Part 4: One too many?

Bones POV:

Her eyes fluttered on the verge of waking. She yawned away the sleep and lifted her hands to rub her eyes. Slowly her mind caught up and she took in her surroundings. First she remembered where she was: Jamaica. Then, she noticed why she couldn't move: Booth's arm had slipped around her waist while they were sleeping and pinned her both to the mattress and himself.

She waited for the feeling of panic to overtake her as had happened previously when she first started sharing a bed with a man, but none came. She seemed to revel in the feeling of him pressed up behind her, spooning. She could feel his morning arousal nestled into her backside and closed her eyes trying to preserve the feeling of all of him against her. If it hadn't been for her bladder, she would have stayed in that position longer, but nature called and this happened to be one that she couldn't put off. Slowly she tried lifting his arm in order to slip from under it, however, he only seemed to pull her tighter against him. She sighed and tried again. This time he let go and rolled onto his back allowing her to leave.

After visiting the porcelain pot, she returned to the room and just stood there admiring him. His features, which usually showed his active personality, were now at rest, giving him a permanent boyish feature that she was encountering more often. She admired each of his facial features in turn, in her mind going over the name of each bone, and thinking about how perfectly he was put together. If the god he believed in truly existed he'd done an exquisite job on Special Agent Seeley Booth.

"You planning on standing there and just looking at me?" She heard his scratchy morning voice. 'Very sexy,' Angela's voice told her. "Because, you could get back into bed and we could move past the stage of catching glances and go on to things a little more satisfying." His eyes opened and she once again noticed the playful 'joie de vivre' that showed through his eyes.

"I was thinking that we could go for breakfast." She said copping out.

"You sure, Temperance?" He said getting up and leaning back against the headboard.

"Um, yeah." She said, all the while the voice of Angela in her head told her, 'Are you crazy, jump back in!'

'No!' She yelled back at the voice, 'He's just gotten out of a relationship, we'll take it slowly.'

'Come on, you want it, he wants it, go for it.' The voice edged on.

'I can't.'

'You're balking.'

'No I'm not!'

'You so are! Sweetie, listen to me, you're holding him back, just like miss sexy lawyer did. He's there for the taking, so take!'

'No!' She said and then turned Angela's voice off.

"How about we go for a swim and then have breakfast? We'll take it easy today, just see what there is to do here and at the beach." Booth said getting out of bed to stand in front of her. He hadn't been wearing a shirt last night, only his boxers. She knew that, but right then, seeing him stand in front of her first thing in the morning was making her slightly light headed. All of a sudden his arm slipped around her and pulled her to him catching her lips under his. Her knees went weak and she clung to him to keep herself from sinking to the ground.

He lifted his lips all too soon, and she had to rest her forehead on his chest for a moment.

"Still want to go to the beach?" He asked.

"Yeah." Her voice shook.

"Okay." He smiled and after kissing her forehead, gave her a sly look on his way to the bathroom.

Temperance sank down onto the bed. Her heart throbbed loud enough to hear in her head and her hands shook. 'Get a grip,' she told her hands, but they wouldn't seem to listen. For one of the few times in her life she seemed not to be able to command her body to do something, which scared her. If her brain didn't have control over her actions all kinds of things could happen while she was here. As if a firecracker went off in her head, Temperance then realised what the trip could turn into.

'You knew,' Angela said, 'secretly you wanted it.'

'Maybe,' she agreed.

'There's no maybe about it. You wanted it.'

'Okay, I did.'

Just then the door opened and Booth came out with nothing but a towel on.

"Hey Bones, I hope you like wet bathing suits, cause ours haven't dried yet."

Knowing that a blush was forming she looked towards the cupboard and got up towards it. "I brought an extra."

"An extra, as sexy as the one you had on yesterday, cause I gotta tell ya bones, brown's a good colour on you."

"Don't call me Bones, Booth."

"Fine, then don't call me Booth, Bones."

She turned and looked at him with a thoughtful expression. "You mean it?"

"Yeah, why not? I call you Tempe and you call me Seeley? It'll be another unusual thing of our vacation."

She thought for a moment and then agreed. "All right." Then taking two paces towards him said, "Seeley…"

"Yeah?" He seemed to be eyeing her for something devious.

