Disclaimer: Don't own…what a pity.

Temperance let the steaming hot shower envelop her mind; even as the scalding hot water turned her skin bright red she welcomed the feeling of something other than fear and confusion.

Shutting off the shower she exited into a room filled with steam while cleaning the mirror to take a good look at her facial features.

Her thoughts were brought back to her use to be new protégé spread out on the examination table.

Clark was so smart and eager to learn, he was also the epitome of professionalism. She laughed remembering the first time he left the Jeffersonian because he couldn't handle all the soap opera drama that was going on within the walls of their scientific sanctum. She sighed heavily re-wiping the mirror staring into it as if it would come alive and give her answers.

She wished she had answers, Where was Zack or her father for that matter? Were they safe? Or had they met their demise as well? Who was behind all of this and why?

It frustrated her to no end, and now that they were off the case and weren't aloud anywhere near the crime scenes there was no possible way to find out any information except what Cullen was willing to share or when the killer decided to throw them a bone.

She spent so much time in there contemplating things she didn't understand that it just made her more and more furious. She needed an escape…some time to clear her head and think about something else…but what?

Releasing another sigh she opened the door and took a step into the hotel room forgetting she was in just a towel. Her eyes immediately feel on Booth who was sitting on the bed with his face in his hands. He lifted his head when he heard the bathroom door open and once he laid eyes on her she knew exactly what she needed to take her mind off things.

Booth took in the sight of his partner standing just a few feet away from him, clad only in a towel with beads of water slowly dripping down her pink skin. Fire rose within him as he mustered all the strength he could trying not to jump across the room and fuck all the pain, fear and anger out of them.

All sound fell on deaf ears, the passing cars on the street, the other occupants of the hotel, none could be heard as they stared intently at each other. Brennan watched Booth's hands clinch and unclench the comforter on the bed, she could see him holding himself back from what they both wanted and she would have none of it.

Taking in a deep breath, she locked gazes with him once more before slowly removing the towel letting it fall to her feet. Her confidence wavered as she kept staring into Booth's eyes, it wasn't till he stood and slowly made his way towards her when she knew he wanted it to.

Booth was in awe. Sure they had taken some big steps in their relationship the past few days, but this…this was…WOW! He let his eyes leave hers to fully take in the sight of her before him. The smile that graced his face let her know that he was very appreciative of her feminine curves and beautiful fascia. He raised his hand to touch her check and she melted into his touch. She kissed the inside of his palm all the way to the tips of his fingers allowing him to let them slide down her body. His feather light touches around her neck and collarbone made her shiver slightly and shudder a breath. She closed her eyes as his hand explored further, mapping it's way across her naked flesh to stimulate both their pleasure.

He tickled the spot just above her breast and thought long and hard before continuing his downward trek. He looked at her; her eyes closed enjoying his touch, her naked body on full display for him to see without his asking or even having to remove any clothing. This was the release he was looking for and he knew for her to put herself out there like this, she was looking for one too.

There was no decision to be made, no permission to be asked. Booth swiftly took her in his arms and pressed her against the wall devouring her lips. A subtle gasp escaped her lips when she felt the hard surface behind her then moaned as his tongue seeked entrance to her mouth. They dueled for the longest time both relinquishing and dominating control once it was given. Her hands started to make quick work at undressing him as he pressed her harder against the wall. While her hands were busy undressing, his were busy foundling, and grouping, and kneading, everything he could do to be sucked up in the moment.

"Make me forget." She gasped as she pulled her lips away from his. "I just want to think about and feel us…together. Make me forget everything else." She breathed.

Booth groaned when she pressed her naked body against his now naked body. Skin to skin, they were of one mind seeking gratification in intimate pleasure and for once there was nothing to interrupt them from giving into their needs.

Using the wall to her advantage Brennan used it as leverage to climb onto Booth. She smiled against his lips as he groaned his approval, her arms wrapping possessively around his neck as his lingered along her side. Long moments of intense kissing and heavy petting were not enough to control their desires.

"Bed."

"No. I want you right here, right now." He huffed. Lifting her higher on his body so he could position himself. Once there he let her slowly drift back down till his crown was at her entrance, he groaned into her shoulder when he felt how wet she was. Brennan pulled his head back and pressed her lips to his as he slowly pushed himself inside her. Her moans were muffled by his lips and her hands took purchase in the skin of his neck and shoulders.

They moved together hard and deep, not what they had imagined for their first time but it's exactly what they wanted. He took her left leg and wrapped it around his arm changing entry and thrust angles while she tightened her other leg around his waist. The new sensation drove her crazy, he hit all the right places and she let him know it as she exclaimed herself loudly in his ear.

He didn't care; he could go deaf for all he cared. He was fucking Temperance Brennan, his partner against a wall in a hotel room and she was just as eager to do the same. He groaned and grunted in her ear as his cock pressed against her tight walls, kneading her inner muscles and massaging her g-spot. When she clinched him inside her he gasped loudly and began to thrust harder and faster.

"YES!...Don't stop…Oh God…BOOTH!!" she scream then fell limp against his body as he released inside her. Once his spasms subsided he hugged her body to his and walked over to the bed laying them down to rest after such an intense…exercise!

