Firstly, thanks so much for all the great reviews, follows etc etc- I'm so pleased you're enjoying it! Secondly, apologies for the delay- I've had no wireless for 2 weeks...grrr...anyway...I'd love you to review this chapter or the whole story.

So, here's our third instalment, I should warn you, it's still VERY MUCH M RATED, with the use of sexual shenanigans and language throughout.

NB- Don't own the characters from the franchise, all credit to TNT and J Tam. Words are all mine though, so hands off!

Let's see what Saturday brings our lovely ladies shall we?...

Friday night, just before dawn...

As Jane lay in bed with her back to Maura- hoping that her new fiancée believed she was still napping- she mulled over the events of the evening so far. It had all started really well- Maura had been stunning, the meal had been fabulous, the bi-plane trailing it's pink smoky legend 'Jane loves Maura' had probably stopped traffic across half of Boston, and, to cap it all, Maura had consented to be Jane's wife. So far so good.

And as if that wasn't enough, she and Maura had finally consummated their relationship with the most amazing lovemaking either of them had ever known- an incredible 'out of body' experience which left Maura wondering which way was up and Jane grateful they'd both trimmed their fingernails.

On a scale of one to ten, it had been at least a fifteen- right up until Maura decided she needed a shower. After that, events had taken a sideways turn to the left - Jane's severe panic attack had frightened them both, and Jane was very much aware that it was the first time Maura had witnessed an episode as crippling as that. She only wished she could guarantee it would be the last. 'Unlikely', she thought to herself- it had been months since the last attack, and that one had taken hold when she'd woken from a nightmare, so, the dreams were still there, lurking in the shadows of Jane's subconscious.

Her attacks were as random as snow in July, and Jane was wrestling with the dichotomy of wishing Maura hadn't seen it at all, and being grateful that she was there when it took hold- she was musing on this when Maura gently and silently rolled in to Jane, bringing her arm across her waist to cuddle her- for such a simple action, it was loaded with comfort.

In a previous life Jane would have felt embarrassed- mortified even- to have had to show that side of herself to anyone, and she would more than likely have shut herself off from everyone around her and wrestled her way through it- the hurt animal finding a safe place to lick it's wounds.

Jane thought to herself that after all they had been through, lesser mortals might have run for the hills in the face of so much adversity- but Maura had stayed with her throughout, and after this latest instalment of a continuing drama, was still here - and if that wasn't love, then she didn't know what was. She pulled Maura in closer, happy to feel the warmth and love seeping through her, and tellingly, something else- safety- Jane felt safe from the nightmares when she was with Maura, and that was an immense private admission from the 'badass' detective. She rolled over to face Maura.

"You're amazing, do you know that?"

"I do...and it's a cross I have to bare." she sighed with more than a hint of sarcasm. Jane had taught her well.

"And yet, still so humble Doctor! "

" One does one's best Detective...now go to sleep, we need to get our strength back for later...I doubt we'll be able to move otherwise..."

"Well...stop being so damned sexy then..." and she moved closer to Maura, brushing her cheek softly with her hand. Her voice softened to a husky whisper as she continued. " Thanks again...for earlier...I'm sorry you had to see it...but I'm glad you were here.. I'm always glad you're here..." She kissed her tenderly, and Maura could feel it was a kiss laced with gratitude and thanks.

" You once told Sergeant Korsak that you wouldn't leave me, after our car accident?.. well you're stuck with me...'til we're ninety and beyond, remember?"

Jane smiled at the memory of those words – spoken after the first time they'd kissed. It was after visiting Frankie at the hospital, and he'd been rendered unconscious by the giant donut. It all seemed so long ago now, but actually it had only been a month.

"Now please Jane...can we go to sleep? I'm absolutely pooped!" she sighed.

" Okay...nite...sweet dreams."

" Always."

Saturday...much, much later...

At around 11.30 on Saturday morning the two women finally woke up, having slept for a full six hours- more than they'd had in days, and certainly enough to be rested, energised and alert. Well, rested at least, alert was optimistic at best. Jane was the first to attempt communication.

"Hey you."

"Hey you too"

"I'm hungry"

"I need to pee"

"That means moving doesn't it?"

"I don't think I can...I don't think my legs are attached"

"I'll check...yep, still there...but they might be on the wrong way round"

"Mmm...awkward..."

"Yes...but you're a doctor, you could perform an emergency...'legectomy'...that'd fix 'em"

"I didn't bring my emergency 'legectomy' tools..."

Oh...well...I'm good with legs, I could try if you like...let's see now...yep...aha!...I see the problem..."

"What is it Detective?"

"I think a sixty nine should do it..."

...Maura thought about that for a few seconds...

"I'm not altogether sure that's a recognised surgical technique 'Doctor' Rizzoli...and in the absence of the most up to date medical journal it cannot be verified...but.. if I don't pee soon you'll be inserting a catheter and hoping my bladder doesn't rupture..." and with that she carefully got out of bed and ran to the bathroom before gravity got the better of her. Unfortunately, Maura's relief was audible, and Jane found the situation quite amusing- and enlightening- 'the good doctor isn't a cyborg after all- she pees just like the rest of us!' Jane was fairly sure Maura wouldn't appreciate that thought, so she went with a patented Rizzoli comeback.

