Here's Chapter 2 folks. I hope you enjoy as April 14th creeps closer at a snail's pace.

'M' Rated parts folks.


At 11:30, Jessica at the dining room table taking notes for her dissertation research while the last of her laundry was in the dryer. Usually, she gave this laser focus, but this morning she couldn't as her attention kept wandering.

Aubrey was right when he said she looked tired. However, she wasn't too tired to not notice him checking her out. It took all she had not to jump over his desk and make out with the man. However, it didn't stop her from thinking about it.

Jessica walks into his office wearing a dress, her sexiest lingerie, and black heels before immediately locking the door. Aubrey immediately comes from behind the desk to greet her in an embrace. She would respond by gently nibbling on his ear, something she knew the agent loved.

After quickly taking off his service weapon and jacket, she would loosen his tie and they would remove it together before she unzipped his pants. Quickly walking her backwards to the desk, he would dramatically sweep the items to the floor before picking her up and putting her on the desk. Making out for several minutes, his hand would move her dress up to her waist before attempting to remove her panties. When he couldn't get them off fast enough, he would rip them open in a pique, pull down his pants and boxers, and plunge inside of her.

Their coupling would be fast and lustful. When it was over, they would smile at each other with a promise of things to come.

BUZZZZ!

Jessica was startled by the dryer buzzing. Feeling flushed, she looked at the table again and scrunched her face before shutting her book with a flourish. "Enough is enough."

She got up and walked to the laundry room where she grabbed her clothes. After folding them, she walked into the downstairs bathroom and retrieved her lingerie, including her new items from Victoria's Secret. She maxed out her VS Angels card last weekend, but Aubrey's reaction to her new push up bra last night made it all worth it.

Taking them into her living room, she started folding them as she remembered back to the previous evening.

Jessica only meant to give him a few kisses, but Aubrey dragged her into his lap. Next thing she knew, they were all over each other. After Kristi came home, he pulled back from her, saying that it was late. Jessica figured it was because the mood was broken or he wasn't ready yet.

But was he ready? Was she ready? Or were they both just really horny? One thing she knew was they turned each other on and coming together would be explosive.

Maybe she just needed to take her cue from Aubrey because she was certain he would tell her when he was ready. No way would she push him before he was prepared to be fully intimate. She couldn't lose her best friend because to be separated from her Superman would be to lose a part of herself.

But…if they want to fool around from time to time, no harm in that.

Her decision made, she finished folding before heading to the kitchen to prepare lunch. First she checked on the homemade pasta sauce she was making for lasagna simmering on the stove. She knew Aubrey would be starving by the time he got home and how much he loved her cooking.

She then turned on the oven before grabbing ingredients to make chocolate chip and sugar cookie dough for cookies later. Daisy was providing all alcohol for the party but Jessica, Dr. B, and Andie were providing food for tonight. Angela and Hodgins donated hot sauce for everyone since they weren't able to attend.

Putting the completed dough in the fridge, she stopped when she saw four cans of Vernors' Ginger Ale. She remembered telling Aubrey three weeks ago about how she loved the stuff when she attended Michigan State. While other ginger ale was available, this stuff was the best, bar none.

Not easy to find outside of the Midwest, she knew Aubrey must have done a lot of searching in stores and the internet to find it. Touched that he got it for her, she shut the fridge door and got a vision.

Jessica was making dinner in the open kitchen when Aubrey walked in the front door. Walking up to her, he came up to her from behind, put his arms around her and nibble on her neck. "Hello."

"Hi yourself." She purred as she felt his hand go under her shirt and up to her breast.

Before she knew it, he whipped her around and they engaged in a hot kiss. Suddenly, he picked her up and placed her on the kitchen counter. The couple started to make out heavily when his hand went up her skirt.

BEEP!

BUZZZZZZZZ!

"Ugh!" Jessica growled, her second Aubrey fantasy interrupted, this time by simultaneous beeping of the oven and buzzing of her phone. Looking at the oven, she saw it was to temperature. Satisfied, she peeked at her phone and was happy to see it was Aubrey.

