Chapter 2

Jane waited for Dean to leave the café before she made a move to head back up to the bullpen carrying the State files with her. She wanted to make sure Frost and Korsak were alright handling the rest of the Barker investigation. They had a solid lead on a suspect and Jane wasn't too worried about their ability to close out the case. She wasn't thrilled she was being pulled off the case but she understood it needed to be done.

As Jane was riding up the elevator, the phone in her pocket vibrated. It caught her a little by surprise and she had to fight the urge to pull the phone out while in the elevator. Instead, she aimlessly flipped through the State police file not really paying attention to any of the details. Once the elevator doors opened she made her way to her desk.

"Agent Dean, huh?" Frost asked her with a wink and a smile.

She knew what he was implying. "So not going to happen," she said. She knew Frost was aware that Dean had expressed an interest in her the last time they had worked together.

"Do you really think the cold cases are tied to those murders in Connecticut?" Korsak asked.

Jane shook her head. "My gut says no," she admitted. "But I haven't seen the cold case files and I haven't really looked through the State files yet either," she indicated to the folder she placed on her desk. "But the ViCAP hits are marginal at best. I'll be surprised if this turns out to be a hit."

While Korsak and Frost chatted Jane excused herself for the restroom. Once inside she stepped into a stall and shut the door. She reached for her phone. Not the one she kept secured to her hip. But the one that she had been carrying in her pocket for some time now. She hit a few buttons on her burner phone to see what the message she had received while on the elevator said.

6:00 pm

It wasn't much but it told her everything she needed to know. She returned the phone into her pocket and went back to join her partners.

"Are you guys going to be alright finishing up the Barker case?" Jane asked as she returned to her desk. "I feel bad leaving you in mid-investigation."

Korsak nodded. "We should be fine. The last lab report confirmed what we thought. The blood found under Barker's fingernails matches the blood type of our suspect. Frost thinks we can dispute his alibi and when that happens we can get a warrant for his DNA profile. That should seal the deal."

Jane knew he was right. The case was coming to an end. She pulled her phone from her hip and looked at the time. It was only 3 pm. She had enough time to review some of the State files before she needed to head out. She settled into her desk and proceeded to review the files for about an hour.

She finished the State file review and decided to head out. She needed to make it home, take care of Jo and still have enough time to get there by 6 pm. She stood up and gathered her things.

"I'm out," she announced to the guys. Both of whom just nodded their heads. "Have a good night," she added as she headed to the elevators. She had somewhere she needed to be.

R&I

Jane finished her walk with Jo and hurried up the stairs. Jo had decided to take her sweet time that night and now Jane was running a little behind. She secured the dog in the apartment making sure to double check the water and food situation before she headed out.

"Behave," she said to Jo who just looked at Jane like it was a crazy thing to say. "I'll be home later."

Jane made her way down the steps of her apartment and knew she needed to put a little speed in her jog. She needed to make up some time and her jogging pace was the best place for her to do so. She turned the volume up on her iPod and took off down the sidewalk. She needed to get to Boston Common as quickly as she could.

Jane's running pace was good. She made up the time she needed to and in the end she actually appreciated the workout. Once she got to Boston Common, she flagged down a cab. Once inside she gave an address and the cabbie took off. Jane scanned out the window as the cab drove off. Once the cab was en route she pulled out her burner cell phone and typed a quick message.

On the way.

It didn't take too long for a reply to come across.

416

Again, while simple and quick it was everything Jane needed to know.

As she returned the burner phone to her pocket the cab pulled up to the destination Jane had given. Jane paid the cabbie and got out. She watched the cab pull away before stepping out into the road and hailing a second cab. Getting into this one, she gave another address and settled into the back seat. She pulled the phone from her hip and checked the time. It was 5:45 pm. Unless the second cab hit traffic, she would her final destination on time. Before she re-clipped the phone to her hip she double checked to ensure she had turned off the GPS function on the phone. She was sure she had. But over the last few weeks she had developed a habit of double checking the little details like handling her phone's GPS.

It was probably unnecessary but she had done so anyway. Just as she was sure taking multiple cabs before getting to her destination was probably unnecessary as well. So, too, was refusing to drive her car to any of these encounters. But she continued, and would continue, to do that as well. She couldn't be too cautious as far as she was concerned.

