Previously:

Hot and flustered, Temperance inadvertently licked her lips. She looked into Booths eyes and held his gaze.

What came next was neither a sudden occurrence, nor a change of mind over time.

It just happened.

Alternative Chapter 5 Continued…

Slowly their lips connected.

Holding back the urge to hurry things along, Booth savoured the feel of the most perfect lips known to man, or well, known to him at least. They were so soft, just the right plumpness, cherry red in colour…not that he see the colour, as he was currently kissing the life out of these lips, but he had had that particular colour forever imprinted in his mind, since the first time he had laid eyes on Temperance Brennan.

Their relationship flashed before his eyes. The day they had been paired as FBI agent and consultant was maybe not a positive memory in how it went on, but he would forever be grateful that Temperance had come into his life that day and that she was still a part of his life. She was one of the most important parts of his life, only second to his son, Parker.

Days of working at crime scenes came to his mind, as well as nights in the lab trying to figure out who the bad guy was.

Then another flash of memories appeared, this time of the more personal kind. There was the time he had offered her a guy hug (not that he would ever hug a guy in that way!), the day he had seen the sorrow in her eyes, caused by her father and brother leaving her behind once again.

The memory that came along next was of the time when he had first felt the tingling feeling of Temperance's lips on any part of himself, more accurately on his hand. The moment he had stuck his hand between her cup of hot coffee and her lips, only intending for her not to get burnt (honestly!), he had longed to feel those lips against his own.

Now, his wish had come true. He was lying next to her, her body held tight to his and their lips never disconnecting.

Hi everyone :D

I am ever so excited to hear what you think of this addition/alternative to the 10 Dates story?
I need some reviews to guide me in the right direction...

What do you think of "chapter 11+12" / this addition to the original story?

Did I completely fail my attempt of writing fanfiction again after several years hiatus?

There is ONE more chapter written in this "story" in the story. I will publish this chapter as soon as I am asked to! Wont post anything if people are not wanting me to ;)

The original story is far from finished though, I have so many ideas for it. It's just very hard for me to hold my focus on writing, finding the motivation, the creative mind etc...when I most days have so many other things I could and should do (in real life ;), but never get done.

If you would still like to read more, I will do my very best to update this and my other stories. No promises though, it all depends how much time I have and if the writing bug hits me again soon (it does hit me often, but in my life, there's very far from the bug hitting in my mind and to the place where I manage to sit down and WRITE ;)

All I can say is: hope you like what you read, please review if you want to encourage the writing bug ;)
