"Hey! Does Reid seem...off today?" Garcia pulled JJ aside, looking concerned. JJ's face was hard to read: a weird mixture of sympathy and pity.
"Yeah...it's the fifteenth." The women spoke in hushed tones in the hallway outside of Garcia's office. Garcia's mouth formed a small 'o' and she took on a similar expression.
"Oh my god, Maeve..."
"Yeah." JJ pushed her hair out of her face, shifting her weight. "He says he's grieved, but it's obvious he still blames himself. I just wish there were something I could to to help."
"He blames--? Butwhy? It wasn't his fault at all!" Garcia looked horrified at the idea ofanybodyblaming Reid for his girlfriend's death, even Reid himself, especially not after three years. At the idea of JJ being able to help, however, a lightbulb was almost visible. "We should take him out!"
"What?" She laughed nervously. She and Brennan had been married for nearly seven years, but it was still sometimes difficult to forget the period of time that Spencer had had a crush on her.
"Yeah just the three of us or something. I mean Brennan can come if he wants." The techy had a way of speaking very quickly whenever she had an idea. "But I mean, take him out to a bar or a club or something to get his mind off of her. Maybe he could meet someone new!"
"Garcia, I dunno if Spence would really go for that..."
"Well we could try!"
JJ couldn't say no to the hopeful look on Garcia's face. With a sigh, she relented. "Alright, I'll ask. But the minute he says he wants to go home we let him! Deal?" She was ever-mindful of Spencer's comfort levels in social situations.
"Deal!"

"Hey Spence!" JJ passed his desk in the bullpen on the way to her office and casually stopped by. She waited until he looked up, not wanting to break his concentration. "So Garcia and I and maybe a few other people are going out tonight. Wanna come?"

Dr. Spencer Reid dreadfully sat in his chair, alone at his desk. Just as everyone on the team noticed, he was feeling rather down today. Well... feeling down was an understatement. His head slowly lifted upwards and the lights seemed all to bright, blinding him and forcing his head back down in sadness. Three years today, three years and it still hurt as much as yesterday. So many things could have been done differently on his part. Something should have been done... he doesn't know what or how or why... but it should have happened. Spencer thought he should have been able to rescue Maeve before Diane killed her. No matter how much he tried to move on, he was stuck in a never ending cycle of depression and sadness.
SSA Morgan and Reynolds have tried so hard the entire day to cheer him up from this slump. Derek and Brennan were really the closest to him on the team and they usually never failed to make him laugh. Usually, that is. On this date every year was when they failed, no matter how hard they tried.
Maeve was really his first true lover. Spencer always struggled in his life with the opposite sex. He didn't have the confidence and swagger that Morgan carried. He didn't have the good looks and social skills that Brennan had. Both men tried to give him pointers and help him out but nothing ever stuck, other than what he had with Maeve. It was a constant battle that was being fought. On one hand, he knew he had to move on from her but on the other, he just couldn't.
Right now, he pretended to stare at something because he heard footsteps. Honestly, he just wanted to avoid all social interaction if possible. When JJ spoke up, Spencer sighed and looked up to her. Why would they invite him? They should know he didn't want to go on a day like this. The lines in his forehead curled and his lips were showing a frown as well. His eyes looked sad and droopy as he stood to his feet. "No, I'll be fine." He murmured sadly, taking the files in his hand.
Garcia was with JJ because she really wanted to push the issue. "Come on Spencer, it will be fun. Everyone is going to be there. Music and food will be great. It'll be better than going home. Spend some time with the team, come on!" She beamed with a hopeful expression on her face.
As much as the socially awkward doctor wanted to stop this, he finally just gave in to make them quiet. "Sure, sure... I'll go. I'll meet everyone in the parking lot... I have something to do." He really didn't have something to do, he just needed a moment alone before regathering himself to just make it through the night.

"Okay Spence, take your time." JJ watched Garcia trot off happily before putting a hand on his shoulder. "Hey...this is gonna be good for you, you know. It'll take your mind off things." She didn't want to bring up Maeve specifically, but they both knew she knew why he was down. There was no use in pretending. "Take your time and we'll wait for you, okay?"
~*~
Themusic--a weird mix of jazz, ska, and big band--was loud and the room was dark. The food was...decent, but most people seemed to be here for the liquor. The band had made themselves up as flamboyantly-paintedsugar skulls, just to make themselves more memorable. There were people dancing, laughing, having a good time...the rest of the team just hoped that wouldn't make Spencer feel that much worse.
"How did you even find out about this place?" JJ asked, crinkling her nose a little.
"Oh I'm friends with the singer," Garcia shouted over the music, pointing to the woman on stage. "Cool band, right?"
"Uh...yeah." Morgan didn't look convinced.
gpt
When JJ tried to comfort him, Spencer just nodded and murmured a little "Thank you." before walking away. He found a little bathroom at the end of a lonely, cold corridor that was a nice place to rest and just have time to himself. While he just stood in front of the sink, he ruffled his growing hair just a bit to make it look better. The man tucked a piece behind his ear and after a few minutes had finally gathered himself and walked back outside to in his team.
Once at the bar, Spencer let out an audible sigh. The music was loud and that was good because it would cloud his thoughts and he couldn't think straight. So far, he hadn't touched any food and simply sat at the bar, only taking occasional sips of the light colored drink. So far, no one really stood out to him and he made no attempt to speak with anyone.
Beside of JJ, her husband Brennan stood with a drink in his hand. Whenever the team went out like this, they could always be found together holding hands, dancing, and drinking.
After the answer from Garcia, Morgan just shook his head and laughed. He had a few drinks already and was clearly the most buzzed of everyone so far. "You know what baby girl..." he began and stood up from the bar, looking down at the tech analyst. "What do you say we dance together? Let's have a little fun. We can't drink the entire time... just most of the time!" He chuckled, offering his hand out for Garcia to take.
While this was going on, Brennan glanced down to his wife again, taking her hand in his. "I think we should get on the dance floor too... I should probably take your dance before some other man walks in here and beats me to it." Brennan teased, setting his glass down and standing to his feet. The music blasted in his ears louder as they approached the dance floor, awfully close to the band. All eh could think about though was JJ as each hand went to her waist, keeping her close to him as they began to dance. They weren't able to do this often, but he made sure to keep their fire of love burning each chance he had.
In the mean time, Reid was still sitting to himself. About half the glass of his first drink was finished but he was starting to take notice of a particular member of the band. The mystery about her behind the sugar skulls and all the make up intoxicated him, wanting to make him see who she really was. For a brief moment, he almost forgot but then slumped right back to himself. He was a nerd, a loser. She was in a band that was playing so well and were much more interesting than him. Besides, she would only be hurt with being near him. That was shown with Maeve... but he couldn't help himself though. Second, third, and fourth glances were taken at her... he couldn't help it.

"I think having fun with my Chocolate Thunder would be the highlight of my night!" Garcia had already had a few drinks as well, though not as many as Derek, and took his hand. She had to quickly set her drink down before he led her out to the dance floor. "Man you make my knees weak when you touch me like that," she teased as he put his hands on her waist. If only he knew how often she told the truth. She grinned as she put her hands on his shoulders and danced with him by the stage, where during the bridge the singer grinned down at her and gave her a thumbs up.
Themusic changedafter a brief dedication to the singer's friend, obviously meant to egg on Garcia and Morgan. JJ danced close to Brennan, grinning. There were times when she was just so overwhelmed with love it was difficult to express how much. Leaning up she kissed her husband deeply, smiling against his lips. His hands felt so perfect on his waist, like they were made just for holding her.
"You know no one could ever take me from you," she murmured, looking up into his eyes. Those eyes she could lose herself in for hours... "I love you so much."
The band played one moresong, during which the singer kept glancing over to the bar. She'd seen Penelope over there with her friends earlier but they'd left one behind. And that one kept glancing up at her, as though trying not to get caught at it. It was cute.Hewas kinda cute. After the song they set up some music to play while they took a break between sets. Most of the band went back to the greenroom, but Daliah went to the bar instead, taking a seat one stool down from the man who'd been looking at her. After ordering her drink she looked over at him.
"Haven't seen you here before," she remarked casually.
gpt
"Oh, I'd like to make your knees weak in more ways than one, my best blessing in my life." Although he was obviously a bit drunk, Derek didn't stutter on his words and he was rather coherent as his tolerance level was high from all his years of partying. As they danced along, he held her close looking into her eyes the whole time, barely even recognizing her looking at the singer.
When the music changed, Brennan was happy that it allowed him and his wife such close contact. It wasn't as noisy as the first song but they still had to speak quite loud to be heard. Kissing her back, Brennan closed his eyes and just relaxed with the feeling of her soft lips against his. He could never get tired of those lips nor those eyes. "Yes, I know that no one could ever take you from me... but those men don't know that." he chuckled and moved his hands from her waist so he could simply wrap his arms around her body and hug her while they danced. "But I love you more." He cooed into her ear, pulling back to rest his hands on her waist once again.
After the next song was over, Spencer was still sitting at the bar. He turned towards the drink since the woman was no longer on the stage, giving him no reason to look that way. He continued to loathe himself as he finished up the glass and set it to the side, denying the offer of another drink from the bartender. Suddenly, someone was speaking to him and his breath hitched in his throat. A cold chill ran along his spine and he had goosebumps. There she was. "Uh... hi... yeah, I don't get out much." He mumbled and shook his head. It was clear that he struggled socially. The war he was fighting in his mind made it even worse.
"You uh... played... really well.. it was good, I liked it... it was nice." Clearing his throat, he glanced back down quickly. God, this happened all the time! He tried to talk to her but he said the same exact thing like three times. He felt so embarrassed and wouldn't be surprised if she laughed in his face. He was used to it though so it didn't matter, he supposed.
Now the music was done and Brennan stood with JJ. "Ah, look Spencer is talking to someone now..." he spoke and nodded to the man. "Let's give him his privacy. Don't want to interrupt it." Morgan chimed in when he saw it. "Let's just take our women to the side and let Spencer have his fun." The tall, older agent spoke as he looked to Garcia with a little wink.
Brennan chuckled at that, taking JJ's hand again, leading her towards one of the empty seats on the bar. When he took his seat though, he didn't let her choose her seat. He decided for her and pulled her into his lap.

