10 Dates - chapter 5
The rising sun was shining through the windows, promising a beautiful summer's day ahead. The sky was the most amazing blend of colours. Orange and purple shades fighting for dominance, but loosing out to the clear blue taking over the sky. Birds were singing happily flying from tree to tree finding food and branches for their nests.
Booth had been awake for quite a while. He was enjoying the feeling of Temperance Brennan in his arms. Bones, his Bones, asleep in his arms. Could the day start out any more perfect?
He couldn't stop looking at her relaxed face. She looked so peaceful in her sleep. He only wished she was so at ease when awake. He made a promise to himself then and there that he would do everything in his power to make her look and feel just as relaxed and happy when awake as she was just then.
He felt her stir beside him and saw her eyes flicker. His eyes were fixated on her mouth as she let out a yawn. He wanted to kiss her so badly. He would have given anything to feel those lips against his.
He was so occupied with her mouth and trying not to lean forward just a few inches to kiss her that he didn't notice her looking at him.
"How long have you been staring at me like that, Booth?" He suddenly heard her say. He felt his face blush and stuttering he tried to explain himself.
"Ehhh, I wasn't…I didn't…It's not what you think" He managed to say in his current state of embarrassment.
He lifted his eyes to meet hers and to his relief she wasn't mad. On the contrary, she was smiling teasingly back at him. He couldn't believe it. Bones was flirting with him. The downside, if there ever was one, was that her flirting didn't help much with the kissing dilemma. Other parts of his body were starting to react as well, and he just prayed to god she wouldn't notice.
"I can't help myself" He said, thinking he should get back at her for making him blush, "You look beautiful"
He leaned forward resting his forehead against hers and he knew he had gotten to her as her face reddened and he felt her hot skin beneath his. He wanted her so much. He wanted to take her in his arms, carry her to her bedroom and make love to her. It would never be anything but making love. His feelings for her were beyond the possibility of just sex.
He knew it was too early though. She wasn't ready and he wasn't going to push her. But he also knew that he couldn't wait long. He didn't want to wait. He wanted to show her and tell her how much she meant to him. It would be a longs process, but he was patient. He knew she was worth every minute he had to wait.
Temperance tried to calm her breathing. Did he know what he was doing to her? Her heart was beating a thousand beats a minute, her breathing shallow. A warm glow filled her body and her skin was tingling. She wanted him so badly, but the feeling also scared her out of her mind. This was Booth, her partner! Ok, he was also her best friend, she admitted to herself, but they were just friends, nothing more. She felt a panic cursing through her body. She wanted to jump up and run. To run away from him. She didn't. She took a deep breath and told herself to calm down. Normally nothing could have stopped one of her panic attacks. This time though, she was in his arms and being close to him, feeling safe with him gave her the strength to fight the panic.
She lifted her eyes to look into his. What she saw in his eyes almost frightened her once again. His eyes were so full of love and kindness, but there was something else there too. Lust.
She leaned forward and kissed his cheek softly before whispering in his ear:
"Thank you"
