Temperance slammed the door behind her. She walked into her living room and discarded her lab coat onto the floor. Quickly, she had gone into her bedroom, opened her dresser drawers, pulled out a tee-shirt and baggy old shorts and put them on. His image came to her immediately and every moment, every touch they shared lingered in her head. She collapse down on her knees and cried. Embarrassment overcame her. She closed her eyes shut, yet his image still stayed in her mind. Her telephone rang, but she ignored to answer it. Then, her cell phone had rung immediately after. She knew it was him calling, that FBI agent who had made passionate love to her and she to him for what seemed like hours throughout the night. She hadn't known how long she'd been on the floor, slowly she pulled herself up and retreated into the kitchen to make herself a cup of coffee.

it rained hard that day and Temperance sat on her living room sofa with a blanket wrapped around her. Rain poured down heavily and flooded the streets. She sighed miserably. It had been a wasted Saturday as she laid around her house. It was six o'clock in the evening and the sound of thunder roared and lightening flickered in the air. Anyone would have been a fool to be out in this kind of weather. Suddenly, she heard a knock on her door, then her doorbell rang. She peeked out of her side window. Like she told herself, anyone would be a fool to be out in a storm.

He stood at the front door soaked from the rain.

"Booth!" She gasped at the sight of him drenched.

He shut the door and stared at her for a moment. "What? I couldn't get hold of you. I tried all day. So, since you weren't answering my phone calls, thought I'd come by. I would have been here sooner, but the rain wouldn't let out." He took off his coat and hung it carefully on the door hook.

"It's not like I was expecting you. You shouldn't have come here. It's dangerous out there."

He could tell by the look on her face he worried her. "I'm here, aren't I? And nothing happened to me." He assured her and shook the excess water that collected on his head due to the downpour onto her carpet.

"What do you want, Seely?"

"Well, if I told you I want you, I think you'd probably hit me right now."

She stared at him, her eyes didn't blink once.

"Look, Bones, about this morning, why'd you leave? You regretted last night? What we did? Everything?" He pulled her close, but, she stepped away from him.

"Don't. Don't touch me, Booth."

"And I know you mean it, this time. Was it because of Angela? The way she came barging in."

Tempe crossed her hand in front of her and said nothing.

"Say something, damn it! Tell me to fuck off or something. Just anything. I don't like your silent treatment."

"Seely, I...," she hesitated.

"What? Bones? Damn it! What? Just say what's on your mind. You had no right leaving the way you did this morning. So, why did you?"

She shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe, it's because I was sort of embarrassed when Angela appeared. And I've never done anything like that before. You have to believe me."

He just smiled at her.

"What are you smiling at?"

"You."

"Well, it's nothing to smile about. I..,." she raised her voice. "You make me do things I've never felt like doing before. I think of things I want to do to you and I've never been like that. Ever."

"What's so wrong with that?"

"Because it scares me. You scare me. You come into my life. I'm not ready to have anyone in my life."

"Why? Excuse me for saying, but, you think I'll disappear suddenly like your parents? Look, I don't know why they say things happen for a reason, but, they just do. And I'm your reason right now. Take a risk, Bones. I'm willing to. And if you give me a chance, I'll never disappoint you."

Tempe turned away, lowered her head, crossed her arms in front of her chest and paced the floor.

"Trying to decide if you actually want me in your life or not, Bones?" He grabbed her and stayed an arms length away from her. "Say something?"

"When it comes to you, I feel like a drug addict, Booth."

"Drug addict? I don't understand." He frowned at her.

"Being with you, I crave for more," she whispered.

Booth pulled Temperance into a long and lingering kiss. His tongue caressed hers gently at first and she felt him as he had begun to harden. Full of want, need and desire, they kissed intensely and passionately. She nipped at his lower lip.

He led her into the bedroom and slid his hands into the waist of her shorts. She pulled it down onto the floor along with her panty, then helped him out of his jeans. He laid her down onto the bed as they ripped their shirts off. He kissed her lips, her neck and made it down to her breasts. Booth explored her body even more as she moaned softly with delight. He kissed her belly. Slowly, her legs had begun to spread apart and his mouth felt the wetness between her legs.

"Moist," he whispered, as he slurped her up and then gently nipped at her clitoris, then licked her repeatedly. He thrusted his tongue into her as she squeezed his head between her legs as he built her up to an orgasm. Booth pulled away and immediately laid atop her and entered her again. He rocked her slowly at first, then rapidly, as their movements became uncontrollable. She dripped like a leaky faucet, which caused him to slip out of her. Quickly, he entered her again, this time, her muscles gripped him tightly.

"Come with me, baby, come with me!" He spoke loudly as they both worked harder until they lost control of their sexual releases. "Now!" He yelled.

"I'm right behind you, I'm right behind you!" Temperance yelled back. She felt the explosion of him hit her walls repeatedly as it filled up her tank, then overflowed out of her.

Finally, Seely rolled off of her. "More, baby? More?" He asked, then kissed her hard as she pulled his hands to her vagina. She snaked her arms around him as he stimulated her as she came one last time. She was in ecstasy as her orgasm lasted much longer and it aroused Booth even more that she brought her mouth down on him for the grand finale.
