I lied. This will be a five chapter story because as I was editing I forgot to put an important part in the story. This chapter is a spicy one, folks.

Rynogeny, enjoy the love.

"I'm going to do it, Doctor B. I'm going to tell her how I feel as soon as I see her." Aubrey said with confidence as he got up.

Brennan looked to the entrance from her office and pointed. "Well, now's a good time."

Aubrey turned and saw Jessica walk in the lab with Booth. He ran out the door like he was on fire until he reached the redhead, almost knocking her over in the process.

"Geez, Aubrey, watch it!" Booth yelled as he caught her fall.

"Sorry! Jess, I need to talk to you." Aubrey panted.

"I need to talk to you, too." Jessica said in an excited tone. "Ummm, how about some dinner?"

"Happy Hour at Founding Fathers? Meatball sliders, shrimp, beers, the works." Aubrey said in a knowing tone.

Jessica smiled in realization. "Pounding meatball sliders on a date, huh?"

"Of course." Aubrey said. "While you steal shrimp from my plate."

"You're on, Superman. Let's go."

Booth and Brennan watched the younger couple walk out. "I think we did a good job today, Bones." Booth said before kissing his wife.

"We did." She replied. "Thank you for trusting me to help Aubrey."

"You're welcome, Bones, but all I did was I listened to my gut." Booth said with a smile.

"Booth, your digestive system doesn't tell you what to do." Brennan said.

"Says you." Booth said before giving her a kiss. "Now, lets get our kids and go home, shall we?"

"Sounds good. After we put Christine and Hank to bed, maybe you can tell me what you said to Ms. Warren."

"After that, you can tell me what you said to Aubrey to make him move like that!" Booth replied.

Aubrey and Jessica were at Founding Fathers at a table surrounded by food smiling at each other or check the other out when he or she wasn't looking. Each were plotting in their heads the perfect way to say how they felt about the other, feeling the right setting was required.

'I know…I'll take her to the Jeffersonian courtyard. It's beautiful there…no wait, it's too cold.' Aubrey thought to himself. 'The Indonesian restaurant? Crap! I can't because they're closed tonight. Damn, this always look easy on TV. I probably can't think because of my low blood sugar. I should eat.'

Jessica looked at Aubrey lost in thought while pounding down a potato skin. 'I know where I can take him…the Lincoln Memorial! The view is awesome!' Jessica thought before she remembered. 'No, I can't go there. He knows about when I had to pee there from the UTI. Not very romantic. I've never had to do this shit before. Ugh….'

While the agent grabbed a meatball slider and savored the first bite with a groan, Jessica stole a shrimp from his plate, noting the smile she got from him as she finished the shellfish. Before she could stop herself, she blurted out, "Booth was right. I am the only one you allow to take food from your plate."

"Of course. You enjoy food as much as I do." Aubrey said, still trying to come up with the words he wanted to say to the woman across from him.

Getting her courage up, she pressed. "You're full of it, James Aubrey. Why do you allow me to eat your food, but anyone else you have a fit? Don't deny it. I remember that when Booth tried to steal one of your puddings when you were in the hospital you almost stabbed him with a fork, but you let me have it. Why is that, Agent Aubrey?"

Aubrey had a smart comeback ready, but decided he didn't want to say it. He wanted to tell her in a more intimate setting, rather than over beer and bar food, but he couldn't wait anymore.

"Because I love you."

The shrimp Jessica was about to eat stopped halfway to her mouth as she contemplated what Aubrey said. She knew the words were coming, but she wasn't prepared to hear those words over shrimp, potato skins, and meatball sliders.

'Oh hell, it's not like we're a typical couple anyway. Why start now?' She thought.

Putting the food back on her plate, she smiled at him. "I love you, too Superman."

Aubrey's eyes bulged in shock, but he didn't understand why. Doctor B told him she loved him, so he should be elated. He took a deep breath to calm himself before he asked one question.

"How?"

The redhead looked at him confused. She just told the man she loved him and he replied with that?

"I just expressed my feelings for you in response to yours and your response is 'How?' What the fuck kind of question is that, Aubrey?" Jessica said with her green eyes turning a brighter hue.

