“If it is right, it happens—the main thing is not to hurry. Nothing good gets away.” - John Steinbeck
It had been a hard day. They were sent to the hotel to rest. After almost 34 hours on the job. Emily sat looking up somewhere to pre order pizza so it would be there when they arrived. Half a block away from the hotel she found a restaurant that could do just that. Pizza and beer for our tired agents. A soft hand pushes her phone down a hand with a clear short manicure. She looks up to meet JJ's eyes. She always has to brace herself for the full force of their beauty. Not to mention the woman they belong to being absolutely breathtaking. "Hey Em." she whispered "Will you get the pizza for just the boys?" Emily turned to whisper back. "I'm not down with a hunger strike right now JJ." JJ smacks her arm playfully laughing cause everything is funnier when you are this tired. "I was hoping we could go have dinner together. Ya know like actually sit down at a table like humans." Emily smirked she couldn't help herself. "Are you trying to get me alone, Agent Jareau?" JJ blushed and laughed. "Well I am taking you to bed later, so I figured I should buy you dinner first." Emily looked away giggling trying to hide her blush. Garcia had to book 'the only room left' a single king size bed. She knew the girls would take it and not ask any questions. They sleep together on the nights one stays over with the other. It was nothing new. Emily had caught on to Garcia's game but had no complaints. Emily looks out the front windshield "You know it's like negative ten." JJ leaned to whisper in her ear. "I promise, I'll keep you warm." JJ's placed her hand on her thigh and Emily could feel it burning a hole through her slacks and she was red as a tomato. "You're persistent." JJ smirks as Emily meets her eyes. "It is one of my best qualities." JJ said with confidence. Emily had a lot more on the list before she would reach JJ's bull-headedness, but sure.
"Shouldn't we invite the boys." JJ waived her hand "Their fine. We were still going to order food for them." Emily kept her face completely neutral and turned her gaze back to JJ. "If I didn't know any better I'd think you were trying to ask me on a date." She kept her voice down and her tone had a teasing lift to it. However Emily Prentiss was a damn good profiler. JJ shrugged. "It does look that way romantic dinner, sharing a bed, I see it." JJ's fingernail finding it's way to her mouth the remnants of a bad habit she had of chewing her nails. "Now it's a 'romantic' dinner?" Emily says eyebrows raised. JJ smiled mischievously at her looking like the cat that ate the canary. Emily was assessing JJ's body and language. She ran though the basic list quickly. JJ was sitting close to her. She was a touchy person but touching someone's thigh is different than a hug or a pat on the back. JJ's eyes have been studying her. The sapphire orbs darting to check her out when she was 'not looking' directly at her. Flirting that has turned up a notch or two and the lack of denial when called out on her intentions. Then the lip bite confirmed it. JJ was serious from everything she sees. "I'd love to." She whispered. This caused JJ to loop her arm through Emily's and hold onto that arm with the other hand. She placed a gentle excited kiss to her cheek as Emily ordered delivery for the boys. She of course ordered way too much just in case.
Morgan sat in the driver's seat trying to 'not hear' what they were saying. JJ was running game and it was smooth. He must have been rubbing off on her. He had been watching the pair flirt for two years now. He was rooting for them, but didn't think it would ever happen kind of like him and Garcia. Just a bit of fun to lighten the darkness. He could see something there though. Emily definitely held a candle for the younger agent. She was fiercely protective of her and you could see her light up when the blonde looks her way. However Morgan noticed more than most. The rule 'we don't profile each other' doesn't apply to his brain. He remembered the first time they both jumped in the back. He found it curious but he didn't mind, he just made a joke of it. It had become a regular thing but Emily tried hard to make sure he was never upset by it. He waved her off "Naw, I have more room now. Also I can set up the laptop for Garcia and the GPS." He flashed her that winning smile. Derek could see more in JJ than the fun flirty fun 29 year old, talented, brilliant, and honorable. He could see Jennifer, and Jennifer had a soft spot for Emily. He didn't know if it was just an emotional attraction or possibly a physical one. She was hard to read in that way because she had such a big heart. He had tried to pry one night at the bar to find out if she was a stereotype of a female athlete. She shook her head and rolled her eyes. I was really busy off the field so I could get through high school and graduate at 16 and plow through college so I could be a seasoned agent by 27. Morgan remembered being put in his place by her saying that. If she wanted him to know he would, and if she didn't he wouldn't at least in theory. However the morning she met Emily Prentiss he didn't need her confirmation anymore. JJ the always professional, collected, and of course well spoken was tripping all over herself. She looked like a teenager with a crush he even caught her playing with her hair while talking to Emily. He remembers Garcia slapping his arm excitedly and pointing. "I think our little baby gay might finally leave the nest." He laughed softly and shushed her. "Leave her be, baby girl." He admonished. Also the first time he saw them dancing at the bar on one of their get togethers he was certain. Women dance with women all the time but the slow dancing to romantic songs gave them away. However even with the occasional 'accidental' booking of king size beds by Garcia, and his trying to push them together whenever possible they couldn't seem to get them to wake up.
