Prologue

[PROLOGUE]

Hotch had been going through a tough time he had recently just lost his wife to a serial killer and he was raising his son alone so I tried my best to help him even though he pushed me away. Later that night I had been on a run when I arrived back at my apartment Hotch was waiting "hey" I said slightly out breathe as I walked over to him "hey" Hotch said with a smile it was the first time I had seen him smile in a while.

"What are you doing here" I asked confused because the last time we had spoke he lost his temper resulting in me walking out of the room in anger. "We need to talk" Hotch said which annoyed me "about what Hotch, the fact you screamed at me" I said snapping at him because I was upset with him. "I'm sorry" Hotch said stepping towards me which made me step back "I understand you're going through something terrible and I've been understanding and trying to help you, but you can't just treat people that way Hotch" I said beginning to get upset.

Before I began to walk past him as he grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him as he did our faces touched before he placed his hand on my cheek and we looked into each other's eyes. For a moment before he kissed me at first it shocked me because he had began to get close after his wife's death but I didn't realise he had feelings for me, because I had feelings for him for a long time but I pushed them aside for myself and for the team. But now I had the opportunity to tell him how I felt so kissed him back. After our kiss ended just placed the top of our heads together and stared at each other for a moment.

"I really am sorry Jo" Hotch said stroking my cheek with his finger "let's go inside it's cold" i said finally beginning to feel the cold so we headed upstairs before going into my apartment as we entered I closed and locked the door and Hotch looked around as I began to walk over to him Hotch grabbed me by the waist and pulled me towards him "where's Jack?" I asked as he began to kiss me "with a sitter" Hotch said with a smile. Before I began to kiss him back, he picked me by my waist as I wrapped my legs around his before he carried me to my room, I knew that I shouldn't have a relationship with my boss but I couldn't help myself.

As we entered my room he placed me down on my bed before taking off his shirt but as he was about to climb onto the bed with me I stopped him "I have something to say first" I said which confused Hotch "I love you Hotch" I said biting my tongue because I was nervous he wouldn't say the same thing. He took a breathe before stroking my cheek "I love you too Gustin" Hotch said with a smile which made my heart flutter "you healed me, I was broken when you forced yourself into my private life, even though I pushed you away you came back" Hotch said I could see the tears forming in his eyes.

So I wiped them away before we smiled at each other "I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner I was just stuck in my own mind" Hotch said before i leant forward grabbing the collar of his shirt and pulling him towards me as we both chuckled.