" Jeez Maura...you really know how to kill the mood don't you?! Gottta work on that bedside manner of yours..." and she was laughing as Maura made her way back to bed. While Jane specialised in pithy comebacks, Maura more than held her own with the 'eyes- narrowed- brow- furrowed death -stare', and Jane was now on the receiving end of a humdinger.

"Are you ...mocking me Detective? and she stood at the side of the bed, butt naked, arms crossed looking scarily severe, and all Jane could think was 'give her a whip and some chains and she'd be a perfect Dominatrix'- again, something she thought better of actually saying- she wasn't quite sure yet exactly what a 'riled Isles' was capable of. Instead she just held out both hands in mock surrender protesting her innocence-with a huge grin plastered across her face.

"Maura!...how could you even suggest such a thing?..I'd never mock you... you know that." And she gave Maura the puppy dog eyes, and batted her lashes for good measure.

"Mmm...well, we both know that's not entirely true" and she got back into bed and slid across to Jane. "But I know you don't actually mean it, so...you're forgiven," and she seductively ran her finger all the way up Jane's body- from her short little curls, over her tight stomach, between her breasts, and up to her lips. Leaving her finger there, she leaned in close enough for a visibly aroused Jane to feel her breath on her lips.

"But I don't forget Detective...so you're going to make it up to me..."

Jane was ready to do almost anything for Maura at this point. " Name it."

Maura smiled, and pulled her finger away- she had the Detective right where she wanted her.

"Brunch...and then some retail therapy...that should be enough for now don't you think?..." and she got up and headed back to the bathroom to freshen up. Jane just lay there, feeling horny as hell and twice as frustrated .She hadn't pegged Maura as such a tease, but she was certainly good at it, but Jane could smile at least- Maura hadn't actually said 'no' to the sixty nine.

An hour later they had left the hotel in search of food- as Jane had pointed out, they had worked up quite an appetite, and Maura's stomach was in agreement.

"Woman cannot live on sex alone." she said. Jane was becoming more impressed by Maura every day- her sense of humour was certainly improving, and they both enjoyed the playful banter that this weekend seemed to bring out in them. Away from work and family and obligation they could just be themselves, and they found they liked each other even more as time went on.

Best friends, lovers, colleagues- they were everything to each other -and the fact that they would be living and working together had the potential to be a difficult situation to balance.

They found a quiet looking cafe-bar on a tree-lined street by the harbour, and having ordered some food, sat outside with some coffee, enjoying the view. Maura in particular seemed to be feeling all of her almost thirty seven years- she was used to being up all night at crime scenes, but not used to what seemed to be a permanently horny Jane.

"I know we've been in bed since last night, but it's so lovely to sit down again...do you think we maybe need to... pace ourselves a little? I'm exhausted...are you always this keen in the bedroom?!" she said, with more than a hint of exasperation. Jane's dimples appeared on her cheeks as she laughed deep and huskily at the tone of her girlfriends voice.

"Maura, I've been in love with you for what?..three years, something like that?" Maura nodded, and did a mental head slap that she was so slow to realise her own feelings for Jane.

" And for at least two years and eleven months of those three years I've wanted to...be intimate with you...of course I'm gonna be horny! Hello?! Do you even know how sexy you are?" Maura smiled, shaking her head at the compliment..."and now that we're together we have a lot of lost time to make up for." Jane had a quick look around to make sure no one could hear and took Maura's hand in hers.

" If I could, I'd take you here and now...I don't know what it is, but honestly... there's more chemistry going on between us than there is in your test tubes in the lab...and no one, ever, has made me feel the way you do." She paused as she took a sip of her coffee, wondering if perhaps she was a little overpowering for Maura, maybe a little too full on. She was looking at her girlfriend with a slightly apologetic expression, and Maura was about to speak before Jane continued.

"I'm sorry if I seem like a horny teenager, although I actually do feel like one!...but, I spent so long having to hide my feelings...every time I was with you I just wanted to kiss you and tell you how I felt...it was so hard Maura...it was like some kind of weird torture." She was smiling but Maura could tell from her cadence that she wasn't remembering these feelings fondly.

"If you ever hugged me I didn't want it to end, if you cuddled up to me on the couch I just wanted to hold you and tell you I loved you...I just wanted...no, needed to be close to you...and until a month ago that's all I had." Maura was feeling guilty now for sounding like making love with Jane was a bit of a chore.

"But now we're together...and engaged I might add," and she took Maura's hand in hers, smoothing her thumb over the ring, "and I can be selfish and do all the things I've wanted to do...and well, while we have this weekend I think we should make the most of it...don't you?"

"It's not selfish Jane, it's understandable...and I'm hardly going to complain that my girlfriend wants to make love to me am I?! It's just, well, let's just say it was a long day yesterday and I'm more used to 'once if you're lucky' men... who in retrospect, were not terribly satisfying... but with you?...oh...if I'd known how good it would be with a woman I'd have done it years ago." and she leaned in and kissed Jane- a full, lip crushing smacker, with no hint of self-consciousness from either of them- until the waitress brought them their food in mid-clinch and both Jane and Maura blushed and pulled away.

