A/N: I do not own any part of Bones or Fox

There was a definate storm brewing. Walking outside you could feel the static charge in the air. Newscasters were explaining emergency procedures and the National Weather Service was issuing alerts left and right.

Brennan was wearing the lightest clothing she had. Some old workout shirts and a tanktop. The fans were circulating the air around but it still wasn't cool enough. She had the tv on the local news channel, they were discussing the incoming line of thunderstorms. Sure to bring at least 6 inches of rain and heavy winds. She was melting on the couch. Well she knew that was a bit dramatic but she was definately hot. She heard a knock at the door. She got up and looked through her peephole to see her partner leaning in the doorframe. She unslid the deadbolt and let him in.

"Hey Bones. I brought ice cream. Figure you'd be hot." He pulled a paper bag from behind him.

"What kind?"

"Chocolate."

"Oh, thank God. And I only mean that metaphorically." She said as she took the bag. "So what else brings you here besides ice cream."

"There's been a few more developements in the case." He said as he sat on the couch watching the latest weather developements on the map. A big red splotch was over DC indicating extreme weather.

"Did you talk to Lyndsay's boyfriend?"

"Yup, he said that he was with friends that live outside of town that night. I still need to check that out. I think he's telling the truth. Something about her friend Jess though. There's just something off there." The lights started to flicker. "Bones I'm thinking there's going to be a very good chance of us losing power."

"Yeah I'm gonna get some candles and lighters while we still have power." She went to her bedroom to scrounge for materials. Booth was staring intently at the screen watching the meteorologist track the storm path. Shelter locations were scrolling at the bottom of the screen along with a number to call to report damage. She reappeared with an armful of candles and two lighters.

"I've got a flashlight or two too so i think it'll be ok." Outside thunder rumbled and the wind started to pick up.

"Well at least all those storm trackers are right..."Booth said as they both looked out side. Lightening lit the sky showing the treelines and buildings. The lights in the apartment flickered again.

"I hope this storm cools us off." Brennan said. She glanced over at Booth. He was wearing miminal clothing too to beat the heat. He had on a thin white tee and his jeans. She saw the curve of his pectoral muscles under the shirt and a line down the torso indicating the presence of finely sculpted abs. She knew that she shouldn't think of him in that way but she also knew that she was a woman. A woman with needs. And he was a man with the solution. A very handsome and impressive man indeed.

"Yeah. Its been...hot." Booth said unsteadily. He was looking at Brennan's legs. Long, smooth and begging for some company. His mouth got dry. He assessed the rest of her. Curves that could make a man cry and her mouth. Curved so softly and perfectly formed for his. Suddenly the electricity moved from outside to inside the apartment. "So...hot." he added. He inched closer to her. She turned to face him and gazed at his mouth.

"The tension was...unbearable." Booth stared into her ice blue eyes that looked heavy with lust, was he imagining that?

"It's been so long without a break..." He said heavily. Lightening shot across the DC sky and lit the apartment again in a white wash. The lights flickered one last time then went out completely. It was quiet and the only sound was the rain hitting the windows steadily. Booth took hold of Brennan's hand. "And I ain't talking about a thunderstorm." He finally said. There was a pause between them. He was hoping he didn't come on too strong. Suddenly Brennan had her other hand on the small of his back.

"Nor was I..." He closed the gap between them with a long kiss. His mouth was so hot compared to her cool one. She tasted faintly of chocolate ice cream. As if this woman couldn't be anymore irresistable, he thought. They finally broke apart.

"Hey Booth..."

"Yeah?"

"I just noticed that the power is out." Booth grabbed her again and pulled her against his body and kissed her again.
