Author's Notes: Beta's by the wonderful LauratheChef
It didn't feel like anything at first. Just a pair of lips pressed together. One hand on the beautiful face, the other on the shoulder. Two bodies far too close, joined at the waist. The five second kiss registered mechanically to Maura. No romantic music, no dramatic lead up, no zoom and slow motion. It wasn't as magical as the promises of what New Year's kisses should be. So after what she guessed was an appropriate number of time, she separated from Jane and opened her eyes. Her vision came to focus and there staring back at her was a very shocked Jane Rizzoli.
"You kissed me..." The brunette said silently.
The cries of the people around them dulled the sound and she couldn't quite make it out. "What was that, Jane?"
"You... kissed... me..."
This time she did and Maura smiled. Mechanical or not, it was still pleasant. Jane was a good kisser even though she was startled and Maura felt like how she thought she would feel when they finally kissed, giddy. "I did." She said proudly. "You have very soft lips, Jane. I like them a lot."
"You kissed..." Jane shook her head and then only noticed that Maura's hand travelled from her cheek to around her neck. Maura saw her eye line and stepped closer, eliminating all space between them. "You're hugging me Maura and you kissed me."
Never has she seen Jane this flabbergasted. "I did. You're a very good kisser." More silence followed and it clicked that maybe it was just her that enjoyed it. "Oh my god, Jane, I'm so sorry, I thought it was…Well, for the first time in my life I can actually say I didn't think and just acted. I'm sorry I assaulted you, Jane- "
"Assaulted? Maura; Well, yes but- "
Maura stepped back. "I would take it back if I could. This is why I never act unless I'm absolutely sure. I'm so sorry."
Jane forcefully popped her haze and finally caught up with her feelings. The kiss made her realize something. Something buried deep under a slew of fears. As they stood at the ballroom, looking at each other and ignoring the celebration that was happening, Jane felt like it didn't really matter. They were both miles away from everyone that cares and right now, if Jane was to be honest with herself; she wouldn't care if they were. Something was speaking louder than hate, speaking louder than fear. Her heart beat picked up and after everything else muted, it was the only thing she could hear. Jane listened.
"I'm going to kiss you again, Maura."
Maura's world was spinning and it slowly halted to a stop. "What?"
Jane took the trembling blonde's hand and tugged her closer, their bodies colliding softly. "I'm going to kiss you again. Tell me it's okay."
The blonde blinked. She heard it clearly, the movement of the mouth matched the sound and the words but in a freak occurrence, she still didn't understand. "Why?"
"Because I've been wanting to since I met you."
She gasped. Something settled in her that lit her body on fire. That little push that she had earlier doubled and there wasn't anything left to do but to nod.
Jane held Maura's face, smoothing down her cheeks before swooping in and kissing her just as hard.
What was formerly just a simple case of going through the motions became alive. They felt as if they were buds that just blossomed into being a rose, breathing in air and exhaling life. Both opened and willing, the second touch of their lips was electric. Shivers plagued their bodies as their lips slipped against one another, enjoying the natural fit they both had, like they were two missing pieces in a puzzle. Maura's hands went to its former position but now clawed unabashedly at the tapered waist, intent on getting them much closer.
Jane took a little reprieve, inhaling slyly before diving back in again. Her lips pried Maura's open and it didn't take much before they groaned at feeling each other's tongues. It was indecent but they couldn't really silence themselves and banked on that they would be drowned out by the environment. They were both eager, both curious, both probing. Their tongues mapped and tasted each other while their hands expelled the pent up pleasure. Dents from fingernails were for sure to appear on the bodice satin dress worn by Jane but Maura didn't care. For the way Jane's making her body buzz, she'll buy a hundred more.
They were nearing the end of their breaths when Maura slowed down the kiss and capped it off with three successive pecks. Keeping their foreheads connected, they started to giggle.
Just before Jane went into full blown laughter, Maura kissed her again softly. "Jane, I..." She bit her lip.
