By the time they finished making arrangements and Gibbs had driven to pick up first Tony and then McGee the morning was already disappearing. Once the fresh hot coffee had finally been procured, Gibbs didn’t mind so much about hearing that Tony’s hair gel had been forgotten and Tim’s worry that his neighbor hadn’t gotten his note asking him to collect his mail.
They had travelled for an hour through the city and then another two hours beyond it, so it was early afternoon when they pulled up outside a rather ordinary looking paved driveway.
“Are you sure this is it?” Tim sounded doubtful as he peered out the window through the trees trying to see what was at the end of the distant driveway.
Tony rapidly rattled through his now grubby road map and written list of instructions, searching for confirmation before looking up with a nervous grin.
“Of course I’m sure.”
Gibbs just looked at him and Tony shrugged
“Hey it’s meant to be difficult to find. That’s the point. No one even knows it here.”
“Okay DiNozzo but if we interrupt some family reunion, looking like long lost relatives then I won’t be happy.”
Gibbs turned the car and proceeded down the long driveway. Past a bend concealed by the tall gracious trees they were met with huge scrolled wrought iron gates and a very high, very solid brick wall. Worked into the top of the gates were two letter N’s, one of each side of the gates.
A security camera beside the driveway automatically tracked the movement of the car. Tony grinned, relief evident in his voice.
“Now this I more like it. Ok I have the security code.”
Tony hopped out and entered a long number into the keypad by the gate pillar and after a short wait there was a beep and the gates swung, slowly majestically open.
Tony dashed back to the car, excitement written all over his face. Even Tim couldn’t help the curiosity at just what awaited them, as he leaned between the front seats staring out the windshield.
“Come on Boss!”
*************************************************
“Holy shit Tony!” Tim breathed as he stood in front of the fountain in the center of the circular gravel drive. Marble water nymphs’ and gamboling horses frolicked under the spray.
The three men stood rather stunned as they stared around them.
“This is not a house Tony. This is a freaking palace!”
Even Tony seemed a little surprised at the majesty of their lodgings. Suddenly he got a mischievous glint in his eye.
“Come on you two! Don’t you want to see inside?”
Tony dropped his bag onto the gravel and bolted for the door quickly followed by the other two men. Like kids they ran through the house opening first one door and then another, shouting out each discovery to each other. Even Gibbs couldn’t contain his happiness as he watched his boys rushing around like Christmas morning.
“Oh my God Tony! It has a cinema! An actual cinema with red carpet and velvet curtains!”
“Who the hell needs a kitchen this size?”
“The Pool! Tim you HAVE to see the freaking POOL!”
“You could have brought all your shoes, Tony. There is enough wardrobe space for them three times over!”
“Where’s the basement? Surely a place this size would have a…oh found it.”
“Remind me to look in the garage for tennis rackets later? I’m going to kick your ass out on the court Timmy. I hope you brought some tiny white shorts to play in? God I LOVE this place!”
Finally they all managed to meet up in the Grand Foyer under the massive chandelier.
Gibbs was practical as always.
“Look it’s getting late. How about we stow our gear, get some dinner and just watch a movie for tonight? Start fresh in the morning huh?”
“Sounds like a plan Boss”
Tony was breathless and grinning in delight which was infectious and even Tim was smiling.
“Ok so I figure we take the Master Suite? Up the stairs and turn left at the Lion statue and then end of the hall? It has easily the biggest bed and the balcony overlooks the pool”
“Uh sure” Tim struggled to maintain the smile on his face at the mention of sleeping arrangements and Gibbs tried not to sigh.
******************************
Gibbs pulled Tony aside in the kitchen.
“Tony? I want you to go up to bed before me.”
“Why?”
Gibbs rolled his eyes. “Tony, Tim is walking on egg shells around me wondering when I’m going to pounce on him and fuck him. We have got days here together and I want to ease into it. But at this rate Tim’s going to jump a mile if I touch him anywhere. So tonight we just sleep and we see how it goes. If you go up to bed, he will relax and once he’s asleep I will come to bed. If I’m there he will never get any sleep just worrying about if and when I’m going to make a move on him.”
