As you stepped out onto Rossi’s patio, the summer sun beat down on the skin of your exposed shoulders. The different, yet still prevalent heat radiating from the large serving dish of meat you carried also played a role in the ever-present sweat gathering on your upper body, but you trekked through the grass with a smile, attempting to appear unaffected.

Tara and Luke rushed to help relieve you of the burden in your arms, but you insisted they refrain.

“Ah, nope! This barbeque is all about you guys, okay—no helping!” You said to their many protests. Lightheartedly dejected they sat back down, offering their thanks as they helped themselves to the food.

You set down the tray amongst a swarm of arms crossing, reaching for utensils in bowls of potato salad and plates of freshly grilled vegetables. You took a moment to admire the feast occurring before you, then turned on your heel to fetch more.

You and Penelope had made this plan weeks ago, just as summer was beginning to heat up and just around the time you’d joined the BAU team as Emily’s personal assistant. After a series of difficult and depressing cases, Penelope suggested that a family get-together was in order, and she enlisted your help to plan it. She, with Rossi’s help, secured the tables and canopies for the event, while you handled the menu and the serving.

You weren’t much of a gourmet chef, but you had a few tried-and-true summer recipes in your back pocket for times like these. From years of family barbeques of your own, you’d honed techniques for preparing brisket and grilling chicken, and you’d also learned a thing or two about making macaroni and cheese and fruit salad.

Under the shade of your sundress, nerves wracked your steps. Despite the bubbly facade and easy-going assurances to the team that you didn’t need any assistance, tremors radiated through your body with each dish that was carried to the outdoor tables. The shaking wasn’t due to their weight or your lack of strength; it could all be attributed to anxiety and stress and upcoming exhaustion.

This was the first time you were attending a BAU “family” event — let alone orchestrating one — so you had put a lot of pressure on yourself to impress the team.

They saved lives and solved crimes across the country while you did mostly clerical work — filed papers and answered phone calls. The division of labor was definitely lopsided, and you felt a certain level of gratitude was in order for the team. For those who did impactful work.

Just as you’d returned to Rossi’s kitchen to retrieve another dish for the table, Spencer appeared behind you. His subtle cologne filled the air; despite summer raging on outside, he smelled of autumn with his cinnamon and coffee scent. The heat of his arm rose goosebumps up your body, but he shifted to stand next to you before anyone could notice the proximity.

“Let me help, please,” He whispered, prolonging the physical contact that was typically out of character for him. As if all the heat of summer wasn’t enough, the pool of warmth he summoned inside you lit aflame with his pleas. When you finally met his eye, that fire reached your cheeks before you could do much to hide it.

Something that you’d once brushed off as a workplace crush blossomed between you and Spencer. Although you weren’t together, there was no denying the tension felt between you two when your hands brushed at the coffee counter in the office, or when you lingered over his shoulder for just a second more than necessary when passing out case files.

Lately, it had been a lot more difficult to will the thoughts away with how the heat of the season forced Spencer to shed his typical layers of clothing. Even now, he stood beside you in a simple polo shirt that clung to his chest. You could almost feel the buttons between your fingers, sliding through the fabric as your eyes grazed over him — but the oven alarm began to blare, dragging you away from the fantasy.

“Spencer,” You took a few steps away from him, pulling a few dishes from the oven and placing them on the counter. You failed to hide the smirk his presence pulled out of you. “You know this is supposed to be about appreciating the team’s hard work. You should be relaxing!”

He rolled his eyes at your insistence, then glanced over his shoulder to ensure no one had yet to notice his absence. Luckily, they were still all consumed by the fruits of your labor — literally and metaphorically.

“Your hard work should be recognized too. You’re going to overexert yourself,” His pleas felt like music and dissonance in your ears. On one hand, the attention he paid you made your knees weak, and it was obvious by the heavy breath in your chest that you enjoyed his company. But on the other hand, you felt resolute in the objective to purely serve the team tonight. The desire to praise them for their work — the desire to feel accepted by them — triumphed over the crush you’d developed on Spencer, at least for now.

“I’ll be fine. Now go back and enjoy before someone else thinks I’m accepting helpers,” You responded, flashing a tender smile as Spencer stayed in hesitation. A flash of something crossed over his eyes — irritation, desire, annoyance, or pity, you couldn’t quite tell. All you could recognize was the way his feet dragged in defeat, leaving you to your serving duties quite slowly.

Although not a profiler, you could’ve sworn he seemed spurred on, like he had to hold himself back from acting on an urge to advance on you. You brushed the thoughts away as best you could for now, returning your focus to the task at hand.

The next few hours were a flash of food and drinks and summer heat. Jack, Henry, Michael, Hank, and all of Matt’s kids ran around the tables with their popsicles, definitely giving the ants in Rossi’s yard a feast of their own. Everything from cucumber salad to watermelon slices, to vegetable kebabs made their rounds down each table, visiting each BAU member.

