By the end of the summer the renovation of the house was not quite finished, but it was ready to be moved in. The few things which had still to be done, could be done later. Little things like giving the garden shed a make over etc.

It was already late when Jane walked through the house in silence to check up on things. Tommy had spent almost an entire week working on the plumbing and she chuckled when she recalled that there had been aa fight between Maura and him about payment. Tommy refused to take money, stating that it was only fair after they had saved him from prison and Maura who wanted to support Tommy's business insisted on giving him the usual loan. All piping's had been a mess. They had ended up by agreeing that Maura would pay for the material and take the work time as a thank you gift.

When entering Julia's room Jane noticed that her girl had already started moving stuff to the house and she smiled as she bent down to pick up a puppet which had landed on the floor to prop her up against the pillows. Both girls were clearly looking forward to their new home she thought while walking into Sophies room, which was right next to her daughters.

Then she sat down onto the deck enjoying the mild evening and the view of the stars.

They had never really talked about moving in together, but it seemed as this had always been seen as a given to Maura and her. The thing they had started talking about though had been their wedding. Jane scratched her head, not remembering when this or how this had come up. No one had proposed to the other officially. It had probably all started with Maura stating that it wouldn't be nice to invite their family and friends to a housewarming party after moving into their new home. And Jane had probably joked that they could take it as an opportunity to get married.

Maura had agreed and the rest was history.

The brunette looked at the chairs which had been set up neatly in rows with an aisle in the middle by her siblings who had arrived yesterday to help with the preparations. Angela and the rest of the lots had come today. As the guest house wasn't ready, everybody was crushing in hotels which were nearby. Jane smiled and finally made herself move. She was about to meet Korsak and her lots at a bar in an hour to celebrate and have a bachelors party.

Angela was at her flat taking care of Julia and Sophie and Maura was meeting up with Kent, Susie and some of her lots.

The blonde had insisted on the old tradition that the soon to be married shouldn't share a bed the night before the big day and Jane, who hadn't seen Maura all day missed her already. She shot one last glance around the place, at all the boxes which were waiting to be unpacked and all the empty ones which had contained the stuff they would need for their daily life. The beds were made properly. The master bedroom which Maura was forbidden to walk in until it was time to consume their wedding because Jane had decorated it in a special way to surprise Maura.

Another sigh escaped her mouth as she flipped the light button and walked to her car. Her heart was pounding fast and heavy like a drum. Jane Rizzoli who had never thought to ever tie the knows with somebody, let alone to have a long-term relationship was about to get married. And she couldn't wait for the rest of her life to start.

R&I

"Okay guys, I have some rules." Jane muttered after being hugged by everybody after making her way into the bar. The mood was cheerful, and she could see that the boys had had a head start on drinking.

"Uh oh. Sounds serious." Frankie smirked and winked at Jane who tried to put on a stern look.

"First, there's no way I can get drunk too much, second, no games – I hate them, third no stripper."

Frankie's jaw dropped and she held up one hand before he could comment. "I'm serious. Tomorrow I'm going to marry the woman of my life. I want to enjoy this."

"Yeah, dah! But a bachelor party is one of the experiences which belong to the whole thing. One should enjoy that too." Frankie said smartly and Jane rolled her eyes despite seeing his point which was also correct somehow.

Two hours later Jane swayed towards the bathroom, noticing that her plan not to drink so much hadn't worked out so well. But with her brothers and Korsak it had been difficult to resist. The evening was fun, and it was difficult not to get carried away by this event.

After using the toilet, she splashed some water into her face and checked her phone for any messages from either her mother or Maura. Each of the women had written her. Angela had informed her that the girls were fast asleep and Maura that she missed Jane.

A sweet smile spread over the brunette's face and she replied to Maura that she missed her too. Surprised that she received a reply immediately.

You have no idea what I would give to be with you right now, alone! Don't get me wrong, its nice, the people are nice. But still….

Same here. Why don't we just sneak away and meet at our house? Jane wrote having an excited feeling at the words our house. She felt her heart beating strongly in her chest while waiting for the reply.

Have you had your stripper yet? Frankie mentioned taking you to a club…

Jane groaned and rolled her eyes. I'm done, I'm going home. She typed, willing to flee her bachelor party to see Maura who sent a smiley and wrote that she would do the same. Jane recalled the setup in their bedroom and hoped to reach the house before the blonde. Even it was initially planned for tomorrow it would be nice tonight too. Checking her watch quickly she noticed that it was tomorrow anyways as it was half past midnight.

Korsak, Frankie and Tommy were far too emerged into some jokes and drinks to notice how she rushed out of the bar, feeling like a teenager which was sneaking away secretly to meet her lover. Well technically this didn't seem so far away.

She giggled about the situation while grabbing a cab, writing a message to Frankie so that they wouldn't be worried.

When she found the house in the dark Jane felt lucky. She rushed into the bathroom to splash more cold water into her face before opening the door to the bedroom. It turned out that she wasn't so lucky after all with her plan to light all the candles before Maura could arrive, because Maura was already there. And she had already seen the petals which Jane had prepared as a surprise.

The breath caught in her throat though when she saw that the blonde had lit the candles and was already lying in bed, naked. Jane licked her lips unconsciously as her eyes wondered up and down the body of her girlfriend, stopping at the center between the legs.

"Come here." The blonde said in a soft voice, which was already thick with lust. Maura didn't have to invite Jane a second time. The brunette felt her knees become weak at the tone and the surrounding. This had been intended to be a surprise for Maura, but she was probably more surprised herself.

While walking towards the bed she shed her clothes, enjoying Maura's face which darkened with lust with every piece of fabric landing on the floor. Jane still felt a bit drunken, but she couldn't tell if it was still from the beers and shots or from the situation.

Once in bed she knelt over Maura, kissing her passionately, drinking in the feeling of their two bodies melting into one unit. Jane felt the blonde spreading her legs underneath her body and shifted so that they could grind into each other.

Jane felt the sweat running down her back while their bodies moved in a quickening rhythm until they came hard together with Maura screaming her name and Jane giving up a deep satisfied groan. She bent down to kiss her lover again and saw that Maura too had pearls of sweat running down her face.

"Oh god, this was good." Jane stated as she dropped to the bed next to Maura who giggled. This felt so unreal: having rough sex in the most romantic surrounding. So, Jane had to laugh too. She softly led Maura's hand to her mouth and kissed it.

"I'm sorry, Jane." Maura whispered while pulling her hand through her hair.

Jane propped up her head to look into her lover's hazel eyes. "What for?" she asked.

"For rushing through this without a foreplay. I think too much alcohol makes me horny." She giggled. "But might be the overwhelming feelings as well. This is really nice what you did to the room. I love it."

Jane propped her head on an arm after rolling to her side to face Maura. With her free hand she caressed the blondes face thoughtfully.

"Its okay. Same here. So, don't worry. It was really good." Her voice was soft like the touches she gave Maura.

"Are you nervous?" Maura asked and bit her lips. Jane sensed that the blonde was insecure. "Nope. Should I be nervous?" she questioned and chuckled gently.

"I don't think so." Maura replied, blushing slightly and lifted her head to kiss Jane who said: "I don't think so either." Jane said firmly.

The brunette shifted position so that her head rested on Maura's chest Both sighed and Jane listened to the blondes heartbeat until she fell asleep.
