Emily rolled over feeling the tingle of soft warm skin against her breasts. She was immediately alert but left her eyes closed. With only her hands to picture the body beneath her, she slowly began to run her fingertips over a silky back, further down until it reached the dip above curvaceous hips. She let out a quiet sigh, letting her hands wander freely. She’d never thought she’d feel this way about anyone. Even in her head right now, that sounded so cliché, but it was true. Something clicked the moment she was introduced to Jennifer Jareau. She knew her life would never be the same again, and it was going to be all because of JJ.
It took almost a year to even work up the nerve to ask her out, and at some point she’s sure she came close to fainting when she first dared to kiss JJ goodnight. JJ was everything she wasn’t. She was natural and earthy. She was the sweet and gentle girl-next-door. She drank beer from the bottle and ate pork rinds. JJ was as different as all the other women Emily had known as night is to day. She was a light in Emily’s darkness. Something that cast off the ghosts of their hideous jobs with a smile.
Emily felt tears come to her eyes at the number of times she fell at JJ’s feet, crying from the pain another victim’s death left on her soul. At one time, JJ had wondered how she dealt with it all. JJ didn’t realize until the first time she broke down that Emily wasn’t nearly as strong as she looked. Emily squeezed her eyes tighter forcing out the tears, then smiled at the image in her head of the small box sitting in the far back corner of her night table stand. One day she was going to dare to ask the question, to make it all real and let the last of her walls crumble.
For now, she was content to wrap an arm around the slender waist in front of her and nudge aside the blonde hair to nibble at the base of JJ’s neck. A shiver ran through her body as JJ started to stir, placing a hand over Emily’s and intertwining their fingers. Emily slowly began to kiss down JJ’s back, loving the feel of her skin and a sweet scent that was anything she’d ever smelled before. It was uniquely JJ and she’d know if all other senses failed her simply from the smell of her skin. She memorized every texture and taste, reveling in the now soft moans coming from above her. The fact that JJ was fully awake and not making any move to stop her caused a slow ache to start to build low and deep in Emily.
She worked her way lower, turning JJ fully onto her stomach, moving to caress both hips with her hands. Emily then propped herself on both hands and grazed the tips of her nipples over JJ’s ass, causing the blonde to buck slightly at the sensation. She let her long dark hair fall over her shoulders and dust JJ’s shoulders, making her squirm even more.
Even without words, she could tell JJ was getting closer to the edge. JJ’s breathing had increased and her hips were starting to subtly push into the mattress below her. Emily bent low and licked up the entire length of JJ’s spinal column, until she was pressed at her full length against JJ’s back. She leaned over and nipped at JJ’s earlobe.
“You’re so beautiful, Jennifer.”
“Mmmm, Em,” JJ reached back and grabbed at Emily’s hip, trying to pull her tighter into her, “You feel so good.”
“I love you so, baby.”
JJ smirked, feeling playful and turned on, went along with their usual pre-sex banter, “Love you more.”
She rolled over to look into serious, almost frightened eyes. She touched Emily’s cheek and felt the dampness. “Baby?”
Emily nuzzled at the hand on her cheek, kissing JJ’s palm. She knew her silence was scaring JJ, but Emily felt anything but scared at that moment. Looking into the bright blue eyes of the woman she loved, she heard the proverbial hammer hit the last wall blocking her heart. The tears came unhindered, but she smiled a genuine smile of joy.
“Oh Jennifer, you’re everything I’ve always dreamed of. You fill all the darkness in me with light and life. I imagine a future for the first time and I don’t imagine it alone. You’re there. Always there. I never want to lose that.”
“You never will, Em.”
Emily smiled at the perfect opening, “Then prove it and marry me.”
JJ had sworn she’d just dreamed that last part, “What?”
“Jennifer Jareau, will you marry me?” It was JJ’s turn to cry as she put a hand to her mouth in a futile attempt to stop them. She couldn’t make the words come out so she opted for the best way to answer by pulling Emily down to her and kissing her with as much depth and love as she felt.
Emily pulled away gasping, “I take it that’s a ‘yes’.”
