Chapter 10: A Break

Reid made a point to remove Morgan from his thoughts the moment he stepped into Michael's home. Morgan was pissed; Reid was a little pissed himself yet he was nervous about their relationship. It didn't sit right with him, but he wasn't willing to do anything about it yet. So, for now, he really just wanted to focus on his time with Michael.

It was just the two of them all afternoon; no Maya and no Morgan. They'd been enjoying meaningful conversation, mostly about growing up, for a couple hours now and they both felt very relaxed with each other. And they couldn't have been more comfortable; Reid laid against the armrest of Michael's couch with his legs stretched out over the cushions as Michael rested on him, tucked against the back of the couch.

And though Reid was still embarrassed about losing his erection last night, he was hopeful to try again tonight. Not knowing where Michael stood after what happened left Reid hesitant to initiate. He decided he would let Michael lead, but found out quickly that everything Michael was doing was turning him on; his movement, his voice, the sound of him breathing…

After some more time had passed, Reid glanced at his watch. It was 6:15pm. He knew this night was supposed to start at 7pm so he gathered that Maya would be home soon. He glanced down at Michael and actually thought he had fallen asleep because they hadn't said anything to each other in a few minutes and he hadn't moved at all. So, what else was there to do? Setting his horniness aside, he closed his eyes and rested one hand on Michael's back.

"I thought you fell asleep," Michael said, almost whispering. He looked up and smiled at Reid.

Reid grinned back at him, "I thought you did," he laughed as Michael lifted and began to crawl toward him, taking careful measure where he placed his knees and hands.

"Your heart… It beats so strong and steady. It was hypnotizing me."

"Are you open to hypnotic suggestion?" Reid teased, hoping Michael would play along.

"Yes, Dr. Reid. Tell me what you want me to do. I will do anything."

Michael suddenly reached for Reid's center and Reid flinched, playfully keeping Michael's hands away. Michael leaned down and put his lips to Reid's ear and Reid closed his eyes as the two brought their hips together.

"I will do anything," Michael whispered. "I will do anything you want me to do," he licked at Reid's earlobe. "I will let you do anything you want to me." He moved his mouth to Reid's neck and felt Reid jut his pelvis upward against his. "Tell me what you want…"

"Put your mouth on me," Reid said. He reached down and began undoing his pants.

Michael pulled back and watched as Reid pulled his pants and underwear down. Michael noticed his face as he touched his hand to Reid's stomach. It wasn't hard to tell that Reid was very horny. He leaned down and touched his lips to Reid's bellybutton.

Reid watched as Michael rubbed his lips and the sides of his face against his skin. He was nearly shaking with anticipation, waiting for Michael to do that to his hardening cock. But Michael didn't rush. He kissed Reid's stomach, his sides, his abdomen, and his hip bones for a few minutes each before he ever grazed any lower, all the while squeezing and caressing with his hands. But Reid was in heaven. This was some of the sweetest torture he'd ever encountered.

Michael pushed himself up to let Reid see his own cock and how hard it had become and he grinned at his friend. Reid's eyes focused in on the bead of pre-cum that was just beginning to show itself. "Make me cum," Reid whispered. "Make me fucking cum."

Michael put his finger into his mouth and wet it down. Reid's cock flexed so hard at that sight that he threw his head back and whimpered. When he felt Michael's wet finger at his backside, he let his eyes fall on his lover again. He thought back to the day they met. Even knowing then that he was attracted to Michael, he could have never foreseen this moment. He felt as if they had cast a spell on one another. He winced as Michael's finger entered him, but then it was nothing but pressure and pleasure. He closed his eyes as Michael gently worked his finger back and forth, leaning down once again to kiss and lick at Reid's skin.

Moments passed… "I wanna see you," Reid told Michael. Michael removed his finger, lifted off the couch and stood, quickly taking his shirt and pants off. Reid gulped at the sight of him and motioned for him to get his underwear off as well. When Reid saw Michael completely naked, his stiff cock flexed again. "Jesus," he whispered in reaction to the sensation. Reid made a spinning motion with his hand and Michael obliged. "Let me see your ass…" Michael playfully pulled his cheeks apart, exposing himself and when he turned back around, Reid told him, "Hands behind your back," and Michael obeyed. Reid took off his shirt and then swiveled into a sitting position on the couch, bringing his ass to the edge. Michael watched him as he freed one leg from his pants before he spread them apart. "Put your mouth on me," he repeated.

