A/N: Well, I've returned from my travels and spent the week recovering from jetlag! Only twelve weeks until I'm off again!

You know me by now, there's always an opportunity for a spicy scene... and that's exactly what I've delivered. Enjoy!

"Will?"

Startled, Will jumped, wincing as the back of his head hit the underside of the bench.

"Oh shit, sorry!" came the voice behind him, which he now recognised as Jason. "I didn't mean to scare you, I thought you heard me come in"

"All good," Will chuckled, rubbing the back of his head with his free hand as he straightened up from underneath the bench. "I was just grabbin' some more beer, I know my old man keeps a stash down here to go into the cooler. What's up?"

Jason took a deep breath, making his way down the steps and around the end of the workbench until he was able to lean back against it. "I… I know it's been a long time. And things are good. Not just with you and JJ, but both of our families. I just… I can't help but keep thinking about that phone call back in January"

"Jason, it's ok-"

"No, it's not," Jason cut in, lifting a hand towards Will. "It's not ok. I inserted myself into whatever was going on without fully understanding both sides of the story. All I wanted to do was blindly protect my sister. I didn't even stop to consider that in everything that had happened… you were probably hurting just as much she was"

Will sighed, setting the pack of beer down on the worktop behind him and leaning back against the edge of it. "I was. But as angry and upset as I was, Jason, I also completely understood your reaction. You and JJ have always been close. She's always had you lookin' out for her, whether you were in the same city or halfway around the world. And I'm sure when we started datin', you told her you would cap me at the knees if I ever hurt her. I get it. I do. You saw her hurtin', you knew we had fallen out, and your protective instincts kicked in"

"That didn't give me any right to speak to you the way I did," Jason said gently.

"And I also had no right to retaliate by sayin' the things I said about your sister," Will reminded him. "Didn't matter how angry I was at her, I didn't have to throw what had happened back in your face like that"

Jason fell silent for a moment, eyeing the younger man with something akin to curiosity. "How are you so… evolved about this? Feels like yesterday you were so angry that you couldn't even bear to be in the same room as JJ"

Will chuckled, his gaze dropping to the floor momentarily. "A fuck ton of therapy"

Jason couldn't help but grin in agreement. "I feel that"

Lifting his face, Will let out a happy sigh, his face relaxing into a soft smile. "I love her, Jason. So much some days I swear I'm gonna explode. I promise this is it. I'm never goin' to be the cause of that much pain for her ever again"

"You know it wasn't all you, right?"

"Well, I definitely didn't help. Honestly, neither of us helped. We just made it all a thousand fuckin' times worse. But we got through it"

The door to the house burst open and in came JJ, looking harried as she startled the two men out of their bubble. "Hey, you've been gone for ages and your mom is yelling about needing you to help your brother move some tables, what are you doing in here?"

Will immediately plastered on a cheeky grin, lifting up the packet of beer to his right. "Beer"

Rolling her eyes as Jason grinned at his future brother-in-law, JJ beckoned them to follow. "Come on, your mom loves me, but she's getting real close to starting on me instead of yelling at you"

Watching as she turned and disappeared back up into the house, the two men turned to face each other once more.

"We're good?" Jason asked softly. Will smiled, reaching out for Jason to shake his hand.

"We're good"

"You look so beautiful"

The words were whispered in JJ's ear as Will sidled up beside her, one arm going around her waist, his other hand slipping a glass of champagne into hers. They were standing at the top of the yard, which Will barely recognised as his childhood home. Janine and Sandy had done an incredible job of turning it into the perfect venue to host their engagement party. Small bar tables had been set up around the space to allow people to group together in a place they could set their drinks down, with beautiful long white tablecloths spilling off of every single one. Over their heads, fairy lights and lanterns had been strung through the air, creating soft ambient light as the sun began to set. The food was, of course, nothing short of incredible, a product of two days work in the kitchen.

All of it was for them, and they couldn't have been more appreciative of their families for coming together on such short notice to make sure they were celebrated and loved as they deserved.

"You guys look so loved up," came Aly's voice off to their right. "It's disgusting"

JJ laughed, turning to look at her friend who was grinning from ear to ear. "You're just jealous"

"I really am," Aly conceded, getting a further laugh out of Will as she finished her sentence by polishing off her champagne. "You know I'm just teasing. You look happy, and after everything that's happened this year, it's what you deserve"

"Also you are a hot couple," Simone chimed in as she walked up to join the group, Stacey a few steps behind her.

"Thanks?" JJ laughed, shaking her head at her friend. Simone giggled, looping an arm around Stacey's waist as he came to a stop beside her.

"Aunt JJ! JJ!"

Looking over at the exuberant cries of her soon to be niece, JJ set her glass down just in time for Bailey-Rose to run up and throw her arms around her. "Hey B-Rose! Where have you been? Were you playing with your cousins?"

