Gibbs is going to kill me.' I thought as I woke up from the doze I just had in the warm and comfortable arms of Ari Haswari. Closing my eyes I thought back on what had happened. I never expected this to happen, and I didn't exactly know what this is. I felt Ari's arms gently pull me closer against his naked body. "Gibbs is going to kill me." I whispered. Ari chuckled and kissed my hair, I could tell he wasn't to concerned. "Ari this is serious, after your sister and my team showed up I felt so guilty while everyone was yelling at Fornell I slipped out without telling anyone."

He suddenly sat straight up and stared at me. "You did not tell me that part." He informed me as if I didn't know. "I know, I had no idea this was going to happen." I snapped angrily as I sat up. "And what exactly is this?" He asked. "You know what this is! I didn't plan on making love to a man I have feelings for and that my boss wants dead for.." Checking the clock by the nightstand on the side I was sleeping on it read 12:50, if I left around 8 and dozed off for about 10 minutes I guessed. "For about 5 hours give or take a couple of minutes while my team is probably going nuts." I hissed angrily.

His face turned a cross between confused and hurt. "You regret it then?" He asked. I groaned. "No I don't regret it, despite my team probably killing me later. Do you?"

"No. I have feelings for you, but you already know that."

"And you know I have feelings for you."

"So the problem here is your team and Gibbs correct?"

"Yes. But Ari there most likely out there looking it's only a matter of time until they find us, and Ari I don't think Gibbs is going to like it if he finds us in a hotel room naked having sex."

He chuckled again. "I'm sure they won't figure it out for a while." He tells me before his lips come on mine. At the moment all I was about to say and my mind flew out the window and I gave into my desire.


About 12 minutes later we broke apart long enough to stare into each others eyes and my thoughts began to come back to me. I had to stop stop Ari and I from this before something happened. Gibbs! Yeah Gibbs. As Ari began to kiss me again I stopped him when my lips were millimeters apart. "Ari no wait stop." He froze. "Gibbs, he-he are you trying to get shot?" I demanded. He chuckled and crashed his lips with mine. With all the willpower in my body I managed to yank myself back, and suddenly I was out of breath.

"R-Really Ari. What will your s-si-ister th-think? What w-will my team think w-when they s-see us li-like this? We-we have to-to s-stop" I managed to choke out. He smiled and kissed me again just before he yanked back and I whimpered as my lips followed his. He chuckled again. "Oh yes Caitlin I see you are very determined to stop." He said teasingly. "Shut up!" I gasped. "I never said I wanted to stop!" I hiss angrily. "Ari you could get shot! Do you not care? After five years of being in the dark you suddenly come out find a women you like just to be shot by her overprotective father like boss!" He freezes and stares into my angry eyes.

"Caitlin.." He tries to reason with me.

"No don't even start Ari! You may be willing to risk that but I'm not about to risk the man that I really like!" I almost screamed. His facial expression turned kind and gentle as he gently ran his fingers through my hair.

"I-I am sorry Caitlin..I can not seem to.." It was clear he forgot too.

"Remember? Or have any thoughts at all?" I finished for him.

"Yes."

I smiled, at least I wasn't the only one. He smiled back. He got out of the bed, letting the sheets fall from his naked body and pulled me to what I assumed was a bathroom. As he flipped the lights on my assumption was right. He turned the shower nob before getting in and pulling me in too. I ex-haled as he massaged my shoulders from behind with soap and kissed my cheek. I smiled softly.


When we got out of the shower we dried ourselves off and put our clothes back on that were all over the floor. Once we were finished Ari picked up a phone by the nightstand and handed it to me. "Call Gibbs and tell him to meet us in the lobby of this hotel, if we meet him in this room he will most likely notice something if he lets me live long enough."

"You think he's going to notice we...made love?"

"Yes." He tells me as he rearranges the sheets on the bed to try and make it look like we didn't have sex.

"Okay." I mutter before I open the phone and dialed Gibbs number. He was not going to be happy.


Trying to keep my heart rate down I took deep breaths while Ari and I waited for Gibbs to arrive. He so angry on the phone. Leaning into Ari I sighed and hoped Gibbs wouldn't yank out a gun. Fornell, Gibbs, and the rest of the team walk quickly into the hotel lobby. They stared at us for a moment and for a second Ziva lookedliek she was going to throw her arms around Ari but she managed to keep herself together. He motioned for us to come and once we were outside he said calmly. "David, McGee, DiNozzo, and Fornell will ride in the first car back to NCIS and Ari and Kate will ride with me in the second." He motioned towards two cars. When Ari got in the back seat and I got in the front all hell broke lose.

