This is a fic that FaireyGirlC and I have been working on for about a month and are still writing (so yes there is a lot to update if you review, you will be rewarded) :P. This is a Jo/Sam (aka JAM) pairing so, yes, it does contain female/female relationships (and more than one ;))! That is your warning, so if you read on and get offended by this type of pairing, we accept no responsibility.
We also wish to warn that some future chapters contain violence that may be triggering to some readers.
The majority of the characters are the property of TalkbackThames and Fremantle Media, unless otherwise stated. Enjoy, and don't forget to review to let us know what you think and if you want more ;) xx
Jo smiled at Sam as she looked back at her, watching until she could no longer see the blonde as she went inside the station. This was the part of their relationship she hated. The times when Neil had done the rota and Jo and Sam usually ended up with separate days off. Though, when Sam did the rota, sometimes it was unavoidable that the same should occur. As she turned up the radio, she sighed and reversed out of the car park, deciding to go to the shops to try and distract herself and pass the time until Sam finished work.
Sam really wanted a certain type of day, though saying the q word out loud, or even in ones head was never a good idea. She knew it was tempting fate, but she just wanted to be home with Jo, doing something ever so slightly unprofessional. Hopefully moving on to something utterly unprofessional later. Sam gave up on the wishful thinking as she reached her office and a scary amount of paper work
Jo wandered around the shops, Sam never slipping her mind. She smiled as she looked in a few windows, then got out her phone and dialled Sam's number.
"DC Masters if the first words to come out of your mouth involve anything remotely indecent... please just spit it out. Sweetheart"
"Erm... Is missing you indecent?"
"No, I have to say I'm disappointed, here's me thinking about all the things I could do to you on my desk and you're just missing me"
"You were the one that didn't want me saying anything indecent. Besides wouldn't that be inappropriate DI Nixon?"
"That is besides the point" Sam smiled "I'm your superior, enlighten me, what are you up to?"
"Thinking about you," Jo smirked.
Sam leant forward, Jo could usually be counted on for some smutty conversation and now she was holding out on her. "You know I don't think you're supposed to tease your DI."
"You weren't complaining last night," Jo said, grinning to herself.
"You were in a wonderful state of undress and I wasn't sat at a desk with paperwork three deep!"
Jo laughed. "That bad?"
"Yes, I may shoot Neil when I see him next. So satisfy my inner pervert... and humour me, what are you wearing?"
Jo smirked to herself then coughed a little. "I'm in a changing room..."
Sam got up and closed the door to her office "Not a chance of you stopping there... "
"Let's just say it's something to satisfy your inner pervert tonight..." Jo smirked
"See that's cruel and unusual punishment, but I could do a lot worse, in my office, with a closed door..."
"Oh could you now?" Jo replied, "Might have to show me sometime..."
"But have you been good enough?"
"Of course, you know me..."
"Mmm, I know damn well you haven't been good enough" Sam smirked
"Oh shame that... I was going to invite you to lunch, drag you away from all that paperwork for however long a DI can take a lunch break for, but if you feel that way..."
"Maybe you have been," Sam back tracked, she stood up and witnessed a calm CID, she could leave for well however long it took.
"Oh really? Changed your tune quick enough... Might even show you what I bought..."
"Just a might? You're aware that'll have you on a refresher uniform course."
"Something you'd enjoy far too much..."
"I swear you mention one little fantasy and you're labelled for life," Sam laughed and rolled her eyes. "Are you planning to take much longer in that changing room?"
"Depends what I'm to hurry out for..."
"Me?"
"Just leaving..." Jo smirked
"I'll see you at yours." Sam smiled and ended the call. She ran into Jack as she was leaving "Uhh Guv, I'm just off to meet an informant, thinks he's got something big". Before she pulled out of the station car park Sam sent a text to Jo 'u just made me lie 2 jack hope ur proud of urself'
'I am actually... I'll be at mine in 5...' Jo text back.
Sam rolled her eyes as she read Jo's text. When she pulled into Jo's drive, Sam smirked and decided that since she had gotten her away from the paperwork Jo deserved a surprise.
Jo was preparing lunch inside, waiting on Sam's arrival.
