So... About this chapter, I'm not very convinced about it, I tried to re-write the last part a couple of times but I don't know. Maybe I just need other opinions.
Please let me know what you think.
Enjoy
"Please Jane, be careful." Maura whispered into the dark hallway.
If someone, anyone, was going to tell me that morning that I would have spent that same night carrying a giant 130 pounds turtle up to a flight of stairs, during a blackout caused by the biggest fucking blizzard I've ever seen, after an almost-romantic dinner with my sexy best friend that would have ended with an almost-kiss, I would have handcuffed them on the nearest pipe, called the psychiatric center and then laughed so hard that I would have needed an oxygen tank... and probably an incontinece pad too.
And of course since both of our set of hands were occupied holding Maura's little fluffy pet, the only way to not trip over something in the dark, was to have a bit of light, and the source of said light was currently coming by the flashlight stuck into my mouth.
I narrowed dangerously my eyes at Maura. Talk would have just brought me to an incomprehensible... nothing. But I tried anyway. Only to be silenced with another whisper.
"Please Jane don't talk, he's asleep. If he wakes up, he would be scared and probably bite you."
I looked at her with my eyes wide open, suddenly afraid to accidentally wake up the apparently quiet and cute turtle that in reality was just a bloodthirsty wild beast.
I wanted to protest, or at least switch side with Maura so in the worst case scenario he would have just poop on my hand instead of finding myself without a finger.
Maura did it on purpose, the flashlight thing I mean, because she knew that the only way to keep my mouth shut to silence eventual protests, was to keep it occupied with something.
And I probably shouldn't have thought that, because just like that my mind wandered wildly, imagining all the things I wanted to do to Maura with my mouth.
Kiss every inch of her creamy skin was on top of the list.
I could almost hear her, moaning my name with every lick, every soft bite on her neck, slowly making my way lower, massaging her magnificent breasts, sucking her nipples into my mouth, kissing her perfectly flat abdomen, her whimpers and moans becoming louder by the minute, until I reach her center making her scream my name with my lips wrapped around her cli-
"Jane!"
That loud whisper made me look up, Maura was trying to glare at me, but the only thing I could see on her face was pure amusement.
"Whmmt?"
She chuckled softly "You are drooling on Bass's shell."
Oh. My. God. That's gross! I hurried as fast as I could without tripping over something, finally arriving at the top of the stairs, turning on the left and entering Maura's study.
As soon as the giant eating-people rock was on the floor I pulled the flashlight out of my mouth, wiping my chin with the sleeve of the shirt. Eww.
"So, now that you showed me how to get a slipped disc in a very creative way, would you explain why we needed to bring him here?"
Maura continued to take care of Bass leaving some warm towels at his side, building a cocoon around him. Even if I had used my 'complaining tone', it was really cute to see Maura taking care of her beloved pet. It brought a smile to my face.
Maura answered me while standing "It's warmer here, the room is not as spacious as the others and since the radiators are not working anymore due to the blackout, the heat in here will keep him warm long enough... I hope." She seemed very worried. "Oh Jane, I really hope he won't get sick from a respiratory system infection."
She knelt down again, caressing his shell sweetly. "He won't Maura, it's pretty warm in here and I'm sure someone is already working on the blackout-thing." I put my hand on her shoulder giving a reassuring squeeze and a smile.
She smiled back at me, looking a bit more calm thanks to my lame attempt to reassure her.
"Thank you Jane."
She raised from the floor and took the flashlight making her way out of the study. I followed her, leaving the door barely open behind me.
When I turned I was met with the magnificent view of Maura's backside, even in the dim light I could see how well shaped and firm it was.
I swallowed hard, doing everything to keep from drooling again but my eyes wouldn't leave it until she stopped, right in front of her bedroom. And of course I was so distracted that I tripped over myself crashing against Maura, fortunately not hard enough to knock her on the ground.
I knew something was going to stop me eventually, but just as she turned, my gaze was fixed on her breasts. A groan escaped my lips before I could process. Jane Rizzoli you are an animal.
"Jane are you okay?" I heard the concern in her voice.
I was sure that my head was going to combust, I could feel heat all over my face and neck, and the irresistible impulse to jump from the window and roll on the cool snow on the street.
"Uh.."
Really? A grunt? Oh, George Romero would be so proud of me if I were in one of his movies.
"Jane?" Maura's voice obliged me to look up and met her gaze.
