A cool breeze blew intermittently over her neck and shoulder making her shudder and snuggle deeper into the warmth below. Mmmm, the throaty groan slipped from her lips as her long arms wrapped tighter around the pillow beneath and nose pressing into silky softness. She found herself in a half state of awake and slumber, the kind where your brain wakes first but the body is still unwilling to move. The time when random thoughts pop into your head, today being no different from any other day when her over tired body refused to face the day it had ahead. When did my bed become so soft?, and that smell, is this a new detergent?, she couldn't remember buying a different brand, maybe they improved it...nuzzling her nose further into the smell she breathed it in. It smells nice, she mused, it's like fresh flowers and something else, what is it?, it smelt familiar. With eyes still unwilling to open just yet she buried her face in deeper and took another deep breath sighing happily, whatever it is I like it she thought.

There was a small chuckle above her, waking her from her sleepy dream like daze. Then the feeling of movement beneath her.

"I never took you for a hugger Jane," the Dr's fingers danced down the expanse of her bare arm as lips were pressed into her thick dark locks.

Feeling the body half laid over her stiffen, Maura instantly regretted her words. This was Jane after all, she new by the way her body had tensed that she was going into flight or fight mode. Knowing the detective the way she did, she had thought that it would be flight. I mean this was still relatively new for Jane, it was new for her as well, but she'd had two whole weeks to reflect and admit her true feelings for Jane went further than friendship, as far as she knew Jane hadn't harboured any feelings for her other than friendship, although judging from last nights lovemaking Jane did actually have the same feelings as her, but knew that Jane being Jane she would need time to adjust.

Maura had woken a half hour before, with a feeling of heaviness baring down on her left side it had disorientated her. Usually her bed guests didn't stay over, but this was Jane. It was her arm wrapped tightly around her ribs, her breath blowing steadily over her chest making her very aware of where Jane's leg was bent up and draped casually over her thigh. It had taken her all her strength to not push the stray strands of hair out of Jane's face, because she feared if she did then it would wake her and she would bolt and then they wouldn't get to talk about last night. This thought made her see flashes of Jane moving above her, bodies rocking together, lips travelling over new ground. The thought made her core ache. Who would have thought it?. Jane, her Jane had all that passion hidden inside. Her cheeks flushed as she thought about how easily she came at Jane's touch. How very little words had been used. Jane was all power and determination, just the same as she was in her job. It was quite the turn on to have been taken against the wall, lips and teeth dragging over her bare skin. The flood of arousal to her core made her eyes close, she couldn't remember the last time a man had made her feel this way, yes she loved having sex with men, but there was something so sensual about having Jane under her finger tips, the curve of her hips, that soft skin, those abs that where hidden under the white vest top... Mmm god and her body rocking and sliding against her own. No she wanted this, she would make Jane stay, she wasn't sure how yet, but Jane would be hers.

One eye cracked open widely at the sound of the voice, blinking a few times to shake the sleep away. The first thing it focused on, being the milky mound of a perfect breast inches from her nose. Blinking again she felt the soft cool breeze on her shoulder and realised it was Maura's breath, the warmth under her being Maura's body... MAURA shit..everything of the previous evening rushed back to her and instant panic began to seep into every recess of her mind..Maura, I'm in bed with Maura, my friend Maura.

Her head shot up as fingers danced down her spine, nails trailing lower and lips kissing more firmly in to her untamely locks

"Morning Jane, did you sleep well?,"

Jane laid there frozen, this is awkward. What do I say to my friend the morning after the best night of sex I've ever had?. I can't do this. I have to go, just go, tell her Jo needs walking or I'm not sure if I switched the gas off last night. Jesus anything, use your words Rizzoli, but Maura had sounded so casual, normal, almost like it wasn't a big deal. Taking a chance she lifted her face and blinked again. Sleepy eyes looking directly into hazel. My god she's beautiful...blinking again a small smirk touched her lips. She was in bed with Maura Isles, the woman was a catch by anyone's standards, but she Jane Rizzoli was in her bed, in her arms, looking at her lips moving...shit she's talking to me.

"Are you always this far gone when you wake Jane?, you never heard a word I said then did you?," she brushed the hair away from her eyes, her own sparkling with mirth as she watched the micro expressions dance across Jane's features. The way her eyes where drawn down to her mouth, the way her tongue flicked out to wet her lips every time they glanced there. Jane was interested in her, her face did not lie.

