A/N: I've done a similar scenario for a previous year, but I figured you guys wouldn't mind revisiting these characters. Some adult content. Densimber Day 18.

"Wait, maybe this is a bad idea," Kensi said, holding back a little as Deeks stopped in front a glass door marked with embossed black and gold lettering. It read "The Pleasure Chest" and made Kensi want to hide.

"I thought you said it would be fun and a chance to explore new facets of our relationship," Deeks reminded her, quoting almost word-for-word what'd she'd said when suggesting they visit an adult entertainment store. Sometimes his memory was damn annoying.

"What if someone sees us?" She glanced around, like Sam or Callen, or even worse, Hetty, might suddenly appear behind them. Shuddering, Kensi shook her head a few times to dispel that particular thought.

"Kensi, no one we know is going to go to a place like this. Well, maybe aside from my mom, but she's more the hippy sex store type."

"Ew." Kensi knocked his shoulder and grimaced. "Fine, let's go in."

Grinning, Deeks slipped his arm around her back and swung the door open. They were met by a quiet, jingling bell and a young woman in jeans and a relatively modest bustier.

"Welcome to The Pleasure Chest," she greeted them pleasantly. "Can I help you find anything?"

"Uh, I think we're good," Deeks responded, nodding vaguely in the direction of a large lingerie display.

"Ok. Let me know if you change your mind. My name's Becca." She flashed Deeks a smile, turning to straighten some novelty ball gags.

"Is it just me, or was she flirting with you?" Kensi whispered to Deeks as they wandered deeper into the store.

"I think it's probably a requirement when you work in a place like this."

"Speaking from your stripper days, Detective Goodbody?" Letting out a cackle, she stepped between two shelves, and nearly ran into a truly impressive collection of vibrators and other toys, including some she had never seen before.

Deeks tilted his head, one eyebrow raising as he frowned at a bright blue toy with several appendages attached to the base.

"That doesn't seem physically possible," he said, picking up a box and peering at the description. "Ooh, it has nine different settings and interchangeable heads." Turning to Kensi with a massive grin, he gave the box a shake. "We should get it."

"Yeah, that is not happening," Kensi said firmly, tugging the box from his hands and returning it to the shelf.

"What, don't you want to experience pleasure beyond imagination?" he asked, speaking directly in Kensi's ear. It sent a shiver up her spine.

"I thought that's what you promised me last night." Letting her gaze run over him, Kensi eyed him speculatively. "Actually, I'd like to see you in one of those." She pointed to a pair of silk and lace boxers, which were helpfully displayed in all their glory on a male mannequin, complete with a pronounced bulge.

Deeks considered it, apparently unbothered by her suggestion. He had worn a sexy Santa outfit before, so she figured it wasn't all that surprising.

"Mm, I could pull it off," he decided. "And maybe you could get that one." He nodded to a aqua set that was almost entirely made of lace and had a plunging neckline.

Kensi glanced back at Deeks, who was casually spinning a pair of leopard print handcuffs on one finger.

"Where did you get those?" she asked, completely distracted from the lingerie.

"Over there, next to the underwear for two," he explained.

"The underwear for-?" Before Kensi could finish her question, a loud female voice called out.

"Brett, they went this way. Hurry!"

"Oh my god, that's not who I think it is, right?" Kensi demanded, looking at Deeks in horror.

"It can't be," he assured her, as two people barreled into the short aisle. Deeks turned away, like he could hide their presence by pretending they weren't there.

"Justin, Melissa!" Paulina Turner exclaimed, tugging her husband Brett after her. She was dressed in a short leather skirt and corset top while Brett wore a more subtle outfit. Kensi groaned, not fully believing that their covers' ex-neighbors were actually there.

Paulina's blonde hair and slightly wild eyes were unmistakable though, as was her voice. Without waiting for them to reply, Paulina latched onto Deeks' arm.

"It is so good to see you after so long!" she continued enthusiastically. "Isn't it, Honey?" she glanced back at Brett, who grinned and nodded.

"Definitely. We think about you two a lot," he shared.

"Oh, that's, uh, that's great to hear," Deeks managed, shooting Kensi a desperate look. He shifted into her suddenly, chuckling uncomfortably as Paulina pressed against him, running her hand up his arm.

She looked delighted by what she found.

"Ooh, Justin, you've been working out. Feel his arm, Brett!"

Before they could move, Brett reached over and gave Deeks' arm a good squeeze.

"Nice work. You both look fantastic." He gave Kensi a knowing smile and slipped his arm around Paulina's waist. "You have to stay in shape if you want to stay in this game, if you know what I mean. It's not so easy to get in those swings anymore, is it?"

Deeks chuckled awkwardly and ran a hand though his hair. Both Brett and Paulina watched him with great interest.

"Yeah, definitely feeling my age," Deeks agreed, unconsciously twisting the furry handcuffs between his fingers.

"Those are nice," Brett commented, pointing at the cuffs. "But I'd recommend getting some nice custom leather ones. They last longer and give it an extra special feel."

"Definitely," Paulina agreed, shaking her head emphatically. "We have five pairs. My favorite are black and red. You should come try them sometime." She winked suggestively at Deeks, who backed as far as he could into the lingerie rack.

"That's a really nice offer, but we're incredibly busy right now," Kensi interceded.

"Oh." She looked briefly disappointed, but quickly got over it, excitedly patting Deeks' shoulder. "Well, maybe we can show you around the shop if you're new to the store. Brett, let's show them our favorite vibrator."

"No, that's really not…" Deeks started to say, trailing off when Brett walked off anyway. "Ok then."

He was back in a minute, carrying the box that Deeks had jokingly suggested earlier.

"This thing is like magic." He offered to Deeks, who took it reluctantly.

"The second setting is really nice," Paulina added excitedly. "We could give you a demonstration. Our apartment is just a few blocks away-"

"And we really need to go," Kensi interrupted, tugging on Deeks' arm. "Sorry, we have to go pick up our dog from the spa."

"Yeah, the spa. Monty loves the spa." Deeks shook his head at her hastily invented excuse. Gabbing hold of his arm, Kensi tugged him with her, and away from Paulina, who held on until the last possible second.

"It was really good seeing you again!" she called after them. "We come here every Saturday if you change your mind."

"Oh my god," Kensi gasped once they were outside. "I forgot how weird they were." She shuddered.

"Yeah, Paulina is definitely a hands-on person. It's too bad we couldn't get those boxers before we left," he said.

"Deeks, you can't seriously be thinking about those after what just happened."

"What, I would have looked really sexy," Deeks insisted with a smirk.

"I love you, Baby." Kensi kissed his nose. "But we are never going back to this place again or one like it."

"Fair enough. What if I find them on Amazon?"

"Oh my god, you're ridiculous," Kensi sighed.

"That's not a no," he pointed out cheerfully, grabbing his phone.

A/N: As you might guess, I've never been to such an establishment, so I'm working off of the combined information provided by google, various shows, and a sister. The name is borrowed from a store in Illinois.

Also, apparently underwear for two are a thing. My sister and BIL felt the need to show me after they got some as a gag gift.
