Part 5: Discovery
Bones' POV:
She sat across from him at the table and watched him eat his dinner. She'd never been someone to do something like that, but just the way he seemed to enjoy his food made her watch him. It was as if he inhaled it, but really enjoyed what he was eating while he did so. His eyes shone and he seemed almost ten years younger.
Relaxation looked good on him, she decided.
He'd become even more playful, tickling her, chasing her, and making lewd comments. The night before, when he had taken her out to dinner, he'd played footsie with her under the table, which kept her cheeks, a rosy tint through all three courses. Afterwards they had walked along the beach back to their room and he'd made love to her over and over again, until Temperance thought she'd died and gone to heaven several times over.
This morning he'd woken her up with breakfast, having gone out and gotten croissants, bagels, and coffee. The meal though, was temporarily forgotten as they once again had to satisfy their carnal desires. It wasn't until mid morning that they got out of bed and headed to the car on their first sightseeing day.
She put another fork of fish in her mouth and thought about everything they had visited that day. They'd gone to Kingston and seen the Natural History Museum, the Bob Marley Museum, and watched a play in a local theatre. She'd enjoyed it thoroughly. In the Natural History Museum, she'd added extra commentary to the exhibition for Booth, who seemed interested in what she had to say. He held her close and kept asking insightful questions about certain things. At the Bob Marley Museum though, the roles had been reversed, as Booth had been the one to tell her everything he knew about Rastafarians and the culture that inspired the musician. Eventually after a late lunch they stumbled on a theatre, which was playing a local play and decided to sit in on it. Neither understood much of it, but enjoyed it none the less. Especially, with Booth whispering in her ear every few minutes making up his own dialogue. Keeping herself from laughing therefore proved to be extremely difficult.
"What you thinking about, Tempe?" Booth's voice pulled her out of her thoughts.
"Oh, just about our day. I had a really good time." She smiled and then looking down at her food took another bite.
"Yeah, me too. This island is definitely turning out to be much more interesting than I anticipated." She watched him pause for a moment and with a smile added, "But, that could be because of the company I have along with me." She let him pick up her hand and then kiss it. "So, what do you want to do tomorrow?"
"I read about the Bloomfield Great House in the tourist guide in our room yesterday. Apparently is a 200-year-old Georgian-style coffee plantation main house built many years before the town of Mandeville was formed."
"What's it now?"
"Well, primarily a restaurant, but they sometimes has concerts and an art exhibition. Plus, it's supposed to have great food. I thought we could go there for lunch, and that we could look around the Mandeville area."
"Sounds good. We'll have a look tomorrow before we set out on what things there are to do in the area, okay?"
"Okay." They let the waiter remove their plates and asked for the dessert card. Then alone again Temperance asked. "So, Seeley, tell me about your son."
"Ah, Parker." He said with a far off smile. "He's just your average kid, hyperactive, friendly and loves to learn everything. He's really smart for his age. You know, Tempe, at the moment he seems to have this fascination with dinosaurs. I thought I'd take him to the Jeffersonian sometime and show him the dinosaurs they have there. Considering that you're the bone-lady, I thought you might want to come with us."
"I'd love to!" She lit up.
"He needs to meet you anyway." Booth added.
"Do you introduce him to all of your girlfriends?"
"Um, no. Actually, I've never introduced him to any of them. I don't really want to get his hopes up, and I'm usually not to sure about those relationships. To put Parker through that over and over again- I just can't."
"I understand. But why me?" She asked.
"Because you're you, Tempe. And I trust you, that if for some reason I can't fathom our relationship doesn't work out, you wont hurt my son."
They were both quiet for a moment, letting the discussion sink in. 'Say something Brennan!' Angela was yelling at her. 'What?' She asked back. 'Anything, just don't let the silence go on like this.'
"Thank you, Seeley. That means a lot to me." She smiled.
He waved it on as if it were nothing and then said, "So, how do you think the squint squad is doing without you?"
She laughed. "Hodgins is probably going out of his mind. I left him in charge of the group, but I have the impression that Doctor Goodman will pull his superior card."
"It's 'play his superior card', Bones."
"Right. Plus, the fact that you're on vacation means that there are no cases, therefore they'll be bored out of their minds."
"Poor squint squad."
"Don't call them that." She said in her best authoritative voice.
"But that's what they are. You gotta admit, Tempe, they're pretty squintish. Especially Zack."
"Zack is brilliant! And plus, remember I'm part of the 'squint squad' as you put it."
She noted how his smile became softer. "Yeah, but you're my squint. That's the difference."
"Whatever."
Temperance allowed him to lift up her hand again and kiss it. Miraculously her irritation began to disappear. She sighed and looked up at him in expectation.
