Hotch arrived on Spencer's doorstep and rang the doorbell.

As he waited for the door to be answered he thought back to the very intense sexual dreams he'd had the previous night and nearly groaned out loud as he remembered the intense desire and the state his body had been in when he had woken up.

He had woken up with a hard-on that was so painful that it had taken over half an hour and a very cold shower for it too go back to normal. He realized that he and Spencer had just met, but he wanted to make love to his mate so badly that it was driving him absolutely crazy and usually he was a very patient man, but when it came to his mate it was a totally different story altogether. He had known, in theory anyway, that these feelings of intense desire would happen the minute he met his mate and boy had the old man, who was also a Shifter and been happily married for many years, who had told him these things before he went to college been right. Hotch didn't like to remember most of his childhood for it had been abusive in the extreme. His parents hadn't exactly been the warm cuddly types, so he and his siblings had suffered extreme neglect, but his mother had been known to hit him and also his brothers and sisters when she felt they had done something wrong and her definition of wrong was so skewered that it was an unusual day that either he or one of his siblings didn't get hit at least once, though it was usually more then that.

If he was going to have such intense dreams every night until he and his mate actually made love Hotch know it was likely going to be months of frustration. However, he knew that frustration would be worth it in the end and he was determined to wait until Spencer told him that he was ready to take their relationship to the next level, which hopefully, wouldn't be to long. Hotch could certainly understand that his mate needed a month or two in order to get to know him better before he consented to share his body, because even though he was more than ready to make love to Spencer Reid he knew that the younger man wasn't, because the two of them had just met. The reason he was ready to make love, even though he had just met the other man was because he had been raised a Shifter and had a Shifter's instincts and male wolf Shifters in particular were known to be rather aggressive and impatient, especially when it came to making love to their other halves and therefore, they had trouble waiting, so even though his instincts were screaming at him he wouldn't risk his barely budding relationship, although if Spencer had been a Shifter he would have felt the nearly irresistible pull of the True Mate Bond as well and the two of them would already have made love all throughout the previous night as his mate would've immediately understand that the bond meant that they were made for each other.

Suddenly Hotch was pulled out of his thoughts as the door was flung open.

"Hey!" Spencer greeted his mate enthusiastically causing Hotch to smile warmly at the younger man and step inside. "I'm so happy to see you."

"And I you," Hotch told the other man his voice a silky and sexy growl causing Spencer to flush and for the sudden intense desire his body produced to go straight to his groin.

Hotch held open his arms for the younger man and Spencer immediately walked into the tender and gentle embrace, reveling in the other man's intense body heat and also the loving way the other man's arms closed around his slim form holding him protectively, but gently and tenderly.

The two of them stood there for a few minutes exchanging a few gentle and tender kisses, that held the hint of so much more to come that it nearly caused both of them to groan with lust and desire and attack each other, right there.

"Let me introduce you to rest of my siblings before we get going," Spencer suggested finally, although it was pure torture to wretch himself away from Aaron's arms and also his loving embrace.

Why did he feel so close to this man already since the two of them had only just met last night? Spencer asked himself. When he had finally fallen asleep the previous night his dreams had been so intense and very sensual that he had woken up with a hard-on that was so painful that he had taken quite a lot of time in the cold water of a shower in order to get rid of it. His dreams had been intensely sexual as his brain had imagined what it would feel like for Aaron Hotchner to enter his body for the first time, which he was sure would pale in comparison to the reality. He had never realized that he had such a vivid imagination for he'd had no trouble imagining what Aaron looked like under his clothes or that having sex with him for the first time and many times after that would be some of the best experiences of his life. He had a feeling that once he and Aaron made love for the first time that neither one of them would want to leave the bed for a month or more, even if they knew they must.

Hotch nodded trying not to smirk for he had not missed the way that his mate flushed with desire or the way that he'd practically had to force himself to leave his embrace and this made him think that there was indeed hope that he would be able to take their relationship to the next level sometime in the very near future as he didn't know how long he was going to be able to resist making love to the younger man or actually fucking him senseless.

Spencer led Hotch into the den and as soon as the older man was settled in one of the comfortable chairs that were dotted around the room Spencer headed upstairs to get his siblings.

It was only five minutes later when Spencer came back downstairs trailed by all seven of his brothers and sisters.

"Guys, I would like to meet Aaron Hotchner, Aaron this is my family. You've already met Liya, but this is her twin sister Leah."

Hotch studied the two girls thinking that they might have been twins, but it wasn't really obvious because beside the general facial features and body types that made them sisters they looked nothing alike as they were even vastly different heights.

Liya had black hair cut short to where it barely reached her shoulders and her eyes were a warm golden brown like her brother's, Leah on the other hand, had brown hair like Spencer did, but considerably longer then her sister's, but her eyes were blue. Also Leah was several inches taller then her sister at 6 feet, while Liya was only maybe 5'4' or 5'5'

Unless you knew that the two were twins you would tell everybody you met that the two girls were sisters, but not twins, because they looked so different from each other.

"Next is Andrew and Chance who as I told you the other night are 14," Spencer introduced.

Hotch studied the two and thought they looked more alike then their twin sisters did, as both had Spencer's brown hair, except curly and the same facial features, body types and were even the same height. Really the only difference was that one had blue eyes and the other golden brown.

"This is Natalie, the only single child my parent's had besides, me," Spencer said introducing a beautiful girl of 13 with black hair like one of her twin sisters and beautiful brown eyes that were just a couple of shades darker then her siblings golden brown. "And finally we have Bronwyn and Hudson who are 10."

The boy and girl twins also looked very similar to each other, except for the obvious difference of them being the opposite sex. In fact if the two of them had been the same sex they would have been considered identical for they had the same black hair as two of their other siblings and also the golden brown eyes, as well as being the same height.

"It's nice to meet you all," Hotch told Spencer's siblings.

"It's nice to meet you to," Leah said. "Thank you for what you did for my sister. If not for you that situation with Alex probably would have turned out much worse."

"You're welcome," Hotch said, "but I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and I couldn't not step in."

"You didn't actually have to interfere you know you could have just driven away. We're all grateful that you were the exception, but most people wouldn't have wanted to get involved," Hudson said.

"You're right," Hotch admitted, "but even if I didn't work for the FBI I still would have gotten involved, even if most people would have just ignored the situation."

All of Spencer's siblings decided after a few minutes of conversation that they liked Aaron Hotchner a lot and they sincerely hoped that his and their brother's relationship went somewhere, and perhaps, even turned permanent. They all knew that their brother must be lonely since he had never dated, although he had never said so, especially since they were in school for nine months of the year, even though the two youngest of them hadn't even started school yet and wouldn't until this coming term.

"We had better get going," Hotch said finally, "or we are going to miss our reservations."

"Don't come home early on our account," Leah told her brother with knowing smile causing Spencer to blush a bright red and Hotch to smirk.

"Yeah, we'll look after everyone, so don't worry about us and just enjoy yourselves. We do have your phone number and can contact you if we have any problems," Liya added with a smirk.

