Yelping in surprise, Jane wiggled at the pinch, laughing as her legs tensed around Bones and her hold tightened on him briefly. He wouldn't let her go, and she knew that, but as he stepped further and deeper into the water so she kept herself closer to him, momentarily distracted from the feeling of having him this close by the cold water raising up her legs and to her thighs.

"Mmhm," she said in way of answer, lips curving into a pleased and knowing smile at the way he gasped. She let her mouth linger where it was, right against the shell of his ear. "Then I'll be nice and save you the embarrassment of saying them all out loud myself."

The temptation was there, to be honest. But if she teased the doctor too much she had a feeling they'd end up screwing right there on the beach and she was not a huge fan of getting sand in all kinds of strange places.

"Into the water! Come on, Bones, these waters are more peaceful than the Pacific's. And I hear there are glowing fish nearby at this time of night. Supposed to be really pretty."

"You can list that off later when I have a bed I can pin you to." He said it offhandedly, but there was a hint of seriousness to it as well. Because he was sure the moment he did get her into a bedroom, he likely couldn't and wouldn't keep his hands off of her. Unless she told him no... that would put a stop to it. Not that it would be easy with how her lips were lingering against his skin and setting his nerves on fire.

He was almost thankful that the water was cool enough to knock some of the heat off of his arousal. "Bossy." He snorted at her and moved further out into the water. "Promise you, I will complain for months if I get chewed on by anything in the water." But he still moved forward into the water.

Slipping his hands away from Jane's legs as they got deeper in the water, he knew he would need to be able to tread water as the waves lifted him up with each roll to the shore. After a moment, he smirked and dropped them both under the surface and popped back up with one hand slipping over her arms about his neck. "So where are your glow fish?"

She let out a huff at his words, a warmer sound now, feeling her own skin tingle despite the cold water slowly hiking farther up their bodies. "Gonna hold you to that," she whispered softly, blowing a warm puff of air against his ear, resisting the urge to lick along the shell of his ear. It was a little too cruel even coming from her, and she figured she could wait until they were somewhere a little more appropriate.

"You always complain for months about everything," she said in a lilting tone, grinning and wiggling just so as Bones moved them into deeper water. Her hold loosened as he lowered them both underneath the surface, one arm unwinding from around his neck so she could wipe the water off her face once they resurfaced.

Slowly she moved around Bones until she was facing him, arms settled loosely over his shoulders. Leaning in to kiss him softly, she nipped at his lips before pulling away completely, taking a few steps back along the bottom of the sea before turning around completely and diving head first, disappearing underneath the surface.

"Could shut me up if you wanted to." He offered teasingly as he shifted his arms to wrap around her waist when she shifted around him. He kept his other arm free to keep balance as he ran his eyes over her face slowly. She looked beautiful like that. Hair swept back with the water and the way her shirt stuck to her skin. It made the tips of his ears a little pink as he tried to rein in his thoughts about what he'd like to do to her.

Leaning in to kiss her in return, he lowered his lashes almost closing his eyes as he licked at her lips and made a soft sound as she nipped his own. When she pulled back, he let her go, hazel eyes following her movement even as she dove under the surface. Letting out a soft sigh, he tipped his head back to look up at the darkened sky. He preferred the stars from planet side, but he rather see their stars than the alien constellations overhead.

Sinking down under the water one more time, he resurfaced and swept his hair back causing it to spike at awkward angles. His ma would laugh at him if she could see him now. On an alien planet and with the one girl with a wild hare for adventure. She liked Jane a lot. She'd likely be damn thrilled to find out Leonard finally spoke up and did something about his 'mopin' as she called it.

More like Jane did something about it. Okay, 50/50. Not that she particularly cared about who made the first move anyway, what did matter to her was that they'd taken that step. If it was killing Bones as much as it was her to not do anything about this, then they had both been pretty miserable for a good while.

She didn't swim too far, staying underneath the surface as she circled back around and swam back to where she figured Bones was. It was dark, though, and she had to blindly pat around in the water until she felt the side of a leg, then she grabbed it and tugged hard, pulling Bones under the water just briefly.

She broke the surface along with him, snorting and laughing loudly even though she knew he'd probably panicked for a moment there. Maybe it was a little mean but... well, no harm done. And no weird alien creature bit him, so.

