Thanks for your thoughts and being excited about the sequel that'll be coming about after a few more chapters of this beloved story. I do know it's Christmas season lol but this chapter does take place in February, enjoy, I'm sure you will you'll know what I mean. It's funny how some chapters are quicker to write than others, wish they all came out easily. Here's my early gift to you all.
Valentine's Day was noted as the most romantic day of the year, this year was extra special. It was Jane and Maura's first Valentine's Day as a married couple. The only thing was Jane has absolutely nothing nice to wear that she could fit into right now and she hated the way maternity clothes looked on her if it wasn't sweatpants. Maura insisted that Jane looked fine, but she didn't agree.
"Would you be upset if we didn't go out tonight Maura?" she turned to her wife who was making some tea in the afternoon.
"I made reservations to your favorite restaurant, are you sure you don't want to go celebrate?"
"I don't want to go out if I feel like this."
"I really do hate when you feel insecure about your appearance Jane, I promise that you look absolutely stunning. I will call to cancel if that's what you really want."
"I just want to spend the evening together, alone, just you and I. I'd much prefer a night home, celebrating our love for each other, not worrying about clothes, or getting ready to go somewhere."
"I wouldn't be upset at you if you decided to wear sweatpants on our date."
"That's fashion suicide, remember?"
"I could make an exception for tonight," Maura smiled warmly at her wife.
Jane stared at her for a moment, "Are you purposely ignoring my not worrying about clothes comment?"
"No, of course not."
"Why do I think that you are?"
"Because you're losing it babe, I love thinking about us not wearing any clothes, but it leads to things and I really want to focus on this tea right now."
"Uh huh, I suppose I'll leave the naked talk for later then," Jane smirked, patting Maura on the butt before walking over to plop down on the couch. She stretched her arms and legs, purposely moaning out loudly. Maura shook her head at her wife's antics, even though the sound of Jane moaning sent shivers down her spine.
Focus on the tea, focus on the tea, she repeated to herself. Dammit, she cursed at how little self control she had, feeling herself twitch between her legs. The tea be damned, it could wait, she turned off the stove where she was waiting for the water to boil and headed toward the living room.
Jane smirked, turning her head slightly, hearing her wife's bare feet walk on the floor over to the couch. "The tea done already?"
"Oh shut up," Maura gave her head a shake, she leant down to capture Jane's lips with hers, her tongue being shoved into her wife's mouth. She loved hearing her wife moan just from a kiss. Jane ended up pulling Maura over the back of the couch so she was right next to her. The kiss deepened as Jane's hand slipped in-between Maura's legs, feeling the twitching of her crotch.
Jane loved when Maura wore dresses so she could quickly slip her hand into her underwear. Her thumb pressed gently against Maura's throbbing entrance, Maura groaned moving her legs open slightly so Jane's fingers could make their way inside of her aching pussy. Maura tossed her head back the way two of Jane's fingers pushed inside of her drove her insane. It never failed to amaze Maura how easily Jane could get her to orgasm, the way her fingers thrust and curled inside of her, hitting her spot perfectly everytime without hesitation.
Jane's eyes darkened as she observed the way Maura tilted her head back, mouth open ever so slightly, grunting out in absolute pleasure. She enjoyed the sounds Maura made so much it made herself start to feel soaked in her underwear. The way Maura froze as she came hard against Jane's fingers, the way she looked at Jane with such intense desire once she finished and opened her eyes.
"You good babe?" Jane asked and Maura nodded. "Glad to hear it," she licked her fingers clean of Maura's juices.
"I want to return the favor."
Jane smirked as Maura started untying the strings of her sweatpants, "Go right ahead I'm all yours," she whispered as Maura threw her pants somewhere to the side, she watched as Maura kissed at her thighs before latching her thumb to the thong of Jane's underwear, dropping them on the floor before her tongue slowly dragged against the damp entrance of Jane's folds. This caused the pregnant woman to shiver as Maura's lips nipped gently at her area which was already quite wet. "You're such a tease Maur," Jane moved to drape her legs over Maura's shoulders, pulling her wife's face closer to the place she needed her the most. Maura's mouth hovered over Jane's entrance before lowering completely sucking gently. "Oh God," Jane groaned out almost blocking out the slopping sound of Maura's mouth when she continued to please her wife.
She eventually let her tongue enter her wife in the mood swiftest motion, fucking her gently with it, focusing on the taste for a moment before picking up the pace.
"Oh shit. Shit, don't stop baby, please don't stop," Jane whimpered out, slowly moving her hips to move against Maura's tongue. "I'm so close Maura, I- Fuck!" She shouted out, gripping Maura's shoulders as she came hard against Maura's tongue and mouth. She tossed her head back, groaning as Maura lapped up her juices before sitting up, looking satisfied. "That was incredible Maura."
"I was a master in anatomy after all."
"No one likes a bragger babe, but I'm so grateful that you know a body more than anyone else I know. I should probably go wash up, you really should finish making that tea."
"Yes dear," Maura sat up and kissed Jane's cheek, "Let me get your pants first," she smiled as Jane leaned down to grab her underwear that was right next to the couch. "Jane, one more thing."
"Yeah?"
"Happy Valentine's Day."
"I'm quite enjoying myself this holiday so far. Can't wait for later," Jane smiled, she was excited for later and what she had set up for her and her wife in the evening time. The whole reason Jane didn't want to go out tonight.
