A/N: This chapter is rated M.

Jane's POV

The next day, Maura and Jane spent a quiet morning together just enjoying each other's company. Jane had some grading that she had to get done before work the next day, so Maura sat with her on the couch and worked on the Sunday crossword puzzle while Jane graded.

Eventually, Maura went to take a shower and get ready for their date as Jane finished her work. Jane used the bathroom after Maura. After getting ready, Jane found Maura in the living room. As Maura stood up and walked towards her, Jane stopped breathing. Maura was wearing a fitted deep purple dress with a plunging neckline. Her makeup was darker than she typically wore during the day. All in all, the only word that came to Jane's mind was sexy – Dr. Maura Isles was incredibly sexy.

"You look amazing," Jane said.

A soft smile graced Maura's lip. She stepped directly into Jane's space and gave Jane a light kiss. "As do you," she added as she looked Jane up and down. Jane tried not to squirm as Maura was clearly checking her out but relaxed as Maura seemed to approve. She had chosen a simple outfit of fitted black pants paired with a low-cut white top.

Jane gave Maura another quick kiss before pulling away. "We should get going," she said.

Jane was driving and she still refused to tell Maura where they were going, so Maura was surprised when they pulled up in front of a grocery store. As Jane parked, she turned to look at Jane with a confused expression on her face.

Jane laughed, "Don't worry. We're not having our date at the grocery store, but I do have to pick something up. Do you want to come in or wait in the car?"

"I'll come in with you, I suppose."

They entered the grocery store together and Jane went directly to the deli counter where she picked up a basket that she had clearly pre-ordered. As they headed back to the car, Maura asked, "Are you going to explain? What's in the basket?"

"Nope," Jane said. "You'll just have to wait."

They chatted lightly as they drove about 20 minutes out of town. Jane parked in front of a strip mall. Maura raised her eyebrow at Jane causing Jane to laugh at her.

"Okay, okay. Fine, I'll tell you and if you don't like the idea, we can go do something else," Jane told her. "I figured everyone tries to wine and dine you all the time, so I wanted to find something different. I mean, we can do that later, but for our first date, I wanted something memorable. I signed us up for a class at Wine & Design. They serve you wine while you paint whatever the designated picture is for that class. The one I signed us up for is the Eiffel Tower at night. It seemed too perfect to pass up. Also, while you buy the wine there, they don't provide food, but you can bring your own. I got us a charcuterie and cheese board. I know it's not really a meal, but I thought you would enjoy it with the wine and painting…" Jane trailed off unsure if Maura would think this was a lame idea.

But Maura smiled, "I love this idea. Let's go!" They both exited the car, but before they got to the front door, Maura pulled Jane aside to give her a kiss. "Thank you, Jane."

Jane laughed, "You don't even know if you'll like it yet."

"It's wine, charcuterie and cheese, and painting, I think it's safe to say I'll love it, but that's not really what I was thanking you for," Maura said. "It means a lot to me that you tried to think of something I would enjoy – that we both would enjoy."

"As opposed to what?" Jane asked.

Maura tilted her head, unsure of how much to say. "Honestly, I was afraid you were going to try to do something expensive and fancy just to impress me, but what I really want is just to be us."

Jane smiled. "I did consider that," Jane admitted, "but I knew I'd never live up to what you're used to."

Maura shook her head, "I don't need you to do that. I can afford to buy myself whatever I want, but no one else has ever given me the things that you give me on a daily basis – the feelings of being accepted, included, wanted."

Jane pulled Maura into a hug, "Let's enjoy our evening." And they did. The painting was fun. Maura's painting, of course, was perfect, but Jane was pretty happy with hers as well. At the end of the evening they laid them flat in the back of Jane's car to make sure they dried completely before heading back to Jane's apartment. Jane felt like the car was on fire as the sexual tension between them became palpable on the drive home.

When they stepped out of the car, Jane immediately pulled Maura into a passionate kiss as they fumbled their way to the front door. Jane struggled to find her keys and unlock the door as Maura's lips travelled down the side of her neck and Maura's front pressed into her back. As soon as they were through the front door, Maura pinned Jane against the door and kissed her hard.