The scent of lavender, peppermint, and citrus candles mingled in the air in an attempt to keep bugs at bay. But a symphony of crickets and cicadas still played as a soundtrack to the feast, and you watched as Emily and JJ were vigilant against flies that threatened to join the party, swatting around the food every few minutes.

You spent most of the event rushing around, finding places for each dish to reside while the rest of the team balanced between repose and indulgence. Tara, Emily, JJ, and Penelope raved about the veggies, while Morgan and Rossi praised the beefier selections you’d prepared. The team showered you with compliments, but you continued to deny their requests to help.

Food acted as an avenue for both nourishment and gratitude that you felt was desperately underserved to your new family, and accepting their help seemed to cheapen that sentiment.

Maybe it was all the incredible ways in which they brought peace to people or all the times that they helped you feel at peace with their work; regardless, you felt they were owed some home cooking and summer relaxation, and you wanted to be the one to give it to them.

“If I had known you could cook like this, I would’ve suggested this barbeque months ago,” Rossi quipped over his clean plate. It must’ve been nice for him to not be the head chef for the team for a change.

“Yeah, I haven’t eaten this good in years,” Emily chimed in, with agreements made by Matt and Morgan. Their wives nodded with them in earnest agreement.

As the sun began to set, a wash of pinks and purples created the perfect backdrop to the barbeque. Penelope had the idea to set up tiki torches, which you lit with Hotch’s help. Their gentle glow kept the brightness at a dim level while still ensuring sight to guide you as you continued your service.

Although the energy level had died down quite a bit thanks to the heat of the day and the abundance of food everyone had, the team was still rapt in lively discussions as you served dessert.

Blueberry pie with a lattice-style crust, chocolate cake with matching frosting, and homemade vanilla bean ice cream graced the tables. You weren't usually one to brag, but even you had to admit the delicious sweets were a perfect final touch to the event.

Even at dusk, the ice cream sweat and started melting almost as soon as it found its place on their plates. The sickly-sweet aroma from the pie carried on long after its trip in the oven, mingling with the already present floral aromas that seemed elevated due to the heat. You were surprised the barbeque hadn’t summoned neighbors, or at least more bugs.

Residual summer heat could be so damning yet comforting all at the same time.

With dessert served, you finally allowed yourself to sit and join the team. The aches in your feet and back that had gone unnoticed during the hours of cooking and service finally surfaced as your weight shifted, encouraging a painful rest to overtake your limbs. Without realizing it, you’d slumped over in your chair for quite a while, staring out into space as the party continued around you.

That was until Spencer detected your quietness and waved a hand in front of your eyes, commanding attention.

“Are you okay, y/n?” His voice was barely audible over the discussions happening around you. But, you still nodded, straightened your back, and reached for a slice of pie.

“Yep, just got distracted,” You gave him a small smile, but you could see that he didn’t quite believe your performance. The fatigue in your body was incredibly apparent, and the look behind your eyes was one of exhaustion. However, Spencer hesitated to react to his observations.

You weren’t sure what you expected him to say or do about it, but you watched as he pursed his lips together in contemplation — planning something.

Whatever he was scheming, it was set in motion as Matt and his family departed. Following him were JJ and her loved ones, plus Emily and Tara. They all offered repeated praises to you, Penelope, and Rossi as they crossed the threshold into the blackness of summer night.

Before you could completely gather your things, suddenly Spencer pulled you aside and insisted on coming over to his apartment tonight. His usual dismissive, demur demeanor had changed, and he loomed over you with a sort of persuasive aura that radiated from his request. It was as if he was protecting you from something, or rather, preparing you for something. Either way, anticipation dripped from his words as you stared back, silent, in response.

“I-If that makes you uncomfortable, by all means, ignore me,” he spoke in hushed tones. “But I really think you’ll enjoy it if you come.”

If you hadn’t been so exhausted, the absolute shock from his blatant flirtation would have caused your breath to catch in your throat before you could ever eloquently reply. However, with the fatigue wracking you, all you could do was scan his face for any sign of sarcasm.

He seemed to be genuine, and your body instinctually gravitated toward him with the offer. It went without saying that this invitation felt incredibly forward, but the sleep that threatened to overtake you also kept you from worrying too much about the obvious blush that spread across your face at the thought of what leaving with Spencer would look like to the rest of the team.

Objectively, though, Spencer’s apartment was closer than yours, and you weren't sure if you could handle the lull of a drive this late at night. You justified to yourself that accepting his offer was out of a precautionary notion — but in all honesty, the seductive implications of Spencer’s plan were what really captivated you, and pulled an ‘okay’ from your lips.

You’d spent all night denying requests, and you didn’t want to forgo this one.

In the passenger seat of Spencer’s rarely-driven car, your body pulsed with fatigue at every stop. You wondered if he could sense it radiating through you or if he was just burnt out on masking his flirtation towards you all day, as you caught him glancing at your body at every red light. Each push and pull brought on by inertia briefly relieved the pain, then rushed it back in, but his gaze did give you another sense of relief.