Garcia giggled as Derek called her the best blessing in his life, though it may have been hard to tell that that was from nerves. She winked back up at Daliah as she was given a thumbs up but otherwise didn't show any sort of acknowledgement: she was focused entirely on Derek Morgan. The song ended and music was queued up over the speakers to play while the band took a break, but the others decided to take one as well. Garcia smiled slyly when Morgan suggested they take them to the side.
"Does that mean I'm your side woman?" she teased, bumping him a little with her hip. She then looked over, however, and saw who it was Spencer was talking with. "Oh. Em. Gee. That's Daliah! Ugh! They would begreattogether! She'd really bring him out of his shell and I'm doing it again aren't I? I'm pairing people up before they even know it themselves."
"Yeah, you're doing it," JJ chuckled, a little tipsy. "Not that it would be a bad idea, mind you. I mean, heneedsto get back on the horse." She looked up at Brennan and kissed him deeply. "Or he'll never find someone as wonderful to him as you are to me." She grinned and whooped a little as her husband pulled her into his lap. "Best seat in the house!" she declared before ordering another drink. She wrapped her arm around Brennan's neck to keep from sliding and wiggled a little in his lap in an attempt to subtly tease him.
The singer laughed, though not at him. "You can tell me if you think it's crap, you know," she said honestly. "Or is it the face paint? It's the face paint, isn't it?" It was a little difficult to tell, but she was smiling good-naturedly under the visage of a skull. "I'm Daliah." She leaned against the bar as she took a sip of her drink. The guy was adorable in his awkwardness! "I saw you come in with Penny. You FBI too?"

When Morgan had Garcia to the side, his hands were back onto her hips. "Mmm... not many people know what kind of a hot mama we have in that little room." Derek cooed to her with a suave wink. With what position they were standing in, not too many voices could be heard. The corner of this bar was more private. Undoubtedly, that was a very good thing. "You make my world light up whenever I get a call from you, ya know?" He asked, taking another drink and sipping it down again, shifting closer to Garcia while a warm feeling started buzzing in his chest.
Brennan noticed that JJ was a little tipsy now, and so was he. Things got quite fun when they were tipsy to be honest so he ordered them another drink and then another. A few drinks later, he was holding her in his lap and his breath was a mix of the liquor that they were drinking and the food that they ordered earlier. On his lips, a bit of JJ's lipstick was smudged but it was a stain he'd gladly wear. "I don't know... I think my seat is better. I mean, a sexy woman on my crotch... a sexy woman that's wiggling against my crotch... I think that's a pretty nice seat." He laughed and kissed her again, even letting one hand slip down to her butt and give it a nice squeeze. Ass grabbing was one of his favorite things to do actually. It could be done anywhere at any time. It was a nice little gesture and her butt really felt nice in his hands.
"Oh no, it's not crap and I like the face paint... it's really original and cool... that must take a long time to finish, right?" This answer didn't come from Spencer until he regathered himself before speaking. When she spoke of her name, he quivered in anticipation. Do something, Spencer He basically yelled in his mind before clearing his throat. "Yes, I am agent Dr. Spencer Reid... uh I'm not a real doctor. I just have couple doctorate degrees... just call me Spencer though, you don't have to call me Doctor if you don't want. Spencer is fine." Again, he cut himself off. He was rambling again. How miserable?! When the bartender walked by, Spencer got a sudden spark of courage. "Uh, I'd like to give this woman another drink. On me." He said with a smile.
Oh god, he was so worried. Did he seem pushy to order her another drink? Did she think he was trying to get her drunk. Better than just sitting there like a rock, he supposed. "So uh... how often do you guys play?" He asked, hoping she wouldn't have some negative reaction.

Garcia giggled again, but her heart started pounding a bit faster. She neededwaymore alcohol for this! Sometimes it was hard for her to know where their workplace flirting stopped and her own personal feelings and hopes began. This was most definitely one of those times.
"Well Sugar Shack, I like to light up every part of your world," she crooned back, unsure of what else to say. He always got a little touchy when he drank, but this was...really something else. Morgan's breath was warm on her ear and neck and she scooted back a little to lean back against his chest. Garcia sipped her drink in a studiedly casual way, trying not to let onto her excitement.
JJ grinned when Brennan started getting handsy. She loved it when her husband touched her, especially her breasts and her ass. "Well I can wiggle a little more if you want..." she offered in a seductive tone. He grabbed her ass and she took that as an acceptance to her invitation, bracing her feet on one of the rungs of the bar stool to give her better stability as she began to grind against Brennan's crotch. She looked over her shoulder at him and winked in that sexy, come-hither sort of way, waiting for him to make another move.
"Yeah takes a couple hours. Mostly it's the design that's the problem; the white and the nose and teeth don't take too long usually." Daliah could tell he was struggling a little and gave him time to gather himself. In the meantime she started idly sketching something on a napkin with a borrowed pen. When he introduced himself she wasn't terribly surprised: he was exactly the way Penelope had described him, which was to say absolutely adorable. Then, much to her surprise, he ordered a drink for her.
"Well thank you very much, Agent Doctor Spencer Reid," she returned with a smile, sipping the drink he'd bought her after folding up the napkin. "We're here every Friday night. So it's that much not-crap, huh?" She winked behind the paint. A whistle caught her attention and she looked around to see one of her band mates gesturing to her from a doorway. Delilah sighed theatrically before downing the rest of her drink. "I gotta go do my second set. It was very nice meeting you, Spencer." She reached out to shake his hand, and when she drew her own away the folded-up napkin was in his palm. On it was written her name and phone number.

"Oh, you always light up my world no matter what. Let me light yours up too." Morgan whispered into her ear and with a sudden movement forward, he pressed a kiss to her lips. Sure, he kissed her before but those were on her cheeks and forehead and no where special. But this was different. Right onto her lips. It was a brief moment before he let go and looked down at her. A drunken kiss together. All great stories begin like this.
When JJ began to grind harder against his crotch, Brennan couldn't help himself. His member was growing rock hard against her and she undoubtedly should be able to feel it. That wink spoke many words to him and he boldly moved his other hand that was not on her ass, to grab her breasts. He took her right breast in his hand while starting to fondle the skin through her clothes. That was his next move. "How about we play a little game?" He whispered, feeling their bodies grow closer together. "We'll buy a few more drinks... we kiss before we take a drink. Whoever pulls back first for air has to down the glass." He told her with a wide smirk on his face. Just the thought made feelings of love and arousal fill his body. Many people said that once a couple got married and had kids, their love lie wasn't spicy or fun. Well, those people don't know JJ and Brennan.
Every Friday night? Spencer could get used to this... it was so--- oh.. she's leaving. He cursed silently and thought that was the end of it. Take the drink and leave Delilah, that's what's... hold up... He got her name and number? Did this really happen. So many emotions ran through Spencer. He was happy and overcome with joy. Getting a woman's number was a huge accomplishment for Spencer, especially if he didn't even ask for it in the first place. But then again, it felt wrong. It felt so wrong. This was the anniversary of Maeve's death. It seemed so disrespectful. Part of him thought he should just toss it in the trash but this was a once in a lifetime chance.
His eyes scanned the bar. He saw Morgan with Garcia while JJ was on Brennan's lap- that wasn't unusual. Hm, everyone seemed occupied, so he just sat there and waited, putting the napkin in his pocket. He would think about it, but maybe she would have a chance to talk after the second set. He could stay here a while. Like Garcia said it was better than sitting at home.
human
Fireworks exploded in Garcia's brain. She had been waiting for this...wanting this...foryears.She'd even dated other people to get her mind off of Derek Morgan, but of course it never worked. And now here he was finallykissing her!It was a second or two before she could kiss back, but even if they were both drunk she wasn't going to miss this opportunity.Live in the now and tomorrow will take care of itself.It seemed like forever but she knew it was quicker than that when he finally pulled back. They looked at each other for several very long, very quiet moments.
"Wow..." It was the only thing running through her head. It was the only thing she could say, was just wow.
As she moved against her husband, JJ felt Brennan growing harder against her and grinned at the sensation. Eventually he just grabbed her breasts, right there in public. But public displays were only that much more exciting, and she wasn't wearing a bra. She leaned her forehead against his cheek as he suggested a game, then grinned as she let her hand drift into his lap.
"I love games," JJ purred back, nibbling at his lip. "Let's go!" Without any more warning than that she crushed a kiss against his lips, sliding her hand to his cheek and trying to outlast him.
The second set went just as well as the first, though toward the end the bandslowedit down to let people wind down and bring the night to a close. Daliah thanked the club-goers as people began to leave and the club started looking like it was closing up. She came out of the green room laughing with the rest of the band, but stopped by Spencer on her way out, still covered in makeup. After her eyes flicked up and down the bar, taking in the scene, she looked at him.
"Listen, I have to get home pretty quickly...but do you want a ride?" she asked. "Looks like the people you came with kinda have their own thing going on and aredefinitelytoo loaded to drive. It'd probably be a pretty awkward taxi ride."
gpt
"Yeah, that felt good didn't it baby girl?" Let's just head on out now... get us a taxi and head on over to my place. You shouldn't stay alone tonight... there are mean people out in the world..." Morgan whispered into her ear, eagerly dragging her out of the bar and fetching a taxi to take them home.
Brennan was excited to hear that JJ wanted to play the game so he ordered four drinks, all heavy as usual and he was kissing JJ. It was so fun to get drunk with her, it always led for fun nights. He kept his lips locked on hers, head tilting and he didn't just keep his lips closed, no, he wanted to make out with her and be that couple that everyone hates because he didn't care what anyone else thought. His tongue was shoved into her mouth, pinning down her tongue and showing his dominance with his mouth. A little moan left as his hands didn't even move from either parts of her body. If one thing was clear tonight, this man and woman were both happily taken and Brennan did not want to be outlasted. His lungs burned from the lack of air but he kept kissing her, he was going to win and get her as drunk as he can.
Spencer would be the only one from the team to still be paying attention to the band. This time, he didn't hide his glanced at Delilah unless she looked at him, in which case he'd hurriedly looked down to try and cover it up but it wasn't of much use. When she offered a ride, he couldn't help the dorky smile that took over his face and he nodded. "Yeah, you're right. I'll go with you, thanks." He chuckled and walked with her outside. "So, every Friday, right? I'll make sure to stop by when I can... and I'll definitely give you a call. Maybe next Friday, we can hang out after your performance?" He couldn't beleive it, he just asked her out after she was done performing next Friday. "That is, if you don't have plans.. I don't want to make you miss anything. Just if you aren't busy, I thought maybe it would be fun if you thought it could be fun too... It hink it could be fun..." There he goes again, mixing up words and just screwing up any social interaction he tries. Maybe hed get better with practice so this was a step in the right direction.

