Chapter 28
fair warning: smut included in this chapter
Hotch stood in the middle of his living room still, with his hand to his forehead.
He hadn't moved from that spot since he got off the phone with Emily.
A few minutes later there was a knock at the front door. He snapped out of the state of mind he was in and walked over to it. He opened it and stared at Emily.
She had no makeup on and her hair was tied back into a ponytail with a strand of hair on each side of her face hanging down at the front and the bandage on her forehead from being hit earlier.
It was her natural hair that he loved. It was wavy, almost curly. He'd only seen it and her without makeup, once before, that night in the hotel in the lobby when they both had to grab toiletries and towels from the front desk.
This time, she wasn't wearing pajamas. She was wearing a black tank top and skinny jeans with her black converse. He loved how she could pull off any outfit.
"Aaron?", she asked.
He shook his head. "Sorry, come in.", he said, opening the door wider, letting her walk in.
Once he closed the door, she walked up to him and took his suit jacket off for him and laid it on the back of the couch.
She came back to him and grabbed his hands, dragging him over to sit down on it.
"What happened?", she asked, stroking his hands.
"I don't know... We got into a big fight earlier about me going to Milwaukee but I didn't think she would just pack up and leave... It's been over for a while. We aren't in love anymore; I know that... but for her to just take Jack and leave without even writing a note...", he said, looking down.
"Do you know where they are?", she asked, looking down, trying to reach his eyes.
"I called her multiple times and she finally answered. She said they were at her sister's house. They're going to stay there until she finds a more... permanent living situation or waits till I move out...", he said.
She brought a hand up to his neck and stroked it, while the other one went to his shoulder. "Aaron... I'm so sorry... what can I do?", she asked.
He looked up at her with tears in his eyes that hadn't come out yet. "Stay with me...", he whispered.
She'd never seen him cry before and rolled her lips in, looking at him with sad eyes. She grabbed his head and shoulder, bringing him to lean into her chest and stroked his hair. He wrapped an arm around her back and hugged her side with his other.
"Of course.", she whispered, placing a kiss on his neck. "I'll stay however long you want me to.", she said.
She felt a tear drop on her chest and she wiped it off and brought her hand back to his hair. She held him there, close to 20 minutes. Once she could feel his eyes closing, she said, "I think you should go to bed now. Come on, I'll help you up."
He lifted his head from her chest and stood up at the same time that she did.
They walked upstairs and went in his room. He immediately yet slowly, took his shoes, socks, and tie off, tossing it on the ground, not caring about nice it was. Next, he unbuckled his pants and unbuttoned his shirt, throwing it to the side. Finally, he pulled his pants down and threw them on the ground, leaving him in only his boxers.
Emily just stared at him. It's not like she hadn't seen him like that before. She'd even seen him completely naked but for some reason, now, it felt awkward.
Haley had taken the sheets off the bed when doing the laundry earlier that day, which actually felt like it was perfect, seeing as how Emily would be sleeping in the bed with him.
He went to the closet in the hall and grabbed new sheets and pillowcases and she helped him put them on.
He got in bed once they were done, on Haley's side, so Emily could take his.
She stood there, watching him get under the covers.
"I'm sorry, does this make you uncomfortable...?", he asked.
"What? No.", she said, taking her shoes off and getting in the bed with him.
"You know, Em... I don't care if you take your jeans off. I mean, I'm only in my boxers... But I can totally put pants and a shirt on if it's weird for you.", he said.
"Aaron, I've slept next to you when you had no clothes on. You're fine.", she said, getting up and taking her jeans off, setting them on the ground and reaching under and up her tank top to unhook her bra and dropped it to the floor as well. He watched her slim body walk back into bed with him. She pulled the sheets up and he reached for the lamp, turning the light off.
Once they were in the mainly dark room, he rolled over to face her and put his forehead almost to hers. He brought his hand to under her thigh beneath the covers and rubbed it up and down. She took her hand to his face and stroked it with her thumb. They could still see each other's features because it wasn't pitch black in the room.
"I'm sorry I dragged you over here so late. It's just, you're my closest friend and probably the only person who knows everything that's going on right now.", he said.
"Aaron, it's okay. I'd do so much for you. I love you...", she whispered at the end.
"I love you too, Em.", he said, staring at her and then leaning in and placed his lips on hers.
Feeling how soft they were, he wanted more. He pulled her leg over him and her body closer, pressed against his.
She ran her fingers through his hair as her other wrapped around his neck. He let his other hand hold onto her face.
Their tongues danced around with each other's. He brought his lips to her neck and started leaving gentle kisses on it.
He could feel himself getting hard under his boxers and wanted her so badly. But he didn't know if they should do it or not. Not until she reached her hand down and brought it to his hard member and started rubbing it. He let out an uncontrollable moan as she continued.
She sat up and pulled her tank top off and brought herself back down, laying on top of him, straddling him. His mouth dropped open, staring at her breasts again. He slid his hands up all the way
from her thighs to her ass. He then brought them up to her sides, feeling her ribs along the way and around in front to her breasts. He took one in each hand, grabbing them tight. His eyes moved back to hers and this time, he bit his lip.
She couldn't take it any longer. She needed him inside her. She got on her knees, between his legs and slid her underwear off and once they were tossed to the side, she slid his boxers down and threw them off the bed. She slowly got back on top of him and didn't even have to do anything to help him get harder because he was already as far along as he could get. And he didn't have to do anything for her, seeing as how she was already wet enough.
As much as she wanted to ride him like crazy, it was a soft, passionate, slow moment they had. She grabbed him in her hand and lined him up with her, his head entering her slowly, sinking down on him more as they both moaned and she threw her head back. He could feel her walls, tight around him.
