Jack couldn't get her mind off of the moment she had shared with Gibbs down in the lab. She was really caught off guard that he let her touch him and then held her hand. So caught off that when she realized it was happening she had to get up from her chair. It was just a small gesture, but it gave her butterflies and made her nervous. She didn't have the best relationship history and it had been a while since she had been with a man. And boy was Gibbs "a man." He dominated a room when he walked in it and Jack found it extremely sexy. God, she needed to get laid and very soon. If nothing else she guessed she could always use her toys that were in her drawer next to her bed. She couldn't believe she was getting this turned on by just a few seconds of holding hands. Jack Sloan had so many fantasies of her and Special Agent Gibbs. The one she thought about often was him pushing her up against his boat, taking her hard and fast. A light knock interrupted her thoughts. Of course, it was Gibbs.

"Jack, you alright? You look a little flushed. Gibbs said with a small smirk on his face. Surely he had no clue as to what she was thinking about.

"Yea, just a little warm I suppose. What can I help you with?" Sloan asked trying to quickly change the subject. "I hear the case had a good ending."

"Yea. I would like to think so." Gibbs said quietly. He hoped her face was flushed because she was thinking about him and the moment they had shared earlier. "So you heading out? Vance gave us the rest of the day off. Wanted to see if you wanted to pick up some food and go back to my place to eat? The rest of team plus Palmer and Ducky are coming as well." Gibbs asked her with that grin that touched his eyes. A smile that she loved seeing.

"Sounds good. What can I bring?" Jack was hoping this would be the first of many with Gibbs, but she wanted him to take the lead. She wanted to feel wanted.

Gibbs felt like he couldn't stop smiling when he was around Jack. He hadn't been this attracted to a woman in years. He wanted to show Agent Sloan exactly how a woman like her should be treated. He had a few fantasies of them as well. Like her up against his boat.

"Would you be interested in going with me to the store to help me pick out the food for the meal? Could drop your car by your place first if you wanted too?" Gibbs was hoping this was going to be the beginning of something beautiful.

"And how would I get back home tonight, Agent Gibbs?" Jack had the biggest smile on her face when she asked.

Gibbs smirk sure was sexy. "Let's just see how the rest of the afternoon and night goes, but I'm sure Ducky wouldn't mind dropping you off. Gibbs winked at her. Jack knew she blushed again, but this time 50 shades of red. God, this man…..

Gibbs followed Jack to her apartment. He was crazy about her. He felt like he could open up to her and tell her anything. She was easy to talk too and it felt like she really cared what he had to say. She had respect for him and he hadn't felt that since Shannon. He found Jack very attractive. He often found himself wondering what kind of lover she would be in bed. Gibbs pictured her to be very passionate and demanding in bed just like she was anywhere else. It turned him on tremendously. He wanted to run his hands all over her body and kiss every scar on her back. Show her how a real woman like her needed to be treated. Show her how amazing she really was. Gibbs felt his cock tighten in his pants. He knew he had to solve this problem before he got out of the car. He needed to think about any and everything other than Jack Sloan so he could calm down.

Jack was out of her car and noticed Gibbs still in his. "Well, aren't you going to come in with me?"

Gibbs didn't say anything. He wasn't sure he needed to be alone with her right now.

Once at Jack's front door, Gibbs noticed the door had been kicked in. They both pulled out their guns, checked the house, but it was clear. Gibbs could see the emotion written all over Jack's face. She was one of the strongest woman that he knew.

"Talk to me Jack," Gibbs said as he pulled her in his arms. God she felt so good.

"I can't. Deal. With this after everything that has already happened. My house. My privacy. Everything that I cherish has been demolished."

"It's okay. You don't always have to be so strong." Gibbs pulled back a little and looked into her eyes. He saw something in her eyes that he hoped was being seen from her view in his eyes. Lust, want, need, passion.

"Pot, Kettle there, Special Agent Gibbs." Sloan huskily whispered close to Gibbs ear. She was so close to him and those damn crystal blue eyes. She could get lost in them. Gibbs made her forget all the bad in the world. Even in this moment, with her apartment destroyed.

"Maybe. Careful there, Agent Sloan." Gibbs said as he backed her against the wall.

