O'Keefe's bar was thriving on Saturday night, the atmosphere was almost euphoric. JJ was on her 3rd cocktail and was beginning to feel its effects. Penelope had insisted that they get fully dressed up that night, declaring that it would make them look older and then they wouldn't have to battle with bar staff to get served.
JJ was adorned in sage green dress, complimenting her skin tone and the colour of her eyes beautifully. A tall pair of nude heels made her legs look impossibly long and toned. She really did look hot tonight. Penelope had gone for a dress also, it was common for her, but even JJ wasn't prepared for the corseted number she displayed, giving everyone an eyeful. She could've sworn she almost saw Derek's eyes pop out of their sockets when he saw them walking towards him on the street earlier that evening.
"Ladies are we going to keep sitting her drinking or are we gonna get our asses up there and dance?!" he shouted over the blaring music of the bar.
"I've had just enough alcohol to feel brave enough to dance, Pen are you coming?" JJ spoke excitedly.
"I would never miss out on dancing between you two hotties! Let's go!" she squealed.
'Tuesday' by Burak Yeter was playing loudly as they got onto the busy dancefloor; the beat perfect for the kind of dancing JJ was displaying that evening. Penelope was stood in front of JJ; she took advantage of her position and placed her hands on top of the curvy blonde's shoulders and moved against her back. Derek was on the other side of Pen, he was staring straight at JJ whilst he moved to the music, trying to get JJ's attention, to which she was oblivious.
"Jayje! Is that Prentiss over there with Professor Hotchner?!" he ducked his head, so he was within earshot.
JJ's head shot up and her eyes went wide, turning to look towards where her friend had pointed. Jesus fucking Christ she thought to herself. Emily Prentiss, dressed in possibly the most provocative little black dress was sat meters away from where she was dancing. She felt herself get impossibly hot at the thought, wondering if Emily had noticed her yet. She turned her head back to her friends, pulling her bottom lip between her teeth as the nerves began to overwhelm her.
"Yup, that's her! Do you think she saw us?" she shouted back to Derek, watching his eyes avert to the table where their professors were sat.
"I'm not sure, I hope not! I don't fancy my chances if we get caught in here, they know we are all underage!" he squeezed his eyes shut at the thought.
"You guys, they're not going to get us kicked out. They're out for a night out like us, why would they bother going to the trouble, half of this place is filled with students who are probably not of age!" Penelope piped up from in between the two of them.
"Jeez, Emily is looking hot tonight JJ! I hope she sees you and comes to dance." she smirked at JJ, the expression on the blonde's face making her giggle.
"Penelope, no meddling. Dancing with my professor is not on the list of things to do tonight!" JJ groaned at the thought, half in embarrassment and half in desire to feel the brunette move against her as they danced.
"Dave, why the hell would you bring us to a place like this?! I swear half of the kids in this bar are our students!" Hotch shouted over the music, his eyes moving across the room taking in the people.
"Aaron, you need to relax. And this place is awesome, the atmosphere is always great here and it's Prentiss' first night out since she's been back in town. It's Saturday night, cut me some slack!" Rossi declared.
"I do believe you owe me another drink then old man, for my troubles. Emily, would you like to have a dance?" Hotch glanced over to the brunette.
"Sure Hotch, let's go get our groove on!" she smiled brightly at the older guy; he was turning out to be a little more fun than she had first expected.
They had been out for hours only to be dragged to this bar by Rossi. She took the hand that was held out for her, and they made their way over to the packed dancefloor. Hotch was a married man so there was no touching whilst they danced together, she was thankful for that. She looked around her at the people, who were mostly close to her age. She caught a glimpse of blonde hair before it disappeared into the crowd. She could've sworn it looked familiar. Brushing it off, she turned her attention back to the man dancing in front of her, shortly being joined by the other member of their trio.
"Shit! JJ switch places with me quick, she's coming up here!" Derek muttered in the blonde's ear, yanking her by the wrist to change their positions. This way she would be hidden behind a group that had gathered next to them. The trio continued to dance; JJ's eyes firmly planted on the brunette moving in the sultriest way. Watching Emily dance, swaying her hips in time to the music made it impossible for JJ to take her eyes off her, if she got caught, she'd die right there and then. What she would do for a dance with the brunette professor, she thought to herself. She averted her gaze back to Derek, silently hoping they wouldn't get any attention from either of their professors that were dancing meters away from them.
"Dude, are you okay?" Derek shouted at her again, snapping her out of her thoughts.
JJ just nodded back, trying to focus on dancing with her friends instead of the feeling that something bad was about to go down. She took Penelope's hand and twirled her around, making the curvy blonde bump into Derek, and then into her, pushing her back into the person behind her. She turned to apologise and was met with the dark brown eyes of her professor. Fucking shit. She wanted to turn back to her friends and pretend she hadn't just flown straight into the brunette but couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Jennifer! What are you doing here?! Are you ok?" Emily asked loudly, trying to get the blonde's attention.
