A/N: Not mine. Thank you for the reviews.

Jane Rizzoli faltered. She wanted to have sex with a woman, this woman. However, having sex with any woman would mean she was finally admitting to that which she had long denied, she liked woman and men. Not exactly equally, but enough to know she wanted to see Thea naked. And that brought up a whole list of other things: how did you have sex with another woman, would she be any good at it, had she shaved her legs?

She had been quiet while all these thoughts ran through her mind, and Thea had misinterpreted her silence as a no. She rushed to try and reassure Clem.

"We don't have to do anything! I don't expect..." she leaned in close to the taller woman, "sex. I...I'm just..." She opted for being blunt. "It is been a lonely existence these last few months and I would like to spend time with you."

Clem, realizing she too had been lonely the last six weeks, nodded and followed the blonde inside the room. Room was actually an understatement. It was a suite with a sitting area and a small kitchenette. There was also a king sized bed, and a large screen TV.

Thea took a bottle of water out of the fridge and asked Clem if she wanted some water or wine to drink. The dark haired woman took a bottle of water and Thea motioned toward the TV.

"Movie?" Clem nodded and they sat on the sofa, plenty of space between them.

Maura was trying to figure out exactly what she wanted out of this night. If she knew exactly what she wanted. As a doctor, she knew all the technicalities of the human body and what should bring the body, male or female, pleasure. She did not, however, know how to initiate a sexual encounter with a woman. Or even a man. Her lover's had always initiated sex. Ian had been her longest relationship, if you could call it that. He had pushed her boundaries, sometimes pushing a tad too far, but never so far as to be considered criminal. Mistress of seduction she was not.

They settled on some comedy that neither one was watching. Thea, unsure of what to do, began worrying with her hands. Clem watched her for a couple of minutes, working up the courage to say something, anything.

"Thea?"

"Yes?"

"You're beautiful."

Thea blushed and managed to smile at Clem. Shyly she replied, "Thank you." She licked her upper lip. "I need to explain something to you." Clem gestured for her to continue. "At the bar, when you kissed me and I...froze, it had nothing to do with you." She turned to face Clem. "A few months ago I went through a breakup, and...I haven't been out with or kissed anybody since."

Clem nodded. "Was it...serious?"

Thea shrugged. "I...thought it was at one point."

Clem nodded. "I get that. Kinda in the same boat." She elaborated, "I'm single, but it's only been a couple of months." She chanced a glance at Thea and considered her words carefully, weighing what she was about to say.

Thea, who had been thinking while listening to Clem,blurted out, "I would very much like for you to kiss me."

Clem chuckled before turning to face Thea. "I was just thinking how I'd love to kiss you." She moved toward the blonde and as she neared the full lips of Thea, she whispered, "This ok?" Thea gave an almost imperceptible nod as her lips met the taller woman's.

The kiss was slow, tentative at first. Each taking their time, exploring the soft, smooth mouth of the other. Soon, both were jockeying for position over the other, hands in hair, tongues dueling and a growing need for more. Thea pulled back, breathing heavily.

"I'm sorry, I said I didn't expect sex, and I meant it!"

She started to move away, but Clem stopped her with her words, "I'm ok if we have sex." She hurried to add, "If you wanted to."

Jane was embarrassed by the way she sounded. It reminded her of a teenage boy trying to get laid. While she was mentally chastising herself, she missed Thea stand-up. When she finally looked up, the other woman had her blouse out of her skirt, shoes off and was holding her hand out to Clem.

"I very much want to. Care to join me?"

Jane's mind was racing with questions, her body aching with possibilities. And just at the edge of her thoughts was the pesky little voice calling her a dyke and a fraud if she did this. She promptly dispensed with that voice as she took the blonde's hand and followed her to the bed.

Thea stopped and looked up at her. "I would like to turn the lights out if that is ok?"

Clem nodded and reached for the light switch. The only light in the room came from the TV and it was just enough for them to undress by. Thea was quicker than Clem who was too busy watching the shadows play across the shorter woman's pale skin.

"You have far too many clothes on, Clem." She began pulling at the raven haired woman's shirt, excited when she got it over Clem's head, revealing a black bra, She reached out her thumb and looked at the other woman, silently asking if it was ok to touch her. Clem nodded. Thea took the flat pad of her thumb and rubbed the sating clad nipple, causing it to become hard. She wrapped the taller woman n her arms, and took the covered nipple into her mouth. Clem whimpered and grabbed Thea's shoulders.