"I'll see you lot in the morning," Spencer said with a smile, as he took his mate's hand and pulled him towards the front door, Hotch following willingly.

~~~The Wizard and the Shapeshifter~~~

"So where are we going?" Spencer asked.

"I got us a reservation at a very nice restaurant on short notice," Hotch replied. "The owner owed me a favor because I won to case for him back when I was a federal prosecutor a few years back. I told him that after this his debt is paid in full."

"So if you were a federal prosecutor why did you suddenly join the FBI?" asked Spencer.

"Well, I became a lawyer, because my father was one and I thought that was what I wanted, but after just a couple of years of winning most of my cases I found out it wasn't really for me. I didn't like defending the guilty and I was doing that more often then helping innocent people who had been severely wronged. It was a conscious decision that I wanted to help other people who had been hurt for no other reason than they had something that somebody else wanted or just because. I knew that there were a lot of evil people in the world that would hurt someone who had never done anything to them for no other reason than because they could and I wanted to be one of the ones catching those types of people and putting them in prison for a very long time, so in that respect my degree as an attorney is not wasted as I know what it takes to get warrants and what kind of evidence makes a case. In any case, I graduated from the FBI Academy and spent a couple of years in another department to gain experience before I was placed in the BAU. I've only been with my current unit for a couple of years now, but I've done more good in those two years then I ever did as a federal prosecutor."

"So you just needed a change?" Spencer said and Hotch nodded, as he concentrated on the road. "I can certainly understand that, as me and my siblings grew up in Las Vegas after all and the house we're living in now was kind of a vacation home where my ancestors spent a considerable amount of time. I remember when my family visited when I was young, almost every summer actually and how it felt good to get out of Las Vegas, because of the heat in the summer."

"You have some very unusual names in your family as Chance, Bronwyn and Liya aren't exactly common," Hotch commented.

"Well, that's because of my parents," Spencer explained. "My father William Reid liked nice normal names like Andrew, Natalie, Leah and Hudson, but my mother preferred unusual names like Liya, Bronwyn, Chance and my own Spencer. A couple of the names my mother came up with are from authors of her favorite books as like me she loved to read just about anything, and as for Andrew, Natalie, Leah and Hudson, most of those are family names from the Reid side. My parents agreed when their first set of twins was born that they would each choose a name. As you can tell my mother named four of us and my father named four."

Reid shrugged as if to say that's just the way it was.

"So your mother named you. I mean Spencer is pretty uncommon, although not as much as Chance," Hotch commented.

"Yeah, she did, as I was named after one of her all-time favorite authors," Reid said, "and so was Bronwyn, but as for the other two she just liked the names."

"So why did you come to Virginia instead of staying in Vegas?" asked Hotch.

"Well, like you, I and my siblings needed a change and all of them agreed that getting out of the house that we had grown up in and had so many happy memories of our parents was a good thing. Staying in the same house would just have depressed us and we all needed a change of scenery after our father's funeral. When I mentioned the house in Virginia we all agreed that it was a good idea to move here for a fresh start. It was the right decision for all of us were getting depressed, my younger siblings in particular and now they're practically back to how they were before our parents deaths. I'm not saying that there haven't been some changes, for how could there not be after all as a loved one's death always changes the people they were close to, sometimes for the better, sometimes not."

While the story Spencer had told Hotch was true it wasn't the whole of it, but that would have to wait until they got to know each other better before he revealed the Reids magical heritage.

Hotch agreed once he had heard why Spencer and his siblings had moved to Virginia and he was glad that it had happened for the two of them might never have met otherwise, as the odds would have been astronomical if the Reids hadn't moved to Virginia.

"In any case, we've been much happier in the house in Virginia then we were in Las Vegas once our parents had passed away, because there aren't so many memories and the memories there are in that house are mostly happy ones."

The two of them continued to chat learning more about each other as Hotch drove and it wasn't long before they reached the restaurant where the older man had made a reservation.

~~~The Wizard and the Shapeshifter~~~

Several days later

Hotch panted heavily, his arms around his mate's slimly muscled form, holding him close as the two of them kissed, their tongues battling each other. Hotch knew distantly that they needed to stop for he was losing his control more rapidly then he would like, and he knew that if they didn't stop very soon and then he was going to throw the younger man over his shoulder and take him to bed whether he was ready for that or not.

The wolf and his chest whined in protest and wanted to continue to ravage his mate to kiss him for all he was worth, but Hotch's sense of right and wrong wrestled with his animal self and finally managed to wrench himself away from his mate.

This little makeout session had started innocently enough as the two of them had been watching a movie when Spencer had laid his head against his shoulder, his arm had come up automatically to encircle the younger man's waist. It hadn't been long after that, that the two of them were ignoring the movie and kissing each other, which had started out innocently enough at first, but had rapidly spiraled out-of-control, until the two of them had given into their intense feelings and attacked each other with their mouths and their tongues and their teeth. Normally, Hotch had no trouble controlling his rather healthy libido, but it had taken every ounce of willpower he possessed to break away from his mate before they reached the point of no return, which had been very close and way closer than he liked. The bond between them was already so intense that Hotch was surprised that Spencer couldn't feel it and that was part of the problem, as it was the wolf in him who was urging him to complete the bond that was between the two of them. The wolf in him was getting rather impatient and while he couldn't blame that part of him at all he know that if he didn't wait for Spencer's permission that it would be rape and not consensual between two adults, which he would never do, no matter how much he wanted to throw the younger man over his shoulder and take him to bed and have his wicked way with him he knew he could not, not without the younger man's permission. After he was done ravishing his mate's body he knew that Spencer would never want anybody else or even think about anybody in that way except for him. He intended to give his mate such an intense sexual experience, his first at the hands of another, as his mate had admitted that she was virgin, that Spencer would crave his touch constantly and would have no problem spending days in bed.

Now while Hotch had never seen his mate naked, he had no trouble imagining what Spencer looked like under his clothes and knew that he would enjoy licking every single part of his mate's body, as well as leaving little bite marks, which unfortunately, would fade after a couple of weeks, but would soon be replaced if he had any say in the matter. Inwardly Hotch was very pleased at his mate's reactions and how he was still breathing rather heavily, which meant that Spencer was not as indifferent to his advances as he had feared. Of course, he knew very well that his mate was bisexual, which meant absolutely nothing unless Spencer found him attractive, which was apparently the case if the way he had reacted to their makeout session was any indication, not to mention the other times he had noticed that his mate was indeed attracted to him, which he took as a very good sign. Spencer's rather intense panting and glazed look gave Hotch hope that soon he would be allowed to take his mate too bed and complete the bond. For that pleasure and the intense sexual release he knew it would bring he could wait an eternity, even if the wolf in him violently disagreed with that thought.

"Whoah! That was intense," Spencer panted, as he leaned against the back of the sofa trying to regain his breath and watched his mate through hooded eyes as Aaron did the same.

"Yes, it was," Hotch agreed as calmly as possible, although at the moment all he and the wolf in him wanted to do was attack his mate again and take him upstairs so he could make love to him for days on end, but unfortunately, he was going to have to wait until his, Spencer indicated that he was ready for that step, which could be months from now and though he usually had a will of iron and endless patience Hotch wasn't sure that he could last that long, simply because he craved his mate so intensely, that it was very hard to resist just making love to him, but he would until it was time to let go of his control completely. "I can honestly say if I hadn't managed to wrench myself away from you just now we would even now be laying in your bed or at least naked here on the couch and I would be making love to you, as I was losing more control than I would have liked."

