Wanted – The Series – Part 4 – No Time
Disclaimer: The characters are not mine – they belong to Tess Gerritsen, Janet Tamaro and TNT. I'm just borrowing them for some entertainment.
Jane glanced at the clock on the bottom right of her computer screen.
"Frost, please tell me that it's not really eleven o'clock," Jane said, putting her head down on the desk.
"I wish I could Jane."
"This case is killing me. I'm drained. I feel like Maura and I are ships in the night."
"You guys fighting?"
"No, I wouldn't say that. She's working as hard as we are and it's just a lot. Trying to plan a wedding in this line of work is not easy. So far, we have a date and a few places we want to look at for the reception. And hopefully their dates match ours. That's all we got."
"It will all come together. When this case is done, take a few days off and work on some then," he suggested, turning off his computer.
"Yeah, that's a good idea. Come on, man, let's get out of here for tonight."
R&IR&IR&I
Jane quietly went into the house and armed it. She checked around downstairs to make sure all was good before she went upstairs to the bedroom. What Jane had neglected to tell Frost was that she and Maura haven't had much in the way of intimate time and it was starting to take its toll on both of them. They were snapping at each other a lot and each was quick to lose patience with the other.
She went into the guest room to quietly undress so she didn't wake Maura. She slipped into bed against the blonde, wrapping a protective arm around her waist. Maura didn't even stir.
R&IR&IR&I
Maura woke up a few minutes before the alarm was to go off and she quickly switched it off so it wouldn't awaken Jane. She turned to face her detective and noticed that as beautiful as she was while sleeping, she still looked exhausted. Maura missed Jane. She missed her touch, her kiss, everything. They rarely saw each other anymore since this triple homicide occurred.
She lightly kissed Jane's lips, running her hand slowly down her side. Jane groaned and turned over.
Maura, slightly insulted, got up to go take a shower. When she came out of the shower, Jane was sitting up on the edge of the bed.
"Mornin' babe," Jane said, standing up and stretching.
"Good morning."
Jane noticed the icy tone right away. "What could I possibly have done when I haven't even been up for five minutes?"
Maura sighed and went to Jane and wrapped her arms around her.
"You didn't do anything. I, God, I tried to kiss you this morning and you groaned and rolled over," Maura said, starting to cry but smiling.
"I did? Honey, please don't cry. I'm sorry. I'm just so drained," Jane said, hugging Maura tightly.
"I know. I know you are. I just miss you."
Jane smiled. "I miss you too. I rolled over, huh?"
"Yes! I really need some time with you, Jane."
"Oh, trust me, babe, I know. I know," Jane said as she leaned down for a kiss.
The kiss started gently but soon became more frantic. Maura backed Jane up to the bed and dropped her towel.
"You're so fucking gorgeous."
Sitting on Jane's lap, Maura continued the kiss as Jane palmed one of her breasts. It was at that very moment that both of their phones starting ringing.
"No. NO! Son of a bitch," Jane screamed.
Maura sighed and got off of Jane to get their phones.
"Rizzoli."
"Isles"
Jane closed her eyes and grabbed the bridge of her nose.
"Yeah, be there shortly."
"Yes, I'll be en route in just a few minutes."
They both hung up.
"Well, great. Number four. Fuck me!" Jane exclaimed as she headed for the shower.
Maura sighed.
"That's what I was trying to do."
Jane spun around and looked at Maura, shocked.
"What?"
Jane just laughed and headed into the shower. Once in the shower, it hit her just how frustrated she was and inexplicable tears started to fall down her cheeks. She needed some time alone with Maura and needed it soon.
Maura finished getting dressed and went downstairs to make quick to-go cups of coffee, while Jane got ready. A few minutes later she came down. Maura kissed her tenderly.
"I love you, Jane. We will get time together, soon," she said.
Jane threw her arms around her neck and held her tightly. "I know, I just really want it now."
"We'd better get moving. Let's go together today."
"Honey, you'll most likely be done way before me."
"It's okay, let's go."
They grabbed the coffee and headed out to the crime scene.
R&IR&IR&I
Surveying the body, Jane looked around. "It's the same killer."
"Jane, I don't like to guess," Maura said, doing her preliminary analysis.
"I'm NOT guessing. Seriously, Maur?"
"If I had to say just by looking right now, I'd say yes. Yes, it's the same killer."
Korsak spoke up.
"Fantastic, there's a serial killer running around Boston. Great," the older man muttered.
"Yes, but Cavanaugh won't cop to that in the press. Speaking of the press … Yay. The troops are already lining up over by the cars," Jane said, sipping the last of her coffee.
Everyone wrapped up at the scene and headed back to the station. Jane walked Maura downstairs to the morgue.
"It's dead down here," Jane said.
Maura smirked and stared at her.
"Oh, I mean, uh, no pun intended there, I just meant we seem to be alone," Jane said, slipping her arms around the ME.
"For the moment, yes, but anyone could come down here anytime, Jane."
Jane threw her head back in frustration. "Yeah, okay. You're right. Please baby, please find something on this one. I pray this fucker left some sort of evidence."
"I do too, honey. I do too. It's frustrating for me to have to come up and tell you guys that there's nothing."
