A/N: This is a story that I wrote a long time ago. I finally decided to post it. This story is a one-shot, unless people would like me to continue with this story. Let me know what you think.

I don't own criminal minds.

''What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose.''

Henry Ward Beecher

JJ was standing in front of the mirror in her wedding dress. She was about to marry Henry's dad. Marrying someone was supposed make you feel happy. JJ wasn't feeling happy, she was feeling like she was making a mistake. But how could she not marry the father of her child. The man that had given up so much for her. JJ loved Will, she really did but at the same time her heart was aching for someone else. Someone she had spent one night with after an extremely hard case. They found solace in each other. One thing led to another and they slept together. He was the man JJ had been in love with for years. He was just never available. He was married when she met him and she wasn't planning on sleeping with a married man. JJ knew that Hotch was attracted to her when he was still married. She noticed the looks and the way he acted around her when they were alone in a room together. Nothing ever happened until that one bad case. In that hotel room. They started off with talking and then it somehow just happened.

JJ heard a soft knock on the door. She walked towards the door to open it and on the other side of the door she saw Hotch standing. She flashed back to that night. Their one time together. The night that changed her life.

JJ was sitting in her hotel room. She saw the faces of the little children. She saw their bodies. She couldn't believe that anyone could ever hurt a child like that, let alone nine children. The team couldn't save the last young boy from dying a horrible death. JJ felt useless and unworthy in that moment.

She had been with the BAU for at least six years. She was questioning why she was still doing this job. A job that was eating away at her in that moment. She needed comfort but she didn't know who she could talk to. She knew Hotch would understand her the most because he was a parent to. She had opted to call Will. He would probably tell her to come home and quit her job, when he knew her job meant everything to her. Will had always hated her job and it was also the thing they fought most about. He blamed her for being away from Henry too much and he told she wasn't a fit mother. JJ loved Will but sometimes she felt like she could strangle him. He was the father of her child and nothing could ever change that.

JJ stood up from the edge of the bed to change into something more comfortable until she heard a knock on the door. She walked to the door to open it.

''I am coming.'' JJ said a little too loud.

JJ opened the door and she saw Emily standing in the hallway with a slight smile on her face. JJ saw that Emily was wearing a little black dress and she knew right away that Emily was going out.

''Hey JJ. The team is going out to a bar around the corner. Do you want to come?'' Emily asked.

''No. I am tired, Em.'' JJ explained softly.

''We all are. I know this case got to you, JJ. It got to all of us. Just come out for a drink. It will do you some good. Everyone is coming. Even Hotch!'' Emily said while walking into her friends room.

''Hotch?''

''Yeah, Rossi convinced him. Let's pick an outfit for you.'' Emily said and she was already going through JJ's bag.

''I have nothing I can wear to go out. Unlike you I pack for work.'' JJ joked.

''Just wait a sec I think I have something perfect in my room.'' Emily said.

''I will be here.'' JJ said and she watched Emily walked out of the room.

JJ sat down on the edge of the bed. She let herself fall backwards onto the bed and she moaned out in frustration. JJ didn't realize her door was still open until she heard footsteps coming into the room.

''Em, I don't think I am….'' JJ said when she noticed that Hotch was standing a few feet away from her bed. She sat up right away and she looked into his curious eyes.

''Oh sorry Hotch. I thought you were Emily.'' JJ said.

''I got that. Are going out to?'' he asked curiously.

''I don't think I have a choice. Emily is practically forcing me.''

''Are you okay?'' he asked with compassion. Hotch knew this case was emotional for JJ. He noticed her erratic behavior during the entire case.

JJ wanted to answer his question but she was interrupted when Emily started talking before she was even in the room.

''I found the dress JJ. Every guy is going to be checking you out. Maybe you will finally be satisfied since you aren't with Will….'' Emily said happily.

''Emily!'' JJ said loudly.

''Oh, hey Hotch!'' Emily said when she saw Hotch standing in the room with a questionable look on his face.

''Hello Prentiss. I will let you get to it. I will see you both in ten minutes.'' Hotch said as he walked out of the hotel room.

''Em! Oh my god. Hotch heard that!'' JJ screamed out.

''So what? He likes you.''

''He's my boss. He doesn't need to know anything about my sex-life. I can't believe you!'' JJ said with irritation in her voice.

''Oh, hold your horses. We both know you don't really have a sex-life. You told me. Maybe you will if you put this dress on with these heels.'' Emily said as she handed JJ the dress and the heels.

