Flight home was more relaxed than the flight there. Jane´s hand wasn´t squeezed that much and Lisbon was admiring the view flight offered rather than being stressed about it. They talked about work, how to resolve the new situation that occurred. They both agreed that is simplest solution is the best one, so they´ll tell no one. At least for some time. So, much to Jane disapproval, Lisbon insisted on no longing looks, or holding hands and definitely no kissing in the office. Hard as it may be, they need to keep up appearances.
Jane felt better and returning back to work didn´t scare him as much as before. The main reason was seated next to him. Lisbon would be there for him if anything messes him up. And he will be there for her. They got each other, and together he felt that they can face anything.
The flight back also seemed to go faster. Soon they were in Sacramento, getting a cab that would take them to Lisbon´s place. Jane looked forward to it. Even though the trip turned to be quite life altering in a good way he liked it here.
And when Lisbon said those three words to him he nearly jumped with joy.
„Let´s go home."
She didn´t even realized what she said to him. Let´s go home. For a normal person living a normal life it wouldn´t mean that much, just that the trip ended. Since they both are far from normal and their lives are, well, quite different, it meant everything to him.
„Yes, let´s."
She smiled at him, that little joyful smile she gave on rare occasions and sat in the cab. He followed her and they went home.
He was cooking, again. Lisbon wanted to order take-out but he insisted on cooking. Saying to her that all those groceries they bought would go bad and he needs to do something about it. That was true indeed. She wasn´t used to thrown out food, a habit she got during her childhood. Maybe Jane got the same. So he cooked. She watched and helped if he needed it. Yes, and she made him tea the way he likes it. And much to his surprise she made herself one cup too.
„Lisbon, what am I seeing? You, drinking tea?"
„Wanted to try it out, see what you like about it so much."
„And what did you find out?"
She sipped the tea, admiring the taste. It was surprisingly good, but not as good as coffee for sure.
„It´s okay, but I´ll stick to coffee."
„Ah, give it some time my dear, and we will see."
The food was ready in a record time and Lisbon had to admire his skills. They sat down to table smiling shyly, basking at the presence of each other. Even though this setting was new to them, this domestic atmosphere of dinning together, sipping tea she made for them, it felt surprisingly right.
Lisbon was afraid for a moment, she lived alone for such a long time and so did Jane. Maybe they were moving too fast, but if they truly were, there was no sign of any discomfort. It was the exact opposite actually.
After the dinner they cleaned everything up together. They had to go back to work the next day. Hightower already called her about that. She told her that they will be there and she was really looking forward to it. Plus, Jane will have some mental stimulation he enjoys so much. It will be hard for sure because of this new situation, but they´ll make it work.
She suppressed a yawn while watching TV and Jane smiled at her.
„Somebody needs to go to bed, hm?"
„I´m fine right here," she said not wanting to get up from the cozy and comfortable couch.
„Want me to carry you?" he said grinning.
„Yeah right, you could try it."
„You are underestimating me, woman. I already carried you to bed, you just don´t remember it."
„Oh hush," she said blushing, „I was wasted. And I bet you didn´t carry me up those stairs."
Another yawn escaped her mouth which made Jane chuckle. He wasn´t tired at all, it was too soon for him to go to sleep anyway. But since they had to go to work the next day, the best thing he could do is to tuck her in the bed so she wont hate him in the morning for waking her up.
Without a warning he picked her up, making her scream in surprise. He carried he up the stairs while she laughed and begged him to put her down, but he did no such thing. Not until they were at her bedroom.
„Okay, put me down, now!"
„Hmm, maybe I could take you for a tour in you own house just to demonstrate my strength."
She laughed out.
„No, no need, I believe you. You are a strong man Patrick Jane."
They both laughed and he put her down.
„Thank you. Want to use the bathroom first?"
„No, you go first, I´ll wait. Just don´t use all the of water." He shouted after her jokingly.
Heading into the bathroom she rolled her eyes at him.
Jane changed into his sleeping gear and lied down on bed letting his mind wander. Finally after all those years his life has taken a turn he enjoys. It will be hard to get used to it. That´s for sure. Hard to accept that he might deserve a woman that is Teresa Lisbon. He would never take her for granted. Never ever he would make the same mistake.
After a while she stepped out of the bathroom with the the fruity smell of her shampoo.
„Permission to use the shower?"
„Granted."
Jane grinned at her and hurried in. She would probably fall asleep before he returns.

Shower woke her up, she wasn´t so tired anymore. She could hear the water running, her mind filled with the picture of Jane standing there, naked and wet. With a smile she made a choice.
Jane didn´t hear her enter the bathroom thanks to the pouring water. She undressed herself in bedroom walking fully naked now. When Jane finally spied her, she was standing close to him, smiling. She could see the surprise in his eyes.
„Lisbon...?"
„I am not so tired anymore," she said stepping under the hot water. Jane inhaled a sharp breath, trying to calm himself down. It was pointless indeed. She stood behind him and let her hands trail over his body. First inside his curls, down his neck, kissing him from behind, then his chest and when she went southern he gasped.
