A/N: I DO NOT own any part of the Law & Order franchise. Like I said...I can't stop writing this story. Hm see I've got all the drama stored in my head and I keep finding places to put it but the smut just takes over. I also don't own the song Feelin' Good (see previous chapter) or Bubble Pop Electric by Gwen Stefani. Dear reviewer: I love you. Every chapter I write is for you. Thanks for being here for me. I'm already thinking of a sequel after the case is solved and Jodi and John are together, but there are still many chapters to go here. Well I'm rewatching this episode and it turns out Cragen's suspension was 10 days so I'll be having fun with this :)!
Evening, Officer
Jodi yawned tiredly as she dozed in the back of Dr. Huang's car. After her tiring performance she wanted nothing more than to sleep but she wanted to be with John first.
Her performance had been spectacular if she said so herself despite the fact that she never really was one to gloat. By auctioning off her top hat for Feelin' Good and her authentic "Pink Ladies" style jacket for Bubble Pop Electric she'd earned the club over fifty grand and a nice chunk of that went into her paycheck.
After a half-hour catnap Dr. Huang awoke her when they arrived in front of the 16th Precinct building. Jodi stepped out still wearing her last costume, a huge poodle skirt and see-through white blouse. Her red hair was tied up on top of her head with a bow and she looked like an authentic 1950's teenager.
Dr. Huang escorted her up the nearly-empty building which was unusually quiet. He had only been here this late once which was the reason for his current suspension.
When they entered the room was completely dark and empty save for John's desk where a small lamp was lit.
"Hey John." Dr. Huang greeted him.
John looked up tiredly and waved then looked at Jodi and did a double take at her outfit. It was a complete change from the one he had previously seen her in.
"Jodi..." he started staring at her. The blouse she wore clung marvelously to her large breasts and accentuated her hourglass figure as it disappeared into the poufy skirt. The high ponytail and lack of makeup screamed fake innocence. He'd never seen her look so....cute. Was that the word for it?
Dr. Huang looked back and forth between the two. They were both staring at each other like hungry wildcats and the sexual energy in the room was obvious. There was a difference between tension and energy. The tension was unspoken and unfueled but here...it was pure energy. They were sleeping together. The way they were looking at each other.
"Um...I guess I'll leave then." Huang pursed his lips and slowly walked backwards.
"Bye. Thanks for everything." Jodi waved still staring at John.
Dr. Huang rapidly turned and descended the stairs already knowing what was about to happen.
The moment he disappeared John walked over to Jodi and grabbed her, throwing her down on one of the desks.
"This outfit..." he started kissing her glitter-covered neck.
"Yes?" she giggled.
"...is insanely sexy." he continued burying his face in her neck.
"Really?" Jodi laughed.
"Mmhm."
Jodi closed her eyes content as his lips continued to travel around her neck.
"What time can we leave?" she gasped.
"What's the rush?" he started to make a move towards her shirt.
"Well I'm tired...but if we go back to your place I promise I'll give you something in return."
She grabbed his hands from her shirt and pushed them back at him them stood up. He stared at her for a moment before resolutely closing the folders on his desk and turning off them lamp so that they were in darkness except for the lights outside.
"March young lady." he commanded and slapped her ass.
The ride back to John's home was much anticipated because they both knew what was coming. On the way there neither could stop touching each other. Jodi almost caused him to rear-end someone when she'd rub her hand up and down his thigh.
They finally stopped in front of his brownstone and both rushed out of the car. Jodi waited anxiously as he dug out his key and unlocked the door. She walked in cautiously unsure of what to expect. John turned the light on revealing his messy boy-ish apartment. Papers and beer cans littered the floor and the corner of his living room was crammed with the most updated technology.
"It's shitty. I know." he looked at Jodi.
"No it's perfect actually." she smiled at him genuinely and he could tell she actually meant it. Back in Baltimore all of his previous wives had been disgusted with his bachelor pad. One even demanded he take her to a hotel.
