-22-

The ride to the safe house was quiet and took about 45 minutes.

45 minutes in which Abs sat in the back of the car, sandwiched between Ziva and Tim staring out of the window or at the back of Gibbs' head, while listening to music.

She had a fair idea what their destination was. Only two safe-houses NCIS owned were toward the destination they were heading and only one had a bath tub. Since Gibbs usually did everything he could to fulfill wishes for the once he loves he would at least try to get her a bath-tub.

Gibbs turned right, off the main-road toward a remote area.

Abby and his gaze met at the inside mirror of the car. She knew which house he had pick.

Her hand moved to her chin and in one swift movement she signed a thank you towards the mirror, aware that she at least got watched by her friends sitting left and right of her.

Ten minutes later they parked in front of a small house, which was located in a small forest.

"Tony, Ziva, Tim check the inside and outside of the estate."

As the last car-door was closed Abby switched her music off and looked at Gibbs.

"Aren't you a little overprotective, it is a safe-house? Besides everybody thinks I'm dead." Unbuckling herself she slid forward till she could rest her forearms on the seats in front of her.

"It is only as safe as the precautions you take."

Gibbs had turned his upper body around to face her.

"Spoken like a true agent." With a smile she pecked his nose.

Not much later Abby was allowed to climb up the stairs.

The scientist was relieved to find the bath tub in the bathroom attached to her room.

Next to waking up snuggled up to Gibbs, seeing the tub was the most beautiful thing she had experienced for the last couple of days.

While the four agents stayed downstairs, Abby had grabbed her handbag out of Gibbs' hand, had kissed his cheek and had gone up the stairs as soon as the door had closed behind them.

As much as she loved spending time with them, all she wanted now was to get rid of the hideous smell that clung to her skin.

She was happy to be out of the hospital and certainly didn't want to smell like one for much longer.

While Tony, Ziva and Tim fought about who would prepare the dinner Gibbs grabbed Abby's and his bag and followed her up the stairs.

When he passed the threshold of what would be their room for the stay his eyes first saw the red wig carefully placed onto the chest of drawers next to the window.

The dress fitting pink shoes were obviously kicked into the general direction of the corner next to the chest of drawers, while the dress was dropped to the floor only two meters away from the door he noted with a smile.

Through the slightly ajar door he saw her standing in front of the tub, only clad in her underwear, staring down at said.

Heaven. Abby thoughts as she watched the water rise in the bath.

Completely absorbed in her thoughts Abs tensed for a matter of seconds as a warm arm snuck around her waist, embracing her tenderly.

Contentment flooded through every fiber of her being as she leant against his chest.

Thanks to the messy ponytail Gibbs had free access to be able to kiss a trace along her neck.

The moan that left Abby's lips caused him to grin against her skin.

"Gibbs, this is not a good idea."

Feeling the 'want' increase, she tried to break free but Gibbs didn't let go.

"Seriously Gibbs, this is not a good idea."

Nonetheless she bent her head to give him more room.

With closed eyes she spoke up. "Honestly I don't want to be spoilsport, but you said that, the thing" she paused "you are initiating right now, won't happen. Why the sudden change of heart?"

By the end her voice was barely audible.

After one last peck to her neck he turned her around, bringing his hands to the small of her back, eyes focused on hers.

"I almost lost you Abs."

Abby Sciuto had seen a lot in her life but the sight in front of her shocked her more than she cared to admit.

Barely visible to anyone who didn't know him so well, were tears glinting in the corners of his eyes.

Abby did the only thing she could think of, she brought her hands to his face and pulled him towards her lips, softly kissing his.

"Did you honestly think you can get rid of me that easily?"

"Abs." His voice broke.

He pulled her into a tight embrace burying his nose in her hair.

Jethro still held her pressed against his chest when a soft knock became audible followed by Tony's voice.

"Boss, the director wants to speak with you." Both knew that, a phone call of the director was something he couldn't ditch.