"If you want me to listen and respond I need caffine!," she smiled as Maura nodded her understanding, she of all people knew that Jane needed a strong coffee to shake the sleep away first thing.

"So.." Maura began looking down at brown eyes

The panic returned as she watched Maura taking her in, she wasn't ready for this, she needed to do her usual thing and get out...quickly, preferably before Maura could say anything else, she needed to think about this, this is a big step, friends to lovers, does this mean we're a couple, oh my god I'll have to tell Ma, the guys at the precinct will have a field day. Gayzoli... oh great I can hear them all sniggering behind my back... Focusing again on Maura's face she saw that she was about to start talking and jumped in quickly.

"So..let's have coffee, I'll go out and get some. Jo will need to go out now any ways. Better still, I could bring one into work for you." Jane said rolling away from her effectively cutting off any further talk. This was not a conversation she was ready for, she began to doubt that she would ever be ready for it. Leaning over the bed she picked her vest top off the floor, seeing her pants and panties near by still in a crumpled heap, she grabbed them pulling them over her feet as she stood, jumping and sliding them all the way up. Hoping that Maura would be looking the other way as she took out her phone to check for messages.

Maura unlike Jane had no qualms about being naked and promptly stood walking nude towards her en-suite. "I knew you'd do this," the anger and hurt she felt just touching the surface. "You know what Jane?," allowing the hurt in her eyes to show as she became level with her. "I thought you'd feel differently about me, I thought last night would mean as much to you as it did me, but I was wrong, wasn't I?," watching for Jane's reaction she knew she'd have to goad her a little more. "You're a coward, you let your brain rule over your heart. I know you want me, I see it in your eyes, but like I said. You're a coward. See yourself out Jane. I'll see you at work."

Jane stared at the closed door. What the hell just happened?, she never expected Maura to react that way. Falling down to the bed she sat on the edge. Maura was hurt, she'd hurt her because she did what she always did in difficult situations, which was avoid. Sighing she stood and headed for the door, her hand gripping the door handle, bending it down listening to the click as it opened. Jane Rizzoli's no coward. Glancing to the en-suite door she heard the spray of the water and closed her eyes, she could picture Maura standing there, with her head tipped back, letting the water hit her face, then lowering her head and letting it run down her body. I'm no coward, don't run from this, you want her, you've always wanted her and last night was amazing, she thought. Closing her eyes she pulled the vest back over her head and pushed the pants and panties down, flicking them from her feet as she entered the steamy room. I'm no coward, was the last thought going through her head as she pushed the door closed again.

As predicted Maura was facing away from her, her head tipped forward letting the spray roll over it and run down over her shoulders and back. Her long hair even longer now the water was running over it. Taking a moment to stare at her through the glass partitioning, Jane swallowed, there was that smell again, soft subtle tones of flowers and a hint of berries. It was Maura, it was her smell. Taking a bold step forward she opened the screen door, pleased that Maura hadn't heard her as she stepped in behind. The spray covering her front and running down her body as it bounced off Maura's perfect skin. Sliding her fingers slowly up the outside of the Dr's thighs had made her jump slightly. However, the lips pressing into her shoulder as a tongue flicked out to lick up to an ear pulled a moan from Maura's lips.

"Mmm...Maura you ever had shower sex?." Without waiting for an answer, she slid her left hand to cup against the blondes core, grazing her teeth across her earlobe tugging lightly, as her middle finger parted through her folds to press against the bundle of nerves, not moving it, just listening to Maura's gasps as she pushed her body back and forth, trying to get Jane's long fingers to move.

"If I say yes, will you stop?," she had a playful tone as she tilted her head to the side, letting Jane's teeth and tongue continue to graze up and down her neck. Moaning softly as Jane's right hand moved up to cup her breast.

Jane chuckled against her neck. "No Maura, I wont stop," smiling again as she continued to hold her breast, letting the weight fall against her palm as she teased the nipple with her thumb, moaning against her neck as she gave a squeeze and slowly started to rub against her.

"I'm no coward." The words died as Maura turned her head, smiling up into soft dark eyes, her hand reaching back to cup Jane's face. "I know Jane, but you are competitive and I needed to say something so you'd stay and fight for us," she gave her another smile, making her dimples pop out and eyes sparkle. "If it makes you feel better Jane, I broke out in hives saying it."

Jane laughed louder and held her tight for a second. "Actually that does make me feel better," she teased as her leg pushed between Maura's to open them more. "Mmm, you know even with the water cascading over you I can feel how wet you are." Sliding further down, she circled her entrance, taking more of her essence and sliding back to her clit.

