It was Monday morning at 10am and the BAU Agents were finishing up last minute paperwork and tidying their workspaces. Aaron was in his office finalizing the agenda for the 10.30am handover meeting, and replying to emails. No one had seen or heard from Morgan or Reid as of yet, and the team were becoming worried. Whereas Aaron was becoming increasingly displeased with their tardiness.
Morgan and Reid push the doors open entering a hallway filled with adults talking to each other waiting for the bell to ring to signal the start of meeting. The two walked through the hallway talking.
It was the only thougt of Garcia and started jumping up and down for joy and started dancing around the bullpen, hooting and hollering.
"You done Garcia? Because you're freaking everyone out," Prentiss said.
"I knew it" She said poitnig at the new couple of FBI.
"Impossible"Reid says after a while.
"If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth," Garcia recited.
"Sherlock Holmes," J.J. muttered.
"Actually, that's Mr. Spock," Garcia said, smiling lightly when Reid smirked back at her.
"I do believe that Mr. Spock attributed that quote to a ancestor of his, hence Sherlock Holmes."
"In the Undiscovered Country. But in the rebooted version, Quinto's Spock says..."
"Guys," Rossi interrupted with a look of exasperation on his face. "If you're done with the geekfest, can we move on?"
"Sorry," they both apologized quietly before Reid asked, "What do you mean!?"
"Your feet pointed toward each other whenever you were in the same room, even when you were talking to other people. That's an obvious tell. Everyone knows that." Prentiss rolls her eyes at that statement. "You two almost stood shoulder to shoulder whenever I saw you together. Oh, and don't even get me starting on the staring!" At this point, Prentiss doesn't understand how Morgan didn't notice.
"Our what?" Morgan prods on for more information. He's shocked at this point. How had he never noticed Reid acting like this toward him?
"Oh c'mon, you know! You guys are always staring at each other and it's so intense," J.J. adds quickly.
Morgan smiles and Reid leans in to kiss him.
Garcia looks on in pride. "Aw, you guys. I'm so proud to be best friends with FBI's hot new couple."
Reid laughs and taps his hand on the desk. "Thanks."
Reid turns around and walks into the break room to see Prentiss pouring herself a cup of coffee.
"Reid!" exclaims Prentiss."Can we talk?"
"About what?" He huffs out a sigh.
"I'm sorry."
"I know you're hurt, and honestly, you have every right to be. I'm sorry for the way everything was handled. Everything," she says, trying to convey that she means more than just the past seven months. "I'm sorry for leaving." He looks up sharply, eyes wide like he's been caught. She gives him a meaningful look. Profiler, remember? she thinks. "I didn't want to, and I swear to you, it seemed like my only option. But I'm back now, and I promise, I'm not going anywhere this time."
"I left for the same reason I didn't tell you about Doyle from the beginning. Because I couldn't bear to watch the look on your faces when you found out the truth about me, who I really was, what I had done. How close I had allowed myself to get to Doyle. The fact that all those people who died at his hands died because I had betrayed him, taken his son away from him."Her voice was now small and devoid of all anger. "I did what I had to do, I know that, but that doesn't make the guilt go away and you know that. I am so sorry Reid"
Taking a few steps towards him, Emily interjected now, eager to have her say "That I made you doubt my trust in you or our friendship, and that it lead to you having to grieve my death, I can't ever change that now but know this. You thinking I didn't... don't trust you breaks my heart Spencer because you are the one person in the whole word I trust most of all."
She knows it's not all hers to fix, but she'll do whatever she can. "I'm back, Reid. And right now, I'm asking. How can I fix it? Or at least, how can I help?"
"I have move on!"He was past that now, he simply couldn't find the energy anymore. He just felt so drained and ... weak."Look, Emily, when I found out you were alive, I thought I had to be dreaming, I was so relieved. I really am happy to have you back. I'd just appreciate it if everyone would stop acting like just because your death was fake, the grief was too. "His grip on the mug tightens."I don't care anymore "
Emily looked hurt. With a sad expression in her eyes she took a deep breath before speaking. "You don't care anymore?. You forgive me?"
"No"Reid snapped."I forgive you but I can't forget your behaviour and Jennifer's. Both of you were cruel and manipulative me into come to Rossi"s dinner. You told me that I act like a child for not forgiving you and understanding but is you guys who."
"She was just trying to help," Emily says, resolute.
" I don't care" he says, his voice choked." Every time you or J.J. make comments about my behaviour towards you but you... You trip guilty me into forgive you , you treat me like a child who doesn't understand the situation but this situation has consequences. We can't change the past , we can't delete our actions but we could try not to repeat the same mistakes. "
He gives her that classic Dr. Reid half smile, the one that doesn't reach his eyes, and says
"Of course "She blurts, like the word has been lodged in her throat."We can do that. I can do that!"She trails off. Takes a deep breath. "I can do that!"
"Thank you Reid"Prentiss told him and walked passed him pausing a little. "Thank you for forgiving me ."And with that she walked away from him.
