Chapter 11: Blue Haze
Jane scooted back over to Lisbon, before the photographer had the chance to stop him, with something dark blue and round in his hand. She caught Jane's eye and her eyebrows rose in a questioning stare.
"Jane? Is that my old SFPD hat"? Jane's usual megawatt smile appeared and he nodded to confirm her suspicions,
"Thought it would look really good for the shoot, seeing as CBI agents don't wear a uniform, and we all know men as well as women like people in uniforms..." Lisbon scowled this time, indignantly tossing her hair,
"If I remember correctly, Jane, that item was in my wardrobe"?
"Erm, well, yes it was, and I decided to take a peek when you were busy in the shower" indignation turned quickly into disbelief and finally exasperation, he really was the limit,
"You could have asked Jane, y'know...as common courtesy? I would have been okay with it" she added, not believing she would have been for a moment and he plopped the hexagonal-shaped hat unceremoniously on Lisbon's head and slightly cocked it off-centre, twisting the peak down towards her eyebrows... God, he was going to come undone in front of her at this rate, there was that infuriating smirk again, the one that always reached his eyes,
" Now are you sure about that my dear Teresa? Somehow...I don't think you would have been"?
"Oh what a fantastic idea, man" Benedict drawled as soon as he clocked what Jane had done "This is going to sell heaps"! he enthused and Lisbon, who was growing ever more impatient by the second merely rolled her eyes and watched Jane's twinkle somewhat mischievously..."Ok, Teresa, just turn a little to your left and look down towards the floor slightly with your eyes only...That's perfect! Keep the gun held up and your face turned towards me like that.. Yes, perfect. Try and give me smoldering ... Oh yeeahhh! That's it, more baby, more"!
Lisbon glared at him, stupid man! Couldn't he tell when a woman was not in the slightest bit impressed...God! Why had she agreed to this? Oh yes... JANE! A deep breath followed...Had to try and remember that this was for a very good cause...no other reason for her to be standing here, during precious time off...half naked... She would just have to grin and bear it a little while longer. Shot after shot was reeled off until finally...thankfully it was Grace's turn...
Jane ran over to Lisbon with the towel she'd originally arrived on set swathed in and started fussing over her. He wrapped it around her tiny frame, but not without first placing a delicate kiss on her shoulder. Lisbon's surprise was almost total, the way her body reacted, shocked her even more, she trembled...and she knew Jane had felt it, he had that look on his face, the expression that said...Hmmm, Interesting!
Lisbon's brain was running a mile a minute. Oh god, Jane kissed me! Well, on the shoulder...But, hell yes! he kissed my half naked body, and it felt really good...Oh my, she thought, I'm falling for him... I am actually falling for my consultant!
This really hit home hard after all, Jane did come with more baggage than American Airlines... But even she had to admit, he made her laugh like nobody else had ever done in her life and he also made her feel very special in his own way... He really did care for her. And whether or not she liked to admit it, she did care deeply for him, had done for a while now. She just had to start to act on those feelings which had been dormant for so long...
It had been so long, years even, since she had a man in her bed. Hell, it had been even longer since she had one that would stay the entire night, and not creep out when they thought she was asleep? Something deep down told her Jane would not be that kind of guy. Now, all she had to do was reciprocate those feelings without the risk of Jane getting cold feet and running the other way. She just hoped he knew enough about her to know that she did not give away her heart easily.
Chapter 12
The shoot was well over half way through when Benedict called for a coffee break...and the cast and crew were all very grateful for any time out, there were more hormones filling that room, than present at a high school prom.
"Okay guys! Let's take a 45 and reconvene back here say, 2 o'clock"? Jane took Lisbon by the wrist and gently led her to the changing room's outback...There was no way they were going for a coffee with her semi naked!
As soon as Jane grabbed her wrist in a rather gentle but kind of firm hold, she felt flutterings she had not felt in years rise up...shaking herself hard to attempt to clear the fog in her head...this really was not the time to be going all gooey eyed, considering she was half naked, in front of Jane!
Jane was the perfect gentleman. He waited outside the cubicle while Lisbon and Grace got dressed and held out an arm for each of the girls to attach themselves to. This action brought giggles from both woman men these days hardly possessed a gentlemanly bone in their bodies, Jane smiled, one thing he had never lost, the ability to treat a woman like a lady.
