Later, Jane sat on the steps of the deck glancing into the stars. She was thankful that they had managed the incident with detective Reid without any fight. Even after being together for almost six years they had things to learn. And with each challenge they grew, personally but also as a couple.
Jane couldn't help but be proud of themselves. When she walked into the house, she found Maura on the couch, reading some medical journey.
"Hey!" she softly said, flashing her dimples to the blonde.
"Hi." Maura moved that Jane could sit down and watch TV. The ME placed her legs onto Janes lap and continued reading. When Jane glanced at the cover, she silently cringed. There was some line about getting pregnant above 40.
Maura had told Jane that she wanted to have another child together a few weeks ago. The brunette's reaction had been not so positive. The reason was that she didn't want to start the diaper changing and getting up in the night all over again. Then she had calculated that they would be 65 by the time the kid turned 18. To her, family life was fine. They were settled and everything was smooth.
Maura had silently listened to her reasons and agreed partly. But Jane knew that the wish was still there although she had accepted Janes point of view. Jane felt just grateful for Mauras respect and her reaction had only deepened her love for the ME.
A deep sigh from her made Maura put down her journal and their eyes locked.
"I've been thinking…" the brunette started, massaging the blonde's feet. "Its been a while since we went on a date. With work and the kids and…." Another small sigh: "I thought it would be nice to go out again. Have fun, spent some time by ourselves. What do you say?"
It was the truth. While they had taken care to go out regularly at the beginning of their relationship, they now didn't go out anymore at all. And as it usually goes: one week you don't go out because one of the kids is sick, the next week you are tired from work and slowly you forget how good it is to have this quality time for your relationship. Jane missed it terribly. She pulled out an envelope from her pocket and handed it to Maura who glanced first at the envelope and then at Jane with a risen eyebrow.
As the blonde took it, their fingers softly touched, and Jane smiled. She watched as Maura carefully opened the envelope and peeked inside. A wide grin spread on the blonde's face when taking out a voucher for a day at their favorite spa.
"It includes massages and other special treatments." Jane stated, feeling Maura moving into her arms. "Thank you! It's a great present. I love it." The brunette chuckles softly, relieved that her idea was taken so well.
"I don't have to go with you, do i?" Maura asked and Janes heart dropped for a moment until she realized that it had been a joke. She exhaled loudly as Maura laughed.
"We could go this weekend." She said. "I've already got rid of my on-call duty, you have the weekend off anyways and Frankie and Nina would be willing to look after Sophie and Julia."
Maura seemed mighty happy about the idea and started talking about the treatments they needed to take. She rambled about what she wanted to do, and Jane stopped her, laughing. "Wait, Maur. We don't want this to be stressful. We can do this more often. And maybe the girls could stay with Frankie and Nina overnight." The brunette took a mental note to check for it later.
R&I
After a few more days it was time for their weekend. Jane awoke early that Saturday, excited and joyful. They snuggled a bit, before the kids told them that it was time to get up by capturing their bed. The perspective of spending a whole weekend with their uncle and their aunt had left them almost sleepless the past nights. But seeing them jumping around the house reminded Jane that it didn't affect a ten-year-old as much as it did a 40-year-old.
"I'm going to check their duffle bags." Maura chuckled while Jane busied herself cleaning up after breakfast. It had turned out that Julia and Sophie had already packed their bags on Thursday, after finding out about the weekend plans.
Maura informed Jane that they had only packed stuffed animals and pillows instead of clothes and underwear after dropping them off at Frankie's. Jane had a good laugh, to be honest she had expected such thing as the priorities to the children were clearly different than to the adults.
R&I
After a relaxing day, they went to have dinner at their favorite French restaurant. Jane had to chuckle every time when she made Maura say the name le beau truc. She simply loved hearing her wife speak French because it always sounded sexy.
Glances were exchanged openly but also secretively over the menus and the waiter had to return at least three times until they were ready to order. They talked about various topics, but never about the work.
"You know, you look really gorgeous." Maura stated after some comforting silence had been lingering between them while they ate. The blonde sipped at her wine, grinning sheepishly when Jane blushed.
"Thank you. You look beautiful too." The brunette replied with a soft smile reaching for the blonde's hand. "And thank you for this day."
"Uhm. I didn't know how much I missed this until you reminded me Jane." Maura replied with beaming eyes. "You are always so kind and attentive. I'm so glad to call you my wife. There is no one else I ever could imagine spending my life with but you."
"Well I hope so." Jane snorted jokingly, becoming serious when their hands touched as they smiled at each other. "We're a good team." Jane stated. "Like you once said: we're a match."
"We've always been…" Maura smiled.
R&I
Upon coming home, Jane pushed Maura who had just closed the door behind them towards the door. This day had been a lot of things: fun, romantic, talkative but most of all arousing to Jane.
"Uh oh." Maura softly chuckled against the claiming lips of the brunette. "That's new."