" Prentiss." Reid calls out to her and he smirks at her the mug still in his hands when she walks back to him. " I said I could forgive me your the whole Doyle thing ." He points to himself and then looks back up at her. " I never said I could forgive you for accusing my sister of being a manipulator bitch or brainwashed me. No one and I mean no one can call my sister in those names and get away with it." He tells her and bends down to carry some packages of sugar passed Prentiss who's still stuck standing at the spot.
Walking into the conference room sat next to Morgan. The older man seems to notice the hard expression of Reid and the anger was written in his body language.
"Are you ok?"
Okay..." Reid breathes softly.
"You know that you can talk to me about anything ." Morgan tells him softly. Reid gives him a watery smile and nods, in agreement.
"Okay." Reid repeats, quietly, just for Morgan to hear.
"Okay." Morgan smiles.
Reid leans in and kisses Morgan . Morgan is calm.
Rossi chimed in. "Sorry to ruin this cute moment between David Furnish and Elton John but we have a case here"
Reid s blush was almost endearing, and Morgan grinned at his reaction.
"Did you talk with the families of victims?"Hotch said out of blue ,scaring the shit out of everyone. Rossi did not had blinked because had used Hotch to pull shit like this.
Everyone except Rossi, look quizzically at their boss and are afraid to speak. In the last five days, they had seen an entirely different side of their boss. He shouted without any obvious reason to everyone, he was hidden in his office without giving any sign of life, he only left the office when he had to go to a meeting or his home. Hotch snapped at Garcia one day when the woman said a dirty joke , she had her in tears in a second.
Morgan had tried to protest about Hotch behaviour, only to be stuck in desk duty. J.J. and Prentiss had get the massage and stay away from Hotch while Reid was just minding his own business. Rossi suspected that the young doctor knew what was going on between his sister and his boss, he had been tempted to ask Reid for information about his sister but he knew there was no way Reid would answer as he was a very private person.
"A bartender of the bar , the bar that Maria Sawyer used to work , she was nice with everyone and good at her job. "JJ cocked an eyebrow. "Her girlfriend, according to the bartender words, Hailey was piece of work. She had Maria around her finger. Almost never let her out of her sight. She walked her to work every day, then came by when she was closing to walk home with her. "
The owner told that Maria had thought she had a stalker.''Rossi added siiting in his chair.
''Some friend of Zennobia Millers and Charlie Matheson ,had said the same thing''Morgan said taking a sip from Reid s coffee.
Reid glared at him.
Prentiss was sitting in her chair without intervening in the conversation. He looked at the crime scene photos of the three women, trying to find similarities.
«Guys!"Prentiss gathered their attention. "The three women are placed in different body position. One of the girls is lying with her hand upside down with the inside of her hand exposed. In the second girl, she is lying face down with her blouse slightly upright and showing half of her back."
She pushed two of the three photos into the middle of the table.
"Could be a coincidence!" The blonde agent replied. "I mean it's not the first time that an unsab is trying to confuse us. He may be doing it on purpose."
«Nothing is this life is coincidental or random" Reid nodded and patted the picture of the third victim. " In none of the women were found signs of abuse or sexual abuse. Somehow the unsab keeps them still until he gets the right amount of blood from the body to paint the designs he wants on the wall."
Morgan grabbed one of the three women's envelopes and opened the front page which contained notes from the laboratory and the morgue where the women's bodies were sent"The toxicology results from the autopsy showed Propofol»
«Propofol used for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia.»
JJ's head shoots up so fast her neck pops«Propofol can kills?"
Reid spoke next, not peeling his eyes off of the file."Without proper management by an experienced provider, a single injection of propofol can result in apnea, respiratory arrest, hypoxia, and death"
"The unsub kills them with an overdose of propofol!"Morgan sighed. "The unsub uses propofol because he doesn't want to cause the victim to feel pain."
Hotch interjected."Why?"
The BAU's team went back to work. JJ and Prentiss were sitting in the blonde's office looking at the crime scene photos again. Morgan noted on a piece of paper the similarities that existed between the women, Hotch and Rossi were locked in Hotch's office while the young doctor was on his phone.
Athena: You will go out with the team after the case?
Reid smirked down at his phone. His sister was grumpy because Reid had deciced to spent some time with the team, after the conversation he had with Prentiss, he decided to spend time with the team. He knew that things would never be the same between them, but Reid didn't want to force Morgan to choose between him and Prentiss, nor did he like to see Garcia upset. They would spend time together but he would never trust them again.
Reid: Yes. Youcan come along if you want.
Athena: I will not waste my 35 dollars nails to blonde's face.
Reid: Hotch would be there
Athena: Whatever
Spencer chuckled. It was easy for the doctor to get his sister to join the team for a drink. To be precise it was easy for Reid to manipulate his sister, it wasn't easy because of his cleverness or because of his job, what he knew about manipulation he had learned from the best teacher he knew, his sister.
From a young age, Athena learned how to manipulate people. She observed their movements, their facial expressions and used them for her own selfish purposes. She had made the mistake of teaching her brother the art of manipulation, what Athena did not expect that her brother would absorb the knowledge so quickly. ,
In the matter in question it was easy, Reid just had to mention the name of his boss. The truth was that he could not understand Athena's obsession with Hotch, their paths had never crossed, their first meeting was in the interrogation room.
