It was easy to keep her at the office a little longer. To keep her around a little longer. He was her boss after all... Trying his best to look inconspicuous and busy he had watched her the whole evening long, doing his best to keep all the fantasies at bay his mind suddenly seemed to generate minutely!
It had been his plan to write her another email that morning, but when he had approached Abby a surprise had waited for him: Kate had answered! And not just in a way someone would answer when getting a dirty little mail from an unknown sender...no. She'd written back quite as detailed and in doing so had thwarted his fine plan! Even though it had been sent to the anonymous address he had had the feeling she very well knew whom she'd replied to and strangely this made him somehow nervous. He wouldn't admit that though...Anyway he hadn't written back, but instead assigned tasks a little differently that day. When it was people going with him, today it had been her. When it was him sneaking up to people, it had been sneaking up to her for the day. He kept it like normal, but made sure that SHE noticed.
It had become pitch black outside and the other agents had long since left when Gibbs finally got up, killing his computer.
"You finished?" he asked while stretching his back and shrugging on his jacket.
"Not even by half." came back a frustrated sigh from somewhere behind her computer screen.
He chuckled inwardly but gruffly said: "Let's call it a day then."
Briefly wondering if she maybe thought that the boring load of paperwork he'd given her was a punishment for her email, he observed her reaction. Kate straightened and peered over at him, seemingly surprised, but of course she didn't object. Once more for the day he granted himself the fun of sneaking up on her while she collected her stuff. The gesture of helping her into her coat was met by a typical rolling of the eyes, but he just smiled one of his half-smiles and she finally accepted.
"Now, how did I earn this!" she inquired mockingly.
"Being yourself?" he suggested.
Gibbs was buzzing with anticipation, like he hadn't for ages. This was something good and his gut-feeling was just right. The moment they had met on the 'Air Force One' he had known that she was a great woman, someone he could fall for, given enough time and a chance. He hadn't wanted it to happen, but their relationship had slowly developed and now with those case emails it had escalated. And being forced to decide for either yes or no, it was rather yes for him than no - even given all the risks of a team-internal relationship!
He kept his thoughts to himself though, hiding his emotions while they walked over to the elevator. The moment the doors had closed on them however, he flipped the emergency switch and pulled the cable from the security camera.
Seeing it as the invitation it was, Kate snuggled up to him instantly. "This wasn't in your email!" she whispered, when his arms came around to embrace her.
"Nope, it wasn't." he whispered back, smiling and holding her close.
"But...?"
"No buts."
There was a pause in which they just enjoyed their closeness, breathed in each others scent and looked into the eyes of the respective other.
Suddenly a grin formed on Kate's face. "Did you change the sheets this morning?" she asked saucily.
Gibbs laughed. "Why. Did you?"
Her eyes twinkled in amusement. "Yeah, actually I did." she said.
He made a few steps in her direction, bringing her up against the wall so that they were pressed together on full length.
"Good!" His voice was a hoarse rush in her ear while his breath grazed her skin. "You weren't the only one."
And with that his lips and hands finally descended on her in a variation of their earlier writings making one of the untold fantasies come true...
