AN: Alright, lovely readers, this is the final chapter! Just in case it's a little hard to tell there's been a time skip between chapters (this is set after 'Elephant's Memory').

I hope you all enjoyed this story. :)


Chapter 8

Hotch silently stared at the road ahead. Even though they had both gone to see the movie, he wasn't remotely distracted and couldn't stop thinking about how things had been handled earlier with Spencer and their UNSUB Owen. If Spencer had been killed…

Reid looked out the window, watching the buildings fly by. He thought about what Hotch had told him on the plane. What HAD he been thinking? Spencer was a class A genius but what he did was incredibly stupid. "I'm sorry..." he said quietly.

Hotch glanced at Spencer. "Thank you. I already scolded you about your behavior, so I won't harp on you about it," he replied. Hotch saw his exit coming up and moved into the correct lane. "…I want you to know just how much you mean to me."

Spencer looked down, his hands rubbing nervously together. "I care about you too, Aaron..." he replied, still not quite used to calling Hotch by his first name. Spencer was also not used to everything he was feeling when they were together. But he just associated it with his social awkwardness. "Aaron? Would…Would you stay with me tonight..?"

"I was planning on it," Hotch said, turning down the road towards his apartment. "I don't particularly feel like letting you out of my sight just yet."

Reid wasn't expecting Aaron to be thinking of the same thing but, looking at what had happened recently, he should've. A small smile slipped across his lips and his eyes filled with love. "I won't make another stupid decision like that again, Aaron. I promise," he replied, raising his head to look at Hotch.

Hotch pulled into the parking garage and turned to look at Reid. "I trust you won't," he said, reaching over and taking hold of Spencer's hand. Hotch leaned over and pressed a gentle kiss to Spencer's lips.

Reid's eyes slipped shut as he kissed back. He still got butterflies in his stomach every time they kissed but it felt good. Spencer's arm crept up and around Aaron's neck, pulling them closer together.

Hotch sighed into the kiss. "Do you feel ready for us to take the next step in our relationship?" he asked, parting from Reid to look into his eyes.

A dark blush swept across Spencer's face. He knew exactly what Hotch was talking about. Sex. His brain started to run off with the idea; imagining EVERYTHING it would involve and how it would feel. Reid swallowed, feeling his pants get super tight super fast. "...Y-Yes." he nodded.

Hotch cupped Spencer's cheek. "Are you sure?" he asked.

Reid's eyes closed as he leaned into Hotch's warm touch. "Yes," he purred, smiling.

Hotch smiled. "Good," he said. He gave Spencer a quick peck before getting out of the car and opening the door for him.

Reid stood, his blush still very noticeable over his smile as he reached over to hold Hotch's hand, intertwining their fingers.

They entered the apartment building and Hotch led Spencer to the elevator. Being that it was extremely late, there was no-one else on the elevator with them, so Hotch continued to hold Reid's hand and gently stroke it with his thumb. When they finally got to the apartment and Hotch had shut the door behind them, he pulled Spencer close and kissed him properly.

Reid moaned quietly into the kiss. He dropped his shoulder quickly, his messenger bag landing on the floor with a thud. The brunette's arms slipped around Aaron's neck and his leg locked around the older man's.

Hotch was momentarily reminded of their dances. Of how Reid could move so beautifully. He kissed the corner of Spencer's mouth before continuing down the pale length of his throat. Hotch unbuttoned the gray sweater Spencer wore and pushed it off him to the floor.

Spencer's head leaned to the side with a moan, exposing more of his neck to Hotch, and reached up to blindly take off his tie. Reid's grip on Hotch's leg tightened as he moved closer. Once his tie was simply hanging around his neck, the genius slipped his hands under Hotch's suit coat, running his hands up and down Aaron's back and sides.

Aaron sighed at the feeling of Spencer's slender hands and sucked a mark into the crook of his neck. He slid his own hands down Spencer's back and gripped his ass.

Reid jumped slightly, a surprised squeak escaping his lips.