Thankfully, the drive was short, and the walk up to Spencer’s door was aided by his hand on your lower back. With drowsiness prevalent in every step, you took a moment to check your surroundings and ask yourself if this was truly happening. The flirtation, the lingering physicality between you two, and the blushes that damned every innocent conversation you’d had together seemed to rise to the top of your brain at that moment as you recognized the reality you’d found yourself in.

Aided by his unabashed touch on your back, your awareness of reality fed your deep desire that he truly led you here for scandalous reasons, but the rational side of your brain that was just barely awake triggered anxiety to flare. Fear of unknowns, of rejection, or maybe both floated up your spine and burned in the impression of his fingers upon you.

But, then his door swung open. Almost instantly after you walked inside and he shut the door, Spencer knelt on his knees before you. The swift change in position made you stumble backward, and confusion spread across your face.

“What are you doing?” The question bubbled out of you fast, but you hadn’t meant to sound disinterested. It was alarming, for sure, to abruptly feel the heat of his body so close to your aching legs, but that didn’t mean the view wasn’t incredibly alluring.

“I’m taking care of you,” Spencer responded, his voice was quiet but poignant as if this was standard procedure.

You stood frozen as he slid the strap of your sandal down the back of your heel, and his fingers brushed against the veins of your feet.

“You took care of us all day. Now it’s your turn to relax.”

Taken aback by his sudden servitude, no verbal response came from your mouth. Instead, you melted under his fingertips as he slowly removed the other shoe, then traveled up your calves to pull down your sheer stockings. The gesture was so intimate, so quiet, so tender. Paired with the exhaustion and excitement and bewilderment, the elegance of his touch brought tears to your eyes.

Spencer stood back up slowly, his lips ghosting over your arm on his ascent. Your eyes met in the dim light of his apartment for the first time, both sets deepened with a near primal sense of surprised attraction. Your body felt as if on fire, vibrating, or possibly both with how electric your nerves were with your closeness and the threat of his impending adoration.

Just as the summer sun had earlier shone on your exposed shoulders, the richness of Spencer’s deep brown eyes was now affixed to them. His index finger wrapped around the thin strap of your sundress, pulling it over the curve of your shoulder at an agonizingly slow pace. It was so soft yet so tense — neither one of you had made a sound in what felt like minutes — a whimper threatened to fall from your lips just as Spencer’s eyes flickered back to meet yours.

“You overexerted yourself,” Spencer echoed what he’d warned you against earlier in the evening, breaking the silence. You couldn’t help but wearily smile at the re-use of his own words.

“I think I’ll accept a helper now,” You replied hushed, voice wavering so much you thought it might shatter if any more than a heavy breath was expelled from your throat. The twitch of a smile spread across Spencer’s face just as you had the thought — as if he’d read your mind.

But the silence resumed, and Spencer’s hand sent the top of your sundress cascading down your forearm. The fabric halted at your wrist, and as Spencer coaxed the other strap down the opposite side, he slowly exposed your chest to the cold air of his apartment.

After a day in the sun, his air conditioning felt arctic, and despite the heat pooling in the pit of your stomach thanks to his mannerisms, the tips of Spencer’s fingers iced over the skin of your décolletage.

Whether he noticed your shivering, or if this was all a part of his grander plan, you did not know. But just as the weight of the sundress carried itself passed your hips to pool at your ankles, Spencer clasped your hands together and led you toward his bedroom.

Again, anxiety pulled you from your lustful daze. Was this really happening? Had you been ignorant all along to Spencer’s advances, or was this just as spontaneous for him? It’s not like you didn’t want this — more so, you were just in a state of disbelief at the way the day’s events had transpired.

Disregarding the chorus of cicadas permeating his bedroom window, Spencer guided you to sit on the edge of his bed in otherwise complete silence. He knelt in front of you, mimicking your positions from the foyer. The arousal that sprung from you at his sudden movement made your cheeks blush a shade of red deeper than any summertime sunburn could create.

At the same time, you couldn’t help but become aware of the obvious disparity in modesty between the two of you now, but he caught your wrists before you could shift to cover your body.

“Are you sure this is okay?” He spoke up with a sobering tone. The wistfulness and tension were briefly broken, and you smiled at the notion that he still checked for consent despite all that you’d done so far.

“Not just okay. I want it, Spence. I want you,” Your voice, a little bolder now, seemed to boom in his most private room. Without another word, he guided your hands to the buttons on his shirt, before releasing your wrists in favor of splaying his hands across your thighs.

You inhaled sharply, shuddering at the contact. But it did make your hands move faster, pulling his buttons apart in a quite similar fashion to the eager way you’d daydreamed about doing so earlier.

Just as you’d completed the task and pulled the fabric of his shirt over his head, you felt the pads of his fingers reconnect with your legs and dig into the supple flesh of your thighs. A deep sigh left your lips almost instantly as he worked the worn muscles, firmly pressing into them. You felt the stress shift and dissipate, and your body reacted automatically to his ministrations.

