Chapter Twelve

When Tony arrived home that night, he was surprised to find Aurora sitting at the dining table, waiting for him. She had changed and was wearing black pants and a red tank top. Damn, why did she have to look so damn hot when he was angry at her?

'Aurora,' he tossed down his bag and it fell with a clunk. 'I'm surprised to see you here,' he moved toward the kitchen.

'What happened today?' she stood and followed him. 'Why are you angry at me?'

'Why am I mad,' Tony repeated her question as he went past her to the fridge and grabbed out a beer. 'Okay where to start,' he pretended to think. 'Okay the inside man bit, that threw me when you first said it but then I made myself believe that it was because you wanted someone you knew and trusted and then I went back to thinking that you were just using me as someone to get information about the investigation from. Two, the way everything went down today, why you are being so damn evasive and won't answer Gibbs questions straight. We are on the same damn side you know and this is a Naval investigation. Three,' he took a pull on his beer and held his hand up in an I'm not finished yet gesture. 'There is history between you and Gibbs and you aren't willing to share as to why my boss hates your guts so much and four... '

'God Tony!' Aurora muttered, frustrated. 'One, what I said about the inside man thing, didn't mean what you think! I wanted someone in there I could trust if I wanted to get information to Gibbs about it. I'm not sleeping with you for information! I thought you knew me better then that!' she shook her head. 'Two, I answered all of Gibbs questions truthfully, I didn't evade them. Three, Gibbs and I have a working history and if doesn't want to tell you, I shouldn't tell you,'she paused. 'And what is four?' she asked him.

'There is no four,' he told her. 'Well yes there is but four is not your fault,'

'What is it?' she asked him seriously. 'I want to know,'

'It's nothing,' he shook his head walked over to the widow and looked out. 'You shouldn't be here you know.' he took another pull on beer.

'If you want me to go, I will,' she said. 'But I want to know what the fourth thing is,'

'I don't want you to go that's the problem,' he turned back to her.'But I told Gibbs that we were over and if he finds out that I lied,' he shrugged. 'Well you know.'

'I won't tell if you won't,' she shrugged. She didn't want to go either but she wasn't sure staying was a good idea. She dropped into a dining chair. She sighed. 'Maybe it's better if I go,' she said softly. 'I've probably caused you enough trouble,'

'That seems to be my middle name Aurora and besides I don't want you to go,'

She looked up at him, to find him gazing at her. 'Tony,' she said softly, standing. 'I.. are you sure?' she asked him. She didn't want to go but nor did she want to mess things up for Tony either.

'I'm positive. Like I said I'm a big boy and I can look after myself.'

She grinned at him, moving toward him until she was standing in front of him. 'So you're not mad anymore?' she asked him. 'I'd never use you to get information Tony. I came over last night because I wanted to see you.'

'I guess I over reacted,' he put down his beer and pulled her too him. Oh boy if Gibbs finds out am I ever in trouble he thought before dismissing the thought again.

'Understandable,' she said. 'I guess I should have talked to you first, or talked to Gibbs alone,' she said, leaning him and kissed him deeply, half pressed his back against the wall.

'Hey, you can thank Cait for not talking to Gibbs alone,' he told her. 'I tried to talk her out of that but...'

'It's okay,' she said. 'It's just the less people who know I'm around, the better for everyone,' she told him.

'Aurora, can I ask you a question?' he said.

'Of course,' she looked up at him. 'Doesn't mean I'll answer it but you can ask,' she teased. 'Of course you can,'

'What's going on, really going on?' he bit his lip. 'It won't go any further then me. Cross my heart and hope to die in a hail of bullets if I do.' he gazed at her seriously

'You had to ask huh?' Aurora looked up at him, pulling away slightly.

'Okay,' he sighed. 'I should have known you'd react like this but I'd like to know what we're into, what we're up against. You can understand that can't you?'

'We as in us, or we as in you, Cait and Gibbs?' Aurora asked.

'All of us,' he said simply

She took a deep breath, weighing things up. 'Alright, I'll tell you.' she said finally. 'But it can't go any further then this room, not even Gibbs,' she told him.

'Okay,' he walked over to the dining room table and sat down, as did Aurora. 'Shoot.'

She sighed softly. 'I'm not with FBI anymore,' she told him.

'Then who are you with,' Tony frowned, no longer sure he wanted to hear this.

'You still want to know?' she asked, sensing a change in him.

'Absolutely,' he paused. 'Do you need a drink? Sorry I should have asked sooner.'

She shook her head. 'I left the FBI about 4 years ago. I got offered a better position and I took it,' she said.

'And?' Tony asked, wanting to know. 'Who are you with?'

Aurora sighed, wondering if he'd blow an artery when he told him. 'Omega,' she whispered softly.

'Jesus Christ,' Tony spluttered on his beer almost choking. OMEGA! What on earth is going on then?' Omega was a top secret government agency, higher up then the FBI, CIA and Secret Service. It took on the jobs, even those agencies didn't want to touch or assignments that were deemed too confidential for them to handle. Governmnt agencies were aware of them but civilians were not.

