Chapter Two || The next 24

She found a sexual relationship with Booth to be as satisfying as she had predicted it to be. They're chemistry was more exquisite in the bedroom as it was in the field and she knew that they were only going to become more compatible with each other the more they got to know each other personally.

There was just a small hitch in the situation, and that was the million steps they had skipped from partners to husband and wife. Her lack of impulse control was frightening and Temperance found herself lost in her thoughts trying to come up with a logical reason as to why she had married him.

"In the case of simple cause and effect, I saw that my father was arrested and my brother being on the run and decided that -" She was cut off with lips on hers and she hummed as Booth pushed her against the couch.

"24 hours, you promised." He mumbled his bare skin against hers causing a fire to brew within her. "I still have 18 hours left." He added as he looked at the clock. They had spent the last six hours enjoying breakfast and then collapsing on the couch in sexual arousal where they had stayed, a movie she had never heard of being ignored in favor of one another.

She sighed at his statement and nodded. "Fine, but note that by that time I will have an entire speech prepared and you will listen to every bit of it. Also you will be dressed, I find that my ability to form appropriate sentences lesson when I look at you in the nude."

"Sounds like you're speaking just fine to me." Booth smirked as he kissed her collarbone just wanting to continue taking her in for as long as possible.

He wasn't entirely sure what he was thinking when he asked her to marry him like that, never in his life had he done something so impulsive but he knew it was meant to be. He had known since he met her that day at American University that fate was bringing them together, he just hadn't known exactly what that meant at that point in time.

Bones didn't believe in love or marriage, the two very things he believed in more than anything. They were complete opposites in that aspect and many others yet there they were married on a whim and it terrified him that the second he let her talk they would be divorced as quickly as it began.

"Booth? Did you fall asleep on me?" She asked making him chuckle from his position with his lips still on her shoulder.

"Was just thinking." Booth answered as he moved back to her lips, his arms wrapped around her tightly.

"You just said we weren't allowed to do that." She teased him making him grin as he took in her beauty. He may not know what all of this meant but he really felt like the luckiest guy in the world having her in his arms. She was his best friend, the person he would kill and die for and that felt like enough for him.

"Okay, we can think but we can't talk about it." He reasoned watching her roll her eyes at him and he chuckled. Sitting up he let go of the hold he had on her and stretched before making his way to the bedroom and finding his boxers and a shirt for her to slip on. "I'm going to order lunch. Wong Foos sound good?"

He was already hitting speed dial by the time she had answered, the sight of her swimming in his shirt making his mouth water as he quickly turned her attention from her so he could put in their usual order.

It wasn't long after their food arrived and they had eaten that Booth and Brennan had found themselves back into his bed. "You know if you wanted to have intercourse with me, all you had to do was say so. We didn't have to dive into absurdity and get married first. It's not like either of us are virgins."

"Hey! We promised, no talking about the 'M' word for 24 hours and I still have plenty of time." Booth pouted.

"Okay, I am sorry. You should just know that while I do not believe in psychology, I am sure that Gordan Gordan has a good explanation for this or better yet possible an MRI may be beneficial." Bones stated making Booth groan and put his pillow over his head.

"Come on, Bones, don't ruin things here. We're in a bubble, don't pop it, I want to stay in it for as long as possible." He knew before he even finished the sentence that she was confused and it made him smile as he removed the pillow from his face. "It's a figure of speech, just let us have fun for a little while longer. Okay?" He pleaded.

"Well if you insist." She said with a smile before rolling on top of him. "I suppose I can let it be for now."
