"Are you sure about this?"

Brennan shrugged and raised an eyebrow. "Turnabout is fair play."

---

Booth bound her wrists and ankles to her bedposts with the silk scarves she bought on her last trip to Italy, leaving her exposed to his hands, mouth, and whims. Frowning, she gave an experimental tug and found that she was indeed at his mercy. The discovery sent shivers racing over her skin.

"Ranger knots." He smiled slowly, eyes glinting. "They'll hold."

---

"I'll give you what you want," he said, and she gasped, arching as he skimmed one long finger over her before raising it, glistening, to his lips, "but you have to ask for it."

She wasn't used to asking for what she wanted. Usually she simply took it. But now she could have nothing but what he would give her.

Her stomach fluttered as she watched him suck his finger into his mouth. The scent of her arousal blanketed the air; if she could smell it, so could he. Swallowing hard, she shook her head, trying to ignore her body's demand for release.

"Let's see if I can't change your mind about that." He brushed his stubbled cheek over her nipple and then flicked it with his tongue, pulling away and laughing as she gave an involuntary moan. Anger made her narrow her eyes, but when Booth pulled back, she saw the perspiration beaded on his forehead.

"Who's in control here?" she asked, and his gaze swung back to meet hers.

"I don't know," he replied, flattening his hand against her stomach.

"Me either." She exhaled. "Please."

He inhaled sharply. "Please what?"

"So you want me to beg?"

"Would that be so bad?" His hand lifted from her stomach, hovering.

She let her gaze drift over his body. "No. Please fuck me, Booth."

Author Note: I know I'm only three prompts into this challenge, but I'm already questioning my ability to keep these to 300 words and have them be decent. Sex needs context, and I don't know that I can provide enough in 300 words to communicate what I want to communicate. I'm going to mull this over a bit more, but I think I might have to drop the challenge and just write somewhat longer fics using the prompts. We'll see!

Also, I want to finish and post Unwell as soon as possible, so if I'm quiet over the next couple days, that's why. Hope you all have a great weekend. :)

I have to applaud you on choosing this prompt table. I can't imagine writing decent sex in 300 words. Wow. But, I must say, you're doing a fantabulous job so far!!! *hugs* I'm definitely waiting in anticipation for your next one ;)

I love the idea of Booth tying Brennan up. Oh yeah. It's definitely a change from Brennan being the aggressor. I love the way you keep Brennan defiant almost to the end.


*whispers* btw, I just posted my first fic for drabble123 ;)

I love this, because it means that they both are. And that is sexier than anything.

"Ranger knots."

Oh. Lorda mercy. I've got your Ranger knots right here, Booth.

*sigh*

I definitely can't write a sex scene in 300 words.

"Who's in control here?" she asked, and his gaze swung back to meet hers.

"I don't know," he replied, flattening his hand against her stomach.

I love that. It's also hot!

Hot.

You give these drabble/ficlets so much meaning in so few words. Don't doubt the impact of that. You actually inspired me to write a series of ficlets of my own I'll be posting soon.

I love the push-pull of this situation. He tells her he's in charge but allows her to find her comfort level so that when she submits its of her own will.

Sex needs context, and I don't know that I can provide enough in 300 words to communicate what I want to communicate.

You're kidding, right? [mops forehead.]

Is it hot in here, or was it that fic? ;-)

[pipergirl07.livejournal.com]

I agree with you that a good sex scene (even a blurb) needs a bit more flesh on its bones (oh, no pun intended!) What leads to the act itself is often the most enticing part of the story...

Hope you've had a nice weekend!

Duh! *smacks forehead*

Also wanted to say that this was a smokin' drabble :)

[sarabones.livejournal.com]

Great!! *.*

It's awesome to know that they don't know who's in control :D Completely in character :D

Oh Good Gawd Almighty! Jeez. You may have your doubts, but I don't doubt that you managed to pack a helluva punch into very few words. Leaves the reader's imagination free to wander in all sorts of wonderful directions. And wandering it is...the mental pictures...WOW!
I mean, she says, "Turnabout is fair play," which immediately sends the mind in another delicious direction, then you pull us abruptly back, only to send the mind flying off again.
I certainly won't object to longer fics, but these little ones are wonderful so far.

They both have control or lack of thereof ;) loved it :)

The scent of her arousal blanketed the air; if she could smell it, so could he.
That's a potent statement. OMG. I just realized how punny that is. *blush*
"Who's in control here?" she asked
Just like her to try to regain control of the situation. Actually, like any Aspie. We don't like to be in any situation that isn't in our control. It's very scary for us.

You said, "I'm already questioning my ability to keep these to 300 words and have them be decent." I know exactly what you mean. I've got to admire you for even getting one done! I have trouble even getting a 500-word drabble done. It's so hard to get any storytelling done when limited to so few words. I have no idea how people do the 100-word ones!

i can't ever imagine writing a sex scene with 300 words...so you definitely were doing great on this prompt..
