Summary: Reid and Prentiss are seeing each other, but Reid has a secret about another team member which could threaten is new relationship.
Notes: A slight jump ahead. Thank you for the reviews, alerts and fave adds. It means a lot! This was the first part that I wrote a while back, then I added the part about the star puzzle to set up how they got together in the first place.

It had been six months since Prentiss had first seen the inside of Reid's bedroom, and now she felt most comfortable. Reid ran his hands through Prentiss' long brown hair as they laid together naked in the bed. They both were getting very used to waking up in one another arms. Both dreaded when they would be stuck out of town on a hard case, and not be able comfort each other. Reid smiled at her, then he kissed her softly. Prentiss deepened the kiss, running her hands down his bare back. Her hands stopped just above his ass.

"We don't want to be late for work Emily," he reminded her, breaking the embrace. "Do you remember what happened the last time we were late?"

Prentiss laughed, remember that morning, about two months ago. The couple had gotten home late from the case, but had still ended up together at Reid's house, as it was closer to the airstrip. Although they had both been tired the moment they were alone they could not keep their hands and lips off of each other. They had fallen asleep after making love more times then they thought they could in their sleep deprived state.

When their alarms had gone off they had both turned them off. They were both more interested in paying attention to each other then getting dressed. She shivered thinking about him taking his tie and wrapping it around her wrists. By the time they realised they had lost track of time they were already late. In their separate car rides back to the office they were both too distracted to think up any excuses.

The looks they got as they slipped into the conference room within minutes of each other had made it impossible for either of them to pretend like they hadn't been together. Reid began to stammer excuse after excuse as to why they had both been two hours late. Thankfully Prentiss finally silenced him, as well as the rumour mill by explaining that they had gotten into an intense game of chess, and didn't get to sleep until just before the sun was coming up. She told them that she had stayed in Reid's spare bedroom, and they had both overslept. Everyone seemed to have believed their lie.

"I can almost hear you trying to think up excuses," she told him running her hand along his chest. "I was sure you were going to tell Hotch we were abducted by aliens."

"I'm pretty sure that telling them that would have been more believable then the truth."

"You might be right. No one would ever believe you had me tied to your bed working your magic with your tongue."

He blushed. "You're right, they probably wouldn't believe that, not that they really need to hear about it either. So when are we going to tell them?"

"Soon, Spencer, I promise."

The two of them were running their hands along each other's bodies when their cell phones began to ring. They knew that this meant there was a case. They knew it was going to be a rough once since their phones were ringing at the same time, which meant Hotch was calling the team members in as well. They each answered their own phones, getting out of the bed and pulling on their clothes. Just before he hung up he scrambled for his tie, but Prentiss got it first. She giggled as she slipped it around her neck, her shirt was still open and Reid tried not to make a noise that would give away that he had a partially naked woman teasing him.

"Spence, who's that?" JJ asked before he hung up the phone.

"If you keep that up she's going to figure it out," Reid told her.

His sights then zeroed in on Prentiss who still had his tie around her neck. She giggled at him, innocently playing with the tie. He leapt across the bed, then pinned her against the way. Kissing any skin on her body that was still showing. Prentiss' eyes slipped shut and her head fell back. This man truly was magic, she wanted him to take her, but knew they needed to go to work. He was making it hard for her to remember that she had anything else to do that day.

"Say uncle," he told her.

"Uncle! Uncle!" she cried, still laughing. "I will get you back when I get you home, Spencer Reid."

"Promise?" he challenged.

"Have I ever let you down?"

"No you haven't and I hope I have not disappointed you, Emily."

"I am very satisfied, Spencer. Now let's get a move on."

Reid's phone began to ring again, he answered it. "JJ is something wrong?" he asked.

"No, but I heard a woman before you hung up."

"It was the television. I dropped my phone when I tried to turn it off."

JJ laughed. "Whatever Spence, go on hiding your mystery lady. We'll figure it out soon enough." JJ hung up her phone, and looked at Derek Morgan. "He claims that it was TV, but I know what I heard. There was a woman on the other end of that phone."

"Come on, do you really think that Reid, geeky and awkward Doctor Spencer Reid who you once went on a disastrous date with could really hide a whole woman from us?" Morgan asked, laughing.

"I guess you're right, but it didn't sound like a television. The voice sounded familiar, too. But do you really think that Spence watches anything but the Discovery Channel?"

"It was probably just a commercial. You're reading way too much into it."

"You're right, this is Spence we're talking about, he's not hiding some woman in his bedroom."

Both of them laughed at that thought. Morgan had come in early to get a jump on some paperwork he had forgotten about. He was surprised that anyone was in the bullpen when he got there. When JJ had shown him the case that had just come across her desk he had agreed to help her call in the rest of the team. They needed to get to Pittsburgh as quickly as possible. The case was going to be hell. Hotch was the first to arrive, followed by Reid, then it was usually Rossi who would show up next, but of late Prentiss seemed to be making record time to the office.

For a moment Morgan let his thoughts move away from the case. It seemed that Prentiss and Reid were arriving at work at closer and closer intervals. He knew that Reid had a spare bedroom, but he thought it was a little strange that she would be staying there when she had her own condo. He had been at Reid's place it was like going to an old library it certainly wasn't the kind of place that you would want to stay at, even if games of chess, or poker went late.

End Part 1

Notes: I am trying to write shorter chapters right now. I'm not going to go into the case before I reveal my plot twist. I'm not that evil this time. Reviews make me very happy.
