Chapter 41: Fireworks
A/N: This wasn't the intended next chapter, but it's what came out. It's not long, but hopefully it's fun (and a little sweet). Definitely NSFW. If you don't like smut, you should probably skip this one. Plus, this means we're up to 84 chapters, lol.
Also, DirtyRobber and Ronijn, there's something just for you two in this chapter. You'll know it when you see it. 😜
Trigger warning: kinky/semi-rough sex (but still filled with love)
Maura and Jane: July, Present Day
Maura walked out of the bathroom; her hair was pulled back, her face was clean of makeup, and she was wearing comfortable silk pajamas. At first glance, Jane didn't appear to be in the bedroom, but Maura jumped when she heard Jane screech and what sounded like a box full of stuff fall to the ground. Maura rushed to the closet where the noise came from.
Maura's hand flew to cover her mouth in an unsuccessful attempt to stop her laughter. Jane was standing in the middle of the closet with an open box on the floor next to her and a number of sex toys around her feet. Jane's face was bright red, and she pouted as Maura keeled over in laughter. Maura was laughing so hard that tears were coming out of her eyes.
Jane crossed her arms in front of her chest defiantly as Maura stepped into her space. Maura wrapped her arms around Jane's waist while Jane steadfastly refused to give into the touch, keeping her arms locked in front of her body.
Maura couldn't wipe the giant smile from her face as she leaned onto her tiptoes to give Jane a soft kiss. The feeling of Maura's lips pressed against her own finally broke Jane's resolve, and a smile tugged at her lips. She continued to try to feign annoyance to no avail as Maura placed soft butterfly kisses all over her face.
Finally, Jane laughed and wrapped her arms around Maura in return. When Jane had finally relaxed, Maura glanced at the items around their feet and asked, "What happened?"
Jane's head tilted slightly, and Maura could see that Jane still felt a tinge of embarrassment. "I was trying to move some of the boxes to make room for you on the shelves," she mumbled.
"Why are you so embarrassed?" Maura asked softly.
Jane shrugged but didn't loosen her grip on Maura. Maura gave Jane another chaste kiss on the lips before letting go of Jane and squatting to pick up the toys. She knew Jane was shy about sex-related topics, but she had hoped that they'd gotten past that. Besides, all of the toys were rather vanilla; most of them were different types of vibrators.
"You have nothing to be embarrassed about," she said as she put the last toy in the box and stood up, still holding the box. "Toys are a very common tool used by both couples and individuals to add variety to their sex lives. It's perfectly healthy."
"I know," Jane said as she took the box from Maura and pushed it back onto the top shelf. "I mostly just didn't expect them to all come tumbling down on top of me. Not exactly the sexiest way for you to discover my sex toy collection."
Maura laughed. Her head tilted to the side, and she pulled her bottom lip between her teeth; both actions telegraphing to Jane that her girlfriend was deep in thought. "Have you used those with other people?" Maura asked eventually.
"I've used toys with other people but not those specific ones. I've only used them on myself. Why?" Jane asked seductively, pretty sure she knew the answer.
"Does this mean you'd be open to toys in the bedroom?" Maura asked.
Jane chuckled and pulled Maura back towards her into a tight embrace. "Yes, but those probably need to be charged," she whispered against Maura's lips before capturing them in a passionate kiss.
Maura threaded her fingers into Jane's hair, holding her close as she returned the kiss with vigor. "Would you be open to other toys as well?" she asked when she pulled away. Both of their eyes were dilated, and their breathing had become quick and shallow.
"What did you have in mind?"
"Would you be open to trying a strap-on or two-sided dildo?" Maura asked.
Jane chuckled. "You want me to wear it or you?" she asked.
"Both. Either. Whatever you'd be open to," Maura admitted breathlessly.
"I've never tried one before, but yeah, I'd at least try it."
"You didn't…" Maura trailed off, not actually wanting to ask the question that was on the tip of her tongue.
"No," Jane replied to Maura's unasked question. Maura moaned when Jane pulled her back into a kiss. Jane took advantage of the parting of Maura's lips to slip her tongue into Maura's mouth. Maura sucked gently on Jane's tongue. Their tongues continued their battle – pushing and pulling, grazing teeth, and thrusting deep into each other's mouths – as their hands grew bold. Maura's fingers scratched at Jane's scalp as she pressed the full length of her body against Jane's. When Jane nipped lightly at her bottom lip, Maura's hips bucked hard against Jane's pelvis.
