A/N: This story is dedicated to lolyncut. It is inspired from a review she was kind enough to post to one of my fics. I intended it to be a nice, simple one-shot, but it think it's going to be 2 or 3 chapters instead. I hope everyone enjoys it.

The BAU Jet

2007

The case was over, and everyone was unwinding. Morgan and Reid were playing gin, when Emily walked by. She dropped her book on the table in front of Morgan.

"Whoops. Sorry" she said with a smile on her face. It was a Kurt Vonnegut book.

Morgan smiled back at her. "No you didn't. Where did you find this?"

"Back at the airport. Can you believe it?"

"That's great. Chapter 3 is when it starts to get good."

"All right. I'll let you know." She picked the book up, still smiling, and sat down.

Reid looked at Emily, now reading her book, then he looked at Morgan with a knowing smile on his face.

"What?" Morgan said," you think you're the only one who reads?"

"You never want to talk to me about books," Reid winked.

"What are you trying to say?"

"Well, the two of you have been sitting next to each other at the round table and I've noticed she's been hanging out at your desk a lot lately. And if I notice it, then it must be pretty obvious." Then Reid took a card off the pile.

"You know," Morgan said," normally I'd say you have a real good point there. But she's not the kind of girl who's interested in Derek Morgan."

"What kind of girl isn't interested in Derek Morgan?" said Reid, seemingly surprised such a female could exist.

"One who's too smart to think she can change my ways. Everyone knows I'm not ready to get serious."

"Maybe you're more ready than you know."

"Are you really going to school me on girls?"

Well," Reid said with a conspiratorial smile,"my mother said some girls, the right kind of girls, can tell when you're ready to change and come to you. But it's only when you're ready."

Morgan shook his head. He grabbed a card off the pile. "Are you telling me I'm off my game, Dr. Reid?"

"No, I'm trying to distract you so you don't take this card." Reid grabbed a the card lying face up on the discard pile. Then he laid his hand down and said,"gin."

"You sneaky SOB." Morgan said.

"I keep telling you people, never play cards with a magician."

"What do you mean, you people?"

Both Reid and Morgan laughed.

What neither Derek Morgan nor Spencer Reid realized was that Behind her book, Emily Prentiss was watching them intently. Particularly Dr. Reid.

How was it she never noticed him before?

Why did she notice him now?

It was the wink. The wink awakened something in her, a mixture of attraction and lust.

She knew it was a bad idea. Sleeping with co-workers was like jumping of an airplane with no parachute, and she knew that.

She stole one more look at Reid. It just so happened that he had a self-satisfied smug look on his face. On some men, that look would infuriate her or irritate her, but on Dr. Reid it had the opposite effect. Emily couldn't decide if it was merely adorable or if it was sexy.

Sexy. Definitely sexy.

Sometime later, after they landed and made their way to the BAU offices, Emily went over in her mind what she should do about Dr. Reid. She honestly hadn't made up her mind until she was leaving for the night. By chance, she and Reid were leaving at the exact same time. Emily looked and realized they were alone.

"That was an interesting game," she said.

"Game?" Reid was puzzled.

"On the plane. You and Morgan."

"Oh. I guess."

"As to your question"

"What question?"

"What woman doesn't want Derek Morgan?"

"I thought you were reading."

"Garcia isn't the only one who can multitask."

"Anyway, I was just trying to distract Morgan."

"I see."

Reid's thumb started twitching against his forefinger nervously. There was only one way to stop it. So he asked,"you had an answer to the question."

"Yes."

"so?"

"So ask me the question."

Reid hesitated, then he asked. "What kind of a woman doesn't want Derek Morgan?"

"Me."

"All evidence to the contrary."

"Because we flirt? That's a little different. Just because a woman flirts with a guy doesn't mean she wants him."

For some reason, a memory flashed in Reid's head. Harper Hillman. He tried to make it go away.

Emily was hoping Reid would take her bait, but she realized he wasn't about to. She was going to have to be a little more obvious.

"You, on the other," she said in a sultry voice," are a little more enticing."

"Me?" In his minds eye he saw not just Harper Hillman but Alexa Lisbon as well.

"Absolutely."

"I don't think you really want that."

"Why not?"

"I'm not...really all that experienced...you know with..."

Emily smiled. "That really doesn't bother me."

"I'm just saying that I ... I don't think you would find it...satisfying. I mean ..."

Emily kissed him lightly on the lips. "Don't sell yourself short, Dr. Reid."

Reid's mouth opened a couple of times and he tried to talk, but no words came out. Instead, he kissed her.

His meant to just lightly kiss her, like she kissed him. But when his lips touched hers, he found he didn't want to stop. By the way she pulled him towards her, she was fine with that. When the kiss was over he said,"I ...I'm sorry."

"Why? That was wonderful."

"I mean...I ..."

"Look, if you don't want to, I understand. But, based on that kiss, I will be more than satisfied."

In his mind, he could hear Harper Hillman tell him Alexa wanted to see him. That was usually a warning for him. He should listen. But Emily's eyes looked so inviting.

"Ok."

"Okay what?"

Reid answered by kissing her again.
