âtheyâre not for you,â nanami says flatly. âyou can buy your own.â
shoko squints down at the man lying on her exam table, arm held up and behind his head. âiâm quite literally stitching you back together, you know.â
the blond thinks bitterly on what had landed him in her infirmary in the first place, injured and likely having to reschedule dinner tonight. itâs already well past the time heâd planned on picking you up, and the table heâd reserved at the new restaurant in roppongi has likely been given away.
heâs dreading calling to tell you, his heart already twinging at the idea of letting you down.
shoko stitches him up neatly, cleaning and covering it up with a layer of bandages. she offers him a hand to help him sit up, but he bypasses it to plant his palm against the cot, pushing himself up with a groan.
she rolls her eyes, peeling her gloves off and pulling her mask down, tossing them both into the trash. âclean and dress it at least twice a day. no sudden movements of strenuous activity for at least a week. if you ruin my work, iâll put you on bedrest.â
she digs through her cabinets as he awkwardly pulls his shirt back on. his mind drifts to you as he does so. heâd lost his phone in the fight, so he hadnât been able to tell you about cancelling.
he wonders if the pout on your lips is painted your lips that shade of red youâd been wearing when heâd first met you. wonders if youâre waiting wearing the dress heâd gifted you last week.
heâd really wanted to see you in that dress.
nanami sighs heavily as he does up the buttons, prompting shoko to glance over her shoulder at him.
âwhatâs wrong with you?â she asks, setting a small bottle of painkillers on the tray table next to him.
âiâm missing an important dinner,â he grumbles, wondering if just a bundle sunflowers or peonies from the small stall outside is enough. he should order you a proper bouquet from a shop. perhaps he can also book you a massage orâ
a knock at the door interrupts his spiralling.
âoh!â shoko suddenly gasps. she reaches up, brushing a few stray hairs from his forehead and fixing it as best she can.
âwhat are you doing?â he asks, genuinely confused in this moment.
âyouâll see,â she simply grins, sending him a wink. then, âcome in!â
the door to the infirmary opens to revealâŠyou.
âkento,â you breathe, the quiet click of your heels echoing through the empty room as you quickly walk towards him.
heâs shocked, but lets you carefully wrap your arms around him, cradling his head against your chest.
but before he knows it heâs holding onto you too, breathing in the deep, sweet scent of your perfume and focusing on the steady beat of your heart.
âwhat are you doing here?â he asks once you finally release him, taking your hands in his.
âshoko called me,â you tell him. âapparentlyâŠapparently iâm your emergency contact.â
his face is suddenly hot with embarrassment. heâd honestly forgotten about that. he hadnât even realized heâd done it when yaga had asked him to update his information with the school. your name had been the first and only name to pop into his mind.
âsorry,â he apologizes quickly, dropping your hands. he jumped the gun, didnât he? youâve only been dating for six months⊠âi should have asked you first butââ
but no one knows me better than you.
a soft sigh slips from your lips as you sit next to him, with a gaze so reverent that it strips him to the bone. âi love you, kento. i will be your emergency contact as long as you want me to be.â
he whispers the words back to you, suddenly shy.
sometimes nanami lets himself slip a little too far into his own head, overthinking and a little insecure. but youâre always there, ready to coax him back into the light.
âyou look beautiful,â he murmurs, taking your hand and pressing a kiss to your knuckles. heâs seen you in a lot of dresses, each one making him weak in the knees. but this dressâŠthis one makes it a little hard for him to breathe.
âwell, you still owe me a date,â you tell him, helping him up off the cot. âwe could go to the ramen place across from my apartment.â
he wraps an arm around your shoulders, and you reach up to intertwine your fingers with his. âiâd go anywhere with you.â
summary. you try not to show the crush you have on your coworker, but he beats you to it.

everybody at work wondered what your relationship with nanami kento was.
you couldnât tell them you were just coworkers. because that was slightly different from reality, it wasnât a complete lie though.
the two of you werenât just friends either, so that left everybody a bit confused of what was really going on between you two.
and you werenât sure of it either. you were more than friends, more than coworkers⊠but you still hadnât crossed the threshold of being in a relationship in that sense.
nanami brought you your favorite coffee everyday, waited for you to eat lunch together, kept the open for you, indulged in your company more often, stayed and heard you chatter about all day. everybody could feel the change, because he used to be the kind of person to just do the work assigned to him, report to the upper managers and just finish his work day in tranquility and monotony.
you still didnât know youâd become a breath of fresh air for nanami.
he started looking forward to mondays, because heâd get to spend time with you at work. heâd become sad on fridays, because that meant not seeing you for the weekend.
nanami had just become a whole new, different person, positively speaking.
even the tension on his face and his whole body, that he usually used to wear on his features, was gone, transformed in relaxation just with your smiles and voice alone.
nanami was a new person.
you, on the other hand, couldnât even explain how these feelings came to be. youâd just woken up one day and became more aware of his presence, of his expressions, of his accidental touches.
and nobody could deny the attraction you felt, such a different feeling from that of a friend or a simple acquaintance.
everyday was a day you hoped something more would happen, you wished for things between the two of you to escalate, you wanted to take a step into the deep void of these emotions, but were equally scared of losing it forever. you didnât want whatever you had with nanami to end. thatâs why you hesitated.
you shook your head from these thoughts, trying to enjoy the moment rather than moping sadly over what couldnât be.
nanamiâs gaze was fixed on what seemed to be an important document. his blond hair caressed the sides of his face softly, his face features tensed in a frown of concentration.
he gripped the paper tightly while scribbling something in the border of it.
and almost as if sensing your gaze on him, he raised his eyes to meet yours, and that's how you met your demise.
you felt a familiar heat spread over your cheeks as you quickly diverted your gaze to the computer in front of you, an excel sheet open and waiting to be completed.
âdo you need anything, [l/name]?â his deep voice came to your ears sooner than you expected, you had to take a breath before answering, hoping not to stutter.
this crush is gonna be the end of me one day, you thought to yourself.
âoh not really, donât worry i donât need anything,â your voice got lower as you finished the sentence, and nanami secretly thought you to be rather cute as you tried to hide your face basked in pink behind the monitor.Â
you heard a shuffle coming from where he was sitting, and then a couple of steps that stopped exactly⊠behind your office chair.
for a second, even breathing was hard. you closed your eyes, as nanamiâs head lowered close enough to reach your neck. you could feel his warm breath on your skin, your heart was racing in your ribcage, almost wanting to run away. and maybe thatâs how you felt too.
nanami took a pen that was lying next to your hand, slightly and purposefully grazing at your cold fingers, causing you to shiver from the tip of your fingers to that of your toes.
then, with a couple of steps, he walked back to his seat, as if nothing had happened.
âiâll be borrowing this, thank you,â he seemed to slightly tease you with the tone he used to speak those words. a new side of nanami, huh?
the rest of the day proceeded smoothly, with no special or particular interaction between the two of you. the only confrontations you had were work related, so you tried to bury your mind in the endless documents that still needed to be looked into, as a distraction from your raging feelings that threatened to break free then and there.
âi think nanami would make such a fine husband,â you heard a voice mutter behind you.
âyeah, i agree! i mean, just look at him. heâs the serious type at work, but iâm sure behind closed doors he becomes a different person -â
you snapped up, taking a couple of papers that needed to be printed and quickly stormed out of the office.
you didnât want to know what those colleagues of yours truly meant, you could only imagine. but you didnât like the way your face reddened at the sole mention of his name. you didnât want anyone finding out about your not-so little crush on nanami kento. not so soon, not before taking any action.
after some time, having printed everything needed, you slowly walked to your desk, sighing heavily and hoping for time to go by faster.
you almost didnât notice the small piece of paper positioned next to the pen nanamiâd previously borrowed, a neat calligraphy decorating its bare surface.
âeverytime i look at you i cannot deny how beautiful and amazing you are⊠may i have the honour of taking you out for dinner tonight?â
â kento (if it wasnât obvious enough)
you widened your eyes in disbelief, definitely not expecting nanami to ask you out. and he, too, never thought heâd ever be approaching anybody with the intent of pursuing a romantic relationship with them, he actually wasnât the kind of person to do so. but you made him do it.
the amount of happiness and joy you felt were swelling up in your heart as you raised your head to face him with glistening eyes and an idiotic smile plastered on your face.
nanami was already looking at you, an imperceptible grin slowly creeping up from his lips.
his eyes werenât the least cold, all you could see in them was an endless warmth that put your heart and mind at ease, as you spoke the answer that set your story to begin.
also, a friendly reminder, the world we live in now consists of an active genocide.
of warcrimes being posted on twitter by the official account of israeli government.
of people looking at children, women and men being bombed, killed, starved and butchered and saying it is okay because of a single terrorist group, THAT ISRAEL CREATED.
of westerners saying to look away from the slaughter happening in gaza because your mental health is more important than thousands of lives.
of israeli politicians straight up using propaganda from nazi handbooks to dehumanise palestinians, calling them less than human, less than the rest of us, animals.
and what one palestinian man posted on his social media hit me more than anything: âif we actually were animals, people would care.â

Morgan smiles up at you from his desk as you scramble into the bullpen. Garcia is leaning against his desk as she raises her eyebrows. You toss your go bag under your own desk and push your hair out of your face, trying to ignore the pair.Â
âRough night?â Morgan giggles, as he pushes the pencil heâs holding through his circled fingers suggestively. Garcia guffaws, but at least has the decency to playfully hit Morgan on the shoulder.Â
âCan you two behave for like five minutes?â You groan and try to find your ID badge. You literally just had it to get into the BAU department, but now it has mysteriously disappeared. It isnât on your desk or in any of your pockets, but you do find a couple crumpled up dollar bills that you toss onto your desk without thinking.Â
The appearance of the bills causes Morgan to whistle. Emily walks over and sees the offending currency. âDamn, invite me next time!â She laughs.Â
You roll your eyes and donât reply. Instead, you pull up your go bag and start to empty it. Maybe you accidentally put your badge in one of the pockets, you rationalize.
âWhat is going on?â JJ asks with a small laugh, gesturing to the contents of your go bag now completely strewn across the desk. Clothing and toiletries clutter the surface and you know you look like a crazy person. And maybe you are crazy. No, you definitely are crazy. Anyone who does this job is absolutely batshit crazy.Â
Tears sting your eyes, but you blink them away. You are absolutely not going to have a mental breakdown at eight in the morning in the bullpen, and definitely not in front of fucking Derek Morgan. âI canât find my badge.â You mutter and drop down to your knees to look under your chair and desk.Â
You palm the dirty floor, but donât find anything. Your friends stifle their laughter. âI would help you but this is not a crawl around on the floor kind of dress.â Penelope offers.Â
âGee, thanks.â You say to yourself.Â
âHey, has anyone seen ââ Spencer stops in both his tracks and his sentence when he notices you on the floor. He swallows. âI found your ID badge. Over by the door. I think you dropped it.âÂ
âWonder boy saves the day!â Morgan exclaims.Â
Spencer finishes his trek over to you and offers a hand to help you up. You glance up at him, blushing slightly at the angle. Who wouldâve thought youâd be on your knees in front of Dr. Reid? Okay, youâve definitely thought about it, but your imagination didnât normally make it happen inside Quantico and it absolutely never in front of your coworkers.Â
âSorry, my hands are kind of dirty. Uh, from the floor.â You confess and take his hand as you stand up. His hand is warm and soft, like really soft. Like you could easily fall asleep to him rubbing your back in mindless patterns. As soon as youâre on your feet you slip your hand out of his to avoid your mind adding more ammunition to your middle of the night imaginations about Spencer.Â
âItâs okay.âÂ
âThanks. For the badge⊠and ââ you take the badge from his other hand and gesture meaninglessly between the two of you.Â
âYouâre welcome.â He smiles at you and you feel yourself redden deeper.Â
âAlright, alright! Time for kiss and tell!â Penelope exclaims and you blink away from your eye contact with Reid.Â
âWhat?â You whip your head around to her.Â
Emily makes kissing noises and musses her hair. âYou. And some mystery person. Last night. Clearly.âÂ
You turn toward her. âNo. I wasnâtâŠâ you start, your eyes flick over to Spencer as he walks toward his desk. âThereâs no one.âÂ
JJ leans on your desk and raises her brows. âThen what were you doing last night?âÂ
You could not tell them the truth, but it was also impossible to lie to the best profilers in the country, so you give them a half truth. âNothing. I just had a bad night.â You shrug and start to put your clothing back in your go bag, not bothering to fold it.Â
The truth is that it had been a bad night because you were struggling with the job. Youâd been hired ten months ago and the lack of sleep, the neverending cases, and having to constantly deal with the horrific things humans can do to one another was taking its toll on you. Yesterday had been a day off and you wanted to use it to catch up on sleep, but everytime you closed your eyes, the faces of the people you couldnât save filtered in. You hadnât been able to get a good nightâs sleep since you started and it had caused a complete breakdown last night. You had pulled up Hotchâs contact information four times ready to quit, but you knew you couldnât do it. You were here for a reason, youâd stick it out. Â
Penelope hums. âWell, if it wasnât a person⊠then it mustâve been alcohol.âÂ
âOr gambling.â Emily adds.Â
You roll your eyes. âI donât gamble.âÂ
âYou should. Itâs a lot of fun. Iâll play you in Blackjack.â Emily smiles.Â
âDonât play with her, she counts cards.â Reid murmurs absentmindedly as he reads over a file at his desk.Â
âI do not!âÂ
Everyone laughs, but then the laughter dies away when Hotch comes out of his office. âLooks like no one gets to have fun for a couple of days.â Emily groans.Â
On the flight home after the case, youâre seated across from Spencer. Everyone else is asleep or has headphones in, even Hotch is passed out on the couch, which is rare. You still canât sleep, so you stare out the window into the darkness as you fly over Virgina. Spencer clears his throat and you roll your head to look at him.Â
âAre you okay?â He asks.Â
You allow a small smile to form on your lips. âYeah, Iâm fine.âÂ
He swallows and puts the book in his hand down in his lap as he leans forward slightly. âI know we donât know each other that well yet, but you donât really seem like yourself lately. Are you sure youâre okay?âÂ
The sore achy feeling of wanting to cry but holding it in burns your throat. You cough softly. âIâm okay, really. Just â having trouble sleeping.â You give just a little bit of information, hoping it assuages his curiosity.Â
âIs it that mystery person keeping you up at night?â He asks point-blankly.Â
Your mouth is agape and you snap it shut, âdid you just make a joke?âÂ
âI tried to.â He smiles and you match his smile with your own.Â
âThere really isnât anyone.â You shake your head. âIâve never ââ you almost let the rest of the sentence slip out, but stop yourself just in time. The lack of sleep is obviously affecting you more than you thought.Â
âYouâve never what?â The way he moves his body forward in his seat makes your heart thrum in your chest. His body language is clear, even a rookie behavioral analyst could tell, he was prepared to listen to what you have to say. Not only that, but he actually cared.Â
You bite the inside of your cheek before letting out a sigh. Before you answer, you lean closer toward him, âIâve never had sex, actually.âÂ
His eyes widen and he clears his throat, âyouâre a ââÂ
âVirgin,â you finish for him. âIâm not ashamed or embarrassed by it. And it isnât like Iâm saving it or anything. It just hasnât happened yet.â You shrug. âIn all honesty, part of me just wants to pick some random person and get it over with.â You let out a small breathy laugh in an attempt to make you feel less awkward.Â
âWhy havenât you?â You meet his eyes. âI mean, just found a random person to get it over with?âÂ
One of your shoulders lifts in a half-hearted shrug. âI donât know. Like when I think about it, I realize that Iâd rather have someone I trust, you know. Someone who would take care of me and not just see me as another notch on their bedpost. At least for the first time. And then after that, Iâd feel more comfortable just going out and⊠you know.âÂ
âNotching up some bed posts.â He nods knowingly and you giggle. He smiles, you notice that he enjoys making you laugh. A lot of the time it seems like people are maybe laughing at him or about him, but not you. Heâs never the butt of the joke for you.Â
âSure, Spencer.â You canât help, but trail your eyes over him and contemplate the question thatâs on the tip of your tongue. âHow did you lose your virginity?âÂ
He doesnât seem offended or shocked by your question. âIn college.âÂ
You scoff, âwerenât you like twelve?âÂ
âDuring my undergrad, yes. But I have multiple PhDs.âÂ
âOf course, Doctor Reid.âÂ
He shifts in his seat. âI was twenty. She was, uh, we worked in the same lab. And had the same research advisor.âÂ
âSo you two experimented on each other.â You joked.Â
Spencerâs face flushed and you felt a pang deep in your stomach. âIn a way, yes.âÂ
âIâm joking, Spencer.â He nods in understanding. âWere you like her boyfriend?âÂ
âNo, we just ââÂ
âHooked up.â You finish for him.Â
âFor a couple months, yeah.âÂ
Your mouth drops and you whisper, âyou had a fuck buddy?âÂ
His blush deepens. âI donât think we ever called each other that.âÂ
âWhat did you call her?âÂ
âI donât know. We never talked about it. I finished my doctoral thesis before her.â He shrugs.Â
âWow, who knew.âÂ
âWhat?âÂ
âMorgan isnât the only playa on the team.â You giggle and scrunch your nose, feeling the stress of the last few weeks dissipate from your shoulders.Â
âIâm notâŠâ he laughs and shakes his head. He glances out the window. âWeâre landing soon.â He swallows and leans back in his seat. It was terrible, but you had a strong urge to step across to his seat and straddle his lap and kiss him until you were both breathless. You turn your gaze back to the window and try to force the image away.Â
Your car wouldnât start. You forcefully turned the key in the ignition again, and it sputtered and died. As you hit your steering wheel, you let out a frustrated noise and hit it again. You turn to grab your cell phone from your bag to call a tow truck and jump when you hear a knock on your driverâs side window. Spencer stands there apologetically, waving his hand with his closed mouth smile.Â
He steps aside when you open the car door and get out. âIs everything okay?âÂ
âNo.â You laugh bitterly. âMy car wonât start and I need to get a tow.â You bite your lip, but canât stop the tears that bubble over.Â
Spencer freezes, but then reaches out and touches your shoulder lightly. âItâs okay.â For some reason his comfort makes you cry harder. âOh, uh, here,â he mutters and pulls you into a full hug. He squeezes you tight against him and rubs your back as you cry into his chest.Â
âIâm sorry, Spencer.â You blubber into his shirt.Â
âNo, itâs okay. Itâs gonna be okay.âÂ
âIs it?â You pull away from his chest to look in his eyes. âIâm failing at this job and ââÂ
âWoah, failing at this job?â He interrupts. âWho said that?â His brows furrow angrily.Â
âNo one.â You blink away the tears stuck in your eyelashes and Spencer reaches up and swipes away one that trails down your cheek.Â
âYouâre not failing. Youâre excelling. Youâre incredible. Truly, I mean that. I wouldnât lie to you. I promise.â He swallows and you realize how close to his face you are, his hands wrapped around your back.Â
You donât stop yourself, even though you know you should, as you lean into him. His eyes flutter down to your lips, but he doesnât pull away, so you keep going. Your lips touch his lightly, barely there before you back away.Â
His hands tighten on you and pull you closer to him. He chases your lips with his and kisses you back, your own hands are on his chest and they twist into his shirt. You kiss him fervently, his hands traveling to your lower back, arching you into him. A moan escapes from the back of your throat and it breaks the spell. Spencer pulls away from the kiss.Â
His lips are pink and shimmery and you want to kiss him again. Desperately. âIâm sorry.â He murmurs, his tongue slipping out and swiping across his bottom lip.Â
âWhat for?â You blink.Â
âKissing you.âÂ
âI kissed you.âÂ
âI kissed you back.âÂ
âAnd you should do it again.âÂ
His eyes dart to your lips. He wants to, you can tell, but he stops himself. âWe shouldnât.âÂ
âNot here, at least.â You glance behind him and pray that the parking garage is completely empty. If your coworkers acted the way they did this morning about a nonexistent mystery person, you can only imagine their reactions if they saw you making out with Spencer.Â
âItâs inappropriate.âÂ
âI donât care.âÂ
âThereâs paperwork.âÂ
âNot if we donât tell anyone.âÂ
âThatâs not how that works.â He laughs, you can feel the vibrations of the sound against his chest.Â
âDo you always play by the rules, Dr. Reid?âÂ
He swallows harshly, you watch the movement of his Adamâs apple bob against the tight skin of his neck. âIâll drive you home.â He deflects.Â
You reach up on your toes and kiss him again. His hands spread on your back and press you against him and your hands pull him tighter to you, wrinkling his shirt. You hear footsteps and both of you step away from each other instantly, putting distance between your bodies. You turn your head to see a person you donât recognize come into view from the other side of the parking garage. They donât even glance in your direction. The hammering in your chest slows and you turn back to Spencer. He runs a hand through his hair.Â
âGrab your bag.â He says with an authority that makes you spring into action quickly. Neither of you say anything as you follow him down the rows of agentsâ cars to his car. He opens the passenger side for you, the vintage car creaks in protest. He closes the door and you watch from the rearview mirror as he walks around the back of the car toward the driverâs side, his hands in his pocket.Â
