Hey everyone! Thanks for all of the amazing reviews.

Sorry to leave it so long between updates.


CHAPTER 9: Trouble

Under a pile of messy, moving bedding, a lean but muscular, tanned arm slowly reached for the bedside table toward the sound of a phone vibrating. After a few seconds of searching, a curly brunette head popped out from under the blankets to locate it with her eyes.

"Don't you dare stop-" Moaned the honey blonde as she pulled the other woman back under the covers.

"Babe, it could be work. I'm on-call." Jane kept one hand working at pleasuring Maura whilst the other continued to search the surrounding covers for her phone. "Ah hah! Found it." The detective frowned. "Nope, not me." She tossed it over the side of the bed to the floor and returned to trailing her mouth down her lover's neck to her chest. The vibrating started again. Her head lifted again, "Arghhh damn it! Where the fuck is your phone?!"

Maura grabbed the back of Jane's head and brought her frustrated girlfriend down for a bruising kiss. Tongues duelled, passion ensued, and soon the phone was forgotten.

"Mmmm, Jaaane. Ohhhhh, pleeease-"

The petite doctor was writhing underneath Jane. Her head thrown back, eyes closed, cheeks flushed, and mouth slightly parted. Jane loved seeing her professor like this. Completely unravelled and unguarded. She may be biased but Maura was the most stunning woman she had ever laid eyes on.

"Oh yesss, Jane! Mmmm, so good…"

Jane's movements slowed as Maura came down from her orgasm. Slowly removing her fingers after the last tremors stopped, she allowed the awestruck feeling to overwhelm her. Maura opened her eyes as she noticed the change. Jane began to reverently roam the doctor's body with her hands, sliding them along her sides, across her breasts and stomach. Her lips began to follow the path her hands were paving. Reaching the blonde's lips, she brushed her own against them gently and hovered just above her staring into intelligent hazel. "You're so fucking beautiful, Maur."

The professor smiled adoringly up at her student. Wrapping her arms around Jane's neck, she opened her legs to accommodate her lover better, and pulled her tightly against her body. "Mmm, so are you." They began to kiss again in soft exploration. The intensity of their connection overwhelmed them both and they quickly built up to another passionate exchange with hands roaming each other's bodies.

BZZZ BZZZ BZZZ BZZZ

"Oh my God!"

Maura couldn't help but laugh at Jane's outburst. "Jane, honey, I think it's my phone. It's over on the dresser."

"Far out!" Jane reluctantly got out of bed and grabbed the offensive device. She frowned when she saw 5 missed calls and 1 new text message, all from the same person: Chris Shaw. Annoyed, she stomped over to the bed and flopped on top of the covers dramatically. She handed the phone over to Maura. "Here you go" She said grumpily and continued to pout as the doctor took the phone from her.

Maura read the message quickly, locked her phone again, and placed it on her bedside table. She reached out for her lover but was met with resistance. "Awww, c'mon sweetheart." She pulled at the brunette's waist as she rolled over to wrap herself around her. She snuggled into her lover's neck. Mmm she always smells so good. "Don't be like this. There is no reason to be." Moving out from under the covers, she straddled the tall woman's waist and trailed kisses along the angled jaw and down a long neck.

Having no self-control at all when it came to the petite blonde, especially when naked and calling her a pet name, Jane placed her hands on slim hips and reciprocated the affection. "What did she want?"

Maura placed a kiss to Jane's collarbone, "Just," Kiss. "To ask," Another kiss. "About," Two more kisses. "Meeting up." She placed several more kisses down a well-defined stomach until strong hands grabbed her shoulders and encouraged her to move back up the muscular body. Once they were face-to-face, she looked deeply into concerned dark brown eyes. Eyes that conveyed so much.

Jane held onto her girlfriend tightly around the waist with one arm and gently played with her hair with her other hand. "I, uh, I don't know how I'm, uh, supposed to feel about all of this?" Jane shrugged slightly. Her tone became that unsure and somewhat aloof one that she used when they first met.