Maura groaned at the sensations Jane was causing in her, she could feel Jane's pert breasts rubbing against her back as she rocked against her. The feel of Jane's lithe body pressing into her own, as her long fingers continued their task, had her already dancing close to the edge.

Jane kissed across her shoulder to the other side, brushing blonde hair out of the way as she trailed her fingers down her spine, the water making it feel even softer than she had remembered from last night, her left hand gaining speed, as she bit down on her shoulder, soothing it with a flick of her tongue, then sucking hard to leave a mark, knowing that it would be covered away from any ones eyes but her own. Open mouthed kisses began as Maura's head turned to her. For a few moments their kiss dominated everything, Jane's movements stopped as she lost herself in Maura, licking across her lip she turned her around and held her against the tiles, her full body pressing and grinding against her.

Maura bent her knee up allowing Jane to straddle over it, her slow grind building on a toned thigh. Their eyes holding contact, as Jane's wet hot heat slid over silky skin. Breasts rubbing against each others. Jane's head lowered and her breath washed over Maura's neck making her shiver as they both began to move with more purpose.

The noise was faint at first, Jane stopped momentarily her head rolling to the side as Maura's nails dragged down her back and her lips found her jaw..."Jane, no, don't answer it, let it ring just for a second..I'm so close."

Nodding her head her hand moved quicker. The thigh between her legs providing just the right amount of pressure she needed to get her closer to her goal. The noise started again making her look down into hazel eyes, the unsaid apology already showing in her eyes. "I have to Maura, it could be a case."

"I know, it's okay, go and answer it." Maura leaned back against the tiles as Jane's body moved away and a small kiss was placed to her cheek, she watched Jane wrap a towel around herself and leave the en-suite, the moment Jane answered as Rizzoli she knew it was a case and slowly slid her hand down to finish what had been started.

"I have to go," Jane said walking back in fully dressed. Her mouth opening at the sight of Maura pleasuring herself. "God Maur, I'm so sorry. I have a case. Rain check." Her eyes drawn down to the hand that was slowly moving over her core. That has to be the hottest thing I've ever seen. "I'll call you later." She shook away the thoughts of jumping in fully clothed to take over again and instead offered an apologetic smile and left quickly.

"Okay, so who's the guy?," Frost asked as he took the coffee from Jane. "I mean the last time you smiled like that was when Casey was around. Is he back?."

"No, what?, why does my smiling mean it has to be a guy?," she gave him a playful shove and sat at her desk. Her thoughts instantly turning to Maura, making her face colour slightly. Hold it together he doesn't know anything

Frosts studied her for a moment and let it go. "Sorry we called you in unnecessarily Jane," he said as he watched her fumble in her pocket for her phone

"It's fine, I was only at Maura's," she said casually looking at him briefly to see if he had picked up on anything, then began her text.

Hey you, sorry I had to rush off. Are you ok?. J x

The answer came back quickly

No

Jane stared at the screen, she knew that Maura was upset when she left but it was unlike her to be so short with her answers. So decided to text her again

I said I'm sorry Maura, it was a case. J x

Sorry. I know it was a case, I'm just frustrated again. I'm in my office now. M x

Jane glanced over to Frost, noticing he was already typing up the report. It had all been cleared up by the time she'd got to the scene, he had told her to go back to whatever she had been doing, but she had decided to stay at work.

Frustrated because I left you all sexified?. J x

No, I couldn't climax again and this ache will not subside. Oh and by the way sexified is not a real word Jane. M x

Jane smiled and began typing out her next text

Anything I can do to help?. J x

Yes, come down and finish what you started! x

Jane laughed and waved a dismissing hand to Frost as he looked her way

Here at work?...I don't think I can x

No, you're right YOU probably can't Maura chuckled to herself, if she knew Jane the way she thought she did, she would take that as a challenge

Jane frowned as she typed out the next text what does that mean?

It means Jane that someone like you wouldn't be that adventurous her trap was already working

Jane looked over at Frost, "are you okay for a while, I need to see Maura about something," she smiled as he waved his hand. "Go, I've got this covered." Grabbing her jacket from the back of her chair and swinging it around her shoulder in a well practised move she punched the down button, rolling back and forth on her heels as the nerves began to kick in. I can't believe I'm actually thinking of doing this, but Maura said I'm not adventurous, I'm adventurous damn it. Time to prove her wrong.