He slides into the car seat and starts the car, it rumbles to life loudly. âI normally donât even drive to work, just take public transportation. But I had an errand the other day.â He explains absentmindedly as he checks the rearview mirror and slowly backs out of the park spot.Â
âItâs kismet.âÂ
âI always thought it was interesting that the English pilfered that word from the Turkish language. Considering words like fate and destiny already existed. Some etymologists attribute it to the rampant orientalism at the time. You know, like kismet was more mysterious or mystical or exciting than just simple fate.â He rambles and drives you out of the parking garage. A heady want begins to grow in your lower stomach. âAnd of course, the Turkish developed the word from an Arabic word meaning portion or lot. Which is fascinating.âÂ
âIt is.â You say earnestly.Â
He glances over at you sheepishly. âSorry, I donât mean to ramble.âÂ
âDonât apologize. I like it.âÂ
His eyes are already back on the road, but you can see his cheeks redden in a slight blush. âWhere do you live?â He asks and you tell him. It isnât a long drive, well it isnât this late at night. Your morning commute is a nightmare. He gives you a brief look, âwhy did you join the BAU?âÂ
You exhale a long breath before you answer. âI wanted to help people I guess. Which is so cliche, but itâs the truth. Like it isnât even about putting bad guys away or whatever. I just want to make the world safer. For everyone.â You look over at him and he meets your gaze for a split second.Â
âYou are doing a good job.â He states. You shake your head. âI mean it. You are. Youâre making a difference. Youâre helping people.âÂ
âBut how do you keep your head above water? I mean⊠how do you not let it beat you down?âÂ
âWe have each other. And you focus on the good.âÂ
You sit in a comfortable silence for a few minutes, letting his words sink in. âThanks, Spencer. For everything today.âÂ
He pulls into a parking spot in front of your apartment building. âIâll walk you up.âÂ
You go to unbuckle your seatbelt, but it doesnât budge. You try again, but again, nothing.Â
âOh, sometimes it sticks. Here,â he leans across the middle and reaches for your seatbelt buckle. His fingers graze the outside of your thigh and inhale sharply, electricity buzzing from the simplest of touches. He unbuckles you and you let the seat belt slide across your body, he doesnât move away from you. Heâs close enough that you can feel his breath on your skin, it enflames you.Â
âSpencer,â you whisper and turn your head toward him. His eyes slowly trail down your face toward your lips and then back up to your eyes. You canât take it, so you lean forward and kiss him again. Tentative at first, waiting for him to respond. He does, his hands pulling your face closer to his, deepening the kiss. When you feel his tongue swipe across your bottom lip you open for him, let him explore and learn. You sigh into his mouth, your hands find their way to the back of his neck.Â
He slips away from you, breathless, but starts to kiss down your jaw. He mutters your name against your skin. You feel the warmth of his kisses travel down your spine toward your core.Â
âCome upstairs.â You sigh, when he bites lightly on a sensitive spot on your neck.Â
âI canât. I shouldnât.â He pants against your skin.Â
âI want you.âÂ
He groans, deep and frustrated, and moves to lean his forehead against yours, both of your heavy breathing intermingling and becoming one. âYou shouldnât want me.âÂ
âWhy not? And donât say the bullshit about us working together. I donât care, Spencer. I trust you. I want you.âÂ
He backs his head away from your forehead so that he can look into your eyes, his thumb against your cheek brushes back and forth. âYou trust me?âÂ
âWith everything in me.â He kisses you again, softly, tenderly.Â
âIâll take care of you.âÂ
âI know.â You kiss him back and then pull away. He nods and you return it with a nod of your own.Â
His tongue glides across his lip and he swallows. You blink and heâs moving out of his seat and already at the passenger side door before you can reach for the handle. He opens it quickly and helps you out. Itâs old school, but it makes your heart stutter and start. When he takes your hand in his, it feels like two magnets being drawn together. He slams the car door shut and you lead him up to your apartment.Â
Once you unlock your front door and guide him in, you shut the door and turn to look at him. You flick on the light. He stares at you and asks, âyouâre sure?âÂ
âPositive.â You step toward him and reach out to slide your hands across his stomach and then land on his waist. âDo I have to kiss you first again, or ââ you donât have to finish your question before his lips are on yours. His kisses are not tentative or searching, theyâre needy and impassioned. Before long, youâre clawing at his shirt, untucking it from his pants and then reaching up to undo his tie.Â
He stops you as he breathes laboriously. âWait, we should slow down.âÂ
You continue to work on his tie, perpetually crooked, but now just an obstacle to what you need desperately. âI donât wanna go slow.âÂ
He moans and you finally get his tie undone and whip it off. âNo, we should.âÂ
Your fingers work deftly against his buttons, one at a time, and you look up at him. âIâm a virgin, but Iâm not inexperienced. Iâm not a delicate flower.âÂ
His expression changes, his eyes grow heavy and he quirks his jaw. âNot inexperienced?âÂ
âIâm not.â You almost sound like a petulant teenager.Â
âHow far?âÂ
âWhat?âÂ
âHow far have you gotten?â Your hands stop almost halfway through the third to last button. You donât answer. His voice deepens, gravely and sexy, âyouâve clearly kissed before.â You nod. âHave you had someone feel your breasts?â As he asks the question, his hand reaches up and caresses your breast. You lean into the touch. âHas anyone put their mouth on your breasts, marking you as theirs? Rolling your nipple between their teeth?â He inclines his head into the crook of your neck and presses a hot kiss there. âHave you ever had somebody's mouth on your clit?âÂ
Your breathing is sharp and jagged, but Spencer simply continues. âWould you let someone use their tongue to make you come? Or maybe even their fingers? Pump their fingers into until you're squirming?âÂ
âSpencer,â you plead.Â
He continues to massage your breast as his other hand slips under your shirt and trails across your hips and stomach. âOr do you just mean that youâve touched yourself? Youâve laid in bed and explored this beautiful body. Know just exactly how to make yourself shiver from your own fingers.âÂ
Youâre almost overwhelmed by his touch, his lips on your skin, and his words, your head is spinning, but youâre also desperate for more.Â
âWeâre going to take it slow.â He informs you and it isnât up for discussion. âNot because I think youâre a delicate flower.â He throws your own words back at you. âBut because I want to take my time with you. I want to learn everything about your body. I want to touch every single inch of you with my hands. I want to make you come, I want to feel you come. Over and over again.â Youâre practically shaking in his hands when his lips and teeth scrap across your jaw and to your lips. He takes them with his and youâre like clay on a potterâs wheel, malleable and completely at his will, waiting to be crafted into his masterpiece.Â
âDo you want that?â He breathes on your lips.Â
You somehow know instinctively that he wants a verbal confirmation, so you answer, âyes.âÂ
He continues to kiss you, deeply, almost like a starved man tasting his first bit of sustenance. You answer with your own fervency. His hand at your hip squeezes and pulls you tight against him and you feel his want against you. It makes you moan. You grind your body against him and his grip tights even more.Â
âBedroom. Whereâs your bedroom?â He stutters, but doesnât stop kissing you and you donât stop either. Your hands are in his hair, pulling and twisting, holding him impossibly close to you. You didnât know kissing could make you feel this way, simultaneously feverish and desperate, but also insatiable. You felt like you could kiss Spencer for a lifetime and never tire of it. He wasnât close enough even though your bodies were pressed together, you needed more. The only thought in your brain is simply, more, more, more.Â
He pulls away from you, both of you taking heaving breaths. His lips were perfectly pink, your body thrummed with the knowledge that you caused such a change in him.Â
âBedroom.â The single word went straight to your core. You take his hand and guide him to your bedroom.Â
Once you turn on the light, heâs behind you, pressing into you. You can feel every part of him, and he kisses the back of your neck. Heâs back to being soft and gentle. He brings his hands to your stomach and inches them under your shirt until he has your breasts in his hands.Â
Your breasts feel heavy and logically you know why. Blood has rushed to them, just as it has rushed to your other erogenous zones, and it is sending a signal to your brain to release oxytocin. But youâre realizing that logic has no place in your head when Spencerâs hands and mouth are on you. Logic means nothing to you at this moment.Â
âYouâre so beautiful.â He compliments as he fondles your breasts, your head lolls back against his chest. He angles his head so he can kiss your cheek. âYou distracted me that very first case you were on. Did you know that?âÂ
âNo,â your eyes flutter shut when he moves down to kiss your jaw.Â
âI thought you were so gorgeous. After the case, I went home to my apartment and touched myself as I imagined you. I felt so ashamed, I couldnât even look you in the eyes the next morning.âÂ
Your mind wanders back to all those months ago. âI thought I had done something wrong,â you remember.Â
âNo, it was me. I was wrong. But I couldnât stop. I mean you can feel what you do to me.â He was right, you could distinctly feel the effect you had on him.Â
âI thought of you too.â You confess.Â
âYou did?â His voice is low and breathy and you nod. âIn that bed.â He ticks his head to gesture toward it. âTell me.âÂ
You feel yourself heat with blush. His thumbs brush across your nipples through your bra and your breath gets caught in your throat. You swallow and answer. âI would lie there, normally because I couldnât sleep. And then Iâd think about you. Your hands, Iâd think about your hands.âÂ
âMy hands?â He squeezes your breasts.Â
You nod and answer simultaneously, âyes. Iâd imagine them on my body, touching me.â He brushes your nipples again and you shiver. âAnd Iâd slip my hand into my underwear, and rub my clit. Pretend it was you.â His hands abandon your breasts and slide around to your back. You step forward as he takes off your shirt and then unhooks your bra and helps you out of it. His hands on your hips turn you to face him.Â
âI knew you were beautiful. But youâre perfect.â Your instinct is to feel self conscious under his gaze, but you push it away when you notice the admiration in his eyes. Â
You reach for him and finish the job of unbuttoning his shirt and then peeling it off of him. âFair is fair.â You say. He laughs, but his laugh dies in his throat when your nails scratch down his chest.Â
Your hands explore his exposed chest and back, feeling the muscle move underneath soft skin, and he works to rid you of your pants. You use him for balance as you step out of your pants, but as soon as you're standing on two feet again, he backs you toward your bed.Â
When the back of your legs hit the bed, you allow yourself to fall back onto it. He leans over you, your legs open for him and he kisses you again. Your hands continue their previous tour of his back, now feeling how his shoulder blades move when he grinds against you.Â
The first time he does it, you throw your head back in a moan. Even though you have multiple layers of fabric between you, you can still feel the heat radiating through you. He does it again and you arch up to meet his movement. When he does it a third time your nails scratch down his back.Â
He makes a low noise from the back of his throat and you know that your panties are soaked. His lips take a journey down your body, kissing and nipping at your clavicle, your chest, spending a significant amount of time on both of your breasts, and down your stomach. Your clawing at his back by the time his mouth meets the band of your underwear.Â
âLook at you,â he whispers. His thumb rubs lightly at your clit over the fabric. Your thighs clench and he laughs. âKeep them open for me, baby.â You mewl at the pet name. âYou like that? Being called baby?âÂ
âYes.â You groan out when his thumb repeats his earlier action.Â
He does it again, almost unbearably slow. âI want to taste you so bad. Iâve wanted to know how good you taste for so long.â His voice is strained.Â
âYou can. I want you to.âÂ
His hands skate up to the hem of your underwear and you lift your hips slightly as he pulls them down. You open your legs for him again and he swallows. âStunning.â His mouth is on you before you have time to process the word.Â
Almost instantly, he moans against you, the vibrations causing your toes to curl. Your hands clench your duvet and he pulls away for a split second, âtouch me.â You do what he asks, coiling your fingers into his hair. He laps at your clit, creating a pattern and rhythm that makes your buck up to meet him. His hands grip at your hips and hold you in place.Â
âSpencer, oh fuck,â you ramble. He answers by moaning against you again and then sucking your clit into his lips. You bite down a scream. The heat at the base of your spine spreads across your body. âOh my god. Oh god.âÂ
He alternates between lapping and sucking at your sensitive bud, your nails practically digging into his scalp, your toes curling, as you try to catch your breath. Just at the moment where it feels like too much, your body clenches and crashes over the edge of your ecstacy, his name falling from your lips repeatedly.Â
He continues to lap at you softly until your muscles relax in his arms and then he looks up at you, smiling and his lips glistening, âyouâre incredible.â You pull him up, so that you can kiss him. You kiss the taste of you off his lips. He brings his head up to look at you, pushes away the stray hairs stuck to your forehead. âAre you going to get sick of me calling you beautiful?â He smiles.Â
âNo, I donât think I could.â He smiles into another kiss. His hands travel down your body and as soon as one of his fingers slides across your folds, the flames reignite.Â
âIs this okay?â He asks.
âI want all of you.â One of his fingers slips inside of you and then he pulls it out. He slides it back in and then repeats his action, starting slow and building up to a comfortable tempo, as he continues to kiss you. Nothing about his movements is frantic, but rather languid and relaxed, gently stoking the growing fire inside of you. You grind your hips against his finger and he smoothly adds a second finger. The feeling is different, but not bad as you feel yourself accommodating the extra digit.Â
âAlright?â He checks in with you, looking into your eyes.Â
âIt feels good.â Itâs not like the times youâve laid here in this bed with your fingers inside you. Itâs an entirely divergent sensation that you donât think your imagination would have been able to conjure. âReally good.âÂ
âYeah?â He stops sliding his fingers in and out and instead leaves them inside as he pumps them, almost as if heâs searching. He finds what heâs looking for when you gasp and cling to his shoulder.Â
âYeah.â You nod furiously, biting down on your lip. Heâs no longer building the tension within you. Instead, itâs like heâs playing with a taut rubber band, waiting for it to snap.Â
You feel your eyes start to close, wanting to roll to the back of your head. âKeep your eyes on me, baby. I want to see. Want to see you come apart for me.âÂ
You force your eyes open. âSpencerâŠâÂ
âI know, relax into it.â His thumb starts to rub your clit. âYouâre doing so good.â Â
âOh my god,â you start to mutter and ramble again, a mixture of curses and Spencerâs name. You never break eye contact with him. Itâs intense, but also intimate.Â
âAre you gonna come for me, baby?âÂ
You let out a whine in answer and feel a muscle in your thigh twitch. Your core clenching on his fingers, the wet sounds of his fingers inside of you filling the room. The grip on his shoulders is tight and you hope it isnât painful, but he barely seems to notice, all of his attention is on you. The mixture of admiration and lust on his features is almost too much. But youâre realizing that Spencer Reid never does anything part way or half-assed. Once Spencer puts his mind to something, heâs going to accomplish it. Not only that, but heâs going to put an almost Herculean effort into it. And somehow, youâve become something heâs put his mind to. The thought makes you lean up and kiss him.Â
You kiss him until a gasp separates your lips from him. âSo perfect,â he muses. Your core constricts and contracts on his fingers. Your breathing is short and your legs feel like theyâre shaking, but you canât really tell. âCome for me.âÂ
One more shaky breath and then you do, the rubber band snaps. Your body arcs up into him and he swallows your shout with his lips, kissing you deeply. Again, he slows down but doesnât stop, guiding you down from your high. When he does pull his fingers from you, you watch as he brings them to his mouth and sucks them clean.Â
This time you donât need him to rekindle the flame of need inside of you, it's already there. You reach between your bodies for his belt. Together, the two of you make quick work of the last of his clothing. And then heâs kissing you again, both his hands and your own caress, rub, and grab at each other. You reach down lower and lower, until you meet his hardened length with your hand. You grip the base and he falters.Â
âIâd love that. Really, I want it so bad. But I wonât last, baby.â You squeeze him again and smile up at him, fluttering your eyelashes. âYouâre a vixen.â He laughs, kissing you.Â
âI want you.âÂ
âFuck. I donât have a condom.â You blink, itâs the first time youâve ever heard Spencer drop the f-bomb. You giggle.Â
âI have some.â One of his eyebrows raises in question and you shrug. âI like to be prepared. Theyâre over there.â You gesture toward your nightstand and he stretches over to open it.Â
âOh,â he lets out a surprised gasp and just then you remember what else is in your top drawer. âI guess you donât just use your fingers to masturbate, do you?â He laughs.Â
You reach up behind you and grab a pillow and toss it at him. He dodges it and it falls to the floor. âLike I said, Iâm a virgin, not inexperienced.âÂ
Spencer grabs the box of unopened condoms, opens it and pulls one out. He carefully places the box back, his eyes lingering on your menagerie of sex toys.Â
âWhat are you doing?â You ask.Â
âI have an eidetic memory. Iâm remembering⊠for later.â He smiles and you feel your heart speed up, pounding against your ribcage. You hadnât had time to discuss anything past tonight. His smile falters. âI mean â I donât mean to presume anything. Only if you want.âÂ
You reach over to him and pull him back toward you, kissing him. âI do. I want there to be a next time. Other times.âÂ
He looks down at you, searching. âGood, I do too.â He kisses you and only pulls away to put on the condom. He continues his kisses as he moves to position himself, spreading your legs for him. He brushes his thumb over your clit again and you moan. When he lifts his head from yours and glances up at you. You nod your head.Â
You feel the tip of him at your entrance, pressing against you, but not fully in. Thatâs all he does at first, until you move on him and allow him to slip into you. He works himself into you, allowing you to stretch around him. It isnât uncomfortable, but itâs definitely a new sensation. None of your toys feel like him. Both of you watch as his penis slowly disappears inside of you. He pushes in the last inch with a thrust. Thereâs a flash of a pinch and you let out a breath.Â
âAre you okay?â He asks.Â
âYeah, just give me a second.â He nods, licks his bottom lip and then resumes his circles on your clit. It only takes a few seconds for you to relax on him. You grind your hips, somehow taking him deeper. He groans. âMove, Spencer. Please.âÂ
He inches out of you and then pushes back in without any urgency or force. He starts the same pattern and rhythm his fingers had used earlier that night. The feeling of him moving inside of you is incredible, you can feel him dragging against your walls. His body against yours, skin to skin, more connected than youâve ever been with anyone else. Between the feeling of him pumping into and his movement against your clit, it doesnât take long until youâre clawing at his back, wordlessly asking him for more. He answers, creating a relentless rhythm that you grind your hips to match.Â
At some point, your eyes had shut and you hadnât realized and so you force them open again, wanting to watch Spencer come apart just like he watched you. âYou feel so good. Better than I could have imagined.â He starts to ramble. âI canât believe I get to feel you like this. So good.âÂ
His eyes shoot down to watch himself slip in and out of you. âFuck.â He cusses again. You decide you like when he curses, especially if youâre the reason. He moves his hips and his cock finds the same spot his fingers found earlier and you clench around him as you let out a deep groan.Â
You lose track of time, it moves at a snailâs pace, but also at the speed of light. Time ceases to exist to you, your world shrinks down to only the two of you, everything else falls away. And then youâre falling again, diving headfirst into an orgasm.Â
âYes, yes. I love feeling you like this. Oh my god⊠oh fuck. Iâm gonna ââ he sputters.Â
You reach up and pull his lips to yours, kissing him through his own orgasm. He shakes above you as he pumps into you with a final harsh push. And then when he peaks, he slowly fucks into you through his orgasm. He continues to kiss you until both of your breathing returns to normal and then he lifts his head to look at you.Â
He smiles and you canât help it when a huge toothy smile appears on your own face.Â
âAre you okay?â He inquires.Â
âIâm perfect.âÂ
His hand reaches up and caresses the side of your face. âYou are.âÂ
The next morning you walk into the office still smiling. Everyone is around the desks, including Spencer. He glances over at you and nods in greeting, as if you hadnât just said goodbye to him a few hours ago, the first golden rays of dawn streaming through your bedroom window.Â
âGood morning.â You say to everyone. You set your go bag down at your desk and Emily smiles over at you, a mischievous glint in her eyes.Â
âOh, Morgan. You had it all wrong.â She teases.Â
Morgan looks at Emily and then over to you. âWhat?âÂ
âThat is the look of a woman who got it real good last night.â Emily laughs, loud and brash. You smile with her and Penelope gasps.Â
âTell. Me. Everything.â She runs over to you and grabs onto your arm.Â
âI have no idea what you mean.â You reply innocently.Â
JJ smirks. âOh, she got it real good last night.âÂ
âIs sex all you guys think about?â You joke. The girls laugh and Morgan still seems confused. Spencer is focused on the file on his desk, but his finger isnât moving down it and you know he isnât reading it. âI had a good night last night.â You give a small inch, just to stave them off. Penelope squeals. You grab her hand. âAnd thatâs all Iâll say about it.âÂ
âBoo!â Emily exclaims.Â
Penelope almost pouts. âOh, you are the worst!âÂ
âI know!â You laugh gleefully. Spencer looks up for only a split second, but you catch it and he smiles at you.Â
âIâll find out eventually. You do know that, right?â Penelope warns.Â
âYou are terrifying.â You squeeze her arm and turn away from the group to start on your mountain of files. Itâs true that eventually everyone would probably find out about you and Spencer, but for now the two of you get to live in your own personal world. You smile to yourself.

