I was adding the shallots when I heard the familiar low hum of Maura's car. Shit, shit, shit! I thought I had enough time! She's got here so fast, maybe I shouldn't have taunted that I would start without her. I looked down and I saw that I was a mess. This wasn't the celebration that I had planned in mind. I sighed as I threw in the mushrooms and hoped that she walks in slow motion, enough to at least let me finish this damn meal.

'Jane?'

That was two minutes, max. The mushroom hasn't even sweated and she was already in the house. Of course, my life doesn't work like that. She might have followed the scent because soon enough, I heard the sound of her heels coming towards me. I dusted some of the flour on skirt and tried to rub the sauce of of my face. Great, the lipstick is gone. I look like a fucking corpse now.

'Jane, there you are...'

I looked back and saw a very fresh looking Maura Isles. Perfect hair, perfect make up, perfect outfit. The woman spent the entire day giving out and grading tests but she still looked like she was fresh off a Paris catwalk. That doesn't do anything for how I feel about how I look right now, I tell you. 'You weren't supposed to see this part but I'm gonna clean up I promise. I should've asked to use your kitchen but I wanted to surprise you, please don't be mad. I just really wanted to cook you a good meal... Please say you're not mad, I'm sorry.'

Maura approached me with a smile on her face. I was so nervous but that's a good thing, right? A smile's a good thing? God, I hope we don't break up over this. I had good intentions. 'Do not apologize, Jane. This was incredibly sweet of you.' She looked straight at me and seemed like she could care less that I desecrated her pristine kitchen.

'Okay...' I smiled dumbly as she wrapped her arms around my neck. I took off my heels and she was wearing hers so it put us leveled. 'I was worried you'd get mad. I didn't break anything.'

'I'm not mad, I promise you.' She moved forward to kiss but pulled back just before our lips touched. 'I can kiss you now, correct? There are no more prying eyes. I can fully.. kiss you now, right?'

'Yes, you-' I smelled the mushroom and the dish needed the Marsala wine now. 'I actually need to put in the wine.' I settled for a quick peck before I stepped out of the hug.

Maura sighed loudly before she crossed her arms. 'I feel like you're purposely not kissing me, Jane.'

She was teasing, I know. Maura likes to do that so I just went along with the gig. 'Yes, Maura, I'm not kissing you. It's such a chore to kiss you-Ouch! Babe?!' Did she really just slap my butt? That was actually painful and I had to put down the wine before I spill it everywhere. I heard her giggle and I turned around. 'Babe, that was really painful...'

'Oh, I'm sorry, darling.' She rubbed my ass and I grinned at her while I continued cooking. 'Do you need any help?'

The Marsala wine was poured and the next to go was chicken stock. 'No babe, I'm good. I just need to butter the pan next and add the parsley and then we're done. Had you been at school for thirty minutes more, you would've come home to a delicious looking meal and a delicious looking girlfriend.'

I felt Maura move to my back and pull my hair to the side. 'You always look delicious to me, Jane.'

I closed my eyes when I felt her lips on my nape and suddenly I'm not interested in finishing what I was cooking anymore. The surprise failed anyway and the way she was kissing me was shutting my brain down. God, her lips are so soft. Those pillowly magical things moved to neck and I had to crane my head up so I can enjoy more of it. I was slowly moving to a trance and my body started to sag. 'Maura... I... That's... So good...' She held my waist with one hand and moved a little further until I felt her breast press against me. That's my favorite part of being the smaller spoon and I kind of wish she was naked right now cause trust me, feeling her hard nipples on my back was fantastic. I know, I know, I'm the taller one so I should be the bigger spoon but she likes it and from what I've just said, I would never say no to that. 'God, I missed you so much, Maura...'

'I'm here now darling, what do you want to do?' She jutted her hips forward and I collided with the hard edge of the marble island. I shamelessly moaned.

'Fuck...' Could I maybe kill the fire and go back? I want nothing more than to...'Fuck...' Oh, teeth. Always a good thing. I was on my way to facing her and go straight to her bedroom when I heard that familiar sizzle from the pan. I need to butter it up before it completely dries out. 'Maura, I need to...'

'Fuck me? Yes, you d-'

'Butter the pan.'