She moved to stand in front of him and smiled. "Could you do something for me?"

His answer was immediate. "What?" Hands moving up her back.

Temperance wanted to smile but instead leaned up and whispered in his ear, "move." Then she quickly pushed him back and ran into the bathroom laughing.

She could hear Booth's reaction through the door. "You're evil Temperance. Evil."

Booth POV:

Seeley stood looking back at the bathroom door and noted how his partner anthropologist was driving him crazy. 'Who would have guessed?' He thought. 'That she'd have such an evil streak in her?' He smiled and went to the cupboard to get another pair of swim trunks. Switching on the television he found CNN and watched for a moment while waiting for his roommate to come out of the bathroom.

Just as he was about to call her, the door opened and he saw her in a bikini. This time it was light blue, the same colour, as her eyes and it made them seem even more striking. With no thought to his actions and no self-control, he leapt at her and engulfed her in his arms. His lips landed on hers as he tried to take possession of her.

He felt her stiffen at first, but after a moment began to respond to his ministrations. Within moments they were both groping at each other and passionately kissing. Seeley moved them towards the bed and then feeling it against the back of his legs fell back, taking Tempe with him. They parted when they landed on the bed.

"Temperance?" He said softly looking in her eyes for some sort of sign.

"Seeley." She said, and then grabbed his head and brought it back down to hers. They were in a rush to remove all scraps of clothing, and when they were finally pressed together without any impediments it was as if a level of satisfaction had been reached and they slowed down a little. Hands roamed and lips and tongues explored until they could take it no more. Then in one swoop he entered her.

He looked down at Temperance, his eyes questioning if she was all right. She smiled up at him, and giving the get-go got him to move. The feeling was euphoric. His brain was on the verge of short-circuiting, and when it finally did he felt like he had died and gone to heaven.

Looking down at her he noticed she was breathing just as hard as he was. "Please tell me that I waited?" He asked.

"You were right on time." Tempe smiled back. "You're gonna have to move, Seeley. I need to breath."

Groaning he lay down next to her. They lay there for a moment and then Seeley gathered her into his arms and held her to him. "No regrets?"

"None."

"Good." He saw her yawn and smiled. "Go to sleep. We'll go to the beach later."

"Kay." She answered and fell into slumber. Seeley wasn't trailing far behind her.

They woke up hours later. Tempe was the first to wake and when Seeley finally opened his eyes he encountered hers looking straight at him with a smile glowing from her lips. "Sleep well?" She asked.

"Couldn't ask for better. What time is it?"

"It's about two. Wanna head to the beach now?"

"Sure. Let me just find my trunks." He kissed her lips and sat up. He got out of bed full of energy and picked up his trunks handing her her bikini. "You okay?"

"Yeah, just sore. Muscles I haven't used in a long time." He watched her put on her bikini, his arousal growing again.

"Come on, Seeley." She said once she had gotten off the bed. Let's go." She grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the room and onto the porch that led to the water.

Fifteen minutes later they had lathered each other in sun lotion and had gotten into the water for a swim. Then, while Tempe got out the book she'd brought to read, Booth lay on his stomach and fell asleep.

Half an hour later, Temperance woke him up in order to get him to roll over. "You'll get sun burned otherwise."

With a yawn, Seeley sat up and looked over at her. She had a pen and paper in her hand and was busily scribbling things down. "What you working on?"

"My book. I have a due date next month and I still have three chapters left to write." She smiled at him and then looked down at her notes.

"Can I read it?"

"No."

"What? Why not?"

"Cause it's not finished yet. When it's completely done I'll give you a copy." She said.

"Is that before or after it's published?"

"After."

"What if I just steal a copy?" He said with a sly smile.

She smiled back. "I'd have to kill you."

He laughed and lunged at her causing her to giggle. Eventually they were both panting. "Let's go back to the room." Seeley suggested. "I'll take you out for dinner tonight somewhere special."

"Okay." He loved to see her smile and decided then and there that this trip would be to see how often he could get her to smile. Afterall, it sometimes seemed as if she never did, but then again it wasn't as if her job had many things to smile about.

Hi everyone! Sorry it took me so long, but first I went on vacation to Rome, and then I had two exams, and then I couldn't upload! I hope you enjoy this chapter, please let me know what you think!
