I have had mixed reviews about this story. I know there are details different to the original but I think they suit the characters better. The most important one is that I didn't like the idea of Adrianne 'replacing' Jane. Her mother is a major factor in that, so, I have kept Angela as Jane's mum in this version.
Here are a few responses to reviews:
- Yeah, an Australian can be a US marine. Her citizenship will be explained further along in the story. It's not that important anyway.
- Jane being Australian is of no consequence to the story. I made her Australian because Ian was and I am, so it's just a bit of fun! She's still got her Italian heritage.
- I don't want Jane to be an asswad but she kinda is at the moment. She'll come good though ;)
Feel free to keep asking questions. I'm happy to answer.
Lastly, to the few of you who are concerned that I have 'stolen' this story... I appreciate your concern but why would I? There are hundreds of way better stories to steal :D Scout 32 is my old account. You can read the old version there.

Now, relax and enjoy some sex!
"You seem a little less distracted today. Jane gone?" The familiar voice teasingly questioned as she clicked alongside the smaller blonde woman. The two residents present, looked at each other with raised eyebrows, and continued following their supervisor down the corridor.
Maura kept reading her latest patient's chart, trying to keep her face from breaking out into a blush, she replied, "Not now, Adrianne." She couldn't keep the happy tone out of her voice though and the redhead knew the answer was, 'no'. Jane Rizzoli was definitely still in town.
"That has to be a record!" The paediatric neurosurgeon exclaimed.
Ever the professional, Maura ignored her and turned to address the residents that had been assigned to her for the last few hours, "Thank you, Dr Cooper and Dr Chang for your assistance today. This is a colleague of mine, Dr Adrianne Forbes. She is the leading researcher in her field of paediatric neurosurgery. Get some time with her whilst she's here, if you can. If you'll please excuse me." She dismissed them effectively into Adrianne's care. Both intrigued and wanting to ask the redhead questions about her visit.
Rolling her eyes at her best friend, she watched as the honey blonde walked away in the direction of her office.
"I'm sorry, I need to speak with Dr Isles. Come and find me later!" She called out over her shoulder as she caught up with the smaller woman. "Sorry!"
"I'm sure you are!" Maura snorted in disbelief.
"Well, I kind of am. I know you get weird about revealing anything personal to coworkers. Speaking of personal… I met Dr Strickland. We're having dinner tonight." She waggled her eyebrows.
"Adrianne!" Maura gave her an incredulous look. "You've been here for two days and you already have a date?!"
"Ummm, yep!" The redhead exclaimed unashamedly. "Hopefully she's really desperate and I'll get lucky tonight." She teased as she walked backwards out the door before she was scolded further.
"Tramp!" Maura called out at the retreating form after making sure no one else was around.
Jane groaned in frustration. She had been reviewing her offer of promotion for the last 2 hours. She needed to ask Maura about it all but was apprehensive about doing that.
She missed her. Fuck! You've been away from her for almost a year and all of a sudden you can't handle a couple of hours! You're getting soft, Rizzoli.
But it wasn't all of a sudden. The marine always missed the gorgeous blonde, she had just learned to push down all of those feelings and lock them up in their box inside of her. It helped her focus when she was in work duty mode.
It seemed that coming here to Boston to make her decision was probably not the best idea. It was too raw. How she felt about Maura would affect her need for objectivity. Damn it! She picked up her laptop and went downstairs to make a cup of coffee.
Opening her front door, Maura was relieved to find that Angela was gone and that she would have Jane all to herself again.
The doctor kicked off her heels and hung up her bag. Not seeing the marine anywhere but noticing her laptop open at the kitchen bench, she walked over to take a look. She mustn't be far away.
She read a portion of the first paragraph of the page that the document was opened to:
[…Your role as Colonel would be to typically serve as a squadron commander
of special operations for the United States Marine Corps…]
Maura frowned. Colonel? Oh my God, she's being promoted. Maura's heart sank. She knew what that meant.
That's a minimal 3 year service commitment. 3 more years with her out there… In danger… Away from me.
She tried so hard to shut down her disappointment but she couldn't. Tears welled up in her eyes but she quickly repressed them when she heard Jane stomping down the stairs. The doctor turned from the laptop and put her tea pot on the stove to make a cup of chamomile. She needed to relax.
Jane was surprised to find the doctor behind the kitchen counter. Walking up behind her, she wrapped her arms around her waist and nuzzled into a soft neck. "Hi beautiful, how was work?"
Maura got her emotions back under control and leaned into the warm embrace. It almost felt normal, domestic even.
"Mmm, it was ok. Just a minor emergency that was quickly worked out and then I had to help a couple of residents with a round." She turned in the strong arms and looped her hands around to the nape of the brunette's neck. "What are you doing?" She waved over at the computer sitting on the bench.