Jane ordered the mocha's the girls asked for and he ordered a Breakfast Tea for himself...This is going to be good he mused and after flirting shamelessly with the server, he made his way over to table...
"Well... the shoots going quite well don't you think Grace" ? he questioned and she responded with a gentle shrug of the shoulders,
"I guess..but that Benedict can be a tad creepy Jane even you must have noticed that"?
" Duly noted ladies, but I might add, you are both more than well equipped to, shall I say, dampen his ardour, I doubt he'll try it on with either of you, when push comes to shove" Lisbon snorted into her Mocha, not a good move, it went halfway up her nose and caused her to make a gurgling sound much to Jane and Grace's amusement...the latter excused herself to use the facilities and this gave Jane the chance to approach Lisbon...
Jane reached across the table tentatively grasping Lisbon's left hand in his...
green eyes met blue and she just melted at the gentle, adoring look he gave her before Jane cleared his throat.
"Lisbon..." he began before, clearing his throat once more and trying again "Teresa..."That just rolled off his tongue, he could see himself reverting back subconsciously at the office to using her given name quite easily..."Teresa, I think you are now well aware that we have some kind of attraction to each other and I was wondering if you would, umm like to accompany me to the theatre one night this week, if you're not busy that is? there is a great little play on at the Odeon in Napa valley and I was wondering if..." he was suddenly taken off guard by Lisbon leaning over and pressing her lips against his.
She was sure if she thought about it later that evening, her answer and her response would have been quite different, something about right now, just felt so right... his eyebrows rose to meet his hairline...
Score one point to Lisbon for shutting Jane's mouth shut so effectively...she leaned back to search his face for a reaction besides the eyebrow rise and was awarded with a brilliant mega watt smile...He gently caressed her wrist and after a few moments thought, he spoke.
"Well... I didn't see that one coming Teresa"? she in turn squeezed his hand, grinning her usual lopsided smirk and then winked rather suggestively, this also had the desired effect, Jane nearly choked on his tea, so this is how she wanted to play it huh? Well two could play that game and he...was usually the master.
Grace decided she had given the two lovebirds enough room for flirting and such business and made her way back to the table, by the terracing...
"Hey guys...we have around five minutes before the letch sends out his platinum bimbo on search n Rescue " Lisbon once again attempted a snigger and ended up merely gurgling which Jane found quite endearing...he scraped back his chair and took hold of Lisbon's and started to pull it out while she got to her feet he then placed his right hand on the small of her back and she could swear her skin was tingling from his touch...boy! the man was going to be the death of her, what would he be like if and when he kissed her?
She inwardly shivered and tingled at the mere thought of it...Grace noticed this oh so subtle gesture and winked at Jane. He blushed a little and looked quite cute with a pinkish hue to his cheeks...She just hoped no one would drop a spanner in the works. These two needed each other and were so right for one another it wasn't even funny anymore...The sexual tension was at critical mass and something just had to be done...
Chapter 13:
Grace was next in line for the shoot, she seemed more at ease about it than Lisbon had been. Something told Jane she had been in this kind of environment before...He made a mental note to ask her later.
Benedict rattled shot after shot off, stopping only briefly to offer words of encouragement to Grace. The platinum bimbo looked on, obvious disdain in her eyes and Lisbon took the time to watch Jane closely, he had without a doubt had the fallen cherub scenario down to tee. With his longish curly locks, she imagined running her hands through them, fingers tracing his firm strong nose, the soft curve of his lips, the mischievous glint in his eyes whenever he got an idea always appealled to her inner pixie.
Jane could feel Lisbon's eyes trace over him, committing every detail to mind, probably for her dreams later that evening. He knew then, he had to do something to get her back for that stunt she pulled at the coffee place, but he had to be careful.
He did not want to ruin any chance he might have of loving her because if that kiss she gave him earlier was an indication, he knew she was a very passionate woman when in love...and he aimed to make sure she was just that and more.
Grace's shoot was over quickly and while she went off to get dressed and Jane approached Benedict...
