I do not own any of these lovely characters, as much as I would like to! I just like to play with them :)

Jane and Maura eat their breakfast as they peruse the possible activities for the day. Jane takes a bite of her bacon as she pointed to the list.

"Deep sea fishing?"

Maura shakes her head and points, "Helicopter tour?" Now it's Jane's turn to shake her head no, she wants to stay on the ground for a couple of days. They continue to eat breakfast as they narrow down their choices. Both speak at once.

"Horseback tour." "Snorkeling."

Jane raises an eyebrow. "I'm willing to get on a horse if you're willing to go swimming with the fishies."

Maura laughs. "It's a deal, maybe I'll even wear that bikini you gave me."

Jane's mouth opens and then closes. She really wants to see Maura in the bikini, but isn't sure she wants to share that view with others. Sigh. Didn't think of that. Oh, well.

Jane clears her throat. "Well, let's finish breakfast and see if we can sign up for activities at the desk."

Maura's eyes sparkle. "Jane, do you think we can fit in some shopping today?"

Jane rolls her eyes as she teases, "Are you sure we'll have enough room in our suitcases?"

"You may be right. I'll be careful so I can save the most room for Paris."

The ladies make their reservations for both activities and go to their room to change.

"Hey, Maur? I didn't pack a cowboy hat or stirrups, can I still ride?"

Maura laughs at Jane's silliness. It is good to feel relaxed. "All you need are sturdy heels, Jane. Those boots will do."

They follow the signs to the stables. "Oh, look at the beautiful Quarter Horses!" Maura is very excited about riding after seeing the immaculate condition of the stables and healthy looks of the horses. The stable master introduces Jane and Maura to their horses. Maura's is a brown and white palomino and Jane has a black horse brought to her.

"Hey there, girl. We're going to be best buds for the next couple of hours, aren't we?" She pats the horse's neck.

"Jane?"

"Yes, Maura?"

"That's a stallion. You may make better friends if you refer to him as a he and not a she." Jane looks under the horse.

"Oh, hey there now. Sorry 'bout that buddy."

The stable master comes by to help everyone get saddled. Jane finds out she is riding Samson and Maura is riding Delilah. They begin with a slow walk through a protected wilderness area of the resort. Maura excitedly identifies the different species of birds they encounter.

"Look, Jane! There is a St Lucia Parrot; the locals call it a Jaquot."

"Listen, Jane! Do you hear that? It is a St Lucia Warbler, a Chic-chic. If we look carefully, we should be able to spot it. It has bright yellow coloring." Maura is looking intently in the trees. "There it is!"

Jane dutifully looks where Maura points, completely entranced by Maura's enthusiasm, thrilled that Maura seems to be relaxed and enjoying herself. The group left the forest and walked along the soft sands of the beach toward the sea. Samson shook his head and did a small sidestep.

"Hey, whatcha doing Samson? Halt!"

Maura gave a small laugh. "I think he might understand, 'Whoa' better, Jane, with a firm pull of the reins. I believe he knows what's coming."

Jane tries to sound casual as she asks, "What's coming?"

Just as Maura was about to offer her conjecture, the lead rider explains what is going to happen on the hard sand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, keep as firm hand on the reins right now. These horses take this ride twice a day and know they are about to have a little fun. We are going to let the horses run on this stretch of the sand. All you need to do, is to hold on tight to the reins, squeeze with your legs and do not pass my horse. Everyone ready? Let's go!"

The lead rider turns his horse. Jane has a brief moment to shoot Maura a look of pure panic before Samson takes off. She hears Maura yell to her, "Relax in your seat, Jane!"

Riiiight Jane thinks as she feels the power of the horse beneath her. She takes a chance to glance over at Maura. Of course she looks relaxed, probably had riding lessons since age 5. Once Jane realizes that she isn't going to fall off, she actually DOES relax and enjoyed the run. All too soon, the ride is done and they are back at the stables.

