Out of Tune

Maura told Jane she was going to take care of everything. Literally everything. She even gave Jane clothing to wear. When Jane suggested that the clothing part was probably a little weird, Maura responded that she didn't want Jane to have to worry about a single thing. So Jane dressed in the dark gray suit and purple button down shirt that Maura had presented to her. It was undoubtedly odd for Jane to be treated like this, but the suit fit so well that Jane had to consider whether she should let Maura always dress her.

It was Friday evening and their first change to spend any real time together all week. Maura said she wanted to take Jane out to dinner. When Jane opened the door after Maura's knock they were both speechless for a moment. Maura was wearing a dress that clung to her in all the right places. Jane guessed it was new since it was almost the exact shade of purple as the shirt she was wearing. "Maura you look incredible."

"No, Jane you look amazing," Maura said walking around Jane in a circle to see all of her.

"I thought you'd pick a dress," Jane said.

"You don't seem to be a big fan of wearing dresses, even though you look great in them. And I had this exact image stuck in my head."

"How the heck did you know that this would fit me perfectly?"

Maura smiled and said, "I'm well acquainted with your body."

Jane grabbed Maura by the waist and pulled them together. "Are you sure we need to go out? We could just stay here and get even more acquainted."

"No, you're not getting out of this. Come on, let's go," Maura said, taking one of Jane's hands in her own and leading her out the door. There was a cab waiting outside and Maura directed it to the No. 9 Park restaurant in Beacon Hill.

"These places make me nervous," Jane half-whispered across the table after they were seated.

Maura leaned forward put her hand on top of Jane's on the table and squeezed gently. "I know, that's why we're here. I don't have to go to fancy places all the time to be happy, but I want to sometimes, and this is no reason for you to be nervous. No one here has anything on you. If you act like you belong, that's how you'll be treated."

"You sound like you're trying to train me."

Maura sat back up straight. "If you want to be defensive and negative about it you can think of it that way. Or you can choose to think of it as no different from when you taught me about baseball and the Red Sox. I'm not judging one thing to be superior or inferior to the other. I'm not trying to change you Jane, but why bother being in a relationship if we aren't going to learn about the things we each enjoy. The point of being here, for me anyway, isn't to be seen or show off, but to come someplace where we are going to eat food that's been created like a work of art. If you just relax I'm sure you'll enjoy it."

"Okay, I understand. So...what should I order?"

"Whatever looks good to you. If you're not sure what to get you can always order the Chef's tasting menu. Let the Chef make the decision for you."

"Is that what you're getting?"

"Yes."

"Okay, me too."

Maura ordered the food for both of them and a bottle of wine. After one bite of the entree, Jane said, "Oh my god, don't you dare tell my mother I said this, but this is the best food I have ever eaten. I mean the taste and the texture. I don't even know what this but I've never eaten anything even close to tasting like this. I totally get what you were saying now about food being a work of art." Maura just smiled in response.

After dinner they walked hand in hand to Maura's house. Jane said she was just going to freshen up and went into Maura's guest bathroom. When she was finished, Jane heard Maura in the bedroom and went to find her. The lights in the bedroom were off and Maura was lighting candles that were placed around the room. "Wow," Jane said, "this is so romantic."

Jane started to take off her jacket but Maura said, "Don't move. Please. I want to do it." Once the candles were all lit Maura came to stand by Jane. She turned around and lifted her hair up, gesturing for Jane to unzip her dress. Jane slid the zipper down and Maura stepped out of the dress and put it away. Now standing in front of Jane in just her bra and underwear, Maura brushed her hands over Jane's shoulders and down the front of the suit jacket. "I've been thinking about taking this suit off of you from the moment I saw you in it tonight."

Jane swallowed hard. Maura moved her hands under the jacket and pushed it off of Jane's shoulders. Maura folded the jacket and placed it over the back of the chair in her bedroom. Then she slowly unbuttoned Jane's shirt and ran her fingers over the exposed skin of Jane's chest and stomach. "I want us to be completely open and honest with each other, okay?"

Jane nodded and Maura continued, "I wanted you from the first time we went to yoga together. You are so incredibly beautiful. My physical attraction to you grew and wouldn't go away. I thought if we just had sex I could get over it. But I didn't get over it because in the meantime I was falling in love with you because of the person you are. I'm sorry I made this so much more difficult than it needed to be. But I think tonight has been perfect."

"Me too," Jane whispered.

Maura pushed Jane's shirt off and tossed it onto the chair. "Go lie down," Maura instructed and Jane obeyed, lying on her back on the bed. Maura took off her own bra and underwear and tossed them aside. Then kneeling on the bed, Maura unbuttoned Jane's pants and pulled them off before straddling Jane's hips.

Maura let out a gasp of surprise as Jane wrapped her hands around Maura's ass and pulled her roughly forward until Maura was hovering over Jane's head. "What are you doing?" Maura asked.

"I think I've been patient long enough, don't you? You dressed me and took me to dinner and then I let you undress me. Now I'm ready for my dessert." Jane paused for a second until she was sure Maura knew what she was talking about before plunging her tongue inside Maura who moaned at the contact.

Maura gripped the headboard with both hands to keep herself upright as Jane moved her attention to Maura's clit, alternating between circling it with her tongue and sucking on it. "Oh, god, Jane, fuck, Jane, fuck," Maura groaned as she rocked harder into Jane's face and Jane gripped Maura's ass tighter until she felt Maura's body shuddering. Jane wiped her face on Maura's thigh and then helped Maura ease down onto the bed so they were lying down face to face.

"I guess you are capable of swearing," Jane joked.

"Shut up! That was just really unexpected."

"You brought me into your bedroom, lit candles, undressed, then undressed me, and that was still unexpected?"

"No. Yes. The way you.." Maura trailed off.

"Fucked you?" Jane offered.

"Yes, that was unexpected."

"Good. I don't want you to get bored so early in our new relationship."
