Welcome to my initial chapter in my 2019 Bonesology Summer Challenge. I had trouble at first because of some of the words I had ideas for matched entries I did in the 2016 Challenge, published as titled 2016 Bonesology End of Summer Fanfiction Hodgepodge and on this website.. Then I came up with a plan. Some stories will be sequels or continuations of chapters from that original challenge, some will be remakes of sort, and I'm sure there will be an original or two in the bunch. I'll bold and italicize the words in the challenge and will always give reference to the original chapter from that collection if you would like to read it first.

I have some stories done but if readers of the originals have requests I can see what I can do. Just shoot me a message.

One final thing. Some chapters will be B & B, some will be Aubrey & Jessica, some will be group ones. For those B & B fans who don't like anyone else, you've been warned.

Happy reading.

This chapter is a continuation of 2016's Chapter 1: Broken Air Conditioning. Rated very M.

Where we last left off...

"We're going home, Bones. Aubrey and the squints have everything under control. We're taking advantage of the fact that they think we're in a traffic jam and you currently have no panties on. I'm going to show you how hot I think you are, sixteen extra pounds or not."

"Booth, I'm finding I do enjoy that idea." Brennan said as feeling moisture form between her legs at her husband's determination.

"Where is our exit…where is our exit…yes!" Booth said to himself as he sped with the siren blasting.

As Booth and Brennan were sneaking off for some afternoon delight, Aubrey was at the lab in the Ookey Room with Hodgins and Oliver Wells as the intern put a baton in the entomologist's Vacuum Metal Deposition Chamber. As he waited for the entomologist to examine that piece of evidence, he yawned loudly, tired because of the 4:00 AM phone call he received to go to this morning's scene where three sets of remains were found along with the baton in question. It meant leaving Jessica's lovely body in her bed as she had the day off, but duty called.

While Booth and Brennan were questioning witnesses and taking a trip to Silver Springs, he spent his morning digging through old FBI records as one of the victims was a former secretary in the Financial Division.

'Of course, Booth and Dr. B are now stuck in traffic on K Street due to construction and an accident, so maybe it was good I had to play through dusty old records…at least I was able to stay inside most of the day.'

As he continued to ponder his thoughts, it began to feel hot, so Aubrey began loosening his tie. "Damn it's getting warm in here…"

"Yeah, it is. The AC is acting up all over today and all this equipment running doesn't help." Hodgins drank out of his Yeti cup. "Jessica doing anything today on her day off?"

"No. When we had lunch at the diner, she was going back home to work on her dissertation after buying a new air conditioner because it died this morning." Aubrey smiled as he thought of his girlfriend of four weeks before putting his attention back to the subject at hand. "As for the case, Booth and Brennan struck out with that witness in Silver Springs and they're now stuck in a traffic jam."

"Well, hopefully we get some prints off this baton." Hodgins wheeled away towards his computer and began typing. "When I examined the clothes of all three of our victims, I'd also found traces of Wynnea Americana."

"Which is…" Aubrey asked.

Hodgins pulled a picture up on his computer. "Also known as 'moose antlers' or 'rabbit ears', it's a fungus usually found in the Northern part of the United States, particularly around Michigan to New York. However, it's also been spotted in the George Washington National Forest near the Pandapas Pond."

"That's not far from our crime scene...about ten miles east. Ugh, it's hot." Aubrey took off his coat. "Ugh, I can't wait to get out of this heat and back to Central Air."

"I'll grab Oliver and we can head down there. I love playing with fungus." Hodgins turned his attention to his intern, who had locked the machine. "All set, Oliver?"

"Yes, Dr. Hodgins." Oliver sighed. "The heat will be uncomfortable outside…but science always tops stupid criminals."

"Jessica has told me how cool this thing is…it looks like something out of science fiction…" Aubrey looked the vacuum chamber over. "Can I turn the dial, Hodgins?"

Oliver crossed his arms. "Agent Aubrey, you are not a scientist—"

Hodgins smiled and wheeled out of the way. "Sure. Come on down, Aubrey."

"Dr. Hodgins—" Oliver protested.

"Oliver…let Aubrey play. He's usually stuck in an office while you and I get to enjoy cool slime and stuff…"

The tall man made a face. "Unless he cheats at Aerial Attack—"

"Hey, I won that rematch fair and square…and you're just sore because Jessica whipped your ass at it last weekend. Now move over, Wells."