Summary: After telling a white lie to your family about your relationship status, your forced to beg your coworker Spencer to pretend to be your boyfriend for a weekend wedding.
Warnings: Light smut at the end, penetrative sex, creampie, mentions of Spencer's childhood.
A/N: Thank you for the request on this one! Ever since I rewatched Season 7 and saw Spencer dancing with everyone at JJ's wedding I've been thinking non-stop about him just holding you close like that and I'm going to shut up now because 8k words of that is more than enough lmao.
You can find my masterlist here, and I just started posting all my stuff on AO3 as well, so if you prefer to read there, check it out!
Despite knowing about your brotherâs impending nuptials for the last 18 months, it was in the final two-week stretch that you actually started panicking about getting the date that youâd promised them. It was one sweet little white lie that you had made that had just spiraled out of control, but youâd yet to actually manifest the secretive boyfriend who was âvery real actually, mom, heâs coming to the wedding actually.â
It was that statement that had sealed your fate, and always one to wear your emotions on your face when you werenât on a case, it wasnât long before someone noticed your building anxiety and guilt.
âOkay, spill Y/N. You look like you just witnessed your favorite author kick a puppy or a kitten or something,â Penelope said when you dropped some files off in her room that morning, spinning around on her chair to face you as soon as she caught your reflection in her monitor.
âItâs this wedding I have to go to,â you sighed dramatically, falling into one of the other chairs in the room kept for visitors.
âWant me to help you get out of it?â Penelope offered, patting your hand comfortingly.
âIâm not sure my brother would be too pleased about that, since itâs his wedding and all. My mother would drag me down all the way from here herself if she had to.â
âOkay, so a no-show is a no-go. Then what gives, my sweet avenging angel? There has to be something serious to get you looking all glum.â
You sighed and ran a hand through your hair before straightening up and leaning into Penelope more, creating an air of secrecy.
âPromise you wonât tell?â
âOh sweetie, if only you knew the secrets these four walls held,â she replied dramatically, pulling a laugh from you.
âLast year, I was so, I donât know, jealous I guess, of all the attention my brother and his fiancee were getting because of the wedding, and it just felt like every time my mom called me, she would only want to talk about them because of the wedding. I felt left out, and I already live so far away anyway, so itâs hard to have that connection with people back home, so I might have told a small, tiny, inconsequential lie that now actually has consequences?â Your face flushes at the confession, and you can see Penelope trying her best not to blurt out her thoughts, intent on letting you continue.
âI told her I was seeing this guy. Heâs amazing, he works in the FBI just like me, and heâs smart, and he takes me on dates to these amazing places, like museums and interesting restaurants and to book fairs. I told her he was handsome and that he looked at me like I put the stars in the night sky, and he just doesn't exist, Penelope. And now I have to disappoint my mother again by turning up to my brother's wedding without a date.â
âOh sweetheart,â was all she said for a minute, and the sympathetic look on her face made you want to run out of there immediately.
âI know, I know, I need to tell her the truth, but I donât want to do it at the wedding and spoil her happiness. She loves weddings.â
âAnd this fake boyfriend is supposed to be your plus-one?â she asked.
âMy invitation read âTo our darling sister and her mystery man,ââ you groaned, wondering how you could have been so childish in the first place. Youâd acted like any child on a playground would, inventing lies to make yourself seem more important and cooler.
âI think I have the perfect solution for you, angel, but you might not like it,â Penelope grinned from her chair, leaning back and playing with the pen in her hands nefariously as if sheâd been waiting for this chance her whole life. You didnât trust that look, but you had no other option, so you took a deep breath and listened to her plan.
âXâ
Three days later, and you were suddenly pacing the hallways with a coffee and a croissant, poised and ready to kidnap an FBI Agent the second he passed you.
At first, youâd laughed at the suggestion sheâd made, outlandish as it was. But 72 hours of reflection, and a timely phone call from your mother, and suddenly you were on board and ready to lock on to your target. You stopped pacing when you heard the elevator ding, signaling the arrival of Spencer Reid. You were thankful that his schedule was so regular and timed down to the minute that you had just enough time to ambush him in the hallway before any other member of your team noticed.
âSpencer! Here I bought you coffee and a croissant from that cafe I mentioned a while back,â you panicked, unloading the gifts into his arms quickly, taking him off guard, before checking left and right before pushing him into the nearest empty room and shutting it behind you.
âGood morning to you, too, Y/N. Is there a reason weâre in a closet right now?â he asked, looking down at you with knitted eyebrows.
âYes,â you gumped, afraid to say anymore.
âAre you going to tell me what the reason is?â
âI need you to be my boyfriend for a weekend,â you finally blurted out.
âYou need me to⊠Just for a weekend?â He looked confused, and you felt your cheeks flame up, as you tried your best to explain the situation for him.
âMy brother is getting married in LA this weekend, and I need a date. I told my mom last year that I was in a relationship with a really great guy who also works for the FBI.â
âOh. So, you broke up with him and donât want to tell your mom?â
âNo, he never existed. Long story, I can explain on the plane, but I really need you to come with me! Iâll pay for everything, and Iâll even get you this coffee and any pastry of your choice every day for a month, please, please, please!â You begged him, so desperate that you were moments away from dropping to your knees and grabbing his leg, refusing to move until he acquiesced. You didnât have to in the end.
âOh, sure, Iâll go. When did you say it was?â Your jaw fell open in shock, and it took a few seconds to pull yourself back together as you reacted to his words.
âThis weekend? The flight is tomorrow at 6 a.m.â You smiled sheepishly as his eyes bugged out of his head.
âThis weekend? What were you going to do if I said no?â He laughed at you a little, taking a sip of the coffee you bought him.
âHonestly? Plan B was to cry, and plan C was to kill off my mystery man in a freak accident.â
âWow, we just started fake dating and youâre already trying to bump me off.â His smile made you burn hotter than before, as you playfully hit his arm in response.
âStop saying weâre dating. I pulled you in here to ask you privately because I didnât want weird rumors circulating in the office,â you pouted.
âThen you better let me out of the closet, Y/N, before people think weâre doing something we shouldnât be. At least three people saw you drag me in here, you know.â
With that, you rush to open the door and run out, shouting a reminder back at him.
âJust be ready, okay. Iâll see you at the airport at 6 a.m.â
âXâ
The flight, despite being ridiculously long, was altogether quite pleasant, and you made it back to California in one piece, Spencer trailing behind you like a lost puppy for a while, letting you take up the role of âairport dadâ as you guided him through the airport and to the hotel where the wedding was being held.
âSo whatâs our cover story?â He asked in the taxi on the way there, breaking the comfortable silence.
âWhat cover story?â you asked, looking up at him from your phone, still focused on just getting to the destination.
âWhere did we meet, how long have we been dating, how much do they know about me?â He listed off the possible questions that his parents were absolutely going to interrogate him with soon. âI need to prepare so we donât get caught out, right?â
âOh, right. Based on what I told them, we met at work and weâve been seeing each other casually for about a year now. I didnât give them a name yet, which annoys my mom to no end, but I was always pretty private as a child so she didnât find it all that suspicious. Other than that, they donât know that much about my mystery boyfriend apart from the things weâve done together.â He listened attentively as you spoke, taking each of your words in and committing them to memory.
âWhat was our first date?â He asked.
âCoffee shop. That place I got you the coffee from earlier, itâs called Flondon. Iâm a regular there, so it made sense to use it in my story.â
âWhat else have we done together?â
âThere was a book fair in New York a few months back that we, uh, spent the weekend at. You surprised me for my birthday with the tickets.â
âWow, so Iâm a really great boyfriend then.â He joked a little, and you let out another groan of annoyance at his teasing. You didnât get the chance to finish your conversation though, as the taxi finally pulled up to the hotel.
You climbed out of the taxi after paying the driver, Spencer having already left to grab your bags, before walking into the foyer of the hotel.
âY/N, just one last thing before we go in,â he stopped you at the door, grabbing you by the arm gently. âAre we⊠the, um. Hotels tend to get booked up pretty early for weddings, and Iâm sure your family will be suspicious if we donât share a room soâŠâ
He didnât have to finish voicing his thoughts before you were cursing, not having made the connection before.
âShit, youâre right. My brother made the booking for me months ago. We just have to go in and get the room key but I totally forgot⊠Itâs fine, right? Weâve roomed together on cases, havenât we?â You asked, looking up at him.
âNo, we havenât. 67% of our motel bookings allow for single occupation rooms for Agents, I end up sharing a room with Morgan for 15% of overnight stays where double occupation is necessary, Hotch for another 17%, and the remaining 1% is made up of outliers where I had to share with Rossi or Prentiss, but weâŠwe havenât shared before.â He gestured between the two of you for a moment there, letting the facts sit with you.
âSpencer, itâs okay with me, is it okay with you? I understand if youâre not comfortable with it. We can just turn around now if you want.â
âNo, no itâs totally fine. I just wanted to make sure youâre comfortable with it. Morgan says I snore, so I guess Iâm not the best roommate in the world.â He smiled at you then, reassuringly, and moved his hand down your arm until it reached your hand.
You looked down at where his hand had entwined with yours and your heart gave a little jolt. Spencer didnât like physical touch, and you knew that. You tried not to initiate any contact with him, despite being a touchy person, but there had been times after particularly tough cases and with close calls where youâd thrown yourself into the nearest person's arms, and he always happened to be near.
But those hugs had been thoughtless, natural reactions to stressful situations and this was intentional, and more importantly, heâd started it.
âSorry, I just assumed we should get used to, uh, touching each other, I guess? Weâre going to be doing it all weekend, you know, might as well start now.â He gave you an awkward closed-lip smile, and you giggled at his awkward explanatory tone. Squeezing his hand a bit, you grabbed your suitcase again in your free hand, and pushed open the door with your shoulder, pulling Spencer in behind you.
The lobby was filled with people arriving for the wedding, and you instantly spotted three cousins and two aunts from across the room, giving them a little smile as you made your way to the reception desk, Spencer right at your side.
âHi, reservation for Y/N L/N, please.â
âSister of the groom, right? Your mother asked me to give her a call when you arrived. Please wait one minute.â She handed you your key, and you felt yourself go pale, turning around to Spencer for reassurance.
âOh god, sheâs coming now, what do we do?â
âY/N, calm down, itâs okay, we knew we were going to have to see your mom tonight at the reception anyways.â
âYouâre right. Okay, right. Okay.â You breathed out, as Spencer wrapped his other arm around you, holding you in a closer embrace while keeping your hands locked together.
âOne of my aunts is looking at us. She looks like she wants to say something. Oh god, sheâs coming over, Spencer act natural,â
âSaying act naturally is actually counter-active-â but he didnât have time to finish before you had turned to greet the older woman, disentangling yourself from Spencerâs arms as you hugged the woman warmly.
âItâs so good to see you, Y/N, you know how we all worry about you doing that job of yours. The other week we saw you on the news about that tragedy with the young girlâŠâ she trailed off, giving you a worrying look before quickly shifting her gaze to her actual target, Spencer.
âI think I saw you too, young man. You must be Y/Nâs boyfriend,â she smiled at him, waiting to hear a response so she could return to the other matrons with the gossip.
âYeah, nice to meet you, Iâm Spencer.â You could tell he was thankful that the woman hadnât stuck her hand out to shake his, as he positioned himself mostly behind you, keeping his hands occupied by letting one settle on your hip and the other keeping a hold of your suitcase.
âSpencer? Spencer Reid?â You heard your mother before you saw her, turning around in your place to finally see her, as Spencer whipped his head around as well. âIâve heard so much about you. Itâs so wonderful to finally meet you.â
Your mother had none of the restraint of your aunt, and unfortunately, youâd inherited your clingy side from her, which is why she immediately swooped in to give Spencer a hug. To his credit, he greeted her warmly as well and didnât avoid the touch, but he kept it short and polite nonetheless.
âMom, how did you knowâŠâ
âYou tell me about your coworkers all the time, Iâm just surprised I didnât work it out sooner. I always said that you talked about that Spencer with a fond tone, you should ask your father, heâll tell you that I did.â You rolled your eyes at your motherâs words, doing your best to avoid Spencerâs gaze. Heâd fallen back into place by your side as you greeted your mother.
âItâs so nice to finally meet you, You know, Y/N has been keeping you as this big secret for the last year, and itâs so nice to see that youâre actually real. Youâre here!â She sounded so excited for you that your heart almost broke under the weight of your guilt, knowing that youâd have to come clean at some point after the wedding. As it was, you were already going to have to try really hard to avoid the photographer and videographer throughout the night so you didnât have to be constantly reminded of your idiocy whenever your mother got the photo albums out,
âSorry, the two of you are probably exhausted after that flight, right? Go and get yourself unpacked. The rehearsal dinner is at 8 p.m. so weâll catch up then, sweetheart.â She left in a whirlwind, having deposited you next to the elevators, and left you with no other option but to do exactly as she said, making your way to your space for the weekend.
âXâ
The following few hours had been a little awkward, to say the least. Youâd awkwardly pulled away from one another in the elevator up to the room, apologizing for invading each other's personal space. The room was a decent size, but still small enough that youâd be constantly tripping up over one another the entire weekend if you werenât careful.
Reid carefully unpacked his tuxedo when you got into the room, and then quietly informed you that heâd need a shower. Youâd unpacked your own things while he did, trying not to listen to the water flowing over his body in the next room. His earlier touch had ignited something in you, and your heart was beating at his every gesture now, something that you were sure it hadnât done before.
What was it about weddings that made you so open to even the possibility of romance that even someone so off-limits could become the object of your affection?
So you tried not to listen, not to wonder why it was taking the man so long to just take a shower, not to let your mind wander to a place where it was perfectly acceptable to wonder what he looked like in that shower, and you unpacked and organized your things.
âHey, Y/N, Iâm really sorry but I forgot to bring my clothes with me,â he called awkwardly through the door a few minutes after you heard the water turn off, and you turned to the bathroom, not expecting the sight before you.
Youâd assumed from the quiet volume of his voice that he was calling from within the bathroom itself, but instead, he stood awkwardly in front of you, a towel wrapped around his waist and torso, held together desperately in one hand.
âOh shit, sorry, Iâll just turn around, I guess,â you stumbled over the words, dragging your eyes back up to his face as you did so, whipping yourself around to stare ahead of you.
âNo, no, itâs my fault. I was so hasty I forgot my outfit for tonight. Itâs okay.â You heard him fumble for his clothes and return to the bathroom quickly with another mumbled apology, finally allowing you to let out a deep, almost dreamy sigh, startling yourself. Mentally chastising yourself once again, you finished your organizing and let yourself fall onto the bed in the middle of the room sleepily while you waited for him to come out again.
You must have dozed off a little because you woke with a jolt when you felt a soft touch on your arm. There he was above you, a soft and concerned look on his face as he woke you up as kindly as he could.
âY/N, itâs 7 p.m. We need to get ready for the rehearsal.â He whispered as if he werenât too bothered if you didnât want to go down at all, content to let you sleep. But you forced yourself upright anyways, and nodded at his words, swiftly moving yourself towards the bathroom he had since departed.
âThanks for waking me, Spence,â You rubbed the sleep out of your eyes, gathering your towels and change of clothes before turning back to him. In the four hours youâd apparently been dead to the world, heâd managed to dry his hair, change his clothes, and, from the looks of the book on the bedside table, read through an entire book twice.
He noticed you looking and cleared his throat. âSorry, you looked so tired I didnât want to wake you, so I just sat here and read while you got some sleep.â
âItâs okay, Spence. I guess I was pretty tired. Iâm gonna goâŠâ you gestured towards the shower and stepped towards it with an awkward smile, not letting him answer before you had closed the door between you and taken a deep breath, setting thoughts of him aside for the night before you focused on getting yourself ready to face your lies.
An hour later, you were making your way back down to the lobby, having received a text from your brother that that was where everyone was gathering before making their way to the dining room. Spencer offered you his arm in the elevator on the way down.
âHere, grab my arm.â He said softly down to you, a sweet smile playing on his lips.
âOh yeah that makes sense,â you said distractedly, looping your own through his and leaning into him.
âItâll also stop you from picking your nails,â he joked.
âI donât pick my nails!â
âYou so do. You do it when youâre nervous and when you lie about something. Last month on that case in Chicago when that officer asked for your number, you told him you had a boyfriend and started picking your nails,â he laughed down at you, enjoying your pouting face a bit too much as he profiled you.
âYouâre one to talk. The last time a woman asked you out, you started rambling about the linguistic history of the phrase âgo out,â in the romantic sense. She stood there for five minutes before she gave up.â
âWait, when did that happen? I donât remember any woman trying to ask me out.â
âThen youâre even denser than I realized, Doctor Reid, because they do it constantly.â Your back and forth ended there, though, as the elevator doors finally opened into the lobby. You smoothed out your dress and tried your best to act natural as the two of you made your entrance.
âY/N! Over here,â you heard your brother and saw him wave at you from the other side of the room, his fiancee next to him receiving guests.
âItâs been so long since I saw my kid sister. Get over here,â he smiled at you, beckoning you over, and you released your hold on Reid to give your brother a warm hug.
