Chapter 12- SURPRISE EXTENDED CHAPTERS
AN: Hi, everyone. I was working the graveyard shift last night, and I got Finlaure's review, wanting to see Crystal and Reid's love scene... I got quite a few messages and such about Reid and his love life!... So, on lunch break, here is what I came up with...It's gonna take me three chapters to tell the whole story (I am doing something completely different, just posting as I write, so bear with me, okay?)... I hope you enjoy...
Spencer Reid was not a Lothario. That went without saying. He was experienced, despite what Morgan and a lot of the other team members thought. He just didn't believe in advertising that fact. He assumed the reason people thought he was a virgin was because he blushed a lot, was rather embarrassed about sexual conversations, and didn't really date that much.
There were many reasons he didn't sleep around. One was because he never had the right woman to do it with. He had offers; many offers, actually. He grew up in Vegas, where sex was like a handshake to most people, and he had very little true adult supervision. Instead, he was more of the adult, taking care of his mother and whomever else needed his aid.
Secondly, he was very well educated. Being a genius, but also being a man with male hormones screaming throughout his body, he read just about everything possible about sex. He knew positions that would make Morgan, Garcia and even Rossi blush. He knew ancient ways to satisfy women. He knew ways to delay ejaculation that would easily put him the same category as Ron Jeremy, the porn king.
However, with all that, he also knew every single disease that was out there, every complication and problem that came with being sexually promiscuous. He had enough to worry about in his life; he didn't need to impregnate someone or become blind from syphilis.
Sex was also very technical to him. Without the love and compassion that came with being with the right person, he was just ejaculating for the pure pleasure of it. Not denying that ejaculation was pleasurable; it was and he loved doing it, but he could do that without giving some woman the wrong idea, or feeling socially uncomfortable and awkward.
So, he wasn't as smooth as Morgan, as experienced as Rossi, or even as confident as Hotch was when it came to sexual relations. And to be honest, Spencer Reid didn't really care.
Until now.
He'd been dating Crystal Langley for a month, now, and the desire to make love to her, to truly make love, was driving him crazy. They kissed, a lot. Oh, how they kissed! Hours, since that first night dancing together, were spent kissing and touching each other. He never felt the chemistry he felt with anyone like he felt with Crystal.
"Get lucky last night, kid?" Morgan asked, waking him out of his thinking. The older agent was grinning at him like an idiot as he plopped down in the chair across from him.
Reid glowered at Morgan. "That's none of your business. I don't kiss and tell like you do."
Instead of being offended, Derek grinned even more. Reid didn't know that was humanly possible. "Hey, if I didn't kiss and tell, my Baby Girl would for me. We got nothin' to hide."
"Well, some people think that sort of display is nauseating."
Derek's grin started to vanish. "Reid, what the hell is up with you?"
"Nothing."
"Uh uh," Derek replied, shaking his head. "Don't you lie to me; I know you too damn well. Spill."
"I just don't think discussing-"
"Coming from the man who manipulated his way into organizing my relationship- which I do thank you for- that isn't gonna cut it with me."
A couple of weeks ago, Reid told Morgan and Garcia his true plan about getting them together. The both of them were quite peeved with him for playing them like chess pieces, but let it slide because it all turned out well in the long run.
Separately, they both thanked him later.
Looking at Morgan's concerned face, he sighed and scowled. "No. I didn't get lucky."
Derek's eyebrows went up. "You and Crystal have a fight?"
Reid mumbled, "No."
Morgan shrugged, looking confused. "Then what's the issue?"
"We haven't made love yet."
"Say what?"
Reid narrowed his eyes. "You heard me."
"Well, that's... you aren't a virgin, are you?"
"No!" he exclaimed defensively, then calmed down. "It's just that... well.. the right time has never presented itself."
"No such thing," Morgan smirked. "You make the time right, killer."
"How?"
Morgan stopped smirking. "How?"
"Yes, how. How do you make the right time?"
"I don't... you just do!" Derek stammered. "Hell, man. You have to know how to seduce the girl. You know what floats her boat, gets her cooking, turns her crank."
"She's a woman, Morgan, not machinery."
"Oh, no," Morgan said, grinning again. "That's where you're wrong in thinking. See, a woman is like a sweet Corvette. You tune her up, make her purr, baby her, treat her right, and you go for the ride of your life."
"Are you asking Morgan for relationship advice?" Emily interjected from nearby. "Don't ask him; ask a woman. Like me. I'll help you."
Reid began to blush. Talking to Morgan was one thing, talking to Prentiss, another woman, was beyond embarrassing. It's bad enough having your male friends know issues, but female...
"What's wrong with asking me?" Derek asked, scowling at Prentiss. "Garcia is damned satisfied, and you know it."
Emily rolled her eyes. "You and Garcia were so overdue, you barely have to blink now and you satisfy each other. That isn't going to help someone in Reid's shoes."
Morgan opened his mouth to argue against it, then shut it quickly. He stood and gestured with open palms towards Reid. "Have at it, Prentiss."
Emily pulled her chair closer and said, "Reid. You'll know."
"Real sage advice there, Em," Derek quipped, before walking away.
"How?"
Emily glared at Derek's retreating back, then smiled gently at Reid. "You will know when the time is right. Just go with your gut, like you do on the field."
"You should talk to her," JJ said, dropping a file on his desk.
Reid turned even redder. Sweet mother of God!
"Ask her what she thinks, what she wants. Maybe she wants more now, maybe she doesn't, but you have to know."
Reid had enough. He scowled and announced, "Anyone else want to add input to my life?"
"Yeah," Rossi said, getting ready to go in his office. "Your tie is ugly."
He looked down at his tie. "It's not that bad, is it?"
JJ and Emily nodded sympathetically, then walked away.