Back there in the interrogation room Reid could tell the exact moment Athena had seen Hotch. She had first scanned over Prentiss and although her signature smirk remained on her face the entire time, completely masking her emotions, Reid had see the analytical gleam in her eyes. And then she saw . The moment his eyes reached her form his smirk had faltered for the briefest of moments. Athena's eyes had widened imperceptibly, her pupils narrowing. It was all so slight that even the minuscule parting of her lips could have been mistaken by most as the mere passing of air, but Reid knew better.
This was Athena version of staring agape, and even though the entire instance had lasted for less than a second, Reid could tell his sister was taken off guard.
Reid looked up to see Morgan was standing at the front table arms crossed with a file in his hands ''You want to tell me something?''
"What do you mean?"
"Well"Morgan says, leaning in to kiss the edge of Reid' jaw"You are smiling at your phone, I have to tell I am a bit jealous of the person who can make you smile like that!"Morgan said, half joking.
"I am texting Athena!"Reid put his phone down and looked at stiles with a nervous smile
This knocked Morgan over, and JJ finally stopped pretending not to pay attention.
"How is she?"asked Morgan. He was leaning over and trying to see something.
"A fine bitch as usual "Reid as he put his head on his hand."Complaining about butterflies tattoos and not having enough time to eat!"
"What is wrong with butterflies tattoos! I mean they're a symbol of life's cycles, hope, and the soul's rebirth."Prentiss stopped talking when she noticed that Reid wasn't paying attention. His eyes were on his phone , still texting .
Reid puts his phone down"My sister is big fan of fine line , abstract tattoo and Japanese tattoos"
"How many tattoos categories are there?"JJ broke in.
"There are more than 50 different styles to choose from!"Reid said and quietly went to the desk."you can ask her tonight at the bar!"
Morgan didn't know whether to laugh hysterically or slap Reid on the head.
"Why the fuck did you invite her?"JJ asked confused, but also upset.
"Because I wanted to .", Reid replied calmly, yet in an incredibly serious tone.
JJ swallowed dryly.
"You have to ask us first"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Reid held his hands up in front of his face, "back up a bit. Let's start with this, ask you what? . To invite my sister to come with us for a drink? If I remember right you never ask us if we want Will to come with us!"
"This is different, Will is my boyfriend while Athena.."JJ said and pushed off the desire to pronounce the word 'Athena' with poison
"Athena is my sister!"Reid spat. "I get it. You are not fond of her , trust me neither my sister is big fan of BAU but Athena understands that I work with you guys every day and somehow you are part of my life . Athena decided to take a few steps back to give space for peace between BAU and her , also I invite her because I want her to spend time with Morgan and. You said what you want us be friends again , if you still want it you have to put up with my sister. I will not back off of this one. You can accept it or not but I don't want to hear your opinion on my sister"
"Fine" JJ answer, her eyes searching Reid for answers, trying to figure out why the young doctor had drastically changed over the last month.
Everyone understands what he say and decides not to ask questions and return back to their original tasks.
"Are you ok?" Morgan questioned, felt like the thousandth time he had uttered those words and each time he would answer the same.
"Hey," Morgan whispers in his ear. "Can I kiss you?"
Reid pulls back in surprise, but then nods. They prepared for this, after all.
Morgan grins and leans in, giving him a soft, lingering kiss. It's sweet and heady, like their first date kiss was, leaving him wanting more.
Too bad they're surrounded by all the agents and secretaries of FBI, who are taking full advantage of the opportunity to good-naturedly heckle them. "Look at the love birds," someone calls. "Aww, how cute!" somebody else yells obnoxiously loud.
«Damn, Pretty Boy. One more drink like this, one more dance like that, and I'm gonna forget that we are in public ," Morgan whispered in Reid's ear. As he took a gulp and then swirled his ice cubes, Derek watched Spencer blush visibly and tuck a shy smile down to his chest. Reid's classic, submissive response to the sexually- charged compliment turned Derek on more than he would ever admit. He leaned in and touched a soft kiss to Reid's warm cheek.
They were at the new bar a few blocks from FBI building. That they were originally headed here, certainly not, usually they would going to "Joker" a bar , but they were ready for something different. They passed this bar, and since it turned out that none of them had ever been here before, they decided to give a try. Walking into the bar the team couldn't find a single couple among them that consisted of a man and a woman.
"Where is your sister, Reid?"Garcia asked him, her brow slightly furrowed with worry. "I thought that you invited her," she remarked.
This caught the attention of the others and both Rossi and Prentiss looked at Reid, expressions surprisingly similar to Emily's, and even Hotch looked up from his beer to look at him curiously, something...something in his eyes.
"Why is everyone looking at me! How should I know?"
JJ coughed loudly and took a sip of her drink.
Rossi took the initiative and spoke the thought on everyone's mind. "She is your sister ."
"I am not her keeper ." Reid said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. He chugged his drink down. Morgan leaned forward and whispered,"What did you do?"