She finally arrived to her destination and paid the cabbie. Getting out she entered the building and went straight for the elevators. She was in luck as one was already on the lobby level and the doors opened immediately for the detective who got in and pressed the '4' button. Once on the fourth floor, Jane made her way as quickly as she could to 416 where she approached and only needed to knock once before the door flew open and Jane found herself getting pulled into the room.

R&I

She didn't even have time to say hello before she was pushed up against the door and a pair of lips began a surprising but certainly not unwanted attack on her own. The kiss was sudden, almost desperate but full of passion. Arms wrapped tightly around Jane's neck as the kiss grew in intensity. Jane's arms wrapped around the waist in front of her as she surrendered herself completely to the kiss.

"Jane," came the whispered voice. The voice dripping with want.

"Sshhhh," Jane responded. This wasn't the time for conversation. Instead, Jane recaptured the lips in front of her all the while letting her hands work to undo the buttons on the shirt she now found beneath her fingers. As lips continued to play and fingers continued to loosen clothing articles, Jane slowly started to walk the two away from the door and towards the bed in the room. It would take them a few minutes to get there but they would eventually reach their destination.

"God I want you," Jane uttered as she managed the last of the buttons she had been working to undo. With the buttons taken care of Jane slipped the shirt off the shoulders and let the garment fall onto the floor in front of her.

"Then take me," Maura replied with a seductive smile as she unclasped her bra letting it fall to the floor joining her blouse in what would soon become a large pile of discarded clothes. Reaching out she took ahold of the detective's hands and placed them on her breasts.

Jane couldn't help the smile that crossed her lips. As she let her hands slowly start to knead the breasts she considered for a moment that they were made specifically with her hands in mind. The fit was perfect. "If you insist," she shot back as she again captured the lips of the ME for another passionate kiss. She moved the ME backwards enough that Maura practically fell onto the bed.

Jane pulled herself away from Maura only long enough to quickly discard herself of her shirt and sports bra which she added to the pile of clothes accumulating on the floor. Wasting no further time, Jane hovered over Maura and again went in for a passionate kiss. She let Maura settle onto the bed as they kissed. Breaking away from Maura's lips Jane worked her way across the ME's chin and started to caress her lips against Maura's neck. She worked over Maura's pulse point for a few moments but eventually making her way up towards an awaiting earlobe.

She heard the hitch in Maura's breath when she sucked the earlobe into her mouth. She had discovered that this was a particularly sensitive area for Maura. One in which she had no problems working over to help build on Maura's anticipation. The sounds she found she could get from the ME with just attention paid to this part of her body were sounds she wouldn't mind causing as often as possible.

As she worked over Maura's neck and earlobe, she let her hand move down towards Maura's pants. She fumbled just a little as her other hand was still needed to help keep her propped up above the doctor but she managed to undo the button and zipper on Maura's slacks without having to break away from what her lips were still occupying themselves with. Before she finished her attempt to remove the ME from her remaining clothes, Jane used her own feet to push off her sneakers letting the shoes fall to the floor without caring where they landed.

Jane left the neck area and worked her lips across Maura's clavicle and then down towards her breasts. Turning her attention to them, Jane slowly traced a hardened nipple with just the tip of her tongue. She loved the taste of Maura's skin. It was like nothing she had ever tasted before. It was simply Maura. As she continued to trace a tiny circular pattern with her tongue she knew she wanted more. Needed more.

So she took more. She wrapped her lips around the nipple and took it in. This combined with the action of her still active tongue elicited a deep moan from the ME. Jane let her hand start to massage Maura's other breast not wanting to neglect any part of her body.

Maura's second moan was a bit louder and full of her growing desire. "Please," she uttered. While she loved the feel of Jane's lips anywhere on her body, she wanted more. As far as she was concerned they both still had too much on and that needed to change. She managed to work Jane out of her shorts and panties finding that it was the most she seemed to be able to contribute at the moment. But getting the detective naked was quite a contribution.

Jane took Maura's hint letting her hand leave the breast she had been fondling and she worked it down towards the already loosened pants. She hooked a thumb under both Maura's pants and panties and started to work them down past her hips and pushed them down past her knees. Once that was achieved, it didn't take much for Maura to wiggle her legs just enough for gravity to handle the rest of her disrobement. They both released a sigh as their naked bodies pressed against each other for the first time that night.

