Chapter 2

As soon as she walks inside the bullpen, some of her confidence seems to vanish.

The idea of trying as hard as she can to seduce Callen seems like a good one and it's still there, in her mind, but the fact that she's currently limping might undermine her confidence (and her sexiness).

Deeks follows her inside and sits on his desk after the usual greetings. She does the same but feels Callen's eyes on her. Not knowing why he's staring at her, she doesn't say a thing nor does she look up.

She just sits there, ignoring the fact that the main man in her dreams is looking at her.

It doesn't take him long to do something, though. Callen rolls his chair next to her and gives her a soft smile.

"How's your foot?"

That's not exactly what she wants from him.

She doesn't want him to focus his attention on her injury. She wants him to focus on her curves because her foot won't help her when it comes to have her wicked way with him. She knows she could just tell him how she feels but that wouldn't be any fun.

And she's not sure if she has that much courage in her to just come out and admit something like that. It takes some balls to walk up to a coworker and tell him that she has fantasies that involve the two of them, a bathtub and no clothes whatsoever.

So she just shrugs and gives him what she hopes it's a reassuring smile. "I'm okay."

Deeks jumps in and she's not sure why but she has the feeling he's trying to be her wingman on this one. "Her brain is programmed to give that answer when anyone asks her anything about a hurt body part."

And he winks at her. Yep, he's being her wingman and she's not sure if she should punch him when she catches him alone or hug him and thank him. Callen turns to her, not giving up.

"You're limping."

And she knows there is no escaping this. Maybe she can take advantage of the situation and make it a part of her plan to seduce Callen, somehow.

She just needs to think about how to use her very swollen ankle to seduce a man.

"It hurts a bit when I set the whole foot on the ground."

Callen nods and she sees Deeks and Sam smirking. She's not sure if Deeks told Sam or if it's that obvious but she doesn't really care either way.

"Is it bruised?"

The concern showed by the team leader is not something out of ordinary. He worries about everyone on the team but everyone knows it's different with her. It's not just because she's the only girl on the team.

No, they know she can do her job as well as the guys.

It's because she only admits that she's hurt if there's blood coming out of somewhere it's not supposed to come out.

And that worries everyone.

The fact that she never admits any kind of pain makes them all be extra-cautious whenever she's injured. Callen and Sam have been the ones to drive her to the emergency room in the middle of the night more than once because she only realized she couldn't handle whatever injury she had after she was home and unable to sleep.

Kensi shakes her head. "It's just a bit swollen and sore."

Callen nods. "Let me see."

She leans down and pulls the bottom of her pants a bit up to allow him to see her ankle.

It's only when she looks up that she notices his eyes are not focused on her ankle but on the cleavage she showed him when she leaned down. She resists the urge to smirk and shows him her ankle.

He tears his eyes away from her chest and looks at her swollen ankle before getting up.

Kensi frowns but he comes back with ice and sits on the chair once again. He grabs her leg gently and puts it on top of his, putting the ice on her ankle and holding it there.

"I can ice it." She tries to remove her leg from his but he doesn't let go.

"Yeah, but we both know you won't."

Kensi shakes her head. "I will if you hand me the ice."

Callen shrugs. "I don't mind doing this. It's either help you or fill out paperwork. Stop fighting."

And she does.

She leans back against her chair and relaxes while he holds the ice-pack against her ankle.

She has to admit that it feels kind of good. At least it eases the pain and the soreness.

After one minute or two they all start talking about random things and he's so distracted that starts stroking her leg up and down, absentminded. She doesn't mind and he doesn't seem to even notice he's doing it.

Deeks notices, however, and smirks discreetly.

After the fifteen minutes are up, Callen removes the ice from her foot and sets her leg down. "We'll repeat this after lunch."

Kensi nods and they start working. It turns out that he doesn't put ice on her after lunch because they start working on a new case and time is rather scarce.

But, just as she though that all her plans to seduce Callen were going down the drain, Hetty tells her to put on a little black dress to go undercover.

And the little black dress is just what she needed to give the final blow.

It's tight, showing off all her curves, ends around mid-thigh and has enough cleavage to be considered not appropriate for work. She puts on a pair of black heels and winces when her foot touches the ground.

It's probably not a good idea to wear this kind of shoes when her foot is not even close to healed but she's going to be sitting most of the time so it should be okay.

She expects all eyes to land on her when she gets out of the dressing room but that's not what happens.

Callen is the only one there, sitting on his desk in a black tuxedo.

Sam and Deeks went ahead to enter the club first.

When Callen turns to her, he simply gets up and tells her if she's good to go.

To say that she's disappointed doesn't even begin to cover it. His eyes don't even look below her neck.

She knows she's being ridiculous but he sure knows how to kick a girl's ego.

It's only on their way to the club that it hits her full force. He doesn't think about her like that. He sees her as a co-worker, someone he has to take care of.

And, just like that, all thoughts of seducing him fly out of the window and Kensi starts to feel slightly uncomfortable in that dress.
