Chapter 4

Once at Gibbs' house, they were barely in the door with it shut behind them before he had her pinned against it, his mouth once more on hers. Gibbs hooked one hand behind her neck and the other he let roam over her soft curves. Leann felt the fire building in her veins. Never before had a man made her feel the way she felt in Gibbs arms. Letting her hands glide over his shoulders, she pushed his jacket off and let it fall at their feet. Once his jacket was out of the way, she dragged his polo and t-shirt over his head until she could splay her hands across his firm bare chest.

During Leann's exploration of his shoulders and chest, Gibbs hands were not idle. He had unbuttoned and removed her blouse and was exploring her neck and cleavage with his lips and teeth. He nipped at a spot just below her ear and then soothed it with his tongue making her whimper with pleasure. Moving away from the door, he pulled Leann as close as he could and moved them toward the stairs. As they stumbled up the stairs and to his bedroom, they continued to remove clothing and explore newly exposed skin so that by the time Leann felt the backs of her legs come into contact with the bed, the only thing remaining between them was his boxer briefs.

Gently Gibbs lifted Leann and placed her in the middle of the bed then followed her down, pressing his body close to hers. Taking her lips with his, their tongues battled for dominance as he swept his hand over her breasts, across her stomach and then between her legs to cup her softly.

"Jethro!" she cried out, arching her back to press herself more firmly into his hand.

Slowly he began to rub his fingers through her wet folds as he kissed his way down her neck over the curve of each breast until he could take a rosy nipple into his mouth to nip and suckle. Leann threaded her fingers through his soft silver locks to hold him at her breast as she squirmed beneath him seeking more contact.

"Jethro, please, I need you, all of you," Leann pleaded. Not able to hold back any longer, Gibbs rid himself of his boxers, moved over her and buried himself to the hilt in one smooth thrust.

He stilled for a moment to let her adjust to him and then angling his thrusts so that the base of his shaft came into contact with her bundle of nerves with every stroke, Gibbs intertwined their hands and brought them up to rest on either side of Leann's head.

"Look at me," he growled and Leann opened her emerald green eyes to lock with his saphire blue.

They didn't look away from each other as their pace increased and Leann's climax hit her like a tidal wave and she screamed his name. The tightening of her inner muscles around him, dragged Gibbs over the edge with her and with a shout of her name, he emptied himself deep inside her. After several long minutes of holding each other and enjoying the aftershocks, Gibbs rolled to lay beside her and pulled her against him.

"Wow! I have never felt that way before," Leann murmured into his neck, her hand resting over his heart and Gibbs couldn't help the swell of male pride her words evoked in him.

"Never thought I would find another woman that would make my blood flame like Shannon did, but damned was I wrong. You make me feel like a teenager again," he said and Leann looked up to see a smug grin plastered across his face. She didn't know what to say about his comment and so she remained silent and after several minutes Gibbs looked down at her.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned Shannon," he said and kissed her gently.

"Jethro, I'm not angry, I just didn't know what to say. I don't want to replace Shannon, I know I never could and I don't want to try and make you forget your life with her. I know you will always love her, but I also know that you have enough love in your heart for me as well. If you want to share memories of her and Kelly with me, I will gladly listen or if you just want to hold them close to your heart that's okay too. All I ask is that you not shut me out or push me away."

"All I can promise you Lea is that I'll try. I don't exactly have a good track record but I love you and I will do my best to make you happy."

"I want you to be happy too Jethro."

"You make me happy Lea."

"Your best is all anyone can ever ask of you Jethro and it takes two people to make a relationship work. I think as long as we both try our best and accept each other we'll be just fine."

"I love you Lea," Gibbs said tightening his arms around her.

"I love you too Jethro," she answered and sent up a prayer of thanks for stakeouts, headaches and avoidance as she fell asleep with a smile on her face and the man of her dreams in her arms.