"When will the pictures be ready for viewing?" Jane questioned,
"Friday should be ok, I'm not fully booked up this week, now next week I have five assignments in San Fransisco so yeah, s'long as the other ladies from the CBI come in tomorrow and Wednesday...yeah, Friday should be fine"
"Shall we say then Friday at 2? Providing of course, we have no case or if we do, I could try and wrangle time out" said Jane.
"It's a deal man" drawled Benedict "See you guys Friday".
Jane wandered over to the two agents and announced he had set up a follow up appointment and no, they need not tag along as he was quite capable of viewing the calendar pictures himself.
Lisbon and Grace knew deep down that Jane had an ulterior motive for the viewing, but decided to keep schtum about it... for now that is. Lisbon found it rather flattering in a strange way that Jane wanted a picture of her semi naked in her old SFPD hat complete with her gun holster.
Lisbon's eyes widened slightly, half naked...she would be half naked and Jane would no doubt want a private pic of her... Hmmm... she mused. Wondering what he thought about role play...the game was on she was attracted to her fallen Botticelli angel, but she sure as hell wanted some fun along the way too.
Too many years spent worrying about other people's needs and desires had left Lisbon wound up like a coil ready to spring free and Patrick Bloody Jane was the one to unwind her for sure...
Chapter 14:
The ride back to the CBI offices was a very joyous and light hearted affair...
Jane thinking he could get used to seeing his dear Teresa looking so warm and so carefree all the time.
Actually he thought... NO! He also liked the fiesty cop in her, kind of a turn on, especially when she threatened to use the cuff's on him that one time... he had to make a special trip to the rest room to sort himself out...not that he was complaining per se, but pleasuring yourself over thoughts of your boss manhandling you with state issue cuff's was somehow quite appealing...
He would have to get a rise out of her again so she could carry their little game forwards...His very astute, devious little mind started to wander at all the possibilities...
Lisbon eyes darted every now and then when her vision would allow her to safely glance over at Patrick Jane as he lounged in the front seat of the state registered SUV...He had been rather quiet since they left Benedict's studio and Lisbon knew nothing good would come out of it or would it?
She could no longer deny her feelings for Jane, had they not been brought to the forefront of her mind, than she could deny the chemistry between Van Pelt and Rigsby.
But the man was damaged goods...but then again, so was she...it just might work...all she needed was a plan, cos there was no way on earth she asking Patrick Jane out on a date just like that! No...she needed a plan...but what?
Jane suddenly shivered and Lisbon caught this out of the corner of her eye...
"You ok Jane"? Lisbon asked and it took him a moment to comprehend what she had asked before firing back a quick
"Yeah sure, why do you ask"? his left eyebrow rose quizzically...
"Because you just shivered, just checkin' you're not getting a chill"?
"Oh, I...yes I'm fine... just a passing twitch I guess"? he lied...he was so busted! he was sure Lisbon had an inkling just what he was thinking about... mind back on track Patrick he scolded himself... don't want her seeing Mr Happy standing tall and proud in her state vehicle now do we? especially not at three in the afternoon...
"Mmm okay...if you're sure"? she responded and went back to concentrating on her driving and Jane heaved a sigh of relief, that was until he caught Van Pelt's smirk and knowing gaze in the rear view mirror...oh boy she knew! what would she do with this new knowledge? share it with her boss? No, Grace was still quite wary of Lisbon to a degree...he just hoped she kept this to herself for the time being, he may need her services to get Operation Pixie under way sometime soon.
He smiled to himself which also did not go unnoticed by the two agents in the car...they both realised he was obviously plotting something, which always set warning bells off...Patrick Jane smiling to himself was never a good thing...
Soon they pulled into the CBI headquarters...after checking in Lisbon made her way to her office, Jane following before making himself comfortable on her couch...
Hands behind his head, he continued to watch her as she worked, diligently checking her emails and any notices which had come on-line while they were out.
Van Pelt was already back at her desk wondering where Rigsby and Cho had got to? She knew they hadn't caught a case as they all would have had the call, they were probably out finding a Subway open for Rigsby? yeah that was it, she mused...
Lisbon could feel Jane's eyes bore through her as she checked her messages
and without looking up she smirked and her next comment caught him off guard.
" See something you like Mr Jane"? as quick as lightening Jane was up off her couch and went striding over to her office door, without a word he clicked the lock shut, the office window blinds were roughly unfurled, Teresa timidly lifted her eyes to find him leaning over her desk, his breath fanning her face...He cleared his throat before he addressed her
" You know I do...I see something I like...very much" without any warning, he crashed his lips into her own...
