The women put in 40 hours of over time in one week and decided it was time for a vacation. Their relationship was new, it was lustful, it was… to say the least….hot.

Jane and Maura wanted more time with each other however, and the secretive grope filled affairs during lunch breaks, quickies before parting ways at night, and the back seat of Jane's take home, although exciting and fun, was starting to wear thin on both women's nerves.

It was 3 days before Thanksgiving and the first night of Jane and Maura's official 'vacation'. They turned off their cell phones, placed them in Jane's dresser drawer and crawled into bed. They decided they would just sleep tonight, as they were both exhausted and succumbed to slumber easier than they both thought possible.

Neither woman was quite sure of the hour when they were jolted out of bed by a loud knock at the front door. Jane was the first to spring up, clad in a tank top and gray sweat pants. Although half asleep, she instinctually managed to grab her gun from the night stand and quickly glance at the alarm clock. It glared a fierce 5:32 am.

"Jane….what's going on?" The doctor whispered in a concerned tone.

"Stay here Maura….I'm not sure who the hell is at my door this early, but they better have a damn good reason for Christ sake…."

Maura now wide eyed, sat up and drew her knees to her chest, peeking over the top of the Egyptian cotton sheets she had given Jane for her birthday recently.

The detective shuffled lightly to the door and peered through the peep hole, holding her gun at the low ready. Letting go a loud sigh, she relaxed her tense, rigid shoulders, and rolled her sleepy, squinty eyes as she threw the hallway light on.

Jane slowly opened the door and as it creaked, she felt her gut churn as she saw the uniformed officer standing before her. She recognized the cherubic young man as her younger brother's best childhood friend. Robbie Boland looked gaunt and worn out. His eyes were bloodshot, puffy and wet, as if he had been crying.

Jane instantly became terrified "Oh God no…no, no, no…Robbie…don't you tell me something happened to Frankie!"

The blond haired, blue eyed cop looked stunned as he struggled for the right words.

"Oh man…no Jane….I…I'm sorry…Frankie is fine, absolutely perfect…it's me…I didn't know where else to go…your phone went straight to voice mail….and I can't go home to my wife looking like this….I…"

The young rookie's bottom lip began to quiver and the tears spilled from his eyes and down on to his sullen cheeks. Jane pulled him inside with one solid tug and Maura, who now stood in the open bedroom door frame, smiled as she watched her girlfriend do what she does best. Make people who are deserving of her time, feel better.

Jane places her gun on the kitchen counter and reaches up cradling the young man's cheek, wiping a tear with her thumb.

"Shhh…sh…sh…sh…Robbie it's ok hon, what the fuck happened?" Jane sat across the kitchen table from the cop, reached her hand out and rubbed the kid's forearm. She tilted her head to the side, lightened her stare at the pitiful sight before her, and looked past his right shoulder at Maura, who stood silently in awe.

"Janey I'm not cuttin' it…I…I feel like a total failure. I've never felt so…so retarded in my whole life as I did tonight. I don't think I can go back to the precinct without being looked at like the biggest pussy ever…."

Concerned and confused Jane just stared at the young officer. She contemplated her next move and decided on cheesy humor. It usually works with most guys, unless they're Jorge of course, in order to break through the uncomfortableness.

"Are you going to make me beat it out of you or what?" Jane pulled the corners of her mouth up in an attempt to make the young man laugh, and it worked….a little.

"I'm sorry Janey…I couldn't go to Frankie, and my wife…she's sleeping, the baby just started getting a solid 7 hours in….and…"

"You listen to me ok? Even if you weren't a BlueBlood, I'd still sit here till God knows what time of the day with you….now lets' go…tell me what happened".

The detective had a way about her; although forward and to the point, Jane always managed to handle herself with an air of compassion and class. She was never judgmental and this was the main reason she presumed the guys would always spill their guts to her.

Jane glanced at Maura and nodded slightly at the doctor. The smaller woman entered the kitchen wearing Jane's Homicide sweat shirt and a pair of yoga pants. Her hair was thrown into a messy bun which sat on top of her head and she yawned as she rubbed the much needed sleep from her eyes.

Maura smiled sweetly at the young cop as she passed him to get to the coffee pot which sat on the counter in a corner behind him. The doctor fixed a fresh brew and lightly patted the officer's shoulder as she passed him again, this time seating herself next to Jane at the table.

The rookie looked on like a deer in head lights "Dr. Isles…I..uh, did I miss something? You girls having a sleep over or…oh holy crap…wait…you two…wow…I had no idea…"

The young man's face blushed somewhere between a deep crimson and a light purple hue.

With her signature teethy grin, Maura very matter of fact, filled in the blanks for the young cop.

"Yes Robert…Jane and I have been involved in a sexual relationship for the last three months…."

Jane closed her eyes and shook her head "Why Thank You Dr. Ruth…I'm pretty sure Robbie doesn't want to hear about our…our thing".

The detective loosely threw her hand in the air, making small circles above her head and the rookie chuckled.

Both women drew their attention back to the young man and with non-biased hearts, encouraged him to continue on with his confession, so to speak.

The young man hangs his head in shame.

