Maura followed Jane into the small apartment, deciding to change locations due to the unknown arrival time of a "certain" house guest. Jane took their coats and hung them on the rack, pet her ever energetic dog, and moved into the kitchen to pull out two mugs. Maura followed closely behind, but stood at the other end of Jane's kitchen to watch her girlfriend work.
"I figured we could use some hot chocolate," Jane said, retrieving the milk from her fridge, and placing it in the mug.
"That sounds like a lovely idea," the ME replied, watching as Jane methodically heated the liquid. Jane reading her mind was nothing new, and it was something that she would never tire of, nor question.
Maura made her way to Jane's couch, and curled up into a blanket. The night air had gotten a lot chillier, and the short walk from the car to the door had made her body temperature very low. She sighed in contentment as she heard Jane's footsteps, and grinned her thank you as a mug was set into her hand. Maura lifted the blanket to let Jane underneath, and Maura leaned her head onto Jane's shoulder as they sat together on the couch.
It was a comfortable silence. Both were sipping steadily at their mugs, just relaxing in the heat their bodies' and the blanket provided. Maura finished her cup first, and set it gently on the coffee table in front of her. She returned her her previous spot on Jane's shoulder, only this tip, snaking her now free arms around Jane's middle. Jane finished off her cup and placed it next to Maura's and leaned back to hold the woman who was currently wrapped around her. She kissed the top of Maura's head, wishing she could stop time at this precise moment. She wondered if anything could be better than this. She sighed contentedly, and leaned her head on top of Maura's. The two sat in a comfortable silence again, neither wanting to blemish this perfect moment in their usually hectic and unpredictable lives. They both knew that tomorrow was their last day without interruptions, and hated for time to pass, knowing what they faced.
"Do we really have to go back to work, Jane?" Maura mumbled from against Jane's neck.
Jane chuckled softly, once again kissing the doctor's head. "Not if you don't want to honey, but I think we probably should. We still have tomorrow, honey. Don't worry just yet," Jane replied, realizing she and her lover were thinking about the same thing.
Maura pulled away from Jane's warmth slightly to look up into chocolate brown eyes that always seemed to see into her soul. She smiled softly, and moved to gently kiss Jane. Jane happily kissed Maura back, both keeping the kiss tender and sweet. Jane was stroking Maura's face with her thumb, and Maura was doing the same to Jane, both just simply staring at each other. Jane smiled, and rested her forehead against Maura's, simply taking in the presence of the woman before her. Maura moved to kiss Jane again, this time with a little more intent, but with just as much tenderness and passion as the last time. Jane remembered Maura saying she had plans for them tonight. She figured that she had meant in bed, and it thrilled Jane to think of Maura taking charge of the situation, when so far it had just been her pushing them forward.
Jane pulled away panting. "Bed?"
Maura simply nodded, as she and Jane stood up from the couch. Jane held Maura to her side, and draped the blanket around their shoulders. Maura smiled at the gesture, and walked the whole way to Jane's bedroom with her head on Jane's shoulder and her body held in Jane's embrace.
Jane turned on the heater on the way, which quickly began warming the apartment. By the time they reached her room, Maura was warm enough to toss the blanket onto Jane's dresser. Jane stood in the doorway and watched as Maura unzipped her dress and stepped out of it, leaving herself clad in only her bra and matching panties. Jane smirked when Maura just left it on the floor, not caring about the wrinkles like she usually would.
"Are you just going to stand there, or are you joining me?" Maura asked, as she turned around to look at the detective. Jane smiled and made her way into the room, shutting and locking the door behind her.
Jane quickly unzipped and stepped out of her own dress and tossed it on the floor next to Maura's. Maura smiled and reached her hand out to pull Jane to her. Maura kissed her slowly, letting Jane know that she was going to take her time tonight. Jane simply indulged in the wants of her beloved, as she was guided to sit on the edge of the bed.
Maura stood over her, and slowly removed her bra and panties, adding them to the pile of clothes behind her. Jane's eyes roamed up and down the naked form before her and silently thanked the heavens that she must have done SOMETHING right in her life to receive this amazing gift. Maura looked down at Jane, nudging her head in the general direction of her bra. Jane got the hint, and removed her last bit of clothing and added it to the pile, suddenly glad she had central heat. Maura straddled Jane's legs, and sat on Jane's lap, scooting her up a little so as to not fall off the bed.