'What is happening, how is this happening?' Frost couldn't help but pace back and forth in Crowe's living room. It's been a few days and he still couldn't get over it, what he did after Frankie's bachelor party, he knew it was a stupid thing to do when Cameron hadn't talked to him since that night. And now during lunch Cameron sends him a message saying they needed to talk, what was there to talk about? Frost made a stupid mistake and kissed Cameron thanking him for looking after the kids, Cailin had been asleep in Korsak's guest room when it happened, she wanted to take a nap until everyone had gotten back. Korsak was oblivious to the whole thing when he checked on Julian as soon as they got home.
Frost felt absolutely embarrassed glad that Cameron was avoiding him, but why did he want to talk now, it didn't make sense to him. He froze in the middle of his pacing when there was a knock on Crowe's apartment door. He wiped his palms on his pants, taking a deep breath and going to answer the door. He opened the door and looked up at the taller man. "Hello, did you want to come in?"
"Well I would prefer to have this conversation inside if you don't mind," Cameron flashed his smile, Frost stepped to the side to let him in. "Crowe has a nice place."
"Yeah, I like staying here, feel like I don't bother him."
"I don't think you'd bother anyone Barry," he went to sit on the couch. "So, with what happened the other evening, it took me completely off guard, sorry I haven't talked to you since that... incident. It was something I had to wrap my head around, I'm not gay you know."
"I know and you're involved with Cailin."
Cameron shook his head, "Not necessarily, I'm there for her because she's been through hell and back. She trusts me sort of and she needs someone like that in her life. A confidant, not something romantic, plus the night we babysat we talked a lot. After what happened with her and my nephew she has kind of sworn off men for the moment, she doesn't exactly trust me fully especially when I told her what happened. Cailin wasn't angry with me or at you..."
"You told her what happened..." Frost stared at the man.
"I needed to tell someone, help talk things out and she helped me. I like our friendship Frost and I don't want what happened to get in the way of that. But I do want to understand your feelings exactly."
"And if I don't understand them myself?"
"I think we're strong enough friends to figure it out together. I'm not mad or upset that you kissed me Frost. I love being in your company, you make me feel the most relaxed I've felt in months. I'm not gay, but I am a little... confused, you could say. I just want us to be on the same page, I can't get enough of your company if I'm being honest. I don't want that to change."
Frost nodded, "It won't have to change, what I did was foolish and it shouldn't have happened, but knowing you still want to be friends with me in spite of that."
"When it happened it definitely took me off guard, but I can't exactly say that I didn't like it," Cameron spoke in a low tone, causing the Detective to look over at him. "I think you can tell a lot of feelings by the way someone kisses. We may not understand them but I could feel something in that. You long for companionship and passion, I long for the same thing, with the right person," he rested his hand on Frost's knee. "I know you're hurting, I can see it in your eyes, I don't want to hurt you Frost."
"I'm tired of getting hurt. But you said it yourself, you're not gay."
"You confuse me Frost, that kissed confused me, why did I like it then? That's the part I can't wrap my head around. Why do I want more?" Cameron ran his hands over his face.
"Honestly I can't tell you that Cameron. That's something you have to figure out yourself," Frost shrugged, he could tell how conflicted Cameron was.
"Wouldn't it be better to figure it out together though?"
"I don't know, what is it that you want to do?" Frost asked the man.
"I want you to kiss me again. Sober this time of course. I don't want to be taken off guard this time around."
"Are you sure Cameron because I don't want to do something if you're not comfortable with..." Frost words got cut off as Cameron leaned over and placed his lips on Frost's. Frost sat frozen for a moment at Cameron's initiative, his kissed the other man back gently at first. He felt his tongue brush against his bottom lip, sending chills down his spine, Frost was fully aware of what was happening, he pulled away slowly from Cameron, licking his lips. "Wow... um... how do you feel about... that?"
"I quite um... I quite enjoyed it," Cameron ran his fingers through his hair. "Maybe I'm not as straight as I claimed to be."
"You really don't have to put a label on yourself Cameron. I know Jane never thought she was gay, I don't even think she claims she is, but I know she loves Maura more than anything, and sexuality can be pretty fluid, you just happen to like someone so much, gender hardly matters, like in your case. Seems to me like you just want to feel a closeness to someone, doesn't matter the gender as long as you are feeling wanted by that person. Does that make sense?"
"Sorta. I do feel wanted by you and I like being wanted, and I enjoy our friendship. I'm still a little conflicted that everything I thought I knew about me, turns out that I don't know as much as I thought."
"I'll be by your side while you figure it out. I love to consider us friends, someone we can both find comfort in. I'm not going anywhere Cameron, you always have a friend in me."
"What if I fuck things up?"
"We'll cross that bridge if it comes to that, give yourself a little bit of credit though. Ever since Tommy got arrested I never thought that someone else could make me even the slightest bit happy again."
"You deserve all the happiness in the world Barry. I want to provide you as much happiness as I can."
"You're doing that now, I'm glad that you're able to open up to me, open up to new things and if you ever think we should stop just let me down easily, alright?"
"I think I can manage that, even though I don't want to hurt you."
"As long as you remain honest with me, can you do that?" Frost asked softly and Cameron nodded.
"I can do that, I promise you. Can I kiss you again?"
"Don't get too carried away now Cameron. Let's not leap into this, a little bit at a time."
"How about we go out for dinner?"
"You do know that it's Valentine's Day, right? Restaurants all over are probably booked."
"I know a guy. It'll be fun."
