In Darkness, Light
Chapter 4
He knows something is wrong. He can always tell when something is bothering her, and this time is no exception. Kensi was silent the whole drive back to the safe house after they left the club, and then when they finally got inside she went and immediately locked herself in the bathroom.
He's listened from his perch on the bed, and knows that she's at least had a shower while she's been in the bathroom. He has also resisted the urge to just kick in the door, and confront her. He knows that it wouldn't work out anyway. You don't press Kensi Blye for information (not in situations like these), no instead you wait patiently for her to come to you.
Deeks finds himself thinking back to what he had seen earlier at the club. He had been looking for Kensi, and he had found her-though what he saw then made him feel even more uneasy about their assignment.
He spots her. She and Diego are standing just across the dance floor. It looks as though he's about to kiss her. He stops short when he hears the team leader's voice in his ear via earwig.
"Deeks, wait." Callen says calmly. "Let's see what she does."
Deeks finds this extremely hard to do. Especially when he knows full well what this guy is capable of.
Suddenly Kensi jumps back away from Diego. Deeks can tell from her body language immediately afterward that she's in distress, but then just as quickly she appears to return to normal.
Deeks tries to move forward once again, but as usual Callen stops him before he gets too far.
"Let it play out Deeks." The team leaders voice comes through over the radio piece in Deeks' ear.
"I can't." Deeks whispers out of the corner of his mouth. "You saw the same thing I did. He did something she didn't like…so by default, I don't like it either." Deeks argues quietly.
"I know this is hard for you, but let her be." Callen tells him. "Don't worry, if he tries something again…we'll step in, but not until then."
Deeks' heart thunders wildly in his chest. He can't stand this waiting on the sidelines deal, but he knows that Callen is right. Still, watching his partner (and lover) operate in a dangerous position sets him on edge every time.
The sound of the bathroom door finally opening pulls Deeks from his thoughts. He looks up and sees Kensi standing in the doorway looking back at him. She's dressed in the pajamas that she usually wears to sleep at night, and her hair has obviously been blown dry.
"What?" he asks quietly.
She walks across the carpet, and climbs up onto the bed with the shaggy-haired man. She kneels on her knees in front of him, and looks deep into his Pacific Ocean blue eyes. The kiss that she shared with Diego Espinoza earlier still runs through her mind, and then the way he'd looked at her afterward—she still shivers just thinking about it.
"Fern?" Deeks says, a little bit confused by what his girl his doing.
"Deeks, do you remember our first kiss?" Kensi asks slowly.
"I do." He replies.
Kensi nods as she thinks back over the plan that she has been formulating in her mind for the last several minutes. "This is gonna sound crazy, but I need you to kiss me—just like that."
Deeks searches her eyes for answers, but finds only confusion there. He knows better than to push her when she's like this. When she's ready to talk—she will. He just has to be patient with her.
"Please, I just need this." She pleads quietly.
Deeks nods as he reaches out for Kensi. "Whatever you need princess." He whispers, as he pulls her close.
Their lips meet in a deep, passionate kiss. Kensi lays a hand against her lovers' cheek seemingly losing herself in the contact. After a few seconds she uses her other hand to push Deeks over onto his back where she comes to rest straddling his hips, still lost in their passionate exchange.
The contact between them is like a tiny spark waiting to ignite an uncontrollable wild fire. She feels it first bubbling low in her belly. That heat slowly builds, and radiates through her core until it becomes an intense burning sensation that threatens to completely overwhelm her. "I am so turned on right now." She moans with a tiny smirk.
Deeks chuckles at the sexy brunette. "You heard what Hetty said," he reminds her, as he tries to push himself up onto his arms. "We have to maintain our cover…even here." He adds with a grunt as Kensi forces him back down.
Kensi steals another quick kiss. "Who's gonna know?" she says as she gently rocks her hips rhythmically against his. "Besides, you know you want this." She whispers in a low, seductive voice as she closes her eyes to the sensations building within her own body.
The heat from her core slowly spreads through the fabric of her clothes, and into Deeks. Within seconds his body begins to slowly respond to hers, and he soon finds himself fighting a losing battle against the most primal of urges.
Kensi gasps suddenly as she feels him growing beneath her. The sensation only intensifies what she is already feeling, and threatens to completely undo her right then and there.
Ah, to hell with it. He shifts his body slightly until he finds just the right amount of leverage, and then without any warning at all he suddenly grasps her arms and forces her upwards. He then flips Kensi onto her back, and brings himself to hover just inches above her—all with the flourish of an expert. She tries to pull away, but Deeks keeps her arms pinned firmly over her head.
She struggles against his firm grip, panting breathlessly, as she stares up into his Pacific Ocean blue eyes. There are only mere inches between their points of heat, and this distance is just enough to drive Kensi crazy with want.
"Instigator." He says with a smirk, as he looks her over.
"Please...I need this." She begs, as she arches her body upwards desperate for more contact.
He chuckles at her feeble attempts to fight back, and holds himself so that his heat is just out of reach of her own. He can see in her eyes that the lack of contact is absolutely killing her. Whatever she was feeling before, this must be her way of dealing with it.