'O'Sullivan had information for us. Omega has a snitch. We don't know who it is but information is getting leaked out.' she said. 'We can't afford that. O'Sullivan had information and I was sent in alone to get it. The Boss figures I'm clean,' she walked to the kitchen and got the spluttering Special Agent a glass of water. 'Here,' she pressed it into his hand. "Don't want you dying on me in your own home, after all my DNA is everywhere,' she gave him a small smile.

'Thanks,' he took the water and took a gulp. 'Well that explains a lot,' he took a deep breath. 'Jesus Christ Aurora,' he shook his head.

'How did I know you were going to say that?' she looked at him.

'Because you're you.' he shook his head. 'Worse then bloody Gibbs,'

'It's a gift. One thing Gibbs and I have in common,' she scrunched up her nose at the idea of her being even slightly like Gibbs.

Tony took a gulp of the water. 'Why didn't you tell me?' he asked her. 'About Omega? About why you're here,'

'Because I didn't want to put you in danger. Omega isn't like the FBI or CIA. It's more then both of them combined.' she told him.

'I know but we need to know what is going on!' Tony told her.

'I've told you now,' she said. 'I had to go back to my Boss, seewhat he wanted me to do now O'Sullivan was dead,'

'What did your Boss say?' Tony asked her.

'He wants me to stay around. He doesn't want Omega's name anywhere near this case, in case we get compromised. He does however want the

name of the killer. We'll have to follow this up later. It's highly likely someone got wind of O'Sullivan having inside information on this snitch.'

'And that's why no one can know you're here,' he said. 'You'll be compromised and they could come after you if they thought you knew anything,'

'They'd come after me for fun,' she told him. 'Or money. Any idea how much an Omega agent is worth for a hired gun?'

'I'd hate to ask,' Tony closed his eyes for a moment.

'Millions,' she told him. 'Some of the information we know...' she sighed.

Tony nodded. He could understand that. 'Okay, so what can I do?' he asked her.

'Nothing,' she told him seriously. 'Just try and crack the case,'

'I will,' Tony nodded. 'But can I do anything else? I don't like to see you in danger,'

'I'm always in danger,' she told him with a small smile.

Tony frowned slightly. He didn't like the idea of her being in danger at all, let alone all the time. 'Aurora,' he said softly.

'It's okay,' she said softly. 'It's my job and,' she shrugged. 'I chose this job Tony. I love it and I wouldn't trade it for anything,'

He nodded. He understood. He felt the same way about NCIS. 'We have..' he started to say but Aurora interrupted him.

'No. We can't tell Gibbs,' Aurora said. 'I'm on strict instructions not to tell anyone why I'm here. I shouldn't have even told you,'

Tony sighed. 'Alright,' he nodded. 'At least I know and I'm part of the investigation,'

Aurora nodded. 'Thank you,' she told him. 'For understanding,'

He looked up at her and smiled, touching her hand. 'Anytime. You know you can trust me,' he told her.

She nodded, squeezing his hand before she pulled away.

'Hmm hungry?' Tony asked her, feeling his stomach rumble softly. 'I can make us some dinner

'Hmmm yes,' she leaned across and kissed him deeply. 'But food is the furthest thing from my mind,'

He laughed softly, pulling her close so she was in his lap. He kissed her deeply, one hand stroking his shoulders, the other around her back to support her.

Aurora moaned softly against him. With her job, she didn't really have relationships and that included sex. She didn't trust anyone and people were too vulnerable in the middle of sex. All it would take would be for her to let her guard down for a second...

'Too many thoughts,' Tony teased, kissing her deeply before he moved his lips to her neck, nuzzling her. Damn it, he didn't care what he had told Gibbs. He wanted her to stay and she needed him right now.

She grinned. She trusted Tony. She knew Tony would never hurt her, he couldn't be bought by someone looking to hurt her. She wasn't sure if she'd truly felt safe with anyone before. When your own father can be convinced to kill his only child for a few million, it becomes hard to trust anyone. But she knew she was safe with Tony.

'Hey,' his husky voice whispered in her ear. 'Where did you go?' he asked her gently.

'I'm right here,' she grinned at him, kissing him deeply and shivering as she felt him exploring her mouth.

'Hmm what say we continue this somewhere a little more conformable?' he whispered to her. He had been hungry but food wasn't even registering now.

She nodded as he stood, scooping her up with him. She was as light as a feather and he carried her toward his bedroom, kicking the door closed as he entered.

He placed her down on the bed, joining her seconds later and kissed her deeply. She moaned into his mouth as his hands explored her body

gently. His fingers caressed her breasts gently, his fingers teasing her nipples through her clothes before his hands moved down. He stroked her side, making her squirm under him and he grinned.

'Tony,' she moaned, arching her back toward him. God what he could do to her...

He grinned, running his fingers across he bottom on her top before his hands slipped underneath, stroking her smooth warm skin with his long fingers. Last night had been amazing but it had been more

about instant satisfaction, their mutual desperate need. Tonight he wanted to draw it out.

