Chapter 35: The start

JJ followed Hotch into his apartment. They spent the night at the hospital and they stayed there the entire morning until Sean asked them to leave. Well, it was more like he forced them to leave. He didn't want them to stick around the hospital the entire day. So when they left, Hotch asked JJ to come to his apartment. She happily accepted because they had a lot to talk about. She hoped he knew about her break-up with Sean. She even hoped he would say something about it. But she also knew his head could be with Sean. He had every right to think about his brother.

''How are you feeling?'' JJ asked while she sat down on the couch. She watched Hotch clean up the small mess around his apartment. He looked nervous and not like himself. ''Aaron?''

Hotch stopped and returned her gaze. ''Yeah?''

''Maybe you should sit down.'' she suggested, moving to the other end of the couch to leave enough room for him. ''What are you thinking about?''

He dropped down on the couch, leaving the space between them. He wanted to be close to her but he didn't know how she felt about it. So he wasn't going to risk it. ''Sean.'' he said. ''But also you.''

''Really?'' she asked with anticipation.

''I know Sean broke up with you, JJ. He told me he was going to do it before it even happened.'' he explained. ''He thought we would be good together. That's something I never expected to come from him but it did.''

''So what do you think?'' she asked curiously. ''What do you want?''

Hotch moved closer towards JJ and took her hand in his. He caressed it gently as he looked into her eyes. Her eyes were filled with love and desire. He never cared about anyone like he cared about JJ. What he felt for her was real. But it made it even harder if anything would ever go wrong between them because he didn't want to see her in pain. ''I want you, JJ.'' he breathed out. ''I've wanted you since the first time I ever saw you.'' he said, remembering that time.

Her heart started to race. ''That's good. Great even. But if we do this I don't want you to pull out at the last second.'' she started. ''If we do this I need to know that you're in this for the long haul because I don't want to lose you.''

''I promise I won't do anything wrong.'' he said. ''I promise!'' he repeated.

Hotch suddenly pulled her up on his lap. JJ squealed as she straddled his lap. His hands were on her waist. ''I love you, Aaron.'' she whispered, leaning closer towards him. Their lips were almost touching but she didn't make the first move.

''I love you too.'' he said as he put a strand of her long blonde hair behind her ear. He cupped her cheek before leaning in to claim her lips. But once he did, he felt the fire burning inside of him. Their lips molded like they were made for each other. He slipped his tongue into her mouth and started to explore. He tasted a hint of coffee. It was typical JJ. He knew it from before. He knew he would never get enough. All her kisses were different. This one was even better than before.

JJ let her thoughts roam as she focused solely on the man she was kissing. She was once again in heaven. If there was a better place than heaven she would even be there because the happiness was taking over. And when she felt Hotch's hand slip under her tank top, she didn't think to stop him. She didn't want to wait but in the back of her mind she knew she had to. He would be breaking the law and he could end up in prison.

Hotch realized he was moving too fast when his hands cupped her bra, so he pulled back as he kept kissing her. When he came up for air he felt chills, seeing the intensity in her expression. ''I think we should stop.'' he said before JJ kissed him again. ''We're both emotional and I don't want to take advantage of that.''

''We can't have sex until I'm eighteen, Aaron.'' JJ stated firmly, noticing the look on his face and she couldn't help but laugh. ''Tom will arrest you if anything happens.''

''I guess we'll have to wait then.'' he agreed. ''I don't mind, JJ. With you it's about so much more than just sex. I've never felt like this about anyone so I'm not going to ruin it this time. We'll wait as long as we have to.''

''I'm happy to hear that!'' she laughed out. ''But that will be eight long months.''

''Oh, I can hold out that long!'' he said immediately. ''I bet you can't.''

''Another bet?'' she asked. ''I'm not making another one. Three was more than enough.''

Hotch smirked as he pushed her off of him in a playful way. ''You can't resist me.'' he said as he hovered on top of her. He leaned down and kissed her lips. He pulled away when JJ was about to kiss him back.

''You're a tease!'' she exclaimed, pushing him away. She sat up on the couch and looked at him with a devilish grin. ''I'm really happy right now.''

''I know. I feel the same.'' he said. ''What do you want to do today?''

''Why don't we just stay here and watch movies or something. I don't want to do too much right now. I'm exhausted.'' she said as she yawned through the sentences.

''I can see that!'' he noticed. ''But I'm glad to hear that because I'm tired as well.'' he said as he gently pulled her against him. ''What kind of movies do you like?''

JJ crawled against his side and looked up into his eyes, feeling safe and comfortable. ''Right now I'm in the mood for a romantic comedy or something. I don't need any suspense or drama.''

Hotch stepped from the couch and walked towards a closet where he had some movies stored. ''When Harry met Sally…?'' he asked. He saw JJ smiling which led him to believe that she would be fine with that movie.

JJ waited for Hotch to sit down next to her before she said anything else. Once he was on the couch, she buried herself in his embrace. ''Only softies have a movie like this in their house. I expected more of you, Aaron.'' she teased. ''I thought you were better than this.''

He smirked as he gave her a playful kiss on her cheek. He turned the TV on and the movie started playing. He had never watched a move with a girlfriend before. The entire setting was new to him but he felt so good. Everything was right. He had JJ with him and nothing in the world could take away what he felt in that moment.

JJ grabbed a pillow from the couch and put it on his lap. She put her head on the pillow and stretched her legs. She knew she could fall asleep any moment. The drama sucked the energy from her and she had no idea how much longer she could hold out before she would fall asleep.
