Thanks again for the reviews. I know the chapter's short but I'm going away for a few days and I wanted to get at least one chapter up before I left.

Chapter 5

Whilst Abby was getting ready for bed, Gibbs had returned downstairs to get her milk and to get himself a much needed cup of coffee. By the time he had made a fresh pot and had a drunk at least one cup, he had been downstairs more than half an hour. Maybe he was creating delaying tactics so not to return to Abby so quickly, the longer he took, perhaps she'll be asleep by the time he got back to the bedroom. His gut was telling him that Abby was up to something, she had been given out mix signals all evening. One minute she was flirty excitable Abby that he loved and then she had turned into a raving banshee then back to being flirty and if he had read the signals right, a seductive Abby! Seductive Abby, maybe that was wishful thinking on his part but he did sense that she seemed to be a lot bolder with her flirting tonight.

Looking at his watch he saw it was already passed midnight, Abby must be asleep by now. Climbing the stairs silently, he looked through his bedroom door, Abby was curled on her side in the middle of his bed, her eyes closed in sleep and the tininess of smiles on her lips. She looked so beautiful. Gibbs had watched Abby sleep so many times before and he always thought that it was one of the most beautiful things that he had ever seen. Abby in sleep was the exact opposite to Abby awake, so calm and serene. Gibbs was always amazed how still she slept considering how much caffeine was running through her veins. He quietly entered the room and placed the glass of milk on the bedside table. As he turned to leave he noticed that Abby had rolled on to her back, her hair, no longer in pigtails, cascaded over the pillow and her mouth was slightly open as she gently snored.

Gibbs sat on the edge of the bed and leant his body over Abby so that he could clearly see her face as she slept. On impulse, he reached out and traced the outline of her face with one finger, her porcelain skin so smooth to the touch. He moved his finger to gently stroke her right cheek, the cheek he so often kissed; he had to suppress the urge to kiss it now. So lost in thought, he didn't realise that Abby had opened her eyes until it was too late.

"Gibbs" she murmured.

Gibbs tried to turn away but Abby grabbed his face between her hands and forced his head around to face her. "Look at me"

Gibb slowly lifted his head and gazed into Abby's eyes and what he saw there made him catch his breath. Love and desire shone back at him.

Abby let her fingers travel over Gibb's face, mapping every crease and contour in her mind. She gently pressed her injured finger against his lips and whispered, "Gibbs, please kiss my finger better".

Gibbs grinned and gently placed a kiss on the injured digit. He leant forward and with a voice full of lust whispered into Abby's ear "Do you need to be kissed anywhere else Abs?"

Sorry it's short but I don't know whether to stay T or change the rating to M for the next chapter. What do you think, please review 
