Maura was sitting at her desk, watching with amusement, as Jane paced back and forth ranting about her mother. Jane's rant was interrupted by Senior Criminalist Chang bringing Maura a lab result for a current case. Susie handed the result to Maura and waited to see if she needed to do anything else. She also shot Jane a curious glance.

"That will be all Senior Criminalist Chang. Thank you."

Maura waited for her to leave then turned back to Jane. "You were saying?"

Defeated, Jane slumped into Maura's office couch and crossed her arms. "My mother is going to be the death of me."

"She just loves you, Jane." Maura glanced down trying to decide how to ask her next question. "Do you think that would change if she knew...about me?" Maura looked up at Jane, who had moved from the couch to the front of Maura's desk.

Jane glanced behind her to see if anybody was around. "I think it will take her a bit to get used to this, but ultimately she will be fine." Jane stood up straight and made a small kissing sound at Maura, earning her a smile. "See you tonight?"

They were laying together on Maura's couch, having had dinner and watching TV. Jane wrapped her arm tightly against Maura. "I'm excited about Providence. Spending uninterrupted time with you."

Maura looked up and whispered, "Me, too."

This spurred them to discuss what all they wanted to do while away for the weekend. Maura of course, started making a list of things for them to see and do. Jane was more interested in just finding stuff that sounded interesting, and doing it, no schedule involved. Maura was determined to make a schedule. They ended up bickering until Jane started tickling Maura, which lead to a tickle fight and Maura pinned beneath Jane.

Jane stopped tickling her as she looked down and saw Maura beneath her, smiling and her hair splayed out. She bent and kissed her and then pulled back. "I love you Maura."

Maura flipped them over so that she was on top of Jane. Jane, surprised by the suddenness and strength of Maura's flip, laughed. Maura, in an attempt to shut Jane up, bent and gave her a deep kiss. Jane forgot about everything but Maura's mouth, tongue and the hand the blonde had just slid down into her pants.

"Let me make love to you, Jane." All Jane could manage was a nod. She had thought they would go upstairs to the bed, but Maura had stripped her and done her right there on the couch. Jane collapsed against the couch pillows and chuckled at the satisfied smirk on Maura's face. The blond pulled Jane's head to her own and kissed the detective. Jane tasted herself on Maura's lips and deepened the kiss.

"I love you too, Jane." She pulled the blanket over them, and they drifted off to sleep.

Friday

Jane had slept alone at her apartment the night before and had awoken to a very steamy dream starring Maura. As soon as she had gotten free that morning, she made a beeline for Maura's office. She stood in the doorway watching her love reading through a medical journal.

Leaning against the door frame, she cleared her throat, getting Maura's attention.

"Jane?" Maura was looking at her girlfriend with a mix of intrigue and...arousal. Jane stepped inside the doorway and never breaking eye contact with Maura, she shut and locked the door behind her. She shut the blinds and motioned for Maura to come from behind the desk. She met her at the corner of the desk and took her in her arms. As she kissed her, she backed the blonde up against the corner and whispered, "Sit down and spread them."

Maura's breath caught and she was grateful she had worn a skirt to work. She did as Jane said, and gasped as Jane sank to her knees, and kissed her way up the inside of Maura's thigh. She carefully eased the skirt up and pulled Maura's thong down and off one leg. Sticking her head up in under Maura's skirt, she sought out her center with her tongue, causing Maura to grip the edge of the desk and toss her head back.

"Oh fuuuuuuck." She squirmed more as Jane increased the speed and pressure of each tongue thrust. Her hips came up off the desk as she came, and Jane pulled her head out and slid her fingers into Maura, capturing her moans with her mouth. She whispered, "Come on baby, one more time...you can do it."

Feeling her lover's hot breath against her ear and her command sent Maura over the edge again. Jane held her as she collapsed. After a few moments, she took Maura's face in her hands, kissed her and Walked toward the door.

"See you at 5?" Maura nodded.

Maura stood up and realized she would need to change into her spare outfit she kept in the office, as her skirt had a large wet spot on back .

Maura's car, I-95

"You can actually drive faster than the speed limit, Maura."

Maura, hands at the 10-2 position, did a quick glance at Jane and sighed. "I am doing four miles per hour over the speed limit."

"Speed demon." Jane spent the rest of the trip being quiet and just watching her girlfriend. She noted the look of concentration and determination on the doctor's face. It was very similar to the look Maura got right before they made love.