She whimpered softly as his fingers grazed her breasts through her bra. The tips of his fingers teased the now hard peaks and he gently pulled her shirt over her head.

'Aurora,' he whispered softly, taking in the sight of her. The curtains were open tonight, unlike the previous night and the added light made sure he could see her. He noted a few small scars across her abdomen. It happened in their line of work. Some were old, he remembered them. Others were new. 'Aurora,' he touched a long thin scar which started at her hip and went up to her side, ending in line with her elbow.

'Hmm I look like a patch work quilt,' she said softly with small smile.

'Hmm patch work quilts are beautiful pieces of art,' he kissed her deeply.

'Oh Tony,' Aurora whispered, pulling him closer.

He smiled, kissing her as he removed her bra, tossing it aside on the floor, his hands now free to explore.

And explore they did, leaving Aurora begging for more. Tony grinned. 'Patience,' he whispered, reaching for her pants but was surprised when he suddenly was on his back, Aurora straddling him. 'Hmm patience was never my strong point,' she grinned at him widely.

Tony grinned up at her as she pulled off his shirt before trailing kisses along his chest, reaching the waist band, pressing kisses along it before she slowly undid his pants.

'Aurora,' he whispered her name. Damn taking it slow, he wanted her and wanted her now!

She grinned at him, removing his pants and boxers and he pulled he closer, kissing her deeply. He undid her pants, taking off the holster on the side carefully before he slid her pants down, revealing her ankle holster and a knife sheath in the small of her back.

He removed the weapons, placing them on the nightstand table before

he turned his attention back to her. God she was so beautiful,' he thought as he gently lowered himself back to the bed, removing her panties quickly.

'Tony,' Aurora moaned his name against his shoulder. 'Please,'

'Hmm don't have to ask me twice,' he teased her gently, leaning over and kissing her before he reach across to the nightstand, getting a condom from the top draw.

Aurora took it from him, rolling in on before she looked up at him.She wanted this, needed this and she could tell he did too.

He joined their bodies gently, both shivering at the sensations.Within minutes they both cried each others name as their passions exploded.

They lay like that for awhile, both catching their breaths. Tony rolled them over finally, kissing her before he moved into the bathroom, returning several moments later and climbed back into bed.

'That was great,' Aurora said softly as Tony put his arm around her.

'Always is,' he grinned, kissing her. 'We need dinner,' he laughed. 'We kind of got sidetracked,'

'We can order in,' Aurora suggested.

He nodded, climbing out of bed and returned with a handful of take away menus and the phone. 'Ladies choice,' he handed them to her.

She laughed, taking them from him and sat up, pulling the white sheet around herself. 'Chinese sounds good,' she pulled out of the menus after flicking through them. Tony nodded. 'They're great, they have the best spring rolls.' he told her.

He called and ordered before hanging up. '40 minutes,' Tony told Aurora.

'Hmm how can we fill in the time?' she gave him a grin.

'Oh I don't know,' Tony grinned back at her. He wanted to ask her so many questions. How she ended with Omega. Why did she leave the FBI, but he knew she wouldn't answer right now. He'd ask when he felt she was ready

It was just after 1am when Tony yawned. They had eaten dinner in bed and made love several times afterwards. 'God, you've been here less then 24 hours and already worn me out,' he teased.

Aurora, who was curled up beside him laughed. 'Best way to be worn out,' she smiled at him. 'You should get some sleep,' she told him.

'What about you?' he asked.

'I'll get some sleep,' she assured him. A few short hours a night usually held her in good stead, so she wasn't overly concerned.

He nodded, knowing her sleeping patterns. 'Alright,' he said. He wanted to stay awake but he was exhausted and knew he had to front up to work the giving her another kiss before he lay down and soon was sound asleep.

Aurora wasn't quite ready for sleep and watched Tony. His brown hair was dishevelled but he had a certain glow about him. A small smile was touching his lips. He looked cute when he slept.

She smothered a chuckle. Cute? Puppies and Kittens were cute! Grown men weren't! Although looking at Tony now, it was the only way to describe him. Cute. She decided to get some work done and she slowly and carefully climbed out of bed. Tony didn't even stir as she stood from the bed, the mattress giving a soft squeak.

Picking up one of her guns from the side table, she pulled on one of Tony's shirts. It was too big for her and insisted on falling down one shoulder. She shook her head, deciding to deal with the Flash dance look before she moved into the lounge room

Taking her laptop from her bag, she quickly set it up, pulling out one of Tony's phone connections and plugged in her laptop.

While it was loading, she grabbed a bottle of water and some left over Chinese, moving back to the computer to get some work done.

It was a few minutes past four, when she decided to call it a night. She shut her computer down and packed it away, tossing away the empty water bottle and food container before she moved back into the bedroom. Placing her gun on the side table, she climbed back into bed.

Tony was still sound asleep but when she lay down, he put an arm around her and she accepted it before she settled down to sleep.
