CHAPTER 17

Gibbs turns her head into his kiss, causing her to moan softly as her hands fist into Tony's shirt. Tony is fascinated by their deep kiss until if finally ends and Kate turns back to him. Her fingers curve up to urge his head down and he complies, and there is no hesitation as Tony kisses her long and hard, pressing her head back onto Gibbs' chest with the force of his desire. Tony feels Gibbs' rough hands moving down his arms, covering his hands with his larger calloused ones. Guiding them down to Kate's hips; pressing them firmly to her soft, rounded curves. Grinding his hard erection against her with Tony's hands under his, holding her still, causes Kate to gasp softly and break the kiss.

Her eyes meet Tony's with smoky desire as he holds her firmly; following instructions as always, eager to please Gibbs. And it never occurs to him that this was far outside the realm of his duties to watch Gibbs' six. For that matter, it was far outside his wildest fantasies to even be here, with the two of them. He is more than a little excited by this new game as her hand glides down his chest to find his hard cock pressing into her belly. A husky groan escapes him as her hand strokes slowly over his tight jeans as her other hand is behind her back, stroking Gibbs at the same time.

"Mmmnnn... two hard cocks... one for each hand." His mouth hangs open as if words are there, but refusing to come out. Not quite sure if commenting about her stroking them together was such a good idea, but when she gives each a firm squeeze, their mutual groan of pleasure says it all. Gibbs again lifts his mouth from her neck to see Tony watching him. His hands curve up to scoop her breasts into his palms, kneading gently as his thumbs find her nipples. Tony is glad of the distraction to lower his eyes, finding the older man's hands less distracting than those intense blue eyes. Not wanting to pursue his thoughts of what it would be like to be kissed by the older man... even though it was kind of turning him on.

With Kate writhing between them as they thrust gently against her hands, Tony slides his hands up along Kate's sides, dragging her dress up with them. When his hands collide with Gibbs, his reluctantly release their hold on Kate's breasts to allow the fabric to be drawn up and over her head. She moans softly when the calloused hands once again find her aching breasts through the thin barrier of her black lace bra. Gibbs leans into whispers huskily, "Like this... don't you, Kate?"

"Yes..." She moans as her head once again falls back on his shoulder and her eyes meet Tony's. He is so lost in the moment, watching Kate lose herself in the pleasure that he doesn't notice when Gibbs' hand suddenly gives his nipple a playful pinch through his t-shirt. Tony lets out a strangled yelp as he his eyes widen in momentary confusion when he realizes what Gibbs just did. Even more confusing was how it made his manhood twitch in response. His gaze is frozen on Gibbs' as his calloused hand slips down, dangerously close to his tight jeans, then comes back up underneath his t-shirt. Once again finding his hard flat nipple, Gibbs gently rolls his nipple in the same motion as his other hand is doing to Kate's.

Watching him caressing them both so gently with his rough hands, Tony unconsciously licks his lips; wanting something, but not sure what. Gibbs brings him out of his trance as he quietly gives him something to focus on. "Tony..." Their eyes meet again, "... take your shirt off."

Tony yanks his shirt up and off with one hand, exposing his hairy chest and Kate moans appreciatively and leans in to let her lips replace Gibbs' hand. Bringing another soft groan from the younger man as she nibbles on the flat nub. Gibbs makes quick work of Kate's bra and panties, then his own shirt joins the pile on the floor. With his hands back on Kate's breasts, holding them up as he gives a slight inclination of his head to Tony, offering them to him.

The younger man hesitates, then slowly lowers his head, kissing her soft skin of her neck on his way down. Gibbs stops his caress, cupping her breast and lifting it to meet Tony's mouth. When he reaches his goal, a tremor races through her at the intense heat of his mouth devouring her nipple. She arches back into Gibbs as her hands reach back to grasp his hips for support. Tony mauls her, nipping and suckling hungrily, but wanting so much more as he gives equal attention to both. Gibbs watches her reaction as he whispers in her ear, "Want that, Kate... his hot mouth on your skin?"

She moans in reply and her hands grip Gibbs' hips, pulling him hard against her ass in a silent plea for what she really wants. Tony glides his hands gently up her sides, pressing his thumbs into each rib until they curve around her firm breasts, replacing the older man's hands. He kneads them as his mouth peppers kisses across the ivory satin skin of her chest, moving up to her throat with a rough growl, "God you're beautiful..." So lost in the exploration of the treasure he's found, Tony is surprised when a calloused hand finds his own and tweaks it again. "Oh fuck..."

