Thank you all for your reviews, lilbit1016 suggested a shower scene and I had already thought of that but with Maura having a cast on her leg and Jane having one on her hand I found it hard to do. Maybe my next story. Keep those reviews and ideas coming.

Chapter 21

Jane wrapped her arms around Maura as she lay against the length of her. "Just give me a chance to catch my breath." She kissed the top of her head. "That was beyond unbelievable. I guess the right partner does make all the difference."

"Why should I give you a chance to recoup your strength when you didn't give me the chance? I distinctly remember asking you to stop but you kept right on until I passed out. Mind you I'm not complaining, next time I'll know what you are capable of doing to me and be ready for it."

"No pressure there Maura. I've been told that most men can't perform if they are under pressure to match their past performances." Jane smiled up at Maura.

"Well I guess it's a good thing you're not a man then isn't it?" Maura slipped her leg between Jane's legs and began to rub against her center all the while smiling up at Jane. When she felt Jane's hips start to move in rhythm with her body she moved faster and moved her hand down and once again plunged two fingers into Jane's still dripping core then pushed her knee against it forcing them in deeper. Their bodies were in perfect sync with each other.

Maura slowed her body but Jane didn't. "Don't stop Maura I'm close, please don't stop."

When Maura didn't move Jane looked up at her. "Keep your eyes open Jane. I want to watch you when you come and I want you to watch me. I want you to see what you do to me." Maura started to move again and Jane watched, sweat broke out on Maura's brow and Jane thought she was the sexiest thing she had ever seen.

"You…are…so…sexy…right…now." Jane was having a hard time keeping her eyes open but the look of pure ecstasy on Maura's face made her want to. She reached behind Maura and raked her fingernails from her shoulders to the base of her spine and reveled in the hiss that escaped from Maura's lips and watched as her eyes closed in pleasure. "You like that huh?" Maura nodded quickly. "Maura faster please." Jane's hand started to slither down her body and as she tried to slip her hand between their bodies to touch Maura but Maura reached for her hand and forced it up above her head then reached for the other one and placed it next to the other one.

"Can you keep your hands up there? If you move them I will stop immediately. If you need help keeping them still you can hold on to the headboard." Maura watched as Jane grabbed the headboard with her good hand then lowered it so that it rested on top of the cast on her other hand. "Very good Jane." Jane hadn't even noticed that Maura's other hand had stopped moving inside her as she was mesmerized by this woman above her. She'd never seen this side of Maura and she really liked it. "Jane you have no idea what you are doing to me right now. I want to taste all of you." She lowered her lips to Jane's ear and whispered. "How long do you thing you can hold on? I want this to last."

It was then that Jane finally realized that Maura's hand was still. "God you are an evil woman." She smiled up at Maura. "You distract me with one thing while you stop what you had been doing. That doesn't mean I'm not turned on. I don't know how long I can wait Maura, it won't take much." She watched as Maura pulled her fingers out and brought them to her lips and one by one licked them clean. "Holy shit that is so not fair. If you want this to last you have to stop doing things like that." She moved her hips trying to make some sort of contact with Maura's body but Maura pushed her hips back down against the bed. "Aw come on Maura, help me out here a little bit. I'm dying here. Please! Is that what you want, you want me to beg for it?"

"No Jane I want you to relax and enjoy it." She continued to whisper in Jane's ear. "Tell me what you like Jane."

"No complaints so far, everything you do turns me on. Your eyes are so dark and smoky. Your voice is so low it makes me shiver and your hands should be registered as lethal weapons. I want you so bad right now and you know if I wanted to I could overpower you and you couldn't stop me."

"But you won't because you like what I'm doing to you and you know in the end that it will be worth it. I will make sure of that." She almost growled as she bit Jane's ear lobe then licked it to soothe it. She continued to nip and lick her way around her neck to pay homage to the other side. She slowly worked her way down to her heaving chest and looked up at Jane whose hands were still grasping the headboard, and she didn't think she had ever seen anything as sexy as that. "You are so beautiful Jane, and right now with that look of hunger on your face you are sexy as hell. I hope you don't mind if I take my time."

Jane's breathing was once again coming in gasps and she was finding it hard to answer but she knew she had to. "Hell yes…I mind…if you take…your time. I need you…inside me Maura. You can…take your time…next time…I promise."

"But Jane I like the taste of you. You are a mixture of…" She took one of the rock hard nipples into her mouth then released it very slowly. "sweet sweat and an essence that is all you. I'm going to have to taste you after our next yoga class to see if you taste the same then." She smiled up at Jane. "Just for science sake mind you."

"Maura you're killing me here." When Jane's hips started to move against Maura's body she didn't stop her this time. "Please baby I need…"

Maura none to gently bit down on Jane's pert nipple and smiled when Jane hissed but didn't complain. She then decided to continue her exploration of Jane's body by licking between her breasts and gently biting down on the other breast and was pleased when Jane's hip pushed even harder against her own hips. "Do you like that Jane? Open your eyes Jane, watch me make love to you. Watch me taste every inch of your body and enjoy every minute of it as much if not more than you are." She moved down to the gun shot scar and paid special attention to it. "This one reminds me of two things that also happened that day. I almost lost you but it made me realize how much I really did love you and need you in my life and it made me realize what a special person you are, you were willing to give your life to ensure the safety of your brother."

