Chapter 3: Discovery

Ziva has just pulled up to the hotel

"Ziva"

Tim shouted as she pulled into the check in lane of the hotel. He ran around the car and as Ziva got out of the car, he picked her up and swung her around. Ziva put her arms around Tim's neck and threw her head back as she started laughing as his exuberance. He finally put her down smiling at her and Ziva, on impulse kiss Tim on the cheek before asking him where the room was. Tim, who was blushing from the kiss, took her bag out the car, grabbed her hand and started leading her inside the hotel and up to their suite. He was smiling and talking to her the whole time and Ziva was smiling back at him, enjoying his rambling. When they got to the suite, he showed her which room was hers.

"So Ziva" Tim began, "do you want to freshen up first or jump straight into being a beach bum?"

Ziva looked at his smiling face and the butterflies started in her stomach again.

"I think I wish for you to teach me on how to be this beach bum" she requested.

"Your wish is my command my lady, go put your bathing suit on we will start on our journey into beach bumness" he said happily.

Ziva frowned at him at said "Timothy, I know I am still learning the English language but I do not think bumness is a word" she said confused.

Tim just smiled that smiled that she loved

"That's the magic of being a beach bum Ziva, we don't need real words. All we need is you, me and the beach. We can be as silly as we want to be because we are not trained agents while we are here. We are beach bums with no cares or responsibilities. Everything we do will be done on the spur of the moment. We are free from those real world trappings Ziva. We are free," he shouted.

Ziva loved this Tim and she loved the prospect of them just being them with nothing expected of them. She could get to like this beach bumness.

"Ok Timothy, I will be right back." Ziva started to turn to her room then stopped and turned back around to face Tim. "Unless, you would like to help me into my bathing suit," she said demurely?

Tim just stood there with his mouth open staring at her. Ziva could see his ears turning red. Ziva started laughing as she went into her room to change. Yes, this was going to be a great weekend. She was going to torture Timothy mercilessly with her seduction. Normally, she wouldn't do something like this but she was not planning on torturing him without letting him get the prize. She wanted Tim and she was going to have Tim. He had no idea that he was already off the market for any other female. Ziva came back out with a big shirt over her bathing suit clad body.

"I am ready Timothy," she called out to him.

"Ok Ziva, let's go get this weekend started"

Again, he took her hand and led her out of the room and out of the hotel. He took her down to the beach where he already had an area set up for them. He had two lounge chairs set up with towels on them and a cooler between them. He had an umbrella positioned just right so the sun wasn't beating down on them but could be moved if they wanted to tan. Ziva smiled at the set up and immediately knew how she was going to start her seduction of her unsuspecting beach bum partner. Ziva let her lounge chair all the way down so that it lay flat. She had to bend over to do this and made sure she was bent over right in front of Tim's view. She snuck a peek under her arm and saw that Tim was mesmerized by her derrière. He stood there staring not realizing what he was doing. Ziva had to suppress a giggle as she made sure to wiggle her butt as she rearranged the towels until they were just right. Ziva was giddy herself thinking she was going to finally get one of her fantasies fulfilled. She had long ago noticed that Tim had very big hands with long fingers. She had wondered what those hands would feel like caressing her body. She reached into her bag and pulled out some suntan lotion.

"Timothy, I am going to need you to rub this on my back" she stated handing him the bottle.

Still in a fog from the image of Ziva bent over, Tim was having trouble focusing.

Ziva took her shirt off and thought Tim was going to pass out. Instead of a bathing suit, Ziva had on a very skimpy yellow bikini that accentuated her curves perfectly. Ziva lay down and released the clasp on the back of her bikini top.

Once again Tim just stood there looking down at this vision of loveliness. Tim was worried though. How was he going to rub suntan lotion on Ziva and not embarrass himself when he stood up with a tent in his trunks?

Ziva pretended to have her eyes closed but was squinting so she could see his face. It took all of her training not to burst out laughing at the look on his face. She almost felt sorry for him, almost. Ziva decided to up the ante. Ziva half turned to look up at Tim letting the bikini top slip down a little so it was barely covering her.

"Timothy, are going to rub the lotion on me," she asked?

The question snapped him out of his fog "Oh, uh yeah Ziva. Sorry, forgot what I was doing for a second," he stammered.