Tony smiled as he realized the truth in what Gibbs was saying.
Gibbs wasn’t finished though.
“But make sure you’re affectionate with him. He needs to learn to be touched again and that it’s ok. I’m not talking about sex. Just make him feel safe. Get him to take his clothes off. Hold him, snuggle with him, whatever he will let you get away with but don’t push him. I don’t want him getting anxious and freaking out with you too. Ok?”
“Understood Boss”
Tony nodded wearing his serious face and Gibbs knew he was considering it in the same way he would a mission. He felt an anger burning deep in his gut that he had to have special plans just to get into bed with his boys after what those arseholes had done to Tim but he shoved it away. Now was not the time.
An hour later Tony yawned on the couch as the movie he had been watching finished. He stood and declared he was going upstairs to sleep, making sure he sent a reassuring smile Tim’s way.
“Night Tony. Think I’m going to read for a bit longer. I will be up later”
Gibbs looked up from his book and gave Tony a smile before returning to the book he was feigning tremendous interest in. Gibbs honestly didn’t even know what it was about as it was really just a cover to allow him to watch Tim from across the room.
The idea of being left alone in the lounge at night with his sexually unsatisfied Dom sent tension straight to Tim’s shoulders and he quickly stood.
“Uh I think I’m going to bed too. Night”
“Night Tim.” Gibbs looked up and smiled indulgently before dropping his gaze and returning to his book.
Good now he just needed to wait an hour or two for Tony to get Tim to fall asleep and then he could join them. Gibbs moved in his chair trying not to get aroused at the thought of slipping in amongst the sheets with his two naked boys.
Tonight was NOT the night. He needed to get a grip otherwise all three of them could go south very quickly.
Gibbs sighed in frustration and wondered if a cold shower might be in order.
Tony chatted incessantly trying to keep Tim’s mind away from climbing into bed with them. He banged cupboards looking for his toothbrush, exclaimed over the little shampoo packets in the bathroom and rather deliberately stripped off all of his clothes while he was talking to Tim. It’s not like it was anything he hadn’t seen before and as Gibbs said they needed to get him used to being around them again. Tony was pleased to see Tim quickly take a peek at him below the waist and he pretended not to notice, quickly turning away to look for more pillows in the wardrobe.
Soon Tony was climbing into the large bed, switching off the light and Tim lay rigid on the far side swathed in a long sleeve t- shirt and boxers.
“Want me to tell you a bedtime story Pet? “ Tony said using Tim’s bedroom name for the first time. Tim tensed but when he realized that Tony was simply asking for a response he smiled a little and nodded.
“Ok cool. Well scoot over here. I don’t want to shout.” Tony lay back with his hands clearly behind his head and patently waited for Tim to shift a bit closer to him. Tim wriggled across until he was beside Tony and Tony extended an arm wrapping it around Tim and pulling him closer.
“There now that’s better. Ok once there was a ….” Tony paused and frowned. His master plan hadn’t actually extended this far.
“A detective?” Tim said softly and Tony smiled.
“Yeah. And it was raining and he was working back in his shitty little office when suddenly….” Tony trailed off hoping that Tim would take the hint.
“There was a knock at the door”
“Yeah…hey that’s good. Ok a knock at the door and the detective, Mike looked up to see the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen standing there.”
“Covered in blood” Tim finished softly and he rolled further over and rested his head on Tony’s chest, listening to his heart beat.
Tony grinned “ok yeah now it’s getting good. Mike being the gentleman and curious to boot invites in the blonde and offers her a drink.”
Tony stifled an actual yawn and blinked. It felt nice to have Tim in his arms again. He had forgotten how his shampoo smelt and how his fingers would sort of stroke his chest without thinking about it.