"I know it is, Maur," the detective said, kissing Maura sweetly.
"I better head upstairs. Lunch later?"
"Yes, please."
The morning was busy. They had a witness to one of the murders come forth and Jane was busy with him while he worked with a sketch artist and gave his statement. After he left, Jane raced down to the morgue.
"Maura! We just had an eyewitness give us a sketch and a statement!" Jane exclaimed, running into the morgue.
"That's great, Jane. Want some even better news? He erred this time - there's a hair and DNA under the victim's nails. The blood results showed that there wasn't enough of a sedative in the victim's system to keep him subdued while the killer worked. I should have results very shortly."
Jane's eyes lit up. "We're going to get this son of a bitch, Maur, I can feel it."
Maura smiled. "We are, Jane. I won't have results for at least another hour and I'm starving. How about we go the café for something quick?"
Jane took her phone and texted him to let him know they were waiting on results and that they'd be up in the café.
"Absolutely, baby. I'm hungry too."
R&IR&IR&I
The test results came back, giving the detectives the suspect's name and when they ran it, the photo attached to the file matched the sketch derived from the witness's description.
"Let's go get this mother fucker!" Jane said, throwing on her jacket.
"Jane. Please, be careful," Maura said.
"I will, I promise. I love you."
"I love you too."
The three detectives made their way out. Maura went down to her office to try to do her report, all the while thinking of the detectives. She always got nervous when Jane went to go bring in a suspect.
R&IR&IR&I
Two hours later, Maura heard the unmistakable sound of Jane's boots running into the morgue. She stood up as Jane shut and locked her door.
"WE GOT HIM! Maura we got him!"
Jane picked up her fiancée and swung her around, kissing her soundly. Placing Maura gently on the ground, Jane continued the kiss, slowly backing Maura to the couch. Maura moaned softly as Jane lowered her onto her back.
"God, I've missed you," Jane murmured, kissing Maura's neck below her ear.
"Jane, you're teasing."
Jane smiled as she nuzzled her nose against Maura's ear.
"I just have to do some paperwork and then you and I have the rest of this week and the weekend off. Cavanaugh just offered that since we've been working so hard on this case. And I have quite a few ideas of what I want to do during our time off."
They smiled at each other, giddy with excitement. Gripping Jane's ass playfully, Maura kissed her and nipped at her bottom lip. Jane growled and ran her tongue along Maura's bottom lip, seeking entrance. Maura, having missed Jane's touch, eagerly opened her mouth to accept the detective's probing tongue.
"I know your rules baby, but I really need you," Jane whispered, her right hand untucking Maura's blouse from her skirt. It traveled up to her right breast and slowly started to knead it through her bra.
Maura threw her head back. She had missed Jane equally. The detective was like a drug to her, so addictive. The ME quickly undid Jane's pants and slid her hand down inside her panties.
"Fuck," Jane whispered as she started to buck her hips against Maura's hand.
Jane's hand made its way under Maura's skirt. She quickly pushed her underwear aside and slid two fingers inside. Their bodies became one as they quickly brought each other over the edge. Jane collapsed on top of Maura.
"I can't wait to just be with you for the next few days. That's all I want," Jane said, kissing Maura's ear.
"Neither can I. Hurry that paperwork along so we can get home and lock ourselves into the bedroom," Maura said, kissing Jane.
"I'm sorry I couldn't wait, Maur. It's just that it's been so long."
"If ever there was a time to break a rule, Detective, this was it. Now, get that sexy ass upstairs and please finish that damn paperwork quickly."
Jane smiled, kissed her again and sat up to get herself situated. "I need about an hour, tops. I'll text, okay, baby?"
"Okay. I'll be waiting."
Jane smiled and ran out the door. Maura locked it again to get herself put together. Her body was tingling, vibrating for Jane.
R&IR&IR&I
Maura's phone buzzed exactly an hour later. I'm ready. Meet you on 1. xo
The ME smiled to herself as she gathered her belongings and made her way upstairs. All the arrangements for coverage had been made and all she wanted was to get home to spend time with Jane. Both sets of elevators opened at the same time and each of them stepped off, smiling.
"Food, then home," Jane said.
"Let's pick up something to bring home."
Jane nodded and together, they headed out. Once in the car, Jane casually rested her right hand on Maura's thigh.
"I can't believe we're really off for five days Jane," Maura said.
The detective smiled. "I know. God, I know."
After stopping off to pick up Thai, they got home and settled at the counter to eat, Maura cracking open a bottle of wine and Jane grabbing a beer.
The air was sizzling with tension. Jane had to restrain herself from clearing the food off the counter and throwing Maura onto it. They quietly finished their dinner and once everything was put away and discarded, Jane walked up behind Maura, her hands resting gently on her shoulders.
Jane moved Maura's hair to the side, exposing her neck. She smiled as she felt the ME shiver slightly.
"I love that I do that to you," she said, gently kissing Maura's neck under her ear.
Maura exhaled. "Only you, Jane."
Jane smiled, continuing her exploration of Maura's neck. She bit gently and ran her tongue over it to soothe the skin, blowing on it for good measure.
