Chapter 11 of 12

The month until Christmas passed slowly. Maura didn't tell Jane they would come. They called each other sometimes and then talked for hours, but she didn't mention their visit.

Lotta was super excited when Maura told her they would go and see Jane. When the holidays started, they first visited Maura's parents in New York and from there went to Boston.

It was a day before Christmas, and Maura's heart was racing when she drove the familiar way to Jane's house. Lotta was just as excited as Maura. As soon as the car parked she wanted to hop off. Maura held her back until she had the luggage. "Okay, go ring."

Shivering from the cold they waited until Jane opened the door. "Jane", Lotta bounced up and down. Jane hugged the kid, staring at Maura.

Maura pulled up her shoulders. "Surprise", she grinned.

Jane held her arm out for her, and hugged her tightly when she came over.

They made a quick dinner, and put Lotta down to bed in Jane's spare room. When Maura came back down, Jane was cleaning up.

She sensed Maura watching her and turned around with a smile. "I can't believe you surprised me like that."

"I had a lot to think about, you know. A lot things to decide. It isn't just me any more…" She slowly walked over to Jane. "And then, I realized how much I missed you. And how much I want you." She kissed Jane.

Jane swallowed hard, twice. She kissed Maura, pressing her against the counter. "You have no idea how much I want you, too." Her knee separated Maura's legs, their hips connected. She rubbed her leg against her, kissing her hungrily. Maura moaned into the kiss.

Jane's hands fumbled on the shirt, finally got it off and threw it away. She kissed Maura's shoulders, her breasts. Maura threw her head back in passion. "Hurry", she murmured.

Jane slipped her hand in Maura's Jeans, finding her wet. "My pleasure", she whispered, kissing her. She stroked her, felt her come within a heartbeat.

Maura sank against her. "God, you're trying to kill me."

"Fulfilling your wishes."

Jane led her to the couch, pulled her on her lap. They kissed, Maura's hand stroking over Jane's dark hair, her cheek. Her tongue stroke over Jane's bottom lip, her teeth nibbling the soft flesh. Jane got rid of her shirt, and they managed to get out off their jeans.

Maura let her hands discover Jane again, remembering all her soft spots, touching them, kissing them. Their bodies connected, their hands wandered slowly, enjoying every moment.

Jane kissed Maura, feeling her fingers stroking her, copying every of her movement. Maura's silent moans were everything it needed to bring her over the edge, whispering Maura's name against her lips, feeling her following quickly.

They laid together, holding each other for a while. Then, Jane took Maura's hand. Laying in Jane's bed, Jane loved Maura, once again.

Later, Maura grabbed one for Jane's shirts and put it on, climbing back to Jane.

"Oh, you're already stealing my shirts. I want that back later."

Maura giggled quietly, snuggled her head to Jane's shoulder. Her arms wrapped around Jane's waist, she sighed satisfied. "I can't wait to see your family."

"My mother is super excited; I gave her a call earlier."

They laid in the dark, talking, when they heard naked feet tapping over the floor. "Maura?"

"I'm here, sweetheart."

Lotta crawled onto the bed, slipped under the blanket. "I woke up."

"Did you dream?"

"Mh. Daddy told me that Santa comes during the night and I heard something and…"

"Don't worry, Lotta, Santa will come, but he only brings presents. And I told him to deliver them to my parents. You don't have to be scared", Jane explained. "And if he didn't get the message and still comes, I will make sure he won't get near you."

Maura wrapped the blanket around Lotta, holding her close. When she closed her eyes, having her little girl in her arms, and Jane in her back, she couldn't believe how lucky she was, tonight.
