It was late in the afternoon when they arrived at the hotel. Kate opened the window and looked outside at the still brightly shining sun and the pleasant heat. She sighed and thought about sunbathing. It was the perfect moment with Gibbs not there to comment. She smiled and grabbed her green Banana Moon bikini out of her bag and headed for the bathroom. She always took her bikini when she went to a sunny state, but never had the opportunity to use it before. She took her matching green skirt to wear above it, took her towel and book and went outside.
At the same time, Tony opened his window and stared outside. His eyes followed the shoreline and his eyes started to twinkle when he saw some topless women lying on the beach. He looked further and his eyes started to enlarge when he saw a familiar face walking towards the sand wearing a green bikini. Whoa! He closed the window and tiptoed towards the door and left the room. Kate was already lying on her towel, reading her book when Tony appeared behind her.
"Katie, Katie, you didn't tell me that the meeting was here."
"How did you find me?" she asked surprised.
"Well, let's say I had a great view from up there," he answered, while pointing in the direction of his hotel room. "Mind if I join you?"
"Yes" she said annoyed, not looking up from her book.
"Thanks" and he sank down on his own towel. He jumped back up and removed his shirt, while 2 blondes passed him and sighed at the sight. Tony winked at them.
"So has Lady Chatterley find her lover?" he continued. Kate rolled her eyes and closed her book. It didn't look like she was going to read much anyway.
"So, you want to go swimming?" he asked with a big grin on his face.
"Uh, no Tony, I already did that this afternoon!"
"C'mon, you know you secretly want to, but you're just scared of getting your hair wet!" He raised his eyebrows and winked at her.
"Uh, no Tony don't you dare!" she yelled, while Tony grabbed her struggling feet and swung her over his shoulder. She was smacking his back with both of her hands.
"DiNozzo, put me down, put me down!" while Tony was grinning like a Cheshire cat.
"Just a sec hon" he laughed and let her fall down in the tepid water. It did feel good, but the thought of getting back at Tony, was much more fun. She stood up and looked at his big smile, she came close and pushed him down under. When he came up totally wet like her, they both started to laugh.
"Imagine if Gibbs were here, he would be totally pissed off!" Tony laughed and turned around the second afterwards to look behind him, because normally that's where Gibbs is at that moment to thwack him. Kate laughed.
"Relax Tony, Gibbs is only coming back by tomorrow. We have still a few hours to enjoy ourselves!" while she pulled him down under. When he wanted to grab her, she noticed in the corner of her eyes that McGee was leaving the building towards the beach.
"Look, McGee has woke up, we cannot leave him there alone, he probably already went over to our rooms to see where we were." Kate said while stopping Tony get his hands all over her. He agreed with dislike. They came out of the water and Tony couldn't help it, but he kept staring at her muscled body in that bikini. Damn she looks so hot! Why does it feel so good and so bad?
"Like what you see DiNozzo?" Kate asked defiant.
"Erm...ah... you know I do!" he mumbled.
"Good" she answered, patted his wet chest and made a run for it. God, why did I just say that? Great move Todd, give him a reason to get even more turned on! She tried to run it out of her system, but she knew quite well that it was a test for the both of them about how long they could resist their sweet temptation. And she didn't know how much longer she could keep it together. She noticed him running up beside her, taking up the challenge and they reached McGee panting.
"Tim, you're feeling a little better?" Kate asked worried. He did look a little pale.
"Uh, a little..." he said.
"You're hungry Probie? Cos I know I am. Let's get washed up and ready for dinner!" He joked and grabbed Kate by the waist.
"Hey, I still need to get my stuff here Spanky!" she laughed.
Dinner happened pretty much in silence. McGee was still a little sleepy from the painkillers and Kate didn't really hear what Tony had to tell about his favourite high school girlfriend. She was thinking about what happened that afternoon or rephrased: what she let happen. She wasn't sure about what was going on, but it seemed that Tony was very casual about it, as if it's the most normal thing in the world. Maybe it was for him, but they both knew quite well that the tension was building up between them and it wouldn't take very long before it would explode.
