"Well it is still early. How about we watch a movie?" Ziva was drying her hair in a fluffy towel still smirking at Tony's reaction to seeing her and McGee in the bath together.

It was worth every minute of convincing on her part to get McGee into his swimming trunks and to have him join her in the bath. Initially he had been nervous and tense, not wanting to move for fear of squashing her against the side or slopping water over the side of the bath. Once she had given him a job to concentrate on he had relaxed. Ziva had slipped the straps of her bikini down beneath the bubbles and enjoyed laying back and having her toe nails painted. Tim's large warm hands cradled her feet so carefully it was as if he thought they might break. Ziva even thought that while he might not admit it McGee had actually enjoyed being in the bath with her.

After her toes were done she had washed his hair for him as a reward. She found she enjoyed working her fingers into his scalp through the fragrant foam and she could feel him gradually relax under her fingers until he was nearly putty. He had leaned forward resting his arms on his knees and bent his head down in relaxed supplication. His clean masculine scent was now mixed in with the delicious scent of Pomegranates and strawberries. Utterly edible.

"What did you say Damita?" Tim called out from the bathroom and Ziva smiled moving closer to the closed door. She had left him in the bathroom to allow him some privacy to get changed. When she had stepped out of the water he had tried (and failed) to look at every part of the bathroom except her as she stood there with the warm scented water streaming over her burnished curves.

"I said how about a movie?"

"Ok sounds good" Tim called out, his own voice muffled in a towel already regretting his inevitable exit from his private Ziva free retreat.

Watching a movie. That sounded safe. Anything that delayed sliding into that big hotel bed with a warm smooth skinned Ziva. He just knew she would slip into his arms, rest her head on his chest before making soothing little circles on his chest calming him like a skittish horse before going to sleep. Danger Will Robinson!

Especially a Ziva who now smelled liked pomegranates and strawberries

Now that his fear of attending the actual convention had lessoned he discovered he had developed a new concern. Ziva.

She was being nice, considerate, sexy and fun. It could well prove to be a fatal combination for him. He realised he was developing a crush on the dark haired Mossad agent. Well he had always had a slight crush on her since she had joined the team but this constant near naked affection from her was fanning the flames into a definite slow burn.

Tim had heard of it happening when you went undercover. You had to be close to your partner, to depend on them when you were out of your element. You exposed parts of yourself and consequently felt vulnerable. Ziva was helping him by being sweet and kind but Tim found he wished she would yell at him or threaten him with a paperclip rather then offering to wash his hair or to feed him sweet lobster tail from her delicate bare fingers.

Tim splashed cold water over his face as he considered the sensation of Ziva running her hands all over his bare back and through his hair…..

No. THAT wasn't helping.

Ok might as well get this over and done with. If he stayed in the bathroom much longer she might begin to wonder what he was up to.

*****************************************************************

Ziva snuggled up to Tim on the plush soft couch and tried not to roll her eyes as she felt him stiffen slightly beside her. She punished him by draping his arm over her and smiling at him.

He smiled nervously back.

Ziva had turned the lights down and had a ordered a movie from the Hotels New Release section. As the credits started she dug down into the bags of candy she had purchased today feeling happy and relaxed. It had been a long time since she had been held by someone she could relax with and trust not to grope her in the dark. Tim was a good friend.

Ziva gave him another smile in the dark and popped some tingly sweet chewy gummi bears into her mouth.

Tim grit his teeth. If Ziva was going to keep reaching down into his crotch to grope for candy for the entire movie he was definitely going to go mad. There she went again.

"M & M's Toby?"

Tim shook his head. Hell no. They were probably melted from the heat he was generating anyway. Perhaps he could move the candy to the floor rather than where she had rested it on his lap? Subtly?

"Oh wait. I think I have some……..Skittles here somewhere…..Would you prefer those?"

Tim dropped his head back against the couch and bit his lip to stifle the groan as Ziva rummaged enthusiastically through the bags of candy.

"Oh here we are…"

Ziva poured a small handful into her palm and carefully fed them to Tim who was trying to both get his breathing under control and keep Ziva's hands occupied and away from his groin. Ziva her good deed done snuggled back against his side while Tim crunched on a mouthful of sweet skittles and tried not to think erotic thoughts about how sweet Zivas fingers would taste.

No. NOT helping.

"Toby! Are you watching this?" Ziva crossly elbowed Tim in the ribs as she finally noticed his distraction.

