"So, it was just a kiss? Anything else happen?" Booth asked as Brennan came downstairs wearing a long silk black nightie.
"Well we spoke, then things got … passionate."
"Passionate? It looked like he took you onto the beach and gave you one. If you know what I mean."
Brennan raised her eyebrows.
"That's a slightly vulgar way to put it Booth. But no, he didn't give me one. It was just a kiss." She picked up an apple from the glass fruit bowl on the table and bit into it.
"So, he say anything useful?"
Brennan shook her head.
"He didn't say anything at all?" Booth asked.
"He said stuff, just not about him murdering people or laundering drugs or whatever. He seems like a really nice guy, I know appearances can be deceiving but I generally think you're mistaken that Benjamin is a bad guy"
Booth now sat with his eyebrows raised and a little smile on his face. He couldn't believe that Temperance had fallen for that thug.
"I will prove to you he isn't innocent, that he is in act deceiving and that he should be locked away forever. Bones, you haven't seen fully what that man is capable of. And when you do, maybe then your head will come out of the clouds."
"Are you jealous Booth?" she asked as he walked away from her.
"Jealous of what?" he demanded. "That you fancy some stark raving mad lunatic?"
Brennan sat back and smiled.
"I shall take that as a yes."
Booth came back and sat next to her.
"I am not jealous. I just want you to be careful and if you let your feelings get in the way of this case you could jeopardize months of surveillance and both our lives."
"Booth, you put me in this situation. I have to at least pretend I like the guy and I cant do that by not letting my head go into the clouds at some times."
Booth let out a sigh.
"I know you can protect yourself Tempe but these people are extremely dangerous. I just want you to be extra cautious."
Brennan put her hand on top of his and smiled.
"I will Booth."
Booth leant back on the sofa and shook his head. He had a bad feeling about this whole case and he didn't like that Brennan was getting too friendly with a killer.
"Oh, we've been invited out tomorrow."
"Bonus. Might actually learn something decent about these low lives then."
"So it's still early, what do you want to do?'
"I would have suggested a walk on the beach but you're not exactly appropriately dressed for that."
"How about we stay inside and just relax?"
"Strip poker?" he joked.
Brennan rolled her eyes.
"I'm not wearing enough clothes for that." She replied with a smile.
Booth looked at her in shock then they both started laughing.
"You so know Sweets would have something to say about that."
Brennan shrugged.
"He isn't exactly here with is, he doesn't have to know everything."
"You're such a bad girl." Booth said with a smile.
Brennan stood up and walked towards the stairs, she turned to Booth with a sly smile on her face.
"You have no idea." She told him with a wink.
Booth watched her go upstairs and then smiled.

The next morning Booth woke up to singing birds and sunshine streaming through his window. He stretched and then yawned and looked at his watch, just after 11am. He was shocked that he had slept so late, even on the weekends he was usually up before 9am.
He threw the thin covers over his half naked body and opened the double doors that led onto his balcony. He looked around at the ocean and the scenery and smiled. He loved his job.
Then he noticed Brennan sitting in the sand and rubbing san tan lotion into her body, Booth let his mind wonder.
He was sat behind Brennan, rubbing the lotion slowly into her shoulders and the back of her neck and smelling her coconut shampoo when he leaned in close enough. Then his hands would fall further down, rubbing the lotion into her back and spine, she would moan in pleasure and he would smile. The smoothness of her skin beneath his hands, then he would kiss the back of her neck, softly then gently biting and she would moan a little louder each time.
A screeching bird suddenly bought Booth back to reality and he realized he was in full view of anyway on the beach with just his underwear on. He quickly stepped back in side and shook his head, he needed a cold shower.

"How long you been up?" Booth asked loudly as he approached Brennan who was now lying in the sun. She took of her shades and looked at him, still slightly damn from the shower and beads of sweat and water trickling down his torso. Brennan quickly looked away before Booth realized that she was checking him out.
"A few hours ago, I came in to wake you up but you looked so peaceful so I left you to it."
"Was I drooling?" he asked.
"No, but I think you where having an erotic dream."
Booth frowned and then went a shade of red.
"How do you know?" he asked.
Brennan opened her mouth to answer but he cut her off.
"Never mind, I get it."
She smiled and put her shades back on; Booth sat next to her and could smell the lingering smell of the lotion.
"Want me to do your back?" he asked.
"No, its fine."
Booth rolled his eyes. His little head fantasy wasn't going to come true anytime soon and he was disappointed.
"Hey!" they heard someone shout happily.
Brennan sat up as Benjamin and his younger brother Marcus approached. Marcus was 3 years younger than his brother yet he looked 10 years older.
"You still on for later?" Benjamin asked. "We're having a barbecue at my house and you're both welcome."
"Sure, sounds like fun." Brennan said with a smile, she elbowed Booth in his side and he smiled.
"Sure, and I promise to behave myself."
"Good, we wouldn't want to have to forcefully remove you." Marcus said and then smiled, showing two missing teeth.
"Would be fun watching you try." Booth said, he wasn't joking but he smiled anyway.
"Simon." Brennan said angrily. "Behave yourself for once."
Booth looked at her and smiled; he leant sideways and kissed her cheek.
"Whatever you say Princess."
"Alright, if you come over for about 6 everything should be ready and set up. It's a pool party too so bring your swim wear."
"Now that's a party. Sexy ladies in sexier swimwear." Booth said grinning.
"But your eyes will only be on me of course." Brennan said.
Booth nodded and then smiled at Benjamin and his brother.
"Is that all?"
Marcus eyed Booth and then nodded.
"Yea. For now." He said. He started to walk off and Benjamin smiled at Brennan and then left too.
"Thank God for that."
"Booth, we're meant to be engaged and then you blurt out that you want to perve over other women in their bikinis. Not very convincing."
"No, but if he thinks our relationship is on rocky ground it only helps really to prove that it is."
Brennan contemplated this for a few seconds and then nodded.
"Ok, means I can check out some hot guys."
"I'm the only hot guy you're going to be checking out. Believe me."
Brennan shook her head and Booth grinned at her.
