It was almost noon before JJ woke, her head pounding as if someone was inside it with a jackhammer. Her stomach felt like she had just rode a roller coaster ten consecutive times and she felt like she hadn't slept in weeks. As she lay in the bed staring at the ceiling, waiting for it to stop spinning only one clear thought came to her mind. "Did I really have to have that last drink?" Finally sitting up gingerly and making her way to the kitchen to get the aspirin and water before trying to move about the apartment and get her land legs back.
By the time Prentiss and Garcia returned that evening she had finally managed to shower and change into some clean clothes Emily had laid out for her in addition to having eaten a sandwich after downing a considerable amount of water and aspirin. She had just started feeling halfway normal again as she swore she would not drink like this in the future while she tried to remember exactly what she had said to her fellow female agents. She could only hope it wasn't something embarrassing she thought when they entered, instantly aware by the mischievous looks on their faces that whatever she had told them had been far from innocent drunk ravings.
"Feeling better?" Garcia asked cheerfully as she sat down on one side of the trim blonde while Prentiss sat down on the other side, both more closely than JJ was used to as she felt a little blocked in.
"Yes, thanks," JJ said with obvious suspicion as she watched the women smiling at her, obviously not very interested into inquiring further into her wellbeing. "Ok, out with it, what did I say last night?" She finally decided to get it out in the open whatever it was, tired of the matching Cheshire grins she was receiving, feeling a sense of giddiness radiating from both her female coworkers.
"Oh, nothing much, just a little something about Will not appreciating you in the bedroom," Prentiss supplied the information. On a different occasion she would have enjoyed making her friend twist a little bit in suspense but with the news the women had to tell her they didn't want to delay it.
"Oh no," JJ said as she leaned forward resting her head against her palms as she felt the throbbing between her temples start to pick up again. Given all the grief she had experienced lately from being criticized for her apparent lackluster performance in the bedroom she could only imagine what she might have said.
"No worries my friend," Garcia said still seeming a little too bright and chipper for JJ's liking. "We, your fairy godmothers, have come up with a solution.
JJ could only look at them with dumbfounded horror at the thought they had decided to take any action whatsoever in regards to her sex life.
"Hear us out ok," Prentiss started, a tone of caution in her voice, "we decided that we should help you out, remind you what it felt like to feel valued by a man and enjoy sex again, maybe help you turn the tables back on Will if you still want him around. Let your friends remind you of how desirable you really are." She said, not surprised at the small flash of alarm in JJ's eyes.
"Umm, ladies, I really appreciate your offer but I'm really not interested in trying things with well.. other women." JJ uncharacteristically stammered as she responded to what she thought her friends were offering. She was both relieved and a little embarrassed as they both started laughing at her assumption as she tried to figure out what else they might have meant.
"We're not you're only friends JJ," Garcia said cryptically as she waited for JJ to decipher the statement. Knowing the instant she did as JJ's eyes opened wide as she turned her head rapidly back and forth between her friends.
"Don't tell me you're thinking of the guys?!" She exclaimed, hoping, almost praying that she had misread them again.
"Who else, we work with four single hot guys who all care about you, why not?" Prentiss chimed in trying to sound rational as she pushed the idea at her gaping friend. "Though I guess I should say only three eligible ones as Reid thinks of you more like a sister and immediately launched into statistics about sex when we brought up the idea. I'm not sure he ever really understood what we were getting at." The dark haired agent amended the count slightly. "Garcia talked to Reid and Morgan, while I took Hotch and Rossi, I assure you aside from Reid the rest were definitely quite willing to lend a hand… among other things." Prentiss couldn't help but smile at her innuendo.
"Emily Prentiss, please tell me you did not approach Hotch or Rossi about my sex life." JJ demanded hotly. "Derek I can live with as he probably would take it as a joke, but I'll have to quit my job if you're telling the truth." JJ was going from stunned to angry as she tried to take in what she was hearing, still desperately hoping that any minute now someone would start laughing and tell her it was a joke.
"Relax sweetpea," Garcia chimed in, trying to add some balm to the rapidly escalating discussion. "You know any of them would sooner die than harm you. And you can't tell me they're not all sexy in their own way." She grinned knowingly hoping she could help her friend refocus her attention to the men being offered to her on a silver platter instead of seeing them as her boss and coworkers. "Just think for a minute of what one night with them could be like." She continued to try and entice her friend.
"You aren't suggesting I take all three of them are you?" JJ almost squeaked at the idea, missing the smile from Prentiss at the realization that she had quit protesting and had shifted her thoughts to the actual possibility of sharing a night of passion with their coworkers.
"Of course not, it would be one at a time, a week or two apart so Will doesn't get suspicious." Prentiss quickly introduced, not wanting to give their sexually frustrated agent too much time to think about the proposition.
"They'll all be good in their own different way," Garcia assured her with a knowing smile, again providing a different distraction as JJ contemplated what she was hearing.
"You sound like you know from personal experience." She said cautiously, surveying her two friends carefully.
"You could say that," Garcia admitted, "Morgan and I are just friends but he's certainly been a big help on a couple of occasions when I needed a pick me up after being rejected by some loser who doesn't like a full figured woman. I only know what Prentiss has told me about Rossi," she said shifting her eyes along with JJ to the woman on their right.
"Yes, Rossi will take you to new heights of ecstasy, and like Morgan he's really cool about the casual sex thing, they could both see it as a friends with benefits offer and not let it affect a working relationship." Prentiss easily admitted seeing JJ's shock that both women were willing to share men they had already slept with.
"And Hotch?" JJ finally worked up the courage to ask, trying to imagine him bedding either of her friends.
"Hotch is our wild card." Garcia admitted slowly, "neither of us have yet had a chance with him, we almost didn't ask but since it was you we took the chance."
"He was reluctant at first but it didn't take long to convince him." Prentiss said with a meaningful smile. "You know he's always had a soft spot for you." She added, seeing JJ's cheeks become pink at the thought.
"But you know he's got to be good," Garcia said with an almost predatory grin while JJ looked a little uncertain, a look that was not missed by either friend.
"Oh come on JJ, use those profiling skills, all that control and perfection, you know he'll give 100% in the bedroom as well to make sure his objective is completed, the objective of course being to help you realize just how sexy you are." She reminded their friend of the mission they had given to the three willing men they had approached only a little earlier in the day.
Both women silently cheered as JJ swallowed nervously before affixing her gaze on a fish swimming lazily in the corner tank. She obviously looked both excited and nervous as she tentatively asked for more information about their plan. Not quite believing she was agreeing to go through with this, but also knowing she needed something different and hopefully exciting. She could only hope the two women who had helped drag her into this knew what they were doing.