''I don't like you, right now.''

''I know.'' Emily joked.

JJ walked into the bathroom and she put on the dress and she stepped into the high heels. She was used to walking on heels but these heels felt enormous to her. She pulled her long blonde hair out of the ponytail and she let it hang lose. She pulled a brush through her hair and quickly fixed her make-up. She looked in the mirror and she thought the dress was a little too short but she knew Emily was wearing a short dress which meant she wasn't the only one. JJ walked back into the room were Emily was impatiently waiting.

''See. You look amazing, JJ.'' Emily said while standing up from the chair.

''I hope it's not looking too amazing." JJ said as she followed her friend out of the hotel room.

The guys were already in the bar. Morgan was asked to dance and he dancing with a couple of beautiful women. Reid was sitting at table with Hotch and Rossi, while he was listening to them discuss Hotch's relationship with Beth.

''I think you should ask her out on a real date, Aaron.'' Rossi said while holding his glass of scotch.

''I don't know Dave. I guess we will see.'' Hotch replied.

''Normally a man like you would have already found a suitable companion. Widowed man are more likely to find a partner than a widowed woman.'' Reid explained quickly.

''Thanks Reid. See, even the genius agrees with me.'' Rossi said.

''I didn't actually agree with you, Rossi. It's a fact. You can't disagree with a fact.'' Reid added.

''Ah, Reid is right.'' Hotch joked.

''Do you have any idea if the ladies are coming?'' Rossi asked curiously.

''I think so.'' Hotch said.

''JJ and Emily are probably dressing up and all. You know the approximate time for a woman to get…'' Reid tried to say.

''Reid we don't need you statistics on the approximate time for women to get ready.'' Hotch said quickly to stop a rambling Reid from giving him a headache.

''Speak of the devils. There they are!'' Rossi said as he pointed to JJ and Emily walking into the bar.

Hotch turned around and his eyes fell on JJ immediately. She was wearing a tiny dark blue dress that formed around her body perfectly. Hotch could see her beautiful long legs because the dress was short. JJ walked in like she owned the room and Hotch couldn't tear his eyes away from her. He finally looked away when they were only a few feet away.

JJ saw Hotch's flustered face when she and Emily were closer to the table. JJ saw Rossi being pulled away by a beautiful brunette. JJ and Emily sat down at the table when they had ordered a beer.

''Hey!'' JJ said softly while looking at Hotch.

''Hey!'' Hotch replied.

''Reid, you need some dancing.'' Emily said and she pulled Reid away before he could do anything to object.

JJ saw Hotch was barely looking at her. She noticed the nervousness in his face.

''Hotch?'' JJ said softly while putting her hand over his.

Hotch was startled by her touch and he suddenly looked at her.

''Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.'' JJ apologized.

''It's okay. I was just looking at Prentiss and Reid dancing.'' he lied easily.

''Well, let's go dancing than.'' JJ said and she grabbed Hotch's hand.

''I am not really a dancer, JJ.'' he said.

''Doesn't matter. Neither am I.'' JJ said.

JJ pulled Hotch onto the dance floor and she moved closer towards him. Her hips started moving to the rhythm of the music. JJ saw Hotch just standing in front of her and she decided to make him move. JJ put Hotch's hands on her hips and she started moving again. Hotch was caught off guard by her move but he didn't take his hands away from her. JJ put her hands on his shoulders and she moved a little closer towards him. JJ finally felt Hotch moving with her.

''You can dance Hotch. You just need to loosen up a little.'' JJ said with smile on her face. She was starting to forget the horrible case they just worked on and she was actually having some fun.

''I will try.'' Hotch whispered softly in her ear.

JJ held her breath when she felt him so close to her neck. She felt a shiver go through her entire body. Hotch noticed JJ's reaction when he moved towards her neck. He slowly moved away and he gave her a small smile.

After dancing on a few songs, they both decided to get back to the table and have another drink. Reid and Emily were back at the table and they both looked very tired.

''I am beat. I think I am going to get some sleep. See you guys tomorrow!'' Reid said as he walked away.

''How about you, Em? You seem pretty tired as well. Maybe it wasn't such a great idea to go out.'' JJ teased, knowing she was right.

''You can tell me you were right when I am not having a headache from the drinking. Bye!'' Emily said and she followed Reid out of the bar.

JJ and Hotch both laughed at Emily's comment. Before they could say anything they saw Morgan and Rossi coming back.

''Nice to see you JJ.'' Morgan yawned.

