Operation Isles
It had been five whole days working on this case, trying to find out where Hoyt was. It had turned into a waiting game. Waiting for Hoyt to show himself. None of them had had much sleep and barely left the station, Maura was still waiting on the DNA tests and going over the reports of the autopsy, while the detectives tried to map out likely places of Hoyt's whereabouts. Maura got some sleep on the sofa in her office and Jane got a few hours of sleep sitting in her desk chair.
The two women only saw each other when Maura came up to the bull pen to give out extra information and to help in any way she could or if Jane came down to the morgue to see if the DNA results had come through.
They hadn't had the chance to speak properly and the two women both craved and dreaded the talk that they needed to have.
They were planning on working throughout the weekend, yet everyone knew not to miss Angela's dinner the next evening, so on Saturday night the team found themselves in the same bar as the first night, looking forward to being able to sleep in their own bed that night and having the day off the next day.
They had been drinking for what seemed like hours; the bar was packed, the lively and intoxicating atmosphere allowed the group to let their hair down and forget about the case, releasing them of the stress and fear, instead letting them focus on themselves.
Frankie had joined them at some point and was now in the middle of being shown how to 'dance properly' by Frost. The two women and Korsak were in hysterics.
Maura's hand had found its way onto Jane's thigh at some point in the night and was slowly rubbing up and down. The Lieutenant was having trouble concentrating on anything other than that hand. They both knew that they really needed to talk about what they were to each other but right now Jane didn't care about anything other than pinning Maura against a wall.
"Heyyyyyy guysss I waaana dance! Someone come with meee" Frankie's drunken speech sent the table into a fit of laughter.
"Go on then, let's show off those moves I've shown you." Frost was better at hiding his drunkenness than Frankie, it seemed.
During the conversation Maura's head had ended up on Jane's shoulder. Jane smiled and placed her hand on top of Maura's giving it a squeeze. Suddenly Jane felt the doctor move up to her ear and bite it gently, causing a shiver to run down Jane's spine.
"I want to dance too." Came Maura's whisper as she blew onto the skin behind the Lieutenant's ear.
Jane looked down at Maura who was in the middle biting her bottom lip and Maura looked at the dark haired woman through her eyelashes and Jane had an inkling that Maura wasn't talking about the sort of dancing that you should do in public.
Before Frost and Frankie had managed to get up to walk to the dance floor, Korsak spoke up and told the group that he needed to get back to check on his dogs. A chorus of boos from everyone, even Maura, was heard and after saying his goodbyes he called a taxi and was on his way.
When he left, Jane remembered her own dog, reaching for her phone she text Tommy and asked if he could go and see how Jo was. Getting a reply straight away.
Yeah sure, sis. Would it be alright if I have Lydia over to keep me company?
Jane's tipsy mind didn't see a problem with the idea and she text back.
Thanks Tommy and yeah whatever, just don't do it in my bed.
Jane put her phone in her front pocket and turned towards the woman next to her, who was currently running her finger around the rim of her wine glass. The doctor turned to see a smile full of admiration from the dark haired woman next to her. When the blonde returned the smile, Jane's face suddenly became serious.
"What does this mean?" Jane's question was laced with actual curiosity and Maura wished she had the answer to it. "Us, I mean." Jane took Maura's silence for confusion and the doctor gave her a weak smile.
"To be truthful, I have no clue." Maura retracted her hand from Jane's leg and picked up her wine and drank a large mouthful.
"It doesn't have to mean anything. It could just be casual... but I dunno if I want that." Jane wasn't used to talking about her feelings, especially in public. Maura saw Jane give a self-conscious look around.
"If you would be more comfortable having this conversation in private we could head back to my place and leave those two to uh... dance?" Both Maura and Jane looked over at the two men who were 'dancing' in the middle of crowd, obviously trying to impress the girls at the bar.
"If we go back to your place, I don't think much talking would be happening..." Jane smirked at herself and took a gulp of her beer, looking over at Maura who was in the midst of swallowing thickly.
