Korsak and Frost sat at their desks and looked worried to the closed door of Cavanaugh's office.

" What do you think, what's going on in there? ", Frost wanted to know.

Korsak shrugged. " I don't know but the Doc looked like she has seen a ghost. "

Cavanaugh sat at his desk with a deep frown on his forehead. " Are you sure? "

Jane sucked in her lower lip and nodded gloomily. " Yes, Sir. "

" A confusion is one hundred percent exluded? "

Again Jane nodded. " Yes. "

Cavanaugh leaned back in his chair and sighed heavily. " This is a disaster. When the press hear of it they will pounce like vultures on it. "

Maura stood like a beaten dog in the office. " Lieutenant, I've made this mistake. I should face the consequences. "

" Maura ... ", Jane moaned.

" There will be consequences. ", Cavanaugh cut her off. " But we will face them together. We are all responsible and we are a family. In this case no alone facing the music. Go and tell the others about it. I think of a solution. "

Jane took a deep breath. " Yes, Sir. "

Maura followed her wife and held her in the hallway by the arm. " Jane, I can no longer work at the case. "

Jane raised confused her eyebrows. " Why? "

Maura made big eyes. " I have more or less committed a murder. "

" Wha ... ", Jane hissed and pulled her eyebrows tightly together, confusion was written all over her face. " Maura you don't have COMMITTED a murder. Last night you were in OUR bedroom, in OUR bed, with me, your wife and slept. "

Maura rolled her eyes. " Not in the true sense of the word, Jane. I would've had to decipher the message rather than to lie in bed and sleep. The man is dead because of me. BECAUSE OF ME, JANE! "

Now Jane knew where it came from, this uncertainty. Feelings of guilt. They could eat you up. " Maura, you're a human of flesh and blood. You have to eat, drink and sleep. It was a mistake and you don't know whether you can decrypt the message in time. God, you were totally exhausted. "

Maura pressed her lips together and looked around uncertainly. " I ... I don't know. "

" That's right. ", Jane said with emphasis and looked Maura frowning deeply into her eyes. " You don't know. It is NOT your fault. Do you understand me, Maura? "

Maura looked back, took a deep breath and nodded.

Jane raised her eyebrows. " Yes? "

Maura still nodded. " Yes. "

Jane smiled softly. " Okay, then let's go. "

Korsak sighed loudly. " Cavanaugh's right. No one's alone. "

Frost rubbed his eyes with his right hand. " We're torn apart. "

Maura hadn't said all the time no word.

Korsak looked at Jane and then at Maura and made big eyes. " Hey, Doc, it's not your fault. Without you we would have two dead bodies. "

Maura smiled weak.

Jane took a deep breath and rubbed her hands. " Okay, what do we know about the victim. "

Frost suppressed a yawn. " Simon Murphy, thirty-five. No wife or girlfriend and no children. "

Korsak took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose. " A lone wolf. Neither family nor friends. No one could report him missing. "

Jane streched her back and rolled her shoulders. " What does Simon connect with Ty? "

Korsak shrugged. " Well, actually nothing. "

Jane rubbed her jaw line with her left index finger, lost in thoughts. " One thing connects them. "

Frost pulled his eyebrows together. " And that would be? "

Jane looked back and forth at Frost and Korsak. " What do you two pretty have in common? "

Maura had to chuckle.

Frost and Korsak raised their eyebrows and said in unison: Ah!

Jane chuckled herself and scratched her right ear. " Right, Ah! So their both men. "

Frost narrowed his eyes. " Do you think the murderer is a woman? "

Jane sucked in her lower lip and hesitated a moment. " No, I don't think so. The murder was to brutal. "

" Well, ", Maura jumped in. " you shouldn't ignore it. Although women are often less able to commit serial murders but it's a possibility. "

Jane pursed her lips and looked at Maura out of the corner of her eyes. " Were you ... at the same crime ... then I was? "

Maura crossed her arms and gritted her teeth. " Yes, I was. "

Jane frowned lightly with a smile on her lips. " What say your studies how female serial killers kill? "

" Well, they say that female serial killers prefer to kill with poison. But there are also such which have overkills by stab wounds. But as I said mainly poison. "

" Not your best day, huh, Doc?", whispered Korsak but to loud.

