Chapter 6 – Taking Nothing For Granted

Abby laid back and spread her legs, Gibbs wasting no time before he settled between her thighs, lifting one of her knees up before he pushed inside her. He let out a low growl at her warmth, her body wet and still quivering from her first release. Their breath mingled in hungry open mouthed kisses as Gibbs slowly eased in deeper, Abby gasping into his mouth when he was completely buried.

"Promise me I'll never forget what this feels like," Abby moaned, her eyes closing and her back arching as she gave into the undeniable pleasure of Gibbs filling her.

Gibbs kissed his way down the side of her neck and across her shoulder, withdrawing almost all the way out of her before sliding back in. "You won't, I promise, Abbs."

Lifting her other knee, Abby pushed her hips up trying to encourage him to move. Her feet rested flat on the bed as she began to rub her body against his, the feel of his hot and throbbing hardness inside her making her frantic with need. She wanted to go slow, to make every moment seem endless, but even with already having an orgasm she was still desperate to let go with her body wrapped around him.

Slowly Gibbs started to rock on top of her, his arms stretched out on either side of her head. The force of his forearms gripping onto the top of the mattress squashed the pillow down underneath her, his shoulders and biceps tensed as he let his hips do all the maneuvering.

Abby's hands linked behind his neck as she looked up at him, Gibbs' hazy blue eyes locked onto her emerald ones, her breath catching at the intensity of love and desire she saw.

"Won't ever leave you, Abby."

"And I won't ever doubt you...ever."

Brushing his lips over hers, Gibbs rolled his hips, trying to give her even more stimulation as they continued to move agonizingly slow. All of Abby's senses were heightened to every touch, their kisses deep and sensual, leaving her gasping for air as the sheer erotic bliss of being joined with him burned through her.

She felt out of control but at the same time her ability to do anything other than thrust against Gibbs and flex her inner muscles around him had all but disintegrated. With each drive of his body against her Abby felt a wave of unrestrained lust flood through her veins, gathering in intensity as the ache in her belly got heavier. As much as she wanted him to keep her on the edge and prolong her orgasm, her hormones and the desperate need to let go wasn't going to allow it.

Gibbs moved his lips away from hers and down the side of her neck, Abby's fingernails scratching down his long back, which was covered with a fine sheen of sweat. She rubbed her fingers over the two small dimples just above his ass, making Gibbs' lower body jerk into her quickly several times before he slowed his rhythm again.

"I love it when you do that," she purred, her voice thick and throaty.

"I love it when you touch me there...among other places."

"God, I could do this all night," Abby moaned, her neck stretching out as Gibbs bit gently down on the skin just below her spider web tattoo. "But I need more...need harder, faster."

Every single cell in her body craved him, wanted Gibbs to give her the pleasure only he knew how. Abby truly believed there was simply no-one on the face of the planet that could make her feel as alive and loved, as Gibbs did.

"Not sure I could go all night, but I can give it a shot," he grinned, sealing his mouth over hers again.

"Tease," she smirked, pushing her hips up and nibbling on his bottom lip. "More."

Conceding to her Gibbs quickened his thrusts, eventually forced to tear his mouth away from Abby's when he found it difficult to breath. His hips pistoned forward into her, the bed banging against the wall and his groans getting louder as their bodies found a perfect rhythm. Abby met every one of his plunges inside her, her combined screams and moans piercing through the room as their heated bodies slid together.

It didn't take long for them both to reach their peaks, and when Abby arched underneath him, her lithe body fluttering and gripping onto him tightly, Gibbs' hips snapped against hers a final forceful time, both of them unrelenting in vocalizing their release.

Resting his head on Abby's chest Gibbs tried to keep the bulk of his weight off her, their bodies shuddering through the aftershocks together while drawing in deep breaths.

Abby kept her arms around his back, her hands lowering to his ass to keep Gibbs where he was on top of her. She knew he'd roll off her soon thinking he was too heavy, but she wasn't ready to lose the intimate contact with him yet. The whole situation seemed almost surreal considering what she'd witnessed hours ago. When she'd sped away from his house, Abby had fully expected to spend the night curled up alone on her couch.

When she felt his lips press gentle kisses on the swell of her breast she lifted a hand to thread her fingers through his soft silver hair, sighing at how right this felt...how close she felt to him right now.

"So I guess that was our first make-up sex?" Abby declared, her finger scraping through the short hair at the back of his neck.