Garcia willingly and eagerly followed Derek out to the curb to wait for a taxi. "Oh I know how mean people can be," she murmured back. "I think I need my muscle man to keep me safe tonight." She grinned as she trailed kisses up his chest until a cab pulled out in front of the bar. Giddy she slid inside and pulled Derek with her before giving his address to the driver.
The problem with playing games with Brennan is he was always convinced he would win. JJ happened to be just as competitive and groaned against his mouth, pulling him against her by the lapels of his shirt. She took slow, deep breaths through her nose though that didn't help much. Still, she was determined that she should win at least the first round. Her hand gently cupped the bulge in her husband's pants as she deepened the kiss further, trying to break his concentration.
Daliah had smiled each time she looked over and caught Spencer looking at her. Outside she took his arm to guide him down the block where she was parked. It was a beat-up old station wagon, but she ran just fine most of the time. She unlocked the passenger's side for Spencer before carefully stepping out to her own side. Next Friday...may have been an issue. She smiled though, happily encouraging him.
"I actually have to get home after my Friday performances," she answered a bit sheepishly, shifting nervously. It was the first time she'd seemed nervous around him. "But Saturday I should be free. What did you have in mind?" The engine turned over a few times before finally starting and Daliah carefully pulled out into traffic. They had gone a few blocks before she realized she didn't know where she was going. "Oh yeah...where do you live?"
gpt
To say that JJ touching his bulge distracted Brennan would be a massive understatement. Of course, his favorite thing in the world was JJ with no clothes on. The second favorite thing would be having her touching him, anywhere. Her touch was so seductive and it made him melt. Sometimes, she could get him hotter with just her hands than any words. It was a good, long fight but Brennan pulled back finally while he was just heaving and huffing. "Damn, I see how it's going to be." He chuckled, grabbing the glass and quickly downing the drink. Wanting to catch her off guard, he slammed their lips together after a quick whisper of "Round Two." While he kissed her, he melted in hearing their lips moving in sync along with smelling that perfume that she used. His fingers even slipped inside of her pants as he pressed delicate touches against her underwear, trying to rub her clit through the material, wanting to throw her off track as well.
When Daliah linked their arms together, the awkward and adorable smile spread back on Spencer's face. It had been so long since such a comforting touch had been received from a woman. He finally felt at peace and he could just forget for a brief second about what keeps him up every night, tossing and turning with restlessness. When she said that Friday was no good, he frowned and feared he did something wrong. She kept talking though and he listened.
"Well, maybe we could you know.. go out to eat? On a date? We can go to Roman's Italian Restaurant on Church Street. Are you familiar with it? Maybe we can get to know each other... I want to know more about you than your name, that you sing, and that you're really... pretty..." He felt so awkward giving her a compliment, afraid it sounded so dumb and pathetic.
"I live on Kings Road. That little apartment complex beside the grocery store." Spencer added with a smile when she asked where she lived. "Thank you for the ride... I really appreciate it. I will definitely call you though... maybe I can check on you this week and see if you'd still be free on Saturday?" He asked softly and looked at her.

JJ laughed. "Of course that's how it's gonna be! That's how it always is, you just get too drunk to forget." She grinned as he downed the first drink, but made a noise as he attacked her, catching her off-guard. Then his fingers slipped inside her pants and she moaned, enjoying the feel of his touch in such intimate places. She could never get tired of the way he touched her! And that was the problem. This round was much shorter as she pulled away to catch her breath.
"Alright, alright...no more attacking like that," she laid down the ground rule before taking her required drink. "Or else this game won't last very long. Alright round 3." JJ leaned in and attached herself to her husband once more, sliding her tongue between his lips and caressing the inside of his mouth with it.
Daliah smiled when he paid her the compliment. "Well, being pretty with a shit-load of makeup on isn't always a vote of confidence, but I'll take it anyway. Thank you." She turned around the block, heading towards Kings Road. "I'd really like that. A date, I mean. I've been to a few of the Italian restaurants around here, but I don't think I've ever been to Roman's. I'm looking forward to it." Daliah glanced at him out of the corner of her eye before reaching out to toussel his hair. Quickly she drew her hand back, as though she'd been shocked.
"I'm sorry!" she apologized quickly. "I'm so sorry, I know that's a personal space thing, I should've asked. Your hair it just...it looks so touchable." She giggled nervously as they turned down Kings Road and she slowed to find Spencer's complex. "I uh...I'd still love for you to call. And that date. You know, if I haven't weirded you out with the hair thing."
gpt
It seemed that Brennan was victorious for this round. She pulled back and downed her drink while laying down the ground rule. "Heh, alright, alright. I'll play fair now if you do." He teased and titled his head to look into her eyes. At this point, Brennan was paying absolutely no attention to anyone else at this bar. He hadn't even realized their fellow team members seemed to be gone already. When round three began, Brennan tilted his head the opposite way of his wife's and began kissing her again. The kiss was still just as fiery and passionate as every kiss before. His hands caressed her cheeks in his so he could deepen the kiss, letting her tongue into his mouth.
He still showed his dominance though, pinning her tongue down with his even when her tongue entered into his own mouth. Both hands now moved back to her ass, pressing his body hard against hers which in turned pinned her body between his body and the bar. He had JJ dipped over slightly so he could make the kiss even more passionate because he forgot about the game. All he was doing or could care about during this moment was kissing her and he just concentrated on her mouth and her lips because that's what the most important thing in the world was to him at the moment.
Suddenly, Daliah reached her hand to touch his hair and it even surprised Spencer. If she was going to give him any touch at all, he expected a smack or a slap. What did he do to deserve a gentle touch like this? When she apologized, he raised his brow and shook his head. Her giggle was the most adorable thing he ever heard, though and his mind was racing with thoughts about going on a date wit her. "No, no don't apologize... I liked you touching my hair... I hope that doesn't sound weird but... you can touch my hair whenever you would like." Spencer commented with a small smile on his lips.
"It's just here on the left." He pointed and once she arrived, stepped out of the car. Walking to the driver's side of the car, he peered in the window and smiled. "Thank you so much, Deliah. I will definitely call you later this week. Have a good night, drive safe, okay?" He whispered and gave her a little smile before stepping back and moving his hand to his pocket, just touching the napkin she had given him with her name and number. For the first time in a long time, Spencer smiled a wide smile, just like the Spencer a few years ago would do.

JJ groaned against her husband's kiss. She loved being dominated by him, even in the small ways. He seemed to forget all about the game and she mostly did too, until their kiss reached its natural closing. Pulling back a little, she looked into his eyes through a haze of lust and love before brushing a lock of hair out of his face. She smiled, overwhelmed with love.
"Why don't you say you and me call it a draw and get out of here?" she suggested, her voice husky as her eyes roamed his face. There was something lascivious in her expression. If they could have torn one another's clothes off here and now without getting arrested, she would have.
Daliah grinned when Spencer said she could touch his hair. "It's not weird," she promised. "I'd say you could touch mine too, but right now it's got a bunch of gel and hairspray and crap in it, so it probably wouldn't be very nice to touch." Indeed, keeping long, heavy hair such as hers invictory rollstook a lot of product and styling time. Reaching over, she tousseled his hair again, smiling as she ran it through her fingers.
Eventually the time came for him to get out, though. She pulled up close to the curb and rolled down her window when it became apparent he was coming over to her side. Daliah couldn't remember smiling this much in one night for a long time. She was excited for him to call, and even more excited about their date. Blowing him a kiss out the window as she drove away, she smiled cheekily before making her way home. Now all she had to do was make arrangements for Saturday night.