"I'll hold you to it then," Frost got up from the couch, walking with Cameron to the door.
"I'll pick you up in a few hours, okay?" he rested his hand on Frost's shoulder, leaning down to kiss him on the cheek.
"See you then," Frost nodded, closing the door behind the man as he left the apartment. Frost closed his eyes leaning against the door. "That really just happened, didn't it?" he muttered to himself, pulling out his phone and calling Frankie, hoping he wasn't interrupting anything.
"Happy Valentine's Day Susie," Frankie pulled her close, kissing her bare shoulder.
"Is that how you celebrate all holidays there Francesco?"
"With you yes, or have you forgotten New Year's Eve?"
Susie smirked, "How could I possibly forget that, I could hardly walk the next day."
"Just wait until our wedding night and our honeymoon, New Year's Eve will just be a distant memory," Frankie leaned down to give her a kiss.
"In a little bit more than a month we'll be getting married, can you believe it?"
"You have no idea how excited I am to have you as a wife. You get to be Susie Rizzoli for the rest of your life, how does that make you feel?"
"How about I show you how I feel about that Detective Rizzoli?" she whispered in his ear, causing his hips to jerk up as her hand stroked him ever so gently.
"Yeah..." was all he could manage to get out as he breathed out his mouth, licking his lips as she continued the movement of her hand. He watched as she moved down with her mouth, letting her lips graze against the tip before covering him with her mouth. "Fuck," he grunted, tangling his fingers in her hair, as she sucked against him gently, lowering her mouth further down his shaft, causing him to twitch against her, he could feel the build up as Susie continued with her movements. "Oh God," he moaned out the more she took him in, almost completely when he felt himself release inside of her. She moved her mouth slowly up from his dick to release it from her grasp. Susie licked her lips and laid beside him.
"Was that good enough?"
Frankie nodded, running his fingers through his hair. "Oh yeah, big time. I didn't know you could go down that far."
"Only for you, as much as I would love to spend the whole day in bed with you, I promised your mother that we'd watch the twins and Julian while her and Korsak go out for a late lunch, since they don't plan to be out during dinner time we will be able to enjoy our dinner out," she sat up in the bed. "I'll go get ready, you should too."
"Why you volunteering us for babysitting?" he pouted as he sat up in bed to put on a shirt.
"Because someone wants to have kids one day and could use some practice," she kissed the side of his head before grabbing some clothes and heading to the bathroom.
Frankie huffed as he pulled his boxers back on, moving to grab his phone from the dresser as he went to find a nice pair of pants. He seen there was a phone call from Frost that he missed, glad he wasn't an idiot and had his phone on silent while him and Susie partook in their bed activities.
He listened to the message before calling him back. Frost picked up on the second ring. "Hey Frost, did I hear your message correctly?"
"I yeah... he's taking me out for dinner in a few hours. I thought what I did the night of your bachelor party was a mistake, turns out he was just conflicted, I mean he admitted to loving my company. I thought I'd call you since you sort of went through the same situation, being confused on how you could like a guy and stuff. He's even concerned about fucking things up, I mean he can't possibly fuck things up if I'm just helping him figure out some things. He kissed me this time and I just... I guess I need some reassurance that things are going to be okay, that I won't end up getting my heart broken again."
"You really like him, don't you?"
"I don't know Frankie, he was more of a fantasy like someone I could like because I knew they couldn't possibly like me back and now that there's a possibility of him liking me, it changes things. I'm just unsure as to how right now. I felt calm when he was here and we were talking now that he left I might be having a panic attack."
"Frost I know you, and I know how easily you can fall for someone and I know after everything it can only get scarier. The only advice I can give you is don't overthink it, just let it naturally happen, trust me overthinking ruins things. That's how me and Crowe didn't work because I kept on having doubts and insecurities about dating him when I could have just took it one day at a time. You know what I'm saying Frost?"
"Yeah, but after the whole thing with Tommy, can you blame me for over thinking?"
"No one can blame you for that Frost. Just think about positive things and not how things can end up getting fucked up."
"You make it sound so easy Frankie."
"It can be, and you will always have me to talk things through with. I chose you to be my best man for a reason Barry Frost, you can count on me, just like I can count on you, through everything. I got you whenever you need me, alright?"
"Are you and Susie doing anything today?"
"Besides our sexual romp we just had, we're going to babysit the twins and Julian while Korsak and Ma go out for a late lunch, you're more than welcome to tag along, I'm sure Susie would love to help you meditate to get all those negative thoughts out of your head. Help calm you before your date with Cameron Davies."
"I don't want to know about you and Susie having sex. And I- it's not a date, it's just dinner."
Frankie chuckled, "Yeah dinner on Valentine's Day, definitely not a date Frost."
"Glad you find this amusing."
"I probably shouldn't make you more nervous than you probably already are. Your fantasy is becoming a reality though Frost, you should be looking forward to it and I'm sure it's going to go well, if not I know for a fact that there's plenty of fish in the sea who would love to have a shot with you."
"Yeah, like who?"
"Oh no, this is something I can't tell you, I'm sworn to secrecy, just know there are people out there, handsome guys who would be willing to give you the world if Davies fucks up his shot. If he fucks anything up with you, I got your back Frost alright?"
"Thanks Frankie, glad I can count on you, but it's not anything serious right now. I'll meet you guys at Korsak's place then."
"Sure thing man, see you there," Frankie smiled and hung up the phone just as Susie came out of the bathroom, freshened up. "You showered without me?"