"Would you like me to show you around?" he asked.
"Of course!" she exclaimed and grasped his hand. He led her around the cluttered building. Jodi took everything in like she already belonged.
He led her upstairs to his bedroom which was slightly cleaner because he actually had to sleep there. Jodi collapsed on the old mattress and the springs protested nosily. Much different from her Swedish memory-foam one.
She looked up at him over her eyelashes. He looked so damn cute standing there bashfully.
"Come here." she extended her arms and grinned.
He jumped into them pushing her onto the bed. It creaked ominously and John paused alarmed waiting for Jodi's reaction. She only laughed then began to kiss him.
"Don't worry I love it." she whispered in his ear before nibbling on it. John grabbed her arms and held them over her head then surveyed her.
"What?" she giggled.
"You just look like a 1950s schoolgirl." he mused.
"Oh?! Do you like it?" she raised an eyebrow.
"Actually I do. But I may have to punish you..."
"Oh? For what?"
"I don't know...insubordination?"
"But sir!"
"And now talking back."
"But Detective."
"That's three strikes Jodi."
"Am I going to be punished?"
"Nothing goes unpunished. Stand up."
She lifted herself up off the bed trying not to laugh then stood in front of John. He grabbed her waist and pulled her over then looked at her for a moment.
"You have to do everything I say."
"Yes sir."
"Take off this skirt." he tugged impatiently at the material.
She grabbed the zipper in the back and pulled it down then dropped the full skirt. Of course she had to take her clothes off during her performance so she had on full 50's style lingerie underneath but John didn't know that.
"Good. Now that shirt."
She took her time with the blouse, unbuttoning each button deliberately slowly. She could see John breathing hard already and grinned internally. She let the shirt drop revealing an ivory and black lace corset, thong, garter, and thigh high ensemble underneath.
"Wha-?" John was left speechless.
"Is something wrong sir?" Jodi batted her lashes.
"I um....damn Jodi. Just get the fuck over her."
She walked closer to him and he traced his finger up the material.
"How do I get this shit off?" he asked.
She grabbed on of his hands and unclipped one of the garter belts then turned her other leg so he could do it himself. He unfastened it then found the zipper on her back and pulled it down letting the clothing case fall down around her.
"Take that off." he motioned at the thong.
She grabbed the floss-thin material and pulled it down slowly and seductively making eye contact with him the entire time.
He grabbed her voluptuous body and threw her down underneath him then ripped his own clothes off in animalistic lust.
He couldn't even spend any time playing around now. He was so hard he thought he was going to implode. He grabbed her legs and opened them then shoved all of himself into her. She gasped and dug her nails into his back. He pulled out almost all the way then pushed in again and began drilling into her. Jodi gripped his shoulders and bit her lip as his hardened member moved inside of her. Each movement was pure bliss. She grabbed one of the pillows and put it over her face as she began to scream. He was going so hard on her it was unlike him and she loved every moment of it. She wrapped her legs around his waist tightly as he slid in and out.
John listened to Jodi's muffled screams as he continued to pleasure her. He had imagined this all day. From the time he had walked into the precinct all the way to the brutal carride home where she continued to touch him. Her body was like a drug to him now. He needed it, wanted it.
Jodi closed her eyes immersed in the scent of John on the pillow covering her face and the waves of pleasure that were racking her body. The way he had just attacked her brought out an entirely different side of him she had never seen. Her nails dug into her skin as she tightened her legs around his waist almost at her point of climax.
John grabbed the pillow from her face and threw it across the bed so that he could kiss her. Her entire face was flushed bright red like it got before she climaxed.
John looked down at the red flush that crept over her chest. John kissed it before grabbing one of her shaking breasts. She bucked wildly before tensing and digging her nails so vigorously into his back that he hissed through his teeth.
She fell limp underneath him and John let himself release into her knowing she couldn't take anymore. He fell next to her weakly and she rolled into his arms happily.