Ziva turned back over and once again lay down waiting for Tim to rub the lotion on her. Tim sat down beside Ziva and squeezed the lotion into his hands and rubbed them together. He then started at her shoulder blades and started massaging the lotion into her soft skin. Ziva had fantasized about how this would feel but her fantasies were nothing compared to the real thing. Tim's big hands were gentle but firm on her. Ziva zoned out and started moaning as Tim continued to massage the lotion into her skin going lower and lower. When he had finished her lower back, he was getting ready to get up when she told him not to forget her sides. He squeezed more lotion into his hands and started working it into her sides starting at her waist. By the time he had worked his way up to the sides of her upper body, Ziva was again moaning in total bliss. Tim was wondering if she wanted him to continue seeing as there were no sides left, only the outsides of her breast.

"Do not stop Timothy," Ziva moaned.

Well, that settled that. Tim put more lotion in his hands and started massaging it into the sides of her breast. It was like an electric shock went through both of them. Ziva had zoned out again and Tim forgot what he was doing and instead of massaging lotion onto the sides of her breast, he started softly caressing her breast. Ziva's moaning got louder which snapped Tim out of his trance. He took his hands away which brought Ziva out of her zone. She turned her head toward Tim and smiled.

"Could you do my legs now please," she requested.

Tim thought, just shoot me now. He slid down toward Ziva's legs and again squeezed the lotion into his hands and started massaging the lotion into her strong beautiful legs. He started at her feet and worked his way up. Ziva had zoned out again and as Tim moved higher and higher, she opened her legs more and more. When Tim got to the top of her thighs, Ziva's body was vibrating. No one had ever got her body to this pitch and Tim had accomplished it just by putting suntan lotion on her. Ziva had stopped moaning and Tim figured she had dropped off to sleep. Tim stopped massaging her legs and started trying to figure out a strategy on how to get to the water to cool off with this tent in his trunks. Tim looked down and saw the boogie board he had forgotten about. He picked it up and took off running toward the water. He held the board in front of him as he ran and dove into the water. Tim figured he would just stay in the water and let Ziva sleep. He would go back in about a ½ an hour to wake her so she wouldn't burn. Tim did take pleasure in knowing he wasn't the only one affected by him putting suntan lotion on Ziva. As he was putting the lotion on her thighs, he noticed that Ziva's bikini bottom was wet in only one spot. He thought that moaning might have just been for his benefit but apparently she was really enjoying his hands on her. He couldn't refute the evidence when it was staring him in the face. He smiled thinking that was quite impressive that someone like him was able to get someone as hot as Ziva turned on. Tim had been swimming about 20 minutes when Ziva started to come out of her erogenous state.

"That was wonderful Timothy, I will do you now, yes" Ziva stated not knowing Tim was gone?

When she didn't get a response, she raised her head and looked around, "Tim?"

She finally spotted him in the water and smiled thinking now I get to get my hands on him. Ziva fastened her bikini top and got up walking purposely toward the water. She had a lot of male admirers but her eyes were for one unsuspecting beach bum. Tim was looking out into the ocean as a yacht went by so he had no clue that he was being stalked until Ziva landed on his back.

"I have you now Timothy. I have captured my first beach bum" she said laughing.

Tim, surprised by the weight on his back and the soft breast pressing into his shoulders recovered quickly.

"Oh really!"

Tim walked out a little deeper into the water before turning around and facing the shore. Finally realizing what he was going to do,

Ziva shouted "You would not dare."

"Yes, I think I would dare," he responded.

Tim just simply fell back into the water, effectively dunking Ziva in the cold salty water. She came up sputtering as Tim was laughing so hard he could hardly breathe. Ziva narrowed her eyes at him.

"This means war Timothy," Ziva stated threateningly.

"Bring it on Ninja Girl," Tim responded.

They played in the water for another 30 minutes before deciding to call it a day at the beach. As they were coming out of the water, Ziva jumped on Tim's back and said he must carry her for leaving her sleeping alone. Tim had no problem with having this scantily clad exotic beauty on his back with those gorgeous legs wrapped around him and happily carried his burden up to their spot. When they arrived, Ziva slid very slowly off of his back making sure she was in complete contact with him until her feet hit the ground. They gathered up their possessions and headed back to the hotel. Ziva grabbed Tim's hand and happily chatted away while holding his hand all the way to the room. Once they were in the room, Tim took charge.

