The next day Jane yawned lazily, taking the steps to Maura's front door. "The only people up this early are drug dealers and prostitutes" she mumbles to herself. Do I ring the doorbell? What if she's not ready? Jane's anxiety takes the reins once again.

She squinted at her watch just as the door opened. "Punctual. She can be taught" Maura stated.

She lost all control of her facial expression looking at Maura in her sportswear.

Maura tilted her head at Jane who was now openly gawking. It's too early even for Jane to act more becoming. "Use your feet," the ME said with her finger in a come hither motion.

Jane made a face of agony once Maura's back was turned and then replied as calmly as she could muster. "Good morning to you too". She followed Maura to the kitchen where she was blending something green. Too green Jane thought. "Gettin a head start on some pea soup?" she asked the doctor, eying the green liquid in Maura's blender.

"Antioxidant smoothies," Maura said as she placed the jug into the fridge. "Kale, Spinach, Celery, and Pineapple. Excellent source for vitamin B and it boosts your immune system," she said closing the fridge. "Quite refreshing after a run" she adds

"Enjoy," Jane says slowly, rubbing her neck...

"So will you. I made enough for both of us".

"Oh good," She said, her voice laced with sarcasm.

They stretched in Maura's living room and Jane made sure she was facing away from her, trying not to get too distracted. They started off easy but quickly moved to more advanced stretches.

They stand, stretched with one foot in the air, a hand holding it in place. The other leg grounded and the body horizontal. Parallel with the floor.

"You're doing it wrong" Maura stated. Jane looked back at her from an awkwardly stretched position.

"I'm telling you I don't bend that far. Gah! I feel like a wishbone" she said, nearly losing her balance. "No human is meant to bend that far," she added motioning to Maura. Jane lost her balance and flopped to the floor with a thud.

A giggle filled the room and before Jane could register the sound, Maura covered her mouth.

"Was that a laugh?" Jane asked, sounding more surprised than she had meant.

Maura shrugged. "It was funny."

Jane got up with a grunt. "Glad you find my pain amusing."

"Wa you bounced a little when you… hit the floor" she said before bursting with laughter once more, bending over slightly.

Jane couldn't hide the smile forming on her face if her life depended on it. Maura's laugh was even more intoxicating than her other qualities. She truly hoped she wouldn't have to undergo another injury in order to hear it again but she would through herself down a flight of stairs if that's what it took.

Ok, see thats' a crazy thing to think right there. Reil it in Jane, she coached herself. Her true level of infatuation with this woman was starting to seep through for Jane and it scared her. But it thrilled her even more.

Maura is like pure adrenaline into the bloodstream and Jane is vastly becoming an addict.

The actual run was not that bad. Maura filled the silence with endless factoids and quirky bits of information. Jane started teasing her a bit more confidently and learned that just because Maura reacts a certain way, doesn't mean she's pissed or being mean.

For instance, her patented disapproving glare. It may strike outrage or even fear into anyone else, but Jane was beginning to learn that it was Maura's way of conveying tolerance. This was a big step up from what she conveyed before which was nothing.

When you're so inconsequential that her features don't even bother conveying anything to you. Now that was truly scary. The cold look. Those hazel eyes convey so little and yet too much to bear, all at once. It keeps you on your toes for sure but it's also exhausting.

Then there's the head tilt. One of her more sparse expressions. She doesn't do it every time she's fascinated or confused. Only when she's truly captivated by something… or someone? Sometimes she tilts her head and squints her eyes and Jane has to remind herself to breathe.

Then there's the sly smile or half-dimpled one. Jane is yet to catch a full dimpled smile. When she's amused, it only ever lasts briefly of course and she seems irritated with herself afterward. Like she slipped up, god forbid the rest of the world found out she was human.

The smirks are the absolute best and always seem to catch Jane off guard. They've been the cause of destruction for a few coffee cups and fragile items that happened to be in the detective's hold at the time.

Jane was ripped from her train of thought when a woman fell right in front of them. Maura had kept running, she was in the zone or perhaps deep in thought? "Oh, fuck are you ok?!" Jane exclaimed.

She looked really hurt, clutching her ankle. Maura had diagnosed her with a sprained ankle and Jane couldn't help but notice that Maura was being even more rude than usual. Maybe asking her to tag along on her run wasn't such a good idea? She did seem edgier than she normally is.

Gah would it kill her to show some empathy? The poor woman did just face plant on the sidewalk and she's probably embarrassed on top of being injured. Maura is literally looking at her watch like she has someplace better to be.

