Casey entered the Dirty Robber. He was told that he would find retired Sergeant Korsak here. It had been a long time since he had been back in Boston and was surprised to find that Vince had retired and that Jane was a sergeant in homicide.
When he entered, the place looked the same but different somehow. So many places he visited after being away so long looked the same but different. He'd gotten use to the feeling. Angela walked towards him her head down. Casey had hoped to avoid anyone but Korsak but apparently that wouldn't be how this played out for him.
"Excuse me," she said looking up after nearly bumping into him while fumbling for her keys.
"Not a problem," he replied stepping to the side. Angela stared at him as if she were trying to place him. When she did realize who was standing before her, she wished she hadn't. She could have gone the rest of her life without seeing this man.
"Charles."
"Mrs. Rizzoli. Yes it's me. How are you?" She shrugged. She had been better.
"Fine. What are you doing here?" she asked frowning.
"Looking for Sergeant Korsak." She nodded.
"He's in the office. Come wait by the bar."
Casey followed her. Neither of them said anything – Casey because he didn't know what to say and Angela because she was biting her tongue trying to avoid saying what she wanted to. There were many days when he first hurt Jane that she rehearsed what she would say to him when she saw him again. She wanted him to know what a pig he was.
"Wait here," she said stopping at the bar. "I'll get him." Casey nodded and took a seat.
Angela sighed and tapped on the door before opening it.
"Angela, I thought you were gone," Vince said when he looked up from the order sheet.
"You got a visitor," she said not at all happy about it.
Her tone made him cautious. "Who?" he asked afraid of the answer.
"Charles." Vince frowned. "I don't know a Charles, Angela."
"Casey Jones. You remember him? The one that broke Janie's heart."
"Oh, that Charles," he answered with raised eyebrows. He knew how she felt about this particular person. He knew how they all felt. "Angela, I do believe that was for the best. Don't you?"
"Yeah. Janie is happy but he didn't have to be such an ass."
"Agreed. Tell him I'll be out in a second. You better get out of here. You're supposed to be trying to beat the traffic before it gets too heavy."
Vince found Casey sitting at the bar where Angela left him.
"Well, Colonel Jones or is it General Jones now?" he asked extending his hand to shake Casey's.
"General," he answered with a smile. He was proud to return here with that rank on his shoulder.
"How are you? Congratulations on the retirement."
"Thank you. I've enjoyed it so far. Congratulations to you as well." Vince sat on the bar stool next to the one Casey had occupied. Casey did the same.
"What can I do for you General?" Vince asked.
"Casey, please." Korsak nodded.
"Casey, what can I do for you?"
"I was hoping you would be willing to give Elsie a forever home."
"Really?" Vince asked excited at the possibility.
"The old girl is tired of the traveling. She needs to retire and I thought of you."
"Wow, I love that dog."
"Is that a yes?" Casey asked.
"It's a maybe but I need to talk to my wife," Vince explained.
"You got married too?"
"Yeah. Fourth time is the charm. She's a special one," he answered nodding. He did love Kiki. He lucked out with her. She was everything he wanted and needed. She understood him and better yet accepted him and his crazy patchwork family.
"How long will you be in town?" Vince asked.
"A few more days. I'm here visiting my mother as well."
"I'll let you know," Vince said standing.
"Thank you Ser-"
"Vince," Korsak offered.
"Thank you Vince." Casey paused before leaving. "How is Jane?"
"She's good," Korsak replied. Casey nodded. Things didn't end well with them. They both held blame in that but Casey was sure Jane and her friends wouldn't see it that way. They were both too much in love with their careers to make it work. He was a general now and Jane was a sergeant. Seemed the decision was a good one.
"Does she still come in?"
"When she has time."
"Would you tell her I said hello?" Casey asked. Vince shook his head.
"That's for you to do." Vince was right. Casey sighed and left.
Jane entered their home. Normally she would be greeted by three, raven-haired munchkins when she arrived home before dinner. She frowned disappointed when she didn't hear little feet running towards her even though they knew they should not run.
