The Queen's Declaration: Yes, I am aware this is the longest date in recent history, but this is the way it's playing out in my noggin. Sorry, but thanks for putting up with my procrastination's and cruelty, here is dinner.

"This really is delicious Booth." She mumbled as she chewed a bite of Booth's scrumptious vegetarian lasagna.

He pulled his fork back to his lips, and cleaned it of the forgotten lasagna sediment left by her. He would never guess, not in a few millennia, she would let him feed her, but when he made the sweeping airplane noise, and maneuvered his fork in front of her mouth, he was shocked as hell when she stuck her neck out and took the bite of dinner he cooked for her. He was shocked as hell, but pleased as hell more so.

They subconsciously moved closer throughout dinner. At the present moment, Brennan's legs were crossed, facing Booth, with her calf rhythmically rubbing his, and his fork-free hand was glued to her bare knee, seeing as her dress rode up a bit when they finally sat down.

They were on their second bottle, with two glasses already in their bloodstream, floating away merrily as they each began to see the other in a different way. An un-platonic, more than "partners" kind of way.

"It's alright." Booth said with false modesty, and an irresistible smirk.

"Why do yo do that?" she quietly asked.

"Well, whatever do you mean Bones?" he asked slightly amused.

"Why do you not give yourself full credit for something you've done well?"

"I give myself full credit for things, you're just not supposed to be boastful Bones, Jesus doesn't like that."

She smiled and instead of provoking a religious battle on their date, she just shrugged her shoulders and said, "Oh."

Booth mentally gave her a gold star for no Jesus bashing, then went to cut a small cube of lasagna to spear, but was surprised by a magical bit cradled on Brennan's fork, hovering still, in front of his mouth.

He smiled a crocked smile and offered his thanks, and his mouth. Brennan instantly felt herself mesmerized by the way his mouth worked that piece of food off her fork. If she really thought about it, which she has, WAY too many times, Booth, in her opinion, has one of the sexiest mouths she's ever seen. 'Hell, who am I kidding, it IS the sexiest mouth I've ever seen.' she amended to herself.

Booth of course, notices where her eyes were, so he decided to tease her a little and lick his bottom lip, and of course slowly for dramatic purposes. He slightly smirked when he saw her lips part, ever so slightly. If he was honest with himself, she caused the same stupefying reaction from him, and he's brutally honest with himself at times.

He slowly chewed, and savored the unique bouquet of good Italian food, and the addictive taste of his partner.

"Delicious right?" she asked, slightly breathier than usual.

"It's amazing really." He answered back, not at the lasagna he's cooked more than once, but the taste of her dancing on his taste-buds.

"See, there ya go." she said cheerily at his self proclaimed personal achievement.

He decided against divulging what he was really thinking. 'That might not play too well with her yet.'

He did, however think of a question for her. "Heya Bones, can I ask you a question?"

She shrugged and said "Sure."

"Are you having good time? I mean, is this what you consider a good date?"

Temperance instantly found his concern endearing. If she felt like telling his the whole truth, she would tell him, even though they were doing nothing but eating dinner, this has got to be the best date she's been on. She unfortunately didn't feel like exposing this bit of information just quite yet, but she did admit, "I'm having a great time Booth, but then I always do when I'm with you. This is a very acceptable date."

Booth was still shocked that she just admitted what she just admitted to comprehend the rest of her statement. 'She always has a good time when she's with me huh? I'll show her a good time.'

He felt a new found cockiness that moved the hand that was on her knew slowly up her thigh, then back to her knee. He did this a few times, then on the return trip to her thigh, he gently squeezed, causing her to take a deep breath in to try and control the ever growing arousal she was experiencing.

'I can't believe this slight act of seduction has me so stimulated.' Brennan thought.

"So tell me Temperance, if this is a good date, what can I do to make this a great date for you?" Booth coolly said as his hand gripped her thigh once more.

She smiled at the possibilities of that one statement, then found a safer answer. "Well, you can kiss me. Yeah, that would be suffice."

'I can do that.' he thought as he leaned into her awaiting lips with no hesitation. They soon began a rhythm as old as time, and began to explore each others mouths the way they've always wanted to. Brennan pulled away first, gasping for breath. Booth soon joined the fight for air.

"It's going to take a while to get used to that." she muttered to herself. Bones grew unsettled as she felt Booth's eyes stare intently at her. She gently pushed her plate from in front of her and said, "Woo Booth, I'm stuffed. I can't remember the last time I was this full. Thank you."

