"Come on Maura, aren't you done yet?" Jane whined from the bathroom doorway.
"Almost Jane. I just have to floss and then I will be all set." The honey blonde told her after she finished rinsing the toothpaste from her mouth.
"You're going to take the time to floss when I want nothing more then to through you down in the middle of our bed and ravish you?"
Many people might have thought that Maura Isles was born perfect but what they didn't know is that she was not born with perfect teeth. Her straight teeth were the work of years worth of visits to the orthodontist. She even had a permanent retainer that ran along the back of her front teeth on her lower jaw. It made flossing light more difficult - at least annoying - because she had to thread the floss between her teeth and the retainer before she could floss properly.
"Yes, Jane, yes I am." She answered simply. "Oral care is very important."
"I'm about to give you another type of important oral care." Jane smirk as she slipped her arms around her girlfriend's waist. Her attempt to spur Maura on made no difference, "Really? You can't skip just this once? You always have to floss?"
"Yes," Maura smiled as she pulled a white strand from the small box in her hand, "Always."
Just a little something I thought of when I was flossing the other day :)