Maura's POV

Maura started to pull back, but Jane held her in place. "I want to do this," Jane whispered.

Maura looked deep into Jane's eyes, which had turned black with desire. She didn't want Jane to do anything she wasn't ready for, but she couldn't deny that she wanted this, wanted Jane.

Before Maura could respond, Jane lightly pushed against Maura so that they were both standing upright. She grabbed Maura's hand and pulled her towards the bedroom. Once they were in the bedroom, Jane pulled Maura back into a passionate kiss. They stood embraced in the center of the room gently swaying together as they kissed. Maura felt like her body was on fire and she could feel herself getting wet, but she didn't want to rush anything.

Jane walked Maura backwards toward the bed. When the back of her knees hit the bed, Maura sat down, pulling Jane down with her. She ran her hand up and down Jane's back eventually letting her hand go up under her shirt. When Jane pulled back for air, both of them were panting heavily. Maura looked into her eyes silently asking for permission to remove her shirt. Jane stood back up, pulling Maura with her. Once they were standing, Jane allowed Maura to remove her top before she reached around Maura for her zipper. Jane slowly unzipped her dress, running her hand along Maura's back as she moved lower. Maura felt her breath hitch. They had barely done anything, and Maura couldn't believe how turned on she already was.

Jane pulled Maura's dress down and allowed it to fall to the floor before pulling Maura back in for a kiss. Their tongues battled while Maura's hands went to unbutton Jane's pants. She paused for a few seconds to allow Jane to stop her, but when she didn't, Maura slowly lowered Jane's pants down her hips until they fell to the ground. As Jane went to remove her jeans, socks, and shoes, Maura stepped out of her dress and shoes and crawled back on the bed. She reached across to turn on the lamp before sitting back in the middle of the bed.

The light turning on caused Jane to look up, but Maura whispered, "I want to be able to see you."

"Okay," Jane breathed. She couldn't take her eyes off Maura, who sat in the middle of her bed in just her bra and panties. "You are absolutely breathtakingly beautiful."

Maura blushed. Lots of people had told her she was beautiful, many of them had even said it while they were in bed together, but there was something about the way it sounded coming from Jane that made Maura truly believe it. "And you're gorgeous," Maura told Jane as she reached out her hand, an invitation for Jane to join her in bed.

Jane crawled towards Maura, and Maura could see the nervousness in Jane's face and movements. "Come here," she said as she pulled Jane down to her once again capturing her lips in a deep sensual kiss. She loved the feeling of Jane's weight on top of her, the feeling of their skin touching. They laid together like that making out for a while. Maura tried to keep her hands in places she knew Jane would consider "safe." She alternated between running her hands up and down Jane's back and intertwining her fingers in Jane's hair. Eventually, Jane felt comfortable enough to touch her back. She leaned on her right arm and started by running her left hand up Maura's side. She did this a few times before she allowed her hand to drift forward brushing the side of Maura's breast. The unexpected sensation caused Maura's hips to buck and a moan to escape her mouth. This response encouraged Jane, so she reached around Maura and unclasped her bra. She sat back, straddling Maura's hips, and pulled the straps of Maura's bra down her shoulders, eventually removing it completely and dropping it over the side of the bed. She leaned forward to continue kissing Maura. She moved her lips down along Maura's jaw, stopping at her pulse point. Maura let out an audible gasp and turned her head exposing her neck, silently asking for more.

As Jane continued to kiss down Maura's neck, Maura reached around Jane and removed her bra. She slowly pushed Jane back so that she could look at her fully as she ran her hands up Jane's sides eventually cupping her breasts. When Maura gently squeezed, Jane dropped her head back enjoying the feelings Maura was eliciting in her body. After a few minutes of enjoying this, Jane leaned forward again kissing Maura fully on the mouth. She resumed her descent down Maura's jaw and neck moving more quickly this time. She kissed the tops of both of Maura's breasts before pulling her right breast into her mouth. Maura instantly arched her back pushing herself further into Jane. She knew she was already incredibly wet. As Jane continued sucking and circling Maura's nipple with her tongue, she brought her right hand up to play with Maura's left breast. She mirrored the movements of her tongue with her fingers until she had worked both nipples into stiff peaks. She rolled Maura's nipple between her teeth biting softly causing Maura to gasp. She then kissed across Maura's chest and switched to her left breast while her hand played with her right. She gave the same attention to this breast, licking, sucking, and biting until Maura was withering beneath her. She loved the sounds Maura was making and Maura thought she was close to exploding.

