With pairing the devices exchange security information (aka keys) only temporary for the current connection. When they disconnect and then reconnet, they need pairing a second time and so on. With bonding, the devices save permanently security information so that for each disconnection, they don't need to execute this exchange thanks to the saved information (exchanged before during bonding).