Once the two started kissing tenderly, the rest of the world melted away and all that existed were Maura's lips on Jane's, and Jane's lips on Maura's. Maura pushed Jane onto her back, scooting their bodies more toward the center of the mattress, and gently caressed her face, never stopping her lips' movements.
When Maura needed air, she gently pulled away only to begin gently kissing down the side of Jane's jaw and down her neck. She moved to hover above Jane's mouth, waiting for Jane to open her eyes. When she finally did, her breath caught in her throat at the intense look of love Maura had in her eyes. Maura smiled, and gently kissed the woman below her with all she had, trying to convey every ounce of what she felt in that one kiss. When Maura broke away, Jane's eyes were misty and Maura noticed that Jane's expression matched her own. She smiled gently, and rested her body onto her elbows to kiss Jane again.
"Maura..." Jane squeezed out in between kisses.
"Hmm?" She replied, kiss Jane's ear.
"Make love to me, Maura." Maura jerked her head up at the request, and smiled sweetly, before resting her forehead against Jane's collarbone.
Jane could tell Maura was hesitant and didn't know why. "Hey... look at me. What is it?" When Maura's eyes finally met her own, the sudden sadness she saw made her heart break.
"Maura, talk to me, honey," she pleaded. Maura bit her lip, and then exhaled slowly, trying to regain her composure.
"No... I'm so embarrassed," she replied, her eyes averting Jane's.
"About what, honey? There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's just me. Come on, talk to me."
Maura took a deep breath and continued. "I don't know the difference, Jane."
Confused, Jane had to clarify. "The difference? What difference, sweetheart?"
Maura met her eyes and said, "Between sex and making love, Jane. I'd always heard there was a difference, but every time was always the same for me, until you. Then our first time, all of a sudden, I felt something different, and I didn't know what it was. I just felt... loved. I don't know how to do that, Jane.
Jane's heart broke at this new revelation. "You mean to tell me that no one other than me had made love to you, Maura?" Maura nodded shyly, ducking her head back onto Jane's collarbone. Jane gently stroked Maura's back.
"Hey, look at me." Maura lifted her head to meet Jane's eyes. "Don't be embarrassed. Frankly, I had never experience the difference myself. Seems like we both have bad guys skills. Want me to explain?" Maura nodded. Jane turned their bodies so that they were laying face to face.
"You love me, right?" Maura nodded, reaching her hand out to hold Jane's. Jane smiled and accepted the offer.
"And you know I love you, right?" Maura again nodded, and Jane smiled in response, gently squeezing the hand she held.
"And all those other guys, or girls, they didn't, not like this. Hmm?" Maura nodded again.
"When you were with them, they just wanted sex. They wanted your body for their own needs. I'm sure some of them were out to please you, but overall, they were selfish, right?" Maura nodded again, wondering how Jane knew all of this about her love life.
"And there's the difference Maura. Having sex is primal. It's about having needs and fulfilling them in whatever way possible. Making love is about pleasing the other person, and pleasing each other as a couple; a couple who really loves each other. It's about taking your time and just enjoying being together. It's about the experience, not just the end result. That make sense?" Once again, Maura nodded her understanding.
Jane smiled sweetly at the woman before her. "You think you're okay with all of that? You think you could try? Or do you want me to take over? I'd be more than happy to show you again... and again and..." Maura shook her head no, with a smirk, and Jane nodded.
"No. I want to do this Jane. You mean so much to me, and I want to show you..." Jane smiled tenderly, and reached forward to pull Maura's lips toward her.
She was soon being flipped over, and felt Maura's hands, lips, teeth, and tongue all over her body. Slowly, Maura worshiped and memorized every inch of Jane's body, slowly making her way to Jane's center and placing gentle kiss between her legs. Jane moaned quietly at the contact, already on edge from the sensations Maura's mouth and hands had been eliciting all over her body.
