Chapter 6

The sun was creeping over the horizon and starting to highlight the room in its golden hues as Jane groggily woke. Instantly she sensed someone was watching her and rolled over in the bed to see green eyes staring at with a look of complete and utter contentment.

"Morning" Jane's voice was husky from the previous night's activities and also from the effect of sleep.

"Good Morning, sweetheart" Maura stroked Jane's wild mane back from her eyes and pulled her hand close to her chest and kissed it lightly. "Did you sleep ok?" Maura questioned and received an affirmative nod and was captivated by the eyes looking back at her.

"I slept great, this bed is like heaven compared to mine." Jane mumbled as she rolled onto her back and put her hands behind her head. Maura hesitantly reached out and run her hand along the smooth stomach up to the firm breast of her lover. Jane arched her eyebrow and bit on her lip, making Maura smile. She enjoyed the power she was wielding over her lover. Jane rolled over on top of Maura and started to grind against her their muscles rippling as the sounds of heavy gasps filled the air, about every third thrust Jane circled her hips making Maura cry out. A light sheen of sweat was starting to cover their bodies as their eyes drank in each other's passions. Everything but that moment was forgotten as passion rose and just as tension reached a dramatic height Jane slid her hand between them and plunged three fingers deep inside of Maura. She leaned down and started to bite and suck on Maura's collarbone leaving her mark on the delicate skin below her.

"I…" Maura mumbled as she rode Jane's fingers feeling overwhelmed by the passion. "Need…" Jane curled her fingers up inside her as she sucked and bit. "You" Maura screamed as Jane slammed her fingers in at an angle and bit hard enough to make Maura wince.

"Wow." Maura whispered after she caught her breath and covered Jane's hand that was still buried inside of her.

"I love making you speechless" Jane said kissing Maura's lips lightly.

"I love you making me speechless." Maura said with a sheepish smile, this was all new to her someone loving her totally and completely. Jane honestly made her feel like she could do no wrong and she felt like an exquisite jewel in Jane's care.

"I love loving you" Jane said as she got out of the bed and went to brush her teeth. "Do you want to shower with me? The world is in danger you know we need to conserve water." Jane jested as she looked at Maura as she got out of the bed holding the sheet around her; it was precious that after their lovemaking she was still unsure of her body. Jane spit out her toothpaste and told Maura to drop the sheet. Maura shook her head but gave the detective a look of pure adornment. Jane walked up to her and dropped the sheet and took her hand and covered every curve of her flesh with her hands.

"Do not doubt your beauty, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen and I hope I see a lot more of you and quiet often." Maura blushed and hid her face behind her hair which Jane promptly pushed behind her ears. "I wish you could see yourself as I see you." Jane replied as she looked into the most beautiful green eyes ever. Maura smiled and kissed Jane's lips and patted her cheek.

"You are good for my ego and self esteem." Maura said as she rested her head on Jane's chest.

"You are good for me." Jane said running her thumb down the delicate features of her lover.

"I want to thank you for always being here for me whether it was when Hoyt had gotten me and I was recovering from that, then there was the time you saved Frankie and then helped me heal and now the baby."

"You got that bullet protecting us and the only regret I have over all of those incidents is that you had to go through them all. I know that you pride yourself on protecting everyone but I need you to take care of yourself for me and for your family."

"I will do my best, sweetheart but I need you to know that my life is not worth anything if something happens to the people I love and you are at the top of the list."

Maura smiled and patted her cheek, "I love you too, I know that this is new but it feels like I have waited my whole life for you."

They took a rather long shower and were in the kitchen toasting English muffins and making oatmeal and coffee when Angela walked in whistling softly and carrying the newspaper under her arm. It took Jane by surprise when she took in the two women who were standing across the room from each other and then squealed in delight.

Jane looked at Maura questioningly as Angela scooped the ME up into a giant motherly hug and was ranting in Italian.

"Ma" Jane said as she placed her hands on the shoulders of her mother.

"I have watched you both for so long, finally, it took you two long enough." Jane blushed as she realized her mom knew exactly what was going on.

"I guess that makes it easier." Jane said over her mother's head as she took in her lovers tear filled eyes. She held a trembling hand over her mouth and Jane reached over and pulled her into the hug then mouthed "you ok?"

Maura quickly nodded and Angela broke her hug and turned to Maura "now you are a part of the family I have watched and waited knowing how you two felt but I thought that you two would never admit it."