Once they checked into the hotel, they made their way through Downcity, the downtown section of Providence. After having a quick bite, Jane was excited to take in the Pomham Rocks Lighthouse, lit up at night. As they gathered together with the others wanting to catch a glimpse of the lighthouse at night, Jane again watched Maura, who was busy reading the pamphlet about the lighthouse.

As Jane watched her, it suddenly became obvious to her, that which had been skirting along the edge of her mind for the last couple of weeks.

"Maura?"

"Hmm?" Maura was still engrossed in reading the pamphlet.

Jane tried again. "Dr. Maura Isles?"

The use of her full name and title got Maura's undivided attention. She looked up at Jane, afraid of what might be happening around them.

Looking around, Maura furrowed her brow and asked, "What is it, Jane?"

Jane tilted Maura's chin up and said what nobody had ever said to her before. "I am in love with you."

Maura smiled and put her arms around Jane's neck. "I'm in love with you too." She pulled Jane's head down, intending to give her an Eskimo kiss as they were in public, but Jane had other ideas. The detective captured her lips in a soul searing kiss that was neither brief nor lacking in passion.

As they broke apart, both women were smiling. Maura whispered, "Room?" Jane nodded and instead of walking back, they took a cab.

As they undressed, Jane asked, "Did you bring it?"

Maura stopped kissing Jane and went to a black bag, unzipping it and pulling out the strap-on and lube, she held them up for Jane to see.

"Are you sure?"

Jane nodded and smiled. "Yes, please." She climbed up on the bed, fluffed the pillows and lay back, legs spread wide. She watched as Maura tried to figure out the best way to use the strap-on. "I think that end goes inside you, Maura and then that part..."

Maura cut her off. "I know how it is supposed to go, Jane. I just can't seem to get it there and make it stay." Maura shifted as she was trying to get it into place and gasped as it fit snugly against her g-spot. "Oh fuck!"

The use of that word told Jane Maura either felt really good or bad. "Maura?"

"Fuck, that feels good." She grabbed the bottle of lube and joined Jane on the bed, where she placed a pillow under Jane's butt to allow for deeper penetration. "Ready?" At Jane's nod, she applied ample lube and began pushing into the detective, stopping as Jane grunted and threw her head back. "Jane?"

"Don't stop. Don't you dare stop." Jane wrapped her legs around the blonde and thrust her hips.

Jane's plea spurred Maura into action and she slowly began to thrust, picking up speed as Jane's moans became louder. She looked down at Jane, hair damp with sweat, eyes closed and her face twitching. She bent her head and captured Jane's lips in a searing kiss. As Jane's orgasm hit her, she bit into Maura's shoulder. Her orgasm triggered Maura's and the blonde buried her face in Jane's neck. She collapsed on top of Jane.

"God..."

"Fuck..."

Maura finally lifted her head and looked at Jane, who was smiling at her.

"What, Jane?"

"So this is what it's like to truly make love? You know, to be in love when doing this?"

Maura smiled back at her. "Yes, I suppose it is."

Jane began to laugh. "Sister Sandy was right, it is different when you are in love."

Maura began to laugh as well. "How would a nun know?"

Jane shook her head, "No clue, but damn, was she right."

After they got cleaned up, they settled into bed and began watching TV, sneaking glances at each other until they both drifted off. Both women slept entwined in each others arms until Maura's alarm woke them the next morning. The plan was for Maura to give her lecture and then she would return to the hotel to reunite with Jane. As Maura came out of the bathroom, ready to leave, she smiled at the sight of Jane. The detective was sprawled in the bed, hair messed up and naked.

"I love you, Maura."

Maura turned and smiled at her girlfriend. "I love you too."

Maura's lecture had been successful and she was upbeat as she returned to the hotel. She found the room empty, but there was a note from Jane.

M-

Be back by 1pm.

Order lunch for us.

Love,

Jane

She changed into her comfortable clothes and placed a room service order. Checking her watch, she saw it was close to 1 and Jane should be back soon. As she busied herself by putting away her lecture materials, she heard the door open.

"Jane?"

The detective entered the room and took Maura in her arms, kissing her. Jane, obviously proud of herself, pulled two tickets out of her back pocket.

"Look what I got."

Maura squealed when she saw two tickets for a ride on a WaterFire boat. "How did you get these? They are sold out weeks in advance!"