Spencer blushed at that, but he knew that Aaron was being very sincere and that made him feel all warm and good inside a feeling that he wasn't very familiar with, but could learn to like it a lot and very quickly.

"Normally, I have a will of iron and have no trouble controlling myself when it comes to having sex, but with you it is very different and just being close to you is enough to make me crave you intensely," Hotch told the younger man watched as he blushed again.

Spencer blushed easily it seemed and it was a fact that Hotch hoped would always be true, because he found it particularly endearing, at how his mate was so easily embarrassed.

"You make me feel things that I've never felt before," Spencer admitted shyly. "I've never felt such intense feelings in all my life, as I'm usually the type of person that is very calm and controlled when it comes to my emotions. You however, have no trouble making me lose my normal calmness and you can get under my guard far faster than anybody else has ever been able to do, which I'm not saying is a bad thing and in fact it could turn out to be a very good thing."

Hotch said nothing simply held out his arms in invitation and Spencer immediately scooted over until Aaron's arms were around him tenderly and protectively, making him feel loved, warm and safe. Hotch kissed Spencer on the forehead not daring to kiss him on the lips, just yet because he knew he would lose his control completely if he did

"I will love you for the rest of my life," Hotch told his mate softly being completely forthright and totally honest. "Even if you were to throw me out because you say you aren't in love with me I will never be able to love another. I'm not going to beg for you to decide in my favor and although it's killing me I will give you the time you need to make a decision on your own even if that takes you the next six months."

"I don't believe it will be that long," Spencer told Hotch quietly kissing his cheek. "In fact I know it won't be that long, because I've already started to develop feelings for you and I just need time to sort them out before we go any farther in our relationship."

Hotch immediately brightened at that, but simply kissed his mate on his forehead again to let him know that he understood and would give him all the time that he required to sort out his feelings. Hotch knew that his mate was a virgin and had never been in love before, not a romantic love anyway, so he wasn't sure what it truly felt like, so he knew that it would take his mate time to truly understand that he was falling in love and he would give Spencer that time, no matter how much the wolf in his chest protested.

"Can I see your wolf form?" Spencer asked suddenly lifting his head from where he'd had it buried in Hotch's neck.

"Of course, but why did you suddenly bring it up now?" asked Hotch curiously. "It's not that I mind showing you my wolf form and in fact I enjoy changing on a regular basis and running through the woods when I have time."

"Well, I've never seen a Shifter change shape before," Spencer admitted blush and shyly. "I've always found Shifters fascinating, but I've never been close enough to one ask them to change forms for me so I can see the process."

Ah, Hotch thought, that explained it. It was Spencer's scientific curiosity taking over. Well, he would be happy to comply with his mate's request in this and one of the reasons was because he would have to undress completely before he changed and he was anxious to see his mate's reaction to his totally naked body before he turned into a wolf. It was only right that he warned Spencer however, even if his mate decided that he wasn't ready to see him naked.

"You realize I'll have to undress completely?" Hotch warned his mate who nodded blushing again.

"I know," Spencer said a little shyly, but looking directly into Hotch's brown eyes, as he replied, "but if we're going to be in a permanent relationship then I need to get used to seeing your naked body anyway and this seems like a good place to start."

Hotch immediately perked up at his mate's words, as he knew with that that statement that Spencer and him were indeed going to be together forever, and that his mate just needed a little time to sort out his feelings and truly realize that he was in love and that it wasn't just to crush that he was developing. Spencer just needed time to realize that he had meant what he said about loving him and that nothing was going to change his feeling no matter what.

"Alright then," Hotch said immediately getting up off the sofa where he immediately started stripping himself of his clothes. Soon his shirt, then his pants, socks and shoes were on the floor and all that was left was his underwear.

Hotch stood there for a long moment and couldn't help how his cock stood even more at attention as Spencer gazed at his broad well-muscled chest obviously pleased with what he was seeing if his blush was any indication.

"You're welcome to touch me anywhere you like," Hotch offered and Spencer's blush intensified, which Hotch hadn't believed was possible, since his mate was already as red as a tomato.

Spencer rose from the couch where he was sitting and slowly walked forward his gaze never leaving Hotch's well muscled chest.

Finally after what seemed like forever, but was really less than a minute Spencer reached out a hand and touched Hotch's chest, feeling the very well defined muscles that made him almost drool. He had never admitted to anyone but he had always had a thing for a man's well muscled chest and Aaron had a very fine one, which he wouldn't mind licking and nipping his way down and he'd had intense sexual dreams the last few days of doing that very thing until he reached the ultimate prize, the older man's cock, which he was sure was much bigger and more defined then his own, considering the size of the rest of him.

Aaron also had a washboard stomach that showed Spencer that he took pains to keep in shape, since you definitely didn't get one if you didn't exercise.

"Like what you see?" Hotch asked with a smirk.

"Oh, yes," Spencer breathed out so quietly that Hotch barely heard him, even with his enhanced wolf hearing.

"Good, but now I had better change or we are going to be making love right here on the floor," Hotch told him roughly giving Spencer a quick, rough, demanding kiss on the lips before forcing himself to step away.

Hotch removed his underwear in one swift motion and Spencer couldn't help letting his eyes move downwards until he was staring at Aaron's long, thick, well defined cock, which he somehow knew would feel absolutely heavenly once it was inserted into his body as the friction alone...

Spencer's eyes nearly rolled back in his head at that thought, but he managed to stop himself from reacting so visibly

Spencer watched as Aaron swiftly changed forms and observed how it was his arms, legs, chest and really his whole body that started develop fur first, which was all black the same color as Aaron's hair, and then how his feet begin to develop into paws as did his hands, how his face started to change into a snout and his eyes changed from their normal warm brown hue to yellow.

Finally after what was less than a minute later a large black wolf stood on all for paws shaking himself and then just looking at the man standing in front of him staring at him in fascination.

Finally the wolf whined plaintively, as if asking are you okay and when he did Spencer shook himself and slowly stepped forward a few paces at a time until he was mere inches away.

"Can I touch you?" Spencer asked quietly.

The black wolf moved forward a few steps and although he was quite large Spencer was not afraid, so stayed where he was and allowed the wolf to approach him, since he knew very well that the wolf was actually one Aaron Hotchner.

Finally the wolf's head butted against his hand and Spencer took that as permission it was began to scratch behind the wolf's neck vigorously. "Your fur is so stiff and bristly on top, but soft and fine underneath, just like a real wolf's is, which I suppose makes sense in retrospect," Spencer said after a few moments of scratching.

Hotch butted his head against Spencer's hand again, as if encouraging is mate to keep scratching, which felt absolutely wonderful and made his eyes cross in pleasure.

"You are absolutely gorgeous, did you know that?" Spencer told the wolf softly.

