Chapter 10

Disclaimer: I Still Own Nothing. Damn.

Jane made her way up the stairs, carrying Maura, carefully avoiding Bass, as he made his way slowly on his rounds of the house. Maura held onto Jane, her fingers interlaced behind Jane's neck, tracing a line of moist kisses down Jane's jaw to the soft skin of her shoulder. Jane leaned her head sideways into these kisses, feeling the goose flesh rise on the back of her neck as her arousal began to grow somewhere much further south. No words were spoken as they made their way to Maura's bedroom.

They both understood the enormity of what had just happened between them, and neither wanted to break the spell with mere words. Words would have diminished this moment. Words would have gotten in the way. They both knew that there were no words. Now was a time for action.

Jane made her way into the bedroom and softly dropped Maura to her feet. Maura stood, pushing her body into Jane, pulling Jane down to her. They shared a long, luxuriously passionate kiss, Maura on tip toes, her shoes not adding anything to her height. Jane held Maura's head in her hands, guiding Maura into the kiss. Maura's hands made their way to Jane's hips, where they twisted into Jane's cotton shirt, bunching the fabric into her fists. Tongues danced with one another, neither fighting for dominance, allowing the kiss to unfold naturally.

Jane broke the kiss reluctantly, her forehead falling into Maura's, her hands still on either side of Maura's face. Both had their eyes closed, merely allowing the feelings of love and passion to wash over them, each in their own thoughts.

Jane spoke first. "Maura." She whispered, breathlessly. She felt as if she couldn't get enough air into her lungs. That she would suffocate with the passion that she was feeling.

Maura pulled Jane's breath into her lungs, feeling as if she were fortifying herself with Jane's energy and life force. "I love you." Maura whispered back, her hands making their way to Jane's, covering them.

Jane opened her eyes, staring intently into Maura's. A small shiver coursed its way through Jane's body. Maura felt it and smiled. She leaned up again and kissed Jane briefly before pulling Jane towards the bed. Jane followed, as if in a trance.

"Lights on or off?" Maura whispered to Jane, smiling.

Jane looked towards the window. The moon, which had been hiding behind storm clouds all night, chose this moment to appear, bathing the room, and Maura, in a translucent glow. "Off." Jane answered.

"Then what happens next, baby, is all up to you." Maura said, leading Jane to the bed.

Jane slowly took off Maura's clothes, tossing them unceremoniously on the floor. It wasn't until she unzipped Maura's skirt and let it fall, that she saw Maura's newly acquired piece of attire.

"Jesus!" Jane said to Maura. "Have you been wearing these all day?"

Maura stepped out of her skirt. "They're new." She said, bending over and picking up her skirt, folding it between her hands. "I bought them obviously with you in mind, Jane."

Jane inhaled at the sight that was Maura, standing in front of her, wearing her powder blue lace bra and matching panties, and thigh-high stockings held up by a garter belt. Jane reached out and ran her finger along Maura's bare stomach and let it settle under the waist of the garter. She traced the contour of her stomach under the belt, eliciting a soft moan from Maura.

"Jane." Maura breathed softly. "Please take off your clothes."

Jane did as she was told quickly, tossing them onto the floor next to Maura's shirt. She closed the distance between them and pulled Maura's body next to hers. The feeling of her skin touching Maura's delicate under things, mixed with the heat of Maura's body, was maddening. She leaned over and kissed Maura again, running her fingertips down Maura's spine and settling on the small of her back, tracing small circles, eliciting another moan from Maura.

"Oh God, Jane. That feels so good." Maura whispered into Jane's mouth.

"You feel so good." Jane answered back, her throaty voice becoming deeper with her arousal. She slowly ran her fingers up Maura's back and undid her bra, letting it fall to the floor and onto the growing pile of clothes.

Jane reached up and palmed Maura's perfect breasts, feeling the nipples grow hard in her hands. She traced them with her thumbs, all the while kissing Maura's soft lips. She slowly dragged her tongue down Maura's throat, past her collar bone and settled on her breast. She teased the nipple into a tight bud and then pulled it into her mouth, suckling softly. Maura arched her back into Jane's mouth, her own hands filled with raven hair.

Maura drew in a deep breath at the sensation of Jane's tongue on her breast. Maura loved the way Jane knew exactly how much pressure to put on them. Not too much or it became painful. Too little, and it was just teasing.