Too shocked to respond at first, she allowed him to caress her lips until she could feel his tongue begging entrance, when she felt him trace the collar of her neckline with his light fingers only then did she open her mouth in a gasp which he used to his advantage and slipped his warm velvety tongue into her warm inviting depths..
She tried to bite back a groan but was unsuccessful in doing so...instead she grabbed him by the shoulders and half dragged him across her desk, manila folders and unfinished paper work flying in all directions, unseen and unheard by the occupants of the small office, too busy to care were they landed...
Teeth nipped, tongues probed gently and soft sighs were heard from both participants...They had to break apart for air and did so slowly, frightened that this was all a daydream that none of this was real and that pausing the passion would shatter the vibe...cobalt blue eyes met emerald green...slightly amused and shocked smiles graced both their features... both spoke in unison, one word...
"Wow"...
Chapter 15:
The door knob to her office door, which was rattling rather annoyingly, brought them both out of their reverie...Lisbon gave Jane a quick peck on the cheek and grinned...She walked around her desk, while shouting to the offending noise to ''Hold on a damned minute''!
On opening the door she was confronted by Hightower...Her superior gave Lisbon an amused stare and waited with baited breath to find out why the door had been locked and also why was her blinds had been closed
''I can explain ma'am '' Lisbon stammered '' I was changing my clothes as the damned coffee cup split you know how cheap those things are, you'd think Starbucks would invest in some decent cardboard...the profits they make''?
Agent Hightower held up her hand to stop her senior agent from rambling further...
''You were changing your clothes Agent Lisbon, am I correct"? Lisbon nodded sheepishly, catching Jane stood with that annoyingly smug grin on his handsome face, the smirk he always wore when he saw her rattled, rattled by something he had done " So... how did the photo shoot go''?
''Oh it went rather well thank you, we get the proofs at the end of the week and again Hightower held up her hand...
" I get the gist of it Lisbon, it's a mighty fine idea...keep up the...er good work" she muttered shooting an amused grin Patrick's way, she had not quite got to the door when she called out '' Bye Patrick...''!
This caused Lisbon's eyes to bulge and Jane snickered at her predicament.
Hightower glanced back around the door she had just exited and chuckled even more...
Y'know I was young and in love once too...''? and with that closing statement she left Lisbon's office and was heard telling Cho and Rigsby that Agent Lisbon was in the middle of taking some particulars down and should not be disturbed unless in an emergency...Jane heard all of this and leered at Lisbon...
''Taking particulars down are we huh Teresa'? she smiled and approached him again, this time his surprise was total when she grabbed him by his waistcoat and pulled him into a bruising kiss, which left him rather breathless...well it was a sure fire way of keeping him quiet while she finished up her paper work ,then they could go out for dinner...
Chapter 16:
Within half an hour Lisbon had put her name to all her documents and all paperwork was present and correct. They had decided on a nice Italian place a few blocks from Jane's apartment complex, and they were driving back to Lisbon's so she could change.
Jane already had kept a few suits back at the CBI but tonight he decided to forgo his waistcoat and jacket and just go with a sky blue dress shirt and stone coloured chinos...Lisbon wolf whistled and made him grin bashfully when she saw him, he even had his hair slicked back following a hurried shower, he smelled gorgeous, musky and very masculine! Oh god, she thought to herself I'm sounding like a aftershave commercial!
Lisbon had forgone the idea of wearing a low cut dress, much to Jane's dismay, as he had seen quite enough of her up to now and she wanted to tease him a while longer...He held out his arm to signal the cab they had been waiting for had approached the kerb side...she smiled and took his proffered arm and was led to the steps leading down from her townhouse...
Jane was quite nervous but he was determined not to give too much away...
He was quite smitten with Teresa and didn't want her to think he was just using her, hating the idea that she might consider he was using her to get back on the horse, so to speak, she was safe...comforting...No, he couldn't even if he tried to.
She was different from many women he had encountered during his life...
she was so different from his deceased wife, Angela...They rode in silence, both wondering what tonight would bring..