"I want to kiss you more. I don't ever want to stop. I don't even know how I wasn't even kissing you every chance I got. I- "
Maura nodded. "I know." Jane was openly gazing at her lips so she leaned forward again, kissing her best friend as much as her heart desired. What were once just far off fantasies were exchanged for complete indulgence.
"I want to say it." Jane uttered.
Fingers threaded to the black tresses as Maura titled her head up to whisper. "Say it."
They looked deep in each other's eyes. "I lov-Oh!"
Another couple was already dancing and bumped into them. The couple immediately threw an apology their way before going back, as if nothing happened. Maura then took a look around and everyone was doing the same. The soft music has been exchanged to one with a heavy beat, causing people to dance like animals. The magic was slowly fading and Maura wants to hold on to it as long as possible.
"Jane, maybe we should leave. I don't feel like listening to music that sounds a lot like a nicer version of the garbage disposal."
Jane tucked her head in Maura's neck before she laughed wholeheartedly.
"Also, I do want to kiss you again. Over and over again." A slow seductive smile spread on her face.
Maura's hand sought the Detective's. "Let's go."

They were only able to contain themselves in the presence of other people. As soon as they were in the room, Jane pushed Maura to the door and kissed her again. The growing passion they had from just a couple minutes earlier only blossomed even with the lull.
Maura gripped on the long neck of the Detective, needing something to anchor her to not drown with the intensity of their kiss. The good turned to great as Jane proved just how much skills she had. She felt a hand squeezing her waist as Jane trapped her tongue in her lips and started sucking it sensually, slurping sounds present that only escalated the move. Her knees weakened as her lithe body was attacked with different sensations coming from different places. "Jane..." She husked when they both came up for air. Jane's was for only a second as she transferred to the neck and shoulder. "God..."
The thin lips painted the shoulder first, biting whenever possible and sinking her teeth down on the juncture with the neck. Maura's hips bucked to her and her hands fell to her waist.
"Jane... Oh..."
She went up and licked the ridges of the ear, blowing some air and getting a moan out of Maura.
"What... are you doing to me..."
"I'm kissing your ear." She sucked around the earlobe next, avoiding the sparkling earring.
"I'm going to... fall... take me to bed..."
Jane pulled back and started to stammer. "I.. I know what you mean but- "
Maura laid her head against the wood. "We can just keep kissing but I need... I need to be at least sitting."
"I... want... to but only if you want to. I respect you too much."
Somewhat recovered, Maura took off her heels one at a time. "I want to."
Jane blinked a couple of times. Maura's hair was a bit unruly and her just fucked look was promising. The Detective also took off her heels and took Maura's hands tightly as they walked deeper. Quietly, they made it to Maura's room and the door was closed. Both got to the foot of the bed and faced each other.
"Jane- "
"Maura- "
A soft laugh erupted.
As it died, Jane took charge by closing the distance between the two of them and wrapping her arms around Maura's waist. "I love you. I'm in love with you, Maura. I have been for a long time. I had no troubles differentiating between my love for your as my best friend and my love for you as something else because I think I've always thought of you as something else. I don't want to scare you with talks of the future just yet but I want you to know that I'm in this..." She smiled a little. "I'm in this."
Maura was a little teary eyed after that little speech. She returned the hug with her arms on Jane's relaxed shoulders. "I love you too. I love you so much. You're the only person who's ever really accepted me for who I am and I don't have to hide. Like you, I am in this as well. I want you. I want us."
They put their foreheads together and just took each other in for a couple moments. It was so different. The air after they both verbalized their deep seated feelings was different than before. It crept up on them and crashed, getting to them completely with their spontaneous kiss but it was a welcomed surprise.
"I love you." Jane said once more.
Maura sighed. "I love you too." She pecked Jane softly. Another. Then Jane kissed her back.
It was proven that no matter how many breaks they take, their passion for each other will come right back up once lit. Once again, they were kissing hard. Hair was pulled, skin was scratched and lips were bitten. Jane could barely control herself as she backed Maura to the bed. The back of her knees eventually hit the edge and she held on to Jane, asking silently to gently lay her down. They were so in tune that Jane immediately cradled the small of Maura's back and helped to get her in the middle of the Queen size bed without breaking their lips.