Is Zoe a frenemy of Maura's or something? She's looking at her like she lit her turtle on fire. Jane finally mustered the courage to ask Maura if she knew her. The quick defensive response followed by the comment invoking an image of a deceased Zoe on Maura's table quickly called for a change in subject.

The rest of the morning seemed to fly by. Jane would never admit it but she had energy to spare after she drank that smoothie. After she had filed the last bit of paperwork, that's been taunting her on the edge of her desk for months, and she even organized her desk– she started thinking about what else the good doctor had possibly slipped in that 'smoothie'.

She joined Frankie for some lunch later that day. "Your ancestors did not survive millennia" she comically dragged out the word. "Of drought famine and genocide for you to not like pickles… grow up" Jane added eliciting a frown from her brother.

He pushed the plate with the pickles he had removed from his burger forward. "I don't like the way my teeth feel when I bite into 'em."

Jane just rolled her eyes and stabbed the pickles onto her fork. "So you and the new doctor?" Jane froze at the mention of Maura mid-bite. "She treating you any better?"

She tried to pinpoint whether letting her eat Maura out fell within the realms of 'better treatment'? "We get the job done Frankie. Can we talk about somethin else?"

"All I know is half the guys I patrol with are scared of her and the other half drool over her. I can't imagine it being that great to work with someone like that."

Jane huffed and threw the last bit of her burger on the plate. "Your point being? Why are we talkin about her, Frankie?"

He sighed. Then held up his hands defensively. "Ma wants her to come to Sunday dinner."

"Oh for the love of Peet why me?! Should've known she would try something like this," Jane said between clenched teeth. Maura would never agree to come and she would look like an idiot for asking, Jane thought.

"She asked me to get you to invite her" Frankie didn't quite look as drained as Jane. "You know how she is? Remember how she made me invite Jimmy to my birthday party? I had to look over my shoulder the entire day to make sure my middle school bully wouldn't shove cake down my pants."

Jane chuckled at the memory of that day. Little did Frankie know that she had been sticking close by and would never have let that weasel-faced kid anywhere near her little brother, especially not on his birthday.

"Yeah…" she threaded her hands through her hair frustratedly. "I'll ask her to keep Ma happy but she won't come, Frankie"

He looked relieved that Jane was conceding, meaning Angela would get off his back. "Well, the way I see it, it's a win-win. Ma's happy cause ya tried and the Queen of the Dead doesn't come anywhere near Sunday dinner-"

"Don't call her that!" Jane growled in a low voice that made Frankie jump in his seat.

Jane was left sitting alone when Frankie had apologized and mumbled some excuse before bolting. This is exactly why she doesn't like talking about Muara. It was becoming hard enough to hear her coworkers talk about Maura like that but now her own brother.

Soon enough she would be the talk of the station for defending her. She sat there thinking about why she was going around defending this woman she hardly knew.

One thing was certain. Things would have to change regarding the gossip and name-calling from her so-called 'brothers in blue'.

She was nearly in the elevator having missed her mothers' attempts to flag her down from the Division one Cafe. "Jaaane!" she stopped in her tracks and looked around to see people searching for where that pitchy scream had come from.

She plastered a smile on her face and headed toward Angela. "Settle down there Marlon Brando."

"Take this to Doctor Isles" Angela held out a salad to go, ignoring Jane's wit. "She hasn't been down for lunch so make sure she eats… I'm trying something new so lemme know how she likes the salad ok hun?" Jane took the container and opened her mouth to ask Angela about her new quest to make her life miserable.

Angela had busied herself with a customer before Jane could give her a piece of her mind about wanting Maura to come to Sunday dinner.

She turned the corner entering Maura's office and ignored the sudden thumping in her ears. To no surprise, Maura hardly acknowledged Angela's gesture. She seemed colder than usual. She hadn't looked up since Jane had entered.

She swallowed and asked whether Maura was angry with her. Her mouth went dry once Maura's hazel eyes found hers at last. Despite her tone being firm and laced with annoyance, Jane couldn't deny the sudden urge to take Maura right there.

"Well, since you're distracted… I should help you focus" Jane said ending with her best Rizzoli smile. That seemed to get her attention, Jane thought triumphantly, leaning forward on the desk with more confidence than she's ever had in the doctors' presence.

Oh, she's considering it. Maybe it's time I showed her the archives in the basement? She does have an appreciation for old things… that and there's a lot of privacy down there, Jane thought to herself.

"That's kind of you detective but I'm sure my focus would improve greatly once you return to your work,". Dammit, what was I thinking? We're at work! Get it together Rizzoli, Jane coached herself, leaning off of Maura's desk.

