So they needed to go in undercover to investigate the case.
Ellie frowned at the image of the building, then slowly reached out and with a great deal of self control clicked it closed on the keyboard in front of her despite the emotions she felt; anger, fear, disgust, worry. They, Ellie and NCIS Agent Joshua Mitchell, would pose as people interested in the D/s or BDSM lifestyle and with a little bit of help from a confidential informant and some fancy computer work would be verified as having the proper bona fides to gain entrance. The problem was they'd have to go in as a couple. They were a couple, had been for almost two years. Joshua had been Ellie's first and only and she'd never wanted any other man than him, giving him her virginity and her total devotion since they'd first started dating. No other man existed romantically to her. Posing as a couple in love wasn't going to be hard. It was posing as a couple in a kinky relationship that was the struggle.
Blushing even to think about it, Ellie turned away from the display and began to pack her bag. She and Joshua were intimate, at least twice a month, and she knew he enjoyed it. Ellie did too, because Joshua did. Still she never had climaxed and they only had sex in the missionary position. Ellie knew about other ways to have sex, clinically any way, but Joshua never pushed for more and he always... finished... so that was enough. At first they'd done it every day, sometimes twice, but then work and the new of the relationship had worn off and they were pretty much on a schedule now. It was adequate. It took care of his needs, or so Ellie thought. But this case was going to require Joshua to go in as a dominant male and Ellie as a - a -
Unable to even say it in her head, Ellie frowned, mouth quirked to the side, and reached for self control to keep from doing something silly like crying. NCIS agents didn't cry. A couple of deep breaths and she was back to herself and left the office with her bag and a black duffel bag in her left hand.
Twenty-seven minutes later, two minutes faster than average, Ellie was at Joshua's apartment. They maintained separate apartments still because they weren't officially married, but Ellie and Joshua spent most of the time at his place because it was closer. Joshua was already home and she parked behind his car in the street outside.
He was waiting for her at the door and she felt his arms fold around her in a hug, then turned her mouth up to kiss him sweetly with an open mouth. "I love you," she said, one of their trademark ways of saying hello. "I'll always love you," Ellie added. "This," she said raising her left hand with the duffel bag in it, "is from Abby. She collected it from the evidence rooms and, um, her own stuff. She said it's all clean. Sterilized." As if the bag held adders instead of what it really did, Ellie handed it off to Joshua and went into the apartment. There, as she always did, she put her things away just so and then finished by laying her holstered pistol and credentials on her side of his bed. Her shoes went underneath the edge, facing out and ready to be stepped into in an emergency.
"Will you fix me a drink please, Joshua?" she called out, sitting on the edge of the bed. "I really think it will help. I also got Ducky to prescribe me some Xanax if you think that's a good idea too. Or maybe for tomorrow," she added matter of factly.
While Joshua was busy in the kitchen, Ellie returned to the living room and sat down on the couch, knees together and back not touching the cushions. The bag was on the coffee table in front of them and she absently moved it to make it sit in the exact center then stared at it.
"I can do this," she said in almost a whisper, but didn't reach to unzip the bag. Abby, once she found out about the assignment, had put together a collection of...things... to help Ellie and Joshua become familiar with bondage and dominance and submission and such. "There's manuals," she told him when he came back with her drink. "Abby put them on top. I assume, I mean, I haven't looked."