Maura carefully approached this, knowing Jane was younger than her and not knowing how much relationship experience she had. "There's really nothing to be concerned about, darling. You're allowed to feel jealous. Unfortunately, it is a part of the process when dealing with your partner's ex, but you don't have to let it affect you. I'm here with you, not her. You don't have to worry about anything. I promise." The blonde sealed her promise with a soft kiss.

"So, feeling jealous is ok but punching Chris in the face is not ok? Is that what you're sayin'?" Jane smirked up at the doctor. Her smart ass comments may have relieved the tension of the situation but her chest still ached at the thought of someone trying to win Maura over. Someone who knew her as intimately as Jane did.

"Definitely not ok." Maura smiled before leaning in for another kiss and then squealed as she was abruptly picked up and pinned against the bedroom wall. She wrapped her legs around Jane as the younger woman attacked her lips and neck. "Ohhh Jane-"

The brunette couldn't get enough of her. "I don't… I don't want to think about it." Jane panted between kisses. "I just want…" She was so frustrated with how she felt. She grabbed at the blonde's ass and hips, she wanted to put her hands everywhere. "I want…" She sucked feverishly at a delicious pulse point and braced her legs to hold the weight of the smaller woman better. She let her left hand roam from one ass cheek to the soft inside of the doctor's thighs.

"What do you want, baby?" Maura moaned as Jane's fingers teased at her wet entrance for the third time that morning. She began to move her hips in encouragement.

"I want…" You, Maura. All of you. I want you to be mine. I love you. I'm so fucked. Jane couldn't form her sentence and her thoughts were disjointed. She had never felt so out of control and so incredible at the same time. She pushed two fingers into the professor and pumped furiously, hoping she could communicate to Maura how much she wanted her, needed her. Fuck, I need her. I need her so much.

Their gazes remained locked on each other, even as Maura climaxed, she gripped Jane's shoulders tightly and made sure she conveyed every bit of feeling. Something passed between dark brown and hazel. "I want you too , Jane."

Jane felt relief at those words. A blonde head dropped to her shoulder as they clung to one another, sweaty and spent. "Maura?" The detective suddenly didn't feel so worried anymore.

"Mmm?" Hazel eyes raised to meet her own again.

"My legs are cramping."

They both broke out in laughter as Maura slid out of Jane's grasp and placed her feet back onto the floor. She kept her arms wrapped around the brunette's neck and they kissed again. "I love kissing you." The doctor placed another peck on the detective's soft lips and pulled away. "I'm going to have a shower. Would you like to join me so I can finally thank you for all of the attention you have given me this morning?" She asked in a seductive tone.

Jane didn't even bother responding verbally, she rushed past the blonde and entered the bathroom, turning on the water and getting under the spray before Maura even reached the bathroom door.


"Hi M. Thanks for meeting me." Chris stood up from her seat and kissed the wary, smaller woman on the cheek in greeting. "Relax, I'm not going to jump you." The stocky, tall brunette stepped back and took a good look at her ex girlfriend. Wearing a pair of the expected 4 inch high heels, a grey pencil skirt and cream silk blouse, the blonde looked as elegant as she always had. "You look amazing, Maura." She gave her a huge smile before motioning the doctor to the seat across from her at the table.

"Hi Chris, thank you. You look nice too." The blonde smiled politely and sat across from the history professor. Chris was dressed in her usual, expensive, tailored suit and matching boots. She wasn't entirely feminine because of her muscular build but she was far from butch. She had always fascinated Maura. Gentle and caring and then suddenly, full of rage at the strangest things; thinking through a process, and then spontaneously leaving for a weekend away to somewhere completely random. She never quite understood her but she had cared enough to try.

The two of them ordered their drinks from the waitress and looked at each other. The brunette reached across the table for the doctor's hand but stopped as it was delicately pulled out of reach. "Chris, what do you want?" Maura got straight to the point, staring straight into the beautiful blue eyes of her ex.

The history professor exhaled loudly, feeling somewhat defeated. She looked down at the table and spoke softly, "I want you, M." She looked up to meet piercing hazel.

"You had me and you left—"

"Mau—"

"Let me finish please, Chris." Maura kept her tone calm but she was not playing any games with the brunette. "You had me, you left, and now… Now, I'm happy for the first time in a long time." She smiled softly at the older woman. "I'm sorry if that disappoints you."

