Professor

Chapter 1

Emily Prentiss sat at the bar sipping on her drink leaning against the bar. Her eyes scanned the crowd, watching everyone dancing and drinking. The 18-year-old loved to go to bars with her fake I.D. and some nights, bringing someone home with her. She didn't have a roommate in her tiny little apartment, which was good for her and her one night stands. The stool next to her was empty but was soon filled by an older gentleman. She looked over at him and smiled. Turning her stool so she faced the bar and downed the rest of her drink. The man looked over and smirked. Her eyes met his as she pushed her glass towards the edge. "What is a beautiful woman like you doing at a bar like this?" He asks waving the bartender over and ordering them both a drink. She laughs and shakes her head. He thinks she looks breathtaking. Her pale skin contrasting her dark hair and red lips. "If I had a dollar for every time I have heard that line." She shakes her head and takes a drink out of the new glass placed in front of her. He continues watching her as she sips and then she looks back at him. "Why are you staring at me?" She asked confused wiping her face, thinking she smeared her lipstick. "Aaron Hotchner." He states sticking his hand out and she shook it gently. "Emily Prentiss." He gives her a nod and tells her it's a beautiful name. After a few minutes of conversing, she jumps up and pulls him off his stool. "Let's dance." She pulls him towards the dance floor, and he allows it. A fast-paced song is playing and she pulls them right to the middle of the dance floor, surrounded by a bunch of other people. She haphazardly throws her arms around his neck and moves her hips to the beat of the music. He puts his hands on her hips and follows her lead. She smirks up at him and he pulls her even closer whispering in her ear. They danced for what seems like hours. She laughed and pulled him toward the bar. She laughed out of breath and sat down. He leaned against her chair and she pulled him down into a kiss. He happily accepted it and he moved in between her legs as her hands traveled to his hair. "What do you say that we get out of here? Head to my place?" She breathes cupping the back of his head and he nods quickly. Emily gets off the stool and makes her way to the door, Hotch on her heels with his hands on her hips. He wrapped his arm tightly around her waist as they walked down the street to her small apartment building. They made their way in and stumbled into her elevator. He had Emily up against the wall kissing her deeply. She smiled into the kiss and grinds against him. They get to her floor and stumble out, just as they stumbled in. She walks to the door and had it unlocked in seconds. Once she is inside she turns around finding Aaron staring at her from the hall. "Are you going to come in or just stand there?" She gives him a sultry smile. He quickly walks in and kicks the door shut behind him. Still gazing into his eyes, she slowly unbuttons her shirt and lets it fall from her shoulders. She turns and slowly walks to her room adding an extra sway to her hips. He takes off his shirt and follows her to the bedroom in the back of the small, clean, and tidy apartment.

*weeks later*

Emily enters her little small town high school next to her best friend, Jennifer. Everyone else was catching up with their friends in the hallway but Emily and JJ have been inseparable all summer. 

"I'm going to drop off my bag in my locker. What do you have the first period?" JJ asks Emily as they turn down the hallway of their lockers for the last 3 years. "Criminal Justice." She responds back, digging through her bag to find the room number. 

Soon, the 2 girls hear the warning bell ring and they head to the class they shared to begin their day. To their surprise, they were only one seat away from each other on the seating chart displayed on the front board. Emily took her seat and pulled out her notebook, jotting her name down before the class bell rang. 

"Good morning class, I am Mr.Hotchner." Emily's breath gets caught in her throat as she slowly looked up to see the man she has slept with 3 times over the last few weeks. He went through the roster slowly, calling each kids name. Her eyes stay trained on his form and then his eyes find hers. "Emily Prentiss.." He calls slowly. Everyone in the class looking at her and him strangely for the way they were looking at each other. She quickly looked away and busied herself in her notebook.

Mr.Hotchner went through the motions of class, very awkwardly, explaining the class, going over the syllabus, and introducing himself as the new teacher at the school. As soon as the bell rang, everyone quickly filed out. Emily tried to leave with everyone quickly, but Aaron called out her name. 

He led her into his office and shut the door. "I thought you were 21!" He practically hissed at her and she dropped her head. "I thought you worked for the BAU." She said back and he just shook his head. "Not the point, Emily. The point is that I am sleeping with an 18-year-old who is now my student!" He was yelling now and Emily couldn't handle it. She gathered her things and left the office quickly, mumbling something about being late to her next class.

Later that day, Emily was driving JJ home when she told her that the older man she had been seeing turns out to be their Criminal Justice teacher for the Senior Department. JJ was shocked, to say the least. She advised Emily to end it ASAP, but Emily just nodded. She was torn. She had never felt so connected to a man before like she had when she was with Aaron. 

Aaron went home for the night and picked up his 1-year-old son from his late wife's sister-in-law. The little boy was delighted to see his father. He nuzzled into his neck and the boy giggled loudly. "Daddy loves you, Jack." He set the boy back on the floor and walked over to the fireplace to glance at the pictures. He lit the candle next to Haley's picture and took a deep breath.

They were both in some deep shit.
