Hotch looked at Kahlan and blinked several times. He finally realized she was wearing a robe. His dimples shown as he smiled. "Oh really? What else did you have in mind?" He asked and then advanced on her and pulled her into a kiss.
Once she had to pull away she giggled. "That's a start," she told him and slipped off the robe.
He stared at her. She was wearing his favorite negligee. He felt his manhood twitch as his breathing hitched in his chest and his heart started racing. "Kahlan?" He licked his lips. His body burned with desire for her, but he didn't want her to rush into anything. "Are you sure?"
She giggled again and grabbed his tie and pulled him to the bed. Once they were close enough, she turned them around, forced him down on the bed on his back and started pulling on his tie to get it undone. "Oh yeah," she told him seductively as she flicked her brows at him. "I want to see if we can actually make it thunder."
He moaned and pulled her down into another kiss as she threw his tie across the room. They kissed ferociously as their need and want took over. Their tongues battled for dominance as she ripped his shirt open. Buttons flew everywhere and she reached and undid his belt and his pants. He groaned as her foot ghosted over his manhood as she pushed his pants down to his ankles. He flicked his shoes off and shook out of his pants. She pulled him up into a sitting position and pulled his shirt off of him as they kissed even more.
When he pulled away from her, he looked at her, and his hands shook a little as he reached for her again. Several times in the last two months, he had thought that he'd never be able to hold his wife again, let alone love her the way he was now. The emotional strain over it all was finally leaving him and he felt weak. She noticed his eyes had watered up. "What's wrong, Hun?"
He took a shuddering breath and pulled her into his lap in a tight embrace. "Jesus, Babe. I had thought I lost you, and then I found you, and then I thought I had lost you again. . ." He held her tighter. "I'm just so relieved to have you in my arms again!"
She returned the embrace. "I know, Aaron, and I'm so sorry for all of it."
"Don't. Don't apologize. Just let me love you."
"Always," she told him softly as she leaned into his embrace letting him hold her as long as he wanted to.
He sighed as he felt the rip in his chest heal completely.
"If you'd prefer to just hold me, I'd be happy with that, too," she told him as she looked at his face.
He took a deep breath and smiled slyly. "Oh no. I just needed a minute," he told her as he pulled the silk material of her negligee up over her thighs. He noticed several bruises on her legs. "Babe?"
She saw what he was looking at. "It's nothing," she told him quickly and forced him back down onto the bed. She started kissing a trail down his neck and onto his chest, marking his chest roughly with every kiss. He moaned at the pleasure of it. She continued the trail down his stomach and down his thighs as she pulled his boxers down. Once they were to his knees, she used her foot to remove them completely. She took his manhood into her hand and his whole body jerked. She rubbed him slowly as she leaned in and gave him another kiss. He moaned when she pulled away and nuzzled his head to the side and nibbled on the spot behind his ear. He reached up and caressed her breasts. She moaned against his ear as he pulled her gown up some more, reached under it, and rolled her nipples in his fingers. "God, Aaron! I've missed you so much!" she told him and then bit down on the bump of his skull behind his ear.
He groaned with pleasure as her teeth teased at one of his favorite spots. "I've missed you more!" He exclaimed and rolled them over. She giggled in surprise, and he pulled her gown up over her head and threw it onto the floor. He started a trail of kisses down her neck, and he saw more bruises on her. What the hell have you been doing, Babe? She pulled him out of his thoughts as she reached up and ran her hands through his hair, letting her nails dig in with every passionate move. She felt goose bumps cover his legs, and she giggled again. He made his way down to her breasts and spent time pleasing them with either his mouth or his hand. It was her turn to moan with pleasure. He started down her stomach and his hand made its way under her matching panties.
She gasped as his fingers teased her. She pulled at him greedily. "Please, Aaron. . ."
"What?" He smiled up at her as he pulled her panties down. "You want this?" He asked as he slid one finger into her. She arched her back and he could have sworn she almost purred. He knew what she liked.
"Yes!" She hissed between clenched teeth. He pulled his finger back out and rubbed her bundle of nerves. She bucked against him. "Aaron!" she exclaimed as she pulled on his shoulders. "Don't make me beg," she breathed. He laughed and slid two fingers in and scissored them back and forth. She squirmed with the pleasure of it. He leaned down and added his tongue. "Oh God!" she cried out. After a few moments, he pulled out and moved to kiss her inner thigh. She yelled in frustration and he laughed. He loved teasing her, but he moved in to pleasure her with his tongue some more. After a few more moments, he moved and kissed her other thigh.
Before he realized what had happened she had flipped him up over her as she flipped with him and straddled him. "You want to tease, huh?" She asked him slyly as she grabbed his delicate sack and pulled. His hips bucked and she moved down him and took him into her mouth, but only the tip. He started panting as she rubbed him with her hand and let her tongue snake its way around him. He put his hands in her hair as waves of pleasure ran through him. She released him and he moaned. She laughed. "How does it feel?" she asked as she moved up and got up on her knees. She slid herself down on him half way, and as soon as his hips rose to meet her, she pulled off of him.
