It was a difficult subject to broach and in all honesty (as if Maura could lie) she was very tempted to simply pretend it wasn't there and not say anything at all. It wouldn't count as a lie and she wouldn't get hives, but the looks on Frost's and Korsak's faces would be extremely entertaining... for like the first half a second before Jane figured it out.
Maura sighed though her eyes never stopped admiring the beautiful brunette fogging up the bathroom. No wonder she seemed not to have noticed the very prominent hickey on her neck. She probably couldn't see a single thing in that mirror.
Jane strolled back into the bedroom, towel wrapped around her body, only to find Maura still in bed and staring at her. "Er, hi, Maur," she greeted and when that didn't garner a reaction, the detective paused in front of the closet. "Maur? You okay over there?"
Maura snapped out of an almost dream-like sequence to see Jane looking at her with concern instead of lust, and the towel was still firmly in place instead of slowly being peeled off. She huffed and got out of bed. "I'm fine," she answered as she walked to the bathroom. "But Jane, I suggest you wear a turtleneck to work. I seem to have left a bite mark on your neck."
The bathroom door closed as Jane's jaw dropped. She dashed for the guest bathroom, inspecting her neck in the mirror herself. Well I'll be damned.
Strutting back into the bedroom, she tossed the towel on the floor by the bathroom door, an idea taking hold in her mind. The door swung open easily and she tip-toed inside without a sound. The shower door always made a noise when it opened, but that was the only heads up Maura was given before Jane had her pressed against the shower wall with lips attacking her neck.
Absolutely no fight was in the doctor who virtually collapsed against the tiles, kept vertical only by Jane's force against her. She got her legs under her just as Jane removed her mouth from the steamy skin. Jane hopped out of the shower, stepping quickly to the door and her towel, but stopped halfway across the threshold. "Hey, Maura? I suggest you wear a turtleneck to work. Somehow, I seem to have left a bite mark on your neck," she smirked and closed the door behind her, humming under her breath.
