Temperance sat comfortably in her office chair. She turned down an invitation from Angela and the rest to join them for Chinese. Due to her lack of sleep, she needed to close her eyes for just a few minutes.
"Booth?" With her eyes closed, she said his name drowsily.
He leaned towards her ear and murmured. "What, Bones?"
"Seeley. Mmm, Booth. Make love to me." It wasn't a question, it was a command.
He nervously looked around her office. "Uh, here?"
She giggled softly. "Everyone's out to lunch."
She felt their bodies pressed together as he pulled her down onto the floor. Temperance felt the warmth of his body as he cuddled up to her.
She mumbled his name repeatedly and moaned. "Seeley. Oh, Seeley. Take me."
His lips pressed hard on hers. Their hearts pounded loudly. The doctor felt his hands roamed slowly throughout her body. He unbuttoned and unzipped her clothing, then flung it across the room. She licked her lips and had a sudden urge to taste him all over. Hastily, she ripped his clothes off and lost control.
Booth had never seen this side of her. She yanked his tie, and he nearly choked. Impatiently, she pulled down his pants zipper. "Ouch!" He yelled. "Hey, Bones, take it easy. I'm not going anywhere, there's no need to rush."
She panted. "Hurry, they'll be back soon! We only have an hour!"
"Hello! Anyone here?" Temperance heard a familiar voice. There was a knock on her office door. As she opened her eyes widely, Booth walked in.
"Bones? You look sort of flushed. Uh, did I interrupt you from something?" Booth stood in front of her desk and waited for an answer, but, no words came out of her mouth.
She took in a deep breath and realized he now occupied her thoughts even during the days. Silently, she cursed to herself. All she had wanted to do at that moment was to hit him for having woken her. Why hadn't he waited to come barging in until she completed her dream.
Temperance rose from her chair and straightened her clothes. "I-I guess I dozed off for a bit. Haven't been sleeping well lately," she told him honestly, then lied. "You know, that last investigation of that woman's chopped up body stuffed in that box hidden in her boyfriend's closet just got to me."
"Uh, yea, me, too. I haven't had much sleep for the last week or so. Some case, huh?" He surprised himself, for he lied with a straight face.
They faced each other. She heard her heart beat loudly. He felt his was about to burst.
"Is there something you needed, Booth?"
He shook his head. "Just thought I'd drop by." He glanced at his wrist watch. "Look, I'd better go. I'm taking the rest of the day off. Promised Parker I'd spend some time with him." Again, he lied.
He closed the door and rapidly walked out of the building. What she does to him was something out of his control. He's had past relationships. He'd always been the initiator. But, then of course none were like Temperance Brennan. All he wanted to do was to hold on to her forever. But, for now, it was only in his dreams.