Jane exhaled loudly and closed her eyes.

Frost suddenly studied in detail the unit award on the wall.

Maura gritted her teeth and looked at him offended. " No, not really, SERGEANT. "

Korsak looked at her startled, and opened his mouth. He was ashamed of the unreasonable and excessively loud question.

Jane had beads of sweat on her furrowed brow. She braced herself on her left elbow while her fingers clutched with Maura's beside her head and Jane's right hand lay on Maura's hip.

The ride back home and Alexis' bed time was full of tension and Jane had with the phrase ' Let me take your mind off ' taken the initiative.

Maura stood the intense gaze, biting her lower lip and exhaled shakily. She She pressed her head back into the pillow and moaned softly as Jane slowly but deeply penetrated her with the strap-on. It was only used when Alexis was over night at Angela's and Jane just wanted to fuck Maura and neither had to hold back. But this time it wasn't just fucking. This time it was gentle, slow and sensual, just making love.

Jane let her hand slide from the hip, along the thigh, to the knee. Then she angled Maura's leg up.

" Oh God. ", Maura panted and looked her wife straight in the eyes.

Jane stroke softly her way back up to Maura's left hand and clutched it as she was sure that Maura wouldn't change the position.

Maura pressed her lips together and moaned from the depths of her soul.

Jane kissed just above the birthmark on her neck as she pulled the dildo almost completely withdrew out of Maura and slightly thrust back harder.

Maura stifled a loud, lustful moan and arched her she dug her nails painfully into Jane's back.

Jane wrapped her right arm under Maura's back and braced both body weights with her left arm as she passionately kissed her wife and increased the rhythm.

Maura began to tremble as she reached her climax and sucked in Jane's lower lip between her lips. A red-hot fire went through her body and Maura moaned and whimpered as her orgasm flooded through her.

Jane slowed the pace till Maura was completely relaxed and wanted to pull out.

Maura hold her heavily breathing back and looked her dizzy. " Please ... not yet. "

Jane chuckled. " Another round? ", she asked heavy breathing.

Maura laughed and closed her eyes. " No. I just like it when you're lying on me. "

Jane gave her a gentle kiss. " I could take off the strap-on and lie down on you again. "

Maura sighed with closed eyes and a smile lay on her lips. " Okay. "

Jane put off the strap-on and lay back. Then she rolled until she was on her back and Maura lay on top of her. " I think that's more comfortable. "

Maura smiled in agreement and snuggled more into Jane.

Jane smiled warm-hearted and kissed her wife's. " I love you so much, Maura. "

Maura rested her chin on Jane's collarbone and looked at her with shinig eyes. " I love you more. "

Jane has always been fascinated by Maura's eyes. You could almost read every emotional state in her face. But her eyes always betrayed her. Was Maura happy they shone with green, hazel and a little gold. Was Maura sad they were mainly hazel with hazy green. Was Maura angry they were apperently only hazel with a dangerous amount of silver. Barely visible but warningly.

Now her eyes shone with green, hazel and gold ... and full of love.

Jane's heart swelled with love and she put a strand of hair behind her wife's ear. " You have no idea how much I love you, Maura. "

Maura put her right ear over Jane's heart and held her breath as she heard the strong but much too fast heartbeat. " Jane ... "

Jane put a hand on Maura's head and smiled. " That's what you do to me. It's your fault. "

Maura looked up after a while and had tears in her eyes. " Jane ... "

Jane ran her thumb along Maura's cheek and held her at her chin. " To describe my love for you someone would have to invent the word. Not even Shakespeare had the right love poem. "

Maura looked deep into Jane's dark eyes and saw nothing but devoted love. She sucked in her upper lip and her chin trembled as she closed her eyes and a tear found its way down her cheek.

Jane wiped away the tear with her thumb and gave Maura a all promising kiss.

Maura sobbed and smiled against her wife's lips as she put a hand around her face.

Jane smiled broadly so her dimples were deep as she laid her forehead against Maura's.

Maura's dimples were also to see as she smiled and as she shook her head. " My Jane. "

Jane kept the eye contact and nodded. " Your Jane ... Always and forever. "

Maura gave her a sweet kiss and sighed with a smile.
