Chapter 11

Emily woke feeling sore and totally satiated and she realized that this was the first night since everything with Doyle happened that she had slept all the way through the night without having nightmares. Well except for when Hotch had woke her at 3:30 and she had woke him at 5 for more of the most mind blowing sex either of them had ever had. She giggled softly at the thought of that.

"What's so funny?" she heard from behind her.

Rolling over to face him she smiled at him.

"I was just thinking that this is the first full night of sleep I have had in a very long time and if I had known that one night of mind blowing sex with you was the cure, I would have jumped your bones months ago."

He let a chuckle leaning down to kiss her softly on the lips.

"Glad I could be of some assistance t you my dear. Thank you."

"For what?" she asked raising an eyebrow at him.

"For giving me the best night of my life; that was something I have never experienced before in my life." he said as he rubbed his hand up and down her arm.

"I know what you mean. No one has ever made me feel like that before." she hugged him and gave him a quick kiss before looking at the clock.

"Oh my god Aaron it's 9:30."

"I haven't slept this late in like forever. Come on lets shower and go see where everyone else is at." He said as he pushed the comforter back.

Emily watched him as he moved around the room in all his naked glory. He turned to see her staring at him, he smiled at her.

"What?"

"Oh nothing; just enjoying the view from here, it's spectacular I must say." She said, grinning widely at him as she lay there against the pillows.

"My view isn't so bad either, come on before they send out another search party."

After a not so quick shower and getting dressed took even longer; the two appeared in the kitchen where everyone was sitting around the table talking.

"Well look who decided to finally grace us with their presence." Dave said laughingly.

"Did you have fun last night Princess?" Morgan said eyeing the two brunette agents with a knowing look in his eye.

"Why yes I did Morgan, thank you for asking." Emily said winking at Morgan.

"Well from the looks of it you had more than a good time Em." JJ piped in smiling as she pointed to her own neck, teasing Emily about the marks on hers.

"Yeah from the sounds of it to Gumdrop; who knew that the two most reserved people on this team could be such freaks in between the sheets." Penelope said nudging Morgan with her elbow.

"Who knew the two f you were screamers? I mean damn we even hear you over the fireworks. Good thing Henry had already fallen to sleep." Morgan quipped, laughing at the two of them.

Hotch and Emily looked at each other with red faces and then burst out into fits of laughter. Hotch pulled Emily closer to him as he looked at the group who were still laughing.

"What can I say, I'm good with my hands." He said.

"Among other things." Emily said hugging him tighter.

"Well I for one say it was about time the two of you got your heads out of your asses and saw what was right in front of you. So congrats you two, we're happy for you." Dave said smiling at the new couple in front of him.

"Here, here." the rest of the team said in unison.

The team returned to work Monday energized and ready to face the cruelty of the world.

Hotch had made a call to the Director first thing that morning and explained what was going on. The Director agreed as long as their relationship didn't interfere with them doing their jobs then he didn't see a problem with continuing to see it each other. They had agreed that Dave would do Emily's evaluations and the Director said he would inform Strauss with what was going on.

Hotch and Emily were in his office discussing the phone call Hotch had with the Director. They finished talking and Hotch walked Emily out stopping her just outside the door to his office, taking her hands in his.

"Emily, we'll make this work and when the time comes." He paused taking a deep breath. "When you're ready I would like you to think about moving in with Jack and me. If you would rather wait for a ring on your finger I'm good with that to."

"You want to marry me?"

"Yes I do, when you are ready. I'll settle for living together for a while if you want."

"Yes."

"Yes? Yes you'll live with me or yes you'll marry me?"

"Yes I'll live with you and yes I'll marry you."

"You'll marry me? You'll marry me?" his voice grew louder as he spoke grabbing the attention of the rest of the team.

The rest of the team came out of Dave's office where they all had congregated to go over some files, just as Strauss came around the corner stopping next to Dave to witness what was happening in front of them.

"You'll really marry me Em?" He said with shock and disbelief on his face.

"Yes Aaron I will. I love you and I think we have wasted enough time waiting so yes I'll marry you, the sooner the better."

Hotch pulled her into his arms to give her a passion filled kiss, unbeknownst to them they were being watched by the rest of the team and the Ice Queen.

Strauss was fixing to intervene when Dave stopped her.

"Leave them Erin, let them have this moment. This is a good thing and you know it. It won't interfere with them doing their jobs. We're able to stay objective aren't we? We've never let it interfere with our jobs have we? We never let it get in the way and they won't either. Just leave them be."

The others around them heard what Dave had said and they stood there with their mouths gaping open. Strauss turned going back to her office leaving the stunned group as they turned to face Dave.

"What? Why do you think she's been staying off our backs lately?" Dave said smiling.

Hotch and Emily walked up to the group both smiling, noticing the shocked look on their friends faces as they faced Dave.

"Hey what did we miss?" Emily asked looking around at the rest of the team.

"Oh Dave here has been banging no one other than the Ice Queen herself." Morgan said while the others laughed.