"I don't know what you are talking about!"Reid whispered to Morgan. No malice. No spite. Simply words. Reid took a drink from his glass, and whispered something to Morgan.
Emily wasn't as considerate, instead leaning closer to him so he could hear her, though she lowered her voice."Reid , we hope Athena doesn't cancel this because she f..."
"What?" Reid interrupted her. "Of course not." He rolled his eyes. That was really the last thing he needed. The team think that Athena fell uncomfortable around the team.
Emily shrugged and finally gave him a break before turning to JJ and asking her to the dance.
JJ laughed. "Sure," she said calmly, getting up from her chair to disappear into the crowd with Emily.
Garcia began to squabble with Morgan over a helpless Reid who sat between them.
It's going to be a long night. He thought to himself.
Garcia almost threw Reid and Morgan relationship into the open, arguing loudly, "At least I'm not doing the horizontal tango with-" But was cut off when Morgan gasped, "Holy CRAP."
The entirety of the table turned to see what Morgan was referring too; it was Athena Reid.
She emerged gracefully from the crowd, which seem to part in her presence. She looked absolutely stunning and unbearably sexy to Hotch, and apparently, to every other man in the bar as well.
As she approached the table, Prentiss looked positively envious, Morgan gaped unashamedly, Rossi was impressed (but looked away, muttering to himself), Garcia stared blatantly, and Reid practically smashed his knee on the underside of the table when it shot up. Hotch could not think of any possible word in the dictionary to describe how amazing she looked. He stared as her curves made their way toward the seat next to him, but pretended not to be interested.
"This seat taken?" She inquired huskily.
Where have you been? "Asked Reid with relief as he thought she was gone after he saw the divorce papers last night in their living room, sighed
''Sorry for being late. I got caught up enjoying my last few minutes of not being here''Athena declared, maintaining a tight, gruesome smile the whole time.
Spencer did a quick face/palm, shaking his head.
"Scotch. Neat. Thank you," Athena muttered to the bartender.
When the man was safely ten paces away, and hopefully out of earshot, Athena centered dangerous eyes on Reid.
"If you ever think to manipulating me like this again"Athena challenged.
"Nice threat but you can do better..."Reid trailed off.
"Let do the introductions ," Athena said as she waited for the bartender put down a neat scotch on the bar. "Thank you," she murmured, paying the man.
Reid simply nods, his eyes glued to the team.
Garcia smiled welcomingly. "I'm Garcia but you already know what ."
"Miss Reid," Rossi says, standing. "It is an honor to meet you without wearing handcuffs." He lifts her hand to kiss its back and then bows, smiling all the while.
Reid shakes his head. "Tone it down, Rossi. She's already inclined to like you 'cause I do."
"Kid," Rossi shoots back, "I'm simply treating her as any gentleman should."
Athena laughs.
Rossi pulls out her chair and Athena says, "Thank you, kind sir," as she sits.
''I am going to puke'' Reid mumbled and the surrounding agents interestedly followed the conversation. Their heads turned back and forth between the two of them who weirdly enough seemed to not notice the conversations strong likeness to 'flirting'
«Sorry baby bro." She replied not sounding the least bit apologetic. "But I can't pass a man who is like a fine wine."
"You can flirt with someone and else fine man but not my coworker , just stop or I'll sneak into your room at night and cut off your hair." Reid threatened.
"You wouldn't dare." Athena retorted. "Besides, if you even attempted to do such a thing I'd cut off a very vital body part of yours."
Reid covered his crotch protectively not doubting her for a second.
"I really hate you." Reid seethed.
"The feelings mutual." Athena replied sounding high.
"Sooo Mis Reid"
"Please call me Athena!""Athena said turning to the man beside her."You can a all me whatever ever you want sweetheart, baby girl , Tesoro "
Rossi laughed.
"Can I call you mine!"
"If you play your cards right Mr Rossi" Athena replies amused and a wave of sparks passed through her eyes but only Reid had notice and Hotch's eyes hold realization.
Hotch sat stiffly in an uncomfortable chair, his back convulsively straight, his shoulders tense, his fingers gripping the ear of his pint so hard that his knuckles were perfectly white and his nails dug into the skin of his palm. His lips were tightly pressed and his chin thrust forward in a fighting manner, and his eyes were dark, darker than usual, and full of passion and fire and jealousy and rage. He was staring off into the distance.
Right as her eyes met his, he dropped his stare. He had been caught, but it seems she had been caught as well. His presence made her stomach suddenly ache. It's suspicious that he is here, and it brought Athena back to their altercation in the bar. She tore her eyes away from him and back to Rossi.
Rossi smiled. "Please, call me David."
She nodded.
" Athena , I heard that you are not fond of butterflies tattoos!"Garcia paused." How can you don't like butterflies, butterflies are known for their beauty and grace!"
"Is not that I don't like butterflies is just..."Athena started. "At my first days as a tattoo artist I was very excited to do tattoos any kind of tattoo but as days passed I had done a lot of butterflies tattoos, I started to hate it. Don't be fooled into thinking they all look the same, though. These butterflies come in a wide variety of designs, colors, and sizes."
