A/N: Just as a warning Brennan is a bit out of character in this story, Some will find that her genius is down played. Also as this is kind of a future established relationship fic we are counting on the fact that Brennan's emotional state will have developed farther, so yes she is more emotional than you have seen her in the show.

"1:14 am. What am I doing? I should've just told Booth. The FBI can offer protection for Booth and Booth wouldn't let me out of his sight." She let out a loud sigh and stared of into space. A little later she glanced at the clock. "1:24 am. Wow... Ten minutes... and I didn't come up with any solution... My dad would tell me to focu..." A small smile creeped on her face. "He could help me..."

She thought about that possibility and was startled when the phone rang. Before she answered she looked at the clock again. 1:49 am.

"Hello?"

"It is not because it is the middle of the night that I can't hear you, so you better forget about your little plan to inform your father or Booth. Now because of it, I'm going to lay down the law. You listening?" His voice was harsh, cold and determined.

She swallowed. She was dumbstruck. How the hell does he know about THAT? There is only ONE explanation... He has little devices hidden in my office, maybe even the lab. If he can get in here, he can get to me everywhere. "Yeah... I'm listening."

"You are MINE. From now on you will reject every attempt he makes to make love to you. You understand?"

"No, he'll know that there is something wrong. I've never rejected him..."

He interrupted her.

"Everything happens eventually... Turn him down or I will kill him. Remember I am watching you. Don't let him have you ever again... You are mine, remember?"

When she didn't answer he spoke up again.

"You've been a good girl. Go home, Temperance..."


Booth was sitting on the couch. The TV was still playing but he was paying no attention to it. All of his attention was on the cellphone in his hands. It was 2: 12 am. 2:12!!!! She must be really pissed of at me this time... God I hope it's that... Maybe she's hurt or kidnapped, or maybe Ortez decided to go after her or maybe... His head snapped up when he heard the key in the lock. "Bones?" He immediately pulled her to him, the moment she set foot inside of the safety of the apartment.

Still reeling from the phone call, she greedily accepted his embrace and returned it.

"Are you okay? I was so worried about you!" He tightened his grip on her as his hands wandered over her form, looking for injuries.

"I'm okay Booth..." She knew he was worried. She just wondered if he was worried enough to not get mad at her.

"I'm sorry about earlier Temperance... I shouldn't have asked.. It IS your office... If you need to lock the door, I get that..." He didn't. And it sure as hell hurt, knowing that her door was locked, even for him. But he could understand her need for some privacy.

When she felt Booth's intense grip on her, she knew she had to comfort him or he would feel like this when he went to bed and she knew he would have nightmares about it. So she softly whispered: "It's okay Booth... I know you're sorry and I am too... I had no reason to snap at you the way I did. Can you forgive me?"

Booth kissed her and forgave her in the sweetest way known to men.

Craving the comfort and forgiveness he was giving her, she kissed him back. As she felt Booth deepen the kiss and practically felt the heat coming from him, she knew what he was aiming for. Making love. Exactly what she couldn't do right now.

When they broke apart, Booth grabbed her hand and tried to coax her into the bedroom. When she didn't move, he looked back at her. "Umm, Bones? Care to continue this in the bedroom? You know where our bed is?" He suggestively wiggled his eyebrows. He was surprised when she shook his head.

Seeing the surprise and confusion on his face, she spoke up, desperately searching to give him a good excuse as to why she was refusing him."Booth, I... I... I'm having my period."

He walked back to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "When has that ever stopped us?"

"Booth, come on," Brennan said, however she did not pull away from him. "Not tonight okay? I'm just not up for it."

"Okay... I'm sorry..." His hands started to wander over her lower back, trying to sooth away the pain. He leaned in closer to her ear, while he resumed the soothing motion of his hands, he whispered: "We won't make love... But at least let me show you how much I love you..." He gently picked her up in his capable arms and walked them to their bedroom. He sat on the bed and sat her down in his lap as he kissed her. "Where does it hurt?"

Brennan giggled lightly and the sweetness of his actions allowed her to momentarily forget her fears in Booths arms. In the back of her mind however, she remembered the man's warning. "Booth I'm not injured," She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer to her. "I'm just tired...that's all."

He walked to the bathroom and came back with her nightgown. Brennan expected him to hand it to her so she got up and held out her hand for it. Booth however, draped it over his shoulder and walked over to her. He shook his head as he approached her. As he started to unbutton her shirt he spoke up. "Let me..."

Brennan chuckled lightly and shook her head, her eyes smiling at him. She tried to speak in a stern voice, however she wasn't able to keep the amusement from her tone. "Booth I am perfectly capable..."

"Let me take care of you Temperance." Any further protest was muffled by his kiss. Once he was done with unbuttoning her shirt, he gently slipped it of her shoulders and dropped it to the floor. His hands wandered lower to rest on the top of her jeans. He unzipped them and slowly peeled them off of her legs. Once they were around her ankles, he lifted her ankles to remove her jeans. He stood back up and threw away her jeans. " Turn around." Once she was facing away from him, he gently unclasped her bra and removed it. He nuzzled her neck as he briefly cupped her full breasts. The moment was brief and sweet. Booth took extra care to make it less arousing than usual. "Raise your arms." As she did, he slipped the nightgown over her head and said: "Now was that so bad, Temperance?"

"I suppose not." She tried fighting the smile that was spreading across her face for a moment before giving in to it.

"Let's just rest. Lay down."

Panic began to rise up within her as she hurriedly spoke, "Booth...I...I thought umm...I...I'm tired Booth. I just I...." Frustraited that she couldn't seem to speak in full sentences she paused letting out a sigh. "I can't." She pulled away from him as she said the words, willing him not to be as hurt as she knew he would be at her words.

"I didn't mean that... Trust me... You'll see..." His intense gaze pierced into hers. Asking her to trust him and lay down next to him.

She succumbed, she could always trust Booth at his word, and laid beside him, laying her head on his chest and wrapping her arm around his torso. "Okay." She said simply, not that he needed a verbal response.

Booth put one hand on the small of her back as he slowly turned her on her back and placed his other hand on her lower abdomen. "Close your eyes."

He gently started to rub soothing circles the best he could with both hands. He felt her turn into pudding in his hands. A few moments later, she was sound asleep in his arms.
