- Next chapter! Apologies again on the wait.. but there's some SMUT to make up for it :D

"Jane! Take your hands off the dip." Maura commanded, moving the bowl out of Jane's reach. "There's not going to be any left for our guests if you keep eating it."

"But it's so good." Jane mumbled through a mouthful.

"Well, thank you. But I'd appreciate if someone other than you got to taste it tonight."

Jane rolled her eyes, but then grinned at the blonde across the kitchen counter. She reluctantly stopped picking through the tortilla chips in front of her and came around to stand next to Maura.

"It looks great, Maur." Jane assured the blonde who was fussing with a candle in the middle of the counter. "Besides, it's just my family and Frost and Korsak coming over. They come over for dinner all the time."

"I know." Maura responded, finally leaving the candle alone. "I just can't help being nervous. I mean how often do you tell your friends that you're getting married?"

"Hopefully only once." Jane answered with a grin, leaning down to peck Maura on the lips.

Maura smiled back and pulled Jane to her, wrapping her arms around the brunette's neck. Jane hummed happily as she gazed into Maura's hazel eyes.

"We're getting married." Jane murmured.

"Yes we are." Maura agreed, kissing Jane softly.

They had both agreed on the way home that they would take their rings off for work and hold a small engagement party the next weekend to tell their family and friends. Jane had answered her mother's endless questions about their vacation, but Angela seemed suspicious that she wasn't finding out everything and Jane wondered if her mother could read her mind and already knew.

Just then the doorbell rang and Maura pulled away reluctantly.

"Must be Tommy, he's the only one who still rings the doorbell here." Jane said.

"Be nice, Jane." Maura scolded and Jane made a mock salute once Maura had turned her back. "I saw that."

"What, do you have eyes in the back of your head?" Jane asked in disbelief.

Maura shot her a look as she opened the door and ushered Tommy in. He was shortly followed by Frankie, Frost and Korsak. Angela arrived a few minutes later, to the guys digging into Maura's appetizers and discussing the most recent Red Sox game. She came over to give Jane a kiss and set down a bottle of wine.

"Oh thank you, Angela." Maura replied, taking out a corkscrew to open the bottle.

"Oh you're welcome, I'm sure its not as nice as the stuff you usually have, but I thought I ought to bring something."

The group sat down to dinner and after everyone was served, Angela turned expectantly to Jane. "Aren't you two going to tell us why we're here?"

Jane glanced quickly at Maura and grasped her hand on the table. "Well… Uh. We invited you all here because we have some news to share." Jane began, clearing her throat nervously. "We're getting married."

She looked to Maura who was beaming widely back at her, as the table exploded in noise.

"Congratulations!" Frost and Korsak exclaimed at the same time.

"I knew it!" Angela let out with a deep laugh.

Tommy and Frankie smiled and offered the couple their congratulations, although not with as much gusto as Frost and Korsak.

"Did this happen on your vacation?" Angela asked, reaching across the table for Maura's left hand so that she could inspect her ring.

"Yes." Maura answered. "Jane proposed to me and then I asked her as well."

"Aww, how adorable." Korsak said with a grin.

"You are such a hopeless romantic, Korsak." Jane teased. "It's so surprising you couldn't keep a wife around longer."

"Low blow, Janie." Korsak retorted, pretending to look hurt.

Jane laughed and didn't even remark on the use of the sickeningly sweet nickname her mother used for her.

"Well, it's very exciting." Angela remarked, grinning girlishly as she began to eat her dinner. "So when are you thinking about having the wedding."

"Mmmm, we're not sure." Jane said, swallowing a bite of chicken. "We don't want it to be a big deal so maybe at the end of the summer?"

"What, so soon?" Angela asked, almost choking on the piece of bread in her mouth. "How will that be enough time to plan everything? It's already almost May!"

"Don't worry about it Ma. We'll get it figured out." Jane reassured her mother and the rest of the dinner passed happily as everyone enjoyed the good food.

Jane was in the kitchen with Frost putting the dishes in the dishwasher after dinner. "I am really happy for you two, Jane." Frost said, handing Jane a dirty plate.

