   Summary

   Tony had a very specific reason for not sleeping with her, and it had nothing to do with Gibbs’ rules or any sense of proprietary between work partners.

   He simply knew that were deeply incompatible in that sense.

   She needed to be in control. It screamed out of her every pore.

   But so did he.

   Tony and Ziva navigate their way through a dynamic they'd tried so hard to keep a lid on. Because it's just sex right? Even if only one of them has all the control.