Finishing her beer, Jane fiddled with it between her two hands, the nervous feeling coming back to her. "Look, if you want casual I can do casual, but the thing is... I kind of wanna take you on dates and give you flowers and fruit baskets-"
"Ooh I do love those fudge clusters that sometimes come in fruit baskets!" Maura interrupted excitedly, earning a hearty laugh from the woman next to her.
"Then I'll get you some fudge clusters. And if you're lucky I'll attach a post it note that has a really soppy message on, that I would deny writing if you told anyone about... I would do all this because you deserve it after the crap you've been through." Jane took a steadying breath and ran her hand through her hair.
"Look Maura, I know we work together and it would be awkward if this didn't work but I'm not one to give up on something before it even happened and... anyway it's a big hospital; I'm sure we could avoid each other if we wanted." This earned a laugh from the blonde.
"And you're a nice distraction from all this Hoyt stuff... W-wait I didn't mean that you're just a distraction. I-I goddammit I just can't have Hoyt have any more control over my life... So what I'm trying to say is would you like to go on a date with me?" Jane looked over at the doctor shyly and panic struck her face.
"Oh god, Maura! I didn't mean to make ya cry!" Jane placed her hand on the doctor's arm and sat up frantically. Maura just laughed and waved it off.
"No no, it's just that my amygdala and my lacrimal gland have a connection that I can't really control. It was just really sweet to hear you say those things. And to answer your question, yes I would love to go on a date with you." Jane couldn't hold in her giddiness as she pumped her fist into the air, earning a laugh and a gentle slap on the arm from the doctor.
When Frankie and Frost finally came over they found the two women in a sideways embrace with Jane whispering in the blonde's ear. The two men shared knowing looks and sat down opposite them, breaking them apart slightly.
"So no luck with the girls at the bar?" When all Jane got was glum faces she faked a shocked face, "Wow, those girls must be blind. Those dance moves dripped sex." Both Frankie and Frost threw straws and nut shells at the Lieutenant. "Oh, you starting?" Before they knew a war had begun on their table, even Maura was getting involved; earning a gleaming smile from the dark haired woman.
"Man I am tired." Jane groaned as she walked through Maura's front door; later that night, taking off her boots and placing her gun and badge in a drawer that Maura had said she cleared out for her.
"I hope you're not too tired." Jane picked up on the sultry tones in Maura's voice and turned around just in time for Maura to grab her by the lapels of her jacket and pull her roughly into a kiss. Jane moaned at the unexpected contact and copied the same rhythm that Maura's lips had set; her arms circling around the blonde's waist, pulling her closer.
The kiss became hotter as Maura took control and pushed her tongue into a welcoming mouth, earning a growl from the Lieutenant.
Maura suddenly pulled back with a smirk, forcing Jane to whine at the lost of contact until suddenly the dark haired woman was being pushed down by the shoulders to sit on the sofa. Jane looked at Maura, whose hazel eyes were dark with arousal.
Before Jane could speak, Maura had hiked up her skirt to her waist and got onto the sofa, straddling Jane's lap and wrapping her arms around the Lieutenant's neck. Jane's hands instantly went to Maura's hips and her lips instantly went to Maura's neck.
The shorter woman instantly let out a moan as the Lieutenant left open mouthed kisses along her neck.
Jane bit down gently on Maura's pulse point and soothed it with her tongue afterwards, noticing the sounds the woman was making, Jane gripped her hips harder in reply and continued to kiss her way up Maura's neck.
Maura had at some point closed her eyes and grabbed hold of Jane's head, feeling smooth hair run between her fingers.
The Lieutenant moved her hands from the blonde's hip to her ass and squeezed not-so-gently, earning a gasp from the woman on top of her.
Maura moved Jane's head up from her neck so she could crash their lips together, as she did so she rolled her hips, effectively grinding Jane's lap, she moaned at the sensation and Jane growled into the kiss, biting Maura's lip.
