Jane's mouth went dry and she stuttered for a few moments. "You want to see me naked?" Jane asked slowly as if Maura had just spoken another language.
"Yes." Maura said nodding her head. Without her heels on Maura stood a few inches shorter than Jane and she had to lift her head up slightly to make eye contact. Her eyes read only curiosity and innocence. Jane mentally groaned.
"Why?" Jane asked, shifting from foot to foot.
"Because after such an interesting learning experience I find that I have heightened senses and…" Maura paused for a moment. Realizing that Jane probably wouldn't understand Maura simplified herself. "I find that it has turned me on and I'm interested to see if I would be equally turned on to the sight of your body."
Jane's jaw hit the floor. "You what?"
Maura bit her lip. "I just want to see you naked Jane. That's all."
"Maura!" Jane's voice rose in volume. "You can't just ask someone that!"
"I know, but that's why I asked you. You're my best friend… life long best friend forever… and you said you would do anything for me." Maura suddenly worried that she was ruining their friendship. However, as Jane's stance slacked and she let out a frustrated groan, Maura knew that no such thing was happening. Jane was simply just embarrassed.
"I can't believe you." Jane shook her head. "When I said that I meant to keep you safe… I never thought you would ask for this." Jane sighed. It was true though. Jane would do anything to keep her safe… and to keep her happy. She loved Maura too much to ever think otherwise.
"I know, but I really just want to know." Maura whispered, shrugging.
"And what if you don't?" Jane asked. But the confused look in Maura's eyes told Jane that she didn't quite understand the question. "What if you don't find me… you know… sexually attractive?"
"Oh." Maura said. "I see." She know understood part of why Jane was hesitating. Although Maura knew that she was going to find Jane absolutely breath taking when she was naked Jane did not. The sight of Jane in her clothes, even her non designer, slightly frumpy clothes, turned Maura on. Without any barriers Maura knew that it was going to be hard not to just jump her. "I wouldn't worry about that Jane. You are a very beautiful woman."
Jane blushed a deep shade of red. "Thanks." Jane muttered, looking at the floor of the Maura's kitchen.
"Jane?" Maura stepped up a little closer to Jane. They were now way past the boundaries of friends, but neither really noticed. They had always been this close. Maura slid her hands into Jane's. "Please?"
There is was again. That voice. The one Jane recognized as Maura trying to get her way. And it worked. It worked every time. "Fine." Jane found herself saying for the second night.
Again more to come soon. :) We're getting there. Next chapter... Jane stripping for Maura.