Jane groaned as she pulled her mouth away from Maura's. "I really need to lock up downstairs before we go any further," she whined reluctantly.
"Hurry back," Maura whispered as she released her hold on Jane.
Jane whimpered at the loss, planted one more kiss on Maura's lips, and left the room.
Maura quickly removed her clothes and got into bed, folding the blankets at the foot of the bed. She settled in the middle of the bed and pulled the sheet up over her chest to cover her body (just in case one of the kids decided to walk through the currently unlocked bedroom door before Jane came back).
When Jane returned, she paused halfway through the doorway as her eyes landed on Maura waiting for her. Maura smiled and a rush of warmth flooded her body at the look that crossed Jane's face. She could already feel the wetness gathering between her legs.
Maura raised her eyebrow as she watched Jane. "Are you just going to stand there?" she asked with a smirk.
Jane quickly stepped the rest of the way inside, shutting and locking the door behind her. Jane stripped as she stalked towards the bed, leaving a trail of clothing on the floor behind her.
Another flood of wetness coated the insides of her thighs as Maura watched Jane crawl towards her. Jane started at the foot of the bed, slowly moving towards Maura. When she reached Maura, Jane continued crawling up Maura's body, never taking her eyes off of Maura's. Maura felt the tension growing in her body, and Jane hadn't even touched her yet. She was sure that every nerve ending in her body was on fire. When Jane was finally hovering over her, Maura reached out her hands, intending to run them up Jane's sides and cup her breasts, but Jane stopped her.
Jane shook her head with a smirk as she gently grasped Maura's wrists and lifted them above Maura's head, pinning them against the pillows. Maura was afraid she'd come undone right then and there as she looked deeply into Jane's eyes. Jane's pupils were so dilated that her eyes looked black, and they twinkled in the dim light provided by the lamp on the nightstand. The mischievous grin on Jane's face aroused Maura even more.
Jane leaned up to kiss Maura's wrists. She started leaving wet open-mouthed kisses down Maura's arms. She kissed Maura's right wrist, forearm, elbow, and bicep before moving back up to provide the same treatment to her left arm. Maura took advantage of Jane's position to lift her head and capture Jane's nipple in her mouth, causing Jane to gasp and let out a low moan as Maura swirled her tongue around the quickly tightening nub.
Jane enjoyed the sensations of Maura's mouth on her breast for a few moments before she reluctantly pulled away. "Uh, uh," Jane said, shaking her head as she held her body out of Maura's reach without letting up her grasp on Maura's wrists. "I get to unwrap my present first."
Maura groaned, causing Jane to chuckle.
"I'm gonna let go of your wrists, but you better keep your hands above your head. No touching until I say so. If you touch, I stop. Understand?" Jane asked.
Maura nodded vigorously as Jane released her hands.
Jane pulled the sheet down, revealing one of Maura's pert breasts. Jane kissed, licked, and nipped every inch of skin as she exposed it. Before she had even moved to her other breast, Maura was moaning loudly, and she was squirming beneath Jane's touch. Maura's hips bucked violently when Jane finally pulled the sheet from her other breast and began providing it the same treatment. Jane continued kissing and licking across Maura's flat stomach, slowly revealing each inch of skin with reverence, but when Jane reached her bellybutton and swirled her tongue into it, Maura decided to take control.
Before Jane knew what was happening, Maura had brought her hands down to Jane's hips. Using Jane's momentary surprise, Maura flipped their positions and pushed the sheet down to the foot of the bed.
Jane's eyes burned with passion as she looked up at Maura. Maura smirked at the look of surprise on Jane's face. "My turn," she breathed against Jane's mouth as she leaned forward for a bruising kiss. Jane moaned loudly as her hands found purchase on Maura's ass, pulling her hard against her body.
Maura pulled back slightly. She wanted to make Jane come before she reached her own climax.
Jane was incredibly turned on by this more dominant side of Maura. Her own arousal had already been insanely high as she had explored Maura's body, but now…now, she was sure she was going to explode into a million pieces.
Maura didn't pin Jane's hands to the bed, knowing that that would likely not be something Jane would like given her history, but she used her body weight to hold Jane in place as she assaulted her with kisses.
Maura gave Jane's breast a rough squeeze before beginning a gentler massage while her mouth attempted to cover every inch of Jane's body. Jane was writhing beneath her as Maura moved her hand to her other breast to provide the same treatment.
"Maauuurrr," Jane whined as she tried to move so that she could gain some friction on her center.