Jane had continued sucking on Maura's breast as she had helped Maura out of her clothes. She hadn't wanted to pull her lips away from Maura's body. The most she did was move over to the other breast to begin her assault on an equally hardened nipple. She lingered over Maura's breast for a bit longer before slowly continuing her way down Maura's body.

She kissed her way around Maura's abs and let the tip of her tongue dip into her belly button. The action caused Maura to giggle just a bit. "Jane please," she uttered again as the giggle quickly left her and was replaced by sheer need. Jane was closer to what she needed but not close enough for Maura to get what she wanted.

Jane let her hand gently trace patterns up Maura's inner thigh stroking up and down but avoiding what she knew Maura wanted. It was a little mean to tease but she just couldn't help it. She was reducing the normally stoic medical examiner to a quivering mess and she loved that she had that kind of effect on her. "Please what?" Jane asked in between kisses as her mouth still trailed agonizingly slowly downward and across Maura's skin.

"I need you," Maura stammered. Her breathing was rapid and shallow and the combination of Jane's lips and fingertips were like electrical currents running through her entire body. Never in her life had she been as affected by someone's touch as she was by Jane's. Her body flushed with a burning desire anywhere the detective chose to touch her.

"You have me," Jane gently pointed out. She was slowly bringing her lips and fingers to where she knew Maura wanted her and to where she desperately wanted to be.

"Not where I need you," Maura hissed as Jane's fingertip casually grazed across Maura's outer lips. The action was just enough for Maura to want more and just enough for Jane to feel just how wet, how ready Maura truly was.

Jane started kissing Maura's inner thighs. Drawing out the want as much as she could although just the smell of Maura's arousal was becoming enough to test Jane's will in the continuation of her teasing. "And where would that be Doctor?" Jane asked in between kisses on the thighs.

Before Maura could answer, Jane let her lips brush over Maura's outer lips. But when Maura's hips bucked towards the contact Jane backed away. Maura groaned at the teasing. She couldn't take much more of it. "Jane," she said in desperation.

"Where Maura?" Jane asked once again. She was determined to withhold her final assault on the doctor until she got the answer she was seeking.

As Maura was about to answer Jane gave in partially as she sucked Maura's clit into her mouth.

"Oh God," gasped Maura as she clearly wasn't expecting Jane to do that yet. She arched herself into Jane's talented mouth and tightened her grip on the bed sheets.

Jane worked over Maura's clit between her lips and with her tongue. She knew the effect she was having on the ME whose breath was getting more and more labored. "Where…?" Jane whispered as she let her tongue swirl over the delicate skin now at the center of her attention.

Maura knew Jane wouldn't give in on the last part of this without an answer but she was struggling to put a coherent string of words together. The feel of Jane's mouth seeming all over her was pushing her to the edge. Somewhere in her mind she knew without an answer Jane wouldn't let her fall over that edge so she mustered up the last of her reserve and stuttered out the answer Jane was waiting for.

"In...Inside me….," she gasped. "Please."

That's all Jane needed to hear. She continued to work over Maura's clit with her mouth but she finally inserted two fingers into her waiting and wanting core.

"God Jane," Maura gasped in both desire and relief finally getting from the detective everything she had wanted in that moment.

Jane started to work up a decent rhythm pushing in and pulling out of Maura all the while still letting her tongue work its magic. Maura's breathing started to become erratic and her moans grew louder and louder. Her hips were starting to jerk randomly and Jane had to press down with a little more body weight in order to hold the doctor still. Feeling Maura's reactions to her assault Jane picked up her pace now determined to push Maura over the edge. She started to curl her fingers as she pulled out adding to Maura's pleasure.

It only took a matter a minutes before Jane felt Maura's inner walls begin to tighten. Maura now had a death grip on the bed sheets and was unable to utter even a single word. Jane couldn't help the pride she felt knowing she was the cause of Maura's current state of pleasure.

Two more strokes and Maura crashed letting her orgasm wash through her. Jane pulled back and slowed her strokes but didn't stop them. She wanted the pleasure to last as long as possible. She tightened her hold around the shaking ME's body and just held her close. She loved the feeling of Maura's body pressed against hers.