Maura gently nudged Jane's legs apart and again kissed the sensitive skins before bringing her hand up to stroke Jane's folds softly. Jane focused on her breathing so as to try to prevent bucking up into Maura. She wanted to take this slow just as bad as Maura did. But Maura's current teasing was making that task difficult.
"Maura..." Jane gasped. Maura looked up at Jane, who was using all of her self control to hold back and decided to plunge forward, literally. She inserted one finger into Jane, and slowly began pumping in and out. Jane's hips met the slow pace, as Maura brought her tongue to tease Jane's now throbbing clit. Jane groaned at the contact, altogether loving the feelings Maura was creating. She couldn't remember a time when she felt this good.
She groaned again as Maura inserted another finger and slightly picked up the pace of her hand and tongue. The speed of Jane's hips increased as well, and Maura smiled at the effect she was having on Jane.
"You're killing me Maura," Jane grunted after a while. Maura simply hummed her reply, and inserted yet another finger into Jane's core, once again picking up the pace. Jane gasped at the new sensation, and tangled her hands in Maura's hair. Maura took the hint and once again increased her pace. She wasn't going as rapidly as Jane had during their last encounter, but it was by no means slow. She felt Jane's leg muscles begin to quiver and decided to curl the ends of her fingers that the end of each thrust to reach Jane's G-spot. Jane was soon whimpering, and clutching Maura's head, willing her not to stop. She quietly cried Maura's name as she slipped into oblivion, feeling as high as she'd ever felt.
Maura slowed her ministrations but didn't stop them, as she helped Jane orgasm. She smiled at the body below her, and gently kissed Jane's inner thigh as she removed her fingers. Jane whined at the loss of contact, but soon hummed in appreciation as Maura made her way up Jane's body to reach eye level. Maura gently kissed Jane's neck, as she waited for her lover to come back to the world.
Jane regained her sense of self, and slowly brought her hand to rub the small of Maura's back, which was one of her favorite things to do. Maura kissed her softly, and Jane hummed in approval.
"Okay?" Maura asked hesitantly, still a little unsure of herself.
Jane smiled softly at the woman above her and nodded. "Way better than okay."
Maura kissed her again, and rolled onto her side, resting the left side of her head against Jane's left shoulder. The two lay in silence, enjoying the simple pleasure of holding each other.
As the two started to fall asleep, Maura broke the silence. "Jane..." she said sleepily.
"Hmm?" she replied, lazily kissing Maura's head.
"I love you."
"I love you too, Maura," she replied as she drifted off to sleep.
The next morning the two awoke in the exact same position they had fallen asleep in. Maura smiled into Jane's shoulder, and kissed it gently, eliciting a hum from Jane.
"You awake, sweetheart?" Maura asked.
Jane simply hummed again, and nodded. Maura chuckled at the response, and snuggled a little closer to Jane.
"I think I'm going to get another glass of hot chocolate. Want one?"
She heard Jane hum her approval, and kissed her gently before slipping on a robe to go to the kitchen.
When she returned to the bedroom, Jane was sitting up, now more awake, and readily accepted the cup.
"Thanks, Maur."
"You're welcome." Maura slipped off the robe, and slid back into bed, leaning against the headboard next to Jane.
"I propose a toast," Jane said, gently moving her mug toward Maura.
"And exactly to what are we drinking, Jane?" Maura replied in both amusement and approval.
"Umm... I don't know. I didn't really think about that," She admitted. "Okay... how about... to more nights like last night and more mornings like this, and to an all around happy life. Work?"
Maura thought for a minute, and realized it was a bit incomplete. "Well, we need to also toast to what brought us here in the first place, Jane. It needs to be a combination of past, present, and future."
"Well, than what do you suggest, Oh Smart One?" Jane teased.
Maura smirked, and thought for a second. "How about... the coffee, cold weather, and new beginnings?"
Jane cocked her head to the side, thought about this, and nodded. "That's perfect. To coffee, cold weather and new beginnings! Cheers!" The two clinked their mugs together and took a long sip from their cup, both silently hoping for a long road ahead.
YAY! Well, that's all folks! Still review it! I wanna read! Much love to you all!