Maura chuckled against Jane's breast, causing a shiver to run through Jane's body in response to the vibrations. Maura released Jane's breast with a pop before resuming her assent down Jane's body.
When she reached her destination, Maura settled between Jane's thighs, pushing them further apart to give herself better access. Maura threaded her fingers with Jane's as she ran her tongue the length of Jane's slit.
"Shit!" Jane gasped as her hips bucked hard against Maura's mouth. "Fuck, Maurrrr-aaaaahhhhh!" Jane screamed when Maura's tongue pressed hard against her swollen clit. Her free hand flew to Maura's hair. Maura continued moving her tongue, circling Jane's clit before moving back to circle her opening. She continued this figure eight pattern for a while; on every few passes, Maura thrust her tongue into Jane, moving deeper each time. When Maura could feel Jane's inner walls starting to twitch around her tongue, she decided that she wanted to watch Jane come. She quickly replaced her tongue with her hand, entering Jane with three fingers and pressing her thumb hard against Jane's clit. Jane's entire body twitched at the intrusion.
It only took a few thrusts before Jane's body froze and seized beneath her. Maura watched the pleasure play out on Jane's face as she continued moving her fingers hard and fast inside of Jane. Jane's eyes rolled into the back of her head, her back arched off the bed, her toes curled, and every muscle in her body contracted as what was easily the best orgasm of her life crashed through Jane's body. When Jane collapsed back onto the bed after nearly a minute of wave after wave of her climax rolling through her, Maura gently removed her fingers from inside of Jane, gave her a soft kiss, and cuddled against her side.
Jane slowly recovered from her intense high, just enjoying the feeling of Maura wrapped around her. When she could finally move again, Jane turned to look at Maura, who offered her a loving smile. "If I didn't know better, I would think you were trying to kill me," Jane said weakly, in an echo of Maura's comment from a few weeks ago.
Maura laughed lightly. "No, let's just say that watching you today had me quite aroused," she whispered, laughing again when a look of confusion crossed Jane's face. "I find watching you be an amazing mother incredibly sexy," she admitted.
Jane blushed, drawing a giggle from the woman in her arms.
"Evolutionarily, it makes sense," Maura continued, falling into lecture mode. "Even among same sex couples, there is still an instinctual desire to make sure your genes survive. Therefore, it makes sense to be attracted to someone who takes care of your children. I find you ridiculously attractive. You're a fantastic mother to all four of our children."
Maura shifted so that she was back on top of Jane. Not having yet achieved her own climax, her body was buzzing with need.
Jane's hands grasped at Maura's hips before sliding up her sides. "And I find your brain insanely sexy," Jane admitted as she watched Maura moving slowly against her body.
"You're sapiosexual," Maura muttered as her head fell back and her eyes closed while she continued to grind against Jane's pelvis.
"I'm what?" Jane asked distractedly, her attention focused partially on Maura's words and partially on her own hands kneading Maura's ample breasts.
"Sapiosexual," Maura clarified without opening her eyes as she continued to focus on the feeling of Jane's hands on her body, "it means you are attracted to my intelligence."
"Okay, yeah, then that's what I am," Jane whispered as she brought her left hand down between Maura's legs.
Maura's hips bucked involuntarily when Jane's fingers made contact with her hyper-sensitive clit. "Oh!" Maura cried out. She wasn't really able to string two thoughts together let alone verbalize a sentence, but if she could have, she would have told Jane how much her words meant to her. She had spent much of her life feeling like her intelligence was a hinderance to romantic relationships. It meant the world to her that Jane didn't just tolerate her big brain, but she found it attractive.
Maura moaned loudly when Jane entered her with three fingers. She wasn't sure she had ever been wound this tightly without having yet reached her climax – it was almost painful, but she was loving it. Maura continued to ride Jane's fingers, her hips moving faster and faster as she used every ounce of will-power she had to keep her orgasm at bay. She knew the longer she could hold back, the more intense the resulting orgasm would be.
Maura's voice was bouncing off the walls as she moaned and cried out. Jane was internally glad that not only were the kids heavy sleepers, but tonight she had turned on white noise in their rooms to drown out the fireworks still blasting throughout the neighborhood for the holiday.
Jane curled her fingers inside of Maura, perfectly hitting that spot that Maura loved so much. Maura's hand flew to grab Jane's wrist and hold it in place. Wanting to draw Jane deeper and increase the pressure, Maura thrust her hips forward as hard as she could at the same time her hand pushed Jane's wrist back. It was enough to force Jane's entire hand into her vagina.
