Chapter 9

They walked hand in hand under the boardwalk.

"So Bones, what did you want to talk about."

Brennan sighed and looked up at him. "Booth, I have to ask you a question." "Well... questions."

"Shoot."

"Well, when we kissed this morning, I felt something , something I can't explain. She leaned against one of the wooden posts. "I felt like"-

"That everything around you has disappeared, and we where the only two standing there," Booth finished. He walked closer to her and continued. "It was like nothing that you have ever felt before."

Brennan started to breath deeply now that Booth only two inches from pushing up against her body. "Booth, you were right." "I did like the kiss... a lot." Booth smiled at her.

"So what's your question Bones."

Her blue eyes met his brown. "Why?" "Why did we feel the way we did?"

Booth took her hand in his. "Maybe it was just a result of being caught up in the moment," he replied. "Maybe it won't happen next time."

Brennan was about to ask him another question, when she suddenly became confused. "What do you mean next time?"

Before she could say anything else, Booth leaned in and kisses her tenderly. Brennan couldn't help herself. She didn't pull back, instead she moves closer and the kiss heats up. Kissing him back with more pressure and passion that he did her. Their attraction is too intense to ignore. Booth snakes his hands around her waist and locked his fingers. Brennan wrapped her arms around his neck. Booth reluctantly pulled back and stared into her eyes.

"Did you feel anything that time," he asked. Brennan didn't say anything, just pulled him back down for another kiss.

They didn't know how long they were down there, they just knew it was a long time. No, they were not having sex. Just making up by making out. By the time they reached the car, it was 11:17pm. The drive back to the cabin was silent, on a count that Brennan had fallen asleep. It took them an hour to reach the cabin. Booth yawned and looked over at Temperance who was fast asleep. He smiled at her. He got out of the car and walked over to her side of the car. He put the key in his hand first before he lifted her up. He kicked the door shut and walked over to the cabin.

He kicked the door closed behind him. He walked down the hall to the bedroom and laid her down on the bed. He took off her shoes and covered her with the sheets. He then kissed her on top of the forehead. He changed out of his clothes into a t-shirt and some pajama pants. He got a blanket out of the closet and took his usual place on the couch. Somehow, he wasn't very comfortable right there anymore. Now that he and Brennan admitted their feelings for each other, he feels that he should be closer to her. He got of the couch and quietly walked down the hallway to the bedroom. He softly closed the door behind him and got in the bed.

The pressure from him sitting on the bed must have awaken her. "Booth is that you," she asked tiredly.

"Shhh, just go back to sleep." He wrapped his arm around her stomach and kissed the back of her head. In a matter of minutes, they were both asleep.
