OMG Its been soooooooo long! I'm so sorry but I blame it on having to start a second job and for lack of creativity.

Anyway, here's chapter 8. Hope it was worth the wait

R&I

Antsy.

Antsy was the exact word Maura could use to describe her exact emotional state right now. It was to the point Misha passed over her fidget cube, an hour ago, to help settle the other nurse. "Gurl, you just have 30 more minutes in this seminar and then you can take the car. You can and will make it though."

"We're going riding today and I'm just so excited to get out there and see Jane. I don't care about this damn Da Vinci Robot right now." She whispered back to her best friend, flipping the switch panel on one side of the cube excessively. If Misha hadn't given her the toy there was no telling what Isles would be doing to settle herself at the moment. Perhaps she would have already bolted.

Thirty one minutes passed and Misha stood up with her friend, "Okay, you're free! Run!" The woman laughed at the sight of Maura gathering her purse and speeding through the escaping crowd of nurses. "Oh that girl's got it bad."

Oh the sight of that bull rider in her black tank, ripped jeans, boots and gloves while carrying a large bag of feed through the yard made Maura stop the car suddenly.

Jane watched Maura open the door quickly and practically sprint towards her. Setting the bag down on the ground, Rizzoli caught the nurse in her arms. The blonde wrapping her arms and legs around the ranch hand. "Well howdy to ya, too."

Holding on for a bit longer, Isles finally hopped down but brought the woman in for a kiss. "I hate seminars." was all she whispered against her lips before going back in.

"Mm well if they make you greet me like this every time then I can't really say the same thing." Rizzoli chuckled before stepping back and picking the feed back up. "I got a couple things to do before we ride, is that okay?"

"Of course. I'm just happy to be here. Would you like any help?" the question came forth as she followed Jane toward the barn.

"Yeah, if you'd like ya can brush down Belle and Apollo for me, while I muck out their stalls."

Working as a team made the chores go by a bit quicker than usual. Jane took Maura out to the dirt road that led them to the wide open land. There was nothing but green grass and sparse hardwood trees that offered shade for the horses that were let out into the huge pasture.

"I know ya not used to being in the saddle, so we'll go nice and slow. Besides, it'll give me more time with ya." Jane flashed a smile toward her love interest then remembered she had news to share, "Oh so do ya remember Raphael Martinez?" With Maura's nod, she continued, "Well, he's now an official sponsor. I've got chaps 'n gloves on the way." She grinned. "Not to mention a new patch to add to my vest."

"Jane, that's wonderful! Seems like your dreams may be coming true sooner than you thought."

"I hope so. Hopefully I can handle it all. The pressure can either make or break a rider."

"If I have learned anything about you, it's that you are tough. I mean you literally grabbed the bull by the horns!" The nurse laughed. "You are nothing short of awesome."

Rizzoli leaned over silently in her saddle and was able to kiss the blonde sitting on the other horse. "Thank you." Pulling back she watched the woman for a moment, "If ya didn't have someone to get back to in Boston, I wouldn't let you go. I'd keep ya right here." She paused for a moment, "I-I know I don't know ya very well but I've never been happier with anyone else 'n I've never looked forward to seeing or even talking to anyone else. Don't ya just wanna get Emma and move down here? The hospital we have could use a nurse like you."

Isles reached over and took Jane's hand, "I sure wish I could leave Massachusetts behind but with the custody agreement I can't leave, not with Emma." She sighed and looked away, "I can visit other states with her but I'll never be able to move, not for another 12 years."

"I understand. I just- I really hope you and I keep in touch. Visit once in awhile, ya know?"

"Jane, you have imprinted on my heart. I don't think I could go back to Boston and not long to be here. You've opened my eyes to so many things in just a few days. Leaving will be one of the hardest things I'll ever do, I believe. But I promise you that I will keep in touch."

"I'll hold ya to it."

R&I

"C'mere." Jane said after releasing Apollo and Belle into the smaller pasture to graze once they were untacked. Leading Maura around the back of the barn she gestured up the tall ladder. "Go all the way up to the roof. I'll be right behind ya."

"Um, we're going to the roof? Isn't that dangerous? Actually why did I even ask that question, know it's dangerous. Falls from roofs account for one-third of construction fatalities"

"Well its a damned good thing we aren't construction workers then." Rizzoli laughed and popped her ass, "Get up there. I won't let anything happen to ya."

Once fears were conquered, Maura laid on her back next to Jane on the not-so-steep roof top. They were elevated just enough to lay down and watch the sun set over the rolling hills of the family land.

"After tonight we only have 6 days left together. I want to use that time wisely, of course in between your seminars."

The blonde connected their hands and laced their fingers. "I promise to spend as much time as possible with you, Jane. I don't want to leave regretting that I missed any chance to be with you."

Rolling to her side, the bull rider cupped Maura's cheek and kissed her slow and deep. A simple moan from the woman and her hand started to travel. Cupping a breast, she kneaded it and played with a taunting bud under the soft fabric. Breath became more rigid between the two women to the point Rizzoli's lips started kissing and sucking on a fair neck; leaving her mark.

That feeling was coming back again. Antsy. As well as horny.

"J-Jane…"

Thinking she had over stepped, the brunette pulled back and looked down at the woman with worried brows.

As if to calm that fear, Isles took Jane's hand and slid it down her torso, "Please… touch me."

With a smile, she undid Maura's jeans and snaked her hand inside the woman's pants but still over her panties. Fingers dipped down low and felt the warmth, she flicked over her core teasingly. This elicited a frustrated moan, "Pleeease!"

That did it. Lips crashed down upon lips and a hand sauntered below the last barricade and rubbed against a hard clit, circling it. Those same fingers plunged into the depths of the wetness she had created, thrusting and curling against her sensitive place. "Oh Jaaaane!"

The rider had very skilled fingers and knew exactly how to operate them in situations like this one.

It didn't take long for the blonde to come completely undone. Pulling back, panting, Jane looked the nurse over. "Damn… I could listen to my name come from your lips like that all night long."

Laughing softly she pushed Jane's shoulder, "Shut up."

"How about we get down from here, once ya can feel your legs again, and ya stay the night? Though we should stay in the barn loft. I have a feeling you'll be a bit loud for the house tonight." Jane finished with a wink.

"I have a feeling the horses won't get a good night's rest."

Holy shit I'm not dead!

Reviews keep my alive, fyi ;)