"Yeah, we were playin' tag. I won, I got Samson!" Bailey-Rose replied happily, beaming up at the adults.

"Playin'," Aly breathed with a giggle, before leaning over to Will. "She sounds like you big guy"

Will laughed. "Courtesy of the South, what can I say?"

"Hey B-Rose, I don't think you've met my friends Aly and Simone yet, have you?" JJ said with a smile, gently nudging Bailey-Rose around until she was standing in front of her. Bailey-Rose shook her head, suddenly falling very quiet as she became faced with the prospect of meeting more of her favourite gymnasts.

"Nice to meet you B-Rose," Aly said with a smile, extending a hand to the young girl. "JJ says you do gymnastics too?"

"Yeah. I'm totally better than her," Bailey-Rose said suddenly with a cheeky grin. The adults laughed. "I'm gonna go to the Olympics and win more gold medals than JJ"

"Bring it on kid, let's do it together," Aly exclaimed, holding out a fist for Bailey-Rose to bump. The young girl gladly obliged, grinning as they all laughed at her exuberant nature.

"Have you told JJ off for beating me in Rio?" Simone asked with a giggle.

Bailey-Rose grinned, leaning into JJ's side. "No, JJ's the best"

The adults laughed, JJ shrugging in agreement with a faux smug look on her face.

"Can't argue with that, can you?" Simone laughed. "She certainly is the best"

A clinking of glass stole their attention, the hum of chatter in the yard dying off as everyone turned to look towards Jason, who was standing a few feet away from the couple. He smiled, tapping his fingers nervously against his glass of champagne as he looked out at all the faces watching him.

"Thank you everyone for coming tonight… I know this was short notice, but it means a lot to all of us that you're here to help us celebrate the engagement of JJ and Will. I… I'm not the one who's supposed to be up here tonight, but as circumstances would have it, I've been thrust forward to fill some pretty big shoes," Jason said, a sad smile crossing his face as he spoke. "This past year hasn't been easy. Anyone close to either of our families will know that. There was even a period of time when this wasn't going to happen. But, my mom always says that life has a way of working itself out when something is meant to be and that's exactly what happened for these two wonderful people we're here celebrating tonight"

Turning to face JJ and Will, Jason toyed with the glass in his hands. "What you two have was… written in the stars, I mean… anyone who's known you as long as a lot of these people have will agree. I know how hard it's been, and… I'm gonna sound like Mom-"

A light spattering of laughter filled the air as Jason let out a soft chuckle. "-but I'm so proud of both of you for everything you've worked through, not only this year, but since you became friends all those years ago. You make each other so happy, and I don't think I've ever seen a couple who love each other quite as much as you two do. Watching you both navigate the ups and downs of a relationship over these past few years, and seeing you grow and withstand some pretty unconventional circumstances… it's been pretty amazing to watch. And I know I'm not alone in saying this, but even though you're practically family already, Will, we are so excited for you to officially be part of our family. You're one of the most wonderful, kind, genuine people I've ever met, and you've never shown anything but love and respect for JJ and everyone around you"

Taking a deep breath, Jason lifted his glass. "So thank you all for coming, it means the world to all of us. And let's raise our glasses to the happy couple, JJ and Will!"

"Here here!" Aly hollered from a few feet away, starting off the round of good wishes and happy blessings as glasses began to clink all around them. Beaming from ear to ear, JJ stepped forward, wrapping her arms around her brother's waist in a tight squeeze.

"Thank you Jason," she said softly, getting a tight hug in return.

"I meant every word. I'm really happy for you guys… tonight is going to be a good night"

Hours later, music was thumping and the general level of sobriety had begun to drop. The second neither of them were surrounded by friends or family, JJ had seen a window of opportunity, grabbing Will's hand and tugging him into the house.

"What are you doin'?" Will asked with a chuckle as she pulled him up the stairs towards the second floor bathroom.

"In here," she said, checking behind her to make sure no-one had followed as she threw open the door and pushed him inside. Following him in, she pushed it closed with a loud click, reaching behind her to flip the lock as she smiled up at her fiance.

"I just want five minutes with you," she breathed, leaning back against the bathroom door as she tugged Will down to meet her.

"I can do a lot in five minutes," Will murmured with a grin, leaning down and capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. JJ responded eagerly, looping an arm up around his neck and pressing her body to his, her curves molding to the rugged edges of all his muscles. His tongue slipped into her mouth, eliciting a soft groan from her as one of his hands came to palm her ass.

"God," JJ groaned, breaking away from the kiss. "I'm so fucking horny right now, this is what happens when you get dressed up. I've been thinking about this all night"

Will chuckled, bringing his lips to her neck, grazing them against her soft skin. "Well we might have to sort that out, because stayin' with my parents has the unfortunate downside of everyone bein' able to hear us if we have sex tonight"

"Why are the walls of this house so thin?" JJ breathed, gasping as he suddenly slipped a hand down the front of her underwear.

