Maura slightly blushed from the statement. She sat back onto her legs and exhaled, while glancing off and smiling.

The mood in the room has changed from crazy amounts of desire, into something simpler. Jane and Maura. Jane's eyes looked over Maura's face.

"There are some studies that suggest that stuttering is a result of experiencing high emotions in the moment. I never stutter. My mother always taught me how important it is to speak efficiently because it portrays a sense of elegance." Maura explained.

"Um, well, I'm pretty sure you just did."

"That only happens with you." Her eyes shifted onto Jane.

Jane inhaled. "This is all a bit much, isn't it?"

Maura was feeling more comfortable with Jane as she had expressed most of her emotions about her physically within the last hour.

"I've wanted you for a long time. I don't want to have you though because of a game I found on the internet. It would be disappointing to have thought you had slept with me because we were playing a game."

Jane laughed. "I don't know if you have realized by now, but I love doing all of this regardless if there is a game or no game involved."

"You do?"

"No, never." Obvious sarcasm shining through her voice.

"Oh." Maura sounded disappointing.

"Jesus, yes, Maura! I like doing it."

"Doing what?"

"Oh, my god." Jane reached in quickly, cupping both sides of Maura's cheeks and kissed her hard. She pulled back slowly. Her eyebrows raised facing Maura.

Maura smiled sweetly. "Oh, sarcasm."

Jane rolled her eyes. "You're the dumbest genius I know."

"I'm the only genius you know." Maura stated blankly.

"Oh, brother."

"So, if you liked sharing physical intimacy with me, why did you stop?"

"Well, considering our first kiss was an hour ago, it's a little extreme to be going straight to bed."

"Do you not want to do it again?"

"No, Maura. That's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying that we are moving a bit fast."

"Where do you feel comfortable then?"

"I dunno, I like kissing and stuff."

"and stuff?"

"Jesus. I liked touching…" Jane's eyes went back to staring at Maura's breasts. She had goose bumps over her skin. "..you're cold."

"Yes, a little. Perhaps we should put our blouses on."

Jane got up from the couch. "I'll get you a shirt. Hold on." Jane ran to her bedroom and picked up an old t-shirt in her top drawer and put one on herself. She came back out of the room and handed Maura the shirt. Maura put her shirt on as well.

"So, you like kissing me?" Maura was smiling as she made the statement.

Jane gave her a look. "Yes."

"So, I can kiss you from now on?"

Jane was starting to blush. "Yes….but don't, don't do anything at work. Like, don't do things to tease me."

"Like what?"

"Like earlier."

"I'm sorry, what?"

"When you bent down in front of me to pick up Frost's pen."

Maura lightly giggled. "That was NOT on purpose."

Jane had a sour look on her face.

Maura started again; "Maybe you should refrain from checking me out while on the job."

"I wasn't checking you out! You bent down in front of me!"

"What about all the other times when you stare at my breasts?"

"Oh my god!" Jane was bright red. "How come you let me go all this time thinking I was being subtle?"

Maura smirked. "I liked it."

Jane smiled. "So, are you staying the night?" She bit her lip as she asked.

"I'm too intoxicated to drive, but if you like I can call a cab."

"No, that's not what I…I want you to stay."

"Only if it's in your bed with you."

"When is it ever not?"

Maura smiled. "So, we can continue being physically intimate after today?" Maura wanted limits and rules to this new adventure they were starting together.

"Just not too much. I don't know how much I can handle."

"Okay."

Jane had a lot going through her head. It was hard to process that Maura has wanted her for such a long period of time and had never made advancement towards her. It was hard to imagine all of this time they could have been kissing…and stuff. Jane shook that thought from her head, because she knew it would only lead to her being turned on again.

Maura was satisfied. Jane had agreed to explore their physical connection further though on her own terms. It's understandable that she is a little resistant to having sex right away. This is all new to her, so it may take some time to process what exactly she wants from me or in general. Still, this has gone remarkably well considering the alternative event. It will be frustrating that I won't be sexually satisfied, yet turned on for an amount of time. The amount of time is still undefined. Ugh.

Eventually the two made it to the bedroom. Maura got ready first in the bathroom with her own tooth brush Jane had set aside for her. Maura made her way into Jane's bed, while gently closing her eyes.

Jane made her way into the bathroom, taking an abnormal amount of time in there before she got into bed with Maura. Eventually she made her way out. She scooted in next to Maura and perceived that she must have been asleep. Jane now feeling welcome to express her feelings to her, lay a gentle kiss on her cheek. Maura turned around to the detective and placed a kiss on her lips. Maura was now facing Jane. She ran her tongue over Jane's lips, deepening the kiss. Eventually Maura's tongue made it inside of her mouth, massaging gently. Jane pulled back when she started to feel herself lose control in the kiss.

"Behave, Maura."

Great.

Alright, definitely pumped the breaks on the ladies going full force onto each other. However, I agree with them and think it'll be more fun when the two parties aren't being pressured by a card game. I apologize that this chapter was rather short. I'm about to head to work. On another note, what would you ladies like to see in future chapters? Maybe I can incorporate it into the story.