"Maura! That was amazing! We're going to have to find a place to do that again!"

"I'm sure we can find a ranch and spend a weekend riding if you would like, Jane."

"We totally should." Jane looks at her watch, "We have a little time before lunch, do you want to check out some shops?"

Maura claps her hands in glee. The resort offers a totally inclusive vacation experience which includes some very exclusive shops. Maura finds a very lightweight turquoise summer dress, matching necklace and sandals to purchase and Jane buys a new wallet. A quick, but nutritious salad for lunch and the ladies head back to their room to change for snorkeling. Maura grabs her bikini and goes into the bathroom.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

Maura winks at Jane, "I want to surprise you with it on."

Jane quickly changes into her speedo one piece and waits impatiently on the bed. Soon, the door opens. Maura comes out wrapped in a towel. Jane raises her eyebrow. Maura loosens the towel and let's it drop. Jane's jaw drops to the floor. She jumps up to pull Maura into her arms and kiss her passionately.

"Damn! You look sexy!"

Maura laughs delightedly. "Thank you, Jane. May I remind you that you picked it out?"

"I admit, I have good taste. Then again, anything you wear look great." Jane leans her head down to capture Maura's lips in a passionate kiss. Her hand reaches up to cup Maura's generous breast.

"You know," Jane whispers into Maura's ear, "we could just stay in and skip snorkeling."

Maura takes a shaky breath as she placed her hands on Jane's shoulders to push her slightly away. "Very tempting my darling, but we have all night to explore our carnal pleasures. Let's go snorkeling and think of this as a tantric exercise."

Jane was tempted to pout, but knew that Maura was right. There is plenty of time later, but DAMN, I want her now!

"I totally agree." Jane kisses Maura again. "We shouldn't miss snorkeling." Jane's fingers slide into Maura's bikini bottom and glides through the wetness she finds there.

"Jane..."

"Shhhh." Jane's fingers find Maura's sweet spot. Jane presses up with her finger and begins to move quickly back and forth.

Maura lowers her forehead to Jane's shoulder. "Jane. Please."

"Please what, darling? Stop?" Jane stills her hand for a moment and Maura growls.

"Shhhh, sweetheart. Let go and enjoy." Jane's fingers work their magic once more. Maura grips Jane's shoulders tightly as her hips move against Jane's fingers. She begins to moan as she feels her orgasm building. Jane presses a little harder and Maura's hips buck in response. Maura throws her head back and Jane tightens her grip. Jane loves to watch Maura orgasm, it is a such a beautiful, fulfilling sight to her.

Maura takes a shuddering breath. "Maybe we should skip snorkeling and 'rest' in our room."

Jane chuckles deeply. She slaps Maura playfully on the ass. "Come woman, I promise to continue this tonight. Let's go play in the water." Maura giggles as she takes Jane's hand. As the ladies walk toward the snorkeling area, Jane stops in her tracks.

"Look, Maura!" Jane is pointing at a sign for jet ski rentals.

"We should totally do that instead! It would be like riding a motorcycle on water!"

"Well, I'm not sure it will be exactly…."

"Maur! You know what I mean." Jane is pulling at Maura's hand. "What do you think? 2 singles or 1 double?"

Maura raises her eyebrow. "2 of course. I'm not riding bitch behind you."

Jane's mouth drops open. "Where did you learn that!"

"I may have watched an episode or two of 'Sons of Anarchy' for purely cultural educational expansion."

Jane laughs as she turns to the man stationed with the jet skis. "You heard the lady, can we have 2 jet skis for a couple of hours?" The women get their life jackets on while listening to the quick instructions and settle on the jet skis. Jane watches as Maura saucily blows her a kiss goodbye and takes off.

"So, that's the way it's going to be, huh?" Jane gets a gleam in her eye and chases after Maura.

I'm baaaack! Are you still here? Ready for that trip you've been waiting a year for? Let's go to a tropical paradise.

My love to Belgium.