"Jesus, you really have been thinkin' about me all night, haven't you?" Will teased with a laugh, dragging his fingers easily through her slick folds, stopping for just a moment to circle her clit. "Your panties are soaked"

"We really don't have time for dirty talk," JJ gasped, letting out a breathless laugh as she managed to bring her hands to the buckle of his belt. "Are you ready?"

"I'm always ready for you," Will growled under his breath, lifting her up and turning so that her back was pressed to the wall instead of the door. With one arm, he kept her held securely against him, his other hand hurriedly fumbling between them to push down his boxers. He came free, almost completely erect, but with a few quick strokes, he was able to push into her, pushing her panties to the side as he did.

Biting her lip in an attempt to stay quiet, JJ clutched at his strong shoulders as he set up pace, her body pressed securely to the bathroom wall behind her.

"We're so goin' to get caught," Will said breathlessly, his hips snapping repeatedly towards hers as she locked her legs even tighter around his waist.

"All part of the thrill," JJ whispered, a gasp capping the end of her sentence as Will hit her clit just so.

A loud knock at the door made them both freeze, chests heaving as they tried to stay as quiet as possible. Who the hell was knocking on the upstairs bathroom?

"I don't know what you two are doing in there, although I have a pretty good guess, but people are starting to notice that you're gone," came Aly's voice through the door, and JJ could clearly hear the grin in her voice. "You might want to wrap it up and head back down soon"

"I have no idea what you're talkin' about," Will called back, his voice fighting to stay even. Almost immediately, JJ couldn't help it, the giggles starting to escape even as she buried her face in Will's shoulder.

"And I'm the queen of England," Aly shot back with a laugh. "I'm not judging, you do you, but you've probably got like five minutes before one of your moms comes looking for you. Or JJ's brother. And if he comes looking for you, Will, you're a dead man, despite all those nice things he said about you earlier"

"Ok, we'll be down in a minute," Will called back, trying to fight back a grin as he listened for the sound of Aly retreating back down the stairs. When he was sure she was gone, he looked down at JJ, the two of them unable to help but laugh.

"Classy," JJ breathed through her giggles.

"Better finish what we started," Will said quietly, giving her a cheeky smile as he leaned down to kiss her neck, pressing hot kisses to the creamy skin just below her jaw as he tilted his hips up into her once more. She gasped, clutching at him as he resumed pace, pulling her legs tighter around his waist. His movements were just so that he was brushing her clit with each thrust, pushing her closer and closer to the edge.

"Oh… oh goooood," she gasped under her breath, her toes beginning to curl as her belly began to tighten. "Don't… don't cum, I don't want… the mess afterwards"

"You're killin' me," Will groaned, but he obliged, keeping the pace just enough to push JJ over the edge but keep himself from going over too.

With a shuddering breath and a clench of her legs, her orgasm rolled through her, starting from her core and working its way right to her fingers and toes. Will forced himself to stop moving, knowing it would only push him over if he did, instead bringing a hand between them and gently touching her through the sweet release. With something akin to Herculean force, he slipped out of her, still achingly hard and begging to cum.

"I need to sort this out," he said quietly as he carefully let JJ back down onto her feet.

"Let me," JJ said softly, stretching up to kiss him deeply as she brought a hand to his dick and began to stroke back and forth. His body tensing at the touch, Will groaned into her mouth, before pulling away and biting his lip in an attempt to stay quiet. Half a second later, JJ was dropping to her knees, one hand wrapping around the base of his penis as she took him in her mouth.

"Oh my god," he breathed, bringing a hand to the back of her head. He couldn't help but rock his hips ever so slightly towards her, chasing the sexual high he knew she would be able to bring him to.

And then, perhaps a product of already being so close to the edge, he was cumming, his free hand reaching for the towel rail to steady himself as JJ devotedly took every last drop from him. His head fell back, the hand on the back of JJ's head clenching, his mouth open in a silent moan as the release rolled through him.

When she was sure he was finished, JJ carefully got to her feet, smiling up at him.

"You're amazin'," Will said breathlessly, coming back to his senses and starting to pull his clothing back into place.

"I try," JJ chuckled, stretching up on her toes to give him a kiss. "I love you"

"I love you too," Will said sweetly, reciprocating by pecking her lips. "We better get downstairs. You go first, and I'll be a minute or so behind"

After making sure they were presentable, JJ headed down first, making sure to grab a drink from the table in the kitchen before returning to the backyard. Will was a couple of minutes behind her, catching her eye as he stepped out the back door, unable to miss the cheeky smirk that crossed her face.

Somehow, he had a feeling Jennifer Jareau was never going to stop surprising him.