Michael dropped to his knees, keeping his hands behind his back. He nuzzled his face between Reid's legs and took Reid's balls into his mouth, licking them, suckling them, rolling them around with his lips and tongue. Reid rocked his hips slowly, so turned on and so close to cumming, trying to apply pressure here and there, trying to find that sweet spot that would be the point of no return, that moment when he can't hold it back any longer. He closed his eyes, held his breath, only gasping for air when he moaned... concentrating so deeply-

"Oh my GOD, you guys!" Maya yelled in surprise as she held the front door open.

"Oh, shit!" the boys reacted in unison. Reid tried to pull up his pants while Michael grabbed his shirt from the floor to cover himself. As Reid and Michael were simultaneously panicking, Maya had already shut the door and headed straight for her bedroom toting department store shopping bags.

There was a very quick moment of silence after they heard her door shut. Reid couldn't stop the images that began to flash in his mind. Between the still reeling sensations Michael's mouth had left him with and Maya's pretty face and the scent of her perfume now in the air, he couldn't stop his body either from finishing what he and Michael had started. "Oh," he breathed. "Oh, no…" He didn't even have time to glance at Michael as his pelvis shuddered uncontrollably a couple of times. His hands immediately went to his center to pull his loose clothing back down. Then Michael watched with wide eyes as Reid held himself, jacking off and grunting as quietly as he was able, while his cock squirted four times onto his chest and stomach. Michael just looked at Reid in awe, envious of the intensity that he had just experienced. He knew that Reid couldn't have stopped that orgasm if he had tried.

When Reid looked like he didn't know what to do next, Michael snapped out of it and got up to go get a towel.

"Wow, Spencer…" He began to wipe the ejaculate away, but Reid took the towel from him.

"I know…" Reid agreed as he folded the towel for a clean side. "Messy."

"Copious," Michael grinned.

"I know…" Reid agreed with Michael again and tried to laugh.

"What's the matter?"

Michael gave Reid a very sweet expression and Reid shook his head. "Each time your sister has seen me today, I've had an erection."

"Each time?"

"This morning when I woke up, she knocked and came into the bedroom to discuss breakfast with me…"

"Oh…" knowing right away what Reid was talking about, Michael shrugged. "It's nothing. She lives with me. She understands—"

"It's embarrassing," Reid interrupted him. "And this was more than 'morning wood'."

Michael's eyes shifted until he found himself staring at the carpet.

"I don't want her to think I'm some sex crazed… guy after her brother," Reid continued.

"You've put entirely too much thought into this," he told Reid. "She really likes you. I can tell by..." Michael felt the weight of his own words and pressed his lips together. They both looked in the direction the bathroom as the door closed. "She doesn't think that about you. Trust me."

Michael stood and put his clothes back on. Reid handed over the dirty towel and watched him as he walked to his bedroom to drop the towel off in his hamper and then went into the bathroom where they knew his sister was. The door was only open for a second as Michael entered, but Reid could see that Maya was only in her bra and underwear and he quickly averted his eyes. While he waited, he got all of his clothes back on, went into the kitchen to wash his hands and face and then he helped himself to a glass of water. Just another couple of minutes had passed and Michael was standing behind him.

"Maya will be out of the shower soon. I'm going to go grab the pizza. I should be back in fifteen minutes or so." When Reid turned around, Michael could see that he was fighting that sleepy feeling. He thought it was cute.

"Do you want some company?" Reid stepped toward him.

Michael shook his head and smiled. "Stay here with Maya. Keep her safe."

Safe from what? Reid thought as he made a face. Michael's back was already turned and he was headed toward the door with car key in his hands.

Reid made his way back to the living room and sat down. He looked at the bathroom door as he heard a blow dryer being used. Two minutes later, Maya stepped out in a towel and Reid forced himself to look away and straight ahead. He anxiously rubbed his palms on his thighs and took deep breaths.

That was until he heard her bedroom door open again. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see her walking into the living room from the hallway, but felt some relief as she headed straight to the kitchen. When he finally took a peek at her, he had to look away again immediately. Her long, dark hair was damp and free flowing. She wore a purple sports bra under her black tank top, showing her mid drift. And to top it all off, she wore only underwear, a purple and black plaid boyshort.

Reid's foot began tapping instantly.

"Hey, you," she smiled as she brought him a beer.

He half smiled back, not making eye contact with her.

"You and Michael really do make the cutest couple, you know that?" After sitting down at his right side, she reached over him for the remote that was on the end table to the left.

"Thank you," he said, barely audible.