"Emily! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to fall into you, are you okay?" JJ replied just as loud as the brunette had.
"I'm fine honey, it happens! I didn't expect to see you here." She smiled brightly, almost looking too happy to see the young woman.
"Ahh well we came to blow off some steam! I can never say no to a bit of dancing." JJ laughed; her eyes still fixed on the brunette's face. She was so unbelievably beautiful, JJ found herself captivated every time she saw her, it was dangerous.
"Me too, I think Hotch bailed on me though. Do you want to dance?" Emily offered kindly, holding a hand out for the blonde to join her.
"Uhh, yeah sure." JJ took Emily's hand and felt the brunette pull her in a little closer. The thought of Emily being this close to her sent sparks flying through her body, lighting the fire within her stomach. She swallowed hard as she watched the brunette begin to move, taking a chance to rake her eyes up and down her body. Emily had to be wearing a tight dress, her ample cleavage on show giving JJ more than enough to fuel her fantasies. JJ wanted the image of Emily moving so close to her etched in her mind forever.
"Are you just going to stand there or are you going to dance Jennifer?" Emily's tone was almost sinful, JJ had to suppress the moan that was threatening to fall from her mouth. JJ snapped out of her trance and starting dancing, letting herself step further towards the brunette. She knew this was not a good idea, the way she felt about Emily was already risky, but she couldn't help the invisible force pulling her towards the older woman. Another song began to play over the speaker, 'Do I Wanna Know' by the Arctic Monkeys was a sexy song, it's the kind of music you'd get railed within an inch of your life to. JJ was surprised when Emily spun on her heels, facing away from the blonde and pushing further into the blonde's body.
JJ squeezed her eyes shut in an attempt to regain some self-control, all she wanted to do was grab Emily by the hips and grind against her. Emily was being insanely provocative, whether that was her true intention was unknown to JJ, but she was finding it harder and harder by the second not to act on the desire roaring through her body. Someone bumped into JJ from behind, pushing her into Emily's back. What the fuck is wrong with people constantly bumping into each other tonight, JJ thought to herself. She was battling internally when she felt a hand grasp her wrist, Emily pulled her hand to her hip and held it there.
It was a silent blessing for the blonde to touch her, so JJ grabbed hold of Emily's waist, pulling her flush against her front. She had to bite her tongue to stop the moan from tumbling out of her mouth when she felt the brunette ass brush against her groin, eyes fluttering shut at the sensation. They stayed moving together for what felt like forever but was only the duration of that song. JJ was thankful that Emily was facing away from her so she couldn't see the deep pink blush that had covered her face, travelling down her chest as she got more and more turned on by the second.
She hadn't noticed the eyes of her friends watching them closely, Derek smirking at the unexpected turn of events that night, Penelope was failing to contain her excitement as she watched the two women dance together. JJ had an arm around the brunette's waist, holding her impossibly close to her front, feeling Emily grinding against her hips was making her heart pound in her chest, how could she be so turned on just by dancing with someone. The song switched again, a slower yet equally as sexy beat filled the air. She felt Emily turn in her arms, making JJ realise just how close they were. Matching her height thanks to the tall heels JJ wore that evening, they were eye to eye. JJ could feel the brunette's gasping breath against her the skin of her cheek, making her shiver as she felt every hair on her body stand on end.
She needed some air, the combination of the alcohol and the movements of the older woman's body against her own began to overwhelm her. She didn't want to run away but knew that it was the only way she'd be able to stop herself from doing something stupid. JJ decided to take her chance, releasing the brunette from her grasp and made a beeline for the door. She held her head down to the floor, and all but ran out of the bar, hearing Emily shout for her as she crashed through the door and out into the cold air of the night.
Emily panicked, knowing she had probably pushed her luck making the young blonde dance so closely to her, her expression turned to worry as she moved to follow the blonde out of the door and onto the balcony to the rear of the building.
"Jennifer, what's going on? Are you okay?" she approached the blonde who was stood against the railing of the decking.
"Hey! I'm fine, sorry I just needed to get some air. It's way too hot in there." JJ smiled nervously.
"Jen, I'm sorry if that was inappropriate. I don't know what came over me. You sure you're okay?" she sounded so worried, it made JJ feel guilty.
"I'm fine I promise. I think I just need to go home." she offered an apologetic smile.
"Do you want me to take you back to campus? I can drive you back, I only had a glass of wine." She offered sweetly, hoping that the blonde would accept.
"Oh, it's okay, I can get a cab. I need to tell Pen and Derek I'm going." she mumbled.