It wasn’t until his massage traveled to your calves that more salacious noises fell from your lips. You knew that this kind of attention wasn’t strictly sexual, but the relief Spencer brought to you, to the tenderness in your legs and feet, demanded a vocal response.

At first, mewls and faint sighs responded to his help, but they deepened in tandem with his strength. The kneading of his fingers across the width of your legs, the pressure he placed upon your Achilles' tendons, and the force he pushed into the worn arches of your feet all played roles in the escalation of your noises into pure, wanton moans.

“You are so beautiful,” Spencer spoke into the landscape of sounds you were creating for him. “Not just like this, but all the time. The way you laugh, the work you do, in all the things you did for us tonight — you’re the most incredible woman I’ve ever met.”

His impromptu speech stunned you for a moment, and you did your best to keep your interjections to heavy sighs to truly listen to him. But his praise wasn’t something you were used to, and although you’d been complimented all night at the barbeque, something about Spencer’s tone inspired a unique bashfulness.

“Stop,” You half-heartedly chuckled, unsure of how to respond to such an admission other than to dismiss it.

“I’m serious, y/n,” He continued, unfazed. “Ever since you walked through the doors at the office I felt…saved. I’m not religious but — I mean, you’ve literally got me on my knees here.”

Your face burned with the worship, and his joke inspired a smile, but you also did your best to relax your reactions and just take his confession.

“You’re smart, you’re sweet, you’re compassionate and caring, and I just feel like you deserve the world…I don’t know if you—if you’ve ever thought of me like this, but, I really do adore you. And I want to serve you like you did me tonight.”

With his previous, dominant stance seemingly shaken, you took the opportunity to run your hands up his arms and into his hair. He closed his eyes at the feeling, leaning into the touch and basking in it. Leaning in close, your lips met in a soft, slow kiss.

As you gently pushed against one another, your more primal drives slowly regenerated, and you pulled his hair tenderly to just barely create a separation. His eyes shot open, struggling to focus on anything else but your lips. With another gentle tug, you wound him back up to the previous tension you two had.

“Show me how much you adore me,” The command rumbled in your chest before you even truly processed it.

But that was enough for Spencer. With the ending of the last syllable, his eyes fell half-lidded, and he quickly pushed your lips back together.

The steady and slow pace you’d honed since arriving at his apartment was suddenly nowhere to be found. Desperation laced your every move as you traveled up his bed; Spencer towering over you, never disconnecting in your endeavor. You felt the weight of his body settle between your legs. Not only was his skin sweltering with heat, but you could feel how achingly hard he was through his slacks.

You kissed with the desperation of a couple saying goodbye. It was as if both of you were grasping at each other, fearful of any distance that may find its way into your embrace. As your eager hands traversed down his bare chest and stomach, Spencer rushed to match your near nakedness through a rather clumsy removal of his pants.

While the sweet and savory scents of summer seemed distant now, everpresent was the smell of Spencer. Coffee and cinnamon filled your nose once again as his hair cascaded over your face, sweeping behind his trail of kisses down your chest.

He paused on the journey, motioning for you to lean upwards where his lips found yours in another fit of passionate kissing. He reached around you, unclasping your bra and gently guiding the fabric down your arms. Another shiver wracked through you as your breasts were finally exposed, but it was quickly remedied by the warmth of Spencer’s palms.

He cupped them softly at first, dragging mewls from your mouth that he used to slide his tongue between your lips. It wasn’t until he felt the shake of your muscles that he realized how uncomfortable the position must’ve been, leading him to push you back onto the mattress, palms still full of your tits.

With your mouths freshly separated, Spencer let a string of saliva fall from his mouth, coating the valley on your chest in a way that caught every moonbeam in the room. Leaning down, he pressed his lips to the plush swell of your breast, setting your skin aflame. You moaned shamelessly at the delicious pressure, earning a satisfied smile from the man between your legs.

You hopelessly clawed at his shoulders in an attempt to feel the press of his whole body against you once more, but he continued his descent toward your center.

Painstakingly slow, he dragged your underwear down your legs, watching your face for any sign of disapproval. When he couldn’t find any, he discarded them before guiding your legs up off the bed and resting them over his shoulders. You watched, enraptured, as he lay prone in front of you and met your eyes one more time before pressing a sloppy kiss on your inner thigh.

Shivers rolled down your spine, and you shook in response to what would be the most innocent of touches from this point on. Spencer seemed encouraged by the heavy heave of your chest, and he taunted you with breathy sighs hitting your folds.

His breath was hot, but it still inspired your body to shake as if freezing. He studied you in an almost delirious state of bliss as he controlled you with just his breath, before slowly licking a devilish stripe up your slit, collecting your arousal on his tongue like the sweetest summer dessert.

A pained moan escaped your throat, wholly miserable with how much he seemed to be holding back. You did your best to avoid clamping down on his head too harshly, but you couldn’t help the instinct you felt to pull him closer.

Then, he finally dove in. His tongue worked expertly — dragging and pressing and pulling around your bundle of nerves, and even circling your entrance. The lewd sounds coming from his mouth sparked your own in response, and soon you had your own debaucherous melody echoing in his bedroom.

