We've reached the end, finally, and there's about 3 of you left, hahaha. Last chapter.

Jane drove to Maura's, and sat in the car, wondering what she was even doing there. She was pissed. Pissed at her mother for forcing her out of the house. Pissed at Elliot for leaving her before she was ready to say goodbye. Pissed at Maura for...she wasn't pissed at Maura anymore. Not really. She was Maura. The woman she'd pined after for quite some time.

The house was dark. Jane stood on the doorstep as the doorbell rang out across the house. She waited. But nobody came to the door.

She pressed the doorbell again.

And again.

But each time there was no answer.

She headed back to the car, disappointed that now she was finally going to approach Maura with her feelings, Maura wasn't there to receive them.

"Jane."

She stopped halfway down the drive; her eyes landed on Maura's. Her heart thumped loudly in her chest. She opened her mouth to speak but words escaped her.

"What are you doing here?"

It was her turn to speak. The perfect opportunity to tell her how she felt. But instead she opened and closed her mouth a couple of times.

"I'm sorry for saying what I said." Maura sighed, motioning towards the house. "I got sent some beer from a local brewery, they're small, experimenting with different processes. I signed up a few weeks ago, thinking you might be interested. We can taste them together and give them feedback."

Jane nodded her head and followed Maura into the house. She stood on the threshold as Maura's home lit up. The last time she was there was only a few days ago, but it was long enough that Jane felt uncomfortable. So much had happened in such a short space of time.

She followed Maura into the living area and took a seat at the kitchen counter. Maura sat beside her, emptying the contents of a beer bottle into two glasses.

"To friendship," Maura said, her lips a little tighter than usual.

Jane clinked her glass against Maura's, then put it down. She stood up and walked around the kitchen counter. She didn't know where to start, or how to start, but she needed to speak soon.

"I don't want friendship."

Not there.

She sighed, cursing herself internally as Maura's smile fell leaving her looking crestfallen.

"I see." Maura, abandoning her glass of beer, stood up. Her face an image of stoicism. "I think we're done here."

"No, we're not."

She marched forward, cupping Maura's cheeks as she captured her mouth. Using her body to say the words she was too scared to say. Before Maura could respond, Jane pulled back, her hands still on Maura's face.

"I see," Maura said, a crease fixed between her eyebrows.

"I'm not very good with words," Jane said, holding her head steady. She stared into Maura's eyes. "Not unless you're a crim and I need to interrogate you. I love you and I don't want to lose you."

"What about Elliot?" Maura asked, knowing full well what had happened, but wanting to hear it from Jane.

Jane shrugged. "Elliot doesn't matter. She doesn't want me, she's moved on, she's getting married to some woman she knew years ago."

"I know."

Narrowing her eyes, Jane loosened her grip on Maura's face, "How did you know?"

"The woman she's marrying, Jane, that's my friend Helene. The one who is ill. I went to see her at the hospital and Elliot told me how you feel. She said that we should be happy."

"She's right." Jane lowered her hands, trailing them over Maura's shoulders and down her back. "Tell me it's not too late. That I didn't ruin things by rejecting you."

Maura's lips curved upwards. "It's not too late. Helene and Elliot found their happy ending, now it's our turn."

"Even though I had sex in your house?"

"I did say it was okay."

"Yeah but not in your hallway..."

"Wouldn't be the first person..."

Jane raised an eyebrow. "I need to know more."

"Not right now," Maura said, taking Jane's hands and holding them between them. "Right now, you need to show me what you did to Elliot, I want some of what she was having that day."

Standing in the bedroom, Maura stared at Jane, who stared back. She let go of any awkwardness that she felt, closing the gap between them. She pulled Jane into her arms, kissing her until Jane responded and it continued for what felt like a long time. When she pulled back, her breath hitched in her throat.

"Are you sure you want this so soon?" Jane asked, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. She leant back in, capturing Maura's mouth.