Never intending on keeping the promotion a secret, Jane grabbed Maura by the hand and pulled her over to stand in front of the laptop. She stood behind her and placed one hand on the doctor's hip and her other reached around to scroll to the top of the document.
The title clarified what the neurosurgeon had been reading:
[Attention: Lieutenant Colonel Jane Rizzoli.
Offer of Promotion.
Position: Colonel.]
Maura had read enough.
It's not final. She hasn't accepted yet. It's just an offer… Who am I kidding? She is going to accept. This is an incredible opportunity for her— Her thoughts were interrupted as the marine cleared her throat.
"It's, uh, umm… It's an offer... Colonel." She couldn't quite muster an appreciative tone. She was very proud of the offer but her heart was not in it. Her internal battle with the timeframe and her unvoiced future plans wouldn't allow it to be.
"Wow Jane! It's— That's a big deal. Congratulations!" Maura somehow managed to sound excited for the tall woman. She turned around to look into dark brown eyes. "What's wrong?"
Just like the doctor, Jane squashed her feelings down and left her concerns unvoiced. "Nothin'. Just a big decision. I wanna make sure I'm making the right one." She stepped away from the blonde and made her way to the couch. Flopping down on it, She spread her legs and patted the space between for the smaller woman to settle in. Maura reclined with her back against the brunette's chest, pulled her arms around her waist, and entwined their fingers together.
Tilting her head to the side to look up into the stoic face, Maura asked softly, "Is that why you're still here? Because you get time off to think about this?"
"Yeah" Jane answered simply. Looking down into the face she adored, she tenderly pressed her lips to the doctor's and nuzzled into her neck. "What do you think, Maur?"
Breathing in deeply, Maura answered logically, "It's an amazing opportunity, Jay." She closed her eyes and held back her emotion. "I think you should take it. It's what you have been aiming for your whole career, a once in a lifetime opportunity and you are amazing at what you do." She couldn't believe the words coming out of her mouth. She wanted to take them all back the minute she spoke.
"Yeah? And how would you know that, Dr Isles?" Jane teased, poking the blonde in her sides.
Squealing and grabbing the hands torturing her, she laughed at the question, "Well, you're here and alive aren't you? And you're being offered a promotion that most officers never have the option of. Deductive reasoning!"
Maura's voice softened. "What do you want, baby?"
I want you. Jane thought hopelessly. "Uhhh, I guess I'm leaning towards taking it but I'm only 12 months from being in the service for 20 years. The idea of retiring was looking kinda nice!"
"And where would you retire to, hmm?" Maura leaned back and looked at her marine again.
"Sydney perhaps?" Jane joked. "I have to visit my homeland at least once a year! I think I'd lose my accent otherwise." She could never stay serious for too long and she most certainly didn't want to divulge her dream to be with Maura permanently for fear of never seeing it come true.
"We can't have you losing your accent. I'm not sure I would still be attracted to you!" Maura giggled. She loved the playful side of their relationship. Squealing once again as Jane's long fingers found the most ticklish part of her ribcage, she attempted to escape from the couch.
"Oh no you don't." Jane chased her into the dining room and scooped the blonde up, throwing her over her shoulder. "I'm going to have to punish you now!" She slapped the firm ass that was right next to her cheek, then turned to place a kiss on it and moved towards the stairs.
"Oh lord! Jane Rizzoli: Neanderthal, strikes again."
Jane spun around at the familiar voice. Laughing when she spotted who it was, she placed Maura down and wrapped her arms around her to steady the dizzy doctor.
"Adrianne!" Making sure the blonde was ok, Jane moved to engulf the redhead in a tight hug.
"Hey there, sexy." The paediatric surgeon responded happily.
They released each other after the appropriate hug time and smiled happily. Maura wandered over and put her arms around Jane's middle. "What happened to your hot date?" She questioned with a smirk.
"The thought of joining in on the Jane Rizzoli action was too overwhelming! Threesome tonight?" She winked at the two of them and walked over to the kitchen bench to help herself to some fruit. "We are actually meeting later for drinks. I think she just wants to fuck me, not eat dinner." She informed with a smug look.
The blonde doctor just rolled her eyes and Jane let out an amused laugh. "You haven't changed, Ads."
Jane had given Adrianne the nickname when they first met 4 years ago. It was not long after Maura and the redhead had become friends. Jane had stopped in to visit her lover in San Francisco. She was wrapped around a naked Maura when she had been startled awake by a sound downstairs in the kitchen of the townhouse. Leaping out of bed, not bothering to put anything on her own naked body, she had stealthily made her way up behind the intruder before they even realised that they were not alone.
That intruder turned out to be Maura's new temporary housemate and friend, Dr Adrianne Forbes. They often spoke amusedly of the memory. One that neither would ever forget.
