Chapter 3

Maura shows Melinda what she had discovered about Alicia Marsh, as she was reading, something further down the screen caught the ebony ME's eye. She grabs Sherry's file and opens it and scans the notes hurriedly, Maura looks at her colleage quizically.

"Melinda, are you okay?" the honey blonde asks, a bright smile began to spread across Melinda's face.

"Our victim, Sherry Williams was enrolled in something called the Recombinant Tissue Ingestion Research Project, as was Alicia Marsh in 2014."

"What is that?" Maura asks.

"You got me, Maura. I've never heard of a place like this." Melinda says with a shrug.

The two women phone their respective colleagues and inform them of their discoveries.

Fin, Korsak, Amanda, and Jane begin a frantic search for the Recombinant Tissue Ingestion Research Project

Melinda locks eyes with Maura, the rest of the world seemed to fade into the background. Maura studied Melinda's gorgeous face, everything about Melinda's face was flawless. Which is why Maura can't bring herself to tear her gaze from the ebony woman's.

Suddenly, a thought popped into Maura's head.

'I wonder what kissing her would feel like?'

Melinda slid her chair over next to Maura's, this move startles the blonde somewhat.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

Maura blushed as she drops her gaze.

"I-I was wondering if maybe I could...kiss you?"

"I thought you'd never ask, Maura." Melinda replied.

Maura leaned forward and kissed Melinda, the kiss was gentle and sweet. It was memorable like first kisses ought to be. Melinda was surprised at the lingering taste of mint on Maura's breath.

She wondered when Maura had slipped a mint into her mouth. "A little sneaky, eh?" Melinda whispered, Maura smiled and shook her head no before pushing Melinda's chair against the wall.

"I prefer deceptive Melinda." Maura whispered before she moved in for a second kiss, this time Maura's kiss was a heated, demanding kiss that left Melinda out of breath when she pulled back from Maura.

"Come on, my place isn't far." said Maura.

Melinda was already slipping off her denim jacket as she and Maura entered Maura's prestine apartment. Melinda was in awe. By the time the door clicked shut, Melinda was in Maura's arms. They were kissing and moving against each other and it seemed like a slow, graceful and irresistible dance to Melinda. Maura moved Melinda's hands down to her saucy ass, Melinda gave it a little squeeze.

"You're a naughty one, eh Melinda?" Maura giggled a little in response before kissing Melinda on the neck.

"Mmmmm..." moaned Melinda as she felt Maura's hands slide under her skirt.

Slowly Maura removed Melinda's soaked panties and tossed them aside, Maura took Melinda by the hand and led her into the bedroom. Once there, the two new lovers moved towards the bed and let themselves fall onto it. Maura buried her face in Melinda's red silk blouse, causing Melinda to moan softly.

"Please, Maura please, DON'T STOP!" Melinda pleaded.

Maura unbuttoned Melinda's blouse and pulled it off her shoulders, revealing her pink silk bra.

"Oh, Maura, your mouth feels so good against my skin." Melinda moaned.

The two MEs spent the rest of the night extensively exploring each other's bodies.

The next morning, Melinda woke up in Maura's arms, the ebony woman smiled and gently pushed a loose strand of Maura's honey blonde hair out of her face.

"Beautiful." Melinda said softly.

"I could say the same thing about you, Melinda." Maura says, opening her eyes.

Melinda leans down, capturing Maura's supple lips in a sweet good morning kiss, which Maura happily and eagerly returned.

Later...

Maura and Melinda walked into the squad room, both women were beaming and seemed to be in great moods.