The restaurant they had picked was a short distance away from Jane's apartment and therefore Jane had frequented the place regularly...the manager smiled at him in greeting and showed them to a secluded table in the back far corner near a bunch of potted palms ...
''I hope you don't mind Teresa, but I wanted a private conversation with you and you only tonight, I didn't want any interruptions'' she smiled, knowing exactly what he was referring to,when Jane was a TV psychic he used to come here with potential clientele...
For starters they had minestrone soup followed by ham and mushroom tagliatelle...dessert was passed over as both greedily consumed their red wine, not knowing if they were merely thirsty or incredibly nervous...or both?
Both found small talk and chit chat easier than expected out of the office where banter had almost become second nature and Lisbon was stunned to see that when Jane grabbed her hand across the table, the faint white mark on his wedding finger was now blatantly obvious...he'd removed his wedding ring, the significance of this was not lost on her. Lisbon looked up into his azure eyes and asked a silent question with her own... Why? He smiled and took a deep breath and started to talk...
'' I know I run the risk of scaring you off Teresa, but rest assured this has not been an easy task for me...My feelings for you run deep, very deep in fact and I could not go on with the reminder of what I had and compare it to what I want to have with you does that make any sense"? she sat and stared for moment..
''Yes it does Patrick''...
''I guess I'm not very good with my feelings but know this...'',
''I care deeply about you too probably more than I had planned to and I hope that there is no going back now...''? Those last few words were hardly out of her mouth before Patrick leaned forward and captured her lips with his in a soul searching kiss...she moaned into his mouth and when his teeth nipped her lower lip it nearly undid her, she pulled away rather reluctantly and rather breathlessly
''Cheque... now, Patrick... call a cab, we need to get outta here..." she declared with a passion she'd not known before, no sooner had the words left her mouth the server came with the bill and Jane paid with an extra tip for their waiter who had been very discreet all evening...
Rushing outside like two teenagers trying to dodge angry parents, rushing towards the cab that had pulled up to the kerb the second they had alighted the restaurant, before either had chance to change their minds. Once inside the cab , they told the driver to Just drive please! and Jane gave him her address quickly before Lisbon tried to undress him in the cab...
Keys fumbled in a lock, giggles were heard, the frantic rustling of clothing in the porch way of the front door...''Aha..."! was exclaimed rather triumphantly as Lisbon turned the key in the lock successfully whilst Jane's hands freely roamed and caressed her body...before his head dipped and he suckled her neck moaning hotly...
''God... Teresa...I need you''! they stumbled into the hallway giggling and moaning together, but quite sober after only a bottle of red between them but both still quite sure of that was about to unfold..two words spilled from Lisbon's lips there and then...
''Bedroom, NOW''!
Chapter 17:
Moan's, groans and sighs could be heard echoing around the apartment wall's,
only the shadow's of the night could see and hear such sweet talk, could only be privvy to the sweet sounds that erupted from both the active participants...
If only walls talk...
Lip's caressed sensually, driven by the sheer desire to see his little pixie come undone before his very eyes. Jane had every intention of savouring such a moment to have it burned forever into his memory...After all it had been a long time since he had slept with a woman, his late wife Angela being his last sexual partner. Oh he had, had plenty of offers from clients but Marriage was important to him...but marriage...with Lisbon? Maybe he'd found someone he loved and trusted enough to take that huge leap with once more?
Goosebumps appeared on her flesh as she felt his hand nearing her breast. Stooping he leaned in and caught her lips, an electrifying shockwave reached her toes. Before she knew it her arms were around his neck and her tongue was in his mouth, a groan sounded in his throat at the motion...
"If I knew that you were this aggressive I would have tackled you long time ago" he panted, his hand teasing her exposed flesh, her fingers clapsed behind his head pulling him back.
She moaned into his mouth when his fingers began to slide her top up, shivers went up her spine when he trailed kisses down her neck, her fingers entangled themselves in his curls,giving them a gentle tug. She felt his growing erection press against her thigh as he melded into her before Jane pulled back and looked at her with a lustful gaze.
Her hands caught hold of his shirt, she was grateful that he only had on a shirt and trousers, she couldn't have stood fiddling with the buttons on his vest. Impatiently pushing the garment down she tipped on her toes and kissed him, slow but yet demanding. She used her teeth to nibble at his bottom lip, her hands travelling down his chest to his pert nipples.
