Chapter 13

Emily woke up just after dawn broke. She opened her eyes slowly and for a fraction of second panic at the feeling of a pair of strong arms holding her tight. But then she remembered the night before and couldn't help but smile. She remembered the way he kissed her so deeply and intensely and the way his hands roamed on her body, making her shiver uncontrollably. She remembered the way he whispered on her ear, telling her that she was beautiful, that she felt so good, that he was incredibly lucky to be with her, the way his eyes locked with hers, showing so much emotion from this man that everyone judged be made of steel.

She snuggled closer to him and put her head on the crock of his neck, inhaling his scent, enjoying the feeling of his body, of his skin on hers, of his hands on her body. After a little more than twenty minutes she felt him begin to stir. She tensed a little, worried of how would be his behavior this morning. She knew he had said that he wanted her and he wouldn't regret it but she couldn't help but feel insecure.

Hotch woke up with a smell of strawberries invading his nose. He smiled a little, figuring exactly where it come from and feeling the weight of her slim frame pressed on his body. He could feel by her breathing that she was awake and that fact that she had cuddled even more close to him warmed his heart. He started to trace his fingers by the length of her bare spine and felt her shiver. He chuckled a little at that and pushed her up so she was on top of him. She looked up and met his eyes and he could see a bit of insecurity on hers. He knew that she would be worried if his feelings would be the same yet so he smiled at her and leaned up to give her a sweet kiss.

"Good morning, beautiful". She let out a breath, relieved that he didn't regret anything. He saw her relieve and chuckled. "I told you I wouldn't regret it Emily".

She smiled a little. "I know. But it seemed too good to be true" She said sheepishly.

"Mmm mmm. It's good and it's true". He said kissing his way up to her neck to her ear and taking her earlobe between his lips and sucking. She moaned and arched her back pressing her breasts to his chest. He sucked her neck and collarbone, biting and licking continuously, marking her as his. She started to grind against his length, feeling it harden almost instantly. He moaned at the contact with her wetness and bucked to her, making her whimper.

"Oh!" She gasped when he suddenly touch her intimacy with his fingers. He inserted a finger inside of her, followed by another, pushing in and out over and over until her felt her contracting and quivering. "God!" She exclaimed falling over the edge. He kissed her profoundly and flipped them over so that he was hovering her.

"Beautiful". He said in awe looking at her flushed cheeks. He lined himself between her legs and entered her, closing his eyes at the feeling of her walls tightening against him. They moved slowly at first, then faster and faster until both of them were gasping and moaning, nearing the edge. A few more strokes she shivered uncontrollably moaning his first name at the silence of the room, soon followed by his grunt, empting himself inside of her. They both stood tangled at each other, gasping for breath.

"That was a heck of good morning!" She said with a chuckle, eliciting one from him too.

"Yeah. I can get used to this". He said, brushing a piece of hair off her face. She tensed a little bit at his sentence. What were they doing? What did this mean to him? It was just sex? He was really willing to risk his job to have a relationship with her? He felt her tense and pulled her up to face him. "What's wrong Em?"

She bit her lip and avoided eye contact with him. "What are we doing Hotch? What this means?"

He knew that she was going to feel insecure and demand answers about what was happening. He sat up, bringing her up with him, making her sit on his lap. He tilted her chin up so he could look into her eyes. "I was being serious when I said that you make me happy Emily. You make me feel good. When I'm with you I know that I can be myself and you'll accept me the way I am. You've already seen me at my best and at my worst, especially at my worst, and you're still by my side, loyal, taking care of me, risking so much for me".

"But what exactly is this? What do you want?" She asked, needing to know what this meant to him.

"I want you. Period. Not just this" He said, running his hands on her thigh. "I want to be with you, every day. I want to hold you and talk to you about anything. I want to wake up with you and fall asleep with you. I want to take you out to dates and I want to be able to say that you're mine".

She couldn't help but smile at him. She leaned in and brushed her lips to his and felt him smile against her mouth. She felt a warmth on her chest and found hard to believe that this was really happening. But although she could see the sincerity on his words she still didn't understand how he could feel that way. She was, deep inside, scared that he was just grateful for her killing Foyet and when the moment passed he would start to think clearly and would see that his feelings weren't really like that. He saw her frown and asked. "What are you thinking Emily?"

She sighed before looking at him. "I just don't get it. Where this is coming from? You never, ever, showed any trace of feeling something like this for me. I guess I'm just scared that you're not thinking straight and when this turbulence passes you'll find out that in fact you never saw me like this, you were just thankful and vulnerable".