He flattened his tongue, pressed it against your clit, and wrapped his arms around your thighs, giving himself leverage to apply the pressure to your most sensitive spot that he could tell you were desperate for.

You felt his tongue flip and twirl around you, drinking in your essence as if he hadn’t already gorged himself on a feast of yours tonight. Dipping a little lower, his muscle plunged inside of you, inspiring an entirely different kind of pressure that tightened your core and commanded your body off the bed.

Moving his tongue back up to your clit, he lapped at it as he began edging a finger into you, causing you to grip his duvet in a misguided attempt to relieve the incredible tension building in your stomach.

“S-spencer,” You choked out, doing your best to keep your eyes open as the sight in front of you was one of angelic beauty — Spencer’s hair was completely disheveled, and although the room was only lit by moonlight, you could see the wild gaze his eyes held as he worked so hard to please you. You let out a feather-light moan.

But all you got in response was his dark eyes, filled with a fervor that you’d never seen from Spencer before. You laced your fingers in his hair just as he pushed his finger inside you, eliciting a new, loud groan from your chest.

Latching onto your nub, Spencer rolled his tongue over it with gentle suction in tandem with fast, shallow thrusts of his finger. He moaned against you, sending ripples of stimulation through your body, radiating from his mouth. He watched you the entire time, eyes trained on your face as it scrunched up in pleasure.

He feasted on you, and for the second time tonight, you relished in the fact that you had nourished Spencer so graciously.

With a tug of his hair, you finally felt the tension in your stomach snap. A string of moans bounced off the walls of his bedroom, but Spencer didn’t give in to distraction. He pulled off of you only slightly with a deep inhale but kept his finger moving to fuck you through your orgasm.

“That’s it, pretty girl,” He cooed, bringing his other hand up to splay against your stomach, feeling the muscles spasming beneath his palm in time with the waves of pleasure washing over you.

He slowed his finger as your pleasure faded; the tension leaving your abdomen and a look of bliss covering your face, signaling your comedown. He withdrew his finger slowly before resuming his towering position over you, peppering your cheeks and neck with kisses.

Once some sense had returned to your endorphin-flooded brain, your hands roamed over the span of Spencer’s back. You resumed the choreography that neither of you had practiced, even though it felt so natural to you. Your lips found his once more, and eagerness leaked from his saliva as it mixed with the taste of you on his tongue. A low, rumbling moan echoed into your mouth as he gripped your waist and the nape of your neck roughly.

Your hearts were back up to racing, and you tugged at the tight waistband of Spencer’s boxers.

“Please,” Spencer spoke into your mouth, barely disconnecting your lips as he begged. “Please, let me fuck you.”

If the praise wasn’t enough to win you over, the absolutely distraught look on his face would’ve done the job. One part of you couldn’t believe that Spencer could be so commanding and servile at the same time, while another part of you knew this must be the purest form of Spencer that anyone had ever seen before. Apart from his previous partners, you felt as if you were the only observer of him in such a state of subservience. He felt totally and uniquely seen by you, and that’s all he ever wanted.

You nodded and mewled at his request, harshly removing his last remaining barrier before wrapping your legs around his waist. Your movements brought his dick closer to your heat, and you couldn’t hold back the tremors that overwhelmed your senses at the sensation. Kissing you once more, Spencer aligned himself at your entrance, mimicking the shivering of your body on such a hot summer night.

He pushed into you at a listless pace, wanting to give you all the time and space to get comfortable around him despite the instincts that begged him to act faster. His finger had done little to prepare you for his true size, and although you gasped sharply at the intrusion, your body was quick to relax and pull him further inside you.

You shared moans and whimpers on the slow endeavor, kissing each other wherever available — cheek, arm, neck, chest — until he was fully flush with your body.

“Thank you,” Spencer breathed out, so softly that you almost missed it. “Thank you, thank you,” He kept worshiping as you felt his hips stutter and his cock twitch inside you. The size of him, his breath on your neck, and the everpresent smell of sex all tethered together in your mind at once, sparking an almost insatiable desire to demand that he move. You knew the worship was all a part of his plan to repay you for the barbeque, but you echoed the sentiment back nonetheless in favor of a less sweet command.

But Spencer was no stranger to that desire. With gratitude filling the room, he couldn’t hold back any longer, and he began rocking into you just enough to pull moans from your lips. He caged his arms around your head, wrapping one palm around the back of your neck to hold you in place, while the other found itself upon your cheek once again. He couldn’t take his eyes off of you, watching as you moved against and around him with a delicious tightness.

He quickened his pace and relished in the way the pleasure presented upon your face. Your eyes screwed shut, mouth hung open in a string of moans. He mirrored your expressions, his bottom lip jutted out from his face, brushing yours with each harsh thrust forward. The pressure of him inside you was already swelling the knot in your stomach, and the stimulation melted all fatigue from the day away from your muscles.

