Chapter: 11

What makes this intimate?

"Are you sure you're alright Bones?" Booth asked bringing her an icepack from his kitchen.

She took it from his hand and nodded, "yes, I'm sure." She put the pack to her head and groaned some. The tightening in her chest still ached, but it was nothing she couldn't handle. "You really shouldn't have come out there Booth, not with your back messed up like it is."

Booth flipped on his new 50" plasma screen and turned the volume down some looking over at her, "you're my partner, Bones. When Angela called and said there was an accident I didn't care how bad it was -," he shook his head some and swallowed hard, "I just knew I had to be there for you." His cheeks turned a little red and he blinked a few times looking back at the TV.

Temperance's heart fluttered in her chest. She tried to convince herself it was the left over adrenaline she had from the sword fight, but deep down she knew it was because of the care he had for her. He always did this to her and she didn't know how to handle it sometimes. She put the pack down on the table and winced in pain putting her hand over her chest while taking in a deep breath.

Booth turned to her quickly, "Bones?"

She shook her head and faked a smile, "I'm fine, Booth. Really," she lied. She wasn't ok. It wasn't ok for him to make her feel this way. It wasn't ok for her to have these emotions that were just temporary. Love didn't last; the care you could have for people did, but not love. At least not in her experience it didn't. No one stuck around long enough for her to find out, and it wasn't just in her sexual relationships with men, it included her family. They abandoned her when she was younger, and although they were in her life now, she loved Russ and her father, but it wasn't the type of bonding love that should have been.

Bones let her thoughts go for now, she didn't want to think about any of that at the moment. She turned to see Booth still staring at her, she smiled at him and watched him lean back more on the couch. His face filled with pain and worry. "You should really get your back looked at."

Seeley sighed and shook his head, "nah, It'll pass." He sounded confident and Bones knew it was because he was used to the pain and eventually it would go away because he would mentally forget about it. "So what'da wanna watch?" he asked not looking at her.

She studied him for a minute and slowly stood up. Booth's eyes followed her as she took his hand and slowly pulled him up with her. "Come on." She pulled him down the hall to his bedroom. Booth pulled back from her as she opened the door to his bedroom. "What's the matter?" she asked reaching out for his hand again pulling him inside.

His bed was nice, white sheets and a wood frame, very big -masculine. It was so Booth. "What are you doing, Bones?" he asked shyly as she pulled him over to the bed making him sit down.

"Take off your shirt!" she commanded.

He swallowed loudly. "W –what?" He knew Bones and always wondered how she would approach the subject of sex with him, he knew she was a literal person, but this was so not the moment for it. He didn't get to prepare himself for this.

"Take off your shirt." She instructed again while reaching down to pull it up.

He stopped her, "why?"

"I'm gonna help you with your back." Her voice was innocent as she pulled his shirt up this time not letting him stop her.

Booth looked at her for a moment, she really had no idea how sexual he could make this moment right now. Thank god she was literal ninety-nine percent of the time. "Ah, you don't have to Bones." He tried to protest without making a move to put his shirt back on.

"Just let me help you Booth." She pushed him back as he willingly scooted himself on the bed he watched her take her boots off and get on his bed on her knees. "Lay on your stomach."

This time he hesitated then obliged. Booth brought both his hands under his chin as he laid on his stomach. "Just don't hurt me, ok?" he chuckled and took in a deep breath.

Bones' breath hitched seeing the muscles in his back, they were tense but incredible. She had seen him naked once when she walked in on him in his 'relaxation time' after he was shot and that did it for her. Seeing his body with his personality it confirmed just how perfect he was to her. Bones shook her thoughts of a naked Booth away and straddled his ass, both legs on either sides of his hips. "Just relax ok." She slowly moved her hands along his spine feeling him jump a little. "I said relax, Booth. I'm not going to hurt you!"

"Your hands are cold!" he said trying to look over his shoulder.

She chuckled and grinned ignoring his complaint while she worked her hands along his trapezius, her small hands were tender yet firm in the motion she was going. She knew most of his pain ordered from his lower lumbar but she wanted to loosen him up a bit before she got to the most sensitive and painful area.

Booth closed his eyes and tried not to imagine that Bones was straddling his body or that her hands were messaging him. Thank goodness the tightening in his pants was well hidden by the mattress. But it still didn't help his situation any as he moaned every time she touched a sensitive part. When her small, now warm hands came along his sides she arched into her touch and groaned. He felt her stop for a moment, probably wondering if she was hurting him more or not then he felt her start again. As her hands traveled lower he arched his upper body and let out a small growl.