Her smile returned when Maura asked her to stop by after work.

A few hours later Jane found herself trying to think of every decision that had led to her now standing in her underwear in front of Maura… who seemed to enjoy the show with a shameless grin.

God this woman is going to be the death of me, Jane thought to herself under Maura's gaze. Every fiber of her body was on fire like its never been before and she questioned whether she had ever been attracted to anyone like this before.

One thing was certain. She had never felt more excited or aroused while stripping in front of anyone in her life. Jane surprised herself with the level of confidence she was maintaining throughout this night.

The moment Maura's finger trailed along the curve of her bare ass she knew there was nothing she wouldn't let this woman do to her.

As if on autopilot she found herself in the guest bedroom, but naked and trembling with arousal.

"On the edge of the bed" Maura instructed. Jane sat down and watched as Maura unzipped her skirt and caught it before it fell to the floor. She draped it over a nearby chair with a seemingly practiced maneuver.

Jane was overcome with the urge to undress Maura herself when Maura made no further efforts to remove any more clothing.

Maura approached her and she felt two strong hands push her back onto the bed. Maura proceeded to straddle her and Jane's hand instinctively came up to her waist. She grabbed hold of Jane's wrists and pushed them above her head.

"Keep them there. Understood?" Jane nodded, her mouth opened slightly.

Maura proceeded to trail open-mouth kisses to her neck. Her eyes shut firmly upon feeling Maura's warm tongue trailing down her neck. "Oh.. gah" Jane moaned.

Maura seemed as focused as ever. When a warm mouth engulfed her peaked nipple Jane's hands shot down toward Maura's head but she quickly remembered her instruction and returned them above her head.

Everywhere her mouth went, ignited Jane's flesh to no end. Maura hadn't even made it to her aching core yet and Jane was writhing beneath her helplessly.

"This is where bondage comes in quite useful" Maura muttered. Jane took a shaky breath and willed her body to stop reacting to Maura's touch so much.

She climbed off of Jane and ushered her to turn on her stomach. "I- uh, what're you?" Jane asked incoherently but turned on her stomach. Maura shushed her.

"Does questioning me make you feel a bit more in control?" Maura purred behind Jane's ear in a low husk. Silence.

With an unexpected amount of strength, Maura moved her legs beneath her. "Fuck" Jane gasped and swung her head behind to look at Maura. Her glistening center was on display with her new position. Her knees were tucked underneath her and she knew she'd be thinking about this moment in particular for weeks to come.

"I expect a response when I ask you a question, detective" her hands trailed over Jane's back as she got into position behind her. Jane shivered and raised off the bed. Maura pushed her back down and moved her raven hair to the side.

She laid over Jane until her lips were brushing against her cheek. "Well?" Jane was distracted. Particularly by the feel of Maura's breast pressed against her back.

"The um… the question. W-what was it again?" Jane asked with her eyes shut. She would never be able to focus if she got a glimpse of Maura's face so close to hers.

"Does questioning me make you feel more in control? Jane?" Maura repeated in a soothing purr. No point in lying Jane thought before nodding. A look of amusement graced Maura's face. Not that Jane could see it before she resumed her position behind Jane.

She dragged her nails over Jane's displayed ass, eliciting a slight gasp from her subject. She proceeded to drag her fingers through her glistening folds then brought them to her mouth to lick them off one by one. A moan escaped Jane's throat when she finally felt Maura touch her where she craved it most.

"So wet, Jane" She grew red hearing Maura taste her digits.

She felt Maura's hair tickle her thighs before a warm tongue entered her. "Aah," Jane gasped with pure ecstasy. Her current position opened her up to Maura quite nicely but Jane wished more than anything that she could see what was being done to her.

She was left focussing on every movement Maura's mouth was executing on her core. Maura's tongue dipped in deep and slowly out again a few times. Jane found herself biting down on her clenched fist to keep from screaming. She was so close already and the doctor had only started her work.

Just as Jane's orgasm was fast approaching all movements halted. Jane groaned with frustration before Maura inserted two fingers into her. Her body lifted once more on its own accord but she quickly resumed her position.

"Good girl" Maura purred. Jane made a face of agony and turned her head into the comforter beneath her. She reached around and found Jane's bundle of nerves with a practiced maneuver.

"Oooh fuck Maur" Jane moaned out feeling Muara's fingers fill her and feeling the extra attention her slick clit was receiving. Jane started breathing heavier with each thrust. She tried with everything in her not to come embarrassingly soon but Maura was mercilessly pounding into her sex.

