Thanks again for all those reviews - please keep them coming!
This one took a little longer to write, I wasn’t quite sure where to end it....but I think this keeps it just hanging right for the next few chapters....let me know what you think!
What's the story about: Emily gets injured on their last case and JJ decided to organise a girl's road trip home with her...what will happen?
"Feel like dessert?" JJ asked seductively, lightly running a finger over Emily's hand laying on the table.
Emily held her breath at the sudden change of mood at their table. Unable to say anything, JJ grinned at Emily's awkwardness, "They do a great tiramisu here. I thought we could share?"
Emily let out her breath, finally deciding to add to the tension, "I'd like some sweetness!"
JJ raised her eyebrow and grinned."Good, I'll go order us one! You won't regret it!" She lightly brushed past Emily, causing her to shiver.
Emily was able to collect her thoughts with the blonde away from the table.
What was going on here? Did the conversation seemed to be turning into more than just friends talking, or was she imagining it? Did she want more from this? Did JJ want more?
She wasn't quite sure where it was heading...
JJ arrived back at the table with the tiramisu in hand and two spoons.
Emily caught a quick glance of JJ’s lips, as she bit down on a mouthful of the dessert. She closed her eyes and produced a low, guttural moan. Emily's heart stopped for a second at the scene in front of her, and, she realized right then, that she liked JJ more than just friends.
Suddenly aware that two eyes were staring at her, JJ opened hers and panicked.
“What? Have I got something on my face?"
Emily grinned, trying to hide her embarrassment from getting caught, "No...I was just thinking....."
JJ cocked her head, "What?"
"Nothing...."
"Oh come on Emily.... Out with it!"
"I was thinking that if they took some footage of you eating that dessert right now, they could use it for an adult’s movie!!" Emily smirked.
"Why Prentiss!" JJ grinned at the brunette.
She picked up the spoon, grabbed some tiramisu and brought it to Emily’s mouth. Emily awkwardly opened her mouth and allowed JJ to feed her.
She automatically closed her eyes and let out her own little moan. Quickly opening her eyes, raising her hand to her mouth, embarrassed and slightly mortified by her uncontrollable outburst.
JJ raised her eyebrow, "....and you were saying? .... I think you've just attracted everyone's attention that is in this restaurant with your reaction!"
Emily cheeks reddened.
Finishing off the dessert together, they paid the bill and headed out of the restaurant.
Neither Emily nor JJ was ready to head to their rooms and JJ suggested heading to a lake nearby for a walk.
Emily threaded her arm through JJ’s as they walked, feeling bolder from the red wine. She leaned into JJ enjoying the closeness.
"It’s such a beautiful place, JJ," looking towards the blonde.
JJ was taking in the surroundings, enjoying the tranquilness of the water.
"Yes, it's definitely one of my favourite spots. I love water plus the winery is great!"
There was silence, but there was no awkwardness about it. Both girls were satisfied with soaking in the environment and sharing it with the other.
JJ could not believe how comfortable she was here with Emily. She was happy to be here with her and was completely truthful when she told Emily, that she could think of no one better to be here with.
Everything just seemed right.
Both girls with not a care in the world looked into each other’s eyes.
The world around them seemed to have stopped. They could not hear the soft breeze or feel it on their faces...their attention was purely on the person in front of them.
Slowly, brunette met blonde, their lips softly touching the others. Both slightly drew back to gauge the reaction from the other. There was no hint of disgust or regret, just the look of pure lust.
The brunette's heart was thudding and she attacked the receptive blonde's lips with urgency. JJ grasped at Emily's hair to bring them closer, parting her mouth, allowing Emily access to explore.
The girls broke apart gasping for air. Both breathing heavily, staring back at the other girl. The girl's hands were intertwined.
"ummmm...wow!" JJ traced her fingers over where Emily’s lips had just been.
Emily looked at the blonde and could see the fire in her eyes. Emily wanted to pounce on JJ right there. However she knew better.
Knowing that there was a little too much alcohol in both their systems, Emily decided the best course of action was to stop anything they would regret in the morning now.
It took all of her strength to begin the conversation she really didn’t want to have.
“JJ....” Emily husked out.
“Em....” JJ brushed Emily’s cheek softly, focusing on the brown eyes in front.
Emily broke contact, looking at her feet.
“I think we need to stop here...”
Confused, JJ squeezed Emily’s hand and hunched to make eye contact. “Why? What’s the matter Em? I...want this....you want this....right?”
“Yeah....of course....it’s just....the alcohol....you and I have both had too much...I want....no regrets”
“Em...” JJ grabbing Emily’s face and looking into those deep brown eyes, “I’m fine...I know what I want.”
“I know, but let’s just wait till we’re more sober....”