"It's a legitimate question." Aubrey said, cursing himself for his insecurity.

"Fine. I'll answer your question." Jessica said before throwing her napkin down, her temper piqued. "I'm in love with you, something that I've never felt in my life with any other person. I have days when I see a story or anything, whether it is on television or an article I read, the first thing that comes to my mind is 'I can't wait to tell Aubrey.'"

Before the agent could speak up, she continued. "I have days where the hours just don't go by fast enough because I have plans with you that I want to get to. I'm always getting excited on Thursdays because it's one day closer for us to hang out on the weekend and watch television or play Xbox together while we eat Doritos and drink beer."

She inhaled before continuing. "My bedroom is almost constantly in a mess because I take hours to find the perfect outfit to wear to work in the off chance I get to run into you. The weekends are worse because we'll be alone together and I want to look hot down to my bra and panties in case you jump me. Most of all, I have days when all I can think about is how awesome it would feel to have your naked body against mine because I know that sex with you is going to be mind blowing."

The two sat at the table, staring at each other in silence as Jessica's words sunk in. Then Aubrey responded in an unexpected way.

"Holy crap…so it wasn't just me." He said before he started laughing.

Jessica looked at Aubrey like he was nuts. "What is so funny?"

"This…us…me." He sputtered in between laughs.

"This…us…me…what?" Jessica asked gesturing between the two of them.

Aubrey managed to calm himself down. "I've been so scared to tell you how I felt but…oh my God…"

Jessica realized what he was saying and began laughing with him. "We were turning into Agent Booth and Doctor B."

Aubrey felt a weight off his shoulder. "Yeah!"

"Superman, I was so afraid after you almost died a couple of months ago. I was afraid of that if I lost you for good, that a part of me would die, too. Then your stupid ass went on TV, daring those teenage shits to track you down as bait…"

Aubrey could do nothing but stare as he listened to Jessica.

"That's why I was so damn mad at you that night of the conference. The thought that my feelings about your wellbeing were nothing to you kept going through my mind as I watched you on TV…that you could make me feel that….scared. I've never felt that way before and I hated it…I hated that you were so careless…"

Aubrey took her hand and caressed it as he spoke from the heart. "I'm so sorry. I was just so pissed about what happened to Hodgins, me, and those four dead cops. I knew that if I didn't do it that Booth would…and he'd been through enough. Also, I guess I thought that maybe I wasn't that much to miss by you…that maybe you had better prospects than a sci-fi gamer dork FBI agent."

"And the fact that I ate pigeon didn't give you a clue as to how I felt about you?" Jessica replied. "Or the fact that I asked you out for dinner after our first true case together even after I smacked down your attempts to flirt with me over Superman and sex in an attic?"

Aubrey gave her a sarcastic look. "And the fact that I let you eat my food didn't tell you? Or the fact that I brought you smelly catnip tea when I had to talk to you about your background check?"

"I thought we were forgetting that conversation ever happened, James Aubrey." Jessica said with a slight grin.

"What conversation?"

Both laughed for a minute before they got serious again. "Aubrey, Booth told me about what he and Doctor B dealt with to be together. I-I don't want it to be that way for us."

"Doctor B told me about them, too. I don't want to be that way, either, Jess."

"About earlier at the Jeffersonian—" Jessica started.

"When you were at the FBI—" Aubrey said at the same time.

Both laughed at the simultaneous interruption. "You first." Aubrey said.

"Age before beauty." Jessica replied.

"Why I oughta…." Aubrey said shaking his fist in a joking manner before he settled down. "Ladies first, I insist."

"Okay. I just wanted to say next time you come to the Jeffersonian, don't go away in a huff because I'm talking to Rodolfo. He was only showing me what some punk did while flirting with Stacey last weekend."

"As long as you promise me next time you see some woman trying to grope me, you will come to my rescue."

"Deal." Jessica said holding out her hand.

"Deal." Aubrey said before he smiled at Jessica.

Jessica felt a shiver ran down her back when Aubrey grinned. She didn't understand why the gap in his smile turned her on, but it made her feel so….frisky.

Aubrey saw Jessica's eyes turn into a deeper green before her cheeks got flushed. Suddenly, his pants tightened and it was getting harder not to notice the peek of a black strap showing from under Jessica's shoulder of her black, white, and blue striped jersey dress.