Really you think I'm dull she text back, smiling when she heard the ping of Maura's phone coming from in her office.

Standing in the doorway she watched Maura from behind as she typed out her next text. The dress she had on clinging to every curve of her body like it was moulded especially for her.

I wouldn't say you was dull Maura heard the ping come from behind her and turned just in time to see Jane close the door and lock it, her eyes following her as she pulled the cord of the blind effectively closing them away from the outside world.

Leaning back on the desk Maura watched her walk forward, a small smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. "So, where were we." Jane asked as she stepped up close, her hands resting on the Dr's hips as she bent her head down to place a kiss to her lips. Maura took Jane's hand, smiling against her lips as she slid it up the inside of her thigh till it reached her apex. "I believe we had gotten to this stage," a dimpled grin met her eyes as she pulled the panties to the side and drew the fingers through the wet heat of Maura's core. Their mouths meeting with force as her fingers slid inside her entrance briefly then travelled up to her clit, circling and sliding over and around. Maura's head rolling back allowing Jane to kiss up her throat and across her jaw line.

The loud ring made Maura groan and Jane chuckle against her neck. "Oh my god Maur'. I'm so sorry," she reached for her phone, pulling back as she answered. "Rizzoli." Her eyes apologising again as Maura's phone rang from behind her. "Isles." she tried not to moan as Jane removed her fingers and sucked on them. "What's that word, the ones guys use when they get stopped from taking on sexual activities," Maura asked as she ran her fingers through her hair, a small frown already forming on her face.

Jane laughed. "Do you mean cock blocked," her eyebrows raised as she watched her friend readjust her underwear and flatten down the wrinkles in her dress

"Yes, I do. I'm being cock blocked. This is twice now Jane."

Her pout and furrowed brow made Jane step forward, taking her in her arms as she kissed her softly and pulled away, her hand cupping a soft cheek as she gazed down at her. "I'll make it up to you after work okay," she smiled as hazel eyes gazed back, and lips met with a little more force.

Maura sank into her embrace as the kiss deepened then slowed and came to a natural stop. "I'm going to hold you to that detective," she said breathlessly. Her eyes following her detective as she left the room.

The day had dragged on. A new case, a new body, both of these factors had kept them together but apart for most of the day as they were never alone. Kicking off her boots and ruffling Jo's hair Jane was startled by the knocking on her door. It was after 9 pm so it was late for visitors to be calling. Looking through the spy hole she saw Maura the other side smoothing down her dress and then putting her fingers through her hair. Jesus..."Just a minute,"she shouted as she grabbed piles of clothes and discarded them into the cupboard. Looking around at the empty food cartons from the previous night she scooped them all into the trash. With a quick peek into the bedroom she knew the bed wasn't made, she'd left it the night before as she raced to Maura's. Right bedrooms off limits unless I can go in there and tidy if she uses the bathroom.

"Jane, there's no need to tidy up. Please just open the door." She knew Jane well enough to know that there would be a mess everywhere and to be quite frank she hadn't gone there to look at the state of the room.

Scanning around again she headed to the door, picking up and hiding items as she passed. "I'm coming," Opening it she was met by a hand pressing into the centre of her chest and a flash of intense hazel eyes before lips began attacking hers as Maura pushed her backwards, her arm fumbling back to close the front door as she continued to kiss and unbuckle the detectives belt with one hand.

"God Jane," Maura breathed out against her neck as she began to suck and kiss. "All day..." her tongue snaked out dragging up to her ear where she latched on with her teeth and tugged slightly. Her breathless voice starting again. "All I could think about was you." Pulling away she pushed Jane backwards on to the sofa. Watching as her detective fell back landing flat and looking back with lust filled eyes. Her nimble fingers having already loosened the belt began to pull down the zip and pop open the button, sliding them over hips and pulling them down with the assistance of Jane lifting up till she discarded them behind her across the room

Jane swallowed as Maura lifted her dress and straddled her centre, closing her eyes when she realised Maura was not wearing any underwear. Dexterous fingers began undoing the button down shirt from the bottom up, pushing it and her vest up and kissing across the skin she was revealing before curling her fists into the fabric on her collar and lifting her to a sitting position. Kissing briefly as she pulled them up and over Jane's head. "I've been wanting you all day Jane," lips attached to a prominent collar bone making Jane's head roll backwards and groan as teeth dragged across it. "Do you know how frustrating it has been to see you all day and not be able to touch you?."

