Sorry for the delay in updating. I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all you lovely people for following along and your wonderful comments. They are greatly appreciated. Also, just a heads up that this is the end of the line for the "teasing" and the next two chapters will be earning the M rating. You have been warned.
Jane stares at the door for a second trying to let her brain work through to all that has transpired before smoothing out her dress and following after the blonde.
Maura is already half way down the hallway before she stops to let the detective catch up to her. She knows that Jane is behind her when she feels a hand gently grab her hip. She turns and looks into chocolate eyes.
"We could just leave now. Call them later and tell them I got sick or…" Jane tries persuading the blonde, but Maura cuts her off.
"No, Jane, we are not leaving. You have to be here. This," Maura gestures between the two of them, "this can wait a few more hours."
Jane pouts and the blonde captures her lips is a quick kiss.
"I am just as aroused as I imagine you are and I want nothing more than to take you home and have my way with you." This makes Jane tighten her grip on the doctor's hips.
"We have to go back in there. You're receiving an award, Jane. Your family and friends are here to support you. Now, wipe that look on your face and lets go."
Maura's little speech has done the opposite of what she intended. Jane loves bossy Maura and isn't sure that anything less than a jackhammer could pry her fingers off the blondes waist.
"Mauraaaaa." Jane whines before pushing the blonde against the wall and biting down on her shoulder.
"Jane Rizzoli." Maura groans out, trying to be stern, but failing miserably. Jane takes it as encouragement and continues to ravish her neck. She nips and licks at the soft flesh causing the other woman's eyes to roll back. Jane pushes her body against the doctor's and begins to roll her hips.
"Are you sure we can't leave?" The detective husks out against the shell of Maura's ear, causing the blonde to shiver.
"Ja…Jane..stop…stop." Maura gasps and pushes her away with shaky hands. She runs her hands down the front of her pants trying to keep her fingers busy. She wants to grab Jane by the hand and pull her out of here and to the car. She smirks when she thinks that they'd probably not even make it out of the parking lot.
Maura finally looks up into chocolate eyes burning intensely with desire and almost loses her resolve.
"Alright, detective. Let's get back in there. I'm sure they are missing us by now." Maura says squaring her shoulders.
"Fine, doctor." Jane mocks. They walk down the hall and Jane opens the door, allowing Maura to pass through first. Jane follows Maura back to their seats. During the walk she's admiring the view and imagining gripping that tight ass firmly in her hands while Maura thrusts into her. She feels her face get red and tries to shake her head clear of all those salacious thoughts as they reach their destination.
Jane chooses to ignore the suspicious looks her brother and Frost are throwing her as she sits down. Maura sits next to her and takes a drink of her wine.
"Oh good Janie, Maura took care of you." Angela smiles across the table at them.
"Yes, she did. She has real skills." Jane snarks.
"I was worried; you two were gone for a while." Angela remarks.
"Yeah. Sorry, we got a little caught up…I thought we were going to have to leave, but Maura convinced me to stay. " Jane remarks innocently. She hears the blonde cough.
"No problem at all. Really. I would hate for Jane to miss her award." Maura shoots Jane a glance and the detective has to bite her lip to keep from laughing.
"Well good. They are getting ready to start." Korsak chimes in.
They sit in relative silence Maura drinking her wine and Jane drinking her beer, both willing the time to go faster.
"Are you ready Jane?" Frost asks shaking Jane out her x-rated reverie.
"What?" the detective asks.
"You're up next," Frankie says, "you got your speech ready?" Jane sits up straight.
"What speech. I'm gonna say thanks, smile, and go home." She looks at Maura when she says home; causing the blonde to smile.
"Jane!" Angela hisses.
"What Ma?" Jane hisses back.
Maura knows that Jane is nervous about the award and that she has added a bit of fuel to the fire with her 'plan'. She rubs a soothing hand over Jane's knee to get her to calm down.
The change is almost instantaneous and the brunette can feel the tension leaving her body with each soothing stroke of the blonde's hand.
"Look. I really am just going to say thank you and that's it. I'm not the only person receiving an award and I don't want to take up a lot of time. I want to thank the people that matter and give everyone else their turn. That's it." Jane says urging her mother and the rest of the table to understand.
Angela smiles and Korsak nods. Frost and Frankie grunt their agreement.
"I don't mean to be rude. I am glad you're all here, really, but it's been a long week and I'm tired." The detective explains a bit more softly. She feels Maura squeeze her knee and smiles over at her.
"Jane is right. It has been a long week. I know we're all tired and ready to go home. I'm sure whatever Jane has decided to say will be fine." The blonde says with a note of confidence.
Angela smiles across the table at the two women and can't help but feel herself getting a bit chokes up. She knows how they feel about each other because they are terrible at hiding it. She just wants them both to be happy and hopes that one day soon they will stop being so afraid and go for it.
"You girls are right. It has been a hell of a week. I'm sure Maura's right, Janie, you'll do fine." Angela says supportively.
"Alright, let's get it over with." Jane mumbles and heads for the as she hears them call her name. There is applause as she walks toward the stage and she tires her hardest to not fall up the stairs.
When she gets to the top she heads toward the podium and someone hands her a medal and piece of paper. She takes them, smiling and stands behind the podium; willing her hands not to shake. She takes a deep breath and looks out over the audience; she's looking for a specific set of eyes. Gorgeous hazel eyes that will get her through this. She smiles as soon as she seems them. Maura gives her a little wave and she knows she can begin.
"Thank you, so much for this. It is an honor to be here with all of you. I can't express enough how much this means to me. I want to thank my partner Barry Frost, for always having my back. My former partner Vince Korsak, for being a great guy and still having my back. Also, my brother Frankie, you're going to make one hell of a detective. My ma, of course, for always believing in me. And l want to thank Maura Isles my best friend, for keeping me on my toes and for making me strive to be a better person. I love you…..all, very much. Thank you." Jane nods at the crowd and turns to walk down the stairs. She amazed by the applause and pats on the back she receives as she heads back to her table.
Maura is tearing up at Jane's' words, but trying not to cry openly. Angela is right there next to her grabbing Jane up in a hug as soon as she reaches them.
"Ok, ma, jesus." Jane laughs as she playfully pushes her mother away. Korsak, Frankie, and Frost are next murmuring their congrats and hugging her. Then it's Maura's turn.
Jane turns to look at the blonde standing next to her with unshed tears threatening to fall. They simply look at each other for a while before Maura can speak.
"Jane, that was amazing and very sweet. I…..thank you." The blonde whispers. Jane smiles and wraps her up in a fierce hug, not caring who might be watching, she only wants to feel Maura against her.
They separate and sit down at the table. Jane feels Maura's fingers brush against hers and winds them together with hers. They smile at each other warmly; knowing that in less than an hour they will be headed back to Maura's.
Jane's smile turns to a smirk and she squeezes the blonde's hand. She is starting to get butterflies at the prospect of all the things she knows Maura has in store for her. She shudders at the thought creeping into her brain.
Maura looks up at her and has no trouble figuring out what the brunette is thinking. She strokes her finger lightly over the back of the detectives hand and gives her a wolfish grin.
"Soon, Jane. Sit tight and before you know it we'll be home and I'll have you screaming my name." Maura rasps and licks her lips.
