Chapter 07
The next day when Maura would get ready to go out, and probably expected Regina to suddenly appear and follow her, Jane walked up next to her outside.
"Ready to go to your shopping trip, Miss Doyle?" Jane asked her. A small smirk spread over her lips.
Maura paused and blinked at Jane. She looked confused, but not disappointed.
"What, changed your mind," she said with a soft smirk that wasn't mean in the least. Maura wore skinny black jeans, heels, and a light green silk top. Her hair was all down, hung in lose curls around her face and down her shoulders.
Jane pushed her sunglasses down from her hair to cover her eyes.
"Someone just had a convincing argument." Jane said and walked over to the car.
She opened the car door for Maura and gestured for her to get in. Jane hoped she wouldn't regret this decision. She couldn't even believe herself that she had done that.
"Who had a convincing argument," she said, getting into the car and buckling her seatbelt. She watched Jane moving around the front of the car and then get in. She gave her a confusing look, but she was still smiling at her.
"What Regina?"
Jane glanced over to her and gave her a look.
"Well, Miss Doyle had." She said and started the engine before she drove off.
"Plus your Dad is paying me more now... Who could resist?" Jane said as she let the windows down while driving.
"I am glad that I am convincing. I really had no idea," she said and sighed with relief. She finally had a person that she could trust and feel safe around that wouldn't tell her a lie. Hitting her when she needed it and not letting he get away with anything. She smiled sideways at Jane.
"So to the shopping street, I assume?" Jane asked and glanced over to her. Jane felt more attracted to her now than she did before and she felt like she had a harder time hiding it than before. Maybe it hadn't been such a good idea to keep protecting her.
"Sounds good to me," she replied and shifted in the seat to get comfortable. She was trying to act normal around Jane now. After the kiss, it was hard. She had been the one to kiss Jane, to put her in that awkward place and Jane was being strong and not treating her any different.
"It really must have been a lot of money..."
"I am satisfied. I don't like talking about my sallery." She told her and parked the car a moment later.
"Besides, your father was ready to gimme a shot in his team whenever I decide I wanted to. So if you are tired of me...lemme know and I take the other job..." Jane said.
Maura half smirked at Jane and then got out of the car. She seemed to saunter around to Jane's side.
"I don't care how much you make or how you do your job. What I care about is having you around because I trust you to be honest. You won't let me get away with shit," she said and walked up to the sidewalk, paused to wait for Jane.
Jane raised her brow. "Of course I won't let you get away with shit...Who do you think you are?" She asked playfully and walked beside her.
"Now go and go shopping." Jane said and gave her a gentle push.
"I know exactly who I am," she said with a cute smile as she was ushered off to go shopping.
She headed into a dress shop first. She wanted to find something to go out in. That was the most important. People knew her in there and pretty much left her alone if she didn't need any help.
Jane stood there in the store and looked around, not really interested. She wasn't much of a shopper. She only bought stuff if she really needed it. She'd never get girls who were shopping addicted. She watched Maura picking different outfits to try on and only shook her head. That girl sure loved to shop.
Maura moved into a dressing room with a few dresses and soon would come out in a tight fitting blue top that tied in the back and came to a point off to the side. She wore a black skirt that was barely covering her backside. She moved to the surrounding mirrors and looked at herself.
Of course, Jane couldn't help but let her eyes wander over Maura. She undressed her with her eyes already and the outfit she wore, didn't leave much room for fantasy. She kinda almost knew how Maura would look naked and she loved what she was seeing.
"That's a good...outfit." Jane said and cleared her voice.
Maura smiled and spun around. Her eyes were bright and Jane found that she loved how Maura looked happy more than anything else.
"You don't have to compliment me, but thank you," she said and turned back around to look at herself. She moved her hands over her own body, feeling how the fabric hugged it.
For Jane everything happened in slow motion and she swallowed. She forced herself to look passed Maura.
"I uh, check out the stuff over there, Miss Doyle.." Jane said, almost stuttering. As she stepped away, she ran into a sales guy and apologized. How embarassing! She cleared her throat and went over to a rack.