"Ladies...sorry to interrupt," she said to Maura who just smiled sweetly, slightly flushed..."two Caesar salads, one with low fat dressing...there you go...and one with classic dressing...that's yours. Can I get you something else to drink?" and she handed them a drinks menu.

After a quick perusal Jane plumped for her favourite beer and Maura decided on a glass of Chablis.

"Thank you... enjoy your food and I'll be back with your drinks." and she smiled and left.

"Well, she has good timing." Jane said as she took a welcome bite of her food- she'd forgotten just how hungry she was.

" And I know what you mean, sex with you is amazing...but I don't think it's just because you're a woman...it's because it is you, and I wouldn't necessarily feel like this about someone else, in fact, I know I wouldn't...it's just you and me...and we make love...that's what it feels like when we're together...we make love...it's wonderful and amazing...and I've never had that with anyone before- and I can't imagine having it with anyone else."

And it was true for Maura as well- she'd never experienced anything as powerful as the force that seemed to pull them together- it was almost spiritual...no, it was spiritual, and Jane was right, they wouldn't feel it with anyone else.

When their drinks arrived they continued eating in relative silence, each contemplating their own version of recent events.

Jane glanced occasionally at Maura with those intense chocolate eyes, and Maura could see love and passion and honesty and commitment- and a thought occurred to her- she'd see those eyes every day, she'd have this utterly amazing woman for the rest of her life-it was as if she was only now realising this fact and it was almost too much to take in. She tried not to over-think it, knowing she'd become emotional, but her thoughts strayed to the one abiding memory of life before Jane- one way or another she was always left behind.

Before Jane, any lovers she'd grown fond of had never seemed to want to make partner, never stayed long enough to see if they could work as a couple- but Jane, her best friend, had been her one constant in a sea of variables, always there to pick up where they'd left off.

Her parents had been off indulging their passions -and their ego's- for as long as she could remember, believing Maura to be happily independent and content in her own world of science and travel.

'Such a mature attitude, so much brighter than other girls her age, so accomplished- she can be anyone and do anything she wants.'

And she did, of course, she was more than capable- but at what cost? Working with dead people so she didn't have to interact with live ones on a regular basis. She'd become so used to her own company, to fending for herself, she didn't know how to ask for anyone else- she was the weird child who knew something about everything- and grew up knowing nothing about life outside her own world, or how to navigate through it.

And then along came Jane, who thought her fun facts were actually quite interesting- just in a weird way. Jane who asked her to come to the Robber after work, because she was part of the Department and that meant she belonged. She'd never 'belonged' anywhere, and while it took time, with Jane's help she found she quite liked people, and they actually liked her. She was part of a team for the first time – no longer the last one to be picked.

She once, (and this thought was likely to bring tears, and as she sipped her wine she fought against going there, now of all times- when she's actually happy- but it was such a strong memory, she couldn't help herself.) She once, at a very low point in her life, likened herself to jetsam- unwanted, drifting along, thrown overboard by two sets of parents - and surely, everyone can learn to swim can't they? Well, yes, if you're shown how not to sink, and for a while, she was treading water, only just staying afloat. And then Jane bobbed along in her rickety little boat, with room for one more on board. Jane was her lifeboat, her rescuer, pulling her from the depths just before she went under. She'd never told Jane just how deep she'd almost gone, but she'd always remember that rickety little boat, and always be grateful to it for carrying her home. She'd been in tricky and dire situations since then of course, too many times really, and Jane would always come to her rescue.

But Jane would never know that she'd saved her long before then.

As expected, the tears had come and Maura dabbed her eyes with her napkin. Jane immediately was by her side, a caring arm around her, like her own personal life belt.

"Hey sweetie, what's the matter?" and she wiped the tears away with her thumb. "Did I do something wrong?" Maura didn't want to go back out to sea today, she was actually happy, though her tears belied the fact.

"No!.. you've done nothing wrong" and she kissed Jane with all the tenderness that she could muster... "I was just looking out at the rickety little boats in the harbour...and realising just how much I love you." and she kissed her again - just at the moment the waitress came over to clear their table.

"I'm sorry, I don't seem to time things very well do I?" and she seemed a little embarrassed. "Can I get you anything else?" They decided they were replete and asked for the bill, and while they waited Jane spoke, wanting to lighten the mood.

"Are you saying I somehow remind you of a boat? Now's not the time to go all Freudian and literal on me Maura!" The doctor just waved her away.

"Forget about it, I'm fine... really...I just had a moment that's all. All better now." and she took Jane's hand and kissed it lightly.

"Mm...well, if you're sure you're okay...you know, it's funny...when you and I, as a couple, were just a fantasy, I wondered about how I'd be in front of people...you know... holding hands, kissing in public, that sort of thing?" Maura nodded, "Whether you'd be uncomfortable you mean?"

"Yeah, and I was a little, at first, but actually, now, I couldn't care less...I'm just so happy you know? I'm finally with you, things have just fallen into place...and I wanna shout it from the rooftops!" and she finished the last of her beer. The waitress arrived- this time having checked first. "See...no kissing!" Jane said to her and she smiled and handed them the bill.