"I guess it was," Gibbs chuckled, lifting his head to catch her gaze.

Abby couldn't help the satisfaction that came over her at the expression on Gibbs' face. He looked dazed, and from the pleased grin that was curving on the corner of his lips she could tell he was as enraptured by what had just happened as she was.

Her fingers guided his face up higher so she could trace the shape of his lips with her own, the memory of how they had felt on her heated flesh moments ago sending a shiver through the entire length of her body. "Not that I want to fight with you on a regular basis or anything but you can't deny that was a pretty amazing end result."

"Sure was."

Gibbs rolled off Abby and collapsed on the mattress beside her, pulling her still calming body into his side. He cupped her cheek with one hand, the other stroking gently through the soft tendrils of her tousled hair as she settled against him, her hand roaming across his chest.

For a while they remained silent, both of them caught up in trying to get back some of what they'd lost. Abby wasn't sure what else she could do to make it up to him, she'd said she was sorry and the way he'd just made love to her told her Gibbs didn't hold a grudge against her, but she still felt guilty that the solid foundation of years of trust had been dealt a serious blow.

"I'll never do it again, Jethro."

He raised an eyebrow at her, thinking back to what she'd just said. "I thought you said you enjoyed it."

"Not that, I definitely enjoyed every second of that," Abby blushed. "I mean I'll never run out on you again. It's just...I've never cared about someone the way I do you, I've never had something this serious and important."

She thought if she could make him understand how new she was to feeling this deeply for someone and how terrified she'd been that it was about to be taken away from her that Gibbs would realize her actions had been because she really did love him more than anything.

"It's okay, Abbs, I know some of this stuff is new to you but there's no need to explain, we work through everything together remember. It was just a little bump in the road...we'll be stronger for it now."

"I know, but I want you to know I don't take anything that you've said or done tonight for granted. I won't ever take you for granted."

Gibbs kissed her forehead, wrapping his arms around her and holding her tightly. "You never have done, Abby, and I understand why you felt like you had to get out of there, but it's not something you need to worry about okay? I'm not going anywhere, you're stuck with me."

"That's just the way I want it, and I'm sorry to say you're stuck with me too." She lifted her head to kiss the middle of his chest, resting her chin in the same spot and watching him.

It was so easy for her to lose herself in his eyes, their endless blue so consuming that they never failed to make her melt and render her speechless. They held so many expressions and so much emotion, a lot of the time his eyes conveyed the things he was unable to say with words.

"So what do you wanna do now?" Abby asked mischievously, her hand rubbing back and forth over his stomach.

"Well I was happy to keep going with what we were doing but someone got a little impatient," Gibbs teased.

"You wouldn't have been able to wait much longer either," she laughed, swatting him lightly on the chest.

"You could be right." Gibbs looked over to the clock on the bedside table before turning back to her. "It's only early anyway, plenty of time to try again."

"I like the way you think, Gibbs."

Sitting up Abby stretched her aching muscles, Gibbs taking advantage of her pose to run his rough hands over her back. If his body had been able he would've pulled her on top of him for round two now, but he was aware neither of them had had the opportunity to eat anything and if he was going to keep his stamina for the rest of the night he'd need some food.

"Want me to order some food? We could take a shower while we wait for it." Gibbs sat up beside her, looking to see if any of his clothes were on the floor, he had no idea where his phone was.

"Good idea."

Abby studied the masculine curves of his naked body as he stood up and walked towards the bedroom door, turning before he disappeared from view to look at her. There was no denying he was in incredible shape for his age, his toned shoulders and back tapering down to one hell of a fine ass. He still worked out and took pride in his body and Abby wasn't shy in telling him how impressive he looked and how much every male inch of him turned her on.

"What?" he grinned at her over his shoulder.

"Nothing, just admiring the view...one I plan on exploring a little more closely once we get into the shower."

Gibbs' grin widened, his eyes lighting up at her suggestion. Since they didn't have to be up early for work in the morning neither of them was willing to lose the opportunity to make the most of what they'd learnt tonight. They were both used to getting by on only a few hours sleep, and a lot of the time it was for less pleasurable reasons. Gibbs wasn't going to let himself or Abby dwell on the negatives, he wanted to indulge in what he hoped would be an even stronger and deeper bond than they had before.

There would always be rough patches no matter how close they were but he knew if they worked together like they had tonight they could get through them, and that their relationship could only get better with time.
