A Hidden Love

Chapter 2.

After having had a couple of blissful days while they were having the break from work and celebrating their new union, it was then back to the grindstone for both Gibbs and Tony.

With having agreed that for now they would keep things quiet about their new relationship, until they knew where it was going and they had perhaps got more serious. So Tony had gone back to his apartment, had a quick shower and got ready for work, while Gibbs did the same at his.

As Tony arrived even though they were keeping things quiet, he was finding it very hard to keep himself in check, especially when as he arrived at his desk he said "Good morning." To both Ziva and Gibbs, to which Gibbs just looked up and gave him a slight nod of his head before he went back to looking at the paper work he was currently looking at, and all Tony wanted to do was smile, finding it very hard not letting it escape.

A few hours later and he was in for a bit of a surprise when they were called to a crime scene at a flower shop and the victim belonged to a group that were fighting crime as superheroes, after having got back to the Navy Yard Tony had got fed up with McGee going on and on about the group and what they did, but things got worse, or so he thought when he went down to the lab to get away from it, only to find that Abby was dressed up like one of them as a cat. The next thing he knew was that as he came out of the lab it was to run straight into Wendy of all people because Gibbs had chosen him to be liaison to the press with her being a reporter now.

As the case went on and Tony at times felt a bit like he was chasing his tail so to speak, trying to keep Wendy from revealing any secrets from their relationship, especially from Ziva, but the biggest thing he was fighting was the temptation that she kept giving him, like wearing the perfume that he really loved, which when he did finally manage to get a moment to himself he realized that perhaps Christmas was supposed to happen in the way that it did because he knew that if he had gone and met her, then he may have given into the temptation and ended up starting a relationship with her once again, when all he had a feeling about the situation she was in now, being a single mom to her son, was that she was just after a father figure in her life once again for her son, and he could see that he would most probably end up just getting hurt all over again if he did get back with her, and yes it had just been a few days, but he already knew that Gibbs was all that he wanted in his life.

When the case was all over he went over to the flower shop to see her for one final time, because the director had told her that she could go and take pictures of their crime scene for her report on the events. As they talked she did manage to admit that when she had invited him for that Christmas brunch, some of it was because she was hoping that he might become a source she could use if she was working on any cases on Navy or Marine personnel, as she had been then, but her other motive was because she knew she was ready for a more serious relationship with him now. In the pause and silence that followed the remark she then broke it by then saying "But you're not interested in that are you?"

He shook his head in the negative and said "I'm not, I just think it would be a big mistake for us to revisit all of that Wendy, and I'm just not up for being hurt by you all over again, I can't put myself through all of that, I'm sorry."

She just shrugged and responded "I'm sorry I hurt you Tony, but I wasn't ready and well you know my dad didn't exactly didn't approve of you, but I did want to talk to you properly and end it differently, he just persuaded me that it was best to do it in the way that we did do it in. Then I thought it was such a big mistake that you were making, leaving Baltimore PD and ending your friendship with Danny." Just as he's about to interrupt her, she puts her hand up and then carries on "Look I know you didn't say anything about what had happened there, but I found out the truth about things before it had even hit the press with you finding his body, solving the case and finding out that he'd been dragged into it by your boss and that they were both dirty cops, I worked it out that that was the reason why you wanted to get out of Baltimore and came to join Gibbs here, and I can see that you are much happier here, I mean this has been the longest period of time that you have spent anywhere."

They then fall into silence again, then just as she finishes up what she's doing she breaks the silence again by saying "I can also see that you're more happy and settled here, if you've not started anything new, then you should tell them how you feel or if you have done, then I wish you luck with him or her."

"Mmm?"

She answers "Look I know that you've always been the eternal flirt, even with the two of us together, and yes I could see that it was mostly the women that you flirted with, but I know you have had a thing for men too. How many times did I see it when we were together, it was countless times Tony, even if you did really try hard not to make it obvious that you wanted to openly flirt back whenever a man that had caught your eye flirted with you. I want you to be happy and it's about time that you did settle down, if that's what you want."