"Jennifer, I am not letting you get a cab this late. I would never sleep not knowing if you got home safe. Please, let me do this for you, even if it is just for my peace of mind." Emily pleaded with the blonde.
"Fine, just give me a minute to go and tell them." she disappeared back through the door.
Emily took the moment alone to gather herself, wondering if offering the blonde a ride back had been the best idea. She shook off the weird feeling that closed over her, she felt bad for pushing the blonde to dance with her in the first place but admitting to herself that she had enjoyed feeling the young woman move against her so closely. After a few minutes, JJ reappeared.
"Emily, are you sure you don't want to stay? I really don't mind getting a cab." she sounded nervous, and tired when she spoke.
"Jen don't be silly. We weren't even supposed to come here tonight so believe when I say I am more than happy to get out of here. Come on, I'm parked just down the road." she pointed, placing a hand on the blonde's arm to guide her.
"Okay, let's go I'm freezing!" JJ let out a small laugh.
They tumbled back into the bar, Emily grabbed her purse from the table her colleagues occupied, giving some bullshit excuse for cutting out early. The cool air was somewhat sobering as they walked down the road to Emily's vehicle. Emily pulled her keys out, unlocking the black Range Rover Evoque and moving to open the passenger door for JJ. The blonde took a deep breath before watching the brunette climb in and buckle up.
The journey wasn't long in reality, but it was silent, making it feel like it dragged on forever. As Emily pulled up the front of student accommodation building, she turned the key and unbuckled her seatbelt before moving out of the car to open JJ's door again. JJ couldn't help but think how sweet it was that she made the gesture.
"Jennifer, I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable tonight. It wasn't my intention, I guess I just got slightly carried away." Emily offered an apologetic smile for the second time that night, the guilt rising in the blonde once more as she watched the brunette shuffle awkwardly on her heels.
"Please Emily, it's fine. There's no denying that you're an incredibly attractive woman and my natural instincts took over before my brain had a chance to register what was happening." she revealed, watching Emily's eyes go wide at the admission. She silently cursed herself for being so open.
"I can't deny the same about you Jennifer, but it was inappropriate of me to even ask you to dance, let alone do it the way I did. That being said, I enjoyed myself, and I hope you did too, up until that point anyway." JJ watched Emily's face intently, eyes turning almost black as she spoke. She always appeared so confident and sure of herself, but JJ could see the tinge of nervousness in her expression.
JJ took a step towards Emily, who was stood with her back to the car and closed the distance. She wanted to pull the brunette in for a hug, to reassure her that she really was okay, and that she didn't feel anywhere near as uncomfortable as she was assuming. JJ had already battled enough with herself that night, wanting to just let go of everything bit of hesitation she held onto when it came to the beautiful woman in front of her. She wished things were different, that Emily wasn't her teacher, and that they weren't potentially making a huge mistake by the actions that were taken that night.
"Emily, please..." JJ pleaded quietly, taking another step closer to the brunette so she was then pushed up against the panel of the vehicle. She wrapped her arms around the older woman's waist and pulled her in for a warm embrace. Emily sunk into her arms, returning it immediately as she rested her chin on the blonde's shoulder. JJ wanted to stay like that forever, the warmth radiating from the brunette's body was comforting and she couldn't help but feel the overwhelming urge to kiss Emily. JJ felt herself pull away just enough to whisper into Emily's ear.
"I have no regrets Emily, feeling you move against me like that tonight set my entire body on fire. I could feel myself losing my control, because all I wanted to do was pull you in and kiss you like it was the last thing I would do on this earth. I didn't want to do anything stupid, so I ran. I'm sorry." JJ's voice was low, just loud enough that only Emily would be able to hear her words.
Emily heard the quiet moan fall from her lips before she had the chance to even think about biting her tongue. She felt JJ pull away from her quickly, gazing deep into ocean blue eyes as she watched the desire fill them. JJ didn't know how to react to the noise that escaped the brunette, that was the last thing she had expected. She turned her head slightly, placing a gentle kiss to the older woman's cheek before taking a step back and regaining control and distance between the two of them.
"Goodnight Emily, thank you for a wonderful evening." she offered a sweet smile.
"Goodnight Jennifer." Emily returned the smile before watching the blonde saunter towards the entrance to her building, turning around to look and smile at the brunette once more before she went in through the door and disappeared before her eyes. She found herself glued to her spot, feeling shocked and slightly regretful for not returning the sweet gesture the blonde had displayed.
JJ glanced back through the window to the front doors of her dorm building, searching to see if Emily had left yet when she noticed the brunette's eyes looking in her direction, her hand lifting to graze the cheek in which she had kissed. JJ couldn't help but feel a little confused at the way the brunette looked awestruck at what had happened, and it set off the butterflies in her stomach. She watched Emily grin to herself and shake her head slightly before turning around to get back into her car.
