Bruce Springsteen - Fire

Fire

The glass filled with an amber liquid dangled in front of her face while she swayed it from one side to the other. She raised the glass to her lips and emptied it at once. Hoping the alcohol would numb the aching she felt.

She couldn't believe he'd gotten to her. Again.

It was like he knew which buttons to push. Every single time.

I'm driving in my car
I turn on the radio
I'm pulling you close
You just say no
You say you don't like it
But girl
I know you're a liar

'cause when we kiss - Fire!

Tonight she'd locked herself in her study, knowing he was right outside but not ready to face him. He'd been following her all day. Ever since those threats on her life started he'd decided she needed an update of security. And he hadn't left her alone since.

She was sure he only did it to annoy her. And it sure as hell worked.

Jenny slammed the glass down on her desk and left the safety of her study. She found him in her living room. Watching CNN like there was nothing out of the ordinary with this picture.

Late at night I'm taking you home
When I say I wanna stay
You say you wanna be alone
You say you don't love me
Girl
You can't hide your desire

And when we kiss - Fire! Fire!

"I think my security detail can take it from here Jethro."

The edge was obvious in her voice. And he too knew she was about to lose her patience with him.

" I'm not leaving you alone until this case gets finished and we've found the bastard who's been threatening you."

She walked across the room and stood in front of the tv, successfully blocking his view.

"Go help your team then."

"No can do Jen," He smirked at her. And that was all it took. Jen let out an angry scream and stalked out of the room.

"Why can't you just leave me alone!"

He quickly followed her before she had the chance to get really started.

All those years as her partner, lover and agent had taught him that much. Not to mention his other 'experiences' with redheads. Once they started their angry tirade there was nothing able to stop them. He liked to compare it to a fire, saying the wrong thing would add enough fuel to it to make her explode. And right now, it was too late to roll out the hoses and put that fire out with water.

There was only one solution left. Only one way to stop the fire from exploding

Depriving it off oxygen.

And that was exactly what he did. In one fluid motion he turned her around and with his other hand he pulled her head closer to cover her mouth with his.

You had a hold on me right from the start

There's a girl so tight
I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumping
Acting like a fool

Your kisses they burn but your heart stays cool

She was too stunned, too angry with him to respond to his kiss. Gibbs quickly pulled back. His mind filled with so many different thoughts he wasn't even sure what to think right now.

Green met blue in a staring match. Both trying to keep the connection without showing emotion.

This time it was her turn to surprise him. Attacking his lips with hers. Not so gently biting down on his bottom lip, making gasp a little in pain. She took advantage of his action by pushing her tongue through the opening of his mouth. Soon, their tongues were involved in a fierce battle. Just like the ones they used to have. The ones she thought she'd never experience again.

She gripped the lapels of his jacket more tightly pulling him even closer. She felt his fingers already trailing a path on her side and his other hand releasing her hair from the clip she'd put it in earlier. He raked through it. Just the feeling of his hands touching her again made her moan in anticipation. The sound was stifled by his mouth but she knew he'd heard it too. She hadn't even noticed she'd undone the buttons of his shirt already but when she ran her nails over his chest she wasn't about to wonder how.

Breathing unfortunately became a necessity but it didn't stop him from planting feather light kisses at the base of her neck. She arched back, granting him better access.

Romeo and Juliet
Samson and Delilah

Baby
You can bet their love they didn't deny
Your words say split
But your words they lie

Suddenly she stepped back. Breaking every contact between them. The raw desire in his eyes held a questioning gaze too. She saw it and smiled reassuringly. H had taken a risk. And he was probably afraid she regretted ti. Not that he'd ever admit it.

She took his hand and led him up the stairs, to her bedroom.

'cause when we kiss - Fire! Fire!
Burning in my soul
It's out of control
It's out of control

Instead of putting out a fire he had ignited a much bigger one. And one thing was for sure.

Neither of them would get much sleep tonight.