As Thea pulled back, Clem slipped the straps of the blonde's bra off her shoulders and began fumbling with the clasp on the bra.

Jane idly thought about every teenage boy she'd ever known and silently apologized for laughing at their inability to get her bra undone. She was pulled from her thought by the sure hands of Thea undoing her pants and looking at her for permission to get her out of her pants.

As soon as Thea had gotten her pants down, she stepped out of them and reached for the blonde. She settled for just pulling the bra over the blonde's head, letting her nipples plop out. She noted how firm the were, creamy white and pink tips. Her mouth found one and began to suckle this woman.

Both women began to to remove the others clothing with abandon. Soon they were standing naked before each other, neither daring to look at the others nakedness. Thea reached behind her and turned the bed down. She sat on the edge of the bed and moved to the center, reaching for Clem. Soon they were in the center of the bed kissing, hands roaming, touching, pulling and caressing.

Thea and Clem were pressed together when the blonde's hand grazed Clem's thatch of hair, causing both women to pull back in surprise.

"Oh! I'm sorry!"

Clem smiled at her. "It's ok."

Clem's words emboldened Thea who whispered, "I would like to perform cunnilingus on you. If that's ok?"

Clem couldn't help but laugh at what Thea had just said. "Did you really just ask me if you could go down on me?" She laughed only for a moment as she saw the hurt in Thea's eyes. The smaller woman, embarrassed, was trying to get out of the bed, but Clem stopped her.

"Hey...hey...I'm sorry. I just...I never...nobody has ever asked me that before." She shrugged. "Cared enough to ask. It's just happened."

Now Thea was back in the bed and reaching for Clem. "I believe in informed consent. I would never touch you without asking first." She placed a sweet kiss on Clem's lips.

The care Thea was showing her made her feel loved, special and safe. And she knew that she wanted this, more than anything she'd wanted since she was a kid. Thea knew that she wanted Clem. Wanted to make love to her, explore every inch of her body, bring pleasure to this woman. She pulled back, needing confirmation before she continued.

Clem's lips were swollen, her face flushed as she sought out Thea's eyes. "Please, Thea."

Thea moved down Clem's body, trailing kisses until she was at the center of the raven haired woman's body. She ever so gently moved to spread the taller woman's legs apart. She ran her hands up and down the inner thighs and took a moment to consider what was about to happen, to take in this moment. She moved forward and using her nose to separate the hair, she touched her tongue to Clem's clit. Clem jerked as an expletive rolled off her tongue.

Maura went into doctor mode as she licked and sucked on Clem's clit, her vulva and played with her opening. She was determined to stimulate the clitoris and hopefully get the Skene's Gland to empty onto her awaiting tongue. She was so caught up in running through the anatomy of the vagina, she didn't realize Clem had stopped responding and was calling her name.

What had started out as glorious, had quickly become very...mechanical. Jane had thought she was going to have an explosive orgasm, but now she was considering faking it. She decided this sweet, gorgeous woman who said cunnilingus instead of going down on her, didn't deserve that. She began calling her name, and trying to move away.

Realizing that her name, Thea, was being called, she came back to the task at hand. She stopped and moved up Clem's body. Touching her almost lover's face, she whispered, "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?" Clem shook her head, not willing to tell Thea she wasn't particularly good at this.

Thea kissed Clem and then touched her face. "I'm sorry. I...I...am a scientist, and sometimes I get caught up in the technical aspects of things. May I try again?"

Jane wasn't sure that was going to work, but there was just something about this woman she found adorable. She gave a half nod of her head and this time, Thea threw her anatomy book out the window. She concentrated on listening to Clem, to taking note of what brought the loudest moans, understanding what brought a change in flavor, and which things brought her hips off the bed. She hesitated before slipping two fingers inside the woman beneath her, but when she finally did, Clem's body jerked, shook and gushed fluid. Thea drank in all she could, and began to clean a still quivering Clem.

She moved up the bed and cradled Clem in her arms, holding the woman. She felt a connection to her she had never felt with anyone, and all she wanted to do was hold her and make her make those sounds again.

"Shhh. I have you." She kissed Clem's forehead and whispered, "Rest."

Clem raised her head already half-asleep and murmured, "I want to do that Richie Cunningham thing to you too, but need sleep first."

Maura pulled the cover up over them and held a sleeping Clem in her arms. Soon, she drifted off to sleep, a smile on her face.
