A/N: This was just a bit of fun I thought up and thought would go well with their situation. Happy reading
Gibbs laid down on the bed next to Kate, who was sitting up going through magazines.
"So, I need your help" she said and looked over at him. He closed his eyes and sighed.
"Kate, I told you to choose everything" he said softly.
"I know, and as I have said this is our wedding not mine. So please just help me with this one thing" she said, he opened his eyes and looked at her.
"Fine" he rolled over and she showed him the magazine.
"I am having trouble choosing the flowers. I've got it down to these three" she showed him as he looked at her choices. To him they all looked the same, but clearly this meant something to her. He studied them for a moment then pointed to the third option.
"Go with them" he said and she grinned.
"Really? Because I was thinking them as well" she said happily. He smiled, leaned up and kissed her.
"I know you Kate" he simply said. She circled their choice and put the magazine on the bedside table and moved down so she was lying down next to him.
"So how well do you know me, Mr Gibbs?" she teased as she snaked her leg between his.
"Why don't I just show you" he suggested as he leaned in and kissed her deeply. Kate wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. It had been a while since they had been able to actually hold each other, let alone kiss and be intimate.
Gibbs rolled on top of her, a hand going under her shirt to caress her breast. She moaned into his mouth, running her hands down his back, slipped them inside his boxers and grabbed his ass. He pushed his hips into hers. At this point she would normally feel his excitement pressing into her, but she didn't. As his lips started to explore her neck, she moved her hands around to his hips, then ran them up and down his side and over his chest.
Still, she could not feel his excitement. Her hands moved down to try and help it even more. Gibbs let out a moan as he felt her hand on her member. It felt amazing, but for some reason he still was not hard. He willed his body to cooperate with how he was feeling, but the more her hand worked him, the more his body did the opposite of what he wanted. He sighed and grabbed her wrist to stop her. He rested his head on her chest and tried to control his breathing.
"Jethro" she said softly, but before she could say anything else he got up off her and sat on the edge of the bed, his back to her. For a moment she wasn't quite sure what to do, but she got up and sat behind him and wrapped her arms around him.
"It's okay, it happens" she told him softly. It clearly didn't help because he stood up, putting more distance between them.
"Not to me" he said angrily. She watched him for a moment, it was clear that he was embarrassed.
"Look we have both been really busy with work and now with the wedding" she tried to reason with him.
"Kate I want to so bad. I can never get enough of you. Even when I have been dead on my feet I have been able to" he paused searching for the right words "to perform perfectly" he finally said. Kate couldn't disagree with you there.
"Honey it's a normal thing for men your" she stopped herself before she could finish her sentence.
"For men my what, Kate?" he asked. She sighed and got up off the bed.
"Jethro" she said and reached out for him but he moved out of her reach.
"For men my age, right? That's what you wanted to say?" it was clear that no matter what she said would not help as he left the bedroom and practically ran down the stairs.
Kate sat on the bed and sighed. She had no idea what she was supposed to do in this situation. She had never experienced anything like this before and never thought she would. Hell all she had to do was touch him and he was hard.
She decided to give him his space and climbed back into bed and tried to get some sleep.
It had been two days and they still hadn't spoken about the incident from the other night. They had barely even see each other, and Kate couldn't take it anymore. She decided to go and see him on her lunch break to try and reconcile.
When walked up to the squad room and sadly he wasn't there.
"Hey Kate, what are you doing here?" McGee asked with a smile.
"Hi Tim, I was actually after Jethro. Is he here?" she asked looking around.
"No, he and Bishop are out at the moment. Is there anything I can help you with?" he asked and she gave him a sweet smile and shook her head.
"Unfortunately not. But thanks anyway" they said a quick goodbye before she finally left. She thought about seeing Jack and talking about what happened and trying to get some advice on what to do, but decided against because if she went to Jack then she would know about Gibbs' problem and Kate knew Gibbs would hate that. That would actually make him even angrier.
On her way out of the building she decided to call Gibbs and try to organize a date night. Maybe it was all the stress of the wedding that was weighing on his mind and affecting his performance. He was never a big talker and probably would never admit it to her let alone himself. She grabbed her phone and was about to dial his number when she heard his voice.
"Kate, what are you doing here?" he asked. She looked up and saw him and Bishop, who gave her a big smile and hello, but continued walking heading inside to give them their privacy.
"I wanted to come surprise you for lunch, but McGee said you were out so I was just leaving" she explained. Gibbs nodded.
"You should of called, saved you the trip" he said coldly. She took a deep breath to try and keep her composure.
"I was actually about to call you. I would like to take you out to dinner tonight. We haven't really had much us time lately and thought we could use it" she suggested with a small smile. He nodded his agreement.
"I will see how I go with this case. Call you later" just when she thought he was about to walk past her without a good bye, he stopped and kissed her cheek before continuing on. She smiled with the hope that whatever this little hiccup was could still be saved.
Kate sat on the couch with her wine and laptop. Gibbs had called an hour ago saying he would be late, but to make it up to her he would bring home dinner. So here she was, sipping her wine while finalizing their guest list while waiting for him and the food to arrive.
