I Didn't Mean for it to Happen

I didn't for it happen….

But it did.

I wasn't expecting my emotions to be so strong, so overwhelming. I've always been in control of my emotions, even on the worst of our cases. But now, as his lips and my lips interlocked, his elegant fingers danced with tender touches, and my heart beat rapidly against his own, I was beginning to feel panicked. His lips weren't parting with mine, even after minutes of kissing, and he seemed to want to push on further. I wasn't ready for that, though, and if I had any doubt that I wasn't going to panic, when he pushed me onto my bed and straggled me down underneath him, I was sure I was.

I whimpered as his hands reached for my hips, and I had to use all my strength not to push him off the bed right then and there. He brushed my hair back and told me to relax- to enjoy it. I shook my head though, and apparently I looked as panicked as I felt, because he frowned and pulled back.

"What is it?" he asked me.

"Please…. don't." I begged. Even to my own ears I sounded pathetic, and I inwardly scolded myself for that.

"Of course." Hotch nodded, automatically pulling away from me. "I'm sorry; I just have no self control around you… But I'm working on that- I promise." I just nodded, knowing that we both had things to work on.

So instead of making love and sharing each other's emotions and passions, we cuddled on my bed and watched meaningless television until we both became to exhausted to open our eyes.

His lips on my skin; his tender touches creeping up my spine and consuming every part of me; my growing panic of insecurity and terror; my breath caught in my throat.

I didn't mean for it to happen….

But it did.

"… Just a drabble. For some reason, I really liked this one. I hope you guys did, too…!"