The first hit spooked him, his body turning in that direction in a rush of adrenaline. Frowning sharply, he looked down at the water that really only reflected the sky with its stars along with bubbles, he didn't have time to grumble or think about what it might be before he felt his balance completely thrown.

An indignant yelp left him before he fell into the water. Though, the stream of bubbles that left him under water likely was a very loud and obnoxious "god damn it!" that no one would hear. When he resurfaced pretty quickly, he knew the actual 'thing' grabbing his leg had been Jane. Not that it saved him that initial panic and shock.

"For the love of god, Jane! Are you trying to give me a heart attack!?" Without thinking once about it, he shoved a splash of water at her face and scowled. "You damn brat. You're gonna be the death of me."

She kept laughing even as Bones yelled at her, only stopping for a brief moment when he threw water in her face. Wiping it down with one hand, the other swatted a bit of water back at Bones, then she reached out to hold onto one of his shoulders, pulling closer to him.

"That was so... priceless," snorting, she giggled again. Evidently she wasn't the least bit apologetic about the whole thing. "You're such a wuss sometimes. I told you these waters are perfectly harmless. This is a resort planet, for crying out loud." Any animal even remotely dangerous was kept at a safe distance from the shore, so really there was no need for him to be panicking like that.

Arm snaking around his shoulders, one of her legs lifted up, folded knee brushing along his lower thigh. "Don't tell me you're gonna be mad at me over that."

He didn't fight when she pulled him closer. Instead, he lifted a brow at her attempting to give her an unimpressed look. Not that he really was mad at her. Where he didn't care for her makin' fun of his sensibilities, it didn't bother him all that much cause it was her. "Laugh it up, cause California beaches are considered resorts and sharks still attack people." Oh, he would point out the obvious to her, thank you very much.

In all honesty, he didn't look up the flora and fauna of the planet because he hadn't really planned on spending that much quality time with either. Swimming at the beach hadn't occurred to him. Not till she asked him to go with her. Sighing softly, he moved both hands to curl about her waist softly.

When her leg rose, he slipped that hand from her waist along the curve of her hip to skim the line of her thigh. "'Pends. What would you do to make up for it?"

"Nonsense. Besides there are no sharks here." And there were barely any sharks left on Earth too, so. Bones was just being overly dramatic here, but figured the doctor would be the kind to believe that sharks were even that much of a danger. Not that it'd stop Jane from enjoying a good swim even if they were.

Her foot grazed lightly along his calf, lips stretching into a playful smile, an elbow propped on his shoulder as she folded her arm enough to be able to run her fingers through his wet hair.

"I guess... anything you want me to," she purred softly against his lips, tipping her head so her lips ghosted across his teasingly. "You tell me how I can make it up to you."

"I'm quite certain all ecosystems have some sort of apex predator." He offered in return, stubbornly making his point as best he could. Not that he didn't know she made good points as well. He just refused to believe any safety precautions were one hundred percent fool proof. Not that he would let it ruin the moment right now.

Not when he felt a shiver crawl up his spine as her foot grazed his calf. Tipping his head into her fingers, he let his hand drift to cup under her thigh and knead the muscle softly. Leaning in closer, he kissed her lips just a soft sweet peck before pulling back just a bit.

"Anything? That's a broad interpretation, sweet heart." His other hand lifted up to cup her face gently, not breaching that gap this time and just reveling in the whisper of her lips on his. Humming a low sound, Leonard let his eyes lock on hers. "Honest to god, Jane, all I want is you."

"Yeah, yeah— you're doing that again. Over-worrying. Stop it," she poked his nose, leaning in to kiss him, slow and warm, the tip of her tongue teasing across his lips before she pulled away. "I am seriously wet and half-naked in the ocean with you. I'd think that would be enough for you to forget all about the evil creatures with pointy teeth."

That was part a flirt, part a tease at Bones's expense. But really, the doctor could be such a worrier sometimes. Granted, Jane could often get him to let it go, and she figured this would be a fairly easy situation in which to pull it off.

"Wish granted," she said in a light but warm and honest tone, smiling a little softer as the tip of her nose brushed across his cheek, then she planted a kiss on his jaw. Her lips were about to trail lower when a faint glow in the water next to them caught her attention.

"Oh— look!" She pulled away just enough to look at a couple of luminescent fish swimming up to them. They seemed friendly enough and not too afraid, so she reached a hand out towards them, the light illuminating her fingers. "My little friends are here."