"You like it?" Jane grinned, seeing the slight blush on a surprised face.
"Depends on where this lead." The blonde said cheekily, suppressing a deep moan as Janes lips worked on her sensitive spot close to her ears. The brunette lifted her wife up into the air, so that she could wrap her legs around the slim waist.
"Is this the right way?" she panted as she tried to fumble the buttons of Maura's blouse open.
Maura who had wrapped her arms around the brunette's neck nodded before two pairs of dark eyes locked on each other to check if everything was okay. When seeing that it was, Jane took Maura away from the entrance hall and carried her onto the kitchen counter, the blonde's legs still wrapped around her waist.
Once Maura sat, seemingly pleased by the change of location she loosened the legs and straddled them so that Jane could step in between them. Her hands were already working on taking off the oxford-shirt Jane was wearing exposing the tank top which was like a glove over Jane curves. Her fingers traced the olive skin down from the chin to the rim of the fabric.
Jane watched her sweet expression as Maura took in every detail of her body. A soft whimper escaped her mouth when a thumb softly stroked over the already erected nipples. It didn't take long until her tank top landed on the floor and the blonde unclasped the hooks of her bra with one hand while the other was holding her by the side.
She let the darkened hazel eyes wander over her upper body, hands touching her abdominal muscles which were always a big turn on for her wife. "You are just so beautiful." Maura whispered taking her time to touch the soft olive skin.
"You are the most gorgeous woman I ever laid eyes on." Maura continued with a soft smile.
"Uh, that's a bit cheesy now." Jane blushed with a grin.
"Its only the truth. You know I can't lie." The blonde mumbled, making Jane hitch a breath by squeezing her nipples with her thumb and index finger. Jane felt the aching between her legs rise with every touch and moaned deeply, searching Maura's mouth for a passionate kiss.
Her hands reached out to free the blonde's upper body from her blouse and bra. The skirt was already pushed up so when she took a step back, she could let her hands wander over the inner thighs while her mouth first circled Maura's nipples before taking them into her mouth. "Oh my god." Maura exclaimed, her voice husky and thick with lust while pushing her hips towards Janes hands.
"Somebody is already very hot." Jane grinned when one of her fingers stroked over the soaked underwear, mesmerized by the fact that she was the reason for this. A whimper told Jane that Maura was ready for her.
She gently pushed the black silk slip aside to touch the wet folds underneath it. Taking her time, she started circling the clit, moving her fingers to taste Maura. "Jane, you know that you're killing me, right?" the blonde managed to say.
"Should I stop?" she teased an pulled away her tongue which she knew would drive Maura crazy. Satisfied with the effect she took the soft tissue back into her mouth eliciting another sound of her wife. It was a mixture between pleasure and sweet pain.
She was surprised when Maura came almost immediately when she did one deep push into her. She took her wife into a tight embrace, helping her relax by gently stroking over her back. When her breath had steadied and calmed down, Maura slid from the counter and opened Janes belt before helping her out of her trousers. Then she knelt down in front of her wife and straddled her long legs to gain access to her clit. Her tongue tasted Jane and made the brunette hold on to the counter so strongly that her knuckles became white. All the sucking, licking and touching made her knees almost buckle and her head whirl.
Jane tried to hold back the orgasm, but she failed quickly and when she let go stars started to dance in front her eyes and her head felt light.
When Maura stood up again, they fell into another embrace and kissed. Two shivering bodies melted into one while they tried to hold on to each other. They were so close that their hips and breasts were touching and when they looked down, they couldn't tell which body part belonged to whom.
Jane chuckled, showing her dimples and her eyes were sparkling. "Wow!" she said, seeing her word reflected on the sweaty face of her lover. Sex between them was always great. But usually restricted to the bedroom and the late hours of the night, when Julia and Sophie were asleep. They had only been caught once by them in the last five years, which had been quite awkward, and Jane still blushed when recalling the incident.
Maura took it easier. "Its natural." She had said and dismissed any uncomfortable feeling with a wave. It had turned out later that her assumption that the kids hadn't known what was going on was right later.
Tonight's love making felt different to Jane, although she couldn't put a name or a reason to why. Maybe it was the kitchen counter, which she eyed suspiciously to Maura's laughter. "Maybe it's just different because we change. Our cells renew themselves regularly. So does our mind." She offered an explanation as if reading Janes mind like an open book.
Jane didn't know, but she knew that she liked the soft caresses which were exchanged and the soft warm skins and the feeling when Maura took a deep breath and pushed her belly into hers. If she shivered it wasn't because it was cold. It was because she enjoyed this moment so much. And Maura's body was telling the same story.
"I would love if we did this more often." She whispered, lifting Maura's chin with a finger to leave a soft kiss on the blondes' lips.
"Uhm, I think I could live with this." Maura replied cheekily, kissing her back. Jane laughed as they walked towards the stairs to get a good shower.