Gibbs chuckles and brings his hand up to curve around Tony's neck, holding him as he leans in close to huskily order, "Sit back..." He slowly pushes the younger man back until he is resting on the arm of the sofa, unsure if he's being asked to sit out for a while or they are just moving to the next step. He sits there taking deep breaths as his heart threatens to leap out of his chest, but instead of continuing to amaze him with her talented mouth as Gibbs had indicated, Kate now turns to face Gibbs, giving him her full attention.

Wrapping her arms around his waist to draw him in for a hot, passionate kiss as Gibbs' hands arch down over her ass, gripping the firm globes as he presses her into his hips. When the kiss slowly ends, Kate steps back to undo Gibbs' jeans, sliding them and his boxers down his legs so he can step out of them. Kneeling before him, her gaze comes back up to his in anticipation. His hand curls into her hair as he guides her mouth to his hard cock just inches in front of her. She gladly complies, taking his thick shaft into her mouth with a moan and her hand curves around the base as her mouth eagerly glides over him. His eyes close on a low groan as he is momentarily lost in the pleasure of the moment. "Mmmnnn... amazing..."

Tony's hand finds its way to his throbbing cock, undoing his jeans and pulling it out as he had once before, but this time he hopes he will be allowed to do more than watch. When Gibbs' eyes open they meet the younger man's and the blatant desire there is clear. Gibbs growls reluctantly and eases Kate back as he draws her up to stand before him. His mouth finds hers for a quick harsh kiss before he turns her to once again face Tony, whose hand has stilled around his cock. Kate steps up to kiss him deeply and Tony has a brief thought that it should bother him to kiss her after she just sucked Gibbs' cock... but then he realizes... it doesn't. He groans softly as his tongue plunges into her mouth in search of her unique flavor and now that of his boss.

Kate's hands make quick work of his jeans as he raises his hips to help her slide them down until they are pooled around his ankles. When she finally ends the kiss, her eyes meet his as her hand strokes slowly up the length of his shaft. He sees her hesitation, waiting for him to grant her permission, and he finally finds his voice as he roughly whispers, "Kate... suck my... Ohh... GOD!"

Before he can even finish his words, Kate's head drops with purpose to find the hot, sensitive head of his cock. She kneels on the sofa, leaning on his thighs as she takes a moment to explore this new treat. Tony is not as thick as Gibbs', but similar in length and she moans as her tongue glides around the satiny knob before drawing it into her mouth. Tony's head falls back and his hips arch up to meet her mouth as it engulfs him. His eyes are closed and his hands grip the sofa in a desperate attempt to keep himself grounded as he tries hard to keep from coming too soon. Her mouth was... as Gibbs said, 'amazing' and it isn't until she moans huskily and grips his thighs more firmly that he finally opens his eyes.

What he sees causes his hips to jerk and his hand quickly finds the base of his cock, squeezing back the climax that suddenly threatens to overtake him. His eyes latch onto the intense blue of Gibbs, who is behind Kate with his hands spread out over her hips, thrusting his cock into her, slow and steady. Kate moans again as she lets Tony's cock slide from her lips so he can calm down a bit. She focuses her attention a bit lower and scoops his balls up for a gentle caress with her tongue; which has Tony's hand curling into her hair as he pants hard for control.

Kate has trouble concentrating on what she is enjoying more... Gibbs behind her or Tony in front of her. She knows she won't last long as her belly is already swirling with that elusive pleasure and it would only take one touch, one taste, one thrust to set her spiraling out of control. She brings her mouth back up, claiming the hot shaft and bringing a rough groan from its owner. She wants to make this last, for all of them, but then Gibbs begins to thrust harder, letting her know who is in control. His hands pulling her back onto his cock, then pushing her forward onto Tony's cock sets up the rhythm that has both men groaning loudly.

Gibbs controls the pace, his thrusts coming faster as he watches the younger man's face. Tony once again has his head back, eyes closed as he thrusts his hips up in rhythm with them. It doesn't take long before Tony arches up, his fingers fisting in Kate's hair as he holds her head close and cries out as the intense orgasm rocks him. Gibbs momentarily slows, panting hard as he watches her swallowing quickly and pumping his pulsing cock for more. When Tony finally collapses, breathless and too stunned to support himself, his body slides down onto the sofa. This brings him face to face with the woman who just rocked his world, but he doesn't have the strength to open his eyes. Gibbs smirks and gently strokes his hand up her back, easing her forward until she is leaning into Tony; braced against the sofa with her arms on either side of his head.

