a/n because so many of you asked, here's a sequel to New Beginnings. I'm not sure how many chapters this will be, it depends on the muse as always.

The First Date

JJ carried a steaming mug of coffee into her living room. Spence lay fully stretched out on her huge sectional couch, his legs crossed at the ankles. She smirked at his mismatched socks, which he wore with almost religious devotion.

"Hey…" She put his coffee down on the glass and steel coffee table.

He opened eyes that always reminded her of warm melted chocolate. "Hi," He said with a huge yawn.

"I brought you some coffee, but you should sleep instead."

"I was kind of dozing." He admitted swinging his body around into a sitting position. He took the coffee and sipped at it as JJ curled up on the couch next to him.

"We've got to work in the morning." JJ reminded him. "It's my last day."

"Don't remind me." Spencer said bitterly.

She wrapped her arms around his right arm and laid her head on his shoulder. "I don't want to go baby. You know that. I love working with you." She reminded him.

He set his coffee cup down on the end table that held a lamp with a creamy silk shade. "I wish there were some way to fix it." He pulled away from her and stood up to pace as he always did when agitated.

"Spence I don't know what to -"

He stopped in front of her, so close the heat of his distress washed over her like the incoming tides. "I'm not mad at you." He said softly

He reached out a hand and stroked her cheek with two fingers. She shivered under the ministrations of his soft, smooth, talented fingers. "What's wrong?" She asked gently.

He moved away from her again going to the gas fireplace at the north end of the room. He leaned on one hand against the ebony stone tiles that surrounded the insert. "I 'm mad at myself." He finally admitted not looking at her.

She inhaled slowly because it suddenly made sense, his growing tension with the team as she'd told the story of their romance to them. "Why?" She said as lightly as she could.

He turned back to her slumped over with the weight of the world on his thin shoulders. "I know I should be happy for you. It's a huge promotion for you, but I want things to stay the way they are."

She made herself hold still and listen. He'd get to the heart of what was really bothering him in his own time.

"I'm mad at myself because if you could stay we'd have to hide so I'm glad you're leaving. I love you and I want everyone to know."

She stood up and went to him putting her arms around his neck. "Don't you think I feel the same way? We're finally free of all the secrets and hiding, but it's because I have to leave. I don't know how I feel about it.

"Really?" He asked hopefully, pulling her in close.

"Yes…"

She stood up on her toes and melded her mouth to his lips. He responded instantly, opening his mouth so that her tongue could swipe at the top of his mouth. He groaned into her mouth and pulled her off her feet.

The hard bulge in his slacks that hadn't been there a minute ago pushed into her belly. She pulled away from his mouth with a pop and grinned at him. "You love it when I do that." She stated.

He turned an adorable shade of pink as he set her on her feet. "You know I do." He whispered huskily.

"I thought you were sleepy." She asked as he bent his head to nibble along the length of her neck.

He didn't answer her except to skin his teeth over her collarbone. Sweat popped out on her hands and she went wet at the touch of his fingers on the skin of her belly. Somehow, his fingers had pulled her light blue blouse from her navy blue pencil skirt without her notice.

He picked her up again and set her down on the hard slate tile hearth of the fireplace. His mouth continued to suck on her collarbone as he hit the on button for the fireplace. It whooshed on, she jumped in surprise as the yellow, and orange flames began to dance over the glass beads in the bottom of the insert.

She noticed that Spencer had stopped kissing her or touching her. He stood over her so that her face was inches from the bulge in his pants. She smiled and licked her lips.

"JJ…" He warned.

She reached up, undid his pants and pushed them, with the dark blue boxers he wore, to the floor, freeing his straining erection from its confinement.

"JJ please," He begged, "I want -"

She leaned forward and licked the underside of his penis to the head. "JJ…" He put his hands on the tile over her head.

"Shh…"

She swirled her tongue around the tip of his erection and he gasped, going still as a statue. "Oh God…" He breathed as the heat from the gas stove began filling the room.

She swallowed him down, humming gently in the back of her throat while her hand stroked and squeezed his testicles.

"Oh…."

She looked up as he groaned loudly his eyes closed, sweat building up on his forehead. His Adam's apple bobbed erratically as his hips began trusting toward JJ.

"Please baby…" He gasped. "I want to be inside you."

She let him slide out of her mouth. Her hips thrust up in anticipation as he knelt in front of her and unbuttoned her shirt.

"Your knee…" She asked.

"I'm fine," he assured her.

She lifted her backside off the hearth so he could pull off her panties. He smiled at the wet fabric that revealed her arousal. "Someone is very eager." He laughed.

"You should talk." She gasped as he pulled off her skirt, leaving her naked, but for her black lace bra.

The tiles were hard beneath her naked backside, but she hardly noticed while her hand pulled at his shirt. He opened her front clasp bra and pushed it off her shoulders. She cried out as his mouth found one of her breasts. He laved the hard point of her nipple with his tongue while her hands freed him from his shirt.