"Let's take this to the bedroom, shall we, Detective?"
Jane smiled. "Go. I'll meet you in there. I want to make sure everything is locked up and then, you'd better be ready for me."
Maura kissed her gently. "You have no idea just how ready I am for you." And with that, she turned and sauntered away toward the bedroom, her hips swaying seductively.
Jane groaned and made fast work of making sure the house was secure. When she got to the bedroom, Maura was in the sexiest black lingerie Jane had ever seen. Her throat went dry and her heart started pounding.
"You have no idea what you do to me, Maura."
The blonde smiled as she pulled Jane by the hand and sat her on the bed.
"I want to worship every single inch of your body, Jane. Please let me."
Jane nodded dumbly as Maura straddled her lap, slowly unbuttoning her shirt. Sliding it down her shoulders, the ME started her kiss on the side of Jane's neck, flicking her earlobe gently as her mouth made its way down to her pulse point. Maura sucked gently as her hands deftly undid Jane's bra and tossed it to the side. The ME smiled at her accomplishment and ran her hands along Jane's torso, each thumb gently circling a quickly-taut nipple. Jane threw her head back, relishing the touch of her lover.
Maura leaned Jane back on the bed and replaced her thumb with her mouth. Her hands went down to Jane's belt and slowly undid her pants and zipper. She pulled away to remove Jane's boots and pants, leaving the brunette only in her panties. "You look so hot just like that, Jane. God you're the sexiest thing I've ever seen."
Jane smiled and reached out to pull Maura back onto the bed with her. Turning toward each other, they shared a tender kiss. Jane ran her hand along Maura's side and came to rest on her hip as she scooted impossibly closer to her.
"Hi."
Maura smiled. "Hi."
Jane's brown eyes were soft as she took in the sight in front of her, her soon-to-be-wife. Maura leaned in for another kiss, running her tongue along Jane's lip, seeking entrance that was quickly granted. Their tongues dueled lazily with absolutely no intent to rush. Maura gently eased Jane down onto her back and settled to Jane's side, kissing her slowly. Maura knew how turned on Jane got just by kissing. She let her hand slide down to the detective's stomach, gently stroking her well-toned abs.
"Maur," Jane moaned, gently guiding Maura's hand to her center.
"I'm not rushing this Jane," she whispered.
Jane's right hand tangled in Maura's hair, pulling her closer to continue their kiss. Normally, Jane would turn the tables and flip them to take the top, but she was spellbound by Maura. The ME's hand drifted to Jane's center as she stroked her through her panties. Jane moaned into the kiss.
"Please, take them off," Jane whispered.
Maura smiled and obliged, removing the soaked garment and tossing it to the floor. "You're so wet, baby."
"You make me this way, Maura. Please, baby."
Maura dipped to kiss Jane's lips as she easily slid two fingers inside her, curling them up to hit the detective's sweet spot. Jane's hips bucked against Maura's hand. The blonde flattened her palm against Jane's clit with each inside stroke. The brunette was panting. "Faster, Maur, harder."
Maura quickened her pace and within moments, Jane's orgasm ripped through her almost violently. The ME slowed her movements and watched, proudly, as Jane shuddered in the aftershocks of her pleasure. She slowly removed her hand and made her way to settle down between Jane's legs.
"God, that was amazing. Maura, you're amazing. I don't have a lot left in me, baby. Please, I want to make love to you," she croaked out, still trying to catch her breath.
"I want to make this about you."
"No. It's never just going to be about me or you. It's always about us," Jane said, sitting up and flipping them, so Maura found herself flat on her back.
Maura smiled as she watched Jane remove her lingerie.
"It won't take me long, Jane. I'm so ready."
"I can make it last, Maur."
Maura knew that was true. So many nights Jane took Maura right to the edge then led her away, several times. It was truly the most pleasurable torture. She groaned as the detective gently kissed the inside of her thigh. Jane swore Maura's arousal gave her an actual high. She inhaled.
"So sweet," she muttered before gently hitting Maura's clit with her tongue. Maura's hips immediately darted up and Jane settled her hands on her thighs to still her and simultaneously open her up for better access. Concentrating on the task at hand, she knew Maura was just as exhausted as she was and needed release. There would be time for sweet torture during the next few days. Sliding two fingers inside Maura, she also flattened her tongue against her.
Maura gently pushed Jane's head against her to hold her in the spot she needed most. A few minutes later, Jane's tongue had worked its magic and the blonde came violently and loudly. Jane lapped up all that Maura offered as she came down from her high.
Jane made her way to lie next to her lover.
"I love you," Maura said, her eyes closed, a smile of bliss on her face.
Jane laughed throatily. "I love you, too. And I'm so done."
"Me too," Maura laughed. "I really want another round, but I can't."
"Me neither, babe, me neither. But tomorrow, your ass is mine."
"My ass is always yours, Jane."
"Damn right. Goodnight baby," Jane said, pulling Maura close against her. Not even two minutes later, Jane heard the telltale gentle snoring and the even breaths and knew the blonde had fallen asleep. Smiling, Jane placed a gently kiss on Maura's head and closed her eyes as well, sleep welcoming her with open arms.