Gibbs finally gives in to his own aching desire and once again grips her hips as he thrusts hard and deep. Kate moans huskily, panting with each thrust as his demanding cock fills her; stretching her to take it all in. Tony has finally regained some sanity and opens his eyes to see Gibbs looming above them, his eyes glittering intensity as he gives in to the animal within. Awed by the spectacle of dominating Gibbs, Tony is overcome with the need to feel his power. His hands come up to Kate's ribs, framing her as she rocks forward with the force of each thrust.

Caught up in the moment as if he were the one fucking her, Tony's mouth finds her throat, nipping her hard as he roughly growls, "Mmmnnn... feels so good..."

He finds her breasts next, cupping them as he rolls her nipples roughly until she cries out. "Aahh... yes... yes!" Her body arching back as she brings her throbbing nipple to his mouth. Tony latches on to it, sucking hard as his teeth clamp down and wave after wave of intense pleasure washes through her, ricocheting back and forth between Tony's mouth and Gibbs' hard thrusting cock. Gibbs jerks her back hard one last time, burying himself deep inside her; growling harshly as the explosive climax stuns him. His body stays rigid, gritting his teeth until he is finally able to draw in a ragged breath. His muscles finally release in a tremor that starts in his neck and moves quickly down to his legs, leaving him weak and unable to stand. He leans heavily over Kate's back, pressing them both down onto the couch until Kate is once again trapped in between the two men. None of them have the energy or desire to move and for long minutes and all that can be heard is heavy breathing and occasional moans as they slowly drift back to the awareness of where they are and what just happened.

She lays limply against Tony's chest with Gibbs draped across them both, weighing them down into the cushions. Gibbs finally shifts his weight to the side, giving Kate some room to breathe and get comfortable, but she whimpers softly and pulls him back. "Don't move... not yet..."

He tenderly kisses her shoulder and lowers his weight back onto her, pressing her back into DiNozzo. He groans playfully, having recovered his sense of humor again and teases the man who forever has been changed in his eyes. "So... does this mean you like my Sicilian Pasta?"

Kate giggles tiredly against his neck, but Gibbs isn't so ready to turn their experience into a joke. Without looking up from Kate's shoulder, he raises one hand and gruffly grumbles, "DiNozzo... do... not... make me head slap you..."

Kate giggles again and grabs the raised hand to bring it down under her control. She presses his hand to Tony's chest and covers it with her own. They lay there quiet for a moment unsure how comfortable they are with their new closeness... until Kate makes it perfectly clear.

"It was perfect... all of it... even the pasta." She presses a gentle kiss to Tony's chest, then lifts Gibbs' hand to do the same on his palm. Both men answer with a contented sigh as they relax and let their eyes drift shut.

After napping on the sofa in a jumbled tangle of bodies, Tony had woken first, needing to relieve himself and wondering how he was going to disentangle himself from the other two without waking them. As it worked out, a slow twisting of his hips rotated the pile until he could slip out and Gibbs and Kate landed on their sides in a comfortable position. Tony took care of his business and then returned to watch them sleeping as he found his clothing and slipped it back on.

He covered them with a blanket and then sat there for a while thinking about what had happened. They had gone far beyond the boundaries of co-workers, partners and bosses that evening, but Tony still felt there was an invisible barrier there. They were still a couple and he was... well, what was he exactly? He could definitely say his friendship with Kate had improved immensely. His relationship with Gibbs was certainly on a different plain, but were they friends? Was he now on an equal level with his boss? Or had Gibbs just brought him into a different version of their work dynamic?

Maybe it was all in his head... after all, he had a lot happen and he needed time to process everything. He quietly heads for the door being careful not to wake them as he makes his exit. Once outside he pauses by his car, giving one last look back to the house and knowing he'll never again come here without the memories of tonight. Driving home his mind is strangely blank, which is something that has never happened to him before. He can't recall one movie quote to describe it... not one cinematic reference... not similar scene came to mind. His mind was a blank slate...

As he steps inside his apartment, he stops and looks around her private sanctuary. This was the place he came to be himself... where he didn't have to pretend to be happy all the time. Then it dawns on him... he is happy. He has just experienced something completely new and unique to his world... and it makes him happy.. He lets this thought settle into his brain, not trying to compartmentalize it as he does most things in his life... and a smile slowly creeps onto his face. Maybe that was how he should take their new relationship, as its own entity, and not try to pigeon-hole it into something else. Tony strips down and showers before climbing into bed before he allows his mind to scroll back over the events of the previous evening... and surprisingly he drifts off into a peaceful dreamless sleep.

