On Our Way
"Thank god you're home!! I thought I was going to have to go without you!!!" Jodi exclaimed as she bombarded John at the front door. He stood there unable to really do anything, seeing as to how she had basically ambushed him as soon as he walked in. At first he was glad, thinking he had found the only woman on earth who kept her sanity when wedding plans came around, but now he was sure he was mistaken.
"Okay well...can I at least sit down and have a beer first?" he asked tentatively.
"John, our appointment is in half an hour and it's probably going to take 45 minutes to get there. We need to go now!" John sighed before backing out the front door and walking back to his car.
"I promise I'll pay you back." Jodi grinned as she grabbed his hand.
"Yeah, how is that?" he asked irritably. He already had to spend the day with Cragen up his ass, now he had to come home and have Jodi there as well.
"You'll see, but I promise it'll be good." she smirked before walking to the passenger seat and opening the door. John let the thought roll off his mind. He had better things to worry about.

"So, to start things off....have you picked a venue for your wedding?"
"Well, the actual wedding itself not yet but the reception will be held at The Foundry." Jodi crossed her legs as she leaned forward and became completely absorbed in her conversation with a member of the Thomas Preti Catering staff.
"The Foundry? Absolutely wonderful. We've worked with them on numerous occasions too. So, for the menu. Would you like to do a custom one or maybe go with one fitting the theme?"
"That depends, what have you go for me?"
John sat back in his seat, feeling like a little boy brought along as his mother shopped. This was not going to be what he thought it was.
"You're doing a Parisian winter theme right?"
"Yes."
"Well, here are some ideas for you. You might want to go with one of our spring menus, since your wedding will technically be in the spring. For the first course we can start you off with a lobster cappuccino with Hudson Valley feta cheese and vidalia onion tart..."
John glanced at Jodi sideways. Lobster Cappucino? What the hell was all this stuff? As Jodi and the woman went back and forth it sounded as though they were talking in some foreign language. Couldn't they just have superbowl snacks or something?
"Hm....well can we do a bit more of a custom one then?"
"Of course. Let's start with a first course trio. What were you thinking?"
"Anything in particular you'd like sweetie?" Jodi asked, placing her hand on his thigh. He was jerked from his thoughts of being somewhere else and he looked over at her.
"Huh?"
"The reception menu. Is there anything in particular you would like?"
"Oh....I dunno. Not that I can think of on the spot." he lied. The fact was, he spent so many times on the job lying on the spot when trying to either get a perp to break or when he was undercover.
Jodi's jaw clenched before she gave him a stiff smile and patted him on the leg.
"Well, I can take you down the the kitchen and let you have a taste of what they're doing right now. Maybe you'll find something down there that you like." the caterer smiled.
"My god in heaven that's amazing! What is that?!" Jodi exclaimed as she swallowed a bite of something that had her tastebuds about ready to explode.
"Barbecue shrimp sauteed in vinegar and honey with fresh cilantro."
"Wow, that's incredible. Honey you have to taste this!" Jodi said before turning around and holding a fork up to his mouth. He stared at her for a moment before begrudgingly taking a bite. The moment the food hit his tongue, coupled with the look on Jodi's face as she held the fork automatically lifted his mood from cranky to anticipating what would happen later that night.
"Would you like to add that then?" Rhonda asked. It was only then that John discovered she had a name.
"Yes."
"Okay let's move to the next thing then shall we?"
As they followed Rhonda John's hand slipped around Jodi's waist before he kissed her on the cheek. She looked up at him and smiled before continuing on. John's sour mood quickly changed as they fed each other samples and the reminder that they were soon to be married struck him again. As they left the kitchens and followed Rhonda up the stairs to her office.
As the ascended the staircase, Rhonda's cell phone rang.
"I have to take this." she mouthed before walking off. As soon as she exited their sight John pushed Jodi up against a wall before kissing her heatedly.
"Woah." she breathed as the room spun. She battled dizziness for a moment before catching her balance.
"You okay?" John chuckled, mistaking her fatigue for lightheadedness from the kiss.
"Yeah. Would you mind doing that again?" Jodi asked, grinning hoping it would make up for her spell.
John smiled before pressing his lips to hers once again. He gently ran his hand up her thigh, feeling her soft skin under the flimsy dress she had decided to wear given the near-warm temperatures.
"You know, we really need to get home soon." he breathed in her ear. Just as his hand ran over one of her large breasts, she smirked coyly before traipsing up the remaining stairs and opening the door. These wedding plans were turning out better than he thought they would.

"Well, you two are lucky I'll tell you that. You've barely made the one month deadline. You have any idea what kind of cake you want?" the consultant asked as she sat down in front of them.
John bounced his knee jitterishly. All he could think about was all the things he wanted to do to her when he got home.
