Summary: Another short, but necessary chapter. Longer ones to come.

Jane awoke a couple of hours later and turned onto her back, looking at the ceiling. She took a moment to stretch and reflect on what had happened in this bed. Her body was delightfully tired in all the right places. She looked over at Maura and was in awe of her beauty and...innocence.

Turning onto her side, she reached out and pushed Maura's hair off of her face. Maura began to stir and smiled as she opened an eye.

"How are you?"

Jane leaned over and kissed her. "I've never been better. You?"

Maura took her hand, "I have everything I've ever wanted."

Jane sighed. "I don't."

Alarmed, Maura struggled to sit up, panic setting in. "Jane..."

She was stopped by Jane's hand on her arm. "I haven't had you yet."

"Oh. Well, here I am." Maura threw the covers back in invitation.

Jane took a glance before rolling out of bed and holding her hand out to Maura.

"Jane?"

"Let's take a shower."

They got into the shower and Jane turned the water on. She carefully and lovingly washed them both and shampooed their hair, whispering words of love and desire.

She then backed Maura up against the shower wall and as the water flowed over them, she began kissing Maura. She stared at the blonde's breast for a moment before touching them, causing them to harden. She bent her head and took one into her mouth, suckling as Maura grabbed her head and moaned.

Emboldened by the sound, Jane pinned Maura by spreading the blonde's legs and slipping two fingers into her. Maura wrapped her legs around Jane's waist as the detective held her with one arm and moved her two fingers in and out of Maura.

She could tell the doctor was getting close and in one fluid motion, she went to her knees ad took the blonde's clit into her mouth, while still pumping in and out of her with her fingers. She managed to look up at Maura, with the water coming down on her. Her eyes locked with Maura's and the doctor began to quiver as her orgasm overtook her. Jane was lapping up the juices coming from Maura. The blonde fell forward, her hands on Jane's back.

Jane managed to get them both upright and they kissed as Jane got the water shut off. She helped get Maura out of the shower and wrapped her in a large towel. She began combing out Maura's hair and massaging her neck.

She leaned down and whispered into the doctor's ear, "Let's go back to bed. I want to taste you again."

Maura reached for Jane once they were back in bed, but Jane stopped her with a shake of her head as she moved over the doctor, covering her body. Both stilled for a minute, experiencing the feeling of skin on skin, clit to clit.

Maura wrapped her arms and legs around Jane. A tear escaped her ey and Jane immediately stopped.

"Maura?"

Maura turned her head and swallowed hard.

"Did I do something wrong?"

"NO! This is just...wow. I've never felt loved like this. It's new for me."

Jane kissed her tears away and then kissed her, deeply, passionately, possessively.

Jane moved down Maura's body and gently parted her folds and began nipping at her. She eased her tongue inside of Maura and went as deep as she could, bringing the blonde's hips off the bed. She held Maura by the hips until she came, crying out her name.

"Shh. I've got you Maura. I've got you."

Jane moved up Maura's body so that her head was resting on Maura's stomach, the blonde's hands stroking her hair. They lay like that for awhile, each lost in their own thoughts.

"What are you thinking, Jane?"

"Everything and nothing."

"No regrets?" Maura had asked the question, a tiny bit afraid of the answer.

Jane lifted her head. "Maura, look at me. No regrets, just amazed at how long it took me to realize that the person I've been meant for, has been here the whole time."

"Some detective and genius doctor we are."

Jane moved so that she now had her head on Maura's shoulder.

"Maura?"

"Hmm?"

"I did that ok, right?"

"Better than ok."

They drifted back off to sleep and made love twice more before morning. Each time, Jane's confidence grew and Maura let her take control more each time.

The Next Morning

Jane and Maura were dead to the world after their night of lovemaking, and had slept through the alarm. They were awakened by Angela Rizzoli throwing the curtains back and clearing her throat.

Jane tried to shield her eyes from the bright light while growling, "Ma!"

Maura joined in with, "Angela!"

Angela Rizzoli stood at the foot of the bed, hands on hips. "I am glad you two have finally consummated your relationship, but you are late for work."

"Ma! Why would you say that?"

"Because it smells like sex in here! Now you two better get a move on. I'll go make coffee." As she turned to leave, she threw over her shoulder, "You need to think about making an honest woman out of Maura, Janie!"

"Ma!"
