A/N: I'm better in writing fluff so I end this OP in this chapter, I hope that's alright with you... Enjoy!
"So tell me, how long have you two been married? Seeing you greet each other you seem like newlyweds." Martinez asked. But neither Deeks nor Kensi were in the mood for small talk. All they wanted was get out of here as fast as possible.
"Mr. Martinez, to be honest I would rather get down to business. I'm not here to make small talk." Deeks answered his anger rising.
"Deeks, calm down. Don't make him angry or we'll lose him," came Callen's voice over the ear wig.
Kensi couldn't hear Callen talking for she didn't have an ear wig. But she sensed Deeks' emotions and started stroking her hand up and down his thigh to calm him down. It didn't really calm him down though. It only made him want to pull her in his lap and kiss her. So he made her stop by putting his free hand on top of hers. He looked into her eyes for a second hoping she wouldn't misunderstand his gesture. He wanted her to touch him everywhere but not now and not here, this was too distracting.
"Ah I see, you just want to be alone with her. Can't blame you for that." Deeks was grateful that Martinez didn't ask any further questions.
Kensi though felt more and more uncomfortable with each passing minute. Not only that Martinez didn't stop looking her up and down but also Deeks had stopped her hand from moving. Sure, he still had his arms around her shoulders but he wouldn't accept her comforting gesture and this made her sad. She blinked back the tears that threatened to form and tried to concentrate on the op.
"Okay, so how much you wanna pay for those babies," Martinez finally started the business talk.
"As you were probably told, money is not an issue but I would like to see them first." Deeks answered. He was finally playing by the book again. That's how they had planned this earlier.
"Sure, I have them in the back room. Why don't you follow me and your little Mrs. can stay here with my guys enjoying the club?" Deeks felt Kensi instantly tense up.
"I would prefer her to go with us. As well as the big man behind me." Deeks said nodding in Sam's direction.
"Sorry, but it's either you and me or you forget about the deal." Martinez voice held a warning tone all the friendly small talk forgotten.
"Mr. Blake," Sam interrupted their conversation. "It's okay, you go with him, I'll stay here and keep an eye on Sarah." They all knew it was their only choice to get him. They needed Martinez to show the weapons and say he wants to sell them before they could arrest him.
"Okay, I'll come with you… alone," Deeks answered Martinez' request.
They all stood up but before he left Deeks turned to Kensi.
"Honey, I'll be right back, okay?" Deeks leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her lips. Fighting the urge to deepen it he pulled back resting his forehead against hers for a moment.
"I'll be here when you come back, I promise," Kensi whispered. Her words held more meaning than anybody around them thought except maybe Sam.
Deeks and Martinez left the VIP section and Kensi let go of his hand reluctantly. She turned to Sam for reassurance and he nodded his head slightly. All they could now was waiting.
It didn't take very long though. Within a few minutes Deeks gave the signal word over the ear wig.
"Go through the door next to the bar, there's a corridor behind it, it's empty. Deeks is in the last room on the left," Eric gave the directions for Sam and Callen. The latter started moving immediately, making eye contact with Sam through the room, who needed to inform Kensi. He laid a hand on her shoulder and spoke softly yet determined: "Kens, move - now."
She stood up from her seat in a rush. "Excuse us for a second, we'll just head to the bar," Kensi told Martinez' men around her. Then she followed Sam trusting him to know where to go. They met Callen in the corridor, drew their weapons and started towards the room Eric had told them.
"We're on our way," Sam said.
"Federal agents, drop your guns, hands up," Callen yelled after Sam had kicked in the door to the room.
Martinez was so shocked he couldn't even protest. When he saw Kensi was among the agents he found his voice again.
"So I guess, you won't come to me when you get tired of your hubby here?"
That was the moment when Deeks couldn't take it anymore. He landed his fist directly in Martinez' face. Sam pulled them apart shoving Martinez in Callen's direction and made sure Deeks wouldn't start another round.
"Kensi, take your partner out of here," Callen ordered. "We take care of the rest in here."
She just nodded and moved over to Deeks. She touched his upper arm with one hand and took a hold of his hand with the other entwining their fingers.
"Come on Deeks," she said softly. He didn't say a word just followed her outside willingly.
The moment they stepped outside Deeks spun her around by their entwined hands and pulled her to his chest. She didn't resist, she just slung her arms around his waist under the suit jacket und laid her head on his chest. Both held on tight as if they would be pulled apart again when they separated. They just stood like this for a few moments neither of them saying a word.
Suddenly Deeks heard the sobs and felt Kensi shaking in his arms. He looked down at her face and saw the tear streaks. All the exhaustion and emotions she had bottled up during the past months came to the surface and she couldn't help the tears falling freely now.
"Ssh, it's okay… I got you," Deeks said soothingly. He strengthened his hold on her again and began stroking her hair in a calming motion.
"I… missed you… so much," she said between sobs.
"I'm here baby, don't worry."
They stood in silence again for a while simply holding onto each other and her sobs slowly faded and the tears dried.
She pulled away then slightly and looked into his worrying eyes. All the love she felt for him was reflected in his blue eyes.
"You really waited for me?" she asked disbelieving.
He touched his forehead to hers. "Of course I did."
She leaned up and softly touched his lips with her own. He reacted to the kiss immediately deepening it. They poured all the emotions they both felt into the kiss, it was passionate and sweet, hungry and soft, all combined in one kiss. But most of all it was filled with love.
They only parted when they heard the door behind them open and Sam and Callen came outside. They both smiled happily when they saw their teammates in a tight embrace. Kensi and Deeks parted but didn't lose all contact.
"If we had known who the female agent is that Granger send for support we wouldn't have argued with Hetty," Callen said as a greeting before he hugged Kensi.
Sam hugged her, too, lifting her off the floor in the tight embrace.
"Good to have you back Kens," he said.
"You didn't know I was coming?" Kensi asked them all.
"No, Hetty just told us Granger decided we need female support," Callen explained.
"Oh, sorry then," she started apologizing.
"Hey, hey, nothing to be sorry about, it's not your fault," Sam said.
"Are you okay?" Callen asked for she still looked a little shaken. She leaned into Deeks heavily.
"Yeah, I'm fine," she answered out of habit. All three men looked at her in disbelief. She smiled at their combined concern. "Okay, to be honest, I just want to go home, take a long bath and sleep in my own bed," she admitted.
"Usually, I would insist on debriefing in OSP but I guess you have an excuse tonight. If Hetty starts arguing… well, I don't really care right now" Callen stated. "Deeks, take her home and make sure she gets some rest."
"For once, I won't argue with this," Deeks said his humorous side finally coming back in place.
They parted ways but all four were more than happy that their team was finally complete again.
