Three dates later, Bones and Christine could certainly be considered going steady. They ate dinner every night together, and spent the weekends being almost inseparable. The pair was the talk of the ship, but they didn't care. Especially Bones; he was incandescently happy.

On their one month anniversary, Bones was working in the lab while Christine was filling out charts. A pretty ho-hum morning so far. However, McCoy decided he didn't want it to continue, so he went to confront his nurse.

Rather than speaking, Bones wrapped his arms around her curved waist. His face pressed up against her right cheek as he let out a long breath. Those dark blue eyes shut in contentment at the feeling of Christine so close to him.

"Leonard what—"

"Ssshhh."

Bones used his leverage to sway them from side to side. Christine's breath hitched, and her eyes too closed at the feeling of McCoy right next to her. She found her head was growing heavy the more they leaned each way. It fell back onto Bones's shoulder; exposing her neck. Bones led a trail of kisses from her collarbone, up the length of her neck, and finished with a lingering one right behind her right ear.

"Hahhh," Christine sighed out when he reached that part.

Christine untangled them in order to face him. She ran her hands over the sides of his neck and down the front of his chest. When she got to his waist, she gripped his hips hard and thrusted him into her. Her lips came crashing into his with force. Their faces moved in tandem for what seemed like hours. Bones's left arm wrapped around the back of her shoulders, whilst the other embraced her lower back.

After a while, Bones moved his hands to her waist as well, and moved her to the back wall. He pinned her there, and licked a trail from underneath her chin to the tip of her ear. He then bit her collarbone to claim her as his. Not hard enough to leave a wound, but definitely noticeable. She moved her arms to lock around his neck, and leaned down by his face in order to force his lips to hers. Bones let his lips follow his hands all the way down her body. He pressed a kiss in the middle of her breasts, on her navel, and two on each side of her pubic bone. All the while, his hands slid down her sides; not stopping until he was to her ankles.

"Leonard I—"

"Ssshhh," he chided again. "Stay there."

Christine did as she was told. Her eyes were closed again; reveling in the feeling of Bones's breath all over her legs. He reached up to lift her skirt, pleased to find she was wearing her satin thong. McCoy took his teeth, and dragged the panties down for better access. His coarse hands were placed on each of her inner thighs. He gently pushed them apart until her thong was now stretching across the span of her legs. Bones's breath was warm on her, and she was breathing harder now. Bones gave a smirk at the sound of it. He let his palm slide across her area. Then, he let his head go completely under her skirt. His tongue darted onto her already wet vagina. Christine was squirming now at the contact. He was so warm on her, sending her nerve endings into chaos. She let her fingers twist into his hair, and pull him up to standing straight.

After kissing her more, Bones picked her up, and threw her over his shoulder. Christine laughed at the action, but Bones spanked her in retaliation. When they got to the biobeds, Bones wrapped his left hand around the back of her head, and gently lifted her off of him and onto her back on the bed. She kicked her shoes off, and wiggled until the thong was completely off of her and fell to the floor.

"I need to check your vitals, Nurse."

McCoy turned the monitors on, and watched as her heart monitor jumped high in the air. Beeping from how high it was going.

"Somebody's excited."

All Christine could do was nod her head in agreement. Bones crawled onto the medical bed with her; kneeling between her legs. Christine raised her top half up enough to reach his pants. She unfastened them quickly, practically ripping them off of him. He crossed his arms over, and took his shirt off with one smooth movement. Christine did the same with her dress. Each of them moved to feel the other one's flesh against their palms. Christine swiped across McCoy's stomach, over his sides, and around to pull apart his cheeks.

"Easy, darlin'" Bones moaned at the feeling.

The whole time, each of them could hear the sound of her monitor beeping uncontrollably. A speed that would have sent them to check on a patient. Luckily, they were the only ones on duty today. Bones only got more revved up at the sound of it. He loved that he was making her so turned on.

Bones cupped her breasts in each of his hands. He reached underneath the fabric of her bra; tracing the outline of each breast with his fingers. He moved upwards to brush his hand tenderly over her cheek. Placing sweet kisses all over her now very flushed face. Christine hooked her arms around his shoulders, and pulled him down so that she lay flat with him directly on top of her. His erect penis very apparent against her inner thigh.

"Are you sure," Bones asked as he brushed hair behind her ear.

"Yes," she breathed out.

Bones pressed a chaste kiss to her lips before lifting himself slightly off of her. He grabbed himself, and guided his member into her. Once the tip was in, he pushed in very slowly. Christine went silent, her breath holding. Her eyes squeezed shut.

"Am I hurting you?"

"It's not that bad. Just keep going."

Bones did as he was told and pushed in, still slow, to being all the way in her. His face went to the side of hers as it had been at the start. He began to thrust gently.

"Ahhh," he groaned.

She held his head against her, her fingers threading through his brown locks. She rubbed his scalp and kissed the top of his head as he thrust up into her. It was the best feeling she could have ever imagined. A small smile appeared on her face as she stared at the ceiling in knowing that he was the one with her. She loved him, and now, she definitely knew he loved her back.

His right arm wrapped under her waist as he came, holding her steady as he rode it out. He pulled back to look in her glimmering eyes. A large smile swept across his lips. He kissed her hard again.

"Happy anniversary, Christine."

They put their uniforms back on, and went back to their duties for the day. They had plans that night, but neither of them thought those would actually go through. They knew where they would be. Bones changed the sheets and bought candles in the hopes that it would occur. Christine had some lingerie hidden in her drawer she kept in his quarters just in case.

Christine went to the mess for coffee, but little did she realize her hair still looked disheveled. As she left SickBay she ran into Spock.

"Miss Chapel? Are you sufficient?"

"Yes, sir. Why do you ask?"

Spock's eyes went to her hair. He didn't say anything. Christine automatically started patting it down.

"Oh, yes. Well, I didn't have much time to fix it this morning."

"I see…"

With that, Spock parted with a goodbye, and went to meet Kirk in the turbolift.

"What were you talking to Chapel about?"

"I was merely inquiring as to why her hair was not regulation today."

"What do you mean?"

"It was… untamed."

"That's not like Christine… Wait! What day is it?"

"The 28th. Why do you ask, Captain?"

Kirk was laughing now. He had a smile of absolute satisfaction plastered on his face.

"I fail to see what is humorous."

"It's her and Bones's anniversary today!"

He just kept laughing. Spock clearly wasn't getting it.

"I fail to see what that has to do with her physical appearance."

"I'll tell you when you're older, Spock."

Kirk was going to give Bones so much snark in the morning. But not today. Today was for him and Christine.
