Lex moaned as he continued to kiss her, rougher than before. This time he let his hands wander down to where her shirt and her jeans were supposed to meet. She wrapped her fingers tightly around his hair as his hands hit her skin.

She could finally feel her senses coming back to her. She wouldn't be able to pull away from him: her head was between the wall and his head. She opened her mouth. "Stop."

He stopped and stared at her before pulling away. "I'mn sorry… I thought…"

"No, that was…"

"Just the other night…"

"It was fine…"

"And we…"

"It was a good kiss…"

"You didn't pull away, I thought I'd chance another."

"I liked it."

They stared at each other. Neither was sure what to say.

"Um…" Lex began."I'm going to go to bed… Maybe we should just forget about this?"

Lex frowned. "Yeah," she said. "No problem," she said sarcastically as he disappeared behind the door.

Lex sat on the gate up the mountain. The view was beautiful. She remembered the one thing she loved about the place: the silent beauty it had. She hadn't slept last night. The main thing on her mind was being back. The second was Hotch. She still felt his lips on hers; his hands on her. She turned at the sound of footsteps.

Rossi looked around as he strolled. He saw her and smiled. He waited until he was next to her to greet her. Not wanting to disturb the peace. "Hey, kiddo."

"Hi." She looked back out to the sea.

"I'm glad I caught you before everyone else came. I wanted to ask you something."

Lex looked at him, and brushed her hair from her eyes. "Go for it."

"You've been quiet since we arrived. Is everything alright?"

Lex smiled. "You know, I haven't been here since I went to college. Not for Christmas or anything. I liked it. I reinvented myself when I left." She jumped down from the gate and they walked back down. "I was quiet, and such a pushover." She stopped and turned to face him. "Look, I'm not going to get into the tragedy of my life with you. But I'm scared. I don't to go back to the person I was. I like the person I am." She knew it was stupid, but she couldn't help the tears flowing. "I went behind orders and took a killer out on my own." She laughed. "I made out with my boss for Christ's sake."

"Ok, ok," Dave soothed as he pulled her into a hug. "No one can make you be someone you aren't, you hear me?" She nodded. "Lex, do you hear me?"

"Yes."

"Good. Now, frankly, I like this you. I don't think I could handle you being a push over… So, if you ever get scared. Just come straight to me, alright?"

"Alright."

"Come on… the rest of the team will be here soon."