Clawing at his back and arms, you opened your eyes to find him once more. The hand on your neck kept your gaze steady despite his rough movements that threatened your composure. There was a charm, a tenderness that you’d felt lingering between you two all night—hell, ever since your first day. From the moment you introduced yourself in the dawn of summer, to the moment he dropped to his knees and begged for you, an intensity magnetized the two of you together.

Before you could get too lost in the beautiful thoughts of your attraction, Spencer adjusted the angle of your hips, reaching even deeper into you. You couldn’t hold back the scream that left your body, and you felt yourself tighten around him as he drove into you at an incredible rate.

Spencer was already close — you could tell by the way whimpers fell over your neck with his every thrust, and he blinked rapidly as if it would stave off his impending release. He called your name as a warning, implicitly asking for your guidance.

Now, it was your turn to beg.

“Please,” You pled, eyes half-lidded yet glued to Spencers. “Please, come inside me.”

He could barely hold back after your words, his hips even faltering for a moment. But he kept his pace, and you wrapped your arms around him tightly as your release teetered on the edge of his relentless pace.

“Fuck,” You felt Spencer groan into your hair as his hips slammed flush with yours. Warmth flooded inside you, and the sensation triggered your release soon after. Both of you clung to each other, panting and brainless with bliss, as Spencer slowly continued to fuck you through your climaxes.

As the tension and heat dissipated over your body, you and Spencer reluctantly pulled away from each other. It was the first time since you’d arrived at his apartment that either one of you had given into distance. He was gentle with the motions, watching the way your body shook with each rogue wave of pleasure as he pulled out of you.

When he was fully removed, though, you found yourself alone, laid out across his bed. As the heaving in your chest subsided, Spencer returned with a towel, cleaning you up with the utmost tenderness.

“Here, I can help,” You peeled your upper body from his duvet despite all the resistance in your overexerted muscles, reaching for the cloth only for Spencer to catch your hand before you could make it.

“I’m still serving you, okay? Lay down,” He chuckled at your attempt, finishing up with the towel and discarding it back in his bathroom. When he returned, he continued to refuse your help, pulling the duvet out from under you to tuck you in.

He joined you on the other side of the bed, brushing hair from your face as he settled under the comforter too. You laid facing each other, eyes grazing over each other's bodies in a much more romantic sense than you two had a few moments prior.

“Why did you do all that?” You posed the question quietly, watching his face intently for a reaction. Although anxiety may not be the best word for it, you did feel a bit unsure about what this night meant for your relationship. Was this a summer fling, a coworker crush, or something more real? Something that would permeate the seasons or something that you’d recall late at night in future solitude?

“Well, for one, because I like you,” Spencer said, laughing slightly through the ends of a few words. “But also because of all you did for us tonight. You worked so hard and you deserved to be spoiled too.”

The praise again brought a flush to your cheeks, and you looked away as you tried not to discount the way Spencer was feeling. Even if you were unsure of your deserving of praise, you had to admit it felt nice to be adored by Spencer, and it felt good to know that this meant more to him than something casual.

Despite the summer heat, you found yourself fully engulfed in his embrace. The cicadas’ chorus began to lull sleep into your heavy eyes, even though you weren’t quite ready to let go and close your eyes, which would mean missing out on Spencer’s reverent gaze.

“I like you too,” You finally spoke up, finding his hand in the darkness of his bedroom, and lacing your fingers together. “Thank you for spoiling me.”

“Hey—no more ‘thank yous.’ You deserved it,” Spencer replied, placing a kiss on your knuckles before shuffling further into the bed. You turned over, relaxing into Spencer’s warm body as his arm wound around your stomach, still holding your hand.

Summer heat can be more comforting than once thought, after all.

Easy Dutch Oven Chicken And Rice Camping Recipe!

New Post has been published on https://eazycamping.net/easy-dutch-oven-chicken-and-rice-camping-recipe/

Easy Dutch Oven Chicken And Rice Camping Recipe!

This is one of our warmest and creamiest Dutch oven camping recipes that will completely satisfy your craving for comfort food in the great outdoors. Enjoy this Dutch Oven Chicken And Rice Camping Recipe that uses simple ingredients and doesn’t include canned soup!

Chicken And Rice Camping Recipe by CampingForFoodies

Psst we’re compensated…see our disclosures.

Prep Required To Make Baked Chicken And Rice Casserole

When you are making easy camping meals that call for skinless chicken breasts that are cubed into bite sized pieces, it is easiest to prep the chicken at home.

I put 1 pound portions in quart-sized freezer bags and label it with the contents and date.

Then, I transport it (frozen) to the campsite and defrost it prior to making the meal.

There are very few veggies to prep for this recipe so I just chop the onion, garlic and parsley (which is an optional ingredient for garnish) at camp.

Methods Of Cooking Camping Dutch Oven Chicken And Rice

You are actually using two cooking methods to make this meal.

You will be heating your Dutch oven from below to brown the chicken and veggies.

Then, you will be surrounding the entire oven to bake the dish with the rice.

