Chapter Two

"Go and dance…" Gibbs whispered in Tony's ear, "But don't let anyone lay a hand on you…or…"

"Or you will kill them…I know, Boss." Tony rolled his eyes – he knew how possessive Gibbs was of him.

Gibbs grabbed the collar of Tony's shirt, and pulled him close, to plant a kiss firmly on Tony's lips, to show to other guys that Tony was his, and then let him go to go to the bar to get a drink.

Tony got through the crowd to the dance floor, and started to dance away…and he was dancing for his lover and sometimes master. He looked to the bar, and found Gibbs watching him.

Without losing his sight on Tony, Gibbs went to a booth, near the dance floor, and sat down with his drink – bourdon on the rocks – his favourite.

Gibbs watched Tony dancing with a few guys, and growled when a guy tried to put a hand on Tony, who swatted it away and pointed to him. The guy in question moved away, and Tony grinned at him.

'What a good boy.' Gibbs thought to himself.

He recognized a girl – with pigtails, and she was wearing a mini-skirt with a tight black t-shirt with funky cuffs. Gibbs looked to her neck, expecting to see a collar there, and found none. He was surprised, and wondered why.

The girl stood behind Tony and put both of her hands on his ass, and started to dance with him.

"Ya better get your hands off my ass…" Tony hissed.

"Why is that? Not a nice thing to say to your favourite girl…" a familiar voice teased.

Tony blinked, and turned to see Abby grinning at him.

"Ab..Abby? What the hell are you doing here?"

"Dancing with you, Tony!" Abby giggled. She knew that Gibbs was watching them, having seen him when she came to the dance floor.

Tony panicked, wondering what Gibbs would do, and looked over his shoulder, to find him raising an eyebrow, and then smiled.

Abby followed Tony's sight and found Gibbs sitting in the booth, watching.

Dance with us.

Gibbs shook his head.

I watch you both dance

Abby nodded, and turned to Tony, smiling sexily.

"What did you say?" Tony whispered in Abby's ear as they danced.

"I asked him to dance, but he said he wants to watch."

Tony smiled, so Gibbs liked to watch. He moved his hips towards Abby, and they danced as one.

Gibbs groaned, as he watched the two of them dancing, their hips close to each other, and Abby's hands on Tony's, and his around Abby's shoulders.

He drank the rest of his drink in one gulp. Gibbs signalled for Abby's attention.

Upstairs – private room – follow me

OK

Abby turned to Tony, took his hand off her shoulder and pulled him off the dance floor.

"Where are we going?" Tony asked as he looked around for Gibbs, only to find him gone.

"Upstairs – Boss-man wants us."

Tony gulped, and wondered what would happen.

* * * * *

The three of them stood still in one of the private rooms, in silence, wondering what to do, where to go next.

Then Abby walked over to Gibbs and punched, playfully, on Gibbs' arm.

"Why didn't you tell me!"

Before Gibbs could answer, Abby got excited.

"I knew it! I knew you two would get together!"

"Huh?" both the men said, stunned.

"It is obvious! You two have been dancing around each other for years and years!" Abby rolled her eyes, and waved her hands.

"So when did it start?" Abby asked, perhaps too eagerly, "And don't leave any details out!"

Abby sat on the table, and crossed her arms as she waited for either Gibbs or Tony to answer.

Tony locked eyes with Gibbs, silently conversing with each other, and finally Tony shrugged, telling him that it was up to him.

Gibbs nodded, and turned to Abby.

"Before I tell you, this does not leave the room – ever!"

Abby began to protest, she wanted to tell Ziva but Gibbs waved a finger in front of her, and Abby got quiet, knowing the serious look Gibbs gave.

"All right, I will keep quiet..but as long as you don't leave any details out!"

Gibbs chuckled.

"OK, we got together a few months ago…"

*FLASHBACK*

Gibbs was in the basement, working on his boat, when he heard someone coming down the stairs. He knew it was someone from the team, and looked up to see Tony sitting on one of the steps, looking grumpy.

"Hey, DiNozzo."

"Hey…" Tony responded, sombrely.

Gibbs was surprised to hear Tony sound like that, and his heart twisted. He walked over to Tony, and then sat down beside him.

"What's wrong, boy?"

"Nothing…" Tony sighed.

"DiNozzo! Tell me or I will get it out of you the hard way!" Gibbs growled.