Finally leaving. Karen found me in prkg garage. Talked ear off. ETA 40 min w snow.

The redhead felt a wave of nausea in her stomach at the mention of the BRIU analyst. She met Karen a couple of weeks after the bombing and immediately picked up on the other woman's interest in her Superman. Today, she caught her hiding in the hall as she stepped out of Aubrey's office.

Logically, she knew Aubrey wasn't interested in her. More than once, he told her that analyst was good at her job but was weird and annoying. Emotionally, Jessica wanted to rip the bitch's fake red hair out one strand at a time. If she ever found out that Karen made a move on Aubrey, she might go after her with the lab's bone saw.

Pushing the twit out of her mind, Jessica walked to the large backyard window. Observing the heavy snow and blowing winds, she hoped Aubrey would be home sooner than later. She wasn't even sure if she wanted to go to Daisy's, but she was making food for the party and other guests needed to eat.

Shaking off her concern, she concentrated on lunch. After putting the lasagna together, she put it in the oven and set the timer. When done, she prepped the ingredients for the vegetable pizza for tonight's party.


Aubrey arrived home around 12:45 PM. After he changed, the two enjoyed her lasagna, but soon got involved in an important debate.

"No way, Superman. No way in hell." Jessica said as she drank her Vernors.

"Uh, yeah way. Acropolis Pizza in Syracuse is the best. Greek-style and it got me through many nights studying for finals." Aubrey countered, noting that she was enjoying the ginger ale he tracked down for her.

"I'm sorry, Aubrey, but East Lansing has the best pizza with Georgio's on Grand River. They fueled me whenever I had to study for a test, and they had Greek style, too."

"Syracuse kicks MSU's ass anytime." Aubrey said.

"Really?" Jessica said. "I didn't see the Orange during March Madness last year."

Aubrey squinted his eyes. "Very low, Jess."

"Well, green and white trumps orange every time, Agent Aubrey. Now, let's finish eating and watch movies. I think we both need a lazy day."

A few minutes later, as Aubrey watched Jessica clear the table, a warm feeling set inside him.

'How nice would it be to enjoy every day like this in our home.'


At 4:30, the two were sitting on the couch sitting on the couch laughing their heads off as Hosehead the Dog saved the day in Strange Brew. Jessica's legs were draped across Aubrey's lap with their arms around each other. The redhead looked at the clock and noted the time. She was very content to be curled up with Aubrey, but they had plans.

"Aubrey, we have to get ready to go."

The agent, comfortable with a warm Jessica next to him, groaned. "Do we have to?"

"Yes. People are still attending and I'm making some of the food since Daisy's culinary skills…are challenged."

"Hey, I ate her pigs in a blanket from Christmas. Speaking from a man who loves food, challenged is being polite."

Jessica giggled as she was getting up. "I know, I know. Come on, Agent Aubrey. I'll grab my stuff and use the spare bathroom upstairs so you can get ready in yours."

Aubrey grabbed her arm. "No, you can have my bathroom. I'll take that one. Crap! I forgot that drain has been plugging up lately. I'll just use the downstairs one."

"Superman, your clothes are upstairs."

"I hid my clothes today in Booth's old man cave so they wouldn't be covered in cat fur and it doesn't take much to bring my electric razor down. You're my guest. I insist."

'Superman is such a gentleman.' Jessica thought before getting up. "Okay. Let me get my stuff and I'll head up. Thanks."

Aubrey watched as she grabbed the black garment bag hanging over the chair. "Is that your outfit for tonight?"

The redhead turned before going up the stairs. "Yes. I picked it up when I went shopping with Andie and Daisy last weekend."

Unzipping the dress, she pulled it out and showed it to Aubrey. It was knee length, short sleeved, and lace pleated. The neckline was round, but with a decent push up bra, there would be modest view of the cleavage.

"What do you think?"

Aubrey admired it, a lot. Anything was pretty on her, but the color was a perfect match for Jessica's eyes. He loved her in green. "Um….very nice. I-I'll go upstairs and get my stuff."

