Here's what I think will be the final chapter. Once again, its pretty steamy as it picks up from where Chapter 5 left off… Just a warning in case this kind of thing bothers you!

Enjoy…

PAST TENSE

Chapter 6:

Ziva slowly stirred, stretching like a cat as she yawned. The warmth of a male body pressed up against her back reminded her she was not alone... for the third night in a row. She had arrived at Tony's place Friday night and was yet to leave. It was now early Monday morning and both of them were expected in at work no later than 8am. They had barely left his bedroom all weekend. The sheets were a tangled mess and remnants of fruit and cream had been squashed into everything from the duvet to the pillows. Ziva smiled as she thought back over the past few days with Tony. He certainly was an incredible lover, and contrary to what most would assume, he was very selfless when it came to pleasing her. In fact, he seemed to get as much pleasure from giving her attention as he did himself when she reciprocated. Yes, Anthony DiNozzo was quite the complex individual, she decided. There was definitely more to him than initially met the eye.

"G'morning…",Tony mumbled into Ziva's neck as he slowly began to wake. He tightened his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him as he spooned against her, entwining his legs with hers. He sighed contentedly, not wanting to have to get up and break the moment.

"Mmmm, you really want us to be late for work, don't you", Ziva purred as she pushed her bottom into Tony's early morning erection.

"Uhuh", was his lazy reply.

Without changing their position, he slowly reached down to push himself into her from behind. Ziva moaned her approval as he started to move against her. She squirmed against him, pushing in time with his movements. Her own hand came down to touch herself and Tony groaned as he watched from over her shoulder. "God Ziva, you are so hot. I can't get enough of you…" his early morning voice was throaty and his warm breath created the skin on her neck to tingle. He started to push a little harder into her, making her rub herself quicker to match.

Tony moved his hand down to cover hers, helping her touch herself as they rocked back and forth against each other. Their heavy breathing and soft, sensual moans filled the early morning air. Ziva was the first to tip over the edge, clasping Tony's hand hard as she pushed it against herself, crying out uninhibitedly as she rode out the wave of her orgasm. Tony was close behind her, but he needed a change of pace so quickly he flipped them over, entering her again as he pushed her legs up and over his shoulders. He thrust into her a few more times before he came hard inside of her, feeling every nerve in his body react from head to toe.

They lay there a few moments longer, coming down from their high while enjoying the closeness as their bodies remained joined. The moment was broken by the sound of the alarm, both of them sighing in frustration. "No…" Tony snuggled into Ziva and pretended not to notice but Ziva reached over and hit it with her fist, stopping the annoying buzz.

"Tony, we have to get up. I have to go home before work to get some clothes. The only ones I have here are still stuck to your kitchen floor".

Tony laughed evilly, "And your panties were thrown out with the pasta sauce".

"Argh, not funny. I don't want to get up", Ziva pretended to cry.

"Of course, your bag of dirty laundry is still sitting on my dining room table…" Tony playfully raised an eyebrow as he pushed himself up to lean on his forearms, still on top of her.

The phone beside the bed began to ring and Tony instinctively reached across to answer it. Ziva lay under him, lazily caressing his back as he talked. "Yeah boss. No boss. Sure. Yeah. OK boss," pretty much summed up the conversation.

"Let me guess…" Ziva looked up at him.

"A reminder call. He expects me to be well rested and ready for action", Tony sighed.

"Well I can definitely vouch that you are ready for action, Anthony," Ziva playfully swatted him on the bottom, grinning as she did so. "As for the well rested…"

Tony leant down to kiss her, running his hands through her tousled hair as he deepened the kiss. "C'mon, lets get this over with", Tony broke the kiss and tried to move from on top of her but Ziva grabbed him and pulled him back into another searing kiss that was sure to make them late. "Traffic really is a bitch at this time of day anyway…" Tony muttered against her lips as he lost himself within her again for the countless time that weekend…

---------

Ziva figured she could get away with being a little late for work, but Tony really had to be in on time, especially after being on sick leave for so long. So once they finished yet another round of lovemaking, Tony headed for the shower as Ziva retrieved what she could of her clothes in an effort to make herself reasonably respectable for the drive home. After Tony quickly shaved and dressed, he grabbed his keys and headed out the door with Ziva. Her car had been parked in the visitor spot all weekend, and as he walked her over to it his stomach began to knot. Usually he was ready to have his dates leave in the morning, but with Ziva it was different. He wasn't sure why he was feeling apprehensive, he guessed it had to do with the realization that he really did feel more for her than he was used to feeling with anyone else. This was definitely new territory for Tony as Ziva was not just another date. How they handled themselves at work would be interesting. They really had no other option than to keep things quiet, or face the wrath of Gibbs with potentially one or both of them being transferred out of NCIS.

"Tony, you really do have to get going. I'll be fine. I'll think of something". Ziva could sense Tony was deep in thought, so she tried to lighten his mood, "You just get that sexy butt of yours into the office before Gibbs comes looking for you", she winked at him, kissing him on the cheek as she got into her car. "I'll see you there in about an hour".

Tony smiled as he closed her door, and waited for her to drive off before heading down to the parking garage to retrieve his own vehicle. Yes, it was going to be one strange day, he knew that already. For one, it had been over a month since he had even been into the office, now add to that this new relationship with Ziva.

There was that 'R' word again. He shook his head. One thing was certain: life was never dull for special agent Anthony DiNozzo.

END… maybe?

Do you want to see a sequel? Or more chapters dealing with how they handle things at work now they are a couple? Or are they a couple… maybe Ziva has a change of heart… I'm teasing now aren't I 
