A/N: So, I know I said it was a two-shot…but I lied. It's the good kinda lie though! This is gonna be it for this story (not lying, swearsies), but I may post some drabbles in this 'verse in the future.

A/N2: Sorry guys, I had to take this down to do a little rewrite. I noticed a continuity issue in my first version of this chapter. I was just gonna fix it… then things got out of hand and I rewrote like the entire last half (now 2/3) of the chapter… I like it better now, and I hope you guys do too!

The couple can hear Monty's excited yelping and whimpering when they pull into Deeks's parking spot. Neither of them had stopped grinning since they left the taco truck.

"Jeez, Mont. I haven't been gone for that long!" Deeks calls inside while he unlocks the door.

"He's not excited to see you. I haven't been by in a few days." She instructs her love. "You missed your mama, didn't you my fluffy boy!" she coos at Monty, who is greeting her with unbridled excitement.

"I thought I was your fluffy boy?" Deeks says with mock indignation. He's secretly ecstatic that Kensi considers herself Monty's mom.

"Nah, you're my Shaggy boy." Kensi teases with a wink.

"That's my girl!" he answers, his voice dripping with love and delight.

"Truth." she replies as they lose themselves looking into each other's eyes. She thinks she's gonna like being his girl. She leans in and steals a chaste kiss. "Food. Now."

"Your wish is my command." And Deeks pulls a couple plates out of the cabinet for them to eat over. He does not like mess, even if Monty would just vacuum up the crumbs. He turns around and sees Kensi already half a taco down sitting on the couch while fending off Monty's attempts to beg. "I love you"

Kensi looks up at him questioningly, wondering where that came from.

"Sorry. I just really like getting to say it, ya know? I can just tell you. It feels so fraking awesome!"

She smiles at him, telling him that yes, he's right. It's a huge relief. She feels lighter from her honesty, but his honesty, makes her feel like she's flying.

"That reminds me, do you wanna catch another episode of Battlestar Gallactica?"she asks, having caught his nerdy slip of the tongue.

"Any other night I'd say yes, but tonight…"

"tonight doesn't need more than us." She finishes his sentence.

"Yea"

They finish their food in blissful silence, even enjoying the noises the other makes while eating.

Full on tacos they fall back on the couch, basking in the warmth and comfort of the other's arms; if only for a moment.

"What do I smell like?" he asks, deep in thought.

Kensi rolls her eyes a little, but indulges him."You smell good."

"No Kens, I didn't mean, how do I smell, I'm asking you,… What do I smell like to you?"

His tone takes her aback. He just seems so serious. "I don't know Deeks…"

"Come on Kens"

"Alright…um..saltwater?"She looks at him, hoping that her answer was enough.

"I surf"

"yea"

"of course I smell like salt water. I mean just me."

Now Kensi is just starting to get irritated. "I don't know, I've just never really thought about it…"

"Well, what do you smell now?"

Kensi humors him. She turns her face into his chest and deeply breathes him in. Suddenly she isn't as tired as she'd been a moment ago. She can't name what he smells like, just that when she smells him she gets warm, from her toes to her cheeks and from her heart to her core. He smells like home…

Deeks interrupts Kensi's train of thought by gently bringing her face up to his. She sees that his typically playful light blue eyes were much darker now, and deadly serious. She feels herself build with excitement and yearning, but tries to calm herself. They have time.

Then, she feels his lips on hers and she can't help but get lost in him. It's not just his smell, his incessant babble, or even his uncanny ability to read her like a book. No, she is completely wrapped up in everything about him. From the scar on his big toe, that no one else knows about to the goofy grin he sports when he does something sweet or makes her laugh. It's every last things she knows about him.

Kensi buries herself deeper in the kiss, pushing her tongue past his lips to explore his mouth, lost in her yearning to taste him. Deeks takes the invitation and tentatively places a hand on her waist, under her blouse. He runs his hand gently up and down her side, savoring the moment. He's been looking forward to this night since the day he met her. Granted, he thought it would be a lot sooner…but, this way means so much more. This way is really so much better. Now he's gonna get way past the first date. No, he sees a lifetime of dates for them. Not that he'll share that with her. Not yet.

Kensi however, has no interest in taking her time. They could do that sometime when she doesn't need him so badly. She quickly removes his white v-neck. And he pulls his lips from hers to let out a snarky, "You want me so bad, you're using ninja powers" With a wink in one eye and a twinkle in the other. Kensi rolls her eyes and takes less than half a step back from him. She looks straight into his eyes, and he looks into hers full of mischief, he thinks.

"Marty Deeks, shut the fuck up…" She begins all serious, looking him in the eye, then in the sexiest most sultry tone she could muster, she leans into him and speaks into his ear, "and make love to me."

Marty is stunned for a second, but recovers quickly. He immediately moves his hands around her body. He entrenches one hand in her thick wavy hair and the other boldly reaches down to firmly cup her ass. She is surprised but excited by his touch and she uses the moment to almost thrust her body against his.

He moves his other hand down her body and cups her clothed breast on his way to pull her blouse over her head. His other hand moves from her ass for a moment while he makes quick work of her bra clasp. Her bra falls off and Marty moves his lips from her mouth and down her jawline. He continues trailing kisses along her neck, across her collarbone, and finally on her perfect chest. Kensi becomes completely consumed and lets out a strangled, "Baby, I need you." Deeks has never heard her use such a voice before, but is sure as hell he wants to hear it again and again. He loses all sense of control and growls while he picks up the woman he loves and takes her swiftly into his bedroom.

Their naked bodies lay tangled within his sheets as they bask in post-coital bliss.

"Marty?"

"Yes, snook ums?"

She makes a face at the nickname, but continues, "ice cream and fresh cut grass…You smell like ice cream and fresh cut grass…" she muses. Although she is still coming down from her high and semi-paralyzed, she could feel him grinning from ear to ear a few inches away from her. She pauses for a few minutes, just enjoying his presence when she realizes that she has a question of her own.

"Baby, when did you know?"

He widens his grin when he hears her call him baby. He also feels his body begin to rev up for round two. "That I love you?" he asks, verifying her question.

Kensi nods, and he replies, "Well, I knew I had feelings for you a long time ago, but the moment I knew I loved you wasn't that long ago. Do you remember when you brought that bridal magazine to work? You tried to pass off the couples quiz as a 'partner's survey'?" He snickers and she elbows him in the side. "Well, that day, I thought about how I'd answer those questions and how you would…and how much I wanted to live those answers with you. I guess I realized how deeply I wanted it to be us." She tries to resist the swells of joy and love his confession brought her. "What about you, sugarbear?"

"I guess it was when Agent Sneider died. Made me think about what I would have done if…if it had been you. I couldn't take it. I've lost partners before, but if I lost you…I realized I wouldn't recover. It made me face the depth of my feeling for you. But… I was still pretty scared. I am still pretty scared. Be patient with me?" She has so many reservations about being in a relationship.

"Always. We can do this, Kens." He says with sureness that she has never felt until now.

"I know, Marty. We're gonna be frackin' awesome." She beams at him and plants a kiss on her lovers swollen lips. Their warm bodies fall together and this time they go slow.