"Thanks Frost. You don't think its… too soon?" She asked, lowering her voice so as not to be overheard by the rest of the group in the living room.

Frost looked at her and grinned. "Naw. This was a long time coming. I think you were the only one who couldn't see it." He teased her gently.

Jane hit him jokingly on the shoulder and laughed. "Yeah, yeah."

Jane finished up the dishes and headed back to the living room, settling down on the couch next to Maura.

"So what about your parents, Maura?" Angela asked. "Have you told them?"

"Yes, I called them this morning, with the time difference you know." She explained. "My mother's in France right now, or at least I think she is."

"What did she think?" Angela pressed.

"Sheesh, Ma. Nosy much?" Jane asked, placing a hand on Maura's thigh.

"I'm just interested in my future in-laws!" Angela exclaimed.

"My mother sent her congratulations." Maura replied. "She said that she hoped to be coming through Boston in a month or so and wants to get together to meet Jane then."

"Well, good. We should all go out to lunch. Oh my goodness Jane, have you told your father?!" Angela exclaimed as the thought struck her.

Jane groaned loudly. "Not yet, Ma. I'll do it. Maybe I'll send him a card or something."

"Jane Clementine! Your father deserves more respect than a card!" Angela roared.

"Alright, alright. I'll give him a call or something." Jane muttered, holding her hands up in surrender.

After another hour or so, everyone said their goodbyes and headed out. Jane was washing out the wine glasses at the sink when she felt the warmth of Maura's body at her back. She turned around slowly, placing a hand on each of Maura's hips.

"Hey there." Jane husked, letting her voice drop. Maura grinned at Jane lustily and ran a hand through Jane's hair.

"Hey." Maura answered before capturing Jane's lips in a smoldering kiss. Jane deepened the kiss, squeezing Maura's hips through her dress.

Maura picked up the hem of Jane's t-shirt, her soft hands ghosting over the skin of Jane's lower stomach. Jane tightened her grip on Maura's hips, bringing the blonde towards her. She ran her hands down to the blonde's thighs, over the fabric of her dress, until she got to the hem and could push the lavender material up.

"I would like this dress better, if you weren't wearing it." Jane rasped, pulling back from Maura's assault on her mouth.

"Easily remedied." Maura responded and grabbed Jane's hand, leading her towards the bedroom. "You know if you unzip it on the way, this'll go even faster."

Jane grinned at the blonde and reached forward to unzip her. Maura pulled the dress off of her shoulders and stepped out of it as she made her way into the bedroom. She stood just inside the doorway to the bedroom in only her heels and a matching purple lace lingerie set.

"Does all of your underwear match?" Jane husked, moving quickly towards the blonde and wrapping her arms around the smaller woman.

"Jane." Maura chided. "You should know me well enough to know the answer is yes."

"What about the fuck me heels?" Jane asked, guiding Maura backwards towards the bed.

Confusion flitted across Maura's face. "These are just normal shoes…"

"Well, paired with only lingerie, they take on a decidedly different message." Jane responded, her voice gravelly.

She pushed the blonde onto her back on the bed and Maura let out a yelp of surprise before laughing. "Jane Rizzoli, what has gotten into you?"

"I don't know. Hopefully you, soon." Jane growled as she pulled her shirt over her head and stepped out of her pants.

Maura flushed pink, her eyes blazing with desire. Jane crawled up onto the bed, on her hands and knees above Maura. Maura bit her lip slowly, gazing up at Jane.

"Have I told you how irresistible it is when you do that?" Jane asked.

"Mmm. You may have mentioned it." Maura answered with a slow smile. She started to reach up to brush her hand against Jane's cheek but Jane stopped her, grabbing her hand and pinning it to the bed above the blonde's head. She grabbed Maura's other hand and brought it up to meet the first one, using her hand to hold Maura's arms there. With her other hand, Jane stroked Maura's cheek before running a finger over the blonde's full lips.