"Yours too. I wanted…you safe too." Jane's breathing was becoming more and more labored and Maura decided it was time to take mercy on her. Without any warning Maura reached down and drove her fingers into Jane's core with such force she was afraid she'd hurt Jane until she looked at her face and saw nothing but unadulterated pleasure. "Fuck Maura that feels fucking fantastic." Maura continued at a pace she knew she could keep very long but she knew it would take very long. She moved her thumb so that with each thrust it would rub against Jane's already engorged clit. "Shit I'm sooo close don't you dare stop this time or I won't be responsible for my actions." Her hips rose up to gladly meet every thrust Maura offered and when she finally came she wasn't surprised by its intensity. She felt as if the orgasm went on forever and Maura's talented fingers slowed but did not stop. Jane now knew what Maura meant about feeling like she was going to pass out because it was the last thought Jane had before she woke again wrapped protectively in Maura's loving arms. Jane slowly looked up at Maura and if she had any strength left in her body she would have taken her right then and there. She looked so sexy laying there holding her. "Proud of yourself aren't you?" Jane said when she felt capable of talking.

Maura looked down at the woman lying in her arms and gave her a tender smile. "A little bit but damn that was sooo hot. I've never felt this satisfied in my life. I think I now know what it truly means to make love with someone. I love you Jane."

Jane felt humbled by the sincerity in Maura voice and now that she's had time to think about it she knew what Maura was talking about. "Yeah I know what you mean." Jane turned on her side so that she was face to face with Maura and placed her good hand on her cheek. "I love you too."

"Can I ask you a question?" Maura asked rather tentatively, which wasn't her usual style and when she felt Jane's body stiffen she regretted asking. "Forget it, it wasn't important."

Jane could feel the difference in the room and knew that whatever it was that was bothering Maura was the cause of it and it wasn't going to go away on its own. "Oh no you can't say something in that serious tone of voice then change your mind. What did you want to ask?"

"When I said you were willing to give your life for the safety of Frankie you said it was for me too. What did you mean by that?" Maura turned to look at Jane and gave her a tentative smile.

"Is that what has you worried? Bobby knew you were going to follow me out of the building and he'd told me that he was going to shoot you when you came through the door and I couldn't let that happen. I had known long before then that I loved you so I knew I had to do something to stop him. I did the only thing I could think of to do." Jane looked down and was surprised to see a hint of anger on Maura's face. "Aw come on are we going to go there again. You said you'd already accepted why I did it and were ok with it. Are you saying now you're not?"

"Oh Jane I'm not mad at you." She caressed Jane's cheek and gave her a long lingering kiss to show her she wasn't mad at her. "I'm mad at Bobby for putting you in the position where you had to make the decision that you did. Knowing that you not only did it for Frankie but you were willing to give your life for me humbles me and makes me love you even more. It scares me a little bit but I can live with that."

"What scares you?" Jane pulled her closer.

"Your intensity. I knew you would always put others before yourself but it sure scares me to know that I have that kind of power over someone. I don't mean that I would use that knowledge in any way but to know that you would do it again without thinking about it scares me. I know I can't change that about you and I never would because you would resent me because of it but I can't stop it from scaring me."

Jane wasn't sure what to say to this. She knew what Maura was talking about and she wished she could reassure her by telling her it would never happen again but she couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't. "I don't know what you want me to say Maura. I can't change who I am or how I do things. I wish I could say it won't happen again but I can't. I can try to be more careful but it's all I can do."

Maura went up so that she could look down at Jane. "Don't you dare change anything." Jane was surprised by intensity of her statement. "I don't want you to change because then you would be thinking about that instead of thinking about what you are doing. I know that when you shot yourself you thought it was the only thing you could do and it all turned out fine. So just be yourself, you've proven to me that you never make a decision lightly so I will trust your judgment." She felt Jane let out the breath she had been holding and had to laugh. "I hope all of our post coital conversations aren't going to be this heavy." She turned in time to see Jane blush. "Oh you are just too cute. We've just spent the day being as intimate with each other as two people can be, more than I've ever been with anyone ever before, but you blush when I say coital?"

She blushed even more when she realized Maura knew why she had blushed to begin with. "There are certain things I can talk about with anyone but there are other things that I can't even talk to Ma about. And you know you can say anything to Ma. Sex is one of those things I have problems talking about. Having sex is one thing but talking about it is a whole differently thing." She smiled apologetically up at Maura.

Maura leaned down and kissed Jane then laid her head on Jane's chest. "I can attest to the fact that you are definitely good at having sex and I looked forward to investigating different ways that we can do that and I promise I will not make you talk about it if you don't want to. Can we sleep now?"

Jane wrapped her arm around Maura's shoulders then pulled her against her. "Are you going to sleep this time or are you going to ravage my body again? Not that I'm complaining." She kissed Maura before she lay back against the pillow.

"I'm too tired to ravage you but I can't guarantee it won't happen when we wake up." Maura smiled as she lay her head on Jane's shoulder and let out a contented sigh.

"What an animal." Jane said and laughed as they both fell asleep.