***Next Saturday***
The next week at work was an easier one for Spencer Reid. His mood was generally better because the date that Maeve was killed had passed along with the fact he got Daliah's number. He called her on Thursday to double check if all things were a go, and it was. Garcia was excited about the news, telling the entire team about it though told them to keep it a secret.
After Brennan and JJ left the bar on Friday, they definitely had some wild fun back home, all while keeping quite from Henry of course. This entire week, it just ook one look between the married couple and they would know what the other was thinking, all about their fun night at the bar. He couldn't wait to do it again.
It was seven o'clock in the evening and Spencer showed up to Daliah's house. He was not a minute late and just a few minutes early. The doctor was dressed in a nice polo and vest with khaki dress pants and black dress shoes. He spent such a long time deciding on what cologne to wear, wanting this date to be perfect. After a few moments of convincing himself to not run away, he knocked on the door, waiting for an answer.
Brennan and JJ were spending the Saturday night at home with their seven year old boy Henry. At the current moment, Brennan was working out in the little area of their house he expanded onto years ago to make a weight room. He'd make sure his son was happy and healthy and strong. Already Henry was excelling in flag football and school, looking like he would be a perfect student and athlete as he grew older. Brennan wasn't sure what JJ was up to. Right now, he was shirtless, just wearing his workout shorts and boxers underneath as he took some repititions on his own bench, then guided Henry on a kids bench press to help build up strength. They were truly such a nice, happy family as the atmosphere was cheery and perfect all the time it seemed.

Daliahwas nervous. It was her first date in a few months and though Spencer had come by the bar the night before, he'd still never seen her without the skull makeup. Confidence was easy when she didn't look like her; it was like hiding behind a mask. Now that they were actually going to have as much time as they wanted to talk face-to-face...well, it was a little more nervewracking. After all, she took her piercings out for each gig; what if he was one of those traditional types? Her bedroom floor was littered with all of the clothes she'd been trying on for the past few hours and she had finally settled on a simpledresswhich was form-fitting and showed plenty of leg without being slutty, pairing it withshoesto give herself at least four more inches. Hewaspretty tall, after all. She had to hurry to dab on perfume in a rush as there was a knock at the door.
"Hey!" Daliah smiled, before stepping out. At the edges of the fabric of her outfit bits of tattoos could occasionally be seen poking out as she walked down the porch steps with him. "Glad you found it alright. I know it's a bit of the drive, being outside the city." Her heart pounded. God she was nervous! "So ah...you said we were going to Roman's?"
JJ leaned against the door, watching Brennan help Henry. This really was the life. "There's my two handsome men," she said from the doorframe with a smile. "Hey kiddo, how's pizza sound for dinner?"
"Yeah!!" Henry responded enthusiastically by jumping up from the bench and jumping up and down. JJ chuckled.
"Alright, well go get washed up while I call it in." She nudged him off toward the bathroom before stepping into the weight room. "And don't you lookparticularlysexy," she purred, lowering her voice so Henry wouldn't hear.
gpt
Saying that Spencer was nervous had to be a massive understatement. While Daliah may not have had a date in months, Spencer hasn't had a date for years. Ever since the death of his former girlfriend, Maeve, he just couldn't bring himself to talk to another girl. Part of it was his natural shyness and feeling like he would be a failure, while the other half was him unable to move on from her. Not a day went by when he didn't think about her or think about that moment when he found her lying dead on the ground without a chance to say goodbye. His heart still hurt but he refused to seek counseling about it. To be honest, no kind of counseling could help him overcome such a tragedy. He was such a fragile soul sometimes, he didn't want to relive it over and over again.
When the door opened, he sucked in a quick breath of anxiety. For the first time, he saw Daliah without her makeup. She was so gorgeous . Gorgeous enough to take that breath he sucked in right back out in a shaky exhale and to make him feel weak in his knees. The scent of her perfume met his nose and she smelled like perfection, though perhaps he was a little biased with her. "Oh yeah... I missed the street to begin with." He blushed, wondering if he should have even said so. "Yeah... Roman's. Let's go. I'mm really excited." He admitted, getting the courage to link their arms together again just as they did last Friday and last night when leaving the bar she played. He knew his manners and held the door for her to get into his car. The walk to the driver's side felt like it took forever somehow, but that was just his nerves bothering him.
It made Brennan smile when JJ walked into the weight room. Hearing her talk and seeing his son's reaction made his world turn. After Henry was gone to the bathroom, Brennan stepped towards JJ and smirked at her. "Hmm, thank you." he whispered and let his arms link around her body while he kissed her ear. "I would say the same about you, but you're always particularly sexy. Even in the mornings when you have your cute little bedhead and your morning breath... you're sexy." he winked after speaking in a whisper, pulling her into his chest again. He pecked her lips a couple times before pulling away. "I'm going to wash up in the bathroom upstairs. Be back in a second." After saying this, he started to walk away but suddenly turned. He grabbed her and laughed, pulling her in for one more kiss and setting her back down before finally getting on his way towards the stairs.