"Hello?" she called out as she removed her jacket tossing it on the back of the chair.
"Jane?" She turned towards the hallway. Jane smiled at the vision of her wife walking towards her. Maura had her hair pulled back and she was dressed in yoga pants and a tank. Jane loved the way her yoga pants highlighted her backside, clinging to those curves and accenting those toned calves. The sight left Jane very hot and bothered.
"Hey sweetie," Jane said appreciating her wife.
"Hi," Maura replied before pressing into Jane and kissing her. "You are home early."
"Yeah. Wasn't much going on so I thought I would surprise you guys. Where are the boys?"
"Play date with Abigail. Nina took the afternoon off hoping she'd invite some friends from school."
"But she didn't," Jane guessed. The Rizzoli cousins were predictable.
"No. She didn't much to Nina's dismay. She wanted the boys. All of them."
"Poor TJ," Jane said retrieving a beer from the refrigerator. Her nephew was getting a little old for the Rizzoli cousin play dates but he was a good sport about it.
"They should be gone a few hours." Jane turned on her heel quickly, chin down, eyebrows up, mouth quirked.
"A few hours?" she asked. Maura started to laugh. Jane joined her. She loved to hear her wife laugh.
"Yes Jane. A few hours," Maura replied shaking her head.
"Where exactly is Ma?" Jane inquired.
"Well, Jane since I am here with you I don't know where she is exactly but she should be on her way to visit her cousin."
"Hmm. And Tommy?" she asked setting the beer down.
"He is in Framingham working a job. He has an early start tomorrow so he will be staying there overnight which is why we have TJ tonight."
Jane walked over to Maura.
"Well then doctor. I think I might have an idea."
"Really?" she asked quite certain she knew what the idea was. Jane nodded taking Maura's hand in hers and slowly bringing it to her lips. Maura swallowed hard. It scared her sometimes how right this felt and the depth of her love for Jane. This love they had, they shared, was so intense it consumed her at times.
Jane leaned in and whispered, "I want to make love to you. Taste you. Feel you under me. Show you how much I love you." Hearing Jane's voice low, raspy dripping with want and desire caused Maura's center to tingle, which was accompanied by a surge of warmth. The breath hot in her ear caused her whole body to tremble. Jane hadn't even touched her sexually but she had a way of priming her so when she did the release was intense.
Jane led Maura upstairs.
Maura rolled over when she heard the phone. She looked at her wife sleeping next to her and sighed with contentment.
"Dr. Isles," she answered.
"Hey Maura, it's Nina."
"Hello. Is everything good with the children?" Maura asked.
"They are great and having a blast. If it is okay, I'll keep them for dinner?"
"Nina, are you sure?"
"It will be easier to go ahead and feed them. They have been playing and are tired. I think it will be early to bed for everyone tonight."
"Do you want me to come and get them?" she asked.
"No, we still have the Rizzoli Shuttle so I'll bring them home." Maura chuckled at the name Jane had given the Mercedes van she purchased and customized to fit the Rizzoli cousins.
"Maur, really? Do we need all this?" she asked as she walked around the van.
"Jane, we have to take multiple cars when any of us have all the kids. This makes it easier." Jane had to admit it made sense. She climbed into the driver's seat. The van was nice – all the bells and whistles, seven seat configuration, electric sliding side door.
"How much is this?"
"Jane, it is something the whole family can use."
"Still doesn't tell me how much it is."
"Sweetie." Jane sighed. She knew it didn't matter how much it was. She knew it was best. She knew they would get the van.
"Can we get Rizzoli Shuttle painted on the side in big white letters?" she asked making her wife laugh.
"Why don't you bring Abigail's overnight bag and she can spend the night?" Maura offered. "It will give you and Frankie a little time."
"You sure?" Nina asked delighted by the suggestion.
"Definitely. Jane came home early. It would be good to return the favor," Maura said smiling at the memory of their very adult play date.
"Oh," Nina said hearing the smile in her sister-in-law's voice. "Well in that case, I will call when we are on our way."
