Chapter 18: Confronting Gideon

Morgan was glad they had gotten a week off after what had happened in Chicago. It allowed him the chance and time to plan a date for Reid. He made a reservation at this Mexican restaurant that wasn't too far from the office and then they were going to out for drinks and dancing. He called Reid up and told him to be ready by eight and to wear something nice. At exactly 7:45, Morgan showed up at Reid's door.

"Hi," Reid said giving his gorgeous grin to Morgan when he opened the door.

"Hey, you ready?"

Reid nodded, "Almost," he said and pulled Morgan into a kiss that took both their breaths away. "Now, I'm ready."

Morgan chuckled and waited for Reid to shut the door. Reid looked at him shyly and Morgan noticed he was shaking. He frowned.

"Reid, what's wrong, man?"

Reid shook his head, "Nothing. Let's go."

Reid made an attempt to walk away but Morgan pulled his arm back and shook his head.

"Oh, no you don't. Talk to me, Reid. What's wrong?"

"Gideon called. He's coming over tonight."

"What time?"

Reid shrugged, "Nine."

Morgan nodded. That gave him plenty of time to devise a plan. He led Reid to his car and drove to the restaurant.

"He'll kill me if I'm not there," Reid shook.

"Hey, Reid, listen to me. He's not going to do anything to you. I promise."

"You can't promise that, Morgan. We both know it can't be helped."

Morgan pulled the car into the parking lot of the restaurant and cut the engine, "Actually, it can be helped."

"How?"

"Let's eat and then I'll tell you later."

Reid nodded as Morgan led him into the restaurant. The hostess seated them immediately once Morgan gave her his name. Reid smiled as he sat down.

"Never had Mexican food before."

"No? I used to eat it all the time, but I had to stop. Was starting to get sick of it."

Reid smiled. Their server came and Reid ordered the Taco Salad and Morgan ordered the Super Meat Nachos and two cheese Quesadillas. They both ordered Coke to go with their meal.

"Sorry it's not really fancy, but I pegged you for the type that doesn't really do fancy," Morgan said.

Reid smiled, "You're an excellent profiler," he teased. "I'm not really into fancy things, you're right."

Morgan nodded and they talked about different things making sure to stay away from the uncomfortable topics including Gideon, what happened in Chicago, and Reid's mother. Morgan noticed that Reid always felt uncomfortable talking about her. They learned many a things about each other like Reid learned that Morgan's middle name was Anthony after his father's brother. Morgan learned that Reid's favorite color was purple. As their food came, they continued to ask different questions and learn more about each other.

"Um, I was just curious, where Clooney came from?" Reid asked.

Morgan took a sip of his Coke, "When I first came here from Chicago, I felt like I wanted a companion, but don't really like cats so I figured I'd get a dog. I looked around but either I couldn't find one that I liked or they cost too much. I got a call about a week later and was told that a litter of puppies had been abandoned. I went down to the Pet Adoption Center and there was this little German Shepard that was staring at me. I knew he was the one for me. I took him home that same day. Named him after my dad's favorite actor. Whenever I was little Dad would always go on and on about how and excellent actor George Clooney was."

Reid chuckled, "That's sweet."

"Yup. He's been with me ever since."

After the boys finished eating, Morgan paid for their meal and went to the club that was about twenty minutes away. Morgan bought Reid a drink and found out that he wasn't much of a beer drinker but he'd never say no to wine. Morgan had a glass of beer and Reid had a glass of wine before Morgan was dragging Reid to the dance floor.

"Morgan, what are you doing?"

"We're dancing, pretty boy."

"I-I can't dance."

"Trust me, Reid; all you gotta do is move with me."

Morgan and Reid started dancing and in no time at all Reid had gotten the hang of it. Morgan bent down and pulled Reid into a kiss as they danced. The next thing anyone knew, they were having a heated make out session as they dry humped each other. Morgan growled and pulled back. He was getting hard and fast and it was all he could do not to take Reid right here on the dance floor. Morgan checked his watch and saw that it was close to nine.

"Let's go pretty boy."

Morgan and Reid got into the car. Morgan drove them back to his place. Reid looked confused and turned to Morgan.

"What are we doing here?"

Morgan handed him the key to his apartment, "Here, give me the key to your apartment and go inside and stay there."

"Morgan, don't."

Morgan smirked, "Don't worry, Reid, everything will be fine. Now let me have the key."

Reid handed him the key, took his, and sighed, "What am I supposed to do?"

Morgan shrugged, "Watch TV, go to sleep, read one of my many books, I don't know."

