The next morning the alarm in Tony's apartment went off; Tony groaned and reached to shut it off. He shifted his weight to find Kate was already up. Noticing the sound of running water, he decided to find something to eat. Turning on the bedside light, he spotted sweatpants thrown haphazardly over the chair; pulling them on he headed to the kitchen, knowing full well that toast was all he had to offer Kate for breakfast. Kate shut off the water; and grabbed the towel on the nearby rack. Entering the room she winced at the awful sound coming from the kitchen.
"What is that god awful noise, DiNozzo?" Kate asked, grabbing her clothes from the day before.
"Making coffee…" Tony said stopping the grinder just long enough to answer.
"Sounds like you're trying to grind metal," Kate muttered, rolling her eyes.
"Is toast alright for breakfast Kate?" Tony asked.
"Sure, I never eat much myself anyway," Kate said. She finished dressing and headed towards the kitchen. Pushing the door open, she stood stunned then continued into the kitchen watching his every move.
"Not bad, DiNozzo…" Kate said a sly smile playing at the corner of her lips.
"Me or my impressive cooking skills?" Tony asked, his tone laced with sarcasm; raising an eyebrow.
"Wouldn't you like to know," Kate said, putting a piece of bread in the toaster for herself. She looked back at him; smiling slightly when she saw him still watching her. Stepped close to him running her fingertips lightly down his arm; looking in his eyes she kissed him softly.
That small action was all it took to send his control out the window. He stepped closer to her, wrapping his arms around her waist, lifting her slightly. He nibbled at her bottom lip, until she gave in. He slipped entirely into the moment enjoying every touch and the mint taste of Scope that remained from Kate rinsing her mouth minutes ago. Encouraged by her response to his every touch, he slipped his hands underneath her jacket and pushed it off her shoulders. Quickly his hands moved to the bottom of her shirt ready to pull it over her head; suddenly the smell of burnt toast filled the air.
"TONY…look what you made me do!" Kate scolded; unable to contain her laughter.
"Well you know what they say…it takes two to tango, Kate," Tony said.
"Yea, I know...you're so irresistible you made me burn my breakfast..." Kate said, smiling.
"Really? Me? Irresistible?" Tony asked; not sure if he could believe what he was hearing.
"No..." Kate said, moving to pick up her jacket, "I'm gonna make another piece of toast, and you better get ready, Gibbs won't like us if we're late."
"Yea, I hear you," Tony said, heading to take a shower.
