A/N: So thanks for all of your responses to my question. It makes me feel good you all care. Got a few mixed reviews but most of you wanted lots of sex, so I shall do my best to comply. I have some lovely ideas of where to take our two girls that involve good plot and character development too so I hope I do a good job. Anyway enough rambling, here is chapter 10. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Still don't own anything.
I'm currently sitting in the kitchen with my mother and beautiful girlfriend Maura, waiting for the rest of my family to arrive for Sunday dinner. I was originally supposed to be in New York at a seminar but I ditched that and came home early. I'm so glad I did too because I really missed Maura. Even just a week away from her drove me crazy. I've come to the realization that I need her around almost 24/7. I need to hear her voice, see her, and touch her. It's like I'm addicted to her. Maura is my drug of choice, and I don't plan on every quitting her.
I've been staring at her for a few minutes now and I must have made her uncomfortable because she's looking at me now with a strange face. "What?" she asks me.
"Nothing, I just love staring at you is all." I say with a goofy grin on my face. She smiles at that and walks over to me. She stands between my legs and takes my face in her hands. Thinking that she's going in for a kiss I close my eyes but nothing happens. Opening them, I see her staring intently at me. "What?" I ask, mimicking her earlier question. "What, you can stare but I can't?" she says playfully. I chuckle slightly before grabbing her neck and pulling her to me for a kiss. She responds eagerly, running her tongue along my bottom lip. I open my mouth, granting her access and moan when our tongues make contact.
Just as the kiss is getting heated the doorbell rings and Maura pulls away from me. I groan at the loss of contact and she giggles as she makes her way to the door. I then notice my mother staring at me from across the counter, realizing that she just witnessed our little mini make out session. My cheeks flush as she opens her mouth to reprimand me. "You two better keep it PG while everyone is here, you got it?"
"Yes Ma." I say embarrassedly. Maura makes her way back into the kitchen, Frankie and Frost following behind her. I turn to greet my brother and partner, happy to see them as well. "Hey guys!" I jump up off my seat and follow them into the living room, the TV already on, set to the sports channel. The guys and I sit and watch the game while Maura and Ma get dinner ready in the kitchen. The doorbell rings again and soon after Tommy comes walking into the living room area and sits down. Maura walks over and hands me a beer, giving me a kiss on the cheek as well, before sauntering back to the kitchen.
"Damn I need to get me one of those." Frost says, having witnessed Maura and I. I smile at him before responding. "Sorry bro but she's taken. And you'll never find another woman as good as Maura." I say with a wink. His face falls after my statement and I hear Maura from the kitchen. "Oh thank you baby." my compliment having been heard by her.
The doorbell rings again, and shortly after Korsak makes his way into the house but heads over to talk to my mother instead of joining us "guys" watching the game. I've noticed that Vince and my mother talk a lot. I'm pretty sure something is going on but they're both either too afraid to tell me, or too afraid to actually get together. I'll have to talk to Korsak about it another time.
10 minutes later Ma calls us all to the dining area for dinner. I take my place next to Maura and rest my hand on her thigh as we eat. I decide to get frisky and run my hand up and down, getting dangerously close to her core every time I ascend. She stiffens each time I get close but makes no move to stop me. This spurs me on and the next time I go up I brush against her, hearing a sharp intake of breath. I look over at her face and it's bright red, which causes me to grin like the Cheshire cat.
My little tease goes unnoticed by the rest of our guests so I continue, this time paying more attention to her core than of her thigh. Her breathing starts to quicken as my ministrations get more aggressive, while still keeping what I'm doing a secret. I can tell that she's trying to hold back, not wanting to climax while at the dinner table. Just as I'm about to add more pressure my mother speaks. "Are you okay Maura? You seem flushed." at my mother's question Maura grabs my hand in a vice grip, stopping my assault.
"Yes I'm fine Angela." she says, slightly airy. My mother gives her a skeptical look before dropping it and going back to her food. Maura turns to me and glares, which only makes me laugh. This makes her madder and she shoves my hand away before turning back to her food. I continue eating as well, when I hear the doorbell go off again. That's odd? Who else would be coming over? Maura and I start to get up at the same time before my mother stops us. "I got it." She says as she gets up and heads for the door.
We both sit back down in our seats. I lean over and whisper in her ear. "I'm sorry but you're just too damn sexy for me to keep my hands off you." I solidify my claim by licking her earlobe before pulling away, back to my dinner. I can see her shiver in my peripheral vision and it makes me smile. Looking up I notice Ma walking back inside with a guilty look on her face. I notice who is following behind her and my stomach drops. My eyes turn red as I zero in on non other than Casey.