"According to the PEW Research Center, 32% of adults have tattoos, and 22% have more than one. When you consider who is getting tattooed in the United States, it may surprise you to learn that more women have at least one tattoo than men. In fact, 38% of women have at least one tattoo, and 27% of men have tattoos."
Athena simply nodded, and was about to continue her conversation with Garcia as if nothing had happened, but Prentiss was the one who interrupted this time.
"How many tattoos did you have?"
Athena raised a hand and started to count her fingers. The team looked at her, a slight look of confusion passed through their eyes
"What?"
"You don't know how many tattoos you have on you?"
"No"Athena replied, completely deadpan.
Looking up at the team, Reid said "42!"
Rossi waggles his eyebrows. "42 tattoos. A bit too much I think!"
Athena startles out a laugh.
"Too much?. I have a client that has 135 tattoos, it's covering almost all her body except her face!"
"I heard that some of body parts are to painful to tattooed!"JJ interrupted.
"It's actually true. It's likely most painful to get a tattoo on a part of your body with many nerve endings, close to bones without much fat, or where your skin is very thin. "Athena calmly stated."The armpit is among the most painful places with rib cage been the second most painful place for most people to get tattooed. Ankle and shin tattoos usually cause severe pain. "
"Neck and spine tattoos are known to be among the most painful tattoos because the neck and spine are very sensitive areas."Athena continues. "You remember, bro?"
"Reid, do you have a tattoo?" The question confuses Athena, Rossi had said it like it was a scandalous secret.
"Why didn't you tell us you had tattoos!" Garcia scowled good-naturedly.
"I thought you knew! I gave both you and Prentiss tattoo parlor suggestions when you wanted one!" Reid protested. "Remember? Prentiss wanted the blackbird, and you were going to get—"
"That's enough!" Garcia interrupted, her face pinking around the cheekbones."What tattoo did you get?"
«I have made the representation of Icarus who is near the sun and his wings are melting. Do you know the story and symbolism of the Icarus tattoo teach us to remain level-headed and somewhat warns us against t..."Reid started to say but was cut off by the voice of his boyfriend.
"We get it, pretty boy!"
"Oh!" Garcia gasped. "When did you get it?"
"When I turned 24, Athena's been trying to get me to get a tattoo for years now. After a long time I decided to do one because I couldn't stand her nagging to tell the truth!"Reid said with a laugh.
"Ohh fuck off!" Athena huffed.
"Who did yours?"
"Simon!"
"Your husband?" Prentiss asked, astonished.
"Ex- husband!"Athena states sharply.
The conversation between the doctor's sister and the team went smoothly. Garcia and Prentiss asked her a question about Athena's work, if she had a favorite client, what was the strangest tattoo that a client has requested while Morgan found common ground with Athena about the gym. They were discussing books with Rossi, the man flirted with the woman in the middle of their conversation, wanting to see the reaction of Hotch, who was the only person who did not participate in the discussion.
Hotch tried to avoid any contact with the woman during the evening. Fortunately Reid wanted to ask about a theory that had again psychopaths and sociopaths versus narcissists. JJ decided to leave early because Will was coming from New Orleans and wanted to cook.
As Athena was getting lost in her thoughts, her leg tingles as her phone vibrated in her pocket. She pulled out her phone and the caller ID showed "private number".
And with that Athena walks away with her phone in her hands. She sat silently in a stand of the bar, staring at the phone . She had completely lost track of how long she'd been staring at the file when she was approached by Rossi who pulled a seat up next to her.
"As much as I don't want to interfere in people personal life..."
"I have a feeling you're going to anyway."
"Look if you here to play with him and..."
Athena had to cut in before she burst out laughing, "As much as your hasty judgments amuse me, Rossi, I probably should tell you that you're jumping to completely the wrong conclusions."
"Really," asked Rossi, his cheeks blushing a light shade of pink as they often did when he felt a little embarrassed.
"My intentions are pure. The only thing I want from your friend is to admit that he find my ass is to sexy to be handling and get his head out of his ass"
Rossi let out a chuckle, shaking his head at herself and glancing over at Hotch who Athena noticed still had a sulky expression on his cute little face.
"You think you could tell him that?" asked Rossi, tilting his head in Hotch direction,"Might cheer his miserable ass up a little."
Rossi smirked and stood to leave. Athena nodded to him request with a wink, and amused grin growing on his face. As fun as that conversation would be, Athena decided to give it a couple of hours. She d let the man suffer for just a little bit longer.
Reid opens his eyes and smiles when he sees and feels Morgan wrapped in his arms. Last night was plain amazing. He couldn't have asked for anything better, especially for their first time. He could just lay here with Reid like this all day.
"Good morning," says Morgan groggily tilting his head back towards Reid.
"Good morning," says Reid kissing Morgan's cheek and unwrapping his arms from around him so he can move. "How'd you sleep?"
"Pretty good," says Morgan rubbing his eyes. "How about you?"
"Good," says Reid moving to lay flat back on his back. "I liked waking up to you in my arms."