''I have been here for quite some time. I guess you were too busy with the ladies.'' JJ joked.

''I think we are all tired. Maybe we should get back to the hotel.'' Hotch said as he stood up from his stool.

Everyone followed Hotch out and they started walking back to the hotel. Rossi and Hotch were walking ahead of Morgan and JJ. JJ was teasing Morgan about the girls he was dancing with. Hotch heard JJ's laughter and he turned around a couple of times to see what they were laughing about.

When they reached the hotel they all went into their rooms. JJ was about undress when she heard a soft knock on her door.

''Coming!'' JJ said softly.

''Hotch, what are you doing here?'' JJ asked surprised when she saw him standing behind her door.

''Can I come in?''

''Of course. What's going on? You look serious all of a sudden. Did I do something wrong?'' JJ said and she just started rambling.

''JJ, calm down. I just wanted to know how you are holding up. I know this case got to you and I want you to know that you can talk to me. I understand.'' he explained softly while sitting down next to JJ on the edge of the bed.

''I just can't get the images of those children out of my head. I forgot for a while when we were in the bar but since the first night we got here I haven't been able to shake the images. I just feel like we could have done something more to have saved that little boy. If I had been in that room twenty seconds earlier he might have still been alive, Hotch.'' JJ said while she felt the tears stinging in her eyes.

JJ stood up from the bed to take a sweater out of her bag to make herself a bit more comfortable around Hotch. She didn't notice that Hotch was standing behind her. JJ suddenly felt two hands on her stomach and she was being pulled against Hotch's body. Hotch brought his mouth to her ear.

''You did everything you could JJ. There was nothing else we could have done. This is not your fault. The only one you can blame is the unsub.'' Hotch whispered in her ear and he felt JJ shiver again.

''Hotch what are you doing?'' JJ murmured when he softly kissed her neck.

''Making you feel satisfied!'' Hotch groaned out when he put another kiss on JJ's soft neck.

JJ blushed. She knew he heard Emily's comment but she was hoping he could forget about it. JJ didn't try to pull away from him. The moment he touched her, she felt an ache in her body. She had never felt that kind of electricity with such a soft touch. JJ arched her neck when Hotch started sucking at her soft skin.

''Hotch!'' JJ moaned out softly.

''JJ?'' he asked hoarsely.

JJ didn't answer him and he took it as a sign to continue his actions. Hotch moved to the other side of her neck and he repeated the same movements. He let his hands roam around her stomach. He felt JJ jump slightly when he let his hands slide upwards to cup both of her breasts with his hands. Hotch felt her hard nipples through her bra and dress. He started softly massaging JJ's breasts and he heard her moan out in pleasure. Hotch felt himself harden with every moan. He pulled JJ closer to him, so she could feel how much he wanted her. Hotch wanted her since the first day she walked into his office.

''Hotch.'' JJ moaned out again.

Hotch let go of JJ and he groaned at the loss of contact with her body. He walked around her to stand in front of her. He cupped her face with one if his hands. He softly leaned towards her and he let his lips softly brush against hers for the very first time. JJ responded immediately by moving her lips against his. When she responded she felt Hotch becoming at bit more aggressive and he moaned out in pleasure when his tongue met hers. JJ let her hands slide down Hotch's pants and she touched his arousal through his pants. Hotch started panting when he felt JJ move her hands against his hardness.

Hotch let his hands roam around JJ's sides when he still had contact with her mouth. He moved away from her lips and he started to put a trail of kisses from her jaw to her chest. He felt her hands move up his chest to take of his tie. JJ threw his tie on the ground and she started unbuttoning his white dress shirt. JJ knew that what she was doing was wrong because she had a family back home but she lost her control when Hotch started kissing her neck. She wanted this. She wanted him for so long and she couldn't believe it was finally happening.

Hotch's suit jacket and shirt followed the same faith as his tie. Hotch let his hands slide down JJ's body to pull up her dress. He lifted her dress over her head and JJ cooperated by stretching her arms above her head. He let the dress fall to the ground and he took a few steps back to take in JJ's beautiful body.

''You're so beautiful!'' he groaned as he looked at her lacy black bra and her matching panties.

