A/N: Thank you everyone for all the positive feedback on this third installment. Some of you lamented the cliffhanger I left you with, so here you go...Enjoy!
Jane had been stunned. She knew Maura was on a path to become an Admiral, something she had dreamt about since she was little, and Jane had been as encouraging as she could to support her love's dream. So far that had meant going to lots of formal dinners and parties and playing the supportive spouse, entertaining wives of powerful men in the chain of command that could make that happen. Jane hated these events but did them willingly because it made Maura happy. And they weren't completely selfless acts, as Maura would reward her for going with some really fantastic sex, bringing Jane to climax so many times that she would often pass out from exhaustion. Jane felt it was a fair trade.
However, it had never occurred to Jane that for Maura to really get to the next level, they would have to move. Well, somewhere in the back of Jane's head, she knew that all the Admiral positions were back East. Jane just had never thought the whole thing through.
And the issue wasn't the move, per se. Jane would follow Maura anywhere, even though she had grown to love their life in San Diego. Their house was in the perfect location, right on the cliffs of La Jolla, allowing them spectacular views and perfect weather. Jane would miss that for the DC winters and muggy summers. But Jane had grown up in Boston, she could handle the weather as long as she was with her love.
No, the real issue was that if Maura went to DC, that would effectively end Jane's career in the military. There were no assignments that Jane could take that would allow them to both go to DC. Jane had reached the point in her career that if she wanted to advance, she would have to take a desk job and that wasn't something she was interested in. Jane loved flying and she was damn good at it. They had named several maneuvers after her and her name would forever be in the history books both at Anapolis and at Top Gun.
Jane thought about if she was ready for her career to end now. In some ways she was. She was pushing 40, in a few years, and although she would never tell her mother this, Jane was really looking forward to having a family, well more of a family, that included kids. Jane had been thinking more and more lately that she wanted to be pregnant, to bring a little Rizzoli-Isles into the world. She wasn't sure how, as Maura was an only child, but Jane couldn't help envisioning a little honey blonde girl with Jane's eyes and Maura's brain running around. The desire to have a baby was getting stronger and stronger but she had yet to tell Maura. Jane wasn't sure why, maybe it was because of the whole Admiral thing, but Jane just hadn't found the right moment to tell her love what she wanted next for them.
They were still lying in the lounger, an awkward silence surrounding them since Maura had made her announcement. Jane hadn't said anything and Maura had eventually put her head back down on Jane's chest, giving a huff of frustration at the lack of a response from Jane. Jane knew she should say something but the big question was what exactly.
Breaking the silence, Jane rasped out, "when would you have to decide?" It wasn't her best response but it was the first thing that had slipped out of her mouth. Jane felt Maura sigh before she replied.
"Soon. Before the end of the week." Her tone was resolved, almost as if she had already given up on her dream. Jane would have none of that and knew she needed to step up to be the supportive partner that Maura needed.
"You should take it," Jane said definitively. She sat up a bit, urging Maura to follow her. Maura looked at Jane thoughtfully before asking, "are you sure? What about you?"
Jane steeled her expression and put on what she hoped was a reassuring smile. "Yes, I'm sure. This is your shot, Ice. I want you to take it. I will speak to my captain and see what can be worked out." Maura held her gaze for a few moments, attempting to see if Jane was being genuine. Jane allowed it, holding her features in place.
Maura broke out into a huge smile and tackled Jane. Jane fell back from the impact and chuckled as her wife enthusiastically kissed her, all over, before settling for a deep kiss, tongue exploring the reaches of Jane's mouth. She couldn't help but let out a moan of satisfaction that also signified her growing arousal.
Jane broke the kiss and husked out, "if you don't stop that right now, we are going to give those seagulls a show." Maura let out a deep bellied laugh and rolled off Jane, much to her disappointment. She didn't get to miss Maura for long because her hand was suddenly tugging at Jane to pull her from the chair.
"Come along, Mav. I want to show you just how happy I am right now," Maura purred seductively. Jane popped up gracelessly from the chair and allowed herself to be dragged back into the house. Feeling the need to be cheeky, Jane asked innocently, "but what about the laundry?"
Maura arched her brow at her while continuing their trek to their bedroom. "Don't think you are getting out of that. But, first, a reward for being the best wife a woman, I, could ever ask for," Maura replied sincerely. Jane felt her eyes prick with the beginning of tears but shook her head hard to banish them away. No tears now. Now, it was time to let Maura do one of the many things she did best: make Jane pass out from pleasure.
R&I
Maura was really giving it her all. Jane must have really made her very, very happy being the supportive wife Maura needed. The first orgasm had come so quickly that Jane was caught off guard. The second had followed almost just as briskly and Jane's body was a live wire of need and want and satisfaction.
"Wow, Ice!" Jane panted as she attempted to recover after the intense and sudden climaxes. Maura was still moving over her body, peppering kisses all over her slick skin. Her love just hummed as she continued to worship the expanse of olive skin at her disposal.