"Kate what the hell were you thinking going off like that? Someone that was trying to kill you could have succeeded! And Ari I should shoot you right now! I may not happy about it but you've been assigned protection like Kate and I have to deal with you, and if any harm comes to you it'll be on my ass! As soon as we get back to NCIS I'm having a little chat with Ari when Ziva's done with him then I'm having a talk with Kate!" Before Ari or I could make a comment he slammed his foot on the gas pedal and suddenly old memories came to mind as he drove at his oh-my-god-I'm-gonna-throw-up speed, which was so much more faster than I remember it.

When we got to NCIS Ziva threw her arms around Ari and they had a small talk then Gibbs and the rest of the team but Ziva stayed behind. In-haling I decided this was a good time for a bathroom brake.

As I splashed my face with water I thought of Ari and what Tony said all those days ago.

"Maybe it's like falling in love in love it can happen" *he snapped his fingers* "like that." In love? Was I really in love with Ari? We had only been together a few hours. 'Wrong' The voice told me. 'You've know each other for years, and it can happen within seconds.' No. No. I tried to tell myself it was way to early for all of this. Way to early. 'You may not have been sleeping with him long, but you've now him long enough to love him.'

I couldn't admit I was in love, I just couldn't.

Suddenly the door opens and Ziva walks in. "Hello Caitlin." She said happily. "Hi Ziva. Call me Kate." I said as if I hadn't been thinking about being in love with her brother. She smiled. And I did my best to smile back. "You are in love with my brother." She said suddenly. I stared at her and acted as if I was confused. "What?" I asked. "Kate do not even try it, I am smarter than that and so are you."

"Ziva I don't know what your talking about I'm not in love with anyone." I said firmly holding my ground. She sighed. "Ari told me you were suborn but this is ridicules. Your lying about it to yourself Kate. Ari is in love with you too. Five years ago after he kidnapped you he confessed to me he had feelings for you and it is obvious you had feelings for him too, and still do. The team saw you and Ari at the hotel. Everyone can see it. Hell Kate, McGee can even see it. You were leaning into each other, you were acting like teenagers in love. You even had sex together!" The last sentence ought me off guard and I froze. She smiled.

"You had sex with my brother, then you showered together in an attempt to hide it. Next time be sure to dry your hair fully." I felt my hair it was a little damp. Hell.

"No." I said firmly. "Yes." She responded. "What then were you doing for 5 hours?" She asked cleverly.

"I-I-I can't say it." I whispered. Might as well tell Ziva, she would see right through my new lies and excuses anyway.

"You can not say your in love?" She asked gently. I nodded. Uh oh. I felt tears come into my eyes. "Kate?" Ziva asked gently. I turned my face away from hers. "Kate it is alright to cry, I have cried several times over Ari, I though I killed him. But Kate it's alright to cry, when I was a little girl being trained fro Mossad Eli would have me do horrible things and if I cried I was beaten. Eli told me crying was a sigh of weakness, he was wrong. After a few years here with family I have realized that, and I'm glad your back." I smiled at her and wiped my eyes.

"Thank you Ziva." She smiled at me and hugged me. "It will all workout I promise Kate, but promise me you'll tell Ari you love him." She begged. I nodded. "Alright I'll send you two to the safe house early and cover with you for the team." "Ziva..." She cut me off just as I was about to protest.

"You can make it up to me by not breaking my brothers heart." She tells me. "As long as he doesn't break mine." I say sadly. Her smile disappeared. "Kate he loves you, I promise you he would never hurt you." She whispered gently. I felt a wave of joy and relief hit me. "Okay." I said. She took my hand and led me into the bullpen were Ari was waiting. "The others are up in MTAC." Ari's beautiful voice informed us. "Okay your safe house is a house on Maple street in Alexandria. There are video activity cameras in every room but the bedroom and the bathrooms. Ari knows how to get there Kate." I nodded.

"Alright best of luck you to and Ari remember what I said." She warned him. He chuckled and nodded as he led me out of the bullpen. I gave him a questing look and he shrugged. "I'll tell you later." He said with a chuckle. I sighed and thought of how I would tell Ari I loved him.
