"My door's unlocked." Gibbs told Tony as the younger agent walked away from the scene of the explosion that Jane Doe had caused at her company.

"I know." Tony told him with a smirk as he continued to walk without stopping. He thought about staying at Gibbs' all day when Kate wouldn't offer him a place to stay while the boiler at his place was being repaired, but after his talk with Abby that afternoon, he decided that maybe she'd allow him to sleep over at her apartment for the night and he'd go to Gibbs' place the next night instead.

He got into his car and took out his cell phone, texting Abby. "On my way. See you soon." He quickly flipped his phone shut and started his car before putting his seatbelt on. Just as he was about to put the car in drive, he heard his phone chime with a text from Abby.

"Abort. Tim is here. He surprised me. Rain check?"

Tony let out a sigh before he texted her back. "See you at work."

She responded with a smiley face and Tony tossed his phone into the passenger seat before driving to Gibbs' house.


A week later, Tony sat at his desk in the bullpen, eating a nutrition bar as Kate carried a pretty big piece of evidence into the office. Not quite his usual choice for a meal, however that morning, Kate commented on his eating habits as he chowed down on a donut for breakfast. At first, Tony didn't think anything of it as he never really paid attention to his weight and he thought he always looked good. But after a few more comments from his colleague, he tightened his belt to try and hide a bit of his gut before they headed down to a new crime scene.

"It's okay. I've got it, Tony. Don't you worry. Wouldn't wanna disturb your lunch." Kate said sarcastically as she made it to her desk with the victim's computer tower with no help at all from him.

"You got me thinking, Kate." Tony said as he stood from his desk to walk over to her, ignoring the fact that she was annoyed with him for not helping her. "Maybe I should improve my diet."

Kate looked at the bar in his hand. "When are you gonna start?"

"What do you call this?" He asked with a smirk, waving the bar in the air.

"Uh….bad things masquerading as something good for you." She told him.

"It's a nutrition bar." He responded with a chuckle. "It says so on the label."

He then proceeded to receive a lecture from Agent Todd on what actually goes into one of those things and he was left, once again, feeling uneducated and unaccomplished.

"What are you saying?" He asked her when she finished reading the ingredients to him and revealing to him that what he was eating was 98% artificial flavor and just pure sugar.

"So I hear Egan's computer is waiting to get up close and personal with me." Abby interrupted their conversation as she entered the bull pen and went straight to Kate's desk to check out the computer tower that sat on top of it.

"Be gentle. I'm sure Tony will be more than happy to lug this downstairs for you." Kate said with a smug grin. "He's feeling healthy today." She smiled at him.

Tony sent the same smile back to Kate before going around behind Abby to lift up the computer tower. He gently pressed his chest against the dark-haired woman's back and spoke almost directly into her ear. "No problem."

Abby smiled, turning her head to the side a bit so he could see her smile as she purposefully brushed her ass against him behind her. "Thanks, Tony."

After some more talk about the victim and the nature of the phone call that alerted the authorities about the stabbing of the victim, Tony and Abby finally made their way downstairs to her lab with the computer.

Tony began to struggle to keep the computer tower up whilst on the elevator with her. The longer he held it, the heavier it became and he started to wonder if Kate was correct about his lack of being in shape.

"Need my help?" Abby asked him with a smirk though she stood slightly in front of him in the elevator so he could not see her face. But she definitely heard him struggling behind her.

"No, no. I got it." He sighed. "Normally, I'd like to do other things with you on an elevator." He half-joked.

"Oh. No. This is hot." She said with a bit of slight sarcasm, her smile never going away.

Soon, the elevator doors opened and they both stepped off it. Tony carried the tower all the way into Abby's office and almost had to drop it down onto her desk, but he barely made it.

"Finally!" He let out an exasperated breath. "Time alone with you. Now we can talk."

"About what?" Abby asked as she stepped behind her desk to get started on the victim's computer.

"That raincheck. I'm free tonight."

"Are you keeping your nights open for me, Tony?"

"No. I just happen to be free tonight. And my boiler's finally fixed, so you can finally come and see my place." Tony told her.