If you are making this as one of our campfire recipes, you’ll need to get your fire going in order to cook over coals (not flames) … you can also use charcoal briquettes.

Steps To Make Camp Oven Chicken And Rice

Step 1. Prepare your ingredients as directed.

One of the ways to make your camping dinner recipes really fast at camp is to do as much prep-ahead at home as possible.

Send me FREE camping tips!

I want “5 Secrets To Successful Camping Trips” plus weekly camping tips & recipes.

Step 2. Prepare your heat source for baking at an oven temperature of 350 F degrees.

You will need 25 total coals = 17 top / 8 bottom if you are using a 12-inch Dutch oven.

If you are using a different oven size, check our Dutch oven temperature chart to see how many coals you will need.

Step 3. Brown the ingredients using heat from below your oven.

You’ll melt some butter then sauté the onion, seasonings and garlic.

Then, you’ll brown the chicken and add the rice, peas and carrots.

You’ll top everything with the chicken broth and cover with your Dutch oven lid.

Step 4. Bake the casserole with heat surrounding the oven.

Camp Cooking Tip: If you are using a propane camp stove for this recipe, this is the point where you will need to add your Dutch oven dome and heat diffuser plate to circulate the heat up the sides and over the top of the oven for baking.

You will be baking this recipe until the chicken is cooked through and the liquid is almost absorbed.

Step 5. Add the cream cheese and bake till melted.

So many winter camping recipes are creamy and cheesy … the hallmark of good comfort food!

For this chicken and rice bake, the creaminess comes from cream cheese that is added just before serving.

Camp Cooking Tip: Watch for the liquid to be almost absorbed before adding the cream cheese because if you wait until all of the liquid is totally absorbed, the rice will have a mushy texture. Replace the lid and continue baking a few more minutes until the cream cheese is nicely softened.

Step 6. Garnish and serve.

You’ll stir in the melted cream cheese, add a bit of parsley (if you’d like) and serve this hearty meal immediately.

Recipes Similar To Campfire Chicken And Rice

There are so many flavor combinations you can do with the base of chicken and rice. Here are a few of our family favorites:

Dutch Oven Thai Campfire Chicken: This is one of our almost-gourmet make ahead camping meals that you just dump and cook at the campsite.

Easy Campfire Dutch Oven Dijon Mustard Sauce Chicken: The secret to the amazing flavor in this meal is a really simple sauce made using Dijon mustard. I like serving this chicken over a bed of rice. It’s another great option for gluten free camping food!

Cast Iron Skillet Chicken Breast Recipe: The Mexican flavors in this dish are wonderful. The chicken simmers in diced tomatoes, black beans, corn and cumin until it is cooked through. Then, it is served over rice and topped with cilantro and avocado for a nice bright finish.

Middle Eastern Inspired Dutch Oven Chicken: Other than AMAZING flavor, the thing I like best about this recipe the comment I got from a reader, Carla. She said:

I gotta tell ya…this is my go-to chicken dish when I have company. It is phenomenal. I cook it all day so that the chicken gets nice and sticky. It is great to make the day ahead and even better as left-overs. I had people over for a Middle Eastern feast and they kept going back for seconds (and thirds) of this dish. I know some people are wary of cooking with fruit, but, one of the guys at my dinner absolutely hates fruit in meals. In fact, he was telling us, while he was eating this dish, how much he hates fruit. I waited until he was finished and said, ‘Weird. Cuz there’s both dates and apricots in that third helping you’re going for.’ HAH! Thanks for this recipe – it has a permanent home in my ‘winner’s cookbook’.

1 cup jasmine rice

1 (32 oz) carton chicken broth

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese cubed into 1 inch chunks

4 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (optional)

Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

This baked chicken and rice casserole requires an oven temperature of 350 F degrees so prepare your heat source accordingly. Initially, you will be using a heat source below the oven to do the browning then you will transition with heat above and below the Dutch oven for baking.

Heat a 12-inch standard depth Dutch oven over medium-high heat using hardwood coals from a campfire, charcoal briquettes or a propane camp stove.

Melt the butter in the Dutch oven pot.

Add the onion to the pot, stirring and cooking until it is tender.

Stir in the salt, pepper and thyme.

Add the garlic to the pot, continually stirring and cooking until it is fragrant making sure not to burn it.

As soon as the garlic is fragrant, add the chicken to the pot. Stir the chicken until the pieces are browned on all sides. This will take a few minutes.

Now, add the rice, peas and carrots to the pot stirring everything together to combine all of the ingredients.

Pour the chicken broth into the pot, cover with the lid and bake at 350 F degrees (25 total coals = 17 top / 8 bottom) until the chicken is cooked through and the liquid is almost absorbed. This will take approximately 30-40 minutes. Camp Cooking Tip: If you are using a propane camp stove for this recipe, this is the point where you will need to add your Dutch oven dome and heat diffuser plate to circulate the heat up the sides and over the top of the oven for baking.

