Your prayers have been answered….Well, almost answered that is. *giggle* aren't I a tease? Don't worry, I'll sedate some of your needs with this chapter however it is a little long so settle in. Thank you all for the reviews! I welcome criticism so please feel free to tell me anything you think I can improve on.

As always, Bones is not mine, neither are any of the characters or plots or anything else related to Bones. So, I'm shit out of luck.


Booth didn't want to hurt her but, he knew it was inevitable. He had to tell her.

"Bones you owe me an apology." The confused look on her face told him that she had no idea what he was talking about.

"Bones you're going to get married and have a baby with ken? You could have used my sperm donation you know. You didn't have to go and get engaged! And why didn't you even talk to me for those three months?" He thought she would be upset that he remembered but, the look on her face was a look of shock and joy.

"Booth, you remember? How much do you remember?" She came closer to him and he wanted to grab her and hold her for the rest of his life.

"Everything Bones. I remember my whole life and I remember everything about you. You're not upset?"

"Why would I be upset?" Booth walked over and sat on the couch and she followed, sitting so close to him that it was like torture.

"Well, when I remembered about the Roxy thing you looked so sad, like my remembering upset you. I thought that you didn't want me to remember because…well because…"

"Booth just tell me."

"Because I know too much about you. Because I know everything that you don't want anyone to know about you. I thought you were trying to run, isn't that why you didn't talk to me for three months?" That's what hurt the most when he finally remembered. Knowing that she could have just given up on him like that.

"Oh Booth," she sighed as she placed her hand on his upper thigh and looked into his eyes. Wow. That was unexpected and he wasn't as guarded as he usually is when she's around. His body responded to her touch like she was fire and he was ice. When the fire touched him he melted. He took in a slow steadying breath trying to calm himself.

"Booth that's not why I didn't speak to you. I thought that you would be better off not knowing me and I was right." She looked down at her hand and frowned.

"What the hell are you talking about Bones? How could I be better off without you?" His temperature was raising and her hand was not helping to calm that.

"Because, Booth you are such a great man. You are so kind and strong and sensitive and loving and I just can't be enough! I've tried! I want to be enough for you Booth but I am not! The line you drew for us a long time ago was a good idea but it is hard to stay behind an invisible line!" She stood up and paced the room as he tried to take in what she was saying.

"Temperance!" He yelled to get her attention. "Stop." Booth stood up and got in front of her. He put his hands around her waist and hugged her tightly. Her head fit perfectly in the crook of his neck like a puzzle piece that has finally been put in the right spot.

"What do you mean 'not good enough'?" He asked into her hair. "I'm the one who's not good enough for you. You're so sweet, so pure, and so kind. How could I ever be good enough?" She laughed into his chest and he pulled back slightly to see her face.

"Booth, I have to tell you something."

"I have to tell you a few things myself Bones."

"You go first." She let go of him and walked over to sit back down on the couch while Booth began.

"Bones, the man you are about to marry is a criminal. He marries unsuspecting women and then he steals from them and disappears. I thought I recognized him when I still had amnesia and when my memory came back to me I checked him out in the FBI data base under the name James Hearting. I'm sorry Bones but, I just sent a team after him. The look on her face was one of pain.

"I can't believe this."

"I'm sorry Bones." He put his hand over her shoulder and pulled her closer to him torturing himself some more. She replaced her hand on his thigh and his body immediately reacted.

"It's okay Booth. It's just a shock to the system. I didn't want to marry him. That's why I was sad when you remembered about Toni and Roxie, I was sad that I was going to marry him. Like you said I don't chose well when it comes to men. I think I've overcome that problem though. I didn't love him. I know now that I will never love anyone-"

"Never say never Bones!" Booth cut her off before she could finish. He hoped that one day she would love him the way he loved her.

"I was saying that I could never love anyone the way I love you." His heart stopped and she gave him an uneasy smile.

"Temperance, I've loved you for a long time. And you have been torturing me since I met you." He smiled his charm smile and he knew he'd have to explain. She didn't ask him to though and that pleased him. Her smile became seductive and she leaned in closer to his face. His heart grew louder in his ears and his penis grew larger with every second her hand stayed on his thigh. Finally he closed the gap and began to kiss her. Her lips were soft and thick and when she sucked on his tongue it sent shivers down his spine. He bit at her lips and what were soft tender kisses became rough and hot.

"Torture huh?" She giggled and broke free of Booths grasp. He didn't want her to stop; he didn't think he could take much more torment. He watched as that devious smile played on her lips. She walked away from him slowly and went by the door where she had put her handbag; she reached into it and pulled out something that Booth couldn't quite see.

"Bones?" He didn't know what was going on but he knew that his body ached for hers. She walked past him on the couch and then toward his bedroom. When she reached the door she curled her index finger motioning him to join her, then she disappeared into his room.

When he walked into his room she was laying on his bed with her shoes kicked off and the top two buttons of her shirt undone showing Booth her cleavage and a hint of her black bra underneath. His temperature rose and his heart began to pound the way he wanted to pound her. Hard and fast. No. He changed his mind, he wanted to take it slow with her, explore her, pleasure her, and memorize her body.

"What are you waiting for Seeley?" She gave him another devious smile and his heart stopped at the sound of his first name coming out of that sensual mouth of hers. He went to her and crawled on top of her. He began to kiss those amazing lips again taking it slow and soft this time. Her hand came up and ran along the back of his neck, making him shiver, and then into his hair. She moved her tongue in interesting ways, teasing his hard penis in the process. She wrapped her legs around him and giggled playfully as her powerful legs flipped him over onto his back. She was now straddling him with a playful yet sly look on her gorgeous face. Then she reached up and Booth felt a cold metal on his wrists. Before he had a chance to react she had him cuffed to the bed. She began to unbutton another button on her blouse and Booth let out a moan. She began to grind her herself against the large bulge in his jeans and he moaned again. She unbuttoned another button and Booth could now see her entire bra, black lace with a tiny red bow in the middle. He wanted to touch her but the hand cuffs weren't the toy ones you buy for this sort of thing. They were real and he knew he wouldn't be able to brake free of them. That didn't stop him from trying and when he did she giggled again.

"You'll need to locate the key before I'll allow you to be freed."

"Where is the key Temperance?" He asked her sternly. He wanted out of the cuffs, so that he could touch her and give her the pleasure she deserves.

"I told you that you would need to locate it Seeley. I suppose I can give you a hint though." Her smile and her eyes where playful and mischievous when she gave him the first clue.

"It's somewhere on my body."