He could allow his mate to scratch him all day, but saw how Spencer was examining his body with open curiosity and Hotch knew that his mate was comparing his wolf form to that of a real one. In most ways Shifter wolves were exactly the same as their animal counterpart or at least they were while they were in this form, although there were a few differences.

Finally the wolf that was Hotch stepped away and Spencer took that as his cue to standup and watch as the wolf swiftly changed and started to develop human legs, arms, hands and feet, bones breaking at the joints and then reforming. Spencer watched how the wolf's fur disappeared and how his snout receded and started to turn back into a human one. Finally less then a minute later, Hotch was again standing before his mate in his human form. Of course, he was also completely naked.

Spencer blushed, as he gazed at Aaron's naked form, but finally looked away and requested, "Would you mind getting dressed and then I have so many questions and you being naked is a very big distraction."

Hotch did as he was asked without comment, although he would have preferred to stay buck naked, just so he could continue to watch his mate's reaction at his body, but he knew that there would be plenty of time for that kind of thing later once the two of them had fully bonded.

"So what kind of questions do you have for me?" asked Hotch, as he sat back down in his previous spot on the couch with Spencer joining him a minute later.

Spencer look directly into Hotch's face and said, "Well, I was wondering if changing into your wolf form was painful. It didn't look like it was, but then you never know unless you ask."

Hotch was surprised at the question, although he knew he shouldn't have been, since his mate was a very gentle and compassionate man, although he had a temper just like everybody did. In the few days they had known each other he hadn't seen Spencer lose his temper once, except when he had learned what had really happened to his sister, which Hotch thought was perfectly understandable, as he would have felt the same way if it had been one of his sisters.

"No, it's not painful at all," Hotch promised him kissing his mate on the cheek. "Its so swift that you really don't have time to feel anything, well, except the fur itches like crazy when it comes in, but that only lasts for a few seconds and so it is bearable."

"I'm glad," Spencer said, "as I don't think I could bear to see you in pain every time you changed forms. I would like to let you know that I don't mind if you change into your wolf form frequently, even if you are just padding around the house, since I think you are absolutely breathtaking and the most magnificent thing I have ever seen in my life."

"Thank you, for the compliment," Hotch said with a wide smile glad to know that his mate accepted all of him, including his wolf form, not that he had expected anything else, but it was still good to know and made him fall even more in love with Spencer Reid then he had been before, even if he hadn't believed that was possible.

"It might be a compliment, but it's also nothing but the absolute truth," Spencer told Hotch kissing him on the cheek.

"I do like to change frequently and I fall asleep on the couch in my apartment a lot in my wolf form," Hotch said.

"Well, you're welcome to do that here, since it won't be any trouble to clean up the shed fur," Spencer told him kissing Hotch on the lips briefly in what was really no more then a peck, but still it sent intense lust and desire through Hotch's form and he had no idea how he was going to last until his mate gave him the go-ahead to make love to him.

"I had better go, it's getting late," Hotch said, "and unfortunately, I have to go into work tomorrow."

"I'll show you out and I'll see you tomorrow unless you text me that you'll be out of town," Spencer said, as he rose from the sofa and began to walk towards the front door Hotch following. It was indeed late and all Hotch really wanted to do was stay the entire night, but knew it wasn't a good idea, as he wouldn't be able to stop himself from taking Spencer to bed whether the younger man was ready or not, so it was just better to leave to prevent that from occurring. At least that was what he kept telling himself as his mate escorted him to the front door.

"I'll probably see you tomorrow," Hotch told a younger man who nodded.

"I'll be waiting," Spencer promised him opening the front door and waited for Hotch to walk outside before closing it firmly behind him.

