On his drive home from work Spencer found himself thinking about Aaron. He was pleased with their current situation. Aaron had been seeing a counselor now for over 3 months and the results were already showing. Spencer had only joined him for one session so far but he hoped they could do it again at a later date.

 

The therapist had helped Aaron open up about his guilt for being gay and talking about it made him realize that a lot of his problems stemmed from his fathers insistence that Aaron be a strong successful man and carry on the family name above all else.

 

Regarding the control issues, well, those were still a work in progress. Rome wasn't built in a day, Spencer thought and Aaron's obvious commitment to the counseling was all he needed to stay right here, by his lover's side.

 

Spencer had had a long day and was hoping Aaron would grab take-out on his way home from his session. Problem was Spencer had called him a few times and kept getting his voicemail. Aaron only used voicemail during stings, interrogations and that one hour therapy session. Spencer didn't think there was a bust going down or else he would have been notified. Besides, they made it a point to always contact one another to say I love you before they walked into danger. They weren't oblivious to the heartache their careers could cause.  He doubted Aaron would be questioning anyone on a day he had to leave early from work and his session was over 15 minutes ago. So he was quite baffled on what his partner could be doing.

 

When Spencer pulled up to the townhouse he noticed Aaron's car was in the driveway. This was puzzling also because if you calculated the distance between the therapist's office and the traffic on the roads Aaron shouldn't have been home for close to another hour.

 

He opened the door to darkness. Was that jazz in the background? What was going on?

 

"Spencer, I'm in the kitchen baby." Aaron called.

 

"What are you doing in the kitchen?" Spencer was confused. Aaron used the kitchen to get coffee and beer but really nothing more.

 

He made his way to the kitchen and nearly fainted. Aaron had set the dining room table, there were flowers, mood lighting and his lover was actually making dinner.

 

"What is this?" Spencer was more than surprised but also very confused. Aaron wasn't one for romantic gestures of any sort.

 

"This, is our 3 year anniversary." Aaron walked over and wrapped his arms around his lover's waist and kissed him softly.

 

"Well, yes it is but we've never celebrated before." Spencer looked at Aaron in astonishment but it showed he was more than pleased. Just then a buzzer went off on the oven.

 

"Ooh that's my casserole!" Aaron exclaimed as he ran over to the oven and grabbed a pot holder.

 

"You made casserole? What else do you have in store for me?" Spencer asked while walking over to stir something on the stove. He wasn't quite sure what it was. He was happy but he was also a bit nervous. Aaron wasn't known for his culinary skills. He needed a recipe to make cereal.

 

"Oh hey honey, your phone is off!" Spencer said while tentatively sticking his finger in the mystery sauce. He put his finger in his mouth and sucked on it.

 

Aaron glanced over and his heart skipped a beat. His genius had no idea how sexy he could be. "Yeah, I know, I turned it off." Aaron replied.

 

Suddenly Spencer's mind went into over drive. Aaron must have been fired. Thoughts of child support, alimony, mortgage all started whizzing around his mind. They had a nest egg but would barely make it on Spencer's salary alone. "What happened?" Spencer asked standing petrified by fear.

 

Aaron took a moment to take in the young man's face. His soft brown hair tucked behind his ear, his full lips in an O of concern and his hazel eyes wide open. "Spence, relax. I told Gideon I needed the night to myself and he is fielding all my work calls. I made it clear that no emergency was big enough to bother us. Now go pour yourself a glass of wine, dinner will be ready in a second."

 

Visibly relaxing for only a moment Spencer quickly cocked his head to the side like a beagle on a hunt. "Wait, you just said "us". You told him not to bother us? Which would imply that in this house we some how interact with one another which could possibly indicate we are a couple. Work knowing about our relationship is one of your biggest hang ups. So did I hear you right? Did you say us?"

 

Aaron had bent over to take his casserole out of the oven and let out an exasperated sigh. "Spencer, you are ruining are romantic night." He said as he dropped the hot casserole down on the stovetop rolling his eyes. "Yes I said us. Yes I implied to Gideon that we are a couple. It's called progress baby and I'm doing my best."

 

Spencer felt awful. He had hurt Aaron's feelings when he was trying so hard. "Honey I'm sorry it just caught me by surprise. You know this is exactly what I've always wanted. Come on, let me help you set the meal out." Spencer offered this as a peace offering.

 

"Alright come over here and help me but first give me a kiss. I missed you all day. I barely saw you." Aaron told him.

 

Spencer arrived in Aaron's open arms and embraced him with a warm hug. He then pulled back and traced a finger down his lover's nose. "I love you." Spencer told him. "Thank you for all of this."

 

Aaron smiled and learned in for a kiss. Their mouths met and each man sighed. Spencer parted his lips and invited Aaron's tongue inside. Aaron nipped his bottom lip first and ran his tongue over his top lip. The kiss quickly became hungry and Spencer was pushing Aaron up against the cupboards. Aaron felt his erection pushing against Spencer's hip and quickly composed himself. "Hey there Dr. we have a dinner to enjoy. There will be more than enough time for play later."