"Who's fault is that? Who was on the phone?"
"Frost, he was having a crisis, I invited him over to help us babysit, is that alright?"
"Todd would love to see Frost, I think he has a favorite relative. So what is Frost's crisis?"
"Let's just say his fantasy seems to be the real thing now, and he's sort of freaking out about it."
"Let me guess, Cameron Davies? It's a shame though, I was rooting for Frost and Benjamin."
Frankie looked at his fiancée in complete surprise, "You know about Benjamin's feelings for Frost?"
"How could I not, I'm a scientist I pay attention to detail, or have you forgotten?" she teased, patting his ass. "Now finish getting ready before your mother gets mad at you because we're late."
"Why would she just get mad at me?"
"Because you my dear, are a very huge distraction," she leaned up to his cheek. "Plus I'm ready and you aren't."
"Alright, you make a valid point, I'm going," he nodded, kissing her back before going into the bathroom.
Maura was out in the guest house feeding Chad the tortoise as her phone dinged, sending her a notification that she had gotten an email. She got up from the couch, patting Chad's shell before heading inside in the makeshift office where her computer was. She went over to look at it, just as she was about to open the file sent to her Jane entered the room.
"Hey Maura, you're not looking at work on your day off, are ya?" Jane asked, sitting next to her. Maura turned to Jane and shook her head.
"No actually, I told Benjamin to not contact me today, plus it's an email from Susie's parents, they finally got back to me."
"They did, it's good news right?"
"Well I haven't gotten a chance to look at it yet. I just came back inside," Maura spoke before turning back to the computer screen to open the email, Jane looked over Maura's shoulder and started to read it out loud.
"Dearest Doctor Isles..." Jane paused, "How proper of them."
"Jane, you really don't have to read it out loud."
"Okay fine," Jane smirked.
Dearest Doctor Isles,
We thank you for messaging us, my wife and I would love more than anything to see our daughter get married. You really didn't have to buy the plane tickets, although it's very much appreciated. Seems like you really care for our daughter going through all of this trouble. I would definitely like this to be a surprise, just in case something happens and we can't make it, she already expects us not to anyways. No matter what happens, I will reimburse you for the plane tickets though, you're too kind.
We wish you well and see you in March.
"Best maid of honor reward goes to Dr. Maura Rizzoli-Isles, you really bought them plane tickets?"
"I thought it'd would give them a little boost, if they do make it I know how thrilled Susie will be. He really doesn't need to pay me back for those tickets though."
Jane kissed the top of Maura's head, "You really are too kind Maura. It's really sweet how much you want Susie to have a perfect wedding day."
"She deserves it, that's for sure. Just like we had a perfect wedding day, I like to think that ours was my favorite wedding to attend," she smirked.
"I would hope marrying me was the best wedding you attended," Jane teased back. "Come here," she opened her arms and Maura turned to face her. Jane cupped her wife's cheeks before nipping teasingly at her soft lips. "Upstairs?" Jane asked quietly as she pulled away slightly, Maura nodded. Both women stood up from their chairs and headed upstairs, Maura walking ahead of Jane, as Jane held onto her hand.
"Just how much energy do you have right now Jane?" Maura asked as soon as she got into the bedroom, pulling the straps of her dress down her shoulders.
"So much," Jane grinned, helping tug the rest of Maura's dress off of her body. "You look so ravishing I could have you for dinner and be completely satisfied."
"Too bad you need actual food."
"Yeah, that will come later though," Jane lifted one of her hands up to Maura's breast, letting her thumb roll over her nipple, her other hand resting on her hip. "You know I'm so glad you have feelings in your legs again, I can touch your thighs and you can feel it," she licked her lips, lowering her mouth onto Maura's hardened nipple before her hand moved to play with her other nipple. Her hand ran down her hip to stroke the inside of her thigh.
Maura gasped as Jane continued with her sucking and getting her worked up. After Jane released Maura's nipple from her mouth with a pop before deciding to kiss down Maura's chest and down her body until she let her tongue run against Maura's entrance which twitched at the motion, she headed down towards Maura's thighs, peppering kisses along the warm flesh. Nibbling and sucking gently at the flesh. Maura draped one of her legs over Jane's shoulder, pulling the woman close. "I want you... inside me..." she managed to get out in small pants.
"I think I have a good idea," Jane brushed her nose against her entrance, running her tongue even slower against the slit. Maura shivered at the touch once Jane slid two fingers inside of her, her mouth still against her, suckling gently at the folds as she penetrated her fingers hard inside her wife.
"Fuck Jane!" she cursed, tossing her head back, trying to ride Jane's mouth and fingers, she gripped Jane's shoulder and buried her fingers into her hair, causing Jane to pause her mouth for a moment. Her fingers never stopping their pace, Jane moved to stand up. She licked her own lips before pressing them hard against Maura's, Maura's mouth opened granting her wife access to it. She whimpered against the kiss as she felt her legs shake, as Jane entered a third finger, curling them inside of her as she continued her thrusts, Maura finally was able to get enough strength to ride Jane's fingers as the taller woman brought her over the edge. "Shit..." Maur released her mouth from Jane's as soon as the orgasm hit, Jane helped her ride it out, slowly her pace of her fingers before pulling out of her wife and licking her fingers clean of Maura.
"Mmm, so tasty," Jane smirked, kissing Maura's forehead. "You good babe?"
Maura nodded, "So good, I still feel a little aroused though."