Once the other man was gone Spencer leaned his back against the front door and wondered how he had fallen in love with Aaron Hotchner so quickly.

~~~The Wizard and the Shapeshifter~~~

"Aaron, I realize that we've only known each other for a few weeks, but I want you to know that I'm ready to take our relationship to the next level and make it a permanent one," Spencer announced suddenly in a quiet tone of voice.

Hotch stared at him in astonishment for he had not been expecting Spencer's quiet words as he figured it would be at least another month or so before the two of them made love. Hotch knew that he had been extremely lucky the last couple of weeks as the team had only been called on one case and that one had been local, so he had been able to be home each night and spend more time with Spencer, even if it was extremely late. Spencer had already made it clear that he was welcome here at any hour and that he could always sleep in the next day since he wasn't working at the moment and wouldn't be until all his siblings went back to school in a few weeks.

"Are you sure?" asked Hotch taking a younger man into his arms and kissing him passionately. "Believe me, I would like nothing more, but it's only been a little over two weeks."

"I'm sure," Spencer told him his voice husky. "Unlike most people I don't have a bad or even average relationship to get over, because neither boys or girls ever paid me any attention while I was in school, but that was only because they claimed that I showed off when it came to answering questions correctly before anybody else in class and also turning in homework with perfect scores every single time. Besides, I fell in love with you the moment I touched your chest when you were standing almost completely naked about to change into your wolf shape. I didn't realize it for awhile, but when I touched your chest that did something to me. Touching you like that felt so right, so perfect and at the time I did not completely understand why and I definitely didn't realize that I had fallen completely in love with you, even though it only been a few days."

"Those people probably felt threatened at the fact that you were so intelligent and didn't seem to put any effect into your studies and also so nice," Hotch said not responding for a moment to Spencer's declaration that he had fallen in love with him the moment he had touched his bare chest, although the wolf with him was panting and obviously eager to take his mate and make love to him, but then the man was as well.

Spencer nodded agreeing with what Hotch had just said but then the older man continued, "And Spencer I've been in love with you ever since the first time I laid eyes on you as hard as that is for most people to accept, even those who believe in the True Mate Bond. These last few weeks, have been heaven, as just being near you causes that effect, even if it's also been extremely hard for me to control myself."

"You're probably right, about the other students I went to school with," Spencer agreed with the smile kissing Hotch again. "I don't know why I should have to dumb down just to make other children happy with me, but I certainly didn't gain any friends."

"They were just jealous that's all. Teenagers don't like to be shown up and neither do a lot of adults," Hotch said.

"They were, not that that matters to me," Spencer said with a shrug. "As for what you said

a minute ago I do believe in true love because I know now that I started falling in love with you after you brought Leah home and saved her from Alex, even if he really didn't mean any harm. Before I met you my family has always been enough for me to be happy, but now I know I would never be happy unless you were a permanent part of my life."

Hotch was extremely happy to hear that and he smiled kissing his mate on the forehead.

"In any case, before I allow you to take me upstairs there's a few things I need to tell you about my family. Something that amounts to a family secret. If I tell you this, then our relationship will be a permanent one, because I would never tell anybody I was just casually dating. This is not the kind of secret you can share with just a casual acquaintance and I would never reveal this secret unless I planned on spending the rest of my life with them."

The last part of Spencer's sentence about spending the rest of his life with him was music to Hotch's ears and made him deliriously happy, although he did wonder what kind of secret Spencer would be revealing. Well, he supposed that he would find out in just a moment.

"I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you and I promise you that whatever you have to reveal will not change my feelings for you in the slightest," Hotch promised. "As you know when a Shifter finds a mate it is for life, and now that you have announced that you are ready to take the next step I can't wait to take you upstairs and show you how much I love you."

Spencer blushed at that, but walked into Aaron's waiting arms where he felt safe, loved and protected as if nothing could ever hurt him so long as Aaron's arms were around him.

"Alright then, let's go sit in the den, so I can tell you the Reid family secret," Spencer said.

The two men walked into the den and both sat on the couch as close together as they could get.

"So what's his family secret that you need to reveal?" asked Hotch with a raised eyebrow, making sure that his thigh was up against Spencer's where the other man could feel his body heat even through the material of both their pants and also making sure to have his hand on Spencer's bare arm knowing that this would help steady his mate in whatever he was about to reveal.

"I've been trying to figure out how to tell you this since a few days after I met you," began Spencer a little nervously, although the physical contact with his mate's body helped steady him and give him the courage for what he was about to say

Potters always charged ahead, Spencer thought, and damn the consequences. Of course, he was a Reid not a Potter, but still he did have Potter blood through his mother.

"Tell me what you know about magic? Not stage magic, but real magic."

"What do you mean by magic?" Hotch asked carefully surprised at what Spencer had said knowing that he had asked the question for a reason.

"I mean magic, that have effects on the visible world that can't be explained by science. For example lifting objects without the use of hands or invisible wires, but by the power of the energy that is within your body, this energy being known as magic."

Spencer got up from where he was sitting, although he was sorry to lose contact with Aaron and took out a long slender stick out of a hidden wand holder that was invisible so long as the wand was sheathed.

Hotch watched in amazement as Spencer took out a long slender stick that was made of some kind of dark wood from some kind of invisible holder that appeared as soon as it was removed.

"This is a wand," Spencer explained calmly holding it out to his mate who took the hint and grabbed it. As soon as his hand made contact Spencer waited for him to wave it around and Hotch did so feeling rather silly.

"Now as you see you're not getting any reaction from it because you don't have the magic but in the hands of a witch or wizard it is a totally different story," Spencer explained. "To you the wand you hold in your hand is nothing more then a stick of inert wood, too me, however…"

Spencer took his wand back from Hotch and then very calmly cast several spells, saying the words aloud for the benefit of his audience, not because he needed to.

"Accio, Aaron's coffee," Spencer said.

Hotch watched in amazement as his coffee cup lifted from the end table that it had been sitting on and headed towards Spencer who calmly caught it before banishing it back to where it had been.

"Wingardium Leviosa!" Spencer intoned and Hotch was startled as the entire couch he was sitting on lifted into the air until it was hovering several feet above the floor.

Spencer set the couch back where it had originally been gently and then said, "Orchideous!" and a dozen red roses popped out the end of his wand.

Spencer handed the roses to the other man shyly and Hotch took them reverently knowing that this was Spencer's way of telling him silently that he loved him

"Here let me get to a vase with water for those so that they don't wilt," Spencer said, as he calmly intoned, "Accio, flower vase!"

Hotch watched in amazement as a very beautiful crystal vase came speeding towards Spencer from where it had been stored on top of the fridge, "Aguamenti!" Spencer said pointing his wand over the rim of the vase and immediately a jet of water came out of the tip and filled up the vase very quickly.

"Here you go," Spencer said handing the vase to Hotch after ending the charm once the vase was halfway full.

"Thank you," Hotch said his voice a little strained, but that was only because what he had seen had shocked him to the core.

Hotch took the vase and put the roses into it, before placing it on the coffee table.

"I hope this display hasn't frightened you or made you leery of me or worse makes you think that I and my family are devils that need to be burned at the stake like they did in the middle ages with supposed witchcraft practitioners for losing you now would kill me on the inside," Spencer said putting his wand away and coming to sit down beside Hotch again.

Spencer voice was so totally insecure that it made Hotch immediately react, even while his mind was still reeling and trying to come to terms with what he had seen.

"Never!" Hotch's exclaimed taking his mate into his arms and placing Spencer's head against his shoulder. "When I said I loved you I meant it. Yes, what you showed me shocked me and we are going to have to have a long discussion, but I will not abandon you, as leaving you just because you have what you call magic is not going to happen."

Spencer breathed easier, relieved and said quietly, "Thank you, Aaron."

"There's no need to thank me, for my love is neverending, but you're welcome all the same," Hotch said, practically pulling the other man onto his lap. "If I were to put conditions on loving you, then that's not really love at all, for when you truly love someone, you love them completely despite their faults or their weaknesses or their unusual talents. To abandon someone just because they have a talent that you didn't expect or didn't believe existed until you were shown of is no reason abandon someone you love."

