Maura slowed her fingers, riding out the wave with her lover as she buried her head in the pillow, her elated cries lost into the down. As the waves died down, Jane looked at her with heavy eyes. “Please, stay there.” She groaned, pushing herself onto Maura’s hand and moaning softly. “But kiss me.”

Maura’s fingers remained locked in place as Jane’s body tried to relax, every miniscule motion sent her muscles locking again as she hung over the precipice of yet another climax. She moved deliberately as she moved up Jane’s body and capturing her lips in a lazy kiss.

“Oh wow.” Jane breathed softly, her body humming as her lips tingled from the kiss. She wriggled gently; allowing Maura to slide her fingers from her spent and consumed body.

Snuggling close, Maura buried her face into Jane’s neck, kissing the pulse point and noting the hitch in her already increased pulse. The warm taste of Jane’s sweat mingled with her own natural flavour made Maura’s head spin. “Are you ok?” she purred softly, basking in Jane’s high.

“Uh.” Jane could only grunt, even her most basic of vocabulary lost to her as she waited for her eyes to refocus. Maura giggled softly, draping her leg over Jane as she ran her fingers lazily over her exposed chest.

Maura lay contently in Jane’s arms for almost a half hour, watching her breath as her body continued to twitch and recover.

“Jane,” Maura asked as Jane sighed happily. “Can I ask you something?”

Jane turned, her entire being feeling like lead as she grinned stupidly at the doctor. “Yeah.” She yawned. She was shutting down, unable to process the physicality without sleep. “Why don’t you make sounds?” she paused, her brows knitting together as she watched Jane battle with the truth.

“I just don’t.” Jane tried to deflect the question but with her usual reservations obliterated, even she didn’t believe her reply.

“Please tell me?” Maura could feel her own body aching for sleep, despite her previous arousal, Jane’s ***** had drained her of everything she had. There was more than enough time for her to find release. “I could tell you wanted to, but you hid in a pillow.”

Jane fidgeted, turning eventually to look Maura straight in the eye. She took another deep breath before smiling sadly, tears forming in rich brown eyes.

“Because I’m scared I’m dreaming.” She admitted, “And I don’t want to wake myself up and lose you.”

Maura wiped the single tear away before she reached for Jane’s hand, pressing it to her breast over her heart. “Do you feel this?” she whispered, waiting for Jane to acknowledge her question. “This is all for you.” She captured the brunette’s lips once more. “And you will never lose this Jane; it’s always been right here waiting for you.”
