Chapter Four
The Challenge
Deeks shifted uncomfortably in the creamy leather of his driving seat. His eyes flickered to Kensi and back repeatedly. She seemed ill at ease about their 'cover kiss'.
They were currently heading back to their villa, where they would await further instructions or news from the team.
Cold air blasted at their faces as they admired the Caribbean scenery that was nothing but a haze of vibrant colours, they sped down winding roads that passed the cerulean sea, there were a millions sparkles on the water as the sun began to sink behind horizon. Purples, pink and orange began to streak the sky, it was beautiful.
The car pulled up to the house, still a little piece of heaven that most could not even dream of.
As they entered the house, Kensi rushed off for a shower and Deeks caught up with Sam and Callen who arrived not long after.
"Eric managed to find out where the others are staying and Sam and I have planted cameras outside of the houses, they'll be monitored overnight" Callen explained in the living room.
Deeks was stood as well, listening intently.
"Great, god only knows what he's gonna auction off tomorrow" Deeks said in disgust.
"Whatever it is, we will intercept the buyer, the FBI is already all over Vasili" Callen assured Deeks.
The pair left a few minutes later leaving Deeks with the opportunity to think about how he was gonna ask Kensi about the cover kiss.
For ten minutes he paced the living room deciding the best angle, but he was out of time. Kensi was out of the shower, it was now or never in his mind.
He strode from the living room like a man on a mission, down the hall to Kensi's door and knocked twice, then waited for an answer.
"Yeah" Her voice called back.
Deeks opened the door.
Kensi was wrapped up in a thin robe (It was too humid for the fluffy one). Her hair was wet and brushed out of her face and her mismatched eyes watched Deeks expectantly.
His breath caught in his throat for a split second, but he recovered and found his voice.
"Sam and Callen have planted cameras outside the houses of the other dealers, they're gonna be monitored overnight" Deeks explained. Kensi nodded seriously.
"Good, who knows what'll happen if we take our eyes off of them"
There was a brief silence in which Deeks made the ultimate decision.
"I was wondering if you wanted to out for dinner, a little off the case bonding" Deeks proposed nervously. Kensi raised her brow a fraction before composing herself.
"Were in the middle of the case, we can't risk our covers being blown" Kensi countered, her curiosity peaking.
"Okay we'll eat in, as it were" Deeks grinned, his familiar cheeky smile.
Kensi hesitated, deciding…
"C'mon, how long has it been since we've actually bonded? I'll cook, you eat, we'll open some beers and I'll even let you put on Pretty in Pink if you want" Deeks rushed, in his mind it was the best offer he could make.
But he had her at beers.
"Okay, thanks" Kensi smiled, flattered inside that Deeks was actually going to cook for her.
"Alrighty then, you get dressed, I'll get cooking" He turned and closed the door as he went.
Dammit.
Kensi stood at the foot of her bed staring at two outfits. One consisted of a Tank top and Jeans, nothing special but this wasn't a date, was it? The other outfit was courtesy of Hetty again, a simple salmon coloured dress. Did she want to impress Deeks or not?
In the end she was left with only one option.
Eenie, meenie, minee, mo.
Jeans and Tank top it was.
She slipped into them and applied her usual amount of make-up.
Once out of her bedroom, the smell of Spaghetti sauce and garlic bread made her mouth water and stomach growl.
Deeks was cooking away in the kitchen, emptying the water the spaghetti had been sitting in, into the sink. The steam rose into the air and twisted and twirled.
"This smells delicious" Kensi complimented, smiling at Deeks as she entered. Deeks chuckled.
"I don't know how you're hungry after all that food" Deeks joked. He was now adding spaghetti to the two plates and adding the sauce.
"A girls gotta eat" Kensi retorted.
Deeks grabbed both plates and took them over to the small circle table where the place mats were laid and the candle was ready to be lit.
Kensi sat and watched patiently as Deeks grabbed the two beer bottles and came back, he handed one to Kensi. Their pinkies grazing, sparks flying in both of their hearts.
Deeks took a lighter the counter and lit the candle in between them.
Kensi grinned broadly at Deeks who was flustered in the face and apparently a very romantic man at heart.
"This looks delicious" Kensi said, picking up her fork she began to twist the spaghetti around.
"Well, bon appetite"
They ate in silence for a few minutes, both revelling in the flavour of the food.