"Thank you." Jessica said as he walked by her. She smiled to herself, secretly proud that she reduced him to almost stuttering. Before she could ponder further, he came back.

"All yours, Ms. Warren."

"Thank you." Jessica responded before heading up the stairs. Taking two steps, she turned and pointed her finger. "No nibbling on the munchies!"

Aubrey saluted. "Yes ma'am."

"Good. Be down shortly."

The lanky man watched as his girlfriend walked up the stairs and disappeared. Taking in a deep breath, he headed to the bathroom. After a quick shave, he got into the shower, but images of her in his upstairs raced through his mind.

Rubbing the cherry scented shower gel all over her wet, slick body. Water pebbling onto her breasts. Her hand slowly gliding down to her private area and pleasuring herself…

'Damn it!' He yelled snapping out of his trance when he felt his erection rise. Usually, he could rub it out in the shower, but it felt wrong to do it while she was with him.

Besides, while they were horny, they weren't ready to make love…or Jessica wasn't. She would tell him when it was time. When that time came…hopefully his bed won't be destroyed in the process.

He thought of all the things that would repulse him…his hirsute lunch lady from high school…the dead bodies he had encountered since starting to work with the lab…the old food from the Spicemobile when they were working the Chili Reuben case.

After a minute, he was back to normal. Relaxed, he hurried and finished his shower before getting dressed. Coming out into the living room, he heard Jessica singing along on her phone to Dorothy's Wicked One and smiled. As he was putting his socks, her laundry basket that had been taunting him since he came home beckoned. No, one thing in particular.

No, he wasn't a teenager anymore. He was not going to snoop.

But this time, the temptation was too strong as she wasn't in the room. Knowing she would be occupied for a while, he finally gave in and he made his way over. Carefully, his finger sifted through her delicates, finding a few other items in particular that he wanted to see her in.

Then a flash of teal. Pulling on it, he opened it up admired the item. He liked the bow strategically placed between the breasts, like unwrapping a present. Suddenly, his heart raced as he wondered how it look on Jessica.

Even better, feel on Jessica before and after he took it off…or left it on while he made her scream.

"Don't worry about the cookies, Jess. I'd rather nibble on you any day."


Jessica got into the shower and groaned as the three shower heads massaged her body. Never had she encountered something like this. She felt sad that Doctor B and Agent Booth were unable to live here after what happened. However, a selfish part of her was glad because Aubrey now lived in this awesome house.

Jessica smiled as she thought about the man downstairs currently in the shower…soapy and wet all over his slight but very delectably toned body. He was always very meticulous in all that he did, and she had no doubt that he would be the same with her.

He would apply shower gel over her wet body, making sure not to miss anything. His long, nimble fingers, perfected through hours of game playing on his XBOX, finding her most sensitive areas to make her cry out. When that was done, he would turn her around and drill her into the wall, hitting her g-shot at just the right angle. Or even just take her from behind.

She would be lying if she hasn't thought about indulging in some afternoon delight with Aubrey on his couch once or twice earlier today. No…several times, but they made a pact to go slow to preserve their friendship. She also remembered her earlier vow to take her cue from Aubrey.

But it was getting harder to go slow. After he almost died last month, she realized that her feelings went far past friendlier than friendship feelings…past attraction…past lust.

Love. An emotion she never planned on having.

Thinking about it made her lower body heat up. Her fingers were itching to grab the removable shower head and give herself satisfaction. It wouldn't be the first time she had to do so after a night with Aubrey.

But she couldn't. It didn't feel right with him downstairs getting ready. Knowing she needed to release the tension, she made herself think of things that were major turn offs.

Corporate assholes who abused animals for inhuman animal testing. The frat boys at MSU who would show off in an attempt to nail her. Oliver Wells…the world's biggest douchebag. No, second biggest behind Andrew Hacker.

