"You see that one?" She pointed to the sky, drawing the blanket up around them.
"Yeah, Bones, it's the Big Dipper."
"It's part of Ursa Major, which means 'the Great Bear' in Latin."
"I'm going to make an intuitive leap and guess that Ursa Minor means 'Little Bear' in Latin." He reclined against the soft grass behind them, pulling her along so that they were lying next to each other - shoulder to shoulder, hip to hip - staring up into the sky.
"That's correct. Mizar," she pointed again, "is actually a double star."
"Double star?!"
"A pair of stars that appear-"
"Ok, ya know what, Bones? Shhh."
"But double stars are fascinating. Either the pair forms a binary-"
"Bones...."
"Fine." She relaxed against him and took a deep breath, the cool September air filling her lungs. His arm wrapped around her waist and she sighed. It was moments like these - sneaking into a closed public park to share a blanket with him - that continued to catch her by surprise, made her heart beat faster.
She tore her gaze away from the sky and turned in his arms. Even in the darkness his soft smile and warm eyes spread heat through her.
She began trailing kisses across his jaw, sliding her hand under the waistband of his pants, laughing as he let out a strangled cry.
"Jesus, Bones.... public place...."
"Park's closed and..." she stroked him, smiling as he hardened at her touch, "it's dark out."
"You're gonna be the death of me, know that?" He rolled so that he was hovering over her, hands making quick work of her top. The rest of their clothes quickly followed, flying out from under the blanket as he covered her mouth with his.
He cupped her face, tongue teasing hers, and slid into her warmth. She gasped beneath him, hands gripping his shoulders, urging him to her.
He began moving slowly, their legs tangling as he left and returned to her. She rose to meet him, hips colliding, as he covered her - neck, shoulders, breasts, that spot near her wrist that left her breathless - in kisses.
"Oh, Booth." Her head fell back, eyes closing, as his tongue traced circles across her skin.
"Mmmm." He thrust into her deeper, blanket falling off his back allowing the cool air to wash over them. It only increased the heat and he began to move faster, friction building.
Her legs hooked around his waist as she clawed at his back, wanting him. Needing him. She felt herself slipping, her breath quickening, pulse pounding, as their rhythm became increasingly erratic and she fell, screaming his name as wave after wave of pleasure washed over her.
He took a shuddering breath, returned to her again, and came, murmuring her name against her neck.
"Wow, Bones, that was..." He collapsed on the ground next to her, arm pulling her close. "Now what did I do to deserve that?"
"You," her eyes traveled across the night sky before she turned, lips sweeping over his, and met his eyes, "You made me see."