Bones really stopped that time and bit her lip as she leaned forward, her chest pressing against his upper back. Booth stiffened and not just his body, his cock hardened even more with the close proximity of her body now. Did she really now know what she was doing to him? Then he felt hot breath against his ear and neck, "are you ok, Booth?" she said almost in a whisper. Or maybe it wasn't a whisper? Booth wasn't sure at this point; he was so aroused it didn't matter.

He turned his head to see her face close to his, "your fine, Bones." He spoke almost breathlessly with a screech in his voice. He cleared his throat, "y –you can continue. Just be gentle." When she pulled away he sighed at the loss of her body against his and rolled his eyes. Be gentle? What are you a virgin? He inwardly scoffed and tensed a little again feeling her hands along his lower back.

Bones felt tense herself, but this was nothing to her. Yes, nothing Temperance. You two are colleges… friends, you've kissed before but that was nothing, just a Christmas present to Caroline. The fluttering your heart is experiencing is just… its just because of what happened today. Its nothing. Not feelings for Booth, or an emotional tie you have to him. She tried to convince herself as her hands got lower and moved their way back up. His moans weren't helping her at all; a small flood broke between her thighs as she messaged along his back more. She tried to take her mind off of him… off of them. But she couldn't. Bones moaned a little in frustration and somewhat pleasure, she saw Booth move his head to look back at her. "You ok?"

She smiled at him and moved her hands to his head pushing him back down, "no talking." She felt in control again as he did as told and kept his head down. It's just been awhile is all. Your fine. She smiled in satisfaction and continued to rub his back, her mind was made up this was normal for two friends to do this. It was innocent; nothing at all about it was strange.

Right?

X/X/X/

After awhile Bones' back started to hurt her not to mention her chest again as she had been rubbing Booth's back for well over an hour. His moans drove her crazy, but she did her best to contain herself as much as possible. She swung one leg over and crawled her way up towards his face. He didn't move, he must have fallen asleep? But when she looked at him he had a grin on his face, "that was incredible, babe!" he moaned out opening his eyes to see her face next to his as she laid her head on the pillow he had his head on. His eyes widened seeing her this close to him, he was going to move to give her space but then he saw her smile.

She looked at him with a grin and chuckled, babe? That was short for baby, which she hated being called because she was in fact not an infant. But she didn't say anything to him; it was kind of cute when he called her that. She stiffened a yawn and blinked a few times. Booth leaned up a little to look at his alarm clock on the night table behind Bones. It was almost midnight. Booth was tired too and Bones had no car now. Well the moment is over; she'll want to go home now. Booth sighed with that though and opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by her.

"It's late Booth." She stated the obvious.

"It is." He yawned himself and made no attempt to move. He was comfortable with her by his side like this, in some way he felt safe. He could fully protect her now if she stayed here with him.

"We have to get up early so we can find out who those guys were," she whispered looking over his face carefully. This was all too comfortable for Temperance; it felt right to be with him like this. It was intimate, not the 'lets take off our clothes and have sex' intimate but it was intimate. She couldn't quite explain it. "If you're too tired to take me home I can always -,"

"Stay here." He interrupted her with a smile. She looked at him shocked for a moment so Booth knew that was his cue to make a move. He slowly sat up on his side and rested his head against his hand, his elbow propped up on his pillow to give her a little space. "I would have to pick you up in the morning anyhow. Just stay here and I'll take you home in the morning before we head into the lab," he said softly seeing her sit up more.

She looked around the room with her eyes then back at him, "ok." By the look on his face she could tell he wasn't expecting her to agree, but it was logical to do so. He was right, he would have to pick her up in the morning anyhow, and they were both tired so why risk it.

Booth smiled at her and yawned again before crawling his way off the bed. His back felt incredible. He arched forward and looked down at her as she sat up on his bed. She looked perfect in his bed. Booth swallowed hard with his thoughts and walked over to his dresser, "my back feels great, Bones. Thank you." He saw her through his mirror as she smiled to herself and smoothed her hand over his white cotton bed sheets. He turned around and threw one of his black button up shirts to her. "You can wear this to sleep in," he said almost bashfully.

Brennan unfolded the shirt and stood up, "thanks," she said softly glancing around the room once more before she started for the door.

"Whoa, where you going?" he asked her while gripping her upper arm to stop her from her stride.

"Out to your living room."

"No, no, you sleep in my bed, Bones. I'll take the couch." He didn't want her sleeping on his couch; it wasn't the most comfortable thing to sleep on. He didn't want her to hurt in the morning when she woke, besides it wasn't polite to make her sleep out there anyhow.