Clearly Emily was wide awake to how she felt for JJ Jareau. However she has taken up residence in Egypt. In fairness, it is to protect herself. Emily had a discussion once with him on the damage to lesbians the cliche of falling in love with the best friend has done to the community. Emily calls it "Bad P.R." which always makes her laugh. The real one not the one that hides her pain. Luckily with JJ in the field darkness doesn't seem to follow her like it used to. Or honesty any of them the way it used to. JJ has a way about her that brings everyone together. JJ again giggles in the backseat as he turned off the road and parked. Morgan cleared his throat. "We're here Ladies." Emily patted his shoulder. "Thanks Morgan. I can drive tomorrow if you want." Emily says "You don't have to bear the burden." Morgan shakes his head. "Driving isn't a burden it helps clear my head. It's calming." Emily shrugged. Morgan grabbed his gear bag from the back. "The storm is making it hard to look for this creep anyway. A snow storm had taken over the sleepy town in Wisconsin and had only continue to pound down on the city. "I honestly think tonight's storm might stop travel. You know I have a sense for these things." Emily nodded it was no lie he did. JJ had gabbed their bags shouldering hers and holding Emily's. Emily reached for hers only to have her hand smacked away. "I've got it." Morgan smiled to himself, continuing to pretend not to notice the pair acting like a married couple. "At least the storm has made the unsub stop. Even that sick monster can't get around in this." Emily said continuing the conversation.
"Y'all should go to dinner." Morgan said and then mentally kicked his own ass. He smiled at JJ's mouth falling open. "You need an extra coat?" Emily shook her head. No I'm going to go up and put on my civi's real quick...... Maybe?" She looked to JJ. "Yeah obviously." JJ said failing at casual. This really just meant Emily wanted to lock up their weapons. If she's going out with JJ she doesn't need to be armed. Not with that firecracker next to her. They start making their way inside and Emily is lost in thought. The ding of the elevator brought her back to the present. Emily Swiped the stupid card thing that always takes three tries and finally opened the door. JJ slammed it behind them and dropped their gear bags. JJ's arms wrap-around her, the blonde immediately pasting herself against her back. Emily knows JJ is struggling through the case. She turned and pulled JJ in tight. "I know, Bella." She whispered. The pair stand there holding each other close for few minutes. Emily lets herself get lost for a brief moment in the embrace. When they finally part, the pair set about changing and locking up their weapons. Emily changes into Jeans and a sweater. She sits slipping back into her work boots and lacing them up. She normally wouldn't wear them, but since they are like a superpower for being fall proof and there's ice she decided it was best. She also knows what footwear her counterpart will choose so she will have to be steady for both of them. She was thankful her jeans would pull over the tops just barely but enough to tuck them away. She checked her face quick and gave a spritz of her favorite cologne. The one that always makes the blonde smell her neck.
