This is my first fan fiction on this site and my first ever for Criminal Intent. I read a lot of fan fiction from this show but I have never read one with this couple and I kind of thought of this story when I was watching an episode the other day. I feel like this couple would never ever get together on the show but that's what fan fiction is for I guess. I'll stop rambling and get to the story. Please enjoy and reviews are always nice.
Ross's POV
I really shouldn't be thinking like this. Not only is she one of my best detectives, she is one of my closet and dearest. Well we aren't as close friends as I'd like to be but we aren't strangers either. If she ever found out what I really thought of her she would file a sexual harassment claim on me even though they are only thoughts. Not only that but the brass would have my ass. I like this job and I like getting to see her every day. I have been at Major Case for a little over a year but it didn't take me long to fall for her.
Alexandra Eames is my perfect fantasy woman but that's all that she will ever be. A fantasy in my head.
I can't begin to count how many times I masturbate thinking of her. What she looks like naked. What those pink lips feel like against my own as well as other parts of my body. What her breasts feel like against my chest. It isn't very healthy.
I watch her on most days that she's actually in the office instead of the field with Goren. I'm very careful about it. I don't need any unwanted rumors about me. If they are going to talk it better be about something good.
I know that she hates paperwork. Not a lot of people do but she absolutely hates it. I notice with just a bat of her lashes she gets Goren to do just about anything. I would be that way too if she were my partner. I'd do probably anything for her or just about anything.
I always wonder if they are a couple in secret just like everyone else. It makes me sick to think of Goren touching her and making love to that perfect body. If they were really a couple she would probably act a lot more different around him. I'm telling you I watch her very closely.
Maybe they are just sex friends then. No probably not actually. Eames can be a bitch at times and I don't think it's because of pms. It's probably because she doesn't get much lately. Especially since I last heard she got dumped by her boyfriend a few months ago. Something about the job I think. That just means she probably wants it bad.
I have a hard time believing Alex desperate and begging for sex but I can dream can't I? And what a wonderful dream that is. To have her on her knees begging for me to give it to her. I would never ever degrade a woman especially one like her. But in my fantasy she is like that. Who knows though she might be the biggest prude in bed but I highly doubt that. Even if I move from Major case she could do a whole lot better than me.
At eight o'clock on Monday morning both Goren and Eames stroll in. It looks pretty suspicious that they come in at the same time and are giggling and whispering in each other's ears like lovers. It makes my blood boil.
I watch as she takes her coat off and starts on some of the paperwork left behind from the night before. She gives Goren this look and he smiles at her. Since the door is open I hear part of their conversation.
"Fine Eames I got it covered." I can't see her face from where she is standing but I can tell she has a satisfied look to know that she got her way again.
"What'd you do this weekend? Have a hot date with Tracy?"
"For the hundredth time her name is Stacy and you have met her before."
"Whatever Tracy." I can't tell if that's a joking tone or a jealous tone.
"Yes we had a nice date."
"Did you get any?" He just gives her this look before she gets up to go to the vending machine. It's a little early for candy but I guess she is in the mood. Just like I'm in the mood for her. Another thing I noticed is she has a huge sweet tooth. She loves skittles. Every time the machine is out I hate seeing her disappointed face.
I watch as she comes back with that face that I hate.
"What no Skittles?" Goren notices the face as well.
"No now my whole day is ruined." He just laughs and shakes his head.
"It's not the end of the world. You are way too addicted to them anyway."
"Shut up." She replies quickly.
I decided to help her out.
"Morning Detectives." I say with a smile on my face. I'm way too happy for an early cold Monday morning but I get to see Alex so I'm happy.
"Morning Captain." Alex is the only one that says something since Goren is busy with paperwork. I smile to myself at my secret joke.
"What's so funny?" She notices my smile.
"Uh nothing just thinking about something." Very smooth Ross. She just shrugs her shoulders and looks at a case file.
"If you will excuse me detectives, I am going to get a cup of coffee. Hold the fort while I'm gone."
"There's a fresh batch in the break room."
"I know but I'm not too thrilled at that stuff so I'll just buy my own."
"Good point. I'm the same way. What's a few extra bucks for good coffee right?" Great we have something in common.
"Right well I'll be right back so behave yourselves."
"We will boss don't you worry about a thing." She has this teasing tone about her which puzzles me. Was she actually flirting with me or was that Eames just being Eames?
When I get back to the office they are still at their desks.
"Here" I drop two big bags of orange skittles (Since that's her favorite) on her desk.
"They were having a two for one special at the place I get my coffee. I noticed the vending machine was out. When I'm in the mood they always seem to disappear. Now I know why."
Her face lights up as she sees the bags of skittles which was worth going through the cold to get them for her even if it was down the street. It was still like 20 degrees outside.