At a point where she could be around Aubrey, Jessica finished her shower. Getting out, she put on her new push up bra and her eyes bulged as she saw how much bigger her modest breasts were. After getting dressed, she walked into her boyfriend's bedroom and admired herself in the mirror. With her black cardigan sweater, she knew she made the right choice when shopping last weekend.

Her choice of evening attire had nothing to do with the fact that Aubrey liked her in green because he said it brought out her eyes. Nor the fact that his eyes turned to saucers when he saw her breasts in her other black bra last night.

Oh hell, the lanky man had everything to do with her attire tonight.

Suddenly, she felt dampness in her panties as thoughts of being snowbound with Aubrey made her feel warm…fuzzy…comfortable…sexy…creative in keeping each other warm…

'Enough of that! If Aubrey is not ready to be intimate, he's not ready for me to spend the night with him. Aubrey will let me know when the time is right. ' Jess thought to herself before repeating her recent mantra in a failed attempt to stop her horniness as she went back into the bathroom to do her hair and makeup.

'We're going slow…we're going slow…we're going slow...'


By 5:30, Daisy had not rescheduled the party, but most that were invited had already canceled due to the weather.

Jessica was in the kitchen with an apron on spooning cookie dough onto two greased sheets. She had just put them in the oven when she sensed Aubrey walk into the kitchen. When he tried to sneak some vegetable pizza on the counter, she smacked his hand. "No, that's for Daisy's party!"

"But I'm hungry."

"You are always hungry, Aubrey. Eat something else."

"Fine."

He said as he looked in the fridge before pulling out some cold pizza and took a bite. "I don't get why she hasn't canceled yet." He said with a full mouth.

"Because once Daisy gets a thought into her head, that's it." Jessica said before turning around to face the agent. It took all she had not to drool.

He was wearing a dark blue dress shirt with the top three buttons open, making his blue eyes pop and giving her a hint of the defined chest she felt last night. He had on gray trousers that showed off his butt beautifully when he reached down in the fridge for a bottle of Mexican Coke.

She was so wrapped in her thoughts that she didn't hear her name at first. When she realized that Aubrey was saying something, she snapped back. "Hmmm?"

The agent knew she was staring. He purposefully picked out blue for the evening, remembering a comment she made that the color brought out his eyes. Not wanting to embarrass her, he kept his flattery to himself as he pointed outside the kitchen window.

"Jess, look at this mess! It's a blizzard out there and it's only going to get worse. Is it worth us driving out in this crap? They've already closed the airports and some highways are shutting down."

"You grew up in New York and you're afraid to drive in the snow?" She said jokingly.

Aubrey looked at her as he ate another bite of pizza. "Uh, yeah, when it piling up like it is."

"It has its challenges." Jessica conceded before hearing a buzz on her phone. Looking over, she pushed the touch screen until she found what she was looking for. "Rudolfo and his girlfriend can't make it. The roads by Stacy's house just closed."

Aubrey put the pizza on a napkin he had and set it on the counter. "I don't want to disappoint your fellow squintern or miss out on Doctor B's awesome whore sauce, but I think Daisy would understand if we chose not to risk our lives."

"Don't call the puttanesca sauce 'whore sauce', Superman."

"That's what Booth calls it." Aubrey said. "Don't change the subject, though. They've already put out winter advisories to stay off the roads, Jess. I would rather not go out if I can avoid it."

Jessica had to admit he had a point. Daisy was her friend, but a driving adventure in these winter conditions wasn't worth their lives. Hearing her phone buzz, she saw there was a message from Andie. Quickly reading it, she looked up at Aubrey.

"Andie and Wendell just bailed. She almost got into an accident coming home from the hospital." Seeing Aubrey's face, she finished. "She's all right. Just really shook up."

She checked another item on her phone before typing a message. "According to Twitter, at least a foot has dropped already. I'll let Daisy we're not coming and then I'll head on home myself."

Jessica hit SEND, but before she could put her phone down, Aubrey surprised her. "Good plan regarding Daisy, but you're staying here this weekend."

Jessica was shocked. "W-we haven't spent the night at each other's places yet."