Maura hummed. 'Well, if you wanna put it that way...'

I grabbed the butter and my movement caused her realize that I really didn't mean her pan. Maura sighed once more before she stepped away from me. I saw her stand next to one of the high chairs and roll her eyes. 'I'm sorry, Maur, This will be quick, I promise. Five minutes tops and we'll eat.'

'Alright, I'll prepare the table.'

'No, babe, it's fine. I'll do it-'

'No, just finish your meal. I'll be back.' She walked away and I looked at her butt. That was always the best part. I focused on finishing the meal when she finally out of my eye sight. After I buttered the pan, I added the parsley and transferred it to plates, topping it with fried sage leaves. I made it as fancy as I can with the plating and with using a spoon to drip the sauce. It was comfort food basically but that doesn't mean I can't make it look nice. All the ingredients boiled down to four servings and after I had finished my masterpiece, I worked on getting myself a little more presentable.

The dress was a mess. There was no way I could clean it up in time so I just gave up on it. Thank God, I dropped everything in the kitchen so I didn't have to walk out and see her while I get my over night bag. I went to the bathroom in the kitchen, yes there is one and changed to a tank top and shorts. I planned to touch up my make up but it already looked all smeared and right now, a shower would just be the only saviour so I just took it all off with a cleansing wipe. My hair was the only thing salvageable and I fluffed it up as much as I can, getting some volume in there. The last thing I did was to spritz some cologne before I went back out and made some drinks. I grabbed Maura's Pinot Grigio and I made myself an ice tea. Everything was put into a tray that I carried out very carefully. I was already barefoot but if I tripped while, I might just give up on life altogether. Nothing would be more embarrassing.

Maura's house was too big that the kitchen was a bit of a walk from the dining room. It was on the end of the hallway and when I looked up I saw that the lights were turned off. Okay... That's weird. We usually eat in there if we're not eating on her bed and the lights are almost always on. Maybe she's still changing into something? Whatever the reason was, I just continued and entered the room. Nothing was prepared and Maura wasn't even in. What the hell?

'Maura...?' I checked outside of the dining room and the only room that had a light streaming from the little sliver on the door was her study. Maybe she's getting some work done? I opened it and saw that she's just lit the last candle on a row in front of the fireplace. She was wearing... the exact thing I'm wearing. Well, almost because she was wearing yoga pants. Is this a lesbian thing? Unconscious coordinating of your clothes? 'Babe, I thought...'

'Good. You're wearing something a little more comfortable.' Maura faced me and pointed to the little table in front of the fireplace. 'I thought we'd have dinner here. That dining table is so formal and I would like to be able to kiss you while eating. Let's get to it, shall we?' That's true. Every time we eat on that table I feel like I'm imprisoned with Hermes scarves and the Queen was coming to join us. Eating here is a lot more cozy. I sat down the food on the table and I heard a noise of approval when Maura saw the wine. 'My favorite wine just happens to perfectly match the meal you cooked?'

I sat down next to her and unfolded the utensils. 'How lucky am I that the only meal that I know to cook matches your wine, huh?'

Maura laid her head on my shoulder before she whispered. 'How lucky am I that you're my girlfriend...?'

'Babe, I'm luckier that I have you.'

I cut up the food and stabbed one part with a fork, lifting it to Maura who ate it without hesitation. My girlfriend moaned when she got a full taste and swallowed. Score! Maura likes it. I'm gonna have to learn more food to cook just to hear that moan once again. Maybe I would finally ask Ma to teach me, I'm sure she's gonna be thrilled.

'It's so good, Jane. Thank you for cooking it for me.' She cupped my cheek and turned my head to kiss me. I could immediately detect the savory favor of my meal and on her lips, it's so much better. I kissed her further, opening my mouth a bit before I used my tongue to get a better taste and she did too. Kissing her fully felt like I had been stuck on a dessert far too long and she was the oasis. She fills what's missing from, she makes me whole, all that kind of corny stuff but it was real. She slowed down the kiss and eventually ended it with a couple of pecks and the one to my cheek.

'You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. It's the only think I can make.'

Maura ate another slice and fed me one to. 'Is that so? Well, I could teach you a few things. Just say the word.'