"Let's just say that there is someone, and we have only just begun something, so I don't want to say anything more than that to you."

She just gives him a soft kiss on his cheek and says "Then I hope that you both will be very happy together."

And with that she walks out of the store leaving him alone, but also leaving him feeling like a weight has been pulled off of his shoulders, because the two of them have now had a proper goodbye finally and he can now look to his future.

Even though he was feeling that bit more light hearted knowing what he did now about her, he was also still feeling slightly pissed at Gibbs for putting him into that position, even if he could in some ways understand it, as he guessed that perhaps he was only doing it to make sure that the coast was clear for the both of them. He also guessed that Gibbs would moist probably be at home by now, so he decided that he would head there, but first he would need to go back to his apartment and get a go bag together with some more stuff and clothes to take to Gibbs. As he got into the car and drove off in the direction of his apartment, he found himself thinking how strange it felt to be thinking of Gibbs home and the man himself being home to Tony now, but he was very much home.

As he went into his apartment, he was quite surprised to be struck instantly by that familiar smell of Old Spice and sawdust, then as he looked up it was to see a very familiar figure sitting there on the sofa, but sitting there in a very suggestive way. So he looked back at him with a mischievous look on face as he said "Worried that I wouldn't come back here alone or something?"

As Gibbs got up from his seat and stalked over to him he answered "Nope wasn't afraid of that, just wanted to make sure that you weren't mad at me." Once he was close enough, he then took Tony into a kiss.

Once they broke apart Tony laid his hands on Gibbs chest, as he said "Yes I was pissed at you, but now I understand why you did it, it gave us a chance to finally end it all. She admitted that when she wanted to meet up at Christmas all she wanted to use me for was to write that story she was in the middle of doing, and also have me as a contact for any other cases that may involve Navy or Marines, as well as making an attempt at another relationship between the two of us, but I honestly have the feeling that all she wanted from me for that was just to be there as a father for her son, because she doesn't want to be a single mom on her own. I told her that I wasn't interested and I hope that she gets the message; well I suppose we'll just have to see what happens when the next big story hits. So I thought that I would just come back here and get some stuff, before I came home to you, but here you are."

"Well I did want to make sure that you were ok and that you were going to come back home."

Tony answered "You won't get rid of me that easy, yes if I had had the courage to have gone into that café at Christmas, then perhaps I may have been tempted, and yes she has been making attempts at tempting me throughout all of this, by wearing my favourite perfume and things, but the only thing that seems to be tempting me at the moment is the smell of Old Spice and sawdust." And just to prove his point, he moves his hands down to grip Gibbs hips, as he then lowers his head to then sniff his neck, making Gibbs laugh, who then pushes him lightly in the direction of his bedroom as he says "Go get your stuff, before I can't resist not having you here and right now."

As he gets to the doorway of his bedroom and just as he opens the door, he turns and says "Well we could always stay here if you want too."

Gibbs turns to him and says "I'd much rather be at home in a proper bed, not that thing that you call a bed DiNozzo."

With a smile on his face he then opens the door a bit wider and says "Ok, as long as you're sure?" Before he steps backwards into the room, removing his tie and running his hand rather seductively over the top of his buttoned up shirt, and then chucking off his suit jacket onto the chair that is in the corner of the room, as he hears a growl coming from where Gibbs is standing there watching him, he knows that he starting to get to him, so he begins to up the ante even more by beginning to undo each button very slowly on his shirt. Just as he gets to the last button, his hands move to belt buckle and once he pulls it out of the hooks and chucks that to join everything so far on the chair, he palms his growing hardness through his trousers, making himself groan.

The next thing he knows is Gibbs coming at him in a rush and he ends up on the edge of the new large double bed that he had bought, flat on his back, with his legs hanging off the edge, after being taken in a rather brutal kiss, he felt the button on his trousers being undone and then the zipper, leading to him then moving so that they could stripped off of him, leaving him then just in his boxers.

