From Cold To Hot!
Teresa Lisbon looked at the man standing opposite her in utter bewilderment and confusion. Patrick Jane stared back, waiting for her answer. He knew what he wanted her to say, and what she would eventually say were the same thing. He just had to act as if he didn't... not a problem for him!
He could see that her brain was still trying to comprehend what he had just told her. "I'm sorry, Jane. Um, could you... could you run that by me again?" If he had to explain it again in order to get her to do it, that was fine by him. After all, he'd probably never get the chance to do it again, would he?
"Okay. Lisbon, I would like you to teach me how to swim." He said it in his normal voice; he didn't even crack a smile... which was pretty hard to do, considering that he was Patrick Jane; the man with a smile permanently stuck to his face. At least, that was what Rigsby and Van Pelt had said.
She nodded, though there was a sense of disbelief as well as agreement in it. "Yeah, that's what I thought you said." She walked back to her desk, and began to sort through the papers on her desk; she was trying to look busy. Maybe if she looked busy enough, he would go away. Go away and never bother her about this again. However, she had no such luck.
He knew that she was trying to avoid the subject; and that she was trying really hard not to say anything. That didn't last for long, though. She looked back up at him from the papers she had in her hand. "Okay, I have another question." He gave her a nod of his head; a sign for her to continue. "Why are you asking me? I mean, surely there are more... qualified people that could teach you, right?"
He seemed to contemplate her question for a few moments, before walking over and sitting down on the edge of her desk. "That's true; there are a lot more... qualified people that could teach me." He moved so that he was comfortable on her desk, before he continued. "But, the reason that I asked you, and the answer to your question is that..." he hesitated for a moment, before finally saying it. "... I'm embarrassed."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he knew it was the right thing to say; well, the right thing to say in order to get what he wanted. A small smile crept up on her face, and he could see that she was holding back a laugh. "Go ahead. You can laugh." He smiled inwardly, when hers grew bigger, and a small laugh uttered from her lips. "Though I have to say Lisbon, I didn't expect you to be so immature."
"I'm sorry, Jane. I just..." she stopped as she released another small laugh. When she had stopped and composed herself, she continued. "I just... never thought that you, of all people, Patrick Jane, would get embarrassed." she coughed to make sure that all the laughter was gone. "Well, to save you from any... embarrassment, I would be happy to teach you how to swim." She mentally kicked herself, when she realized that she had walked right into that one!
"Excellent!" After they had arranged when his swimming lessons were going to start (tomorrow, bright and early), she gave him the look that told him she wanted him out of the office. He jumped off of her desk, and walked halfway out of the door, when he thought of something. Poking his head back into her office, he smiled his knowing smile. "By the way, just so you know. I am a slow learner..."
"Yeah. As if I didn't know that already!" She interrupted him, remembering all the times that she had told him to stay out of trouble... never once had he listened to her!
"Exactly. So I just wanted to say that we may be... at it for quite a while." He smirked at the look on her face; then he moved his head out of her office, before she could find something to throw at him. This time, it was the stapler... and it only just missed his head. As he walked over to his couch, he thought of Lisbon's face right before the stapler had been thrown halfway across the room; she really was quite beautiful when she was angry... even more so when she smiled. Closing his eyes as he layed back onto the brown leather, he smiled at the thought of what was going to happen tomorrow. He also made a mental note to write a will. Just in case he didn't come back from swimming.
He would leave his watch to Rigsby; he had seen the man eye-balling it for quite a while now; he would leave Cho his books... and a note asking him to dedicate one of his books to Jane; he would Van Pelt some jewellery; he knew she would like that. And Lisbon... well, if things panned out the way he wanted them to at the pool, he wouldn't need to leave her anything. Though, maybe he would leave her something... just a... little...
Thoughts of his will were pushed to the back of her mind, when he finally fell asleep.
* * *
When he left her office, she picked up the stapler she had aimed at his end. It had now caused a small dent in the door. Barely noticeable, no one will know. No one except for me and Jane, that is.
When she sat back at her desk, she had nothing to occupy her, but her thoughts. The first one that immediately came to her mind was: What had Jane meant when he had said that they would be at it for quite a while? Her brain immediately came up with something; she pushed that thought to the back of her mind. The part where she put all thoughts of Jane; at least, any thoughts that were like that! Still, she had the strange feeling that he had meant it that way.
She leaned back in her chair, thinking about what was going to happen tomorrow. She also made a mental note that she needed to go shopping tonight. She told herself it was because she needed a new swimming costume anyway; though a part of her deep, deep down knew that it was because if Patrick Jane was going to see her semi-naked, she wanted to look half-way decent!
* * *
The next morning...
As he walked through into the changing rooms, he couldn't suppress the smile that grew on his lips. He had had the best night's sleep last night; granted, it was full of dreams of Lisbon. That's probably why. He thought to himself. Remnants of those dreams still stayed with him. They were good; he had to admit that. He just hoped that they weren't as good as the real thing. He smiled at that thought. As far as he was concerned, nothing was ever as good as when it was done with Lisbon!