Leaning into that kiss, he started to relax even more until she started to talk again. All those little details all the way to that double entendre about being wet to her being half naked, had him breathing in shakily. And maybe, they did enough to him that his eyes darkened and his pupils dilated slightly. Staring into her face, he closed his eyes finally and took a shaking breath. Damn him and his body. He'd just been forced to wait so damn long for this, it was jumpin' at the chance to finally have her.

Opening his eyes slowly again to blink at her quietly, he huffed a breath at her declaration of his wish being granted. "You're making it very hard for me to keep this entire moment kosher so to speak." Cause with each little touch and kiss he wanted to move her somewhere he could just have her.

Lucky for him, she got distracted by the fish slipping through the water around them. Tipping his head to watch them, he traced his eyes down Jane's arm into the water. He didn't stop her, but he did watch with a slightly wary eyes as his arms wrapped about her waist lightly. "They're beautiful." They were. He wasn't lying.

In the dark, they lit up the water like a colorful light show, painting shifting patterns of light and shadow over Jane's face when he looked back at her and smiled slowly. "But I mean... there are things far prettier here to look at."

She seemed to be all too pleased with herself at the reaction, lips curving into a knowing smile as her eyes lingered on his face. She said nothing, though, even if the urge to tease the doctor was almost impossible to resist. Instead she shifted closer, body pressed flush to his in a sort of wordless permission for Bones to do whatever he liked with her. Not like she was keeping things all that clean on her end anyway.

The fish drew some of her attention away, though, at least briefly, and for a while she seemed marvelled by how brightly they shone on the water, a few more showing up, their glow lighting up the water all around them. She wasn't wary or afraid, though. The natives spoke of the fish like some sort of tourist attraction, so Jane figured they weren't even the least bit dangerous.

Her gaze shifted back to Bones when he spoke again, eyebrows slightly raised, expression softening into a warm smile as she ducked her head a little. "You sweet talker, you." Not that she was all that surprised, but it was especially nice to be on the receiving end of Bones's ridiculously romantic ways.

His hands moved up her sides, fingers splaying out as he pulled her against him. He could think of a hundred or more things he'd love to be doing to her right now... but he settled for just letting his eyes wander and his hands to trace out lines of her body he couldn't see through the distortion of the water.

Leonard smoothed his hands down to cup her ass and press her against him as he idly wondered liked being that close to him like he liked being close to her. Unlike her, his 'eagerness' was obvious as his arousal press against her. Something he tried to ignore as his eyes trailed after one of the fish and her hands as she reached for them.

"Oh? You thought I mean you. I meant the water. Looks mighty pretty with all the lights goin' off under the surface." He sent her the most smug grin he could muster as he sent her a wink. But he did mean her. Damn it all if he didn't mean her. Chuckling softly, he leaned in and nipped at her ear. "They got nothin' on you."

Oh, it was easy to tell how how eager he was, especially as she moved closer to him, feeling his arousal pressed up against her. Something that made her skin tingle from head to toe, goosebumps flaring up. Of course she liked having Bones this close; she liked the thought of getting him closer to her even more, enough that she had to slow her breath a little just so it wouldn't hitch or crawl up her throat in a gasp.

She did gasp, but it was a sound of feigned offense at his words instead, and she swatted a few drops of water at his face. "You ass!" She snorted right after, though, shaking her head as she wrapped both arms around his neck again, her smile softer at his next words.

"You're a damn gooey romantic, Leonard McCoy," she teased a little, her other leg floating up and curling loosely around Bones's waist. Though not her intent at first, the shifting of her body had her hips rocking very faintly against his bulge, drawing a soft gasp from her. "I think... you should get me out of here."

Breaking out into a low chuckle, he sent her an amused look that lit up hazel eyes. "You didn't expect me to make it that easy on ya, did you?" Leaning in closer, he touched their noses softly then snorted at that comment about his being a romantic. "Only for the right person. Romance is wasted if it's not the right person." And where he had always a tendency to let some of his sappier comments slip with her, he rarely let it slip with anyone else.

Unless he accidentally slipped while he talked about her to someone else.