The waitress arrived with Maura's tea and Chris' coffee. Giving the two a break in the palpable tension at the table. They both reached for their cups and took a sip.

Chris broke the tension first. "So, it's because of that cop isn't it?" She was trying to control her anger.

"No, Chris. Even if Jane and I weren't involved, there would be nothing happening between you and I." The doctor made sure her tone was firm. She didn't want there to be any misunderstanding.

"Bullshit! A fucking cop, Maura! Why a cop?!"

"Your issue with officers of the law is not my problem and frankly, you shouldn't have an issue. Your brother was arrested because he engaged in criminal activity. It is a police officer's job to arrest those that break the law. C'mon Chris. Don't be like this." Maura pleaded, hoping to get through to her unusually quiet ex.

The brunette stared blankly at Maura. Not quite believing that things weren't playing out as she planned. She had expected to be in bed and naked by yesterday but instead she was being rejected by the only woman that had put up with her longer than a few months. The history professor tried a different approach. She softened her voice, "Fine, Maura. I get the point." She leaned forward and made sure she had the blonde's full attention. "I'm a jerk. I hate cops for no rational reason. I left you… I get it, ok. What can I do to—"

"There isn't anything you can do. I have made a life here that I love. Please try and understand that you can't just waltz in and—"

"I know that!" Chris raised her voice. She was getting pissed now. She hated being out of control. She took a deep breath. "I know." She put her head in her hands, frustrated.

"I'm sorry, Chris." Maura was only remorseful because she didn't like upsetting anyone.

"No, I'm sorry. I don't have a right to assume anything." She looked expectantly at the doctor. "But can we at least be friends?"

"Of course." Maura smiled and relaxed a little.

They both conversed about their work for the next 10 minutes before the conversation shifted. "Tell me how you met Jane." There was a slightly jealous tone in her voice but she kept her composure.

"Chris, I don't—"

"Aww c'mon, M?!"

"What— No! You don't really want to know. Don't torture yourself."

"Maura, I wa—"

Maura stood abruptly. "I have to go." She pulled out some cash from her purse and placed it on the table. Chris stood to protest her leaving but Maura placed her hand on the brunette's shoulder. "Please, Chris. Don't make this harder on yourself."

The muscular woman sat in a huff and studied the petite woman. "She's young, Maura. How old is she?"

Oh God. I should have known she would come from this angle. Maura stayed calm on the outside but was slightly panicking inside. "That's not really your business but yes, she is younger than I am. I don't really need to divulge her age."

"Hmmm… Maybe it isn't my business. But whether you believe it or not, I care about you. She doesn't seem your type and a little immature."

The medical professor knew she was being goaded into something and wouldn't allow herself to get involved in the brunette's jealous game. "Maybe but she's a lot of fun and I haven't enjoyed another's company for a long time. Just be happy for me, Chris. I'll speak to you soon." At that, she turned and didn't wait for a reply. Jane may be 25 but Chris is acting 15 despite being 3 years older than me. She was over childish games. The doctor got into her Mercedes and drove, for the first time by her own initiative, towards Jane's apartment.


Jane scowled at the sound of someone knocking on her front door. She got up off the couch and unlocked the door.

Looking into the surprised face of her girlfriend, Maura smirked and pushed Jane back into her apartment. Jane happily grabbed the blonde's hips as the doctor's arms reached around her shoulders. Before the detective could get a word in, her lips were covered with the soft ones of her professor. Pulling softly back, hazel locked onto dark brown. "Hi gorgeous."

Jane smiled adoringly at her lover, "Hey. Not that I'm complaining but what are you doing here?"

Maura pulled away and closed the door. They both made their way over to the couch. "I just wanted to see you." She gave the tall brunette a shy grin.

Jane couldn't help but give a wide smile. She's so damn adorable. I'm head over heels. She moved to place her arm around the blonde, pulling her in close. The two enjoyed the simple comfort of each other's presence as Maura snuggled into her lover's side and Jane switched channels on the tv over to the baseball. Jane turned to place a light kiss on Maura's head and settled further into the couch.


Definitely one more chapter to go! It will be pretty fluffy :) Keep an eye out for another story soon!