The doctor slowly rolled her hips again, inviting a delicious sensation. Jane suddenly had enough and moved her hands from Maura's ass to the front of the woman.
While they hungrily kissed, Jane untucked the doctor's shirt from her skirt and blindly unbuttoned it.
Maura quickly shrugged off the offensive particle of clothing from her shoulders and Jane leant back to admire the doctor's bra clad breasts.
Maura watched the Lieutenant as she slowly ran her hands through the dark hair, noticing the darkening eyes of the woman underneath her. Before she knew it Maura was being flipped and with a yelp she ended up lying on her back, on the sofa, with Jane hovering over her.
When Maura gave the woman above her a look saying that she was the boss, Jane just laughed,
"What? You may be the boss but I'm in charge." Jane slowly rubbed her hands up and down Maura's bare thighs.
"Jane?"
"Yeah?"
"Shut up." Maura smirked at the shocked face on the Lieutenant.
"You did not just tell me to shut up." When all Jane got was a defiant look and a teasing wink from the blonde she moved her hands up to her sides.
Maura suddenly caught onto what Jane was doing, seeing the devious look in her eyes.
"Jane, don't you dare!" Before she could defend herself Jane had started tickling the shorter woman.
The room filled with laughter and screams of joy as the Maura tried getting out of Jane's vice grip.
Maura covered her face with her arms to contain her laughter, suddenly Jane stopped her attack and gently grabbed hold of the blonde's arms and moved them away from her face and to above her head.
Suddenly Jane and Maura's eyes that were filled with amusement instead turned to desire and lust.
Maura urged Jane to lean forward and capture her lips, but Jane just stared deeply into the doctor's eyes.
Eventually Maura became impatient and rolled her hips into the woman above her and due to the play fight, her leg was placed in between Jane's thighs and in rolling her hips her leg pressed firmly into Jane's core.
Maura didn't realise this until Jane let out a guttural moan that sent a gush of wetness to Maura's own core.
Jane suddenly came to action and kissed Maura with as much passion and hunger as she could, leaving Maura breathless.
Whilst their tongues duelled with each other, Jane tentatively started to roll her hips onto Maura's thigh.
Eventually Maura moved her hands out of Jane's hold above her head, reaching down she grabbed hold of Jane's ass, helping Jane push into her and squeezing it, earning a growl from the panting woman.
Jane moved from Maura's lips after biting her bottom lip and turned her attention to her chest, sucking, kissing and nibbling around the top of Maura's bra clad breasts.
Jane looked up and saw a tiny amount of blood trickle from Maura's lip. Jane would've been worried if it wasn't for Maura noticing the blood and giving her a seductive look while gripping her ass tighter.
Jane moved her hand up and wiped the blood away with her finger, finally tracing Maura's bottom lip.
Unexpectedly, Maura took Jane's finger into her mouth and sucked on it, swirling her tongue around the tip.
It was one of the most erotic things that both woman had seen and done, which urged Jane to crash their lips together and ground hard onto Maura's leg.
Maura moaned into the Lieutenant's mouth, but then Jane abruptly and sharply pulled away, kneeling upright, breathing heavily with her eyes closed.
"Jane? Are you okay?" Maura's voice was laced with concern, as she took in the sight of the flustered Lieutenant.
"Yeah, just give me a sec." It was clear to see it was effort for Jane to try and talk normally.
Suddenly something clicked and Maura realised what just happened. Or nearly happened in this case.
"Jane did you nearly org-"
"Oh god Maura, don't call it that. And I think so..." Jane buried her face in her hands, in embarrassment.
"Don't be embarrassed, Jane. It's perfectly normal." Jane only whined at Maura's words.
"Not when I nearly came like a sixteen year old boy who couldn't control himself."
Maura did her best to try and hide a laugh but Jane noticed and sent her a death glare
"Oh you think that's funny, do you?" Maura's laughter died down at the look in the taller woman's eyes.