"It's nice to see two people so happy together, don't worry about it." and she headed back inside. Jane and Maura both laughed and kissed again.

" Hear that Maur...'so happy together'...and we do look pretty damn good together don't you think?"

"Indeed we do...but I have to say, I'm surprised how relaxed you are about all these... public displays of affection... it's like I'm seeing a whole new side of you...well...I suppose I am actually! But you're so calm and confident. I can't believe it took me so long to admit my feelings for you... I'm so sorry you had to wait for me to catch up. We really have wasted so much time haven't we?" she sighed as she left some cash on the table.

"Maura, no time with you is wasted time I promise you...I'm just glad we're here now...and I have no plans on going anywhere... unless it's with you. Okay Doctor?" and she took Maura's hand in hers as they headed off.

"Okay...Detective...well in that case, let's go shopping- you owe me some retail therapy remember?" Jane gave her an eye roll and groaned, but a deal was a deal. " Come on then, the sooner we go the sooner we can get back to bed...I've consulted the lesbian handbook and there are tonnes of things we haven't done yet... and I think we'll need more champagne.."she whispered seductively.

Maura looked puzzled and looked quizzically at Jane.

"There's a handbook?...why did I not know this?!"

The next couple of hours were spent strolling around the outdoor markets, or browsing in some of the more upmarket shops and boutiques- all a bit of an ordeal for Jane, but she bore her discomfort with stoicism and fortitude- if it made Maura happy, then she was happy. She did actually like the market, and she was able to free herself from Maura's clutches and go off and mooch on her own- she'd spotted something earlier that Maura had liked and she snuck back to buy it. While she was at it she bought some candles and massage oils...well, you never know when they might come in handy.

Being on her own gave her time to reflect again on the weekend- and so far so good. The three years of pining for Maura had given her more than enough time to imagine what actually being with her would be like, but no amount of imaginings and hypotheticals could have prepared her for how good it felt- how good Maura felt, whether near her, on her or under her.

Jane had never considered herself to be the romantic type, but she found herself constantly thinking of ways to make Maura happy. And she'd become touchy-feely without really noticing when it started- she just liked to be able to touch her, feel her near to her. Also, she'd never really considered herself the type to fall for a woman, if there was a type, which of course there was- they're called lesbians Jane- 'Doh.'

But she'd never felt an attraction to another woman before, and didn't think she would again- it was only Maura who could make her feel like this. So she wasn't going to label it, it was just one human being finding another human being attractive- it was as simple as that.

And Jesus, did she find Maura attractive. It felt like all she had to do was think of Maura and she'd start getting wet, and the ache? Oh, the throbbing ache! She'd never known anything like it. Maybe it's because it's all new and exciting and after a while the novelty will wear off once they settle into a routine. Maybe... but I hope not. God...I hope not- loving Maura should never be routine-it should be revered and come with a health warning.

' Warning- if you've never experienced a Maura before you should start in short bursts before indulging completely- your heart is at risk of being lost forever if you are not fully prepared.' She chuckled to herself at the thought.

And it wasn't just the sex - there was so much more to being in an honest and committed relationship- she'd meant it when she said that it felt like they make love- but even a quickie with Maura would be phenomenal no doubt, something to savour. These were things that she was looking forward to finding out along the way, and she was pinching herself almost in disbelief that someone as smart, brilliant, kind and gorgeous could want to, as Maura had once described it- 'hook into' her. But 'hook in' she did...and line...and sinker

.

There was also a chance that when they lived together, as well as working together, this might put a strain on the relationship- so they would need to avoid things like talking shop all night, and not to constantly worry about each others safety, and definitely not suffocate each other- they would need their space to do their own thing. Just thinking of living together, of waking up beside Maura each morning gave her butterflies and a smile the size of Texas - she had it bad, and damn it felt good.

Her love affair with Maura was going to be the last one that Jane planned on having, and there was no way she was going to fuck this one up.

It was the only one that had ever felt right, with someone she really cared about, and who cared about her as well- Maura was her everything, and Jane would move mountains to make sure she gave everything of herself back to the love of her life. She would give her the hours, the days, the weeks for the rest of her life and give them gladly.

And she'd do her level best to stay alive to do it.

Once they had met up again they strolled back to the hotel and the comfort of their suite. Maura had managed to buy more in the thirty minutes they'd been apart than Jane would buy in a month- another purse, yet another pair of shoes. It still mystified Jane that Maura could become so excited by a pair of shoes, but she went with it, and in all honesty, when Maura had a pair of killer heels on that showed off those fabulous legs, who was she to reason why?

Jane was musing that very image as she watched Maura walking- four inch heels, a gorgeous dress stopping just above the knees, bouncy hair et al. A spark was ignited in Jane as her eyes roamed over her girlfriend in fascination- Jesus she was sexy, and she didn't even need to try.

She was the definition of femininity and had an innate sensuality- and Jane was in absolute awe of her. She was also thinking how incredibly lucky she was- and now - having studied Maura's derriere in some detail- lustful, and she caught up with Maura to walk alongside her.

"Are you feeling tired at all Maura?"

"A little maybe...I'll be glad to get these shoes off actually..."