"You're most welcome Bones. Thank you for actually letting me do this for you. It's must've been hard, what with you being all independent and awesome." He topped to off with a big, goofy grin.

Goofy or not, it still caused a sharp twinge in a certain part of a certain Forensic Anthropologist we all know. She felt herself spiraling quickly to a place that was ordinarily no man's land. Brennan did a lot of things, but allow herself to think about Booth in the romantic way was not one of them. This no man's land soon started filling her head with scenes of Booth, herself and a beautiful baby girl playing at the park, or the two partners and an adorable baby boy walking through a museum with the Booth boys comically bored. She even saw their child playing with Parker, their older brother from another mother. These images terrified her, and gave her an unknown euphoria she's never felt before. 'I'm going to blame what I'm about to do on that.' she decided as she slowly stood and grabbed his slightly trembling hand.

"Um, where we goin' Bones?" Booth asked nervously. 'Got damn it, it's not supposed to happen yet. I gotta make her fall in love with me first.' he panicked to himself.

"Just to the sofa Booth." She grinned, "What were you thinking, I was going to take you to my room and ravish you?" she asked, only joking a little bit.

Brennan laughed out loud from the gentle blush that crept up on his face. Then, she blushed after he said, "No, but I don't know if I could resist such an offer." They walked hand in hand to her sofa, then sat down closely, thigh to thigh. She couldn't figure out why she led him from the slight safety of the kitchen to the dangerous territory of the couch, but they were there now, and she couldn't think of anything else but the feeling her body pinned down into the sofa, under his deliciously broad body. Any other time, any other man, she would just have at it, but she knew that would simply mess up the evening and cause him to become standoffish. She never wanted him to be like that with her, and when she thought about whenever he was, an involuntary tremble escaped her.

Booth glanced at her milky forearm and saw goose pimples prickle her skin. "You cold?"

She mentally kicked herself for physically showing her frustrations. "No." Came out with zero conviction. His hand almost instinctually, ran itself up her forearm, to warm her, then back down. He smiled slightly, "Yeah, you're not cold at all."

"Told you." Bones whispered, almost to herself.

"You did." He admitted. "Well if you're not cold, why are you all shaky?" he wasn't going to say anything about it, but he wanted to make sure she was alright with everything.

"I am?" Huh, I didn't notice." she instantly lied.

"You don't have to lie Temperance, you can admit you're nervous about being on this couch with me right now."

"Well if you knew the answer, why did you ask me the question?" she asked perplexed.

"I wanted to see if you would be honest with me." he admitted.

"Well I apologize for not doing so." she said timidly, feeling like a kid caught stealing a cookie out the cookie jar.

"It's okay Bones, I haven't been completely honest with you over the years." he said as his head lowered and he took a deep breath.

"What haven't you been honest about Booth?" she asked, full of fear that he was hiding something bad from her. She thought she knew all his faults, but now she wondered if she was wrong.

"How I've felt about you all these years. What I've felt towards you." he admitted.

"And, how have you felt about me Booth?" she questioned.

"I don't know how to really explain it Bones, I don't know how to tell you, I've thought about all the different ways I could tell you, but the words never sound right, they never sound perfect, and I want them to be perfect Temperance. You deserve perfect."

He wanted to say it. THE words. The words he's wanted to tell her for 4 years. The words he's wanted to say to her since he realized them the moment he pulled her from the earth he would scorch to keep her safe, and make her feel loved.

'I love you Temperance Brennan.' He thought, as he leaned his body onto her's and took control of her lips. She kissed back immediately, but immediately wondered if the words he wanted to say, were the words she was thinking about before he got there. Then as he slowly eased his body on top of hers, and she spread her legs to accommodate his hips, she wondered if she wanted to say the words first, because deep down she KNEW those were the words she was thinking about.

Other words however, escaped her lips, and slipped between his before she could stop them, "Are we going to have sex tonight Booth, because I would really like that."

He pulled his face away from her and looked deep into her eyes, and saw nothing but honesty in them. He asked, "What?" even though he heard her loud and clear, and her body was further help in helping him understand what she just said, as her legs created a vice around his hips, holding onto them for dear life.

"What?" she mumbled.

"You said… come on Bones, you know what you just said. You mean it?"