"Jane…" Maura breathed.

"What do you want?" Jane asked quietly.

Since Maura couldn't seem to talk, she grabbed Jane's left hand and brought it between her legs. Jane slowly ran to fingers along her folds causing Maura's hips to buck.

"Is there anything you don't like or don't want?" Jane whispered.

"No, you can do anything. I trust you, Jane, but please, I need you," Maura whined.

Jane adjusted her hand and circled Maura's clit lightly. Maura moaned in response and pushed her hips forward seeking more contact. Jane pressed down harder before slipping her fingers further back. She alternated between circling Maura's clit and circling her opening until Maura couldn't stand it anymore and started begging. "Please, Jane. I need…" Maura gasped as Jane plunged two fingers into her opening. Jane didn't give her time to adjust and started pumping hard and fast making sure the heel of her hand hit Maura's clit on every thrust. Maura's hands flew to the bedsheets as she tried to ground herself, but she was quickly overwhelmed. She felt her orgasm crash into her. Every muscle in her body spasmed as she cried out her release. Jane continued pumping into Maura as she rode out her climax, trying to extend Maura's pleasure as long as possible.

Maura collapsed into the bed trying to catch her breath. However, before her body could recover, she felt Jane kiss lower down her body. She was only beginning to process what was happening when Jane's lips wrapped around her hardened clit. Her eyes flew open and her hands flew to Jane's hair.

"Oh, Jane, I don't think…" Maura started, but she couldn't continue as Jane's tongue worked her back up quickly as it circled, tapped, and pushed against her clit. Just as a second orgasm was hitting her, Jane entered her with three fingers. Jane didn't have a chance to pump her fingers as Maura's vaginal walls grabbed hold of her fingers. She curled her fingers inside Maura as she sucked her clit as hard as she could. A second, more powerful orgasm overtook Maura.

When her orgasm subsided, Maura pulled Jane up to her knowing she couldn't go again if Jane tried. She gave Jane a brief kiss on the lips but couldn't deepen it as she still couldn't catch her breath. Jane laid next to Maura, pressed against her side with her head tucked in the crook of her neck just savoring the feelings of being this close to her as Maura recovered.

After a few minutes, Maura found her voice. "Oh my god," she said, still sounding out of breath.

Jane giggled and lifted her head to look at Maura. "I take it you enjoyed that?" she asked with a smirk.

Maura looked Jane in the eye, "That was fucking amazing. I have a hard time believing that is the first time you've ever done that."

This made Jane chuckle. "Well, it's the first time I've done that to another woman, but I figured since I didn't really know what I was doing, I could at least start with what I like. Plus, you're pretty responsive, so I just kept doing more of what you seemed to like."

Maura laughed. "Who would have guessed that the qualities that make you a good detective would also make you good in bed," Maura said.

Jane laughed again and buried her face in the crook of Maura's neck. Maura turned towards Jane and kissed her head.

Humming, Maura whispered, "I love you so much, Jane."

"I love you too, Maura," Jane said as she looked back at Maura. She could see that Maura was struggling to stay awake, so she pulled Maura to her and said, "Sleep, love."

"No, I want to show you how much I love you. I want to make you feel as good as you've made me feel," Maura protested. She really did want to make love to Jane, but her body was exhausted, and she was having a hard time fighting to stay awake for this conversation.

"Tomorrow, love," Jane told her. "We have the rest of our lives to show each other how much we love each other, but now it's time to sleep."

Maura fell asleep before she could even respond with her head on Jane's chest and her arm wrapped around her waist. Jane smiled to herself and pulled the sheet over the both of them, wrapping both her arms around Maura. Before she fell asleep herself, she whispered, "I love you, Maur," one more time.