"So I'm trying to break the law getting here and you're making lunch?" Sam sighed... women
"Hey," Jo smirked, not turning around, "Just thought you might be hungry... you need to keep your energy up you know."
"I'm more concerned with how cold I am..." Sam shrugged off her coat, if she didn't react to Sam stood in Jo's freezing kitchen in just her underwear she was going back to work
"It's not that cold in here..." Jo laughed, turning around and smirking, "Then again... maybe it is..."
"I thought I'd save you some time, so... am I going back to work?"
"That depends..." Jo smirked, approaching the blonde and kissing her passionately before pulling away, "On whether you can tear yourself away..."
Sam slid her hands under Jo's top "Mmm no, I'm not."
Jo shivered and smirked. "Any particular reason?" she asked as she began kissing Sam's neck.
"I seem to be without any clothes... and mmm whilst that might make a few in CID work harder, I don't think it's appropriate."
Jo lifted Sam as she began kissing her again, sitting her on the bench.
Sam slid her arms around Jo, slowly rubbing the small of her back.
Jo moaned deeply into the kiss, her hands lingering over Sam's stomach.
Eventually they found their way upstairs and into Jo's bed where they both lay breathlessly.
"Did I ever tell you you're amazing?" Jo whispered as they lay entwined together.
"Oh I think you mentioned something along those lines in the kitchen," Sam kissed Jo
Jo kissed Sam back lightly. "Oh, I think I remember that... vaguely..."
"Vaguely?" Sam poked Jo in the ribs.
"Ow..." Jo protested, slapping Sam's arm lightly, "Yes... everything is... well... a little blurry right now..."
"Mmm more or less forgiven."
"Mmm, which?" Jo smirked.
"Depends, is that lunch still ok?"
"Well I did turn it down to simmer," Jo smirked.
Sam ran her hand up Jo's thigh... "Am I worth lunch in bed?"
"Mmm... depends how long you have..."
"Well no one's called so I assume as long as you want me."
"Maybe this day off has turned out not so bad after all," Jo smirked, kissing Sam before slipping out of bed and putting a dressing gown on, "I'll be back in a minute."
Sam closed her eyes only to be interrupted by an obnoxious ring. 'If that's Jack I'm going rip off his'... "Yes Guv?"
Jo returned a few minutes later, a single plate of pasta on a tray with two drinks, smirking at Sam.
"Don't look so happy... Jack wants me back in work, and don't do the puppy dog eyes..."
Jo smirked and ignored Sam's request, doing the puppy dog eyes.
Sam rolled her eyes and placed the tray on the floor, she pulled Jo back on to the bed kissing her.
Jo kissed Sam back equally. "Do you really... really... really... have to go?" she said between kisses.
"I really... really... really...do" Sam mimicked "But I'll be back later."
"Stay..." Jo begged
"I can't, I love you Jo, but not enough to get fired," Sam detangled herself from Jo, and kissed her once before leaving the bedroom before Jo could make her want to get fired.
"Sam... Wait..." Jo said, hurrying down the stairs after her.
"Jo, I can't stay" Sam zipped her skirt.
"I'll do that refresher in uniform..." Jo smirked, kissing Sam hard.
"And that still leaves me without a job," Sam smiled "Look text me at work with something I can do to make it up to you..."
Jo sighed having had something she meant to ask Sam over lunch. "Yeah ok," she said, looking disappointed.
"Do you really want me to start singing cheer up Charlie?" Sam was aware of her off key singing; really it'd scary if she wasn't.
"Just go to work, you'll be late and you don't want to be fired..." Jo said, walking into the kitchen.
"No, not when you're upset... Come on Jo it's only for a few hours"
"I'm not upset..." Jo replied, trying her best to maintain her composure
"Jo, you are" Sam took her hand, pulling Jo back to her.
"It doesn't matter," Jo insisted.
"It matters to me."
"I know it does... It can wait a couple of hours... as long as it is only a couple..."
"Promise? I'm not totally above telling Jack to bugger off y'know."
"As fun as that might be..." Jo smiled, planting a soft kiss on Sam's lips, "It's not important..." even though she knew better.
Sam sighed.. "Fine, uhh don't shut the door after me; I still need to come back in to get changed"
"Changed?" Jo smirked.