Just as she felt her orgasm approach, Maura curled her fingers inside her and Jane cried out in ecstasy as a strong orgasm washed over her. Her body shook hard and Maura eased her pace.

"Oh my god, Maura" Jane breathed. She removed her fingers and pushed Jane onto her side.

"Rest up. I told you I'm going to fuck you tonight" Jane's mouth fell open.

"You- you just did," she said breathlessly.

Maura giggled sinisterly. "That… was not fucking. I suggest hydrating before I return. Bottled water's in the fridge" she said before leaving the room.

Her sex was still spasming but Jane's libido spiked when she heard Maura cuss.

She decided water was a must for her suddenly dry mouth. Once she returned to the room she almost choked on her water when she saw the remnants of her arousal blotched on Maura's dark guest room bedding.

She got on the bed and tried to determine how she should be lying when Maura entered the room again. 'Ass in air' seemed a little on the nose and if she's honest with herself, waiting for Maura to instruct her was way more thrilling anyway. She placed her water on the nightstand and when she turned she was met with a darkened hazel-eyed stare.

"Oh my god!" Jane exclaimed when she saw the toy dangling from Mauras's hips.

"Oh, calm down," Maura said simply as she approached the bed. "It's one of the smaller ones in my collection and judging by your diameters it will do nicely" she added with a raised brow.

Jane swallowed thickly before responding "Ok, you may not casually discuss my privates". Her voice was betraying her arousal and Maura simply smirked. She was still wearing her white blouse but was naked from the waist down beneath the strap on.

She crawled onto the bed toward Jane who was sitting in the middle of it. Jane slowly reclined, looking anywhere but Maura's gaze.

"Do you trust me?" Maura asked in a soothing tone as she spread Jane's legs slowly. Jane finally looked into Maura's gaze. Her eyes were warm and bright.

"Yes," she whispered back. Maura hummed and traced her fingers from Jane's collar bone to her breast. Her nipple raised beneath Maura's touch.

She relaxed a bit more under Maura and started to take in her features. Her hair was moving across Jane's chest as Maura kissed her neck. Their bodies were flush against one another and Jane started grinding her hips upward in hopes of feeling the girthy toy.

"When do I get to make you come again?" Jane asked before she could help it.

Maura reached between them and started teasing Jane's entrance and whispered "When I say so…" Jane moaned and moved her hips beneath her.

Maura went to work on her breasts once more while dragging her fingers between Jane's folds. She was reduced to an incoherent mess beneath Maura.

"Please" Jane breathed out. At this pace, she would come again before Maura had even entered her.

She could feel the grin against her swollen breast. "Please what, Jane?"

Jane has never begged in bead before. She never had to. "Do it… please" she uttered before another moan filled the room. Maura was unrelenting with her movements between Jane's legs.

"Do what?... Say it" Maura whispered, her lips barely touching Jane's ear.

Jane huffed. She was so close already. "Fuck me, Maura" she uttered, her hands were squeezing Maura's arms that were either side of her.

Maura grinned and halted her movements on her center. Jane relaxed and exhaled in relief. Her eyes opened to find hazel ones staring back at her. Maura took hold of the toy and slid it up and down Jane's slit.

Coating it in her arousal before she eased it inside of Jane slowly. "Oh fuck" Jane cried out. Once Jane had adjusted to its size, Maura started a slow pace of thrusting into Jane.

Jane found herself spreading her legs as far as they will go, giving Maura as much room as she could.

Jane blinked as she watched Maura's curvy figure moving between her legs. "Oh my gah Maur" she breathed out. Her abdominal muscles were contracting with every thrust and Jane wanted to touch them. She wanted to feel Maura move against her.

Finally, her hands moved to Maura's mid-section. She bit her lip as she felt her abdominal muscle moving beneath her hands. Maura halted and took Jane's wrists in her grip and pushed them above Jane's head.

"Since you can't seem to follow simple instruction I'll just have to keep them there," Jane bit her lip at the feeling of Muaras grip on her wrists. Maura started thrusting deeper. Her hand remained on Jane's hands above her.

In this instance, she didn't feel trapped or afraid. Maura was holding her down yet if anything it was only adding to Jane's arousal.

Jane's mouth fell open without a sound as she felt Maura thrust harder and harder. She was right, Jane thought. Maura's strap-on filled her perfectly. A broken cry of ecstasy filled the room as Maura pounded into her.

The only other sounds besides their breathing and Jane's cries of pleasure were the slick sounds the cock made when Maura pulled back before pounding into her again.

