A/N: Kensi and Deeks enjoy some alone time on Christmas. Some adult content.

Kensi sighed as Deeks pulled his truck in front of a small cabin, decked out with small twinkle lights and a few decorations. With a dusting of fresh snow on the roof, it looked very close to a real gingerbread house. It wasn't as close to the resort and attractions since it was a privately owned house, but it meant they could stay for a week for the same price as renting a cabin directly.

"I forgot how beautiful it is here," she said, turning in time to see Deeks' smile. Over the last few years, they hadn't made it up to Mammoth at all. It was especially welcome after all the stress and disappointment of last year.

"It is pretty perfect," Deeks agreed. "Come on, let's go in. There's a hot tub calling my name."

He took her hand as they walked along the salted path to the front door, which bore a holly and fir tree wreath. Deeks punched in the the security code, toting their bags in as they walked into a small entryway.

While Deeks went to grab another load from the truck, she explored the rest of the house. In the den, she found a small tree decorated with silver and blue icicle ornaments and garland and a collection of blankets, books, and games in baskets next to a fireplace.

Kensi was sure they'd make good use of the fire, but didn't know if they'd get around to enjoying the games or books. It was a nice gesture though.

Grabbing the small cooler they'd brought with, Kensi moved on to the kitchen. Like most of the rooms, it was small, but nicely furnished. On the table, there was a gift basket filled with fruit, cheese, and chocolate, along with a note that read,

Merry Christmas Kensi and Marty,

We provided a complimentary fruit basket, champagne, and dinner to get your vacation off to a good start.

We hope you enjoy your stay and the holidays.

The Wegmans

There appeared to be an entire chicken dinner, with rolls and dessert included in the fridge and a few meals worth of sandwich fixings. Grabbing a salted chocolate caramel from the basket, Kensi wandered back out to the front of the house.

Deeks was bent in front of the fireplace, his hair flopping into his as he concentrated on lighting a pile of kindling. She was overwhelmed by a rush of affection for him and spent a minutes just watching him work. It had been so long since she'd taken the time to appreciate the way he moved, the gentle strength of his hands.

When he had a nice little fire going, Kensi crept up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist as he rose.

"Hey." He pulled her into his side, kissing her temple with a sigh.

"Hi. The owners left us dinner and other treats," she told him.

"Oh, yeah, I might have mentioned that we haven't been on a real vacation in a few years when I made the reservations," Deeks said with a shrug. "And several reviewers mentioned that the Wegmans always go above and beyond to make sure their renters have a pleasant experience."

"You really did think of everything, didn't you?"

"I tried. Is it too much?"

Kensi was vaguely astounded that he'd think she might have a problem with him creating an extremely romantic getaway. Rising up in her toes, she kissed him softly, lingering to show her appreciation.

"It's perfect," she said, threading her fingers through his hair. "Thank you, Baby." Deeks sighed, leaning into her touch, closing his eyes briefly.

"So, you wanna break into that dinner?" he suggested, dropping his linked hands to her lower back.

"Dinner can wait," Kensi decided, drawing his lips back to hers. She sank to the floor, drawing Deeks with her and sighed when his lips found her neck.

Deeks' skin was soft beneath Kensi's fingers as she ran them down his back and across his stomach. He shivered, making a pleasant sound, but didn't move from his spot a few inches from the fire. Kensi was nicely warm tucked into his side.

"So much for the hot tub," he said, flashing her half a smile. The rest of his face was smashed into the floor rug.

"Are you complaining?" Kensi asked, pretty sure of his answer. As far as she was concerned, they'd just spent a very enjoyable hour together.

"No, definitely not," Deeks assured her quickly. "I'm just going to have some rug burn in uncomfortable places." He lifted his head and let his gaze run over her. "But totally worth it," he added, his voice dropping to a low, almost gravely tone that sent a rush of heat through her at the memory of their very recent activities.

Palming her hip, Deeks gently squeezed and rolled her onto her back, sliding over her. She welcomed the heavy weight of his body pressed against hers. He started to prop himself up on his forearms, but Kensi hooked her leg around his waist, keeping him in place.

Kensi arched into him as Deeks kissed her neck, smoothing her hands down his back. When she reached his butt, she rolled her hips and squeezed him. Deeks broke his patter of kisses with a gasp, letting out a breathy chuckle.

"Oh god," he sighed. "At this rate, we're going to starve."

"Completely worth it," Kensi decided, grinning against his mouth as she kissed him.

A/N: No, I don't think a rental house would have a functioning wood-burning fireplace, but it's a little more romantic.
