Chapter 30: Reunion

Three weeks later…

Life in London had been uneventful for JJ. She had only been consulting with British SIS on their case, while the CIA back in DC was opening up new avenues into the investigation. And after three weeks of sitting by the sidelines, JJ was fed up with it. She had decided to fly back a week earlier and surprise Hotch since he didn't expect her to be home for another week. JJ thought it would be the perfect opportunity for them spend some time together.

As soon as JJ stepped out of the plane and into the car, she went for Hotch's apartment. From text messages and calls she knew he had just returned home from a case the day prior. So their schedules were finally lining up for once and JJ wanted to take full advantage of that. During her time in London she had thought about him each day. And thinking about him left her wondering where her life with him was possibly going. And along with that came the responsibilities and risks. But deep down, JJ had known since she first met him that it'd all be worth it. Having him in her life was worth anything.

Before JJ knew it she was actually pulling up in front of his building. She instantly jumped from the car and pulled a bag with her in case she'd stay the night with him, which she knew probably would happen. She closed her car and walked into the building, greeting one of Hotch's neighbors in the hallway.

She stopped in front of his door and formed a fist and gently let it collide with his door. She stood still as she heard footsteps on the other side, her heart beating a mile a minute as she wore the biggest smile on her face.

The door finally opened and she was faced with a completely surprised Hotch. His face turned into a bigger grin than she'd ever seen in her entire life. So she dropped the bag to the floor and jumped into his arms without any sort of warning.

''JJ!'' Hotch whispered into her hair as he enclosed his arms around her tiny frame. ''Oh, it's so good to see you, to hold you.'' he breathed out as he spun her around in his apartment.

JJ wrapped her legs around his waist as he held onto her tightly. She leaned back a little so she could really look at him. ''God, I missed you!'' she whispered as she cupped his face. She leaned in and their lips met passionately, making up for the three weeks they had been forced to spend without one another. Their kiss intensified and made either of them forget about reality as they did the only natural thing. Being together, holding one another, was all that they wanted in that moment.

''Hmmm, bag…'' JJ whispered before Hotch was able to close the door.

He carried her into the hallway and carefully shoved the bag inside his apartment and closed the door behind them, slamming JJ against it as it fell shut. ''Anything else?'' he murmured against her lips in-between kisses. His hand had already made quick work of undoing the buttons on her blouse.

''No…'' she breathed out, her arms around his neck as he moved his lips against her smooth skin, all the way down to the valley of her breasts. ''Keep going.'' she pleaded when he stopped for a moment, and then he went back to kissing as he hurried towards the couch where he dropped down and JJ fell into his lap, straddling him. She grabbed the hem of his black t-shirt and pulled it over his head as he lifted his arms into the air for her. She then rid herself of her blouse and bra as she leaned forward and kissed him deeply, their lips and tongues meeting in desperation. Their bodies were making up for the time they had lost in those three short weeks.

Hotch knew in that moment that both of them were filled with a desire to reconnect, and to become one again. He had missed JJ so terribly and having her back in his arms caused him to lose all of his iron controls he was so well known for. But with JJ they simply vanished into thin air. It was too hard to keep control as her hips grinded against him so intimately and her hands sliding down his chest in a very sensual manner. She was intoxicating. So intoxicating that a simple touch made him lose any sense of reality.

And then the simple sound of her heels hitting the floor and her standing before him completely naked after she had taken off all of her clothes, forced him onto his feet. He took her hand and pulled her with him into his bedroom. He quickly took off his sweats and boxers before dropping down on the bed with JJ hovering above him, both of them obviously ready and excited for what was to come next.

JJ leaned down and kissed him deeply as the heat of his body melted into her own, sending a spark throughout her being. She could feel his hands on her hips, and she knew from experience that he was about to flip her onto her back. So she immediately pushed him back down and kept her hand on his chest. She kissed him one more time with her body fully pressed against his.