"Not every muggle like yourself would agree with you," Spencer told the older man quietly.

"Muggle?" asked Hotch curiously.

"It just means a nonmagical person," Reid explained calmly burying his head into Hotch's chest and inhaling his scent. "That's what those without magic are called by those that do have it."

"Oh," Hotch said. "I hate to ask this, but I need to know. What would you have done if I hadn't accepted that magic was real or if I had reacted badly?"

"Well, we have very strict secrecy laws in the magical community," Spencer explained lifting his head to give his mate a kiss on the cheek. "While it is not at all unusual for somebody from a magical family to marry a muggle, or even for two muggle parents to produce a magical child, we have very strict laws about who can know. Since you and I are going to become permanent partners and might even end up getting married sometime in the future, it is not against the law for you to know about magic. However, your siblings that you told me about are not allowed to know, even though they are your family."

"And if we adopt pups in a few years?" asked Hotch.

"Then of course, they are allowed to know, since they would be our immediate family and they will be living in the same house. The muggle parents of a magical child would have to know about magic, so that the child can be given the option to be sent to a magical school to learn how to control his or her powers. Of course, a lot of magical children are home taught, either because the parents can't afford the school fees or because the parents feel that this is the best option for their children. Being home taught is the harder way to do it as there are more distractions and you have to take your qualifying tests at the ministry."

"So it's like the whole secret community," Hotch said.

"Oh, yes, we have our own healthcare, banking, educational system and once you are qualified our own jobs and even our own money thrown in for good measure. Of course, many witches and wizards at least here in America work muggle jobs and not magical ones and sometimes they even do both, like for example an Auror can also be a cop and on the local force, because those two jobs coincide and require the same set of skills."

"How many witches and wizards are there just in the USA?" asked Hotch.

"I don't really know, but compared to muggles we are a small community. There're billions of muggles and also billions of shapeshifters, but they're only maybe a million witches and wizards all over the world and that's only a rough estimate," Spencer said. "As I said we are a rather small community, which is one of the reasons we go so far to keep magic a secret from every day people or Shifters."

"Yes, I can see why your people have created a whole secret community," Hotch mumbled, as he thought about it.

He was well versed in history and knew very well what happened to minority groups. If the magical community was ever discovered they would be hunted down and expected to either solve the worlds problems or killed and thousands, perhaps, tens of thousands Shifters or Normals, along with witches and wizards would suffer as a result. It would be a massive attack and would result in hundreds of thousands deaths, that had never before been seen in history. It would make World War II look like a minor skirmish.

"I'll tell you more about the wizarding world at a later date, but I believe that you were going to throw me over your shoulder and take me to bed," Spencer said his voice silky with lust and desire.

Hotch looked up at Spencer saw he was serious and beamed.

"Absolutely! I've been looking forward to this day for the last couple of weeks, although I thought it would be at least another month or two before you agreed to let me take you to bed," Hotch said, rising from where he was sitting on the sofa and pulling Spencer to his feet where he easily picked him up in his arms and headed for the stairs at a rapid pace and towards Spencer's bedroom on the fourth floor.

"My! You're a big strong man aren't you?" Spencer teased his mate, even as he cuddled in his arms quite comfortably. "I'm not exactly a lightweight, although I realize that I don't have your masculinity."

The wolf in Hotch's chest growled in anticipation of what was about to occur and felt that he had been waiting too long as it was to make love to the man he had adored since the minute they had met, even if he knew logically it had only been a couple of weeks.

"Shapeshifters are stronger than they look, as we take after our animal counterpart," Hotch answered, even as he headed upstairs at a rapid pace to Spencer's bedroom that was on the fourth floor, "so to me you are rather light and no trouble for me to carry."

Spencer didn't answer, as he was to busy burying his head into his mate's chest and kissing him on the side of his neck where the skin was exposed.

"Stop that! Unless you want me to drop you that is. Once we get to what is now our bedroom you are welcome to continue what you started," Hotch ordered gruffly his voice filled with lust, desire and longing.

Spencer stopped kissing the side of his mate's neck and tried to wait patiently as Aaron walked up the stairs.

Finally what seemed like an eternity later, but was really less than three minutes Hotch opened the door to Spencer's bedroom and entered.

Once he had put Spencer down on the bed, he closed the door and locked it, as he didn't want any interference from Spencer's brothers and sisters.

"Will your siblings be okay by themselves?" asked Hotch.

"Yes, they will as there is plenty of food in the house, and all of us know how to cook to some degree, so if we want to spend days up here that's fine with me. If they really need anything all they have to do is knock on the door as I would never keep them out if it's some kind of an emergency," Spencer said. "If they want to order pizza or some other takeout, we also keep muggle money in a jar in the kitchen and there's plenty in there for them to be able to eat out for the rest of the month before I would even need to think about replenishing it.

"Good!" Hotch growled pleased. "Because I plan on keeping you in bed the entire weekend, although I do need to go back to work on Monday."

"Which will give me a chance to recover so that we can do it again," Spencer said with a smile.

"Oh, we will be spending a lot of time in bed for the foreseeable future, and in fact you better be prepared to spend most of your free time in bed, because since I'll be out of town a lot I intend to keep you naked and my prisoner when I'm not out of town on a case," Hotch told his mate quite seriously with a smirk. "If you knew how many intense sexual dreams I've been having ever since we met just a little bit over two weeks ago, you would know why I don't intend to let you out of bed while I'm here."

"I won't object, I promise you," Spencer assured him, even as he walked into his mate's protective and loving embrace. "However, you will need to feed me at regular intervals and also allow bathroom breaks."

"Yes, I suppose those are necessary," Hotch admitted reluctantly, "but for the rest of the weekend those are the only two exceptions, as I won't be surprised that when I go in on Monday if the team is called on a case in some city immediately. This has been the best two weeks of my life, but these quiet periods for our unit never last very long and it's been really quiet for the last couple of weeks as we haven't had to fly anywhere. The one case we have had was in Washington and so we just drove, which means I could see you most nights after I finished working."

"Okay, then for the next 60 hours I am yours," Spencer said.

"You are mine for the rest of our time in this world," Hotch growled looking extremely possessive.

"And you are mine," Spencer told him quietly, but sincerely, stroking Hotch's cheek tenderly with his thumb in a calming gesture. "All I meant was that I agree with your plan to keep me in bed until you have to go into work on Monday, because I promise you that I will always be yours. Once my siblings go back to school, including Hudson and Bronwyn, I will also have to go back to work, but there's no need to worry about that right this minute."

Hotch looked satisfied with his mate's answer and the wolf in his chest growled and ordered him to get on with it sounding extremely impatient and Hotch couldn't blame the wolf in him a bit, especially not when his mate stood just mere inches from him looking so utterly delectable. His mate's dark brown hair was slightly long going down past the nape of his neck, as if he had put off seeing a barber for just a little. Spencer's throat however, was very visible and just seeing all that totally white skin was giving the wolf in him ideas of what he'd like to do to his mate. The wolf in his chest was drooling and looking extremely ferocious, but also so eager, that he was prancing in place, more than ready for Hotch to get on with it.

We must be gentle, Hotch told the wolf in him firmly. We don't want to hurt him, especially not his first time. We must make his first sexual experience so spectacular that he won't mind spending quite a bit of time in bed for the foreseeable future.

The wolf in his chest whined, but calmed down visibly and Hotch was glad, because it would be much harder to be gentle, if the wolf in him was trying his best to take control.

"Once we make love I will never allow you to leave me," Hotch told the younger man quietly his voice intense, his eyes turning the yellow of the wolf and had a feral gleam in them. "It's true that I can feel the pull of the mate bond and since we're so close it is at least triply intense, however, the bond is not complete until we make love for the first time and until we do you have a choice. Once I fully penetrate you and release my semen into your body for the first time, our connection will intensify by several degrees and you should be able to feel it just like I do, even though you are not a Shifter and once that happens the bond is complete. Also once you do feel this connection you will know that the two of us belong together for the rest of our time on this Earth and nothing and I mean nothing will ever separate us, save for the death of one of us."