Oliver shuffled over as Aubrey got ready. When Hodgins gave the go ahead, he started to turn the dial when the power went out. "Uh oh…I think I killed the lab."

"It wasn't you, Aubrey. I think the lab's AC gave up the ghost and we're going to cook in here very soon, guys." Hodgins peeked outside the Ookey Room. "Looks like the power is all out. Wonder if it's all of the museum."

Just then, Cam walked into the lab. "Hodgins, please tell me one of our experiments didn't just kill our power…"

"No, Cam, I'm innocent this time."

"Well, I got a call from security and the entire building has no power, so the museum is closing. We have generators for our refrigerators and other cold storage facilities for our specimens and other evidence but everything else requires power. It's 3:30 now, so I'm letting everyone go home."

"I do need Oliver to check out something with me. We may know where the crime scene from today's case is."

"Okay, call me later if you find something. See you later, Aubrey."

"Bye, Cam." Aubrey made a decision. "It's almost 4:00 and I've been working for 12 hours. If Booth and Dr. B are still stuck in traffic and the lab is closing, then I'm heading home for the day."

"Okay, see you tomorrow, man." Hodgins wheeled out of the Ookey Room with Oliver following to get equipment for their road trip.

Aubrey got out to the parking garage and was hit by steaming heat. He hurried and got into his SUV where he jacked up the air conditioning. "Oh yeah…good stuff."

Aubrey sent a message to Booth letting him know he was off for the day. Hearing his phone buzz as he put it down, he read the message from Mrs. Hall and groaned.

Our block has no power and it may be hours before it's back on. I'm going to my daughter's house for the night.

"Shit…" Aubrey groaned. "I don't want to go back to work…guess I'll go see Jess, even though it will be hot as a you know what there, too. Even with no air conditioning, at least she has power and a fan."

Arriving at her apartment twenty minutes later, Aubrey got out and was hit again with blistering heat, worse since there was no garage to block the sun. Opening the back door to Cho's Grocery, he got some wind from the ceiling fan as he made his way up the stairs.

"After I change into the clothes I have here, we can hit DiAngelo's for an early dinner, then a movie. Yeah, that will work. It's too hot to stay here." Aubrey muttered as he knocked on the door.

Aubrey's plans changed when Jessica opened it wearing a purple cotton sundress with her hair tied back. The agent was punched in the gut with lust as he observed how the outfit was low cut enough that he could see a little bit of her modest cleavage. He liked the length that showed off her long legs and he decided maybe they could wait to go out.

Jessica saw her boyfriend was in a daze. "Superman, are you coming in here or what? It's hot in that hallway."

"Yeah, sorry." Aubrey came in and was relieved to feel only muggy as compared to very hot. "Whew…a bit toasty in here, but not as bad as outside."

"I know. I swear I went to every store in DC and Alexandria but were all sold out of air conditioners. I'm going to look in Bethesda first thing tomorrow because I'm not going to deal with this all week. We may be more comfortable at your apartment with the central air tonight…"

Taking off his coat, he placed it on the back of the couch and took off his tie. "I have no power at my apartment, Jess. Mrs. Hall let me know. I still have to feed Skinner in the next few hours or so, but you're stuck with me tonight."

"That sucks."

Aubrey made a face. "Geez…thought you would appreciate my company…"

"You know I'm talking about the heat and not you." Jessica smacked his arm as he snickered. "You're a brat. Since I have power, then I guess we're here for a while. Do you want to get a pizza and maybe have ice cream in the park later?"

"Sounds good. Maybe we can go to a movie afterwards…anywhere with air conditioning." Aubrey unbuttoned the first few buttons of his shirt. "I should get out of these clothes. Are my spare clothes still in your bedroom?"

"Yes. Second drawer in my dresser."

Aubrey left and returned five minutes later in cargo shorts and a Green Day t-shirt. While not as hot, he was still uncomfortable. "I hate heat."

"Heat is better than cold, Aubrey. Let me get you something to drink." Jessica walked around the center island to her small kitchen. "I'm having some iced green tea…"

Aubrey wasn't paying attention to his girlfriend, only seeing where the dress stuck to her skin on her back and how its terminus rode dangerously close to her ass. 'It's too hot for sex…it's too hot for sex…damn I want to throw her on the counter and hump her brains out…too hot for sex, Aubrey!'