Maura purred lightly as she slipped a hand into the front of her blouse and loosened the buttons. She untucked her shirt, only for Jane to slip it from her shoulders.

"I want you," Maura said, pushing her pants down around her ankles and pushing them aside. She gripped Jane's t-shirt, pulling her towards her close enough that Maura could feel Jane's breath as she lifted her shirt up and over her head. She captured her mouth again, pressing her bra covered breasts against Jane's, their bodies almost touching. "I've never been so ready for this before."

"I don't wanna disappoint you." Jane lowered her head, breathing slowly.

"What makes you think you could?" Maura cupped her cheek with one hand, her other hands slipping down between Jane's legs, pressing against the fabric of her underwear. She gasped. "I know you want me too; I can feel it."

Jane leant closer and they kissed again. Maura's fingers trailed across Jane's thigh and up into the waistband in her underwear. She stared into Jane's eyes as she moved down her body, trailing kisses along her neck and down over the fabric of her breasts. Her tongue replaced her lips until she was kneeling on the floor.

"Wait," Jane said, gripping her elbows and pulling her back up to kiss her. "Not like that."

Maura paused, waiting for Jane to guide her, to tell her what she wanted, what she needed. She slipped her hands into the waistband of her underwear and pushed them down, kicking them off her feet as she unhooked her bra.

The sight of Jane's body, naked before her, left her momentarily speechless. She'd seen it, briefly, just a few days before. But now she was allowed to see it, she was being invited into the inner sanctum of Jane's naked body.

"You have very nice breasts," she said, then shook her head, blushing. "That wasn't very sexy."

"It didn't need to be," Jane said, resting her hands on Maura's hips.

She guided them across the room until Jane sat on the end of the bed and Maura stood in front of her, still semi-dressed. She was about to remove her underwear when Jane took control once more, unlatching the front clasp on her bra and sliding her hands down along her hips. She pulled Maura closer. Maura could feel the warmth of her body, with a slight chill from the room. She slipped the bra from her hands, frozen as Jane's mouth enclosed around her right breast. She closed her eyes, resting her hands on Jane's shoulders as her tongue danced across her breasts, teasing her body.

"Yours are better," Jane muttered, still sucking on her nipples, teasing her skin with gentle tugs until Maura couldn't help but moan. She squealed when Jane's fingers gripped her bottom, digging into the soft skin of her buttocks. Maura felt herself stumble forward, landing on top of Jane, her breast still in her mouth.

"Careful," Maura whispered, laughter falling from her lips as Jane's laughter tickled her skin. Maura climbed forward, reaching behind her to pull Jane further onto the bed. She wrapped her arms around her, kneeling up as their bodies pressed together and their tongues slid into each other's mouth. "Is this okay?"

"This is amazing," Jane said, trailing her mouth down Maura's body, then back up again. Maura sighed, allowing Jane to take the lead.

With the slightest touch of Jane's fingers against her panties, Maura let out a loud moan as Jane pulled her underwear to one side, her tongue hitting her causing her whole body to shiver. Maura tried to remove her underwear, but Jane pulled them down, exposing her to the cooler temperatures of the bedroom. Within moments, Jane had guided her onto her side and her mouth continued its work, teasing and touching every inch of sensitive skin. Maura rolled onto her back, lifting her legs over Jane's shoulders.

As Maura lifted her hips upward, trying to meet Jane's tongue, she pulled back, sliding up Maura's body, their skin hot against each other. She closed her eyes, allowing her senses to take control as Jane slid along her body, their nipples brushed against each other. Jane's wet lips colliding with Maura's forcing her whole body to shake. She bit the inside of her mouth, unsure whether she was about to succumb to orgasm, but Jane's mouth on her neck spurred her onwards.

"I've not," Maura whispered, breathing against Jane's ear, as Jane rocked her hips against Maura's, intensifying her responses.