Once her breathing returned to normal and the room stopped spinning she looked over at her gorgeous partner, covered in sweat and still slightly panting for air. The smile that appeared on her face was definitely one of a satisfied woman as she placed small kisses along his shoulder, up to his neck before sighing and resting her head in the little nook God must have created just for her.

"You were right." She said, hiding her blushing face from his eyes.

"About what?" he whispered, pulling her closer and running his hand up and down her arm.

"You made good on your promise…I can't feel my legs so walking would be a bad idea at the moment." She laughed, snuggling more against his body.

He closed his eyes and reviled in the sensation of her body next to his, the smile on his face couldn't get any wider when he thought of him actually making her immobile.

"So I guess that means I could do whatever I wanted to do to you right now and you couldn't do a damn thing to stop me!" he teased.

"Do you really think I would try to stop you if whatever your planning involves you touching my body?" she whispered seductively in his ear.

His sharp intake of breath did not go unnoticed as her hand started to run south of his belly button.

"Bones," he whimpered as she took him in her hand.

She smiled continuing to stroke him while he hardened in her hand.

"I may not be able to move my legs, but I am very capable of stopping your thought process." She whispered.

She was right, and doing a damn fine job of it. The long forgotten sound of her cell phone ringing stopped her motions and caused a few curse words to escape Booth's mouth. Temperance just smiled and kissed his cheek before stretching her arms to reach for her purse. Once that feat was accomplished she flipped her phone open and all normal happy feelings were gone.

"Hello Dr. Brennan, I'm not interrupting anything am I?"

"As a matter of fact you are! Tell me what the fuck you want? Why are you doing this? Why did you have to kill Clark and attack my friends?" she spit out questions one after the other.

"Ohhhh Dr. Brennan. It's all part of the plan. See you take things and people in your life for granted. You never let new people into your life no matter how hard they try to be your friend, so in all actuality these deaths really shouldn't bother you."

"You Bastard! How dare you judge me, you don't even know me. Mark my words one way or another we will figure out who you are and when we do…"

"Will that be before or after your done taking advantage of Agent Booth?"

Temperance grew quiet. How did they…

Her thoughts were cut off when a piece of paper was slipped under their door. Booth was up with a start pulling on a pair off jeans and drawing his gun before opening the door. He cautiously peered out into the hallway to find it empty, the door leading to the emergency exit was kicked open and the security cameras in the hallway were broken.

Booth cursed again before walking back into the room. He saw Bones looking at the piece of paper of paper with sheer horror edged on her face.

"What is it? What's wrong?" he asked.

She couldn't speak no matter how hard she tried. Booth saw her struggle so he just took the paper from her and suddenly felt his heart stop beating. The paper was actually a of picture of him and Bones at the lab just after Angela's attack. Their faces were circled and colored in like they weren't even there and there was writing on the back with another horrible hallmark rhyme.

'Roses are red, violets are blue. They'll need dental records to identify you!'

Booth crumpled the picture in his hand and pulled out his cell phone to call Cullen. He looked up when he heard the door close and watched Bones lock the deadbolt as well as the chain lock. She sat quietly in the nearby chair and waited for Booth to give all the information to Cullen before speaking.

"I think it would be best if I went away for a while…alone." She whispered.

"What…No that's not going to happen Bones. I'm not going to just let you go."

"Booth I don't see any other option. The killer is obviously hurting the people I'm closest to and he can't do anything if I'm not close to any body."

"Do you even hear yourself Temperance? Your not making any sense, and since when do you run away from anything?" he retorted.

"I'm not running away, I'm trying to save you and everyone else. This is my fault, my best friend was attack, Caroline was beheaded, and my assistant was dissected on my own God Damn examination table. God Booth he was only twenty four years old he didn't deserve any of this." She cried.

Booth walked over and knelt down to her level. "Now you listen to me Bones. None of this is your fault, whoever is doing this will get caught and they will pay…with their life if I have anything to do with it. And this is the last time we are having this discussion, you are not leaving and you sure as hell aren't going to make me go anywhere unless your right there with me…you got that? Do you understand me Temperance?" he demanded an answer.

Tears fell from her eyes as she looked at her shaking hands. She didn't know what to do, if she tried to leave Booth would find her, if she stayed more people that she loved would die. Talk about your catch twenty-two.

" What if he does something to my dad or Russ or God forbid Parker. I wouldn't be able to live with myself. He's already attacked Angela, we have no idea were Zack's at, for all we know he could be dead to, I just can't handle this Booth. I can't even think of what might happen if I lost you again. The first time almost killed me…and now…I can't lose you Booth… I just can't." She said through falling tears.

"And you don't think it would kill me if something happened to you?"

She took a deep breath then looked into his eyes. They were glassy and filled with his own tears as he gazed upon her pleading with her to stay.

"Ok…We do this together." She whispered to him while taking his hand in hers.

He squeezed it tight before hugging her legs and resting his head on her thighs.

"Thank you…I need you with me on this."

"Well you've got me." She answered.

Awe…so sweet. Speaking of sweet, maybe Sweets will make an appearance in the next chapter? Time to find out what he's been up to since this whole thing started. And just because the team has been taken off the case doesn't mean they can't "watch" what evidence is found. Thanks for reading and now we're going to get into the who done it and who can you trust part of the story, so stay tuned!

Ohhh...extra credit to the people that can name the movie I got the killers hallmark quote from???!!:)