Realizing Jessica was waiting for him to answer, Aubrey shook his head. "What, Jess?"

Jessica sighed. "I asked if you wanted water, Coke, or some of that iced cappuccino from the farmer's market that you like so much. What has your attention elsewhere, Aubrey?"

"Sorry…you know how much I hate early wake up calls…didn't get my donuts and coffee until after 6:00…I'll take some of that ice cappuccino, please."

"Poor baby…didn't get his junk food right away…" Jessica chuckled and bent down in the fridge again. "If you make this yourself, it's not as sugary or full of crap as opposed to buying the…whoa…Aubrey…"

Jessica was surprised as she turned around to see her boyfriend was standing next to her looking at her like he wanted her for his next meal. "…um…store…stuff…"

"I know…but I don't want the drink anymore…I'm in the mood for something else."

"Oh…okay…um…wow…" Jessica shuddered as those blue eyes of his turned dark and dangerous. "Um…what do you want?"

Aubrey responded by moving his hand moved under her dress to play with her ass. As she moaned softly, he moved her out of the way to shut the fridge before leaning her up against the wall. "Do you really need to ask, Jessica?"

Jessica could feel his hard on right by her navel and even though she was hot and tired, she couldn't help but moan as he bent down to nibble on her neck. "Superman, you know I love sex with you…it's really, really good…but it's about 80 degrees in here…ohhhh wow…"

"I know…" Aubrey picked her up and pinned her against the wall. Moving his hand between her legs, he felt her wetness and her moan confirmed it wasn't just from the heat. "…but Jessica I don't care right now."

Kissing her hard, the two clung to each other before the agent turned and planted her on her kitchen counter, knocking her purse and two of her textbooks on the floor. She undid his pants and opened his zipper before he pulled the top of her dress down, revealing she had no bra on.

"Damn, Jess…"

"It was too hot to wear one." Jessica muttered before pushing her boyfriend's shorts and boxers down to his knees. When she was done, Aubrey reached underneath, pulled Jessica's panties off her, and tossed them on the floor.

Their meeting was quick and frenzied, punctured by moans on both sides as they forgot about the temperatures outside. It wasn't long before Jessica's nails scratched Aubrey's back. "Aubrey…James…I'm going to…oooohhhhhhhh…."

When Jessica reached her climax, it didn't take Aubrey long to follow her. "Oh Christ…fuck…"

The two remained where they were, with Jessica's legs wrapped around her boyfriend and his pants now almost to his ankles. They panted as they came back down from their high and after they recovered, Aubrey lifted his head up. "So, do you want to head down to DiAngelo's for a pizza and some beer now?"

Jessica couldn't stop herself from laughing as Aubrey backed up while pulling up his boxer shorts and pants. "Sure, just let me put on a bra on before we go."

"Good idea. I can't let other guys see how hot you are." Aubrey chuckled. "Man, I think we're having a better day than Booth and Dr. B are."

"Why is that?" Jessica jumped off the counter and picked up her underwear.

"Because they're stuck in a traffic jam coming back from Silver Springs and we got to fool around in your kitchen." Aubrey headed towards Jessica's bedroom. "I need a quick shower."

"I'll join you in there." Jessica followed her boyfriend out of the kitchen. "It's too bad Agent Booth and Dr. B are stuck in traffic in this hot weather."

*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*

"Booth, yes…yes…yes…oh…oh my…oh…Booth!" Brennan screamed.

The couple were in their bedroom, their clothes making a trail from the entry way down the hall. Booth was on the bed, pumping up into his wife as she gyrated on top of him. Loving how her ample breasts bounced as she rode him, he caressed them as she came. It only took a few strokes for him to follow her. When they were done, Brennan collapsed next to her husband.

"Now Bones…do you…understand…how hot…you are…sixteen…pounds…is nothing…"

The anthropologist caught her breath. "I…understand Booth. I do think I want to make a change, but it will be for me and no one else. Ms. Warren has been after me to start going to yoga with her. Maybe I'll do that along with Pilates."

Booth held her close. "Whatever you want, Bones. Just know that you're beautiful no matter what, all right?"

"I understand Booth. I also understand one more thing…"

"What's that, Bones?"

"How glad I am we have air conditioning and are still not trapped in your SUV in this very unbearable heat."

The couple laughed together. "Bones, want to try getting one more in before Max brings the kids home?"

"I think I would enjoy making love one more time, Booth…"