JJ stepped out of her heels and she walked towards Hotch. She gave him a hungry kiss on the mouth before she moved down to kiss him on his muscular chest. She kissed every scar he had from Foyet's attack. Hotch hands were searching for the clasp of her bra and he opened it. He took it of her and he took both of her breasts into his hands. He later leaned down to kiss her breasts and he heard JJ moan at his kisses. JJ was sick of his teasing and she decided to tease him right back. She pushed him onto the bed and she took off shoes and socks. She climbed on top of him. She bent down to kiss him on the lips and her hands moved down to his pants while his hands were exploring the area near her panties. JJ unbuckled his belt and she unzipped his pants. She climbed of him and she stepped on the floor. She pulled down his pants and after his pants his boxers followed. JJ suddenly was stunned to see his manhood. She never thought he would be that big. She never noticed it in his suits. She stood there frozen for a while and Hotch smirked when he saw her taking in his entire body.

''See something you like?'' Hotch smirked.

''Wow, uh, yeah. Sorry.'' JJ said.

JJ walked back towards the bed and she sat down next to Hotch. She started softly touching him and she heard him groan out in pleasure. She leaned down to take him in her mouth and she felt Hotch's body tense up.

''You are driving me crazy.'' he groaned.

''Good.'' JJ teased as she moved onto his lap and she felt him pressing against her core.

Hotch rolled them over and he was now on top of JJ. He tore of her panties and he made JJ laugh with his move.

''You have no control.'' JJ joked.

''I guess not.'' he said as he softly touched her wetness.

He heard JJ moan but he couldn't control himself any longer. He wanted to make her his. Even though he knew it would only be for one night. He needed it and he had wanted it for too long.

Hotch put his arousal against JJ and he started teasing her. He felt JJ move with him.

''Protection?'' he asked softly.

''I am fine. I am on the pill and Will and I haven't…you know'' JJ tried to explain but she didn't want to talk about Will. Will was the one who was putting of having sex with her. JJ knew it was laziness. She knew she didn't ask for much but he just didn't want to.

''Good. I want to feel all of you.'' Hotch said.

He filled JJ entirely with one hard thrust. JJ tried to scream out in pleasure. Hotch groaned at the same time when he felt JJ's tightness around him

''Shhh…No one should hear us sweetheart, we have neighbors.'' Hotch said and he gave JJ a kiss to silence her screams.

''Sorry. You just…wow.'' JJ said while she was trying to breathe normally.

''I know. It has been a long time for me to. It's fine JJ.'' he whispered softly in her ear.

Hotch gave JJ some time to adjust to the feeling and when JJ gave him the sign to move, he moved out of her and plunged back into her as hard as he could. He kept repeating his moves and JJ moved with him. He lost his control when he felt JJ move her hips in another position, so he could feel her deeper. He heard JJ's cries and panting. He started to feel her tighten around him and he knew she wasn't going to let go.

''Let go, sweetheart.'' Hotch said and he gave her a soft kiss on her lips.

''Hotch..oh..Hotch.'' JJ said.

He felt her release around him and he lost all of his control and a few moments later he released himself into her. Hotch collapsed on top of her and he moved off her when he had the energy.

He pulled JJ against him and dropped a sheet over their naked and exhausted bodies.

''I didn't expect that to happen.'' Hotch joked.

''Neither did I. You made me feel better though.'' JJ said as he moved her head on his chest.

Hotch and JJ drifted off in each other's arms. JJ felt safe and desirable at the same time. She had never felt the kind of passion and desire before as she just experienced with Hotch.

JJ woke up early in the morning when she saw a light coming through her window. Her eyes fluttered open and she saw it was 7 am. The team was flying back to DC around 9.30 am. She didn't want to leave the place she was in but she knew it had to end. She and Hotch would go back to being boss and subordinate again. She would go back to her relationship with Will, trying to forget her amazing night with her handsome boss.

JJ suddenly felt a possessive arms around her when she wanted to climb out of the bed. Hotch pulled JJ on top of him.

''Where are you going?'' he asked.

''Hotch we shouldn't do this anymore. It can't happen again.'' JJ tried to say but she knew Hotch would convince her otherwise.

''We should do this!'' Hotch said in disagreement.

He gave her a kiss on her lips and he rolled them over. JJ felt Hotch's arousal already pressed against her and she was really excited already. Hotch moved his hands down to JJ's entrance and he smiled in approval when he felt she was already wet for him.

Hotch pulled her legs further apart and he plunged into her when he saw JJ's approval. He started moving faster and faster until they both released themselves. He dropped himself next to her and he saw JJ pulling herself up so sit against the headboard.

''What are we going to do after this, Hotch? I mean I never thought this would happen and I have Will. I just cheated on him and I feel horrible about that and I don't want to hurt him.'' JJ said, knowing she was never going to forget this night.