âNow who is this kid sister youâre talking about because last I checked youâre only 18 months older than me.â
â18 months, 18 years, all that matters is that I am, in fact, the older one,â he released you from the bear hug and glanced up to Reid, standing awkwardly watching the scene waiting for an invitation to the conversation. âHoly shit, youâre real.â
âHey! Be nice. This is Spencer, heâs my⊠heâs my boyfriend, we work together.â You felt your cheeks flame as you introduced the two of them, your brother looking at Spencer through knitted eyebrows, taking on a faux protective stance.
âSpencer, hey. Mom mentioned you were here earlier, but I didnât think youâd be so gangly⊠Itâs my wedding, and Iâve been told I have to keep all threats to a minimum, but if I see you getting all handsy with my sister, just know that I have a blackbelt in jiu-jitsu.â
âNo, you donât. You have a yellow belt in karate at most, and you got that at age 10.â You laughed at the man.
âAnd whose fault is that?â
âOh my god, itâs been almost 20 years, I already apologized!â
âApologised for what?â Spencer finally managed to butt in, watching your sibling bickering as if it were a tennis match.
âThis little rodent,â your brother said, scruffing up your hair as he spoke, âbroke my wrist when she was 8 and I was 10.â
âIt was self-defense! You were trying to use your karate moves on me and I panicked!â
âAnd now, youâre a hot-shot FBI Agent and you get to break bad guys wrists all the time.â He finished for you and you laughed, suddenly glad to be back around family.
âSo, Spencer, youâre an FBI Agent, too? I thought my mom mentioned something about you being a Doctor earlier.â
âI am. A Doctor. And an FBI Agent, uh, theyâre PhDâs not medical degrees, though. Three of them, Math, Chemistry and Engineering. I also have Bachelor's Degrees in Psychology, Philosophy, and Sociology.â He answered, and you looked up at him proudly, taking his hand as you noticed him growing slightly uncomfortable with the attention from your brother.
âWow,â was all your brother said, until he finished the statement with âAll those degrees and my sister was the best you could do, huh?â You punched him in the arm after that, and you felt Spencer physically relax a bit, twinning your fingers with his as you chastised your brother.
âAnyway, thanks for taking the time to come to our, hopefully, lovely wedding, the reception will be starting soon. The dining hall is just through there.â You hugged your brother again, and, with a breath of relief, led Spencer down the hall to the dining hall.
âThat went well, I think?â you whispered to him, conspiratorially.
âYour family is nice,â he replied. âDoes he always act like that, or is it the wedding spirit possessing him somehow?â
âIf youâre referring to my brother, I think heâs probably partaken in a few flutes of champagne already this evening. But yes, heâs always like that. They all like to treat me like a baby when they see me.â
âI think itâs nice. They care about you a lot,â his words were warm, but his eyes were sad, and you remembered what youâd been told of Spencerâs own childhood and felt your heart ache for him. His mom loved him a lot, but Spencer had needed to grow up much too fast. You squeezed his hand, still clasped in yours and before you knew it you were pushing onto your tiptoes to press a kiss to his cheek.
âThank you, Spencer. For being here,â you said as his now flushed face met yours. You didnât let him respond though, simply pushing forward into the dining hall, ready to live in the fantasy of your own making for the evening.
âXâ
âSpencer, you were amazing!â You giggled, walking down the hall to your room, stumbling slightly in your excitement and haste.
âThose magic tricks? The little babies couldnât get enough of you,â you spun around, wrapping your arms around the manâs neck and pulling him in close to you, letting him hold you against the door to your room. He laughed a little at your antics as he pulled out the key card.
âY/N, are you drunk?â he asked, one hand firmly planted on your waist to steady you now.
âNo! Iâm just happy. And if that happiness was caused by an array of cocktails forced into my hands by distant aunts and cousins who all wanted to know about my absolute catch of a boyfriend, then that is simply secondary to the feeling itself. And furthermore-â He pushed the door behind you in on itself, and your words were cut off by your legs giving out beneath you.
You were so sure you were about to take a tumble to the floor that you shut your eyes tight and braced for an impact that didnât come. Opening them again slowly, you saw Spencer closer than before, his face mere inches from your own as he held you in an improvised dip, having caught you just before youâd hit the ground.
âSorry. I⊠Shit, maybe I am drunk,â you breathed out, not letting your eyes drift from his own, knowing that if you ever considered a glance down at his lips at that moment, you wouldnât be able to stop yourself from closing the measly distance separating you.
âYou should use the bathroom first,â he told you, but without making any move of his own, stuck in that pose with you as if he was content to stay there for as long as he could hold you. âYou should take your make-up off. We have a long day tomorrow, right?â
You were the first one to move, letting your feet find a more solid footing beneath you and twisting up from his grip. His hands didnât leave your body as you became more upright though, still keeping you in that close embrace.
âYeah, I should⊠I should go wash up.â You said, and he nodded, still looking at you with the same intensity as before.
âSpencer, that means you need to move,â you whispered quietly, and he jumped back as soon as the words were out of your mouth.
âSorry. Iâll just⊠Iâll just be over there,â he held his hands up in surrender before moving further into the room, leaving you next to the bathroom.
Fifteen minutes later, you emerged from the bathroom and were ready to sleep once again. Thankfully, you of earlier that day had managed to store your pajamas in the bathroom ready for their use. Upon exiting the bathroom, you saw that Spencer was getting ready to sleep too, slacks and a shirt having been replaced by a pair of flannel pants and a very old and beaten-up CalTech sweater, looking perplexedly down at the bed.
âSpence, whatâs wrong?â
âWe didnât speak any further about the sleeping arrangementsâŠâ he mumbled and you looked at the bed in front of you, still confused at his meaning. âY/N, we have to share the bed.â
âOh.â You knew you probably sounded dumb, but after the amount of alcohol thrust upon you that night, that was all you could muster at this point.
âI can sleep on the floor if that makes you feel more comfortable. Itâs probably no worse than some of the motel beds weâve stayed on before,â he offered, but you instantly shook your head.
âNo, I dragged you out here, Iâm not making you sleep on the floor as well,â you sighed and made your way to the side of the bed youâd slept on earlier, beginning to pull the covers down so you could get in.
âWhat are you doing?â Spencer asked, perplexed by your somehow contrasting words and actions.
âIâm getting ready for bed. Itâs late.â You replied, not looking up at him again, for fear that heâd spot the blush on your face. âYou should too,â you continued, patting the other side of the bed, gesturing for him to get in, too.
âOh.â It was his turn to stand there shell-shocked in the moment, and you almost let out a giggle but held back thinking that would be too much for him to take in at that moment.
âCome on, Spence, Iâm tired, Iâm sure youâre tired. Weâre just sharing a bed, itâs not like you have to marry me after this.â You climbed fully into the bed, making sure that your nightgown covered you decently before pulling the covers up around you. Spencer mumbled something that you didnât catch, but he acquiesced and climbed in after you. You turned your head over on the pillow to face him, turning onto your side as you watched him turn his head to you as well.
âWhat?â he smiled, noticing your stare.
âNothing. Good night, Spence,â you smiled, finally letting your eyes drop closed.
âGood night, Y/N.â He whispered, and the sound of his voice carried you off to sleep.
âXâ
You werenât sure if it was the light streaming in through the window or the rise and fall of a chest that wasnât your own was the first thing to wake you in the morning, but nonetheless, you woke from the comfortable warmth of sleep and found yourself wrapped around your fake boyfriend.
To be fair to yourself, he was also wrapped around you. Your head had gravitated from your pillow to his chest, his left arm wrapped up and around your back. Your leg had also risen in the night, pulled up over his waist, held in place by his other arm, which was, almost embarrassingly, cradling your ass, pulling you in closer to his core. Unsure about how to go about disentangling yourself, you resigned yourself to just waking the man up.
âSpencer⊠Spencer,â you whispered, letting the hand that had fallen onto his chest tap him slightly. He stirred a little and then cracked an eye open, looking confused with the situation.
âY/N, is it time for the wedding?â He asked through half-lidded eyes, evidently wanting nothing more than to fall back into whatever dreams he was having. You shifted uncomfortably in his arms then, suddenly growing stiff in the position youâd probably held for hours, and found your nightgown had risen dangerously high on your body, his hand on your near bare ass.
âNo, no, itâs justâŠâ You rolled your hips against his in discomfort, and the movement had his eyes breaking open as he finally took in your positions.
âShit, IâmâŠ.Sorry, I donât know what happened, I mustâve grabbed you when we were sleeping,â he said, reluctantly slipping his hands away from your body, trailing his hand around your leg, and letting it fall onto his stomach. The movement sent a shiver up your spine, as you finally had enough room to lift your torso up, not quite ready to relinquish the proximity of your entire body yet.
âItâs okay, I think it was probably me who started it in the first place. Those pillows werenât that comfortableâŠâ you tried to explain, the hand on his chest rubbing slow circles into his skin before you could realize what you were doing.
He pushed himself up into a sitting position then as well, clumsily. With your legs still wrapped around his waist, you had no choice but to move with him, suddenly finding yourself straddling him, the bedsheets suddenly pressed away from your body. If he looked down, heâd see a lot more than you planned for him to see, your panties on clear display as your nightgown twisted itself up into the sheets.
âShit sorry,â he moaned out again, as you steadied yourself with hands on his shoulders.
âNo, itâs okay, I didnât move quick enough.â You quickly pulled your dress down again, and extracted yourself from the bed, lifting your leg up and off of him and finally pushing off the bed, leaving him sat there.
His hands fell into his lap and you started gathering things around the room, readying yourself for the busy day ahead.
âI have to be in the bridal suite at 11, so we have about⊠two hours to kill before then. Do you want to grab a shower first, or should I?â
âYou first,â he mumbled quickly, before clearing his throat and trying again. âYou should go first. You probably have more to do today, right?â You nodded at his words and made your way to the bathroom again. Out of the corner of your eye though, as you let the door close behind you, you watched his hands come up to cradle his flushed face, as he let his head fall back again into the pillow.
âXâ
The morning was so busy after that, you barely had any chance to talk to Spencer again. You spent the early afternoon in the bridal suite with the wedding party, welcoming your new sister to the family, then made your way to the aisle space set up outside, checking up on last-minute details and helping to flower girls into position. You werenât walking down the aisle yourself, but you could see that the extra help was letting the very stressed-out Maid of Honour get some well-needed respite. And more importantly, it stopped your wandering thoughts from letting you fantasize about Spencer.
Youâd woken up in bed next to people before, of course, but it had never felt so comfortable. In fact, other people youâd slept with said you were pretty distant in your sleep, choosing to move as far away from physical touch as you could get, but you knew with no doubt that you had been the one to move in first, to touch him first. That heâd pulled you even closer had your heart singing, and you wanted to be wrapped up in him all over again, suddenly desperate to seek him out. So you distracted yourself, not wanting to make any mistakes you would regret when you were no longer wrapped up in your own fantasy.
So you kept your distance as the ceremony started. Then the wedding march was playing, and you were holding back tears as his hand slipped into yours, your head falling onto his shoulder as you watched your brother marry the love of his life.
You kept your distance as you reached the reception hall, watching all the old ladies on both sides fawn over him, asking him questions, and watching from his side as he blushed at the attention. You swept the hair out of his eyes as the couple was announced, and you took your seat for the wedding meal and the speeches, his hand falling to your back to guide you to your chair, pulling it out for you like a true gentleman.
You kept your distance as your new sister tossed the bouquet, and despite your low effort and the ravenous looks of the bridesmaids, it fell neatly into your hands as if it belonged there. You ran excitedly over to him to show him and he lifted you into a hug, caught up in your own excitement.
You kept your distance until you realized youâd not kept your distance at all, physically unable to keep yourself away from the man who had somehow stolen your heart in the middle of the night.
âI know that look,â your brother said, somehow sneaking up on you later into the night as you watched Spencer perform even more of his magic tricks for the smaller guests.
âWhat look?â you asked, not for one second letting your eyes drift from Spencer.
âYouâre in love with him,â he said, taking a swig of the drink in his hand.
âHeâs my boyfriend,â you said reflexively, turning to the drinks table behind you and picking up one for yourself.
âNo, he isnât. Or at least he wasnât before this weekend,â your brother said, as your eyes finally snapped up to him.
âOh, donât act all surprised, Miss FBI Profiler. You may be good, but Iâll always be your older brother, and contrary to popular opinion, I do in fact pay attention to things.â You sighed and leaned back against the table.
âHowâd you figure it out?â
âYou were picking your nails the entire way through the reception dinner when the aunties were asking you about your relationship. You did that when we were younger too, when you tried lying to Mom and Dad about how I broke my wrist. Doesnât take two PhDâs to figure that out.â
âThree.â
âThree what?â
âThree PhDs. He has three of them.â You sighed dreamily and ran a stressed hand through your head.
âHeâs just my coworker. I didnât want to disappoint Mom by coming alone after telling her all those stories, but nowâŠâ You tried to explain yourself but words were escaping you in that moment.
âYou should tell him, trust me. He definitely feels the same.â
âHow are you so confident about that? How did you manage to end up with all of the confidence between the two of us, when I can barely work up the courage to tell my own mother Iâm still single?â
âY/N, look at me. You got the brains, I had to have something. And no man flies to the opposite side of the country on a few day's notice for a girl who is just a friend, okay? Thatâs more logic than confidence, and thatâs supposed to be your strong suit.â
You considered his words for a second, turning back to look at Spencer. Evidently, heâd finished his magic show and was beginning to say goodbye to the children, but he felt your eyes on him somehow and met your gaze. He brought his hand up into a shy wave before a little girl grabbed his attention again, and he looked at her seriously, nodding along to each word she was saying.
âFuck, what do I do, Iâm not good with⊠any of this.â You turned back to your brother, but heâd left you there, stranded in your own thoughts as you let yourself hope, let your brain dream that one day this would be your wedding and the man by your side would be Spencer Reid.
âLadies and gentlemen, the bride and groom request the presence of all the couples on the dancefloor for this next song.â You saw your brother again, next to his wife, whispering his explanations in his ear as she turned to look at you and winked as well. God, they were going to be a force to be reckoned with together now, you thought, as people started pushing past you to make their way to the dancefloor.
You recognized the song of course, and it was almost so on the nose you almost rolled your eyes. More Than Words by Extreme. Perfect.
âY/N, may I have this dance?â He had somehow snuck up on you from behind as you watched your brother, and held his hand out to you. You put your drink down and took it, letting him lead you to the dance floor.
âI didnât think you danced, Dr. Reid,â you teased him as he pulled you in, letting his hands rest on your waist, as yours came up around his neck, gently letting him sway you side to side in time with the music.
âI donât really, but it seemed wrong not to,â he smiled. âIâm at a wedding, with the most beautiful girl on my arm, and the couple made it very clear that we should be dancing, so here I am.â You blushed at his words as he spoke. He removed his hands from your waist, instead grasping one of yours in his own as he pulled you closer.
You stared up at him with a soft smile for a few more seconds before letting your head fall back to his chest.
âI know Iâve said it a lot this weekend, but thank you, Spencer.â You said into his shirt, letting him hold you close as the song went on.
âYou donât have to thank me, Y/N.â He insisted, and you looked up at him again. âActually⊠I didnât exactly agree to this with the best of intentions.â
Your heart lept to your throat as you stared up at him, hoping that he would take your silence as a means to continue.
âIâve been⊠I thought that maybeâŠâ he struggled to get the words out, his face aflame with the effort.
âYou promised me those coffees right?â He finally stuttered out, and you were left confused and a little disappointed.
âYeah, Spence, itâs okay, Iâll get you those coffees for the month, just like we promised.â You couldnât help the sad smile that played on your lips as you answered him, so sure that he was about to say something else.
âNo, I mean⊠Y/N I donât want the coffee. I want this. I want us to go home, and make everything that you made up come true. I want to take you on a date to that coffee shop. I want to be a boyfriend you can call and tell your mom about because itâs serious and itâs going to work out between us. I even⊠God, I even spent the morning looking up book fairs in New York City so I could make that come true as well,â he rambled the words out and you could feel the tears forming in your eyes.
âSpencer,â you said softly, trying to get him to focus on you, but heâd started speaking and he wasnât going to be stopped so easily.
âAnd if any of that creeps you out, just say the word and Iâll never mention it again. Because I know Iâm not good with this, and when I feel something, I tend to feel it overwhelmingly, and Derek tells me I can be really oblivious sometimes, which I donât really get, but-â
âSpencer,â you put a bit more force into your words this time, punctuating them with a hand on his face.
âSpencer, kiss me.â And he does. He takes your head in both of his hands, and he draws you up to him perfectly, letting your hands fall to the lapels of his suit jacket as he steals your breath away one more time. The kiss is lingering, but short, and he hesitantly backs away, looking around to spot witnesses. But you donât care and you pull him back down for another, and another, until youâre just two lovers on the dance floor that cannot get enough of each other, gasping for breath between chaste kisses as you let him hold you there, gently swaying.
âSpencer,â you whisper finally, forehead resting on his, as the song finally draws to a close.
âYes?â
âSpencer, take me to bed.â You tell him, and he nods. He leads you over to the bride and groom where you offer each of them a hug and a happy future before making your excuses and running away with Spencer back into the hotel like two love-drunk teenagers, a mess of giggles and stolen kisses as you stumble up to your room for the second time that weekend.
But this time, you donât hesitate, donât pull away. He backs you into the door and you let him hold you there, his mouth on yours, your tongues entwined as he fumbles for his key card. You fall together into the room, laughing and smiling the entire way, not letting him escape your touch.
âMay I?â He asks, playing with the zipper of your dress as you kiss his cheek, his jaw, his neck, anywhere you can reach, nodding and moaning your consent. The moment the zip is pulled down, he lets you go for a second, and the dress falls straight to the floor. You're practically bare in front of him, chest exposed, neck littered with the beginning of love bites that heâs about to absolutely build upon.
âYouâre beautiful.â He says, softly, wrapping his arms around you again, lifting you up so your legs can wrap around him as he delivers one more soul-crushing kiss to your lips. Your brain is a mess of emotions, your only solid thought is that you will never let him go again. You both eagerly worked on unbuttoning his shirt together, a desperate mess of breaths as he finally laid you on the bed. His hand fell to your core, tracing a finger over your sensitive nub as you begged him for more, needing to feel all of him, to devour his very existence.
He pulled himself out of his remaining clothes, lips still attached to yours, climbing over you and holding you tenderly, his arms wrapping around your body as his legs came to settle between your own. Dropping his forehead to yours, he finally spoke again, his hand dropping between the two of you to line himself up.
âIs this⊠are you sure?â You heard the restraint in his voice, the desperation, the love, the overwhelming lust as he held himself back, needing to hear your consent.
âSpencer, I love you,â you whispered, and he finally pushed himself into you, joining the two of you together in a moment of bliss. You shared another sweet kiss, letting him swallow each and every one of your moans as he began thrusting into you, your hips rising to meet him in your delirious pleasure.
He whispered sweet nothings in your ears, brushing the hair off your face every now and again to tell you how beautiful you looked, and how well you were doing.
âYouâre so perfect, Y/N, youâre doing so good for me,â he pressed kisses against your neck with each word, keeping his pace steady as you chased your inevitable high, already clenching around his thick cock.
âSpencer, I love you,â you let the words drop from your tongue like a prayer, repeating them over and over with each thrust as small tears welled up out of your eyes. He kissed them away from your cheeks, listening to each confession as your stomach tightened and your climax spilled over you. He grabbed your waist then, leaving one hand cupping and stroking your cheek as his own thrusts grew sloppy, finally spending himself fully inside you.
âI love you, too,â he whispered into you then, unwilling to let you go for even one second. You spent the rest of the night whispering the words back and forth to one another, waiting with bated breath for the fantasy to break, for the magic of the wedding to wear off.
