You're all frickin' awesome! Thank you! Tj. xx

(Amended 2/26... sorry! Found some issues I had to fix. Should be a better read now but nothing major's changed if you're not inclined to read again. Cheers!)

Previously:

Jane pulls back the breath that is lost to her.

"This is love, Maur…" She holds her close, and whispers into her mouth, "This is love…"

She tangles her lips and her legs with Maura's knowing her declaration is true, and for the first time, meant with certainty. The mood settles thick around them as their kisses deepen. Soft, delicate tones of pleasure fill the air and Jane smiles, her lips parting from their tactile motion as she looks up for reassurance.

Falling blonde hair frames her vision, and it's clear Maura has never looked so beautiful.

"Okay?" she whispers, receiving a smile and subtle response.

They come together again, shifting, and rolling as their bodies adjust to their relentless need to be close. Gravity pulls Maura further into the mattress, and Jane supports her head with a loving hand as she's holds her close and follows.

A silent discussion is at play, by means of touch and intuition. Nothing is shed. Their tank and panties remain, and Jane moves completely above her in a full bodied caress.

"I'm not crushing you, am I?"

"No sweetheart, you feel good against me."

Their hips shift instinctively for more contact, and the need for air becomes overwhelming.

"You feel so good, Jane..." Maura whispers, adoring the moan that vibrates against her chest.

They move slowly, together, kissing and absorbing each other's touch. Uncertain whether to ask for more or whether to stop, Jane asks, and receives a heated kiss of encouragement.

"I want to come…" Maura breathes, "And I want you to make me come…"

She cradles the detective's brown locks, giving herself space to breathe and receive more of her kisses. Her words draw out a lengthy moan and a query for less clothing.

"Um… shouldn't we be losin' some clothing?"

"There are many ways for women to be stimulated to orgasm…," she pants in reply, "… and right now, Jane... I don't want you moving anywhere else but against me... like this."

"Oh damn..."

She lies hidden against Maura's neckline, closing her eyes and losing sight of her inhibitions. She pants as she kisses the soft skin pulsing nearest to her mouth. "Baby, I can feel you…" she breathes, "Please, tell me that's you…" The sensation is altogether new and glorious.

Maura palms her breasts and then grips her ass for more friction.

"Oh god…"

"It's me, Jane… I'm so close... don't stop…"

Feeling confident once again, she brushes her lips and tongue against Maura's increasing their rhythm and arching her back. Her left hand travels down to a strong thigh wrapped around her, and moves to grip onto the blonde's toned buttock. Extreme want and need flows through her, and she can no longer feel the skimpy clothes in between them. She hears Maura gasping, feels her hands clinging to her body, and the realisation hits her that this is finally happening. "I want you…" Her words fly out. "I want to make you come…"

Maura crashes their lips together, moaning, as a sudden wave of pleasure pulsates through her, from her body and into Jane's. "Oh, god!"

They both come apart with Jane shaking and clinging to Maura, panting into her mouth.

"Oh Jane…" They breathe and kiss, and breathe some more. "Sweetheart..." And Maura is in awe that her love has finally let go.

Their physical tremors calm, but a slightly altered rhythm continues on. They bathe in the way their bodies touch, and the sensitivity they've generated.

Jane kisses her thoroughly. "I love you…" And loses herself in teary eyes. She caresses Maura's face and moves her hair gently out of the way. It is a beautifully intimate moment, their most intimate by far.

"I love you too," the doctor replies, as tears fall across her temples and into her hairline.

"Hey... baby, don't cry…" Jane whispers, but her eyes shed happy tears anyway.

She tries to signal that she's okay and Jane smiles down upon her. "I'm okay…" she says, "I'm happy."

"Well, I'd kinda hoped so…"

Making her laugh as she brushes her tears away.

"I get it, though, I do." The cynical detective finding her own eyes moisten with a full heart. She maintains her tenderness but is then interrupted by an unexpected and unwanted ring tone. "Ugh... no..." She sinks into Maura, and sighs deeply. "You have got to be kidding me!"

"Who is it?" Maura asks, as she tries to get herself under control.

A muffled, "Frost" comes from beneath her chin and she gives Jane a squeeze.

"Don't you think you should answer it?"

"Probably…" But no action is taken, Jane is too annoyed that her plans for the day might now be shattered.

"Answer it, sweetheart. It might be important."

A low growl is emitted making Maura laugh, before Jane fumbles against the nightstand in search of her phone.

"Goddammit…" She grumbles. "I can't have one day without being at someone's beck and call." She answers, "What!"

"Hey, ah… Jane…?" He's hesitant.

"Get on with it Frost."

"Whatever you're needin' to do today, you better be doing it away from home cause your Ma's on her way over."

"What?" she barks, still draped over her favourite and now highly amused doctor. "I told you to cover for me!" she whines.

"Hey, I told her not to worry but you know your…"

"… Ma, yeah... unfortunately, I do. God, I can't get a moments peace from that woman! Thanks for the heads up."

"No problem partner. I'll see ya."

She hangs up and moans into the nearest pillow. Maura strokes her back and kisses her temple.

"Your mother's coming?"

"U-huh... just my luck."

"Well, we need to shower and get dressed. I'd say we have about 20 minutes."

"No, we have 15. I wanna be out of here before she arrives."

"Jane, how am I supposed to get ready in such a short amount of time?"

She pushes up, and admires flushed features. "You'll do it because you have to, 'cause if you don't, Ma will question you about why we've both taken a day off and look like we've just got out of bed after indulging in a certain kind of physical activity she's not expecting us to indulge in."

Raising her eyebrows to take the hint, the doc finally sees her logic, and she's given a very quick kiss before being shoved off. "You feed Jo and I'll be ready as quickly as I can."

Jane laughs, her girlfriend's panic only mildly alleviated by her rasping chuckle.

Please review. Thanks. xx
