Strings Attached

Chapter 1

Brennan rolled off of him, lying next to him. They stared at each other, heavily breathing, with big satisfied smiles on their faces.

"We have to stop doing this." Booth said, though his tone (and the fact that he rolled on top of her again) making it pretty obvious he didn't mean it.

It's been a little over a week since they started doing this. One night they started talking about the notion of them being in a relationship, dismissing the idea saying that they're complete opposites and would make the other miserable. Though they did agree that the sex would be really, really good. And so they reached the agreement. They can have sex any time they want to as long as it doesn't collide with their work or affects their judgment in any way. Sex. No string attached.

Brennan's hands went to his hair as they kissed deeply, their tongues roaming and exploring one the mouth of the other. Booth leaned on his forearms and angled his head so he could place hot, wet open-mouthed kisses along Brennan's neck. That woman made him impossibly hard; simply kissing and touching her could have him full-on hard. Two fingers along her delicate folds told him that she was hot and ready too.

Sucking below his ear, Brennan took his incredibly hard member in her hand and positioned him in her entrance for the third time that night. With a swift and very smooth movement from his hips, he was in her again. They seemed to fit perfectly. He filled every part of her and she tightened around him in the most pleasurable way there is.

He started moving in her, gaining the sweetest moans and whimpers he's ever heard. Brennan moved her fingers across his back and dug her nails lightly in his now a bit damp flesh. He leaned on one forearm and used his free hand to grab her waist as they kissed passionately, tongues battling.

They couldn't get enough of each other; that became very clear in the short amount of time they had been doing this. Ever since the very first time, it was obvious that there isn't a single better sensation than being with each other. And it wasn't just that way, it wasn't only the sex, it was everything. They seemed to simply get along better. They were a lot more relaxed, they shared and talked more, they laughed a lot.. They were happy.

Brennan met each one of his thrusts with one of her own. Together they created a slow (yet not too slow) and firm rhythm, making the whole thing just oh so good.

Booth met her eyes and they gazed intently at each other. He met her pale blue-gray eyes with his dark brown ones and kissed her, his warm tongue thrusting at the same rhythm of their movements.

Another few, more powerful, thrusts later, they both reached their joint climax, being one once again, breaking the laws of physics another wonderful time. They both knew that this, this, was not string-less sex. They were making love by any definition. But they couldn't say that aloud, not now, soon.

He rolled off of her and pulled her to him so she could rest her head on his chest and put her right leg between his own legs. He tightened his arms around her and kissed the top of her head.

"I don't think I'd be able to stop even if I wanted to." Brennan said in a sleepy voice after they both regained their breath.

"Well then it's a good thing we don't want to." Booth said with a sleepy voice of his own.

"Night Booth."

"Night babe."

"Don't…" Brennan didn't even have a chance to finish the "-call me babe" part as sleep took over her.

Booth grinned to himself, letting the warm arms of sleep wrap around him as well.

Brennan woke up to the sound of her phone ringing and picked it up from her jeans pocket, the jeans that were carelessly tossed to the floor in a haze of kissing and sucking last night.

"Brennan." She answered sleepily, returning to the warmth of her still snoozing partner.

"Dr. Brennan," Came the voice of her new boss, Dr. Camille Saroyan "you told me you're usually at work by eight and since it's nine thirty I was wondering if something happened."

Brenna's eyes widened in shock and she jumped off the bed and wrapped herself in a silk robe. How could this have happened? Her alarm was set to six thirty, just as always.

"I'm sorry Dr. Saroyan, for some reason the alarm didn't wake me up, I'll be there in an hour." Brennan turned around to meet the amused eyes of her now waken up partner.

"It's okay Dr. Brennan. See you later."

Brennan hung up the phone.

"Booth get up, it's nine thirty, the alarm didn't wake us up." Brennan said and started walking towards the bathroom in her bedroom.

"Bones, I got the day off." This stopped her in her tracks.

"What? Why?" He never took a day off for no reason.

"Just because" He shrugged "Now tell Cam you're not coming in today and get back to bed."

"Booth, did you set my alarm off?"

"Me? I'd never do that." He gave her the best innocent eyes he could pull.

"Seeley Booth, did you set my alarm off?" She asked, narrowing her eyes even more than before.

"Of course not." All innocence.

She pulled away the covers and sat in his lap, straddling him with a knee on each side of his hip.

"Booth." She stared down at him, warning with her voice and eyes.

