Here's another chapter. The weekend is coming to an end but the surprises are not over. Enjoy the reading and stop to review. Thanks.
A/N: I'm working on the final chapter, it's a real challenge but I've had so much fun planning this story and writing about these two characters that it's really worth the hours I spent at the computer.
And of course I do not own Bones.
Chapter 4
"Care to drive, Booth?" She asked him as they left the hotel.
"Why? We don't have a ... Wow, Bones!" he exclaimed looking at the Toyota Black SUV parked in front of the entrance.
She smiled at his bewilderment "I guess you do."
"Dr. Brennan, your baggage is already in the trunk." Stated the young hotel car attendant. "Have a nice trip."
"Thank you" she said giving him a generous tip and a smile.
"Thank you."Replied the young man blushing.
"So can I ask where we're going?"
She pointed at the navigator which had already been set.
"Oh, Rhode Island. Nice." he said.
"It won't take long and we can stop and have lunch along the route."
Before fastening his safety belt he leaned over and softly kissed her "Off we go Bones."
"Yes, there's still a lot to come." she said kissing him back. "Oh, and I've brought some music too. Would you like me to put the CD on?"
"Sure, Bones... a lovely weekend together...our car... some good music... can I ask for more?" he said smiling like a kid on his way to a merry-go-round.
Just wait and see... she thought.
"And Led Zeppelin! Great choice." he stated skimming the names she had written on the CD jacket.
"After all, didn't you say they are the rock band?"
"You're the best, Bones. You know that, right?"
She simply nodded. "Now how about this one?" she said pushing the forward touch.
The notes of Hot Blooded filled the car. "Oh, yeah baby. Do you want me to tighten my tie around my head?" he joked.
They smiled at each other and started to sing happily to their favourite song as they headed for the coast.
B&B
"We're close Booth. See that sign over there? You should take the next road on the right. The restaurant is straight ahead, by the sea front."
"Got it."
"This place is beautiful, really!" he said getting out of the car.
"Very. I'd like to walk to the light house Booth" she told him pointing at the building on top of a small hill, not far from where they stood.
"Sure, me too". He took her hand and led their way.
They were silent. A light breeze danced through her hair and the sun beams turned it into a brighter shade of brown. Standing behind her he circled her body with his arms, holding her close as they watched the wonderful bay before them. She crossed her arms around his and rested her head on his chest feeling his regular heart beat. As they stood motionless in each other's arms Brennan couldn't help but think that maybe he was right, that God actually could exist. There was so much beauty around them... but then she thought about all the victims they had identified over the years... the bones still lying somewhere undiscovered and her hope faded. No, there could not be a God, but there still was love. She had come to experience that, with him. And it felt good. In that hyper rational mind of hers she needed no more proof, in that he had been right, love actually existed. And she was turned round and found his mouth, warm and sweet. She felt her love flowing into him as their lips locked. He deepened his kiss pulling her close, feeling her urge. Hands started to wander frantically over their bodies, desire burning in their eyes.
"Bones, oh baby, I want you so much but... we can't do this here. It's a federal offense. I'm sorry."
"Yes, I know. Let's go and have lunch Booth."
"How is your pie?"
"Bones I swear it's the best slice I've ever had in my life"
"I'd like to taste it."
He looked at her, puzzled. "Bones... you never..." But then he understood, cut a small bit of pastry and brought it to her lips.
"It is quite good actually. So speaking about evidence, this is definitely the best place to have home- made pastry of the area, the tourist guide did not lie."
He nodded swallowing his pie till the last crumb disappeared from the plate.
"Shall we go? There's another forty miles before we get to the house."
"A house? Bones it's the first time you ever say something about our destinations during the whole weekend!"
"Well, I guess I can give myself away right now, in fact that's where we're staying until we go back to DC."
"Good."
B&B
"We're almost there Bones" he said glancing at the navigator.
"Yes, I can already see the house. That" – she pointed out - "the light blue one."
"It looks nice."
"And it's quite peaceful. Not many people venture round here this time of the year."
"How did you find it?" he asked her.
" It belongs to an old friend from Uni. She's on vacation in Europe with her husband. I used to come and spend the weekend every now and then, relax a little bit. The village is about ten minutes' drive and it's packed with tourists during the summer and there's a small restaurant where you can have delicious lobsters."
"Sounds good Bones. How about dinner tonight?"
"OK, now shall we go and have a look inside?" she suggested getting the key out of her handbag.
The living room was large with beautiful bay windows and built-in seats overlooking the ocean. The country-style decoration was quite simple, white furniture, a round table with four chairs, two armchairs and a coffee table, two bookshelves by the walls. Opposite the front door a large fireplace, and what seemed to be a very comfortable four-seat sofa. The curtains and the armchairs shared the same printed fabric. The room lead directly to the kitchen which was at the back of the house.
"I'll take our suitcases upstairs" he said.
"There are two bedrooms, pick the one you like the best, Booth."
"Won't you come up with me?"
"Sure" she replied.
"I love this one Bones, do you?"
"Actually I do, I used to sleep here, you know? This room is called TheOcean. Oh, it is exactly as I remembered..."
The light blue walls, the twin windows with a spectacular view of the beach. She let her mind go back to the hours she had spent sitting by the window looking at the most incredible starry nights, lulled by the soft moaning of the waves as they gently came to die on the shore. The curtains and the quilt were still the same, made of soft white and blue striped fabric. And she had always loved the white wicker headboard of the bed. She noticed that some pictures of the most famous lighthouses of the East Coast had been added on the walls while everything else was pretty much unchanged.
"You're right Bones... this place is so peaceful... and it really feels like home..."
Booth pulled the curtains and opened the shutters letting the warm afternoon sun light fill the room. She reached him and they stood a moment looking at the wonderful golden beach stretching on both sides of the house.
"How about a walk along the seashore?" he proposed.
"Yeah, I'd love to."
"Oh, it is cold" she exclaimed as her feet touched the water.
"Very" he confirmed rolling his jeans up his ankles "It's so beautiful here... and deserted. Bones? Do you realise that we have a whole beach by ourselves?"
"Actually I do". And as she spoke she stopped to look at him.
Suddenly he saw the colour change in her eyes, the iris turning to dark grey. He had seen her eyes change like that only once before, the night he had convinced her to flee the bar without paying (or at least so she had thought) just for the fun of doing something crazy.
And what is she now...?
but he was unable to finish the sentence in his mind as Temperance dragged him into the water plunging on top of him.
She laughed and screamed like a wild animal, sending a thrill along his spine. They emerged soaking wet, their clothes clinging to their bodies.
"Playing dirty, are we?" he teased.
"Yes" she challenged him.
He pulled her in his arms and stepped out of the water. Kneeling down he laid her on the sand frantically stripping just the part of their clothes he needed to. She laid still quivering in anticipation. He took her with a groan, biting her neck like a beast on its prey and she screamed as he pounded into her, calling out his name like she never had before. He collapsed on top of her, his brain blown up, his body shivering with chills of pleasure.
"My God Bones!... What... was... that?" he said finally able to make a coherent speech.
"Us... wild... and... passionate... it was..."
"Unbelievable... how do you feel?" He asked her.
"Great... and... freezing cold." She laughed holding him close.
"Let's go home Bones."
