A/N I know it's short and lots of you lovely lot don't really like the short chapters but I assure you the next few and final chapters will be much, much longer. I just needed to get this little section out of my head. Hope you enjoy it anyway.

Chapter 14

Jane was initially nervous, being so physically exposed to Maura. Whilst they'd slept in the same bed on more occasions than she could count, enjoyed spa trips together and even experienced tandem massages, neither had encouraged this level of contact.

Once she felt those soft, warm, supple hands on her skin all of her body just gave in. It relented against her better judgement. She felt the tension of the night, of the week just melt away under the most tender of touches. Of course Maura knew where to move and how to knead the tissue just where she needed her to, her knowledge of anatomy had made her a master.

As her inhibitions waned Jane allowed her lids to flutter closed and couldn't help after the atmosphere of the evening to wonder what it would be like to feel those tender fingers running through her hair, or to have them linger over the tender skin at her waist as she lay against her on the sofa. Without pushing her mind lapped at images of domesticity and more.

She imagined leaning against her whilst half listening to a speech at someone's party, feeling Maura's hands slowly sneak around her waist, a secret smile crosses her lips, then they're at home shoes quickly discarded before Jane has Maura's hands pinned above her head, her back firmly against the wall and Jane's lips against the milky skin of her throat.

She felt the knot in her neck release and heard the moan escape her lips.
