Jane moved towards her gathering her into her arms and hugging her close. "It's going to be ok, Maur. Don't worry, you have us. We're your family now, ok?"

Maura snuggled in closer, one arm wrapping around the brunettes waist and the other around her neck. Her words had echoed in her heart and filled her eyes with tears. "Thank you, Jane. You have no idea how much that means to me"

The detective pulled her in a little tighter against her, soaking up her warmth and scent. Just being near the doctor always filled her with a warm sense of comfort. She was so lucky to have Maura as her best friend. She couldn't remember her life before she had met the M.E., it seemed like she had always been a part of it even when she wasn't. Sensing the doctor wasn't quite ready to let go yet, Jane settled a little closer to her and stroked her friend's hair soothingly a few times.

Preparing herself to let go, Maura laid her cheek on the detective's shoulder and nosed into the warmth under Jane's ear. Loosening her grip, she kissed the soft skin briefly before pulling away. But then time seemed to stop…..

Jane froze in surprise and horror. Butterflies erupted in her chest as her eyes widened. The brief and innocent kiss had caused a moan that came from nowhere and slipped out before she could stop it. Neither one of them moved for several moments, moments that felt like hours to the terrified detective. She was too scared to move back far enough to see the doctor's face or to meet her eyes. So they stood there still touching, still in each other's arm, just frozen in place except for the damn butterflies that kept fluttering inside her.

Finally, Maura's hands that had been withdrawing now tentatively reached out to loosely hold the detective in place. Staring at the spot on Jane's neck that her lips had touched, she regarded the skin curiously as she noted that her own heart rate seemed to have increased. Jane had moaned. Jane moaned and it had sent a flash of heat through Maura's body. Needing more data to process this new development, the doctor slowly leaned in and pressed her lips against the warm column of the detective's neck again. She paused as she heard Jane release a soft gasp, then continued on tracing the long length of taut skin before her.

Jane's long, thick lashes fluttered before closing completely as she lost herself in the touch of her best friend. She swallowed hard as Maura's lips found her pulse point below her ear and lingered on it. The doctor paused as she felt Jane's pulse beat rapidly against the tender skin of her lips. She shyly touched the tip of her tongue to feel the beating rhythm increase. She felt more than heard the whimper that escaped the detective when her lips encircled the pulsing skin as she sucked lightly at it. The brunette's arms tightened, pulling the M.E. closer to her, one hand at her waist and the other now gently pressing her head closer to her. Jane arched her neck giving the doctor more room to explore. Her fingers threaded through soft curls "Maur.." she gasped out finding that was the only word her brain could remember at the moment.

Maura hummed as she continued to suck and nibble, fascinated by Jane's response as well as her own. She could feel her desire building causing her body temperature to rise and the trembling in her limbs to increase. Her hands dropped to the detective's slim hips and hesitatingly pulled her closer.

Jane moaned again as the doctor explored her jawline, touching her dimple with the tip of her tongue then moving to explore the cleft in her chin. Not having time to process what was happening, the detective moved instinctively closer as she slipped a muscular leg between the doctor's thighs causing her skirt to raise and bunch above it.

It was Maura's turn to gasp as the solid leg pressed and rocked against her hot and wet core. Pulling back just a bit she looked up at her gorgeous best friend as her hands struggled to pull her even closer. She waited until Jane's eyes opened, feeling her heart flip at the sight of those beautiful chocolate eyes dark with desire. "Jane" she breathed out as if it were a prayer.

Jane searched her eyes carefully before her gaze dropped to focus on the doctor's mouth. Meeting her eyes again, she leaned in and stopped as if waiting for Maura to decide. The doctor didn't need time. She had only on occasion entertained romantic thoughts of her best friend but had not allowed the fantasy to take flight. This was no fantasy though. Jane was in her arms and was looking at her like she wanted to devour her. She definitely needs no time to decide. Lifting her face to Jane's she felt her heart flutter again as their lips tentatively brushed a few times before settling on each others to taste and explore.

The kiss had barely begun though when both their phones started ringing. Jane ripped herself from Maura's arms and nearly lunged for her phone where she had left it on Maura's desk.

"Rizzoli" she answered, her voice a touch huskier and louder than normal.

Maura stood where she had been abandoned for a moment as her heart sank. Blinking back tears, she slowly moved to retrieve her phone from her purse.

"Isles" She listened as best as she could while her mind still reeled from the moment they had just shared and the abrupt ending to it. Hanging up, she bit her bottom lip as she took in Jane's restless pacing as she too listened to the details.

The detective had just hung up and grabbed her things when Frost walked in the open door of Maura's office

"C'mon, Jane. We got a body" Frost called not waiting for his partner before turning and heading back to the elevator.

Clipping her things to her belt, Jane followed in Frost's wake. Maura barely could hold her tears in check as she leaned against the side of her desk. Her mind began running through all of the repercussions of what had just happened she dropped her head in her hands at the possibility she just lost her one true friend.

Hearing the door shut, she let her emotions roll through her. Maybe that's why she didn't register the sound of the lock or the detective's steps as she came back to stand before her. Pulling the doctor's hands away from her face, Jane reached out to tip her chin up.

Gasping in surprise, Maura quickly tried to dash her tears away but it was too late. Her beautiful glazed green eyes watched in disbelief as the detective pressed her hips against the desk with her own, sliding her leg back between the doctor's shaking thighs. Taking the time to kiss each tear away, Jane finally made her way to the M.E.'s lips. Kissing her firmly and rocking her thigh against her core one more time, the detective nearly purred as their breasts pressed together. "Tonight, Maura. Ok? Come for dinner. We can talk or...figure this thing out. Ok"

Maura tilted her head as her beautiful smile spread across her face. Nodding, she let a breathy giggle out as Jane groaned and kissed her smile. Dropping a few more kisses on her upturned face, the detective reluctantly pulled away. 'Ok, Dr. Isles, I gotta go catch some bad guys" she said before heading to the door. Pausing, she looked back once more. "Hey, and next time you want to jump me we gotta lock this door first" she winked causing the doctor to laugh even as her 'next time' sent shivers down the M.E.'s spine.
