A/N: We pick up right after the last chapter. The burn is real here folks ;-) Enjoy!


The couple had eventually cleaned up the bandstand and gotten everything into their two cars. They drove the short distance to Maura's Beacon Hill home separately, allowing both women some time and space to process what had just happened and what could now happen, given that they had cleared up just exactly their feelings were for each other.

Of course, Jane insisted on unloading everything while Maura arranged all the flowers around her living room and kitchen, putting away the leftover food in the fridge. When everything was settled, the couple was left standing in the space between the living room and kitchen, looking lost, neither sure what they should do next.

Jane knew she wanted to be intimate with Maura, needing to feel Maura's hot naked skin against her again. But, she was still worried about Maura touching her. Maura, on the other hand, was burning to take Jane back to the love hut and let Jane have her way with her. If she couldn't touch Jane yet, then Maura would be perfectly happy letting her detective ravish her until she was too exhausted to remember her own name. The conflicting feelings left the couple in a self-imposed limbo that was currently Maura's living room.

After several awkward moments of silence and shy glances at each other, Jane finally got up the nerve to move within Maura's personal space. She pulled the smaller woman against her, wrapping her arms securely around the doctor's curvy waist. Jane felt Maura's breath catch before the smaller woman nuzzled into her chest, inhaling deeply before letting out a content sigh.

"Maur, I-I," Jane stammered out, her voice muffled as she spoke into golden curls. She knew she wanted to ask Maura to go to bed with her but finding the words and saying them were an entirely different thing.

Her doctor seemed to understand her struggle as she reached up with her full lips and kissed along Jane's jaw. "Would you like to go to the hut?" Maura asked in the softest, gentlest voice she could. Jane felt herself tense at the mention of the large structure that now took up the majority of Maura's backyard, memories of that fateful night that almost tore them apart flooding her mind.

Maura also felt the tension and immediately amended her statement. "We do not need to go back there. Ever. If you would like, I can have it taken down permanently," Maura rushed out, pulling back to look up at Jane to gauge her detective's reaction. Jane's face was a mask of tension but nothing else could be discerned by the doctor. The one saving grace was that her detective was still holding onto her in a possessive manner, and so Maura went back to nuzzling into Jane, feeling the taller woman relax slightly when Maura's lips pressed chaste kisses to her neck.

"That seems like overkill, Maur," came Jane's throaty reply a few moments later. Maura felt her own anxiety lessen at Jane's words. So her detective was not completely opposed to the loving hut. Maybe they would just need to take some time to work their way back to it. It was a shame, given how much energy and money Maura had put into creating the perfect structure. But, if her detective needed time, than Maura would give it to her.

The couple stayed ensconced in each others arms, enjoying the warmth and the safety the embrace held. Maura was content but couldn't deny that she wanted so much more, the smell of her detective filling her nostrils, stroking her desire for this woman in her arms.

The doctor almost let out a string of curses when Jane started to explore with her hands, the long fingers of her detective moving lower along her body, finally taking her firm cheeks into her large hands and squeezing. A moan made its way past her lips at the feeling, the doctor spreading her legs a bit so that she could move her aching core around Jane's taunt thigh. The chuckle she felt against her ear brought the doctor to her senses for a brief moment.

"There you go, Maur, being all eager again," Jane ribbed. Maura felt herself flush from the razzing but that didn't stop her from grinding down harder against Jane's impressive thigh muscle. When her detective let out a full bellied laugh, Maura moved her lips to bite down at the sinews of Jane's neck. The doctor felt extreme pride at the yelp followed by a growled moan that she managed to elicit from Jane. It also did not escape her attention that Jane moved her leg a little more firmly in between Maura's thighs.

"You were saying, Jane," Maura taunted with faux innocence. A louder growl came from above her now and then it was Maura's turn to yelp as she was suddenly lifted by her bum off her feet and backed up into the nearest wall. Once she was pinned against the hard surface, Jane attacked her neck with nips of her own, moving her thigh in a steady thrusting rhythm. Maura was embarrassed by how quickly she was climbing to her climax, the apex fast approaching at her detective's unyielding attention to both her neck and her dripping core.

"J-J-Jane, I'm so close," Maura managed to stutter out in between the moans and gasps of Jane's unrelenting ministrations. Her detective simply grunted her acknowledgement and redoubled her efforts.

Moments later, Maura let out an unseemly loud yell that signaled her orgasm, Jane's name the only word that came to mind as she tumbled over the edge of her pleasure. The doctor closed her eyes tightly, seeing stars erupt behind her eyelids as Jane continued her attentions, albeit a bit more gentle and soothing, allowing Maura to ride out the aftershocks of her intense climax.

When Maura finally stopped shaking, Jane eased her back down to her feet, but didn't lessen the pressure of her hold against the wall, understanding that the smaller woman may be unable to stand on her own just yet. Maura appreciated the gesture, her legs feeling like jelly, a tingly sensation permeating from her clenching core down her legs. Maura could feel the lips against her neck form into a smile. The doctor could only imagine the smug smirk her detective must be wearing at the moment.

"Proud of yourself, are you detective?" Maura panted out, her breathing still not having returned to normal. The doctor had been on the edge of arousal almost consistently since this morning, let alone the last month or so, and couldn't find it within herself to be too ashamed of how hard she had cum now that Jane had finally taken her.

"Just happy to be of service," came the cheeky reply from her lover. Maura's own face transformed into a beaming smile. Jane was actually her lover now. The thought caused Maura's heart to soar to the heights of the stars.