"Ok Ziva, go take a shower and throw on some shorts and a light top. It will remain humid even when the sun goes down. You have had a full day and I would be remiss if I didn't take you to get something to eat. We'll leave in about 30 minutes."

Smiling, Ziva walked over to Tim and gave him a peck on the lips, "Ok Timothy, I will be ready."

She then turned and walked to her room in a way that Tim had never seen her walk before. He had never seen her hips sway like that. Maybe they always did and he just never noticed. But why did she kiss him? If it had been any other woman, Tim would swear he was being seduced. But it wasn't any other woman. It was Ziva and Tim knew she was into Tony, not him. Even though he wished it could be more between them, he was content to have her as a friend. Tim put it out of his mind and rushed into his room to shower and get ready for dinner.

After they had showered and dressed and were heading out, Ziva asked if they were driving and Tim answered no because where he was taking her was not that far. As they strolled along waterfront toward the restaurant, Ziva put her left arm around Tim's waist and took his right hand and lifting his arm, ducked under it so he was hugging her around her shoulders. Tim was surprised but pleasantly so. They continued to talk about everything as they strolled toward the restaurant. Ziva loved the restaurant Tim had picked. The food was good and the atmosphere was care free. Ziva played footsie with Tim under the table throughout the meal. Tim just took it in stride grateful that Ziva thought enough of him as a friend to let her hair down, so to speak, without having to worry about being hit on. When asked about dessert, Tim said no because he had a surprise for Ziva. Tim paid the tab and they left the restaurant continuing the way they had started. Ziva, once again, snuggling up to Tim and getting back into their stroll position. Ziva was having a marvelous time just strolling with Tim with his arm around her. She hardly noticed when he stopped. She looked up and saw him smiling down at her. He turned her a little so she could see why they had stopped. He had brought her to an ice cream parlor that made their ice cream from scratch. Ziva squealed and grabbed Tim's hand to drag him inside. They made their selection and wandered around the store while they waited. When their ice cream was ready, Tim paid and took her hand leading her back outside. They both had ordered cones so they could eat while they walked. Tim took her toward the beach were they benches placed so you could sit and look out at the ocean. Tim selected a bench and sat down pulling Ziva down beside him. Ziva tucked her feet up to the side and took Tim's free hand and placed around her. His hand came to rest on her hip and she snuggled into him as they ate their ice cream and watched the boats go by. No conversation was necessary. Ziva thought this was the most perfect night she had ever had. She was so content just sitting here with Tim's arm around her. She snuggled into to Tim some more trying to burrow into him. She just couldn't seem to get close enough to him. Tim, feeling Ziva burrowing into him, turned his head and gave her a soft gentle kiss on her temple and tightened his hold on her while caressing her side. Ziva knew she could very easily fall in love with this man. He was everything a woman would want in a man and more. Ziva had fallen into a dream like state when Tim nudged her and whispered in her ear that they should head back. This time when they started walking back to the hotel, Tim didn't wait for Ziva to position them. He just draped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close while she wrapped her arm around his waist and leaned into him. They stayed this way all the way up to their suite. Tim disengaged himself or tried to but Ziva wouldn't let him go. He looked into her eyes and saw that she was his for the taking but he would not take advantage of her. He would not do that to Tony either. He leaned down and kissed her lightly on the lips, said good night and went into his room. Ziva stood there for a long time. She could still taste him on her lips. She was not angry though. She knew what had happened. Her sweet Timothy was to much of a gentleman and friend to take advantage of a situation. He didn't invite her down here to seduce her. He invited her down because he considered her to be a good friend and wanted her to have a good time. She could not be mad at him for the being who he was. No, she would not be angry for him being the man she was falling in love with. Yes, she was frustrated. All of that hunk of man in there going to waste while she was out here literally dripping for want of him. She sighed and turned to go into her room. This was not acceptable to her. She made a resolution that Tim would be hers and he would be hers before they left Virginia Beach. That was all there was to it.

