Chapter 7

"Bass, I'm home," I declared and pulled my luggage in. Even though it had only been a few days it felt like weeks since the last time I was home. I felt immediately better to see that everything was as I had left it.

Moments later I saw a red ballon bobbling by the kitchen counter, "what on earth?" I mumbled and walked towards it, "Bass, you've got a ballon attached to you," I cooed as I knelt down to stroke his shell.

"Maura, sweetheart. When did you get back?" Angela said as she walked in from the back door. As her eyes landed on Bass, she smiled shyly, "I attached a ballon to him so that I wouldn't accidentally hurt him,"

"Hey, I actually got back today and thank you for taking care of Bass," I smiled.

"It's alright sweetheart. How was the funeral?"

"Small, quiet…nothing really happened,"I looked down and scratched my chest.

"Jane was so snappy during your stay in London. I hope you weren't there alone. Did Ian go with you?"

"Umm…Ian and I broke up,"

Her eyes widened, "I'm so sorry. What horrible timing. What happened? Did he hurt you?" her eyes narrowed, "Janie didn't tell me,"

I shook my head and gave her a closed mouthed smile, "I…umm, I'm not really ready to talk about it. I hope you don't mind," Angela nodded and returned my smile.

"Of course. I'm here whenever you're ready to talk. You must be hungry. Do you want me to make you a sandwich?"

"I'm not actually that hungry and I'm meeting Jane at the Dirty Robber later, I'll eat then but thank you,"

"You know that I love you just as much as my own kids and will do anything for you Maura. I just want all of my babies to be happy, that includes you,"

Tears clouded my vision, "Thank you,"

The smell of French fries and beer entered my nose as soon as I stepped into the low lit bar. Several detectives sat by the bar and nursed their beers whilst they animatedly chatted to their colleagues. Angela bounced from group to group taking orders and refilling drinks, upon seeing me her smile widened and her head tilted towards Jane's direction.

The sound of laughter and the clicking of drinking cups increased as I walked further into the establishment, just as Angela had directed Jane, Detective Frost, Detective Korsak and Frankie all sat in a corner booth the furtherest away from the bar. All too distracted to notice me, I smiled and welcomed the opportunity to study the group. Jane dominated the conversation whilst the others held their own drinks and listened to her every word. Frankie had a look of admiration, Frost held a grin whilst Korsak chuckled lightly.

My stomach was already doing somersaults and Jane's gaze hadn't even met mine. I was almost certain that if she were to send me her dimpled face smile I would have turned into jelly, and if she wanted to keep our relationship quiet for now, my actions needed to be control or I would have ruined it. Because she had the ability to make me feel giddy, reckless and alive and it didn't help that I was still aroused and frustrated from our unfinished business.

"Maura," Frankie smiled, "you're here! Come sit," he grinned whilst sliding aside to give me room. "Thank you Frankie," I smiled and adjusted by dressed before greeting the other detectives.

As my gaze flicked to Jane's deep brown orbs, my stomach danced with excitement, "hey Jane," I barely rasped, my voice dripping with arousal. I suppose others would say that my eyes were 'undressing' her.

"Maura, I umm…I didn't know what you wanted to eat so…we…we waited for you," she mumbled and gripped the neck of her beer bottle and brought it to her parting lips. Was she shaking? I thought.

My eyes were transfixed on her lips as I watched her drink the amber liquid, subconsciously licking my own lips I took a deep breath as I remembered how incredible her mouth felt against mine. My cheeks coloured as I thought about this mornings event and how I knew that her eyes rolled back ever so slightly as she sighed with pleasure. I couldn't wait to explore more of Jane.

"Maur?" she grinned, those damn dimples appearing. Why couldn't my mind behave? "So…ummm….food? Frankie's getting hungry," My eyes widened. Fuck, I'd forgotten we had company.

"Oh. I'm sorry," I said, feeling a blush on my cheeks.

"Ohh…Oh…umm…" Frankie chuckled uncomfortably and looked down, avoiding eye contact with us, "it's fine," he mumbled.

Feeling slightly shameful, I looked at the menu and muttered, "I'll just have a grilled chicken salad," Jane nodded and took everyones orders before excusing herself and strolling to the bar. I watched her go and bit my bottom lip. How did I go years without ripping her clothes off?

"Okay!" Frankie shook his head before downing the rest of his beer, "I'll be right back," he said. Had I said it out loud?

"Wait up," Detective Korsak held his empty cup and shimmied out of the booth.

"What the hell was all that about?" Frost asked after a few seconds of silence, "so…you and Jane work out your issues?" Frost grinned, "she looked like a kicked puppy all week long and I'm tellin' ya. Working with a mad Jane is like hell. She yells at every little damn thing," he laughed.

"I'm sorry…"

"What for?" he chuckled, "you're not responsible. She just needed to sort out her shit. So has she?"

"I'm not sure what you're asking?" I smiled.

"Oh come on, Doctor Isles…" he chuckled.

