Glad people are enjoying the story, there is still slots left if anyone would like to join in the fun and add a chapter.

December 2nd

Maura awoke that morning to mussed sheets and a decidedly empty bed. As she rolled over to climb out from beneath the sheets she saw her travel mug and a note on the bedside table.

"Caught a lead in the case and headed in early. I wrestled with the coffee machine but managed a passable batch, it should still be hot when you wake up. Can't wait to see what's in today's box. Love you - Jane x"

She couldn't help the groggy grin that spread on her face, almost a perfect replica of the one her lover was sporting that morning.

The detective had returned home later that evening in a lack lustre fashion, the lead had turned out to be a rather frustrating dead end. However stepping through the house into the kitchen the sight on the table made her smile. A solitary beer bottle on ice with a card propped against it.

"Hope this helps you feel better. I'm upstairs when you're ready to open today's box - Maura x"

After quickly hanging up her winter coat and shucking off heavy boots she grabbed the bottle and twisted off the cap. A long, satisfying draw on the bottle helped her relax. Letting out a deep breath and dropping the stresses of the day she smiled to herself as she climbed the stairs.

Propped up in bed reading a journal Maura could make out the soft padding of feet climbing the stairs. Putting the book to one side she waited with an eager smile. In seconds her work weary detective walked into the room and made her way to the doctor's side of the bed. As she sat Maura climbed onto her knees next to her with outstretched arms. Leaning into the welcome embrace Jane turned her face so she could properly greet the blonde.

"That bad?"

Jane simply groaned in response.

"Poor Jane, maybe this will cheer you up."

Reaching to the bedside table the blonde brought back a small box, looking up at her detective with a coy smile she opened it. The small smile widened.

"Why don't you get ready for bed,"

"What's in the box Maur?" Jane had matched her grin and was reaching for the small package, the doctor playfully dodged the grab and pushed her back in one move.

"Go hang up your suit, you won't want to get it to get dirty,"

Maura made an attempt at a wink, causing Jane's eyebrows to shoot up. Her brain finally caught up and she cleared the space to the enquire in two steps. The doctor couldn't help but laugh, but the chuckle got caught in her throat as Jane marched back into the bedroom in her underwear, serious expression on her face.

"I'm not going to ask again Doc, what's in the box?"

The blonde swallowed and matched the look. "Come lay down Detective, and you'll find out."

Keeping her face straight Jane sat next to the blonde. Reaching over Maura ran her finger under the strap of the brunette's bra.

"You won't need this,"

Drifting her hand down, ghosting over skin that rapidly replaced the touch with goosebumps. Reaching the elastic at Jane's hip,

"Or these,"

Jane was losing the will to keep her face expressionless As she reached around her back to remove the first garment. Slowly she dropped the bra to the floor, keeping her eyes locked to the blonde's she stood and dragged her panties down impossibly long legs at a pace far too slow for her partner's liking. Sitting back down she crossed one leg over the other. Maura licked her lips at the sight.

"Now, lie back against the pillows,"

"Yes Doctor," her eyes shined with mirth betraying the seriousness of her voice. Before she had a chance to break character the blonde had straddled her naked hips earning a grateful hiss at the contact.

"Now would you like to know what I have here?" A swift nod was her answer.

Reaching back to her previous spot she picked up a small jar and twisted off the cap. Sticking her finger into the mystery mixture she coated the tip before offering it to the woman below her.

"Trust me, I'm confident you'll like it,"

Looking up at Maura she smiled before she opened her mouth and wrapped her lips around the digit, her tongue wrapping around as she sucked softly. She moaned at the sweet taste watching the blonde bite her own lip as she released the finger.

"Tastes like chocolate," there was a wicked smile on her face as she began to put the pieces together.