She turned on the TV, but then muted it when she noticed his knee bouncing. "Are you okay, hon?" she asked as she squinted at him.

He swallowed and tried to smile at her. He watched as she took a drink from her bottle of beer and then he took a drink of his beer, a rather large drink. "I'm fine. Just waiting for Michael."

"Oh, good," she laughed. "You've got time to prepare yourself."

"For what?"

"Michael and movie night. He's so ridiculous. Either he's asleep, crying or holding onto me for dear life. He gets pretty dramatic."

"Oh," Reid chuckled. "That actually doesn't surprise me," he told her, feeling a bit more at ease.

"He might put up a strong front, but he's a huge pussy." Reid's eyebrows rose as he took another drink of his beer while listening to her. "The one thing he's truly fearless at is being a cop. He's ruthless in that uniform …" she paused as she thought about her brother. "He's made our family so proud." The look in her eyes as Maya spoke of him was very intriguing. It was evident that she looked up to him a great deal.

Reid wished he could see Michael in action. "I'd like to go on a ride-a-long with him one day."

Maya's eyes opened wide as she smiled. "Oh, my God, that would be so awesome! I'm sure he would love that."

Things got quiet for a second. "Uhh, so, did you take care of those errands?" Reid cringed at his attempt to make small talk.

"Spencer," Maya began, "I have a question for you."

"Ohh kay…" he said slowly because he'd heard the tone in her voice had changed.

Maya slowly lifted to one knee, pivoted, and then straddled Reid. She took his beer from him and set it down on the floor beside his feet.

Reid placed his hands to his sides, desperately trying not to touch her. "M-Maya, what are you doing?" Her perfect cleavage was in his face, her tight stomach flexed as she made herself comfortable and dear God, she smelled so good. She ran her fingertips through his hair and he closed his eyes, enjoying every last second of it. "Maya," he whispered, trying to protest.

"I really like you, Spencer. Do you like me?"

"Yes… I like you, Maya…" There was a huge 'but' that was supposed to follow her name, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

She leaned toward him for a kiss, but he backed his head away initially, not willing to do this with her. She held his face in her hands and her eyes stared so deeply into his that he actually felt his resolve weaken. She's so beautiful, Reid thought, and she wants me. When she tried to kiss him again, he didn't hesitate. They locked lips as if they'd each been aching for this moment since the very second they laid eyes on one another. Reid wouldn't remind himself that was only yesterday as his hand traveled down her back and squeezed her ass. Maya kissed him harder, bending his neck against the back of the couch. They continued to kiss each other, breathlessly warming themselves into a light sweat.

"Fuck,' she breathed, coming up for air. Reid found her mouth again right as he felt her hand at his crotch, rubbing him. He raised a hand to her chest and squeezed, quickly focusing on her nipple making her moan into his mouth as it hardened between his fingertips. "You've got me so fucking wet…"

He wanted to feel just how wet he had made her. He wanted to smell her and taste her, but he had little experience with women. The thought embarrassed him and he was afraid to ask if he could. He licked at his lips and swallowed, closing his eyes as she rested her forehead against his. He felt like he would cum again. He heard her say his name, but he couldn't respond; he was so overwhelmed. All he could do was gasp for air as she began to grind down against him.

Morgan and Michael inevitably forced their way into his thoughts and he seriously wondered why he couldn't have it all. He wanted to be able to have all three of them with no consequence to himself or to each other.

Even above all their heavy breathing, they both heard a car door shut and Maya was off of Reid with the swiftest of ease and already walking toward the bathroom. Reid wiped at his mouth and then rearranged his erection. Talk about being under a spell… Reid felt like he was waking up from a dream. "What just happened?" he mumbled to himself. "What the hell did I just do?"

When Michael stepped inside holding the pizza, Reid quickly moved to hold the door giving him room to walk into the house without catastrophe. Michael made his way to the kitchen and Reid watched as he placed the pizza on the counter and then got the plates out. After bringing his thumb up to his mouth, Reid started to chew on his nail. Michael looked up at him and smiled. Next, he got a couple more beers out and set down a roll of paper towels. Michael looked at him again and Reid smiled at him.

"You, uhh, you got something on your lips…" The look on Michael's face was telling.

Reid quickly ran the back of his hand over his mouth and looked at it. Shimmer. It was very noticeable under the kitchen lighting. His hand hung in the air as he looked at it. He moved to put it in his pocket, but then wiped it against his hip. He wiped at his mouth one more time and then forced both hands into his pockets. "Michael-" he said gently, hanging his head just a bit, ready to apologize.