After that Gibbs got off of him and began to strip himself of his clothes, as he then turned and growled at Tony in one of his most authoritative voices "Lay in the middle of the bed." Which sent Tony scrambling to do it.

Once he was like Tony and was just in his own boxers, he climbed onto the bed, straddling him, as he then lightly ran his fingers up Tony's chest, watching the goose bumps that he left in their wake, as well as the way that each of the tiny muscles jumped and twitched under the touch.

When he reached his shoulders, he bent down to initiate a heated kiss, while he bought one of his hands down to find one of Tony's nipples, that he rolled in his fingers, making him moan into the kiss, and arching into the touch. Before he began to tease Tony relentlessly by touching, nipping and kissing him in all the hotspots that he had discovered in those first few days of them being together, working towards getting him to the point where he would begin to beg for more, although as it started to get close to that moment he could tell that Tony was really trying to fight it and try to last as long as he possibly could, so he decided to up the ante slightly as he went down the centre of that happy trail down to his hardness, where he lightly blew on the tip, before taking Tony's cock into his mouth, which elicited an "Oh god!" out of Tony's mouth, and after a few passes up and down with his mouth, the begging began with "Please Jethro, I need you, please don't make me come like this." So with that he let go with his mouth and reached across to get the lube from the nightstand drawer, as he put some onto his fingers and began to prepare Tony for his girth, but still teasing him with taking him right to the edge and only stopping as the begging started to get just that little bit too much.

As he entered Tony very slowly, pausing once he was completely seated inside, until he heard the little sigh that passed from Tony's lips, letting him know that he was ready for him to start moving, and very soon all the room was filled with was their grunts and groans of pleasure, before Tony's legs went round his waist as they were both beginning to reach their orgasms, both coming within minutes of one another with their names on their lips.

While Tony was still slightly our of things, Gibbs went into the bathroom and after giving himself a clean up, he then took one out and cleaned Tony up, before going back to put the wash cloth into the laundry basket, before he then climbed back into bed again, covering the two of them up and getting snuggled up together, as sleep finally took the both of them.

As Gibbs woke up a little while later, it was to sense that he had some eyes on him and as he opened his own very slowly, it was find green eyes looking directly into his own, he reached up to pull Tony down into a gentle, loving kiss. When they broke apart he said "So when did you get this new bed?"

Tony answers "Well… I was going to be sticking to my rule of never bringing anyone home, but then after a night out with McGee and Abby something came up about the old bed and that if I didn't have something more to offer someone if I did ever want to settle down, then they would be put off and I wouldn't see a person for dust if I didn't at least have something more than a single bed to offer them, which got me thinking. Then when me and McGee were interviewing that wife from the case a few weeks ago I noticed this place nearby her house that custom made beds, so I went and checked them out and this ended up being the result of that. I've only had it a couple of weeks now, and I can honestly say that you are the only person to share this bed with me and you will only ever be the only man or woman that will sleep with me here."

The two of them then kiss once again, before they get rudely interrupted by Tony's stomach rumbling first with hunger, shortly followed by Gibbs, so with that Tony says "Ok I think that might call for some food, so want me to cook or would you like something else?" Seeing the look in Gibbs eyes he chuckles and then adds "Oh no you don't, we need to eat, so behave yourself, go grab a shower and I'll see what I can rustle up, perhaps if you're lucky there can be much more later on marine."

So with that as Tony jumped out of bed and went to the drawer and got some boxers out, bending down to put them on, Gibbs got out of bed and as he made his way passed Tony to go into the bathroom, he slapped Tony's ass, which got an indignant "Hey!" in reply to it, before he was chased the rest of the way into the bathroom and once again food was forgotten about again, while the two of them had some fun in the shower together.

A/N: Just a short chapter for this time, but I still hope that you enjoy it! I did also want to add Secrets to the mix as it

felt right to include it & also get the whole 'Wendy' situation out of the way, even if I have told it in a slightly different way!