She shook her head, "Its really no problem. Besides you're the one with the bad back not me. I really don't mind it Booth," she said firmly walking past him and turned around at the door, "goodnight." She walked down the hall and into his living room. She looked around at the pictures on his walls and all the clocks he had. She never understood that, his bathroom had about a dozen clocks in it, was he obsessed with telling time? Or was it a thing for Parker? She chuckled at her thoughts and slipped her shirt over her head as well as slid her pants down her slender legs.

Booth stood there for a moment, he couldn't let her sleep out there it just wasn't right. He rubbed the back of his neck as he walked quietly down the hall. He stopped dead in his tracks seeing a thing of beauty. Bones. Her legs were long and slender, her back was smooth and milk white. Her shoulders, he wanted to nibble on them just like the rest of her. He watched as she slipped his shirt on slowly, it just barley covered the bottom half of her ass. Thank god her back was to him. Your going to hell Seeley! Your not supposed to be watching her get dressed! He let out a shaky sigh feeling his body temperature rise, all the heat and blood in his body traveling south.

He saw her start to turn around as he backed away into the hall again. He closed his eyes briefly before opening them to see a picture of him and Parker. He thought about that day at the park, the animals and clowns. Clowns. He shivered and instantly had the courage now to walk back into the living room without letting her know he had a hard on. For her.

"Bones? You descent?" he called out walking slowly into the living room with his hand over his eyes as though he saw nothing.

"Yes." She sighed at the sight of him with no shirt on. A shiver ran along her spine, her legs quivered as she quickly leaned back on the arm of his couch. She knew if it were possible for people to melt, she would have.

Booth uncovered his eyes and swallowed loudly, she was even more beautiful now. If that were possible? "Bones, your taking my bed." He pulled her by her hand and down the hall much like she did to him hours ago.

"But Booth -,"

"No, buts, Bones. Just do it ok? You're my guest, besides I like watching TV before I fall asleep it relaxes me." That was a total lie, actually the sound of the TV and the light from it made sleeping more complicated but she seemed to buy it.

"A –alright, if you say so?" Her lips shifted from side to side seeing him come towards her. He brushed past her and pulled the covers back.

"Sleep. I'll wake you in the morning." He smiled at her and looked around his room, he was having trouble now. He didn't want to leave but knew he had to. Damn it all for her being so tempting. He brushed his hand against her upper arm, "night, Bones." With that he left quickly before he did something stupid.

Bones sat on his bed and flipped the lamp off before sliding under the sheets. His bed was extremely comfortable, it smelt like him. Manly and delicious. She cooed softly and buried her face in his pillow before she drifted off into a deep slumber.

X/X/X/

The next morning Booth had trouble getting her up, first because he didn't want to wake her. She looked like Sleeping Beauty laying there in his bed and second because she didn't seem to want to get up. It was funny, he would have though she would have been up before him, she was always prompt and ready. Sometimes anyhow? But he eventually woke her and they carried off to her apartment. Booth walked her up to her door and told her he would be back in a half an hour. He went to get coffee and donuts for them to start their day.

His back didn't hurt him too bad today, mainly because he didn't sleep much last night. Just the thought of her being in his apartment sleeping, not to mention in his bed was bad enough, he couldn't sleep with all those thoughts… dirty thought roaring through his mind. Booth sipped on his coffee as he rode the elevator up to her apartment, his cell went off just as the doors opened.

"Booth."

"Hey, its Ange. Are you with Brennan?" she asked.

"I was. I dropped her off at her apartment and went for some coffee. I'm walking up to her door now; we'll be there in a few."

"Whoa wait? You dropped her off? Did she have to stay at the hospital last night?" she asked worried.

Booth stopped in front of Temperance's door. "No, she refused to go. She stayed with me last night I -,"

"Way to go Booth! So you two finally -,"

"Hold on! Nothing happened, Angela. I was too tired to drive her and I figured it was the best and safest way for us both." He said somewhat honestly.

"Uh, huh! Sure?" she smirked on the other end. "Well you two need to get your butts in here," Angela said softly. "Cam found who the previous owner was of the movie prop."

Booth reached for Bones' doorknob when it flew open. There she stood fresh faced and dressed, ready to go. "We're on our way." He flipped his phone shut and smiled at her handing her, her coffee.

"Who was that?" she asked casually as they walked down the hall.

"Angela. Cam found the previous owner of the Light Saber."

X/X/X/

Booth dropped Bones off at the lab as he went to the Hoover building to interrogate this Badgley Mormont. He knew it was going to be interesting just with the guys name alone, so he had Sweets on the other side of the mirror feeding him information as he spoke to the guy. Turns out that he and the victim were sexually involved and when she broke it off with him, she also somehow became the new owner of the Light Saber. Mr. Mormont claimed that she stole it from him but there was no real proof of it seeing how the Saber had been in several other people's possessions in the past.