Being spencerâs girlfriend and meeting the team for the first time? I think it would be cute!!!! đ«¶đ»
it WOULD be super cute! thank you so much! i got huge sibling vibes from the team while writing this so hope thatâs okay too!
the tray holding yours and your boyfriends coffee wobbles slightly in your hand as the elevator doors ping open, giving you full view of the bau offices, your eyes widening when you realise just how big it was
caught up with staring you almost forget to actually step out of the elevator, the doors sliding shut just as you manage to pass through them, somehow keeping hold of the coffee's as you do
suddenly it dawns on you that you don't really know where to find spencer. big glass doors separate you from the offices and people whizz up and down the hallway behind you, none of them paying the slightest bit of attention to you
you use your shoulder to push the doors open just enough to squeeze through and when you turn you realise the office is mostly empty, a few people sat at desks but luckily, spencer is there too, stood by what you assume is his desk, looking down at a chess board
"hi," you greet him quietly as you walk up to him, your voice muffled by your, his, scarf that's snug around your neck, "spence," you say slightly louder when he doesn't acknowledge you
he turns, looking thoroughly confused, his features softening when he notices you just feet away from him, "hey honey, what are you doing here?" he asks, rushing to take the small tray of coffee out of your hands before you drop it
pulling at the scarf you start unraveling it from around your front, "well you forgot your lunch, so i was going to bring it but then i also forgot it," you explain, cheeks reddening, "so instead i got pastries and coffee" you finish, waving a paper bag in his direction with a smile
spencer chuckles at you, "thank you," he wraps an arm around you, pulling you in, his lips pressing against your forehead, "is it snowing outside?" he asks, pulling away, his eyes darting to the window and then back at you
"how'd you know?" you question, head titling slightly
gentle fingers push your baby hairs back, "you have snow in your hair sweetheart," he says softly, his fingers dropping to wrap around your wrist, pulling you into the small space by his desk, "here, sit" he reaches over to grab an empty wheelie chair from the desk next to his
with a soft sigh you fall back into the seat, it rolls back slightly, the back hitting the edge of the desk, "where is everyone?" you ask, watching your boyfriend sit directly in front of you, your knees bumping his
"uh," he looks around while you pull pastries from the bag, "they must all be on lunch" he comes to a conclusion with a slight shrug, "it's never usually this quiet"
you slide the bag over to him and pull your knees up to your chest before balancing your croissant on your knee while you turn to grab your coffee, making sure you have the one with less sugar in it
slowly your chair starts to spin, spencer's eyes widening slightly as it does. he shuffles closer, extending his legs either side of you, holding you in place, "where did you get these?" he asks, eyeing up his apricot danish which already has a bite missing
"the market," you answer with a nod, "we have to go there this week, please," you smile softly, knowing full well he would never dream of saying no to you
spencer's eyes flicker up, behind you and then back to you, "of course, honey" he says as other voices start to fill the office space, "they're back"
your eyes widen at him, not daring to look over your shoulder at the people. somehow you sink further into your chair, the huge scarf falling around you like a blanket. meeting the bau was inevitable but not right now, not while you have flakes of pastry over your leggings and snow soaking your hair
"hey guys," spencer smiles slightly as people start to wander over. in your head you start naming them, emily and jj come over first, david and aaron on their tails and behind them, penelope with derek's arm thrown around her shoulder
"hey kid, you didn't tell us you were expecting company," david says, standing behind your boyfriend, hands on his shoulders while the older man smiles at you
"well actual-"
"aren't you going to introduce us to your friend?" derek says, teasing, like a sibling would. spencer scowls at him, though there's no heat behind it, causing you to giggle into your coffee
you can tell spencer contemplates just saying no but eventually he sighs, "honey, this is the bau," he gestures at his colleagues and you stifle a laugh, "guys, this is my girlfrien-"
"girlfriend?!" penelope shrieks, cutting spencer off. she shakes derek off of her to move closer, "oh my, you're gorgeous! how long? why didn't i know?" she finishes, whacking spencer on the shoulder
aaron and david pat your boyfriend on the back, like fathers would before brushing past, sending you gentle smiles as they do, retreating back to their offices.
the girls, plus morgan, pull up their own chairs, forming a sort of semi circle in front of you. "so, spill," emily says, gesturing between you and spencer
"what do you want to know," spencer replies, ripping an iced bun in half. he offers you the bigger bit, smiling to himself when you ooh excitedly.
jj sighs, exasperated but still light hearted, "how you met, how long you've been together, everything spence, c'mon"
"we met at a farmers market, he accidentally ran into me, spilt hot," you shoot a look at your boyfriend who stares at his lap with a slight smile, "chocolate down me but then he bought me flowers to say sorry and i was a goner from there," you explain
penelope opens her mouth but spencer beats her to it, "sunflowers"
"that was," you trail off, thinking, "just over a year ago now" you know spencer too well, already looking at him, eyebrow raised, "go on"
"four hundred and two days and counting" he says with a grin, leaning over slightly to brush crumbs off of your scarf
derek holds his hands up, "hold on, you've had a girlfriend for over a year and never thought to mention it" he says, the others nodding in agreement
"aaron and david knew," you slide into the conversation, throwing spencer under the bus, he looks at you like a deer caught in headlights.
âwhy would you say that?â spencer asks you desperately, you shrug and sit back, watching as jj, emily and morgan burst into chatter, offended that they weren't told while penelope silently scoots over to you
"is that the scarf i made him?" she asks and you nod, knowing it was her christmas gift to him last year, "ohmygod, i'm going to make you a matching one, don't argue, you won't win!" she says all smiley
"when were you going to tell us? at your wedding?"
"no! it jus-"
"boy, do not say it just didn't come up, do not make me smack you in front of your girlfriend"
jj stands, rolling her eyes at the boys arguing while emily jumps in every now and then, fuelling the fire, "great to meet you, we will arrange a girls night soon"
"oh yes, of course! lovely to meet you, finally" you laugh before she wanders away from the scene still unfolding, "are they always like this?" you ask penelope, offering her the bag of goodies
"oh you're my new favourite person," she hums, taking a donut from the bag, "and yes, they're always like this, welcome to the chaos, enjoy your stay"
leaning back in your seat to fully observe, you scoff, "oh i will"

âSo, Iâve been reading Poeâs works,â you begin, your headphones around your neck and you pull out âThe Complete Poetry of Edgar Allan Poeâ, flipping to âAnnabel Leeâ.Â
Spencer watches as you flick to the page, his heart soaring at the sight of the annotations that litter the page. There are different colours and highlighters across the words and from what he could tell pink talked about language and that was the colour that stood out to him most. You bring the book closer so that he can read your annotations too and his heart stutters in his chest at the close proximity. He can smell the strawberry and honey shampoo in your hair and the heat rises up to his cheeks. Itâs intoxicating.Â
âI really donât think the narrator is a crazy psychopath,â you say, glancing at him. âIt just sounds like heâs really, seriously in love with her which just makes a bunch of people jealous.â
He watches the way you point to a certain line, âBut we loved with a love that was more than loveâ I and my Annabel Lee.âÂ
âDoes that not sound like something you would say when youâre in love?â You ask, swooning a little. âItâs romantic, donât you think? And their love is so brilliant and pure that the angels stole her away from him. I mean, itâs sad, but itâs kind of a picture of how amazing their love is.â
He nods along, his cheeks flushed because thatâs what he thinks when he thinks of you. But heâll never tell you that. How could he even dream of you feeling the same? The idea in itself is just so bizarre that he doesnât even dare to entertain the thought. Not even when itâs late at night and heâs by himself, thinking through every single interaction youâve had with him since he finally talked to you two months ago.Â
âAnd I mean, think about it,â you continue, gesticulating with every word, eyes wide with excitement. âThe last stanza. Heâs still in love with her even after sheâs passed away. How romantic is that?â
âVery romantic,â Spencer agrees, and he wonders if thatâs how he looks when he rambles. âAlright, itâs definitely a love poem.â
He relishes in the way your eyes light up at his acceptance, the way you grin up at him and he wants to make you smile this way every day. His eyes wander to your lips and he swallows thickly. Youâre wearing that lipgloss again, a cool berry tone that makes your lips shine andâ
âSpencer? Are you okay?âÂ
He all but jolts out of his trance and he coughs awkwardly, his cheeks flushed. âYes!â He squeaks, before clearing his throat and repeating the word. âYes. Yes, Iâm okay.â
He watches as an amused smile quirks at your lips as you ask, âare you sure?â
âIâm sure,â he manages to croak, his ears red.Â
He canât even look at you. His eyes turn back to the book youâre holding, reading through the annotations youâve made on the page for the nth time over. This is an example of one of the instances he doesnât want to remember and prays that his stop would miraculously be next.Â
âIâve been reading The Tell-Tale Heart,â you say, bringing him out of his thoughts.
Spencer forces himself to maintain eye contact with you and he manages a small, âreally?â
You laugh and nod. âYep! Itâs really good. Kinda creepy.â
âIt is a little creepy,â he admits, his gaze flicking to your lips again. Heâs kicking himself internally, asking, âwhoâs the creepy one now, weirdo?!â
He figures that youâre either incredibly gracious or incredibly used to it because you donât mention the way his attention wavers.Â
âYou donât seem okay.â
Or so he thought.
âWhatâ umâ what makes you say that?â He asks, clearing his throat.
You shoot him a smile. âYouâre not going on about the text like you usually do.â
He opens his mouth and then shuts it again, his brain short circuiting. He can imagine Derek snickering and Emily commenting her usual, âIQ of 187, slashed to 60â.Â
âSpencer?â You look amused, a smile on his face and a mischievous glimmer in your eye. âAre youââ
âIâ never mind,â you shake your head, continuing to laugh. âBut I do want to hear your thoughts on âThe Tell-Tale Heartâ at some point.â
âTotally!â He jolts, and heâs kicking himself internally for being so eager. âYes. Tomorrow?â
âTomorrow.â
The train lurches to a stop and Spencer gets up from his seat.Â
âBye, Spencer,â you say, smiling brilliantly at him, and it takes every ounce of self control in him to not just grab your face and kiss you.
âBye,â he says, saying your name, before getting off the train.
***Â
Spencer has been acting weird. That is the conclusion Derek has come to as he watches the youngest member of their team enter the bullpen with the widest grin on the planet for the fourth time that week. He watches as Spencer sits down at his desk, looking like a literal teenager, and gets down to work. He has his earphones plugged in, the kind you would get at a dollar store, or the complementary ones you get from airports that never fit your ears right and leave you with headaches because of the horrible audio quality. Derek supposes heâs just listening to Beethoven or Bach or another dead classical musician. But as he passes Spencerâs desk, he hears something that makes him stop in his tracks. Spencer is humming. No, not just humming. Heâs muttering lyrics under his breath. Since when did classical music have lyrics?
âWhat the hellâŠ?â Derek asks under his breath to no one in particular.Â
âYou talking about Reid?â Emily asks, an amused grin on her face. âHeâs acting weird.â
âThank God, I thought I was the only one.â JJ seemingly appears out of nowhere, standing beside them with her arms crossed and a sly smile tugging at her lips.Â
Rossi enters the bullpen, nodding towards Spencer who was sitting at his desk, blissfully unaware. âWe talking about the kid?â
âHeâs been acting weird all week,â Derek insists, his brows furrowing. âWhat do you think it is?â
âMaybe he won a chess tournament,â JJ says with a soft laugh.Â
Emily rolls her eyes at the idea. âPlease, Reidâs probably the winner of every single chess tournament in the state.â
âMaybe his mother is doing better?â Rossi suggests.
âDoesnât explain why heâs listening to, I donât know, not Mozart,â Derek points out.
Thereâs a silence that pulls over the group as they stare at the back of Reidâs head. It isnât long before he turns around to face his coworkers, raising an eyebrow.
â⊠Why are you staring at me?â Spencer asks, giving them all pointed looks.Â
âYouâre acting weird,â Morgan says, cutting straight to the chase. âCare to share with the class?â
Spencer offers them all confused looks. âIâm⊠not acting weird? If anything, you guys are the ones acting weird.â
âOhh, no, donât turn this around on us.â Emily grins, walking over to him. âWhatâs going on?â
âWhatâ guys, what happened to âno profiling each otherâ?â Spencer spluttered, shooting accusatory looks towards his coworkers.
âWeâre just worried, thatâs all,â JJ says with maternal sympathy, but Spencer can tell that sheâs hiding a smile.Â
He groans, rubbing his eyes with his fingers. âIâm fine guys. Iâm not acting âweirdâ or anything.â
âWho are you listening to, Reid?â Rossi asks quickly, nodding towards the ear phones.Â
âWhat?â Spencerâs head snaps up, redness crawling up to his ears.Â
Emily smirks. âYeah Reid. Who are you listening to?â
âNo one,â he answers, avoiding their gaze. âIâm uhâ Iâm going back to work.â
He quickly turns his chair around, busting himself with his files. His co-workers all exchange glances, mischievous grins on their faces.Â
âYou know, I could just ask Garcia to dig into your phone,â Derek says with a shrug. âOr you could tell us yourself.â
Spencer shoots him a light hearted glare. âYou wouldnât.â
âYou donât know that.â
âYou wouldnât.â
***
Spencer thinks heâs going to die of mortification. He spent that entire week downloading all of the released songs by Taylor Swift, dutifully listening to each song and reporting back to you on his opinions. He has since come to a conclusion: Taylor Swift is a lyrical genius. Granted, he doesnât have much experience with other branches of music that involves lyrics, but he figures itâs pretty similar to poetry. Regardless, heâs one hundred percent sure that heâs in for a world of teasing and tasteful jabs towards his sudden shift in music taste.
Heâs also been doing this thing called texting, and he even went as far as getting a new phone and email address just so that he could properly contact you. Heâs been in contact with you for the past eight weeks, going as far as messaging and calling you during break times and hiding in the bathroom to have an ounce of privacy. He feels like a changed person, all because of a tiny handheld device that fits in his back pocket. And you. Mostly you. The worst thing about this entire situation is the fact that Morgan did in fact manage to convince Garcia to snoop into his phone.Â
âAlright, Reid, quit hiding. Whoâs the girl?â Derek demands, slapping a piece of paper onto Spencerâs desk. Itâs a log of calls and downloads. In other words, itâs a log of all the times heâs called the same number and all the Taylor Swift songs heâs downloaded.Â
âGirl? Whatâ what girl?â Spencer asks, playing dumb and willing himself to look Derek in the eye. His mind is spinning. âBlink evenly. Maintain eye contact. Donât stutter. Answer his questions evenly. Play dumb. There is no girl, there is no girl there is noââ
âReid? Reid? Spencer!â Derek snaps his fingers in front of his face, jolting him out of his trance.
âHuh?â Spencer jolts, snapping out of his trance. âWhat?â
Derek snorts at his reaction. âLook, kid. This person calls your cell every day at 12:30, which just so happens to be in two minutes. So, either you tell me and I let you have your fun, or she calls you and sheâll be hearing my voice instead of yours.â
Spencer scoffs, holding his phone firmly in the palm of his hand. âThere is no girl, Morgan.â
âRight.âÂ
âIâm serious!â Spencer says, his voice going up and octave and he cringes internally. Smooth. âThere is no girl.â
âTotally believe you.â
He groans, wiping a hand over his face to calm himself down. Before he could respond, the phone in his hand begins to ring. A smirk tugs at Derekâs lips and he immediately lunges for the phone, eliciting a yelp from Spencer who leaps from his seat.Â
âMorganâ Morgan noââ
âCâmon kid, itâll be a lot easier if you just give in!â
âNo! Nope, nope, Morgan I swear to-â
In seconds, Derek snatches Spencerâs phone out of his hand, a triumphant look on his face. He keeps Spencer at armâs length as he picks up the phone.
âHey Spence!â A voice rings through the phone.
âSorry, sweetheart, not Spencer,â Derek responds, his voice smug.
â⊠thatâs concerning,â The voice responds slowly, cautiously. âWho is this?â
Spencer grabs the phone out of Derekâs hand, running out of the bullpen as quickly as his long legs could carry him, flipping his coworker the finger before he leaves.Â
âHello?â He asks into the phone. âIâm so sorry, that was Derek, my co-worker.â
âOh, the bald one!â You say quickly, recalling his name from the photos Spencer had shown you beforehand. âI thought it was like⊠a bad guy or something.â
He laughs softly into the phone, his cheeks warm and wearing a smile that could split his face in two. âDonât worry, heâs not a bad guy. A pain in the ass, maybe, but not a bad guy.â
He hears you chuckle from the other side of the line. âYeah, he seems like a nice person. Your entire team sounds really cool.â
âMaybe you could meet them at some point,â Spencer says quietly, his heart thundering in his chest. âI mean, they kind of already know you exist.â
âThat would be fun,â You muse, and he hears the soft ruffling of cling wrap in the background.
âLunch?âÂ
He hears you hum in response, and he canât help but chuckle. Thereâs a silence for a few seconds, and he assumes you were eating, before your voice picks up again.
âIâd love to meet your team at some point, Spence. They seem like really amazing people.âÂ
He canât help but smile, running his fingers through his hair. âYeah. They are. Youâd love them, and Iâm sure theyâd love you just as much.â
Before long, lunch break is over and Spencer begrudgingly hangs up and returns to the bullpen, his team all wearing frustratingly smug faces. He rolls his eyes, not paying them any kind as he returns to his desk. He ignores the very blatant whistle Derek does in his direction and the snort Emily fails to hide.
âSoâŠâ JJ begins, dragging her words out. âYouâve got a girlfriend?â
Spencer chokes on air and bites his tongue, grimacing at the taste of blood. âI do not have a girlfriend.â Itâs not a lie.
âBut you want her to be,â Emily says, smirking.Â
âNo! Yes. I donât know, maybe?â Spencer feels like a teenage boy being lectured by his parents. Not that he knows what that feels like.
âAlright, well, have you asked her on a date?â Derek asks as he raises an eyebrow.
Spencer coughs, reaching for his mug of stale coffee. Thatâs all he needs to do to answer Derekâs question, because in moments Derek is screaming in his ear.Â
âWhy havenât you asked her out yet?!â
âWe talk loads of times,â Spencer insists, hiding behind his disgustingly old coffee. âWe just never⊠weâre just friends.â
Rossi bites back a chuckle. âYes, because friends call each other every day during their lunch breaks.â
Spencer feels his face grow impossibly hotter and he chugs the last of his coffee. He cringes before turning his attention back to his files in an attempt to calm himself down. It doesnât work.
