Jane reached for her wine glass. She took a long swig; obviously stalling time before she would have to decide where to kiss Maura. I don't want to be too forward by kissing her on the lips. All of this is is just for me to see if I find women attractive. Kissing her on the cheek just seems….and her neck, for thirteen seconds! I can't figure out if my luck has run out or I just fell into good luck. Maura's voice broke her thought cycle.
"Jane?" Maura asked, looking up at her in uncertainty.
"Yeah?"
"We don't have to…if you don't feel comfortable kissing me, it's okay. We can stop the game." Maura said with obvious disappointment in her voice.
Jane's head shot up. She realized by the sound of her voice that Maura was obviously feeling rejected in a sense. Her stalling just brought a mass of unanswered questions to Maura's head.
"No, no. I, uh, was just thinking about um, the case." Jane said as an obvious cover-up.
"The case?"
Jane could now feel Maura's feelings shift in the air from lustful to confused. Shit. Maura sat back into the corner of the couch farther away from Jane. Her body was facing Jane, with her leg bent underneath her and the other one staying flat on the floor. Jane couldn't bear the look of confusion on Maura's face. Not that it was all out of pity, but to let Maura think that Jane was rejecting her was anything farther than the truth. Jane glanced up at her and saw the dazed look in Maura's face as she was trying to analyze Jane's responses. Time to grow some balls. Jane shifted closer to Maura. Their thighs were pushing up against each other. Jane put her hand on Maura's thigh. Maura's head shifted from her daze and looked up at Jane. Jane reached her hand out to Maura's cheek.
She glanced up at Maura's eyes looking for permission, and then back down at her lips. She leaned in slowly and eventually met the doctor's pink soft lips. Maura's eyes fluttered closed in response. Maura reached out her hand and laid it on Jane's knee. Jane pulled back slightly only to readjust her position with a slightly opened mouth. Maura could feel that Jane was deepening the kiss and gently slipped the tip of her tongue out and ran it along Jane's lip. The doctor could feel a small shudder on Jane's part from the interaction. The kiss was slow and sweet and something more. Eventually Maura nearly made her way into Jane's lap with the intensity of the kiss. They continued kissing until Jane slowly pulled back.
"I believe that was more than thirteen seconds." Jane said with a smirk. Maura now had her arms draped around Jane's neck. She looked up at the detective's eyes. Maura glanced back down at the card table. She reached out her hand while still in Jane's lap and flipped over the next card as quickly as possible. A four of clubs. Maura did not even take a moment to analyze Jane's response. She looked back down at Jane's lips and in one rapid moment, took the bottom of Jane's lip in her mouth and nibbled lightly. She went slowly until eventually her time was up. Maura placed a light kiss on Jane's mouth after she was done biting the detective's bottom lip. Jane was nearly paralyzed. It was a lot to handle with Maura on top of her, in her lap, kissing her seductively. Jane looked into her eyes. She cleared her throat.
Maura raised her eye brows at Jane in a challenging way. Jane slowly reached out her hand and picked up the next card. An ace of hearts. Jane had a slight smirk on her face and leaned forward to place a gentle kiss on Maura's lips. Jane was feeling somewhat reserved to show all the emotions she was feeling from the previous kiss. Jane's curiosity of Maura's true intentions grew larger as more of their physical intimacy continued. Maura searched into Jane's eyes and saw that there were dozens of questions behind them. Uncertain of what to do, Maura drew the next card. A joker.
Maura turned back to Jane to read the expression on her face. "I guess this would make it your call, Jane." The ME was smiling in anticipation.
Jane wasn't certain what to do with the card, but decided now was her opportunity to take advantage of the game. She thought long and hard how to word her demand correctly.
"I want you to answer all the questions I have."
"Jane, that's hardly physical."
"You never said it had to be physical." Jane smirked wide. She was anxious to get to the bottom of all her unanswered questions.
Oh no. Maura was kicking herself for not wording the game rules as precisely as she should have. She was hoping that the open rules would lead to more physical activity, not an inquisition. Maura gently pushed herself away from Jane so she was no longer on top of her. She looked up at Jane half in fright. She wasn't certain how much of her feelings she was going to have to unveil.
"Okay. How many questions?"
"Four."
"Okay."
"How come last night you said 'good'? And then suddenly hung up?"
Maura could already see where these questions were heading. I should just answer as honest as possible. It's impossible for me to lie, and half-answered questions will just lead to more questions.
"I enjoyed turning you on."
"Why?"
"It turns me on."
Even still in the midst of the conversation, Jane could not control her eyes from glancing down to Maura's breasts.
"Um, do you have stronger feelings for me then you have led on?" What Jane really had wanted to say, "Do you love me like I love you?" but expressing so many emotions at once was hardly in the cards for her.
"I believe I do. It is hard to tell since we haven't been able to progress our relationship farther than friendship."
"Am I the first girl you've done this stuff with?"
"Stuff?"
Dammit, you and your details. "You know, kissing, and stuff."
"Surprisingly, yes." Jane felt somewhat relieved from Maura's response. Thank God.
"Okay, and—
"That was four!"
"No, it wasn't!"
"Yes, you asked me why I said 'good', one, and then you asked why I enjoyed turning you on, two, then about my feelings for you, three, and if I was the first girl. FOUR." Maura was slightly giggly from the wine, happy the questions were finally over.
"Dammit, Maur. That's—"Jane was mentally kicking herself for numbering the amount of questions she had. Jane was interrupted by Maura taking her heel off on her foot and rubbing it along the calf of Jane's leg. She glanced over at Maura and saw her sunk back into the corner of the couch. Lying slightly down in her lacy black bra with the glass of wine in her hand. She was caught off guard by how beautiful Maura looked. A mixture of elegance, sex, and love radiated off of Maura.
If she thinks she's going to play filthy with her whole question charade, she has no idea what she's in for tonight. Maura caught Jane's eyes and slowly reached over for the next card. A joker. Maura wore the biggest grin. Perfect.
"That's impossible!" Jane was somewhat afraid Maura was going to run her through the same examination she put her through. Still not quite ready for the questions, she grew anxious.
"Impossible, no. Improbable, yes. Looks like it's my call."
Jane glanced back over to her, nervous for what was about to come.
"Okay, what do you want?"
"Touch me where you've been looking all night…."
Alright everyone, I know I kind of pumped the breaks on how quickly our ladies were having fun, but I thought it important that some of their emotions be cleared up. Wouldn't want them sleeping together, just for an experiment, right? …well, don't answer that. Anyways, what's your favorite part of this chapter? The whole story? I love hearing what you ladies think.