"Will you go get Maya? It's time to eat."

Reid hesitated for a second, but apparently Michael didn't want to talk about this right now. "Sure." He slowly turned around and headed to Maya's room and knocked lightly.

When she answered, she pulled him inside. She cupped his face into her hands and kissed him on the mouth.

He kissed her back, but then reluctantly pulled away. "Maya, wait…" He forced her hands off him and then stepped back, letting her go. "You're so smart and… beautiful and I… as much as I want to, I can't do this. I like Michael and I don't want to mess things up with him." For the second time today, Reid felt like he was the biggest asshole ever, but he felt his situation was complicated enough. "I am really sorry."

She looked him in the eyes and gave a sympathetic smile. "It's okay, sweetie," she wrapped her arms around him, pulling him in for a hug. He hugged her back tightly, so grateful that she understood.

She moved in for a kiss, "One for the road?" she whispered.

He kissed her back one last time before they opened the door to leave her room.

When Maya and Reid rounded the corner, Michael was heading to the couch with his plate of pizza. "Dig in!" he shouted, smiling at the two of them like nothing had just happened. Reid knew right at that very moment Michael was a master at masking his anger and his pain.

Reid and Maya got their pizza and brought their beers with them. Reid sat down next to Michael, leaving Maya on Michael's other side. As the movie started, Reid leaned to his ear and whispered, "I'm sorry. It won't happen again."

Michael took a drink of his beer and then made eye contact with Reid. He motioned Reid into his space to whisper to him. "Make it up to me later," he told Reid.

Reid smiled at Michael, biting his lip.

Only ten minutes into the movie, Reid's cell phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out and checked the Caller ID. The rage he suddenly felt was blinding. "Give me a break!" he yelled at his phone. He let it ring again as he considered letting it go to voicemail. "It's Morgan," he mumbled to Michael.

"You should answer it," Michael regretfully insisted.

Reid let out a heavy sigh before he answered the call. "Make this quick. You're lucky I even answered."

"There's been another murder, Reid," Morgan told him.

Reid was clearly fuming on the inside and Michael could see it. He rubbed Reid's back until Reid suddenly stood up from the couch. "And the timing couldn't be more perfect, could it? This is getting old."

"Doing your job is getting old? Alright, I'll let Hotch know that's how you feel."

"Give me a break, Morgan," he groaned, exasperated. "You know that isn't what I mean!"

"Reid, I'm not gonna argue with you. I'll text you the address. I expect you to come do your job and be here within fifteen minutes. Got it?"

Reid hung up his end of the call without a goodbye and sat back down on the couch. He began bouncing his knee and running his palm along the side of his head over and over. "I have to go." He could feel his insides shaking from how angry he felt.

Michael was clearly disappointed and Maya just watched the two of them with wide eyes as they stood up at the same time. "You can't stay?" she questioned.

"There's been another murder."

Michael kept swallowing and his eyes were glossy. Maya rubbed his arm and he moved away so she couldn't touch him. "Duty calls," Michael said as he and Reid walked to the door.

"Bye…" Maya said as she slumped against the couched, truly bummed out.

"Bye, Maya," he said distractedly as he was trying to think of something to say to Michael who was walking him out the door. When Michael shut the door behind them, Reid admitted, "If you're still interested in dating me after tonight, I'm going to be pleasantly surprised. I'll understand if, you know-"

"Don't be silly, Dr. Reid," Michael smiled. "I'm in this for the long haul."

Reid breathed a sigh of relief and grinned back at Michael. "Hey, I have a question." Michael nodded. "This is going to sound like it's coming out of nowhere, but I've been thinking about it a lot: If I can convince Morgan, would you be interested in a threesome with him… and me… us – together, all of us together? I know there's some tension…"

Michael gave Reid a very happy smile. "Of course I would."

"You would?" Reid beamed, not expecting such a quick and favorable response. "Great! Good, that's great. I think it's a viable option for all of us to explore." The two of them smirked at each other knowing what the other was thinking about. "Okay, I'll call you tomorrow." He and Michael gave each other a peck on the cheek, knowing Reid really needed to leave.

Suddenly, Maya opened the door and held out pizza wrapped in tinfoil toward Reid. "Sustenance."

Reid was grateful. He hadn't thought that far ahead. "Thank you!" He grabbed the food and quickly walked to his car.

Reid's got it goin' on in this chapter, but as we see, his luck ran out. Almost have Chapter 11 ready. Hold tight. SO much more to come. ;)