âHow did you meet her?â JJ asks, gentler this time.Â
Spencer flushes and plays with his watch. âOn the train.â
âThatâs very you,â she laughs, ruffling his hair. âShe seems really nice, Spencer.â
He preens at the compliment, his mind drifting to your pretty hair and glossy lips. He sports a grin and he nods. âSheâs really, really nice.â
***Â
Spencer sits next to you on the train as usual. His cheeks are flushed and his hair is combed to be a little neater, only for his efforts to be destroyed when a strong gust of wind hits his face the moment he left his apartment. He reminds himself to put a comb into his bag after work. Youâre talking about another one of Poeâs works, this time âThe Ravenâ, another love poem. Your eyes are bright with excitement as you go on and on about the writing style and whatever else.Â
Spencer is far from religious but your existence alone is enough to have him thanking the heavenâs that he is alive. He canât help but smile every time you do, his gaze perpetually on your lips. He feels a little guilty about it, about how he canât even control himself when heâs around you but youâre just so beautiful that he canât help himself. He feels even guiltier when he realises he hasnât processed a word youâve said.Â
â... and thatâs why I think Edgar Allen Poe is really just a huge softie who wants to be loved,â you finish, snapping the book closed. âWhat do you think, Doctor Genius?â
âTotally,â Spencer agrees quickly, almost biting his tongue. âAbsolutely.â
You laugh and Spencer thinks heâs going to faint.Â
âWhere are you up to in your Taylor Swift project?â You ask teasingly, nudging his arm. If it were anyone else, Spencer would have grimaced and shrugged them off but you arenât just âanyoneâ. Youâre the most amazing person in the world.Â
âIâm up to 1989 track 9, Wildest Dreams,â Spencer recites, pulling out his notebook from his inner jacket pocket. Itâs a small leatherbound notebook that heâs been writing all his thoughts in regards to the Taylor Swift songs, all in chronological order. Heâs actually quite proud of it as he flicks to the latest page. âI really like this one. I did some research and I found out that the bass sound in the background is actually her heartbeat. Thatâs pretty interesting.â
You almost scream in excitement, leaning closer to him to read his notes. âI love this song! Itâs my favourite Taylor Swift song ever and itâs just so pretty, you know?â
He nods in agreement, his cheeks flushed at the close proximity and he finds that he can no longer feel his tongue. He should get that checked out.Â
âIt reminds me of you sometimes,â you say, completely unabashed. Spencer thinks youâre trying to kill him.Â
âWhat?â He asks meekly, recalling every lyric from the song.Â
You freeze, flustered and you pull away from him. Spencer frowns at the sudden space but he watches as you stammer and stumble over your words.
âI just meantâ you know, itâs a good song! Thatâs all.â You laugh anxiously, fiddling with the book in your hand. âNever mind, just ignore me. Tell me more about what you like about the song.â
In an almost uncharacteristic bout of confidence, Spencer reaches out to take your hand in his. At first, he thought his head was going to explode. It felt heavy and light all at the same time and he was almost about to pull his hand away when you squeezed his fingers. Just like that, all doubts are gone. Youâre smiling at him and Spencer knows that he would do absolutely anything to make sure to keep it there.Â
When the train lurches to a stop at Quantico, Spencer doesnât make any effort to move. Heâs grinning ear-to-ear, intertwining your fingers with his.Â
âIsnât this your stop?â You ask gently, loosening your hold on his hand.Â
He shrugs, holding onto your hand tighter. âIâm always early. I can be late for once.â
Besides, he thinks to himself, inching closer to you, this is so worth it.
Pride bubbles in his heart when he hears you laugh again and his smile grows impossibly wider.Â
âWeâre almost at my stop,â you say, rubbing your thumb against the back of his hand. âWe should go out. You know, instead of just meeting on the train.â
Spencer nods immediately at the suggestion. âIâd like that. Are you free on Saturday?â
âIâm definitely free on Saturday,â you respond, squeezing his hand again.Â
Spencer sits there with you until you make it to your stop. The corners of his eyes are crinkled and he feels happy, so goddamn happy, and he wonders how heâs lived without you. Before you get off the train, he calls your name. He relishes in the way you turn around, the confusion palpable in your eyes.Â
âYeah?â
He takes a step closer to you, his face in front of yours. His heartbeat is in his ears but at the same time he feels an incredibly ironic sense of calm. In seconds, he presses his lips to yours in a short kiss. He grins at you as you stumble out of the train dazed, waving goodbye. From the window he could see you press your cold hands to your cheeks before reaching for your phone.Â
The smile that grows on his face when he sees your face light up his phone is embarrassing. Itâs goofy and silly and he is so grateful that the carriage is empty.Â
âHello?âÂ
âYou cannotââ your voice comes through the speaker and he grins againâ âyou cannot just kiss me randomly and then leave.â
âTechnically the train left, not me,â Spencer says with a small laugh.
Youâre quiet on the other end before replying, âWe need a re-do on Saturday.â

Part 2
After four whole days, Saturday finally rolls around, and to say Spencer is nervous would be an understatement. He spent approximately sixty-seven hours, forty-two minutes, and twenty seconds attempting to come up with somewhere to take you, and he thinks he finally has a rather sound proof plan.
As he stands outside of your apartment, he goes over his plan once more in his head just as you open the door.
âSpence! Hey!â You greet him with a contagious smile before taking his hand to lead him inside. You look him up and down once before grinning puckishly at him, âSomeone looks handsome.â
His face flushes red as he stutters out, âTh-Thanks.â
âI just have to grab my purse.â You smile kindly before skipping off towards your bedroom.
âOkay.â He nods, taking a moment to admire your decor. The first thing he notices is the scent of pumpkin spice hanging in the air, presumably from the recently extinguished candle sitting on your coffee table. The space is cluttered in a cosy, lived-in sort of way, with a fair amount of pillows settled on the couch and at least three different throw blankets stacked hanging over the back of an armchair. Itâs very you, he thinks.
âSorry for taking so long. Took me a second to find it.â You titter, and itâs now that he notices your outfit. Youâre wearing a little black dress â something between formal and casual â that hugs your waist before tapering out at your hips to flow and fall to mid thigh. The sleeves are long and flowy, and the neckline shows off a fair bit of your chest â a detail he lingers on a little too long before hastily forcing his attention elsewhere.
When you look down at the ground and start fidgeting, he realises he hasnât said anything, âYouâ you look gorgeous.âÂ
âThank you.â You smile shyly before taking his hand and tugging him out the door, âNow, câmon! I want to know what youâve got planned for us this evening.â
He follows you into the elevator down to the underground before taking the lead, opening the passenger side door to his car for you before climbing in on the other side.
âSo,â You start as he shifts the car into gear and pulls out of his parking spot, âWhere are we headed?â
âI thought we could go to that Italian place you liked the last time we went out with the team?â He suggests as he pulls out onto the street.Â
âSounds good to me.â You reply, pulling at your dress as it rides up a little too high for your liking.
Spencer certainly isnât complaining though. Heâs got a great view of your thighs from here. When he dares to take his eyes off the road to glance at you out of the corner of his eye, of course.
The drive to the restaurant isnât a long one and thereâs an easy flow of idle chatter as he finds a parking spot before leading you inside.
The place is on the smaller side, a family owned business thatâs been there since before either of you were born. The owner recognizes the two of you and smiles kindly as she shows you to a table.
As you skim the menu, youâre rambling about a TV show youâre currently obsessing over but, as hard as he tries, only half of him is listening. The other half is fantasising about ripping that dress off your body and ravishing you the way you deserve.Â
He shakes his head. Jesus, whereâd that come from? Heâs got to get a hold of himself.
âI donât know if youâd really be interested in it, but maybeâ,â You stop talking and when he realises heâs been staring at your chest, he knows heâs been caught. He goes bright red when you smirk, âSee something you like, pretty boy?â
Fucking hell, youâre going to be the death of him. He swallows hard and smiles nervously, âYeah, I do.â
Your gaze slides down his neck and seems to land on the sliver of his collar bone thatâs visible beneath the sweater vest heâs wearing, and you look like youâre just about ready to pounce on him. Under the table, you use your foot to nudge at his ankle before reaching for his hand and raising it to kiss his knuckles, maintaining eye contact as you do. For such a sweet gesture, it feels intimate with the way youâre gazing at him through your lashes, your lips warm against his skin in a way that makes him shift a little in his seat. When you pull away, you donât let go of his hand, instead letting them settle between you as you scrunch your nose playfully and stage whisper, âMe too.â
He fucking giggles.
Itâs that flustered, I-cannot-believe-this-person-thinks-Iâm-attractive kind of giggle. When someoneâs just hit on you and you just canât help but laugh a little to calm your racing heart.
You grin at the sound and he clears his throat, cheeks a bright crimson, âThâThanks yâ Thank you.â
He sighs with a simper, a little more than embarrassed as he hides his face in his free hand. You laugh and gently take his wrist to pull his hand away. When he dares to look back up at you, your eyes are filled with such fondness that it makes him want to scream.
âDonât hide from me.â You coo, brushing your thumb over his wrist, âYouâre cute when youâre flustered.â
He doesnât know what to say, so he thanks you again.
ââCourse.â You smile just as the waiter returns with your drinks.
You both order and chat while you wait. He starts rambling on about a classic film he went to see once, one that was in russian and was nearly four hours long. He gets halfway through explaining the plot when he realises this is usually where someone else would cut him off, so instead, he does it himself. You notice the abrupt silence and swallow a bite of your food before cocking your head to the side, âWhyâd you stop?â
âOh, well,â No oneâs ever asked him that before. They normally ask him to stop. Not why he stopped, âI didnât want to bore you.â
âYou werenât. I enjoy listening to you.â You say casually, waiting for him to continue.
It takes him a moment to register that youâre being genuine, but once he does, he beams as he continues his explanation. You listen with rapt attention. You even ask him questions! He finds himself smiling so much his cheeks start to hurt.
When heâs finished, he asks you about the show youâd been talking about earlier and you grin, speaking excitedly and animatedly about the plot and characters. Youâre careful not to spoil anything, just in case he decides to watch it â which he decided he would the moment he saw how you lit up when he mentioned it.
By the time the two of you are finished with dinner, the sun has set and the time is nearing seven thirty. Nearly an hour and a half has passed and he hadnât even noticed. Heâs quick to offer to pay the bill when it comes, which starts a very small back and forth between the two of you when you also insist on paying. Eventually, you compromise and decide to split it.
He opens the door for you before walking out behind you. The air has chilled, and when a breeze blows by, you shiver.Â
He quickly shrugs off his coat and holds it out to you, âHere.â
âOh, you donât have to.â He shakes his head and smiles kindly at you.
âI want to.â
You smile back and utter a soft, âThank you.
He holds it open and lets you slip your arms into it, watching the way you wrap it securely around yourself and practically burrow into it fondly. Before you start walking, he offers his arm to you, âShall we?â
Giggling, you slip your arm through his, âWe shall.â
You squeeze at his bicep affectionately as you walk and he places his free hand on the back of yours.Â
When you get to his car, he opens the door for you again before climbing in himself. On the drive to your apartment, he canât help but glance at you out of the corner of his eye again.Â
âJust canât stop staring, huh?â You smirk and he immediately brings his eyes back to the road.
âI have no idea what youâre talking about.â He smiles and you laugh.
âUh-huh. Sure you donât.â Carefully, you take one of his hands off the wheel and hold it in your lap, playing with his fingers. He knows the distraction is dangerous, but he really doesnât care at this point. Youâve got his hand in your lap, so close to your thighs that he can feel the heat radiating off of your skin, âI like when you stare, you know.â
âYeah?â Is all he can manage in response as you spread his fingers and place his open palm over your inner thigh.
âYeah.â You whisper, and when he glances at you again, youâve got a hunger in your eyes that makes him let out a shaky breath. He takes a chance, sliding his hand up the bottom of your dress to squeeze at the soft flesh that resides further up your thigh. You sigh, leaning your head back against the headrest as you idly drag your fingertips up and down the length of his forearm. He thinks he might pass out.
As he reaches your apartment building, he squeezes you before placing his hand back on the wheel to turn into the underground. He finds your visitor spot and parks the car, getting out to open the door for you. When you get to the elevator and finally reach the door to your apartment, you turn and tentatively take his hand.
âWould you, um,â You glance down at your shoes shyly, âWould you like to,â His heart races when you look up at him through your lashes, âcome inside?â
His breath stutters in his chest and it takes him a moment to come back down to earth. Unfortunately, you take this as a rejection, pulling your hand away and smiling at him apologetically, âSorry, you donât have to, obviously. I just thoughtâŠWell, it doesnât matter what I thought. Iâllâ.â
He doesnât let you go any further, stepping into your space and pressing his lips to yours. Heâs not about to let another misunderstanding pull you away from him. When he pulls back, he cups your cheek and strokes a line with his thumb from the corner of your eye, to your temple, and back, âIâd love to.â
You smile, quickly opening the door to your apartment and pulling him through. Shrugging off his jacket, you hang it up on your coat rack as he slips off his shoes. You struggle to get your heels off, so he kneels to undo to clasp and slip them off for you.
âSuch a gentleman.â You hum as he stands back up after placing your shoes under your coats, threading your fingers in the hairs closest to his ears. His hands gravitate to your waist as you press yourself against him, leaning up to peck his lips, his jaw, before opening your mouth to roll your tongue against the sensitive skin of his pulse point, drawing a deep, shuddering sigh from his lungs. Your teeth scrape against his jaw and he can hear your breath fanning hot against his neck. He swears under his breath and you chuckle, pulling away only to take his wrists and guide him down the hall towards your bedroom.
Before you have a chance to sit, he hooks his arm around you and pulls you back to him. He captures your lips again and slides his hand up your thighs and your dress to grasp at your waist, relishing in the way your skin feels under his hands. He only breaks the kiss to ask, âCan I take this off?â
âYou can take off as much as you want, handsome.â You pant and he grins, slipping your dress off before taking a moment to unabashedly ogle you.
âYou areâŠâ There are so many things he could say. Beautiful. Gorgeous. Ethereal. None of them would do you justice, âWow.â
You giggle, and he finds himself mesmerised by the way your shoulders shake and your stomach contracts with the motion, âIâve never known you as a man of few words, Doctor Reid.â
âI guess you just have that effect on me.â He smiles as you move to fiddle with his belt, swiftly pulling his pants down his legs and letting him lean on you a little as he steps out of them. You make quick work of his sweater vest and button down after that, leaving him standing there in his boxers, nearly bare to you. He gets a little anxious when you donât say anything at first, but when he takes the time to actually look at the way youâre staring at him, he realises youâre just as in awe of him as he is of you.
Taking you in his arms again, he walks you backwards until the backs of your knees hit the bed, letting you shimmy up the mattress until your head rests comfortably on your pillows. You open your arms to him, parting your thighs to let him slot himself snuggly in between. Gripping your hips, he spreads his knees and â with a strength that surprises both of you â tugs you towards him so that your heat is flush with his bulge. You gasp at the sudden manhandling, but donât seem upset. In fact, if he had to describe it, you look like you want to eat him.
He bends at the waist, sliding his hands down the backs of your thighs and holding them against his sides as he leans down to kiss you again. One hand finds his back while the other finds his hair, tugging and earning a groan in response. Heâd be content to sit there and kiss you for hours, but as you grind against him, sighing into his mouth, itâs clear youâre eager to have more of him.
Letting go of your thighs, he carefully wedges his fingers between you and the mattress to guide your back into a high enough arch that he can unclasp your bra. It takes him a couple tries, throughout which you kiss at his jaw in a lovely â but also rather unhelpful â way, but he gets it and slips it off, tossing it off to some unknown corner of the room. His hands stay safely on your sides for a moment as he glances up at you, waiting until you nod before he palms at your breast, leaning down to suck a few hickeys into the skin of your neck as he rolls your nipple between his fingers. You half sigh, half moan next to his ear and he rolls his hips into yours involuntarily, making you wrap your legs around his lower back to keep him where he is.
ââM not goinâ anywhere, lovely.â He mumbles against your skin, rolling his hips again as you grind down to meet him.
He shifts his attention lower for a moment, marking up your chest a little before pulling away, sitting back on his heels to admire his work. Dragging his fingertips over the freshly made hickeys and down the valley of your breasts, he can feel your heart beating hard and fast against your ribs. A little lower and he splays his palm over the soft flesh of your stomach. He can feel your heart there, too. He lowers his head to mouth at your sternum, and the vibrations reverberate against his lips and tongue in a steady lub-dub, lub-dub, lub-dub.Â
He kisses and sucks a trail down your stomach, stopping a moment to nip at the swell of your abdomen before kissing at your skin apologetically when you gasp and tug on his hair. Hooking his fingers under your panties, he slips them off before biting at the meat of your inner thighs, soothing the area with his tongue before repeating the process a little further up.
âSpence,â You pant, and he hums, looking up at you from his place between your thighs, âPlease.â
âPlease what?â He asks cheekily, chuckling when you huff at him in frustration.
âTouch me.â You sigh, and he feels a little lightheaded, âPlease.â
He dips his tongue into the well of slick at your entrance before dragging his tongue up to swirl around your clit. You choke on his name, arching your back and tugging on his hair. He lays there, eating at you like a man starved, sucking and rolling his tongue against you in a way that has you bucking your hips so much that he has to hook an arm around your thighs to hold them down. Slowly, he slips two fingers into you, earning a hissed, âFuckâ that has him rutting into the mattress. He curls his fingers and you use his hair as leverage to pull him closer.
His name sounds like music on your lips, lyrics strung together by breathy swears and blending into a chorus of moans. He finds when he flicks his tongue and curls his fingers a certain way, he can get you to whine all breathy and high pitched. He finds your body is his instrument. Your voice, his muse.Â
He feels you clench around his fingers, thighs trembling and breath speeding up as you get closer, and closer, before tipping over the edge with a loud, âOh, shit!â
He lets go of your hips and slows his pace a little to let you use him to ride out your high, only stopping when you go lax beneath him and tug him away by his hair. He takes a moment to wipe his lips with the back of his hand before you pull him up your body to kiss him slow and sweet. Your hand travels to fiddle with the hem of his boxers, and he takes your wrist, looking at you rather seriously.
âAre you sure?â He asks, searching your eyes for any sort of hesitation and finding none.
You nod and peck his lips once before locking eyes with him, âPositive.â
âOkay.â He kisses you once more before sliding his boxers down his legs. As he gets them off his ankles and makes it back onto his knees, you lean over to your side table and quickly pull out a condom, opening it and passing it to him. Heâs quick to roll it on before diving back into you, guiding you to lay back against your pillows. He kisses you once, twice, before dropping his forehead to your shoulder as he aligns himself with you. He pushes in slowly, bracing himself on his elbow and he lets out a wrecked moan next to your ear. When he bottoms out, he gives you a moment to adjust, waiting until youâre ready.
You roll your hips with a whiny little, âSpence.â and he sees stars. He goes slow, tries to be gentle, grinding his hips into yours and splitting you open slowly. His head is filled with the scent of you, the sound of you, the feel of you. When he said he wanted to drown in you, he meant it. He isnât a religious man by any means, but if it meant worshipping at your feet and allowing him the privilege of being yours, heâd abandon his principles and repent in an instant.
âHarder.â You beg, and he bends to your will, setting a near back breaking pace.Â
He keeps the grinding motion, but the force at which his hips hit yours have you digging your nails into his back and throwing your head back. His mouth finds the side of your larynx, tongue laving over the area before he latches his lips to your skin and sucks another bruise into it.
The room is filled with your sinful noises, moans and the sound of skin on skin as his hips snap against yours so hard that he worries for a moment that you might bruise.Â
That thought is gone as quick as it comes when you moan out, âFuck, just like that.â
That familiar coil winds up in his abdomen and warmth spreads from his thighs to his toes. You flutter around him, and he knows that youâre getting close too. His fingers find your clit, rubbing tight circles over the little bundle of nerves until your legs tremble and his name falls from your lips like a prayer, cunt spasming around him until heâs reaching his high too. He whimpers as he spills into the condom, body going rigid before he lets his upper body rest fully on you.
Thereâs a moment where he just sits there, sweaty torso flush with yours as he presses his ear against your chest to listen to your heart slow. You run your fingers through his hair, scratching lightly at his scalp as you let him place a few sweet kisses to the curve of your breast.
âYou wanna stay the night?â You ask softly and he nods.Â
He sits up to pull the condom off, tying it up and tossing it into the bin beside your bed before noticing the blissed out haze youâre in, âYou want to have a shower?âÂ
âMm-mm.â You hum, holding your arms out to him.
âOkay.â He whispers as he flops onto the mattress beside you, pulling you into his chest and pressing his lips to your hairline. You sigh, nuzzling your nose against the divot where his collar bones meet. It isnât long before your breaths even out and he isnât far behind, the sound of your breathing coaxing him into a haze. The last thing he thinks about before he falls asleep is where heâs taking you on your next few dates.