"Oh is that so? I got something for ya if you'd like, it'd be best if you could lay down."
"Oh I definitely want to lay down," Maura smiled, taking a minute to catch her breath before walking towards her bed, moving to lay down, she could feel herself twitch slightly. Jane grinned to herself as she went to shuffle through the drawers in their shared dresser. She turned around with the device in her hand.
"Remember this little guy, well I guess it's not exactly little, but I recall this being something you really liked to use when you thought of me before we ever got together."
Maura's cheeks flushed, "That's still embarrassing to think I actually did that, that I told you about it nonetheless. I'm ready though."
"I thought you'd say that," Jane sat on the side of the bed. "Enjoy the ride," Jane winked, before laying down next to Maura, kissing her.
"About time you two made it over, we were about to call for a search party, Frost was here before the both of you and I didn't even know he was coming," Korsak shook his head, with a grin as he stepped to the side to let Susie and Frankie inside.
"Well if Frankie had gotten done faster we'd been over sooner."
Susie's words caused the older man to laugh, "You do realize what that sounded like, right Susie?"
Susie looked over towards Frankie who was red in the face with embarrassment, "Why does your mind have to go their for Vincent," he gave the man a slight shove before walking past him.
"I don't think I ever seen his face get that red before," Susie laughed, before greeting Korsak with a hug. "Good to see you in a good mood though Vince."
"My wife is in a good mood, making me in a great mood. I'm glad that her meds are working like their supposed to. Plus she loved the gifts I gave her today for Valentine's Day. Got her some earrings that perfectly match this dress I bought for her. She looks very stylish."
"I bet she does," Susie grinned as she headed inside to be greeted by Kate.
"Auntie Susie, you made it! So glad I have another girl to talk to, Grandma and Cailin are good to talk to when they're around."
"Well I'm very glad to be here Kate. We'll have fun, I promise."
"Ooh I got my flower girl dress yesterday, can I show it to you?" the younger girl bounced on her heels.
"Yeah let's go see it," Susie nodded and Kate excitedly grabbed her by the hand and went to walk with her in the guest room. Kate was very excited to be involved in Susie's wedding.
Angela came out of Julian's room, after putting him down for his nap. She was all ready to go, Frankie looked up at his mother, glad to see her smiling.
"Hey Ma, you look amazing."
"Thanks Frankie, and thanks again for helping to watch the kids while Vince and I go out."
"Honestly Ma I didn't know it was something I was doing, but I'm always happy doing so. Plus Susie thinks I should get practice since we want kids for us one day."
Angela smiled brightly, she loved when her kids talked about having kids. "You'll be an excellent father dear, no doubt about it."
"Thanks Ma, I hope you and Korsak have a good time."
"I always have good outings when I'm with Vince, no worries. And we'll be back by six thirty since Susie told me you guys have dinner at 8."
"Dinner by the harbor, I'm sure she's going to enjoy it."
"I'm sure she'll enjoy anything when you put an effort into it," she gave her son a reassuring smile.
"You ready to go Ang?" Korsak asked his wife after putting on his shoes.
"That I am, you guys behave yourselves, alright?" Angela said her goodbyes to the boys as Korsak took her by the hand and led her outside to the car.
"Did I mention that you look absolutely stunning today Angela?"
"Just a couple of times," she smiled.
"Well expect it a couple of times more," he leaned over to kiss her cheek before helping her into the car, and headed over to the driver's side before getting in. He started the car and rested his right hand on Angela's knee, giving it a squeeze. "I love you."
"I love you too Vince," she patted his hand, leaned her head back against the seat. "I do hope that Jane and Maura are having a good day."
"Knowing them, I bet that they are," Korsak chuckled, Angela eyed her husband shaking her head. "Now put your mind at ease, focus on what's in store for us now. Food and dancing, and another thing if you're up for it."
"As long as we're home by six thirty."
"That shouldn't be a problem at all," Vince smirked before driving off toward the restaurant.
Back inside the Korsak household, Todd was watching television and Frankie and Frost were in the kitchen having a discussion.
"So how was it anyways?"
"How was what?" Frost asked, taking a sip of his coffee.
"The kiss with Cameron."
"It took me by surprise like I couldn't believe that it was actually happening. It actually gave me chills and if it lasted longer than it did who knows how that would've turned out."
"You would have gotten a little carried away, wouldn't you?"
Frost shrugged, "I doubt it when he asked to kiss me again I told him we should take it slow. Don't want to make him rush things while he figures it all out."
"And what if he wanted to experience it all at once?"
"I think you know that I'm not that kind of guy."
Frankie nodded. "Just thought I'd ask, make sure your head is on straight. Sometimes people change you Frost and I'm just looking out for you."
"I know you are, that's why I'm easing into whatever this is exactly. I'm not even close to wanting an intense kind of commitment right now. Just helping Cameron figure out who he is exactly is good enough for now."
"Well you're the perfect guy for the job Barry. He's lucky he has you to confide in. Hope he doesn't screw you over though."
"Trust me Frankie, I know what I'm doing. Plus he can't screw me over if it's not serious," he rested his hand on Frankie's shoulder. "You could help me figure out what I should wear though, I brought a few options over."
"Well let's see them then," Frankie smiled.
"Did Uncle Frost get a date with Mister Davies?" Todd asked, with a mischievous smirk on his face as he walked over to the two adults. "They flirted at the mall the other day."
"Todd, we weren't flirting," Frost shook his head. "How do you know what flirting is anyways?"