I swallowed. "Y-yeah... I...Er.. just need to.." push you on your bed and make love to you like there is no tomorrow. "...go to the bathroom!" I didn't even wait for her to respond I just walked straight towards the bathroom, closing the door behind me and leaning against it.
I was officially on the edge. I don't think I can do this.
I washed my face trying to clear my head from images after images of Maura naked under me, a thin layer of sweat covering her fair skin, moaning uncontrollably as my fingers thrusted deep in-
I forced the thoughts away looking at the reflection of my wet and flushed face on the mirror. I pointed my finger at that reflection. "You, are a pervert. And Maura Isles is my friend, so I will not think to do those things to her wonderful well shaped body. Understand?" I nodded to myself, feeling more than a little preoccupied that I was speaking with my own reflection.
Desperate time calls for desperate measures. I was just disappointed that I couldn't have some of the freezing cold snow to put inside my underwear at the moment.
When I opened the bathroom door, I saw Maura's bedroom glowing with the warm light of candles that she had scattered around the room.
The atmosphere put me immediately at ease. The tense muscles in my jaw and shoulders were gone in a matter of seconds and the sweet aroma of cinnamon helped to slow my breathing.
I was starting to feel like after the shower that I had taken before, all the thoughts and stress were behind me, washed away by the warm water.
I felt clean and comfortable again. And knowing Maura, she probably did it on purpose, noticing how nervous I was just a few minutes before.
I saw her staring outside of the window, I closed the door behind me with a soft click making my way towards her.
When I was at her side, she turned to look at me "Are you all right Jane?"
The shadows created by the lights of the candles were dancing on the walls around us, but the warm light had a beautiful effect on Maura's face, making her skin glow.
I nodded at her with a small smile. "Yeah, I'm fine."
She smiled at me briefly before returning her gaze towards the window. "It's a beautiful sight..." The snow was falling more slowly and the street below us was completely covered in a white thick layer of it, and even if the sky was dark, the moon was shining in the distance, making the scene looks like a picture for a christmas card.
When I answered, my eyes were on her face, looking at the most beautiful sight ever. "So beautiful."
She turned her head to meet my gaze and I couldn't stop my hand to reach out and cup her cheek, caressing her soft skin with my thumb.
She leaned against my hand letting out a sigh and closing her eyes.
I didn't expect her to react like that. I wasn't expecting anything at all because I didn't even think about touching her in the first place.
The atmosphere was just so warm and relaxing and all my thoughts about lust and desire were so far away from my mind that all I could see, was the woman I loved with all my being, standing in front of me, that seemed to enjoy the delicate touch offered by my hand.
If I wanted to pretend for a moment, I wanted that moment to last just a bit longer.
I closed almost completely the distance between us.
I wasn't thinking. My head was blank, unable to process. But my heart... My heart was screaming inside of my chest. Screaming to have that other piece that belonged with it. With me.
Maura opened her eyes and the light that I saw in them caused my breath to stop.
Could it be? Could it be that Maura was feeling the same?
She turned her face to kiss my hand, the one that was resting on her cheek.
I felt the touch of those lips right in the center of my palm. I closed my eyes at the contact.
She took my hand in hers and started kissing slowly each one of my fingers.
I couldn't believe this was happening, it was like I was watching the scene like a third spectator and I couldn't do anything to stop myself from what was happening.
I was too far gone to stop. I didn't want it to stop. I just wanted to feel those soft delicate lips on every inch of my body and reciprocate the gesture a thousand of times.
My other hand was on her waist pulling her flush against me.
Maura looked up, her soft hazel eyes looking deeply into my very soul. She was biting her lower lip. The heat emanating from her was overwhelming, just like her scent.
I reconnected our eyes.
"Please... Maura. Tell me to stop."
My throat felt dry making my voice sounds particularly low and raspy.
We were so close that no space existed between us. I caressed her cheek again, pleading her with my eyes to stop me from doing something that could have changed our lives and our friendship forever.
She leaned in, looking at me briefly, showing me the same desire and love that I knew I was trying so desperately to hold back.
"I don't want you to stop Jane." She whispered those words against my lips.
And then it happened.
And all I could think of was that if Heaven had a place, that place was on Maura Isles's lips.
I know, it's a mess right? I hope I will do better on the next chapter. Anyhow.. Thanks for reading everyone :)