Her legs wrapped around her waist and Maura didn't seem to mind. "Oh. Fuck. Maur" she groaned. She pushed up with her hands as she felt her orgasm approach but Maura held her down.

Jane looked up. Maura was the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen. Stray blond strands stuck to her face with the thin layer of sweat that had covered her entire body. Her eyes appeared dark green in this light and her mouth was open slightly.

Her lips were calling out to Jane to be kissed. Jane licked her lips. "I get to kiss you once right?" she asked between breaths, trying to hold off her approaching orgasm with everything she had.

Maura met her gaze. "Yes," she saw Maura looking at her lips as well. "Do you want to kiss me?... Now?" she said between thrusts.

Jane nodded "Yes" Jane wettened her lips again. "Please. I want my kiss now Maur" she shut her eyes briefly, trying to distract herself not to come yet. "Might as well get it over with right?... It's just one kiss, doctor" she added, seeing the hesitation on Maura's face.

"Fine" Maura breathed finally. She started thrusting into Jane mercilessly and lowered herself until her lips were hovering above Jane's. She lifted her head slightly and captures Maura's lips with her own.

She deepened the kiss and as Maura parted her lips between Jane's, the most powerful orgasm she had ever experienced crashed over her. Her entire body shook and her legs trapped Maura toward her.

Finally, Jane broke the kiss and with her eyes remaining shut she arched into Maura as the last waves of her orgasm washed over her. She felt Maura's eyes on her as she exclaimed her cries of ecstasy.

Maura moved a stray strand of hair from Jane's face before easing out of her and lying down next to the past out figure.

She removed her harness and her hand moved between her legs instantly.

When Jane came to she saw Maura next to her. Legs spread open and her fingers were thrusting into herself vigorously. Jane mumbled a few incoherent protests and Maura turned to look at her.

Jane could see now that her left hand was thrusting into herself while her right hand was circling her clit. When Jane focussed on her face again Maura's mouth fell open and her eyes bore into Jane's.

"Aaah…. Jane" Maura whispered the last bit as her body went stiff. This woke Jane up properly.

Maura stilled and shut her eyes. "I wanted to do that," Jane said, sadness layering her voice.

With her eyes still shut Maura replied. "You were unconscious. Over exhaustion due to intense orgasm." she brought her hand to her mouth and tasted herself before adding. "Besides, I couldn't wait… I usually have more self-control I must say".

Jane turned to face Maura. "Well, I can't help it. You fuck really. Really. Good"

"Well," Maura corrected. Jane wasn't even annoyed with Maura correcting her grammar at this point. She was in a complete state of bliss.

"You…" Maura cut herself off and got up from the bed.

"What? Say it" Jane uttered.

"Nevermind" Maura gathered her clothes from the chair and walked toward the door. "I trust you can let yourself out?"

"Waaait wait-wait. You were going to show me the sorbet le pod-ney…" Jane trailed off. It sounded much better when Maura said it. Besides, she didn't want to leave. Not after the best sex of her life.

"Soba za podnošenje" Maura corrected. She pursed her lips in thought then rolled her eyes. "There's a robe in the closet" when Jane jumped off the bed excitedly Maura's eyes landed on the bedding. "Good grief. I may need to buy new bedding after tonight".

Jane smiled shyly and put on the robe. "So what were you gonna say?-"

"You're not going to let that go are you?"

"Nope," Jane said with a cocky grin.

Maura sighed and threw the clothes she was holding, into Janes' arms so she could start unbuttoning her blouse. "I was going to say… you. Kiss… skillfully" she managed to say finally. Jane watched as her cheeks grew bright red, she said nothing but couldn't contain a dimpled smile. She followed Maura to her bedroom where she put on her robe.

Oh my gosh! This is my most reviewed story (per chapter/ not FITYMI that has gotten 101 reviews to date omg). Thank you so much for the feedback!

That being said I never thought that so many readers would enjoy my stories. Your feedback and enjoyment of my stories are what drive me to keep writing!

Believe it or not, I only meant for this story to be a quick three-chapter one but seeing how many of you are loving this side of Maura and Jane, I will keep writing more;)

ALSO- this platform is so amazing that it enables writers to make your fantasies come to life so please review or pm any and all kinks or things you would want to happen in this world of R&I! If however there is something that you don't like or want to read happening again please pm me so I can take it out:)

Should the next chapter where Maura shows her the 'red room' be from Maura's pov? I had Maura remain mostly clothed because this was all about Jane but I promise she will be wearing spicier things in the coming chapters. Again, thank you so much for all the feedback on this story- you guys are the best!