"Um, Grandma and grandpa do it all of the time. That's why I gave you a thumbs up when Mister Davies walked away from you I could see the way your face lit up. I know you like him. Can I help you pick out your outfit too?"
Frost smirked, "Yeah I suppose you can since you seem to know everything," he tussled the little boy's hair. "How did you get to be so smart?"
"I'm old enough to know things, Uncle Frost, and Mister Davies gets you to light up like a Christmas tree," he grinned, turning on the heels of his feet.
"I worry about that boy sometimes," Frost chuckled.
"Seems like Todd just wants you happy, no matter who it is with. He loves his Uncle Frost, it's not very hard to see why."
Frost looked at Frankie, "Glad you think I'm so loveable."
"Trust me whoever hurts you is a dick and just doesn't deserve you romantically."
"You hurt me at one point Frankie."
"And that's why we're not together romantically, I don't deserve you, part of me always knew that. But it was worth a shot right?"
"You miss one hundred percent of the shots you don't take. Plus all that led to you finding love in Susie and you two are perfect together. I think you were always straight anyways. But enough of that let's go before Todd picks out my whole outfit without me."
Jane laid beside Maura who was sleeping soundly on the bed, she ran her fingers through her soft hair. Jane didn't want to leave the bed or the warmth of her naked wife's body next to hers, but she had plans and she wanted to get started on those.
She slid out of bed quietly and got dressed, she knew Maura would be out for a couple of hours, giving her enough time to finish the home cooked meal and dessert she had planned to make since the other day. Staying in to celebrate Valentine's Day felt better than going out this year, no noise of other couples just being able to focus on one another.
She pulled out her mother's recipe for dinner and dessert, she trusted her mother's recipes better than anyone else's, plus it gave dinner a Rizzoli feel to it. She went out to the guest house and grab things from the fridge she stored in there from the other day, her mother had brought over groceries she needed to make this dinner. Getting Maura to agree to stay home tonight gave the pregnant woman a feeling of relief, plus when Maura seen what Jane was doing she would definitely be grateful that she wanted to stay home tonight.
She had put the ingredients for the dessert in the main fridge as she set up a cutting board and got bowls out for mixing, she set out the eggplant to wash them after she had gotten everything prepped and ready. Jane could hear Maura in the back of her mind telling her to be careful with the knife. Jane rolled her eyes to the Maura in her head. Jane went over to put the radio on giving her background noise as she continued making dinner. Carefully of course.
"Are you sure that I look okay?" Frost asked Frankie as he fixed his tie.
"Yes Barry, you're fine, remember what I said about worrying, the whole reason you meditated with Susie. Here I thought it was supposed to make you feel the most calm."
"I am calmer than I was but that was before he texted me that he was on his way to pick me up."
"Just don't lose your sanity while you wait, maybe you shouldn't have had those three cups of coffee," Frankie smirked.
"Well I didn't want to have any liquid courage before this date. I tend to do quite irrational things when I drink lately, like kissing him. I wouldn't be going on this date if I never kissed him, you know."
"I'm sure that he's just as nervous as you are probably even more since you're his first date with a guy. If that helps."
"Should it help?" Frost chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck right as there was a knock on the front door. "He got here fast."
"Remember what you said earlier you're taking it nice and slow."
"Yes I remember," Frost gave his friend a pat on the back before going to answer the door. He opened it to the taller man.
"Hey Barry, uh you ready to go?" He asked, flashing a wide but nervous smile.
"Yeah I'm ready," Frost spoke softly, grabbing his coat from the coat rack.
"Wait, don't go yet," Todd rushed over to the door. "Hey Mister Davies."
"Well hello there kiddo, how are things going?"
"Good, I think that they're better for Uncle Frost though. I need to know though, you do like him right, because he really likes you..."
Frost quickly glanced down at the younger boy, "Alright Todd, enough out of you."
"I had to ask," Todd shrugged innocently.
Cameron squatted down to be eye level with Todd, "That's what I'm trying to figure out, he's a great guy and friend, if I start to feel something more, I'm sure you'd be able to figure it out. You're a very smart young man."
"You really think so?"
"Oh Todd, I know so, but I'm going to take your Uncle out now and I promise to bring him back in one piece."
"Okay I hope so, have fun," he smiled at the taller man and then gave Frost a hug.
Cameron stood up and stepped out the front door with Frost, closing it behind him.
"I'm very sorry about Todd," he shoved his hands in his jacket pockets.
"Hey don't be, you should feel glad that he wants to be involved in your life."
"He just gets his hopes up too easily and what happened with Tommy... I don't want Todd to get that disappointed again."
"I think everything is going to be just fine Frost," Cameron opened the side door of his car to let Frost in before closing the door and heading over to his side. He glanced over at Frost, once he got in the car. "Are you ready for a good time?"
Frost nodded, thinking to himself, As ready as I think I'll ever be.
Cameron smirked at the man in his side, he could sense the nervousness radiating off of him, hell to be honest he was pretty nervous himself. He never dated a man before, Frost wasn't like other men he has encountered though, so what could go wrong.
He drove them to the harbor where he was able to book them a cruise on The Odyssey for a dinner and other things to do for three hours. The things Cameron could do when he knew people all over the city.
It was around two hours later when Jane had completed dinner and the canoli cheesecake for dessert. She put the cake in the fridge and kept the meal in the oven and on the stovetop to keep warm. Jane went to grab some plates out of the cabinets, and utensils from the drawers. She grabbed some candles that were hidden away in a drawer, placing them on the table and she lit them just as she heard Maura's footsteps come down the stairs.
