It was Christmas Eve and snow was falling softly over the city. The snow had been falling steadily all day, and succeeded in slowly shutting down the city. Overall it had not been a good day for Agent Seeley Booth. His seemingly simple task of finding a last minute gift for his son Parker had become a grueling undertaking. Fighting through traffic that was moving at a crawl and finding a store that was not utterly sold out of all the decent gifts. It had taken him several hours but he had finally managed to locate a popular game console. While it wouldn't be as cool a gift as the robot Zach had given to Booth for his son, he knew Parker would still love it.

It had been a long day, and Booth said a quiet prayer as he finally pulled into the parking lot of his building. With a little effort he managed to unload the numerous gifts from his truck as he started up the stairs to his apartment.

Upon reaching his apartment he noticed something was amiss. The rock that held the hidden key to his apartment was not in its usual spot, and his apartment door was open a crack. Setting down the bags he was carrying Booth drew his gun from its holster before quietly opening the door unprepared for the sight before him.

Several lights were on in his apartment, music played gently and quietly from his stereo system. His dinning room table, which was usual buried under an assortment of items, was set for dinner. Candles lightly illuminated the still steaming dishes, but it was the sight of his partner Dr. Temperance Brennan that took his breath away.

She was sitting calmly at the table. Her eyes dancing with glee as she beheld the snowy agent. Held daintily in her hands was a glass of red wine which she chose at that moment to take a sip from.

"Uh Bones…what are you doing in my apartment?" Confusion was evident on Booth's face as he mentally grasped for any explanation for her presence in his home. Placing his gun back into its holster he proceeded to remove his coat and shoes as he shut the door behind him.

"It is Christmas Eve Booth. I wanted to give you your gift." Standing up from the table Bones slowly made her way towards Booth. If the special agent had been speechless before he was even more so now. Clad in a pair of soft slippers, and a short red robe.

"Bones…I…uh…don't know what to say. I just finished shopping so I haven't had a chance yet to wrap your gift up." Sweat beaded Booth's brow as he instinctively backed away from his partner while stammering out his excuse. Unfortunately he soon ran out of room as he found himself pressed up against the wall.

"It's alright Booth you can always worry about wrapping my present….later." Mischief lit up her eyes working perfectly with the sultry seductive tone in her voice as she finally stood a scant few feet away from her partner. "Tonight is all about your gift Seeley." Her hands drifted up to her belted robe and with deft skill untied the knot letting it fall to the floor. Underneath the robe she was clad only in a red silk nightgown which served to radiate the beauty of its owner.

Bones smiled seeing the look of desire and lust in Booth's eyes. Stepping forward she gracefully looped her arms around his neck as she leaned in to kiss him. "Temperance….Sweetie….erance you need to wake up."

Groaning in disappointment Bones found herself waking up despite her desires to finish the pleasant dream she was having. The feel of her shoulder being shaken did nothing to alleviate the frustration she felt growing inside. Every time she began to really enjoy a dream she was forced awaked either by her alarm going off, or one of her friendly colleges. It was moments like this that Bones was glad Booth stoutly refused to give her a gun as her desire to inflict retribution upon her waker flickered briefly through her. "Angela I'm awake. You can stop shaking me now."

"I'm sorry honey but the Christmas party has already started, and you promised me last year you would go to the party this year. For the last four years you've kept ducking out of them because of a case or something, and finally come a time when we don't have a case I find you here in your office alone and asleep." Angela hated chiding her friend, but darn it if she was just going to let Bone's miss another holiday party. This was partially fueled by the embarrassment Angela still felt after she had been caught by Cam streaking throughout the Jeffersonian, and she did not want a repeat of last year. "Come on Temperance everyone is going to be there. Even Booth managed to make it."

"Fine, I'll be there." Yawning loudly Dr. Brennan stood up from her desk taking a glance at her clock. Inwardly she hoped she could finish that dream tonight without interruption. She still had the clear image of what Booth looked like the time she had barged in on him while he was in the bathtub, and she was dead set on seeing it again in her dreams. Silently to herself Bones offered a wish up towards Santa as she headed up to the party with Angela.

Please review and let me know what you think. And to everyone out there have a Happy Holiday.