"What's going on?" Jane asked. I looked up and silently thanked her. I knew how private Jane was about her love life and I didn't want to say something that I shouldn't have.

"Nothing at all," Frost grinned.

"I got you your favourite wine," Jane said. Our eyes met, the intensity within them instantly effecting me, "Imma go get another drink," Frost said. I'm sure he had muttered something as he left but I didn't hear him. Everything else was on mute but Jane.

"You look beautiful," Jane said as soon as we were alone.

"Jane, we need to talk about us," I whispered. "I need to know what's acceptable and what isn't,"

"You smell great too," she whispered and grabbed my hand, "I've missed your smooth skin," my hand gripped hers as I tried to control my breathing.

"Jane…I may not be as private as you but I'm sure that this isn't acceptable behaviour,"

"God and your mouth. I can't stop staring at those lips," she whined. Was she even listening to me?

"Please don't do this here," I stuttered, my legs shaking with need, "there's nothing that I can do…here,"

"I can't help myself Maur. This morning has left me ratty, unsatisfied and horny as fuck. I've thought of nothing but you. Even as I was arresting that son of a bitch…I thought of you. Then you waltzed in wearing that tight dress and fuck…I want you so much," she whispered, our faces so close that I could almost taste her breath, her eyes were almost black. My self-control was thoroughly being tested.

Before Jane could reply, the others rejoined us and our hands immediately sprung apart. With ragged breath, I rapidly stood up on wobbly legs and rushed to the restroom, I couldn't allow the others to see me like this. It was embarrassing and unprofessional. My chest heaved rapidly and my vision blurred with this frenzied arousal.

Looking at my reflexion, I noted how my light eyes were wide and dark and how my pale skin was flushed. Gripping the sides of the sink, I closed my eyes and took several breaths to calm myself. Moments later, two strong arms gripped my hips and lips deliciously attacked my neck, "Maur," she groaned, her torso pushing me further into the sink. A moan left my parted lips as her strong body moved into mine. We knew that doing this in a public restroom was dangerous, anyone could have walked in but we didn't care, our need for each other was too strong.

Spinning around, our eyes locked, "I love you," I smiled and cupped her face in both hands. Jane's lips crushed into mine with a bruising kiss that left me squeaking in surprise. My hands grasped her shoulders and pushed her back, we stumbled into the nearest cubical. And a gasp left her lips as I slammed her against the closing door and deepened our kiss, I could taste beer and something else that was uniquely Jane and it was deliciously addictive. Then realisation hit me, my lips move to her ear, "Jane, I hate to do this but I think we should stop,"

"No!" she groaned and spun us around, "no…" she repeated and grabbed my thigh and hooked it around her torso, pushing herself into my core and bringing our faces excruciatingly close, our noses touched, "I need you," she almost pleaded.

"I do too but I'm merely suggesting we move this to one of our homes. I don't want our first time to be in a restroom. I don't just want to fuck you. I want to make love to you," I rasped and kissed her. Suddenly Angela's voice cut through the restroom, "Janie, you in here?"

We jumped at the sound of Angela's voice. Jane's grip on me tightened as she held me up in an effort to keep my legs from showing under the door, "Yeah, I'm here Ma," she rasped, our gazes locked, "I've got you," she whispered with reassurance.

"What as that?" Angela shouted.

"Nothing Ma. What're you want?" she snapped, slightly annoyed.

Our foreheads rested together, "I love you," I whispered and kissed her. Even with Angela standing a few feet away, Jane's pull on me was too strong. I gently grazed our lips together and swallowed her low moan.

"Just letting you know that your burger and fries are done,"

We grinned, "Thanks ma,"

"Oh, and Janie, you've not seen Maura have you? The boys said that she just rush out. You didn't upset her did you?"

"No, Mother. I did not upset her. Now go! Can't I use the toilet in peace?"

"Alright Jane, no need to shout," we listened to the squeaky door swinging shut and sighed with relief, "thank god! Didn't think she'd ever leave," Jane grinned and close the small distant with a gentle kiss.

"I'm suddenly not hungry for food," Jane said as my feet touched the ground.

"I'm gonna have to agree,"

"Crazy thought. Wanna skip this place?"

"What about the others Jane? Isn't that kind of rude?"

Jane shrugged, "I don't care about anything but you. I love you and want you. The rest can wait," she stated matter-of-factly.

With lost inhibition on both parts, Jane's hands wrapped around mine and we dashed out of the Dirty Robber. Never once holding back, "where to?" I asked.

"My apartment. No interruptions or nosey mothers," she uttered.

I don't know who kissed who first but as soon as the front door slammed shut our lips crushed together in a searing kiss. Our hands tugged and pulled our clothes as we stumbled to Jane's room, leaving a trail of clothes and artefacts that had been knocked to the ground due to our clumsy limbs. It was messy, desperate and beautiful.