Over the rest of the weekend things are quiet at the house, Kate and Gibbs having awoken to find Tony gone. At first Kate had worried that he was upset and they should call him... go talk to him; something to ensure he was not upset about their night together. Gibbs had calmed her down, explaining the male prerogative to go into their caves when they needed time to think about something. He knew Tony well enough to know this was going to take him some time to adjust to... and nothing would scare him off quicker than pressuring him to talk about it too soon. Kate reluctantly agreed, but she was still worried. They spent a peaceful weekend lazing around the house and doing some fall yard work, knowing they'd have their answer come Monday morning.

Monday morning seemed to take forever to arrive and Kate found herself curiously anxious to see Tony again. She wasn't sure how Gibbs felt about it, since he rarely showed anything other than his normal steadfast persona at work. She glances over at him as they enter the elevator, wondering if she dared ask him what he was feeling. His eyes stay focused on the door, but he lets out a slight sigh and answers her unspoken question.

"He'll be fine, Kate... don't worry about it."

"But what if...?" She doesn't get a chance to second guess his answer as he suddenly leans over and gives her a quick kiss before the doors open to the bullpen. He walks briskly out ahead of her, leaving her shocked by his kiss... which he'd strictly forbidden at work previous to this morning.

When she finally follows him out, she finds him standing at his desk, looking at it strangely. She stops beside him and is about to speak when he slowly points to her desk. She looks at it and sees a plain white envelope lying there, neatly addressed to her in Tony's distinctive script. She looks to Gibbs' desk and sees an identical envelope addressed to him. She looks from the envelopes to Gibbs and then back before she steps over to grab the one from her desk. She turns it over in her hands, seeing nothing to give her a clue as to its contents. Gibbs picks up his envelope and with a quick glance between them, they tear them open. Reading in unison the identical hand written pages, they don't notice Tony approaching from the back hallway.

He had been restless and eager to get to work this morning after his long weekend of contemplation. He got in just after five o-clock and placed the envelopes on their desks before going down to work out for an hour in the gym. Now freshly showered and ready for business in his trademark Armani suit and imported Italian shoes, he enters the bullpen to see them examining their identical posts.

"Oh, hey guys! Figured things would be hectic today... you know Monday and all." He stops behind them, leaning in to bring his head between theirs as they both turn to look at him in confusion. "Oh, those... well, figured Saturday went pretty well so I thought we could do it again sometime... maybe hang out at my place while I show off more of my culinary skills you seem to like so much."

With a grin and a waggle of his eye brow, Tony turns away and heads back to his desk to begin his day. Gibbs and Kate are still a bit surprised, glancing down at the invitations in their hands once more before looking up to smile at each other. Gibbs gives her a wink and Kate sighs in relief as they have their answer. Tony was not only all right with how their evening had gone, but he appeared to be anxious to repeat it... and soon. Kate folds her invitation back into the envelope as Gibbs does the same and they casually return to their desks, without another word.

Kate takes a moment to sign on her computer, before glancing up to see Tony and Gibbs looking at each other intently. Tony's eyes move over to hers and he gives her one of his DiNozzo Million dollar smiles, "Isn't this just a beautiful day?!"

She can't hold back the happy laugh as she shakes her head and accepts the fact that Tony was probably going to be more obnoxious than ever now. Gibbs just smirks and lowers his head as McGee comes walking off the elevators and heads for his desk.

After putting his backpack down, McGee signs on his computer and then looks up to assess his co-workers. It was not unusual for them to all be in the office before him, but something was definitely different this morning. He looks from one to the other, trying to decide if there was some hidden prank about to be sprung on him again. That was also an uncommon occurrence and he suspiciously glances around his desk in search of the trap. "Okay... what is it? You didn't super glue my keyboard... not exploding foam...?"

Gibbs hides a smirk and picks up his phone on the first ring, glad of the distraction to keep Tim from seeing that his usually stoic boss was a bit too happy this morning. The call is from their dispatcher, advising them of a new case... a seaman found dead at the dock, not far from his ship. Gibbs hangs up the phone and stands up with his usual bark, "Grab your gear!"

He stops beside Tim's desk as the young man grabs his backpack and then gives his desk one last suspicious look. "... and stop looking for goblins, Tim. It's Monday, the sun is shining... and we got a case... what could be wrong?"

McGee starts to follow after his boss as Gibbs moves briskly towards the elevator, but then he catches the conspiratorial glance that passes between Tony and Kate and his steps falter. That was the final clue... Gibbs was too happy, Tony and Kate were getting along... something was definitely up! And knowing from history, their amusement was probably going to be at his expense. He sighs and gives his desk one last worried glance before he hurries to make it into the elevator before the doors close.