Maura moaned softly, keeping her gaze steady on Jane's face. Jane leaned down, kissing Maura deeply before pulling Maura's lower lip between her teeth. She sucked slightly before releasing it and pulling back to look at the blonde. Maura's eyes had closed, but now they flew open again, desire darkening the blonde's features.

"Jane." Maura said simply, but Jane knew what she wanted. Jane loosened her grip on Maura's arms. "Are you going to leave your arms up here?" She asked.

Maura nodded, skin flushing pink. "Yes. I'll be good."

"Oh you will, will you?" Jane asked with an impish grin.

She placed another kiss on the blonde's lips before moving down to suck on her neck. She dragged her teeth against the soft flesh there and grinned at the moan that elicited. She continued sucking for a few moments before pulling back to admire the red mark that was forming there. She moved down Maura's neck, leaving a trail of kisses as she went. She unclasped Maura's bra and pulled the flimsy lace off quickly, throwing it behind her.

Jane pulled a nipple into her mouth, sucking and biting the skin until it was hard under her tongue. Maura moaned loudly and Jane could see the muscles in her arms twitching with the effort of keeping her hands above her head. She grinned up at the blonde and moved over to the other breast, giving it the same treatment. Jane watched as Maura's breathing hitched, her chest rising more with each intake of breath.

Jane crawled back up to gaze into the blonde's face as she ran a finger over the tender skin of her stomach. She placed a soft kiss on the blonde's lips as she dragged her fingernails up Maura's sides. Maura's body shuddered and she opened her eyes to gaze at Jane.

"Jane… Please."

"Yes Maura? Am I driving you crazy?" Jane asked, her eyes darkened with lust.

"Yes!" Maura exclaimed, breathing deeply. "I just… I'm being good." She breathed out.

Jane grinned. "Yes you are. Do you think you should be rewarded?"

Maura simply nodded her head vigorously and her eyes slipped shut again as Jane ran a hand over Maura's stomach and down between her legs. She drew circles with the tip of her finger on the inside of the blonde's thigh.

Maura groaned and hitched her hips up, trying to find contact with Jane's hand.

"Patience, Maur." Jane rasped, moving her hands down each of Maura's legs towards the inside of her knees before dragging her fingernails back up. She hooked a finger under the waistband of Maura's boy shorts and pulled them down, going as slowly as she could manage. Maura arched her hips up off the bed, her fingers grasping at the comforter beneath them. "Ugh, fuck it.' Maura muttered.

Jane grinned, "Language, Maura." But she finally gave in and pulled the boy shorts over Maura's knees and off of her, tossing them on the floor.

She brought her hand back up, running her fingers up Maura's thigh before coming to hover over Maura.

"Jesus, Jane!" Maura exclaimed, her eyelids only half open as if the effort to open them all the way was more than she could manage.

Jane dragged her fingers over Maura's center, keeping her touch light as she positioned her body over Maura's so that she could see her face as she stroked the blonde firmly with two fingers. Maura's eyes flew shut and her face flushed in pleasure as Jane continued stroking.

"Jane." Maura pleaded, breathing heavily. "So close."

Jane acquiesced and slid two fingers inside of Maura, picking up a steady rhythm.

"Maura. Open your eyes. I want to see you come." Jane commanded. Jane could see the blonde struggle to follow the instruction through her haze of pleasure, but she managed it. She blinked quickly, her eyes greener than ever, staring up at Jane. Jane smiled and leaned down to kiss the blonde, never slowing her pace.

Maura was muttering nonsensical words and moaning as Jane changed her speed, forcing Maura to change the thrust of her hips. Jane could see that the blonde was close and felt her walls tightening around Jane's fingers. Jane watched, taking in the beauty of Maura's face contorted in pleasure as her mouth formed a perfect 'O' with the rush of her orgasm. She slowly eased Maura down, leaning down to kiss the blonde's mouth and neck.

"I love you Maura. You know that right?"

Maura nodded slightly, her eyes still closed. "'Course I do." She mumbled.

Jane took in Maura's sex flushed cheeks and her ruffled hair and smiled happily. "You've never looked more beautiful."