''JJ, you deserve to feel good about yourself. You're beautiful on the inside and the outside. We just act like we always do. We just do our jobs and we just let it be one time. One mind-blowing night and morning.'' Hotch replied honestly.

''I am okay with that, if you are.''

''I am.'' he said.

JJ picked up her clothes from the floor and she went into the bathroom to take a shower. When she came back, Hotch was already gone. She knew it was for the best. She knew she wanted more of him but she couldn't do that. She had Will waiting for her at home. Even though she never felt that kind of passion with Will, she still knew she loved him. She forced herself to forget Hotch but in never worked. She never realized her attraction would become more than just a physical one.

Hotch looked at JJ's face and he saw hurt coming from her eyes. He had no idea if it was because of him standing in front of her. Hotch had never forgotten that one night they had shared two months ago. He would never forget it. JJ was too special to ever forget. He was crushed when he heard she was marrying Will. He wanted to stop her but JJ never gave him a signal of not wanting to get married. He could stop the wedding but he was with Beth and he really liked her a lot. He could see it going somewhere but he knew JJ would always be planted in the back of his mind. He saw JJ walk back towards the mirror without saying anything and he flashed back to the morning after.

Hotch, Rossi, Reid and Morgan were waiting in the lobby for the two female agents. It was 9 am and the plane was going to leave in half an hour and they were already late.

JJ closed her door and she heard Emily coming up from behind her. She hoped Emily wouldn't notice JJ's weird walk. JJ wasn't used to the kind of activity she had just been a part of and walking hurt in that moment. At first Emily was walking next to her but when they reached the lobby Emily noticed JJ's funny walk.

''Jeez, JJ. What did you do last night? You're walking like you were hit by a bus?'' Emily joked.

Hotch heard Emily's comment and he couldn't help but feel guilty. Maybe he had been too rough with JJ but he knew she was enjoying it as much as him.

No I was hit by something else, Emily. JJ thought to herself.

''Ah, leave me alone!'' JJ murmured.

''What the hell happened?''Emily asked curiously.

''I fell down in your high heels last night. Just when I got back to my hotel room.'' JJ lied easily.

''Ah poor JJ. I am sorry.'' Emily said and she walked towards the guys.

Hotch saw the team walking out of the lobby and he decided to wait for JJ. She looked like she was about to fall down.

''I will check on JJ. You guys go ahead and drive towards the airstrip. We will follow you.'' Hotch said to the team and they nodded in response.

He pulled JJ with him into a bathroom and he locked the door behind him. JJ had no idea what he wanted from her. She tried to move around him but he held her back.

''Hotch, what are you doing?'' JJ asked him.

''JJ, I didn't hurt you did I?'' Hotch asked worriedly.

''No, not at all. I just you know uhh. You are, uhh, wow.'' JJ said.

''Good or bad wow?'' Hotch asked curiously.

''Definitely a good wow.'' JJ said and she noticed the grin on Hotch's face.

''I thought we were going to forget about this Hotch. We talked about it this morning.'' JJ said carefully.

''I know. I just get so excited when I am in the same room with you. You're amazing JJ.'' Hotch teased as he moved closer towards JJ.

''Hotch. No. We have to go.'' JJ said but she was stopped when Hotch lifted her up on the counter. He pulled down his pants and boxers. He was already hard enough. Hotch pulled up her skirt to her waist and she was also excited enough. She only had to see him and she was ready. JJ couldn't say no and before she knew it their lips were already making contact. JJ moaned softly when he started massaging her breasts through her blouse.

Hotch positioned himself in front of her and he pulled aside her panties to enter her slowly. He didn't want to hurt JJ. He started moving softly but he once again lost his control when he heard JJ moan out his name. Hotch started panting until they both released themselves. He pulled away from JJ to pull up his pants and boxers and he saw JJ pulling her skirt down. She straightened her hair and she climbed off the counter. Hotch walked towards her and he gave her one long passionate kiss before he followed JJ out of the bathroom.

He never realized that was his very last kiss with JJ. If he had known he would have stayed with her longer. He never wanted to let her go but both of them promised to forget it. Even if he had to suffer from it. He never wanted to hurt JJ. He also didn't want her to marry Will. Hotch never liked Will. He always seemed to demanding but on the other side, he moved to DC to be with JJ and Henry. He was a great father to his son. Hotch just didn't know if he would be good for JJ and that's all he wanted for her. He saw JJ slowly turning around to face him and he had no idea what to say.

''What are you doing here?'' JJ finally asked while she faced Hotch and she looked him in the eyes.