JJ stepped from the restroom having freshened up as well. Emily drank in her form and a hint of a smile played on her lips. "Hey." JJ says as she exhales the breath she had been holding. Relived to see her Em and not Agent Prentiss. The relief and comfort was apparently contagious and Emily returned her greeting with a content "Hey, Jen." Something Emily has tried to do in their alone time with JJ is call her by her name, Jay, or Bella. Avoiding the nickname JJ for the most part she wanted to have the privilege of calling the blonde something no one else does. Surprisingly JJ seemed to love it. JJ had changed her shirt to a flannel button up and she also opted for jeans. JJ had clearly fussed with her hair and had also touched up her makeup. That's new, Emily thought she normally just changes, or uses the natural look. However she's so beautiful the makeup is just decorative anyway. Then Emily smiled fully at the cowboy boots she knew she would find on her feet. Until Emily noticed The little bulge on JJ's boot. Her demenor changed slightly and she disapprovingly shook her head. "What?" JJ asked even though she knew what. "You don't need that." Emily said her tone stern and disappointed. JJ nodded "I just....I dunno...." "Were raised to believe it the only way to be safe." JJ frowned. "That's not fair, Em." JJ walked over to her box and opened it placing the .22 inside. She didn't use to be this way being held and making mistakes that resulted in losing her firearm have made her paranoid. JJ has been taking martial arts and is moving up quickly in Judo as well as BJJ not to mention the improved strength it had provided. She got her purple belt in BJJ a few weeks ago. Emily had been there as she aways was cheering and whooping for her. She tried to always be there for her if possible. Right now there is an adorable picture of JJ jumping on her after the ceremony belt in hand framed on her dresser. Emily sometimes forgets to thank Garcia for things like that photo. She makes a mental note to get Garcia something amazing to thank her for it, and for well everything. Especially considering it was a certain blondes phone background.
JJ turns around to find Emily just behind her. "Look, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. You are a federal agent and have every right to carry whenever you want." JJ shook her head slightly "That's not the point. You are right I can't live my whole life armed." She reached for her jacket. "Especially... when I have a date with a gorgeous brunette." She said giving Emily a cheeky wink. "Oh, do I know her?" JJ laughed as she slid her arms in her coat. "C'mon Em before the weather gets worse." Reid was in the hallway talking to Rossi. "Where you guys headed?" He asked Rossi elbowed him in the stomach. "What?" He says confused. Rossi gave him the mind your business eyes. "We are going out for a bit. I feel couped up." JJ responded. Reid looks to Rossi. "Just be safe, JJ. The freeze is supposed to hit with the ice storm at 21:00. Try to be back before then." JJ exhaled "Okay...dad." Emily discreetly elbowed JJ then waived "Thanks Spence, we are just going down the street." Emily was grateful as the elevator dinged and the pair rushed inside. Emily pressing the door shut button like it was going to make it go faster. "What is wrong with you." JJ shrugged "Tired." Emily shook her head, "That's no reason to act like a bitchy teenager." JJ looked down and toed the floor with her boot. "I just don't like people acting like I can't think for myself." Emily understood but still thought she went too far. Spencer had meant well. "I know." She says softly. She slid her hand into JJ's giving her a small squeeze of understanding. Letting go just as the doors opened.
Emily offered JJ her arm as they step out on to the sidewalk. JJ smiles at her a little differently when she takes it. Emily has a gut feeling that JJ was truly smitten with her. That this was a real date and JJ's flirting with her was genuine. "So how are you, gorgeous?" JJ asked Emily. While they work together they are usually on separate teams when they roll out. If you asked Agent Prentiss outside of present company she would say It's for the best. She would say sometimes JJ is a distraction because she's protective of her and also it's good to have a balance on both teams. It can come in handy with victims and unsubs. It's never bothered Emily. JJ however finds it sexist at best. It's been this way since JJ tested and became an actual profiler. She's still wrangling the media circus currently but they are looking for a good fit for their media liaison. "I'm okay. It's just it's kids ya know." JJ nodded. "Yeah, same. I totally get it." They enjoyed each other's presence and made the rest of the walk in comfortable silence. Something JJ had never known before Emily. Her family was always loud and she thought that noise was what showed love and happiness. However now knowing Emily she revels in the intimacy and sincerity of their shared silence.
Emily rubbed the back of her neck. As they approached the door. It was a nervous habit. She reached for the door holding it for the blonde who thanked her and walked inside. JJ felt Emily's hand on her lower back her gentle touch telling her she had returned to her side. These simple touches send warmth and comfort through JJ. The greeter showed them to a small booth. The tables had candlelight and there was soft music drifting through the building. It wasn't a fancy place but could definitely be considered nice and possibly even romantic. It is Italian after all. They ordered some wine and looked over the menu. Emily knew what was going to happen. So when the young waiter returned with the heavy Italian accent Emily ordered for the pair In Italian. Small salads with Chicken Marsala for herself and spaghetti bolognese for JJ. She peeked at the blonde from the corner of her eye. JJ always gets a little flush listening to Emily show off her language skills. When the waiter left Emily turned to see JJ bitting her lip. "Sorry I just..." JJ held up her hand and finished her sentence. "...always know what I want." Emily smiled. "Also, Never apologize for that, Emily. I love listening to you speak in other languages." She had to fight the urge to make a joke about tongues. Emily fought the urge to say 'I noticed' chosing instead to say "I live to please you my beautiful." In Arabic. She had figured out JJ's favorite thing to have whispered in her ear was anything in Arabic. "I really hope that's appropriate, Agent Prentiss." Emily Smirked.