"By the way I'm in charge for the rest of the week." John talked tiredly into her hair.
"Hm?" Jodi raised her eyebrows confused.
"At the SVU. Cragen got suspended for the rest of the week leaving yours truly in charge."
"Oh? Well I guess you can explain or maybe show me your new...perks would they be?"
He chuckled then kissed her forehead. She was here. In his home. In his bed. And unlike most of his dates she wasn't complaining about the mess or even looking uncomfortable. She was perfect.
They lay there in silence and in a matter of seconds Jodi's chest began to rise and fall in spaces. John looked down at her closed eyes. In moments John himself fell asleep moments later.
************
John awoke only two hours later as Jodi began to stir in his arms. Her jerky movements startled him and he looked at the clock. It was only three in the morning which meant he had at least four more hours of sleep as long as nothing happened.
"No." she continuously muttered in her sleep. John stared unsure of what to do before she finally awoke screaming. She sat up shocked for a moment before breaking into uncontrollable tears.
John sat up and gently placed his hands on her arms and kissed her shoulder.
"What is it?" he whispered in her ear tenderly tucking back a piece of red hair. She ignored him leaning over and bringing her knees up to her face before burying her head in them.
She had woken with nightmares for weeks now and had learned do just get a drink and just go back to bed but she felt so weak now waking up like this in front of John. He probably thought she was being unbelievably dumb and vain.
"C'mhere." John muttered and forcibly pulled her shaking body into his. She fought against him but he kept a tight grip on her.
"It's okay..." he kissed her forehead then moved her arms away and compassionately tilted her chin up. Her red face was streaked with tears. He kissed her lips softly then hugged her. She took a moment to respond before finally burying her head in his chest and wrapping her arms around him.
He leaned back and put a few pillows behind his back to prop himself up and let her cry on his chest. Eventually her sobs dwindled down to mere sniffles and John thought it was safe to inquire.
"What's wrong?" he asked into her fruit-scented hair.
"Just these stupid nightmares. Shit I'm sorry I know how stupid that sounds."
"What kind of dreams?"
"Nightmares. About..." she trailed off and he already knew. He grabbed her tightly.
"He's not going to get you Jodi. There's no fucking way I'll let him."
"I know I just...I feel...I'm scared."
"I'm here."
She wrapped her arms around his skinny body tighter as if he would disappear. John tightened his grip as well feeling protective. The hell if he'd liet that psychopath get her. He'd do whatever it took to keep the bastard away even if it meant killing the guy himself.
***********
Jodi woke up to an empty bed and almost began panicking before she realized where she was. She lay there for a moment before sitting up slowly. Her hair was tousled and all over her head but she didn't care. She looked around the messy room. One of John's shirts sat on the floor so she scooped it up and slid it on quickly taking in his scent. She only buttoned a few buttons and let the sleeves fall past her hands. It surprised her that the shirt was so big since he was so skinny and she had so large of a chest.
She walked slowly through his home taking everything in. She herself wasn't actually a clean person, she was just meticulous about the way her mess looked. Not to mention the fact she had housekeeping that cleaned up for her. John's home was just cozy enough. She walked down the creaky stairs as quiet as possible into the living room then the kitchen. John was sitting at the table sipping a cup of coffee.
She walked over to him trying to push her little incident during the night. John looked up at her and smiled.
"Morning." he almost chirped.
"Hi." she said softly.
John looked at her. She was wearing one of his shirts and it looked pretty damn good on her too, hugging her in all the right places and skimming over everything else.
"I like that." he grinned her pulled her into his lap. She crossed her long legs so they extended over the table. John put his hand feeling the silky smooth feel of them.
"So what's going on today?" she asked.
"Well...Elliot found his son so I was thinking maybe I'd take the morning off and we'll do whatever. Then after lunch...well how'd you feel coming into the office with me?"
"For how long?"
