A/N: I do not own Rizzoli and Isles although if I did I would be so much happier and they would totally be lesbians on showtime. Anyway I know this isn't an update for Maura's Sexy Mix for anyone who's read that and is waiting for an update BUT for now I've hit a GIANT cement and brick wall of writers block and that story and so I'm working on this one till I can figure out what to write next for Maura's Sexy Mix. This was originally going to be my entry for the RGB xmas challenge but this is only the 1st chapter and it already was longer than the max word count so I just decided to continue writing because I love this story and couldn't let it go so there is more to come and if there's interest I will post the chapters faster because I have a couple written already. so Reviews=Faster Updates!.

Maura sat on the couch with a glass of her favorite wine, studying the elaborately decorated Christmas tree in her living room. She usually didn't decorate for Christmas, but Jane had insisted that she put up a tree. According to Jane, it would be almost illegal if Maura didn't decorate her fantastic house for Christmas. Jane had helped her pick out a tree, buy ornaments, and decorations for the rest of the house. Maura's house looked like something out of a storybook by the time they were finished. Maura found it sweet the detective had gone through so much trouble to help Maura get into the holiday spirit.
Jane had fallen asleep on the couch with her head in Maura's lap. They were watching a marathon of Jane's favorite Christmas movies and Maura couldn't help but just watch her sleep. The troubled detective looked completely at peace as she slept. Maura just smiled to herself. She let her head rest on the back of the couch, mind drifting back to the fateful night of last year's annual Rizzoli Family Christmas party. Maura didn't want to attend, using work as an excuse. Of course Jane had insis'ted and absolutely would not take "No" for an answer.
It happened on a Friday, in the morgue Maura was just finishing up on the last autopsy of the day. She was completely fed up with the week and wanted it to be the weekend already. If there was a higher power up there somewhere, Boston would be peaceful for just ONE weekend and let her have some rest! She had heard Jane before she had seen her. The morgue doors opened and Jane swaggered in. She watched as Maura was bent over the body and took in all that Maura was.
Dr. Maura Isles was possibly the only woman on the planet who could make morgue scrubs look so damn amazing, Jane thought.
"Hey Maura!" she said casually while she sauntered over to Maura's desk to sit down.
The doctor applied the finishing touches to the body before turning to her friend. She smiled at Jane as she removed her purple latex free gloves, deposited them in the bio disposal can and removed her goggles. "Ugh, I am SO ready for the weekend. You want to go for drinks tonight?" Maura said hopefully.
Jane had been deep in thought about getting Maura to agree about going to her family's annual Christmas party all week and had yet to be successful. Every year Maura tended to avoid family gatherings at all costs. She had explained calmly that she didn't have anyone waiting for her except Bass at home. She loved her work, so it made sense she would take as much of the workload off everyone else with family obligations. On her way down to the morgue, Frost had made a Lucy and Ethel joke that had sparked the perfect plan in Jane's mind. Now she just had set it into motion.
"Ya know what? Drinks sound great! But can we throw in dinner too? I'm feeling kind of peckish. How 'bout I pick you up at your place in about say" she glanced at her watch, "oh, an hour or so? Dress casual and comfortable. If it looks like you're about to have dinner with Obama, you're overdressed. Okay?" Jane said smiling. Maura's face lit up immediately at the thought of dinner with Jane.
"Okay, sounds excellent! I'll see you in an hour!" Maura was excited, just like child who had gotten the pony they asked for from Santa. This hellish week would end, there would be dinner with Jane, she couldn't think of anything better.
Jane just smiled as she left the morgue to go home and find the perfect outfit for tonight.
Upon arriving home, she realized as much as she hated to admit it, Maura was right. She had nothing to wear. She had gone through her entire closet three times before she finally found something she thought might, might do the trick for tonight. She had finally settled for simple yet dressy. She had chosen dark wash jeans, and a long black form fitting V neck sweater Maura had bought her last year but she had yet to wear. She kept her hair down and natural. If she had to say so, she thought she looked pretty good.