"Mmm...that's a shame...I was hoping you'd keep them on..." her timbre was deep, throaty and sensual... and highly arousing.

"Well...why don't we have a bath...and then I put them back on?...I've some very nice lingerie on today...I'm sure you'll love it... Detective..." and her voice had dropped an octave and was full of not so subtle meaning- just the kind that Jane liked.

" I can't wait to see it Doctor...and I have just the thing to set the mood..." and Maura suddenly found herself trying to keep up with the long- limbed Detective..

.

When they arrived at the foyer of the hotel, Jane stopped at the desk and asked for some more champagne to be sent up- along with a small basket of fruit. She had the evening all planned out- Maura was going to be pampered, Rizzoli style.

They got back to the room and Jane plonked the bags down, rummaging to find the things she'd need for the evening, while Maura went to freshen up. The 'floordrobe' as Jane had referred to it was coming along nicely, but even she could see that last nights clothing so unceremoniously dumped in the corner looked a mess. Maura would flip out at the sight of it, so Jane quickly grabbed some hangers and put them in the actual closet, and the underwear- if you could call it that, skimpy really didn't cover it, or anything else for that matter - was put away in a shopping bag- She quickly pulled her boots and socks off and threw them in the closet as well- just in the nick of time.

Maura came out of the bathroom, minus the shoes, and flopped onto the large couch, just as there was a knock at the door- the champagne had arrived, and when Jane answered the door, Wesley, the keen young bellboy from last night looked almost disappointed- Jane had clothes on this time.

She gave him another wink, tipped him and sent him on his way. She put the fruit by the couch, opened the bottle and poured them each a glass.

"Okay Maur, I think you need a little pampering tonight...it's been a gruelling day, and you must be exhausted!" and she handed her the glass.

"C'mon, feet up, I'm gonna run us a bath and then let me give 'em a rub for ya'."

She removed her shirt, revealing a pure white tank and an exposed midriff above her jeans, a sight that Maura knew she'd never tire of seeing, especially when it was a tight fit and clung in all the right places.

"Oh Jane, that's so sweet! And I won't argue, I love a good foot rub... don't be too long will you?.. I'd love you to share the bath with me...if you'd like to?" she asked hopefully, letting her eyes roam over Jane's body and sending a slight shiver down the detective's spine.

"Oh..I'd planned on it...and then you're having a massage...I got some oils today...you can never be too relaxed..." and she leaned down and kissed Maura, a slow and sensual kiss that made two sets of nipples instantly perk up.

Jane busied herself in the bathroom, and left the huge bath to fill slowly.

She made sure Maura was comfortable with a soft footstool and took one foot in her hands and slowly rubbed, eliciting a gentle moan from the doctor. Starting at her toes, she gently moved along the length of the foot, with a tenderness that surprised Maura.

"Mmm... that feels wonderful...you're so gentle aren't you? For a 'badass' you have a very soft touch..." Jane lifted her eyes up to meet Maura's, and gave her a slightly crooked smile, before softly kissing each of her toes.

"And if you tell anyone I'll never make love to you again..." and she continued kissing Maura's foot, before moving on to the other one. More soft moans came from the doctor- this was heavenly. Repeating the process Jane moved on to her slender ankle, and then travelled further along the length of her leg to her knee. Maura was about to drift off to sleep when Jane's magic fingers found a sensitive spot in the soft part behind her knee, sending a jolt straight to Maura's core and her nipples, and suddenly she was wide awake!

"God Jane, what did you just do?!" Jane looked up at her with a wry smile..."whatever it was keep doing it!.." but Jane stood up, holding out her hand.

"Come with me..." and she led Maura to the bathroom.

Tea-lights adorned the bathtub, and the floor around it, and with the lights dimmed low it looked like the night sky had tumbled to the floor. Jane turned off the taps and checked the water wasn't too hot- perfect. Scented bubbles filled the room with vanilla and orange blossom and Maura thought it was the most romantic end to a wonderful day. " Jane...it's just beautiful" and she stood on very relaxed tiptoes and kissed her.

"Well, I don't know when we'd have this chance again, and it's such a big tub it seemed a crime to waste it...here...turn around... let me unzip you."

Jane slowly pulled the zipper down, letting her knuckles follow behind, brushing along Maura's spine. She moved the dark blond hair to one side and laid a trail of kisses on her neck, and down her back, before letting the dress slip to the floor. Maura stepped out of it, making sure none of the candles set fire to it, although with the heat being generated from them both it was like being on fire from the inside out, and Maura was wet with arousal.

Jane was still behind Maura, with her hands caressing the doctor's hips. Pressing herself into Maura's back, her hard nipples jutting into her shoulders, she gently ground herself against the doctor's ass, while bringing her hands up to her breasts, cupping and kneading them through her bra. " You were right, the lingerie is beautiful..." She undid the strap and gently threw the bra across the room.

Maura wasn't sure how much more of this she could take and she turned round to face Jane. " Kiss me...please..." and Jane leaned down and pulled Maura in for another tender kiss, her left hand roaming in her hair. Tonight was about slow and sensual, about giving Maura everything she wanted, everything she deserved, and that should never be rushed- she planned on taking her time.

