JJ quickly got up, hopped into the shower and dressed appropriately while she hoped she would be noticed by Hotch. JJ was certain of one thing: she had never been so confused. She thought she knew Hotch. She thought she knew that he would never cheat on his wife but she also thought he would never sleep with someone just once for the hell of it.

She hoped off the elevator and made a bee line for her office hopping she could pull her head together before she and Hotch spoke. Her plan failed. When she had closed her office door and rested her head against it, her chair spun around revealing Hotch and two cups with F.B.I written on them. He placed them on the desk and stood. As he moved closer to her, she moved further from him. "JJ…"

"Hotch." She had nowhere to move. Her back was against the wall and Hotch only had to move a little bit closer and their lips would meet has they had so many times the night before.

After seconds, Hotch closed the space between them and kissed her. She kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck, digging her nails into the back of his head. When they pulled apart only their lips stopped touching.

"Hotch," she started trying to push him away, but she couldn't. Nor did she want to.

"I need you to know, JJ…" He took a deep breath and kissed her quickly. "I think I've fallen in love with you. Everytime I see you, it takes all I have not to be with you, to kiss you… I lost control last night. For the first time in a long time I found that I could trust you, open up to you, that you're the only person I can open to you about both work and my personal life and when I contemplate those facts, you can have no idea how happy I am."

"Hotch, you're…"

"I know I know I know… but there isn't a part of me that regrets last night."

"I wish I could say the same thing…" She reconsidered what she said. "I mean, last night was amazing and I'd love for it to happen again and again and again, but…"

"If you even try to bring my marriage up again, JJ, I will hurt you," he said as he moved his arms around her waist and tightened, pulling her close. She smiled. Both last night and right now was the safest she ever felt. In Hotch's arms.

She placed her hands on his shoulders and pulled herself even closer to him, then brining her lips to his.

There was a knock on the door and they immediately pulled apart. It was Gideon. He didn't seem to notice anything. "Hotch, I need a word… now." JJ smiled at her other superiors haste, while Hotch just nodded as Gideon disappeared.

He put his lips to her ear. "I need to be with you JJ…"

She giggled as she realised that almost all her dreams had come true in the blink of an eye. She closed her eyes, feeling his breath. She hated what she was thinking but the words were out before she could hold them back. "Come over tonight." Hotch smiled and JJ could feel her face burning. "We'll talk about things…" And Hotch left.

When he came round that night, they did anything but talk. However when they woke up at three a.m the next morning, all they could talk about was how happy they were together and how much they loved each other.
