Their first night together in the same bed had been magnificent, remarkable and everything the pair had hoped for. Although they'd shared a bed many times before, this time they weren't undercover so they had the possibility of engaging in more adult activities. They didn't have sex, neither of them thought it was time, so instead they had spent the night caressing each other and spooning in the depths of Deeks' duvets.

Kensi had never felt so content as when she was cocooned in the warmth of Deeks muscular body, he had slept only in boxers and a thin t-shirt so she could feel every curve of him, every single one…

With Kensi sleeping only in her vest top and panties, Deeks could hardly control himself and many times throughout the night he had to hold back the urge to rip off her clothes and make love to her right there. But he knew that when that time came, the waiting would be worth it, and Kensi was the most important person in his life and he didn't want to ruin their relationship.

Deeks was the first to wake having had one of the best sleeps of his life. He awoke to the feel of Kensi snuggled against him, her legs intertwined with his and her hair spread across the pillows. He could smell the gentle fruity scent of her shampoo and the rich fragrance of her perfume, she was faced towards him and she was smiling as she slept. The sight of Kensi made him feel warm and fuzzy inside, a kind of feeling he only felt when she was around. If he could wake up every day to the prospect of her he would be the happiest man alive.

Although he did not want to get out of bed and leave the beauty that was Kensi alone in his bed, he knew he had to have a shower. Their hot and heavy activities last night had left him feeling less than fresh. He slowly crept out of his bed, carefully repositioning Kensi's legs away from his and stroking away the threads of hair that were covering her eyes. He made his way over to the bathroom and began to run himself a shower.

Deeks got in the shower, removing his boxers and shirt along the way, glad to be rid of them. Kensi had made him feel very restricted in his underwear, with her smooth skin, flawless breasts and long bronzed legs. He couldn't stop thinking about her and he anticipated the cold shower would wake him up and pull him from his dirty imaginings. As he washed himself he thought that the only thing that could make him happier at that moment was if Kensi was with him in the shower, lathering up her toned body. The images weren't helping to calm his body down.

Deeks was aroused from his dreams by the sound of the doorbell ringing. The only person it could have been at that time in the morning was Callen. In the heat of last night he had forgotten that he had agreed to lend Callen his suitcase for his trip to Iceland later that week. Callen had agreed to pick it up in the morning, which previously had not worried Deeks. He did not expect that Kensi would be in his house, nearly naked on his bed when Callen came around.

He jumped out of the shower, dried himself off quickly and threw on a dressing gown, anticipating that Callen wouldn't want to see him in just a towel.

"I'm coming" he shouted down the hallway as he rummaged around for his keys.

"Okay" came a muffled reply from the other side of the door.

Deeks found his keys, tucked under the sofa, perhaps knocked under there during the heavy make out session last night. Memories of the previous night flooded back to Deeks yet again. A smile lingered on his face as he unlocked the door for Callen. The man on the other side had a gruff expression, obviously irritated at having to wait outside Deeks' apartment. But he cheered up when Deeks opened the door in just a fluffy dressing gown, a grin appeared on his face as he snapped a picture of his colleague in his humorous attire, a perfect ploy for blackmail when they were back at work.

"Thank for the picture Deeks, it'll prove useful in the future. So, can I borrow that suitcase you promised? Or are you busy at the moment?" Callen chuckled as he looked at Deeks in his dressing gown.

"Ummm…"

"Ooh you are busy then. Have you got another visitor over Deeks? Did you get lucky last night?"

Deeks didn't know what to say, he didn't want to seem suspicious but he also didn't want to reveal that he had spent the night with Kensi. Deeks didn't know what Callen's reaction would be if he found out that just metres away Kensi was in Deeks' bed, covered in hickeys and nearly naked. So Deeks replied bluntly.

"Yes, I have a girl over here. Will you keep it quiet though, no-one else knows about it?"

Callen nodded, the expression in Deeks' voice sounded genuine and he was glad that his colleague had finally found someone. Deeks had seemed quite down over the past couple of months, Callen knew that Deeks working with Kensi every day, unable to reveal his feelings really tortured him.

"Who is it? Someone I know? Was it someone from the café yesterday?"

Deeks replied quickly as to not arouse suspicion.

"Yes it was, but you don't know her."

Deeks knew he wasn't lying completely as it was someone from the café yesterday, but Callen did know her and he knew her well. He decided to swerve the conversation away from his conquests to distract Callen.

"So, this suitcase you want to borrow, let me just go and get it from the spare bedroom."

Callen nodded in affirmation and leaned against the living room wall. Deeks made his way over to the corner bedroom to fetch the suitcase, hoping that Kensi wasn't awake yet.

Kensi had already woken in Deeks' bedroom, the light from the window blinding her eyes. She rolled over, hoping that Deeks was still beside her but instead there was just a dip in the bed where his body had been. She already missed the warmth of him pressed against her. She hadn't heard the doorbell, or Callen coming in so she assumed that Deeks was just making breakfast. Similarly to Deeks, she felt unclean in her vest from the day before, but she spotted one of Deeks' shirts strewn on the floor and decided that it would be fine to borrow.