Jane moved from one breast to the other, giving it equal attention. She wanted Maura badly, but she was not going to rush tonight. She would take her time, mapping out Maura's body, every dimple and curve, with her hands and mouth. She slowly went to her knees, her hands finding their way to Maura's ass. She pulled Maura into her face, the lace of her now damp panties grazing Jane's nose. She inhaled Maura's sexy musky scent deeply. She ran her tongue out and over Maura's clit gently, through the panties, massaging it slowly.

Maura exhaled swiftly, pushing her hips into Jane's face, her own hands still filled with Jane's hair. She began to move her hips into that fantastic tongue, pulling Jane's head closer. Suddenly Jane stopped, to Maura's dismay.

"Not yet." Jane whispered huskily. She slowly unclasped each of the hooks on Maura's stockings and removed her panties over them. She redid the hooks, leaving the stockings in place. She stood and looked at Maura, lustily. "You are perfect." She said pulling Maura into another deep kiss, her hand finding its way to Maura's now dripping center. She slid one finger into her delicate folds, sliding the length of them, back and forth, but not entering Maura.

Maura moaned again, opening her legs to allow Jane better access. Jane withdrew her finger and brought it to her nose, inhaling Maura's scent, before putting it into her mouth, sucking it clean. She kissed Maura again, carefully pushing her back onto the bed. Maura elbow walked herself back onto the pillows, her mouth never leaving Jane's. Jane lowered her body carefully down on top of Maura, giving Maura her full weight. Maura slid her thigh in between Jane's legs, feeling Jane's own excitement rubbing off onto her leg. Jane began to grind her hips into Maura's thigh.

Maura's hands made their way to Jane's breasts that had been pressed next to her own. She broke the kiss and went to lick them. Jane stopped her.

"No, baby. Now's for you." She whispered into Maura's ear, her breath tickling it. She began to kiss her way down Maura's body, slowly, deliberately, down between her clavicles, onto her chest. She kissed and sucked Maura's breasts, first one and then the other. Maura threw her head back, arching her chest into Jane's mouth. Jane moved down to Maura's navel, thrusting her tongue into it. Maura's breathing began to quicken. Jane moved over the garter belt and down further.

Finally, Jane reached Maura's pussy. She settled herself between Maura's legs, placing her thighs over her shoulders, nudging Maura's legs open wider with her hands. She wanted all access to Maura. She traced slow lazy circles onto Maura's inner thighs with her fingertips. Maura moaned loudly, urging Jane on.

"Please Jane!" she gasped, her hips arching up, trying to find Jane's mouth.

Jane smiled and with a quick movement, opened Maura's sex completely with her thumbs. She leaned in and licked Maura's folds with a long flat tongue, bottom to top, just once, tasting Maura's salty lubrication, rolling it around on her tongue. She blew warm air onto Maura's clit, feeling Maura's body tense up, waiting for Jane to take her.

Jane pushed her face into Maura's pussy, her tongue out, dipping into Maura's wetness. She sucked Maura's labia, her tongue massaging them, before releasing them to find Maura's clit. She licked it again, her tongue long and flat, lapping at it, like she was eating an ice cream cone. Maura's hips began to buck and Jane knew that she was close.

Jane wasn't ready for Maura to come just yet. She wanted to prolong this moment for as long as she could. It was Jane's favorite thing to do to Maura. Eat her out. She loved the way Maura tasted and the way Maura moved her body to get closer to Jane. She loved the way Maura smelled and she loved having that smell on her face and hands. But most of all, she loved giving Maura pleasure. Loved the way Maura sounded as she began to climb the hill of orgasm. The way she sounded when she reached the top, and crashed down the other side. Jane loved being responsible for that. So she pulled back a bit from Maura's clit.

"Jane please, don't tease." Maura gasped, her hands finding Jane's head and pushing it into her pussy. Jane gently pushed Maura's hands away, placing them back at her sides. Maura immediately pulled the covers into her fists, trying to keep from touching Jane's head again. She was ready to come, but knew that Jane wanted her to wait.

