AN: Hey guys! Most of you guys have left me nice little comments. I appreciate those. A couple have been a little more in-depth and that is okay because when ever we put things out there we should be ready for a little constructive criticism right? Just keep in mind this is fiction and NOT real life. Some of you might be a little upset by this next chapter. That was all the warning you will get. But I will answer a couple of questions I have received.
First, do I think Maura is stupid? Of course not. What kind of question is that? I will tell you that in my opinion after watching the TV show that we all love, I think we can all agree that Maura's professional demeanor is very conservative. She is very regimented, she does things a particular way and doesn't veer from her process, right? That is one of the things we love about her. As much as we all know the reddish-brown stain is blood, she waits. So I think she is just the opposite in her personal life. She let's go. She does what feels good to her. She get's naked for the inspirational speaker/sculpture/serial killer after meeting him that day. She carries a "leg shaving kit" in her purse on dates. She has every intention of sleeping with Giovanni until he wants to lick her face. So don't be so angry...she has these tendencies. I think Maura isn't exactly sure what love is. I think we see (on TV) Maura in more 'sexual type' encounters because that is a physical response from her body her brain can identify and understand. I can only remember the one relationship, Ian, in which Maura had past experiences/relationship with and because that hurt her so much she pushes love away because she identifies love with pain.
Second, Yes! I know what i am writing. Thanks for being concerned for me. I will not give away the story details because they are not yet posted. I know the end game in my head. So you guys can keep reading which is awesome and I thank you for allowing me to share this story with you but if you don't like it then please stop reading it because Fan Fiction is meant to be enjoyable.
Third, I know that so far Jane is a little absent. Please don't worry she is coming back. And that's why we all love Jane right. She is the opposite of Maura. She fights for what she wants. She does know and understand and feel love very deeply and very different from Maura.
And lastly, at the end of the day this is just a story I had in my head. I was watching the show one day and I thought, what if someone like this showed up? What if this person was someone no body saw coming? What would happen to our girls? Are they really supposed to be with each other or are they (wait for it...wait for it) just supposed to be friends? I know...crazy thought.
That's enough rambling from me! Hope you enjoy... if not don't read it. -R
Maura felt trapped. What did she just hear? It couldn't be what she thought.
Shay took a small step toward Maura forcing Maura to retreat. And then another and another until Maura ran out of room standing against the back door.
"That feeling is fear Maura and you should be afraid. You don't know me. I met you less than 24 hours ago. How do you know I am anything I said I was? How do you know I have not lured you hear to kill you?" Shay said leaning down so that she and Maura were inches apart.
"I don't know" Maura whispered in response.
"What are you going to do?" Shay asked.
"I don't know" Maura said honestly. She was frozen. Frozen with fear. Frozen with excitement being so close to someone she was wildly attracted to. "Are you going to hurt me?" she asked quietly.
"No" Shay responded slowly backing away. "I am not going to hurt you Maura but I am not a good guy. I am here to protect you but I am also here to kill at least 3 people. Please don't forget that Maura"
"You are doing that to protect innocent people, not just me" Maura offered. "That makes you a hero not a bad person".
"Hero" Shay laughed sarcastically. "Not really Maura but thanks". Shay said turning and walking into the living room.
Maura took a deep breath. Whatever had just happened left her slightly breathless and turned on. She was completely wrong in her assessment of Special Agent Shay Dorsey. She thought she was a mild-mannered civil servant doing her job in a lonely existence. Maura now understood that this beautiful person was troubled and haunted by something. She could see it in her usually clear green eyes. They had turned dark and grey which left Maura slightly weak in the knees.
Agent Dorsey sat down on the couch sinking into the cushion as Maura followed her with her eyes. She watched as Agent Dorsey put her hand over her eyes and began rubbing.
Maura sensed conflict radiating from the agent and joined her in the living room sitting closer than necessary.
"Shay I do trust you" Maura said gently as she placed her hand on the Agents knee. "I know you will do whatever you have to do to keep me safe, even if that means you have to do something bad to do something good."
Maybe Dr. Maura Isles does understand me Shay thought as she met her eyes with Maura's. "I promise I will" Shay replied.
Maura leaned into the agent and placed her head on Shay's shoulder. "So what do we do now?" Maura asked.
"You go about your regular routine. You will go to work. We will give the impression that we are dating. I will need you to spread that rumor around BPD because I am sure there is a leak in the department somewhere. My agents and I will work to assess the greatest threats to your safety and eliminate them one by one until you are safe. That is really all I have so far, but I want it to happen quickly and when it starts chances are all hell will break loose around Boston." Shay said with a yawn.
"Maybe you should get some sleep" Maura said sweetly.
"I don't sleep much anymore" Shay replied. Maura's heart melted a little because she knew that was an honest response.
"Chronic sleep deprivation can cause decreased performance and alertness, cognitive impairment, mood swings, high blood pressure, obesity, poor quality of life"
"Maura" Shay said cutting off the doctor's rattling of symptoms she was already suffering from.
Maura stopped speaking and looked up at the Agent realizing that was not new information.
"Sorry, I tend to ramble on about things sometimes. Jane refers to it as Google mouth." Maura said.
"It's fine Maura, but I know the side effects of chronic sleep deprivation. I have most of those things I am sure" Shay replied.
"Maybe I can help you release some stress." Maura said unsure of where she was getting this courage from. She leaned in and placed a light kiss on perfect lips.
It had been a long time since Maura had kissed anyone. Dennis the psycho serial killer was her last romantic fling. She was nervous and excited all at the same time. The kiss was soft and gentle and initiated by Dr. Isles. She could feel the tension in Agent Dorsey's lips begin to fade as she finally reciprocated the kiss.
Maura moved closer and placed her hand behind Shay's head pulling her closer without breaking their embrace. Where she was getting all of this courage from Maura was not sure but she was enjoying it. She was not willing to give it up just yet. She very much wanted to see where it would take her. It is something she never had experienced with Jane and she was still trying to analyze why. She pulled back from the growing kiss as she realized she had Jane on her mind.
"Maura" Agent Dorsey replied softly.
"I um" Maura started but was silenced by Shay's lips back on hers. This time the only person in her mind was the agent in front of her. This kiss was sensual and passionate and growing. Shay pushed Maura back on the couch till she was lying down as Maura wrapped both of her arms around Shay's neck to pull her closer as Shay used her arm's to prop herself up so she was not laying on the Medical Examiner. Maura was using all her strength to pull the Agent down on top of her but she could not move the stronger woman. For as strong as she was, her kiss was gentle. She caressed Maura's lips with her own lightly brushing her tongue along Maura's bottom lip. Maura smiled into the kiss realizing the opposing forces that undoubtedly ruled Agent Dorsey's life. Good and bad, strong and weak, hard but gentle. Maura slightly parted her lips inviting more intimate contact from the object of her desire. As their tongues touched for the first time Shay lost all the strength in her upper body as she laid her body down on top of Maura's.
