A/N: Disclaimer Repeat - I do not own any part of Bones. This is just for fun. ;) Please be reminded that this story is rated M. It's a light M, honestly, not smut, but you know, I wanted to be safe. It's not like the 1st chapter of my fic The Poison in the Pen. That was definitely M. Anyway, Now that I have that little warning out of the way, I should tell you that there aren't too many more chapters for this fic left. My word document tells me there's only 23 in total.

The Push in the Partnership

Chapter 21

They continued to kiss as Booth lowered himself so they could feel their bodies touching from chest to groin. "Do you know how much I love you?," he asked.

"Yes, and I love you just as much."

"Oh, so I guess I don't have to prove it to you then," he said with a grin as he began to pull away.

But Brennan held onto him tight. "Oh no. You're not going anywhere. You have sufficiently proven your love to me many times in our relationship. This is not about proof." She tightened her legs around his waist and pulled him still closer. "This is about a physical expression of our love, not about proof of it." She gave a tug and he fell onto her. "Now, hurry up and do me. We only have 47 minutes left."

Booth laughed. "Yes, ma'am. I aim to please," he assured her. He shifted his body and joined them in the most intimate way. He began to move slowly, blissfully enjoying the contact he had craved for so long.

Brennan's hands gripped his shoulders as he increased his speed and settled into a new rhythm. "Booth," she moaned. She was already so close. "Oh- !" She arched up to kiss him and ravaged his mouth. Her tongue invaded his mouth and she aggressively pushed toward him to further the contact. "Roll over," she told him.

"No, this is my show, Bones," he replied, pushing her back into the softness of the pillows. She didn't challenge him, immediately. But the alpha female in her wouldn't merely allow him to take over, displaying to his chosen mate why he was the alpha male.

They continued to war for sexual dominance until Brennan was forced to give up. The intense sensations building in her body overcame her and she had no choice but to cling to Booth as the waves of her orgasm crashed repeatedly over her.

Booth smiled smugly with his eyes twinkling wildly. He loved making her lose control. He could still feel her contracting around him, encouraging him. But still he continued, undaunted in his mission. And when he could take no more, he allowed his steely control to slip, groaning, and spilling, giving himself up to the power of his pleasure.

They walked into the Hoover just 24 minutes late for their meeting with Agent Perotta.

"Good morning, Dr. Brennan," Perotta said as Brennan sat down at the table.

"Good morning," she told the other woman. "I apologize for my tardiness. I was unavoidably detained this morning. Booth will be joining us soon. Director Cullen asked to speak to him as we exited the elevator."

Agent Perotta nodded in understanding. "I wanted to apologize again for my nosiness when we last spoke."

"I understand your curiosity on the subject. When I first announced my intention to have a child everyone I told was shocked at my decision. The expression on Booth's face was particularly memorable." She smiled at the memory.

"You hadn't discussed it with him before reaching a decision?," Perotta asked, her curiosity piqued again.

"Not in the way you may think. We were in a session with Dr. Sweets, engaged in a ridiculously juvenile game. When, during the course of the game I made the decision. Booth and Sweets were both surprised."

Perotta sat down across the table from Brennan. "I'm sorry, Dr. Brennan, but I have to ask. Booth said you already have the father for your baby picked out. Who is he?"

Brennan shook her head. "I do. However, I'm not sure he would be comfortable with me telling anyone else. We haven't concluded with our negotiations yet. And at this point, I am unsure as to whether or not I wish to pursue the matter."

Booth walked in and regarded the two women carefully. They looked like they were having a friendly conversation, and he found that odd. He knew they didn't like each other. "Hello, ladies," he greeted them. Brennan smiled at him and Perotta batted her eyelashes as she returned his greeting. He ignored her and asked his partner, "Pursue what?"

"I was just telling Agent Perotta that I didn't feel comfortable telling anyone else who I have chosen as the father of my progeny due to the facts that we are still in negotiation and I am unsure of whether or not I wish to proceed."

"Oh." He took the chair at the end of the oval table, between the two women, and settled into it. "Cullen gave me some information on a case. He wants us to look into it after we finish with Perotta's case." He held up a folder as evidence of the new case. "Also, I talked to Cullen about that thing we discussed last night. He said that he had already anticipated our discussion and everything has been cleared."

Confusion settled over Brennan's features as she pondered his words. The only discussion she could remember from the night before was convincing Booth to have sex with her. Her brain made the connection, and she nodded. "Excellent."

She turned to the file open in front of her and addressed the agents. "Saturday morning Dr. Saroyan and I examined the remains and completed our reports. We sent each of you copies. Our findings are inconclusive at this juncture. We will have to wait for Dr. Hodgins to finish with the particulate and insect evidence. Also, I finished the tissue markers and submitted the skull to Angela for facial reconstruction. Once we have Dr. Hodgins' report and an ID on the victim, we should be able to move forward."