"Em, I know that you're scared. And that's my fault because I buried my feelings so deep inside that I ended up not showing at all. In fact, I only treated you like shit, so I understand that you don't trust me right now. But I'm not confused. And I'll not change my mind. I have felt this for so long Emily. Ever since you gave up your job to not betray me I saw what a wonderful woman you were and I started to observe you and learn things about you. I know how much you love chocolates and Vonnegut. I know that from all the places you've passed by growing up you love Rome the most, but something happened there that hurt you and you don't like to remember. I know that you always smell like strawberries and that you look so absolutely amazing in red. I know that you like to curl up on your couch with a bowl of ice cream and watch a girly movie after bad cases and in rainy days. I know that you want so bad to be a mom, and I know that you'll be an amazing one someday. I know so much about you but I want to know so much more. For this work you have to believe me when I say that I want to be with you. Can you do that? Can you believe me when I saw that I'm falling in love with you Emily?"

She took a sharp breath and let one tear fall on her cheek. "Y-you're falling in love with me?"

He smiled. "Yes, Emily. I'm falling and fast" He kissed her deeply. "Do you think you can fall for someone like me?" He asked hopefully.

"No…" She shook her head and saw his face fall. She smiled and kissed him sweetly. "I already fell. I love you Aaron. I've always loved you".

She chuckled at his sigh of relieve and kissed him again. They stood into their embrace for several minutes, pulling back just for breathe. Hotch's cellphone started to ring and they both groaned. "I'm sorry, I have to get that". He picked up his phone and answered. "Hotchner".

"Aaron, it's me". Haley's voice came through the phone.

"Haley, what's up?" He said, pulling Emily closer to him when she attempted to leave his lap. He smiled at her and tucked her head under his chin.

"I'm sorry for calling so early, it's just that Jack woke up crying and won't stop. He keep calling for you over and over".

"That's okay Haley, can you put him on the phone?" He waited for her to put the crying boy on the line.

"Daddy?"

"Hey buddy. What happened?"

"I had a bad dream!"

"Oh buddy. That's okay. You want to talk about it?"

"The bad man took you away!"

Hotch felt a tug on his chest and the despair on his son's voice. "But he didn't buddy. I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere".

"When I'm going to see you?"

"Soon honey. I'm going to pick you up after breakfast and we're going to spend the whole day together, what do you think?"

"Really? Are you coming already?" His voice lighted up.

"Not yet buddy. I'll see you soon okay? Can you put mommy on the phone?"

He waited for Haley pick up the phone. "Hey".

"Hey. I'll pass by at 10 to pick him okay?"

"Okay, he's very anxious." She said with a chuckle.

"Me too. See you." He hung up the phone. Emily looked at him and kissed him.

"Everything is okay?"

He stared at her beautiful eyes and her swollen mouth and smile. "Everything's perfect". He lay down and bring her to him, flipping them over so she was beneath him and started to kiss her all over.

"Aaron…"

"Mmm…" He murmured between kisses.

"We have to get up. You have to get Jack" She said breathlessly.

"It's early. We still have time. I don't want to get up". He said sucking a sensitive spot on her neck.

"God…"

He smirked and continued his assault. After half hour they finally get out of the bed, took a shower and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. They ate it together at the kitchen counter, talking about nothing in particular. Between the talk Emily brought up a subject that was bugging her.

"You're going to move back to your apartment?"

He stopped the fork mid-way his mouth and stood in silence for a moment. Dropping the fork, he cleared his throat and said, sheepishly. "Actually, I was thinking about that and… I really don't want to go back to that place. So… Do you mind if I stay here a little longer, until I find another place?"

She smiled at his obvious embarrassment. "You mean if I mind of having my…" She stopped mid-sentence, not knowing if she should use the term boyfriend yet. "Of having you, here? Of course I don't Aaron. I'm the one who brought you here on the first place".

He smiled at the blush on her cheeks at her slip. "Thank you. And I guess the term you're looking for is boyfriend, sweetheart". He leaned in and kissed her slightly.

She had tears in her eyes, tears of happiness and disbelief that this was really happening. "I love you".

"And I'll never get tired of hearing this" He put the dishes on the sink and turned back to her. "Okay, now I have to go or I'll have a very impatient three-years-old boy calling me soon. I think I'm going to take him to the park and then have lunch somewhere. Maybe a movie after. I see you tonight?"

"Mmm hmm. I'll be right here".

"Okay. I want you to be ready for us to go out. I'm taking you for our first date".

She smiled brightly at this, both standing at the door now. "Okay. Bye. Be safe and give Jack a kiss for me".

"I will. We'll be going out together soon".

She nodded and he left, leaving her with a big smile. He was right. Everything was perfect.