Just as he thought that, Lisbon came out of one of the changing rooms; she was clutching a towel around her body. He was slightly disappointed that he wasn't going to get a sneak peek of what she was wearing beneath that towel. It left far too much to the imagination. Sure, his mind was creative, and he certainly had an over-active imagination... but some things were just better seen in the flesh. Flesh being a very appropriate word for the situation they were in!
"Well, you're here bright and early, Lisbon." The look she gave him told him to back off. Still, he never could read Lisbon's face, could he? "I can see that you're not a morning person." He smiled his brilliant smile at her.
"Bite me, Jane." You have no idea how much I want to, he thought to himself She shivered a little.. "Not only is it too early, but it's Saturday! I should be tucked up in my warm bed, having a lie-in, with a cup of warm coffee in my hand!" By the way she was stressing her words, he guessed what she was thinking.
"Are you cold, Lisbon?" When she looked back at him, she had daggers in her eyes. She shivered again, meaning her anger at Jane was now powerless.
"Let's just get this over and done with. The sooner we start, the sooner we finish, and the sooner I can get back to my bed, and away from you!" She stormed past him to the pool. He watched her as she walked away. Believe me, Teresa. By the time we're finished, you'll be wanting me there with you. He smiled again, as he stepped into the changing room Lisbon had just vacated. This was going to be more fun than he had thought!
* * *
As he walked out of the changing room, he tied a towel around his waist. Lisbon was going to get a peek if he didn't get one! When he got to the pool side, he saw that she was there, waiting for him, sitting on the side. He was again glad that they had chosen a time when no one else would be there. She had thought it was so that he could avoid more embarrassment; but he knew better. He just wanted to be alone with Lisbon... in a place where she couldn't hide from him. He strolled up to her, and sat beside her. He leaned in, so that his lips almost brushed against her ear. "Didn't want to start without me, huh?"
She flinched when she felt his breath on her ear. It wasn't a bad feeling; far from it! It was just something that made her lose herself for a moment... and she didn't want to do that when Jane was around. Especially when Jane was around. "Don't do that, Jane!" She stood up; he did the same. She made to move away from him... and then stopped when she saw that he was naked from the waist up. She couldn't do anything but stare; stare at the... the God that Patrick Jane was.
His body was toned; a fact that she wouldn't have known otherwise. The clothes that he wore every day at work, managed to hide his muscles. Her eyes swept over his shoulders, his biceps, his lower arms; then around to his abs, before trailing over the towel to his lower legs. Every fibre in her body screamed at her to jump on him. She felt a familiar pull in her stomach; though she had never felt it before, except in her dreams. She now realized that she didn't have to imagine what his body looked like now; it was right there in front of her! She was actually surprised that she hadn't started drooling!
Jane could see that she was looking at him; that her eyes were trailing over the many muscles on his upper body. He smiled inwardly; there was one muscle that she hadn't seen yet. But, he had made it his mission for today to introduce them both; that way, she would become fully acquainted with his body. Hopefully, the favour would be reciprocated! He decided to up the ante. "See something you like, Lisbon?" When she didn't answer him, he unwrapped the towel from around his waist. It fell to the floor silently, and gave Lisbon a full view of just what made up Patrick Jane.
Her eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets, when she saw the towel drop to the floor. It revealed that Jane was wearing... BLACK SPEEDOS! That's right, Speedos! When she glanced down she saw... okay, so maybe 'bulge' was the wrong word to use when describing her eyes. The ache in her stomach intensified, when she saw another part of the human anatomy that she could describe with the word bulge; and it took all her brainpower to stop herself from jumping on him this time. Why did he have to wear Speedos? Why?!
Jane didn't seem to notice what was happening to Lisbon, and proceeded to walk down into the water. When he was halfway submerged by water, he turned, and motioned for her to join him. She gulped slightly, before shrugging the towel off of her shoulders. Now, when she thought about it, the dark-blue bikini that she had chosen was a little, well... revealing. But there was no way that she was going to wear a swimming costume. She didn't need Jane telling her that she was only wearing it, because she was afraid to have fun.
When she looked over to him, he didn't seem to be affected. She told herself that it was too late to back out now, and decided to take the plunge. Literally.
As she dove in, her muscles tightened, making her body streamlined. Jane watched her dive; noticed the control that she had on her body. Well, she was going to lose that pretty soon, he thought to himself. When she resurfaced however, that was the first point that day that he thought he was going to lose his control as well. Her wet bikini was clinging to the curves of her body, making her seem all the more irresistible to Jane. Not for the first time, he thought about grabbing Lisbon, and taking her then. He made himself stop. He had to stick to the plan after all, if he wanted anything to happen between them.
"So, how are we going to do this?" She had completely forgotten the reason that they had gone to the pool in the first place. His question had reminded her, and she was suddenly unsure of how to do this. Finally deciding on the way that her father had taught her, she told Jane, "Lie back."
