A/N: Thank you for the reviews and alerts! I know I left the 'her' in Hotch and Dave's phone call unknown but Hotch is not married (happily divorced) or dating anyone. I don't like the cheating thing so Hotch is totally single. I should have explained that before but I didn't. Sorry! Enjoy the next chapter!
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Chapter 2: Just a Kiss
The next night Aaron went back to the same bar. Upon entering he gazed around looking for the beautiful brunette but he couldn't find her. Walking up to the bar he ordered a drink and sat down on a stool. He spent most of the day just walking the streets trying to figure out what he was going to do when he got home but he still hadn't decided when he came to the bar. On one hand he could agree and his life would change forever or he could put his foot down and possible lose everything that meant anything to him.
Aaron took a gulp of the liquid the bartender poured then turned to look for the woman again ignoring the thoughts rolling around his head. He knew the chances of seeing her again weren't in his favor but he looked anyway. Frowning as he came up empty again he swallowed the last of his drink then stood from his seat ready to leave.
"Leaving already?" the sultry voice came from behind him. Turning he smiled.
"Wouldn't dream of it." He told her sitting down again and patting the stool next to him for her. The deep red dress she wore hugged her curves just right and he took full advantage of the sight.
The brunette smiled shyly at him noticing where his eyes were. "Did you come here to find me?" she asked raising an eyebrow. Emily's heart was racing. She noticed him the minute he stepped into the bar but when he moved to leave her feet took over. She purposely came to this bar to see if he was a regular but she had no clue what she would say if he actually showed.
Aaron shrugged. "What if I did?" he liked the way she played with him. The man wasn't normally one to hit on a woman but it was something about the brunette that made him want to know more. Her eyes pierced his making him swallow hard.
"Well I might just say I find it creepy. Are you going to progress to stalking next?" she tried to sound serious but the smile tugging at her lips betrayed her.
"Not normally but for you I might make an exception." He teased hoping she didn't see the heat in his cheeks. Not being the best at the whole flirting thing he normally just skipped that part but with her it felt easy and fun. Both something he desperately needed.
Emily laughed then bit her lip. "So what are you doing here?" she turned on her stool to face the bar.
"This bar? Drinking. Paris? I'm not sure. Vacation I guess." He told her vaguely motioning for another drink. His thoughts went back to his reasons for making the trip to Paris then he shook them off. "What about you?" he asked her with a dimpled smile.
"Vacation, family thing." She answered just as vaguely shrugging slightly. She had no intention of telling him who she was or anything real about her. They were just flirting harmlessly. Nothing would come of it she told herself but her racing heart had other plans.
"Are you from here?" the look on her face told him she wasn't telling. "I wasn't trying to figure out where you live." He reassured her. "You just said family thing so I was just making small talk."
Emily nodded. "No, I'm not from here but I have family here." she answered turning her attention to the music playing. Her fingers drummed lightly on the bar counter.
"What about your name? Can I know that?" he smiled mischievously at her. The mystery was somewhat getting to him. He at least wanted a name.
Emily frowned. "Doesn't that take all the fun out of it?" she didn't mind telling him her first name or knowing his but more than that she was not going to let happen. This vacation was to spend time alone and figure out her next move not to have a fling with a gorgeous man.
He nodded slowly. "I guess but then what do I call you? Honey? No you're not the honey type." He shook his head as a beautiful smile graced her lips once more. "Babe?" her sobered look told him how she felt about that. "Guess not. Oh I got it." He pointed at her. "Sweetheart. I like that, you seen like a sweetheart." he laughed as she giggled shaking her head.
"You will never know what I am." She shot him a look.
Aaron leaned in close to her so she would here over the music "Would you like to dance, sweetheart?" he pointed to the small dance floor on the other end of the bar. A few other couples were dancing too.
Emily bit her lip. Her head was saying no but her heart was screaming yes. "Sure but stop with the name." she took his pre-offered hand and followed him to the floor. He turned her in his arms pulling her body in close to his. She could smell the light scent of his drink on his breath as their faces came closer together. A shiver ran through her as his hands grasped at her hips and his eyes noticeably darkened.
"Then what do I call you?" he asked her but she just winked and continued dancing. Aaron relished in the feel of her body so close to his. Her hips swayed with the beat and her hands ran up is chest to hold at his shoulders. The smile on her lips teased his eyes as her tongue darted out to wet them. Something in him yelled at him to stop but he just couldn't listen. The woman was intoxicating. Her dark curls bounced down her back and across her face. Everything about her was pulling him in.
After a few moments Emily turned so her back was to him. She smiled as his arms ran over her waist and hips and around her stomach locking her in his space. The feel of his soft breath on her neck made her stomach tighten with arousal.
"You are so beautiful." Aaron whispered in her ear. He didn't know how his confidence built that one up but it just came out and he ran with it.
By the end of the song they both were panting slightly and holding onto one another. Emily let her hold of his forearms go and turned in his hold. Her eyes darkened and voice husky she whispered "Thanks for the dance but I have to go." She gently broke his hold on her and moved away but not fast enough.
Aaron grabbed her wrist "Hey that's it?" he stood dumbfounded. Why would she dance like that with him then just leave. They were basically having sex fully clothed right there on the dance floor.
Emily smiled then leaned in and kissed him softly but before he could kiss back she pulled away. Pressing a finger to his lips she told him "That's it. It was nice to meet you."
He frowned as she walked through the crowd and quickly followed. Stopping her at the door with a hand on her shoulder he faltered. He didn't know what else he wanted honestly. She was amazing and undeniable beautiful but he had other things to worry about. He didn't need to start something he knew he couldn't finish but once again his mind was over ruled.
When she turned to see who stopped her her lips were met with his. And he didn't back down. Emily's eyes closed gently as their lips melted together and he softly explored her willing mouth. She grasped his shirt in her hands and pulled him closer getting a low growl from him. As their tongues met for the first time and she tasted him a shiver ran down her spine and he swallowed her moan.
Pulling back Aaron's dark gaze met hers and he knew he couldn't go further with her. Just one kiss from her and he knew he could fall in love. And he couldn't do that. "Goodnight" he smiled not knowing what else to say.
"Goodnight" Emily nodded then left with her hand over her still tingling lips.