"Hey, remember what happened the last time you attacked me." Maura said as she edged slowly off the sofa, watching Jane intently for any movement.
Maura got to a sitting position on the edge of the sofa when Jane thought that it was the right time to make a move. She suddenly lunged toward Maura, earning a playful and shocked scream from the doctor, who had jumped up and was running away.
Jane quickly got to her feet and chased after the squealing blonde.
She caught up with her with ease and in no time the Lieutenant had melded her front to Maura's back, pinning her against the wall.
"You know, I'm trying to treat you right by not having my way with you before we have even gone on one date, but you're making it so hard to." Jane whispered in the doctor's ear, feeling her shiver against her.
Jane went to work on wrapping one arm around the blonde's waist and the other arm on the wall above their heads, holding Maura's arm up there. Jane entwined their fingers and started kissing Maura's neck, happy at the moans and whimpers that were coming out of the doctor's mouth.
All of a sudden the sound of a phone ringing broke the moment.
"Ignore it." Maura whimpered as she rolled her ass back into the Lieutenant when she felt Jane reach for her pocket.
Smiling at the doctor, Jane kept up her assault on the blonde's neck, forgetting about the ringing.
When both phones went off, they knew they had to stop.
Stepping back from each other they answered.
"Rizzoli."
"Isles."
Both women smiled sheeply at each other as they started to listen to what the person on the phone was saying.
Jane felt her legs nearly give way at the information and Maura stood stock still.
Ending the phone calls, the room fell into silence.
They were being called into a crime scene for a double murder.
The crime scene was Jane's apartment.
"Tommy" Jane whispered.
"What was that, Jane?"
"I text Tommy to see if he could go over there to look after Jo and he asked if he could have Lydia over. Oh god, Maur. What if it's them?" Jane whimpered at the end, fumbling for her phone.
Maura enveloped Jane in a tight supportive embrace, Jane frantically scrolled through her contacts and clicked on Tommy's name, putting the phone up to her ear, she gripped Maura's shirt in her other hand.
The phone rang and rang and which each ring Jane felt her heart sink.
Eventually someone picked up.
"Tommy? Tommy? I swear to god, if something has happened to you-"
"Jane! Jane! Calm down I'm alright!" Tommy's voice forced Jane to let out a breath that she didn't realise she was holding.
"Oh thank god, Tommy. What happened?" Jane said while putting the speaker on allowing Maura to sigh in relief at the realisation that Jane's brother was fine.
"Well me and Lydia had a night to ourselves as Ma is looking after TJ so-"
"I meant about the murder, Tommy."
"Yeah, yeah. I'm getting to that. Shit has really hit the fan here, sis. We walked through the door and turned on the lights and Jesus Christ it was like something out of SAW-" When Maura looked at Jane with a confused look, Jane just waved it off and mouthed 'horror film'.
"Yeah well anyway, they're saying it's Hoyt and I swear to god, sis. I will kill him if he tries going near you again."
"Yeah you're not the only one who wants him dead, Tommy. Oh shit, how's Jo?" Jane suddenly remembered her dog and although she wouldn't openly admit it she had grown to love her.
"Oh Jo's fine, they found her in the washing basket, clever dog." Jane sighed out in relief.
"Alright, thank you. We'll be there soon, hang tight bro."
And that's how the two women, Maura now properly dressed, found them outside Jane's apartment.
"Hello Vince, how are you?" Maura asked politely, while pulling on her latex gloves.
"Tired and sick of Hoyt, just like everyone else." Maura gave him a sad smile and they both turned to look at Jane, whose face was void of any emotion.
"Where's Frost?" Jane asked while pulling on her own gloves.
"He's taking statements from Tommy and Lydia. It's a shame that their alone time was ruined, TJ is a handful at the best of times." Korsak replied, looking at Jane to notice a tight nod.
"Vic names?" Jane called out, while opening the door.
Once Maura and Jane saw one of the bodies they didn't need to be told the names.
"Lauren?"