"Does it? I had better try some then,"

Gathering more of the substance on her fingers she liberally coated one of Jane's rapidly stiffening nipples. The moan of the touch was caught in her throat as Maura leaned forward so that she too could get a taste. Her sweeping tongue replaced by hungry lips as she pulled the nub into her mouth. She smiled against the pliant flesh as she felt Jane buck underneath her. Sitting back she grinned widely,

"My that is delicious, would you like some more?"

Jane could only nod as she watched Maura repeat the action on her own chest, sitting up with the doctor on her lap she took the opportunity to rid her of her remaining clothing. The brunette watched as fingers reached to cover an ample breast with the sticky, sweet chocolate. Wrapping long fingers around the doctors hips, Jane lowered her gaze licking her lips. Slowly she lapped at the skin there, dancing around where she knew Maura wanted her the most.

Arching her back, the doctor tried to guide her. Jane simply smiled, but couldn't deny her, the grateful moan she received as she captured the straining bud lightly between her teeth sent a flood of wetness to her core. Letting go with an audible pop she grinned up at the woman atop her.

Maura raised an eyebrow at the incorrigible smile, putting the small jar to the side. Two hands firmly pushed down on Jane's shoulders lowering them both to the bed. Leaning over the detective she sucked her bottom lip between her own as skilled hands drifted from shoulders to cup and tease her lover's breasts. Rolling both nipples between her fingers caused a gasp to be lost between their kisses.

Resting back on her knees the doctor ground down onto the brunette causing a deep moan as fingers gripped her hips harder.

"Now, I don't think I need that little jar to know just how sweet you taste Jane."

The pinned detective could do nothing but throw her head back as soft kisses became nips and sucks trailing from her neck undoubtably lower. Maura shifted down the bed as she came to trace the contours of what she had defined as "spectacular musculature" along Jane's abdomen. The muscles tensed under her touch. Unabashed the brunette had spread her legs around her doctor, her core glistening in the low light.

"Oh Jane, you're so wet,"

Gently she gathered some of the wetness on her finger before softly circling the small bundle of nerves. Hips writhed at the touch, trying to gain more.

"Don't tease Maur, it's mean,"

"What have I told you about pouting to get your way detective?"

A quiet whimper was her answer.

Perfectly manicured nails raked along the skin of her inner thighs, Jane lifted her hips to guide them where she needed Maura's touch. But she was denied, instead hands moved to cover her hips, holding her in place. The blonde had anticipated the sharp buck when she dragged her tongue lazily through the ever growing wetness.

"Oh fuck Maura!"

Humming lightly sent small vibrations through the brunette, she was panting her breaths as a delightfully familiar could tightened in her belly. She couldn't help trying to grind her hips, desperate for more. To her surprise, she found it. Maura wrapped her lips around her swollen clit, sucking on the nub. Moans turned to cries as two fingers slipped easily through the wetness inside her.

Slowly, curling her fingers with each stroke Maura could feel the impending orgasm, muscles clenching lightly and Jane thrusting her hips to meet her. Ever impatient.

"Please Maur,"

Continuing her ministrations the blonde looked up to dark eyes,

"Please what?"

"Mmmfff"

" ? Jane,"

Bowing her head she darted her tongue lapping once more at her clit, the trembling grew.

"Oh God Maur, fuck me please!"

"Was it that hard?"

Forcing her fingers harder and reaching up she brushed against Jane's walls as she continued to drink from her. Sucking her clit once more into her mouth she lathed it with her tongue. Fighting a losing battle to control wildly bucking hips. With only a few more strokes her orgasm crashed into her with pants of "yes" being the only thing her brain could muster.

When the body below her had calmed Maura gently kissed her way back up to meet a blissfully happy smile.

"I don't think we used a lot of whatever that chocolatey stuff was,"

"While it is very tasty, you know I can't abide sticky things. Perhaps I ought to go shower, that is if you care to join me."

"You go on ahead, I'll catch up"

With a smirk and a kiss Maura sauntered off to the bathroom. Jane tried to move her jellied legs and laughed,

"I'm going to need a minute!"
