The Beginning in the Year

Booth and Brennan kissed on the balcony as the fireworks boomed over their heads. The fireworks display was nothing compared to the fireworks that exploded between them this night. Brennan pulled at Booth to deepen the kiss. She moved her hands down from his neck to his chest then underneath his jacket. She slipped her hands under the jacket to take it off of him. Booth snapped out of his daze when he felt Brennan's hands begin unbutton his shirt.

"Bones, this is getting a little heated," he tried to say as he kissed her again. A small whimper came from underneath his lips that matched his groan. "I better, ummm, go take my 40th cold shower." He said as he started to put some distance between them.

Brennan gave Booth a smoldering look and licked her lips that made Booth instantly hard. "Do you need help reaching your back?"

"Wh-what did you just ask?" a shocked Booth stuttered.

"Let me start over, do you love me?" Brennan said seductively.

"Yes, I love you!"

"Then prove it, Booth. Show me just how much you love me." Bones said as she pulled him to the bedroom. She smiled at him invitingly.

Booth sent up a quick thank you to the heavens. But being Booth he asked her again "Bones, for all that is Holy, are you sure? You wanted to wait; I don't want to pressure you."

"Booth, shut up" Brennan crashed her lips against his and continued to the removal of his clothing. His shirt fell off without mishap. Brennan moved to her knees, like she did a couple of Christmas ago. Booth took a quick intake of air and held it.

"Need to recite any saints this time, Booth?" she teased.

She kissed his abs while working the belt loose from his pants. She looked up at him with eyes that were filled with desire, passion, and love. She pulled down his satin champagne boxers knowing that he wore these because his other 'Boothy' items were off limits tonight. She proceeded to take off his socks one at a time.

Brennan used both her mouth and his tongue to kiss and lick her way back up until she stood eye to eye with him again. She placed an open mouth kiss on his throat before she pushed him back on the bed. Brennan stood before him bathed only in the light from the sitting area. She began to undress in front of him. This time she was his private dancer, moving along to music that was in her head. She took off her heels one at a time. Booth knew that if she didn't hurry this along, this night was going to end quicker than he wanted.

"Bones" Booth moaned when he saw that she stood in only her heels and matching red bra and panty set that left little to the imagination.

Booth was a man of action and moved off the bed in one swift motion. He put both hands on either side of Brennan's face then moved his hands into her hair. He could not get enough of this woman. She was his and tonight she would be his fully.

He carried her to the bed and laid her down. He got on the bed next to her before he rolled on top of her. Her legs parted so they would fit together better, allowing him access to be as close as possible as they continued to explore each other.

During these first hours of the New Year, Booth and Brennan became one. Laws of physics were tested and arguably broken over and over again. It was about 3am, when Booth pulled Brennan closer to him to snuggle. "I love you, Bones"

Brennan who was almost asleep mumbled her reply back, "loveyoutoo."

Booth felt a calm that he had never felt before. This was what it was like to make love, he thought he knew when he explained it to Brennan after a case, but he was wrong. It was so much more. Those were his last thoughts as he drifted off to sleep holding the woman of his dreams.

The party upstairs was winding down since it was after midnight and the confrontation. Angela looked at her husband and friends astonished. She looked around for her best friend and noticed that neither her nor her date were at the party. She looked to see if Booth was around to see Angela making a complete ass of herself in front of Hannah.

"What have I done?"

"Angela, no one knew, Booth didn't tell any of us that they were no longer together. I am not even sure Dr. Brennan knew." Cam said.

Hodgins looked away as Booth's warning rang very loudly in his head. He could keep quiet as long as Angela couldn't see his face.

"Ange, let's just call it a night okay, it's late and I am sure you are tired. You are making yourself upset and that is not good for the baby." Hodgins said. They said goodbye to the rest of the team and excused themselves.

"Hodgins, since we are staying at the hotel, Paul and I will stay until everyone leaves. So why don't you take Angela to bed. Cam said.

"Thanks Cam" Jack said then led his wife to the master bedroom on the second floor of the penthouse.

"Booth is never going to forgive me. I mean, think about, I invite his ex-girlfriend to our party. He's trying to recover from their affair and Boom there she is at his friend's party. Talk about Awkward! Very awkward! Ohh, poor Booth, what did I do!" Angela continued her self induced flogging.

Hodgins just chewed the inside of his mouth to keep from spilling the beans about Booth and Brennan. Booth could shoot him dead. He saw the man in action, granted it was with a melon and an old replica rifle, but just last week they found bits of that melon under the platform.

Angela worked herself up into a frenzy and started to cry. These pregnancy hormones have been a bit off kilter lately and Angela cried at the drop of a hat. He had to calm her down. Jack was not much of a religious man but he sent a little prayer for the Good Lord to keep him alive to see the birth of his first born.

"Ange, if I tell you something you have to keep it quiet! It is a matter of life or death, specifically, MY life and MY death."

"Jack, what are you talking about?" Angela said while wiping her eyes.

"Okay, here it goes, did you actually meet Brennan's date?"

"Of course I did!"

"Did you speak to him? Like more than just hello?" Jack asked in a roundabout way to get to his point.

Angela started to say yes, but couldn't. She shook her head, "Actually, no. Brennan came to dance before I got to ask him his name." Angela said slowly.

"By any chance do you remember what her date wore?"

"Jack, what kind of question is that? He wore a black tuxedo jacket and white button up shirt" Angela looked at her husband as if he grew another head.

Jack sighed and thought, 'She is gonna make him tell her, this pregnancy brain the books are talking about… they were dead on!'

"Honey, what was Booth wearing when you saw him?"

"He was across the room but didn't have his mask on, but he was wearing a black suit jacket.. and…" Angela trailed off.

Her eyes went wide, "No… NO!" She broke out into the biggest grin and started to laugh. "Bren has some explaining to!"

"Bingo, Baby!"