Her hands wandered across Maura's back, to her hips and finally to her panties. Sliding her right hand inside, she stroked Maura's cheek, with an occasional squeeze, before using both hands to ease them down. She knew Maura would be wet, as she was herself, but she hoped Maura could wait a little longer. " We should get in", she rasped into Maura's ear, "before it gets cold" and the doctor wondered just how deep Jane's voice could go.

"Make sure you get undressed won't you? she laughed, and stepped in to the still hot water. " Mmm...it's perfect Jane...let me watch you undress...you look so sexy like that... " and there was that crooked smile again, still not entirely comfortable with a compliment, but getting better with practise. Jane watched as Maura settled herself in the bath, and the bubbles rode up to her breasts- she looked incredible, and Jane knew she'd struggle to keep this a slow burn.

Not taking her eyes off Maura she unbuttoned her fly one by one, and for a few seconds Maura had the glorious sight of olive skin sandwiched between her short white tank and her open jeans with low cut shorts. She didn't think she'd seen anything sexier- this woman had no idea how delicious she was, and that was a crime. Jane wriggled the jeans down and pulled off her tank and stood for a few seconds in just her underwear. At least she was getting better at coordinating the tops with the bottoms.

She removed the last barriers and stepped in to the bath, taking her place behind Maura.

"Hey you..." she husked, and slid her long arms around Maura's waist, while her legs slid down alongside Maura's, blanketting them.

"Hey yourself...comfy?"

"Mmm...very...you feel...wet!" and she laughed..."let me just check..." and she brought her hand down and very softly parted her folds..."very wet...let's see what we can do about that shall we?..." and she swiped her finger back and forth along Maura's pussy. Maura shuddered at her touch, and when Jane took one of her breasts and tweaked the nipple she leaned back into Jane's body and let out a throaty moan..."Mmm...oh you can keep doing that Jane, it feels so good..." Jane kissed her shoulders and neck as she continued to play with her folds, but, teasingly, not actually going any further in- she didn't want to Maura to come hard here, that was for later.

" You're right, it does feel good, and if you really want me to I'll make you come right now" and she gave Maura's clit a little flick... "but I have something even better in mind... after your massage..." and she gently bit down on Maura's shoulder, and Maura was ready to come there and then.

" I don't think I can wait that long Jane...and you do have me at something of a disadvantage." she breathily replied, her chest heaving under Jane's delicate touch.

"Maybe just a small one?...to tide me over until later," she said with a little laugh and she brought both arms up behind her, and settled her hands in Jane's hair. Jane couldn't help but laugh as well, and she ran her hands all over Maura's now elongated and slippery body.

"Well, I suppose one wouldn't hurt Doctor...but don't you go liking it too much... you need to save some for later remember..." and she deftly found Maura's swollen clit and rubbed it while still massaging her breast.

"I'll try not to...but...oh fuck Jane!...you don't make it easy on a girl!...and she could feel she was about to come..."oh yes...faster..." and Jane increased her pace and felt Maura's nipple harden even more, and saw her neck flush...she was close..."come for me baby...let me hold you... come for me Maura"...and she felt her girlfriend's body shudder as she gently let one finger slide into her slick pussy- just a little, but enough to push Maura over the edge. "Oh god Jane yes...oh I'm coming...yes...!..." and she leaned back into Jane as her orgasm jolted through her, and she rode it out, Jane still gently pushing her finger in and out, until Maura relaxed and let out a throaty laugh.

"Even the little one's are big..." She untangled their legs, and turned around with the agility of a dancer to lovingly kiss a smirking Jane.

" Sorry about that...I'll try and get it right next time..."

Sipping champagne on the couch, a far cry from their usual beer and pizza, the two lovers cuddled up together, in their fancy hotel bathrobes, in exactly the same positions they'd had in the bathtub- Maura in front, with Jane's ridiculously long arms wrapped round her. Maura would be eternally grateful for Jane's long limbs and the way they enveloped her- it was like being in protective custody when she was in the detectives arms. She let out a gentle sigh, not really wanting her to ever let go.

"I wish we could stay like this forever...but I suppose we'll have to go back to the real world at some point..."

"We will" Jane replied with a sigh..."and there'll be times when we'll argue.. or flip out over something, just like any other couple...but for now, let's just enjoy this shallwe?" her voice low and husky...and she slid her hand inside the robe and absent mindedly toyed with a breast- it was becoming a habit now, Maura thought to herself- but what a lovely habit it was.

Jane decided it was time for Maura's massage- she didn't think she'd ever tire of Maura's skin, it was like a cross between velvet and silk, and Jane could just stroke it like this forever.

"Sorry to make you move, but I think I promised you a massage...and I always keep my promises...come on, I need you naked and on the bed."

As Jane finished lighting the last of the tea-lights, Maura poured them some more champagne. The fruit basket was strategically placed next to the bed, and, feeling a little peckish, she couldn't resist a succulent looking peach. As Jane turned round and caught sight of her girlfriend slowly biting into it's juicy flesh she was mesmerized as some juice pooled around Maura's lips- she licked it away and the effect on Jane was almost hypnotic.