Dropping both hands to her hips, he slipped them down the length of her thighs and suddenly tightened his grip as she shifted and rocked against him. Drawing in a sharp breath, he closed his eyes and dropped his head on her shoulder. It took a conscious effort to ease his hold on her thighs as he came down off that shock of sensation. "Damn it, Jane... Tryin' to make me crazy?"

Forcing his breathing to even out, he leaned back to catch Jane's eyes quietly. Finally he tipped his head to bite lightly at her lower lip. "Is that a request to go back to one of our rooms, darlin'? Or is there somethin' else you have in mind?"

She hummed amusedly at his answer, though her gaze and smile were both warm as she watched him. "I'm inclined to agree." Not that Jane had ever been much of a romantic person, but... yeah, Bones was right. Felt like a waste when it wasn't the right person, and she was surer of that because, if nothing else, it had always felt a little like a waste to her until just now.

Smile stretched to a grin as she chuckled, though a little breathlessly, her arms unwinding from around his neck and her hands sliding down to his shoulders, holding on there. "Sorry," she said while at least having the decency to look mildly apologetic. "For what it's worth I'm driving myself crazy too."

But she was never one for wasting time (or a good opportunity), so she let her legs drop from Bones's sides, feet touching the sand as she reached for one of his hands and tugged him along. "Well, I was thinking of one of our rooms," she shrugged, raising an eyebrow at him as they slowly trudged along the sea and towards the beach again. "You're the one who seems full of ideas."

Snorting just a little, he knew damn well that Jane wasn't sorry. But it did console him that Jane felt as crazy for touch as he was. Both hands moved to catch her waist before he leaned in and kissed her again softly before she could get away from him. Not that he held on long, cause he liked the idea of her getting them out of the water to get back to a room.

"Your sarcasm isn't attractive." Lie that it was. He loved snarking and throwing sarcasm back and forth with her. It was as easy as breathing. But he didn't say anything. "Probably mine. Scotty told me you didn't intend to stay planetside all that long." Jane and Scotty both were too damn attached to that ship.

Shaking his head, he moved with her through the water and ran his hands through his wet hair. "But a room definitely. Cause I am not getting sand all over and in bad places. Though, I did pick the room with the really nice bathtub.. cause unlike you, I planned to enjoy time away from space."

"Liar," she threw over her shoulder with a chuckle, slowly making her way through the small waves as they stepped out of the water. She knew Bones enjoyed snark and sarcasm more than anyone else she knew, and that he liked the whole back and forth they sometimes had while talking to each other.

"No, but I still got a room." Honestly, there was to much work to be done, and she hadn't had anything or anyone to keep her here for the duration of their stay. Not until now, anyway. She hadn't expected for things with Bones to turn out this way, but now they had, she wasn't about to waste that opportunity.

She let go of his hand once they were out of the water, making her way to where their clothes were and putting on her shorts, just in case they crossed paths with anyone. She was in her panties, after all. "Mm, a really nice bathtub does sound very tempting right now," she turned to him while shrugging on her shirt, though not unbuttoning it. Eyes rolling, she shook her head. "Oh, shut it. I'm enjoying it now, aren't I?"

Smiling to himself, he didn’t argue that. They both knew he thrived on their back and forth. He liked that she could fit perfectly in his mind as a lady, but also get so completely into his life he didn’t feel like he had to treat her like anyone but herself. Manners were something he liked and approved of, but he knew he tended to treat women differently simply by upbringing. Jane ended up being likely the only woman in his life he treated like a lady but also like his best friend. A combination that should be hard, but somehow felt as comfortable as breathing for him.

“Gotta keep up those appearances.” He replied dryly at her assertion of getting a room. “Cause you knew I’d throw a fit if you didn’t get at least one day of rest.” And he would have. He’d have hidden every single one of her reports and kidnapped her if she’d fought him too hard on it. Well, better than threatening her with the CMO card, cause he could. He just preferred they figure it out by other means. Even if those other means looked insanely drastic to everyone else. To him, drastic was giving her an order. He hated doing that.

Once out of the water, he picked up his clothes and put his pants on. He decided there was no point of putting on shoes with the sand and he was wet anyway, so the shirt really was pointless. Pants were more for decency. Shifting the shirt and shoes to one hand, he pinched her side playfully. “Oh, I plan to make sure you do more than enjoy it ‘right now’.”

Smirking, he winked at her before moving off just a few steps and turning to offer his hand to her. His eyes only stayed on her face a second before gliding down her body slowly. “Sweet heart… I would like nothin’ better than to get you in that bathtub with me. And I mean that in the least gentlemanly way.”