"I know that, Jess, but I don't want you driving home in this."

The redhead looked out the window and debated between secretly happy to be snowbound with Aubrey and afraid of what it could lead to. Two days of constant sexual frustration may just kill her.

But then she saw the genuine concern in Aubrey's blue eyes and melted as she could tell his main concern was her safety. He was an FBI agent and she was a forensic anthropologist, a couple who were being responsible by progressing their relationship gradually.

"Aubrey, you're right. I should stay until the weather improves. I'm going to finish this up here and change. If you're game, we can have munchies for dinner."

'Maybe she will change into that teal thing.' Aubrey pondered as he pictured her sitting on his lap feeding him wearing only that item. "Sounds good to me."

Jessica mentally calculated what she washed today and realized what was missing. "I need to borrow pajamas, though."

'Hopefully, you won't need pajamas.' Aubrey thought as he had plenty of ideas to keep her warm. Suddenly, he mentally smacked himself upside the head. 'Quit being a hornball, Aubrey. Just because you want her naked or in that nightie you saw in the basket does not mean you pressure her. She will let you know when the time is right. However, it doesn't mean you can't make out with her, though.'

Pulling himself together, Aubrey replied with, "Sure, no problem."

"Um…are you sure, Superman?" Jessica asked, questioning more than if she would have proper sleeping attire.

Understanding the real question, the agent walked up until he was face to face with the redhead. "Of course! We were going to start staying at each other's place eventually anyway. Plus, thanks to the food you made for the party and my excellent planning ahead, we have plenty to eat this weekend, movies to watch, and awesome games to play on the XBOX to occupy our time. If we get bored, we can think of other things to do."

Both of their faces turned red, his words hanging in the air. "Worst case, we will get sick of each other and Daisy gets uninterrupted sex until her son comes home."

"Aubrey!" Jessica laughed before the oven timer went off. "Excuse me, I need to get the cookies out of the oven."

As she bent down and opened the door, she could feel Aubrey's eyes on her. Suddenly, her cheeks turned red as she remembered her earlier fantasy of them in the kitchen. Shaking off those thoughts, she returned to the counter, hoping her blush wasn't too obvious with her pale complexion. "I-I have to get these cookies on the cooling racks."

"I'm not stopping you." Aubrey said as he watched the cookies with fascination before looking up at Jessica.

Looking up, she saw the hooded look in his eyes. If those organs could melt snow, there would be a puddle on the floor just from the look he gave her compared to the dough. Feeling the wetness between her legs again, she shook her head.

"You're distracting me, James Aubrey."

Unable to stop himself, he cocked one hip against the counter, crossed his arms, and smiled flirtatiously. "And how is that, Jessica Warren?"

"The looks you're giving me—the cookies. It's—"

Jessica's slip of the tongue intrigued him. However, her accompanying flushed face made dirty ideas come to mind involving her, his kitchen counter, and lifting up that dress. However, he needed to contain himself.

Meanwhile, Jessica was starting to heat up within and if he didn't leave that kitchen quickly, she may push him against the wall.

'No, no, no!' She said to herself to a desperate attempt to control her hormones. 'It's Aubrey…your best friend…one misstep and your friendship will be ruined. We decided to go slow and let nature take its course, so I have to do that.'

The redhead almost gave in and jumped Aubrey until she was distracted by an orange cat ran into the kitchen and meowed loudly.

"Hey there, boy. Go into the living room with Daddy and he'll play laser pointer with you. When I'm done, we'll feed you and then the three of us can hang and watch movies."

"Yeah, sure." Aubrey said before clearing his throat. He quickly grabbed a cookie off the sheet and popped it into his mouth. Suddenly, his eyes got big. "Hot! Hot!"

"I just took them out of the oven!" Jessica said with a laugh before grabbing her bottled water. "Drink!"

Aubrey chugged for a moment before relaxing. "Good cookies." He said with a smile before looking at the cat. "Come here Skinner."

Jessica watched as the two left the kitchen. 'Whew' she thought to herself. 'This is going to be a long night.'