"You're the boss." Following her instructions, Jane was soon floating in the middle of the pool; neither of them had seemed to notice that they had moved since they entered the pool. When he was completely vertical, she placed one of her hands on his back, keeping him in place with her other hand. As she placed her other hand on his chest, she registered that it was very close to his crotch. She didn't know what to do. If she moved it, he could feel insecure, panic and he could sink underneath the water, and she would have to save him; but if she didn't move it, then it could lead to... well, she didn't need to think of that right now.
"Feeling okay there, Jane?" He nodded to her; his eyes were closed, and his hands were moving through the water. Every so often, his left hand would glide across her exposed stomach, making her shiver. And this time, her shivering had nothing to do with the temperature. After they had stayed that way for about 10 minutes, Jane's hand gradually taking longer to glide over her skin, he suddenly stopped and looked around, then at her.
"Um, Lisbon. When did we move to the middle of the pool?" She looked around too, taking her hands off of his body for only a second. But, that was all that it took. Before she knew what was happening, he was disappearing under the water. He started thrashing wildly, the water frothing from his movements. She tried to grab onto one of his arms, onto one of his legs but it was no use. She couldn't get a good enough grip on any of his limbs. She tried once more. Then, it stopped. Lisbon was left there, unable to speak, move, breathe. When her legs finally listened to her brain, she used them to walk over to the side of the pool, breathing heavily; she felt almost as if she were having a panic attack... though it was nothing compared to what she felt when a hand grabbed her arm.
She would have screamed; only that same hand had found its way to her mouth. When she saw the owner of the hand emerge from the water, she nearly had a heart attack. In return for scaring her, Patrick received Lisbon's palms being forced into his nose. Even through the excruciating pain, he was laughing. "That was so worth getting punched in the nose... again!" Lisbon could hardly believe her ears. He was laughing!
"What the hell did you do that for? Tell the truth, or I swear, I'll hit you in the nose again. And this time, I'll break it." There was anger in her eyes. Perfect! He wriggled his nose, to make sure that he still could, and looked straight into her eyes when he answered her, placing his hands on the wall, either side of her body.
"The truth huh? Okay then. I basically lied to you about me not being able to swim. I am actually a pretty able swimmer; have to be to stay in this shape. Though, you already noticed that." He smiled as a blush crept up from her neck to rest on her cheeks. Her face was now more red than angry.
"You lied to me?! Why?!" He knew that it was a rhetorical question... which was why he answered it.
"Well, if we're being perfectly honest here," his right hand moved from the wall, to gently caress her stomach again; she shivered at his touch. He leaned in closer, so that their bodies were now pressed flush together, and their lips were almost touching. "It was so that I could do this." That was when he kissed her. At first she didn't know what to do; didn't know whether she should kiss him back or pull away. His persistence made up her mind for her; though the feel of his lips moving agaisnt hers also helped things along. Tentatively, she kissed him back; becoming more confident, when he placed his hands on either of her hips, and began to stroke. She wrapped her arms around his neck; vaguely aware of her legs moving up to wrap around his waist. At that point, she practically melted into their kiss.
This first kiss was unlike any other that she had ever experienced. Jane was both gentle and forceful; he was in control, yet he made her like it. Lisbon was never one to relinquish control; yet she felt differently with Jane. His lips were like silk against hers; his body like fire. She couldn't believe that she hadn't been burned already. Suddenly, all of her dreams, her fantasies were coming true; they were all rushing to the forefront of her mind, begging to be let out, to influence what she would do with him. Oh, the possibilities!
Her hands moved from his neck to follow the muscles in his chest. She moaned into their kiss, as her hands skimmed across his abs. He took that as permission to deepen the kiss; slowly parting her lips and slipping his tongue through the gap. As he explored the contours of her mouth, he could feel the ever-growing bulge in his Speedos getting bigger and harder. Lisbon must have felt it too; her hands were now just an inch away from his erection.
His hands moved slowly from her hips to her waist; his fingers spreading out so that he could feel more of her. As they passed from wet to dry skin, she gave a shudder. Whether it was from the feeling of his cold hands, or the pleasure she was getting from them, she had no idea. Feeling her shiver, he slowly released her lips from his; smiling when he saw that they were slightly bruised. They weren't even out of the pool yet, and he was already marking her as his own.
He leaned in towards her ear again. "Cold?" His breath tickled her ear, sending another shiver throughout her body. She could only nod in reply. "Do you want to go someplace... warmer?" He didn't wait for an answer; instead he reached his arm down so that it was underneath her knees. Then he scooped her up into his arms, while hers wrapped back around his neck to support her. He waded to the step-ladder, and walked slowly up the steps. The feel of her in his arms was enough for him to put her up against the wall; he wanted nothing better than to ravage her! But, he would wait. They were both in need of a nice, long and hot... SHOWER!
