As always stated, I do not own the characters. They belong to Tess Gerritsen, TNT, & Jan Nash.

To all of my loyal readers: I owe you all an apology. The past two months have been literal hell, which is why I have not updated until now. Those of you that are close to me know what all has been going on….for others; just know I am deeply sorry. Things were hectic and my mind was not in a good place for writing, especially when 95% of you requested sexy times for this chapter ;) I do hope this will make up for my absence! Warning, this is basically all smut with a little sappiness. If it's not your thing, you may want to skip over this chapter. You've been warned!

Jane and Maura made it back to the apartment in record time, with Jane's long, hurried strides. Maura had to force back laughter bubbling up in her throat as the brunette refused to put her down and allow her to walk. The blonde held on as tightly as she could while Jane made her way up to the door. She put Maura down just long enough to unlock the apartment; once inside, the blonde felt herself being lifted up by her ass and gently pushed against the door, the brunette feeling for the lock while kissing and working over her fiancée's neck, alternating between licks and bites.

"Jane…" Maura gasped, throwing her head back and making her neck more accessible.

"Mmm, I told you I couldn't wait to get you home baby." Jane whispered into Maura's neck. She let out a soft moan as she felt the blonde wrap her legs tighter around her waist.

"Bedroom?" Jane asked, looking up from her ministrations long enough to meet darkened hazel eyes.

"No. I have a better idea." Maura replied, almost laughing at the bewildered look on Jane's face. "I promise, you'll enjoy what I have in store for us." She squirmed a little, until the brunette finally put her down gently on the floor, then quickly laced their fingers together as she led Jane into the bathroom.

"I know you said never mind the bath earlier, but a bath can be quite sensual. And sex is possible, and in fact very pleasurable." The blonde murmured quietly, looking back at deep chocolate eyes for a reaction.

"As long as I have you in between my legs, naked…I'm all for a bath with you." Jane said, pulling Maura backwards and into her arms once again. Leaning down, the two quickly fell into a passionate kiss, tongues dueling for dominance. Maura almost lost all control when she felt Jane caressing her backside, and rocked her hips searching for anything to help relieve the ache between her legs.

After several minutes, Maura finally found the willpower to break the kiss, leaning heavily into Jane to catch her breath. She made her way over to the tub, turned the water on, and quickly adjusted the temperature. While waiting for the tub to fill, she turned back towards Jane, and had to do a double take when she saw the brunette had stripped down to nothing.

Jane, smirking at the look on Maura's face, slowly sauntered over to the blonde, gently turning her around so Maura's back was now to her. She slowly, teasingly pulled the shirt out of Maura's pants, lifting it up and over her head before tossing it to the side. She then kissed and nipped all along newly exposed skin before quickly unhooking the bra that was in the way, tossing it beside the shirt. Kissing her way down, Jane finally removed the blonde's pants, then pulled her panties down using her teeth, which made Maura groan. The brunette spun Maura around so she was facing her, and alternated between kissing and licking up the blonde's legs, before placing the smallest of kisses right above her center. She then quickly stood up, glancing over the blonde's shoulder at the water, and led her love back towards the tub, turning off the water before helping the petite girl into the tub.

Once Maura was settled, Jane quickly climbed in and settled herself behind her, pulling her back into her arms. Both moaned as their skin connected, and Maura quickly turned her head to engage Jane in another heated kiss. The blonde moaned again and had to pull away from the kiss when she felt her lover's hand cupping her breast, gently massaging and teasing. She threw her head back and moaned louder when fingers started lightly pinching her rosy nipples, squirming and trying not to beg for Jane's hands to move lower. As if the brunette was reading her mind, she slowly dipped her other hand lower until it met wet heat. Maura tried to be mindful of the water, but couldn't stop her hips from jerking forward as Jane slowly started teasing her opening before circling her clit. The blonde leaned back, opening her legs wider to accommodate the brunette's hand, and threw her arms back, fully giving herself over to the love of her life.

Jane could barely contain her arousal as she watched Maura slowly coming undone in her arms. She could feel just how aroused her lover was as well and knew this round wouldn't take long. Just as she suspected, once she entered the blonde and thrust her fingers a few times, Maura was bucking, coming undone and moaning loudly. Jane couldn't help the proud look on her face; she was still in amazement that a few touches could elicit this type of response from the woman she loved more than life itself. She gently kissed the blonde's temple as she brought her down from her high gently, slowly removing her fingers, causing her lover to groan at the sudden loss

Once Maura had fully recovered, she went to drain the tub and motioned for Jane to stand up. They took their time, helping each other dry off, and decided to forego any clothes. Maura once again laced her fingers through Jane's and pulled her quickly to the bedroom, motioning for her lover to lie down in the center. She crawled sexily up to Jane, letting her hair fall around her face, framing it just so. Jane groaned as Maura bent to kiss her clit, then made her way north, kissing along the way until she reached her lips. The kiss quickly became heated again as Maura went to straddle the brunette. Jane moaned deeply as she felt the blonde's center against her own and bucked up, seeking any sort of friction to ease the throbbing she felt in her clit. Maura felt the movement and quickly broke the kiss. Reaching down in between them, she teasingly ran her fingers through the brunette's wetness, moaning herself at just how ready her love was for her, and felt her own wetness start to pool once again.

Having an idea in mind, Maura quickly maneuvered herself, throwing her right leg over Jane's left before moving her left under Jane's right. Jane glanced up just in time to see Maura swivel herself into position, then moaned loudly when she felt their centers meet. In all her years of sleeping with men, Jane had never felt as hot or as much of a connection as she was feeling in that moment. She wasn't sure if she was imagining it or not, but she was sure she could feel the blonde's clit throbbing against her own as they slowly started to grind against each other.

After several moments, Jane held onto Maura as she moved into a sitting position, wanting to be as close to her lover as humanly possible. Their new position gave them both a better means to grind into each other, and more pleasure from the added pressure. Jane was thrilled as well, feeling their breasts pressed together, and being able to hold her lover more closely. Maura, in turn, enjoyed getting to kiss while in their intimate position, when their breathing would allow it.

Between kissing and being able to move and shift more freely to apply the best pressure to their clits, the two both found themselves plummeting towards their orgasms much quicker than either expected. Jane never thought she would be able to come in this position, but feeling Maura's wetness mixing with her own, along with their nipples constantly coming into contact brought her over the edge. She attempted to stave hers off as long as possible, but once she heard Maura's change in breathing, she made eye contact with the blonde and quickly fell over the edge, bucking hard while still holding tightly to her love. Maura, meeting Jane's eyes and somehow managing to hold eye contact, also quickly came with an intensity she had never felt before.

As the two slowly came down, they collapsed, still holding onto one another with their legs intertwined. Maura had tears in her eyes, and one look at Jane made her burst into tears. The brunette, usually the one who refused to show emotion, was also in tears, finally feeling a connection she had been missing her entire life.

"I love you so much Maura. I cannot wait to marry you and spend our lives together." Jane whispered through her tears.

Sniffling, Maura smiled, leaning in to kiss the brunette's tears away.

"I love you too Jane. More than I ever thought was humanly possible. And I cannot wait to be your wife and start our lives together."

The talk with the family will be coming up next, along with more sweet and sexy moments along the way! Hope you all enjoyed!