"Um, yes. I was thinking a red velvet."
"Wise choice. What type of filling would you like?"
"Cream cheese. Actually, can we vary with the tiers?"
"Absolutely. How many were you thinking?"
"About four, and then a two-tier on the left, and a regular on the right."
"Okay. What would you like to do with them?"
"I was thinking. Could we maybe have the center one a red velvet with the cream cheese, then the left would be a vanilla and the right an Italian sponge."
"You have incredibly good taste I might add. So the vanilla, what kind of filling would you like?"
"Whipped cream."
"And the Italian sponge?"
"Chocolate buttercream."
"Would you like separate icings for those?"
"No, I want a vanilla buttercream for all of those."
"Okay. You know I must say, you're one of the easiest customers I've ever had."
"Well, I know what I want."
"So are you sure about these cakes?"
"Yes, but could I taste them first?"
"Naturally. Here. I had the prepared just before you arrived." she handed them a tray of petite-fours. Jodi took one before biting into it delicately. John's eyes immediately flew to her soft lips, which curved around it unintentionally seductively.
"Mmm. Baby taste this." she said before turning to John and licking icing off her lips. John jerked his eyes away from her mouth before leaning forward and taking a bite from the miniature cake she held out.
"Good." he muttered before shifting uncomfortably. He could feel his pants getting tighter and this wasn't the time nor place for him to get turned on.
"Well, if the same people made all of these I have to highest confidence that they'll be incredible." Jodi smiled.
"Well thankyou. So, we'll get started on these. We need a deposit right now, is that an issue?"
"No it's not.
"Good. Well, I look forward to working with you two."
******************
The minute they walked into their home, John backed Jodi up against the door the same way she had done to him the first time they had sex and kissed her.
"You have no idea how crazy you've been driving me?" John muttered.
"Why don't you tell me everything in detail?" Jodi raised an eyebrow, biting her lip.
He grinned before grabbing her hand and halfway dragging her up the stairs into the bedroom. They both fell down in a heap before he grabbed the thin dress and lifted over her incredible body that was his playground.
Jodi closed her eyes as John pressed his lips to her chest, moving them down to her sternum. She gasped as he pressed them to the still slightly sore skin of her new tattoo, and moved downward. He grabbed the straps of her thong and pulled them down. Just as he was about to press his lips to her sensitive area, he pulled them away, teasing her.
"John!" she whined. He laughed before moving up to meet her lips again before grabbing the clasp of her bra and unhooking it.
The soft material fell to the ground with a soft clatter before John grabbed one of her large breasts and gently ran his tongue over one of her nipples. He could have sworn that they were getting bigger.
Jodi moaned softly before grasping a handful of his hair. Jodi bit her lip as he moved moved to give attention to the other breast. They had been so busy the past few days that there was hardly time for sex period.
"You know what I'm going to do to you?" he growled in her ear, feeling her body blossom with warmth.
"Tell me..." Jodi groaned into his ear.
"Well, to start things off I'm gonna do this." John said before slapping his hand onto her smooth mound and rubbing her. Her body twitched and she threw back her head, her fiery hair coming down from its updo and cascading down to the bed beneath them.
He continued to whisper things in ear ear, his filthiest and most deeply buried thoughts coming out. He delighted as he felt her body shake and twitch underneath him, so turned on that she was about ready to explode. His lips traveled the length of her jawline before moving to her neck, his teeth sinking delicately into the incredibly soft skin.
He quickly undid his tie before pulling his shirt off and going for his belt buckle. As he did, a thought struck him. With all the disguises she had worn when she was in L.A., one in particular seemed to have the intent of seduction. So did she sleep with someone else when she was there?
"You alright?" she asked, noticing the look on his face.
He hesitated for a moment before crawling off of her and sitting up on the bed next to her. She sat up next to him before rubbing his chest deftly.
"When you were gone in L.A.....were you....with anyone else?" he asked, unsure of how to correctly word it.
"Waht? Do you mean...did I sleep with anyone?"
He nodded.
There was a tense silence for a moment before she held out her left hand.
"I haven't taken this ring off since you gave it to me. I won't lie to you I kissed a few guys for the sake of trying to get information, but other than that...absolutely nothing."
John nodded. As he thought it over, he found himself calming down. It was just a kiss. Ever since she had gotten back, she had actually been pleading with him to stay with her. Would she really do that if it were something more? No. Probably not.
"I'm sorry it just...came to mind." John explained.
"Yeah it's alright just....John, I really want you to trust me."
"I do trust you!"
"Do you?" she raised an eyebrow. He had to come to the realization that Elliot had kind of damaged things between him. As much as he loved her and wanted to, he couldn't deny it was kind of hard to. He thought it was behind them, but this told him differently.