"Let's get started then," Spencer said, as his eager hands, with their long dextrous fingers reached up to unbutton his mate's shirt and Hotch didn't bother to stop him, since he was eagerly anticipating his mate undressing him and could hardly wait to do the same to Spencer. "I know you are very eager to make love to me, but believe me, I've been having a few extremely intense sexual dreams of my own and I am just as eager as you are. I know you are an alpha male because of your rather forceful personality and would probably prefer the dominant position, which is fine with me, since I am definitely not as I'm sure you know."

"I do prefer to be on top, but I don't mind being on the bottom occasionally so long as it is with you," Hotch said a concession he had never made with his ex-wife or any other woman that he'd had sex with, because as Spencer had worked out for himself he was an alpha male and they preferred to be in control at all times only ceding it to someone they trusted absolutely, which he did when it came to his mate knowing that the other man would never betray him.

Spencer smiled at him obviously happy at the news. Spencer finished removing Aaron's shirt and Hotch let it fall to the floor not particularly caring where it landed. Spencer then unbuttoned his pants and pushed then down far enough so that they would fall the rest of the way on their own and finally all that was left was his underwear.

Spencer stared at Aaron's crouch area for the bulge of his cock was very visible against the cotton of his boxers. Spencer licked his bottom lip with his tongue and realized he couldn't wait to feel Aaron's penis in his body.

"Like what you see?" asked Hotch with a smirk his voice thick with desire and lust already knowing the answer, since Spencer had already seen his totally naked body, not too long ago when his mate had asked to see him in his wolf shape and his reaction at the way he touched his chest had told Aaron then that they would be completing the bond that was between them, although he hadn't expected it would be this soon.

"Yes," Spencer admitted softly, but also a little nervously licking his bottom lip again, which Hotch thought was one of the most sensual things he had ever seen.

"You don't ever have to be ashamed of admitting your thoughts on any subject to me, as I always want to know what you're thinking," Hotch told Spencer firmly.

Hotch knew that Spencer would get over his shyness when it came to talking about sex once they started having it regularly, but by his mate's own shy admission, a week ago, he was a virgin and Hotch was determined to make his first sexual experience as gentle, tender and loving as possible, so that Spencer would have no trouble repeating the act as often as time allowed. Besides, he loved his mate so much that he wanted to make his first sexual experience one that he would never forget.

"I'll work on that," Reid promised with a shy smile.

As they had been bantering back and forth, Hotch had gotten Spencer's shirt off, as well as his pants so that both of them were now naked except for their underwear.

Both men stared at each other for a moment and then Spencer waved a hand and the bed magically unmade itself and was turned down.

Hotch watched this in amazement and immediately noted that his mate hadn't uttered a word or even used a wand and came to conclusion that Spencer had only said his spells out loud in order for him to accept that magic was real easier. Hotch thought that it was logical that young witches and wizards probably learned how to do their spells out loud with a wand first and then when they were older, they probably worked on their silent incantations, since it was a rather useful skill to acquire. In the muggle world a wand would be very visible, but somebody who could do wandless magic would be able to do it in front of people and they would never notice. Hotch was sure that just like anything else magic took practice and he was also sure that some spells were relatively simple to cast while others were likely much more difficult and therefore, took more practice.

Spencer sat down on the edge of his bed and swung his legs over, before laying down spreading his legs wide after dropping his briefs to the floor and Hotch immediately followed his mate's example also removing his boxers.

"I love you so much and I shall never stop," Hotch told his mate being totally sincere. "You allowing me to make love to you this soon into our relationship is a gift I shall never forget or be able to repay."

"Just make love to me, Aaron," Spencer almost mewled looking pathetically eager, wiggling beneath his mate's much larger frame enticingly causing Hotch to growl, as lust and desire swelled through his form at his, Spencer's little display.

"It will be an absolute pleasure," Hotch murmured, as he started to run gentle hands over his mate's very slimly muscled body, using in his mouth to suck on one of his nipples, while the other one ran up and down his mate's outer thigh gently pinching the skin.

Spencer mewled softly again and begin to buck his hips upwards begging Hotch to go faster silently.

"You want me to go faster, hm?" Hotch chuckled understanding his mate's silent request and also his mate's eagerness, since he felt the same. Spencer nodded eagerly. "And here I thought I'd take my time so that you would get used to having sex. I want to make this the most pleasurable experience of your life, so you won't object to staying in bed for days at a time."

"Just get on with it, Aaron, I feel like I'm going to explode if you don't enter me in the next few minutes, even though you've hardly done anything to my body yet. My body just seems to respond to your gentle ministrations and is eager for you to enter it for the first time. You don't have time for foreplay at the moment, so save it for later. I promise I don't care if you go fast or take your time I will enjoy whatever you choose to do to my body and am very eagerly anticipating the intense pleasure I know I'm going to feel, since you already have me near the edge and you've hardly done anything to me yet."

"Alright then," Hotch agreed eagerly, since Spencer wanted him so badly he wasn't about to deny his mate's demand and the truth was he wasn't sure how long he could hold out himself despite his vaunted patience and normally iron will, as the wolf within him was very eager to make love to his mate. He was very glad that Spencer had made his desires known, for although he had been determined to wait even six months if it had been necessary he had been reaching the end of his rope even after just 2 1/2 weeks, so he was extremely glad that his mate had spoken up. "We can save the foreplay for another time."

Hotch positioned himself at his mate's entrance, which was highly visible thanks to the nice plump pillow that was shoved under his hips and Hotch wondered briefly how his mate knew to do that since he was a virgin, but shoved it to the back of his mind to ask Spencer at a later date.

"Do you have any lube?" asked Hotch suddenly as he didn't want to do a rough penetration this first time and therefore, lube was required.

"In the drawer of the bedside table," Spencer said in a strained tone of voice, which Hotch was pleased to note, because that meant the other man desired him, just as much as he did his mate. Really he had hardly done anything at all yet, although that was about to change if he had any say in the matter. Which he did, because from now on Spencer was his alone, so he had a great deal to say as a matter of fact.

Hotch reached over and opened the drawer of the bedside table and took out the small bottle of lube that was in it. Hotch popped off the top without bothering to unscrew it and squeezed some onto his hand. Once that was done he rubbed his hands together and then ran them over his cock until it was coated quite thoroughly.

Hotch knew that the wolf within him, as well as his body were so eager for his mate that he didn't even have time to prepare him, using lube coated fingers and so he would try to be as gentle as he could be, when he pushed his cock inside his mate's body for the very first time. He knew that Spencer was just as eager as he was, but he was sure that his mate didn't know about the pain that would be involved when his cock penetrated his hole, even if it only lasted for a very short amount of time and it would be intense sexual pleasure soon after that. There would always be a little bit of pain involved whenever they made love simply because two men weren't designed to have sex with each other, but it would always be very brief.

Once Hotch was sure that this first penetration would be as painless as he could possibly make it he repositioned his cock and pushed it in slowly, an inch at a time, as he wanted to give his mate a few minutes to get used to the intrusion of something as big as his penis. Hotch knew from experience that a man's anus was elastic and would stretch with just a little bit of pain and then go back to its normal size once a man's cock was removed as a woman's vagina was exactly the same.

Spencer whimpered in pain and Hotch stilled trying not to move until his mate indicated that he was ready for him to continue.

Finally after what seemed like an eternity, but was really only a minute or two Spencer pleaded his voice strained and hoarse, "More, Aaron! More! Please, Merlin, finish what you started before I explode from this feeling in my lower regions."

Hotch didn't respond verbally, but obeyed immediately and rammed his cock in the last few inches, as far as it would go, so that he was completely sheathed in his mate's body for the very first time. Oh! This was absolute perfection! Hotch thought his mate's passage welcoming him with its warmth. His cock was the perfect size for Spencer's body and his mate's passage squeezed his cock as if welcoming it home and Hotch knew that was because the two of them were made for each other.