By the time we had reached her bedroom, we were down to our underwear. My eyes moved down to her olive skinned body, "beautiful," I whispered, but before I had the time to admire Jane's abdominal muscles, or her flawless collarbones gracing her sternum, my eyes became transfixed on the sight of Jane unclasping her bra whilst simultaneously kicking off her panties. Naked, flushed skin and panting, Jane's blackened eyes stared straight into mine. My lower abdomen ache with pure adulterated need. Lunging forward my tongue assaulted her mouth and pushed her backwards onto the bed, with me landing on her.

The feel of her naked body squirming underneath me was so intense, the sensation so strong that it made me dizzy. A moan left my parted lips as her stiff nipples brushed against my clothed ones. As if she had read my mind, her hands came to rest on my back and unclasped my bra.

"Gorgeous," she murmured before taking one of my erect nipples into her mouth and swirled her tongue coaxing moans of pleasure from my lips. My back arched and my fingernails dug into her shoulders.

"Jane," I groaned.

"Kiss me please," I begged.

Before I knew it, Jane expertly rolled me over and pinned me to the bed, "I'm always on top," she arched her brow, and sent me a cocky grin before leaning down and capturing my lips whilst her hands wrapped around my thighs and dragged me down until my centre smashed straight into her own thigh. The sensation, jerking a loud moan from me.

Her mouth bit and licked my neck as my legs wrapped around her torso and bounced off of her raised thigh. The friction that was created so delicious that I wanted more. I was so wet that I was sure that I had coated her with my dripping sex, "Fuck, I need to feel you," she groaned and ran her left hand past my breast, over my stomach and stopping just above my hip bone. Lifting her head up, she hovered over me and silently asked me for permission. I nodded and took a deep breath.

"I want you so much," I whispered, so sweetly and untangled my legs so that she could remove the final barrier between us. "Beautiful," she murmured and returned to my lips for a searing kiss. My hands palmed her breasts and toyed with her nipples and I loved the beautiful moans she kept releasing. Her open mouthed kisses moved to my neck as her hand snuck between our bodies and stroked at my sex teasingly.

"Jane," I moaned when her digits slowly dipped in, "don't tease me Jane. We've waited long enough," I rasped, "I want to feel you in me,"

Finally giving in, Jane slid two long, tapered fingers into my core and my body gripped her hungrily, "you're so wet," she murmured her voice so hoarse that it fuelled my arousal even further.

"Only for you," I cried and grasp her brown curls as she moved within me. Her thrusts picked up speed set by my hips. I couldn't stop my screams as she pounded away at my core. Catching my quivering bottom between her teeth she bit down hard sending another wave of pleasure down my spine. My hands clawed into her thigh as I desperately pulled her even harder against me.

The sudden need to feel Jane around my own fingers became apparent as she thrusted within me. My fingers trailed down her body, moved past her knuckled and gently cupped her mound, the advantage of Jane's left handiness much appreciated, I grinned. Then I even out the playing field and plunged two fingers deep into Jane's dripping sex. Jane's body shuttered at the unexpected contact.

"Fuck, Maura!" she moaned, "warn a girl next time," she groaned, grinding her hips against my body effectively pushing my fingers deeper in her.

"Why? You sound like you're enjoying yourself," I laughed, teasingly. However, my teasing was short lived once Jane's thumb pressed down on my clit, enticing several loud moans from my mouth. My eyes slammed shut as her body engulfed mine, her fingers mercilessly pumped into me, momentarily stopping my own digits from moving within her as I focused on the overwhelming sensation shooting through my every cell.

Our eyes locked, and with newfound vigour I plunged my fingers deeper and faster into Jane and watched her ride my fingers. It was the hottest thing I had ever seen. Jane's own fingers thrusted hard into me every time her toned thighs pushed behind her hand, "fuck…please don't stop Jane," I gasped.

"I've got you," she grunted and moaned as our bodies rocked together in a synced, frantic dance. Our stiff nipples brushed against one another as sweat coated our skin aiding our glide together. The erotic sound of our bodies slamming together echoed throughout the room along with our moans and we were so close, I could feel it.

"Jane…Jaaaayne," I cried with ecstasy, I was feeling wildly out of control as I rapidly slid my fingers in her, "yes…"

The cacophony of our joint screaming, bodies slamming and bed squeaking never sounded so beautiful to me as we made love to each other. Then with one final thrust, Jane's fingers plunged deep within me and crushed her palm against my clit sending me into a spiral of screams and thrashing mess. Seconds later, Jane's scream of ecstasy matched mine as we both came together. Our fingers gently slid within our sex as we rode the orgasm out. Moments later she collapsed bonelessly on top of me, neither of us spoke for a while as we panted and allowed our milestone step to sink in.

Then Jane started to laugh, her body violently shaking above mine, "we did it!" she screamed, "we fucking did it. We managed to make love without any goddamn interruption!" she laughed and brought our lips together. Although my mind was still in a haze, I shrugged and joined in with the laughter.

A/N: This was the first time that I wrote smut, so please be gentle with me guys. I really hate asking for reviews because I know that you're all busy people but I would really really love to hear your thoughts. What did I do that was good, and what needs improving? Should I just skip smut altogether? Please tell me or DM me.