I took the ice tea and gulped a couple sips down. I found myself with a dry throat and it's not just from eating. We were still so close and she has that effect on me. 'I would love to, cooking is very sexy. Plus, I love cooking for you. I love doing a lot of stuff for you.' I casually laid my arm on Maura's shoulder and she just leaned further to me. I also kissed the top of her head. Yes, yes, yes, we're too sweet, we'll get ants soon. Maura reached for her glass after a particularly downing a particularly large piece. 'Mmm.. I love the mix of sage in this. It's fantastic.'

'You can thank my great grandmother for that. The recipe came from her. I would always watch her cook it and I eventually I was able to do it on my own. Nonna was such a wonderful cook, I'm surprised I'm so thin.'

Maura giggled at that. 'You've gained a little weight darling but I'm definitely okay with that.' She pulled the fabric in between my cleavage and looked down my shirt. 'Definitely don't mind.' My boobs gained a little fat too and like my girlfriend, I don't mind.

'I'm sure you do.'

'I'm not saying I didn't like what you looked like before but you fill your clothes a lot better now... I'm surprised you're not batting away suitors...' There was a slight edge to her tone once more and just like that jealous Maura is back. Oh right, not jealous Maura.

'There are no other suitors, Maur. Not a one. And if there was, I would shut them down completely. I only want you.' I said reassuringly as I hugged her tighter. From time to time, I feel this way about our relationship too so it was just right that I reassure her of how I feel. If I had to do it for the rest of my life, I'm okay with that.

I saw her cringe. 'I'm sorry, darling. You must think I'm a total nut ball because I sound so jealous all the time.'

'Oh? I thought you weren't jealous?' I joked. I like messing with her sometimes. She pinched my side and I laughed. 'Hey, hey, no pinching!'

'You would be surprised to hear but it's been a long time since I had a girlfriend. It's been years and I somewhat forgot what it's like, especially something as volatile as this.'

That made me look at her seriously. 'Maura...'

'The reason why I'm so perfect all the time is because I don't want to spook you off...' She moved away from me and the look on her face crushed my heart. It looks like she's been holding out a lot from me and granted that we've only been together for three weeks but it still twisted my heart that she has all these emotions bottled up. 'I'm 28, you're 19 and you were my student and it sounds like a recipe for disaster even early on but I still went to your room and had sex with you...' She closed her eyes and composed herself with a deep breath.

She was spinning out so I cradled her face and gave her a reassuring kiss. I let our lips linger but I never pushed it past passionate. I needed her to feel how strongly I felt towards her. The rigid shoulders eventually came down and she kissed me back. 'You're my first girlfriend, Maura. You're the only one who was attracted to me, firstly...' That made her chuckle and I countered it with a grin. 'You actually listen when I talk secondly, you watch Friends with me, you cook me food, and you treat me like no one else. You're funny, you're gorgeous, you're so smart and you motivate me to be better everyday. How did you think I got straight As on your class? I wanted to impress you.' She got a little red on the cheeks and I almost punched the air. 'I don't care that you're my professor, that you're 9 years older than me, I don't care about all that. I just want you. All of you. Okay?'

She nodded and hide her face a bit on my neck, probably from the darkening blush. I felt a kiss on my neck and that was her version of saying all she wanted at the moment. Was it a little overwhelming? Probably. But there's also no such thing as over reassurance so I'm going with it.

'Don't be afraid to be yourself with me, Maura. I don't care if you're a nut ball. You're my nut ball.'

Maura looked up at me gave me another kiss. 'Thank you...'

'No need to thank me, babe. I'm glad to do it. I'm proud to have you as my girlfriend. Really. I sometimes remind myself that I get to sleep on your boobs and I'll be okay that rest of the day.'

She pinched me once again and this time I was expecting it. 'What? I love your boobs- Oh, breasts, right. You're all lady like after all.'

'You're impossible.' She picked up the plate and cut another slice, deciding that the conversation was over and to be filed with. 'Let's continue eating this fantastic food you prepared for me.'

'Don't have to tell me twice.'

The rest of the dinner went a lot better. She was indeed a little less rigid than before and I loved seeing this side of her. Really, I love all of her sides but being with uptight Maura makes me feel like I was walking on eggshells. Don't tell her I told you that. We talked and watched the fire burn after the food was done with. What did we talk about? Mundane topics. But how ever dull it was, when it came from Maura, it still sounded interesting. She has that power.