"I assure you it was." She says leaning slightly towards JJ. "I only say dirty things when I whisper in your ear." Emily said in a softer voice. JJ's eyes widen before she takes on a flirty tone. "You whisper naughty things in my ear?" JJ tucked her hair behind her ear looking up to Emily's eyes. "All the time, Jen." Emily lifted an eyebrow in challenge or satisfaction it is hard to say. She leans into the bit, and a little closer to JJ. "Be a good girl and I'll whisper sexy things to you later." A blush creeps up JJ's neck but she brushed Emily's leg under the table. "If I'm a bad girl, will you do them instead." JJ says toying with her a bit. Emily looks away blushing then proceeded to curse every god she knew of as the waiter shows up at that moment with the food. They take a break from flirting to eat and of course share food with one another. After a while the waiter walks up with a delicious looking chocolate budino. "For the lovely couple, from the owner." He gestures to the owner sitting at the edge of the bar. JJ turned smiling big. "Thank you, you are too kind." She waved to the owner in the corner who waved back. Emily smiled and waved and soon as the waiter was out of earshot. "Jen." JJ shushed her. "It was a lovely gesture. Are you ashamed to be with me." Emily frustratedly mutters in another language, 'This woman will be the death of me.' Then takes a deep breath. "Of course not, Bella." JJ smiled having won. "Russian?" Emily shakes her head in amazement "Yeah." JJ takes a bite of the dessert and makes a soft moan of delight. I bet I can make you moan louder Emily thinks. Then scolds herself. JJ holds out a spoonful to Emily. "You gotta try it, babe." Emily wanted to call her on the slip, but instead reluctantly bends and takes the offered spoonful. Letting her tongue poke out first and then wrapping her lips around the spoon. Two can play at this game she thinks. She winks at JJ before leaning back and enjoying her dessert.
"It's pretty good, Bella." She feels JJ's hand on her knee under the table again. She finally allowed herself a minute to be just as naughty as Jennifer is being. She makes a show of looking at JJ's body pausing on her lips. She licks and bites her bottom lip while giving JJ fuck me eyes. JJ blushes and looks down but her eyes dart right back to Emily's. "Wanna get outta here?" JJ asked her voice was dripping with sexual innuendo. Emily could feel those words incinerate what was left of Emily's waning restraint. However, a few seconds later JJ yawns. Emily mentally shook herself, extinguished the fire, and booped JJ's nose. "Yeah lets get you to bed, Mia Bella." She stood and feels JJ's arm snake around her as she turned to grab her jacket. "Thought you would never ask." is whispered hotly in her ear. Emily tried to fight it but she shivers. She doesn't see JJ smirk in victory. JJ lets go and slides on her jacket. Emily Sets a hundred on the table. "I thought I was getting dinner." JJ pouted. "You can get the next one. Let's get you to bed sleepy head." Emily says placing her hand in the small of JJ's back.
The pair feel the chill as they step out of the restaurant. The ice had started. "Wisconsin." Emily groans. She still feels sturdy in her combat boots. In that moment halfway to the hotel she feels JJ try to grab her jacket. "Oh Shit, Jennifer." Emily says trying to catch JJ but doesn't quite accomplish it. She had her hands in her pockets she was too slow. "Ugh... Owwwww." JJ mutters grabbing her head. Emily's eyes come in to her view. "You okay sweetheart?" Emily says softly. "Yeah I'm good." JJ groaned trying to sit up. "Lil help." She says making grabby hands at Emily. Emily chuckles. "Alright, Up ya go." She pulled JJ up and right into her arms. JJ buried he nose in Emily's neck and inhaled. "My favorite." She whispered. She feels the soft press of JJ's lips against her neck but she ignores it. It's just not the place or time. JJ pulled back meeting her eyes. "Carry me." Emily smiles looking away. "I don't think I can on the ice, but I promise I won't let go." Emily checked her watch. "21:12." She said softly. "Baby Einstein was right."