When she heard the front door open and close she didn't move. When he walked in and sat down next to her and placed the food on the table, she still didn't look at him.
"Is there anyone else you would like to add to our list before I send it off to the printers?" she asked as she sipped her wine.
"Nope. As long as you're there I don't care about anybody else" he said softly, making her look over at him. It had to have been the sweetest thing he had ever said to her. She gave him a small smile and put her laptop down.
"Well in that case, the list is done" she said.
"Hungry?" he asked as she grabbed the Chinese.
"Starving" she agreed as she sat closer to him. He passed her the container container her favorite noodles. He passed her chopsticks and they started eating in relative silence.
When Gibbs was done he put his empty container back in the bag, sat back and looked over at Kate.
"Are you okay?" he asked softly. She paused her next mouthful of food to look at him.
"Yeah" she said with a nod. She put her food pack in the container and placed it on the table.
"I think the question is, are you okay?" she asked. He didn't answer her at first, he didn't really know what to say, though the no answer was answer in itself.
Kate moved closer and placed a hand on his knee.
"I know it's been stressful the last few weeks and I don't blame you at all for what has happened. And I would never think about blaming your age either. You should know by now your age means nothing to me, in fact it is one of the things that drew me to you" she smiled softly and reached out to run her fingers through his hair "With this grey hair, your weathered face and personal experience is what I fell in love with. Everything else was just an added bonus" this finally made him smile. He never did take compliments well. He reached up and grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it.
"So if I had to take one of these little pills every time we wanted to have sex, you would still love me?" he asked as he put his hand in his pocket and pulled out the little bottle. Kate couldn't help but smile. It was evident he wanted to fix this problem, so much so that he even went to the GP to try and fix it.
She reached out and grabbed the bottle from him to read the label.
"Pills or not Jethro, I will also love you" she said with a smile. He leaned over and kissed her softly. She looked back down at the bottle and this time noticed the seal was broken and she looked back at him.
"Have you taken one already?" she asked and he nodded.
"While waiting for the food" he admitted which caused her to grin. She gently placed the bottle on the table and fully turned to face him.
"So, does that mean we should try and see if it is going to work?" she asked, biting her lip.
"Oh, but it already has" he said before leaning over and kissing her deeply. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he pushed her back onto the couch. He pressed his hips down into hers and that's when she felt it. She grinned and couldn't help but run her hand down his body to his growing member and grabbed it, causing him to groan into her mouth.
Kate woke up to an empty bed. After the love making on the couch, they then eventually moved up to the bedroom where she had fallen asleep almost instantly.
She got up and pulled on one of his shirts and headed down stairs. She noticed he had cleaned up their dinner from the living room, so she continued down to the basement where he was working on his boat, as always.
"Couldn't sleep?" she said announcing her arrival into the room. He stopped and looked up at her.
"I take it you couldn't either?" he said watching her walk closer to him.
"Well I was, but then I woke up to an empty bed and decided to come and find out why?" she tilted her head and grinned at him. He sighed and stopped what he was doing.
"Well if you must know, I have a small problem" he told her.
"What problem would that be?" she was now a little worried. He cleared his throat and stepped out from behind the boat. When he did, she noticed straight away the bulge that was still in his pants. She couldn't help but grin.
"Oh yes, I see your problem now. Does it say how long it's supposed to last?" she asked as she walked over to him. He sighed, clearly frustrated that it was still up.
"After four hours I am to seek medical attention" he told her and she grinned.
"Well, I could see if could help you with that?" she suggested with a grin. He looked at her a little confused.
"Katie, you're tired. I'm sure it will right itself" he said, but she wasn't really listening, her mind already made up. She stood in front of him and went to lean in to kiss him, but stopped and got down on her knees in front of him.
"Katie" he breathed as he realized what she was going to do. She reached up and pulled his boxers down, kissing the bare skin of his stomach as she did so.
"Let me take care of you" she breathed and before he could object anymore, he felt her lips against the head of his still hard member. Without another thought she took him all into her mouth, moaning as she did so. He couldn't help but reach down and run a hand through her hair as she continued to work him with her mouth. He leaned back, eyes closed as her tongue worked its way up and down the length of him. She let him go with a pop and looked up at him, pleased with the effect she was having on him. She used her hand to work the base of him, while her mouth covered the tip and she sucked, eliciting another moan from the man she loved.
"Oh Katie" he moaned as his hips bucked and he let go into her mouth. She grinned as she finished up and slowly started to stand up, placing kisses up his body as she did so until she reached his lips. He kissed her back deeply, wrapping his arms around her tightly.
"Did I help?" she asked pulling back slightly. He grinned and nodded.
"In more ways than one" she couldn't help but laugh as she leaned back into him. She could feel for herself that he was still somewhat hard, but slowly going limp.
"You know I don't care about the sex, right? I mean it always has and always will be amazing, but it's not the reason why I'm here" she said softly. He nodded and held her tighter against him.
"I know" he kissed her head "Now, let's go up to bed" he suggested and lead them up the stairs, back to their bedroom where he held her as she fell back to sleep. He kissed her shoulder and silently prayed to all the gods that whatever the future holds, that he will always have this woman in his life and in his arms.