"Me too," says Morgan giving Reid a small kiss. "I wish I was off today so we could just spend all day in bed."
"I know," says Reid as he looks into Morgan's eyes. Those eyes, he could just get lost in them for hours. "But let make you some breakfast before we go."
Reid starts to get up, but Morgan pulls him back down.
"Spencer," starts Morgan scratching his arm. "You don't have….
"Scrambled eggs coming up," says Reid as he puts on a wifebeater and boxers. "Rest, I'll call you when they're done."
"Thanks," says Morgan laying back down as Reid walks into the kitchen.
Reid entered in the kitchen to see Athena sitted on a stool she placed both of her elbows on the table, with her hands supporting her head. Slowly her elbows began to move farther and father apart for each other. Her head began to fall closer and closer to the counter top, until itfinally landed on it.
"Someone is bored!"
"Of course!" Athena said." I don't have appointments until 12. "
"You were bored last night!"Reid clears his throat. "As fun was to watch Hotch try not to lose his cool and decide to act up his feral need to murder Rossi in a jealous rage I have to say some things!"
"Let me count the ways." Athena hummed, quoting Shakespeare.
"Sis, listen to me..."Reid puts his hands on the table.
"No, it only encourages you."Athena said, grinning. Reid frowned instantly, pretending to be more upset about the fact that she wasn't listening to him than the fact she was being childish.
"I'm not angry with you."He said sternly.
"Oh, that's a relief, I was really worried."Athena said, perking up."No... hold on, I really wasn't."
"Speaking of last night!"Athena says with a grin and notices the dark mark on Reid's neck.
"What." Reid scowled and Athena pulled a pocket mirror from her bag and gave it as Reid began to attempt to readjust his collar to hide the mark. "I will get him back for this," Reid mumbled petulantly.
She was happy that her brother found someone who makes him happy. Morgan was a smart and nice guy who will never hurt Reid unless he wants almost all the tattoos artists after him.
"Don't distract me!" demands Reid, looking at her again with a childish frown.
"Okies"
"Stop playing games."Reid chimed in trying to convince the woman to back off. She didn't care for Athena. He knew that his sister was capable of many things, she knew how to handle people, emotions and situations ,the same could be said by the young doctor about Hotch, but after his wife's death, he lost control.
He was still the same stoic , serious, disciplined, and determined unit chief Reid had met 7 years ago but he was fragile. Athena was not the kind of a gentle woman or easy , she was no man's peace , in Hotch's condition he wouldn't be able to handle Athena's personality and the strange way her mind works
""I love you sister and I always support you in whatever crazy thing you want to do but I can't allow you to play with Hotch's feelings. If it was any other man, you know I wouldn't be involved in this cat and mouse game you play every time, but here we are talking about a man whom I consider a friend, a mentor and dare I say a father figure."Reid said and Athena stared at the table.
"I can call him daddy then," She murmured
Reid let out a low growl and Athena immediately shut up.
"I admit that I was amused at first, seeing my all-glorious and unapproachable boss not knowing how to handle you. On the other side there is you, my sister whom I love and adore, with your unexpected obsession with my boss , at first I didn't say anything about this topic because for the first time after your marriage you were interested in a man other than sex and kill your time. I can't understand you I thought you were interested in him and then I see you flirting with..."Reid began to explain but was interrupted by his sister.
''You were the one who invited me ''She pointed out.
The characteristics of has utilized the majority of this month to slither her way trying to get Hotch"s attention by flirting or showing intersting in Rossi, employing her sweetest feminine wiles with near-lethal precision. Reid was torn between being impressed with his sister for pulling it off, or calling Hotch idiot for buying it.
"I think it would be nice to give someone else my attention!"Athena sighed feeling incredibly tired.
"And don't make my lecture you about the phone call!" Reid sneered. "You still haven't answered my question about how you get his number!"
He tries to give her a stern look, but she sees the laughter in his eyes, "You ever pull a stunt like that again, I swear I will…"
She tilts her head, "Will what? Ground me? Good luck with that."
Reid raised an eyebrow at her, but Athena was to busy with staring at the phone in her hands to notice the inquiring eyes on him. The young doctor observed his sister . She softly rubbed the phone with he thumb while she was completely lost in thought. A small smile was on her lips and a faint red colour coated her cheeks. Wow. Athena had a crush on Hotch. Reid rolled his eyes and decided not to say anything. His sister would figure it out. Someday. He hoped.
"Morgan breakfast is ready! Time to rise and shine! I don't like setting alone on the kitchen table for a long time and I am starving. I made coffee!"
"Oh god, I'm starving!" Morgan yelled from the bedroom.
The twin chuckled ushering themselves inReid placed pancakes, chopped fruit, sausages, eggs sunny side up down onto the table.
Morgan walks toward Reid with a big smile over his face. Morgan shakes his head and comes up behind Reid, wrapping his arms around his waist and kissing the heated skin on his neck. He had no idea he wanted this moment of domesticity so bad, but now he can't imagine missing it.
He slips his hands down the front of Reid sweatpants and maybe he'll get the morning round two after all.