My girlfriend was still on my side and I hand an arm around me. It was surprising that we can stay this long connected and not try to touch each other that will lead to something else. Just basking in each other's presence was enough for us. We occasionally laughed, sometimes from her unintentional jokes, other times from me teasing her about the unintentional jokes. Seriously, you have to hear Maura. She's naturally hilarious.

When I noticed that all the wine was gone, I asked her if she wanted more. She declined, saying she didn't want to be get even tipsy. I picked up everything that was used instead and washed it in the kitchen. She offered to clean it up of course because she's so polite it hurts, but I couldn't let her clean my shit so I did it myself. I guess I was so busy that I didn't even notice that there was a tub of gelato that Giovanni sneaked in the plastic bag. Glad I chucked it all on the refrigerator so it's at least chilled.

I did not let that go to waste and I scooped some on to a bowl. I entered the room and I saw her on the couch. The couch was not like the one of her office, thank god. I opened my legs and trapped Maura in them, smiling as I showed her what I have brought for dessert.

'And what's that?' Maura was reading some medical journal that she told me she just had to read. Pfft. I can fix that.

'This gelato is a mix of chocolate and hazelnut that's called Bacio. It means kiss.' Maura dropped the medical journal on the floor and turned fully to me. See? I told you. Jane – 1 , Medical Journal – 0. She took the spoon and scooped a good amount to taste. 'Good?'

'Good... How do you know everything that I want?'

I shrugged and acted as cool as can be. 'I don't know, I just do.'

She inched closer to me and was one leg over the other away from getting in a scissor position. This is posing to be a good thing. 'You just do.' She scooped another and acted as if she was feeding me but smeared it on my chin as soon as I opened my mouth.

'Well, that's just wasteful, Maura.'

'I'm going to clean it up, Jane. Hold still.' True to her word, Maura took my jaw and forced my face closer to hers. She started with a little peck on the side my lips, a kiss on my cupids bow then a full pledge lick. Thank God, I don't have make up anymore because when Maura said that she was gonna clean up, she really did. I am well aware of what her tongue can do and she once again prove her talents as she got every little bit of gelato on my face. Maura's final move a brief kiss on my lips and a smile. 'The gelato's good.'

I laughed, totally amused and a little wet. 'Glad you think so. Now can I have some please?' She nodded and did feed me a scoop this time. This flavor screams of childhood for me but i'll remember it for something completely different now. She fed me another scoop before taking the cup from me and eating some herself. She turned the spoon downwards and looked at me as she pulled it out very very slowly. I felt like I was suddenly starring in a movie named, Tease Becomes Her cause... holy shit, it does.

The spoon was stabbed back to the bowl and she tilted her head back slightly and moaned. 'Correction, the gelato was very good...'

'You're gonna kill me someday, you know that right?' She actually does. Every single time. And it's not just me, everyone knows it. Maura is walking sex.

She looked at me innocently. 'What ever do you mean, darling?'

I took the dessert from her and ate a couple bites to finish it already. I genuinely wanted to enjoy the dessert but Maura's teasing made me crave something else. We have been teasing each other all day, I think it's time we finally do what we obviously both want. Maura watched me in rapture as I downed the remaining and almost get a brain freeze. What I just ate was definitely more than the recommended calorie intake but we're both gonna burn it all night I'm sure. I placed the bowl on the side table before I looked at my girlfriend again.

'I thought that was for me?'

'It was.. but you were making all these sounds and it's making me horny, sorry..'

She raised a perfectly arched eyebrow. 'Fine... but at least kiss me.' Maura tapped her lips with her finger twice and of course I did what she asked. I moved slowly and placed two light kisses on her lips. When I opened my eyes, she smiled at me and I smiled back. That was one of my favorite things about her. Her smile was so beautiful. 'Move back, baby...'

My did a 30 second dance party cause she called me baby. That has always been her sex name for me. I am so gonna gotta laid. 'Fuck, I'm so excited.' I couldn't help but verbalize and to that she laughed.

'You would think it's our first time with how you're always excited.' My back was against the cushions and my girlfriend sat on my hips, hand on my stomach.