"Ohhh!" Hotch groaned radiating intense satisfaction the wolf part of him howling's its satisfaction and pleasure silently in his chest and also anticipation of what was about to happen next. "Your passage is so tight, so utterly perfect that I would like to stay inside you for days at a time. The way your body immediately responds to mine, and way your passage squeezes my cock..."

Hotch groaned needily again, unable to continue, or hold back his seed anymore, so he gave in and released his semen into his mate's body for the very first time. As soon as he did he felt the bond that had been present between them for several weeks, even if he was the only one that had felt it, reach its final stage and snap into place in his soul, even as he reached the peak of his climax going over the edge as his cock kept spurting, stream after stream of his seed into his mate's body.

Hotch thought somewhat distantly, that if Spencer was female he would soon be pregnant with at least half a dozen pups, as he had never in his entire life spurted so much seed into anybody, although he had to admit that usually he used a condom during those sexual encounters, particularly with females, even if they promised they were on the pill as he took no chances of some woman that he had sex with once or twice getting pregnant. Of course, when he'd had sex with men, although this had only happened a few times and had been mostly blowjobs, he didn't worry about getting a man pregnant since it went against genetics.

Hotch collapsed on top of his, Spencer's body even as his climax continued to go through him and felt his mate's body also shuddering from his first ever climax at the hands of another. The two of them just lay there simply vibrating together for what seemed like forever, but was really only a few minutes.

"That was spectacular and I know it will only get better the more we practice and I know we intend to practice a lot," Spencer said once he had caught his breath, kissing the side of Hotch's neck.

"Oh, I would keep you in bed for a year if I could," Hotch said with an absolutely shit-eating grin. "I know that's not really feasible, but believe me, I dream of actually being able to do something like that and Spencer, just so you don't have any doubts if I enjoyed myself let me assure you it was spectacular for me as well. I was being totally forthright when I told you that your passage was so tight and the perfect size for my cock. I also just love the way your body responds to mine and the little mewls, groans, whimpers and purrs you made drove me absolutely wild with lust and desire. Normally, I am able to hold out for much longer before reaching my climax and having my partner do the same, but not this time, because I desired you to much. The wolf in me was howling and urging me to do what it's been wanting me to do for the past 2 1/2 weeks."

Spencer blushed, for he knew that Aaron was being totally honest and wasn't just saying the words to make him feel better. "I'm glad that I made you so happy, because you certainly pleasured me beyond my wildest dreams. You were so patient and gentle and thought of my needs before your own, which I know must have been extremely difficult for you. Not many other people would have done that, or been so understanding with the fact that I was a virgin, so I thank you for making this the best experience of my life."

"You're welcome, although I have to say that I have never had such a strong climax in my entire life, not even when I was a teenager," Hotch informed the younger man, being totally honest. "In fact, if you want to know the truth it was really three climaxes close together. Also I never knew I could produce so much seed at one time because I must've spurted my cock into your body at least a dozen times and just when I thought my cock was done, another spurt would erupt out of the tip, before I could withdraw myself from you."

Spencer blushed again for some reason obscenely pleased to hear that.

"I've never had such a strong climax either," Spencer admitted shyly. "Of course, whenever I've had one it's always been me jacking off, so maybe it's because it's my first time at the hands of someone besides, myself."

"It is," Hotch told him confidently. "Believe me I know, because I used to jack off quite a lot when I was a teenager and when I had sex with an actual person for the first time instead of just doing it to myself it just didn't compare, trust me. I'm not saying masturbating doesn't relieve the sexual tension, but it just doesn't compare to actually having sex with a warm body, especially someone you love more then life, and Spencer, just so you know you blew every single one of those past sexual encounters out of the water and you will only get better the more you practice and I plan to give you plenty of opportunity to do that."

Hotch eyes rolled back as he thought about that, because he hadn't been joking when he had told Spencer that making love to him was the best sex he had ever had hands down and he couldn't even imagine how much better his and Spencer's lovemaking would be once they had some practice.

"Which we intend to do a lot," Spencer said blushing at the genuine praise.

"Oh, yes, by the time Monday rolls around I guarantee you we will have made love probably at least 20 or 30 times and had just as many climaxes, so you better be prepared not to get much sleep."

"I can sleep," Spencer told him, "while you are at work, though I don't envy you having to go into work all tired."

Hotch shrugged unconcerned. "The team's used to going on very little sleep sometimes when we're trying to catch a particularly difficult unsub, so it's really not an unusual state for me, although we always sleep after a case and normally for more than eight hours because of that tiredness. It won't kill me, and I'm still young enough to have an occasional sleepless night and it not effect me to much, although I can't afford to do it every night. I know that the older I get, the less I'll be able to go without sleep, but right now it certainly comes in handy."

"Well, that's certainly a useful skill to have," Spencer said.

"It is," Hotch admitted with a shrug. "In any case, I hope you're not too tired because I plan to make love to you all night and you will be getting very little sleep."

"That's fine," Spencer told him quite seriously but with a grin. "I'm looking forward to it. Before you get started though I do have one question."

"What's your question?" asked Hotch curiously.

"Well, the second you spurted your seed into me for the first time I felt as if a piece of me that I didn't even know I was missing snap in the place in my soul and I was just wondering if that was the True Mate Bond that you were telling me about."

"Yes, it was," Hotch told him with a grin, "and I felt it, even in the middle of my most intense climax ever. You and I are connected now and if you try to leave me for any reason, then we will both start to feel sick and the further you got from me the sicker we both would become until the two of us are back together. That's what I meant earlier about you still having a choice, as to whether or not to accept the bond, but once you did..."

"Yes, I know exactly what you mean and you don't ever have to worry about my loyalty to you or me leaving you, because it will never happen. I know we only met a little bit over two weeks ago, but I already love you so deeply it would literally destroy me to ever lose you and I know my love will only deepen the more time we spend together, so you have no reason to worry at all, just as I never will. Besides, us Potters tend to truly fall in love once and hard, and I know I am a Reid, but I do have Potter blood, through my mother, so apparently it is a trait that she passed onto me."

"Good, because I would track you down to the ends of the Earth, as it doesn't matter, which one of us tried to leave the other we would still both feel sick, which would get progressively worse the further apart we got from each other until we were back together and no this doesn't mean that we can't be parted like when I'm out of town for work, just that the bond knows the difference between a temporary separation because of necessity and one where one partner or spouse is trying to permanently leave."

"Mm, that's really fascinating," Spencer said. "However, we can shelve the discussion for later, preferably much later, as we both have better things to do."

"So we do," Hotch said smirking down at his mate evilly and immediately started sucking on one of Spencer's nipples causing him to groan as the desire within him started to build rapidly once more. "Now that we have released two and a half weeks of sexual tension I intend to take my time to bring you to completion. If I have my way you will be begging me to finish it long before we are done, which I have absolutely no intention of doing until I am ready."

Spencer's groan was more of anticipation of what was to come then anything else and Hotch just smirked down at him, already beginning to run his hands up and down his mate's body, lightly pinching the sensitive skin in certain areas making Spencer wither eagerly beneath him, immediately wanting more as Aaron's hands felt so good, as did his mouth on his nipple and the way he licked and sucked them. He had never really thought much about the sexual act before or believed that he would enjoy it so much, but he was very glad that he had been wrong about that. Well, either that or it was just because Aaron had magic hands as well as a magic mouth, since the older man already had certain areas of his body tingling pleasantly, but either way it didn't really matter. Spencer knew that he was going to love spending a lot of extra time in bed in the near future and he had never believed that he would say that, since he normally preferred to be up and active, but that didn't make it any less true.

Spencer made no protest, as his mate brought him to climax as he wasn't that stupid, though Aaron was certainly taking his time and allowing it to build slowly instead of fast like the first time.

If I don't die of sexual frustration while he is torturing me it will be a miracle, but if I do what a way to go, was Spencer's last thought for quite some time as his brain went on the fritz with delicious, earthshattering pleasure.