Tim turned to Ziva in the dark.

"Honestly no"

Ziva raised her eyebrows at the slightly husky tone in his voice. And proceeded to thump him with a couch cushion. She had gone to all the trouble to organise a movie and appropriate movie snacks so he could enjoy an evening relatively stress free and he wasn't even watching.

Tim saw his chance to free himself from Zivas unwitting seductive torture and removed the candy to the floor with one hand while he grabbed his own cushion with the other. Fighting with Ziva was a much better way of dealing with his sexual frustration than being groped by her.

Zivas eyes grew wide. He WOULDN'T…would he? Not sweet McGee?

Thump

Ziva squealed and laughed as Tim over extended himself and nearly fell off the couch as she scurried backwards trying to get away from his long reach.

Right that was it. It was ON!

*****************************************************************

Tony had shaken off the unsettling vision of Ziva and McGee together in the bath. Hell Probie had thought they might have had sex together when he went undercover with Ziva. Whose the man? Tony was.

Tony nodded to George as he came off the Alpha shift and passed him in the hallway. Tony poked his head into the surveillance room.

"So hows our couple behind door number one doing Jake?"

Jake smirked and increased the volume so that Ziva's sultry growl filled the room.

"Ummm you taste as sweet as Gummi Bears Toby"

This was followed by a distinctive male whimper.

There were several whistles and cheers from other agents in the room completing the profiling of other guests staying in the hotel.

'Score One for your Agent McGee, DiNozzo"

Jake grinned. "I think that should definitely go up on the whiteboard."

Suddenly there was the sound of a heavy object crashing to the floor, a sharp cry of pain followed by a curse.

"I'll go check it out" Tony ran from the room his heart pounding. Perhaps someone had made their move on Tony Wilson already?

"Room Service" Tony pounded on their door knowing that until he was certain he needed to keep his cover intact. A moment passed and he could hear what sounded like furniture being dragged around the room.

Just as Tony was about to pound on the door again, or failing that kick it in Ziva opened the door.

"Yes?" She enquired sweetly, standing in the doorway in yet another silky negligee. Tony stared at what appeared to be a gummi bear sticking precariously out from between her breasts. And what was that in her hair?

Where the hell was McGee? What had she done to him?

Tony tried to peer into the dark apartment. What was that rattling cursing sound?

"Uh we have had some noise complaints from the rooms either side of you and we just wanted to make sure everything was alright?"

"Oh we are fine. Thank you for asking. We were just watching a movie. I'm sorry we must have had the sound turned up too loud."

"Uh huh" Tony leaned across trying to see behind Ziva when McGee suddenly stepped out from behind the door.

"Hello. Hi. Everything's fine. No need to worry"

Tony narrowed his eyes at McGee who seemed distinctly out of breath. He was also shirtless, with his hair sticking up everywhere and he appeared to have a handful of M & M's crushed and smeared into his chest. And why was he holding his left arm behind his back?

Tony looked at McGee carefully, narrowing his eyes and watched as the Probie blushed and quickly plucked several Skittles out of his hair embarrassed.

"Okay. Well as long as your sure everything is fine.."

Tony slowly turned and walked away down the corridor while he heard McGee expel a held breath and hiss something at Ziva.

Hummm something weird was definitely going on. Was McGee trying to outdo him in the undercover stakes or something? Prove how crazy he really was?

Tim watched Tony walk away and closed the door with relief before sagging against it. That was close. Tony would have never let him live it down. It just seemed so kinky. Well lesson learned. Ziva took her candy very seriously AND she fought dirty.

Tim held up his left arm which still had the handcuff on it where Ziva had secured him to the now overturned lounge chair in revenge for a vicious gummi bear attack.

"Have you found the key yet?" Tim frowned as Ziva stalked towards him eager to continue the battle.

Ziva smirked as Tim stood pinned to the door and slowly leaned forward and licked his chest humming.

"Mmmmm you know just here…… you taste like chocolate."

Tim tried to hide his smirk and pointed to the couch. Ok so the theory that fighting with Ziva was better for his sexual frustration than being slowly groped by her wasn't proving correct. Now she was licking him.

"Right you, couch, movie. Stay. I'm going to need another shower."

Ziva grinned and started gathering up all the candy strewn about the room as Tim headed back to his bathroom picking candy and chocolate off his skin. This had been the best movie night ever. What was the movie they were watching anyway?
