A/N: Well, this turned out a little better than I expected! My muse came back to give you all a longer epilogue. I hope you enjoy!
Maura was besides herself. This had never happened to her before, not when it came to Jane. It was her ability to know her love so well that had gotten them to this momentous occasion. How could her instincts let her down now?! Of all days?!
What had Doctor Maura Isles, Chief Medical Examiner of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in such a tizzy, you ask? She had no idea what to get the love of her life for their one year anniversary. Yes, Maura Isles was somehow out of ideas of what to get her detective!
It had been the best year of her life thus far and, unfortunately for the doctor, she had used up her best ideas while courting her love. Damn Jane for being so stubborn that Maura had had to whip out the big guns just for her pigheaded detective to notice that the doctor was in love with her!
Not to say that the effort hadn't been worth it. The relationship that they had built was something that Maura could never regret. The coming out process had not been easy for Jane but, with Maura by her side, they had done it together. All their family and friends had come around eventually and once their support network was on board, life had been good.
Of course, they had their trying cases and Jane, badass detective that she was, would never stop risking her life to save people or bring justice to those who needed it, constantly keeping Maura on her toes, but she would never want to change Jane. She loved the stubborn, reckless detective more now than she had ever before.
So it was with a frantic mind that she now was stressing herself out on what to give her detective to symbolize their love. Not just their love, but the best love that Maura had ever known and never thought she would find. Why was her brain failing her now?!
And Jane hadn't helped with the doctor's stress levels. Her detective kept alluding to the amazing gift she had gotten Maura which only caused the competitive doctor to beat herself up more for not knowing what to get Jane for their one year milestone. If Jane could find the perfect gift, why couldn't she?!
With a heavy heart and almost on the brink of hysterical tears, Maura made her way home after work on their anniversary, sure that Jane would be completely disappointed in her, possibly enough to leave her. If the doctor had been in her right mind, she would acknowledge how ludicrous that idea was but at the moment, her right mind had been lost somewhere about a week ago.
As Maura pulled her Mercedes into their driveway, she gripped the steering wheel until her knuckles turned white when she saw Jane's cruiser in the driveway already. The lights were on in the house and Maura could just make out what sounded like a low bass drum coming from their home. Jane had gotten home early to prepare for their night and here Maura was showing up empty handed. The doctor released her death grip on the wheel as she let out a silent sob at her failure. She allowed herself to wallow a bit longer but was eventually pulled out of her misery for a brief moment when her phone chimed, indicating she had a text from her love.
You coming in, or are you just going to make me bring your surprise to you in our driveway? ;-P -J
Maura couldn't help the small rise to the corner of her mouth at the cheekiness of her Jane. Her love had shown her over the last year just how silly she could be when she was completely herself. Maura loved every minute and decided that she would own up to her failure later. For now, she would let Jane have her moment.
Wiping away the few tears that had slid down her cheeks and taking several cleansing breaths, Maura finally left the sanctuary of her car and made her way to their home. She was in no way prepared for what she was about to find.
R&I
Jane had been planning this particular treat for months. After all the wonderful things Maura had done to woo her, the detective knew that she had to pull out all the stops for their one year anniversary. Her doctor had brought out a side of Jane with the sheer power of her love that even she hadn't known she possessed and she was a better woman for it. Everyone noticed the change in Jane and commented on how good the doctor was for her.
Now that the day had arrived, Jane sensed an uneasiness in her love and was even more resolved to carry out her plan. She had rushed home early to make sure everything was just right and changed into her outfit. Jane was nervous but knew that it would all be worth it just for Maura's reaction.
When she saw Maura's car pull into the driveway, the detective had cranked on the music and started getting into the mood. However, when her love had not appeared in the doorway, she knew something was off and had peaked out to see Maura crying. It had broken her heart and nearly made her abandon all her plans just to run to her doctor and fix whatever was causing her love to cry. However, she decided to see if she could salvage the night with her patented humor and charm. Luckily, it had worked and as she watched Maura leave the car and make her way to the door, Jane knew that this was the moment of truth.
Time to put my money where my mouth is, Jane thought as she took off her robe and turned to the opening front door, pressing the remote on the stereo to restart the song that would be the soundtrack to their evening.
