Tilting her head up, she allowed the water to hit her face directly—the pressure caressing the right spots to make her drift. Although she preferred baths, sometimes a shower was more efficient in unwinding her...it had been one of those weeks. Besides dinner and going straight to bed when arriving home, she barely saw Jane for the past days. Usually, this didn't affect her, but this time was different. Sitting in the office, knowing her girlfriend was undercover in such a high-risk mission, it was impossible not to picture the worst-case scenarios that could be unfolding at the exact time. Her stomach twisting at the awareness of everything they didn't experience yet—being an official couple at work; vows in front of their loved ones; holidays with their families; kids; her hands on Jane's body; Jane's hands on her body...Jane's hands on her body. If only she felt desire. If only love and wanting were enough. If only the small sparkles she was starting to feel were fiery enough. If only she weren't so afraid...The new scanty sensations were panicking her. She was too scared of mistaking passion for a manic episode, and be unable to restrain herself. It would be brutal to Jane, and Maura knew she would never forgive herself for it. Sighing, she turned off the shower.

Walking into the living room, the blonde stopped to look at Jane. She couldn't explain what was changing inside her, but it was as if she was seeing her girlfriend for the first time. Smiling, she walked towards her and sat on the couch's end—carefully stretching her legs over her lap and embracing her. Pulling the dark hair aside, Maura kissed her cheek gently and rested a hand on the detective's stomach. Instantly, Jane wrapped an arm around her and began stroking her knee.

M: "Your hair looks so good."

J: "They only trimmed the split ends, Maur."

Blushing, the ME administered more kisses on her face. Then, swiftly brushed her lips against the skin behind her ear—briefly shutting her eyes.

M: "I don't know what products they used, but you smell amazing...although I still prefer your lavender shampoo."

Pulling lightly apart, Jane gave her a quick kiss on the lips.

J: "What do you wanna watch?"

M: "Anything. I just want to cuddle."

J: "You've been so melty lately."

M: "Can't a girl just enjoy her girlfriend?"

As usual, Jane deliberately slipped her hand underneath the blonde's silk pyjama top but noticed something different. When her fingertips reached the smooth skin, Maura shivered quietly. Surprised with the reaction, the detective looked at her—slowly gliding her fingers from her stomach upwards, pausing before reaching her chest. Unsure of what to do next and trying to avoid pressuring Maura, again, by mistake, she observed her in hopes of getting some sort of clarity. For a few seconds, Jane could've sworn she saw her closing her eyes. The ME lightly parted her lips, and her breathing got heavier than usual. Amazed by the half-open hazel eyes and the flush gradually appearing on her chest, Jane pressed their lips together. Instantly, Maura gasped silently trying to bring their bodies closer. Unable to control herself and before knowing what she was doing, the brunette slid her tongue inside her girlfriend's mouth while reaching for her breast—gently trying fo feel all of it. Shit. Hearing the blonde exhaling louder, Jane swiftly held her by the waist and pulled her underneath her. Maura cupped her face and brought her closer, kissing her eagerly while adjusting her legs so she could lay easily between them. Shit. Clumsily pulling the blonde's pyjama above her chest, the detective resumed the touches from before, receiving a loud moan. Shit.

With the remaining self-control still left in her, Jane rested her face against her chest, trying to calm herself down. If they kept this way, everything would be over much sooner than what she wished for. There was no way she was going to rush this, no matter how hard she had to focus and fight her instincts. Shit. She couldn't believe this was actually happening. After a while, feeling one of the ME's hands reaching her hip while the other kept still on her shoulder, Jane tried to look into her eyes. The blonde kept hers closed and bit her bottom lip, gradually recovering her breath. When she opened her eyes, full of affection and passion, the detective began kissing her as deep as slowly as she was able to.

M: "Fuck, Jane..."

Carefully, Jane stopped and looked at her, amazed by the effect she had on the woman. Yet, she was still unsure.

J: "You ok?"

M: "I...I think w-we shoul-"

J: "Do you wanna stop? It's ok if y-"

Blushing hard, Maura spoke distinctly quiet as her eyes travelled anywhere but her girlfriend.

M: "No...I was going to ask if you want to go upstairs."

Walking to the bedroom, both women remained silent—their arms and fingers brushing gently against one another.

Standing by the bed, the ME waited almost anxiously for her girlfriend to make a move. Then, stared at the floor until she felt Jane's hands on her hips. Wrapping her arms as she got kissed, the blonde pressed her body against her girlfriend, enjoying the closeness. As their breathing gradually became faster and the touches turned heavier, Jane smoothly stepped back to undress her, taking time to caress her in the process.