Maura turned and watched Jane, stumble and stutter. She was absolutely adorable.
"I did," she said, watching her and then moving toward her dressing room door. She met Jane's eyes and licked her upper lip. Her nipples hardened against the tight top that left no loseness to hid that fact.
Jane in the meanwhile was busy having an inner conversation with herself.
Stop staring at her! She is your bosses daughter! And she's a bitch...a good looking one though. Stop it! Focus, Jane, focus. Just make sure she's safe...In my arms she'll be definitly safe... god, if you don't stop it, I'll smack you. Jane let out a sigh and let a hand run through her hair. That woman will be the death of her.
Look at her face...her eyes..her lips...so kissable...so very kissable... Jane bit down on her bottom lip and looked at her lips dreamily. I'm so fucked. Jane went into the dressing room, where Maura stood half naked and pushed her up against the wall, her hands gripping her hips as she pressed her lips against Maura's, kissing her passionatly.
God Jane, you are more than fucked. What are you doing!?
Maura was startled, but not surprised that Jane had followed her into the dressing more. She had left the door unlocked for that purpose. Now she was pressed against the wall in the enclosed space and she was being kissed by the lovely bodyguard like no other had kissed her.
She felt instantly in love. Her hands wrapped around Jane's upper body as they kissed and she tilted her head slightly, deeping the kiss and opening her mouth a more to take Jane's lips deeper.
Jane sighed contently into the kiss and kissed her with more passion. She rubbed her tongue against Maura's, exploring her mouth with her tongue. She gripped her hips tigther, pressing herself even harder against the smaller blonde. It felt so good to kiss her. So freeing.
Maura moaned and breathed heavily as they basically made out in the confines of the dressing room.
"Mmm...god..." she mumbled between kisses. She moved hips and groin faster as if she wanted...needed to get off. Slowly. she backed, slid against the wall to the small bench.
Jane watched her sliding down against the wall and to the bench. She took a deep breath and let a hand run through her hair.
"Well you should really take that outfit...it's breathtaking." Jane said with a smirk and let her fingertips run over Maura's arm before she left the dressing room.
Maura sat there, blinking and staring at the now closed door. She was left breathing heavily, with flushed cheeks, and a crazy rambling mind. It took her a while to ground herself again, get dressed, and then come out with a few things that she was going to purchase. She half smiled as she passed Jane, but her eyes said more. They told Jane that she was a tease.
Jane only grinned and raised a brow. As Maura paid, Jane took her bags, so Maura could look through other stuff in another store without having the bags in the way.
"You do know that...if your father ever finds out he most likely will fire me, right?" Jane asked her and watched her going through stuff.
"I won't let him," Maura laughed out softly as Jane took her bags. She smiled a little and shrugged.
"He would give me anything I wanted...I don't see why you would be so wrong," she said, what striked Jane as odd for her to say, but also endearing. Maura paused at a coffee shop and looked at Jane.
"You want something?"
"A coffee would be indeed nice. Iced coffee, even." Jane said and followed Maura inside the coffee shop.
"And I do think your father doesn't like seeing his staff fucking his daughter." Jane said bluntly.
"I don't think he'll be less angry just becuse I am a woman. I am his staff and you are his daughter... And didn't you say he wants you to marry someone that he picks for you and all? I just don't think hooking up with his staff would be something he'd approve." Jane said matter of factly.
Maura paused and turned to Jane, staring into her eyes. She studied them and chewed in on her lower lip.
"I don't think I agree with that," she said and then opened the door. Once they stepped inside, Maura took Jane's hand within hers and walked up to the ordering counter.
"I could convince him to pick anyone...if you want to know the truth."
"Oh so it's not as bad as you said. You still get a say to whom you wanna be with..." Jane said and let go of Maura's hand. She wasn't used to holding hands or anything of that like.
"I don't know what you are hinting at but...Miss Doyle, I avoid relationships. I hook up occasionly but that's it." Jane explained.
Maura looked faintly hurt at Jane's words, but it faded very quickly. She nodded.