His long, lean and beautiful body showed in the low light of the fire that dance shadows over the walls. She jumped again when thunder suddenly cracked and rain poured down as though ever water tap in heaven had been turned on at the same time.

Spencer once again moved, this time bringing his knees up on the hearth. He pulled her close entering her at an odd angle that had her gasping. His hips thrust forward as his mouth moved to her unattended breast. He bit the nipple and she cried out his name. The room felt like noon on a hot summer day as thunder crashed and lightning lit up the room at regular intervals. The rain, so loud on the windows, almost drowned out her cries as he moved inside her.

She bit down on his shoulder and raked her nails across his back as the motion of his thrusts increased. He pulled her up off the tiles and slammed into her body, grunting and moaning out her name. She took the edge of his ear in her mouth and bit down. He immediately climaxed, pumping into her until the last of his seed pooled into her. She cried out clenching around him for an eternity of seconds. Finally, he slipped out of her. She dropped back to the hearth with a sigh, not able to move. She stayed sitting there with her legs splayed open, trying to get her breath back as he hovered over her with his hands on the wall for support.

"Wow…" He stood up wincing a bit at the pain in his knee.

"Damn it Spence, I told you to be careful."

She stood up swaying like a tree in a hurricane ignoring her protests. He followed her to the couch and the blanket slung over the back. He lay down and she crawled on top of him. He covered them and began stroking her hair.

"Don't try to get on my good side." She warned angrily. "Why did you do that?"

"I was thinking about five years ago." He said, surprising her out of her wrath.

"Oh…"

He smirked at her. "Thanks for not telling them that part of the story honey."

"I promised you I wouldn't then and I mean it now." She clutched him tighter, able to enjoy the tingling in her sweet spot now that she knew he was okay.

"Do you think Gideon knew what would happen when he encouraged me to ask you out?"

She laughed. "I hope not."

"I was so freaked out that day. I wanted to impress you so badly. I had such a crush on you I couldn't think straight." He admitted rubbing a hand along her back.

"I just wanted to go to the game. I was so happy when they won that it clouded my judgment."

"Hey," he protested.

"You know what I mean Spence. I liked you as a friend even if you were very odd and awkward most of the time."

"And annoying with all my statistics and oddball facts," he said burying his face in her hair so he could smell the vanilla scent of her shampoo.

"I didn't really know you then." She said. "Still, I was surprised when you agreed to come inside when I invited you in."

"You'd just moved in here." He remembered. "You hadn't unpacked yet, but I could see how happy you were to have your own home." He smiled at the remembrance.

"I remember convincing you to have a beer with me." She put her hands on his chest clasped together so her chin could rest there.

"I remember that I was incapable of speaking to you except about the game and football in general."

"I still feel badly." She said honestly, her blue eyes going nearly black with guilt.

"You don't have anything to be embarrassed about it JJ. I was in deep puppy dog love with you. I would've done anything to make you feel the same way. I thought that when you kissed me that night, it was what you wanted. I was so happy."

"You'd also had three beers by that time and I was high on the Redskin's winning. I wasn't thinking clearly. I'm sorry I said such hurtful things to you the next morning."

He held her tight to his chest as though she might get up and leave. "I was angry, but I knew I couldn't take it out on you because we had to work together, but for a long time I didn't like you very much." He admitted.

"I'm glad. I was an inconsiderate and selfish bitch. I should've known -"

He stopped her with a hand on her mouth. "You should have known what, that I'd never been with a girl. You didn't know because I didn't say anything. It was my fault. I thought if I faked it you wouldn't know, then I lost control and well, you know what happened next."

"I should have been more understanding."

"JJ… It was five years ago. Why are you castigating yourself over this now?" His fingers stroked her bare shoulders as he spoke.

"I don't know Spence. I guess talking about our secret to the team brought it back." She kissed him lightly. "I'm sorry." She said.

"Why?" The genuine confusion in his eyes made her stomach churn.

"I never apologized to you. I'm sorry for the way I treated you."

"It's okay JJ. I'm totally fine. I promise you." He crossed his heart like a child on the playground.

She watched his eyes and saw that he told the truth. She giggled. "At least we have a great memory in here to make up for five years ago."

He blushed, which made her laugh even harder. "Why don't we go to bed?" He slapped her backside.

She looked over at the clock as it struck midnight to the crash of thunder outside. "I don't want to move. If we go to sleep that means tomorrow will be here before we know it and it'll be my last day."

Tears welled up in her cobalt blue eyes and spilled over on her cheeks. "It'll be okay." He whispered. "We'll see each other every morning and night, as long as I don't have a case out of town. It'll have to be enough."

She got up pulling the blanket with her and went to gather their clothes. He smirked when her back was turned to him. He had a surprise for her, which he hoped would mitigate the pain of her leaving, that he'd give her in the morning. In the mean time, sleep sounded like a great idea.