Instantly I jump up and practically run over to him. "What the fuck do you think you're doing here?!" I scream at him as I punch him straight in the nose. I hear a crack as he goes flying down to the ground and right before I go to tackle him I get grabbed from behind. Looking from side to side I see both Frost and Frankie holding me back. "Let me go! He deserves to have his ass kicked!" I yell at both of them, as I try to get out of their grasps. "No Jane, you don't. I don't want to have to arrest you." I hear Korsak say beside me. I turn and glare at him.
Casey gets up off the floor and my adrenaline hits me, allowing me to break free of Frost and Frankie, and kick Casey right in the balls. He immediately drops to his knees as the guys grab me again. I fight with all my might against them, getting more pissed as time goes on. "Let me go dammit!" I scream at them again. "What the hell is wrong with you Jane?!" Frost yells back.
"I told him if he ever came back here it would be the last thing he ever did!" I'm still yelling but I don't care. All I want to do at the moment is kill Casey. The next thing I know Maura is standing in front of me with both hands resting on my face. Her touch has an almost magic effect on me because I still instantly, my anger dissipating. She looks me right in the eyes before talking.
"Jane, honey, its okay. I'm right here and we're okay. Can you calm down for me please?" her voice is so soft and loving, it warms my heart instantly. All I can do is nod and she smiles. She leans in and plants a sweet kiss on my lips and I feel the guys let go of me. I immediately wrap my arms around Maura and bury my face in the hair on her neck, letting small sobs escape. She wraps her arms around me as well, rubbing my back soothingly. She slowly walks us over to the couch and we sit down.
She pushes me back slightly to look in my eyes. She wipes the fallen tears off my face with her thumbs while whispering softly to me. "It's okay now Jane. He's gone and he won't be coming back, ever." She says sweetly to me.
At her words I look up to find my mother and brother Tommy standing awkwardly in the kitchen, but no sigh of Frankie, Frost or Korsak. Maura notices my confusion and elaborates. "They took Casey away, saying they would handle it. I told Korsak I wanted him out, that he's caused problems for us and he said he would make sure he left for good."
I smile at her, realizing she did in fact protect me like she didn't think she could. My smile catches her off guard I guess because a confused look graces her face. "What?"
"You said earlier that you didn't think you would be able to protect me from Casey, but that's exactly what you just did babe. I'm so proud of you." My hearts swells as I tell her this. I didn't think it was possible for me to love her more but I guess I was wrong.
The biggest grin I've ever seen splits across her face. "I did, didn't I?" seeing her this happy almost makes what just happened completely worth it, almost. It still caused us both pain, but at least Maura was able to protect me like she desperately wanted to.
"You did baby, and you did an amazing job as well." I reach up and brush some of her hair behind her ear before leaning in to kiss her. She responds eagerly and we kiss for a few minutes before I remember my mom and brother. I break away and look over at them.
Blushing, I decide to say something. "Hey, so I'm really sorry about that." I say sheepishly. "Why are you apologizing Janie? That was freakin awesome! You totally kicked his ass!" Tommy says right before Ma smacks him upside the back of his head. "Watch your language Tommy!" she yells at him before turning to glare at me.
"Why can't you be more of a normal girl Janie? Why must you always result to violence? You think I like watching my only daughter beat up someone, even if they deserve it? Are you even okay?" Ma rambles at me.
"I'm fine Ma, and I'm sorry you had to see that but I couldn't control it. Something in me just snapped and I acted. I won't apologize for doing it though. I'm glad I did. Casey needed to know that he can't just come back into my life, trying to stir up shit and take me away from Maura." I try to explain to her.
"Well I don't approve of how you handled it. You should have used your words instead of your fists." Ma scolds me. "I did Ma, about 2 months ago when he showed up the first time. I told him I was with Maura, that we were happy, and to stay away or he would regret it." Ma looked surprised at this information. "When was this?" she asks before realization took over. "That day I heard yelling, that was you and Casey wasn't it?" she asks, even though she knows the answer. I just nod my head as a response.
"Oh." She says, putting her hand to her mouth. She looks between us both for a second. "I'm so sorry girls. We'll leave you alone now." She says before walking away, giving us some privacy. She takes Tommy with her to the guesthouse. I turn back to Maura and she's staring at me intently. "I love you." She says with a smile.
