Jane awoke to the smell of bacon and coffee. The sunshine streaming through the bedroom window and onto her face. She squinted as she rolled over to avoid the strain on her eyes. She felt the cool sheets beside her and realized her girlfriend has been awake for quite some time. She sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes. The exhaustion from yesterday faded a bit and she felt like a real person again. She grabbed a pair of shorts and a shirt and followed the aromas.
"Babe?" Jane looked at her girlfriend in the kitchen. Covered in nothing but a tight tank top and underwear. "What time is it?"
"Good morning," Maura smiled up at her. "It's eleven thirty."
"I slept a long time," Jane sat at her island, rubbed the sleep from her eyes, and smiled at the look of her girlfriend handing her a coffee. "I could get used to this."
"Me dressed in underwear and a tank top or delivering coffee?" Maura laughed.
"Both," she smiled up. "Thank you for putting up with me."
"I love you Jane," Maura pushed the cup of coffee further for the brunette to take. "I knew there was an explanation, I just needed you to be honest with me," Jane nodded her head in agreement. "Would you like blueberry or chocolate chip pancakes?"
"Pancakes?" Jane's ears perked up. "You're letting me have pancakes?" Jane knew Maura was going to make them healthy somehow. But she didn't care.
"Yes since you don't have a practice to go to, you get pancakes. Chocolate chip or blueberry?"
"Chocolate chip please," Jane smiled as she sipped on her coffee. "Hmmm," Jane moaned, the coffee was perfect. "I love you, and I'm sorry I ruined last night."
"You'll just have to make it up to me by taking me on a date," Maura winked as she stirred chocolate chips into the pancake batter. "I especially want a date where you're dressed in that white button down and I get to rip it off you at the end of the night," Maura wiggled her eyebrows in anticipation.
"How about just you and me, naked in this apartment all day?" Jane suggested. "Pizza, movies, sex? Doesn't that seem tempting?"
"That sounds glorious," Maura smiled as she flipped the pancakes on the griddle. "Spending a whole day, just the two of us, all day," Maura moaned as she plated the bacon and pancakes and placed the chocolate breakfast in front of the brunette. She leaned in to kiss Jane, "I love you."
"I love you too," Jane smiled as she pulled away. "Thank you for breakfast," Jane took a bite of the crisped bacon into her mouth and moaned.
"I'm going to miss this place," Jane sighed as she layed on her couch with the blonde. After returning to bed after breakfast and having three rounds of makeup sex, the pair was laying on the couch watching a movie. Jane's front against Maura's back and Jane's arm was thrown across her naked girlfriend. A cold pizza resting on the coffee table and empty beer bottles and wine glasses scattered around them. "This is the first place I lived in once I returned from California."
"You know you don't have to move into my place, we can move here," Maura turned her head slightly to look back at Jane.
"Are you kidding?" Jane laughed. "Your place is amazing. This place is a dump compared to your's," Jane pulled the blonde's lips into a kiss and whispered. "We're definitely living at your place," Jane leaned back down to kiss the doctor.
"Mmmm," Maura moaned into the kiss. "We said we were going to watch a movie before getting back into it," Maura laughed as she pulled away from Jane.
"The movie's almost over," Jane said in between the heated kisses.
"The movie just started," Maura laughed as Jane's hands began to roam over her abdomen. Her fingers brushing the blonde's soft, silky skin lightly.
"Are you saying you don't want to go another round?" Jane whispered into Maura's ear. Jane's fingers moving from Maura's stomach to the valley between her breasts. She leaned in to kiss the blonde again. This time, soft and slow. Increasing the speed to show her need for another.
"I would never say that," Maura smiled as she pulled away and pulled the blanket off their bodies. "But I don't want another round on the couch," she whispered to the brunette.
"Oh?" Jane smiled. "Where would you like this next round to be?"
Maura wiggled her finger for Jane to move closer. She leaned down and brushed her nose against Jane's hair. "How about in the shower?" Maura whispered.
"The shower?" Jane widened her eyes and laughed. "I will always be available to take a shower with you. The cool water dripping down the valley between your boobs," Jane ran her finger over Maura's breast.
Maura moaned as Jane's hands danced around her nipple. Jane's fingers lightly traced the perimeter of the pink peaks. Maura's moans got louder and louder, "let's go shower now."
