Once inside her apartment, Maura led her by her hand through to her bedroom. She gently guided her down on the bed and told her to stay. She went to the kitchen got a large bowl, then to the bathroom where she retrieved a washcloth and returned to Jane. She wet the cloth then gently began wiping the blood from her face. She noticed that the wounds had already healed as she finished cleaning her face and neck.
"Are you alright?" The blonde almost whispered..
"Yea, I'm fine." She whispered back.
"You don't look fine." As her finger brushed a strand of hair out of her face.
"You're observing what happens when vampires fight each other, we are stronger than humans, so it takes more energy to fight each other and make any sort of impact. If we incur any wounds, our body's has to work that much harder to repair them, or if we lose blood, that drains our energy as well." She barely spoke as she was on the edge of sleep.
"So how long does it take your body to fully heal itself." She softly inquired, still playing with strands of her hair."
Jane never responded.
Maura sat there and just watched her sleep, she was beyond stunning. Never in a million years did she think she would be here, in this situation when she requested the change to the graveyard shift. All she was hoping for was to get to know the brunette and maybe form a friendship or at least get a date out of it, not end up being her eternal mate.
She had to admit, it was kinda cool though. The thought of spending the rest of her life with this gorgeous creature excited her and at the same time scared the stew out of her. She had no idea what the rest of her life with a vampire would entail.
She wanted to stay close to her, especially since the closer they are, the more tuned in she is to her. She spread out next to her, covered both of them and fell asleep thinking of the one beside her.
A few hours later, Maura came to, she immediately felt the weight of Jane's body against her. Her arm was wrapped protectively around her waist; her leg was across her thigh, resting between her legs, with her face buried in her hair. Maura repositioned herself to face her, as Jane's grip tightened, pulling her even closer. The blonde realized she liked it...a lot.
Maura raised her head as best as she could, leaned in and kissed her neck, where the wound had been earlier.
No movement from Jane.
She moved to her jawline and kissed her again.
Again no movement.
She move to the corner of her mouth.
"What are you doing?" Jane asked without opening her eyes.
"How did you know it was me, I could have left and someone else could be doing this to you?" She said smiling.
"I can smell you." She grinned into her hair.
"Oh right, your vampire senses."
"Not everything's about vampires honey, I could be a mere mortal and I'd still be able to smell you considering you're right in front of me." She laughed as she finally looked at her.
"Oh...well good point." She laughed back. She let her finger trace over the distinct features of her face ending on her mouth. "You have the most beautiful lips...may I?"
Jane nodded.
The blonde leaned the small distance between them where their lips gently caressed each other. It was soft and sweet at first, but when Maura let her tongue glide across the brunette's lips asking for permission; Jane broke contact and leaned back.
"Maura we can't do this." She tried to extract herself from the blonde.
"Why not?"
"Because if we start it, I might not be able to stop it." She spoke the truth.
"Well...I don't want to stop it, I've made my decision...I choose you." Looking directly into her eyes as she said it.
"Why?" Was all she said.
"What do you mean, why." She was confused now.
"Just that... why...I want to make sure you've thought about it, what it means and your reasons for it. I want to make sure you're not just doing it because your scared of her."
"First of all, I am not scared of her; I know you will protect me. Second, I've replayed our conversations in my head over and over and I believe we are in fact meant to be together. The way I have felt about you since I first set eyes upon you; I can't deny these feelings, they mean something. I have decided I want this, I want you, I choose you."
Jane couldn't help but smile at this news.
"Does it hurt."
"Everybody's pain tolerance is different, but I'll make it hurt as little as possible." Her voice was caring.
"So how do we do this?" She was unsure of herself.
"You don't know how to make love." She giggled.
"What...no...I meant." She said baffled.
"I know what you meant, I'm messing with you." Still laughing.
Maura slapped her arm and Jane rolled half way over her. She reworded her thoughts, "Will I remember, will you decharm me?"
"Remember when I told you about one of the three things that will happen when a human is bitten?"
"Yes."
"That's only when the human is not an eternal mate to that vampire. You will remember everything but you won't have that obsessed emotion, it will simply be pure love."
"Really?"
"Yes, when I said that an inamorata has love, but doesn't know that's what it is...well, when I take you, it will become crystal clear. Your heart will belong to me and only me...you will love me forever Maura."
The blonde's grin got wider.
"Do you understand the importance of that statement, you will never be able to fall in love with anyone else...ever. I need you to understand that.."
"I do understand that." She said as she wrapped her arms around the neck of her soon to be lover.
"Maura...are you absolutely sure... that you're ready to love me forever."
"Yes Jane I am...please take me."
**Just a fair warning, the next chapter will change to M rating, I hope I don't lose anybody because of it.**
***Cyber hugs are like a bottle of wine, you want to share it with everyone. Here's a toast to all of you, you gals are the best.***
****Got results back I have bursitis and tendinitis and I have to go see orthopedic doctor on Monday, I have NO IDEA what are they going to do to me. No one can seem to tell me what he's going do other than to look at my MRI test; he better not go tugging on my arm or trying to raise it and shit.****