"Or what," Sloan started to say, but before she could finish Gibbs lips were on hers. He kissed her hard and boy did she respond. Jack wrapped her legs around his waist and Gibbs grounded his hard cock up against her. She kissed him back just as hard. She played with the hair on the back of his neck.

Gibbs hands went to her breast and his lips began exploration on her neck. It was in that moment, Gibbs realized that now wasn't the right time. She was vulnerable and upset. When Gibbs finally got her in bed, he wanted it to be because they both were ready for it and wanted it. Damn, he hated to stop something that felt so unbelievably good and right, but he had to.

Gibbs slowed the kiss and pulled back slowly. "We need to stop this, Jack, before it goes any further."

Jack looked a little hurt. "So you don't want this, us, to happen?"

"Hell yea, I do." To prove that he meant it, Gibbs kissed her hard again. "Can't you tell how much I want you?" Gibbs rubbed his cock up against her. "Jack, you are an extremely beautiful woman and I want nothing more than to show you just how how beautiful you are, but if I do, I would be taking advantage of you. You're venerable right now. When we do this," Gibbs motioned back and forth between them, "I want it to be because we both want it and are both ready."

Sloan was disappointed. "I hate to say this, but you're right Gibbs. Just know that I do want this to happen."

Gibbs kissed her again to reassure her. "So do I Jack. We will talk later okay. Right now lets deal with talking to the cops. Then we can go to my place if you still want too." Gibbs kissed her lightly on the lips on more time. "Why don't you grab you some clothes? You can spend the weekend with me if you want to." The thought of spending all weekend with Jack brought a smile to his face. He didn't want it to be just sex. He wanted it all with her, date her, spend time with her, spoil her, and just hold her. They needed to talk especially after that kiss.

Gibbs thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Jack hollering out his name. Gibbs rushed down to her room where she was being attacked and hit over and over. Gibbs tackled the intruder who managed to get several good licks on Gibbs. Two blows to the ribs and two in the face. Gibbs managed to get him down on the floor and cuffed by the time the cops arrived.

Jack was still lying on the floor. He sat down beside her and pulled her in his arms. This was how the team, Ducky, and Palmer found them a few minutes later. One of Jack's neighbors heard all the commotion and called NCIS. She said that she thought Jack was in trouble.

"Heck of a way to spend the afternoon off Boss," McGee said as he walked in the room.

"Guess this means supper is canceled," Torres said trying to lighten the mood.

"Bishop," Gibbs said.

"Gladly," Bishop said as she Gibbs slapped Torres in the back of the head.

Now that got a laugh out of everyone. Even though everyone was in the room, Gibbs nor Jack had let go of each other. It made Ducky smile. He had picked up on their chemistry the first time he had seen them in the same room together.

"Alright, everyone out. Let me check these two out to check the damage."Ducky said.

Everyone cleared out and went into the living room and kitchen.

"Why don't we try and clean this mess up for Jack." Bishop said as they all busied themselves cleaning.

Ducky went out and grabbed his doctor bag and returned back to Jack's room. They were still in the same spot and Jack was holding on to Gibbs tightly.

"Why don't you let Ducky check you out first." Gibbs lifted her up and carried her to her bed.

"Gibbs, can you stay close? You make me feel safe."

Gibbs didn't say anything, but grabbed her hand and set down next to her on the bed.

The exchange between these two made Ducky's heart swell with happiness. The pain these two had endured in their lifetime had been more than one could handle, but they were both so strong. Happiness and love was something they both deserved.

Jack had a slight concussion, a few bruised ribs, and a very bruised neck. "You will be fine, my dear. Just sore for a few days. Good thing we have a long weekend." Ducky chuckled and looked over at Gibbs to let him know it was his turn.

"Im fine, Ducky."

"You may be, but i still want to look you over."

Gibbs knew he wouldn't win this argument so he removed his shirt to let Ducky see the bruises that had already formed on his ribs.

Jack noticed how fit Gibbs was. God, sex on wheels. Other than the bruised ribs and few bruises on his face, Gibbs was fine.

By the time Ducky finished up with Gibbs and Jack, the team almost had the apartment straightened back up.

Ducky heard their conversation as he entered the kitchen.

"How about Slibbs," he heard Torres say.

"How about you better not let Slibbs know you are talking about them," Ducky said.

