The two women sat on Maura's couch that night, after having just consumed the dinner that Maura had made.
"You should have seen his face." JJ laughed, she had just finishing telling Maura of the guy who pretended to be an FBI agent to herself, Emily and Penelope.
"Oh I can imagine." Maura chuckled. "You seem close with them." Maura said.
"Yeah, they're my best friends. Like sisters even." JJ mused. "I suppose like how you are with Jane." JJ finished, she was beginning to realise that her and Maura had a few things in common.
"Hmm, I suppose is it." Maura replied. "Would you like another drink?" Maura asked politely, tilting her head towards JJ's empty beer bottle.
"No thanks, I'm good." JJ replied, placing her bottle on the table in front of her. "There's something else I'd like though." JJ grinned cheekily, making Maura chuckle.
"Oh really? What would that be?" Maura smiled back flirtatiously.
"Mmm, I think you know." JJ replied, leaning closer to Maura.
"Maybe you should just show me." Maura said, her voice low and seductive.
JJ almost growled before leaning in closer and capturing the ME's lips in a ferocious kiss filled with lust and passion. Maura moaned at the force of the kiss. JJ wrapped her arm around Maura's waist, bringing her to lie down on the couch. JJ climbed on top of Maura gently, never once breaking the kiss. JJ kept one arm bracing herself on the couch whilst the other came up to cup Maura's face and deepen the kiss. Meanwhile Maura tangled both of her hands in JJ's blonde hair.
JJ brought her hand down from Maura's face to the hem of her dress and hitched it up slightly, whilst Maura's hand crept underneath JJ's shirt and her nails lightly raked over the soft skin of JJ's back, making JJ pull away reluctantly.
Maura pulled her hand out from underneath JJ's shirt after noting the blonde's reaction. "Sorry, I just got carried away." Maura muttered apologetically, her face flushed.
"No, don't be sorry." JJ said quickly, having a very different reaction to the one she had last night. "I got carried away too. I can't help it." JJ shrugged. "You're breathtaking." JJ whispered, her lips just an inch away from Maura's.
Maura smiled a blush creeping up her neck and face at the compliment.
JJ cleared her throat before sitting up. "I should get going." JJ mumbled.
Maura thought for a moment. "Why don't you stay? I have a guest room." Maura suggested a little hesitantly.
JJ pondered the offer. She was certain Maura's guestroom would be much better than the hotel room she was currently staying in. "Yeah, that would be great, as long as you don't mind." JJ replied not wanting the invade Maura's privacy.
"I wouldn't have offered if I did." Maura teased. "I'll even cook you breakfast tomorrow morning if you're lucky."
"Oh really, well I can't wait then." JJ chuckled. "Do you fancy staying up for another hour or so?" JJ asked, wanting to spend as much time with Maura as possible.
"I would like that very much." Maura replied with a smile.
Maura was woken up during the night by a loud, muffled scream. Quickly deducing that it was from the guest room, she put her robe on and made her way down the hall.
She didn't bother knocking before entering the room. She made her way in as quietly as she could without startling JJ. The sight that greeted her shocked her. There JJ sat up, back against the headboard, her legs curled into her body. Her eyes were wide and filled with terror and her whole body was shaking and sweating.
Maura got over her shock quickly and slowly made her way over to the bed. "JJ." Maura said softly. "It's Maura." She added. JJ turned her head to look at the ME but her state remained the same. She stared at Maura almost trying to place her.
Maura climbed onto the bed slowly, she gently took JJ's trembling hands in her own. "You're ok JJ, it's just me." Maura softly stroking her thumbs across JJ's hands.
The action seemed to snap JJ out of whatever haze she was in. "Maura." JJ croaked out, her seemed to fill with recognition.
"Yes, it's just me JJ." Maura replied gently. "Are you ok?" Maura asked concerned.
"I'm fine." JJ replied almost automatically. "Just a nightmare, flashback really." JJ explained, her body starting to calm down although she was still shaking slightly.
Maura immediately understood what JJ meant, she must have had a nightmare about her kidnapping. "Do you need anything? A drink?" Maura asked, almost unsure what to do.
"No, its ok." JJ replied. "C-could you m-maybe stay?" JJ stuttered, her voice sounding uncharacteristically vulnerable.
Maura heart leaped in her chest at the question. "Of course." Maura said immediately. She slipped under the covers and lay down, as JJ did the same.
Maura could see that JJ was still shaken from what had happened, so she searched for her hand under the covers and when she found it, she grasped it tightly. "You're ok now." Maura whispered into the darkness.
JJ let out a breath and closed her eyes, relishing in the comfort of Maura's hand. "Thank you." She whispered back before they both drifted off to sleep, their hands clasped together.
