Title; Hunger for you
Author; Magrat 70
Rating T for now could have some M chapters will be femslash, if you don't like the thought of Rizzles then this is not for you.
Spoilers; set after I kissed a Girl but au set in the Hunger in Me universe but you don't have to read it, as that is Criminal Minds story which will cross over at one point but these stories are separate. Will be some mention of it in this chapter but nothing else will appear.
Author's Note; was nervous about writing this because there are lots of Jane as a Wolf but there is something about the way Angie Harmon plays the character that leave it open for a feral, predator being in her. I set it after I Kissed a Girl because it was the first episode I watched. I was so excited because Tess Gerritsen is one of my favourite writers. Obviously Angie Harmon's portrayal of Jane is different but kind of close to the bookdps, but Sasha Alexander is physically not as described and her character is more fun and didn't seem to be the Queen of the Dead. I was ready to be disappointed but I LOVED it, it was almost a piece of fan fiction from someone who loved both of them and it is probably my partner and I's guilty pleasure, we love it. Can I express my sadness over the death of Lee Thompson Young, depression is a terrible disease and I loved his Frost, I am sure he will be missed by all who loved him.
An2; there will be no Casey and just a little mention of Dean who I didn't mind but Casey I hate, as with JJ and Will in Criminal Minds if blackmail has to be part of of a marriage proposal then you are forcing characters together that don't belong, plus we all know Jane and Maura love one another :-)
An 3 I have changed the way they met, instead of as in the show with Jane was dressed as a prostitute, I have used the way it happened in the books when Maura had arrived after the Surgeon and took over from the retiring M.E. and bloody hell I have never wrote so much before a story started. :-)
Disclaimer; not mine Tess Gerritsen is a genius. I promise to play with them nicely and put them back when I finished. I make nothing from this, a part I hope the entertainment of others.
Prologue.
Jane woke to realise that Maura and herself had fallen asleep again on her bed with Jo Friday at her feet. It was becoming a habit and it scared her. Mostly because she was more than a little bit in love with the M.E, hell not a little bit, she would take a bullet for her, crawl through broken glass, take a silver knife in the gut.
She looked at the honey blonde fast asleep and she still looked like a model, even in one of Jane's old t-shirt's and a pair of sweats, with no make up on. She looked shinning and new, glowing with beauty and poise. Jane heard a growl in her throat and there was the problem. Around Maura her wolf was always near the surface, she knew that part of her wanted to claim Maura, had already decided that she was her mate and Jane found it hard not to go with her nature. She found herself following the smaller woman like a love sick puppy, that turned feral at the thought of anyone hurting her or even touching her, period.
Jane was what the legends would call a werewolf, however reality was, she is a shape shifter. She didn't have to change during a full moon, it was just harder to keep the predator at bay, the moon gave her even more strength. She was strong, very strong even for one of her kind. Her hearing was attuned to hear a pin drop miles away, like any canine her olfactory nerve was the thing that ruled her brain she could smell in colours, she could smell moods, some days she could get lost in the sense with spinning colour explaining the world around her, what people had eaten, the sexual feelings they had, the love, the hate, weaknesses, a person's whole nature. Her mother had taught her from a young age how to control it and only use it when it was needed. It was this sense that made her mother such a great cook and helped her and Frankie in their jobs. The silver thing though, was real to real and a shudder went through Jane as she rubbed the scars on her hands.
The one thing she had noticed since these impromptu sleepovers with Maura was the actual sleeping. She had hardly had a nights sleep since Hoyt. His sibilant tones haunted her dreams and the pain that still came from her hands reminded her how fucked up the whole situation was. She had been so arrogant, she had sniffed him out but instead of waiting for back up she had went for him, sure in her power and strength, the taser took her by surprise, normally she would have been back up in seconds. She still heard his taunting as he drove the scalpel with silver mixed in the alloy into her right hand, pain as she had never felt before, wracking her whole body, making her wish he would do it, put her down. Instead he had drove a second one into her other hand, while he whispered that he knew what she was and the myriad ways he could torture her without killing her, days he had said, he would be able to taste her agony for days and days. Korsak her partner had saved her before it went much further, the damage though had already been done.