"Jane, are you down here? Why is it so dark?"
"I'm in the dining room Maur..."
Maura approached her wife. "What's all this?"
"Something I managed to do whilst you were sleeping. Are you feeling refreshed now?"
"I still feel a little sore, but I guess that's to be expected," she smirked, causing Jane to laugh.
"Yeah, well sit down and relax my beautiful wife, dinner will be served in a moment," the utensils were already on the table Jane just had to plate the food.
"So is this why you didn't want to go out tonight?"
"I've had this dinner planned for a few days now, Ma had brought the ingredients the other day when you were working that double shift." Jane spoke to her wife from the kitchen as she put the eggplant parmesan, rice and glazed carrots on their plates, taking them to the dining room, placing it in front of Maura before sitting down across from her with her own plate.
Jane took the bottle of cranapple juice and poured it in two wine glasses, to give it the look of being fancy.
"Jane this is absolutely wonderful, that you went through all this trouble to make this dinner for you and I."
"Oh trust me it wasn't any trouble at all, I'm happy to do it. Let's just hope it's edible," Jane smiled teasingly. "I do have something I'd like to say first before we eat."
Maura nodded, "Alright, go ahead. I'd love to hear it."
"I would first like to say how much I love where we've taken things, from best friends, to dating with no labels, to becoming lovers and then eventually having you as my wife. It's been over a year since I admitted being in love with you, and well let's just say a lot has happened since we took those first steps towards forever. I look forward to every single day I get to spend with you. I love you with all my heart and I'd go to the ends of the earth just to make you happy and soon we're going to have our twins and seeing you as a mother will make me love you even more since I know I fall in love with you more each day, no matter the obstacles we go through, I know for a fact that our love is endless, and I'm so grateful having you in my life. Without you none of this would have been possible," she paused feeling warm tears fall down her cheeks, reaching over to take Maura's hand in hers. "I love you so much Maura and I never want to spend a day without you."
Maura felt her own tears fall down her cheeks at Jane's words, she didn't think anything she could say would be a good follow up to that little speech, but she wanted to say something as well. "I love you so much Jane. I never get tired of hearing you admit your feelings. Every time I look at you I can help but be amazed that you had fallen in love with me. For years I've never imagined that this is where life would take me, of course I always assumed you'd be in my life no matter what, but I'm so incredibly grateful that it's in this way. Having you as my wife has certainly been an amazing experience which I'm thankful for every single day. I'm so thankful that you're the person I have ended up with, I can't see things any other way. You're so beautiful and caring and absolutely amazing, I think I'd be lost without you. I love you and my love only continues to grow for you. You are the light in my life, the light I never thought I needed in my life before I met you. I always felt the need to be isolated until you came along and into my life. I can't wait to spend all my days with you and our love is ever lasting," she squeezed Jane's hands. "I love you Jane and all that you've done for me. Happy Valentine's Day."
Jane smiled, pulling one hand away just to wipe her wet cheeks, "Happy Valentine's Day Maura." She smiled lifting her glass clinking it against Maura's before taking a sip of her juice. "Let's eat, shall we?"
"Before I cry even more into my food, I think that's an excellent idea," she admired her wife for a moment before focusing on the lovely dinner in front of her.
"Bon appétit, mon amour," Jane spoke softly, knowing just how much of a weak spot Maura had for Jane when she uttered words in French. Tonight was going absolutely perfectly and Jane couldn't be any happier about how things were going between them.
Cameron Davies looked at Frost as they finished eating their dinner. "Did you enjoy your meal Frost?"
"It was great, I still don't know how you managed to get this all planned out on short notice, even if you know someone."
"I am a very honorable man, sometimes helped people's kids get on the right path in life. Trust me I saved a lot more people's lives than I can count."
Frost nodded, "Are you just saying this to impress me?"
He chuckled shaking his head, "Seems that you've been impressed by me, but it's nothing to brag about. I just feel like I can be myself around you . I like helping people out, I'm definitely a people person."
"Trust me, I think you give off very friendly vibes, like you're willing to make an effort to know people, it's a nice trait to have, I usually keep in my own circle, but I'm more than glad to have you in my circle now."
"I thought I was already in your circle?" Cameron raised a brow, causing Frost to smile nervously.
"I uh... of course you are, I'm just saying I'm glad you're there in my life, that you're willing to figure things out and not put off by me on that other night."
"You know Barry, you don't need to be nervous around me, no matter what comes of this, if anything I still want you to act normal around me. I always want to consider you a friend, even if more evolves from this evening. I do wanna get to know you on more than a friend level. I appreciate our friendship and I would hate for it to end."
"I appreciate our friendship too."
Cameron smiled, "I'm glad to hear it," he got up from his seat at the table and stood on Frost's side, sticking his hand out for the man to grab. "You want to go explore the top deck, the sun is about to set, it's a lovely time of evening."
Frost glanced up at him and nodded, placing his hand in Cameron's, "Sure, I don't mind. If I forget to say it later, thank you for taking me out tonight."
"Oh trust me I should be thanking you, you're the best date I've had in years."
"Alright, now you're trying to impress me," Frost chuckled as he squeezed the man's hand as he led him up to the top deck. "You're not going to try and do that Titanic scene with me, are you?" he asked as a joke.
"Only if you want me to."
