Brennan could tell that she had taken Booth off guard by the look on his face. He had not been expecting her to request anything like she had, but she wasn't going to back down from it. For too long, Temperance Brennan had been afraid to expose herself to the one person who knew her better than any other living soul. Her heart was racing as she looked into his eyes honestly, searching for the answer to her request. She could see that he wanted her just as much as she wanted him. But it was much more than a biological urge like she thought. There was a sense of longing there that she had seen before, the night he confessed to her that he believed they deserved a chance. She felt that same sense of longing now.
"What?" he asked, the hint of surprise obvious in his voice.
"I want you to make love to me," she repeated firmly, never breaking her gaze from his eyes.
"Are you serious?" he inquired.
"I have never been the joking type Booth," she said. "You said you loved me and that two people who love each other can become one. I want you to show me. Prove that to me."
Without hesitation, he leaned forward and took her lips by surprise in a kiss that was more powerful than before. Moving back into her office, she shut the door behind them and locked it, using her free hand to draw the blinds so no one who happened to be in the building would get a show. His lips were attached to hers as she was backed further into her office. Booth pushed her jacket from her shoulders and she let it fall to the floor, not even caring at this point. Lifting her hands under the hem of his shirt, she pulled it over his head and traced her hands down his bare chest. Even though she had seen it before, it was different now...somehow more intimate. She had always known that Booth's body was perfectly built and athletic, but she was able to appreciate it more now.
Lifting her arms, she allowed him to remove her tank top. The look in his eyes was like he had discovered something for the first time. As he leaned forward and kissed her neck, she turned to allow him better access to the sensitive skin that lay there while her hands traced down his muscular chest down to his "cocky" belt buckle. She had always loved that belt buckle since he decided to wear it years ago, but never really told him. Working her hands, she unclasped it and pulled it through the loops before discarding it on the floor with his coat. Finding his lips with her own, she unbuttoned and unzipped his pants before pushing them down to the floor. He stepped out of them and kicked them aside as they moved further into her office, finding the button and zipper to her pants. Brennan felt her dress pants being pushed off her hips and down her legs before stepping out of them. His hands rested on her hips as she backed into her desk and helped her up to sit on the flat surface. Grazing her nails down his side, she found the top of his boxers and began to push at them. She remembered the last time she had been this close to his boxers, he had recited some saints. But there was definitely no saint reciting this time.
Nudging them down enough, Brennan saw Booth's package for the first time. And though she had gone through her fair share of sexual partners, there was none that compared to Booth. This was not just going to be sex, but something far different. Looking back up into his eyes, she smiled at him and pulled him down to her so she could kiss him again, finding the taste of his lips and tongue to be something she now craved. Trailing her hand down his chest, she stopped when she found what she was looking for. As they kissed, she gently ran her hand up and down his length to arouse him. Although, it wasn't difficult since he already seemed to be mostly aroused by the sight of her in her undergarments. Booth broke their kiss and laid her back on her desk. Thankfully, there wasn't really anything on it, aside from her keyboard, which was easily moved. Brennan felt his lips trace down her neck to the tops of her breasts before he pulled her bra straps down to expose them. The cooler air of the room caused them to become erect just before she felt his mouth cover one while his hand massaged the other.
"Booth..." she whimpered, arching into his touch from the desk.
She needed him. More than she had ever needed another person in her life and could feel against her thigh that he needed her too. Her core was aching to be touched and paid attention to, but she was patient as he trailed his hands down her sides to the tops of her panties. Lifting her hips, she allowed him to remove them slowly. When they dropped to the floor, she was completely bare in front of him, but felt no shame. Temperance Brennan was not a shy woman. Watching him as he marveled at her, she smiled and pulled him back down to her. His lips were warm and contoured to hers as she felt him right at her entrance. Lifting her hips, she urged him to take her, whimpering beneath his lips. A brief moment passed before she felt him enter her slowly and teasingly, causing her to hiss into their kiss. Taking him all the way in, she felt a brief pause before he pulled back and then thrust into her again. A slow but steady rhythm began as he rocked his hips into hers. Brennan trailed her hands down his biceps and kneaded the muscle there in time to his thrusts, pulling him closer to her. Their lips met and tongues tangled as they began to make love.
Booth was long and wide, filling her completely and touching every nerve ending within her, causing Brennan to clench her pelvic muscles around him. Doing so only heightened every sensation that she felt. She felt him tensing and knew he was close by the look in his eyes. Her breathing quickened with every thrust into her body, signaling her that she was close as well. She could feel it. His pace quickened as they both were dangerously close to the edge. When she came, it was a force so powerful that her entire body shook and she dug her nails into his shoulder-blades.
"Booth!" she cried out, throwing her head back and letting her body ride out the waves of her orgasm.
Booth came a few thrusts later, collapsing on her body on the desk. Brennan's breathing was irradic and shallow for a few moments while she came down from the heights of her pleasure. When she was alert enough, she looked down at Booth with a smile on her face before drawing him into a slow and romantic kiss. Before today, she had not understood what it meant to make love to someone. She had only known what were the biological urges of sex, but never what emotional strings could be attached to them. Looking into his eyes, she could see that there was something deeper there than just satisfaction. It was the look of admiration that he had often given her when they were working together and she had said something that was more on the emotional side. His chocolate brown eyes were always a great comfort to her and now they were even more so.
"What happens now?" she asked, looking at him with seriousness and passion.
"What do you mean?" he asked in reply.
"We just had sex in my office...on my desk. Does this mean that we are a couple?" She sat up with him as he pulled out of her.
"We can be," he replied, brushing some of her hair away from her neck to kiss it gently. "Do you want to be?"
"I do. But the FBI doesn't allow relationships between liaisons and agents...unless that rule has changed since I last checked," she said, almost in a whisper. She knew the rules inside and out and abode by them, but this was different.
"That rule has not changed, but what if we kept it between us?" he suggested, looking into her eyes. "Most everyone assumes that we are more than just partners...so why not? We wouldn't have to tell anyone since everyone already assumes."
"And your boss? I don't think Hacker would really appreciate finding out that you and I were dating, especially since he had taken an interest in me before I left for Maluku." Brennan knew that he really only wanted to sleep with her, but resisted because he was Booth's boss.
"He knows that you and I are the best, so he would never do anything to jeopardize his own job," Booth coolly replied.
Brennan nodded, taking in everything at once. The options and odds were all against them, but she was tired of not taking a risk when people said she should. All of her life, she had spent shutting people out and not living. This was different because she wanted to take that risk with Booth.
"Then we're in this...together," she said, kissing him once. Brennan knew that by putting her all in, she was gambling. Luckily for her, Booth was a betting man.
She wouldn't know the hell that lay ahead. Neither of them did.
