Without interrupting the kiss, Booth carried her to the bedroom, where he carefully laid her on the bed. Before she could miss the warmth of his body he was already over her and started removing her top while she tampered with his jeans. Her glance went over his body when he dropped the jeans onto the floor. She knew that he was strong, but his muscular arms, which had embraced her and carried her to the bedroom, impressed her in more than just a scientific way.
Booth kissed her again. This time more impetuously than before. She pressed her hands against his chest and pushed his shirt upwards. He took the hint and pulled it over his head. Bones was on top of him before he could recapture his last position. He tucked both of them in and pulled her closer. His hands felt their way downwards, opened her pants, and pushed them bit by bit downwards. Bones kept kissing his chest and his breathing became faster when her hand glided lower. He let her pants fall to the floor. His hands wandered over her skin and he gently kissed her on the lips before covering her neck with kisses.
She wrapped her arms around him, and pulled him closer, sighing when he finally shifted bra straps from her shoulders. Booth kissed her challengingly and the closure of her bra opened the moment their tongues met. He carelessly threw the bra to the other clothes.
Bones glided with her hands along the side of his body but didn't stop at the waistband of his shorts. Booth grinned at her when their lips separated for a moment. But the separation did not continue for long.
They both began getting the last barriers out of the way. He ran his hands over her legs up to her panties. He kissed her belly, pulled the panties down at the same time and moved lower with his lips.
Bones groaned under his touch. This was exactly what she needed. She wanted to forget everything that happened in the last weeks, the truth about Zack. In that moment, when they entirely connected, all she was thinking of was Booth.
Bones jumped. She looked around to see if someone might have seen her dozing off. When she could see nobody she ran her fingers through her hair and moved the mouse to turn off the screensaver. She had never had problems concentrating at work, but the memory of last night kept pushed its way to her mind and already haunted her in her dreams.
The last opened file appeared on the screen, a website in the background. But the website about 'Sex with your best friend' didn't catch her attention. It was the report. Zack's report. No matter what he had done, how he had lost his position at the Jeffersonian, she still owed him this. He was going to get the best report she had ever written for an assistant. Although Zack had already graduated, she wanted him to have an ace up his sleeve, and to make sure that the work he had done would be adequately acknowledged.
Bones had fallen asleep in the middle of the sentence. As much as she cared about Zack, one thought kept circling through her head.
"Booth!"
Booth fanned air in his face with a file before letting himself drop into the chair in front of her.
"Everything alright?" he asked, amused when he noticed the red imprint on her face.
Bones hurriedly closed the windows on her screen and cleared her throat.
"Yes, I'm okay. Why? Is something wrong?"
He pointed with his finger to her face.
"Bones, you've got…" he put the file away. " an imprint. Keyboard, maybe?"
She felt her face.
"Oh no…"
Booth grinned impishly.
"Well, it's already fading a little." He stood up and leaned down over the table to whisper in her ear.
"Too tired?"
She looked into his eyes. "Too tired for what?"
He smiled and slid a strand of hair away from her face before sitting down again.
"For a repetition."
Bones smiled and looked at him provocatively.
" A repetition of what exactly?" Both froze upon hearing Cam's voice.
Bones opened her mouth, trying to think of something. Booth was flustered.
"Oh…eh…we…we wanted to go bowling," he stammered.
Bones quickly nodded. A little too quickly to convince Cam.
"Yeah, we wanted to push a few bowls."
"Play, Bones… you play bowls…" he corrected her.
Cam stood in the middle of the office and looked from one to the other. It was not until now that Bones noticed the papers in her hand.
"Okay, let's just skip that before you seem even weirder to me. I received an email this morning. You might want to take a look," she said, handing the prints to Bones. Bones' face froze when she read the text.
"Can I rely on you to take care of this?" Cam asked a little softer.
Bones nodded. "Yes…I" she unconsciously touched her forehead, "..will take care of this."
"Okay." Cam pressed her lips together, nodded, and left the office. Booth stared at Bones questioningly.
Bones let the papers sink on the table and supported her head with her hands.
"Zack's parents want us to send them his personal things from the lab."
Booth took a deep breath.
"Bones, I'm sorry."
She raised her glance and their eyes met.
"I know."
"Booth and you did what?" Angela had a look on her face Bones had never seen. It was a mixture of surprise, indignation, and delight.
Bones stood up and began to walk from one side of the room to the other.
"I can't even tell you how it happened." She sighed. "I…it…" she gestured insecure with her hands.
Angela leaned back in her armchair and grinned at Bones. "And? How was it?"
A smile appeared on Bones' face. She crossed her arms and sat down on the couch again.
"That good hmm?"
Bones nodded and both smirked. Angela shook her head.
"Oh Sweety, it was time."
The smile on Bones' face faded slowly.
"I just don't know if…" she breathed out audibly again.
"How it will go on?"
She nodded.
"Last night was just…" she ran her hand over her forehead. "Booth and I, we…everything about Zack, the faked death, it was too much."
Angela looked at Bones sympathetically.
"You're not sure if it would have happened when…"
"The circumstances had been different," Bones ended the sentence.
Angela leaned over to her.
"Honey, don't you think the premises were set up already for long time? You two only needed a trigger, like the thought of almost having lost him, to get to that point."
Bones averted her gaze.
"I'm not sure if this will change everything between us."
Angela smiled at her encouragingly.
"Changes don't have to be something bad, do they?"
Bones met her gaze again with a smile on her face again.