"Dressed then... or do you not remember the lack of clothes I had when I came in?"
"I believe I do..." Jo smirked again, "Can I help you get dressed?"
"Jack'll kill me but go on," Sam ran her hands through Jo's hair as she kissed her.
Jo kissed Sam back lightly. "And your clothes would be where?"
"In the car, I wanted to surprise you... and I was too horny to be more creative, or sensible."
Jo laughed, taking Sam's hand. "Car it is then..."
"Shouldn't laugh you enjoyed that," Sam muttered
"Problem if I did?" Jo smirked, as she opened the back door of the car for Sam.
"Depends how late you make me," Sam smiled
"I meant it when I said I'd dress you," Jo smirked, "I'm not deliberately trying to make you late you know."
"Jo, look out the window, tell me how many flying pigs you see?"
Jo kissed up Sam's body slowly to her neck and sucked gently.
Sam closed her eyes "Liar," she sighed.
Jo continued to suck the base of Sam's neck and pulled away a few moments later, whispering, nipping just behind her ear, "Don't you really want to know why I was so upset earlier?"
"Of course" Sam pulled away a little so she could look at Jo "Why?"
"It's just I... I wanted to ask you something..."
Sam's heart rate slowed a bit, she probably didn't need the extra stress "And that was?"
"It doesn't matter... I can tell by the look on your face its already stressing you out before I've opened my mouth."
"It does matter, and I'm not stressed, I'm relieved you're asking me something, could have been a lot worse ok?" Sam studied Jo, "And I'm willing to make the stretch... any further attempts at clamming up will have you arrested for ahh... withholding evidence."
"What if I like the idea of being arrested...?" Jo smirked.
"Fine I'll bring the bloody handcuffs home, now what are you avoiding?" Sam stroked Jo's face
"Mmm..." Jo smirked, seemly now distracted, "Is that a promise?"
"Not until you talk to me."
"I just wondered... if..." Jo began, and then kissed Sam.
Sam pulled back "Ahem no more delightful interruptions or the handcuffs stay in work, to be used for police work only."
Jo looked deeply into Sam's eyes before responding. "Will you marry me?"
Sam was sure her face looked awful as Jo began to move away, though a firm grip on her thighs stopped that. "Yes, I think you're utterly insane that you want to marry ME but yes, of course."
"Really?" Jo replied.
"A million times over," Sam kissed Jo.
Jo kissed Sam back, a tear from her cheek accidentally falling on Sam's face. She rarely ever cried when it could be avoided.
Sam smiled and held Jo... she hadn't seen her cry before and to be honest it was quite sweet.
"Sorry," Jo whispered as she let Sam hold her, "I just... I'd convinced myself you'd say no."
"Sorry for what?" Sam kissed her cheek "I think you need a refresher course about me... really..." She was cut off by a 'ring ring' of her mobile.
"Leave it..."
Sam looked at Jo... "To hell with it, I can be a housewife... and well maybe not cook, but I'm not lethal with a duster."
Jo grinned. "You were saying?"
"I don't think you know me quite as well as you say... convincing yourself I'd say no," Sam smirked
"I just... everyone leaves me at some point... I thought I'd scare you off," Jo confessed.
Sam rested her hands on Jo's shoulders "From the best relationship I've ever had? You are stuck with me... well for as long as you can put up with me and Abi's wonderful new game of "muuuuuuuum I need a babysitter for Jared next weekeeeeeend"... "Sam watched Jo smile as she impersonated her daughter.
"For you, anything," Jo smiled, "Who knows, babysitting might be fun..."
"Definitely insane but wonderful along with it."
"Can I ask something else?" Jo smiled.
"Anything."
"Did you ever want more kids?"
"I'm going to call Jack, uhh why don't you wait for me inside... I'm sure he can cope."
The fact the Sam had avoided the question worried her, but she decided to comply with her request long enough to get her inside the house. "Ok," she smiled, getting out of the car and walking back into her house.
Sam sighed, women were complicated. "Jack look I can't come in... it's personal, I'm not telling you how... Jo and I were playing an adult game and I've lost the key for the handcuffs... yeah ok, see you on Monday."
