Summary: After Megan, SECNAV Sarah Porter's daughter is rescued, everything is alright, right? But what she and Special Agent Gibbs weren't counting was that there was another target on her back.

Fire meets gasoline

Chapter 1

After returning from the hospital to see Megan's father, Special Agent Gibbs accompanied the girl and the SECNAV, Sarah Porter to her house, while another car with the woman's security guards followed behind, now even more alert after the kidnapping that had happened the day before.

While the girl was sleeping with her head on her mother's shoulder, Sarah Porter looked out the window, watching the sunset, still debating what would she do now. Should she continue with her work? Ensure that her daughter had a future, a college to go? But only if she remained alive, because her work had almost costed the lives of her daughter and ex husband.

The woman's gray eyes turned from the window and found Jethro Gibbs, who was also in the back seat, in silence, while Fornell was driving with the dark glass separating them. The man who she'd known for three years now, but knew little about. But he passed her a good feeling, the man who had saved her daughter. Who had won her trust.

Her eyes then focused on the man and not the agent, watching his gray hair, blue eyes that shone like a flame, his strong nose and then she noticed he had turned his face to her and was watching her too. Her lips parted in shock as a light blush rose up her neck.

Gibbs gave her a little smirk, amused that even she, with her important place in the Navy and fancy suits, was still a woman, not immune to the attraction between a man and a woman. A woman he thought was beautiful, with her reddish-brown curly hair and gray and expressive eyes.

"Gibbs." She called softly, so her daughter wouldn't wake up. He motioned that he was listening. "I know I've talked about it before, but... I still haven't decided if I should leave my job or not." She shook her head, frustrated, feeling all the stress and excess of thoughts in her mind giving her a headache but when Megan muttered something in her sleep, Sarah stopped moving, stroking her hair lovingly, so she would remain asleep

"Sarah." He said in his low and husky voice, making her shiver with the way her name sounded. "I can't answer for you. But I know how it was for you to go through all this."

There was pain in his voice and Sarah looked at him curiously, watching the swirl of emotions that passed through his blue eyes: pain, sadness and understanding and then at the same time, the two eventually reached each other's hand in a sign of comfort, and she used this to feel his skin, callused, but that made her felt safe.

Gibbs was surprised that she'd made the move at the same time, but didn't show it and looked at her tired eyes.

"For a long time after I lost my family, I put my work above all, avoiding relationships and shutting everyone out." He began quietly, struggling with the words, but he knew it would be good for her to hear a little about it and so he squeezed the woman's hand, interlacing their fingers.

A chill ran through her body with the touch, making her heart race for the first time in years, since the beginning of her marriage to Richard.

"And now I realize that I should have paid more attention to those who were around me, and that family is important. But that doesn't mean you need to quit the work you like. Balance them, you are a smart woman, will manege it."

"But my job put at risk the life of my daughter." She insisted, her voice cracking for a moment, and hating herself for feeling so fragile, but she had reached a point where, having to appear strong all the time in her job amid the men from the navy, she couldn't hold anymore.

Gibbs shook his head, squeezing her hand even more so Sarah would keep looking at him and he saw that strong and determined woman who attracted him, so fragile at the moment, making him want to open up to her .

"And you can continue to protect her. It's not your job, it's the world. Kelly..." Gibbs began, pausing to feel the well-knowing pain from saying the name of his deceased daughter, but continued, feeling a new strength to remember the conversation he had had with Kelly in his coma and she felt a huge wave of compassion to see him telling this painful but important part of him to her.

"My daughter, she was murdered, but it wasn't because of my work, and it took me a long time, but I realized that nothing I had done would have changed it, things won't always go the way we want, but we can't live in fear or stop to do what we love. You are a strong woman, and I know that whatever you choose, you're going to be successful."

"You're right."

The gray eyes glittered with tears, but she felt her heart lighter, after all that Gibbs had said, and he himself seemed to have tears in his eyes.

The two faced each other in silence and Sarah realized, staring at the strong, sincere and generous man, that she was falling for him.

"Gibbs..." She whispered with a small smile and then he was approached his face until he was a few inches from her lips, running his nose over her own nose, her cheek, feeling her breath and sweet scent invading him.

Then increasingly attracted to her, watching the gray eyes shine and then darken, Gibbs sealed his lips to hers.

The kiss gave the feeling that both were entering in combustion, as if Sarah was the gasoline, igniting the fire in Gibbs. Sarah's lips, after the initial shock, began to move slowly in a tentative kiss, before her lips became more demanding and took control of the kiss.

Their hearts beat fast, while the car's interior began to heat up and the kiss became more intense.

But when Sarah had her hand on his nape, stroking the hair there with her nails, she felt Megan start moving due the sudden movement of her mother, then leaning her head against the window and the couple broke the kiss.

Gibbs, though appearing calm, laid his head on the back of the seatback, closing his eyes for a moment, trying to regain control over his body, knowing what they were doing was wrong, she was his boss, but at the same time it seemed right as if it was what he had missed in the last 3 years.

He turned his head to the side, waiting for her to turn hers too, as he admired her red and swollen lips and found her even more beautiful. Waiting for the heart to slow down, Sarah laid her head slowly in the backseat, looking at him too, admiring him and how good he had made her feel, their foreheads nearly touching and she smiled, ignoring the fact that he was her subordinate, while he whispered her name, also smiling, both still trying to regain their breath.

"Gibbs..."

"Woo, Sarah..."

It's dangerous to fall in love
But I wanna burn with you tonight
Hurt me
There's two of us
We're certain with desire
The pleasure's pain and fire
Burn me