Jane laughed at that, nudging his side a little. "I know you'd make my life hell until I caved and took a break, at least. You're very good at being insufferable, at times." Not that she could talk. She could be impossibly stubborn at times, and it was never pretty when she and Bones went toe to toe on something. They had a way of digging their heels and refusing to budge when it came to something they had their mind set on.

Not that it'd be the case now. She hadn't had much reason to stay down at the resort for the whole time they were there before, but now she had a very good incentive. She definitely intended to enjoy every single second she could with Bones now. Work could wait.

She hummed at the promise of sorts, wiggling a little when he pinched her side, grabbing Bones by his shoulders and pressing herself close to him so she could kiss him. "Then I hope you plan to make sure I enjoy it for a very... very long time."

Lips parted, she breathed warmly against his, then nipped at his lower lip before she pulled away— not before giving his ass a firm squeeze, then taking hold of his hand. "Better get me to your room, Bones, or I swear I'll climb you like a tree no matter where we are."

"If I didn't fight the good fight, no one would. And I refuse to let that go." He pointed that out with a bit of pride. He liked being one of very few that could get Jane to do anything. Not that he was nearly as good at convincing her to do things as she was of convincing him... He knew damn well he'd been whipped for years.

Which might be part of why he leaned down with that pull on his shoulder so easily. Melting into her kiss, he knew that well... kissing her was just the main part. Shivering from head to foot, he sighed against her lips. "Darlin'... if I had my way I'd be findin' ways to make sure you enjoy every moment for the rest of your life. But I don't want to make assumptions that you'd want me around that long."

It was said in a thickly drawled and lilting tone. Soft and sweet as he pressed his lips against the curve of her neck just before he pulled away. He could still taste her on his lips and tongue as he hummed a pleased sound. "Can't say I've ever been told I was gonna be climbed like a tree. How does that work exactly?" Smirking lightly, he pulled Jane back in the direction of the hotel. Lacing their fingers together, he made no delay in leading them both.

Her arms curled a little tighter around Bones's neck at his words, eyes closing for a moment as she let the feeling he was conveying sink in and wash over her. Jane couldn't really say for sure what she wanted as far as long-term went, but she did know she wanted something long-term. Hell, even long before she started crushing on Bones she'd always known she'd want him to be a part of her life for however long they both lived.

So it only made sense to her that it applied in this case, too. She wasn't really sure what that meant for Bones— if he was even the kind to want to marry again, or if he'd been disillusioned by his first try not having gone all that well. Either way, she figured that wasn't something they'd have to think about right now. It'd hold, and Jane for one was fine with... well, anything, really.

"Oh, you know... like the spider monkey I am," she pointed out teasingly, though at least this time around she didn't actually jump on him like before. That would delay their trip back to his room, after all, and she couldn't have that.

Turning his head a little to look at her, he wondered at her silence on that. He knew she'd never really done much on the scale of long term. Not aside from their friendship and now other members of the crew... but he kind of hoped she would or even could see them working as something serious. Regardless of being burned in the past, Leonard still preferred the path of just one person.

And well, that one person had been Jane for longer than he wanted to admit. Well, no matter if she answered or not, he ignored that twinge of worry and maybe a touch of disappointment and turned his thoughts back to the thread of thought she did keep going.

"You are a damn spider monkey. Tiny and compact and surprisingly acrobatic when necessary." Rolling his eyes, he tipped his head. "C'mon princess..." Teasing softly, he curled an arm about her waist and started to guide her back again. "Unless you expect me to carry you all the way back?"

It wasn't that she was avoiding the topic, not by any means. It just felt like the kind of conversation that could wait a little longer. Besides, she figured Bones would know she'd never make a move if she didn't want something serious. She knew how Bones was when it came to this, and he in turn should know she'd never hurt him by getting involved for just a bit of fun.

It was much, much more than that. It wasn't like she was expecting for it to happen like this, though, so sudden and quick, but she certainly wasn't about to complain, either.

"Oh, you have no idea how surprisingly acrobatic," she murmured in a lilting tone, biting at her lower lip as she picked up her pace a little, keeping herself close to him as he wrapped his arm around her waist. "No, I can walk. Why? Not moving fast enough for you?"