"Wonderful," she replied hanging up the phone.
"So five kids tonight?" Jane asked. Maura turned and locked eyes with her wife.
"Yes. I didn't think you'd mind giving Nina and Frankie some time together," Maura said.
"Ew. I don't want to talk about my brother and his wife having some time together," Jane said sitting up.
"Jane how do you say ew when we just…"
"Do not say it Maura. Do not explain what we did using any clinical terms or any terms whatsoever." Maura laughed. Despite how wonderful Jane was as a lover and she truly was or how much she enjoyed talking a little dirty during sex she had no desire to talk about sex when it wasn't happening between them.
Jane pulled Maura between her legs and wrapped her arms around her. Maura leaned her head back and rested on Jane. Jane kissed her cheek then her neck.
"It was nice of you to give them some time," Jane conceded.
"Thank you for saying so." Jane ran her hands up Maura's sides and cupped her breasts.
"You are so beautiful, Maur." She tenderly caressed her breasts, capturing her nipples between her finger and thumb. Maura's nipples harden quickly. Jane ran her hands down Maura's stomach. Jane could feel the benefits of yoga and Pilates as she moved towards her goal. She rested her hands on Maura's inner thighs and continued to plant kisses on the nape of Maura's neck. She began to stroke and massage her inner thighs coming closer and closer to where they both wanted and needed her to be. Maura's breathing quicken with the anticipation of Jane's touch.
Jane teased her taking her higher then backing off. She was relentless in her pursuit of building Maura up then bringing her down without letting her go completely. The things she could do with her hands showed a mastery that continued to amaze and satisfy Maura.
"Oh my God, Jane," she choked out her breathing labored. Maura tried to arch but she couldn't. Jane knew she was ready. The sudden entry caused Maura to cry out and give control of her body over to Jane. The pace was blistering then Jane slowed allowing Maura to catch her breath.
Jane's fingers were lethal. She increased then changed the rhythm at will finally allowing her thumb to press and circle Maura until her body stiffened and convulsed. Jane nibbled her earlobe and continued caressing her bringing her down slowly.
"You are amazing, Jane Rizzoli," she said when she was able to talk.
"Amazing?"
"Absolutely amazing." Maura slid her hand behind her back to get to Jane. She smiled at what she found there.
"We need to do something about that," she said getting on her knees and pulling Jane down towards her.
"You did something about it earlier, doctor."
"As did you sergeant but it seems you were very capable of doing so again."
Maura began kissing Jane. She loved kissing her wife. She never got enough of her taste or the softness of her lips or the warmth of her mouth. She never got enough of their tongues dueling or the dizzy way it made her feel. Maura pressed her weight into Jane and loved how she felt beneath her.
Maura kissed and nipped her way down Jane's body – the sensitive spot on her neck, her chest, her breasts. She lingered at her breasts enjoying sucking on her nipples and the way Jane writhed from the sensation of Maura's mouth on her. She made her way to Jane's sweet spot. The moans of her wife spurred her on in her efforts to please Jane. She felt Jane's hand on her head and she knew she was where Jane needed her to be.
Jane grabbed the sheet with her free hand as her eyes rolled to the back. Maura was experienced and skilled at so many things. This was one of the things Jane loved best – the way that Maura used her tongue to bring her to the edge over and over again.
It didn't take Jane long. She called out her wife's name and fell hard. Maura kissed her way back up to look her wife in the eye.
"I love you so much, Maura Isles."
"I love you too, sweetie." The phone buzzed. Maura reached over to read the message. She rested her head on Jane's shoulder.
"Nina is on her way."
"Shower?" Jane suggested.
"Separately," she answered smiling. Jane chuckled. Her wife knew her well.
"I'll take the guest room," Jane offered. "Meet you downstairs in fifteen?"
They both rolled out of bed. Jane picked up her phone. Walking towards the guest bathroom, Jane scrolled through her text messages stopping at one that she didn't expect.
Jane. Hi. It's Casey. I'm in town for a few days. Thought maybe we could get together for a drink.
