The door clicked behind Maura, her hand still holding Jane's. The detective moved further into the bathroom in a sort of daze that was concerning to the doctor. Her face was blank of emotion, her eyes only half open. Her mouth was parted only just and her breathing came out unevenly. Maura stumbled after Jane; still confused as to why Jane was suddenly so... intimate? "Jane, what are we doing?"
"Having a shower." Jane let go of Maura's hand and started to step into the shower, still fully clothed, before Maura reached out after her. Maura's hand grasped tightly onto Jane's wrist, pulling her back towards her.
"Jane, you're still dressed. You'll get your clothes wet and they'll drip all over the floor when you get out."
"Then help me out of them."
"What?" Maura took a step back, her face now truly etched with confusion. Yes, she wanted to undress Jane and slip into the shower with her, feeling her warm, wet skin against her own, but not when Jane was as out of it as she was. "Jane, I'm not go-"
Her sentence was cut short by Jane pushing her body backwards and pinning her against the door, their mouths only a whisper apart. Maura opened her mouth to continue her argument, but she had suddenly completely lost her train of thought. Jane moved in, without thinking, and moulded their lips together. She took the doctor's bottom lip between her own, tugging gently as she took a deep breath in through her nose.
Maura tried to keep her eyes open, knowing that this was the only chance she had if she wanted to stay in control, but the harder Jane's body pressed against her own, the quicker it was becoming a losing battle. She finally surrendered, her hands coming up to support herself on Jane's hips as she fell into the kiss.
Their lips moved smoothly against each other's, their tongues and teeth teasing to try more. Jane's arm slipped behind Maura's head and held herself up against the door as the other pulled their bodies even closer together. Maura's hands played gingerly with the baggy material of Jane's sweater; slowly pulling the hem up her sides until she could slip her hands underneath to caress the tender skin of Jane's waist.
It tickled a little and Jane gasped at the soft touch. Maura opened her mouth to the brunette, diving into the passion of the moment. She pressed her fingers more firmly into Jane's skin as she tugged the detective's hips against her own, needing more pressure to release her urges. Jane pulled away from Maura's delicious lips to line her jaw in tender kisses before travelling further south to her neck. She dragged her teeth along the soft, slightly freckled skin and pressed her lips to Maura's throat to enjoy the vibrations of her moan.
Even as Jane moved down her body, Maura never let her hands leave Jane's sides, the tips of her fingers gradually pulling Jane's sweater up the further south the detectives wandering lips went. Jane's kisses bypassed Maura's chest, to which she was a little miffed about, but it was soon forgotten as the brunette rested on her knees and gently pulled Maura's own sweater up to expose her soft tummy. She pressed kisses to it as her hands snaked around the blonde's upper thighs, eliciting a gasp every now and then. The tight leggings she was wearing did nothing to slow Jane down as every curve of her gorgeous ass was put on display for Jane's pleasure.
Jane dragged her fingertips teasingly over the roundness of Maura's ass to the elastic of the waistband. She dipped her fingers under it and began to tug down. She looked up, her chocolate eyes meeting in a heavy lock with warm hazel ones as she said, "well, if you're not going to undress me, then I'll have to undress you." Maura sighed in relief as she melted in the detective's touch. Jane had only gotten the waistband half way down Maura's ass before Maura's spoke up.
"Jane..."
"What is it, baby?" Maura sighed exasperatedly as that one word made it so much harder for Maura to say what she was going to.
"We need to stop."
"Why?" Jane whispered against Maura's tummy before pressing a soft kiss to it, just below her naval.
"Because you're emotional right now," she cringed knowing that Jane most likely wouldn't like to be referred to as emotional. "And I don't want you to regret anything."
"Maura," Jane started as she stood back up, never relinquishing the close proximity of their bodies. "I'm not asking you to sleep with me. I just need you to stay with me."
"In the shower?" Maura asked puzzled.
"Yeah," Jane let out with a chuckle. "I don't know... I just... I want to feel you beside me. Holding me."
