LOVE HEALS 26
She cupped his face. "Don't worry Booth," she kissed him lightly. "I may be clueless when it comes to a lot of things that are considered normal but not about this. Not about us. What I have to tell you is--I have my memory back. I remember everything. I remember you."
His eyes went wide. "When did this happen?" She blushed. Booth couldn't believe that she was actually blushing. "Bones?" he questioned, forcing her to look at him.
"The memories came in a series of flashes when I came."
Thinking back, realization on that moment came to him. "That's why you bolted up. Because you remembered everything."
She nodded. Slowly getting up on her knees, she looked at him and Booth felt himself go weak with the vulnerability that she was so willing to share with him. Something he knew that she didn't do lightly or very easily.
"I'm tired of being scared and being afraid. Of being alone. I want to be happy Booth. And I want to be happy with you."
"I'm never going to leave you," he swore.
She let out a small chuckle. "You may have to at times. That's part of your job. Just as mine will at times require me to leave you. But we'll always come back to each other."
"We'll always come home to one another."
"Home," she smiled. "I like the sound of that."
Then she was unbuttoning his shirt and sliding it off as his lips met hers. "Temperance," he sighed into her mouth. She looked at him; he could see the confusion in her eyes. "Bones is my partner. Temperance is my lover."
She smiled into his kiss as her hands moved to his pants. "Booth is my partner. Seeley is my lover."
"Exactly." A groan escaped his mouth as she freed him, holding onto him in the process. He could feel her shaking, knowing that he was shaking too. He felt like he was going to explode. He needed to get a grip. He wasn't a school boy with a girl in the back seat of his pick-up for the 1st time. He was an adult, already with one kid. He shouldn't be fumbling and ready the way that he was.
They both just needed to calm down. He pulled back and kissed her softly. "We have all night. No reason to rush," he murmured.
"I agree." Then she had him on his back and very slowly and deliberately traced hands and lips down his body. He let out a hiss when her tongue teased his right nipple. She let out a gurgle of a laugh when his arms tightened around her. She teased him only going a multimeter of an inch lower every thirty-two seconds--the sniper in him had Booth calculating how long she spent on each piece of his flesh.
Just a little under twelve minutes later, he growled and picked her up-tossing her on her back. "Enough of this," and he plunged right into her.
Her nails dug into his shoulders as she began to match his rhythm. Kisses heated and fueled their tempo. Both wanting to go slow and yet the build-up was so much that they couldn't help themselves and it was over quickly.
However quick, it was amazing for both of them and they held onto each other tightly for a couple of minutes regaining their breath before beginning again.