She stood at Maura's front door, hand raised ready to knock. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door. The noise of Maura's heels on the tile could be heard through the door. Maura opened the door, revealing herself in all her elegance. Maura felt her breath catch looking at Jane, who looked stunning. Maura had chosen a simple white wrap around dress that accentuated her waist and a pair of heels that probably cost more than Jane's apartment for a month. As always, she looked stunning and Jane could feel her body warm and her skin begin to prickle.
Jane stepped inside out of the cold. Maura shut the door. "Are you almost ready? We're going to be late…?" Maura's eyes widened.
"Jane, why would we be late? You said this was just a casual dinner. I am not appropriately dressed for anything else…" Maura was in a state of slight panic now, staring down at her clothing.
"Hey, hey, hey calm down…" She said reaching one hand behind her back putting the other on Maura's arm to calm her down. In one ninja, fast lighting move Jane had slapped one handcuff around Maura's left wrist attaching the other to her right.
"I'm so glad I can still lie now before you freak out on me. There is a reason I did this. These," she pointed to the hand cuffs linking them together, "are so that you can find NO way you can weasel your way out of going with me to my parent's annual Christmas party."
"JANE ANGELA RIZZOLI! UNCUFF ME. RIGHT NOW!" Maura yelled, she stomped her foot, fists balled at her side. Maura was mad, actually past mad, she was pissed. She couldn't believe Jane would pull a move so childish as to handcuff them together. "Where are the keys?" she demanded.
"See, that's the other part of my plan…" she said chuckling.
Maura didn't wait for Jane to finish the sentence. She attacked Jane, searching her pockets for the keys and knocking them to the ground. She was now straddling Jane's hips, frantically searching Jane's pockets with her uncuffed hand. Jane paused unable to think for a moment with Maura on top of her.
"Uh… I don't h-ha-have the keys." She gulped. She felt Maura's hands on her body. She could feel her heart racing and her stomach was doing gymnastics. Jane looked at Maura, her brown eyes got lost in hazel. Jane lost all train of thought. "Fra- Frankie does. So even if I wanted to, I couldn't unlock these cuffs. Frankie's at the party waiting for us. So it looks like you're just gonna have to go with me, don't it?" Jane was grinning now, knowing she won. Maura sighed knowing she was defeated.
"So, uh, you might wanna let me up," Jane said. Maura blushed, trying to get off Jane with as much grace as possible since being attached to the detective. She was ignoring the tingling feeling all over her body, having been Jane in such close proximity.
Maura grabbed her coat, not being able to put it on. She settled with carrying it to the car, knowing it would be getting colder later. She grabbed her purse and keys. Jane and Maura went out the door and headed for the car.
Getting in the car proved much more difficult than Jane would have thought, since Maura was in a dress, Jane volunteered to climb over Maura. They were in very close contact once again. A few awkward blushing moments later, they settled in the car.
Jane drove to her parent's house. Maura still could not believe Jane's childishness. At the same time was flattered that Jane had wanted her to go to this party so badly she would go to the extremes of handcuffing them together.
They arrived at Jane's parents' house a short time later. Getting out of the car was just as difficult as getting in; again, Jane had to climb over Maura attempting not to wrinkle her dress.
"The next time I handcuff myself to you, I'm taking a cab," she mumbled.
Maura raised an eyebrow. "I never pegged you as the handcuff type Jane?" she said giggling, giving that sexy eyebrow wiggle she was famous for.
"I…I meant… ya know what, never mind!" Jane said embarrassed, turning red before dragging Maura out of the car to her parent's house.
She knocked on the door frantically. It was cold and being handcuffed to Maura didn't really allow for coats. Angela opened the door, a wide smile on her face. Frankie had told her how Jane planned to get Maura to actually attend this year's party. No one could pass up the opportunity to give her daughter the shove she needed.