"Aubrey…"

"Jessica…"

"If you look outside, the wind and snow is really blowing out." Jessica stammered as she reached around to put her black sweater on, making the agent in front of her sad.

Aubrey turned his head and saw winter pulsating outside the window before turning his head back to the woman in front of him. "It looks like it may be a rough drive home for you."

Jessica took a moment to get her courage up to say what she wanted to say before deciding to go for broke. 'The worst that can happen is he says no.'

"Maybe since you live closer…I should stay with you tonight." Jessica said looking down while tracing the top of her beer bottle before looking back up at Aubrey.

Aubrey could feel his pants tighten further and knew he couldn't make it much longer. There were two ways to solve his issue, but only one appealed to him. He turned to their waitress nearby.

"Check, please."

Fifteen minutes later, Jessica and Aubrey crashed into his apartment kissing with their hands all over each other. He kicked the door closed and locked it before pushing Jessica into it. After hastily whipping off their winter coats and tossing them to the floor, his lips made a meal out of her neck and collarbone while Jessica's hands were busy caressing his back and hair. In rapid succession, Aubrey's suit jacket went to the floor. Jessica's hands started to hungrily move over his back before she hit something important.

"Aubrey, your gun." Jessica whispered hastily.

"Shit." He moaned before looking at her. "Don't move."

Jessica watched as he ran to his bedroom. Thirty seconds later, he ran back and pushed her against the door again. When her left leg rubbed against his right, Aubrey grabbed it and hoisted it to his hip while the two made quick removal of her cardigan sweater and his tie. To her delight, she felt the FBI agent shudder when her hand moved up to his earlobe. When his lips found a sensitive spot on her neck, it was her turn to shiver.

Aubrey's senses were reeling as his lips and tongue caressed the silk of Jessica's skin while she quickly pulled his shirt out of his pants and hastily unbuttoned it. To the agent's frustration, he was stymied in his pursuits by his partner's attire. His hands moved all over to find a zipper on her dress.

"Just lift the damn thing up, Aubrey." Jessica panted.

"Thank God." Aubrey muttered into her chest. Moving both hands to the hem, he quickly removed her dress with Jessica's help, leaving her in a black full slip with a built in bra along with her lingerie and heels. When he looked up, he saw that her perfect ponytail was now mussed and she was flushed from her cheeks to her top of her breasts.

Aubrey felt Jessica start to remove his shirt so he assisted her in pulling off the offending garment before letting his hands roam over her body as hers was doing the same thing.

"You feel good enough to take a bite out of, Superman." Jessica muttered as she nibbled on his earlobe and caressed his hot skin, receiving a groan in return from the lanky man.

"I do, huh? You feel fantastic, just like I knew you would be." Aubrey huffed out before his hands moved to her breasts and played with them as he kissed a sensitive spot on her neck.

"Oooooohhh…." Jessica groaned to Aubrey's machinations.

As for the agent, he was fascinated by how quickly her nipples hardened like diamonds to his touch. The more he touched, the more Jessica's body reacted by pressing up to his. Needing more, he pulled the left strap down and began connecting the freckles on her shoulder and arm with his tongue.

Jessica felt her body go into autopilot as her pelvic area grinded against Aubrey while his lips and tongue mapped her skin. Suddenly, she felt his hand under her ass before he began to lift her up. Following instinct, she wrapped her legs around his waist before they began to move against the door together.

"Look at me, Jessica."

As soon as she opened her eyes, Aubrey's hand moved under the top of the slip to her bare breast, sending shock waves through her. Never had a man drove her this mad with just a touch of his hand. About to lose her mind, her eyes began to close in pleasure when she was interrupted.

"Open your eyes, Jessica." Aubrey said in a gruff voice.

As soon as she opened them, the man became mesmerized by the brightness of her green irises rapidly disappearing until her eyes were almost black. Satisfied to see the passion, he pulled the left cup down and tasted one of the things until now he could only enjoy in his dreams.

"Oooohhh, Superman, don't stop." Jessica groaned as one arm held her around him while the other kept his head in place.