"You do realise we'll be naked, right?"
"Well...um... I suppose we could keep our underwear on." Maura nodded as she laughed to herself quietly. No way was Jane Rizzoli this couple-y this quickly, she thought to herself. Jane leaned in and kissed Maura sweetly on the cheek, but when she leaned back she had that look in her eye. She was still going to have fun undressing Maura. She kissed her way back to the doctor's neck and suckled it softly as her fingers found their way back to the waistband of Maura's leggings.
Maura let her hands resume their task of pulling Jane's sweater up until it reached just below Jane's breast. She slipped her hands to the front of the garment and slid it slowly over, her fingers gracing teasingly at the cup of Jane's bra. Jane pulled back with a gasp to see Maura with just that same look in her eye. Two can play that game, detective, she thought. She used that moment to pull the sweater over Jane's head before tossing it onto the vanity.
Jane, suddenly aware that she was just in a bra, made quick work of removing Maura's leggings. Maura used Jane's shoulder as support as the brunette bent over to help Maura step out of her pants, leaving them on the floor. She traced her hand up the outside of Maura's exposed thigh, her other hand slipping underneath the blonde's own sweater, squeezing gently at her waist. Jane's fingertips slowed down at the top of Maura's thigh as she brought them over the blonde's sexy lace panties. She backtracked momentarily when her fingers had left them to dip back under their waistband too. Jane shook her head to break herself out of it and continued her hands up Maura's torso, her wrists pushing the sweater upwards as her palms pressed against the doctor's skin to create as much friction as possible. She didn't stop when the bunched up sweater reached Maura's bust, however; she only kept sliding her hands up Maura's soft skin, pushing her arms up above her head so the sweater would follow.
Once Maura was standing in her bathroom in only her matching underwear, Jane turned her own focus to her sweat pants. She pushed them over her hips and let them fall to the ground and stepped backwards towards her shower, her hand slipping into Maura's to make her follow. She turned to face her shower before stepping in.
Maura took a deep, steadying breath before following. The two women were now encased in a small space with nothing else but each other to hold on to. Jane turned the water on, which came out ice cold at first, making both of them squeal like school girls, but once the temperature started to even out, it became a lot easier to fall back into the moment.
Jane stuck her head under the spray, the warm water seeping through her messy hair to her tired scalp, instantly soothing it. Her hand was still holding Maura's so she gently tugged her towards the spray. Jane stepped aside as best she could to allow Maura to stick her own head under the water. She did only for a short while before she stepped back out and ran her hand over her face, swiping away all the water that was dripping there.
Neither woman was terribly concerned as to how soaked their underwear was getting, nor that they were so close together in just said underwear after a rather intimate make out session. They just wanted to stand with each other under the warm spray of the shower, their hands locked together as the rest of the bathroom steamed up.
They didn't know why they wanted to be there in that moment which was quite odd for the both of them but the feeling in the pits of their stomachs felt the same as wanting to jump into a warm cushion covered bed on a rainy day: it was just comfortable and warm. Jane turned towards the tiles, pressing her forehead against their coolness, her right hand coming up to support herself against the wall. She let her hand fall from its hold in Maura's hand, but Maura immediately turned to Jane and snaked her arms around the taller woman's waist, her head resting in the dip between Jane's shoulder blades. She breathed in heavily, then turned her head to plant a kiss on the wet skin beneath her.
Jane's free hand came up to cover Maura's which was resting on her taught abs, her pointer finger drawing lazy circles on her skin. She squeezed the hand gently before turning in the other woman's hold. Maura lifted her head as Jane spun, resting it on Jane's shoulder when she had finished moving. She tilted her head upwards and left a soft kiss on the brunette's neck as she dug her fingertips into her back.
"I love you, Jane." It was said with no other meaning than just that, letting Jane know that she would be there for her whenever she needed her to be and she wouldn't ever leave her.
"I know. I love you, too," she whispered into Maura's damp hair before resting her cheek atop her head and closing her eyes.