Jane shrugged. "I have my ways."

Maura kissed her and whispered, "You are getting so lucky tonight."

"Tonight? Not now?"

Just as Maura was about to answer, their food arrived. "Food, detective. Food."

After lunch, they went out and about, holding hands and shopping. More specifically, Maura was shopping and Jane was holding her purse. After two solid hours of following her girlfriend around, Jane was finally beginning to get tired of looking at fancy clothes. She found a sporting goods store and drug Maura in. She was looking at bats and trying on new gloves as now it was Maura's turn to wait patiently.

As she sat in the shoe department, she saw a pair of barefoot running shoes she had been looking for. As she waited to get a pair to try on, a good looking man who had been circling her, approached her. Jane had been watching him and as he made small talk with Maura, Jane Rizzoli felt a new feeling: jealousy.

She took a seat next to Maura and placed her hand possessively on the blonde's thigh. She leaned in and kissed her, pointedly looking at the man.

"Hey baby, did you find what you were looking for?"

Maura, oblivious to what was happening, turned to introduce Jane to the man, but realized he was gone. "Jane, did you see the man who was just here?"

"Yeah, he left. You ready to checkout?"

Jane glanced at her watch, realizing she had 15 minutes to pick up the item she'd purchased earlier.

"Hey Maura, did you want to check out that boutique dress shop?"

Maura hesitated, knowing Jane was over clothes shopping. "Well...I know you are over dress shopping, so..."

Jane kissed her and replied, "I am, so why don't I take this stuff back to the room and then meet you at the WaterFire boats?"

"If you're sure?" Jane nodded and hurried off toward the hotel. Maura made her way to the dress shop and began looking at dresses.

Jane sprinted back to the hotel, dropped their stuff and hurried back to the jewelry store she had visited earlier. The clerk saw her coming and went to get her purchase. Jane smiled as he handed her the box and she took the item out to inspect it. She smiled at the finished product, thanked him and put the box in her right pocket. Realizing Maura would ask what the bulge was, she swore and ran back to the hotel, where she hid the item in the bottom of her overnight bag.

She finally made it back to Maura and they went to catch the WaterFire boat.

Maura was sitting close to Jane and it has just gotten dark. The boat shoved off and both women were in awe of the spectacle.

Maura leaned in close to Jane and whispered, "This is beautiful."

Jane looked at her and said, "Yes, you are." They kissed and as they broke apart, Jane whispered, "I think it's time to start telling people."

Maura smiled at her and nodded. "If you are sure?" Jane nodded. "Ok."

XXXXXXXXXX

As soon as they got off the boat, they hurried back to the hotel room a nd fell into bed. Jane was on top of Maura, and began to nuzzle the blonde's breasts.

"I love you breasts."

Maura chuckled. "I sort of figured that out, you tend to spend allot of time on them."

Jane took the nipple into her mouth and sucked until the nipple was hard. Maura moaned and held Jane's head to her breast. "Please don't ever stop doing this."

"I won't." She smiled. "Ma didn't breastfeed me." Maura giggled until Jane whispered, "I want to fuck you with it. Is that ok?"

Maura nodded. "I cleaned everything this morning."

Jane smiled as she shook her head. "Of course you did."

XXXXXXXXXX

After a few false starts, Jane finally got the strap-on situated and had Maura twitching and moaning quickly. It happened so quickly, Jane hadn't finished.

"Jane...sit on my face. Let me get you off."

Jane dispensed with the strap-on and made her way to Maura's face.

"I've never done this."

"Me neither, but God I want to." Maura took her by the waist and guided her over her mouth. "Ready?" Jane nodded and Maura flicked her tongue out, tasting Jane like this for the first time. The more she did it, the more she wanted to do it. It wasn't long before Jane was gripping the headboard and calling out Maura's name. She gushed wetness all over Maura's face, and fell to the side as she began to recover.

Spent, both women drifted off to sleep and didn't wake until sunrise.

"Maura, let's get started. I want to discuss how we...I...we, should go about telling my family, ok?"

Maura touched Jane's face. "We Jane. We will tell your family, unless you don't think that'll work. Your call, but I am with you, no matter what."

Jane kissed her and thought about taking her right there, but Maura shook her head no.

"I don't want a quickie. Let's get home and have family dinner, then we can go back to my place and..."

"Ok. We can discuss strategy on the drive back."