She saw him sign the bill and then get up, helping her out of her chair said, "I read that this place has a lounge with live music. Wanna go?"
"Sure." She smiled. Then grabbing his hand allowed him to lead her off.
Booth POV:
Seeley noticed the couples dancing, when he opened the doors from the lounge. They were playing a slow song, and the place was packed. As soon as they entered the song ended and another began to play. "Dance with me?" He whispered into her ear seductively.
She nodded he led the way to the floor. Slipping his arm around her waist he brought their hands to rest on his chest. She seemed to almost sink into him, and Seeley couldn't help but silently revel in the feeling. Then, when she laid her head on his shoulder, he bent his to touch hers. Swaying to the music, all was lost except for the feeling of the amazing woman he held in his arms.
Oh you know what I'd like to do right now,
I'd like to lay right down girl,
And put my arms around you.
Wonder where will I be let's say six years from now,
I wish that I could still be with you.
Now if I had it in my hand, control your every move,
Now here is exactly what I'd do.
I'd put you in the middle of my rose garden,
And I'd never ever have to say pardon,
To the daises the tulips the buttercups not even the roses.
And I'd water you first every morning,
The other flowers would have to start calling,
give me some water please, we too need to grow.
Wonder where will I be let's say,
Ten years down the road.
I search my heart and constantly you're there.
Can't get you out of my system and I like this living,
It's so wonderful that you and I can share.
I'd put you in the middle of my rose garden,
And I'd never ever have to say pardon,
To the daises the tulips the buttercups not even the roses.
And I'd water you first every morning,
The other flowers would have to start calling,
give me some water please, we too need to grow.
Time will change us never,
Nature's gonna keep us together.
Time will change us never
Nature's gonna keep us forever.
I know our love will last,
So I shouldn't even ask,
Where will I be, will you be there with me.
Can't get you out of my system and I like this living,
I've searched my heart, it always sets me free.
Time will change us never,
Nature's gonna keep us together.
Time will change us never
Nature's gonna keep us forever.
And in the middle of my rose garden,
I'd never ever have to say pardon,
To the daises the tulips the buttercups not even the roses.
And I'd water you first every morning,
The other flowers will have to be calling,
same water please, we too need to grow.
Sometime during the music he had noticed the musky smell she seemed to have. She smelled of desire, passion, and boldness. It enthralled him and the light-headedness he was feeling began to effect different parts of his body, that the arm he had wrapped around her pulled her in even more closely, so that their bodies touched completely.
Her head immediately came up to meet his, and he knew that she had felt his erection. It wasn't as if he were trying to hide it. On the contrary, he had one thing on his mind and that was rapidly taking over anything else remotely sane.
The minute he saw her eyelids hood her eyes he groaned. Her breathing had become shallow and he could feel her moving against him. The dance had become more sensual, as every part of his body seemed to be on fire. He could feel everything. It was as if he were oversensitive to her touch. His hairs were on end, his mind shut down, and all he could do was let her movements take over and his body react to hers.
"Seeley," her voice was like a drug, and as soon as he had said her name he wanted her to say it again. 'Speak!' He tried to will her.
"Seeley… we need to leave."
The sounds excited him, the meaning of them, though, hadn't been comprehended yet. "Huh?"
"We need to go, Seeley. This could turn indecent. They'll kick us out."
He grunted in approval, but didn't move. Then when she tried to pry herself away he decided he really didn't like her being away from him physically and pulled her even tighter towards him. Finally she seemed to wiggle away, much to his disappointment and the two of them moved towards the door. They quickly walked to their room. In the elevator he stood behind her and pulled her back to him. He began kissing the side of her neck, paying special attention to the spot behind her ear which caused her to wiggle against him in a pleasurable way.
Getting into the room proved to be a problem for them as Temperance couldn't seem to find the keyhole while trying to kiss him at the same time. Eventually they had to part in order to get the door opened and then they moved to start undressing each other. They were frantic. Energized. Clothing went flying until with only undergarments they fell onto the bed. Foreplay was forgotten as they tried to find a fast way towards relief. With one swoop he was in her, and for a moment he felt contentment wash over him: it was as if he had finally found his way home. That feeling was shortlived, however, as he stroked himself inside her. The tension began to build again and the need for release became impossible to bare.
"Tempe." He said, her name falling like a prayer from his mouth.
The noises she began to make excited him even more, to the point that he was about to come undone. He looked into her eyes and saw her on the verge as well. He lifted a finger to the most sensitive part of all her body and quickly helped her along. Moments later he was pouring into her.
He lay his head on her breast and attempted to catch his breath. "Oh God." He moaned. "You're gonna kill me Tempe."
"Not if you kill me first. That's one with one hell of a gun."
Not used to her puns he began laughing so hard. As he slipped to sleep he was still chuckling.