"Aww thanks Captain. That was very nice of you." Coffee in hand, I head for my office as I hear her tear open the bag a grab a few.
As the day progresses Goren and Eames were in and out of the office. Right before it was time for everyone to leave, the best thing happens; Alex comes into my office alone to talk to me.
"Captain I really want to thank you for getting me some skittles. I'm sort of addicted to them." She takes a few bills out a places them on my desk but I refuse.
"No it's on me."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I want to make sure that you guys are happy. Plus you get a little cranky when you don't get what you want." She laughs and nods her head.
"Well thanks again."
"Any big plans for tonight?" I don't normally ask about her personal life but I enjoy talking to her and that's all I can think to ask her that is appropriate.
"Nothing too exciting. Probably just drink a glass of wine while taking a bath and watch some football." I so did not need the image of her naked in the tub but it is stick in my head now.
"Are you a Giants or a Jets fan?" She comes closer to my desk and smiles.
"Giants all the way."
"Oh too bad. And you were looking so good in my book."
"Don't tell me Jets fan?"
"Yep die hard."
"See I use to like you." I laugh with her.
"At least we made the playoffs last year."
"One nothing Captain. This year I grantee the Giants are going to have a better year than the Jets."
"We'll see about that."
"I guess we will."
"Well enjoy your bath." That sounds so perverted and I regret it the moment it came from my mouth. I meant say football game but that imagine is still in my head.
"Thanks." She is smiling so she probably isn't affected by it that much.
"Have a nice night."
"You too. I'll be sure to enjoy that bath." With that she is out of my office. Goren is waiting for her and they leave together probably to car pool. I can only hope.
After an hour or two of non work related thoughts, I pack up my things and go home. At home I take a really cold shower which helps a lot. I'm already use to them by now especially since working with the sexy blonde.
When I finish getting ready for bed I turn the TV on to check the game. The jets were down by a touchdown which is probably making Alex smile right about now. After that thought my phone rings.
"Ross." I don't even look at my caller ID anymore. I smile as I hear the sexy voice on the other end.
"I see your Jets are losing. While as my Giants are dominating." Is she psychic or something? I was just thinking about her and bang she calls me.
"Yea but they'll come back."
"I doubt it." I smile at her sassy smart ass tone in her voice. It's good to hear that voice before bed. I wonder what she is doing at this moment.
Her skin is probably rosy from her warm bath. I'm guessing most women put on lotion after a bath so her skin is probably extra soft and smooth. She's probably lying in bed under the covers wearing some old t shirt and sweats which I'm sure she looks sexy as hell in. I'm thinking way too much into this.
"We'll see won't we?" I lie down and move under the covers myself.
"I guess we will. There is a reason why I called and it's not just about the game."
"Oh?" I'm not expecting much from her.
"I know it's really early but I just wanted to make sure it was ok. It's my nephew's birthday so I was wondering if I could have Monday of next week off."
"Sure that's fine; I bet he would love that."
"Well thank you. Good night see you tomorrow."
"Good night and by the way Jets are the best." She chuckles her sexy laugh. I love teasing her.
"In your dreams." She hangs up the phone leaving me to watch the game by myself. I need to go to sleep before my thoughts work me up so much that I have to take another shower. Sleep takes over me in the middle of the third quarter. I wonder what tomorrow will bring me.
The next day I'm at my desk when Alex pokes her head in my office.
"Sorry about your Jets."
"No you're not."
"Ok maybe I'm not." She laughs. "If it makes you feel any better the Giants lost too but in overtime. We still have the same record."
"Eames I need your help."
"Gotta go." She walks out of my office to help her partner which makes me get a nice view of her ass. It is going to be a long day.
As the day progresses I get a phone call from the FBI in DC and they want Goren for a week. That means Eames is going to be partner less. After I brief them about the new assignment, both detectives step out.
"Eames can I speak to you for a moment." She sits in the chair in front of my desk with a questioned look.
"Look I have all faith in you but I wanted to ask you. Are you comfortable with being by yourself?"
"Thank you for being so concerned. As you know we have a stake out coming up in a few days and I would like to have someone else there."
"Well everyone else is busy so if you don't mind I can help you out." This would be the first time that I will truly be alone with her. I am excited but scared at the same time. I'm scared of what I might do to her if we are by ourselves. I should be fine though.
"That would be great."
"Sounds good. We'll talk about it later."
"Alright." As she walks out of my office I keep telling myself I know I can do this. A few seconds later it changes to I think I can do this and then finally I hope I can do this. It is going to be a long stakeout.
Again I can't see these two together but I had this idea for a while. I'm a huge Bobby and Alex fan at heart though. The POVs are going to change as the story progresses though. Hope you enjoyed.