Tony knew that Gibbs was serious, and if he was honest, he wanted Gibbs to make him tell him.

"Boss, I'm in trouble..."

Gibbs' eyes got wide, and there was a choke in his throat. DiNozzo was in trouble – his boy…and shook his head…no he wasn't his boy.

"What kind of trouble?"

"The love kind."

Gibbs calmed down…it was only girl trouble.

"OK, what've you done wrong this time?"

"Hey! Why do you always think it's me who is in the wrong this time?" Tony turned to Gibbs.

Gibbs rolled his eyes, and gestured a hand, "Well?"

Tony looked down, and cleared his throat, he was about to tell Gibbs something that he wanted to keep secret but after Gibbs went to Mexico, he knew that he had to tell him the truth about his feelings. When Gibbs came back from Mexico, he planned to tell him, but Gibbs was a different man.

Till today, when Tony thought he lost Gibbs in an explosion, only to find him standing in front of the building as it exploded. He knew then, that he had to tell him.

"I – I need to tell you something…" Tony said, and he looked up.

"I'm in love – with you."

Gibbs couldn't believe the words he heard coming out of Tony's mouth. How long he has been waiting for him to say these words? Hell, it has been a long time.

Gibbs took Tony's face in his hands, and leaned forward to kiss him softly for the very first time.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

"Wow…that's hot!" Abby giggled.

Gibbs raised an eyebrow, while Tony chuckled.

"Typical girl!"

"Don't blame me, " Abby put her hands up, "And besides I'm here with two of my favourite guys…"

"So, Abby, your turn to answer – why did you follow us?"

Abby and Tony looked at Gibbs, in shock. Abby didn't realize that Gibbs knew she was following them from the labs. Damn, she had to practice to stay more hidden next time!

Abby got off the table, and began to pace up and down the room, wondering what to say, as Tony turned to Gibbs.

"What do you mean? She was following us?"

"Yep, she was…in fact, Abby was here the other day…" Gibbs answered, quietly and Tony went pale, and still.

Abby heard Gibbs telling Tony that she was here, when she saw Gibbs and Tony coming down the stairs. She thought they never saw her, but apparently, Gibbs did.

"OK, so why were you both here? Are you both kinky?" Abby teased, trying to avoid Gibbs' question.

Gibbs shot a dangerous look to Abby but Tony put a hand on Gibbs' shoulder.

"It's okay…she needs to know why."

Gibbs turned to Tony and asked him if he was sure. Tony nodded.

"Besides you, Abby knows about my past…" and suddenly it was clear to Gibbs as to why that Tony kept going down to the lab to see Abby quite often over the years. Suddenly he felt a pang of jealousy and wondered if they have been together intimately.

Tony could read Gibbs like a book, and chuckled.

"Don't worry, Boss…we are best friends."

Gibbs felt relief coming through his body. Abby smiled as she watched the interactions between her two favourite guys. She knew that Tony assured his older lover that they were not together.

Tony turned to Abby.

"That day when I came here was my first time. I needed an outlet after that tough case we had – the one where – well you know…"

Abby knew which case Tony was talking about, and nodded, slightly.

"Anyway, I asked for a whipping."

Abby put a hand over her mouth and gasped. She knew how painful a whipping was, having gone through it – but it was non-consent.

"I know, you have…" Gibbs stepped forward, and Abby shot daggers to Gibbs, her anger beginning to rise inside her, till Tony came to Abby's side and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Relax, Vampire-girl…" using one of the nicknames Tony had for Abby, "I asked for it – I gave my consent."

Abby calmed down at once, hearing that Tony has given his consent. That was a completely different story now.

"Did it work?" Abby asked, quietly.

Tony nodded, and looked up to Gibbs, smiling and mouthing a thank you.

"That's alright then!" Abby put her arms wrapped around Tony's neck.

Tony chuckled, and put his arms around Abby.

Gibbs smiled at the sight, he knew how much it took for Tony to tell Abby. He wasn't too surprised to know that Abby knew about Tony's past, the beatings he had to suffer at the hand of his father.

Then Gibbs cleared his throat, "You still haven't answered my question, Abby. Why did you follow us?"

Damnit, Abby thought to herself, she hoped Gibbs would forget the question he asked earlier, but then it would have not been like Gibbs to forget.

Abby pulled herself away from Tony's and looked at them.

Abby took in a sharp deep breath, and then she spoke the words:

"I'm in love with you both."
