Brennan sighed as she looked around the kitchen. The Hodgins family had come for lasagne. They'd stayed late, laughing and talking as the kids played. After they left, Booth got the kids ready for bed while she started on the kitchen. Booth had cooked, so it seemed every dish and utensil they owned was dirty...too many for the dishwasher. She was running water into the sink when she was ambushed.

"I'm busy, Booth", she said primly. "What do you want?"

"Hmmm"...he rubbed her shoulders and kissed her neck…"you. I want my wife...right now…."

"I need to do dishes first. I hate leaving dirty dishes in the sink. It causes bacterial growth."

"I don't care about bacteria, Bones…that's not what I'm thinking about right now…"

She felt his hot breath as he nibbled her ear. Her body was beginning to respond to his touch.

She pretended to be annoyed as she turned to face him. She loved this game, especially the way it usually ended. "I have to get the dishes washed or the cheese and tomato sauce will stick to them, and I'll have to scour them. Do you want me to have rough hands?"

"Sometimes I like things rough", he growled. He pulled her close. "The dishes can wait. I'm not sure I can…." His kisses grew more intense as he unbuttoned her blouse. "Tomorrow's Sunday...we'll have all day to wash dishes…."

"Maybe we should turn off the water first…" she said breathlessly, as he caressed her body, "or we'll have to mop…"

"Yeah", he mumbled, as he unzipped her jeans. "Let's do that…" He slapped at the faucet. "C'mere." He pushed the dishes out of the way and sat her on the kitchen counter. "I think maybe I'm still hungry…."

She decided the dishes could wait until Sunday...
