She was far from being right.

Abs didn't open her eyes until she felt his warm hands move under the blanket, stopping on top her calves.

With a firm grip he pulled her into a laying position.

Jethro made sure the blanket was still in place when he settles on top of her.

His lower body parts came to rest between her legs while he held himself in a position in which he didn't squeeze her body.

Their eyes were on the same level when the Goth opened hers again.

"Am I allowed to say something?"

Not able to speak she nodded.

"Abby, I know you've been in love with me for quite some time now."

She was about to say something but he stopped her by shaking his head.

"I'm not done yet. Did this knowledge make me behave differently?"

She slowly shook her head.

"Do you want to know why?"

This time Abs nodded.

"Because I love you too."

Abby just stared at him.

"Could you please say something?" Jethro's voice was barely audible.

She shook her head but a small smile became visible right before her hand moved to his neck to pull him down.

Before their lips could meet she moved her mouth to his ear.

Whispering softly: "So if something should happen now, then only if it isn't a fling Gibbs, I want you for keeps, I don't think I can let you go without breaking completely the next time you leave.

"My Abs." She could feel his breath tickling her neck as he whispered her name.

"You've had my heart for a long time and you'll always will. I had to go I couldn't let you see me break, Abs. It would have broken you too. You are the only one I never wanted to get hurt. You know you are the only female person I trusted enough to open up."

He paused shortly as he felt her tense.

"Abs you never could be a fling. You are too important to me to do something to hurt you intentionally or worse to lose you."

He tried to move off of her body but she didn't let go of his neck.

"Abs."

He lifted his head a little to look her in the eyes.

The fear that he might want to leave now was clearly visible on her features.

"I'm not going anywhere, but it seems we should talk before something happens and maybe we should do that in the living room."

He kissed her forehead, while trying to push upwards.

Abby held him in place and looked in his eyes. "You know I've never heard you say so much in one go and additional to that you still want to talk more."

"I'm a private person Abs, you know that. It's not like we don't talk at all outside of work."

Letting her fingers slide up his neck into his hair Abby spoke up: "Yeah, I just never heard you say so much personal in mere five minutes."

Lowering his head he tenderly pecked her lips.

"Maybe you should wear underwear while we continue this talk, because you are driving me insane right now."

She giggled. "It's not like your erection against my thigh is helping me think."

He tried to move again, in that attempt he accidentally brushed against her opening.

Abby closed her eyes and suppressed a moan.

When she opened her eyes again, staring straight into Gibbs' eyes, who had to swallow, by the desire he saw in them.

"This is not a fling?" Her voice was husky.

Gibbs shook his head.

"For keeps?" This time he nodded.

She pulled him down and kissed him.

Slowly at first but soon the slow exploring of the new found territory was becoming passionate. Almost immediately two dueling tongues were fighting for control.

When they broke apart they just looked at each other.

Without saying anything he sat up and pulled her with him into a sitting position. With a grin he pulled at the blanket. Once her legs were free, he straddled them.

*S-u-r-e*? He spelled each letter to lend weight onto this meaningful question.

Abby didn't answer, at least not aloud or signed.

Instead she pulled his shirt out of his pants and let her hand sneak under the fabric, shyly tracing the skin right above his waistband.

The soft touches of her fingertips made it almost impossible for him to breath.

His abdominal muscles tensed with every small movement, sending shockwaves right to his groin.

His eyelids closed immediately. "Abs."

A low growl followed.

Eventually she let her hands move again to the hem. She grabbed the fabric and with his help she pushed the shirt above his head, letting it drop onto the bed next to them.

She couldn't help but lick her lips when his torso came into her view.

She wanted to taste, explore and kiss every inch of skin in front of her, but Gibbs had a different idea.

With one swift movement she had lost her shirt.

Talented hands.

Abby was sitting in front of him only covered with her bra and the skirt.

The bra was gone moments later.

Abby didn't realize it till she lay flat on her back again, his frame on top of her.

Every inch of skin that touched was on fire.

While his mouth was busy on the skin of her neck, her hands were moving over his back down to the waistband.

With some difficulties her hands wandered to the front of his pants.

He lifted his pelvis as soon as he felt her hand on the buckle of his belt, never stopping the kissing, licking, nibbling of her soft skin.

Abby had succeeded with opening his belt and the button of his pants.

While Gibbs' lips sought hers again, her hand found the way into the prison of the throbbing member, she had felt brushing against her opening a little while ago.

He moaned into her mouth as he felt her fingers closing around his sensitive flesh.

He felt his muscles tighten while she moved up and down his length.

With great effort he broke the kiss and moved away from her hand, not wanting it to be over too soon.

"I want to take my time with you but if you keep that up, it's over before it begins."

She looked at him, desire all over her face.

"Do you really think we'll hold on long enough for a slow love making?"

A boyish grin appeared on his face.

"No, but I'll try nonetheless."

With that his head sought shelter beneath her skirt.
