A/N: So, sorry this took me a couple days to update, but I really didn't feel like writing. I just expected a lot bigger response to the last chapter. You guys really make me smile with your reviews. So without further a due here is the next chapter :).
Chapter 12- All You Need Is Love
An electric current ran through her body. She had never felt anything like this before.
Ziva's whole body tensed under him. Her fingers left imprints on his back. She never wanted that feeling to end, the feeling of being with the right person, at the right time, and them being completely in love with her.
Tony collapsed on top of her as his body was swept away with the electric current. He had never felt this way either. Even with Jeanne he always felt something wasn't right between them. Right now though, in this moment, everything was perfect.
Tony lay down next to Ziva. She flipped on her side and he immediately curled up next to her. He put his broken arm over hers and pulled her in close. She winced a little, but was calmed with Tony's fingers interlocking with hers. They fell asleep like that.
Tony awoke several hours later. He smiled when he saw Ziva's naked body net to him. He instantly got a flashback of what had just happened. Then, as he looked at her fragile body, a small bit of shame swept over him.
'Look at her Tony. She's still fragile. Still healing and you just couldn't wait. You had to do what you've done with every girl before her. It was supposed to be different. You were supposed to be different.'
Just then Ziva woke up and rolled over to face him, never letting their hands separate. She smiled as he brought her hand up to his lips and kissed it softly. She noticed the hurt in his eyes.
"What is it my love?" she asked in an almost whisper.
"It's just… I… I wanted things to be different this time. I wanted to wait because I love you. I wanted to do this the right way. I didn't want it to be just sex-"
She stopped him by putting her finger on his lips.
"Tony what we just did, was not 'just sex'. We made love. I have never felt anything like it."
"Not even with Rivkin?" He asked before he could stop himself.
She stayed silent for a split second, but then answered with, "Especially not Michael."
Ziva smiled as he kissed her hand again.
"I've never felt anything like it either." He added.
"Not even with Jeanne?" She asked with a smirk.
He smiled and then kissed her hand again. "Never with her."
She pulled her hand away from his and lightly stroked his face. She pulled him in and kissed him deeply. After a few minutes Ziva put her head on Tony's chest and began playing with his chest hair. He ran his fingers through her hair as they lay there, silent.
"Ziva?"
"Yes my love?"
"I love you."
She continued playing with his chest hair, not answering him. She knew she loved him, but she wasn't sure if she was ready to say it. It seemed as if everything had happened so fast, and she knew love was not that way. Love took time.
"I understand you not saying it back to me. I mean all of this is probably is still processing in your head, but I just wanted you to know."
"I do. I just want to say it on my own time, and not just because you said it first." She said, finally looking up at him.
He tussled her hair and smiled at her with his signature smile. She smiled back and kissed him.
"Now come on. Let's get up and watch those movies." Ziva said as she made her way to Tony's dresser drawer with his college shirts.
"Or we could just lay here in each others arms." Tony said patting the bed.
Ziva turned and smiled at him.
-The bullpen-
"Is this slump ever going to end?" McGee whined as he looked up old cold cases on his computer.
"Be happy we don't have a case Tim, or else you'd be doing the triple the work with Tony and Ziva gone." Gibbs said, walking up behind him.
"True."
"Hey, hey, hey don't forget about me." Jessica added as she walked in from the opposite side of the bullpen.
Gibbs laughed as he sat down at his desk. "Oh I could never forget about you." He said as he threw away his coffee.
"Oh I bet." Jessica said as she set a new cup down right where his old one was. She walked back to her desk.
"McGee why don't you go see what Abby is doing in the lab." Gibbs commanded.
"Uh yeah sure." McGee replied.
'I sure hope you're not breaking rule 12 with her boss.' McGee thought as he entered the lab.
-Abby's Labby-
"Timmy what are you doing here?" Abby asked pushing a button making her computer screen go black.
"Gibbs sent me down here when Jess came back from getting him coffee. What are you hiding?"
"Nothing." She said crossing her arms. He moved and toward her and she turned her back to the screen. He put his hands on the opposite sides of her desk, blocking her in. He leaned into her.
"You know you are the worst liar?"
"Only with you."
He kissed her as his drifted to the keyboard bringing the screen back up. Up popped a filmstrip of them as McGee pulled away he couldn't help but grin. Abby looked back at it and then stared into McGee's eyes.
"I wanted to surprise you." She said.
"It's perfect." He added.
Just then Abby's phone started blinking.
"Yes Gibbs?" She asked as she pushed a button.
"You and McGee go home. There is nothing left for us to do here."
"Yes sir." Abby saluted the phone.
"Abbs."
"Sorry, Gibbs."
-Gibbs' basement-
As Gibbs walked down the stairs with take out, he found Jessica in her short shorts and his jacket, sanding away.
"You taking up my hobby?" He asked setting down the takeout on the table.
"Not so sure you could call it a hobby. It's more of a job."
"Well I brought Chinese."
"Again?" She asked turning away from the wood and setting down the sander on the table.
"If you don't like it, don't eat it." Gibbs said as he crossed his arms and leaned against the table.
"I like it. I'm just sick of eating it." Jessica said as she leaned into him reaching for one of the take out boxes. He stopped her hand mid way.
"That's mine."
She quickly grabbed it and took off for the stairs.
"We'll see. If you can catch me." Jessica yelled as she ran up the stairs.
Gibbs smiled and grabbed the other box. He slowly made his way to the stairs.
-McGee's Apartment-
Abby collapsed on top of McGee. They were both sweaty from making love. He breathed heavily on her head.
"That was amazing." McGee said with a grin.
Abby looked up at him and smiled.
"Wanna go play video games?" She asked.
"I love you." He said and then kissed her.
-Back at Tony's-
Tony and Ziva laid on the couch and watched The Untouchables. Tony could not believe Ziva had never seen it.
Ziva laid with her back to his chest. Her ear was right on his heart. He had his arms wrapped around her waist. He hands were on top of his.
Just then Tony's phone rang. He picked it up off of the coffee table.
"DiNozzo."
"DiNozzo you and David are to report to MTAC tomorrow at 0900. Her father wants to speak with her." Vance commanded and then hung up.
"Who was it?" Ziva asked as she looked back at him.
"Vance."
"What did he want?"
"He wants us in MTAC tomorrow at 0900. Apparently your dad wants to talk to you."
Ziva sat up and looked at him, confused.
I know it was a mushy gushy chapter but I was sick of all the fighting. Next chapter will be freakin intense, so prepare yourselves. Reviews make my world go round :).