"You are wonderful, Mav, and it is my duty, as your wife, to let you know that I appreciate you." Maura looked up from where she had been kissing Jane's abs and beamed a lovely smile up at Jane. Jane reflected the bright smile right back and then gave a little yelp when Maura, without warning, slipped her hand up and twisted her pebbled nipple, hard. A loud moan followed as Maura continued her manipulation of her sensitive nubs.
"Don't think that I am anywhere near done with you yet," Maura purred as her lips captured a nipple and teased it with her teeth. Jane moaned and lost herself in the sensations of her very focused wife.
R&I
After Jane regained consciousness from her fourth intense orgasm, she realized that she was being spooned by her very naked wife. It wasn't often that Maura was the big spoon but it felt nice to be held like this, particularly after such a vigorous round of love making. Maura had indeed been very happy with Jane and Jane was going to need the week away from her love to recover.
That thought brought about a shroud of melancholy for Jane. She didn't really like being away from Maura, not one bit. And when Maura moved to DC, they would inevitably be separated for long stretches of time. That was unless Jane was really ready to leave her military career. There was a battle going on within Jane between her pride and her biological clock. She enjoyed being the badass fighter pilot who everyone looked up to and Jane wasn't sure if she was ready to give that up just yet.
On the other hand though, Jane smiled longingly, the thought of holding a mini version of both she and Maura in her arms reached a part of her soul she had long ignored. Jane never had wanted to admit that she wanted a baby but lately that's all she could think about, especially when Maura would do something particularly adorable and Jane could see that gesture or look in a tiny little girl. Jane sighed, conflicted on what to do.
"I can hear you thinking Mav, and since it's such a rare occurrence, it is particularly loud," Maura's sleep laden voice reached Jane's ear from behind her. Jane reached back to swat at Maura's backside, eliciting a little squeak, followed by a soft moan. Jane felt her well used center clench despite the many rounds of orgasms. She had temporarily forgotten how much Maura liked to be spanked. It was a particular kink that she loved discovering about her icy lover early in their courtship and had exploited on many occasions throughout their married life.
"You deserved that, although you don't deserve anymore after that mean-spirited comment," Jane said, pouting. She knew Maura could hear the petulance in her voice when she felt her wife giggling against her back. Maura's hand that had been resting on her stomach during their nap started to move lower, its destination obvious to Jane when Maura spoke.
"I know of a way I can make it up to you," Maura husked into her ear, her warm breath stroking Jane's already lit desire. Jane took Maura's hand gently into hers, intertwining their fingers as she stopped their descent.
"As much as I would love that, my love, you have successfully fucked me sideways." Jane brought the hand up to her lips so she could kiss it, placing it snuggly against her chest, essentially pinning Maura to her back. "I just wanted to cuddle with you before I have to get up and finish my chores and pack," Jane said wistfully, already dreading the activities that needed to be completed that would take her away from Maura.
Maura settled down behind her, tightening her hold on Jane possessively. "Ok love, but please, tell me what has you thinking so hard." She hesitated before her next words were spoken softly, "you haven't changed your mind about DC, have you?"
Jane didn't like the fear that was evident in her love's voice and so she turned around in Maura's arms and looked her wife deep in the eye, wanting her reassurances to be taken seriously.
"No Maur, I haven't changed my mind. I am just thinking about what's next for me. My 20 is up in a few months and I'm not sure what makes sense. I want you to succeed and achieve everything you have ever wanted." Jane paused to give Maura a chaste kiss on her swollen lips, moaning slightly after tasting herself still on her wife's lips.
"But, aside from being a badass pilot, I never really planned out my future like you did. I'm realizing that I have a lot to think about as far as what the next chapter for me looks like." Jane held Maura's gaze, watching as her wife took in her words.
Maura looked up at Jane through her lashes and the insecurity present there made Jane gasp. "That next chapter still includes me though, right?" Maura asked tentatively. Jane pulled her love into her arms and held her tightly as she replied.
"Always and forever. No matter what happens next Maur, you will always be my future," Jane heartened, pulling back to give her love a heated kiss. Maura returned the kiss with just as much passion and soon was on top of Jane pinning her down with her hips that were starting a slow, rhythmic grinding against her own.
Jane broke the kiss, stiling Maura's movements with her firm grip on shapely hips. "Still too sensitive, babe. I wasn't kidding about being thoroughly fucked." Maura smiled down at her with such a smug grin that Jane felt like she needed to wipe if off that gorgeous face. Moving her hands to grab both of Maura's firm cheeks in her hands, Jane flipped them over quickly, moving with cheetah speed to pin Maura down by her wrists. Maura's blown pupils let Jane know that Maura was really appreciating the change in direction.
"However," Jane purred softly, "that doesn't mean that I can't get you to my level, does it, Ice?" Jane smirked as Maura shook her head vehemently. "Excellent, now I think it's time I left you remembering me for the next week." Jane leered at Maura as she reached for the discarded toy that Maura had used expertly not that long ago. As Maura nodded her head excitedly, Jane smiled. God, she loved her life.