Aaron chuckled and lifted Reid up so that both legs were now wrapped around his waist. Unfortunately he had to stop kissing him in order to see where he was going as he carried Spencer towards his bedroom.

Spencer's hands moved from Aaron's back to his front, his shaky fingers working at untying his tie. Hotch's tie dropped to the floor and Spencer's hands went to work on his shirt buttons.

When Aaron finally got to the room, he gently placed Spencer on the bed. He kicked off his shoes and turned on the light before joining him. "Let me know if we're going too fast, Spencer. Or if you want to stop," Hotch said, propping himself up over Spencer.

Reid nodded. He finally got the last button undone and, hesitantly, pulled the shirt from the edge of Hotch's pants. Spencer licked his lips as the fabric fell apart to show off Aaron's toned chest and abs.

Aaron went back to placing open mouthed kisses along Spencer's neck and worked on the buttons of Spencer's shirt. He managed to get it open and off fairly quickly. Hotch brushed his fingers down Spencer's chest to his hips before getting rid of his belt.

Spencer's breath caught in his throat. Aaron's hands were so warm and comforting. He kicked his own shoes off and his fingers fluttered lightly up the back of Aaron's neck before burying into his black hair.

With a light groan at the feeling of Spencer's fingers in his hair, Aaron popped open the button of Spencer's slacks and encouraged him to lift his hips so he could pull them down and off. He kissed the spot just below Reid's ear as he worked off his own pants.

Spencer pushed Hotch's shirt off his shoulders and threw it to the side. He looked up into Aaron's dark eyes and slid his hands down his chest with a purr.

"You're going to be the death of me, Spencer," Aaron said, his eyes closing momentarily at the pleasant feeling. He leaned down and pressed a kiss to his collar bones, bringing a hand up to caress Spencer's chest as he ground their hips together.

Spencer gasped. Aaron was big. Very big. And just the feeling he was giving the brunette made his honey-brown eyes roll back in pleasure. "I could say the same to you," Spencer panted with a laugh.

Aaron smiled and shifted so that he could kiss his way down to Spencer's hips. He hooked his fingers into the band of Reid's underwear and glanced up at him. "This okay?" Hotch asked.

Spencer's breath shook for a moment, then he nodded with a smile. "Yes," he confirmed, slipping his fingers through Aaron's hair again.

Aaron kissed Spencer's belly as he pulled off his underwear. He sat up and lightly rubbed Reid's thigh, eyes roaming over his willowy body. "Spencer…You're beautiful," Aaron said, his voice husky. Honestly he was a bit amazed that Spencer was allowing this. He could easily stare at him for hours.

Spencer moaned, his chestnut locks slipping into his face. "I love you, Aaron," he said as he looked up, his eyes swimming with lust.

Aaron leaned close. "I love you too, Spencer," he replied, kissing him tenderly. It was a little tricky getting his own boxers off, but he managed. Aaron lifted Spencer's legs to his waist and gently squeezed his hips.

As Spencer kissed back, his lips parted and his tongue darted out to lick Aaron's lips. He moaned in excitement; Aaron tasted exceptionally like Bourbon. It was an interesting taste. Spencer's legs slid up and linked together around Aaron's hips.

Aaron reached over to the nightstand and pulled open the drawer before reaching in and searching around blindly. It took only a moment to find the bottle of lube and a packet of condoms. Aaron dropped the packet on the bed beside them and flipped open the cap on the lube. He slicked his fingers and curled his arm around Spencer to press a finger between his cheeks.

Spencer gasped at the cold liquid. He quickly calmed and tried to prepare himself for what was to come next. Although he knew he wanted this, Spencer's body was tense, no matter how hard he tried to hide it.

"Relax, Spencer. I'll go slowly," Aaron soothed, rubbing his finger over Spencer's rim a few times. "Have you ever done this before?"

Spencer shook his head, his fingers clenching and releasing the blankets. Then he looked up at Aaron, locking gazes. "H-Have you..?"