"Nick and Ellie why don't you two go pick up some pizzas and beer? We will finish cleaning up while y'all are gone." Ducky had been looking forward to tonight. Maybe they could still enjoy it together.

Gibbs had moved to sit up against the headboard. He pulled Jack in his arms and she was laying against his chest. She was rubbing small circles on his chest.

"Where have you been my whole life?" Sloan whispered to him. The tears were starting to fall and she felt her breaking point coming. The past several months had been rough. "That was my ex husband that broke in. He use to beat me when we were married. He was released from prison a couple of weeks ago. I just found out about it a few days ago."

Gibbs pulled her in closer. There was nothing he could say to make it any better. All he could do was just hold her tighter and reassure as they explored further that he wouldn't treat her like that.

A light knock on the door interrupted them. "We have pizza and beer. Care to join us?" Ducky asked.

Gibbs was sore, but could manage and knew Jack could as well. The whole team was in Jack's apartment. It was moments like these over the years that kept him sane. They were a family.

The all chit chatted over pizza and beers. Leave it to Torres to bring out the music. Torres, Bishop, Palmer, and McGee danced to the cupids shuffle. Even Ducky joined in.

"They sure know how to cheer someone up." Sloan said as she leaned into Gibbs. He had his arm propped on the back of the couch. "And you sure know how to make a woman feel special. Gibbs I…" The song changing interrupted what she was about to say.

It was a slow song. Jack wanted nothing more than to dance with Gibbs, but she knew the pain would be a little too much for that right now.

"Don't worry. When you get better in a few days, I will dance with you." It was amazing how well Gibbs could read her. She knew this was just the beginning for them and they hadn't even talked yet, but she already felt for him in a way she never had anyone else. She rested her head on Gibbs chest and listened the lyrics of the song and the sound of his heart beat. The way he was pulling his fingers through her hair was so relaxing. It was enjoyable to watch everyone interact. Torres and Bishop had great chemistry. Jack was more than sure that they were together. She would have to remember to mention it to Bishop to see what she said.

Around 9:00, everyone decided to head on out. It had been fun to laugh and take their minds off of the past few months. Good thing they had a four day weekend.

Gibbs and Jack decided to go back to his place. Once they arrived, Gibbs carried her stuff up to his room. There was no way he was letting her out of his sight. Gibbs had a huge tub in his bathroom. He decided to run Jack a nice warm bubble bath with epsom salt. Jack had followed Gibbs up to his room. She was sitting on his bed stretching her neck. Gibbs could tell she was hurting. He crawled back behind her and began to massage her shoulders. He kissed her neck lightly. "Can I remove your shirt?" Gibbs asked quietly. Once she nodded, he removed her shirt. Thank goodness she a spaghetti strap shirt on under it. Gibbs continued his massage for a few more minutes. He kissed on her neck a few times. "You're water should be ready."

Gibbs lifted her up and carried her into the bathroom. "Trust me, okay."

"Always," she whispered. Gibbs removed his pants and shirt first. He stood there in just his boxers.

"Still trust me?" He asked gently. Jack just nodded. Gibbs removed her tank top and pants next. He stepped into the tub. "Put your hands on my shoulders." Jack did what he asked with no hesitation. Gibbs loved the fact that so trusted him so easily after everything she has been through. He helped her ease down in the tub. Then, he slid down behind her and pulled her back against her chest. The say quietly just enjoying each other's company. Her in her matching bra and sexy panties and him in his turquoise boxer briefs.

"This okay," he asked after a few minutes. Jack had been quiet most of the evening, but he understood.

"It's more than okay Gibbs." Jack said as she pulled his arms tighter around her middle. Gibbs pulled himself up on the black of the tub and began his massaging again. Jack moaned. She didn't care how sore she was or what had happened. She wanted Leroy Jethro Gibbs in a way she had never wanted anyone else.

"Jack, no one should ever put their hands on you like this." Gibbs kissed her bruises on her neck. "Hands are made for holding, touching, massaging." Gibbs continued his massaging on her neck appreciating the moans coming from her.

"If you ever decide to retire from being an agent, you should definitely go into massage therapy." Jack had only been with this man for a few hours this evening, a few crazy hours, and he had already made her feel so special. She could tell he really cared for her. This is something she wanted from a man for so long. She regretted that she had denied her feelings for him for so long now.