"So what was with the kiss earlier?" Deeks blurted out in the middle of Kensi taking a swig from her beer. She choked for a moment then cleared her lungs.
"What? The cover kiss?" She asked blissfully ignorant. Deeks narrowed his eyes, that was not going to make the cut this time.
"Yeah, it was…" Incredible, intense, magical
"Apart of our cover" Kensi cut in, truly shovelling her food into her mouth now, desperate to clear the plate and leave.
"What? You're not serious, there was way too much heat for it be just a cover Kens, c'mon" He almost begged for an explanation or an admittance.
"Can we just eat?" Kensi asked through a mouthful of food.
Deeks sighed and nodded glumly.
Deeks couldn't leave it at that…
"Did you enjoy it?" He teased his usual self coming through. Kensi thought of the time when he felt her ass undercover, she'd asked him that.
Kensi laughed as she picked up her beer, and shook her head.
"No?" Deeks asked raising his brows, he wasn't buying it.
Kensi continued to ignore him.
"You did didn't you? It's okay if you did, I am famous for my kissing skills if I do say so myself" Deeks admitted proudly. Kensi scoffed around her beer.
"What was that supposed to mean?" Deeks demanded, mildly insulted.
"Nothing, I just-"
"What?"
"It-"
"It was what?"
"Not the best kiss I've ever had" Kensi admitted. Secretly, she was winding him up even further.
"You're totally lying, you enjoyed it so much that you won't even admit how good it was" Deeks teased taking a mouthful of spaghetti
"Oh! So not true"
There banter was at play, again.
"Really? Prove it" Deeks challenged.
"Pfft, how?" Kensi asked getting annoyed.
Deeks had a brilliant idea.
"It was only one kiss, I wasn't prepared for it and neither were you, so, let's do it again, right here, right now. The tie breaker, the decision maker, the last chance for the Marty Deeks kiss of life" Deeks said playfully but very much serious.
"Kiss of life? See I was thinking more like kiss of death" Kensi retorted.
"Ouch, that hurt, come on, can't handle it?" Deeks taunted. Kensi watched him with pursed lips, she'd been waiting for the last two years for a victory over Deeks, and perhaps this was it.
"Okay" Kensi answered shortly.
Deeks's face fell in shock.
She was serious
"What?" he asked
"Lets it do it, right here, right now" She teased, throwing his words back in his face.
She stood abruptly and waited for Deeks to follow her movement. He stared bewildered at her.
"C'mon Deeks, can't handle it?"
The incentive of a serious challenge brought Deeks to his feet and flying at Kensi. He stood and pulled Kensi's face to his.
Their lips met in a moment that was pure challenge and banter, but it turned steamy and heated in a matter of seconds.
Deeks's hands caressed her face, her skin smooth and silky.
Neither wanted to break apart, when they did they both gulped the air and went back in for more. Without breaking their lips apart, Deeks bent down and swooped Kensi up into his arms, carrying her down the hall to his bedroom.
He kicked the door open and entered the darkness, the moonlight streamed through his window onto his bed sheets. He placed her in the middle and finally broke apart to remove his button down shirt. His chiselled chest and upper body made Kensi's pupils dilate in hunger.
He came back to her and re-joined their lips, they couldn't get enough. Deeks' hands went to the bottom of Kensi's shirt, she complied and let him pull it over her head, she was beautiful to him.
The frantic buzz in the back of Kensi's pocket made both groan in annoyance, Deeks rolled off of the top of Kensi and laid next to her, panting whilst she answered her phone.
"This is Kensi" She answered, panting slightly as well.
Deeks waited whilst she 'ummmd' to the person calling, he got up and knelt on the bed, trailing sloppy kisses up her tan back and to her neck, where he pulled the hair out of the way and devoured her. She shuddered with pleasure but tried to focus through the haze of euphoria.
"Okay, we'll meet you there" Kensi answered, she ended her call and through the phone onto the carpeted floor. Deeks's hands were everywhere.
"Deeks" Kensi breathed.
"Hmmmm" He answered as her stroked up her arms
"We gotta go" Kensi replied, trying to pull away.
"Why?" He almost whined.
"Vasili is on the move and at meet, we need to go" Kensi finally pulled away and grabbed her shirt from the floor and pulled it over her head.
Deeks groaned and watched her leave the room
"I'll get the car started" She called back.