R&I
Maura stopped dead in her tracks when she saw her detective, jaw hitting her chest at the sight before her. It took her several seconds to process what was happening but by that point, Jane was already stalking toward her, hips swaying deliciously in a sexy lingerie set that the doctor had never seen before but hoped she would be seeing much more often.
"Maura, you've kept me waiting. Pick your jaw off the floor and come have a seat," Jane rasped seductively as she led the doctor to a chair that had been put in the middle of their living room, Maura only now noticing that their furniture had been rearranged to leave ample space around the chair. It was as she was gently pushed into the seat that Maura registered the song on their stereo.
Girl you looks good, won't you back that ass up?
Yous a fine looking woman, won't you back that ass up?
Before she could question Jane on why she was playing this sexist song, her vision was full of a well defined ass that she had worshiped on many occasions. Her jaw found its new home against her chest again as her detective began to work her butt in what the doctor could only describe as a gyrating way that was alluring yet felt wrong somehow.
Jane must have practiced this because she was able to isolate her movements in a way that had her derriere bouncing just right and Maura couldn't help but reach out and touch. She was disappointed when her hand was knocked away and her detective looked at her sternly, yet with a seductive smirk as she chastised her.
"No touching, doctor," came the coy admonishment. Maura felt the pout on her lips before she could stop herself and Jane chuckled as she stepped away, never stopping her booty shaking and said, "yet, baby. No touching, yet."
This brought the doctor more joy than she should rightfully feel without being ashamed and the beaming smile that took over her face brought a reciprocal one onto Jane's, only arousing Maura more than the vision of Jane in the sexy outfit, moving so enticingly. Maura finally found her words and asked what had been plaguing her mind.
"Jane, love, what on earth are you doing?" Her detective paused for a moment before she gave a sort of shrug and kept up her movements.
"It's called twerking, Maur," she said as she stepped back closer to the doctor in the chair, giving her quite a spectacular view of some of her more intricate movements. Maura was highly impressed but still confused by why Jane was conducting this particular dance.
"Okay...and why exactly are you doing it?" As a look of hurt began to morph Jane's seductive smile, Maura rushed on, "not that I am not thoroughly enjoying every second. Please do not stop, Jane, but I am beyond curious as to what brought this about?" The words almost ran together in her attempt to explain herself so that Jane wouldn't stop this activity that had her dripping in her chair.
The hurt evaporated quickly and the confident swagger that never failed to make Maura wanton showed in spades as Jane turned and straddled the doctor in her chair. Her hips were now grinding against Maura, her firm cheeks strategically placed over the dripping heat of the doctor. Maura couldn't stop the moan that escaped as her eyes rolled back in her head at the action.
"Well, doctor, you started all this with your mating rituals. What better way to celebrate our anniversary than with another one?" Jane asked smugly, never stopping her movements that had Maura practically vibrating with desire.
The doctor swallowed thickly before she could think of a suitable response. It was very hard to think right now, all the blood rushing to her hardening nub and producing moisture on her thighs.
"Twerking is a mating ritual?" she managed to eke out of her suddenly dry throat.
Jane threw her head back as she laughed, revealing her slender neck that Maura couldn't help diving into, kissing the olive skin she found there that smelled like lavender and Jane. Her detective moaned as she ground down more firmly on Maura's lap.
"So I've read," Jane gasped out as Maura nipped at the throbbing pulse in her detective's neck. Well, the doctor could attest to the fact that this 'twerking' was very effective if the state of her panties was any measurement.
"I am very curious as to the source that-" Maura began before her lips were captured in a searing kiss that took her breath away.
"No more talking, Maur. Like you told me that second first night in the love hut, let me take care of you," Jane interrupted their kiss to whisper before plunging back in to possess the doctor's mouth.
Yeah, ok, Maura could get on board with that. She loved when Jane took care of her. And her detective kept her promise, as she had since the day they became best friends and for the last 365 days of their relationship.
Maura felt loved and wanted like no one else had ever shown her. The doctor also completely forgot the stress of not knowing what to get her detective. As Jane reassured her hours later when the couple came up for air, they would never be celebrating their anniversary if she hadn't decided to give Jane that wooden spoon.