"It's just been one of those weeks you know? Anything and everything that could've gone wrong did. Today is my Friday and all I wanted to do was go home and enjoy my four days off. Last call of the morning….this dog gets waffled by a car…I'm the closest unit…and when I get there, this poor thing is bleeding all over the place and just…just struggling to live. I knew it was hurt bad and that it's injuries were probably too severe to survive. I couldn't stand there and watch it suffer…I….I unholstered my gun…a couple other guys got there and I…I shot him. I told it how sorry I was, that I was just trying to help it…they laughed at me Janey…cuttin' up on me because I started cryin'. They called me a fag….a thumb sucker…a weak little whimp…I was just tryin' to do the right thing….now I'm a fucking laughing stock".

Jane got up from her chair and wrapped her arms around the young man, kissing the top of his head.

"You're no laughing stock Robbie…you have a heart…a big one, and that's a good thing. You haven't become jaded yet and to be honest with you, I know I've got more sympathy and compassion for animals than I do humans….I can thank Korsak for that…"

Maura tried to help by offering her version of the 'It will be ok' speech via brainiac version.

"You know, early psychiatrists have said that showing emotions during times of high stress can actually increase the production of serotonin in the brain, making the etiological response to depression a rather therapeutic one".

Jane glared at Maura with an arched eyebrow and Robbie scratched his head in an attempt to digest what the doctor said.

"Um…thanks?...I think?" The young cop laughs and Jane can't help but giggle.

"Thanks Jane….I'm really glad I stopped by…I'm sorry for waking you ladies up. It means more than you know, you lettin' me in and all…"

"Hey…don't ever apologize for getting things off your chest. I'm always here…we both are…"

Jane lovingly looked at Maura, who in turn bit her bottom lip.

"I guess I should get going…Erin is gonna wonder where I've been for the last hour…I don't want her to worry…oh hey, do you mind if I get a cup of that jo' to go?"

"Of course!"

Maura hops up and grabs a mug from the overhead cabinet. Jane smiles as she watches the petite woman flex to her tippy toes to reach for a travel mug. The doctor pours the rookie a steaming container full of Columbian goodness.

"You know where to find me to return this…." She hands the young man the mug with a nod and a smile.

"Thank you Dr. Isles…."

"Please…do call me Maura…"

Robbie kisses Jane on the cheek and Maura patted his back.

"Thanks again you two….um…by the way…please don't tell any of the guys I was here".

Jane looks at Maura "We will take it to the grave…um..yeah, not like…er nevermind".

"Jane!..." Maura's mouth is agape and she swats at Jane's arm.

"Well, so much for being on vacation….they flock to me like a fly on sh.."

Jane stopped short of saying the 'S' word. She knew Maura still has the profanity meter ticking away, and she was really hoping for a morning roll in the hay…ok well comforter.

Jane crept closer to the doctor and slinked behind her. She wrapped her arms around the shorter blond and slowly moved her hands under the bulky sweat shirt. She could feel how hard Maura's nipples were and pinched the supple flesh between her fingers; teasing the nubs further into errection.

A wave of heat shot straight to Jane's groin and she started to salivate. The doctor never turned around but didn't shoo the detective away either. This excited Jane even further. She pushed herself against Maura's backside, feeling her firm, athletic ass, and realized there were no under wear lining the thin black yoga pants.

Jane exhaled deeply along Maura's neck and she could feel the woman's skin prickle. Maura struggled to keep her breathing under control.

Jane liked this game and found it interesting that Maura kept her back to her. The detective grabbed at the stretchy material that clung to Maura's skin. She tugged and yanked, eventually managing to get them around the doctor's ankles. Jane knelt on the kitchen floor and stared up at the half naked woman before her.

"Turn around…." Jane growled in her best come hither tone.

Slowly, the doctor turned around and looked down at the detective on her knees. She so badly wanted to feel Jane sink her tongue between her legs and lick her into orgasm, but she felt punishing them both for the moment, would make their next encounter just that much more explosive and epic.

Maura wagged her finger in front of the detective's face and kept as stoic of a stare as possible letting Jane know she meant business.

Confused and beginning to panic a little, Jane tilts her head to the side.

"What's the matter baby…don't you want me to…"

Maura placed a finger horizontal to Jane's lips.

"No Jane….you remember the little game we have going don't you?"

Like a child about to have a temper tantrum, Jane gloats…

"But Maura, I DIDN'T curse…at all…I swear…you were here the whole time! What the…?"

Maura, still standing with her pants around her ankles bends to pick them up and pulls them back into place.

"Yes you did Jane….earlier, when Robbie was here….you asked him 'What the eff happened'….."

"Are you serious? Oh…c'mon Maura! That's…that's ridiculous!"

Maura roars with laughter "A bet's a bet Jane…and I'm sorry but, you broke the bet and threw the ball…"

"It's DROPPED the ball and that's….well, that's just cheesy Maura…."

Like a wounded animal about to run off and lick it's wounds, Jane stands to her feet and can feel her sex burn.

"Maura, I'm a little….ok A LOT turned on right now…can't you just forgive me this one time and we can start over like tomorrow or something?"

"No Jane…a bet is a bet and you are now one day down with no sex".

Jane's nostrils flare and she puffs her cheeks in frustration.

Still smiling, Maura points to the bathroom.

"Go….go Jane now….take a cold shower and I'll have breakfast ready for you when you come out".

"I don't want BREAKFAST I want you…."

"Well, you Detective Rizzoli are acting like a sore loser and YOU are not going to get your way…"

"FINE!"

Jane storms off for the bathroom, but not before stealing a kiss from Maura.

The detective grumbles "I love you….you're no fair, but I still love ya".

Jane turns to look at Maura and winks before heading into the bathroom.

"This is gonna suck…"

TBC…..
