A/N: I couldn't help but cringe at the possibility Emily might start dating Mick. This plot bunny came along to calm me down. This takes place immediately after the episode "Exit Wounds"


"Tell me you're kidding," Spencer Reid said to Emily Prentiss. "Tell me you're not seriously considering dating Mick Rawson."

They had just come back from a case in Alaska. On the plane ride back, JJ and Garcia had continued the conversation the three of had begun when they first got the call. Mick Rawson. He was handsome. Arrogant. Sort of charming. It's not that the thought of dating him didn't appeal to Emily, it's just that something about it it felt…wrong.

To Reid, however, she said,"That's none of your business Reid. And how did you know about it anyway?" Reid selpt most of the flight home.

"I wasn't sleeping that deeply on the plane. I couldn't help but hear you and JJ talk about it. I just think it's a bad idea. He's all wrong for you."

"Thanks for the input, but that's none of your business. Good night, Dr. Reid." She turned around and walked away.

"You know I'm right Emily. Because if you thought he was right for you, you wouldn't hesitate."

She stopped, turned around, and walked up to him. "Not that it's any of your business, but give me one reason, one good reason, I shouldn't go out with him. And if you quote a statistic to me, so help me God..."

She was still talking when he kissed her. That's why her mouth was open enough to accept his tongue when it entered. That's what she told herself as he kissed her. She didn't really have an explanation as to why she started to kiss back. As their tongues danced and intertwined, she became aware of gripping the front of his shirt. She let go as their mouths parted.

So much of that caught her off guard, including how much she liked it.

"What the hell was that?"

"I believe that's what's called stamping you down."

"That is not stamping me down."

"It's not?"

"This is stamping someone down." Emily grabbed him and pushed him against the wall as she started kissing him. Their lips touched, they tongues intertwined, and she pressed her body next to his. She felt Reid's hands on her head, his fingers in her hair. She felt his arousal in his pants, and she suddenly had the feeling she'd like to see it unfettered by clothing. After several minutes of this, they parted their lips and bodies.

Each of them looked at the other, a little taken aback by what had just happened. As they both tried to get a handle on the situation, they both licked their lips, trying to savor the taste of the lips and tongue they just experienced.

Emily recovered first saying," I have to admit, that is a very intriguing argument you made just now, Dr. Reid. I'm not completely convinced, but I'd like to continue the conversation about."

It took a few more minutes for Reid to regain his composure. "If you don't have any plans tonight, I'd be willing to continue it. I actually have a few more arguments to make. I could bring take out, a sampling of things I know you like a few things I think you might like."

"That's part of your argument?"

"Yes."

"Hmmm. Sure. Meet me at my place in an hour?"

"Sure."

They walked out together. They kissed again a few more times before they left in separate cars.