She steadied JJ on her feet. "You good, Jennifer?" JJ nodded. "Yeah just hit my head. Maybe it'll knock some sense into me." She joked. Emily held tightly onto her until they got into the lobby of the hotel. She let go unbuttoned her coat and taking in the space. "You said you wouldn't let go." JJ pouted as they enter the elevator. Emily pushed the floor then turned and wrapped JJ in a hug. "I'll hold you all night, Jen." JJ felt brave or maybe the bump on her head had knocked some sense into her. She leans up on her tip toes wrapping her arms around Emily's neck. "Thanks for tonight. I had a great time." JJ leaned in and kisses her cheek. Normally she would lay her head on Emily's shoulder but instead she placed a soft kiss to Emily's lips. The air seemed to be sucked out of the elevator. The pair stood frozen sharing a shakey breath and then the elevator dinged. They separate and walk to their room. JJ texts Morgan to get the meeting time. Approximately 06:30 he texted back. As she slipped her phone in her pocket it dinged again. "I hope your date went well." He put a big smile emoji and the thumbs up. JJ checked the message rolled her eyes in frustration, but ignored it.
Emily holds the door for her. "Listen..." JJ says pushing her hair away from her face. "I shouldn't have..." JJ stops turning and looking in Emily's eyes. She's rubbing the knot forming on the back of her head. She can't read Emily's face. "I'm sorry." JJ says it was honest. She didn't regret it AT FUKING ALL. However she was sorry if had made Emily uncomfortable. Emily took her jacket off and hung it. JJ tossed hers on the chair. "Em, I....I'm going to need you to say something.... Please." The last word came out as a quiet plea. Emily rubbed the back of her neck. "Bella..." Emily started and shook her head. "Jennifer, I...." She sees JJ's face, her eyes sad and prepared for rejection. "Come here." She waved JJ over to her wrapping the now teary eyed woman in her arms. "Sweetheart. It's alright. It was just a kiss." (No it wasn't. They both knew that.) JJ didn't want to hear those words and she deflated in Emily's arms. "Listen we are exhausted and you hit your head and like we... We really need to get to bed. Whaddya say Bella? You can have the first shower." Emily kissed her head and her hand rubbed circles on JJ's back. JJ shook her head. "Yeah, obviously we need to sleep. People are counting on us." Emily watched her walk to her suitcase. "...And we need to cuddle." Emily said sweetly. JJ turned "You still want to cuddle with me? You obviously don't have to." Emily walks over to her and pulled her close. She wants to reassure her and the devil on her shoulder just told her how to do it. She leans down to JJ's ear. She whispered some of her dirty thoughts to JJ in Arabic. Causing the blonde to melt against her. She can't count the number of times she has told JJ she wants to make love to her. That she want to kiss every part of her. To know how she tastes. To worship at her altar until her strength gives out. If JJ were honest she was confused. Emily seems to want her. Why was a kiss too far. Emily loosened her tight grip on JJ. She looks to JJ's bundle of PJs.
"Thief." Emily said swatting JJ on the butt. Emily's old Yale shirt is JJ's favorite thing to sleep in since she borrowed it two years ago. Of course JJ brought it on purpose. She loves to see the way Emily looks at her when she wears it. Emily doesn't actually want it back of course. It's just part of the dance they do. "Really thief?" She waggles her eyebrows at Emily. The tickles her sides. Emily laughed fighting back. Finally she says "Okay...Okay." and gives JJ the tap. JJ's smiles at the small victory. Emily is also thinking of the U Pitt and Georgetown shirts in her dresser. JJ had also left one of her personalized FBI shirts that literally say J. Jareau on it. She remembers JJ left it spread on her bed one morning after she had stayed. Clearly brought on purpose and the name was a nice touch. Then again JJ had stole that baggy yale hoodie last winter and doesn't think Emily hasn't noticed yet. "Actually, wait." JJ turns around. She goes and digs in her bag. She hands a black rolled shirt to Emily. "It's from Syndicate." (The martial arts school JJ goes to.) I wore it a few times for you and washed it. Emily blushes looking down. "You spoil me, Jennifer."
Emily wrapped JJ in her arms. She wants to say she loves her and kiss her brains out. She kisses her cheek instead. "Need help?" She asks suggestively. JJ's eyes flash with desire but she swats her arm. "I'll only be a few."