 

The dinner was actually good. Spencer wouldn't say great but he knew Aaron had really tried. The conversation was fun. They talked about their college days. Aaron's were a lot more exciting than Spencer's. Spencer loved listening to Aaron talk about anything that could make him smile. They agreed it was probably the first dinner they had ever had interruption free. They reconnected on a lot of different levels.

 

When dinner was over Spencer began washing the dishes. He laughed to himself because this was one job that his lover was usually willing to do. But tonight he thought he could take care of it.

 

Suddenly he felt strong arms around his waist and felt warm breath on the back of his neck. They stood there like that for a moment and just swayed, Aaron's chin resting on Spencer's shoulder.

 

"I have one more surprise for you." Aaron whispered in to Spencer's ear.

 

"Really, I'm intrigued." He replied with a smile on his face. His voice deep and flirtatious.

 

"It's kind of a first for us." Aaron began, turning Spencer around so they were face to face. "It's something I want to try."

 

"Alright honey what do you have in mind? I'd try just about anything for you, you know that." Spencer saw the hesitation on Aaron's face and wanted to encourage him to share whatever it was he was thinking.

 

"I want us to make love.." Aaron said but Spencer quickly interrupted.

 

"Well that's not a first darling. We do that all the time." Spencer smiled.

 

"I want us to make love but I want you to be in control and top me." Aaron finished.

 

The look on Spencer's face was horrified. "What, Aaron I'm not a top! I wouldn't even know where to begin."

 

"But admit it Spence, you would enjoy being in control once in a while. I need to learn to let go of some of my control issues. Please Spencer. We are a happy, healthy couple and we should try new things." Aaron could see the doubt in Spencer's eyes. He didn't want to push his partner but he really felt they should try this.

 

Spencer didn't really know how he felt about this. He hadn't been on top since he first began exploring his sexuality. He had enjoyed it, but never felt comfortable in that role; he was always worried that he would do it ‘wrong', that he wouldn't be enough to satisfy a lover. He loved having Aaron inside of him. It really was all he needed. But if Aaron needed this then Spencer would go along. Maybe he would enjoy it after all.

 

Spencer dried his hands and made his way to the bedroom. Aaron was already there and had lit some candles. He'd even changed the sheets. It was obvious to Spencer how much thought his lover had put into this entire night. However he wasn't quite sure why Aaron was trying to touch on so many issues at once. The profiler in him said that this was an act of control. He was using this night to prove he could change. What Aaron didn't understand was that this past 3 months had been proof enough. 

"Hi." Aaron smiled. 

"Hi." Replied Spencer. They were both noticeably nervous.  

Spencer lifted his sweater vest over his head and loosened his tie. Aaron removed it for him, kissing him while running his free hair through Spencer's brown curls. 
 
 

Spencer's mouth went dry and his hands shook.

"What's wrong baby?" Aaron said holding Spencer's trembling hands still. 

"I just... what if I can't..." Spencer fumbled. 

"I love you," reassured Aaron, "I want to be with you, I know what it is like to be in you,

I want you to be in me, to feel you, to be together that way." 

"But..." Spencer said, his insecurities pouring out in the saying of just that one word.

Aaron was the strong one; he was the one with the  big office.  When Spencer had moved in all he brought was a battered suitcase of clothing, a couple of boxes of books and his laptop.  All his furniture went back to the thrift store he had bought it.  He had always been in Aaron's shadow, he liked it, and it was safe. 

"We'll go slow," Aaron said with reassurance in his voice, "Its kind of scary for me to you know, I've never done this before, you will have to be gentle." They both laughed a little. 

Aaron removed the rest of Spencer's clothing, sat himself further back on the bed, and waited for his lover to come to him.  Spencer crawled over looking down at the growing erection between Aaron's legs.  Instinctively his head stared to bow, his lips opening. 

"Not tonight honey," Aaron said, his arms wrapping around Spencer's torso, pulling him close, until their faces were only a few inches apart.

Spencer licked his lips, wondering why Aaron wasn't kissing him.  Another shiver went through his body.  Aaron held him closer until Spencer's heart started to slow and beat in unison with his lover's.  Aaron's lips touched Spencer's and stopped.  It was Spencer's turn to take the lead.  

***

Spencer began kissing Aaron. First on the lips but then he began trailing his jaw line and down his neck. He ran his hands over his lover's chest and then sucked a nipple into his mouth, tugging it gently with his teeth.

"Mmmm Spencer." Aaron threw his head back and moaned. It was enough encouragement to keep Spencer going even though he still wasn't comfortable. He hadn't even maintained an erection.

Spencer reached over to the nightstand and grabbed the bottle of lube. As he did he looked down at Aaron. He wasn't hard either. Usually by the time they had out the lube neither man could contain himself and were hurried to make love. Aaron looked as scared as Spencer felt.