"Well of course I meant it, I'm extremely aroused right now, and even though I know, well, I assume you don't have sex on the first date, because of your gentlemanly ways, it's just…"

"How many times do I gotta tell ya I'm not a prude Temperance huh? Do I gotta just take you on this couch, or what, against that wall over there? Yes, I've had sex on the first date before Bones… Several times actually, but no matter how much I want you right now, and no matter how long we've already waited, I can't just… sex you up tonight. I can't just, "sex you up" anyways. It's deeper than that Bones. I know you know that. If you really want me as much as I want you too right now, than we'll just have to think of something else to do to relieve this, arousal as you so love to put it, but we're not making love tonight."

In an instant, she felt his hot hand creeping up her leg, then silently moaned as his hand reached a part of her that wanted something else of his there. She felt him palm her warm mound, and whimpered as he suddenly took his hand away from her, and ran it up and down the skin of her silky thigh.

"You gotta tell me what you want Tempe."

'God, I've always wanted him to call me that.' she thought, but she honestly only wanted to hear it just like this, all hot and bothered. It did something to her that she couldn't explain even if she wanted to.

"Tell me what you want." he softly, but seriously demanded.

"I want you to touch me Booth." she panted.

"Where?" he asked as he took his hand from underneath her dress. "Wherever you want me to touch, you gotta tell me."

"Touch me where you want." she said as she slowly licked a tiny spot of his neck.

He growled deep, then mumbled, "This isn't about what I want, not yet anyways, this is about you Temperance. What do you want?"

"I want you to kiss me Booth."

"Yes ma'am." he whispered as he took control of her lips with his own. He slipped her his tongue with a moan, and she could honestly say she's never been kissed like this before. She expected he would save the best for the actual sex, but she was pleasantly surprised when she felt his lips give it their all.

"Is that it?" he asked in between kisses. "Is this all you want me to do to you right now?"

"God no…" she moaned as his lips left her's and strolled down to the hot skin underneath her right ear.

"What else do you want?" he asked as he kissed his way back up her jaw, and placed butterfly kisses all over her face.

She ran her hand down his chest, past his tight stomach, lower still, past the cocky belt buckle she's been itching to take off all night, to the ever growing bulge in his pants. "I think I made it clear earlier what else I want Booth."

He relished in the feeling of her hand on his on top of his straining erection, but soon put a stop to her stroking hand. "No means no Bones, you know the perimeters, now give me something, or we can just do something else…"

"Don't you even think you're about to leave me like." she threatened as his words of ceasing scared the daylights out of her.

"Well…" he inquired as he grabbed her roaming hand and pinned it over her head on the sofa. If she was naked, her breast would be straining up high, calling to him to keep his mouth there for a very long time.

"Would me asking for cunnilingus be something you would be willing to do?" she asked timidly, even though ever inch of her being wanted him to say 'no I don't mind at all'.

"Would I be willing to go down on you? Would I tease that wet…mmm… with my tongue and lips? That's all I ever think about doing to you, well, that and some other stuff, but Temperance, I want to…. but I don't wanna taste you, not yet. I want that to be during our first night together. I want it to be the most incredible night of sex you've ever had, and I plan on eating that pussy a few times…"

"So Booth, you won't have intercourse with me, and you won't provide oral sex to me, so what do you expect me to want? Everything I want, you won't give it to me…" she softly said, feeling her emotions and frustration behind her words.

"Well I'm sorry for making you feel like that Tempe, but you gotta understand, I've been waiting to do everything I've ever thought about doing to you, and with you, but I want to build something with us first. Of course we could fuck ourselves to sleep right here on this couch, but I want…I just want everything to be perfect. Especially if we're gonna try…" He put his hand on her flat stomach and breathed deeply. He composed himself before she could comment and said, "I might not give you The Hammer of Thor, or this ridiculously awesome tongue tonight, but I'm gonna make you cum."

Before she could comprehend it, or ask if he was referring to his penis when he said 'Hammer of Thor', Booth moved her panties to the side and thrust two thick fingers in her slick pussy. She bit back a yelp as she really realized how long it had been since she's had a man anywhere near inside her.

"Shit you're wet Bones…"

"I'm retardedly aroused Booth, and your fingers feel so good…"

He chuckled deeply as she explained how she was retardedly aroused, and began working her pulsing clit, rubbing it clockwise, then counterclockwise drawing a ludicrously long moan as he then pumped his fingers into her flush womanhood.

"Mmmm, you're nice and tight for me too." he mumbled as he began thrusting his digits onto her sensitive g-spot.