As Maura came down she tried to slow her breathing. "That was…." she started and stopped for a minute still trying to catch her breath. "God Jane that was..." She paused again still not quite able to form the words she wanted in that moment.

Jane giggled. "Have I rendered you speechless?" she asked in a teasing tone.

Maura giggled and sighed a most contented sigh. She was unable to truly find the right words to describe what she was feeling. So instead, she had a better idea. "Why don't I just show you instead," she said with a seductive smile and before Jane could respond Maura managed to flip their positions so she was now hovering above the detective.

Jane started to snicker again having been taken a bit by surprise by Maura's sudden moves. Not that she was complaining. Who in their right mind would complain about finding themselves underneath the beautiful ME?

Maura leaned down and captured Jane's lips with her own. She started the kiss with a slow, deliberate pace but it quickly grew in want and intensity. She ran her tongue across Jane's bottom lip and entrance was immediately granted. A duel for dominance soon started and Maura seemed unwilling to yield any sort of control to the detective. She had had her turn. Now it was Maura's time to be in control.

She wanted to take her time. To tease Jane as much as Jane teased her. It would serve the woman right. Turnabout was fair play after all. But as it turned out, she just didn't have the patience for a long tease.

Instead, as their lips and tongues still worked against each other in a heated exchange, Maura slid her hand down and she ran her fingers through Jane's center. She felt the heat and wetness waiting for her and it was clear that Jane had worked herself up quite a bit working Maura over.

Jane felt Maura's hand and tried to arch her hips into the touch. She had been afraid Maura would go slowly considering that she had just teased the hell out of the woman but it appeared as if Maura was going to show her some mercy.

Maura stroked Jane's outer lips gently without committing to any more deliberate touches. She broke off the kiss they had been sharing and both ladies struggled a little to catch their breath. She leaned down and decided to play similar attention to Jane's breasts as was paid to her own. She captured a hardened nipple between her teeth and bit down gently.

"Oh God," Jane uttered as soon as Maura bit down. There was a fine line between pain and pleasure and Maura seemed to know exactly how to flirt with that line.

Maura let her tongue circle and sooth Jane's nipple all the while letting her fingers find and slowly circle around Jane's clit. Slow but deliberate circles with just enough pressure to work Jane up into a frenzy.

Labored breath, arching hips and throaty moans all indicated to Maura that Jane wasn't going to last much longer. She had a feeling she could bring Jane to climax just by continuing what she was doing but she wanted to give Jane more. So she rotated her hand and let her thumb continue the circular rotation around Jane's clit and while she let two fingers slowly enter Jane.

"Maur….." Jane gasped feeling Maura enter her.

Maura would have commented but her mouth was still busy working all over Jane's chest. She let that occupy her. She needed to concentrate on creating a rhythm with her fingers and her thumb as that was more difficult than what she thought when she first tried it. It wasn't a perfect ministration but it certainly was working on Jane.

Maura could tell by Jane's breathing she wasn't going to last much longer. She released Jane's breast from her mouth and with the last few strokes she knew she would need to finish off Jane she concentrated on her fingers and curling them inside knowing this would break Jane.

She was right as within a few strokes she felt Jane's inner walls tighten and Jane's breath hitch. Jane noiselessly reached her peak and let the release wash over her. Maura couldn't help but admire Jane's reaction. She found it amazing to watch Jane go from completely worked up and tense to completely relaxed and content in just a matter of moments. Jane didn't experience too many moments of pure bliss but over the last several weeks Maura had been the reason Jane was able to enjoy the few she truly had.

Breathless, Jane attempted to speak but really couldn't.

Maura giggled. "Not as easy when you are on the receiving end, is it detective?" she teased. They both struggled with coherent conversation in moments of post coital bliss.

It took a few moments but Jane could finally reply. "Not when you do that to me, no."

They both shared a small laugh as Jane pulled Maura into her. She just wanted to hold the woman she loved. "I love you," she whispered.

Maura snuggled in close letting her head rest on Jane's shoulder. "No more than I love you," she replied.

They both knew they had things they needed to talk about, especially now, but they knew they had time to just enjoy each other for a little while longer.

The drama that had overtaken their lives could wait. For now, each held onto the woman she loved and that was all they needed for the moment.