'Well, I always wanna be with you, babe...'

She came down and her hair curtained my face. I can feel her cool breath on my lips and I itched to kiss her again. 'That's so swe-mmm' Oops, I couldn't wait. I threaded my fingers on to her hair and I pulled her down. Our lips crashed and we both acknowledge it with groaning. It was clear that we were both had had enough of teasing because almost simultaneously, our mouths opened and tongues sought each other. My Maura was warm and sweet, remnants of the gelato still present. I guess mine was as well because she sucked my tongue to hers. My hips lifted to hers and she grounded, creating delicious friction between our centers.

We weren't exploratory anymore. We both knew what worked for us. For Maura, she liked a little pain with her pleasure and biting was definitely the way to go. I did just that and bit her bottom lip, pulling and releasing it back. This made me moan, which I expected by now and she kissed me again. We were deep into each other's mouths when I felt her hips move up and down, as if riding a phantom phallus. No rolling of the hips, she just moved up and down. Had we been naked, the sound of slapping skin would be rich. This was working me up and I continued to give her the best kiss she's ever had. I swirled my tongue into her mouth and pressed it on the roof, getting it there for a few second before coming down and playing with hers again.

'Jane...' Our lips detached when it became too much for our lungs and we took a needed breath of air. She took her place on my neck and she started giving tiny bites to it as she continued just bobbing. Her movements were gaining momentum and every time she would come down, I would jerk slightly. The thin fabric didn't hinder any pressure from her and soon enough I could feel that familiar burn on my private parts. 'Jane... baby.. fuck...' She husked the words on my ears.

'Maura, maybe we should... get nak... Wait, I was gonna do that!' I tilted my head up just in time to see her straighten her back and slid her hand inside her pants. Her fingers quickly went to work, rubbing her clit and soon enough she started humping the air. My hands felt flaccid and so very empty, I needed to do something.

'Just... watch... me... baby...' Maura gasped. From the movements of her hand, it was clear that she entered herself. I would guess with two fingers because she stopped for about five seconds, probably getting herself used to the feeling. Don't tell her I told you but she loves Kegel exercise and was insanely obsessed with keeping it tight down there. Her pace changed from frenzied to slow and steady, lifting herself a bit as her fingers thundered up. I wanted to join so bad but she was intent on putting a show so I propped myself up on my shoulders and like she asked, watched. Her other hand came up to her breast, then up to hem of her neckline. She pulled it down and let her left breast out completely before she twisting her nipple. I shifted from frustrated to amazed in three seconds flat. This was an extension of what had occurred on her office.

'Oh Jane... Oh Jane baby, fuck me... That's it... Your fingers feel so good, deep inside my pussy...' Ever the show man, she flipped her hair back and reacted even louder. The slow eventually moved to fast and I can see that her pants were constricting her movements. Yes, I know, I was asked to watch but I just had to help her. I reached out, gripped the fabric and pulled it down. Her shaven pussy and a very wet hand were exposed and she gasped again but ignored my presence. I had to commend her commitment to the bit. 'You're so fucking good, baby... I love feeling you inside me...'

Unrestricted, she quite literally went to town. She continued to fuck herself on top of me, accompanied by a low sloshing sound. She was so wet that some actually dripped directly to my center. I was sure I was just as drench as her because wearing my pants was already getting uncomfortable but I was still refrained so I endured the pain. Plus, I wouldn't miss this for the world.

'Jane... Oh Jane, I'm coming... Faster, baby, almost there...' Maura lost her balance a bit and she had to take her hand on her breasts. It was brought on by her shaking legs and that's how I knew she was actually coming. It wasn't part of the act, she had brought herself to orgasm. So fucking hot. 'I'm com... Jane... I'm... coming!' And with that she did. Maura bucking hips stilled and was slowly replaced by jerks timed with her silent screams. Her hand was pulled out of her cunt and planted on the side of my head once more. She carefully came down and spent recovering her sated body on top of mine. I added relief by rubbing her back and brushing off the mated hair that has stuck to her face. 'Did you like that...?'

'Babe, that was so fucking hot.' I kissed her temple and she hummed.

'Good, now let's get to a fucking bed.'
