Chapter 22


Night faded into a bright morning sun and the two slept till Brennan's alarm went off at 7AM.

Booth looked up at the clock and then at Brennan who was reaching to turn it off. "It is 7AM, why do you have that set on a Saturday?"

"Well I was planning on going to work this morning but Maggie and Roger are coming over for breakfast so I think I will wait to go in till this afternoon." She turned back into him, returning to her position of cuddling up against his chest.

"Good idea." He said kissing her forehead.

Brennan let out an audible sigh "It is sooo hot in here." She kicked the blanket off of her feet.

"It's DC in the summer, what do you expect?"

"Yeah but I want to lay here with you but I get sweaty." She rolled back away from him.

"I have an idea." He mused.

"Oh yeah? What's your idea?"

"Which one is your underwear drawer?" His naked body jumped out the bed and Brennan looked him up and down, stopping once it dawned on her what he had asked.

"My what? Booth, what do you want my underwear for?"

"You'll see, do you trust me?"

She answered without hesitation "Of course."

"Then which one?" He said with his charm smile.

"The top middle."

Booth went over and peaked in. After rummaging though the various layers of sensible cotton he found the good stuff towards the bottom.

"Black lace huh?"

"Who doesn't have black lace?" She asked incredulously.

"I know."

"What do you want my black lace undies for. Please say you aren't one of those guys that get a kick out of wearing his girlfriend's thong."

"Of course not Bones. I was just being nosy. Now which pair are you going to wear today?"

She looked at him but decided not to ask questions and emerged from her bed to get a pair of underwear from her drawer.

"Sensible cotton briefs." He stated looking at her. "Can you at least wear a color other than white?"

She rolled her eyes and handed him a baby blue pair. "Is that better?"

"Much."

He took the panties and left the room.

She shrugged to herself and then lay back down in bed.

Booth hurried back into the room and smiled at the sight of her lying in bed naked. Even at 7AM she was the most beautiful women he had ever seen.

He smiled at her and lay back down beside her. "What on Earth did you just do with my underwear Booth?"

"You can find out in a little while. Now, what time are Maggie and Roger coming over?"

"Not sure, probably around 9AM."

"Good, that gives us just enough time to shower."

"Why would it take us two hours to shower Booth?" She asked as it dawned on her what he was saying.

"Oh, nevermind." She smiled as she sat up in bed. She leaned over to kiss him and then yelled "Race ya" as she jumped up and ran towards the bathroom.

Booth laughed and then got up to follow her. He found her bending over to turn the tub on and he groaned.

She turned around to look at him. "What?"

Being in a relationship with you is going to be so hard.

She wrinkled up her nose "Why do you say that?"

"Because we are going to have to get up hours before we need to be anywhere and once we leave all I am going to think about is coming back here." He slid his arms around her bare waste.

She pushed up on her tiptoes and kissed his cheeks. "So what would be different than normal? You are usually here till all hours of the night and I have seen you dashing me out."

"Dashing? It's checking Bones, I have been checking you out and you noticed?"

"Of course I noticed."

"Hey I am not the only one. I see your eyes light up when I come into a room."

"Is that a problem?" She asked, not sure as to what his answer would be.

"Of course not." He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He then stepped back into the shower for them to finish getting ready.

He forced her against the side of the shower as the nearly cold water ran over their bodies, attempting to cool themselves off. This proved futile as they realized that it took as little as a glace to completely over heat their bodies.

He found her easy to hold up with support from the wall at her back. This allowed him leverage he hadn't previously been able to achieve and she benefited even more from this position.

After collapsing into each other, using only the tile for support, they decided it was time for a shower. They helped to soap each other up and washed places the other couldn't quite reach in their exploration of the other's body.

Finally after nearly an hour they emerged from the water and dried off. Booth redressed quickly after finding his clothes that had been spread over the room and watched as Brennan dried her hair.

"Come with me." He grabbed her hand and walked her, still naked to the kitchen. "You still hot?"

"Burning up." She smiled as she realized she had appropriately used a slag term because she wasn't technically burning but understood what it meant.

He reached into her freezer and pulled out her underwear. "Put these on."

She obeyed and was immediately cooled off as the chilled material touch her most private areas. "That feels great!"

"I know." He said as he smiled at her, looking pleased with himself. "I am going to run grab my bag out of my truck and put clean clothes on."

"You keep a clothes bag in your car?"

"You never now when you aren't going to make it home for the night when you are an FBI agent."

"Ahh, true."

Booth leaned over and kissed her. "I will be right back."

She nodded and watched him walk out the door as she turned to continue getting dressed.

After she had chosen some denim shorts and a navy blue tank top she returned to the living room in time to hear a faint knock at the door.