They got up the next morning and went and had a fabulous breakfast. The awkwardness, that each thought would come never happened. After breakfast, Tim took Ziva to a go cart race track where Ziva could really let out her wild driving side. She loved it. She laughed the entire time as she and Tim chased each other around the course. Some locals, who had stopped racing the tourists because they didn't know what they were doing, were watching the two and decided these two could provide a challenge for them. Before you knew it, there were 7 of them chasing each other around the course. The new comers thought if they could catch up to the hot brunette, they would have a shot at asking her out on a date. The only problem was they couldn't catch her. Not only could they not catch her but they couldn't even catch the nerd. They were further astonished to see the nerd catch and pass the hot brunette. At first they thought she let him do it until they saw her face. There was no way she had let him catch and pass her. All of the go carts were set at the same speed. What made the difference in winning out here was skill. The locals watched helplessly as the nerd and the hottie took the curves like they were nothing. They barely slowed down going around them. The locals figured after the race they would still go try their luck with the hottie. After the last race, they were all taking their equipment off to turn in when the hottie came running at them with a big smile on her beautiful face. She ran right through them and jumped into the arms of the nerd. They watched as she planted a big kiss on him and started telling how much fun that was. Even her accent was sexy. They had no idea how a guy like him could get a girl like her but it was obvious she only had eyes for him.

After they left the go cart track, they headed back to their suite so they could change and head down to the beach. They were able to grab their same spot and get settled in. Smiling evilly, Ziva pulled out the bottle of suntan lotion.

"Timothy, I got jibbed yesterday. I did not get to put suntan lotion on you. Come and lay here so I may put it on you," Ziva stated.

"You got jipped Ziva, not jibbed" Tim corrected as lay down on his stomach.

Grinning from ear to ear, Ziva climbed on Tim's back and sat down on his butt as she started massaging the lotion into his shoulder blades. Ziva had noticed Tim had lost weight but she did not know that he had turned what was left over into muscle. Ziva lost herself in massaging Tim's body. All she could think about as she caressed his back was tonight he would be hers.

"Uh Ziva" Tim started. "I think you have me covered pretty well."

Ziva snapped into the present and asked to Tim to turnover so she could do his front. He flat out refused. Smiling, because she knew why he would not turnover, Ziva decided to have some fun.

"Timothy, you must turn over now so can I make sure you have the proper amount of lotion on your front," she requested.

"No, that's ok Ziva, I'm good," he responded.

Ziva did something Tim thought he would never see, Ziva pouted. She pouted quite prettily to but the idea of this very dangerous woman pouting because he would not let her rub lotion on his front was to much for Tim. He started chuckling first and then it turned into a full out belly laugh as he took a peek at her again and saw she was still pouting with her arms crossed in front of her. Ziva was trying desperately to suppress the laughter that was bubbling up inside of her. Tim's laughter was infectious and seeing her always serious Tim this relaxed and carefree brought joy to her heart.

"This is not funny Tim, you are jibbing me again," she said still pouting.

"Its jipping Ziva, jipping," he corrected her still laughing.

Ziva was still sitting on Tim and as the laughter had helped ease the problem he had with turning over an idea came to Tim. In one quick move, he turned over so that Ziva was now sitting on his stomach which immediately brought a smile to her face. The smile vanished instantly to surprise as Tim stood up, picking her up in the process. Ziva instinctively wrapped her legs around Tim's waist and her arms around his neck bringing her nose to nose with him. Tim also instinctively put his hands underneath Ziva's butt to hold her up. Now this was more like it Ziva thought smiling ear to ear. Ziva was so busy looking into Tim's eyes that she didn't notice he was walking toward the water. When Tim had walked into the water, he got a devilish look on his face as he turned around to face the shore. Ziva saw the look and only had an instant of realization where they were before he stole a kiss from her and fell back into the water. Once again Ziva came up sputtering as Tim laughed at her. Ziva narrowed her eyes at him and pounced. They played in the water like kids for about 40 minutes before coming out to dry off. Ziva again engaging in her mode of transportation, riding on Tim's back. Once they were dry, Tim stated they would do their own fronts before Ziva could start in on him again. Pouting prettily once again, Ziva reluctantly agreed. Ziva had finished and was already lying back to let the sun do its job of bronzing her. Before he lay back, Tim set the alarm on his phone just in case they fell asleep. He was quite sure Ziva would be ok but he knew he would burn and that just was not acceptable. When Tim's alarm went off, he woke Ziva and they sprinted back to water to cool off and have more play time. When they came back to their area, they started packing up their things and heading to the hotel. Tim was giving Ziva a run down on what he had planned for them for the evening. Although she listened to him attentively, Ziva had other ideas for their evening. They would have to leave today so they could get a good night's rest since they had to work the next day.