She stripped off her vest and was left in just her underwear, a matching set that she'd bought a few months ago. The bra was a light blue, or cornflower blue as Deeks would call it, with a white lace trim it was fancy but not overly provocative considering her job. The panties were a similar design and she could tell that Deeks appreciated them last night as she stripped off her jeans, as a lump appeared in his throat just moments after.

She slipped on Deeks' shirt, it smelled like him, like the sea. It was a light white material which allowed the outline of her bra to peek through. Although Kensi was quite tall, the shirt was still rather large for her and it skimmed the top of her thighs, leaving an air of mystery for when she saw Deeks.

She decided to surprise Deeks, wherever he was, and greet him just wearing underwear and his shirt, buttoned just low enough so her bra peeked out of the top. She threw the duvet covers off the bed and planted her feet on the hard floor, she stretched, her muscles tight from the day before. She made her way out of the bedroom and into the living room, not aware that Callen was just metres away.

"Deeks" she called out as she walked out of his bedroom.

Little did she notice that behind her stood a very bemused Callen. Her face was turned away and her voice was hoarse and he simply saw the back of her, the backs of her long legs disappearing into Deeks' shirt and her messed hair that flowed down over her shoulders. He noticed a small tattoo on the woman's ankle, a tattoo of a butterfly. He was impressed with Deeks' new girlfriend. She continued to walk from the main bedroom across to the spare bedroom next door where she could hear someone rummaging. She pushed open the bedroom door, still unaware of Callen stood the other side of the living room.

She saw Deeks sat on the floor, a suitcase in each hand. He looked up at her, thinking that she was Callen so he was surprised when he saw Kensi, dressed in only his shirt.

"What are you doing Kensi?" was the first thing that came out of his mouth.

This was not the reaction that Kensi had been hoping for. She didn't understand his expression.

"What do you mean!" asked Kensi firmly, annoyed that Deeks didn't seem happy with her.

"Did you not see Callen in the living room?"

"Callen? Callen is here? Oh crap." replied Kensi, realising that he could have recognised her.

"Yes, he's just out there. I bet he recognised you. Did you not see him?"

"No I didn't, I just woke up and I didn't hear him come in. Why is he here?"

"He came to borrow a suitcase, I forgot to tell you he was coming over. When I agreed to it I never thought that in a million years that you'd be he, looking like…that…" he gestured to her lack of clothing.

Kensi cursed again, she hoped she hadn't ruin things for her and Deeks. Not even 24 hours into their relationship and perhaps Callen already knew about them as a couple.

"Quick go out there, give him the suitcase and make sure he didn't recognise me!"

"Good idea" replied Deeks.

He stood up, suitcase in hand and gave Kensi a quick kiss, he smiled as he felt her body through the thin material of his shirt. He exited the spare bedroom, ready to face the wrath of Callen.

Callen coughed as Deeks walked out. Deeks looked up at him, expecting him to say that he had recognised Kensi, but he did not.

"Congratulations on your new girl, she looks nice. I didn't recognise her from the café but I only managed to see the back of her. I'm glad you've found someone Deeks. So it hasn't worked out with you and Kensi then I guess. Too bad you two would've been good together, but well done on getting a girlfriend. She's hot as well man! "

Deeks smiled at Callen's comments, but they made him feel slightly uneasy, considering he was talking about Kensi. However, Deeks was glad that Callen had not recognised her, he wanted to keep their relationship secret, even for just a little while longer. He handed over the suitcase to his colleague with a grateful nod at Callen's compliments.

"Thank you Callen, she is amazing. My new girlfriend, she's beautiful and wonderful and for once I feel truly happy."

"Good for you, Deeks. I need this for my trip with Joelle next week, hopefully it'll make up for yesterday's incidents. Have a good Christmas, and enjoy the company!" Callen replied sincerely and smiled at Deeks and let himself out of the front door.

Deeks let out a long sigh as Callen left. He had not recognised Kensi. He had complimented him on his girlfriend. Their relationship had not been discovered. They were safe. They were safe for the next two weeks, safe to spend every single minute together, enjoying each other and enjoying the holidays.

Kensi had been standing by the door in the spare bedroom listening to the conversation. She had cheered silently when Callen had said that he had not recognised her. She had heard what Deeks had said and she felt her heart swell when Deeks said that she made him truly happy.

Once Kensi was sure that Callen had finally left she opened the bedroom door and looked straight at Deeks who was looking back at her. A large grin was plastered on his face, similar to her expression.

"I can't believe we got away with it." Kensi said.

Deeks nodded and laughed. Kensi smiled even wider and she began to walk over to Deeks. His smile grew as well as he finally saw how sexy Kensi looked in the morning light, her skin shone and she looked beautiful. Kensi saw a sultry flicker in Deeks' eyes as she got closer to him.

She didn't stop walking and as she reached him she jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist. Deeks reacted fast to her advances and he grabbed her waist and supported her against him. They kissed deeply and Deeks pulled Kensi closer to him. He began to walk over to the bedroom, still with Kensi's legs wrapped around his waist. He got to the bedroom and dropped her down on the bed. He looked at the beautiful woman below him, her hair was splayed across the sheets, she had a wide grin on her face and her tanned skin glowed in the light.

How he had managed to end up with Kensi, he did not know, but he was happy, so happy.