Part 1 - Current - Part 3
Spencer hadnât realised how much he wanted â how much he needed â your touch until you stopped. Where there was once that warm, tingly anticipation whenever he made you laugh, thereâs now a strange absence left in its wake. Where there used to have been a bump or a squeeze, there are awkward smiles and nervous glances. Like a line of dialogue without end quotations, left to hang in the balance while the author considers what should be said next.
Itâs killing him.
Heâs come to realise that this want extends beyond the bounds of anything that could ever be considered platonic. He wants more than your touch. He wants you.
He craves you, finds himself remembering the way your arms felt around him the last time you hugged him. Finds himself fantasising about how it would feel to be the one to take you in his arms. How it would feel to be the one to hold you; to cradle your face between his palms and lose himself in your kiss; to let go of his inhibitions and drown himself in the depths of your affections.
He wants your time and energy. He wants your attention and praise. He wants to be the one to make you smile and laugh so hard your stomach hurts. He wants to be yours, and he wants everyone to know it.
Itâs only been three weeks since that night at the bar, but even so, he feels like if he doesnât figure out how to tell you how he feels, he might very well lose his mind. Youâre right across from him all day, five days a week. Itâs torture. Perhaps heâs being dramatic, but at this point, heâs well beyond caring.
The problem is, how on earth is he supposed to go about confessing to you? Heâs never been suave or charismatic. Heâs awkward and dorky and breaks a sweat every time anyone even remotely attractive looks his way. Heâs never felt this intensely about anyone before, never desired anyone this way before. Sometimes, late at night when heâs finally tucked himself into bed, he attempts to calculate the probability of you ever wanting him in the way he wants you.
In his pessimistic mind, that number is despairingly low.
âSpence?â He startles at the sound of your voice, snapping his head up to look at you.
Youâve worn a different lipstick today. Itâs a little darker than your usual colour, a rather glossy, rosier shade of mauve. He thinks heâs seen it somewhere before, and the name pops up from somewhere in his memory.
âRum raisin.â He mumbles, staring intently at your lips and wondering briefly if it would transfer if he kissed you.
âWhat?â You cock your head at him with an amused sort of confusion.
He blinks once before clearly his throat, âOh, um, your lipstick.â
You raise your hand so your fingertips hover over your bottom lip as you smile at him, âHowâd you know?â
âI saw it in a drugstore once.â
You chuckle and shake your head, âYour memory never ceases to amaze me, Spence.â
His heart swells as he smiles sheepishly, âThanks.â
You hum before gesturing to two big boxes of files that are sitting on your desk, âCould you help me run these down to records?â
âOh, yeah.â Heâs quick to cross the short distance to your desk and purposely picks the heavier of the two boxes.
The trip down to records is a rather tedious one as of today. The elevator is out of order so you have to take the stairs from the sixth floor to the third.
âDo you like rain?â You ask, and it takes him a moment to realise youâre looking out water speckled windows at the stormy street below.
âYeah.â He leaves out the part that the possibility of power outages and the darkness that accompanies them unnerves him greatly.
You turn your head to smile at him as you reach the records room, âMe too.â
He opens the door for you before you have the chance and lets you go in first, letting the door shut behind him. He follows you into the room, weaving between shelves and stepping over boxes that have yet to find their places. He watches you skim over the yellowed labels, your lips twitching as you read them off in your head.
You find the spot youâre looking for and make a sound of satisfaction before bending at the waist to slide the box into place, your skirt sliding a little further up to press against the plush flesh of the backs of your thighs. His gaze wanders up the length of your body and stops at your chest. From this angle, heâs able to see the curve of your breast and he swallows hard. Squeezing his eyes shut, he shakes his head, feeling ashamed for ogling you like that.
Behind the darkness of his eyelids, he sees the lights flicker and when he opens them, he finds heâs not able to see much more than when he had them closed.
Shit.
âDamnit, the powerâs out.â You curse, taking the box from him and slotting it in next to the other.
He takes a deep breath. The dark isnât as frightening with you there in front of him, but that familiar anxiety pricks his chest and settles heavy in his gut.
âSpence?â
He wonders when the emergency lights will come on. Maybe theyâre already on in the hall. He feels along the wall and shuffles back over to the door. When he tries the knob, he finds it locked. Now heâs panicking a little.
Well, maybe a lot.
Thereâs a clap of thunder outside thatâs so powerful that he feels it in his chest and he jumps, breath catching in his chest as he screws his eyes shut as if itâll make a difference.
âSpence?â You call again softly, âAre you okay?
âY-Yeah.â He stutters.
âYou donât like storms?â
He shakes his head before realising you canât see him, âNo, not really.â
âMe neither.â You whisper, and he hears the shuffling of your clothes as you shift your weight between your feet and huff a breathy puff of nervous laughter, âI donât like the dark either.â
âMe neither.â He echoes, wetting his lips briefly as he considers how to comfort you despite how anxious he is himself.
Carefully, tentatively, he reaches for you in the dark and takes your hand, just barely brushing his thumb over your knuckles. Your skin is soft and warm, and he attempts to find your face in the dark as he murmurs ever so softly, âIs this okay?â
âYeah.â You reply just as softly, squeezing his hand.
Itâs a little unsettling not being able to see you. He can hear you breathing, and having your hand in his feels so nice, but he wants you closer.
âCan IâŠâ He trails off, but tugs at your hand so youâll step a little closer. He swallows his nerves, âCan I distract you?â
Itâs a lame excuse, but itâs all he can come up with on the spot.
âDistract me how?â He can hear the smile in your voice and it encourages his steadily growing confidence.
He pulls you closer, and you step further into his space. He places a hand on your waist, and you donât recoil. In fact, you come a little closer and set a hand on his chest. You slide it along the length of his shoulder and up the back of his neck to thread your fingers in the hairs at the base of his skull and he shudders, lips parting to sigh softly. Your thumb settles just behind his ear and strokes the skin there tenderly and he canât stop himself from leaning down to gently bump your nose with his, giving you plenty of time to pull away, to tell him you donât want this.
âCan I kiss you?â You ask so innocently, breath fanning over his lips in a steady rhythm as his eyelids flutter shut.
âPlease.â He breathes, leaning in to meet you halfway.
Your lips meet his timidly and his heart stutters in his chest. Thereâs a second where you pull back to let him breathe, let him get used to the feeling. His eyes open a sliver, just enough to make out the edges of you in the dark as his brain catches up with his body. And then the shock passes.
And he devours you.
The hand that was on your waist comes up to cradle your cheek as he brushes his tongue against your bottom lip in a silent request. You grant it, opening up to him to let him roll his tongue against yours. You stand on your tiptoes and lean further into him, returning the kiss with a fervour he wasnât expecting but welcomes happily. He can taste your lipstick and is pleasantly surprised to find it tastes a little like vanilla.
Thereâs a push and pull of tongues and teeth and soft little sighs as he dares to slip his hands down and pull you flush against him by your hips, revelling in the breathy moan that slips from your throat and meets his mouth. He pulls away only to kiss sloppily at the corner of your mouth and down your jaw. He nips at the juncture between your neck and shoulder, smiling against your skin when you gasp and tug at his hair. Mouthing at your skin, he searches until you whine and shudder after he drags his teeth over a particular spot and focuses his attention there.
He sucks a nice bruise into the spot, some primal part of him driving him to mark you up and claim you as his while he has you here. He bites a little too hard and you hiss, making him pull back and search for your face in the dark.
âSorry, did I hurt you?â
âMm-mm.â You hum before immediately capturing his lips again, slipping your tongue into his mouth and swallowing the moan that escapes him.
He guides you by your hips until he has you pressed against the door, sliding a hand down the length of your thigh before slipping it up past the hem of your skirt to grab greedily at your flesh. He hikes your leg up by his hip and you hook your knee around it to pull him impossibly close.
His touch is tender even as he practically swallows you whole, thumb stroking the side of your thigh where your skirt has ridden up. He rolls his hips up against your experimentally and you whine, urging him to do it again. This is what heâs wanted â craved â for so long. Youâre warm and soft in ways that his imagination could have never replicated. Heâs dizzy, drunk on your kiss, on your touch, on you.
Heâs attached himself to your neck again â the other side this time â when the lights flicker on, startling you both into looking up at the ceiling.
The room is filled with nothing but the sound of your combined laboured breathing, and when he looks back at you, he finds your face flushed and your lipstick smudged. You look back at him and he notices your pupils are blown wide as you suddenly smile and start giggling.
âWhat?â He chuckles, letting go of your thigh so that you can stand on your own two feet again.
âRum raisin looks good on you, doctor.â You laugh, thumbing the remnants of your kisses off of his bottom lip.
He kisses you once again, smiling against your lips.
You tug him back and laugh again, âYouâre making it worse!â
He does it again, and again, and then peppers kisses over the side of your neck until youâre giggling something awful and have to scrunch your shoulder to your ear to keep him from tickling you.
âSpencer!â You squeak as quietly as you can and he pulls away laughing.
Your giggles die down, and then youâre both left in a silence that isnât awkward, but isnât quite comfortable either. He has to say something, but what?
âHey, would you, um,â You start, glancing down at his lips and biting at yours nervously, âWould you like to go out with me sometime? Just us?â
He blinks, wanting to pinch himself to make sure this is actually happening, âLike, a date?â
You nod. He blinks again before practically beaming at you.
âYeah.â He nods, attempting to correct the smudged edge of your lipstick with his thumb, âYeah, Iâd really like that.â
âSaturday? Five oâ clock? We can do whatever you want.â
He nods again, âSounds good.â
âGood.â You smile, leaning up to kiss him, your touch so saccharine and gentle that his legs feel like jello beneath him.
The doorknob jiggles suddenly and he instinctively reaches to help you button up your blouse a little more while you fiddle with the collar until it covers the rather obvious hickey on your neck.
âHey, are you two still in there?â Derek calls from the other side as you attempt to help Spencer fix his hair to no avail.
âUh, yeah!â He calls, clearing his throat after his voice cracks up an octave, âWe accidentally locked ourselves in.â
âHere.â You bend to slide the key under the door, and this time, he stares unabashedly, âThatâs the key.â
The knob jiggles a little more before the door opens, and when it does, Derek eyes the two of you suspiciously, âYou guys okay?â He locks eyes with Spencer and smirks, âYou seem a little winded.â
âYeah, weâre okay.â You smile, hastily walking out, âThe boxes were just heavy. Plus, we had to walk all the way down here.â
âYeah, okay.â Derek says, though itâs clear he isn't convinced. When you get a little further ahead of them, he claps Spencer on the back with a bright grin, âAbout time, loverboy!â
âShut up.â Spencer shoots back, though he canât help the smile that creeps up on his face.
This is not how he expected his confession to go, but â as he watches you walk down the hall a little ways ahead of him with a renewed pep in your step and your hair a little dishevelled â he is so glad it went the way it did.
Edit: I had a couple people request a part 3 (Possibly smutty, but we shall see), and I'm curious about whether or not y'all would want that? Just let me know in the replies/reblogs. :)
Update: Part 3 is posted and linked at the top of this post :)
summary: one of the many perks of having a boyfriend with flawless memory is that you do not have to remember stuffâhe remembers them for you.
genre: tooth-rotting domestic fluff
word count: 1.5k
author's notes: i wrote this because domestic!spencer reid is a guilty pleasure of mine. i can definitely picture him as an attentive boyfriend because aside from the fact that he has flawless memory, he's an overall caring guy. with that said, i hope you'll enjoy reading this as much as i enjoyed writing this! also posted on ao3 (spencereids).
ONE OF THE MANY PERKS OF HAVING A BOYFRIEND WITH FLAWLESS MEMORY IS THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REMEMBER STUFFâHE REMEMBERS THEM FOR YOU. Do you have a dentist's appointment at 9? Covered. He will be waking you up at 7 with breakfast in bed. Your sisterâs birthday is coming up. No worries! He has already ordered a bouquet ready to be sent on the day. It is amazing, and you thank your lucky stars for him every morning when you wake up and see him cozily sleeping beside you.
However, you were out of luck on the boyfriend angle today. You had your monthlyâor if the BAU is freeâgirls' night scheduled tonight. As much as you enjoy having girls' nights with the BAU girls, Spencer also likes to spend some time out with the guys for a nightcap or something, whatever the men at the BAU enjoy when there is no case. And that means, your boyfriend is busy getting ready to go out as well. Although Spencer has never forgotten a thing in his lifeâeven when he is on the brink of life and deathâyou do not want to stress him out even more by asking him what you think you have forgotten to prepare.
So, today when you were running around the house like a madman trying to collect the stuff you need to bring to Garciaâs for girls' night, you have no one else to blame but yourself. You have depended on your boyfriend to remember stuff for you that you always leave the preparation at the very last minute. At the moment, you believe youâve never hated yourself as much as you did now, which is quite the feat considering that youâve hated yourself a lot before for chickening out on confessing your feelings to boy wonderâyour boyfriend, Spencer Reidâonly to find out he shares the same feelings.
Scratch that, you hate your boyfriend right now more than you hate yourself.
Currently, that same boyfriend has been snickering nonstop at you dashing left and right and gathering the things you need to bring. Face masks? Check. Wine? Check. What else were you forgetting?
âYou know, thereâs this study that says only 82% of people have a time management system.âÂ
Your ever-loving boyfriend, Spencer, decided to share. You were about to chuck the throw pillow at him because you could hear the I told you so in his voice, but you knew his fact-sharing and nagging was his unique way of saying, âI love you, but you couldâve remedied this problem by preparing the stuff youâll need the night before.â
âNo, I donât, Spence. But, do tell.âÂ
At this point, youâre pretty sure Spencer was sporting a shit-eating grin and was probably holding in a laugh at the strain in your voice from recalling whether youâve got everything so you can head over to Garciaâs. Youâre pretty sure Garcia is about to talk your ear off if youâre running late. You missed out on the last girls' night after you bailed on them, wanting to spend the night with Spencer, watching Star Wars, and eating takeout.
âThere's a survey done recently which revealed that 90% of people say better time management can lead to increased productivity.â Spencer started explaining, hands waving around as if to demonstrate the numbers in front of him. âHowever, only 18% of people have a proper time management system.â
âAnd?âÂ
âWell, it just reminded me of you.â Spencer pursed his lips now, as he tried to explain his thoughts without annoying you. âIf you just had a proper time management system like a to-do list or a planner. You could save at least..â He stared at his watch and did the math, âYou could save at least one hour and forty-three minutes of your time instead of panicking over whether you got all the things you need for girls' night.â
âI donât need that when I have you. Donât you think so?â
This made your boyfriend blush, and you giggled, heading towards his direction, so you could wrap your hands around his waist and bury your face into his chest. You were the luckiest person alive for getting to date someone as wonderful as Spencer.
What you just said would not have made anyone flush and nervous, but Spencer was different. You knew heâs never been in a formal relationship with anyone before you. Thus, from time to time, he still gets embarrassed by your antics which youâll always be endeared by. You live to see your boyfriend getting flustered because it gives you a reason to shower him with affection like now.
âI love you too, Spence.â
You looked up at your boyfriend, who looked like he was about to burst from your directness. You and he may deal with a lot of blood and gore during work, but he can be the most fainthearted person alive when it came to your affections.
âB-but I didnât say I love you..â He trailed off, confused as to why you were suddenly proclaiming your love for him. You grinned even more as you pinched the tip of his nose.
âYou didnât have to, Spence. I know your nagging is one way of you saying you love me, and I love you for that.âÂ
Spencer scrunched his nose and rubbed the back of his neck out of shyness. If you could keep him in your pocket for safekeeping, you would. Heâs just too precious for this world.
âBut, as much as I love you, I know just as much that Penelope will have my ass kicked by Emily if I get to her house late,â you broke free from your boyfriendâs comfy arms, checking the bags you packed while doing so. âI have to go, baby. I think I got everything I need.â
Picking up your bag and care package, you ruffled your boyfriendâs brown locks, which made him frown a bit and sigh. You snickered at his reaction and proceeded to walk towards the front door. You were about to reach the staircase just outside your shared apartment when you realized something.Â
You forgot your car keys.
Berating yourself in your head, you were certain once you entered that door, Spencer would be on your case like a mother duck. He can be too fretful when it comes to you. Oh well, that is one thing you love about him. Huffing, you slowly turned the doorknob and found Spencer leaning on the wall just inside the door with his arms crossed, looking at you smugly. You rolled your eyes.
One thing about Spencer Reid is he can be a cocky little shit when proven right. And that happens mostâif not allâthe time, with his IQ of 187 and eidetic memory. Unfortunately for him, he also happened to date a cocky little shitâyouâwho likes to fluster the living lights out of him. And right now, you just thought of the perfect way to get back at him.
But first, your car keys. Spencer next.
Once you have retrieved the pesky itemâlike itâs the car keysâ fault, you forgot to get themâyou turned towards the door, not paying any attention to your boyfriend, who was already cracking up at you. Only when youâve reached the door, your back towards Spencer, did you smirk. Oh, heâll never know whatâs coming to him. You did a U-turn andÂ
âForgot something, sweetheart?â
âWhy, yes I did, Dr. Reid,â you stated plainly, beelining towards him, making him take a few steps back until he ended up with his back against the wall. He's so easy to fluster. "I forgot to do this."
You slanted your head and pressed your lips against his. Your bodies were snug against each other as you kissed heatedly against the wall. You could feel the flutter of his long lashes against your cheeks as he parted his lips slightly to kiss you deeper. You could taste your shared breath, smell his faint perfume, and feel the slight scruff of a stubble about to show up. Warmth blossomed in your chest when you felt Spencer caress your face as if you were fine porcelain.
Kissing Spencer Reid never gets old in your books. Despite his lack of romantic experience and being the eager researcher that he was, Spencer was an eager loverâhe would kiss you every chance he'd get to know how to please you, which paid off, by the way. This may be a biased opinion but you think the best kisses you have shared were with Spencer.
However, like all good things, kissing Spencer has to end, or Garcia will have you banned from her house for running late.
You pulled away from Spencer and grinned at him, to which he returned with a stunned smile. You chuckled when you noticed your lipstick smudged on the corner of his lips and brushed a finger to erase it. You wouldn't want your boyfriend to be the subject of Morgan's teasing once they're together after this. Noticing the daze your boyfriend is under is about to wear off, and he was about to say something, you beat him to it by pressing a smooch on his nose and pulling away completely.Â
"I gotta go, Dr. Reid. Don't miss me too much!"
You scampered towards the door and shot a wink at your bewildered boyfriendâwho was now sputtering in indignation for interrupting what he was about to say. He is so cute.

MASTERLIST
ââŠyouâre buried in the pillow, yeah youâre so loudâŠâ
THERE WAS NO DENYING THE WARM FLOOD OF AROUSAL RUSHING IN HER SYSTEM. Y/n inhaled a sharp breath, her heart rate climbing in her chest she could feel her pulse throbbing through her entire body. She readjusted herself along her pillow and closed her eyes before exhaling, her thighs pressed together as she tried not to let her mind travel into any lewd thoughts.
But the sound of his shallow breathing was enough to make her terribly aware of the abrupt shift in her body. She could feel the dull, needy throb between her legs merging with that burn of sheer want for him low in her stomach. Her eyes fluttered open then, and there he was, sleeping on his side of the bed with his face facing toward her.
Spencer looked so peaceful. His eyes were closed, lashes brushing along his cheeks, and his mouth slightly parted while his chest rose in a steady rhythm, a sign of him in complete slumber. She had seen the drowsiness in his eyes the moment he walked through the door this evening, the fatigue clumped in his shoulders as he kissed her in greeting. It had been days since the last time he had proper sleep, having to travel across the country for a recent case, and today he finally had the chance to rest his bones from all of the work.
But it also meant it had been eleven days, fifteen hours, and forty-six minutes since the last time she had him buried deep inside her...
Not that she was counting.
