Chapter 1

The Heck With It

Time Frame: Before Bones and Booth first case and formal meeting

Why: Conference for Crime Scene Preservation Presenter – Dr. Temperance Brennan

Where: Hotel Bar

Booth's POV

He was sitting at the bar after the conference thinking he really should go home. After all he only lived a few miles away, but it was a Saturday night and as his Saturday had already been ruined by this conference lecture he had been required to attend, so he might as well stay and check out who might show up. There had been some really hot babes at this conference maybe he could hook up with one for a little diversion for the evening. He was always looking for a little diversion when he didn't have his son for the week-end and this was one of those week-ends.

Brennan's POV

She was glad the lecture was over. She liked her subject matter she just didn't like it when the audience included people who were required to attend. They tended to let their minds wander and therefore the information she imparted was lost on them. After taking all her lecture material up to her room she decided to go down to the hotel bar. She was new in town, having just moved here and had little idea of where else to go. Her new job was to start next Monday and she was going to stay with her best friend Angela, but Angela was out of town this week-end so she had elected to stay at the hotel where she was. On her way down to the bar she thought about her new job, Head of the Forensic Anthropology Department at the Jeffersonian. She had worked very hard for this position and knew she deserved it. It would allow her to do ground breaking work with state of the art equipment while still going out on digs as the availability arose. It was going to be very stimulating. However, right now all she wanted was a good drink and dinner.

Booth's POV

The minute she walked into the bar he saw her. She had a presence you could feel. Her auburn hair and blue eyes were striking. Had he seen her before? Try as he might he couldn't remember. Oh well he would buy her a drink and see where it led. "Hi, it's Saturday night and you are really too pretty to be sitting here all alone…"

Brennan's POV

As her eyes adjusted to the dim light in the bar she took a sit at a table in the darkness. Looking around for a waitress she noticed one man looking at her. He was extremely well formed suggesting he would be an excellent sexual partner if she had been so inclined, but perhaps she might wait until she got the lay of the land, seen more of the dating scene as it were before she had a sexual liaison with anyone. As he got closer she could see her initial evaluation of him was far short of the close physical view she was now getting. His cheesy line about sitting here alone could not go unchallenged so she replied with "does that line ever get you anywhere?"

"No not really and I'm sure you will not believe me but I've never used it before. I just thought it might get your attention just because of how crappy it was."

"Oh, I noticed," Brennan said. Taking a chance and having nothing better to do she decided to see how far this might go. 'You can buy me a white wine if you've got an interest to."

"Oh I so have an interest. Have you had dinner? I haven't and I'm starving. I know of a nice Chinese restaurant not far from here if you're up for it."

"Sure, I love Chinese; can I have my wine first?"

They finished their drinks and headed out for dinner. At the restaurant the conversation was polite but unrevealing, neither reveled much other than their first names. She found out his was Seeley and he found out her's was Temperance, both commented on the uniqueness of their names. He convinced her to go to a club and they went to a club with hot music and cold drinks.

Booth's POV

He didn't really notice anything was changing until he noticed she was drinking her third Long Island Ice Tea. He had head they were particularly vicious and could sneak up on you very quickly. It did. He had been trying to get her to dance for closed to half an hour when suddenly she agreed to. Yep, too much alcohol. He finally got her to dance; after a few drink she has become very uninhibited. She was a very hands on lady, and oh where she was putting those hands was very dangerous for her and for him. He needed to be very careful here. He would like to take her home, but not if she was too drunk. There is no way he was taking advantage of woman who had too much to drink, and he did want to take her to bed very very badly. Maybe a little fresh air would help and no more alcohol.

Brennan's POV

I think I had better not have any more of these drinks. Seeley seems to be the kind of man who does not enjoy having a drunk woman on his arm, and I don't enjoy being drunk either. Perhaps a little fresh air will do me good.

Booth's POV

Good she wanted the air too; I thought she might feel better out here. The winter air is crisp and clear but kinda cold. She is starting to shiver maybe she would let me hold her to keep her warm? She smells so great like cinnamon and fresh air."

Brennan's POV

I love the cold air but it is really cold and caused an instant sobering effect. I wonder if he will wrap his arms around me to help keep away the cold. I wonder what it would feel like to be wrapped in those arms. I wonder what it would take to get him to take me home to his bed. Do I want to have sex with him? Oh the heck with it I'm just going to kiss him and see what happens.

Booth's POV

Wow that woman is some kisser. Talk about an instant hard on! I may never be able to walk without embarrassing myself again. I wonder if should try and convince her to come my apartment? Oh the heck with it why not, it's been a long time since I've had sex and a man has needs right?

Brennan's POV

Wow, that was the most incredible night of sex I have ever had. I hope he wasn't too hurt that I left a note saying thank you and slipped out in the early morning taking a cab back to the hotel. I don't like to sleep with sexual partners; it's too personal and makes things too messy. But the sex with him was certainly unforgettable.

Monday Morning One Week Later

Dr. Brennan was entering Dr. Goodman's office and noticed someone sitting in the chair facing him.

"Oh, I'm sorry I wasn't aware you had someone in you office. I thought you asked for me to come and see you immediately and your secretary told me to come right in."

Dr. Goodman rose and indicating to Dr. Brennan she should come around the chair to be introduced to the guest in his office.

Facing each other they were in complete shock. There they were Temperance and Seeley Dr. Temperance Brennan Forensic Anthropologist new consultant to the FBI and Special Agent Seeley Booth assigned as FBI liaison to the Jeffersonian.

Looking from one face to the other Dr. Goodman asked "do you know one another?"

Yes they did, now how would they ever work together?

It would take them five years to get back to that night. Only this time they would be making love and they had learned a lot about each other. The sex was even more incredible than the first time and this time they woke up in each other's arms, it wasn't messy after all.

So tell me what did you think? We always have these what if thought about them these were my "what the heck" thoughts.