''I just wanted to see how you are doing. You look beautiful, JJ.'' Hotch said softly while staring at JJ in her wedding dress. JJ was wearing a white strapless wedding dress that fit around her body perfectly. Her hair was lose in soft curls. He make-up brought out her beautiful blue eyes. Hotch couldn't tear his eyes away from her.

''I am fine. I am happy. It's my wedding day. And thank you.'' JJ said.

''Are you….''

''Happy?'' JJ asked annoyed.

''Yeah. I mean are you really happy with Will? Do you really want this?'' he asked carefully.

''Of course. I love him, Hotch. You have absolutely no right to ask me that.'' JJ replied.

''No right, JJ? We…''

''Slept together? I know. But you are the one who said to forget it and now you're asking me if I am sure about marrying Will. I don't know what you want me to say Hotch.'' JJ said and she stepped away from Hotch.

''I want you to tell me that you really want to marry Will. I need to know that you're really happy, JJ. You deserve to be happy.''

''What if I say I don't want to marry Will. What will you do? Last time I checked, you were still with Beth. You shouldn't even be here. Would you leave Beth for me, Hotch?'' JJ asked while she felt the tears stinging in her eyes. She didn't want to fight with Hotch but she thought he was being ridiculous. He doesn't want her to marry Will, but he was still with someone else.

''I don't know JJ. This just all confuses me. Every time is see you, I get so confused. I don't know what to do.'' Hotch said honestly.

The door to the room opened when Penelope and Emily came in and the interrupted JJ and Hotch's conversation.

''Hotch, what are you doing here?'' Emily asked surprised.

''Oh…uh…I just came to wish JJ good luck.'' Hotch lied. JJ saw the that he was lying and she was getting sick of him turning around the real subject.

''Can you guys give us a minute?'' JJ asked while she looked from Penelope to Emily. Both of them walked out of the room without saying anything.

Hotch saw the confusion in JJ's eyes and he didn't know what to do or say to her. He was standing in front of JJ while she was just staring at him. He had never expected this to happen. He never thought JJ would actually marry Will. He knew he had no right to interfere but he couldn't help it.

''I just need you to leave me alone, Hotch.'' JJ said softly.

"JJ, are you alright?'' Hotch asked to break the second silence between them.

''No, I am not. Are you happy with that? I am far from being alright. I am trying so hard to be happy here. I just can't breathe with you looking at me all the time. I need you to leave me alone.'' JJ said angrily.

''I am not looking at you.'' Hotch replied, knowing he was lying.

''Yes, you are. Every day at work you have been looking at me. I am really trying here Hotch. I am trying to be happy. I just can't breathe with you looking at me like that!'' JJ replied.

''I am not looking at you. I just think that you're making a mistake!'' Hotch replied.

''This is not a mistake. Just give me one reason why you think I am making a mistake!'' JJ said a little louder.

''I can't.'' Hotch replied.

''That's exactly what I was thinking, Hotch. You should leave. I have a wedding to get ready for.'' JJ said. She wanted Hotch to say something. She and Hotch had always been close and that one night only intensified her feelings for him a thousand times more. JJ was afraid that he didn't feel the same way and that she would be alone in the end. She kept telling herself that she was doing the right thing by marrying the father of her son.

''JJ!'' Hotch pleaded.

''Hotch, don't ask me to do this. You aren't giving me a reason.'' JJ said as Hotch started to walk closer to her. He stopped when their bodies were only a few inches apart. His hands reached her face. He cupped her face and he started to lean forward. His lips barely brushed against hers, but it was enough to sent a jolt of electricity down her spine. She responded gently at first. It didn't take long before the kiss was a fight for dominance. Their lips met in a force that they had both never felt before, knowing that it was going to be the last time. He pushed her softly against the wall while his hands sneaked around her waist. He pulled away to catch his breath and their foreheads touched in the meantime. Their chest were heaving. Hotch pulled away and his hands left her waist. He knew it was over. He was losing the person he was in love with. He didn't know how to tell JJ. He couldn't tell her.

''I will go now. Good luck!'' Hotch said and he finally left the room. He felt the anger boiling inside of him. He made his way into a restroom and he slammed the door shut. He was losing someone again. He was losing JJ to Will. He wanted JJ to be his. He wanted her to become his. He wanted to have a lifetime with her, but he knew it could never happen. His heart was shattered the moment he realized that.

''If you love someone, you say it, you say it right then, out loud, or the moment just passes you by.''
