I'm going to wrap this up folks... it's taken way too long and I don't like to leave a story unfinished.

Please note the rating change... I couldn't get it out any other way - probably why it's taken so long to complete. Once again, please let me know your thoughts...

Bride in arms, the groom stalked through the threshold of their suite and placed his lover gently but surely upon what was to be their bed for the next week. Crawling over-top her, shucking his jacket and tie on the way, he kissed her soulfully - bringing the embers of their innocent kisses to a raging flame of love, desire and pant-splitting lust.

Frantically, kicking their shoes off, the couple tore and ripped at each others clothing until there was nothing left but raw love, a floor bouncing with buttons and, surprisingly, an un-torn set of silky lace topped thigh-high stockings… in-situ.

In a merging of almost five years' worth of love, lust, fantasy and friendship, the lovers coupled with aahhh's, sighs and breathy promises of 30, 40 and 50 years… promises of love, devotion and… more… so very much more than just coffee.

Reaching crescendo, their earnest, teary eyes locked as they crested the edge together… humming, chanting, crying their lover's name in reverential adoration… effectively ending the night with a bang (or began the morning with a bang – depending on which way you looked at it).

As their breaths evened and their heartbeats slowed, Brennan snuggled closer to her husband, "I… wow… thank you Booth. You just… phew!"

He chuckled roughly, "You're most welcome baby. I hope to repeat the favor real soon."

She laughed huskily at an internal joke, "Ha, you are most definitely NOT gay. That is a certainty… I'll be sure to provide substantial evidence when I see my father… oh!"

He rolled atop of her laughing naughtily, pressing himself into her with renewed hardness, he paused with sincerity, "I just want you to know something Temperance… in case you ever forget what you do to me, what you mean to me; I want you to remember this moment…" he cupped her face tenderly as his thumb glossed her cheek, "I love you baby… please don't ever forget it."

And with that, he pushed into her a second time, groaning at the pleasure… filling her to the hilt with undeniable ease… How had they not explored this facet of their relationship before?!

He set a solid rhythm; their second round less frantic, more sincere… teasing, scratching, licking, nibbling… truly savoring the gift that they were blessed to enjoy this night… as their pleasure blossomed and exploded simultaneously the emotion of the moment left them both gasping through wet eyed wonder.

"Booth! Oh my God, I…" catching her labored breath she tried again, " Oh God, you just… you just blew my metaphorical existence away... actually, you metaphorically blew away my existence… or something… I don't know really…" she blew out a labored breath through a tight lipped huff, "I have no words."

He chuckled with a charm laden grin, "Oh, likewise baby, likewise."

She squeezed his hips between her thighs, "I am your Bones, Booth, not your Baby."

He smiled as his eyes leaked a little, warm salt water landing with a splosh on her cheek, "Yes… you are my Bones."

He dropped his shuddering form to hers with a hug (careful not to smother her) "I love you Bones… thank you for loving me too."

She brushed a dried up tear from his cheek and winked wickedly, "I wouldn't have it any other way Baby…" and rolling him over for round three, she purred, "I wouldn't have it any. other. way!"

Sorry it's short but I am so satisfied to label this fic as...