Reid sighed again as he got out of the car and headed into Morgan's apartment building. Morgan waited until he was inside before he drove to Reid's apartment. He parked his car, headed inside the building, and took the stairs to his apartment. Using Reid's key he unlocked the door.

"You're late," was the first thing he heard as he opened the door.

Morgan walked into the living room, which was where Gideon's voice was coming from. Gideon looked up and tried to mask his surprise.

"Morgan, where's Reid?"

Morgan raised an eyebrow, "Not here."

"Well what are you doing here? He's supposed to be here. I specifically told him I was coming over by nine."

"Why? So you can rape him some more?"

Gideon opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out.

"Surprised? Yeah, I bet you are. You're a sick fuck Gideon. Just like Buford."

"I'm nothing like him! Watch it, Morgan."

"Or what? You gonna rape me too? You are like Buford. You prey on the weak and innocent. Reid looked up to you, you bastard! And you just had to take advantage of that didn't you?"

Gideon jumped up, "Watch who you're talking to, Morgan."

"You don't scare me, Gideon."

In the blink of an eye, Gideon had Morgan backed up against the wall, "How about now?"

Morgan shook his head, "Nope. See, I know you're just a scared little kid looking for love in all the wrong places."

"You sonovabitch, you don't know shit! I don't love Reid. Never have, never will. He's just a free fuck to me."

That pissed Morgan off. He growled and punched Gideon in the face, "You asshole!"

Gideon stepped back holding his cheek, "What's the matter, Morgan? Don't wanna admit that your boyfriend is a free for all fuck toy? Yeah that's right I know about the two of you."

Morgan was livid. He attacked Gideon punching him again and again. The two of them tussled and attacked each other. Morgan didn't know what caused him to pull back. Maybe it was the fact that he wanted to get to Reid. Nevertheless, he pulled back. Gideon had a black eye, a cut above the other eye, a bloodied nose and his cheek was bleeding. Morgan knew he had a split lip, a bruise on his neck from where Gideon had choked him and a cut over his eye.

"If I see you touch him again, I swear not only will I kick your sorry ass, I will report you and have your ass arrested," Morgan growled.

"I'd like to see you try. Reid is mine. And I will do what I want with him."

Morgan flew off the handle and landed punch after punch to Gideon's face.

"Reid is not yours! He's not a fucking piece of meat, you fucking bastard!"

Morgan pulled back when he heard a sickening crack in Gideon's nose and he appeared to be unconscious. He grabbed Reid's go bag and left the building. When he got into the car, he sat behind the wheel breathing heavily for a few minutes before starting the engine and driving to his apartment.

Once Gideon was sure Morgan was gone, he opened his eyes and got off the floor not paying attention to the fact that his nose was possibly broken and bleeding. He left Reid's apartment with one thought in mind. Reid was going to pay and Morgan needed to be removed from the picture.

{~CM~}

Morgan opened his apartment door and found Reid sitting on the couch watching the Discovery Channel and drinking coffee with Clooney curled up at his legs. Morgan couldn't help but chuckle. Reid sat up and blushed.

"I hope you don't mind. I didn't know what to do."

Morgan chuckled and walked over to him and placed a kiss on his lips, "Its fine, Reid."

Reid sat up trying to deepen the kiss. Morgan started kissing back when suddenly he hissed and pulled back. "Shit."

Reid looked up, "What's wrong? Oh, Morgan you're bleeding."

"I'm okay, pretty boy."

Reid bit his lip, "Morgan, what happened with Gideon? What did you do?"

Morgan sat down after pushing Clooney off the couch, "Not much, we just talked. Or at least we tried to."

Reid raised an eyebrow, "Did you…?"

Morgan shook his head, "No. I wanted to though. I think the worst thing I gave him was a broken nose."

Reid giggled. Morgan chuckled and pulled Reid into a kiss. Reid sighed and parted his lips. Morgan eagerly thrust his tongue inside Reid's mouth and explored the recesses of his mouth. Reid moaned and placed his hands on Morgan's chest and started to let his hands roam hesitantly downwards. Morgan pulled Reid on his lap as he further deepened the kiss. When the need for air became insistent, Morgan pulled back but took his kisses to Reid's neck. This, however, didn't stop Reid's roaming hands. He gripped the hem of Morgan's shirt and tugged at it.

Morgan pulled back as he let Reid take his shirt off him. He did the same with Reid's shirt. This was something they were both comfortable with so Reid didn't panic. Morgan felt Reid getting hard. He moaned as Reid's erection rubbed against his clothed thigh. He pulled back and gestured to the bulge in Reid's pants.

"Want me to take care of that?"

Reid shook his head. Morgan raised an eyebrow, "No?"

Reid shook his head again, "No. I want you to fuck me."