"I do Kegal exercises to keep it that way."

"Well let me just thank you in advance, I'm gonna fit good and tight in you Temperance, I want you to know that now." he mumbled into her ear canal as he softly licked the hollow of her ear and pumped his fingers even faster.

She could feel her orgasm building stronger and harder, and then as his lips came back to hers, and he gave her his tongue like no one else ever has, she let go a piercing scream as her climax took her by surprise, then took over her entire body. He just moaned into her mouth for the beautiful show she just put on for him.

"That was amazing Bones." he complimented, as he nuzzled her neck and smelled her truly for the first time. Slight sheen on her skin from the orgasm they worked up, and something else that he had never smelled on her, himself, his aftershave to be exact.

"You say that, and you didn't feel what I felt, I think that's absurd." she breathed, as she tried to will her pulse and breathing back to normal. "Plus, I orgasmed WAY to fast, I didn't even get to savor it."

"I know that you felt it strongly though," Wink. "that's all I need to feel amazed." he then pressed his lips onto hers again, much slower and methodical this time, savoring the taste of her, and thinking about the next time she will scream like that will be from him being inside of her and driving her absolutely insane with pleasure. "And I don't mind making you come quick. Let's me know I did it right." He said with a feral smile.

"Manual stimulation has never been that gratifying." she whispered in between his kisses.

"Good." he mumbled back. He wanted everything he did to her to be the same way, like no one else has ever done to her.

She firmly grabbed his erection and asked, "What are we going to do about this?"

He grabbed her hand and brushed it aside, even though he let her feel him up one more time. "WE'RE not gonna do anything about this, I'm gonna head home and handle this myself, and you're gonna get some rest, we got a big day ahead of us."

"Wha- I thought you were going to help me research children and stuff…" she complained, trying to think of an excuse to make him stay just a bit longer. "Why would you apply manual stimulation to yourself when I can provide it for you?"

"This isn't about me Bones… if I stay, I don't think I'm gonna be able to keep it in my pants, so I need to go. " he explained, and she could tell he was serious.

He dismounted her body and she sat up and watched him stand in front of her. She then stood up and gave him an incredible kiss, a kiss she wanted him to remember, a kiss she wanted him to be hot and bothered over for the rest of the night. They broke apart, gasping for breath.

"Damn Bones, what are you doing to me?" he whined as his hands trailed down her sides.

"I'm trying to convince you to stay…" she mumbled truthfully.

"Don't you think I want to stay? Believe me, I do, but I don't think it's the best idea right now." he said slightly pained.

"Why?"

"Why do you think Bones. I'm aching for you right now, but we're not going to go there for a little while."

"But… I….I don't want to sleep alone tonight. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want you to stay with me tonight. I don't think you will let anything happen tonight, even if you want to."

He grabbed her waist, pulled her tight against him, and kissed her deep. "God Temperance, I want to."

"I trust you'll do what you think is right." she said earnestly.

He inhaled and exhaled deeply, and looked into her eyes for the slightest hint of hesitation. When he found not a trace, he thought, 'Maybe she's right. I would love to crash here and spoon the hell out of her tonight.'

"You better not wear anything sexy to bed tonight, 'cause if you do, I am SO not staying." he amended.

She smiled a victory smile and thanked whatever god was around at the time for this opportunity to be with him for a whole night. She figured he was dead serious about not doing anything tonight, but she was still thankful for the chance to just have him in her arms. "I promise." she whispered as she gave him a kiss. "but I think I need to say that to you, because I'm pretty sure I know what you're gonna sleep in and I don't think that's very fair to me."

He simply smiled and said, "As long as you've been tempting me Temperance…. I think it's justified."

The Queen's Declaration: So there ya go. This was at least slightly shorter than others, but I just wanted to get this out of the way and end this date. They will still do teamwork on learning child rearing, but I'm pretty sure Booth will hook her up. And since I've written this, I found out the new season premier is September 23rd. OH HAPPY DAY! My next chapter will be up soon, don't ask me when soon is, but I got some beats to finish, and some finals, so maybe around next week sometime, if I can get over this writers block I got. It's all bad for me right now, but hopefully inspiration will strike, and I'll hook it up. Please review, 'cause Reviews are like leggins...they set you free, and you can just let it all out... yeah, that was a lame one, but just review anyways please, I'm trying to get over the hundred mark, and I'm almost there...!