She smiled when they hardened under her touch before roaming lower she teased the growing bulge around his fly. A groan resonated in his throat as she traced her finger around the stretched material. He sucked in his stomach when she unbuttoned his pants.
Pushing them down, she tugged them from his ankles, tossing the garments away as she admired his impressive length. She encircled the tip with her thumb feeling it twitch beneath her finger and bit her lip as she felt the burn pool between her legs.
The need was becoming stronger with each passing moment... and as if Patrick had read her mind, he yanked her blouse over her head and quickly removed her teal green bra. Fumbling with the zipper of her of her dress pants, he pulled them down.
She had already kicked her shoes off the moment she entered the room, he was determined to have her stripped of her clothing in less than a minute. The last piece to go was her satin French knickers.
Before she knew it she was being eased on to the large, over sized oak sleigh bed, but she didn't mind his haste it just meant being closer to him...Patrick towered over her, his breath coming out in pants... He dipped lower and kissed her. His tongue pushed past her teeth and teased her and she wasted no time in responding.
Her hands explored the curve of his smooth back and over his toned ass. She moaned aloud as he gently bit into her flesh on her neck, running his tongue over the spot making her whimper. He was driving her insane by resisting her need for release. Fondling one of her breasts he encircled her nipple with his fore finger, her back arched clean off the bed, She needed him so bad. Digging her nails in to his smooth flesh she clamped him down against her waiting frame and whispered in his ear.
"I need you..." she shifted "Now"! her final words more of a demand than a statement of fact.
Patrick reached down between their bodies and stroked her heat, slowly he eased two digits inside, amazed when she took every inch. He held his position, his eyes locked with hers as they came together devouring her lips as he began to thrust
.
"Feels...good huh..."? he murmured knowing that she was hardly gonna say no and Teresa's head fell back
"Ohhhhh so good"! Patrick smiled before increasing his pace, finding his rhythm, he heard the bed straining against the wooden floor such was their ardour. His carnal senses were heightened as Teresa's moans and groans filled his ears. His sole goal was very distinct, reaching awaited ecstasy. Picking up the pace he watched as he drove the woman under him insane, her grip on his shoulders tightened as she neared her pinnacle "Harder..."! she begged her head rolling back as her body reared up and obeying the command he pushed with added vigour, sweat glistening on his body as they moved together.
She came with thundering in her ears, and whilst she was coming down from her high she felt him settle himself between her legs, ready...
"Hey"! he said brushing a few damp strands from her head,
"Mmmmmhmmmm..." she replied with lazy satisfaction as Patrick swooped down and kissed her swollen crimson lips, pulling back he ran his forefinger down her face.
"Beautiful..." he praised.
"Most guys say that after sex...'' Teresa replied
"You're right but few guys mean it" he corrected, causing her to smile coyly and roll her eyes as though she still couldn't quite believe where she was, who she was with...and what they were doing? Silence pervaded momentarily ''You ready''? Patrick questioned and she nodded her approval glorying in the sight of him sliding inside inch by inch, her warm wet velvety walls clamping down on his hard length..He bit back a groan.
There was no better word to describe it...exquisite...she fitted him like a glove...
It had been over seven years since he last slept with a woman but despite the grief... What was the saying? Like riding a bike? You never forget.
Teresa was in heaven, his rather thick muscly penis penetrated her walls slowly stretching her to completion. Who would have ever guessed what Patrick Jane hid behind those finely tailored trousers he wore?
To say she was surprised at how well endowed he was, was an understatement...
she loved his downy sandy coloured hair and the small spattering of freckles across his shoulders...
He moved with ease, like that of a well informed lover, making sure she was his highest priority...He began to slow his movements ...and then threw her completely with a question,
''Baby...would you like to go on top''? he asked her breathlessly and she nodded feeling shy and slightly inexperienced as he slowly withdrew and rocked back onto his heels...He began to admire the view before him...they shifted places and he lay down looking up at her like a teenage boy who had just got very lucky.
She positioned her thighs either side of his and leaned over him, her pert perfect sized 38C cups blocked his view nicely...she slowly began to lower herself down onto his straining shaft, savouring the feel of him as he stretched her velvety walls once more before slowly rocking forward...