Jane growled, staring deep into Maura's eyes. "You've slept with men; you had that thing in college. Remember what that was like. It's the same, just…different. Less pulling and more…"

Closing her eyes, Maura pushed Jane backwards, silencing her. She pulled her legs back until she sat down. A crease formed between Jane's eyebrows, followed by a smirk. Maura straddled her, slipping a hand between them. She leaned over Jane forcing her to lie down, as her hand teased her skin, dipping in and out of the wet folds of her skin. Jane moaned loudly.

"You like that?" Maura asked, sliding a finger in between Jane's lips, followed by a second. She ground her hips against Jane with every thrust of her fingers, her thumb teasing her clit until Jane started panting, words escaped her.

"Fuck." Jane moved her hips, thrusting to meet Maura's actions. But Maura wasn't finished. She took her hand away. She sat back, analysing the situation, her eyes fixed on Jane's wet thighs. Jane sat up, sighing. "I was so close."

"Turn around." Jane did as she was told. "Get on your hands and knees."

She couldn't see her face as she lifted her body, resting on her hands and knees. Maura knelt up behind her, sliding her body against Jane's as she ground her hips against her back. She reached one hand up to Jane's breasts, trailing across her erect nipple as her other hand slipped in and out of Jane's body, pushing her closer and closer to the edge.

The act of thrusting herself against her, sent Maura's pleasure skyrocketing, so much so that she nearly came from the force of her body against Jane's. She closed her eyes, feeling her way across Jane's skin, slightly damp from the physical exertion.

"You ready?" Maura asked.

"Fuck yes," Jane whispered, grinding her bottom back and forth between Maura's body and her fingers. She rubbed faster, sliding her sopping finger over Jane's clit as she screamed out in pleasure, her whole body jerking until she rested her head against the bed. "God, Maura."

Maura breathed in the breath she'd held as Jane's body spasmed. She sat back, watching Jane turned as she recovered from her orgasm. Her tongue resting behind her teeth as she crawled up the bed towards Maura.

"Lie down," Jane whispered, her voice gruffer than usual. Maura did as she was told. "Get ready to scream."

Just the mere thought of the sexual pleasure she anticipated following made her body tingle, and her juices slide down her thigh. She lay back, closing her eyes, waiting for whatever was going to come next. First, she felt hot breath against her clit, teasing her. Then Jane's tongue circled across her skin, and she thrust her hips up against Jane's mouth quickly slipping into oblivion as Jane took her over the edge.

She fell back, her heart thumping in her chest. She didn't open her eyes, just tried to focus on the euphoria she still felt. The feel of Jane's body resting close to her made her open her eyes.

"Hi," Jane whispered, staring into her eyes, her leg wrapped around Maura's body. "You're sexy."

"Hello," Maura replied, kissing her, tasting the last of her own body on Jane's lips. "You're amazing at that."

"I've had a lot of practice."

"I hope you'll practice some more."

Jane laughed, planting a kiss on Maura's cheek before resting her head against her shoulder. She could feel Jane's body rising and falling alongside Maura's. "Soon. I need to rest a bit first."

"Hopefully not too long," Maura said, nuzzling her face against the side of Jane's head. "I love you so much more after that."

"I always knew you only wanted me for the sex," Jane said, grinning.

Maura sighed, her sigh turning into a moan. "God no. The sex is…euphoric, but I love you for so much more."

"I love you too," Jane said, kissing her neck. Maura lay there, exhausted, as Jane's mouth trailed across her collarbone and her hand trailed down between her legs once more.

"Already?"

"I only needed a rest, not a fucking sleep," Jane said, grinning. "You ready for round two?"

"I'm ready for anything," Maura said, kissing her again, but Jane's tongue was already retracing steps and Maura could barely speak. "I'm..."

"The only time you have nothing to say," Jane whispered against her skin, her tongue sliding her back into intensity. Maura groaned loudly. "Except for that, I love to hear you love this."

Maura opened her mouth to speak, but her breath caught in her throat. She let out another moan as Jane sent her whole body into another orgasm.
