Summary
Once they’re out of the smoky casino air, no longer ingesting alcohol, clarity seems to return in slow increments. Something peculiar about it, though, is the way Hotch doesn’t feel any less giddy. He catches Emily’s eye out of the corner of his, quickly looking away and hiding a smile. If there wasn’t another party present, a middle aged, balding man who looked to be down on his luck and probably short a few thousand, he’d be all over her. It's arousing, the thought of what they’re doing. Thinking about it as a story to tell later, that time where he had a few too many drinks in Vegas with his colleague— his stunning, sexy colleague who he’s had a thing for since practically day one. She’s his subordinate, and there’s probably a rule or guideline against that somewhere, but he doesn’t care. It only serves to heighten his anticipation. His last thought before the elevator stops on the 23rd floor is that he should probably thank Reid for prolonging their stay, if only for one more night. One night with Emily.

Summary
“You know, you act all domineering because it’s how you lead, but deep down... You’re really insecure.”
He’s only a little taken aback by her bluntness. He’s grown to expect this kind of tonal shift from her, and he welcomes it. It may not be a distraction from his train of self loathing, but at least now he has someone to share it with. “Are you profiling me?”
“No, I just... You act different around me than you do around the rest of the team. Why?”
“I think you already know.”
