Chapter 11 – Rise and shine


They drifted off easily; both exhausted having been up 28 hours. Having agreed to request a wake-up call for 2:30, they climbed into bed though there was a brief moment of embarrassment. Booth simply lifted his arm inviting Temperance to spoon with him.

As though it was the most natural thing in the world to occur, Tempe's thoughts just before she fell asleep were of total comfort and security. While Booths were more along the line of I am the luckiest man in the world as his arm tightened around Temperance's waist drifting into the most wonderful sleep in years.

God, what is that noise, shut it off; shut it off, Tempe chanted silently, as she covered her head with a pillow. Booth rolled over quickly, picking up the offending phone and answered, "Yes, yes, Thank you."

Booth glanced back at Bones; his eyes followed the lines of her body, starting at her pink tipped toes, following the gorgeous line of her legs. Booth was definitely a leg man and Bones had the best legs around, he fondly remember her in that amazing wonder woman costume. Though it been a while since he had seen them, but they were in full view now.

His eyes continued his slow perusal and moved onto the rise of her derriere that definitely caught his attention. As did the small boy shorts barely covering her backside where her oversized T-Shirt had ridden up and stopped covering her decently.

His mind wandered to earlier, grateful he had no idea those were there, he wasn't sure he'd had slept a wink…. It didn't take a genius to figure out where his thoughts were going and his noticeable reaction, he did as any man did … he teased.

Lightly he smacked Tempe's butt, then jumped out of bed as he called back, "Come on Bones, we've got a murder to solve." This left a grumpy Brennan wondering what hit her.


A/N: I know, I know it's a short one... but it definitely has a total Booth moment.