Maura screamed when the pain mixed with her pleasure as Jane's hand stretched her to her limit. But once Jane's hand had passed her pelvic bone, the feeling of being filled entirely by Jane was worth the momentary pain.
Jane's eyes opened wide in surprise as Maura pushed her whole hand inside. She had heard of fisting before, but she had never done it. She saw the flash of pain cross Maura's face immediately followed by the most intense look of pleasure she had ever seen. Jane shifted her hand as best she could inside of Maura until she could use the knuckle of her thumb to press against her front wall. Maura's body spasmed as she continued to ride Jane's hand, Jane's wrist providing the needed pressure against her clit.
After a few hard thrusts, Maura's body seized as her orgasm overtook her. She shook violently above Jane, the slight pain only serving to intensify the pleasure coursing through her body. The look of pure ecstasy on Maura's face nearly made Jane come again, so she used her free hand to rub her own clit furiously.
When Jane's body arched as her second orgasm of the night rushed through her, she bucked up against Maura, causing Maura to tumble right into another orgasm of her own. They both cried out as they rode out their pleasure together.
Jane had just barely come back to earth when Maura suddenly collapsed on top of her, having fainted. Jane barely had time to catch Maura with her right arm since her left hand was still buried deep inside of Maura. As tenderly as she could, Jane turned both of them so that Maura was lying on the bed, breathing hard. Jane withdrew her hand as gently as she could, but Maura's body still spasmed as the slight pain and pleasure caused an aftershock to rock her body. When Maura turned her body towards Jane, Jane knew that she had at least regained consciousness, even if she hadn't opened her eyes or otherwise acknowledged Jane.
Jane softly ran her fingers through Maura's hair as the other woman recovered in her arms. When Maura's eyes finally fluttered open, they were met by the worried dark brown eyes of her girlfriend. Maura smiled softly as she brought her own hand up to cup Jane's cheek.
"Stop worrying," she whispered breathlessly. "That was…fucking amazing."
"Did I hurt you?" Jane asked softly.
"No, love," Maura assured her, trying to infuse as much love into her voice as possible. "That was exactly what I wanted, exactly what I needed."
"Is it bad that you feinted?"
"I was probably unknowingly holding my breath during my orgasms. Combined with the drop in blood pressure, it was enough to cause vasogagel syncope."
Maura lifted her head to look at Jane. Seeing that her love was still concerned, she added, "No, it's not bad if it happens occasionally. It would be concerning if it happened every time."
Maura gave Jane a soft, loving kiss. When she pulled back, she whispered, "I love you, Jane," and laid back against her girlfriend.
Jane wrapped her arms around Maura and pulled her tight against her body. "I love you too," she replied softly. Maura rested her head against Jane's chest, using her free hand to draw idle patterns on Jane's bare arm. Jane pulled the sheet over both of them, and they were both asleep within seconds.
When Maura awoke from her deep sleep, she could tell that it was still very early. At first, she was unsure what had awoken her until she realized that she desperately needed to pee. She extracted herself from Jane's embrace. When she pushed herself off the bed, she winced slightly. She was definitely sorer than she had expected from their activities the night before, but it was definitely worth it. The feelings of intense love, desire, and care that had overwhelmed her were unlike anything she had ever experienced before. Combined with the feeling of Jane filling her completely…well, she had never felt more complete and satisfied.
When she stepped back into the main part of the bathroom from the toilet area, she was surprised to find Jane standing by the sink watching her with concern.
Jane's eyebrows were furrowed as she watched Maura. She had noticed Maura wince when she had first gotten out of bed, so she had followed to make sure she was okay.
"I hurt you," Jane said quietly, her voice thick with the tears she was trying to hold back.
"No," Maura said, rushing towards Jane and pulling her into a tight embrace. "No, Jane," she repeated firmly. "You did not hurt me. Yes, I'm a little sore. We're not as young as we once were. But you did not hurt me. What we did last night was intense, and I loved every minute of it. I love how gentle you usually are with me. I always feel so loved and cherished, but sometimes, I do like rougher sex. The intensity of what I felt last night was worth every bit of soreness I'm feeling today. I'm fine. I promise. I will always tell you if you do something I don't like or that actually hurts me, okay?"
Jane nodded, but she still looked like she was on the verge of tears. Maura gave her a loving kiss on the cheek.
"I wouldn't want to make love that way every time, but every once in a while, I do enjoy a little pain – it intensifies the pleasure," Maura said as she locked eyes with Jane. "Jane?"