"Gross!" She grumbled half heartily."I heard you two all night, now you're going at it again?!"
"I have heard you with so many of your 'one night stands' and possible boyfriends , that I believe the phase is, payback's a bitch."
BURN!" Morgan said and burst out in laughter.
"So childish" Athena said but smirked.
"What is going on between you and Hotch?" Morgan says and Reid groans before flopping his head down on the table.
" Morgan ," He whines. "Don't get her started on Hotch, he'll never shut up." He grumbles and Athena feels her face get warm as Morgan shoots her a look.
"Shut up Spency." Athena says scrubbing a hand over her face. She's not blushing, it's just hot in the house.
"I don't talk about her all the time." She shows Noah a finger, the most important one.
"And you do so talk about Hotch all the time, just yesterday you talked about how he had ignored you the whole evening ."
"You know what?!" Pandora snapped as she not so gently set down her mug onto the table causing Reid and Morgan to startle away from each other. "You to can continue with with your little Bella and Edward moment."
"You can leave" Reid suggested.
"Or call Gibbs." Athena said jumping at the chance to talk her silver fox.
"I thought that the only older men who you was into were Hotch and Rossi." Morgan stated
"i will organise an orgy" Athena said sounding like a little child. Picking up the phone and dialing.
Meanwhile Reid relaxes his throat when Morgan pushes. His eyes are watery, but Reid looks up. He loves to see the blush on Morgan face. After all this time, Morgan still looks delighted as if it was the first time when Reid swallows him deep. And isn't that a pure delight in itself?
Gently, Morgan places a hand underneath Reid chin. It's only to feel his own dick down Reid throat, but the gesture is loving all the same.
Morgan bites back a moan, but there is no way that Reid can suppress the gurgling sounds he's making. They shouldn't do this with Athena on the other room, but then again there is nothing like choking on that big, fat dick.
He shifts his weight, his old knees squawk. Morgan pulls out his dick only long enough for Reid to catch a breath, before Morgan pushes his dick back inside.
Reid closes his eyes and imagines this dick inside of him. The things Morgan can do are just-
"Fuck!"
Fucking good indeed. Reid just wants to concentrate on how Morgan tastes, how he feels-
But Morgan tries to pull away.
"Shit!"
Reid holds him in place by pressing his fingernails into the meat of his ass, but Morgan pushes against Reid shoulder so he needs to let go. Reid pulls back and knocks his head against the tabletop behind him.
"What the fuck are you doing?"
Reid looks up to find slight panic in Morgan face. Morgan reaches forward to grab his pants but only manages to knock his head against Reid forehead.
"Morgan!"
"I'm sorry, I need to..."
With an apologetic smile Morgan looks into the direction of the door, this is when Reid realizes that Athena stands there. Reid heart does skip a beat and he feels heat on his cheek. He lifts up his hand to wipe his mouth with the back of his hand.
"Go away, sis."
It's not like he and Athena didn't share sexual experiences so Reid initial embarrassment ebbs away quickly. And quite frankly, Reid expects to finish this as soon as Athena closes the door behind her. If only she wouldn't stand there frozen staring at his boyfriend's crotch.
"Shit, fuck!"
Morgan stumbles and somehow loses his balance. He tumbles backwards with his pants still around his knees and his dick dangling in front of Athena's eyes.
"Athena, LOOK AWAY!"
This makes Athena blink. She looks at Reid who has screamed at her and smirks.
"I'll leave you to it."
Athena rolled her eyes as she flicked her cigarette, before she took another drag. The woman sighed as she blew the nicotine from her lips. She stood by the back door of the tattoo studio, waiting for the arrival of her her next client.
She checked her watch.
The clock told her that she still had another ten minutes before her next appointment. The witch finished her cigarette in the quiet of the afternoon. She leaned back and enjoyed some of the warm afternoon sun, before she put out the butt. With one last blow, Athena watched as the smoke flew away.
She moved back inside and headed towards her studio space. Quickly, she washed her hands and popped a stick of gum into her mouth. As she chewed the gum, she thought about Hotch.
If there was one thing that Athena learned about Aaron Hotchner was that he was as close to stoic as a man could get. He was untouchable, unreachable, and he had no qualms about pushing anyone and everyone who tried to reach him away. He wasn't easily shaken and it took more than a little kiss and gore to get Hotch to show even the slightest hint of unease.
But she did it found a way to shake him and push all his buttons.
Jealousy
Before she could get lost in her thoughts, a knock on her studio door caught her attention. She looked over to see Amy , the receptionist, in the doorway.
"Hello, Amy," Athena greeted with a nod.
"The next appointment is here," Amy said in greeting with a studious look on her face.
"Thanks Amy" Athena replied. as she finished setting up the studio for the client's appointment.
Once she was done, Athena followed Amy towards the front. It didn't take long before Athena caught sight of client.
Before Athena could respond in any way, Hotch wrenched himself away, breathing hard
''You flirt with him!''
Athena gawked at Hotch, frozen where she stood. Hotch' glare just intensified.
"He is single!" Athena said, smirking and turning back to Hotch. "I am single!"
