Kate walked out of the bathroom to find Tony already in bed pecking away on his laptop. She gave a slight chuckle and climbed into her side of the bed, allowing herself to sink into the down mattress and pull the down comforter up to her chest. "Tony, you really need to learn how to type." She gave him a look out of the corner of her eye before reaching over and grabbing the book she had brought from home off of her bedside table.

"And you really need to read the case files instead of your little book."

"I've already memorized all of the case files, besides reading something different helps to clear my mind so I can focus more on the case." Kate read a few pages before her eyes became heavy closing her book she replaced it and turned off her light.

"You going to sleep?"

"No DiNozzo, I enjoy reading in the dark." Kate turned on her side with her back facing him, trying to make sure that neither of them would be touching when they slept for propriety's sake. A few minutes later Tony followed suet and tried his hardest not to touch her while they slept. But the warmth of her body was creeping over to his side of the bed and he couldn't escape it. 'Damn you Todd." He thought as he drifted off to sleep and tried to get her out of his mind so that his dreams would not once again be filled with her. Next to him in the bed, Kate's line of thinking was following his. She wanted desperately to escape the warmth of his body now encircling hers as she drifted off to sleep.

'Damn you DiNozzo'

The sharp ringing of a cell phone brought Kate out of the best sleep she'd had in a long time. She was surprised to find herself curled into Tony's body with her head on his chest and his arm encircling her waist.

"Kate that's yours," Tony's groggy voice woke her up enough to roll over and grab her phone off of the table.

"Hello?" her voice was just as groggy as Tony's and without thinking she moved back into her original position, curled beside him.

"Have you looked outside this morning? It poured during the night and its still raining now!"

"Good morning to you to Gibbs." Kate's eyes were still closed and she was too tired to really understand what her boss was saying.

"Our crime scenes' going to be nonexistent if this keeps up."

"Doesn't the FBI have the evidence from the latest crime scene already?"

"That's the easy way out Caitlyn; I wanted us to get a feel for the crime scene ourselves. As a profiler you should know that."

"Gibbs, it's five in the morning, and I'm in the most comfortable bed in the world. I don't even know my middle name right now."

Gibbs muttered something she couldn't understand before finally saying, "We're going to have to wait till the rain stops anyways so I'll be by your cabin later." With that he hung up the phone, without giving Kate a chance to ask how he planned on getting to their cabin unnoticed. She moved away from Tony to put her phone back on the table and lay back on her side, deciding it would be best to put some distance between them. To her surprise, Tony followed her and pressed himself against her back, wrapping his arms around her waist. Kate stiffened for a moment before realizing that he must be asleep. She had to admit that she'd never felt so comfortable cuddling with another man. She closed her eyes and once again drifted off to sleep with images that should never have been in her head.