"Mmm, I'll have to check my calendar." She teased him with a smirk. As she looked up at him, she noticed that his expression was almost desperate but with a hint of annoyance and she laughed. "Alright, alright. I'll text you what time I'm coming over….Maybe I'll bring my Chastity belt."

"No, DEFINITELY bring the Chastity belt." He demanded. "And Kate if you can." He joked before Abby picked up a pen from her desk and playfully threw it at him. He tried to duck but still got hit with it as he laughed and headed for the exit.


"What do you mean you told McGee we were having sex?" Tony asked, almost in a panic that this would get out to Gibbs if McGee knew.

"Relax, Tony." Abby said as she set the bag down that she brought with her to Tony's place that night. "All I said was that I had this casual thing with a guy who was in town tonight and things may lead to sex. I didn't use any names." She chuckled as she turned to face him in her long, black trench coat that was covered in gothic, silver buttons.

"And he was okay with that?" Tony asked her as he shut his apartment door, locking it behind him.

"Yup. Seemed to be." She bounced a little with a happy grin, her pigtails bouncing with her.

"What's in the bag? Did you bring the, uh-"

"Patience, Tony. This is going to be our last night together. We don't need to rush it." She told him as she took a few steps closer to him and placed her hands on his sides. "Though a kiss hello wouldn't hurt." She told him as his head dropped to look at her hands on him. She reached her right hand up to take his chin, lifting it so she had better access to his lips and she softly kissed him, locking their lips together.

The taste of her lipstick brought back memories from their first night and Tony tried to deepen the kiss before Abby pulled away to break it, causing him to squirm, yet again, for her.

"Give me a tour of the place." She told him before turning her back to him and walking around his little living room area.

He kicked himself for feeling so desperate for her, but shook it off with a smile and happily gave her the grand tour of his place, which thankfully for him, didn't take too long considering his apartment wasn't too big to begin with.

"It's not nearly as cool as yours, but I've been thinking about moving recently anyways." He told her once they reached the last stop of the tour….the circle back to the living room.

"It's sweet." She softly smiled at him. "Not at all how I pictured it, actually."

"How did you picture it?" He wondered, though he was sure he'd regret asking her that.

"I had two scenarios in my mind." She admitted.

"And they were…?" Tony egged her on for an answer.

"Either a very sloppy, unclean apartment. Or a very sleazy bachelor pad." She told him the truth.

"This isn't a bachelor pad?" He asked her.

"Not exactly." She softly chuckled. "But it's nice. It's perfect. I like that sometimes you still surprise me."

"Can I see what's under this jacket now?" He asked her as he stepped close enough to take hold of one of the ties on her trench coat.

"Hm…Maybe." She took one of his hands and guided it up her mouth before she made him trace her dark maroon lips with his forefinger.

"Don't do it." Tony told her, already knowing what her next move would be and knowing that she would have him squirming again if she did. "Don't-Ah! Mmm—kay." He tried his best not to get hard right then as the forensic scientist took the agent's finger into her mouth and sliding it to the back of her throat. Tony let out a groan as he watched her do that and quickly averted his eyes to stop himself from making a mess in his pants right then and there. "You really did it." He said as his eyes were hooked onto the ceiling above them. "You're killing me here, Abs."

The woman chuckled and pulled his finger out of her mouth with a soft hum. "Tony, you are too easy." She smiled before untying her trench coat and opening it for him to see the dark red and black lingerie that she had on, accompanied by a leather harness that wrapped around her throat three times like one of her chokers. A single leather strap from it slid down the center of her cleavage from her neck, and hugged her loosely just above her belly button. The harness had a line of holes down the center of its leather and each hole was lined with bright silver eyelet rings. This covered her crimson bra embroidered with black roses and the panties that she wore which matched the bra with a line of lace just above the pale woman's hipbones. The underwear had a leather harness just like the top harness dangling from the sides and resting upon Abby's thighs.

Tony finally looked down from the ceiling to see what she had on and he bit one of his own knuckles. "You…are…gorgeous." He said slowly as if still trying to process the fact that her body was real and not just in another one of his dreams. "And oh….so so sexy." He shook his head in disbelief as his eyes roamed her body.

"Now you." She told him. "Take that off." She pointed up and down at his baggy button down shirt and jeans. "I wanna see some skin."