"Well, I hope you do not think your services are no longer required, detective." Maura pushed Jane away enough so that she could deliver a seductive smirk. "You owe me at least a week's worth." The smaller woman threw in a wink for good measure

Jane barked out a laugh before capturing Maura's lips in a long, languid kiss. They both moaned happily into the kiss before Jane drew back and fixed Maura with a serious expression. The doctor felt a knot form in her throat, afraid of what her lover was about to say.

"I think I owe you much more than that, Maur." The gravelly tone of Jane's voice hit Maura right in her most sensitive places, her core dripping and her heart racing. Maura was too excited at the prospect of what that meant so she just nodded her head in recognition.

Jane then bestowed upon her one of the most beautiful smiles the detective had ever shown in her presence and without preamble, picked up Maura once again, moving her hands to Maura's thighs, encouraging the doctor to wrap her legs around her.

"I am taking you to bed now, Maur. I hope you don't have a problem with that." Jane began to make her way toward the stairs that led to her bedroom and Maura tucked her head into the juncture of Jane's shoulder and neck and exhaled longingly, "pleeeasse."

R&I

Jane felt emboldened by what had transpired downstairs. She had successfully gotten Maura off without so much as removing a stitch of clothing! This gave the detective so much confidence in her ability to satisfy her experienced doctor. Part of what had been weighing on Jane's mind was all the information her best friend had shared about her sexual encounters over the years. Jane was no prude, of course, having had her fair share of experiences, but having listened to her best friend, Jane knew that she was vastly outdone. So, to be able to make the all knowing doctor succumb to her in such a way had Jane was over the moon. This is what had prompted her to take control and take Maura upstairs to her bedroom.

However, with each step that Jane took toward their destination, the recent confidence began to seep out of the detective's body. Her mind, which had been wonderfully silent during their interaction just minutes ago, had suddenly found its voice and had started up a litany of her greatest insecurities. Jane tried to block the thoughts out but alas, they were as stubborn as she was. So, when Jane finally entered the bedroom, it was with trepidation instead of conviction.

Her doctor must have sensed her hesitation because her lovely hazel eyes were soon locked onto hers, asking silently if she was ok. Jane wanted to reassure her love that she was fine, but that was not the case. In truth, Jane was freaking the fuck out. But, she had promised not to run away from Maura again, only to her. Summoning all the courage she could find within herself, Jane endeavored to do just that. Placing the smaller woman down on the bed delicately, Maura truly a precious gem in the detective's mind, Jane knelt down in front of her doctor and took her hands.

"Maur, I really thought I could give you more, but I'm so scared." The normally strong raspy voice cracked at the end of her sentence, showcasing just how much her nerves were getting the best of her. Maura's eyes softened immediately and Jane felt the smaller hands within hers give a comforting squeeze.

"Jane, dear, I meant what I said earlier. We can go slow. I will wait." Jane knew Maura meant it but that didn't ease the guilt she felt for starting something that she couldn't finish. Although, she thought, Maura had seemed pretty finished downstairs. This brought a sly grin to her lips and Maura tilted her head quizzically at the change in her features.

"I know, and I love you for it. But, I feel like I'm not being fair to you." Jane bent her head downward, fairness so important to the detective who devoted her whole life to truth and justice. Her head was tipped back up by a soft, manicured finger and soft lips pressed firmly against hers.

"I love you, Jane. I think you have been more than fair considering I have already achieved my climax and you have not." Jane blushed at the insinuation that she was still aroused, even though she most certainly was, if the pool of her own juices in her pants was any indication.

Maura's dimpled smile graced her gorgeous face as she read Jane's thoughts correctly. "I understand if you do not want me to aid in your release. Perhaps you would like to take a shower and take care of yourself. I can head back downstairs and busy myself in my office." Leave it to Maura to be so gracious even when Jane knew the doctor was dying to touch the detective intimately.

"I don't think I could with you here," Jane said meekly, rubbing the back of her neck with one hand. Maura giggled and Jane looked up to see her love's eyes sparkling in merriment at her discomfort. "Hey, not all of us are so free, doctor." Now her doctor outright laughed at her. Jane felt her lips pout before she could stop herself.

"Oh, Jane, you are just so adorable. Goddess, I love you so much." Maura planted a wet kiss to her pouting lips before she gracefully extracted herself from where Jane was kneeling before her and made her way into the bathroom.

Jane looked after her in confusion as the delectable derriere disappeared from view. The detective replayed the last few minutes in her head, trying to come up with some explanation about what was happening. When Jane heard the shower turn on, her eyes bugged out and she jumped up from her knees and tiptoed to the threshold of the bathroom. As she approached, Maura poked her head around the door and gave her the most salacious look she had seen yet.

"Darling, if you are not going to make use of my shower, I will." Jane gaped at her doctor who gave her an all too wicked wink. "Of course, you are more than welcome to join me, Jane." Jane just stood stock still, aroused and yet too scared to move or speak.

Maura chuckled as she shut the door on the dumbstruck detective. "I will be out in 20 minutes Jane." When no response came except Jane's head thumping against the closed door, Maura's voice floated through the wooden barrier, mirth clearly tinting the tone. "Hmm, better make it 30."

Jane heard the shower door open and close and that is what finally spurred her to remove herself from Maura's bedroom. She was dripping with want but could not bring herself to join Maura in the shower. Instead, she flew down the stairs to the guest bedroom and closed the door. Quickly shedding her pants, Jane threw herself on the bed and immediately stuck her hand down her briefs, encountering a ridiculous amount of moisture and a very hard clit. Jane spent the next several minutes imagining what Maura was doing in the shower as she brought herself to a quick, hard climax. It did not escape Jane's notice how ironic this was, but for now, it would just have to do.


A/N: Our ladies are continuing their progress. I hope those that were getting impatient about how slow the burn was feel a bit better now. ;-) Lots more to come, no pun intended, in this story. Stay tuned!