"Alright! I'm sorry!" He told her quickly, as he tried to force her back down on him, but her legs were too strong.
"Oh, you'll be sorry, alright," she told him playfully as she did it again.
He was quaking. "Please, Kahlan!" He pleaded as he tried to raise himself up, but she just rose with him making sure he couldn't insert himself completely. He settled back to the bed and she reached behind her and rubbed the stop between his base and his balls. He moaned in pleasure as she slid down him a little more, and she giggled as she rose off of him again. "Alright! You win! Please, Babe!" She smiled; that's all she wanted to hear, so she lowered herself down on him completely. "Oh, God!" he yelled. She was so tight against him he almost lost all control.
She rode him slowly and deeply. She could feel him trying to make her go faster and she knew he was getting close. "Not yet!" she demanded and pulled off of him. He rolled them over and quickly used his fingers to bring her closer to the edge. He heard a gasp escape her as he angled his fingers to rub her g-spot. He smiled and took one of her breasts into his mouth. She ran her hands up and down his back letting her nails give him a little painful pleasure. He moaned again, and he was sure some of the scratches were bleeding, but he didn't care.
Once he knew she was ready he moved in between her legs. Her heat engulfed him and he rocked his hips faster. She met every one of his thrusts with one of her own and they both rode the waves of pleasure over the edge together. He thrust a few more times and then collapsed besides her, breathing just as heavily as she was. She scooted closer to him and smiled. "I'm pretty sure you made me hear thunder, and I know I felt lightning strike me," she told him as she snuggled up against him and laid her head on his chest.
He laughed and hugged her tightly.
"It's been way too long."
He smiled at her as he threw the cover over them. "Way too long," he agreed.

Hotch awoke sleepily and saw that Kahlan was still sleeping peacefully in his arms. He sighed contently because he knew that everything was actually going to be alright. He looked over at the alarm clock. It was only 7:23. He had the day off after their late return the night before, so he snuggled back up against her and to go back to sleep.
When he woke up again, his arms were empty. He looked at the clock and it was already after eleven. Damn! He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and got up to go to the bathroom. He found Kahlan in the kitchen and realized that the smell of bacon cooking is what probably had woken him up.
Kahlan turned when she heard him on the steps. She smiled as she took him in. He was only wearing a pair of sweat pants. She bit her lip as she saw the marks she had left on him the night before. Hotch smiled as he realized what she was looking at. "Apparently, someone didn't eat dinner last night," he told her as he rubbed one particularly dark mark on his right peck.
She chuckled. "Then you shouldn't look good enough to eat."
He pulled her into a kiss. "Morning, Babe."
"Morning, Hun," she told him as she reached around and pinched his butt.
"Hey!" He jumped and pulled away from her. "Need any help?" He asked as he eyed the eggs and bacon.
"You can put the toast down," she told him as she flipped the bacon over.
He turned, put the toast down, and grabbed the butter out of the fridge.
"Jesus, Aaron! I'm so sorry!" she told him as she saw his back. There were several long welts and several long cuts going down his back.
"What?" He asked desperately, not knowing what she was sorry for.
"Your poor back! I guess I got a little carried away," she told him sheepishly.
"Oh. It's nothing," he told her with a smile. "Anything special planned for today?"
She turned back to the stove and smiled as she looked at him out of the corner of her eye. She flicked her brows at him and he almost dropped the knife in his hand. She laughed. "We do have two months to make up for," she told him with a sly grin. "Unless you're too worn out."
He huffed. "Never!" He told her as he turned and buttered the bread as she fixed their plates. He put the toast on the plates and followed her to the table with two cups of coffee. They ate and talked, and enjoyed the rare quiet time together.

By the end of the day they were soaking in their tub. Hotch was lying in the back with Kahlan leaned up against his chest. His legs and arms both felt a little like jello, and he realized that the day's repeated activities had been the most physical exertion he had done in a long time. He sighed contently as he rubbed bubbles over Kahlan's shoulders. She craned her head to look at him. "What are you thinking?"
He smiled. "That I'm the luckiest man in the world."
Her brows furrowed. "You think that even after everything I've put you through?"
"Yes!" He told her as he hugged her to him tightly. "To have you back, makes me the luckiest man in the world," he told her and kissed her on the head.
She turned and relaxed against him again. "Then it's a good thing you said 'man' because I would have had to argue with you if you had said 'person'."
He chuckled. "God, I love you so much!" He wrapped his arms around her again.
She leaned back against him more snugly and hugged his arms. "I love you more!"
He chuckled again. And if that's the only arguing we really do, then I am the luckiest man in the world! "No. I love you more!"
She laughed as she pushed his arms away from her. "No. I do!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!" He demanded as he pushed on her shoulders and dunked her under the water.
She coughed and sputtered as he broke the surface. "Ok! You win!"
He smiled at her and she relaxed against him again. "That's right!"
After a moment she turned to him again. "I want to have a cookout this weekend, and I want your team and Will and Henry to come."
He smiled. If she wanted to see the team, then he really knew things were going to be ok. "Ok, I'll tell them in the morning. I just hope we don't get a case."
Kahlan hid the smile on her face.
