Chapter Three

Rossi knocked on Hotch's open door. "Aaron, can I talk to you for a minute?"

Hotch glanced up, suppressing a sigh. He had spent most of his day out of the office in the hopes of avoiding Rossi, causing him to work late into the evening to get caught up. "I'm a bit busy here, Dave."

"Avoiding me."

"I'm not avoiding you," Hotch told him. Rossi stared at him, wordlessly. "Okay, I've been avoiding you. I'm assuming that Erin told you about the conversation that she and JJ had."

Rossi nodded. "She did. And I, for one, think it's a great idea."

Hotch dropped his head forward. "How? How could you possibly think this is a good idea?"

"I'm dying here, Aaron," he replied. "Do you know how long it's been since I've had sex? Do you know how long I normally go without sex? I am trying to be a good guy here, a good husband, but I'm about to lose it. They have given us sincere permission to do this. What is your hold up?"

"I'm not gay! Why does everyone seem to be overlooking this fact?" Hotch asked, exasperated.

Rossi shrugged. "I'm not either. It's not a problem for me."

Throwing his pen against the desk, Hotch countered, "How about I'm not attracted to you!"

"Oh, please." Rossi smirked when Hotch looked away. "Let me pour you a drink of scotch. I'll rub your shoulders and we'll see where it goes from there."

"Here?" Hotch said, panicked. "You want to do it here?"

Rossi moved over to the door, closing and locking it before turning his attention to the blinds. He knew he had Hotch now. "We've been banned from doing it at either of our houses and I figure checking into a hotel would be too much for you."

Hotch swallowed hard, slightly pale. "I suppose you're right."

"Don't worry, Aaron," Rossi reassured him as he handed him a glass of scotch. "I'm not going to do anything that you don't want me to do. I'm not going to pressure you into anything and I'm not going to get you drunk."

"Okay," Hotch breathed out. "Okay."

Hotch removed his jacket and placed it on the desk before downing the scotch in one gulp. Rossi rubbed his hands together to warm them. He placed them on Hotch's shoulders, making a shushing sound when Hotch jumped. Rossi dug his fingers deep into Hotch's skin.

"Geez, Aaron." Rossi lowered his lips so that they were just outside Hotch's ear. "You're really tense."

"Yeah, well, this isn't exactly something that I do all the time." Hotch turned his head to find his lips dangerously close to Rossi's.

Rossi licked his lips. "Me either, but I seem okay with it."

Hotch's breath hitched. He tried to turn away, but was mesmerized by the scent of Rossi's aftershave. "Oh, shit," he moaned before foisting his mouth onto Rossi's.