Once in their suite, Tim turned to his room to go take a shower but was stopped as Ziva had not let go of his hand. He turned back to her to ask what was wrong when she stepped into his personal space and kissed him hard. Tim, initially surprised, wrapped his arms around Ziva and returned the kiss. When they broke apart, Ziva looked into his eyes and saw the indecision going on there. He was trying to do the right thing and not take advantage of her. Ziva was not having it. She was a grown woman and knew what she wanted. This was one time she did not want him to be a gentleman. She wanted him wild and untamed as they did unmentionable things to each other. She knew he wanted her too. When he had picked her up at the beach, she had felt him harden beneath her as he carried her to the water. She looked at him and whispered softly to him

"Timothy McGee, I want you."

Even though Tim thought Tony had cheated on Ziva with Abby, he still did not want to come between them.

"Ziva," he said in a strangled voice, "I don't want to come between you and Tony."

He dropped his arms from around her, turned and went into his room.

Ziva had been surprised by his statement so she didn't even know he had gone into his room until she heard the door close. Me and Tony she thought where did that come from? It then dawned on her why he would not go further. He thought she was seeing Tony and being who he was, he would not interfere in a relationship. Ziva saw red. She did not know where he got this silly idea from but it ended here and now. She marched into his room and saw him lying on his back staring at the ceiling. It looked like he had sat down on the edge of the bed and then just laid back. She marched over to him and got on top of him straddling him. He sat up and put his arms around her waist so she wouldn't fall.

"Listen to me carefully Timothy," she snarled. "There is nothing between me and Dinozzo. He is a coworker and a friend only. I have never had any romantic feelings for him. They have only been for you."

She then leaned and kissed him into oblivion. After a while, Tim broke the kiss and looked into her eyes.

"But I thought, I mean you two are always flirting so I just thought there was more," he said sadly.

"You thought incorrectly. There has never been anything between us there never will be. I am sitting on the lap of the only man I want to be with," Ziva stated.

Tim felt a like a dam had been released inside of him. He stood up and swung Ziva around laughing uncontrollably. Ziva was his he thought. She didn't want Tony, she wanted him. He finally stopped twirling her around. He sat back down on the bed with her again straddling him and kissed her like she had been dying for him to kiss her the whole weekend. This was the Tim she wanted. This was the Tim who was holding nothing back. He plundered her mouth hungrily and she moaned in the back of her throat. She started trying to get his shirt off so she could get to that luscious skin. Tim broke the kiss and took his shirt off leaving him in just his swimming trunks. Ziva also pulled her shirt off leaving her in just her bikini. Ziva started caressing his shoulders as she kissed him. Tim was caressing her back and when he got to the latch on her bikini top, he undid it and let it drop between them. Now he had free access over her entire back and his magic fingers had Ziva moaning once again. Tim stood with Ziva in his arms and walked around the bed so he could lay her on it. After laying her there he stood and removed his trunks. Ziva thought Tim would be big because of the size of his hands and was pleasantly surprised to see that she was right. Tim walked around to the foot of the bed and crawled up to Ziva's legs and removed her bikini bottoms. He was mesmerized by this exotic beauty who was his. Tim moved up her body until he was looking down into her beautiful eyes. He bent down and once again plundered her mouth as he kissed her. Ziva wrapped her arms around his around his neck and hooked one leg over his as she was lost in a fog of passion. Once their passion was spent, they clung to each other. Tim pulled the covers up over them and they both slept better than they had slept in a long time.

