Temperance Brennan had always thought the term "love making" was made up. Another word for sex, a lighter form of the coitus itself. But that night Booth was able to convince her of the opposite.

After he had travelled his hands up her thighs, he entangled his fingers with her panties.
"Can I?" he breathed into her ear and bit her earlobe gently. "I won't, if you say no ..."
"Why would I?" the anthropologist breathed back. Why would she? He already had positioned himself on top of her, he had already managed to soak her panties. He would be positively surprised about the wetness he was causing between her legs.
"I don't know ... Change of hearts?" Booth kissed a small trail down her neck.
"I don't know what that means," Bones whispered and slung her arms around her partner. "I only have one heart which I can't change ..."
"Silly Temperance," Booth whispered as he pushed up the rest of his partner's dress. His fingers drew circles over her thighs. "Let me show you what loving you means."
"I doubt you'll be able to show me," Bones said lowly, making Booth chuckle.
"I'm able and I will show you."
Slowly he sat up, pulling her with him. He took the hem of her dress and carelessly pulled it upwards, over her belly and breasts. He sucked in air as he revealed her white bra; it wasn't anything special like a lace bra (and it definitely wasn't push up) but it made him excited. He pulled the dress over her head and planted a kiss on her chest. His fingers caressed her skin while he pulled the dress over the last part, her arms.
"Booth," Bones mumbled. His lips were everywhere, her collar bones, her chest again, her throat, her jaw and back over her neck line. Her whole skin was already covered with goosebumps. "Booth ... I ... just take me, make it quick ..."
"Not in a million years," Booth mumbled back and finally pulled the dress away. He threw it away without even looking where it would land and then he kissed her hard.
Their tongues fought for dominance after they met. Bones let out a small scream as Booth pushed his pelvis down to show her how erected he already was. But he wanted to make it last. He had promised to show her how much he loved her, so he pulled back. Gently he brushed his wet lips over her cheek, to her ear.
"Just lean back and enjoy... Okay? Promise?"
Bones nodded, even though she didn't want to lean back and enjoy. She wanted to help him, make him reach the peak too, but she had learned to trust him.
Instead she closed her eyes and enjoyed his hands on her skin.
He was so gentle.
Bones knew that she had never had a man who had touched her that gently, like a raw egg. "Booth, I'm not fragile," she whispered, earning another kiss on her lips.
"No ... But it's your first time ..."
"Ahhh," Bones chuckled as she understood what he was pretending. First the prom and now the clichéd first time. Only that they weren't in the back seat of Booth's car.
And since Bones' actual first time hadn't exactly been the best experience of her life, she decided to play along.
"Will it hurt?" she whispered as Booth reached behind her to unclasp her bra. Gently he pulled it off, kissing every inch of newly exposed skin.
"I promise I'll be gentle," he said softly and kissed a trail down between her breasts. "You're so beautiful ..."
Bones' eyelids fluttered open. "Please stop teasing me," she begged again and Booth bit down on her flesh lovingly.
"Never." With care he started to suck and kiss, hoping he'd leave a hickey. Like in high school. If she ever had one back in her youth? Considering the stories she had told him he highly doubted it.
"Booth," Bones moaned and grabbed his shoulders, trying to push him away. "Don't do that, what will the others say?"
"Finally. That's what they will say." He moved his lips over her right breast, towards her nipple.
"They will - ahhh ..." Bones closed her eyes again as Booth took her nipple between his lips. "They - they -"
"They will be happy for us," Booth countered. His hands were still on his travel, he had almost reached her hips again now. And while his lips were still ravishing her skin, his one hand pulled her panties down. His other hand caressed the newly discovered territory. Gently, as if it really was her first time, he drew lines on her inner thighs with his index finger. Slowly he got closer and closer to her vulva but then he pulled back again, continuing to caress her thighs. He loved to tease her, even though the pressure of his own erection almost killed him.
"Stop teasing me!" Bones hissed and threw her head back. "I'm so wet ... Just take me!"
"No, Bones," he mumbled and placed his lips on her earlobe again. "I will make love to you."
Bones let out a snort. "That's not possible. Please, Booth, I'm so erected it hurts already ... And I'm sure you feel the same ..." She tried to grab his crotch but he took her hand, pulling it up and pressing it onto the pillow over her head.
"I will show you it's possible," he said casually and finally reached his destination with his fingers.
He parted her labia, wanting to feel how wet she was. And the sensation hit him.
"Wow, Bones," he said in surprise, just before he inserted two of his fingers into her warm, wet folds.
"Told you," Bones breathed and reached down. Again she tried to touch his erection and this time she was successful. "Undress, please," she begged but Booth was totally occupied with satisfying her. He slowly thrust his fingers in and out of her, grazing her clit with his thumb every now and then.