"The rest of the night. Any good at secretarial work?"
"I suppose."
"Good I'll have a solid excuse for having you with me. You can help with my work. How about it?"
She nodded without even mulling the situation over. Of course she'd like to go with him.
"You hungry?" he asked.
"Well it is morning."
"And that means?"
"Of course I am!"
"Fine. I know this great place."
"I think I'll need some clothes too."
"Maybe. We'll stop by your place."
"Okay."
The both looked at each before going for the much-anticipated kiss. It was only eight in the morning and both of their sexual overdrives had already begun to kick in.
John ran his hand up Jodi's thigh knowing she had nothing on underneath his shirt. She leaned into him as if urging him to slide his hand completely underneath the thin fabric and where she wanted it.
Just as he brushed her sensitive spot his phone rang.
"I'm going to smash this fucking thing one day." he sighed and answered it.
Jodi climbed off of him and began to walk away before he answered it.
"Man where the hell are you?" Fin's voice raged.
"Excuse me?"
"Everyone down here is running around like their heads got chopped off. No one knows what to do! When the hell are you getting here man?"
"I-Okay fine. I'll be down there in about an hour, hour and a half maybe."
"Hour and a half?! We don't have that much ti-"
John hung up before he partner could say anything else and stood up. Well there went his nice morning with Jodi.
He walked up the stairs so he could tell her and figured from the sound of running water she was in the shower. He opened the bathroom door already greeted by a column of steam. He pulled back the curtain without hesitation and was greeted by a very sensual Jodi lathering up her hair in the steamy mist.
She looked at him and winked, her entire body slippery and shining with water.
"Ch-um change of plans?" he stuttered staring at her body.
"Hmm?" Jodi grinned before turning and giving him a view of the other side as well.
"I uh-I have to...g-go into the office early." he felt his heart begin to pound in his chest.
"Mmm." she moaned in response teasing him.
John stared at her ass feeling the heat rush through his body. She knew what she was doing. She also must have known there was only so much longer he could watch her without touching.
"So...yeah..." he continued almost gasping. She turned around and swung her wet hair from her face and gently trailing one of her hands from her neck downward.
He continued staring as she posed for him, meeting his eyes and sending a chill up his spine every time he looked into them.
She finally stopped and stared at him before giving a slight smile and crooking her finger for him to join her in the shower.
As usual his body did the talking for him as he instinctively reached for his shirt and untucked it from his pants. He quickly stripped out of his neat clothes before stepping in quickly and joining her. As soon as he stepped into the hot water he wrapped his arms around her body pressing his fingers into her soft skin.
He kissed her neck feeling her relax underneath his touch. She moved from underneath him and bent over putting her hands against the wall. John looked down. She was ready and waiting. He put his hands on her waist and slid into her then adjusted himself before quickly pushing into her.
Her body rocked forward with each thrust. She moaned loudly, willing herself to come as quickly as possible.
John's eyes rolled in the back of his head as he slid in and out of her wet passage. Never before had a woman driven him this crazy. In his past he did have a habit of throwing women away after a somewhat-satisfactory one-night stand but he couldn't get enough of Jodi. Or fucking her.
After a few minutes the two cried out after sharing a climax. John's phone rang irritably on the floor but he ignored it as they showered before finally getting out.
John put on his now-wrinkled clothes again and waited as Jodi grabbed a towel and began to dry herself off. He grabbed it away from her then wrapped it around her body and began helping her. He dried off the wet spots caringly. She giggled as he kissed her on the forehead and ran his fingers across her soft shoulders. She was one of the only women he'd been with that didn't demand being treated like a princess, which only made him want to.
"I'll need some clothes." she giggled.
"Yeah I know. We'll stop by your place first and grab something."
She nodded the smiled.
"John?" she began.
"Yeah?"
"I....I uh,..." as the blush crept through her cheeks John wondered what she was going to say.
"What is it?"