The special agent reluctantly eased his hold and step away.

"I'll be right back, Abs."

"I'll be right here." She pointed to the tub. "I expect you to join me."

"I might do that." With that he opened the bathroom door.

Before he left Gibbs pointed to the small black bag.

"Your favorite bath oil is in there."

The agent had almost crossed the bedroom when Abby's voice became audible.

"Oh Gibbs, I love you so much right now."

Jethro stopped, turned around and looked into the bathroom, watching Abby add some oil into the bath.

"Only now?"

"Oh Gibbs, I'll always love you so much that it hurts, but today you are my bath oil hero, that is why I love you even more."

"Bath oil hero, I have never been called that before."

With a smile he finally left the room to take the director's call.

With anticipation Abs got rid of her black panties and the matching bra, placed a towel over the radiator and finally stepped into the tub.

"Holy…" Holding her breath she leant forward and turned the cold water on.

Note to self, next time check the water before burning your skin.

Eventually Abs enjoyed the scented water hugging her skin as she lay down, closing her eyes, waiting for Gibbs to reappear.

The scientist didn't know how much time had passed since Gibbs had left the bathroom, but it had been enough so as to the once hot water was cooled down to a not bearable level.

Eventually she got out and hugged herself in the warmed bath towel and went to the bedroom to rest on the comfy bed, closing her eyes.

Abby didn't mean to fall asleep but her body seemed not to agree with her mind at all. She didn't even realize that she drifted off until she woke again.

When the mattress dipped at one side and a warm hand began to rub over her bare back she opened her eyes gazing toward the man who owned the hand.

"Hey, I didn't mean to wake you up."

"Hey." Abby smiled sleepily. "It's okay; I didn't mean to fall asleep." A yawn escaped her lips as she stretched her arms and turned to her side, not caring that the towel slid down, exposing her front.

Such an invitation could not be passed unheeded.

Warm breath tickled her skin as Gibbs bent down to kiss a trail from her collarbone to the hardening peek of her breast, which he gently sucked into his mouth after first licking over it.

Her eyelids fluttered shut as his lips caressed her skin.

"Gibbs," his name sounded more like a long drown sigh "the door …."

Jethro lifted his head high enough to be able to speak and continued with her sentence "…is locked."

With that he pushed her onto her back, kissing a trail to her other breast.

He took his time, savoring every inch of her body with kisses and tenderness that was almost too much for Abby to bear. She had never felt so loved and cherished before, not to this extent at least.

The following love making mirrored the previous affection.

Slow movements, while fingertips were barely touching her heated skin and yet her muscles tensed with every movement of his hands.

Jethro was taking the time to tenderly kiss every reachable inch of skin while they were linked.

For Abby it felt like how she had always imagined her first time, and not like the 30 seconds painful experience with her- afterward not anymore- high school sweetheart.

Right that moment when Gibbs nibbled at her neck and brought his fingertips back to her breast Abby felt pure bliss.

Bliss that turned rapidly into pure ecstasy and ended in a height of pleasure she had never experienced before in her entire life.

White light exploded in front of her eyes as the most powerful orgasm rushed through every fiber of her body.

Wave after wave let her body shake and her upper body arch upwards uncontrollably, meeting the heated skin of his chest.

She was unaware that she had triggered Jethro's climax or that she dug her nails into his back so hard that she draw blood.

She didn't even notice that she bit into his neck as the first wave hit her.

No, the world could have ended right that moment and Abby wouldn't have noticed. Hell, she probably wasn't able to say her name.

It was almost like her brain had switched off; to not get overwhelmed by the force of feelings her body went through.

It took some time till her surroundings came back into her focus, the body resting still partly on top of her, the warm hand against her cheek and his lips resting against her neck.

It took even more time for Abby to remember how to use her mouth to speak.

"Now I know why they call it 'le petit mort'."

Gibbs didn't say a word he only grinned against her skin, understanding her very well.

*innocently smile* Satisfied?
