Steam escaped from the two stoneware mugs as it got filled with hot liquid. The smell was delicious and homely. It reminded winter evenings laying on the couch, watching bad movies or baseball games.

Maura's whole body tensed up as an icy wave rushed up and down her spine, reaching her loins. With the lights so low, she didn't notice her friend getting closer. She was sure that if she made the slightest move, her back would touch Jane. The doctor instantly licked her lips as they felt dry while feeling the hot breath on the back of her neck.

J: "Is it-"

M: "I know what your favourite tea is, Jane."

J: "How do you always remember these things?"

The doctor licked her lips, again, and allowed herself to chuckle.

M: "It's what I do."

The doctor looked at the mugs for a while and slowly turned around, making her friend take a few steps back to give her space. With her back pressed against the counter, she settled her hands on Jane's sides, tenderly pulling her closer. The detective responded by resting a hand on her shoulder and tucking a piece of hair behind her ear with the other, leaving it on Maura's neck.

J: "What do we do now?"

M: "Everything you want to."

J: "I kicked Casey out before I came here."

M: "What does it mean for us?"

J: "It means that I-I will never leave you."

M: "I won't ever leave you either...Ever."

Jane gazed lovingly into her eyes, moving her face closer, rubbing her cheek against hers. A sense of sadness and regret in her tone.

J: "When did I become so lucky?"

M: "You have no idea how astonishing you are...I...I never thought you could like me. I thought you were straight."

J: "I thought I was too. I think...maybe that's why it took me so long. I was so scared about what I was feeling and tried so hard to keep it down, and then when I couldn't fight it anymore, I was terrified of rejection and losing you."

M: "Jane...I was terrified too. I still am. I'm afraid of making the wrong move and ruin everything, but I can't hold back any longer. I love you so much."

Maura placed one hand on her friend's chest and with the other held onto the shirt near her abdomen. Jane teared up a bit and leaned, so their lips brushed against one another.

J: "I love you."

The doctor felt herself becoming lightheaded. Gasping as Jane's warm tongue pressed against her lips, looking for a way in. She answered immediately by intensifying the kiss, needing to taste more of her friend's warm tongue.

J: "You're gonna need a lot of patience with me. I never...I...you're a woman. This is new territory for me."

M: "That's not a problem, Jane. We will go as slow as you need to."

J: "Well...not that slow."

Both women began chuckling between kisses.

M: "We'll make things up as we go and check how the other is feeling."

J: "Sounds great to me. Aaaand right now I feel like kissing you all over to make it up to you."

Maura flushed hard. Her cheeks turning bright red with the 'all over' remark. She gulped, not sure if from eagerness or shyness. Probably both.

J: "Really? Is this all it takes to get you embarrassed? This is gonna be fun!"

Jokingly, the doctor punched her arm and grinned beneath her mouth.

M: "Shut up and kiss me."

Jane kissed her more confident than before, pressing their chests together and running her hands all over her back.

M: "It's gonna take a lot of kisses for you to make it up to me."

J: "Bossy. I like that."

M: "Well, I'm just starting..."

Suddenly, much to Maura's satisfaction, it was her friend who got bright red this time. The doctor started giggling with the rare moment.

J: "You're too adorable."

M: "And you're too sexy."

Maura wrapped her arms around her neck and kissed her eagerly. She wanted to make the best of the night and, to do so, she planned on giving Jane everything she might be comfortable with. One of her hands sliding down to her friend's shirt neckline, fighting against the urge to reach for her breasts. When she felt the detective's hand coming in contact with the skin on her back, she realized that Jane was presumably more comfortable than what she was expecting.

A: "Girls!"

Breathless, the two women stopped. Maura was so consumed in lustful emotions that her body and brain didn't have time to process what was happening. All she could think was how badly she wanted Angela to leave so she could close the gap between her and Jane. Meanwhile, the detective looked annoyed, as if throwing a fit.

J: "Ma! Can't you knock for once!"

A: "Well, I guess I'll have to from now on. I'll leave you two at it, and we'll talk tomorrow."

J: "There's nothing to talk about!"

A: "Jane Clementine Rizzoli! That's not how I raised you! If you have a girlfriend, we have a family dinner and make it official. And you make an honest woman out of her!"

M: "Angela-"

A: "It's late, I don't wanna hear it! And you too Maura make an honest woman of her. Now, if any of you hurt the other, you're gonna have to answer to me."

J: "Ma! Just go!"

A: "Ok, I love you too. You better make me proud Janie. I can't wait to call aunt Elisa!"

Jane pressed a hand against Angela's back, blandly pushing her to the door. When her mother stepped outside, she closed it in her face. Maura couldn't stop laughing, watching the two. The Rizzoli's were indeed another breed. And it was all because of Angela...

Still, a bit annoyed, the detective pressed her friend against the counter and held her firmly.

J: "So, where were we?"

M: "Everywhere and nowhere."

Maura got confused by her own words. She wasn't exactly sure what it meant, but they simply flew out. Chuckling, the detective kissed her, almost possessively. Unlike before, their kisses were slow as if they were in slow motion. For some reason, the light strokes from their tongues meeting made Maura even more aroused than earlier. She could hardly feel her whole body and believed it was only a matter of time until her legs gave in. Neither laughed anymore. Their breathing got faster and sultrier.

J: "I-I guess things will go faster than I thought."

Unable to open her eyes nor stop, the doctor murmured something inaudible, completely surrendering to her emotions and bodily desires. Trembling, and gasping louder as Jane's hands slipped underneath her nightwear, wandering painfully slow against her middle skin. Then, they slid upwards, resting just below where her breasts would start. She wasn't touching them yet. Maura understood she was admiring the moment while trying to gain the courage to continue. She bit the inside of her mouth, knowing how close she was. Resting her head on Jane's neck, she tasted the area, not knowing what else to do anymore. She was going to make her hers but not right now. Jane was setting the pace and boundaries, and if they kept going onward, Maura would have to be the first getting taken care of. It wouldn't take much. She was already on edge. The detective inhaled deeply. Her heart and body pounding hard against Maura. Then, she continued.


-The End-