Encouraged, the gentle touch of his tongue turned into his mouth taking the nipple and surrounding breast into his mouth and suckled, enjoying the flavor of Jessica. He felt the heels of her shoes digging into his back, but he didn't care. Then he felt a wetness on his abdomen and he remembered two things she told him. Forcing himself as a gentleman to control himself, he held on long enough to speak his thoughts.

"I want all of you, Jessica. I want to feel everything, but if you are unsure, I have protection." He said shakily in between kisses on her breast.

Jessica's mind was a fog of hormones, but she knew what he was asking of her. A month ago, she told him that she went on the Pill a week after their date at the Indonesian restaurant back in November and she was very diligent about taking her daily dose on time every day. That same conversation she also confided that she never had sex without a condom, which was something that he had confessed to her also.

She knew he would never put her in danger, but the trust he had in her was the clincher. "I want to feel all of you, too Aubrey. I trust you."

Her last three words did him in. 'I trust you.'

Grabbing her tightly, one of her shoes fell off before he carried her into his bedroom while she traced her tongue onto his lips for entry, which he granted. When they got to the end of the bed, he sat and laid down, pulling her on top of him before they scooted up to the pillows.

"I should probably get rid of this." Jessica whispered before taking off her other shoe and tossing it to the side, landing on the floor with a thump, followed by a high pitched meow.

"Oh shit! Sorry Skinner." The redhead said as she observed an orange cat running out of the bedroom while the two laughed.

Their moment of levity ended as Aubrey took full advantage of his nearness to Jessica by caressing her legs up past the hem of the slip and onto her ass on top of her panties. Feeling her undo his belt, he flipped them over and assisted in pulling off his suit pants and tossing them aside, leaving him in only his boxers. Pulling the strap off her right shoulder, he made a trail with his lips down her arm before feasting onto her other breast while her hands caressed his back and neck.

One day, he would leave the slip on as it was hot as hell, but tonight, he only wanted Jessica.

Suddenly, he spun them around again before he sat them up so she was on his lap. He finished pulling the straps down until they draped by her elbows, which led her to pull her arms out and the garment falling to her waist. Aubrey was stunned by the beauty in front of him.

"You are…stunning, Jessica." He said as his right hand made its way up to her breast. Seeing her tip her head back and her moans drove him to action as he kissed her deeply, his tongue seeking hers. When they found each other, they held on until there was no light between them as their hands explored the other's body.

Aubrey groaned when Jessica began nibbling on his neck again with a trail leading up to his earlobe while her other hand caressed his scars from the bombing on his back. Moving to her hair, he found the rubber band holding her hair back and pulled gently, revealing a long curtain of auburn hair. He couldn't stop himself from running his hand through it while his bed mate continued trailing his neck and lips with kisses. However, after a few minutes of exquisite torture, the agent took matters into his own hands by pulling them down before flipping them over in a rush.

"Wow, Agent Aubrey. I love the way you take charge." Jessica said in between breaths.

"You've seen nothing yet, Ms. Warren." The man replied in a husky voice before pulling the slip down past her thighs and legs before getting rid of it. Immediately, his lips connected with the silk of the skin of her abdomen as it trailed down past her belly button. Buoyed by her body's arching against his mouth, Aubrey continued around her panties and connected with her hips and thighs where he felt her shiver.

"Ohhhh…ohhhh." Jessica moaned, her thought processes at a standstill.

Aubrey looked up and saw Jessica writhing on his bed, her red hair spread out on the brown pillow spread, illuminated by the moonlight not blocked by the flurries outside. The loud wind pounding outside competed with their moans as his hands pulled her underwear down slowly past her hips and thighs before tossing them aside.

Then he saw her for the first time…all of her. The smooth alabaster skin, long legs, perfect handful breasts, her curves, and her long neck. All of it was now for his pleasure alone and he planned on fully enjoying it.

But now, there was one more area of Jessica he dreamt of exploring for a long time and there was nothing stopping him.

As for Jessica, she was coming down from her high when she didn't feel Aubrey on her. She was about to inquire she felt his tongue making a trail around her knee and inner thigh. Unconsciously, she bent her knees up and spread her legs, but when she felt him, it was an explosion like nothing she had ever experienced before. His lips and tongue explored all of her womanhood, relentless in its pursuits. She couldn't keep still as her body thrusted towards him as she held his head in place.

