A little introduction to the story. It'll get juicer as it goes on. Promise...
Hotch knew he was lucky- lucky for Jack, for his job, his work colleagues and for Emily. She had really been there for him since Haley. When he closed himself off from the world, hid himself in the darkness and buried himself in his work, she was the only one who fought threw it all and showed him the light. At first she just got on his nerves, with her constant cheesy jokes and pity talks, but now he needed her, wanted her. This hurt him more as he knew he could never have her. This was and always had been the rules of the BAU. There was to be no fraternizing with subordinates. He blamed Rossi- after all, he was the reason this inane rule had to be introduced in the first place. Clearly, he just wasn't lucky enough.
Deep in thought, Hotch sat in his office surrounded by case files. He wasn't going to get any work done at this rate. Suddenly he was interrupted by a knock at the door. "Come in", he groaned.
"Sir, sorry to interrupt but I was just wondering if you were coming to the office party tonight?"
Hotch peered up at one Emily Prentiss standing in front of him. She was wearing a red, low cut strap-top that hugged and highlighted her breasts perfectly. "God, she looks good", Hotch thought. His eyes continued to roam over body- from her breasts, to her stomach, to her hips and ass- curves in all the right places. He knew it was wrong, but he couldn't help himself. He wanted her so badly.
"Hotch with all due respect, would you mind not staring at my breasts?" she smirked.
"Oh, uh- I wasn't… I mean I didn't…" he chocked on his words, "I'm sorry".
"It's fine," she chuckled. "Now tonight, I know you have all that paperwork and all, but I think you could really use a night out. Being stuck in this office all day really isn't good for you. No offence, sir"
"I don't think it's a good idea" he grumbled. Truthfully, he knew if he had to spend any more time with her, he was going to end up ripping her clothes off right in front of everyone and he didn't think she would appreciate that. Plus, he respected her far too much to humiliate her in such a way, especially since these feelings were obviously not mutual. "This works to be completed by tomorrow morning" he lied.
"Please Hotch, I could really use the company since JJ isn't coming anymore"
He couldn't resist. "OK, I'll be there."
She smiled at him gratefully and he gave her nod as she walked out the door. He was going to have to find away to get her out of his head and fast.