"Booth," she begged but then she realised that it wouldn't help. So she gave in and parted her legs more for him. After she did so, he inserted a third finger, stretching her wider. Moaning loudly, she arched her back and reached above her. She needed to hold onto him but he was suddenly gone. Temperance opened her eyes, she hadn't even realised how he had exchanged his fingers with his mouth; all of a sudden his head was between her legs and he was drinking from her as if there was no tomorrow.
"Oh - my -," she started but didn't dare to scream out the name of God. She didn't want to use her partner's faith to show him how much she enjoyed it. Instead she stroke her hand through his hair. "This is perfect," she sighed and leaned back again. "I'm so close, please don't stop ..."
The soft humming against her private area made her tremble. It was a light vibration right against her most sensitive spot and it made her go crazy. Her walls tightened and her limbs started twitching, she wrapped her legs around him and grabbed the bed end behind her.
"Booth!" she screamed out loud. The sudden sensation of a welling up orgasm had hit her hard and she didn't know how to deal with it at the moment. He was too far away and she needed a body to hold onto. "Come here, I - ahhh - I need you!"
But her partner didn't even think of it. He continued pleasuring her, knowing all to well that she was very close. And gladly only a few seconds later she came.
Her moans and screams were music in his ears, especially his lustfully moaned name on her swollen lips. He pulled back and enjoyed watching her trembling body, which still seemed to relive spasm after spasm shooting through her body, while her face showed pure pleasure. Slowly he undressed, finally releasing his hard manhood. She had been right, it had been hurting already. A lot.
He was done undressing, just when she had finished her orgasm. She had collapsed on the bed and opened her eyes slowly, just to see her lover, who was leaning over her already.
"Booth -," she whispered but the agent shut her up with a small kiss.
"You're so beautiful when you come," he whispered and kissed her again and again. "Now I want to come together with you."
She just looked at him in await, her eyes greedy and filled with lust. Her lips were slightly parted and she breathed fast. He ran his hands along her body, until he reached her legs once again. He parted them gently, before he bent down.
"Temperance, are you really sure-?"
"If you ask one more time, I'll run away," the anthropologist replied. "Do it, Booth. Convince me that making love is possible. You said it before, now I want to come together with you too. Please, make ... love to me."
The agent smiled and leaned down, bringing his lips on hers. He sighed happily as he brought his pelvis against hers, brushing his erection against her entry. Bones let out a quiet gasp, then she grabbed his shoulders and dug her nails into his flesh. She kissed him harder, their tongues dancing a dance of passion.
And when he entered her, both of them realised that this was what they had been wanting to do everything since they've known each other.
Literally.
Bones realised how stupid she had been for not taking him home, Booth realised how stupid he had been for not running after her. For letting her vanish out of his life, at least until the Cleo Eller case.
He held onto her hips while moving against her, his lips kissing every inch of her face, whispering love declarations between every kiss.
Bones couldn't think straight. She moved her hands over his back, trying not to scream out too loud. Was there a reason why he felt so good, better than everyone she had ever had?
Way better?
Maybe because there were feelings involved?
Bones didn't know and she didn't care. Feelings weren't her strength, so she used her usual explanation. Chemistry.
Yes, there was a lot of chemistry involved here.
"Booth ... Booth ..." she breathed, her voice high pitched and not sounding like her own voice at all. But Booth didn't respond, he simply continued whispering his love for her into her ear and caressing her upper body. So Bones reacted, she slung her legs around his body and pushed him up, sat up. Realising what she was about to do, he helped her changing their position. They rolled over and Bones pressed him down on the bed.
Being on top had always been her favourite position. He could immediately see why.
She could lead now, increase the speed and feel like she was in authority, something she preferred, no matter where.
And he didn't mind at all. He had never seen anything more perfect than Temperance Brennan, naked and on top of him, looking down at him and smiling. Temperance Brennan leaning her head back and moaning his name.
He reached up to strike her hair back, caress her breasts and waist.
Soon she tensed up again. "Booth, I'm so close ..."
"So am I, Bones," her partner breathed back before he pulled her down to kiss her.
And they fell over the edge together, just like he had promised her. It was the most intense feeling both of them had ever experienced.

Now she was lying in his arms, not able to believe her luck. Three times. Three amazing times they had "made love" and finally Bones knew why it was called like that.
Only two persons who loved each other deeply could make love.
And they certainly loved each other.
Yes, she had been scared, but now she wasn't scared anymore.
It was right. It felt right. She closed her eyes, just enjoying his body pressed against hers and his gentle hand on her back.
"My Bones," he whispered into her ear before he kissed her temple. "Good night, my beloved Temperance."