"More, Aubrey…oh God, more please!" She yelled out.

Aubrey was more than happy to oblige the woman as her taste was driving him mad as well as her reaction. Reaching around her bent legs, he held her down with one arm while the other reached up and found her breast.

Jessica felt the dual sensations and lost herself in them. No other man had brought such intense…shocks to her system in the eight years she had been sexually active…not even close. Suddenly, a familiar feeling was coming closer.

"Oh…Aubrey…I'm…going to…come."

Hearing that only drove the man further as her moans growing louder indicated to him she wasn't going to last much longer. Then, he heard it.

"JAMES!" Jessica yelled before her orgasm escaped her body.

Aubrey licked and kissed her thighs before he made a trail back up towards her face. When he got to her lips, his erection was hard to the point of pain. "Jessica, I need to make love to you now. Please let me." He whispered in between kisses to her lips, neck, and collarbone.

"Yes." Jessica said in between breaths.

Together, they pulled his boxers off him. His right hand took her left and clasped it before lying them above her head. As he looked into her eyes, he plunged and felt her for the first time.

"Son of a bitch, Jessica! You feel…wow." He groaned before he began to move.

Jessica could only moan as the sensations of no barrier sent intense pleasure throughout her body. Sex was pleasurable, but never with another man could she surrender herself as she was now. As she felt his wet kisses on her neck with his movements, her pelvis tilted slightly, causing Aubrey to hit something that caused a sensation she never had before.

"Holy shit, Aubrey! Don't stop!" She yelled before moaning as her other hand made a trail up and down his back before finding his muscular ass. He may be considered scrawny, but the man was all muscle and she was grateful that she was the lucky girl to enjoy Special Agent James Aubrey's toned body.

Aubrey could only do as the feeling of Jessica's walls made him insane. He had always wondered how it would feel without a condom, but never risked it. However, with Jessica, he knew she was safe, and that he was safe enough with her to let himself go.

When Jessica's leg looped around his waist, Aubrey felt himself go deeper and the two mutually moaned as they joined together at a comfortable pace before slowly gaining speed. He couldn't help himself as his head went to her neck, where his lips kissed her before he had to stop as the sensations overrode him, leading to moaning and groaning with each thrust

Jessica's arm looped around his neck and her other let go of his hand to find his ass once again as she helped drive the speed as it increased in depth and number. She felt his right arm lay next to her head as his left found a way underneath her to pull her closer.

Aubrey then felt a familiar tingle in his spine as he felt Jessica's walls pulsate around him. Knowing neither would last much longer, he increased his thrusts deeper as he felt her body arch further. Then, it came.

"JAMES!" She yelled again, her liquid heat surrounding him.

Something about hearing his first name did something to him as after two more thrusts, he growled as his pulsated the rest of him in her, his seed comingling with her warmth. When done, he collapsed on top of her with his head into her neck before he kissed whatever skin was available.

"Superman, that was….I…holy shit." Jessica said in between breaths.

"Right back at you, Bone Girl." He muttered as he laid in exhaustion on top of her before he lifted his head and pulled her with him as he laid on his back with the redhead on his chest. After a few moments of quiet contentment, Jessica spoke up.

"Aubrey?"

"Hmm?" He hummed as his hand moved up and down her naked back.

"I'm hungry." She said before giggling. "We didn't get through half of our happy hour food."

"Plus the two half full bottles of beer we left behind. Alcohol abuse is a no no usually, but I think tonight was an acceptable exception."

"Very acceptable exception." Jessica said while tracing her finger on Aubrey's chest. "Do you still have that queso and veggies? I could go for the famous Aubrey nachos."

"I do and cold pizza as well."

"I'm all over that." Jessica laughed before jumping out of bed giggling. "Hurry up, lazy ass. I want some nachos!" She yelled before grabbing a shirt from a basket of clean clothes and putting it on.

"Jess! Don't you want your—" He said holding up her black silk panties.

"Don't need them, Superman. They're just going to come off again anyways." She said before running out of the room.