Maura knew that Jane loved performing oral sex on her. And she loved that Jane loved it. No one in her past had ever given her as much pleasure and attention as Jane had. In fact, Jane was the most attentive and selfless lover that Maura had ever been with. She had only ever been with men, and none had seemed to enjoy this aspect of sex. All had done it in a perfunctory manner, as if it was a chore that would eventually allow them to climb on top of her and demand the old "in and out". Jane never made her feel like she was doing it for any other reason than to give Maura pleasure. And it had quickly become her favorite thing that Jane did to her during their lovemaking.

Jane lowered her face back into Maura, nudging her clit with her nose, inhaling deeply.

"God you smell so good!" Jane said into Maura's pussy, the vibration of her voice reverberating into Maura's center. Maura hissed in her breath.

"Oh, Jane!" Maura said, opening her legs wider. She looked down at Jane and licked her lips. She could never get over how exciting it was to see Jane down there, between her legs, her eyes twinkling back at her.

Jane sensed that Maura might soon become frustrated and she used her thumbs again to open Maura up wide. She slid her tongue into Maura, placing her entire mouth over Maura's opening, sucking deeply. She wanted to drink in every ounce of Maura's wetness. She wanted Maura to come in her mouth. She wanted to swallow all of her. Maura immediately began to thrust her hips into Jane's face. Jane slid her tongue up to Maura's clit and she sucked on the tight bundle of nerves, feeling Maura's body begin to prepare for orgasm.

"Yes, Jane!" Maura yelled. "Yes!" She grabbed Jane's head again, unable to control herself anymore. Her orgasm was coming fast.

Jane increased her tempo and put her hands around Maura's bucking hips, hanging on as Maura began the process of climaxing. She wanted to be as close to Maura as she could be when Maura came.

And soon, Maura did, her back arching up, her thighs closing involuntarily around Jane's head. Jane immediately moved her mouth back to Maura's opening, feeling the warm rush of fluid enter her mouth where she sucked it in greedily.

"Jane!" Maura screamed. "Oh, God! Jane! I'm coming!"

Jane held onto Maura's hips, lapping at her pussy long after the contractions of Maura's orgasm had stopped. She loved the way Maura's hips twitched when she lightly touched her clit, the bud still very sensitive.

Maura lay there, her wrist covering her eyes, trying to get her breathing under control. Jane slowly kissed her way back up to Maura's mouth, stopping briefly at Maura's pulse point, loving the way Maura's heart was pounding.

Maura smiled shyly at Jane, after they broke their kiss, tears forming in her eyes. Jane smiled back.

"I love the way you get all shy on me after you come." She teased.

Maura covered her eyes with her hands. "Don't make fun, Jane." She said, smiling back.

Jane moved Maura's hands away from her face and kissed them lovingly. "I'm not making fun. You are so beautiful after you come, Maura." She whispered, kissing Maura's face, her mouth lingering next to her ear. "So beautiful."

Maura put her arms around Jane, pulling her into a tight hug, loving the way Jane's naked body felt pressed against her own. They lay like that for a while.

Suddenly, there were small taps against the window. Fat raindrops began to fall, slowly at first, but then increasing as the storm that had been threatening all day finally started. Thunder rolled in the distance.

Jane turned her face towards the window, resting her head on Maura's chest, listening to her heartbeat.

"I love the rain." Jane whispered into the quiet room.

Maura drew in a deep breath. "And I love you." She said into the top of Jane's head, placing a kiss there as well. "I am so happy."

Jane looked up at Maura, smiling. "Me, too."

"Jane, do you want me to make love to you now?'' Maura whispered softly. "Because I'm dying to, you know."

Jane kissed Maura long and soft. "Not yet." She said. "Let's just lay here awhile and let me enjoy your afterglow." She settled back onto Maura's chest. "I love your afterglow."

Maura chuckled. "Shouldn't you get the chance at an afterglow?"

Jane stroked Maura's shoulder, looking out the window at the rain. "This is my afterglow." She paused then said, "You are my afterglow."

Maura squeezed Jane tightly, taking her hand and kissing the scar on her palm. "Then we'll wait. You'll tell me when you're ready."

Jane closed her eyes, "Yes, I will." She listened to Maura's heartbeat with one ear and the soft pounding of the rain with the other. Soon she was fast asleep.

Maura kissed Jane's head again and closed her own eyes, listening to Jane's slow steady breathing. She stroked Jane's back lovingly, smiling at Jane as she moaned in her sleep.

Soon, Maura joined Jane, both locked in each other's arms, the rain still pounding against the window.
