Chapter 2
"Go on up and take a shower, I'll order some food and then I'll lay out a t-shirt and some sweatpants for you to borrow," Gibbs told Leann as he let her enter the house ahead of him.
"Thanks," she replied and trudged up the stairs to the bathroom. Her brain was so muddled by the throbbing headache, that the thought of arguing about going home never even crossed her mind.
Stripping off her sweaty clothes, Leann stepped under the hot spray of the shower and tried to relax. The hot water helped some, but she knew from experience that the headache would have to run its course. After washing her hair and body, she stepped out of the shower to find two fluffy towels and the promised t-shirt ans sweatpants stacked on the edge of the sink closest to the door. After drying off and getting dressed, Leann made her way back down stairs where she found the food had arrived.
"Feel any better?" Gibbs asked as he motioned for her to take a seat beside him on the couch.
"A little bit, but the headache will probably linger for a while," she told him as she picked up a container of her favorite shrimp lomein.
"Migraine?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm on medication to help prevent them, but occasionally I still get one."
They lapsed into companionable silence then as they each finished their food and thought about their day. After they had finished eating, Gibbs cleared away the empty containers and then went back into the living room.
"Come on," he said holding his hand out to Leann. Looking up at him in question, she took his hand and he pulled her to her feet. He pushed her ahead of him on the stairs, massaging her shoulders as they made their way up and into the master bedroom.
Before she even realized what she was doing, Leann had knelt on the bed, Gibbs behind her and he once more began to massage her tense muscles both in her neck and in her back. Instinctively, Leann lay down on her stomach allowing Gibbs better access to her sore back. As her body relaxed and her pain eased, she drifted off to sleep.
Leann wasn't sure how much time passed, but when she awoke with a start, she found that she was not alone in the bed. Gibbs had stretched out beside her and had one arm draped casually over her waist. As she stirred, his hold on her tightened and he pulled her back against him.
"Go back to sleep," he murmured, his warm breath washing over her ear and making a current of pleasure sweep up her spine. She snuggled even closer then and as he had commanded went back to sleep.
The next time she awoke, Gibbs still held her firmly in his embrace, but this time Leann's mind was clearer and she quickly got up from the bed all too aware of their intimate position and the desire it caused in her. When she looked back at him, he was awake and smiling slightly but he didn't say a word as Leann slipped out the door, down the stairs and out of the house.