Daliah linked her arm with his as they walked down the drive to his car. Gracefully she slid into the passenger's seat and waited for him to get in. The car ride there was all nervous small talk as she plucked anxiously at the split in her skirt. Her stomach was still twisted into knots when they arrived; the butterflies just wouldn't seem to settle! Once they were in their seats at a secluded table for two, she leaned in a little.
"So, Spencer," she started, looking him over. He really did look great. "Tell me about you. What do you do when you're not out catching bad guys?"
She ordered a glass of wine--nice but not too expensive--along with her water when the waiter came by. The menu all looked too tempting.
JJ flushed and looked aside when Brennan mentioned her morning breath. But he pulled her into his chest and pecked her lips, causing her to grin again. "Alright, but hurry ba--oh!" JJ made a noise of surprise as he suddenly turned back and picked her up. Once he set her back down she sat on the bench, looking after him. It was only when he was out of sight that she picked up the phone to call for pizza. After all, she couldn't disappoint her son now that he had his hopes up.
gpt
Spencer was truly just as nervous as his partner, if not more nervous. As much as he wanted to try and relax and just be himself he couldn't do it. It was just so worrisome and caused him so much preoccupation. He did alright with the small talk though and things were going well so far, he thought. After they got to the restaurant, he walked her inside happily and took their seat. He ordered a similar glass of wine, figuring he shouldn't just stick to water this time. For the food, he ordered a plate of spaghetti with garlic bread while thinking of how to respond. "Well, there's not too much to me I guess. I like to play chest and read books. I don't watch too much television or anything. I like to just sit outside sometimes... I want to try and be less boring though. Oh, I have an eidetic memory so that's really fun. What about you? What do you do when you are not singing?"
While Brennan was upstairs, he washed his hands, washed his face and dried off the sweat. He pulled on a white t-shirt and put on some cologne. When he was done, he returned downstairs to Henry. Quickly, he scooped down and picked him up, carrying him around the house and laughing. It had no point and it was aimless, but it made their son smile so he didn't care. After JJ had called in the pizza, he sat him down in the living room where his school work was. "Okay Henry, go ahead and start on your homework buddy." He told him and nodded. He wasn't going to let him be a procrastinator. He always said that it would be good to get the work done before Sunday night so he'd have more time. While leaving him to do his work, he walked back to find JJ hanging up with the phone. Again, he pulled her into his chest and smiled. "Do I smell better?" He chuckled, starting to stroke her hair, making sure she got a good smell as he was wearing her favorite type of cologne he buys.
human
"I don't think you're boring," Daliah insisted as he told her what he did for fun. She ordered the chicken parmigiana when the waiter came back by. "And an eidetic memory must really befascinating.I wish I had one sometimes!" She shook her head when he asked what she did when she wasn't singing. "Singingisfor fun, it's just really nice to get paid for it. Not much, mind you, but some. This will probably sound silly to someone like you, but...I'm actually an herbalist." Daliah looked down briefly at him before looking up again with an embarrassed sort of smile. "I sell bulk herbs, spices, and teas. I'm pretty well-versed in herblore so I can help people get what they need."
She fidgeted a little as she weighed her options. "On top of that I like to read also. I also dance and am a full-time mom to a beautiful six-year-old little girl." Daliah watched him, waiting for it. She waited for the accusations that she'd mislead or tricked him, or that she'd been hiding that, waited for him to get up and leave. A lot of men, she found, didn't like seriously dating single moms. They didn't want the responsibility that came with having a kid, just the sex with her.
JJ cuddled up into Brennan's chest and grinned. "Mmm much better." She tilted her face against his chest and took a deep breath. "I can't wait to get you alone tonight..." She always wanted her husband, of course, but was reluctant for quickies around the house now that Henry was old enough. She preferred to wait until he was asleep, which was never terribly late anyway. Bedtime was nearing, and she couldn't wait.
gpt
"Well, I think that's really cool." he told her about the herbs and when she spoke about her daughter, he simply smiled at her and didn't make a negative expression about her being a mother. "Then your daughter is lucky to have such an amazing mother. I don't have children though I do like kids. Maybe... Maybe some time when we've known each other longer and when you're comfortable with it, I could come over to your house and meet with her and in turn, spend more time with you?" Spencer was speaking before he even knew the words were coming out of his mouth. It's so unlike him to find the courage to speak up with something this big, but from the time she began talking about herself until now, he decided to go all in with this. If it fails, then fuck it. But he'd rather know that he gave it his all than live with regret. He hoped that by saying that, she could see he would be up for meeting her daughter and if it meant they became a couple and started to date officially, then he wouldn't mind taking on the role of helping her raise the child. "Can you tell me her name?" he asked softly, hoping it didn't seem like he was encroaching on her life. That's the least thing he wanted to do.
When JJ cuddled up to him, Brennan just laughed. "Oh, I think we both feel that way." He whispered into her ear. "I'll make sure we have even more fun than last Friday." He added with a little wink, kissing her on the lips again. While it was true they couldn't have quickies like they used to but they still made time for one another. "And I have plans for you, my sexy woman. Very fun plans." He whispered and pulled back slowly A few minutes later and the pizza arrived so he answered the door, paid the money and took the pizza into the dining room and got Henry. "It's time to eat buddy. We got you some pepperoni pizza!" Henry beamed excitedly, heading to the table towards his seat while Brennan helped gather all the plates and napkins they need.
human
She was, in a word, shocked. She shifted in her seat a little as he suggested he could meet her once they knew each other a little better. Daliah smiled. "I'd really like that," she admitted. "I'm just glad you didn't, you know...turn tail, or accuse me of deception or anything. If things don't work out I want it to be because of me, not because of her, y'know? That's not fair to put on a kid."
In all honesty it was a little sexy. A man who was a man, not a boy, who was willing to help raise another man's child...well, as she'd gotten older Daliah had found responsibility very attractive in a man. Then he actually took an interest in her instead of changing the topic. Maybe Agent Doctor Spencer Reid would be a keeper after all...
"Her name is Nora," she answered. "She's in first grade and her favorite things are glitter and nerf guns. It's usually a small miracle the house is ever clean." Daliah laughed a little. "Her ah...her dad died before she had even turned a year. Murdered. They never caught the bastard." She lowered her eyes for a moment before raising them again, not wanting to bring down the mood. "But once we know each other better I'm sure you two would get along just fine. She likes meeting new people, so don't be surprised if she just runs up and hugs you." A smile brightened her features again as they talked about her daughter. It felt good to get that out right up front and not have him turn the other way.
"Mmm...more fun thanthat?" JJ raised an eyebrow. They'd gotten into some kinky stuff last Friday. She kissed her husband back before trailing more kisses down his neck to his shoulder. Unfortunately, that was when the pizza chose to arrive.
With her family seated at the table and plates being passed around, JJ couldn't help but look at them. It really was the perfect life. Well, minus the real-life monsters she dealt with in her work. But that's what home and family were for. So many people didn't make it, and she understood why...but she thanked her lucky stars every day for the family she had and the way they had all handled hers and Brennan's job.
gpt
Daliah seemed to be opening up to Spencer and that brought a smile to his face. It quickly faltered when she said that the father was murdered and the murderer was never caught. It made him want to go on a personal vigilante mission. Well, not vigilante in murdering terms but he wanted to find the killer. He wouldn't be surprised if he called Garcia at some point to get files on one of these cases. He just had to find the name and see what happened.
"I'm so sorry to hear that about her father... I know how it is to lose someone you love. The reason I don't date much... well the reason I don't date at all until you convinced me was because my last girlfriend. Her name was Maeve and she was murdered. I tried to save her but I couldn't. It was three year ago and it still hurts because I got there too late. I thought that I would never enjoy myself again but then I met you. So full of life and happiness with a daughter that you love very much. I really do like you Daliah and all of this means more to me than you can imagine. I want to make you happy. That's all I want now." he told her with a little smile.
"Speaking of nerf guns..." Spencer spoke as he was helping the mood to happy. "I used to collect them all the time I was a kid. I still have them actually. Maybe next Friday when I come by the bar, I will bring my collection for you to give to Nora. I'm sure she would love them. They're classic." He chuckled softly, takinga sip of his drink. It was a long time since he spoke about Maeve but he felt like he could open up to her and that made him so comfortable.
As Brennan and his family ate dinner, they made sure to keep the talk going, chatting about their week ahead, Henry's school, and anything else. Their bedtime for the boy was nine on the weekday and nine-thirty on the weekend. Of course, it would be bumped up as he got older but they wanted to make sure he got good sleep. It also gave them time for alone time which Brennan had to admit, he was very much looking forward to.
When the meal was over, Henry went to finish up the last part of his homework before heading to his room to watch TV. While that was going on, Brennan helped his wife clean up. He was always quite the helpful husband, putting in equal work with JJ to keep the house clean and happy. Of course since they were alone, he'd give her a few sensual touches every now and then when he walked behind her to dry a plate.
human
Daliah frowned a little as Spencer opened up to her about Maeve. She sighed and nodded, looking into her wineglass briefly. "Yeah when Ryan--my husband--died...I didn't feel like I was ever going to be happy again," she admitted. "It's been almost six years and sometimes I'll still roll over in bed expecting him to be laying there. It took a few years for me to get back out there, too." She looked up though and smiled. "But I'm glad you did decide to put yourself out there. And I'mreallyglad it was with me."
She was grateful for the topic change though. She laughed and shook her head. "Bring them by, but if anything breaksyou'repaying for it," she teased. "I hardly have anything breakable left in the house anyway. It all got broken or put away. I'll be glad for the weapons though. Kinda hard to win against a quick little first grader when you've got a gun this big." Daliah held her hands about four inches apart. "It'll be nice to get back at her for once. I don't think Santa's gonna be bringing her any more ammo this year." She laughed and shook her head, grateful when the food arrived. "I'm starving! Nora had to go to a birthday party earlier and we had to get a present last minute, so all I've eaten today is cheap, dry pizza and even cheaper cake." She was grateful as she cut her chicken, savoring it. "Mmm...It's a sleepover, though, so I'll at least have the house to myself."
Oh God did that...did it sound like she was inviting him to stay the night?? Not that she would complain if he did but on thefirst date? She didn't want Spencer to think she was a slut! But she didn't see any way to backpedal out of this.
JJ had always been thankful that Brennan had been her equal partner in all things, including the household chores. As he touched her while they did dishes she couldn't help but squirm a little. He always knew just where to get her. Once the dishes were done, she dragged him into the living room onto the couch.
"Youare very mean," she purred as she pulled him down with her, cuddling into him and kissing his neck. "Henry isn't even asleep yet...getting me all worked up like that."
gpt
Spencer happily listened to her stories about her daughter and about how things would be broken. It was so nice to relax, to truly relax. Finally, his mind wasn't clouded with negative, sad thoughts. He didn't feel an overwhelming depression or sadness, he didn't feel like he was doing a dishonor to Maeve. He knew she would want him to move on and be happy rather than spending his life alone just because she was gone. Of course, he knew that he could never replace Ryan for Daliah but he could try to make her happy and that's all that really mattered, right? When she spoke about a sleep over, he smiled and started eating the spaghetti. "Well, at least you get a break then." He chuckled to himself. She never said anything about him coming over and he wasn't very good about hints if she was dropping one.
He wasn't going to ask her because he did understand a bit about social norms in that sense. Though, unknowingly, he played into the concept even more. "Yeah, I spend all my nights alone so it's always fun for me when I'm with someone. Maybe after dinner, I can keep you company for a few minutes if you wouldn't mind? I know you probably don't want me staying the night but I'd like to spend some more time with you... just this dinner won't do justice." He explained with a geeky smile again before looking back down to his food, fearing he said too much or too little. He was so afraid to ask about spending the night because she might think all he wanted was to have her body but he also feared if he didn't ask to stay, that he would lose her to someone else and he didn't want that, so he got a nice medium, to just keep her company for a bit and see what happens from there.
Once JJ and Brennan were on the couch, he chuckled as he held the blonde woman in his arms. "Oh, I'm sorry dear. Don't fret, you only have about an hour and half before we can get started. I've got so many kinky plans for you, Agent Jareau. You can expect to be all tied up for me tonight." He winked at her playfully. Brennan really did love his bondage to be honest. Nothing got him hotter than seeing her cuffed to the bed and watching her squrim while he toys with her body. They both seemed to enjoy it though and it kept a nice fire in their love life and never let it get boring. "That is of course unless that doesn't appeal to you... and you don't want to be dominated by your husband." He chuckled, kissing under her ear slowly and playfully.
human
Daliah smiled. Spencer seemed to have taken things in stride. At first it felt a little awkward when he invited himself over, but he put in the condition that it would only be for a while. Her smile widened. She hadn't smiled this much in a long, long time.
"Yeah, I'd like that," she agreed. "Maybe a movie or a game or something," she suggested. "I uh...don't think sitting in silence with each other would be too much fun yet. I mean thatisa thing I like to do, but I think I'd rather talk with you and stuff." Daliah had to laugh at herself. "'Talk and stuff.' Wasn't that eloquent. I'm sorry it's just...been a while, you know?" She concentrated on her food again, trying to dig herself out of the hole from embarrassment.
JJ squirmed in his arms as he winked and teased her. "Onlyan hour and a half? Ugh...that's forever!" she complained. Still she enjoyed the teasing and forepleay. "And whywouldn'tit appeal to me?" she demanded. "Has getting pinned down and tied up evernotappealed to me?" She pulled Brennan in for a deep, slow kiss. She couldn't wait until Henry got to bed; already she was slick. "I love you," she murmured. "And I love everything you do to my body."
gpt
Spencer felt just as embarrassed as Daliah. It didn't even cross his mind that he invited himself over until he already spoke. That was weird, wasn't it? Or maybe it was a show of confidence even if he didn't mean it to be. Women liked that, right? He didn't know, hell he didn't know what they liked but she was still there and accepted the offer so he must be doing something decent at least. "It's okay... talking and stuff is fine... maybe a movie would be nice." He added, making sure to add the 'talk and stuff' part in to show he didn't find it stupid or dumb and she didn't need to be embarrassed. He had done so many embarrassing things tonight already, she had no reason to be ashamed. "You don't have to be eloquent around me... I'm not a real doctor, you know?" He teased, thinking that was a good little play on words and his title to use with her. "So, when did you first start singing? And how did you meet up with your band, if you don't mind me asking?" He asked and looked at her, wanting to know all about her that he could.
Brennan loved when JJ got like this, and she wasn't even drunk like she was last week! Maybe he was just that good, that thought made him smirk against her lips. "Hmm, I love you more. And I really, really love doing those things to your body. I promise you, you're the hottest mom of them all. "He laughed, kissing her again, flipping her over onto the couch playfully, kissing her on the lips again, hands massaging her waist with his hands. He couldn't wait either. This would be so fun and he hoped Henry's bed time would come quickly. He couldn't wait to see how or what he would do to JJ. He didn't even know yet, but he had a few plans like he said. The TV played but they ignored it, just making out with one another.
human
Daliah tucked a bit of hair behind her ear, recovering somewhat from her embarrassment. "Not a real doctor, huh? Just play one on TV?" she teased. "You may not be a medical doctor, but youarea real doctor, Spencer. You've got a doctorate; makes you a doctor and that's all that matters. I just like to be more articulate than, you know, 'stuff and things.'" She chuckled to herself and shook her head.
"I've always sung," she answered with a shrug. "Ever since I can remember I've been in choruses, choirs, musicals, bands...a lot of my family is musically inclined and the rest are all mechanics. Nora looks like she might be going the same way with music; she's picking up the guitar really quickly. If she ever stops liking it, though, I'm not pushing her into it. As for the band?" Daliah shrugged. "In high school some of my friends and I started getting really into swing and the rockabilly style. It went from just dicking around in Chuck's garage to...well, you saw. We wanted to be a New Orleans-themed sort of band, but we ended up with the sugar skulls instead. I think it's fun though." Her lips curled back up into a smile before she leaned forward. "So what about you? What sort of books do you like to read?"
JJ grinned as Brennan swore she was the hottest mom. Sometimes she worried about her appearance, about her body since having Henry, but Brennan was always there to make her feel secure again. She made a small noise as he flipped her onto the couch and pinned her with his body. Grinning, she groaned and ran his hands through her hair as she returned his kiss. She was always more than happy to just make out on the couch until Henry had to go to bed.
gpt
"I uh, I read a lot of philosophy books. Sociology and the such. Psychology. I learned everything I could from them when I was a kid. And that continues. I don't really read literature for fictional characters and events. I guess I just like to learn from them. So it's what most people consider boring and nothing else." He murmured with a shrug, a bit embarrassed with how nerdy that he sounded. "Well, I believe in you. I believe your band can be the best in the world. Do big concerts all around the country. I can see it." He offered with a smile on his face. A little bit longer and Spencer was trying so hard to slow down his eating. He wanted the dinner to drag on because he didn't want to leave her. "Uh, do you want any dessert? I might try some of the chocolate cake." He told her with a little smile. He actually wasn't that hungry to be honest, but he just wanted to stay with her a little bit longer. "You said that you liked to read. What about you? Do you like nerdy books too?" he asked and chuckled softly, doing his best to relax in the chair.
It truly felt like an eternity before it was Henry's bed time but he suddenly pulled back from a kiss and winked. "Hey, it's nine-thirty. I'm going to put our baby boy to bed... and then I expect to see you in the bedroom. You better not be in all this clothing though." He whispered into her ear with a sly smirk before pressing a kiss to her lips. After that, he walked up to Henry's room. They boy was dozing off anyways, so he turned off the TV and pulled up the covers for him, kissing his head and bidding him good night. He slowly slipped out the room and closed the door behind him, heading down the hall to their bedroom.