"I'm kinda liking the slow build up," Jane moaned into Maura's ear. Jane's fingers slowly followed the path between Maura's breasts to her navel. Jane's kisses continued to assault Maura's neck.
Maura turned around in Jane's arms, her erect nipples grazing the brunette's. She heard a slight moan come out of Jane. "You want to play that game?" Maura raised her eyebrow. "I can definitely play that game," Maura smiled as she dipped her head to lick and suck on the crevice below Jane's collar bone. She felt the brunette give in slightly as her body began to relax against her. Maura's hands lightly brushed over Jane's nipples. Enough for Jane to feel pleasure, but not enough to give Jane the relief she was craving.
"Maur," Jane moaned into the blonde's hair. "Let's head to the shower," she rasped out as Maura's tongue slid up to the spot where Jane's neck meets her shoulder.
"Oh no," Maura whispered against Jane's neck. "You wanted the slow build up," Maura kissed her way from Jane's neck down the center of her chest, and finally to the space between her breasts.
"You're teasing me," Jane pouted as the blonde continued her descent towards Jane's navel.
"I'm teasing you?" Maura pulled her head up and smiled up at the brunette. "You just said this was what you wanted. I'm confused Jane, what do you want?"
"I want you in the shower," Jane demanded. She rolled her legs over the blonde and attached her lips to Maura's. She pulled up the blonde with her as she stood. Jane rested her hand on the small of the blonde's back and guided her towards the shower. Their lips in a battle for control as Jane reached around the blonde to find the knob of the shower. She let the cool water begin to turn warm before she guided the blonde into the tiled surface.
She put the blonde directly under the water as she dipped her head to meet the swollen pink lips of the blonde. Jane went to grab the loofa that was hanging in the shower, when her hand was trapped and pulled to rest against the lower back of the blonde. Jane pulled her lips back from the blonde's and widened her eyes in surprise.
"Sex now, soap later," Maura moaned against her mouth as she felt pressure on her lower back, forcing her to come flush against the brunette. The large breasts dripping water onto the slightly dry brunette in front of her. Maura laughed and pulled the brunette under the cascading water. Jane shrieked as the cold water met her heated skin.
"A little warning would have been nice," Jane laughed as she turned the shower knob up a little bit. She returned her hands to the blondes back as she stared into the blonde's eyes. The green orbs sparkled up at her. Jane read the expression wiped over Maura's face, happiness. They were happy. Yes, they have had a couple of bumps in the road. Jane looked back at what an ass she was last night. Set backs like that. But Maura was such a good person and loved her so deeply, that Jane's mistake was forgiven.
Jane made a mental note not to make Maura that angry again. Maura was scary when she was that angry. The way she held herself in front of Jane last night. Intimidating stances and the glare that made her physically shake, when they had kids she'll already have that look down.
"Hey," Maura reached up to brush Jane's hair behind her ear. Her hand came to rest on Jane's cheek. "Where'd you go?"
"Sorry," Jane smiled slightly and returned her eyes to the blondes. "I got distracted."
"By what?" Maura gently brushed her fingers down the length of Jane's jaw.
"Just about how angry you were last night," Jane sighed. "I'm sorry I was an ass," Jane dropped her eyes and brought her hand to rest against the blondes. "I'm sorry I didn't give you the happy night you deserve."
"I thought we talked about this already?" Maura laughed. "I was certainly angry because I thought you left because you didn't want to spend that time with me. That I gave you so many opportunities to let me go alone and let you get some sleep," Maura smiled up at Jane. "But to find out your emotions were running high and that your exhaustion didn't help… It happens to the best of us Jane. You've had such a long week," Maura leaned up to kiss the vulnerable brunette in front of her. "Both a physically and emotionally long week."
"How are you so understanding?" Jane looked back at the blonde in front of her.
"Because I know exactly what you're going through. When you share with me how you're feeling it allows me to be able to understand where the cause of your actions are. You are allowed to feel your feelings Jane, and you shouldn't have to apologize for them," Maura smiled up at her. "And it helps that I love you."
Jane leaned down to capture the blonde in a kiss that expressed all of her emotions. Expressing her fear, her sadness, her joy and happiness, her love… Most importantly her love. "I love you so much," Jane smiled into the kiss.
"I love you so much Jane," Maura captured Jane in a soul crushing kiss. "I love you with all of my heart."