Booth watched the guy's moves as he sat uncomfortable in the chair. "You ok there Mr. Mormont?" Booth asked giving the guy a guilty look.

Badgley cleared his throat and rubbed his upper arm hard. Booth noticed he was doing that a lot. Sweets told him it maybe a nervous habit of some kind? But Booth noticed different. "I'm fine. I just don't like being accused of something I didn't do!" he said loudly. He stood up quickly and when he did Booth stood as well.

"Sit down!" Booth growled.

Badgley hummed nervously and made a break for the door, Booth grabbed him quickly by his upper arm as the nerd squealed Booth ripped his sleeve off to reveal a deep cut that was now bleeding. Booth pushed him back against the table, "it was you last night wasn't it?" Booth shouted hearing the door behind him swing open. "You ran my partner off the road?" Booth said angrily again.

"W –what are you talking about?" Badgley asked scared.

"That cut! You wanted to play sword fights and got yourself hurt. You weren't expecting Dr. Brennan to know what she was doing she cut you," Booth said as Sweets circled around the table looking intently at the view in front of him.

"I knew his voice sounded familiar!" Lance said quickly.

X/X/X/

"So you mean to tell me that nothing happened between you two last night?" Angela prodded Bones for answers as she leaned against her desk.

Temperance blushed some and shook her head putting some books back on their selves. "No. I told you I rubbed his back and we went to bed, that's it." Bones' voice was causal as always.

Angela rolled her eyes and sighed, "come on Bren! Wake up already!" Angela said almost pleading.

Bones turned to look at her wide eyes, "I am awake!" She didn't get the underline of Angela's tone or meaning.

"No, sweetie!" Angela sighed and walked over to her putting her hands on Bones' shoulders. "You and Booth -," she started to say then sighed again to think while dropping one hand from her shoulder. "You two are so blind sometimes! Everything about your relationship with him screams tension!" she said calmly.

"But there isn't tension between us, Ange. Booth and I are fine!"

"Not like that. I mean sexual tension!" she said almost excited.

Bones swallowed hard and backed away from Angela to go sit back at her desk. "There is no sexual tension between me and Booth. If there was I'd know!" she lied biting her lip.

"No you wouldn't. You block the good things out." She saw the confused look on her best friends face and walked around her desk and leaned on it. "Don't you see that every time your around Booth you're a totally different person?"

"That's not possible to change physical form and be another person."

Angela rolled her eyes, "yes I know that. Just listen to me ok?" She waited for a nod then continued, "your happy, Bren. When Booth's around you're a totally different person, you see outside the box and think more with your heart then your mind." She could tell that Brennan wanted to say something, but didn't because she was slowly understanding what she was saying. "Every since Special Agent Sexy walked into this lab and you two started working together its been magic, sweetie. Not the literal magic, but the magic of caring and love."

"But I don't love Booth." Bone said trying to sound convincing.

"Yes you do!" Angela argued. "I'm your best friend; you can't lie and tell me any different. I know what I know!" Angela said firmly leaning off her desk. "And I'm not the only one!" she added with a wink.

Bones stood and sighed, a light blush crawled on her face she knew somewhere deep down it was love she just couldn't admit it. "Well if what you say is true then … then -," she stalled not knowing what to say.

Angela just smiled at her, "you'll figured it all out sooner or later, sweetie I promise. Just give it time." Angela smiled at her once more and turned for the door seeing Booth walking through with a grin. Angela sighed happily and strode out of Brennan's office.

"What's she so happy about?" Booth asked putting his hands in his pockets.

Bones shrugged a little, "I'm not sure?"

Booth let it go and walked closer to Temperance clapping and rubbing his hands together. "We got him Bones!" he poked at her happily and grabbed her jacket to help her put it on.

"So it was Badgley then?" she asked moving her hair from under her jacket.

Booth smiled and nodded as she grabbed her bag and slung it over her shoulder. Booth put his hand on her lower back guiding her out of her office. "He was also one of the guys who attacked you last night. The one you cut?" he said stopping their walk.

Bones smiled triumphantly, "where we going?"

Booth chuckled and started their walk again, "we have a session with Sweets. Then if your nice to me I'll take you to lunch." He smiled at her opening the doors ushering her out first.

"But I'm always nice to you and you always take me to lunch!"

Angela stood at the top of the platform observing the scene in front of her. She hugged her sketch pad to her chest and chuckled.

"Think they'll ever realize their feelings for each other?" Hodgins asked standing next to her.

Angela smiled sweetly and turned to him, "defiantly."