Daliah couldn't help but laugh when Spencer declared that he believed in her and her band. "Well that's a very sweet sentiment, but we're realistic," she said. "It's hard for nobodies to break into music, even harder to make it into the rockabilly and electroswing scene. It's super niche. We've all got dayjobs and we're all coming at it with the same attitude: If we get discovered, great! Nora's college is all set and maybe we can get a house with a bigger yard. If not, we at least have fun. Fame does funny things to people, anyway." She shrugged.
She took a moment to consider how full she was. "Yeah I think I'd like some," she said after a moment. "I'm on this quest, you see, for the perfect cannoli. I don't think that'll be too much dessert for me. Ever been to Boston? There's this place there, Mike's...incredible. I've yet to meet a pastry better than Mike's." Daliah sat back in her chair, waiting for the waiter to come by to take their plates and get their dessert orders.
"I like fiction mostly," she admitted. "I've been known to pick up a history book or two, some theology, and I've got a few astronomy books I've been getting back into, but it's mostly fiction. Nothing like Twilight or that crap." She waved a dismissive hand. "Classics, by and large, though I've been known to keep some Dean Koontz or Stephen King on my bookshelf. And it's thegoodclassics, none of thisTess of the D'Urbervillesstuff. Gatsby was the last great American novel, you know." Suddenly Daliah's expression changed and she pushed away her wine glass. "I'm sorry. Wine tends to make me...chatty." Her face was a little flushed as well. "I realize that it isn'tconventionallyattractive for a woman to get passionate about things that aren't shopping-related, but I think you've probably noticed that I'm not aconventionalwoman." She began to reach for her water glass. "Ilikegetting passionate about a lot of things: novels, food, sex, homemade soaps..." Daliah had nearly choked on her own water at the realization of what she'd said, but let the casual mention of sex slip by as though it were nothing. Oh god, now hewouldthink she was a slut! "What are you passionate about, Spencer? Not just, you know, a hobby...something you reallylove.Something you can lose yourself in and feelalive?"
"Aww you're not gonna take them off for me?" JJ pouted playfully before following her husband upstairs. She peeked over his shoulder at Henry and smiled before continuing on to their bedroom. In no time she was stripped and laying on the bed, clad in only her panties and spread eagle for her husband. Already she'd tugged the under-bed restraints out of the mattress for use at his will, and a host of toys and paraphernalia were lined up on the nightstand, ready to be used on her one by one.

"Yes, I have been to Boston on a few cases that the team worked. However, I don't think we have ever eaten there. If we ever go back, I'll be sure to tell them we need to try because the best musician ever said so." With a smile, he handed the empty plates over to the waiter and got a refill on his wine. "Well, I have read a few Stephen King books. I prefer the books of the horror genre when I do read something like that. And don't worry, I like chatting with you... and you look cute when you blush." he commented, which in turn caused him to blush, not used to giving these compliments, afraid he would sound stupid.
"Well, I think it's good that you feel so passionate about all those things. I'm not conventional either. I am really passionate about chess, I have to admit. And poker. I grew up in Vegas so it's natural that I play." he paused with a soft chuckle. "But I also am passionate about my job. You know, so many times we lose. We see the bad guy win and kill someone or a child is never returned. I am passioante because I want to save all those victims. I want to help them and help these families we come in contact with because sometimes, the good guys win. And that's what make the dark days worth the good days. So what I really love is helping people I guess. There's something so perfect about making someone else smile because of what you did, not just as an FBI agent, but as a human. Just like you... I love seeing you smile, I have to admit." With a smile, he sighed softly as the dessert was brought out and he started to eat.
"That reminds me, I've tried to take up painting, taking a few lessons here and there but it's not going anywhere really. I do like listening to music, more classical music and music like you play. I really enjoyed all of your songs. I want you to know that I'm not saying that just to say it but i really did enjoy it. I want you to know you guys do a great job and you need to keep up the good work. That's coming from a doctor so it must be accurate, right?" He asked with a grin.
When Brennan walked inside the bedroom, he looked at the sight and smiled. He closed the door behind him and looked down into her eyes. "Well, this is quite the sexy sight to walk in on." he whispered and walked to the foot of the bed. Quickly, his shirt and pants were stripped away and he crawled on top of the bed, just clad in his boxers now. "I love you baby." He whispered into her ear, starting to kiss her on the neck again, right in that sweet spot. Now, he had the leather cuffs that were used for restraints with pink ropes to attach to the bed post when he needs her. "It's been such a long week babe... we haven't been able to do anything since last weekend." he whispered. "We both have some... pent up emotions, I assume." He chuckled, now kissing her on the lips again, cupping her cheeks in his hands.

Spencer's compliment only caused her to blush deeper and look down to avoid his gaze for a little bit. It was hard for her to accept genuine compliments, but it made her grin uncontrollably. Her cheeks hurt from as much as she'd been smiling. When the topic turned to passion she looked up again, glad to have the focus off of her for a little bit. For such a flamboyant performer, Daliah was rather shy when it came to personal interactions. When he mentioned poker her interest looked piqued.
"I'll bet you're a whiz at counting cards," she speculated. "Statistics and odds, too. I bet you get banned from all the casinos." Daliah listened silently as Spencer started talking about his job. She could see it in his eyes that he really meant it, that he was really passionate about helping and saving people, about making sure the bad guys win. When he admitted he liked seeing her smile, a grin bloomed across her face again. "Well it's easy to smile around you," she confessed. "And I love how much you care about your job and the people you work with. It's really hard to find someone who works like you do and isn't jaded or doesn't hate their job. It's a refreshing change of pace, and you're passionate for a very good reason."
Dessert was brought and Daliah carefully broke into her cannoli. It was good...but not the perfect cannoli she was looking for. "Mm...really good...but not as good as Mikes," she judged at last. "Want to try some?" She pushed her plate towards Spencer in offering, laughing as he insisted that his opinion as a doctor about her band meant that it was true. She was enjoying this little in-joke that seemed to be developing between them. "Absolutely! Your professional opinion as a doctor is above dispute. My band is the best in the world."
JJ stretched out like a cat when Brennan walked in, showing off all she had to offer. Between their play earlier and the sight of Brennan now she was ready for him to take her...but she knew that wasn't how the game was played. Instead she squirmed beneath him as he crawled up her body.
"Mm...I love you more," she whispered back, breathing in sharply as he kissed her neck. "Ooh I've got so much pent up everything, baby," she groaned, writhing underneath him. "Why don't you help me release some of this energy?"
gpt
"Yeah, I'd love to try it." Spencer answered and took his spoon, taking a bite of the cannoli. "Hm, it's really good actually. Though I never had a dessert like this before." He answered with a chuckle and returned to his slice of cake. Spencer was never big on eating out just because he never had anyone to go with. That was before he joined the BAU. They usually went out to eat once a week in the cities they go to investigate the cases. But now he had a reason to go out and eat. He could get used to this with Daliah.
"So, for your music and your band, Daliah..." he began after swallowing a piece of cake and taking a sip of the wine. "Is the bar that's here the only place you guys play at? Or do you play anywhere else?" he asked curiously, tilting his head at her before wiping his hands on the napkin. "Because, if you're looking for another gig. One of my friend run that restaurant near the court house. They would be looking for new bands to play. It wouldn't be every week though, but you're passionate about your music. Your music makes people happy and it could give you an opportunity to play more often for the audience. If you're interested, I could help with that."
"Oh, I will help you with it baby... just take your time though and get all nice and relaxed." Pulling away from the kiss, he took one of the cuffs, locked it onto her left wrist and tied the rope to the headboard and then did the same thing with her other wrist, tying it to the proper post on the side of her wrist. After she was secure, he started to kiss her again, taking her lower lip in between his teeth and beginning to suck on her lip. "Now you're all cuffed to the bed, JJ. No one can save you now..." he told her with a wink, hands moving to grip her breasts.
human
"Really? You'veneverhad a cannoli?" Daliah shook her head, smiling. "Wegottaget you out more, dude. There's an entire world of food out there, waiting for you to eat it!"
When asked about her band, she shook her head. "Nah. I mean we'll play a few gigs here and there but mostly we just play at that bar. It's consistent and pays enough for some pocket money." She straightened as he offered her a gig, grinning. "Yeah sure! I mean, we'll audition just like everybody else, obviously, and if he doesn't like us he doesn't like us. But it would be amazing if you could put in a good word for us! Thank you, Spencer!" Under the table her foot accidentally bumped into his leg. Instead of showing her embarrassment and tried to play it off, instead running her foot gently down the length of his shin.
JJ squirmed when Brennan tied her up to the bed posts. She loved being controlled by him and tying her up was the quickest way to get her wet. A groan slipped from her as he sucked on her lip and she slid her leg over his hip then down his thigh, enjoying the foreplay. "Who says I need saving?" she murmured, pressing her lips hard against his.