Hotch clenched his jaw.
''I can't understand why you care?''She through gritted teeth."You made it clear. You don't want me!"
"He is older than you!"
Athena smirks at Hotch, replies with a cold expression."You know a study found that while overall sexual satisfaction was best in men's 20s, it was virtually as high in men's 40s and 50s."
Hotch just stood there and watched the woman making fun of him . He stood there absolutely calm, but his blood boiling by anger and frustration.
"I am a fool." Hotch laughs, but there is no humor in the sound - only self-loathing. "I convinced myself that I could detach myself from you."
"You snooze you lose!"Athena voice cracks with emotion. Her resolve crumbles the more Hotch speaks to her.
«You can't do this to me!"He shouted, too loud in such a small room. ""You can't come into my life and turn it upside down. You can't flirt with me, kiss me and the next day ignore me..."
«You were the one who ignored me last night!"Athena interrupted.
"You..you...you decided to flirt with one of my agents and friends!"Hotch looked like she was about to explode ."In front of my fucking face!"
"It would be shame to do this behind your back!"Athena scoffed."It was nothing, mister suit."
"It's not nothing!" Aaron screamed, his rage near boiling now. "You can't just go around and flirt with everyone , whoring your self to every man that gives you 4 minute of his attention..."
She snapped and raised her hand, suddenly, the only sound in the air that could be heard echoing throughout the walls were the sounds of skin meeting skin, as Athena slapped Hotch with all she had.
His' head had snapped to the side on impact, his eyes wide in shock and confusion as a handprint was soon there to be seen. No one had EVER slapped Aaron Hotchner before. Well, I guess there's a first for everything.
He turned his face, blue eyes meeting anger, sad and hurt honey-amber ones, as he slowly raised a hand to touch his now throbbing cheek.
Hotch advanced on Athena forcing her to backpedal until her back hit a wall. Hotch continued until his body blocked Athena in. He boxed Athena head in with his arms. Athena eyes went to Hotch lips. Athena tongue darted out wetting her lips. Hotch began to pull away.
Athena grabbed Hotch by the collar and pressed their lips together. Hotch groaned into the kiss. He thinks of her kissing the man from the bar like this and it makes him want to hold him tighter, kiss him harder, banish every trace. A surge of possessiveness, of anger, swells inside of him—Rossi almost had Athena, Rossi flirted with her all evening knowing that Hotch had something for her. Hotch is angry at them both, but most of all with himself, for not quite seeing it, for refusing to see it for what it was. For refusing to see so many things, until it was too late.
"You," Hotch growled in between a kiss. "Are mine. Do you hear me, Athena Reid?"
Athena, too breathless to speak, nodded.
"Do you just expect me to stand by and watch while you flirt with other men?" Hotch kissed Athena neck, who let out a seductive loud moan. "Well I have news for you. No one else can touch you."
Athena was putty in Hotch's hands, turning completely limp under him and allowing Hotch to move her however he pleased. Athena thrust her hips forward, desperate for some friction, but Hotch held her hips firmly in place with his hands.
"Are you telling me this is all for him?" He demanded, yanking her shirt and bra out of the way to finger a rock hard nipple.
«Let go of me! You don't have the right!"
Catching her, Hotch shoved her up against the door, reaching around to unfasten her pants, shoving his hand down the front of her jeans and into her panties.
Hotch chuckled harshly against her neck where he was admiring the expanse of flesh with his tongue.
"Oh, don't have the right, you mean like, him?"
"Wasn't gonna fuck him," Athena ground out, her hips gyrating back against his hardened length against her will.
"You were just being a tease? Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. You know better than that, Athena."
"Don't you Athena me, asshole!You made it clear that you don't want me !" she hissed angrily, as he pinned her hands over her head with one of his own, the other pushing her pants down her thighs.
Releasing his painfully hard erection with a ragged breath, Hotch pressed up against her once again, slipping his cock between her thighs, brushing against her pussy.
A strangled cry emerged from Athena mouth as he continued to slicken his cock with her juices.
"What was that?" He asked running his tongue around the shell of her ear as he tilted her hips and slid home. Thunking her forehead against the door, Athena voice matched the cadence of his thrusts.
"More!"
The sound of him slamming into her is obscenely loud and he lets that sound be the only one filling the room for a moment before he brings his lips to her hear, breathing hot air over her skin as he speaks. "Do you hear how wet you are for me? One goddamn hour and you're already a puddle, imagine what I could do to you if we had all night." She moans in response, tilting her head further back and pushing her hips against him to meet every thrust.
She's close, her clit pulsing under his palm and her breath coming shorter and harsher now. "You need to understand something, are you fucking listening?"
"I'm listening Aaron, please I'm so close!"
"Not yet, hold it for me." He sees a few tears slip down her cheek, flicks his tongue against one and he feels her clench around him. "You're mine, Athena. Every sound, everything you're feeling right now, every moan every orgasm is mine. You are mine now, not Rossi not whoever the hell else you've spread your legs for you're mine." She nods frantically, hands finding his thighs and her blunt nails breaking skin. "Say it."
"I'm yours!"
