"Wow Spence!" JJ almost squealed as she realized who was standing in front of her. "You're here!"

Reid shook his head, smiling and then said, "I suppose I am."

"Wow!" JJ said again which earned another chuckle from Reid. "Well, I guess my offer for drinks still stands."

"I'd be delighted. But first I would like to go shower, boarding can really take it out of you…"

"Of course," JJ agreed, thinking that she would want to take a shower herself. "How about we meet at Jackie's at 10? Although be warned, I probably wont be staying up that long."

"Well the reason we have this break is for some uninterrupted sleep," Reid reasoned. "I'll see you then JJ."

As Spencer undid his board from his feet and walked away, JJ couldn't help but smile. Maybe this week wouldn't be so lonely after all.


By 9:45 JJ was ready to go. Her hair was flowing in loose waves down her back, slightly covering the deep red shirt she wore. On her legs were black leggings and below that she had on red strappy heels. Luckily, the restaurants were connected to the hotel rooms inside, and so she wouldn't bee needing a coat.

JJ felt sexy as she walked out of her room and towards the elevator. She was a little nervous though; she hadn't really been on a date, however real this date may be, in a while. Even if this was with Spencer, she hardly thought he considered this a date.

As she walked into Jackie's, one of the club-style bars, she glanced around the room. Of course, Spencer was already there. He had probably been sitting on a stool, reserving a table for them, for the past 15 minutes. She smiled and walked over, glad he had already gotten drinks.

"Spence," JJ said as she approached.

Reid looked over to her and smiled. His smile was familiar, but there was something else to it. Something more seductive. Something lustful.

"I hope it's okay that I got you a drink," Spencer said, pulling out the other stool for JJ. "It's your favourite."

"Thanks Spence," JJ said, her heart warming. He may have an eidetic memory, but he still knew how to charm a woman.

Spencer and JJ talked for a while. Laughing at some jokes, remembering times at the Bureau where they had been together, not outwardly stating that they both loved every minute of it. They continued to order more drinks as the bar filled, people who had too much alcohol in their system on the dance floor, gyrating to the pulsating music.

At a slow point in their conversation, JJ looked shyly at Reid and asked, "Did you mean it?"

"Mean what?" he looked at her curiously.

"After we went down the hill together, before I knew it was you," JJ prompted. "Did you mean those things you said about the woman at work?"

JJ held her breath for the answer, hoping that she hadn't put herself too far out there.

"Of course JJ," Spence said with a smile. "I'm here for you. I know times are tough with Will right now, and I need you to know that I am always here." Reid looked at her earnestly and JJ couldn't help the blush creep up on her cheeks.

"And the other thing," JJ looked down at her hands as her fingers intertwined. "About learning to snowboard?"

Now it was Spencer who looked down as well, as he began to blush.

"Yes," he said quietly. "That's true too."

JJ paused, wondering how to continue.

"Thank you Spencer," JJ looked back up, holding his hands in hers. "For everything. For being here, and being there whenever I need you." JJ left out the part about him learning the semi-dangerous sport for her.

Reid smiled at JJ and both of their eyes locked for a glorious moment, staring.

"Now come on Dr.!" JJ laughed. "Let's dance!"

JJ pulled Reid onto the dance floor. At first he was hesitant, not touching JJ, and simply swaying back and forth. After a song though, he became more relaxed and held JJ's waist, which put a twist into JJ's stomach.

Suddenly, she realized that she needed him to touch more of her. She pressed her body up against his and enjoyed the moan she heard escape from his lips as her stomach pressed into his groin.

"JJ," he whispered, looking into her eyes with what could only be poorly masked lust.

In response to this, JJ started to swivel her hips slowly into him, excited by his obvious erection.

Spencer looked down at JJ, a little bewildered that this was happening, but slowly smiled as he imagined what might happen later.

JJ took this look as a sign to continue and slowly began trailing her fingers down his surprisingly toned arms. JJ moaned in appreciation as Spencer's hands slowly slid down, cupping her ass. Their movements became rhythmic, both moving in time to the music as well as each other, their bodies joining together. JJ liked the feeling of her breasts being pushed into Reid's hard chest. He was hard elsewhere, and JJ made sure to continue rubbing his erection with her hips. Another moan escaped Spencer's lips and he looked down at JJ.

Slowly, giving her time to back away, he leaned his head down towards hers, his lips slightly parted. JJ met him halfway, their lips meeting and sending both their heads spinning.

JJ tugged on Spencer's bottom lip, licking and nipping it. As Spencer moved one hand to tangle in JJ's golden hair, his other hand squeezed her butt, making JJ gasp at the amazing sensation that ran throughout her body. Spencer took the opportunity to taste the inside of JJ's mouth with his tongue, exploring her and loving the sweetness of her tongue against his. JJ moaned loudly, ignoring anyone else on the dance floor with them.

All too soon, the pulsating beat quieted and the music became slow. Spencer seemed to break out of the kiss, and took a step away from JJ.

All of a sudden they both felt the cold air rush between them, enhancing the fact that they were no longer touching. At this sudden change in temperature, JJ also broke out of whatever sickly sweet thoughts had crawled into her head about Spencer.

"I should get to bed," JJ suggested.

"I'll walk you to your room," Reid said quickly and nervously, avoiding any awkward moment that might have happened between them as they realized what they had been doing.

Reid had already paid the bartender, and they both left the bar in a hurry.

As they approached the elevator, they slowed down their brisk pace.

"I'm sorry about back there," JJ began.

"What?" Reid looked at her questioningly. "Why?"

"Well, I don't really want to make you feel like you need to do this for me," JJ tried to explain.

"JJ," Spencer chuckled, "that wasn't just for you."

JJ was about to ask about that statement when the elevator doors opened, revealing several other people in the elevator. They walked in, JJ pushed the button for her floor, and they started the slow ascent.

When the elevator doors opened, JJ and Reid stepped out and JJ led the way to her room.

"You didn't need to walk me here," JJ smiled shyly. "There isn't a serial killer here." JJ immediately wished she could take back the statement. Their minds were still partially on the case that had led her to the trip.

"I'm sorry," JJ whispered. "I think I just need to sleep for a long time."

Reid's face had a twisted expression, one of concern and something that if JJ didn't know better would have been love.

"Sleep well," Spencer said as he leaned toward her slowly, once again letting her back away if she so desired.

JJ had no such desire. JJ pushed herself into him, their lips meeting, melting when his strong arms wrapped around her slender waist.

This time it was her tongue to do the exploring of Spencer's mouth. He sighed as she began to trail kisses down his neck.

"JJ," Spencer whispered. "You need to sleep."

"Or we can stay here," JJ suggested in between kisses on his mouth.

"No," Reid put his foot down, taking her hands from his shoulders and putting them by her side. "I'm sorry, but this isn't what you need right now. You need a good night's sleep, hopefully with no nightmares. You don't need me, coming in and complicating your already stressful life."

JJ sighed, knowing he was right, but wishing he was just joking ad that he would sweep her off her feet and carry into her king sized bed.

"I'm always here if you need me," Spencer continued. "But not this way, not now."

JJ nodded silently before giving Spencer a quick peck and opening the door to her room.

"Goodnight Spence."

"Goodnight JJ. Sleep well."

JJ entered her room, and within 30 minutes had fallen asleep, but not before remembering the terrible case they had just finished.


It was 3 am when JJ sat straight up, panting like she had been running, awoken from a terrible dream. She felt cold and terrified and knew there was only one person who could help her.