"Jesus...do you have any idea just how sexy that is?...I really have died and gone to heaven...and don't ever do that in public, you'll create a fucking stampede..." and she leaned down and kissed a grinning Maura, running her tongue seductively over her mouth. " And we are definitely eating more fruit from now on..."

Maura was laying face down on the bed, after finally getting exactly the right level of pillow support for her head and shoulders, and the correct ratio of towels per square foot of mattress underneath her- in case of 'spillages', as she had referred to the mess they would both no doubt be making. "Eew...Maura.!..do you have to make it sound so...clinical?" and she pulled a face akin to the last time her mother made her eat broccolli.

"The oils Jane...I meant the massage oils... she replied impatiently, as Jane just did an eye roll,"they'll stain the bed linen otherwise...at least this way it's only the towels that get messy...now... I'm ready when you are..." and she brought her arms out to the sides and exhaled deeply, as if to confirm her readiness.

"Good...finally!" Jane was seeing Maura's attention to detail in a whole new light..."and you're comfortable?..." Maura nodded. "Happy with the pillows?" Maura nodded again. "Don't want the room moved three inches to the left?" she sighed, and Maura swung her arm out to smack Jane.

"Sarcasm is an ugly trait Jane...I simply want to make sure that we're both comfortable...there's no need to be snippy..." and she huffily turned her head away from Jane...and tutted for good measure. Jane sighed quietly, and chewed on the inside of her cheek...why were they bickering?

On this occasion Jane decided that discretion was the better part of valour-she really didn't want to get into an argument over something as silly as this, although, Maura really should be used to it by now...she sat on the edge of the bed, and ran her hand through Maura's hair.

"Maur...I'm sorry okay? I didn't mean to be 'snippy'...and you know sarcasm is just what I do..." Maura turned back to face Jane, her features softening with Jane's 'apology'... "and I love that you want to make me comfortable...it's very thoughtful of you...so can we just do this now?...I know you'll love it.." and with a grin and a cheeky wink it seemed Jane was forgiven. Maura returned the grin and gave Jane a quick kiss.

"Okay...and I'm sorry I snapped at you...I just like to be thorough...now, shall we?..." and she assumed the position, again.

"Well, you just lie there and relax" she said as she was reading the legend on the bottle... "these oils are supposed to 'evoke the sensation of the warm evening sun, and take you to a paradise of calm and peaceful tranquillity'...right...just don't fall asleep on me...we still have unfinished business..."

Jane warmed the oil in her hands before lightly smoothing it over Maura's shoulders and back- with an even dexterity that surprised the doctor. She let out soft moans of approval as Jane's hands worked their way lower, towards one of the Detective's favourite parts of Maura's body. "I love these little dimples just above your butt Maura...they're just so cute...and sexy" and she kissed each one before stroking them lovingly.

"Mmm, that feels good..." Maura's words were muffled slightly by the pillows. "and they're known as the 'Dimples of Venus'...in ancient times they were supposed to signify beauty...after Venus, the Roman Goddess of Beauty..." and Maura just melted into the mattress as Jane massaged all around them, and moved down a little further to work some oil into her butt cheeks. "Oh my, Jane...that's heavenly!..." and Jane smirked as Maura moaned and groaned into the pillow. " Not nearly as heavenly as the view from here Maur...god you have the most beautiful ass ...those Romans knew a thing or two didn't they?.. oh you feel so good baby.." and she kneaded Maura's firm ass and felt herself becoming wet with arousal.

"Oh god Jane...it feels incredible...please don't stop...you have the most amazing hands..." and as Jane stroked and kneaded her ass, her sex was being pushed down into the towel, creating a friction that was almost unbearable-her pussy was wet and her core was throbbing, a delicious sensation, and one that Jane could tell was driving her mad- she was now obviously grinding her pussy into the mattress. It was turning Jane on more and more to see Maura so ready to be fucked, and she did so hate to disappoint.

Jane kissed Maura all around her ass and the tops of her thighs, then moved down her legs, stopping at the fleshy part behind her knees- a highly erogenous zone for her girlfriend and Maura almost came right then as Jane gently stroked the area. Jane dried her oily hands on the towel before moving up to lie next to Maura, "Roll over onto your back for me..." her timbre was raw with sex, and her eyes were black as night-she was so turned on right now that not coming wasn't an option, it was just a matter of when, not if. "Oh god Maura I need to fuck you soon..." and their lips crushed together, tongues everywhere, hands and legs intertwined.

Jane used her knee to part Maura's legs and climbed on top of the doctor- she gently lowered herself down, their breasts squashing together, and hard nipples rubbing against each other. Jane shifted and wriggled a little so that their pussies were pressed together and they found a natural rhythm to grind against each other. " Oh fuck Maura...that's so good...do you like that baby?...oh your pussy feels so good..." Maura raised her hips up into Jane, and the their throbbing pussies felt like they were on fire.

Jane lifted herself into a press-up position and pushed her hips down and thrust into Maura so that now their clits rubbed together- the most incredible feeling of closeness- it felt like they were of one body. Jane's mouth found a breast and sucked on the hard nipple, using her other hand to twist and tweak the other breast. " Oh fuck ...that feels amazing Jane...keep going baby...keep going, just there...oh fuck I'm so close Jane...come with me baby...it feels like your inside me..." and she thrust her hips up and ground against Jane harder and faster.