Maybe it was because her girlfriend was still fully clothed, but Maura stood still at once. Her shoulders bending slightly forward and her arms falling along her body as if hiding herself. Biting her lower lip, she realized for the first time how nervous she was. All she wanted to do was give in to her newfound feelings, yet, part of her felt like running away. She was too overwhelmed. The new interaction would change their relationship entirely, and after that, there would be no turning back. She never acted shy and hesitant when it came to sex. Not even during her first time—she was confident, and her only reserve was not knowing how to respond when having someone gazing at her so intensely. But, this was Jane, so she didn't have to worry about making a fool of herself. No. This was precisely why she was suddenly so afraid of rejection. She was scared of not being good enough for her—of not living up to her expectations and ending up being a disappointment. In the end, it didn't matter how good they were together nor how much they loved each other. Fools were the ones that believed looks didn't matter—they did...at least chemistry did. No couple could survive without it. And being the brain a trickster, she was very well aware that Jane's attraction could be gone in a second. At any moment, she could realize that she wasn't that attracted to her; not attracted enough to resume what they were doing. Or maybe, she would see something that would quickly be a turn-off and stop.

J: "Stop overthinking."

M: "I..."

The ME looked down, making the brunette embrace her until she looked at her again. Then, Jane made her foreheads touch while she began caressing her cheek.

J: "Sweetheart...Nothing bad is gonna happen. It's just the two of us...let me take care of you."

With that, Maura brushed her lips against hers, trying to suppress the heartfelt tears that began forming.

M: "I love you so much."

J: "I love you too. So, maybe, let me show you how much I love you."

Running her tongue through Jane's lips, the blonde began caressing her toned stomach before kissing her tenderly. When she felt the brunette shivering from the touch, she pushed against her hips and undressed her.

They remained in the spot, feeling and admiring each other's bodies until their breathing became too intense. Then, Maura carefully helped her laying on the bed.

Straddling Jane, she placed a pillow underneath her head, trying to make her feel more comfortable. Kissing her fiercely, she quickly moved her lips to her neck—running the tip of her tongue over the skin until she found a spot her girlfriend particularly enjoyed and began sucking. Feeling Jane raising her hips towards her, she set a knee between her centre and lowered herself to take a nipple between her lips. The brunette gasped and pulled Maura by the hips, trying to add more pressure as she began grinding her. Immediately, Maura muffled a moan against her breast at the realization of how easily she slid against her. Recovering from the pleasure rolling down her spine, she lowered herself further and pressed her tongue on her stomach.

Unaware of what just happened and how it happened, the blonde found herself being pinned on the mattress. Surprised, she groaned loudly when she felt Jane's mouth on her neck. The detective positioned herself between her legs and held her by the thighs, swiftly moving her hands to rub its inner parts. Running her mouth further down, she nibbled on a nipple until Maura jerked her hips up—her breathing becoming almost desperate. Glancing at her face and seeing the need, Jane worked her tongue through her stomach, moving to bite on the inner tights until reaching her goal.

Maura spread her legs farther, looking for more contact, as her hands slid into the dark curls until the brunette caught them and entwined their fingers together.

Feeling herself almost on edge, the ME tried to pull Jane but failed.

M: "J-Jane...come. Here. I-I wan- touch you a-and...look at y-"

Without saying a word, Jane kissed her deeply, placing her hands on her hips. Managing to control her movements without quivering so much, Maura brushed her hands against her girlfriend's breasts. Then, grabbed her by the hips moving her slowly against her. When Jane picked up the pace and began grinding her faster, the blonde moved her hands between their centres so she could touch her. Groaning as she felt her between her fingers, riding eagerly, Maura slid her tongue inside her mouth. Immediately, Jane imitated her by moving a hand down while she tried to balance herself with the other.

J: "M-Maur...I'm gon-..."

M: "Look at me."

Staring into each other's eyes, Maura tried to muffle her girlfriend's moans with her mouth. Yet, when she saw her expression and felt her shaking against her fingers, the blonde followed her quickly. Waving off the orgasm as their hips crashed together, the women wailed into each other's mouth as they tried to keep their eyes open.

After a while, Jane kissed her softly and rolled on her back. Smiling, she embraced Maura and kissed her forehead, astonished by how beautiful she looked. The ME pulled slightly away so she could be partly on top of her and kissed her tenderly. Snuggling into her girlfriend, Maura kissed her chest and began playing with the curls. Then, smiling, stared at her.

M: "Hey."

J: "Hey."

M: "Honey...you're so beautiful, Jane."

Not knowing what to say, Jane kissed her forehead and started making soothing circles on her shoulder.

J: "Sweetheart..."

M: "I love you."

J: "I love you too."
