The Ride Home

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

Booth opens the door from Brennan to get into the SUV. "How many times have I told you that I can get my own door Booth."

"I know you are perfectly capable of opening you own door Bones, but I am your husband now and would appreciate it if you would let me open the door for you, not because you can't do it yourself or because of my alpha-male tendencies but because I want to."

Bones groans. "I guess."

Booth goes around to his side and gets in "Okay, so let's stop by my place. We can unload my stuff and grab a few things for tomorrow and then we can head over to your place."

"Sounds like a plan."

"You know Bones, for them being scientists and having to see the details in everything they all overlooked an important detail tonight, even Angela missed it."

"What's that?"

"Our wedding rings. Although I think Hodgins knows something."

"I didn't think about it, I guess because I don't want to take it off. Why would you think Hodgin's knows something?"

"He implied that something else happened in Vegas."

"And what did you say?"

"I told him to stop what he was thinking right there. He is scared of me so he shut up." Booth laughed.

"They will all find out eventually anyway but I am glad we decided to keep it a secret. I am also glad Angela just believed that was all I was hiding. If you hadn't come in who knows what she would know by now."

"Yeah well, even if she finds out she will respect us and keep it quiet I hope."

"I'm sure she will."

They reached his apartment and got out. Once they got to his door Booth unlocked it and then turned to Brennan. He quickly picked her up into his arms before she could realize what happened. He knew he was risking his life attempting something like that but he wanted to carry her over the threshold. He sat her down on the other side of the door and began to kiss her before she could reply to what he had done.

He pulled from this kiss and ran to his bedroom to get a few things. I thought for sure she would kill me for that.

"Don't think you are getting off that easily Booth." She yelled from the other room.

He grimaced and quickly grabbed a suit for tomorrow as well as other essentials he would need.

He returned to the living room with a charm smile prominently displayed on his face. "I was just carrying my wife over the threshold, it is tradition. Come on Bones, you can't be mad about that."

"Don't give me that charm smile." She turned around with a smile of her own on her face.

"Oh come on, you know you can't resist this face."

"Okay, fine, I will give you this one for now. But don't think I have forgotten, you never know when I will decide to get my revenge."

"Uh huh." He pulled her over to him and placed a simple kiss on her lips. She deepened the kiss and before he knew it he was on his couch with her straddling him.

He let out a deep moan. She could tell he was already enjoying himself. She gently rocked herself back and forth until he was panting. He was just pushing her over onto the couch to continue what they were doing when she stood up.

"Time to go home."

Booth looked at her with lush in his eyes. "Bones, you can't leave like that."

She laughed and said, "That's what you get."

Before he knew what had happened she had grabbed the keys off the coffee table and ran out the door to the SUV.

He shook his head and realized where she had gone. Okay Bones, two can play at that game

He took his duffle bag and ran out the door after her. He met up to her just as she was about to get into the SUV. He got right behind her and blocked her from opening the door.

"Come on Bones, you can't leave like that. I know you don't want to go yet." He turned her around and started to nibble on her neck. He forced her up against the side of his SUV, forgetting they were in public. She moaned when he found that place on her neck again. His hands traveled up her body and found themselves on her back. Gently rubbing her soft, tender skin. Just when she was getting into it he pulled even closer and found her hand. He grabbed the keys and pulled away from her.

"Two can play at this game Bones." He quickly got into the SUV and smiled at her.

She was frustrated but walked around to her side of the car.

"You always drive Booth."

"Yes, I always drive, you always ride with me. That is how it is and how it will always be."

Bones pouted as they drove off to her apartment.

"Awww Bones don't pout."

"That's fine Booth, you can drive, you can also sleep on the couch tonight!"

"Come on Bones, don't be like that."

"Then let me drive or you will be on the couch. I guarantee it. You know once I make my mind up you can't change it!"

"Fine, I surrender. You can drive this one time! And only this time! Deal?"

"I suppose."

That being said, Booth pulled over the side of the road and they switched places.

Brennan started driving to her apartment.

"Haha, see, I might not be able to resist your charm smile but you can't resist me pouting!"

"It wasn't your pouting Bones, it was the threat! I don't wait to spend our first night back in DC on the couch!"

"She looked over at him. Booth, you know me better than that! No way you would have been on the couch alone!" She gave him a seductive smile and they drove off to her apartment to spend their first night in DC has husband and wife.