"Fine," she said softly and turned toward the counter to order them two iced coffees. She cast her a sideways glance as she paid and then they waited for their drinks.
"Whatever you want..." she added.
Jane knew she hurt her with these words and sighed. As the iced coffees were done, she took one and sat down on a table with her.
"Miss Doyle...it has nothing to do with you." Jane said and looked into her eyes. "My brother...he was in the same business as I am...and he had a relationship...a great one. Her name was Dana and they were gorgeous together...Then he got hired to do some job, doesn't matter what it was, but...he never returned and I saw how it broke Dana...how broken she still is. And I swore to myself not to do relationships while I am working in that kinda business. I don't want you...to be broken like Dana if something happens to me." She said and looked into her eyes.
Maura sat and stared at Jane as she spoke. Then she said her side.
"Just because it happened to your brother, doesn't mean it will happen to you. I am sorry that it did, but you are not him and not letting yourself be with anyone at all...makes you unhappy." She smiled a little and took a drink of her coffee.
Jane shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know if I am unhappy. I focus at my job and it distracts me. No time to wonder if I am happy." She said and drank a sip of her coffee. "It's been a long time. I was 15 when my brother died...he was ten years older than I am." She told her and leaned back. "I never had a relationship before...I was too afraid. So I don't know what I am missing...I am fine with hooking up occasionally."
"I am sorry about your brother," Maura said and she really was sorry. She didn't want death to be the reason that anyone avoided relationships or another person. She sighed and rubbed the back of her neck.
"I won't push you anymore...I apologize for doing so in the first place," she said with a s mile. Maura was a lot nicer than Jane had thought she was.
"Trust me, you are not pushing me. I don't let myself get pushed." She said matter of factly and drank another sip from her coffee.
"I merely wanted to point out beforehand that if something happens between us...it's just sex. Nothing more. No attachments." Jane said and studied her face.
"If you can live with that...and keeping your mouth shut towards your father...I won't say no to some fun.." She said bluntly.
Maura licked her lips and stared at Jane. She smiled a little.
"Ok," she said and took a long sip of her coffee. She fully planned on keeping it that way. Maura finally stood and walked over to the trash can. She looked over her shoulder at Jane and offered her another smile.
Jane gave her nod, unsure what her 'ok' meant. Was it an 'Ok', she understood or an 'ok' I wanna do it. Jane emptied her iced coffee and threw the cup into the trash can.
"Thanks for the coffee, Miss Doyle." Jane said and took the bags with her belongings again.
"More shopping?" She asked her.
"I am actually good I think. I just wanted something to go out in. I have the shoes I need at home. I am ready to go home...unless," she paused, looking up a Jane with a smile.
"Unless, there is something that you want to look at."
Jane raised her brow.
"Oh in case you haven't noticed. I am not such a shopping girl like you are. And I surely would go shopping for me when I am off duty, Miss Doyle." Jane said with a dimpled smile.
"Well alright then," she said with a matching smile. Maura's eyes lit up when it came to Jane and Jane knew it. It was different now...more than it had been in weeks. Maura was still spoiled, but she had a very endearing side to her.
"Home it is, then," she added.
"Home it is." Jane mirrored her words and gave Maura a smile before she left the café with her. While she walked with her towards the car, she couldnt help but glance over to her sometimes, and every now and then, even their hands shortly touched.
Maura noticed the subtle glances and the slight hand touches. She smiled to herself. She liked the teasing games that they played. On the ride home, they talked about anything that came to mind. The house was quiet when they got home, but for the workers in the house. Maura walked with Jane up to her room, opened the door and stepped inside.
Jane placed Maura's shopping bags on her bed.
"I gotta say...I don't know what your father said to you but...I like the changes...less bitchy suits you better." Jane said to her and gave her a wink.
"Well alright, Miss Doyle, inform me if you wanna leave the property again." Jane said.
"Jane," she said as the woman started to turn and leave. She grabbed her wrist to stop her. They met eyes.
"Don't leave. I don't want you to," she said in even softer words. Maura's cheeks were a little flushed now. Her eyes were deeper in color and Jane could almost read the woman's thoughts.