"Oooo... you're so tight, Em.", he moaned, his hands on her hips.
"Mmmm.", she moaned, slowly taking the rest of him in her.
Once she felt her skin touch his when she hit the bottom, she fell onto him, crashing her lips onto his.
She whispered in his ear, "I am... because you're so big.", she kissed his neck. She felt his cock twitch inside her as she said that.
With her walls adjusted around him, he flipped her over before she could even begin to ride him. He immediately slid out partially and back in. His legs between hers, his body almost touching hers, over it. He steadied himself on his elbows and sides of his arms next to her head.
He started moving in and out of her at a slow, steady pace, slick against her.
She brought her hand to the mold of his perfectly sculpted ass and the other to his back, running her fingers up and down his back muscles. He kissed her neck, breathing heavy against it.
This was all she'd wanted ever since last time they were together. She'd missed this, him like this, them like this, her feeling like this.
He picked up the pace, gradually but wasn't going too rough, trying to savor the sweet moment they were sharing. He brought his face back to hers and his hand to her hair, stroking it. He looked in her eyes and then kissed her deep as she moaned into his lips.
He brought his lips to her ear and groaned quietly and slowly, "Oh goddd... Em... I'm so close."
She allowed herself to be more vocal and help herself along. She began to bring her hand to her clit but he blocked it and said, "No. You're mine. I take care of you."
She brought her hand to his face and kissed him, opening her mouth to shoot her tongue in his. But right as she did, her mouth opened, wide, making what he thought was the most beautiful oh face he'd ever seen. He rubbed her clit just right and she began to whimper.
"I love you so much, Em.", he said out of breath, bringing himself closer, looking in her eyes. She tried to say it back but struggled at first, too speechless from the sensation she was feeling in the moment.
Somehow, she managed to get out in pants, "I love you, Aaron. So fucking much.", she bit her lip and traced the outline of his jaw delicately with her fingertips, as he went in for a kiss.
As he continued working his magic on her, she felt herself reaching her point and let him know.
"Aaron, right there... yes... oh god... I'm gonna come... Aaron, I'm gonna come.", she whined, softly. She held onto his back and he kept pumping in and out of her and moving his fingers around her.
He felt himself reaching his point and all he needed was the feeling of her clenching down on him to finish him off.
"Come for me, Em. God you're so sweet. I just wanna feel you release everything all over me. Come on, come for me.", he panted. He felt her tightening around him. "Yes, that's it, just like that, Em. Fuck, you're so tight, let me feel you squeeze me.", he said.
"Ah... Aaron... ooooooh. Mmmmm, fuck me good.", she said, not letting herself go alone. She couldn't hold on any longer, it hit her hard. Now that they were alone and she was able to, she screamed. "Yes! Yes! Ohhh, Aaron, fuck yes! Oh my god...", she screamed.
She fluttered around his length and that's all he needed to hit his own point.
He slowed down his speed as he spurted his hot juices into her.
"Fuck, Em... ah shit... ahhhh ahh ahhhh you're so fucking good.", he groaned.
They both rode out their highs as he let himself lay on top of her, skin touching skin.
He stayed inside her for a while as he kissed her neck and moved his hands along her body. Pushing up into her more, he felt how sweet she was and didn't want to leave her warm passage but pulled out anyways to lay down next to her.
He brought her close, under the covers, just like their first night together in the hotel. He lifted her leg over him, and pulled her close just like the position they were in before their clothes came off earlier. He held her back and combed the strand of hair from her ponytail coming out, behind her ear and smiled.
"How is it possible to look this gorgeous after what we just did?", he said.
"You're not so bad, yourself.", she giggled.
He laughed along with her and planted a kiss on her lips with his hand on her face, stroking it after he pulled his lips off hers.
"You know this can't be a permanent thing? Us doing this.", she said.
"But didn't it feel good? Not having to worry about anyone overhearing us or feeling guilty about us being able to share our love together in such an intimate way now?", he asked. "Why do we have to end this? There's nothing really standing in our way now.", he said.
"Aaron, there are still some things that need to be worked out. It doesn't matter how much I love you, which I do... very much. I just think that we need to not get ahead of ourselves. At least not any more than we already have.", she said, tracing his cheekbone and running her fingers up into his hair. He drew small circles on her back and kissed her along her collarbone.
"I know. You're right.", he said. "I'm glad you came over tonight, though."
She bit her lip and smiled. "Me too.", she said.
"I love you so much, Emily.", he said, staring in her eyes, a tear trickling down his face.
"I love you too.", she said, wiping it away and kissing his cheek. "I'm so sorry about everything..."
"I saw it coming for a while. There were a lot of issues but there's nothing to do now. It's over. I'm just glad you're here by my side.", he said, kissing her.
"I'm glad I could be.", she said.
"How's your head?", he asked.
"After being here with you, doing what we just did, I completely forgot about it.", she said.
"Good. Do you need anything for it? Ice, Tylenol? Whatever you want.", he said.
"No. I'm good. I have you to keep me comfortable.", she smiled.
"Just let me know, okay?", he said.
"I will.", she said. He kissed her forehead next to the bandage and brought his lips back down to hers.
"You really wore me out. We should get some sleep.", he laughed.
"Definitely.", she kissed him and turned over, back facing him and he spooned her, holding her close and kissing her neck.
"Goodnight, Em.", he said, resting his arm over her back, on her bare stomach.
She reached for his hand and kept it there.
"Goodnight, Aaron. I love you.", she said, stroking his hand.
"I love you too.", he said, kissing her neck once more before nuzzling his head against it.
