AN: Here it is...chapter 10 is done now....originally, I planned for this story to have around 3 or 4 chapters....and now there are already 10 and still no end in sight....I hope you don't mind if I add a few more chapters....anyway on with the story. Still not mine!

Booth didn't seem to get what she wanted from him. He stood motionless in the living room and stared at her. Brennan was done talking though and grabbed his arm to get him to move.

"Come on Booth move. Don't make me drag you."

"What are you doing? Where are we going Bones?"

"I'm tired. We are going to bed now."

"We?" Booth squeaked.

He wasn't sure how to react now. What did she want them to do? Just going to bed? Sleeping next to each other in the same bed? Cuddling closer than they ever were? Really sleeping together?

His confusion must have shown on his face, for she told him to just do as she told him for now. And he did. He didn't care what she had planned for them, he would just take it as it came.

But I will not have sex with her tonight. It could be so much more than just sex and she is not ready for that yet. When we take that step, we will be making love.

Brennan hadn't planned to have sex anyway. She just wanted to be close to him and she had no idea why. It never happened to her before. So far, all she wanted was sex and she was more than happy when they decided to go afterwards. Why was it so different now?

Because it is Booth, a voice, which sounded a lot like Angela, inside her head answered.

Maybe she is right and I feel this way because I really am in love with Booth. But is he feeling the same thing? Or is it just me? I can't tell him, if it means to risk loosing what we have now.

During her musing, they had made it to her bedroom and she pulled him with her through the door. Now they were standing at the foot of her bed and a little unsure what to do now. Finally, Brennan pulled the covers back, climbed in and motioned for Booth to follow.

"Are you sure about this, Bones? I don't want you to feel like you have to do anything. And maybe I should go and put a shirt on, after all."

"Just get in here already. I know that you are not putting any pressure on me, I want to sleep next to you."

And a lot quieter she murmured "And I want to feel your skin."

Of course, Booth had heard her anyway, but he decided that he wouldn't embarrass her even more. She already admitted that she wanted to feel his skin once; he wouldn't make her repeat it now.

Sliding under the covers, Temperance was still holding up for him, he made himself comfortable before turning around to face her once again. She was looking up at him with a shy expression on her gorgeous face and he couldn't help his hand reaching out to touch her. He was only human in the end.

Brennan came willingly as he lightly pulled her closer to him under to covers. After one last long look, she laid her head on his naked chest, right atop his heart, and closed her eyes. Booth was enveloping her in his arms and pulling her flush against him from head to toe.

"Bones? Can you look at me, for a moment? I have to tell you something."

Temperance grudgingly pulled her head away from his chest to look into his eyes once again.

But instead of talking, Booth just stared into her eyes for a moment and then pulled her head closer to his own. She could see his chocolate colored orbs getting even darker as their faces got closer and closer.

He is going to kiss me. I can see it in his eyes. I bet he tastes as good as he smells…

Seconds after this thought, she could no longer think about anything else than his lips pressing down on hers, the feeling, the smell and hopefully the taste. Except he hadn't done anything so far. He was still looking at her with his dark eyes and she could feel her heart rate accelerate in her chest at the sight before her.

He was a handsome man she had always known that. With his dark looks and the sexy grin, every woman they'd met had given him a second glance. To see him without a shirt was an even better sight, but one that not just everyone should be permitted to see.

I don't want any other woman seeing him like that…Where did that came from now?

Right now, only inches away from her face, she could see the golden dots in his eyes, making him look even more perfect to her.

She had thought about kissing him again for a long time now. Their only kiss had been last Christmas, a whole year ago and she couldn't wait to have the feeling she had had back then, again.

However, he seemed to be waiting for something. And all of a sudden, she knew. He was waiting for her to do the first step. He had made it clear that she would have to make all the decisions about persuading their relationship any further and now was the time to start doing so.

She kept looking into his eyes, as she started to close the remaining gap between them. Nothing could delay her kissing him anymore, even if Parker decided to interrupt once again, she would have to make him wait, because she couldn't wait anymore. She had to feel this connection again. They always shared a solid bond and touching each other's arm or the small of her back in Booth's case, seemed to intensify this bond ten times. She could only imagine what kissing, really kissing without any witnesses, could make her feel like.

She was determined to find out immediately and finally, she pressed her lips on his for the first time. A jolt of joy and happiness flashed through her body, with the feeling of his lips under hers. His lips were soft, a lot softer than she imagined them to be, but also firm. He was not just letting her kiss him either. Once she had made the first move, he had started pressing up against her.

His large hands were tangled in her hair, as he tried to get closer to her still. He wanted to feel her and touch her and at last make her his, but he knew that they should take things slow. But there was nothing wrong with a little touching here and there, right?

He let his hands wander down her back, till they were gripping her by the hips and he could hold her as close as he wanted her to be, which was pretty much the closest someone could imagine. She felt perfect in his arms and he was hoping to spend the rest of the night exactly like this, when he felt her lips opening up to him.

Her tongue was stroking along the edges of his lips for a moment, before he opened his own mouth to her and let their tongues duel for the first time.

She tastes so good.

He tastes even better than I imagined.

Their lips stayed locked for another few minutes before they had to separate. They were both breathing shallow and had to catch their breath, but the juvenile smile on both their faces told them all they had to know anyway. They both wanted this and nothing would get them apart now.

Pressing on last lingering kiss on her still slightly parted lips, Booth reached up to the bedside light and plunged them into darkness. There was no need to talk about anything now, they both wouldn't run away and they still had over a week left before they would have to go back to DC. They had enough time to talk about this, right now all they wanted to do was going to sleep next to each other as lovers for the first time.

AN2: You all know how it works. Push the little button waiting for your attention and leave me a review. Do you think I am going too slow? or too fast? should I make them do more than kissing soon? or at all? I can't wait to hear from you all.