Deeks bends his head low and lets his lips connect again with hers. As expected, Kensi immediately tries to use this to regain lost ground. But it is too no avail, as Deeks clearly has the advantage either way.
"You know the penalty, Fern." He whispers, his voice sounding thick and husky in her ear. "I hope you're ready to play hardball." He watches her swallowing nervously beneath him.
The point of this little game is deceptively simple. Deeks will use every trick in his arsenal to keep Kensi on edge for as long as humanly bearable. No matter how hard she fights, or how much she begs—he will not give in. Then as the two of them teeter just on the brink of oblivion he will finally acquiesce. The end result of this tumultuous dance is a blinding explosion of sheer ecstasy that will leave them both spent and utterly satisfied beyond all comprehension.
For Deeks the opportunity to participate in such a thing is nothing short of an absolute honor in his book. The way that Kensi seems to trust him so completely is something that touches him in the very deepest part of his heart, and makes him want to give her everything he has time and time again.
Kensi lies snuggled against her lover's muscular chest utterly exhausted from their raucous romp together. Her vitals have long since returned to normal, and her breathing is rhythmically even.
Deeks runs his hand in gentle, back-and-forth strokes over the delicate, tanned skin of her back. She looks so beautiful this way, and he can't help hoping that this little escapade was exactly what she needed after the night she'd had. He cranes his neck, and plants a gentle kiss against the top of her head.
"Goodnight princess." He whispers softly. He carefully pulls the top sheet up over their naked bodies until it reaches the point just below her shoulders. Sleep will come for him soon enough, just as it had for her, but until then he'll be content just lying here listening to the steady pulse of her heart beating in time with his own.
The next morning brings sunshine and happiness to the couple as they awaken, and set about their respective morning routines. Kensi is certainly in a much better mood than she had been the previous night, and for that Deeks is eternally grateful.
When the sexy brunette strolls into the kitchen all clean and dressed up for a day out, Deeks can't help but let go of a whistle in her direction. "Nice." He says with a smile, turning away from the breakfast bagel in front of him.
Kensi does a quick twirl to show off the full extent of her outfit. She's proud of it, and it is one of the few outfits that she actually feels good in. She runs her hands through her hair ruffling the bouncy curls she put in it earlier.
"You like it?" she asks, placing her hands on her hips.
"I love it." He replies with a chuckle. "It's like a whole new you—and you seem to be in awfully good spirits this morning."
Kensi chuckles delightedly. "Thanks. I know…I feel great." She tells him. "Thanks, for last night, I mean." She adds, a little more timidly than before. "It was just what I needed."
"Anytime." He says, with a nod. Then he reaches for the folded newspaper lying on the counter beside him. "By the way, Sis, I found an article in the morning paper you might like." He says with a wink, as he passes the paper to Kensi.
She gets the message just as Deeks knew that she would. She opens the paper to the article indicated. The tiny, black letters have been written over with a red marker. Spoke with Hetty. Surveillance for your date has been taken care of. Your rental car is out front. Please be careful. These are the words that Deeks scribbled out in big, bold red lettering across the page.
Kensi folds the paper back up once more, and hands it back to Deeks. "A shoe sale. You know I love a new pair of shoes…or three." She teases, with a smile. The two of them work so well together, especially undercover like this—it adds a whole different level of excitement to the assignment.
"I think I'm gonna need a little more money for the day." She tells him as she walks to the refrigerator. She opens the door then, and retrieves a chocolate slim-fast shake from within the cold storage container.
"Already taken care of Sis." Deeks says, with a smile. "Try not to blow through it so quickly this time, hmm." He adds.
Kensi walks back over to Deeks, and wraps her arms around him. "You're the best big brother ever." She tells him, as she gives him a slight squeeze. "Not to mention extremely gifted in bed." She adds, whispering the words quietly into his ear. She is referring of course to their little 'escapade' the night before.
Deeks pulls her down to his level, and plants a gentle kiss on top of her head. "Anything for my baby Sis." He says softly. Kensi feigns embarrassment and pulls away from Deeks.
Kensi glances down at her wristwatch, and notices the time. "Oh drat, I'm gonna be late. Diego's taking me out to lunch somewhere special later, but first we're headed down into the valley." She tells her partner.
"Sounds exciting." Deeks says, giving her a thumbs-up. "Have fun." He adds as he watches her collect her purse, the keys to her rental car, and her sunglasses from the end of the kitchen counter.
"Have fun working." She calls back as she finally walks out the front door.
Deeks smiles as he listens to the car door opening, and then closing after she's climbed inside the vehicle. Next comes the sound of the engine starting up, and then the car backing out of the driveway.
Several minutes later Deeks' cell phone begins to ring. Deeks leaves the last bite of his breakfast bagel, and walks out to the dining room table where he left his cell phone the night before.
He picks up the electronic device, and reads off the Caller ID. It's Callen. Deeks presses the green button, and then holds the phone to his ear. "Talk to me. Yeah, she just left. Alright, I'm on my way."
A few seconds later he hangs up the phone, and then shoves the device down into his jeans pocket. Now to grab the last bite of that bagel, and then he can be on his way to OSP to meet with Callen and Sam.
…TBC…