"I...never mind." she shook her head and looked away.
John stared at her. Her face was completely red and she refused to meet his eyes. What had to be so apparently embarrassing that she couldn't tell him? He elected not to push the matter any further for fear of upsetting her.
"Go get one of my shirts and throw that on just for the car."
She nodded and walked across the hall to his bedroom. This would be an exciting day.
************
Everyone stared as John walked in with his red-headed mistress. The two looked so oddly coupled that it screamed unspoken words of "look at me!"
Elliot stared over his computer. John and Jodi walked in silently ignoring everyone else. John kept his hand lightly on her waist to look like casual guidance but everyone could tell they were sleeping together.
He led Jodi to his desk before pulling out his chair and motioning for her to sit down.
"I've got to go talk to a couple people then I'll be back. Need anything?" he whispered in her ear.
"No I'm good. Just hurry back." she smiled.
He squeezed her hand under the desk before standing up and making eye contact with Elliot, Olivia, and Fin.
As he began to walk away they all followed him back to Cragen's empty office. The moment he closed the door they all ganged up on him.
"Just what the hell is going on here John?" Elliot stared down John.
"'Scuse me?" John replied innocently.
"So what, did you bring her here so you could add it to the list of places you've banged her?" Elliot retorted.
"Elliot your out of line." John felt heat flood his pale face.
"No John, your out of line. You think no one knows that your fucking her? And you think just because Cragen's not here that you can get awa with it?"
John stared at Elliot emotionless as hundreds of thoughts ran through his mind. How the hell had everyone found out? How could they have found out?
"Any news on the perp?" he asked refocusing his concentration.
Elliot snickered and turned around.
"Yeah. One more body, but it's the same as usual. No DNA, no witnesses, no nothing."
"Well, Fin see what you can find and get back to me. Elliot and Olivia...see what you can dig up on the new case. I have a feeling we're close to wrapping it up/"
Elliot prepared to say something but stopped when Olivia placed a hand on his shoulder. He gave John one last deathly glare before departing with Olivia.
Fin stayed back and looked at John.
"Hey man, you know I'm here for you but Elliot's right. When Cragen finds out-"
"Just stop. He won't find out. Now please stop worrying about me and get out there and see if we can get any closer to the killer."
Fin sighed then opened the door letting his friend handle things on his own.
John followed behind him and walked back to his desk. Jodi was sitting there like he had left her lounging casually with her legs crossed. As John walked towards her she couldn't help but notice the change in his appearance. His shoulders and face were tense and his skin paler than usual.
"What's wrong?" she asked as he pulled up a chair.
He shook his head and reached for a crate of folders and slammed then on his desk. The room was almost empty now except for a few others.
"John." Jodi put her hand on his leg. He twitched underneath her touch momentarily, but then relaxed.
"I'm fine." he lied horribly.
"Talk to me." Jodi rubbed his leg gently. His walls of resolve came down and he surrendered as he looked into her adoring eyes.
"I just...I guess everyone knows about us and Elliot was...I don't know how to explain it."
"I understand. You don't have to. So what does this mean?" she looked worried.
"What do you mean?"
"For us? I mean...do you want to end this or what?"
"End it! Fuck no! Why do you want to?"
"No."
"Alright then. Don't worry we're not ending anything." he smiled and kissed her hand.
"Good. Need any help with anything?"
"Yes as a matter of fact." he patted the crate then stood up to pull the heavy stacks from the black container.
"What's this?" Jodi asked.
"These are the summarized case files from all the victims of your case. I need you to go through and alphabetize each of the victims, then separate the stacks that we visited from the ones we haven't. The rest I'll get to when your finished."
"Okay." she smiled then spread the files out in front of her before getting to work.
John watched her as she worked meticulously. Her red-brown eyebrows furrowed attractively and he felt something weird go through his body. Not the usual sexual chill that went through his body when he looked at her. It was something else. Something different. Something new.