"God I love her!" Aubrey said as he quickly found his boxer shorts and put them on. Finding another shirt, he slipped it on as he left the bedroom to join her.

Thirty minutes later, the two were sitting opposite each other at the kitchen island with two open bottles of Yeungling as they feasted off a joint smorgasbord of cheesy nachos with olives and tomatoes, Nacho Cheese Doritos, and cold pizza.

"Oh, so good." Jessica said with a full mouth as she ate another gooey nacho.

"Food is such as beautiful thing." Aubrey said while munching on cold pizza from DiAngelo's.

Jessica took a drink of her beer and asked something she had been contemplating for the last twenty minutes. "Aubrey, are we like Doctor B and Booth?"

"No." Aubrey said while drinking a beer.

"Why is that?" Jessica asked.

"Because I know that you're careful enough that I'm not going to knock you up tonight." Aubrey said with a straight face before the two started to laugh.

"I'm serious, Aubrey. I-I don't want either of us to freak out and run away to opposite sides of the world or you to hook up with a reporter, or—"

"Jess, stop." Aubrey said, contemplating his words before taking her hand in his. "Things aren't always going to be easy and maybe we'll have days we wonder whether we can go the distance. However, remember how in Sweets' book that Booth and Brennan's relationship was guided by their friendship?"

"Yeah." Jessica said with a smile.

Aubrey got up and walked around the island until he was standing in front of the redhead. "We're going to be the same way. You're my best friend, Jessica. We just decided not to be afraid anymore tonight, like how they were for years. So, while we took a lesson from them in that, we can also take a lesson in how they solve their problems…together."

"I want that, too." Jessica said, touching Aubrey's face with her hand.

"Good." He said before his hand started to travel up her leg. "Now that we've had some sustenance, I do remember you saying there was an item of clothing you weren't going to need."

"Yes." She replied before groaning as she felt his hand travel up her inner thigh.

"You were right. You won't be as they would have got in my way." Aubrey said before lifting up her thigh to his waist. Instinctively, Jessica pulled her other leg around him, too after he moved his hand.

Jessica squealed as he grasped her rear end and pulled her up, where he carried her to a nearby kitchen counter where he proceeded to start Round Two.

It was almost nine in the morning when Aubrey sauntered onto the fourth floor with a smile and his coffee cup. Heading to the coffee room, he saw Booth pouring a cup. "Good morning Booth."

Booth turned around and noted Aubrey's happy and familiar countenance. "Aubrey. Good mood I take it."

"Yes, Booth…a very good mood." The junior agent said while pouring coffee.

"So you and Jessica…settled things last night?" Booth asked.

"That we did, Booth." Aubrey replied with a smile before drinking his coffee. 'Three timeslast night and once in the shower this morning.'

"Well, I'm glad." Booth said.

"Thanks, Booth, for what you and Doctor B. did. I can't thank you enough."

"No problem, Aubrey. Now, let's talk about the people we need to bring in today."

The two agents conversed together while the two walked to Booth's office.

Jessica was smiling as she examined the remains in the Bone Room. She turned when she heard her mentor come in.

"Ms. Warren, you found something?"

"Yes, I found a nick on the C5 that I must have missed before, plus I see some hemorrhagic staining." Jessica said before she yawned.

"Long night, Ms. Warren?" Brennan asked.

"Yes, Aubrey and I were up really late…talking and stuff."

"So, the advice we gave…helped?" Brennan said with a knowing tone.

"More than you can ever know." Jessica replied. "Thanks for helping Aubrey and me figure things out, Doctor B. Agent Booth, too."

"You're welcome, Ms. Warren." Brennan said with a smile. "You two must have up really late because Booth got a text around 7:00 AM from Aubrey saying he was running late and Cam said you overslept and only got here thirty minutes ago, something I never see from you.

"It was very late." Jessica said. 'Especially the third time when Aubrey woke me up in a very pleasant manner in the middle of the night.'

"There's something in this nick, Ms. Warren. Have Doctor Hodgins extract it and examine it."

"Yes, Ma'am." Jessica replied before putting the skull on a tray and walking it to the Ookey Room.

Brennan smiled to herself before continuing her examination of the bones.