When Spencer felt her foot brush against his leg, he felt the breath in his throat start to hitch. Expecting her to play it off, he got a big surprise when she ran it down the length of his shin. To show that he didn't mind the affection and to show that he enjoyed it, in return, he ran his foot down her shin as well. A small smile was exchanged with her as the genius started to finish up his piece of cake. Soon enough, his plate was empty and he felt sick- in a good way of course. That had to be the best meal he had eaten in the longest time.
"That was an amazing meal and I'm so glad you agreed for this date. I'll go run up to the counter and pay the bill for us then we can get headed on the road." After declaring this, he smiled at Daliah and walked towards the cashier, paying the money before returning to the table. Whenever she was finished with her meal, he was standing up and ready to walk her out to his car and to drive her home.
When Brennan finished binding JJ to the bed, he smirked as he grabbed the other two leather cuffs and tied her ankles to the adjacent post at the foot of the bed. Now, she was tied in a spread eagle tie, all spread out and ready for him to do as he pleased. Just as tying her up was the quickest way to get JJ wet, doing the tying was the quickest way to get Brennan hard. His lips went right back to hers, each hand going down one of her arms to give her those gentle little touches as he made out with her. "Good point." He laughed, taking her tongue into his mouth.

Daliah smiled back, surprised Spencer had returned the small gesture of affection under the table. They finished their desserts in silence and Daliah went for her purse, but Spencer beat her to it. By the time he'd come back she'd stood up and went out with him to the car. She leaned the seat back a little, completely full and almost regretting having eaten so much. Still it was a good kind of sickening fullness and she certainly didn't mind the company. At the doorstep she hesitated a moment, uncertain of the state the house had been left in when she'd left. Still, they'd made plans so she was going to keep them.
The living room was mostly clean, but Barbies and Hot Wheels were scattered across the floor. The lid of the toybox in the corner was still propped open and Daliah shook her head, bending to pick everything up before one of them broke their necks. Smiling, she stepped across the living room into the kitchen to put some popcorn in the microwave. The house wasn't as clean as she'd have liked, but she wouldn't have traded this life for anything. Instead of sitting on the couch when she came back in, she continued toward the stairs.
"I hope you don't mind, but I'vegotto get out of this dress," Daliah mentioned as she passed Spencer. "I'm going to go put on something a bit more comfortable."
When she said comfortable, Daliah didn't mean the sexy kind of comfortable. She returned a few minutes later in yoga pants and an over-sized t-shirt, makeup wiped off and hair taken down and brushed out. After retrieving the popcorn from the kitchen, she sat on the couch with Spencer and smiled sheepishly.
"I know it's not sexy...but home is home, you know? I like to be comfy."
JJ didn't struggle as he cuffed her feet as well. The less she could move the more she loved it. A shiver ran up her body as her husband crawled back up and she felt his hard shaft through the thin fabric of is boxers press against the inside of her thigh. He ran his hands down her arms, raising goosebumps across her skin, and groaned as he claimed her mouth again. God but she loved it when he dominated her!
gpt
On the walk to the car, Spencer linked arms with Daliah again. Just one week ago from yesterday, it was a gesture that felt so foreign and nerve wracking to him. Such affection wasn't given to him that often and he had no idea how to reciprocate it. But by now, with all this time spent with the woman that was painted in a sugar skull paint when he first met her, showed him how gentle and relaxing these little gestures were. Every time they touched, no matter how little it was or even if it was by accident, he took happiness in the moment, took pride in being able to feel such things. Maybe he was finally moving on, he just needed this woman in his life to help him. Of course, they weren't involved with anything serious yet and maybe that since it's only the first date, he shouldn't think this way, but he felt like a serious relationship with her would be perfect and it made him wanting to try even harder to make this perfect for her.
After following her into her home, he took a curious look around. He wasn't profiling her or the way her home looked, but he knew that a person's house said a lot about the resident. He wanted to take a good look at everything, hoping to find out what she really enjoyed and what he could do, helping to make her happy. It was obvious that the way to her heart was through her daughter. That wasn't a bad thing though. Spencer always truly did want a family but for so long, he had feared dying alone, spending his dying days with no one by his side. Maybe this was all perfect. This daughter of hers needed a man that was constant and would commit to her and her mother. Spencer wanted to be that man, he wanted it so bad.
"It's okay, take all the time you need." He told her before taking a seat on the couch and waiting. "Well... I think it's sexy if I'm being honest..." he admitted with a timid smile. He learned that compliments never hurt, no matter what and no matter how scared it made him, fearing he would say something stupid, it would do well to say it.
"Now, it's time for the best part." Brennan whispered against her mouth before sitting back. reaching over, he grabbed a clean cloth and shoved it between JJ's teeth, then taking the cloth and wrapping it around her head twice and tying it when he was done. As always, he kept her hair out of the way so it didn't get caught and tangled. She was nicely bound and gagged, just the way he wanted her to be. Gags were always his most favorite part because of just how sexy her moans sounded when she was helpless, like a classic damsel in distress, and that really got him hard. "Let's see what you've got hidden under this underwear." he purred into her ear, reaching under her back to unstrap her bra.

Theliving roomSpencer was left in was small and tidy, though scuffs in the wood and a few stains on the rug were a testament to the child who lived here. When Daliah came back to sit on the couch with him, she grinned at his admission. Without thinking too much about it she leaned in and kissed his cheek. Perhaps actual kissing wasn't appropriate just yet but she wanted some way to show her affection. Being told she was sexy even without being made up and pinned and tucked into more formal clothes than pj's was nice.
"You're a very sweet man, Spencer," she said softly as she drew back. "So I know you said you don't watch a whole lot of TV but what about movies? We've got quite a few, both animated and not," she gestured to a shelf with a good number of movies organized neatly. "Or there's always Netflix, I'm sure. So long as it's not Barbie Swan Lake again, I'm up for anything."
The cloth caught her off-guard but wasn't entirely unexpected. JJ moaned, her voice muffled by the cloth. She knew he liked to see her helpless underneath him. As he reached up to unstrap her bra she pushed her hips up, trying to grind against him. The torment was exquisite...but anguish was still anguish.
gpt
The living room was much more well maintained than his own. It was funny how Daliah said that she had a messy house that was hardly ever clean because of her daughter. Spencer lived alone and it wasn't nearly as clean at his own living room! When she kissed his cheek, a huge blush took him over. Much bigger than any blush that he had that night. A dorky smile took over his face and he couldn't help himself. "Thank you so much. I don't care what movie we watch... I just want to be with you... how about you put in your favorite movie ever. You can recommend me some good movies and then I can finally get into modern day entertainment." He chuckled to himself, figuring it was time to join the golden age of the world. He was book smart but that was about it. He wasn't technically sound nor did he know too much about the modern culture, but he wanted to learn. Plus, if he knew what her favorite movie was, he could find out what else she liked.
When JJ moaned, it made Brennan smile. He was fully hard now, ready to fuck her and now, it was time. He removed his boxers and then removed her panties while rubbing his hard length against her. Leaning down, he pursed his lips to kiss her over the gag and smiled. "I love you babe. Get ready for my cock." He told her as he picked up his hips and slammed inside of her violently, both hands now molesting her breasts, squeezing and pinching them as he started ravaging her again, penetrating deep to her core.

"My favorite movie ever, huh?" Daliah raised an eyebrow. "That'san awful lot of trust. What if I liked some sappy romance or stupid romcom?" She grinned, however, and slid off the couch. "Don't worry, it's neither of those things. Well, there's romance...but there's always romance, isn't there? But if you haven't seen The Princess Bride now you will. It's a cult classic, you know."
Holding up the cover so he could see it, she smiled as she popped it in then sat back down next to him. Throwing caution to the wind, she curled up and leaned against him, putting the popcorn bowl between them. It was nice, being able to actually becomfortableon the first date. It felt like they'd known each other for so much longer, and that was nice. It was strange but exciting to think that maybe she'dfinallyfound a steady, stable, nice guy.
JJ's scream was muffled behind the gag. Her back arched as he slammed into her, penetrating her deep and suddenly. But she loved feeling him so deep inside of her, fucking her senseless. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head and the noises she made were always muffled by the cloth, but it was clear she was enjoying it. At one point she even wrapped a leg around his hip, pulling him even deeper with each thrust.