"No, no, I'm good," Frost shook his head as they reached the top, only a few couples were out here, Cameron found a good spot for them at the railing.
"It's pretty nice up here, isn't it?" the taller man asked, resting his hand on top of Frost's squeezing his fingers.
"Yeah... Your hands are really soft."
"I have a very nice moisturizer I use, I could give you some if you'd like."
"Now you're going to give me gifts, what did I do to deserve a guy like you in my life?"
"You exist, that's what you did," Cameron flirted lightly, and Frost definitely liked what he heard, he couldn't help but placing his free hand behind the back of Cameron's neck, kissing him softly.
"Are you always this much of a smooth talker?"
"Oh Barry, you have no idea, but I'll be sure to keep my smooth talking skills for your ears only from now on."
"Promise?" Frost tried his hand at flirting back, Cameron chuckled and nodded his head.
"That I can definitely promise you, plus I just quite enjoy how flustered you become."
If you only knew, Frost thought to himself, just as Cameron leaned down to kiss him this time.
"I didn't know I could enjoy kissing a guy so much, you have skills, let me tell you." Cameron heard music play in the background, he almost forgot that they had music and dancing on the Odyssey cruise. "Would you like to dance Barry?"
"Oh I don't really dance, I only dance at weddings, or when Jane needed to practice dancing with her first dance with Maura as her wife."
"Well it seems like I have to meet you at some sort of wedding, just to have our dance."
Frost smirked, "Are you subtly asking if you could be my date to Frankie and Susie's wedding next month?"
"I didn't know that their wedding is next month, but if that is the case, I will go, but you have to ask me."
"You know, I might just do that," he told the man in front of him, fixing his tie. "Depends how everything goes."
"Aah, making me wait Barry?" Cameron's smile widened.
"Would rather not ask you this far away, just in case you decide to change your mind near the wedding date."
"I see your point, I doubt I could change my mind though. I'm sure I can patiently wait to be asked, I can still continue to see you in the mean time, right?"
"I would hope we'd go out on another date, I mean if you have decided that you wanted to see where this goes."
"A man like you, wanting a guy like me, having the patience while I figure things out in my head. How could I not want to see where this goes. Slow and steady wins the race, and that's how I want to take things."
"If anyone can do slow and steady it's me."
"Oh I believe it Barry, that's what is so great about you, what is so great about our friendship with each other, we understand each other wholeheartedly. Although I think I could really get into this kissing you thing," he rested his hand on the other's man cheek.
Frost felt his cheeks flush, "For a man who is figuring things out you seem to enjoy kissing me."
"Are you granting me permission to kiss you again?"
"That all depends on you, if we're being honest. I'm all about making you comfortable, plus honestly I don't think I can get enough of it. Trust me when I say that is like a dream come true."
"How long have you had these feelings for me?" Cameron asked, realizing that he didn't exactly know. Nervous that Frost had secretly fallen too deep already.
"It was more attraction than feelings, but the more time I spend with you, the more I want to get to know you. I guess I'm trying to figure things out as well, especially with how recently we've both had been broken up with relationships we thought would last forever. I'm definitely not ready for anything serious, which is why I'm so patient with you trying to figure everything out. I'm still hurting over Tommy very much."
"Yeah I can see that, half the time we hang out with each other I see you get this sad look, plus you bring him up often. I know what you guys had was really strong, tough to move on from something like that. If you ever want to talk about him or your feelings though, I'm all ears, alright. I will always be wanting to put a smile on that face of yours, you deserve all the happiness in the world, whatever that ends up being. I got you."
Frost felt tears well up in his eyes, "I'm so tired, tired of missing him. I don't want to miss him this much anymore," he admitted, why did bringing up Tommy always have to hurt this bad.
Cameron opened up his arms and pulled Barry Frost close, rubbing his back. "I got you Barry, okay, whatever you need, I'll be right by your side. I'm not going anywhere," he held the man close, not expecting their conversation to end like this. He knew the man in his arms was hurting and he vowed to himself he would never make Frost feel as bad as Tommy had, if he hurt Frost he wouldn't know what he would do with himself. Frost only deserved great things in his life, and Cameron hoped that he could remain one of those great things.
Hope you liked this chapter, it had a bit of everyone. It was long because there was a lot to cover and I've been waiting to write this chapter for months. I knew you guys aren't fond of Korsangela intimate scenes so I transferred it to Susie and Frankie, hoping that was better to read than the other pair lol. I do love them as a couple so wanted to bring them in to play a little bit more. And who doesn't love a good sexual experience or two from our Rizzles. Jane is such a caring and loving wife, getting her wife all tired so she could set up the perfect home Valentine's Day meal. And their little speeches before dinner even made me cry. I loved writing all the couples connect with their partner and Frost starting to help Cameron figure out who he is because Frost is definitely super attracted to him.
Also I think it's important to share the reason behind the Frost/Cameron thing, it had been on my mind for a bit, but it's mainly my friend who inspired it, she thought she was just into girls but then this guy really caught her interest and she claims that he's changed her and she wants to do things she never thought about before, hence Cameron trying to figure out this whole thing with his budding friendmance with Frost. Frankie is supportive of his friend but he along with Susie really thought he'd date Benjamin, and Frost might never know. And Todd continues to be a cutie just wanting his Uncle happy.
Anywho, would love to get your thoughts on this chapter, my longest one in this story, that's a huge accomplishment I swore I could keep going. You know what to do, review :)