A moan escaped his mouth as JJ kissed him deeply, forcefully even, as their tongues fought for dominance. And even Hotch wasn't exactly clear who was winning. But before he could discover it, he felt JJ sink down on top of him, her heat engulfing him completely. And then he knew she had definitely won.

She set off a slow and sensual pace that elicited moans from either of them as they moved together perfectly. It was slow, filled with love and tenderness, as they moved together as one. Both of them were reminded of how much they had missed the other.

''I love you.'' Hotch groaned out as she moved down again, and then up, and down again ever so gently. He got up and was seated on the bed with JJ still on top of him as he embraced her completely. He kissed her, touched her, and felt her losing herself in his arms as she kept moving.

''I love you too.'' she breathed out as she collapsed in his arms. He had been right there with her. Reaching that amazing moment. And now their chests were heaving as they held onto each other tightly.

Hotch's arms were around her upper body as he laid down on his side, pulling JJ with him. She instantly crawled against him and he used a blanket to cover them both.

JJ turned on her other side and faced him. ''Isn't this everything you ever dreamed of?'' she asked, her heart speeding up from the happiness she was feeling.

''No,'' he replied immediately, causing worry to spread across her face. So he cupped her cheek and pushed a strand her long blonde hair behind her ear. ''It's so much better.''

''It is. It really is.'' JJ said as she broke out in a smile. ''I just wished our jobs didn't exist in our little world. This world we're in right now.''

Hotch used his arm to support himself as he stared back at her in awe. She was so gorgeous. To him she was most beautiful woman he had ever seen. After Haley he didn't believe he could ever find love again, but he had. And it was so much better than the kind of love he had known before. This love he had with JJ topped everything. ''Maybe you should quit.'' he suggested carefully and he knew from the sigh escaping her lips that she didn't agree at all. ''Look, your job stresses you out a lot. Maybe you should get out before you can't.''

''You know I can't, Aaron.'' she said sadly. ''Everything would change.''

''Well change isn't that bad, you know.'' he said happily. ''Maybe change is something you need.''

JJ pushed herself up from the mattress and sat with her back against the headboard as Hotch mirrored her movements. ''What are you suggesting?''

''Move in with me!'' he said with a big smile on his face. He had wanted to ask her after she had left for London. It seemed like the absolute right move for both of them. Their relationship was on the fast track but it all felt natural.

She looked at him as if he was joking, so her face broke down in a big smile. But as she looked up at him, she realized he was very serious. ''Are you asking for real?''

Hotch took her hand gently, ready to convince her if he had to. ''JJ, I love you more than anything in this world. I want to spend as much time with you as I can.'' he began sweetly. ''I think moving in would give us more time together when we're away from work. We would be together more often and if moving in is the way, than hell yes!''

''I don't want it to be a solution for us to see each other more often.'' she disagreed. ''It should happen because we want it to happen.''

''Yes, and I want it to happen, JJ. More than anything. I love going to bed with you and waking up with you in the morning.'' he said happily. ''I want this. More than anything.''

JJ could barely hide the smile that was forming on her face. ''Yes!''

''Yes?''

''Hell yes!'' she squealed happily as she leaped forward into his embrace. ''I don't ever want this to end.'' she whispered into his ear. ''This right here is where I want to be.''

''This won't end. I won't let it.'' he said as he pulled her closer against his body.

In that moment, being in his arms, JJ couldn't have asked for any other man to be with. Hotch was everything she had ever wanted. Well, she never even believed she deserved a man like him. But there he was. With her. Moving forward with their lives together. It was a dream she never wanted to wake up from. Hotch could give her a life she never imagined to have. It was a life she never dreamed about before she met him. But since she met him, she couldn't help but long for it. A normal civilian life, leading a life with family and friends surrounding her. It was something she never imagined, but he had changed her dreams and her outlook on life itself.

So in that happy moment, JJ pushed her job and identity to the background and she was herself. She lost herself in him completely and she knew nothing could ever feel better than being with him.
