A/N: I know, I know it's been forever but I've been really busy. This is shorter than the previous, just a little chat about the team. Next we'll have a team's night out and then they'll be back to work. I'd really appreciate suggestions about the next chapters. Are you guys still with me? Should I keep going or just write the end and leave it?

Chapter 18

The following two weeks passed quickly for both Emily and Hotch. Practically all of Hotch's things had been moved into Emily's apartment and neither of them were talking about finding a new place for him. They passed all day watching movies, reading almost all Emily's book collection, sometimes they had Jack and took him to the park for a day out and he even have a sleepover at Emily's a couple of times.

They hadn't spoken to the team during this time, saved from a phone call from Dave to Hotch and a few texts from JJ and Garcia to Emily. On the Thursday from their last week of suspension they were having dinner at home, Chinese from Emily's favorite place, cuddling on the couch and watching Casablanca when Emily's phone rang. She reached for it on the coffee table and saw Garcia's name on the display. "Hey PG".

"Hey peaches! How are you? Enjoying the break from freaks and bastards sickos?" Garcia's excited voice came through the phone.

"Oh, you have no idea! It's so good that I think I'm going to call Strauss the Queen Ice and Heartless Bitch on her face to see if she gives me another two or three weeks". She joked, making Hotch let out a low chuckle. She widened her eyes to him and how put his hand on his mouth. 'Sorry' he mouthed.

"Uhhhh, who's that?! You're enjoying your suspension with some hot smoky friend Sugarplum?" Garcia giggled.

She rolled her eyes at the tech's words. "It's nothing Garcia. Did you call for something?"

"Ah, eager to hung up on me to go back to your little lover uh?"

"Garcia!"

"All right, all right. I actually called you to invite you to a team's night out tomorrow. My lovebirds just got back home from a particularly gruesome case and they're really down so I want to cheer them up. And also, I miss you gorgeous self and I want to see you before we'd be surrounded by death again".

She looked at Hotch and he gave her a curious look. "Tomorrow?" He mouthed 'What?' and she mouthed back 'Team's night out', which he nodded.

"Yeah, tomorrow. You think you can leave that hot stuff of yours for a few hours? Or you can bring him with you! Yeah, bring him!" Garcia squealed.

"I'm not bringing anyone. But yeah, I'll be there tomorrow. At Joe's?"

"Oh you are no fun Emily Prentiss! Yeah, at Joe's, by 9 ok? Hey, have you talked to our boss-man these days?"

"Hotch?" She asked looking to the man beside her. "No, not since last week". He grinned at her, leaning to nip her collarbone making her moan.

"Ohmygosh, did I just hear a moan?" Garcia asked excitedly.

"I'll see you tomorrow PG, bye!" She breathed out while Hotch kept nipping and sucking up to her neck and ear. She barely heard Garcia's complain before she felt his tongue on her ear making her moan loudly again. "Aaron!" She half moaned half whined to him, making him chuckle.

"Yes, sweetheart?" He asked innocently, his hand sneaking into her tank top.

"We… we didn't… we didn't finished dinner?" She stammered.

He pulled away just enough to look at her, his hand found her bare breast and started to stroke her nipple. "Are you seriously thinking about Chinese right now?" He proved his point with a little pinch on her nipple, making her whimper. "That's what I thought".

As he went towards her neck again she put her hand on his chest pushing him away. "No Aaron, wait". He pulled back frowning. "We need to talk".

He pulled away as if she had slapped him. "We need to talk?" He knew what this phrase meant and it wasn't good.

She realized what he was thinking and widened her eyes, shaking her head. "Oh, no, no, honey, it's not that kind of talk. I love you. We're never having that kind of talk". She said pulling him into a quick but fierce kiss to prove her words.

He let out a breath. "Good. That's good. I love you too". He said kissing her again. "So, what kind of talk you're saying?"

She straightened herself on the couch beside him, taking his hands with hers. "We have to decide what we're going to do about this" she gestured between them "and the team".

"Right". He nodded. He knew they would have to have this talk sooner or later. They were due to go back to work next Monday and he knew they have to decide either they would assume or hide their relationship from the team. "What do you think we should do?"

"Honestly?" He nodded. "I'd like to keep this just to us for a while. Don't get me wrong, I'm not ashamed, quite the opposite actually. But I don't think I can handle with the team cataloguing all of her actions and expressions all the time, profiling us and especially teasing about it. Of course they wouldn't go to you, maybe Dave, but the rest wouldn't have the balls to tease you. But with me it would be hell. I know that Morgan would tease me nonstop and Garcia would want all the details from our private life. I don't want that now. I want to enjoy us without being on a microscope all the time".

He knew that she was right. She would have the most of the impact if they went public to the team. "I understand Emily. And I agree with you. Honestly. Although I don't think we'd be able to hide from Dave. That man just knows about anything, God knows how".

She chuckled. "You're right. And he's the only one who knows for sure that I'm in love with you".

"You told him?"

"As you said, he just knows. But how we're going to do that since we're practically living together? Because Aaron, we are. All of your stuff is here now almost and I know that you're not thinking about getting a new place and I surely don't want you leaving. I know that you don't usually get visitors but I often have girls' night with JJ and Garcia here".

"Well… I could keep my place to keep up appearances and you could try to relocate yours girls' nights to Garcia's or JJ's or even some bars for the next couple of months. I really don't think we'll be able to keep this from them for too long. And when we come clean to them I'll get rid of my old place and we can make me moving here official".

"I think I can do that" She nodded. "But we have to be careful. We'll have to continue to take two cars to work and be careful to not arriving together. And you'll have to continue to treat me the same way, calling me Prentiss, not looking at me or touching me".

He groaned. "Then you'll have to promise me to not wear those damn red shirts on work. They drive me out of my mind". He said leaning to kiss her neck.

"Oh, you've been checking on me Agent Hotchner?" She teased.

"Yes, I have. But since I didn't have had a taste I could control myself. But now that I know how good it is and that it's all mine and mine only I don't know if I can keep my hands off of you…"

She chuckled under his touch. "Ok, I promise. And you can't take off your jacket and roll up your sleeves too!"

He chuckled now. "Deal. So, we're done talking?" He asked raising his eyebrows suggestively.

"God, you're insatiable!" She breathed, already feeling her cheeks flush in excitement at his gaze.

"You know I am. And I didn't think you were against it…" He said nipping her earlobe.

"Oh god, I'm not. Most definitely".

"Good". He said taking her mouth in his. And just like that, Chinese, cellphones and the team were forgotten.