She had thought she would never heal, she was haunted by her dreams and doubted herself, her pride and mind as damaged as her hands. Then into her life had walked the new M.E in an addictive cloud of beauty and delightful scent that could wipe Hoyt's putrid stench from her nostrils and her mind. Dr Maura Isles, the Queen of the dead as quirky as hell, a walking and most definitely talking mystery. Jane's wolf had woken up sniffed the air and howled. She had laughed at the Twilight books, about the idea of imprinting, she didn't anymore, she couldn't describe it better, her world revolved around the blonde.
She cursed as her cell rang, as sleepy hazel green eyes looked up at her.
"Emily, oh god it has been too long,"
Maura, who had been slipping back to sleep, was now very much awake; who was Emily,. She felt a little green monster bubble in her chest. She closed her eyes pretending to be asleep, hoping she could actually find out something deeper about the gorgeous brunette, who was driving the usually reserved scientist crazy. She was so naturally sexual without trying, in the same boots, the same pant suits or baseball boots, ripped jeans and a Red Sox shirt, she oozed sex, strength and wildness. She was entranced by this creature, who was alien to everything she had ever been brought up with.
"Yeah, I heard the Ambass..." a quick sideways look at Maura, no way she could explain how her mother knew an US ambassador." Your mother called Ma, nah we haven't had anything against... uhm." Jane wanted to take the conversation away, it felt wrong though to hide away from the doctor. She wracked her brain how to phrase stuff without giving away secrets.
"I think it's a DC problem, I am sorry about your uhm part...team mate. Yeah well you've got more restraint than me. I would have ripped them into to tiny pieces. Hey Em it's about time, look after her. You deserve some happiness, my friend, you really do. Don't leave it so long, next time."
Jane came off the phone with a grin on her face.
" Who was that?" Asked Maura lightly.
" An old friend, she's a F.B.I agent."
"I thought you hated the freebies."
Jane rolled her eyes."The Feebies Maur...Em isn't like some of the idiots in the local field office, she isn't in it for glory, she doesn't have to, she is a profiler for the BAU. They have a big case in DC. She found one of her team being tortured, she managed to save her, but I think she still blames herself, like she coulda got there sooner. Anyway I am going for a shower, do you need to go home first before work?"
"No I have fresh clothes at work I'll get changed when I get there. As long as I can use your shower," said Maura, noting the huge amount of pride Jane felt about her friend and another whisper from the green eyed monster pulled at Maura's brain. Not that it made any difference, Jane was straight, she had been in a relationship with the F. B. I Agent Gabriel Dean when they first met. Even if she wasn't, she'd hardly be interested in socially inept, nerd like herself.
The wolf in Jane snapped at the idea of asking Maura to share her shower, the wolf told her that Maura was attracted to her, the whole Hoyt thing still affected her enough to have grave doubts to trust her instincts anymore. Why would the beautiful genius even look at her twice. No she would worship from afar, her world was far to dangerous for the M,E anyway. With a soft sigh the brunette left to have her shower.

Once Maura was in the safety of her office, her curiosity got the better of her and she searched online for the attack on the F.B.I agent and knowing the press couldn't have all the facts, the attack on Jennifer Jareau still sounded horrific. The press liaison for the BAU of all people, she hardly seemed like the person who would ever be in a position for someone to torture her. The pictures showed a very beautiful blonde. A small press report settled her jealousy a lot, it mentioned that she was leaving hospital today into the care of the Agent who had saved her Emily Prentiss. Even though she wasn't great at getting social cues, it would seem that Agent Prentiss was far more interested in Agent Jareau than Detective Rizzoli.
The good Doctor started humming softly, it might suck as Jane had put it, to be in tying up the loose ends from their last case on a Sunday, at least she didn't have to worry about a F.B.I agent swooping in and taking her best friend away from her,
At that moment said friend knocked on Maura's door. "Grab your coat doc, we have a body."
