Chapter 25 – Moving

After a little while they decided to go to bed. Jane finished cleaning his teeth, Lisbon beside him already changed into a nightshirt cleaning hers. He kissed her lightly on the shoulder and said to her, walking into the bedroom, 'I told you I wasn't going to be the easiest relationship you ever had.'

He undressed to his boxers and got into bed, sighing heavily. Lisbon slipped under the covers beside him, his arm already outstretched so she could place her head on his shoulder. 'Well, if you recall I tried an easy relationship for a while there but it didn't work out for me for some unknown reason,' her lips turning into a smile.

Jane glanced down at her, her patience with him still a mystery. He kissed her gently, then harder as he briefly recalled earlier the notion of choosing a life without her, the intensity of his emotions spilling into passion, making him want her now more than he had ever felt for anyone in his life. She kissed him back, deeper still, digging her nails into his back. She pulled him on top of her, craving his actions now to back up his earlier words along with her own need to release the pent up anger and frustration she had felt earlier. He pulled at her nightshirt, pulling down a corner again so he could kiss her neck and then bit her shoulder as their passion turned into a primal lust neither had experienced before.

They carried on like this, tossing in the bed, grasping at each other, unable to quench their need for each other's bodies. Jane reached down, pulling her panties off before moving his fingers closer to satisfy her. However, instead she pulled them away roughly, clawing at his boxers and moving herself closer into him, whispering urgently 'Now, quickly, Patrick.' At the sound of his first name being spoken in such a provocative manner, Jane discarded his underwear swiftly and entered her roughly, both of them gasping in relief. He began to move gently but Lisbon had other thoughts, pushing her hips into him deeply, scratching his back again as she pulled him towards her. Jane reciprocated, moving his hands to her buttocks and pulling her closer still, their tongues entwined whilst thrusting harder and harder as she wrapped her legs around him, both of them moaning louder with pleasure with every motion as they rocked in harmony. He looked at her on the verge of release and whispered to her, 'I want to see it in your eyes, Teresa, open them for me.' He slowed down as she opened her eyes, her passion for him making her eyes appear a dark emerald green. He held eye contact with her and moved gently, bringing himself to the verge of release himself before making a final push that made them both collapse shaking onto the bed.

Lisbon woke up and moved her hand to the other side of the bed, expecting to find Jane's chest there. Instead she found it empty and panicked for a moment, wondering briefly if the passion they had shared the night before had revealed too much of himself to her and if it had made him pull back from her in the light of day. Then she heard a clattering in the kitchen accompanied by a happy humming sound and grinned, getting out of bed.

'Hey there, you do realise it's just gone six? What on earth are you doing up at this time?' she asked, finding him sitting at the table eating eggs and drinking a cup of tea.

'Hey there' he grinned. 'Well I woke up and was starving, we didn't have anything after lunch yesterday and, well, we worked up quite an appetite during the night.' He kept grinning as she looked away blushing, going over to the coffee he had brewed for her.

'No point in getting shy now, Lisbon' he teased.

She turned round smiling and replied brazenly, 'Who says I am? I wasn't the only one who was a little out of control last night.'

He smiled, a little awkward himself now, got up and walked over to her. The corner of her nightshirt had fallen down, revealing a bare shoulder, a tiny welt visible on it. He touched it lightly and said softly, 'This ok?'

She smiled in return. 'I think I've had to deal with a few worse things in my life than a lovebite. Besides, I think I scratched your back up pretty good so I'd say we were more than even.'

He smiled back, placing his arms around her waist. 'Well, sometimes it's worth going through some pain to get to the pleasure, isn't it?', he said, kissing her tenderly.

He caught something in her eyes and he added, 'Did you think that I'd left, when you woke up this morning?'

She nodded. 'For a second, maybe.'

He held up her face, looked her in the eyes and replied, 'Okay, just so we're clear, I promise I will never leave you again, Teresa, you're well and truly stuck with me.'

'Okay, good.'

'Eggs?' he asked, turning round quickly and breaking some into a bowl without waiting for a response.

'Sure' she replied, sitting down to drink her coffee.

He said with his back to her, adding salt and pepper to the bowl and beginning to whisk, 'In fact, I've decided to move in here.'

She almost spat a sip of coffee out. 'Sorry, what did you say?'

He threw the contents of the bowl into a frying pan and said again, 'I've decided to move in. I mean, I can't imagine a morning where I don't wake up beside you and I know you feel the same way about me so what's the point in waiting?'

He turned round to find an awestruck Teresa Lisbon looking back at him.

'Jane, you can't just decide something like that without so much as a discussion and besides we haven't even been together for a week yet' she countered.

'Well, we're discussing it now, aren't we? And we've been together for years, just not in this way and even if you count just that it's been almost a month. If you remember that was almost enough time for you to decide to move to move to another state with a different man.'

'Two weeks of that month I was in D.C. so it hardly counts. And I was with Marcus for a few months, not just one.'

'Meh, details, woman. You know in your heart you want this too so why are you putting on this charade that you don't?' He dished out the eggs to her and sat opposite her, taking a sip of his tea calmly.

'I'm not saying I don't. I just think we should take some more time to think about it.'

Jane nodded, putting his fingers to his lips as if he was thinking over her response. After a moment he replied, 'You're right of course, no problem, take as much time as you need.'

Lisbon studied his face for a moment. 'You're just going to ignore me aren't you, just move your stuff in anyway?'

Jane grinned and shrugged. 'Well, you're not exactly a clotheshorse so there's plenty of room in the closet for my suits and the only other thing I need is a drawer, there's plenty of room there too.'

Lisbon looked back at him open mouthed, however, the corners of her mouth began to turn into a smile.

Jane realised he had won so pressed forward. 'Look, I'll keep the Airstream for cases and for those rare nights where I might annoy you and you need some peace and quiet, how about that?'

Lisbon tried to think sensibly. 'There are practical matters too, like bills and that sort of thing.'

Jane rolled his eyes. 'You're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for reasons we shouldn't do this now, Lisbon. Just tell me what I owe you each month and I'll deposit the money into your account. Or, we could set up a joint account for such matters, if you prefer.'

Lisbon sat and took a sip of coffee, looking at him, unable to think of a response.

'Good. Glad that's settled', he added, getting up from the table and looked out the window, grinning.

'I'd like to go shopping for a few things to put around the place, maybe some plants and some more cushions for the couch. And we definitely need some new cookware and bedding', Jane said as they drove to work as he embraced the idea of living in a house again with someone.

Lisbon turned her head to look at him briefly before turning her eyes back to the road. 'Well, before you start remodelling my home do you mind if we try to close this case first?'

Jane shrugged. 'Oh hush woman, I'm excited and I thought we decided it was our home now.'

Lisbon smiled back but became more serious as they entered the parking garage of the FBI building. Before they got out of the car Lisbon touched his arm. 'You know today might be hell for you, are you sure about wanting to see this through? No one would blame you if you wanted to sit out of this one.'

Jane replied breezily, 'Ah, I'm fine. The sooner we get it closed, the sooner we go shopping', beginning to exit the car.

Lisbon stopped him again. 'Patrick, I'm serious. I know you meant what you said last night but I'm still worried about what you might hear today.'

He held her hand and her gaze. 'Okay Teresa, if I think I'm going to lose it in there I'll let you know, I promise.'

She nodded and kissed him gently.
