After their kissing session Hotch left for the bathroom to clean himself up, he grabbed his clothes on the way. Once inside he sat on the white tiled floors, thinking of what he had just done. That was wrong he thought. What about Haley? How could you do that to her? His own mind becoming Jiminy Cricket, the angel on his shoulder telling him he was a bastard. As with all angel on the shoulder there is always demon on the other. His thoughts turned to Reid screaming in pleasure under him. Wow, he's amazing. Not wanting her to think he had jumped out the window and run away or more likely broken his leg, Hotch pulled on his clothes and washed up then went back to the main room. Reid was dressed as well and already channel surfing.
"Better?" He asked not looking up.
"Uh, yeah thanks." Hotch sat down on the bed, giving Spencer his back. What should he say? What should he do? Seeing his awkwardness Reid dropped the remote on the bed, got up on on his knees and wrapped his arms around Hotch. He froze. Reid turned his head away from the camera and kissed his neck.
"I won't tell anyone I promise. After this case we'll forget it ever happened. Okay?" Hotch nodded, though he knew they would never forget what they had done. It had been too amazing to forget. Spencer kissed the other side of his neck.
"But we will have to get that tape and destroy it." Hotch was thankful Reid was whispering into his ear. He turned and stood pulling Reid up with him.
"Come on, Sodi."
"Where are we going?"
"Well you are all sweaty, I think you need a shower." He smiled.
"Let me guess, you need one too and want to save water and time?" He chuckled as he pushed him through the door.
"Maybe not time." Hotch replied as he shut the door behind. Now done with the camera they could talk.
"Don't think I regret it Reid." He mumbled. "Its just I'm married." Reid leaned against the white sink and spoke.
"I know, we just got carried away. It never happened, not because we regret it, it was amazing, but because of what it would do to our careers. We can still work together as friends right?" He gave Hotch a soft smile.
"Yes, of course." Reid pushed himself up.
"Good. Then its settled. Nothing happened, we are just friends...excepted when we are being Sodi and Charlie."

Long after their discussion they had retired to the silk bed to sleep. There was no noise except the ticking of a clock striking 2AM and the soft breathing of Hotchner and Reid. There was a click as the door to their room opened, neither sutured as a tall man walked over to Hotch, the man placed the barrel of a Ruger SR9 to Hotch's temple causing his eyes to fly open. Seeing the gun and the second pointed at a sleeping Reid Hotch didn't yell.
"You think you can just take advantage of such a young man?" His voice was angry and caused Reid to wake.
"Oh my God!" He gasped.
"Sodi, it's okay." Hotchner used his most calming voice.
"No Sodi it's not okay. This monster has taken advantage of you and when you get too old he'll just replace you." The man gestures with one gun to a pair of zip ties on the bed. "Put them on him." Reid obeyed. Once Hotch was bound he asked. "Tell me Charles, did you ever love this boy?"
"Yes of course I love him, we've been together for years." The intruder made a disappointing sound and point spoke again.
"Don't lie to me Charles. No one starts dating a eighteen year old because they love them, especially not someone your age." There was a click in Hotch's head, only people in the lobby could know they had been together since he was eighteen. The families face came to him, it was dark but the man before him was the same man from the resection desk, Steven. The man noticed a small bruise beginning to show on Reid's thigh.
"You holding him down? You rape an innocent boy and call it love?" The receptionist looked to Reid. "You don't have to hide what he does from me. How he hurts you." Suddenly a new character fell upon Reid, this one was scared, quiet and beaten.
"He does hurt me." The man looked shocked Reid had admitted what Hotch had done. No one else had they had all protected their partners until the end, that is why he killed the younger men. Death was kinder than them having to lie for the rest of their lives.
"You admit he hurts you?" He asked eyes locked on Reid.
"Yes, H...he...does." He muttered tears running down his face. Hotch was shocked how good a performance Reid was giving. Reid shuffled down the bed and Steven moved back slightly then turned the gun from Reid to Hotch. "Will, will you take me away from him? Please." Hotch could almost see Spencer pulling at Steven's heart strings. The receptionist put one of the guns back in the waist band of his pants and held a hand out to Reid (or a beaten Sodi as he was playing), Reid took his hand and climbed off the be. Reid gripped the man's waist and cried while Steven did his utmost to calm him down. The second he took his eyes from Hotch, Aaron launched at him pinning the man to the floor. The Ruger that slid from his hand was quickly aimed at his head by Reid. The second slid across the floor as Hotch pulled his handcuffs from under the mattress, where he had hidden them days ago. Once he was bound Reid cut Hotch loose so he could read Steven his rights and giggle somewhat at Steven's shocked face.