Groaning out her yes, Jane held the Dr's hips bunching up the fabric and sliding it up. Her hands slowly dragging over bare skin as she pulled back and lifted it up. Looking at Maura and asking silently with her eyes as to what she should do with the dress now it was off. Maura smiled and threw it behind her to land next to Jane's her hands tangling in thick dark hair as she crashed their lips together once more and began to move her hips to roll against Jane's taught stomach. "Mmm god Maur' you're so wet." her hands slid down to the Dr's pert ass squeezing and pulling her firmer against her body, their lips meeting again as Maura pushed her to lay down. Her hand pressing to the centre of Jane's chest as she rolled her hips to a slow rhythm. Jane raised her own hips to every roll of Maura's. Moving her left hand she dragged it down the outside of Maura's thigh, fingers digging in and kneading the muscle then sliding up the inside of her thigh between them.

Maura murmured as Jane's long fingers curled against her, hitting the spot where the continuous ache had been all day. "Oh god yes, please Jane don't stop...don't stop," her body moved faster against the digits as two slipped inside and a thumb slid over and around her clit.

Jane looked on in awe at the way the Dr was moving above her, the way her eyes had closed and her teeth were chewing against her lip. The bounce of her breast as her thigh muscles flexed and strained with every hip roll.

Jane froze, eyes wide as she heard the voice first. No, no, no, this can't be happening, please god no. But there was no mistaking that voice.

"Maura, what are you doing here?"

Maura's eyes opened widely, her flushed cheeks turning crimson as she looked briefly at Jane then turned her head to see where the voice had come from. Luckily the position of the sofa had obstructed most of her view. "Ang...Angela...er...hello," frantic eyes searched out Jane's as she covered her breasts with her hands. "I was just..." she didn't know how to finish that sentence as Angela stood open mouthed in the doorway.

"Where's Jane?, why are you naked on her sofa?"

Jane began to laugh, just a chuckle at first, she hadn't been caught out before, it felt like she was a teenager again, but the look she had imagined on her mothers face, then looking up at a flustered naked Dr had just tickled her. "Ma," she said still laughing as she sat up and wrapped Maura in an embrace that covered her breasts. "How many times do I have to tell you?, the key is for emergencies only!."

Angela stood stock still, her mouth opening and closing, as she stared between Jane and the back of Maura's head. Blinking at the sight then smiling as it started to sink in.

"Yes Ma, you'll be pleased to know I am officially dating a Dr." She nudged Maura's head with her shoulder so she'd lift it away from the place where it had buried into her neck. Eyes smiling as Maura's shocked look met hers

"Do you mean that Jane, we're officially dating?," her uncertain eyes fell upon Jane's scanning her features

Stroking down her cheek she placed a kiss to her lips her head nodding as she pulled away. "Yes Maura. I mean it"

Their heads both turned as Angela let out an excited squeal and started to walk over to them. "You wait till I tell everyone my Janie's dating a Dr." Her hands clapped together in glee as she took another step forward.

"NO," They both said at the same time. Jane held up her hands to stop Angela's progress. "Ma, we're naked here."

Angela stopped and smiled again, walking backwards as she spoke. "You two carry on, ah you're kids will be so intelligent."

"Ma." Jane said throwing a cushion at her. "Go." She smiled as she watched her Ma wave and leave. Then felt Maura bury her face into her neck again and stroke up and down her spine. "So... Dr Isles, where were we?." Her hands reached up and cupped Maura's head, pulling it back so they were eye to eye. "You okay Maura?." Her eyes scanned her face briefly as her thumb rubbed over her lip and she leaned in for a kiss

"Yes Jane, I am." Pushing herself up and away from Jane she stood and offered out her hand. Smiling as Jane accepted and stood next to her. Their shoulders bumping as they headed to the bedroom

"It's a bit of a mess in there," Jane said as her hand reached the door knob to her bedroom

Maura smiled turning and walking in backwards pulling Jane along with her. "I'm not interested in the state of the room Jane. I'm interested in seeing how flexible you are. By my count we still have at least six positions left to try. Unless you don't think you can go six times tonight?" her eyes twinkled brightly at the challenge she knew she had just set and a squeal left her mouth as Jane picked her up in her arms and deposited her on the bed, shuffling backwards as Jane teasingly started to do a few warm up stretches at the end of the bed

"Bring it on Maura," she said as she crawled her way up Maura's body. "As you're well aware, I do love a challenge."

The end