Moans filled the air as Jane let her hands play a little more with Maura's body. She started with the shoulders, then down to the arms, treating the skin as if a precious stone that's in danger of turning into dust. Her thumb got to the Doctor's pelvic bone and pressed on a random area.
"Mmm... Jane..." Maura lifted her hips, signalling something.
"I know, Maur... I know." She joked. She went further down and got to the smooth legs. She grinned against the peach lips when the automatic reaction was open them up as much as the fabric would afford. Jane slot herself in the space and the pressure against her centre made Maura cry out.
"Oh my god... honey, I'm-"
Jane switched, leaning now with her left and her right hand was suddenly free for more exploring. She went back to leg and ran her palms up. Just before she got to where Maura wanted her, she retreated and started the cycle again. More than once did this happen and with every almost attempt, Maura would lift her hips even higher.
"Jane... God, just... Take my panties off."
Jane was now sucking the tops of her breast that spilled out of the hem. "That's so hot." Instead of doing what was asked, she felt for the zipper of the dress.
"Side...side..."
She had a hard time finding it but the couple seconds of blatant groping was a great consolation. When her fingers finally found the pull tab, she dragged it down. The fabric opened and Jane gaped when she spotted some of Maura's breasts.
"Take it off, Jane." The Detective did the task silently, pealing the dress carefully. Maura came up a bit to slide the dress completely off and enjoyed the gobsmacked face of Jane. She was topless and was only left wearing a very tiny thong. 'Do you like what you see?' She asked coyly.
Perfectly round breasts topped with dark peach nipples. It was perfect. Jane hasn't even inspected the rest of the body but she knew it would be perfect as well. "Fuck, yeah."
"Take off my panties." Jane gulped and aimed at the flimsy material, but was stopped. "With your teeth."
"Fuck." She buried her head immediately to the Doctor's core, breathing in the unique scent. "Fuck, Maura..." She kissed the skin available a couple times before tugging the scrap down, stopping for a second when she saw Maura's shaven pussy. It was the first one she's seen in person but it was still the most beautiful. "Maura, you're fucking beautiful."
Her legs fell wide open, showing it even more. "Is that dried up to you, honey?"
Jane only shook her head no. Maura was so far from dried up when she was practically dripping wet.
"Jane, please undress. I want to see you."
In record time, she was stripped down to her birthday suit. Jane got on top of her and was magnetized to the perfect breast. She kissed the tops of them first before circling the nipple with her tongue. After getting the area wet, she sucked the nipple to her mouth and tongued the nub. Maura's back arched as she groaned.
"Fuck... fu…" Maura shut her eyes closed and slapped Jane's ass. This caused her to come down and their centres pushed together. "Oh god..."
Jane kept her mouth where it was but had to moan too. When well loved, she licked the valley in between and went to the cold one. She bit it first, trying the tactic to get it ready before she did her move.
Maura arched her back again and threaded her fingers in Jane's hair. "Jane... ungh... how? "She swallowed. "How are you so good at this?"
"I watch a lot of lesbian porn." She muttered quickly before diving back in.
"You're... hmmm... a natural... Fuck!" Maura cried out when Jane rolled her hips. Their angle was not the best but the effect was still there. She huffed like crazy and her nails made strong indentations on the soft but toned flesh. "Jane, jane, jane, oh my- "Her own hips met the movement and in no time, she was bucking into Jane like crazy. "Baby, I'm…"
Jane's ears perked up with the term of endearment. She put a little more force into her sucking, moved her lips up and let go, creating suction resulting in a huge pop.
The blonde's back hit the soft covers and stopped for a while. "Jane, I can't wait anymore, I want... I want you inside me."
She went up to Maura's face and kissed her first. "I'll try, okay? But we'll have more sex and I'm going to get better I promise."
Maura cradled her face. "Jane, I haven't had sex in a year. You can just touch me and I'm pretty sure I will come."
"Was that a guess?"
"You caught me." Maura kissed her again, making sure to lick what were now her favourite pair of lips. "Now, can you please fuck me, my love?"