"I love you too Maur. Always have, always will." I say with a quick peck to her lips. "Wanna help me do the dishes?" I stand up, taking her hand, not waiting for a response. She giggles as I lead her over to the table to gather up the remainder of dinner. "What's so funny?" I ask with a handful of plates.
"You being all domestic. You used to complain about not wanting to be domestic with Casey, but now you're willingly doing it with me. It's so sweet." Maura says as she follows me to the kitchen with a handful of dishes of her own. "Ya, ya don't get used to it. This is a rare treat." I say winking at her.
We gather all the dishes and get them washed and put away, cleaning the kitchen in the process. Just as we both sit down at the bar with a glass of wine my phone rings. Looking at the caller ID I notice its Frost, so I pick it up immediately. "Hey Frost what's up"
"So we talked to Casey and he agreed to leave or we told him Maura would press charges for trespassing. Surprisingly he didn't mention anything about you assaulting him. Probably didn't want to go up against all of Boston's finest." Frost chuckles at his last comment. Relief floods over me, knowing that Casey is gone for good. "Thank you so much Frost. I'm sorry you had to see me like that."
"Hey no problem. It was actually pretty cool watching you kick his ass. I'm just glad I was there to break it up before you did anything really stupid."
"Ya I'm glad you were there too. How's Korsak?"
"He's good. He thought you were a badass too. He went home a few minutes ago, saying he was tired."
"Okay good, I'm glad he's not mad at me. Thanks again for coming over tonight. It was good you were here."
"No problem Jane. I'll see you tomorrow." Frost hung up after that. Putting my phone down I turn to Maura. "So Frost said Casey agreed to leave. We're all good now."
"Good, I'm glad. Now we can enjoy the rest of our night in peace." Maura took a sip of her wine, smiling at me. After a couple glasses of wine we decide to call it a night. I take Maura's hand as we head upstairs. Once we get into our bedroom Maura spins me around and gives me a gentle kiss. Once it breaks she looks into my eyes lovingly. "Will you come take a bath with me?" she asks sweetly. Unable to say no to this beautiful woman I nod my head and we make our way to the bathroom.
Maura draws the bath while I brush my teeth and undress. Once the water is warm Maura strips and gets in, beckoning for me to join her. I get in on the opposite side, facing Maura. She pouts at me for not sitting in front of her, but as soon as I take her foot and start massaging it, her eyes close and she moans. After a few minutes she grabs my foot and begins to massage it as well.
"Maura, you know I love you right?" I ask after a long silence. She looks at me confused before responding. "Of course Jane. Why would you ask something like that? Have I made you think otherwise?" she begins to panic towards the end of her response and I instantly feel like shit.
"Oh baby, no, not at all. Sorry, I should have phrased that differently. I just want you to know that I love you, so much so that it hurts. Seeing you today completely stopped my rage, like dead in its tracks. There's never been anyone in my life that was able to affect me like that. You really are special." Her face immediately turns into a smile as I finish my speech, making me feel so much better.
"You know Jane, it's not just you who is madly in love. I happen to be hopelessly lost without you. This week has been proof of make me feel things I never knew existed. My life was incomplete without you. You know I've never really been able to understand people or connect with them, but you were different, right from the start. You gave me the time of day, instead of pushing me away, and I will never be able to thank you for that." Her speech touches my heart to the core. I only now realize that the water has started to get cold and I shiver a little bit.
"How about we get out of here and go to bed. I'm starting to get cold." I say as I stand up and get out of the water. After I'm out I grab a towel for each of us, wrapping Maura up in her. We dry off and make our way into the bedroom, deciding to sleep naked. Body heat is the best way to stay warm after all.
Once in bed Maura curls right up into my side, where she fits perfectly. I begin to rub her back soothingly as I ponder over the day's events. I had no idea when I got home today that Casey would show up and I would kick his ass. I got to say it felt pretty amazing. And then Maura, oh Maura, her beautiful face calming me, her arms holding me while I cried. I literally am the luckiest woman on the planet.
I can feel Maura's steady breathing on my chest so I know she's asleep. Today was a tiring day for the both of us, so I'm glad she's finally getting some rest. And I know we'll both sleep better tonight because we're back in each other's arms, where we belong. I caress the back of her head before planting a kiss there. "Goodnight beautiful girl. Sleep well." I say before drifting off.
Yay Casey's gone for good! And Jane got her ass whoopin in. Hope you all enjoyed. I'll get the next chapter up soon. I'm just having a blast writing this story:)