"I'm sorry it's just-"
"I know." she cut him off, her face falling. She smiled weakly before fighting back the tears that pricked her eyes. It was in fact her fault. Alcohol couldn't have been the blame that night. It was her poor judgment combined with the jealously of seeing the man she loved being kissed by someone else.
"Come here." he muttered, seeing her sad face. He pulled her into his arms before leaning back and simply kissing her. This was better than anything else could have been.
*******************
"Munch, you alright?" Olivia asked as he walked into the squadroom. The expression on his face couldn't even be explained, but she knew something was up.
"Yeah." he muttered before pulling off his coat and throwing it over his chair and falling down.
"Olivia and John, I need you!" Cragen yelled from his office. Olivia jumped up, John following slowly before walking back to the captain's office.
"What's up captain?" Olivia asked, closing the door behind her.
"The usual, someone lost their balance on the subway and decided to grab a little more than the woman next to him's arm. Only problem is that we've just received about a dozen other calls from women claiming that they've been felt up by the same guy. Now Elliot's taking a few personal days and Fin is out on another case so I need you two to head down the station."
"All right." Olivia smiled before leaving the room. John stayed behind to talk to Cragen for a few moments before following her.
Twenty minutes later they were driving down the crowded streets, weaving in and out of traffic when Olivia turned to him.
"So...is it something with Jodi?" she asked, still on the subject of what was irking him.
He sighed before replying.
"Just...ever since we got back together we agreed to put the little incident in which she fucked Elliot behind us, but now I'm finding it hard to trust her."
Olivia nodded before swerving sharply.
"Damn it!" she grunted before turning back to John. "Did something happen to bring the situation up again?" she asked.
"Well....we were about to have sex the last night and-"
"-Too much info." Olivia cut him off.
"I just wondered...if she slept with anyone when she pulled that stint back in L.A."
"Well what made you think that?"
"One of the dresses she wore."
"Hm. Well, did she tell you she slept with someone else?"
"No, I asked her and she told me she didn't but-"
"But what John? If she was cheating on you, I highly doubt she would be calling here all the time trying to pull you out of work early for wedding plans."
"Yeah I guess."
John walked into the kitchen for his after-work routine beer to find Jodi absolutely drenched in sweat and downing an entire bottle of water in front of the refrigerator.
"Jesus...." he trailed off, unable to stop himself. She wore a pair of short shorts that barely-no didn't clear her ass and an exercise bra. The roots of her hair were matted to her forehead and the rest was pulled back. He stared at her gloriously sweaty body, unable to take his eyes off her.
"Hello?" Jodi waved at him.
"Hi." he murmured, his eyes still on her breasts. Sweat dripped from her neck and rolled down her chest, making it shine brilliantly.
"...See anything you like speak up." Jodi winked before walking past him. He watched her retreating ass before grabbing her waist and dragging her back.
Before she could say anything he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her. He felt her slippery skin and leaned back against the island bar.
"Head upstairs?" Jodi asked breathlessly as his lips traveled to her clavicle.
"Right here." he mumbled before grabbing the elastic bottom of the bra and lifting it up over her head. He immediately buried his face between her massive breasts, feeling as though he was out of his body and in heaven.
Jodi closed her eyes as she felt his hands travel down her body. She loved his hands. They were rough, but they spoke for his job. She had grown quite accustomed to them, and absolutely loved having them touch her.
He grabbed her shorts and underwear before tugging them down over her curvy hips and slim thighs.
He grabbed her body before swinging her around and leaning her over the counter. He looked down at her body from his new angle, feeling his member throb in his pants. He quickly unzipped them before swiftly guiding himself into her. She grunted as he slid into her before putting his hands on her waist and pounding away. She whined loudly as he moved in and out of her.
She rocked forward with each thrust, grabbing the counter in pleasure. John closed his eyes, groaning loudly. All he could feel was the warmth that enveloped him as he felt her throbbing walls around him.
As he continued to hammer her, he dug his nails into her ass before raising a hand and smacking it. Jodi yelled out loudly.
"Do it again." she moaned.
John grinned before raising his hand and repeating his previous movement. She pleaded for more, biting her lip as she suppressed a scream.
"Harder!" she yelled, gasping as she neared her climax. Her body became absolutely drenched, which only drove John harder as he felt her wet skin.
John grabbed a handful of her hair before yanking it back roughly. For a moment he feared that he had broken her neck, but she merely screamed through her teeth in pleasure.
She tensed around him, moments later, gripping the granite countertop fiercely. The moment she did John joined her, shuddering and twitching inside of her as he came. They both stayed there for a few moments, resting with their rubbery muscles before he picked her up and cradled her in his arms, carrying her upstairs. On their way to the married life.