Fineâmaybe she was. Maybe she was keeping up with their time apart because being with him was something she looked forward to, in and out of the bedroom. How could she not? He was her partner; her smart, caring boyfriend who she loved too damn much and would do anything to bide the time relishing in his presence.
Although tonight she did have a specific activity in mind, which now seemed more like wishful thinking considering he was already deep in slumber. He needed the sleep, she reminded herself. He was simply tired and he needed all the rest he could get.
Swallowing hard, Y/n tried to push her desire back down. She turned over, laid back down on her back, and let her eyelids fall back down as she settled her arms to her side. But the position was too uncomfortable. She let out a groan and shifted again, hips moving along the bed a few times before she finally stopped.
The feel of something shifting woke Spencer up, his mind slowly stirring awake. A soft sigh escaped him as he lay silently, his mind quieted in the stillness of the night. Then his breathing evened out a moment later, exhaustion of the past few days took over before his eyelids lowered, body drifting back to sleep. Except for a little bit later, he heard more rustling along the pillow, a soft, feminine sound of frustration barely ringing in his ears. This time he slowly opened his eyes, adjusting himself in the dark.
The first thing he noticed was a mass of hair laid in front of him, then bare arms and a slender body clad in a silky nightgown. There was silence as he tried to pick up her breathing, watching her back move steadily in the poorly lit room. When another exasperated sigh escaped her, Spencer inched closer and reached out, an arm wrapping around her waist as he pulled her closer toward him.
"Hey," he softly murmured, concerned about her constant movements in her sleep. "You alright?"
Y/n stopped herself from letting out a moan. On normal occasions, being pressed up against him in bed would lull her to sleep, the comfort of his arms provided an immense amount of warmth and safety. Definitely not tonight. The way his arm tightened around her, tugging her back into his solid chest awoken that part of her she tried to suppress. The heat of his body enveloped her and she found herself leaning back, accepting the warmth he was offering.
"Hmm," her returning hum answered, sinking deeper into his embrace.
"Bad dream?"
She stopped herself from snorting. She couldn't even get a wink of sleep and here he was, concerned about the possibility of her having nightmares. But it was a better reason than to admit why she couldn't rest her eyes, so she nodded, her voice slightly breathless as she whispered, "Something like that."
The silence in the air after her reply was jarring. If Spencer was half-awake before, he was fully awake now, the rasp in her voice far too familiar for him to ignore. And when he finally regained his consciousness back, he became highly aware of his surroundings. The soft mattress underneath him, the plush pillow below his head, and the soft curves pressed against him.
He could feel her body trembling underneath his palm, her breathing picking up its pace as his fingers glided along her stomach. He could practically hear the sound of her heartbeat as he pulled her even closer, his head shifting along her shoulder, his nose brushing against the back of her neck. The subtle fragrance of flowers and honey filled his nostrils as he breathed in her scent, nuzzling further into her, the stubble of his jaw grazing along her skin.
"Spence," she muttered, tilting her head into the pillow. "What are you doing?"
"You seem to be having trouble sleeping." She felt the bed shift behind her as he moved again, and then a moment later she felt him pressing his hips into her ass. She let out a gasp. "I'm helping you relax."
She felt something pleasantly warm grazing her neck, his lips moving deliberately slow, as if he was in no hurry and only wanted to savor the taste of her skin. His hand then slid further up her stomach, palm flat as it dragged up her body, leaving a trail of fire in its wake. It eventually stopped its roam, halting its search when he cupped her left breast tenderly.
She couldn't stop the strained moan from slipping out of her mouth. "Sleep isn't exactly on my mind right now."
"I figured," he murmured beside her ear, his hot breath drawing goosebumps along her skin. "How long have you been awake?"
His hand gently kneaded her breast as his mouth traveled along her neck. Her eyelids lowered slightly, a wet heat forming between her thighs as her arousal intensified. "I haven't slept."
"And why is that?" A finger brushed across her nipple through her thin nightgown. She suppressed a helpless whimper as his thumb circled around the nub, caressing it so gently she could feel her body shaking with need. "Go on." He tugged on her nipple between his fingers. "Use your words."
"I..." She felt his tongue softly grazing her skin before he wrapped his mouth around her flesh, sucking on the spot. What was she to say? That she was too aroused to relax? She carefully weighed her words, feeling bashful verbalizing her thoughts, so she finally settled with, "It was too hot."
He hummed in response, somehow acknowledging the meaning behind her words. She watched as his hand left her breast, sliding up her bare arm before it settled on the strap of her flimsy sleepwear. He gently tugged down the thin string as his mouth lowered towards her shoulder, languorously trailing kisses down the line of it. "We should do something about that, shouldn't we?"
She couldn't think clearly when his touch sent her into a whirlwind of chaos. To crave something was one thing, to actually acquire that craving was an entirely different thing. She had wanted to feel him so much, but as his hand trailed back to her now-exposed breast, her mind was in a mess of desperate longing and need. Somehow his mouth trailing on her neck wasn't enough. Somehow his callused fingers stroking her nipple wasn't enough. She needed to feel every inch of his body on her. She wanted all of him.
More, more, more.
"Spence," she breathed out, her hoarse voice hanging in the air.
A ghost of a smile played on his lips. "Tell me." His grip on her nipple tightened, and she shuddered at the sensation. "Tell me what you want."
"You," she answered in a daze. "I want you."
"What do you want me to do?" He gently bit her flesh. "Do you want me to make you feel good? Do you want me to touch you, relax the tension in your body?" Then her heart sped up in her chest, slamming roughly into her rib cage at his next words.
"Do you want me to fuck you to sleep?"
A strangled whimper left her mouth. Spencer was a lot of things in bed. When they had first been together, he was so timid and unsure of himself, too caught up in his thoughts that left him too afraid to touch herâwhich she honestly hadn't minded, she loved being the one who saw his transformation in the bedroom. But when he finally started to loosen up and be himself with her, exploring things he wanted to try, to finally take control? It drove her absolutely wild to experience him gain his confidence it made her weak in the knees every damn time.
Like this side of him now always managed to render her speechless. Perhaps it was the way he was so poised and calm outside the bedroom, a very different demeanor when he was alone with her, that made it all seem so overwhelming. In the safety of their bedroom, he was everything he desired, and being crude and demanding was what he decided to be this night.
His hand caressing her nipple slid up her chest, his fingers gently wrapping around the base of her neck. Her breath hitched as he softly gripped it, pulling her even further into his chest. "Tell me, is that what you want?"
She was breathing even heavier now, her shoulders heaving with each audible inhale. "Yes."
He bit her earlobe, evoking another breathless shudder out of her. "Explain it in words, I need you to speak to me."
Y/n enjoyed the sweet, gentle way he made love to her. She really did. Very, very much so. But there was a certain enjoyment whenever he was in control. Whenever he let himself go and have his way with herâcrass words over sweet nothings, rough stokes over soft touches. It burned her skin and gripped onto her arousal, waking up the submissive side of her which she enjoyed more than she should probably have.
Spencer's grip tightened at her silence. "Are you not going to answer me?"
"Yes," she quickly responded, feeling the subtle bulge of him pressed along her backside. "Please."
"Please... what?"
She couldn't believe he was making her say it. Y/n inhaled a sharp breath and leaned into his touch, practically shifting the weight of her body on top of him. "Spence."
"I need to hear the words or you won't get anything at all," he spoke, his thumb grazing her chin.
The thought of being left sexually frustrated was enough for her to nod, giving in to his command. "Yes," she whispered, and because she wanted to make him feel as desperate as she was, she squirmed, hips writhing along his groin as she searched for friction. "I want you to fuck me to sleep."
A pleased rumble vibrated in his throat. Letting go of her neck, his hand trailed down her body and landed on the top of her thigh, gently massaging the muscle beneath his palm. His fingers skimmed up toward her skin, pushing up her nightgown, exposing more delicate skin and skimpy underwear barely covering her ass. Then it happened so fast. One moment he was caressing her, the next thing she knew his hand drew back before it came barreling forward with a sharp smack that echoed in the room. She gasped in pleasant surprise, her clit throbbing in excitement as his palm rubbed along the stinging flesh.
"You liked that, didn't you?"
She whimpered in response. Then his hand retreated from her ass only to come flying forward again with another sharp crack. Her hips jolted forward at the impact, her eyes closing at the delicious sting as his hand held onto her her stomach. His fingers then slowly trailed south and her breath hitched in her throat as she felt his lips hot on her ear.
"Open your legs, sweetheart."
Her knees fell apart at the demand, one of her legs laying on top of his. She waited for him to touch her, to dip his hand into her aching folds in the confinement of her underwear. Instead, his fingers slipped into the side of her fabric, tugging the material to the side, exposing wet, damp skin to his desire. The slick evidence of her arousal stuck onto the fabric so thickly it was enough for her to feel the heat creeping along her cheeks.
"Would you look at that?" He whispered, lips touching the back of her ear. "I haven't even touched you here and you're already soaking wet."
Her heart was pounding hard in her chest as she watched him. There wasn't a moment of hesitation while his fingers tugged the waistband of her underwear, gingerly sliding them down her legs before pulling them past her feet and casting them somewhere over the side of the bed. Then he grabbed onto her knee, parting her legs further apart but not doing anything to quench her desire. He could feel her trembling, writhing with need as she pressed further into his front.
The cool air hit her exposed skin, and it took a lot of self-control for her not to beg even further, but the way her body squirmed was enough to let him know what she craved. Though his hand stayed where it was, firmly gripping onto her left leg, sliding it on top of his while his lips lazily mapped along her neck.
"Here's what we're going to do," his gruff voice filled her ears. "I'm going to touch you, I'm going to please you in every way you likeâ" His hand slid painfully slow down her thigh before it came to a complete stop. "âbut you can only cum when I give you permission to." His fingers inched closer to her throbbing heat. "Do I make myself clear?"
A shiver spread along her body, understanding what he meant by those words. He wanted to rule her, he wanted to be the one in charge of her own body. And while she should've felt appalled at the thought, her arousal rather grew deeper at every ticking second as he waited for her reply.
And then suddenly his fingers wrapped around her neck again, gently pressing onto her skin as he jutted his hips towards her. "Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes," she begged him, her hand lightly tugging around his arm. "Perfectly clear."
Then his hand trailed down again, slightly brushing her aroused nipples before it settled on the heated span between her legs. When the pads of his fingers lightly grazed her clit, his teeth bit down on her shoulder. A hiss of pleasure instantly flew out of her mouth. Two of his fingers began running back and forth between her damp folds, the sensation was gradually pulling shallower and shallower breaths from her.
"You're so wet," he growled against her skin. "This what you've been needing?"
She faintly nodded, her hips moving gradually with his fingers. His fingers circled in swift motion and it was enough for her to roll her head back onto his shoulder. His fingers then slid back into her slicked entrance before he abruptly slipped two of them into her. Eyes snapping shut, she groaned in pleasure. He began thrusting slowly into her over and over, curling them deep inside. A whimper escaped her mouth at the feel of them as he began to pump into her roughly, her hips pressing eagerly back into his hand.
"I can already feel you clenching around my fingers," he whispered. "You really needed this, didn't you?"
"So much," she found herself answering, a hand grasping onto his arm as he kept thrusting his fingers at a steady pace. "I needed you."
"Then you have me. You'll always have me."
A breathy moan flew out of her at his words, her back arched in response. She felt his lips pulling into a smile along her skin, thrusting his fingers all the way in. She moaned loudly, her head dropping down between his shoulders as he pulled his fingers out before quickly pushing them right back inside.
"Spence," she breathlessly sighed, his fingers still vigorously thrusting into her, only pausing to occasionally curl inside of her which in turn had her toes curling on the bed, her body feeling closer to the edge of her release. "I-I'm gonnaâ"
"No. You're not."
She let out a loud groan, griping his arm as he thrust deeper, his fingers spreading wider into her as another finger entered her heat. His warm breath was brushing over her skin, the sensation mingled with his finger still thrusting into her deliciously pleasant. "Baby, I-I can'tâ"
"You can," he whispered, his breathing sounding harsher than before. "You're going to wait until I give you my permission."
A harsh moan ripped in her throat, her body spasming as she tried to force herself to control her body. but it was getting harder to do when her vision felt like it was blurring, her breath coming in sharp pants as his fingers continued to drive into her, the sensation had her legs shaking. She could hear how wet she was, the slick sound of him pumping into her echoed in the room.
"You're really enjoying this," he ground out as his pace picked up. "You're already so close."
She nodded against the pillow, whimpering out an affirmative noise that wasn't quite a word.
"Then I can't let that happen."
Instead of getting what she wanted, he abruptly pulled his fingers out from inside of her before she whined in protest. The loss of his touch on her body was too much to handle as she gripped his arm again, guiding him back between his legs. Spencer couldn't help the amusement dripping in his voice as he watched her move his fingers with her own. "What are you doing?"
"Spence, I was so closeâ"
"That's not how this works."
Then he retrieved his hand again before shifting behind her, and when she caught him pulling down his sweatpants, she couldn't help but arch her body towards him. She swallowed hard, goosebumps raising along her skin as she watched him pull out his cock, his hand gripping onto the length of it as he settled between her legs.
A moment later she felt the head of his cock rubbing through her damp folds, a shudder running down her spine at the sensation, a soft hum vibrating through her lips. She felt him line himself up with her entrance, her breath feeling like it was catching in her throat as she impatiently waited for him.
And then, finally, after many days of being apart, the tip of him slid inside of her so slowly. A gasp fell out of her mouth. Spencer rumbled out a very gruff, contented noise as he gradually sunk even deeper inside of her, pausing to let herself adjust to him.
"You feel so warm," he groaned out. "So perfectly warm."
She moaned in response, breath coming in hard. "Don't stop, please don't stop."
She could feel her walls fluttering around him, trying to adjust to his girth. Then his hips slowly began rocking into her, pleasure washing over her body in waves at the sensation. His mouth lowered beside her ear, each of his panting breaths falling straight into it. "Niceâ" He moved his hips back before pushing them forward leisurely, enjoying the way she clenched around him. "âand slow."
The roll of his hips pulled her into a trance as her body responded; muscles straining, eyes widening, lips parting. Sparks of electricity began to ricochet along every nerve. The coil inside her was building up, her chest was rising and falling faster, more and more, dragging desperate breaths into her lungs with every thrust of his hips.
Then her eyes shifted downwards, watching the way he entered her deliciously body. It was a strange sight, to watch her body react to something so wonderful. Her muscles tensed, goosebumps sprang up along her skin, and it was all there for her viewing pleasure. She watched as he shoved himself into her, over and over again, her walls trembling at how intoxicating he was making her feel.
"Baby, Iâ" she whimpered, trembling in her wake. "I can't hold much longer."
"You can," he assured her, his fingers digging into her skin.
Weak and desperate, she surrendered in the wake of the urge elicited by his abrasive touch. His hands were all over her, large and expansive, confident in the way he touched, squeezed, and fondled every part of her body. Eager flames bloomed in the pit of her gut. "IâI can't."
He relished the way she clenched around him, her breathing coming out shallow as he took what he wanted. Then he gripped her hips, building up his pace as he thrust deeper into her. "You're so close, I can feel it," he pointed out. "Do you want to cum?"
She tried to focus her mind on something other than the feeling of him inside her. "Yes."
"Hmm," he hummed out, his pace briefly slowing. His lips brushed the shell of her ear as he demanded, "Beg me or I'll stop."
A whimper left her. "Spence."
His lips found her neck when he felt her walls squeezing him even tighter, "Do you want to cum?" he repeated against her skin.
"Mhmm."
"Use your words," he groaned as he increased the pace of his movements. "Say it."
Swallowing hard, her head rolled against his shoulder. Her lips were quivering as he kept up his pace, her body inching closer and closer to her release. She was fighting to hold it back, her body slowly beginning to shake along the mattress.
"Beg."Â Thrust. "Me."Â Thrust.
She was so close. Her eyes were half-lidded her voice rang in the air, breathless and desperate for his mercy from the overwhelming pleasure. "Please," she finally breathed out, almost letting out a cry, her lips parted in delight. "BabyâI-I... please let me cum."
"What was that?"
"Spencer," she whimpered desperately. "Please. Please. Let meâfuck.. baby, please."
This time she did let out a cry.
He snarled behind her before his teeth snapped at her earlobe, tugging at the delicate skin. Her body was quaking on the bed as she whined, struggling to hold back any longer. And when she felt like she was about to lose control, he finally released her earlobe and spoke, "Go on, then. Cum for me."
A loud moan flew up out of her throat, her body pressing back into his. She felt the hard clench of her walls around his length as pleasure spread through her entire body. As the coil in her stomach grew, she couldn't help but snake a hand down to where they were connected and quickly found her throbbing sex. Catching her desperate fingers, he swatted her hand away, replacing it with his own as his fingers circled around her clit.
His rough fingers taunting their joint bodies tipped her over that tantalizing edge. She felt each pulse of her walls so acutely, felt the heat flow throughout her spine as the high she reached never came to an end. He buried his face into her neck, kissing and biting the smooth skin. A certain movement from his fingers made her whole body shake. She couldn't handle it, couldn't see through the tears falling, couldn't feel anything but him and the hot pleasure.
She finally came with a scream, wrenched from her throat so roughly it seared its way out of her lungs and into the air. She felt herself clench around him, hard, and his hips shuddered violently against her. Her ears tingled at the rhythm of his grunts as he exhaled her name, his thrusts growing erratic. Then she felt him completely, she could feel his warmth seeping into her heat as he let out the most primal groan she had ever heard.
Silence engulfed them afterward, their heart slowing down from their erratic breathing. It wasn't until he slipped out of her that she let out a tired moan, her voice echoing in the dark. He gently grabbed her body and turned her around, cradling her cheek before leaning in for a kiss.
Then slowly, but steadily, all he tasted was her. It felt like a missing puzzle falling back to its place as his warm lips connected with hers. He was so enraptured by her touch, by the taste of her, that it took a lot for him to pull away. Breathing heavily, he finally rested his head back onto his pillow, a coy smile stretched on his lips as his thumb stroked along her cheek.
"Hi."
A sincere smile flourished on her face. "Hi."
"Well, that was... something."
She laughed as she leaned closer, wrapping her arm around his waist. "It was fun."
"It really was," he agreed, suddenly feeling shy as he realized what had just occurred. "I always surprise myself when I'm with you."
"Good," she simply said. He wrapped his arms around her as she settled in his embrace. They lay in comfortable silence, her head on his chest, legs draped over him as his fingers drew lazy patterns on her thigh. Then after a moment of relishing each other's presence, his deep voice cut through the silence.
"You know," he started, his voice very soft. "You could've just woken me up if you have trouble sleeping."
She slightly leaned back to look up at him. "You looked so peaceful, I didn't want to disturb you."
"Nothing about you will ever be disturbing to me."
She wrinkled her nose. "Even if you got home from a long, exhausting trip, you wouldn't mind if I woke you up for sex?"
"I'd especially want to be woken up for that reason," he replied in disbelief. His fingers trailed under her chin, angling her gaze on him. "Wouldn't you?"
She smiled at the thought. There was a delightful feeling as her mind wandered on the possibility of him interrupting her sleep because he craved her touch. "Alright," she agreed. "Duly noted."
His arms tightened around her. "Do you think you can sleep now?"
She hummed out a positive response, her face burrowing along his skin, just beneath his chin. Her body suddenly felt the heavy post-sexual bliss, and now surrounded by his warmth, she could feel the fatigue creeping into her body.
"I was hoping so," he murmured.
Tugging the sheets up higher over their body, she felt him shifting along the bed for a minute, his arms encircling her waist. His chin was carefully tucked onto the top of her head as he drew her in tight under the covers. And when the steady rhythm of his breathing embraced her, her body finally relaxed, falling into sleep.
