Hey all. Here's the next installment. I'm quite positive you'll love this one a lot.
Hodgins' Car
It was a quiet ride home. Booth and Tempe sat in the front two seats as Angela and Hodgins made-out in the back seat, not exactly lessening the tension between the two people I the front seats.
"Hey you guys, you're home." Booth smiled to himself as the couple moved away from each other and out of the car. Angela moved to speak to Tempe through her window as Jack did the same to Booth.
"Sweetie, thanks for everything." Angela said as she hugged her friend.
"No problem, Ange." Tempe said over Angela's shoulder. "The gifts will be in your office tomorrow morning and we'll go through them then."
"Great. I can't wait to open them. I'll see you then. And behave." Angela wiggled her eyebrows before walking away.
"Hey man, thanks again." Jack held out his hand to Booth who shook it.
"No problem but what about your car?" Booth asked.
"Well I live two blocks away." Tempe offered. "We could walk and you could call a cab from there."
"Great!" Hodgins exclaimed a little more excited than necessary, causing Booth to laugh. "Keys, please."
Booth handed the man his keys before leaving the car. "We'll see you later."
"Yeah. You two behave." Jack added before going into the house where Angela had disappeared a few minutes earlier.
As the two people walked down the sidewalk Tempe spoke first. "What is it with their references to behavior?'
Bones, its just a-" he was going to ignore her statement as usual but decided to explain instead. "It means to not get into trouble."
"Oh. Ok." They rounded the next corner in silence.
Booth delicately slid his hand into hers causing her to startle and lose her balance. Temperance fell to the cold cement, landing awkwardly on her stiletto-clad foot.
"Temperance, are you alright?" Booth asked as he crouched down beside her.
"I think I may have sprained it." Tempe said as she allowed him to cradle her ankle in his hands making Tempe momentarily focus on his gentle touch instead of the pain.
"I think so too. Come on lets get you home." Booth stood and took off his coat.
"What are you doing?" She asked from her place on the sidewalk.
"Well, A. you're cold and B. its hard to carry someone with a coat on. Restricts the movement." He handed her the jacket; which she took quickly.
"I can walk Booth." She replied as she stood using her other foot for support.
"Temperance?"
"Yeah?"
"Shut up." In one motion Booth swept her into his arms.
Booth carried her the rest of the way home. The only words spoken were directions from Temperance. He carried her up the stairs and allowed her to unlock her door from where she was in his arms. Booth kicked the door open and closed before speaking.
"Where do you want me to put you?" He asked.
"Couch please." She replied.
Booth moved beside the couch and laid her down. Their faces coming only inches apart. "Um. I'll go get you some ice."
The agent returned a few minutes later with a cold pack. Booth lifted her leg off the couch to allow himself a place to sit. He laid her leg on top of his lap and heard her wince in pain as he placed pack on her ankle.
"Sorry." He mumbled, barely looking up to meet her eyes. They sat quietly. Booth allowed his fingertips to draw patterns over her smooth calves. Temperance closed her eyes and took in the feel of his hand on her naked flesh.
"Seeley?" Whispered Temperance. Before Booth could respond he felt the weight of her leg lift off of his lap and the weight of her lips pressed against his. Within seconds the kiss had deepened and Seeley had pulled Temperance onto his lap. The couple pulled apart. Breathing heavily, their foreheads resting against one another.
"I love you Temperance." Booth whispered as he rubbed his nose against hers. She pressed her lips against his and wrapped her arms around his neck. Seeley picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.
The Bedroom
Clothes were strewn all over the room. The lights were dim and the comforter lay at the foot of the bed.
"That was amazing." She said as she rested her head on her man's chest.
"Yeah it was." He sighed contentedly. "Ange, did we really need a designated driver?"
"Nope." She said simply as she examined the ring on her finger.
"Then why'd you have Booth and Brennan drive us?"
"Just all part of the plan sweetie." She kissed his cheek. "They ended up walking to her place right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I'm just guessing here but I'm pretty sure they ended up in bed tonight." Angela smiled as she flipped onto her stomach to look at her fiancée.
"How do you know that?" Jack gave her a questioning look.
"I don't. But believe me, we'll find out tomorrow.