„Enjoy it." she whispered into his ear from behind.
There was no answer to that, not that he was capable of answering anyway. He stood still, leaning slightly against her while she played with him.
It took her only few minutes until she drove him to the edge. He grasped her small hand to make her stop, breathing wildly. That made her chuckle.
„You are very evil woman, Teresa Lisbon. Very bad and evil."
„Am I?"
He turned to her pinning her to the wall. The water was still running over their naked bodies, small droplets of water tingling their senses.
„Oh, yes indeed."
She gave him a sly smile pinching his hardened nipple.
„And what you gonna do about it?"
That was it. He couldn´t take it any longer. He lifted her up and she entangled her feet around his waist. He entered her and groaned, she was so tight.
„Oh God, Teresa..."
She answered him by kissing his neck, holding him tight and just enjoying the feeling of him being inside her, savoring the connection she needed for so long. He took his time, played with her as she played with him first.
„I love you so much," he whispered to her, and he continued to whisper sweet nothings into her ear while she moaned and gasped every time he entered her.
Lisbon never experienced anything like this before. She might have hooked up with a few strangers in the past, strangers with the similar cop background, when they did what needed to be done. And after it she was glad to show them the door. It was just physical. No commitment or attachment.
This was different. It was intense. Incredible. Jane knew exactly what to do to her, reading her like a book, addressing her every need and she tried to do the same. They just clicked. Jane drove her mad, she couldn´t take it any longer.
„I love you too Patrick."
She felt his whole body tense while her body did the same. They came together and she cried out in ecstasy.
They wasted all of the hot water in the end.

Not bothering to dress up at all, they lied down to bed, snuggling under covers. Lisbon caressed his hair, she found out some time ago that it helped him to fall asleep. She watched him as his face expression changed to this calm and peaceful look she loved so much. It took her long time before his calm and deep breathing lulled her to sleep.
She was awaken by a strange sound, a sound that came from next to her. It took her some time before she realized that it is Jane whimpering.
She snuggled him closer, whispering to him in a calm voice, caressing his hair again and soon he stopped. She held his hand and kept watch over him. He seemed to calm down eventually and she kissed his forehead.
„Sleep Jane, I am here."
He mumbled something she couldn´t understand.
She felt glad that he calmed down so easily, glad that this nightmare, if it was a nightmare didn´t woke him up and left him sleepless for the rest of the night. With a smile she closed her eyes and let the sleep fall over her.
The morning came too quickly. Jane was already up watching Lisbon sleep. She had her hand curled under her head and she looked so adorable that Jane thought about turning the alarm off. Sure Hightower would understand that they are late for work. But Lisbon sure wouldn´t. She took her work seriously and he saw yesterday how eager she was to go back. So when the alarm was supposed to go off, he kissed her in an attempt to wake her up.
„Hmpfh?" she mumbled.
„Rise and shine my dear, it´s time to get up."
„Fivemoreminuts Jane..."
„I would gladly give you five more hours of sleep, but we´ll be late for work. And as you remember you need to drive me to my place first so I can get my car."
„Ugh, fine." she sat up, rubbing her eyes and yawning.
„You get ready and I´ll make you a steaming cup of coffee."
„Uhm, thanks."
When she stood up from bed naked he gathered all of his self-control and fought the urge to drag her back. He himself dressed up before, not wanting to disrupt her morning routine. Sighing loudly he went to kitchen and prepared two cups for them. He was half through his tea when she emerged from stairs, wearing her work clothes and a grumpy face. The face changed when he handed her the coffee.
She inhaled the smell and world suddenly seemed more bearable.
„Thanks for the coffee."
„Always a pleasure Lisbon, I like making you coffee."
„I wish I could say the same about making you tea."
„Oh, don´t try to fool me, I know you love making me tea. That´s why you are quite good at it. You just need to practice some more."
She looked at him stubbornly.
„Quite good? Really Jane?"
He smiled.
„Yes, quite good. You are sure not as good at me, but maybe in some years you´ll get there."
„And maybe not, because maybe, Jane, maybe from now on you are going to make your own damn tea."
He gave her a hurtful look, pretending to look sad.
„You wouldn´t do that to me, you love me too much, you said so."
„Oh you are so full of it. Okay I´ll make you tea but you will behave in return."
„I can´t promise you that. But I´l sure try to."
„Jaaaaane..."
The playful banter between them continued through whole ride to Jane´s motel where they separated. Lisbon insisted on driving alone to work. It seemed less suspicious. He gave her a kiss and a wink of an eye.
„See you in work, Lisbon. I am sure it will be fun."
„Behave, or I will take other privileges from you, not just the tea making."
The look on his face made her laugh. For a while, he though she meant it.
„You truly are an evil woman, Teresa!" he shouted after her.
„Bye, Jane." she shouted back and blew him a kiss.
He smiled to himself and sat in his car. He was already looking forward to work. Let´s see how much trouble they can get into.
With a happy feeling bubbling inside him, he started the engine and went to work.
