Questions

Sometimes JJ wonders...

Sitting accross from her in the jet, I sometimes wonder what it would be like to touch Emily. What would happen if I just stood up slowly and walked the short distance over to her? What it would be like to have her eyes following my movements. Would her gaze be sharp and piercing, or lazy and accepting? Would those chocolate orbs make my heart beat even faster?

And when I was by her side, would she let me run my fingers lightly along her arm and up over her shoulder? Would she shiver at my touch? Or would she shudder?

If I leaned forward and whispered sweet nothings in her ear, would she turn her head to kiss me, or would I have to initiate that little taste of heaven as well? Would she mirror my hands on her cheeks or would they snake in my hair or around my waist?

And if I started to move my hands down, running over mounds but going further, would she let me undo the button and push down the zip?

Would she squirm if I pushed my hand down under fabric, fingers curling, or would she push back in desperate need?

And if I went deeper, drawn into liquid heat, would she sigh or throw her head back and moan?

But most of all, I wonder whether she will look me in the eye as she comes, and if then, I will finally be able to see past her multi-layered mask and have all her truth layed out like a map before me and just me.

Leaving the plane and heading over to the cars, case over and homeward bound, her eyes meet mine briefly and a revelation hits me. It's then that I first understand there's only one way my questions will ever be answered.

"Hey JJ," her voice startles me and I look up again. "Are you doing anything tonight?" My head tilts involuntarily as her usually sure eyes shift away and she tuck a dark strand behind one ear.

Maybe, just maybe, I think. Maybe Emily has some questions of her own she wants answered.

"No." I reply in my usual quick fashion, flashing her a quick smile. "What exactly did you have in mind?"

AN: Possible - no, wait - more than likelysequel/other chapter/s in the works. Especially seeing as I've watched 16 episodes of CM in the last six days. It's funny because it's sad - and the day's not over yet. So if you enjoyed this, keep an eye out. Thanks for reading.