"Bones." He stared up, grinning, and started to untangle the lose tie of the robe on her waist.

She grabbed his hands and applied pressure to his morning hardness with her hips.

"Booth, did you, or did you not set my alarm off?" The warning in her voice remained as she pinned his hands above his head and leaned forward, still applying pressure.

"Maybe just a little." He gave her a guilty smile, but then the guiltiness turned into smug "What'cha gonna do about it Bones?" He lifted his head and kissed her lips quickly.

"You are incorrigible." She laughed and kissed him.

"You didn't answer my question Bones, what are you going to do?" He raised his brow.

"Call Cam and tell her I'm taking the day off." She rolled her eyes at her own surrendering.

"Smart girl." Booth grinned at her "Now let go of my hands and call her."

She did as told.

"Dr. Saroyan I won't be coming to work today." Brennan said, not bothering to greet the doctor. Booth had already taken off her robe and was now massaging her breasts in his warms hands, brushing over her nipples with his thumbs and grinning like he was a kid who just received his favorite toy.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I'm not coming to work today. I realized that if I'm too tired to hear my alarm, I'm too tired to concentrate on work."

Booth pulled her to him and started placing kisses on her neck, sucking at her pulse spot.

"Don't you think that's a bit unprofessional Dr. Brennan?"

"Unprofessional?" Brennan's eyes widened in shock and she accidently pinched Booth's nipple.

"Ow!" Booth whispered loudly.

"Sorry." Brennan whispered back and leaned down, kissing his aching nipple "For your information Dr. Saroyan," She said with a firm voice "the work of an anthropologist needs to be done very carefully and if I'm not able to concentrate enough due to my tiredness, I'm not able to do my job in the best way possible, which is also the only way I'm willing to do it. I'd appreciate it if you don't question my professionalism ever again. Thank you." Booth ran soothing hands down her arms and back.

"Okay. I'm sorry Dr. Brennan; I didn't mean to hurt you. In the future, please tell me in advanced if you plan on taking the day off. Thank you." With that Cam hung up.

Brennan put the phone on the nightstand with a sigh "I don't like her." She said with another sigh.

"I know babe, but she's really great once you get to know her." He hugged her.

"Booth!" She pushed him back enough to look at him "You're supposed to be on my side!"

"I am on your side Bones;" He kissed her "and if I'll have to choose, my decision will always be you, but this is the situation and we should just try to make the best of it. I know Cam, she's a good person, you two just need some time to get to know each other, and then you'll each grow to terms with the other. You'll need to compromise, give and take, but it's worth it." He finished with another kiss.

"Fine, I'll try to work this out with her."

"Promise?" Booth grinned at her and she wasn't able to suppress her own smile.

"Promise." She rolled her eyes and leaned down to kiss him.

They kissed heatedly, tongues swirling together, their hand entwined near Booth's head. Brennan leaned slowly down his shaft, taking him in inch by hard inch, and they both moaned with pleasure, neither of them knowing whose moan was whose since they were swallowed in the other's throat.

Together they set a pleasurable pace, him meeting each one of her down thrusts with an up one of his own. She put her hands on his chest, resting each one on his Pectoral muscle. He put his hands on the small of her back, encouraging her to remain with her lips attached to his.

They both neared the anticipated climax. She removed her lips from his and trailed a line of kisses from his cheek to his neck to where it met his shoulder and sucked there, letting her tongue dart out to taste his warm flesh. He was sucking below her ear, tugging her earlobe gently with his teeth. In unison, they both looked at each other deep in the eyes and neither could help but coming, hard, in the other's hands.

He groaned and she moaned and they met each other for a satisfied and sweet kiss as waves and aftershocks from their joint orgasms came through them.

"Breakfast." Brennan said with a tired voice after they both began breathing normally again.

They spent the rest of the day together, eating, sleeping, watching movies Booth claimed it was simply unacceptable she never saw, and of course, making love. Neither of them noticed just how much what they had was nothing like simply having sex, simply being fuck-buddies, they were in a relationship, and it felt so comfortable and great. Simply wonderful.

First chapter! Yay!

Please please please review this chapter or the story when you finish reading it. I LOVE reviews and of course read each one and reply to them all.

P.S. I have no problem with Cam, really, but I did at the start of season two, so this is my tiny little payback. Generally she's great, no problem here.

Thank you for reading, hope you enjoyed and please continue.

Love you boneheads, Silver