Spencer bit his lip, Aaron thought this would help, and Spencer didn't want to be the one to stand in the way of progress. He squeezed the lube on his fingers, leaned down and began prepping his lover. He began slowly with one finger.  Aaron had never been penetrated in the past and had no idea how to relax, what muscles to push to help with the first entry.

Aaron sucked air though his teeth sharply.  He knew that it might be uncomfortable, but he didn't expect pain.

Spencer stopped and looked his lover in the eye, Aaron tried to smile, but the gritted teeth gave away his discomfort.  Spencer leaned over parted Aaron's lips with his tongue and began kissing him deeply. With his free hand he stroked his partner, trying to help him move past the pain and begin to enjoy what they were about to do.

Just then Spencer realized something that should not have taken a genius to figure out. He didn't want to do this. He wasn't enjoying himself and from the looks of it neither was Aaron.

"Fuck me." Spencer suddenly said out loud removing himself from his lover.

"What?" Aaron opened his eyes and asked confused.

"You know you want to, I can't do this. Our sex life is fine. I need you inside of me, not the other way around. You know you agree, just hearing me talk like this has you hard as a rock. Now get over yourself and take me." Spencer demanded.

His cock was at attention and the feeling of control pulsing through his body made him feel like a new man. "You wanted me to be in control, so get off your ass and onto mine!"

Aaron looked him directly in the eyes for just a moment. For that second Spencer didn't know how his partner would react. But all of a sudden he found himself face down on the bed. Aaron had him flipped and pinned in no time.

Apparently Aaron did not need to be told twice.

Spencer cried out in pleasure as he felt his lover take a bite out of his left butt cheek. Oh god, the sex was going to be rough, but it was going to be good.

"You like that baby, does that make you hot?" Aaron had Spencer's hair in his hand and was pulling him up from the bed with his lips right against Spencer's ear. "Do you want me to fuck you? Do you want me to stick my big hard dick in your ass, is that what you wanted all along?" Aaron had started prepping Spencer and it felt amazing.

"Yes sir, please fuck me. Make me come. Give it to me!" Spencer was pleading with Aaron. His cock was rubbing so hard against the bed he feared he would chafe.

"Hands on the headboard... Now!" Spencer did as he was told.

"Yeah, I'm gonna give it to you, that's for sure!" Aaron began sliding his dick inside of Spencer. It felt so good Aaron knew he need to pace himself or else it wouldn't last.

"Ahhh..." Aaron moaned out loud as he began stroking in and out. This was right, this how it should be. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Spencer reached down and began to stroke his own cock.

"Hands on the head board I said!" Aaron barked. "Don't you listen?" Aaron spanked Spencer's ass.

"Ooh", Spencer was on the brink of coming, but controlled himself, he wanted to make this last. "I'm sorry sir, please forgive me?!" They hadn't played this game in so long, it had never been one of Spencer's favorites, but he was beginning to change his mind about it.

Aaron reached around and began fingering Spencer's nipple. Spencer let out a noise that almost sounded like a sob.

"Yeah is that good? Do you like that?" Aaron asked Spencer. Aaron himself was enjoying the game immensely.  Spencer was so tight and each thrust was so hot he became less and less able hold back the burning orgasm he could already feel in the bottom of his stomach.

"Aaron god please touch me, it's so good." Spencer was getting so close his nipples were hard and the fire inside him was burning through.

"Ask me properly and I'll stroke your cock so good you'll be coming for days." Aaron ordered.

"Please sir...please touch me, I'm going to come.." Spencer could barely get the words out.

Aaron recognized the pleading of his lover and knew he had no time left to play. He reached around and started stroking Spencer's penis and kissed his neck, all the while still toying with his nipple.

Within moments Spencer was pumping his seed and screaming out in pleasure. "Aaron, oh god, god, god...aaahhhhh. I love you, I love you...aaahhhhh."

It was too much for Aaron, he also exploded inside of Spencer, the tight convulsions of Spencer's ass sent him over the edge. He put most of his weight on his lover and came. "Mmmm, mmmm, yeah...I love you too baby...yeah..."

When they were through and lay in bed resting Aaron rolled over and looked Spencer inquisitively in the eye. "Get off your ass and onto mine?"

"You'll be coming for days?" Spencer shot right back at him.

"Apparently we need some new bedroom vocabulary." Aaron laughed and tossed a pillow at Spencer playfully.

"I could go to the library and find some books..." Spencer said going into genius mode.

"Oh god, never mind, we're fine!" Aaron threw his hands up as if surrendering a battle.

"I love you, tonight was great, the entire night... well maybe not that bit in the middle, but ... Thank you. You have come such a long way and I want you to know, I've noticed...it means so much to me... that you would try..." Spencer started tearing up.

Aaron simply leaned over and kissed him softly on the lips.

That's all that needs to be said when you're in love.