Tim woke up around 5:00 pm. He looked at Ziva's sleeping form half draped over him and smiled. He had planned for them to get on the road at about 8:00 pm so they could arrive home between 11:30 and midnight. He smiled, thinking it was adorable, as Ziva snored softly. He disentangled himself from her and went out into the suite to order room service for them. They told him it would take about 30 minutes. More than enough time he thought. He went back into the room and climbed on the bed and started kissing and giving little bites to Ziva's back and neck. Ziva started moaning again as Tim starting caressing her body. Ziva woke from a wonderful dream to an even better reality. Tim already had her body vibrating. She smiled as little electric shocks ran through out her body. Tim had taken her to heights she had never reached before and had thoroughly satisfied her. Her body had been a puddle of goo as she had drifted off to sleep. He was now stirring up those same sensations again. Ziva turned over with a smile on her face. She took his smiling face between her hands and brought his head down and kissed him senseless. Sparks flew and once again there were only moans and groans coming from the entanglement of arms and legs on the bed.

Later, Tim was lying on his back with Ziva again draped over him. She seemed to love the fact that Tim was a large man and she could just lay on him. They were talking softly when there was a knock at the door. Tim knew it was room service and told Ziva to go get her robe and put it on as he was grabbing his robe. Ziva dashed naked to her room to get the robe. Tim waited to her door was closed before he opened the outer door and ushered the waiter in. He told him to set everything up on the table and they would take it from there. When the waiter was done, Tim signed the tab, giving the waiter a huge tip. He thanked Tim profusely before being shown out. Ziva came out when she heard the door close and looked at all the items Tim had ordered for them. They were both starving as they had not eaten since breakfast. Tim held a chair out for Ziva and as she went to sit down, she stole a quick kiss from him. They ate slowly as they were enjoying their conversation just as much as the food. When they were done eating, it was almost 7:00 pm so Tim let Ziva know it was time to shower and get ready to leave. Tim didn't take into account that Ziva had a voracious sex drive and came into his shower with him to have some more Tim. Being the genius that he was, Tim did not complain at all as he picked Ziva up and pressed her back against the shower wall and proceeded to give her exactly what she wanted. When they were finally done abusing the shower, they packed and were on their way downstairs when they encountered a problem. They wanted to ride home together but they had both drove.

"I know Ziva, I'll have the hotel store your car and we can come back next weekend and get it," Tim explained.

"But how will I get to work and home," Ziva asked?

Tim got a devilish look on his face

"We will ride in together and ride home together. You will stay with me at my place or I will stay with you at your place. It really doesn't matter to mean just as long as I get to go to sleep with you in my arms and wake up with you in my arms," Tim told her.

Ziva looked away from him as she did not want him to see the tears that came to her eyes hearing his declaration. She did not want him to think she was one of those silly women who cried over everything. Tim gently took her chin in his hand and turned her head so she was facing him again

"It's ok my beautiful ninja, you never have to hide anything from me. I know exactly who you are and you are exactly what I want. Never think you have to keep anything from me," Tim said quietly.

Ziva reached up brought his face down to her and kissed him until they heard someone clearing their throat. They broke apart smiling at each other and said hello to the older couple who had been watching with smiles on their faces. Tim went and spoke to the manager about storing Ziva's car. At first, it looked like the manager wasn't going to go for it until Tim pulled a book out of his bag, signed it and handed it to the manager. The manager looked at the book and then back at Tim with his mouth open. Once he was able to function again, the manager couldn't do enough for Tim. He told him that he would personally see that the car was stored away from any other cars to ensure no dings or scratches occurred. Ziva was amazed at the change in the manager and wondered what the book was.

Tim came back to Ziva and slung his arm around her shoulder as she wrapped her arms around his waist. Tim helped Ziva into his convertible Porsche Boxster before stowing their bags and getting in. Neither one of them noticed that they were the center of many envious stares. Tim started the car and off they went heading back home. Ziva waited until they got on the highway before her curiosity got the better of her and she turned to Tim.

"Ok Timothy, what did you say to that manager and what was that book that you handed him?"

Tim gave a small chuckle

"Look in the glove compartment," he told her.

Ziva looked in the glove compartment and found two books in there. She took one out and read the title and the author.

"Do you know Thom E. Gemcity," Ziva asked.

Again Tim chuckled

"There is a picture of him in the back of the book," Tim told her.

Ziva looked in the back of the book and her eyes got big. There was a picture of her Tim here. But why would his picture be in Thom E. Gemcity's book unless. She looked over at Tim and shouted

"You are Thom E. Gemcity!"