JJ again answered by kissing her. The flame that had been simmering as a rolling warmth between them flared to life when JJ’s tongue teased Emily’s lips apart. Slowly tasting and memorizing each other’s mouths, turned quickly into a full-on assault. JJ rolled Emily over onto her back never losing contact with Emily’s mouth.
Emily was usually in charge of their lovemaking, but today wasn’t a typical day and she felt the need to give herself completely to the woman who had been her refuge and safety so many times. JJ felt something different in the brunette. There was a yielding and softness in her face and body that she’d never experienced before. It put JJ on uncertain ground, so she had to ask.
She leaned down, running her tongue along the underside of Emily’s ear, “What do you want, baby?” Emily bit her lip wondering if she had the courage to voice her desire.
“I want you inside of me. All of you.”
JJ felt her pulse quicken at the implication, followed by a surge of something else she couldn’t quite identify at Emily’s request. She leaned back to look into normally confident eyes that were fighting the urge to look away or worse, bolt as fast as possible from the room. JJ ran a finger over Emily’s soft lips.
“Thank you.”
“For what?”
JJ smiled, “For trusting me this much.”
“Only you,” JJ sealed the admission in an act of faith by slowly kissing future wife.
JJ reached into the drawer of her side table and pulled out the tube. She laid it next to Emily as she gradually worked kisses along the hollow of an alabaster neck. Emily wrapped her fingers in blonde hair urging her down further. JJ obliged taking a pert nipple into her mouth, making the brunette arch into JJ’s mouth. She sucked gently at first, occasionally scraping her teeth along the tightened skin, then going back to suck harder taking Emily deep into her mouth. Each time JJ sucked hard, Emily moaned a little louder. JJ moved back and forth between Emily’s breasts and when her mouth wasn’t there, her hands were, keeping up the assault that she knew drove Emily crazy.
After endless minutes of delicious torture, JJ popped the flip top in the tube and squeezed some of the cool gel onto her fingertips, slowly rolling it around until it warmed up. As she leaned down to take one of Emily’s breasts hard into her mouth, she simultaneously slipped three fingers into Emily, making her groan at the sensation overload. Emily gripped at the sheets trying to hold herself down as JJ began to rhymically pump into her, a steady inward motion coinciding with each hard suck.
“Oh goddamn, that’s…oh fuck!” Emily began to push back as she became accustomed to JJ’s fingers. JJ felt overwhelmed. Hearing those words and feeling the tightness around her made JJ realize that this wasn’t only for Emily. She needed this too. Whatever this feeling was overtaking her, she needed it. She leaned back on her heels, hunting with her free hand for the lube, squeezing more into her palm. She worked a fourth finger in and leaned over Emily.
Emily was tensing and pushing up away from her, “Baby, look at me.” Emily’s glassy eyes settled on JJ’s and she instantly relaxed. “That’s right. Relax, take a deep breath.” JJ leaned over and placed a soft, almost chaste, kiss on Emily’s lips. Emily relaxed even further and JJ felt the muscles respond, no longer pushing against her, but enveloping her. JJ tucked her thumb into her palm, giving a gentle push while slowly curling her fingers inward.
“Take one more deep breath.” As Emily let out the breath she was holding, her eyes never leaving the blue ones of the woman she trusted with her life and her body, JJ gave one final push until the muscles gave way to her knuckles.
Emily threw her head back letting out an animalistic growl. JJ joined in with one of her own, “Oh god, Emily. Oh yeah.”
JJ began a slow, smooth movement, barely visible but deeply felt by both women. Emily’s wild eyes, searched for JJ’s, “Jennifer, look at me.”
Without warning, JJ sensed the tightening and convulsing of muscles around her hand and the tensing of Emily’s body. Fresh tears rolled from Emily’s eyes as she gave her body and her heart over to JJ. Feeling the complete peace that comes with trust.
Hours later, JJ awoke, curled up in the safety of Emily’s arms. She smiled and physically tried to restrain her need for a happy dance as she watched the sunlight sparkle off the diamond on her left hand. Mrs. Emily Prentiss. Now that’s something she could definitely get used to.