"Glad you are enjoying it, Jack. I'm going to give you some privacy so you can bathe. I'll be across the hall taking a shower. I'm just going to go grab your bags." Gibbs returned with her shower bag and suitcase. "Can I kiss you again?" Gibbs asked quietly.

"Yes, please." Jack just couldn't get enough of this s man, but what about his rules. Rule #12-Never date a coworker.

Gibbs took a cold shower. He needed to calm down. This woman drove him crazy. He wanted her badly, but he knew she was sore, vulnerable, upset. He enjoyed her company, enjoyed holding her in his arms, enjoyed be near her, enjoyed talking to her, and especially kissing her. God, her lips were amazing. Gibbs heard a thump so he decided he needed to get out to see if she needed any help getting dressed. Gibbs threw on some boxers and sweatpants.

Jack had managed to get out and dressed. It was a little painful, but she could managed. Maybe she should just go home. She heard Gibbs knock on the door. There he stood shirtless. On second thought, maybe she should stay. Dang, building boats must be an excellent workout if it gives you abs like that.

"How are you feeling," Gibbs asked.

"I'm okay." Sloan knew it came out harsher than it should have. "Look Gibbs, maybe I should just go home. I mean don't you have rules about co-workers dating. I mean why do you care so much anyways? Once you get what you want, you'll just do the same thing every other man has done to me."

Gibbs was a little hurt that she would even say that much less think it. "Jack, I know you've been through a lot, but don't doubt us before we even give it a try. I feel like I can open up to you and I've already told you things I've never told anyone. Truth is, I'm crazy about you Jack." Gibbs wrapped his arms around her. "I know you have a lot of baggage as far as men go, but so do I. You know I would never treat you like that." Gibbs kissed her lips softly. "As far as the rules go, I want to show you something." Gibbs took her hand and led her down to his basement. He pulled out a tin box with little pieces of paper in it.

Jack saw the top piece of paper. She read it out loud. "Rule 51-SOMETIMES YOU'RE WRONG."

"I've wasted a lot of time being upset with the past. I will always hold Shannon and Kelly close to my heart, but it's time to move on. Time for me to be happy with someone who will love me like I did Shannon and she did me."

"Gibbs, I know you wouldn't treat me like every other man has. I'm sorry I even said that. Truth is, I'm crazy about you too. It scares me because we just started this a few hours ago."

Gibbs gave her that smile she loved. Sure maybe we just admitted how we fell to each other just now, but you and I have been dancing around each other since you knocked on my door that rainy night."

"True." Jack said laughingly.

Gibbs back her up against his boat and kissed her hard. Sloan wanted nothing more than him to take her right then and there, but knew it would only make the pain worse. Gibbs pulled back so they both catch their breath.

"Did you know how many fantisies I've had of you doing this very thing!" Jack whispered quietly as she rested of her forehead afainst his.

"Probably about as many as I've had, but in mine we were doing a lot more than kissing." Gibbs said aa he winked at her.

Gibbs knew she needed a few days to recover from her bruises and soreness. He picked her up and carried her up to his bed.

"You do know you don't have to carry me everywhere don't you." Jack said as he helped her get comfortable in his bed.

"Yea, but I kinda like doing it," Gibbs whispered as he got comfortable beside her.

"Gibbs, thank you." Sloan knew she didn't have to say it, but she wanted him to know she appreciated being taken care of today. "You have made me feel safe today."

"I can keep you safe. Your ex won't hurt you again," Gibbs told her as her cupped her chin. "My question is once you feel better about everything that has happened the past few months, what will happen to what we've started?"

"What is it that we have started, Special Agent Gibbs?" Sloan was teasing, but she loved seeing this side of Gibbs. Talkative, caring, all his walls were down with her, and she was enjoying every moment.

"The start of a beautiful relationship is what we've started, Jackelyn Sloan." Gibbs kissed her again. He pulled back before things went any further. "Let's get some rest."

Not sure if I will continue or not. I really like the idea of Gibbs and Sloan together. Hope we get to see some action in the next few episodes. They have such great on screen chemistry. Let me know what you think. Sorry if there are mistakes.
