Chapter 10 – Bed


Almost stumbling back to their suite, Booth opened the door. With an almost unspoken agreement both turn to their perspective rooms to shower and change.

Booth decided to order breakfast before cleaning up, he picked up the phone and pressed the button for room service, "Hello this is suite 10282, can you send up a fruit bowl, yogurt, cornflakes and the hungry man special with eggs over easy and two pots of coffee and Orange Juice."

After the order was verified, Booth adds, "Okay twenty minutes and please let the staff know they can leave the table outside the door if they get no answer, okay thank you." Booth hungs up and heads to his own room to clean up.

20 minutes later, both feeling a bit more human and breakfast delivered, the conversation drifts back to the case inevitably.

"Okay, let's focus a minute, they have 7 confirmed kills with a possible 8th, each pair spaced one month apart, each is in an excessive decomposed state making identification nearly impossible."

"Bones, I think Angela's going to be the key here, let's make sure to get her what she needs once we get rolling."

Booth having finished his coffee stood and stretched which exposed a tantalizing view of his abdomen. Tempe was not immune and decided to take a nice long look, which caused Booth to quirk his brow along with a matching grin.

"Bones, you like what you see?" rising Tempe reached out and wrapped her arms around his middle and hugged him close as he does the same. She tipped her head back, she sighed, "I'm just enjoying the view of a very attractive attentive man I'd be a fool to look away."

Booth slow smiled appeared before he leaned forward to capturing her lips with his and traced her mouth with his tongue and waited. Sighing Tempe gladly accepts and kisses him back with equal fervor.

He moved mouth to the sensitive flesh of her ear, Tempe tipped her neck back exposing it even more, which allowed for his expert exploration of her sensitive skin all the while clinging to his shoulders, as she moaned for more.

Booth raised his head to look into her desire filled eyes, the leans in to hug her close; he closed his eyes and simply breathed in the scent that was uniquely hers.

"Temperance, you are going to be the death of me, we really need to rest if we're going to be any good later, I hate to throw cold water on us, but we really have to put this aside for the time being."

He pleaded for patience as he looked into her eyes half expecting there to be a bit of hurt in them for his rejection, but Tempe just nodded then added, "Booth your right, we need our wits if we're going to help, but tonight no excuses okay…." her voice trailing off.

Tempe's fingers trace circles on Booth's T-shirt covered chest, looking up to meet his eyes, her own anxious, asked, "Do you think, you could sleep with me…" her voice trailing off softly.

Booth, took her fingers and kissed them lightly, and added, "I'd be honored, let's get to bed Bones, we've got a murder to solve".