Taking a bite out of her apple, Adrianne shrugged. "Good to know. Alright, I'll leave you two to it. I'm going to head over to the guest house and surprise Angela. I saw her at the cafe and she told me to drop by."
"Ok. See you at work." Maura closed the door and walked back over to Jane. "Do you want to watch a movie?"
"Sure."
They settled back on the couch and decided on Salt. "I love this movie." Jane put her arm around the smaller woman and pulled her in close.
"You love Angelina Jolie" Maura teased the brunette as she tucked her legs up underneath her and snuggled into the marine's side.
"Nah, she's not my type." She winked at the blonde and kissed the top of her head.
20 minutes into the movie, Jane started to doze. She was exhausted. Months of being in a combat zone with minimal sleep started to take its toll on the unguarded woman. Maura felt her lover's arm get heavy and her body leaning on hers. "C'mon sweetheart, let's go to bed." She whispered.
"Mmmkay." Jane lifted her head and rubbed her eyes. Standing up, she stretched her arms up over her head and let out a yawn. "Lead the way, gorgeous." She huskily drew out. Her voice laced by sleep, sounded deeper than usual.
Maura grasped Jane's hand and led her upstairs. She directed her toward the bed and sat her on the edge. Placing her hands at the bottom of the tall woman's t-shirt, she lifted it up, and Jane lifted her arms to allow the doctor to undress her. Maura raised her eyebrow and smirked at the lack of bra. She couldn't help but lean in and place a kiss to soft lips. Jane, feeling suddenly more alert, placed her hands on the blonde's hips and pulled her closer.
"Jane—" She attempted to protest.
"Shhhh babe." Jane whispered with her lips against Maura's. "I want you" She deepened the kiss and wrapped her arms around the small body leaning into her. Lifting the surgeon's tight fitting black top up and over her head and unzipping the skirt so that it pooled at the doctor's ankles, the Australian ran her hands up and down smooth legs and over a yoga toned ass. "Fuck, you feel good."
"Mmmm" Maura kissed Jane back fiercely. Reaching down to unzip her jeans, the marine kicked them off and pushed back to lay on the bed, pulling the blonde on top of her. Straddling a firm stomach, Maura began to grind slowly, never breaking their kiss.
They eagerly stripped each other of the rest of their clothes and resumed their positions.
"Maur, do you still have the—"
"Mmmhmm" Maura hummed in affirmation. She knew what Jane was referring to.
She lifted herself up from straddling the brunette and padded quickly over to her wardrobe. Pulling out a small designer bag, she took out a few sex toys. Finding the things she wanted, she discarded the rest in a heap on the floor.
Jane's eyes followed her every move. Maura held the harness and dildo up to the brunette, "This one?" She knew it was the one. It was the marine's favourite and Jane was the only one she ever allowed to use it. When she finished fitting the the tall woman, she placed herself back into her position, straddling her lover's body. The petite woman sat just slightly higher on Jane's body than the toy.
Kissing the blonde with renewed passion, Jane let her hands conquer every surface of the doctor that she could reach. Reaching down between them, she ran her fingers gently through Maura's soft folds. "Oh fuck, Maur. You're so wet." The Australian groaned and feeling invigorated by her lover's response to her touch, she rolled them over and positioned herself between the doctor's legs. Jane kissed down an exquisite neck and ran a hand down the front of the blonde's body and back to the toy between her legs. She placed it at Maura's slick opening and slid gently inside. She loved this. Being inside her love, their bodies chest to chest, belly to belly, hip to hip. She kissed Maura gently and moved in and out of her.
"Ohhh Jay. Mmmm" The doctor clung tightly to Jane, no space between them. They slid against each other, their sweat slicked bodies gathering momentum. "Harder baby," Maura panted, getting close.
Almost pulling completely out and thrusting back inside with a force that rocked them both further up the bed, Jane increased the pace and held onto Maura's hips so tightly, the doctor was sure she would have bruises in the morning. They rocked fervently until they both cried out with release. Slowing to a stop but not pulling out, Jane brushed some sweat soaked hair away from the blonde's forehead and kissed her. They kept up a gentle exploration of tongues and Jane began moving inside the smaller woman again. Reaching her hand down to the doctor's clit, she stroked it until she felt Maura tighten again and cry out her name. She loved it when Maura called her name as she came.
"Mmmmm." Maura moaned as Jane pulled out. Quickly unbuckling and tossing the toy over the edge of the bed, she pulled the sheet up over their bodies. Repositioning herself to lay in her lover's arms, Jane put her head on the blonde's chest, tucked up tightly under her chin. The doctor wrapped her arms around the marine's shoulders and basked in the rare reversal of positions.
Content, they fell asleep within seconds.
This story really is just SWP ;p