Emily sits watching the weather channel lost in her thoughts. She can't believe JJ kissed her. All this time to wait to kiss her and choosing a musty elevator while on a case. She's not mad. Not at all. She's a bit confused, conflicted and her brain won't just cooperate. Her body is screaming for Jennifer Jareau. She knows she could strip right now and join JJ in the shower, or at any point she could lay her down. She's a hundred percent sure JJ would be game. However her fucking brain is calculating risk and trying to figure out just what had changed their pattern. She had always assumed she would make the first move in every instance. She knew JJ had only 'been with' two women and one was like some tortured romance and broke JJ's heart. Her Junior year of college she says she swore off dating in general but to Emily it appeared she swore off dating women. Emily knew she had hooked up with a woman from the bar one night. She had definitely had one too many and one of the waitresses from the bar offered to take her home. Emily had seen them flirt often and seen JJ check her out multiple times. She almost stepped in and said she would take JJ home. However she had no real claim to JJ so she didn't.
They never brought it up again. Pen knew the details Emily didn't want them. The waitress was gone next time they were there like 2 weeks later. She asked the bartender. He looked at her shaking his head. "She kept going home with customers. Every night a different one. It became a real problem. She led people on, and a couple regulars got in a fight. She had to go drama drives customers away." Emily nodded, "Thank you." He smiled "No sweat. Don't worry she isn't in the way." Emily turned her head. "I'm sorry?" He smiled. "The blonde. He nodded towards JJ. They just had a one nighter. She still has eyes for you. You should go get her." Emily laughed tucking her hair behind her ear. "We're colleagues." He slid a drink to her. "She needs a refill, hero. Y'all are more than that. Go on go get her." he winked. Then went to tend to other patrons. Emily had been in the paper that is why he was calling her hero. JJ had been right there with her in the photo of her carrying a little girl they had retrieved from a kidnapper. She hated being called hero. However she wanted to be JJ's hero so bad. She walked to join her friends handing JJ the drink. She had to give it to him he was a damn good bartender. JJ fawned as she set it down. "My hero, Em." She smiled kissing Emily's cheek. Emily cursed the universe 'not what I meant'.
"All yours." Brings her out of her reprieve. She smiled up at JJ. "Already seeping without me gorgeous?" JJ teased offering Emily a hand up. "No I was just thinking is all." She drinks in the sight of JJ in her shirt. It never fails to make her smile. "What?" JJ asks at Emily's intent stare. "Nothing Bella, you are just.... Stunning." "In boxers and a shirt?" JJ says like she's confused. Emily smiles "Especially in boxers and my shirt." Emily walks off with her own bundle to take a shower. She bushed a hand along JJ's waist as she passed. JJ ponders what went wrong she rubbed her head. She thought they had a great time. They did have a good time. She should have asked Emily out properly, not when she was practically obligated to be with her. It really had started as a joke. She just wanted some time with Emily. Time away from the darkness of the case. She wanted to feel the way Emily makes her feel when she smiles. It is like the sunshine for her. Honestly she needed time away from the boys too. She loves them but they're brothers and brothers sometimes annoy you. She loves Emily. She should have done it right. She closed her eyes thinking of the press of Emily's lips against hers.
JJ was leaned back against the headboard eyes closed when Emily exited the bathroom all clean and minty fresh. JJ looked so beautiful their with damp hair in bed waiting for her to join her. Emily got a bottle of water and came to bed clicking off the light on her way. "Bella." She whispers but JJ doesn't stir. "Jen." JJ's eyes flutter open. She slides out of the bed. Hang on, I'll only be a minute. JJ runs to the bathroom. Emily clicked her bedside lamp on to prevent another fall. She walked to the window to check the weather. The road looked like a sheet of ice. Almost made it look like foil. She heard the door and turned JJ stood there staring at her. Wait where are her...as Emily took in her form she realized her boxers were gone. Which is fine obviously, she is fine if JJ wants to sleep in panties, she definitely wouldn't have any complaints. "Emily..." JJ ran her hand through her hair pushing it back. Emily's feet move towards her on their own she stopped herself after 3 steps. JJ is up to something. "Do you want your shirt?" Emily doesn't but the correct answer right now is yes. "If I say yes will you hold it against me? Because I honestly don't, I love seeing you in that shirt. Honestly one of the top five outfits you own. Might even be like reason number two I'm glad I went to Yale now." As Emily rambled JJ walked to her and Emily fell silent.