Jane spread Maura's legs a little wider with her knee, and met Maura's dripping pussy with every thrust..."Oh baby I'm gonna come...it feels like I'm really fucking you...oh god Maura, please...come with me..." Maura was already there and her legs began to shake as she felt her climax building..."I'm coming Jane...I'm coming...fuck me with your clit..." and she held her breath as she felt every part of herself come undone, and she shuddered to a violent orgasm, the hardest yet. She exhaled and it felt like she was going to black out as wave after wave ripped through her.

Jane felt Maura's pussy throbbing against hers and she too felt her whole body seize up with the most intense climax so far, "Oh fuck...oh my god Maura...that was..." and her deep throaty voice trailed off as she tried to catch her breath in lungs that felt like they might explode. She was suddenly very still as she slowly ground her orgasm out against Maura's pussy, giving them both gentle aftershocks that rippled like waves on the shore.

Breathing hard and sweating, Jane quietly collapsed onto Maura, but even the doctor's soft chest was too much pressure and, reluctantly, she rolled off, and her lungs breathed a huge sigh of relief. Enjoying the exquisite feeling of coming down, they lay together- unable to even think about stringing any coherent words into a full sentence.

Coming together like that, with body parts that felt like they were fused together, and not using fingers or tongues, had felt...well, incredible. If there was a Lesbian Handbook, Jane decided that particular position would be at number one in the top ten, and she was already looking forward to them trying it again...but maybe not just yet- they had to go back to work on Monday and she wasn't yet sure of recovery times- she might have the hormones of a horny teenager, but not the staying power...

"Wow...just...wow," was the best she could manage, and Maura, ever the flowery, eloquent one, agreed. "Yeah...wow."

Jane's breathing was returning to normal, and she still had that lovely tingling sensation at her core. She leaned over to the bedside table and grabbed the champagne glasses. She sat up to sip her drink, the power of speech coming back to her... " So...were you taken to a 'paradise of calm and peaceful tranquillity' Doctor Isles?..." and she looked over at Maura- pink faced and sweaty, hair a fantastic mess, and her thighs wet with cum – and Jane grinned at the thought of what they'd just done and how amazing it had felt to be so connected to each other.

Maura laughed out loud at the ridiculous question- she felt anything but tranquil- she had a dilemma.

"Oh um...calm?...no!...I feel like...well,.." and she looked away, bashful about whatever she was thinking. An intrigued Jane encouraged her to say it..."Come on Maur...you shouldn't be embarrassed with me, especially after everything we've done this weekend..."

With her face in her hands to hide her discomfort and flushing, Maura explained. "Alright...it's just... I like it...I like to talk dirty...in the heat of the moment I mean...in fact I love it!" Jane appeared to be shocked at this admission.

"Really?...well I would never have known...you seemed so...demure..." she couldn't help but laugh a little as Maura poked her in the ribs.

"Yes, well much as I like dirty talk in bed... I feel really uncomfortable using that kind of language outside the bedroom...so I'm sorry but this really isn't very lady-like at all...but I feel like I have to say it" Jane was on tenterhooks by this point..." well, say it then Maura!"

" Alright, ...I feel like...well...like we just fucked each others brains out Jane!...literally my brain's turned to mush...and it just felt so good I had to say it!..." and she squirmed and blushed- but it felt strangely liberating- crude and crass yes, but entirely appropriate given the circumstances. Jane thought this was hilarious- her prim and proper Doctor Isles talking like trailer trash- until last night she couldn't remember Maura ever reallyswearing, but then again, until last night they'd never fucked either- there was a first for everything.

" Maur...we did fuck each others brains out!..and it was amazing!..and when you're in my...no...our bed...you can talk as dirty as you like...I don't mind at all, in fact... I find it sexy as hell... and a huge turn on." She leaned in to give Maura a lingering kiss... "but I know you don't usually like to swear or use curse words and that's fine too"... and Maura nodded... "they're all overused anyway...and when you do swear, well, it has more impact, makes people sit up and take notice."

Maura thought about this-the power of language, with it's ability to shock, to be evocative- to smile or cry at words spoken in love or hate. Their different meanings, or the way they are said, or, particularly, just how descriptive one word could be.

She sipped her champagne with her pinkie finger jutting out- oh so very 'lady-like' Jane thought to herself, still finding Maura's use of the expletive amusing- it was just something she'd never expect to Maura say, although she doubted it would become a habit... but if it did...

"Not that I'd mind if you told Pike to go fuck himself... arrogant asshole..." and she took a gulp of her champagne.

Maura cleared her throat as if to admonish Jane- but, strangely, with her rediscovered love of the use language, that wasn't what she was gearing up to say...

"Now Jane... that's not really fair is it?...Pike's not an asshole. she said as she poured the last of her champagne into her glass and took a dainty sip..."he's a cunt..."

And Jane nearly choked on her champagne..."Maura!"..

Bless that lovely Doctor, she's really coming out of her shell! And I want to marry Jane.

Please review, and I hope you liked it. Chapter 4 will be along soon...everybody on the bus...