"Maybe it is a lot of trust but did you know that trust has been studied to be a direct correlation with the neurons of the brain that control attraction and happiness when they release the epinephrine and...." Spencer paused shyly and looked down, noticing that he was rambling on and on with some useless information that no one needs to hear. So he took a deep breath and laughed nervously. "What I am really trying to say is that I like you... a lot and you should know. If you ever are feeling down, just remember that you make me happy and making someone happy is our true purpose in this world."
After saying this, he decided to be bold and pressed a kiss to her cheek. She was curled up in his arms with the popcorn and he didn't care. By now, he was forgetting all the social norms of dating because he just wanted to hold her and that he did. He held her like his life depended on it and he was so comfortable with her. He didn't feel like he even had to act like he was the modern version of an interesting man that women would love. Daliah liked him, for him. That was incredible.
When JJ screamed, it brought a smirk to Brennan's face. Oh, that wonderful, sexy noise! Sometimes he wondered if he could just jerk off to JJ while she sat naked with a gag and made those whimpering noises. It was so hot and it was not able to be explained. He didn't know why he got so aroused by her muffled moans but he did, and he always had. When her leg wrapped around his waist, he reached down to grip onto her thigh and smiled to himself. "I'm going to fill you up with my cum baby. You're mine forever and you're going to feel owned tonight." He murmured, smiling as he kissed her over the gag again, his other hand reaching to grip her ass while he thrusts.
human
Daliah smiled. Spencer was geeky and awkward and she liked that. Running her fingers through his hair, she leaned her head on his shoulder. "I like you a lot too," she confessed. "And I like little factoids like that. I think they're interesting. Now watch the movie." She chuckled as she hit play, glowing with the feel of his kiss still on her cheek. His arms were so comfortable.
Too comfortable. By the end of the movie, Daliah had shifted to where her top half was laying across Spencer's lap and her legs were stretched out on the couch. The popcorn was long gone, but through the last ten minutes of the movie she didn't move much. As the credits rolled she didn't move to stop them, but her breathing was slow and heavy. Daliah had fallen asleep in Spencer's lap during the movie. It was, after all, late and had been quite a busy day for her.
She grinned behind the gag as he gripped her thigh and his fingers dug into her ass. JJ's breathing grew heavier as he promised to fill her up with his cum and she couldn't help but beg for it, though she knew he couldn't understand her. She loved feeling owned and taken by her husband.
gpt
"Yes ma'am." Spencer nodded when she instructed him to watch the movie. While the movie played on longer, his arms never left her body. When it was over, he was consciously aware of Daliah being across his lap. All he did now was stroke her hair until he turned off the television since the credits were rolling. He kissed her gently one more time on the cheek before closing his eyes and going right to sleep as well, still holding her tightly to his body.
Just as he promised that he would cum inside of her, Brennan kept his promise. With a moan of her name, he kissed her one final time and slammed his massive cock inside of her, filling her up with his sticky seed. Once he finished, he just lay on top of her, arms tightly wrapped around her as he took time, kissing on her neck all affectionately, just enjoying how great her body was and how great it was while she was tied up.
human
There was a buzzing in the far distance. There it was again. Daliah lifted her head, groggily recognizing that she was still laid over Spencer. The buzzing...it was her phone. Nora! Lunging toward the coffee table and picked up the phone.
"Hello?" she knew she still sounded sleepy.
"Mrs. White? Daliah did I wake you up?"
"Susan, hi! I..no, I'm just a little groggy. What's up?" Frowning, Daliah looked at the clock. It was only 8:30, were the girls even up yet?
"Oh I'm sorry it's just, well...Nora had a bad dream last night. She wants to come home early." Susan sounded a little annoyed, but mostly sympathetic.
Daliah sat up, hair stuck to the side of her face as she rubbed her eyes. "Yeah okay. Just let me do my hair real quick and I'll be there. Okay thanks Susan." She looked over at Spencer and gently shook him. "Hey Spencer? I ah...I have to go pick up Nora from that sleepover. She wanted to come home early."
JJ arched her back as Brennan came inside her, moaning her name. Feeling his cock slamming deep inside her was always so satisfying. Once he finished they were both breathing heavily, tangled up in each other as he kissed her. Unable to move, she simply leaned her forehead against his shoulder, grateful for such a wonderful husband.

It wasn't that long ago when Spencer couldn't sleep a wink. But last night, he slept like a rock. It wasn't until he felt the body of the lovely Daliah shift from his lap before he woke from his slumber. Slowly opening his eyes, he groaned quietly and rubbed them, letting out a yawn. His body was adjusting now to sit up more straight against the couch while he started to become coherent from his sleep. Hearing that Nora wanted to come home early, he nodded.
"I'm sorry about falling asleep on the couch last night. You were asleep and I didn't want to wake you... I hope you aren't upset that I stayed." Finally, he rambled off his concerns that were bothering him all of last night. What if she was upset with him? He promised to just stay a few minutes and on top of that, he invited himself to do it. Oh god, he thought he ruined it.
After their rough session of sex, Brennan untied JJ and removed the gag. The couple spent the rest of the night cuddling and kissing while adding in one more love-making scene before bed. The next morning arrived quickly and Brennan was the first to wake up as usual. As of now, he was dressed in his boxers since he didn't want himself and his wife to be sleeping nude in case Henry needed something. After waking, Brennan kissed JJ's cheek and looked at his sleeping wife before standing, pulling on his robe and starting to make breakfast downstairs. He wanted to treat his wife and son on this Sunday Morning.

"No, it's okay," Daliah protested as Spencer apologized. "It was actually kinda nice. Besides, it was my fault anyway; I sort-of trapped you, didn't I?" She chuckled and stood, retrieving a brush from the half bath downstairs and pulling it through her hair. "I had a lot of fun last night, Spencer. I hope we can do it again some time." Daliah wanted to invite him to go pick up Nora with her, to stay for breakfast, but thought that might be moving too quickly. Instead she ran upstairs to grab a bra before coming back down and pulling her hair into a ponytail.
"I ah...I don't think it's a good idea just yet, meeting Nora and everything," she admitted with a rueful look. "But after a few more dates I don't think it'll be out of the question." Daliah grabbed her keys and held the door open for him, following close behind and locking it. Standing on the porch with Spencer, she pushed herself up onto her toes and kissed him sweetly on the lips. "Call me, alright?" With that she left to pick up her daughter.
JJ woke up an hour or so after Brennan. Last night had taken a lot out of her. Rolling out of bed, she grabbed a robe and headed downstairs to the kitchen. Taking a deep breath, she sat at the table and smiled contentedly. "Mmm...smells good babe."
gpt
Spencer felt a major wave of relief wash over him when she said he didn't apologize. "Well, don't worry about it. I'm really glad that we spent this night together and I'm so glad that we had our dinner. I will definitely call you. I promise. So have fun with your daughter and I'll talk to you later." He told her with a smile as they stood on the porch. He returned the kiss to her lips and got into his car, starting to ride home. It was the best day he had in a long time and the decision to go out with the team just last week started this. He couldn't wait to see what the future held for him and Daliah. Once he was home, he stepped inside and sat down on the couch, just relaxing, looking at a couple pictures they took together the night before. It was such a nice reminder.
"Thank you, love." Brennan answered as he glanced to his wife in the robe. Walking towards her, he pulled her in for a quick hug and kiss. "The foods ready. I'll go get Henry." He whispered and kissed her on the lips once more before releasing her. He walked into his son's room, knocked on the door and woke up his son to let him know that the breakfast was ready. Returning to the kitchen, he got everyone some juice to drink, taking his seat when JJ and Henry were all settled in.

Two weeks later, Daliah and Spencer had gone on three more dates. The activity varied and of course he didn't fall asleep on her couch anymore, but she was happier than she had been in a long time. She was even beginning to contemplate changing her Facebook status and wonder how soon would be too soon for Nora to meet him; both things that didn't happen unless she was starting to get serious. Several days ago while on their weekly phone call her mother had demanded to know who the man in the photos she kept posting was, and how serious they were. Delilah's mother had been quite protective of her daughter's feelings since Ryan had died, and of her granddaughter and any new father figures that might come into her life.
At the BAU, however, things were a bit less happy. Garcia put up images on screen of several victims with the marks of stigmata on their hands and feet...and a bullet in the brain. It wasn't as graphic as some of the cases they'd worked, but still it was clearly a signature. The victims were of different genders and races but all had one thing in common: service. Of the four victims there were a paramedic, two cops, and a veteran. Both fortunately and unfortunately, the killer was right here in D.C. They didn't have to travel for this particular case...but having another serial killer in their own back yard was of course disturbing.
gpt
Over the next couple of weeks, Spencer thoroughly enjoyed the dates he and Daliah went on. The calls became more frequent and the conversations lasted longer. He was also struggling with the fear of things being too soon. Questions like asking her about making things official between them lingered and he didn't know what to do. He feared of waiting too long or not being quick enough to the draw. Simply, he didn't want to lose her. He didn't know how he could recover if he did. Besides, he struggled so much with her in the beginning that he feared he'd never be capable of such confidence again. He was happy with her and it was obvious she was happy with him.
It was a Monday morning and the team was called in. Everyone was extra weary about this case because a serial killer was loose right in their backyard. In fact, the last victim was found less than twenty minutes from Morgan's home. It was a street he passed just about every day. They haven't left yet to visit the crime scene. They wouldn't have to fly but they needed to set up with the local authorities anyways. "Alright, let's load up to the cars and head to the D.C. police station." Hotch spoke as they were briefing one another here in Quantico since they wouldn't all be in the same vehicle, going to the police.