JJ takes her hands. "Whenever it's right. I'll be here. Im not going anywhere. Even if it is never the right time." JJ's feet are planted firm and she's is sure of her words. "I had a great night with you on our almost date. Even if I was sneaky about getting it. You are a charmer, Em." Emily can see the love in her eyes. "I figured out you were serious in the backseat." JJ tried to hold in her laugh. "That came out wrong." Emily said through a chuckle. JJ licked her lips and put on her best sexy voice. "Will you take me to bed, handsome?" Emily's pupils dilated and she bites her lip. JJ has her number in every single way and she loves that about her. Emily smirked at JJ with an evil sparkle in her eyes. She lifts JJ up in a fluid motion. JJ is always game however. She somehow turns in Emily's grasp and wrapped her in a standing body triangle. "I'm really regretting my idea of you being a martial artist right now." Emily jokes. JJ's smile was downright sinful. "I absolutely doubt that. I'm more flexible and stronger. Seriously you should see my abs." Emily bit her lip. JJ smiled even as tired as she is her inner-child wanted to play. It's one of the things that makes her love JJ. "Take two steps back." JJ ordered and Emily obliged. "Watch this." She held the body triangle and did 3 sit ups with Emily as an anchor. Her shirt rode up and Emily caught sight of her abs as they flexed. She stopped then and wrapped her arms around Emily's neck. Emily couldn't deny it was hot AF. "Showoff." Emily teased before she jumped tossing herself on the bed with the blonde still attached. This broke JJ's grip and Emily pinned her down. JJ didn't fight her. Emily ran a hand along JJ's bare leg. Eventually reaching her hip and stopping. She hovered over JJ searching for something. JJ's breathing had become shallow as she held herself back but her blood was pumping. Emily looks to her lips and JJ licked them by way of permission. Emily leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to JJ's lips.
The kiss wasn't rushed they took their time tongues dancing against one another. Exploring one another until they were both breathless. Emily's hands explored cautiously tracing JJ's abs careful not the light the fire. JJ's hands drifted to her chest before sliding down and grabbing her ass. Emily's eyes held promise as they parted. "Jennifer, I don't want my shirt back ever." She whispers her voice husky. "Is that the dirty words you planned to whisper?" JJ said teasing Emily. Emily smirks and climbs off of JJ the pair finally get in to bed properly. Emily switches the lamp off and JJ turns off the TV. Emily takes a swig of water and then pulls JJ to her. "I'm all yours." JJ snuggled up to Emily laying her head on her chest. "Fuck." JJ says climbing out of bed. "I know you haven't had a lot of practice, but we don't need condoms." JJ burst with laughter as she grabbed her phone from her coat and Emily's off the table. She tossed Emily's at her smacking her in the stomach. "You just think you are so funny." JJ says sarcastically. Their phones plugged in and alarm set. JJ climbed back in bed. Feigning anger she lays on her side back to Emily.
"Bella." Emily says shaking her shoulder. JJ huffed playfully. Emily wrapped an arm around JJ's torso. Brushing her hair away from her ear before whispering in Italian that she's sorry and how amazing she looks right now. She says how she whished she had played along with JJ's tease with the shirt. She's sure her imagination could never do her body justice. JJ can't take it she gasps because Emily's lips keep grazing her ear. Emily can't help but smile. She switched languages to Arabic like she had promised earlier. Emily tells her how she wants to trace her abs with her tongue. She then nibbled on her neck. "You are cheating." JJ turned to look at her. "I think its called winning." Emily whispers with a roughish grin. "I wouldn't make it a competition I am very competitive." JJ says her voice laced with innuendo but just to drive the point home she runs her hand up Emily's leg to high thigh. Drawing a shiver from her before laying her hand on Emily's hip. Emily leaned back to her ear and whispered "One day I will have you against the door. Then hopefully on your knees." JJ moaned softly biting her lip. "Oops I forgot to translate." It wasn't an accident in the slightest Emily knew it was one of JJ's biggest fantasies to be drilled into a door.
The teasing stopped as JJ yawned and Emily followed behind. "Bed?" JJ asked. "I'm confused as to where you think we are right now." Emily teased placing soft kisses under JJ's ear. JJ's exasperated sigh made Emily smile against her skin. "I meant sleep." Emily rolled to her back. "If we must." She said her tone implying it to be a chore. Before JJ got comfortable she leant over Emily. The pair meets to share one more gentle kiss and whisper goodnight. JJ doesn't say I love you though she's burning to. Emily knows and JJ knows how Emily feels, and for now that will have to be enough. Within the safety of each others arms the pair finally drifted to sleep.
