Chapter 38

Reid awoke to sunlight spilling across the bedroom. A quick look to the clock on the nightstand told him that he'd overslept- it read quarter after nine. He looked to where Scarlett was still asleep beside him and watched her eyes scan behind closed lids. He didn't want to wake her, but they had to go in today for debriefing because of the shooting. He watched her a few minutes more before leaning forward to press a kiss to her lips.

Her smile came before she even opened her eyes and made him grin. She stretched and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Mmm, one more, please," she said with a husky laugh as he quickly obliged. She cracked one eye open to peer up at him. "Good morning, my handsome farm boy," she smiled.

"Good morning, my beautiful crazy girl," he teased and kissed her nose.

She opened both eyes and rubbed at them. "I'm guessing we are late…" she said glancing at the light through the window.

Spencer shrugged and the sheet fell off his shoulder. "Not really, debriefing isn't until eleven…" he said watching as she moved closer.

"Good, then I have time for breakfast," she said as she nipped at his bare shoulder.

"You're hungry? I can make something…" he felt cold air snap around him when she pulled the rest of the sheet away from his body.

"Not what I was thinking at all, sweetheart…" she laughed as she shoved him back onto the pillows.

He felt his mouth go dry when she pulled her shirt off and moved to cover him with her body. She grabbed the blankets and pulled them up over their heads, cocooning them against the morning.

Scarlett stretched out on top of his lean frame, letting her body warm through to his. Tucking her hands behind his head, she placed baby kisses all along his face until he laughed.

"I guess I'm breakfast?" he chuckled.

"Mmm-hmm..." she said biting his shoulder and exploring with her tongue further down his arm. "...and you are delicious," she teased. Shifting, she rested her chin on his breastbone.

"Maybe some maple syrup, right about here," she grinned wickedly and licked his chest up to his neck. She laughed as some sort of sound came from him that sounded like a cross between a squeak and a strangled groan.

"No, then?" she asked as she raised her face to his.

"No," he choked out of his tight throat. Taking a breath he rolled her over and lay on top of her. "I've got a less messy idea," he told her as he rubbed against her inner thighs. When she arched against him and opened her legs, he slid into her warmth and shuddered.

A sigh escaped her lips and he quickly covered her mouth. "I can't get enough of you, Scarlett…" he told her.

She opened her eyes and locked her gaze to his. "I'm glad," she told him as she linked her ankles up behind his back, driving him deeper. "I'd hate to think you'd be bored with me already…"

Spencer let out a rush of air as he tried to hold back. "I don't think that'll ever happen…" she twisted slightly and rocked him against her. His breathing started coming in short pants, as she continued the motion.

Sweat rolled down his back as her nails bit into his shoulders. He arched over her, watching as she opened her eyes and bit into her lip with a groan.

"Spencer…" he heard her voice husky in his ear. "Come…"

He felt every muscle in his body tense at her request. Her body responded in kind as he fell forward on top of her.

Spent, he couldn't move off her. "I think I saw stars," he mumbled into the pillow.

He felt her laughter against his shoulder. "Mmm-hmm. The earth shattered somewhere here, too," she told him as she kissed his neck. She stretched out under him like a cat. Moving to the side, he curled up against her. He brushed her hair out across her back, watching it fall through his fingers.

"Scarlett…" he said pulling her close just as the phone rang. He sighed.

"Hold that thought sexy…" she said as she moved out of the bed and padded across the room stark naked to grab it.

"Holy God," he groaned as he watched her.

"I didn't know you were a praying man, Spencer Reid," she joked as she handed him the still ringing phone.

"Minx," he called her with a smile as he answered. "Reid…" he said clearing his throat.
