"Where are we?" Bones asked. Jamie smiled at her husband.

"You're telling me that you didn't know about this?"

He shook his head, "I was told that our honeymoon was planned and nothing more than that. I wasn't gonna argue with him." Jamie smirked and took a look at the PADD in her hand, this whole thing was Trip's idea of a wedding gift.

"We're in Tuscany… Florence to be exact. That building over there is Hotel Loggiato Dei Serviti; it was a monastery a few hundred years ago. That's where this thing says we're staying. Six whole days of just you and me… and maybe we'll look around the city at some point." He kissed the hand he was holding and ran his finger along her engagement ring and wedding band. "Let's go check in. Wanna look around after that?"

Bones shook his head, "Maybe later, darlin'."

After their wedding and reception, Jamie changed out of her wedding dress and into a blue dress that was oddly –but not so oddly- similar. They grabbed their bags, included an extra one that Gaila and Uhura packed for her, "You'll thank us later," then Archer handed her a PADD with a message from Trip –who disappeared during the reception- telling them to enjoy. Bones sucked up his hatred for the transporter again for another beam out. It took Jamie all of five seconds to realize where they were and Trip's message confirmed it. Jamie loved Italy, the school she went to for computer programming, Università di Bologna, was less than two hours north of Florence.

"I think I might actually owe him for this one," Bones whispered to her. The place was gorgeous, just like she expected. They checked in and were led to their room.

"This room is beautiful, the whole place is and check out the view." Jamie looked around but Bones sat on the edge of the bed and watched her.

"I think my view is a bit better than yours, darlin'." She turned and looked at him.

"That so, sweetheart?"Jamie stepped closer to him.

Bones nodded, "Yea." Jamie ran her fingers along his jaw.

"I don't know if I agree with that," she whispered. Bones caught her hand and kissed her fingertips, then the inside of her wrist.

"We'll just have to agree to disagree, Misses McCoy." Oh, she knows that look.

"Len… I realllly like this dress," she whispered as he slowly stood then kissed her neck and along her jaw.

"If you want to keep it, I suggest you take it off." Jamie smiled as she remembered the words from the first time they were together; it seemed like a lifetime ago. In some ways, it was.

"Gimme a hand?" she asked.

Bones smiled as she turned around in front of him. He ran his hand along her waist and up her back before unzipping the dress. Jamie felt his fingers on the newly exposed skin as they let the dress pool at her feet; she didn't get a chance to step out of it because as soon as it hit the floor, she was facing him. Bones pulled her into his arms and closed the distance between his lips and hers; he devoured her mouth, his hands caressed her body. Jamie reluctantly pulled back.

"What's wrong, darlin'?"

She smiled, "You have on way too many clothes, Doctor McCoy." Jamie slowly unbuttoned his shirt and pushed the pale yellow fabric off his toned body and onto the floor. Bones closed his eyes as she ran her hands over his skin, down his chest and to his waistband. Jamie unzipped his pants and he practically kicked them off. He reached his arm around her and unhooked the strapless bra that she was wearing. "Bones," every touch set a jolt of electricity through her. He gently laid her on the bed and Jamie could feel his hands slide her underwear of her body.

She moved to kick her boots off but he stopped her, "I like those, leave 'em on."

Jamie smiled, "I'll have to remember that, sweetheart."

Bones kissed the underside of her jaw, then her throat and then the hollow of her neck. He worked his way down her body, kissing and caressing her skin. Bones pulled her in for a soul-searing kiss as he slowly joined their bodies together. She sucked in a breath then released it as he began sliding in and out of her. The muscles under her hands bunched and shivered. Jamie reveled in the feel of him against her body, his warmth seeping through her. She wrapped her legs around him, pulling them closer.

"You don't even realize how beautiful you are, darlin'," he whispered against her skin. He kissed her neck, "I got you, Jim." His movements brought her closer and closer to the edge. Jamie's heart swelled as the emotions of the last day came rushing through her. This wonderful man was all hers.

"Len," it came out as a sob. Her feelings, their movements, it was all pulling her under. Shivers coursed through her as he pulled her over the edge, Bones followed close behind her. "You okay?" Bones rested his head on her shoulder but kept his weight off of her.

"Better than okay, darlin'," he lifted his head and looked at her face. She smiled at him as she carded her fingers through his hair. "What's that smile for, darlin'?" Jamie closed her eyes/

"You. I'm happy because I get to spend forever with you," she told him. Bones chuckled as he moved off of her to pull her boots off.

"Yes you do." He pulled the blanket over them both and wrapped his arms around her.

"Hey, Bones?" she whispered against his chest.

"Yea, darlin'?"

"I love you." She could feel him chuckle and pull her closer.

"I love you, too, Misses McCoy," he said. Jamie liked being called by his name. They hadn't talked about it yet but Jamie decided that she would keep Kirk for the public and legally carry both names.

Depending on where you were from, changing your name after getting married was a tradition. Where Bones was from, it was usually a given that the wife would take her husband's name. She hadn't told Bones yet but she didn't think he'd mind. So much of her life was on display that she wanted to keep the most important part of it under wraps. She would never deny her marriage if outright asked but she wasn't volunteering information; she didn't get the choice when she was a kid but she had a choice now.

"Stop thinkin', darlin' and get some rest. We are just gettin' started." She smiled and pressed a kiss to his chest. Jamie felt his arms tighten around her as she drifted off to sleep.

AN: The hotel is a real hotel in Florence.