"Once. Back in college," Aaron replied. He kissed Spencer's temple and pressed his finger into him. Spencer's hands gripped the blankets tightly, turning to press his mouth to Aaron's. He couldn't deny it felt a little odd but at the same time, it felt amazing. Spencer moaned lustfully.

Aaron licked into Spencer's mouth as he gradually thrust his finger in and out. Spencer was so tight and hot, he was almost worried he wouldn't be able to stretch him enough. Eventually he introduced a second finger.

Spencer squirmed under Aaron, his hips shaking side to side and moving the older man's fingers all over inside him.

"Oooh! Aaron!" he moaned, his voice getting louder.

Aaron groaned, seeing Spencer so desperate for him was probably the most erotic thing he'd ever experienced. As much as he wanted to just get on with things, he had said he'd be slow and he would. Hotch would never forgive himself if he hurt Spencer. He pushed a third finger into Reid and spread his fingers, stretching him open. "Let me know when you're ready."

Reid keened, his back arching and his eyes rolling back. "...T-Take me Aaron!" he shouted, unable to wait any longer.

Aaron swore quietly and pulled his fingers out. He grabbed a condom and slid it on almost too quickly. Hotch slicked himself with the lube and shifted into position. "You need to stay relaxed for this," he said, before slowly pressing into Spencer's body.

Reid slapped his hand over his mouth, muffling his scream. Aaron was huge and it hurt but, at the same time, felt incredible.

"Spencer, are you alright?" Aaron asked, pausing. Reid looked like he was in pain and now Hotch was worried he'd gone too fast.

Spencer nodded, removing his hand from his mouth. "...I-I'm okay...Aaron," he replied, voice shaking.

Aaron nodded and stroked Spencer's thigh with one hand and wrapped the other around his cock, hoping to distract him. He slowly thrust into him until he was as deep as he could get without hurting Reid.

Spencer gasped at the intense pleasure, his muscles squeezing around Hotch's cock momentarily. After his body got used to Aaron being inside, Spencer began to relax. "Oh my god..." his voice squeaked.

Aaron pressed kisses over any available bit of Spencer he could reach. "You're so tight, Spencer," he panted, running his fingers through Reid's long hair.

Spencer raised his head slightly and licked his dry lips. He moved his hips so Hotch was just barely inside. Then the brunette gave a sharp thrust up. "Ahh!"

Aaron gasped and quickly got with the program. "I didn't realize you were so impatient," he muttered, grabbing Spencer's hip and thrusting into him.

Spencer gasped with each thrust. This felt incredible! He wrapped his arms around Aaron's neck, pulling them closer together.

"Fuck…Spencer," Aaron growled, peppering Reid's skin with kisses. He rolled his hips in powerful thrusts and his hands wandered over Spencer's body, trying to memorize everything about him.

Reid's head snapped forward with every intense thrust, his nails digging into the skip of Aaron's back. "...A-Aaron... I'm g-going to...!" he gave as much warning as he could through his panting before he climaxed.

Aaron watched Spencer's face, enjoying how expressive he was. That image would definitely be burned into his memory forever. His thrusts became slightly less controlled as he chased after his own completion. Aaron's hips stuttered and he buried himself deep within Spencer as he came with a gasp of his name.

Spencer gasped. His whole body went limp as he tried to regain a normal breathing pattern. His eyes rose to look at Hotch and he smiled. "I love you, Aaron..."

Aaron smiled back and kissed him. "I love you, too," he replied. Hotch slowly pulled out and removed the condom before getting up and heading into the en suite bathroom. He returned with a wet cloth and gently cleaned Spencer up before settling in the bed beside him.

Spencer rolled into him and rested his head on Aaron's chest, listening to his heartbeat. The brunette slid his hand up his partner's chest and, before he could ask how it was, Spencer was asleep.

Aaron closed his eyes and wrapped both arms securely around Spencer. It didn't take long, with his love in his arms, for him to fall into a peaceful sleep.