Jane nodded again, this time feeling a little more convinced. "I understand what you're saying. I just…I saw you flinch. I hate the thought that I hurt you.," she admitted. "But I get it. I like making you feel loved and cherished, but I also like making you feel good. I do know that a little pain can intensify the pleasure…as long as we're always honest with each other."
"Always. I promise."
Jane leaned forward for another kiss. "I also totally understand that we're getting old," she admitted.
Maura laughed and gave Jane a playful slap. "I did not say that we are old," she protested. "We're just not 25 anymore."
"Mmmhmm," Jane hummed. "But in all honesty, I've never been happier. I have no desire to go back to 25."
"Me neither," Maura replied. Her eyes fluttered shut as Jane continued kissing down her jawline. "But, um, we're covered in cum, sweat, and saliva. We should probably shower before the kids get up. We definitely smell like sex."
"Is that an invitation?" Jane asked seductively.
Maura laughed breathily. "If you're gentle," she said, unable and unwilling to turn Jane down.
"I want to show you how loved and cherished you are," Jane mumbled against her neck as she backed Maura towards the shower. Jane reached in and turned on the shower. They continued to stand together, making out while the shower heated up. When the water was warm enough, Jane guided Maura into the shower.
Maura sighed in contentment as the warm water flowed over her, relieving some of the soreness lingering in her body. She leaned against the wall of the shower, her eyes closed, as she enjoyed the treatment Jane was giving her body. Part of her wanted to pleasure Jane, but she had to admit she was enjoying this immensely. She also knew that Jane probably needed this just as much as she was enjoying it.
"Fuck," Maura breathed out quietly as Jane's mouth wrapped around her breast. She never knew that gentleness could feel so good, and she couldn't believe how quickly Jane's tenderness was working her up.
Jane switched to Maura's other breast, enjoying the sounds coming from the woman above her. She was determined to show Maura just how much she loved her. Jane kissed her way down Maura's body until she was kneeling in front of her. When she looked up, the sight above her caused a rush of arousal to shoot to her center. Maura was leaning against the wall of the shower. The water was falling onto her breasts and body. Her eyes were closed, and her lips were parted as she let Jane take care of her. Maybe they weren't 25 anymore, but Jane couldn't imagine anyone looking more beautiful.
Jane used her tongue to gently part Maura's folds. Maura's body twitched slightly at the contact and she spread her legs a little more to give Jane better access. Jane continued her ministrations, using her tongue to lovingly caress Maura's clit. When Maura was trembling, Jane lifted Maura's right leg over her shoulder, allowing her to rest some of her weight on Jane. Jane continued using her tongue to provide attention to Maura's clit while she brought her left hand up, gently penetrating Maura with two fingers.
"Ahhh!" Maura gasped softly at the unexpected intrusion. She may be sore, but damn did this feel good.
Jane moved in and out of Maura as gently as possible, curling her fingers slightly on the way out, while she sucked softly on her clit. Her eyes remained glued to Maura's face, watching for any sign of pain, but she didn't see any. Maura's face was a mask of pleasure as her body began shaking.
Jane brought her free hand between her own legs and began rubbing her clit. Jane gave Maura's clit a slightly harder suck at the same time she curled the fingers of her left hand inside of Maura and used the fingers of her right hand to press hard against her own clit. She watched Maura come apart above her for a few seconds before she followed her over the edge.
Maura felt a few tears leak out as her climax hit her. Her orgasm wasn't anywhere near as intense as the two she had the previous night, but the love she felt was just as strong.
As her own orgasm passed, Jane stood and took Maura into her arms. Maura rested her weight against Jane, resting her head on Jane's shoulder. They stood together under the warm stream of the shower in silence for a few minutes, basking in the afterglow of their pleasure.
Maura lifted her head to look at Jane. When their eyes met, all she saw was love and acceptance. "I love you so much," she whispered before giving Jane a chaste kiss.
"I love you, too," Jane replied.
They stayed in the shower until the water was nearly cold, taking turns washing each other's hair and body. Neither one tried to take it any further as they just enjoyed the care and closeness they were both feeling. The feeling of pure, all-consuming love.
A/N: Well, you all know how much of a nerd I am. The idea for this chapter came from an article I read in Psychology Today about a research study on rough sex. According to the study, most people like rough sex of some kind, but there are basically two different definitions of rough sex. The conclusion…consent is so important! Make sure you and your partner agree, then enjoy.