“Hey Pet? Aren’t you hot with all that on? Why don’t you just slip off the shirt? It’s just you and me. Gibbs won’t be up for hours”
Tim stilled and then he nodded. Being curled up next to Tony he was hot. He sat up and pulled the soft shirt over his head and felt himself blush as Tony’s eyes wandered over his chest.
Tony smiled at his victory and couldn’t help looking at Tim’s chest. It had been so long since he had really been able to look at it and his once familiar shape seemed changed somehow. He had lost that puppy fat softness he always seemed to have and now he was lean, slim. He noticed Tim blushing at his increasing scrutiny and kicked himself. Quickly he lay back down and continued with his story, allowing Tim the time to decide where he wanted to be.
Tim lay down on the bed next to Tony but as the story progressed into a rollicking tale featuring a buck toothed henchman with a poisoned sandwich he found he returned to his previous position with his head on Tony’s chest.
Tony grinned at the ceiling and softly ran his hands up and down Tim’s bare back as he spoke, feeling his eyes grow heavier.
“And then ….they found the gun……in the midget’s laundry……but they knew it wasn’t really his….”
Tony yawned feeling warm and safe and loved with Tim in his arms. It had been so long since he had had a decent sleep. He had been so worried……
Tim smiled as he felt Tony slowly drift into sleep. This was nice. This was what he wanted to keep without worrying about the other stuff. Gibbs would be coming to bed soon. He should stay awake. Not that Gibbs would hurt him, it was just….. well he was at Never Never to try and have sex with them. They would want to try it sooner or later so he should stay awake. Just in case.
Gibbs stood in the doorway in the dark and felt his breathing hitch at the sight of his two boys cuddled up together in the center of the bed. Tim was still wearing his silk boxers but Tony was on his back as naked as a jay bird. Tim was fast asleep with his head tucked into Tony’s shoulder looking angelic like he always did when he was asleep. His arm was across Tony’s chest almost possessively. Tony was smirking slightly, his head buried in Tim’s hair and was probably having a dirty dream judging by the slight hard on he was sporting.
Gibbs groaned softly to himself. How the fuck was he supposed to climb into bed with that and not touch either of them and get some sleep?
Well desperate times called for desperate measures. It always seemed a shame to jerk himself off when he had two eager boys of his own but there was no way he was going to get any sleep tonight if he didn’t take care of the hard on he had in his pants.
It wasn’t like he could jump on Tony while Tim watched either. Tim might say he was fine with it but as delicate as he was it might cause Tim to extract himself completely from their arrangement, believing Gibbs and Tony would be better off on their own. It was a fear he had already struggled with months earlier when he had been sick. Tony was secretly worried Gibbs might find another wife he enjoyed more than them. Tim’s fear was that Gibbs would finally pick Tony over him and abandon him.
No this was a situation that needed to be handled with delicacy. Not with a raging erection from a horny Master desperate for a fuck in the middle of the night.
Gibbs unbuttoned his jeans and slipped his hand down his pants. Fuck he was so hard. He pulled himself free from his underwear and held on tight to the doorframe as he started stroking himself. He breathed heavily through his nose and grit his jaw to stop any noise he made escaping. Oh fuck. He wasn’t going to last long as he felt the pleasure running through him and making his legs tremble. He stroked himself harder as he watched his boys in the dark. Tim stirred slightly in his sleep and dragged his leg up Tony’s naked body, snuggling in closer before he settled back into sleep again.
Gibbs whimpered and shifted his grip to just behind the head of his swollen cock head and jerked himself furiously, his other hand digging into the doorframe to stop him swearing and thrusting as he felt the orgasm building and gathering momentum ready to explode outward.
With a grunt he couldn’t hide Gibbs came hard, shaking and shuddering into his own hand. Fuck. Gibbs leaned against the door for an instant trying to get his breathing back under control. Then with a deep sigh he turned and quietly headed to one of the other bathrooms to wash himself down and clean up a little.
At least now he had a chance of actually getting some sleep.