While there is still some liquid in the pot, place the cream cheese cubes evenly across the top of the chicken and rice mixture. Camp Cooking Tip: Watch for the liquid to be almost absorbed before adding the cream cheese because if you wait until all of the liquid is totally absorbed, the rice will have a mushy texture. Replace the lid and continue baking a few more minutes until the cream cheese is nicely softened.

Remove the lid, stir the melted cream cheese into the chicken and rice then top with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

A less expensive option is to do what we do - the supplanted kitchen cookware turns into the outdoors cookware like clockwork - sure it might be old and beat up by at that point, however that makes it ideal for outdoors as you no longer need to stress over a couple of scratches, gouges, or dings.

What is an Electric Pizza Oven?

An Electric pizza oven uses electricity to heat the dough or frozen pizzas. These ovens are mostly small in size, when compared to wood-fired or gas ovens, and are suitable to be used indoors. They are compact enough to find a place on your kitchen countertop without taking too much space. These ovens are also portable which makes them easy to carry on road trips or while going camping.

Why Choose an Electric Pizza Oven?

Price – Non-Electric Large ovens, typically built for outdoor use, are very expensive when compared to electric pizza ovens. Electric ovens are generally affordable and produce good quality pizzas.

Size – Electric Pizza Ovens are small and compact. They can be easily used indoors as they occupy less counter space. They are also portable due to their size so they can be carried outdoors while camping or on road trips

Temperature – Electric Pizza ovens easily reach temperatures of 390°C giving the pizza an authentic Italian crispy texture.

Easy to Use – The electric pizza ovens are not complicated to use and the process to make pizzas, from scratch or frozen, is fairly simple.

How to use an Electric Pizza Oven?

Plug in the Pizza oven. Now, set the temperature to the desired level. Do remember that different pizzas require different temperatures. A thin crust pizza may require a high temperature while a thin crust pizza needs to bake longer at a lower temperature. Most ovens come with manuals that give clear instructions on heating the oven.

Once the oven has reached the desired temperature, place the dough and toppings inside and set the timer. You can also dust semolina or salt on the stone to make the stone non-sticky.

When the timer rings, remove the pizza carefully using a paddle. Voila, your pizza is ready!

Conclusion

Electric Pizza ovens make pizza baking fun, simple and quick. The ovens are compact and fit easily on the kitchen countertops. Moreover, they can easily heat to temperatures that are needed to create piping hot crispy pizzas like the ones you eat at your favourite restaurants. Most electric ovens are portable and can be carried to campsites or on adventurous road trips. Electric pizza ovens are a great investment for anyone who is fond of pizza but does not have the space for a large outdoor wood-fired or gas oven. We’ve mentioned 10 of the best electric ovens here, and the best one for us is the G3 Ferrari G10006 Delizia Pizza Oven because of its ability to make pizza crust crisp and its portability. It’s the most user-friendly out of all the electric ovens, anyone can literally use it! Safe to use too, a good choice of kitchen appliance when bonding with the family.

Sand and Sandwiches

When I posted pictures of Clacton Pier from our road trip last month, alot of friends recalled fond memories of their childhood, whizzing down the helter skelter and eating whelks on the beach. How many of those friends returned to Clacton between puberty and the menopause? I’m guessing zero.

British seaside holidays - especially those on the bracing North Sea coastline - are freeze-framed in our consciousness as an ice cream in a 10-force gale, or a sandy mouthful of picnic behind a wind break. That’s if you ever got out of the car to eat. My own holiday memories involve that great British institution The Car Picnic: cold baked beans on crispbread, washed down with a thermos of tea, watching the rain lash the windscreen before going to queue for Les Dennis and Dustin Gee at the Winter Garden.

When I was very young we would follow my half-sister (a dancer) around the seaside panto circuit, performing variously alongside Danny la Rue (the ultimate drag queen), Dickie Henderson (a comedian I announced I wanted to marry, aged 5) and The Clitheroe Kid (there would have been no Crankies without him. You figure out if this was a good thing). Any dreams I had of a career in showbiz were quashed by seeing the leading lady in Robinson Crusoe sitting in her dressing room in a candlewick robe drinking soup out of a flask and puffing aggressively on a Malboro’ Light . Cold soup did not signal glamour, and no amount of gourmet gazpacho over the years has made me change my mind.

But back to Clacton. We had come for the day from our glamping site near Colchester (Covid has done nothing if not made us adventurous), hoping to build better seaside food memories in a post-Jamie Oliver era.

It didn’t bode well that we couldn’t get warm. Icy winds blew from the stall selling an irresistible if confusing combination of ice cream and chips, right through the rat run of Vegas-adjacent slot machine arcades, where you could win anything you wanted as long as it was a baby Yoda.

But nestling in the back streets was a cafe called Tracie’s which, unlike those around it, was teeming with people. Its fogged up windows promised warmth, so we snapped on our face masks and dived in.

And we were rewarded. While Adam couldn’t think past a burger and chips (no blame there) I noticed a chalkboard with their special of the day: goat curry. I figured that restaurant which stakes their reputation on a goat curry has to serve a good one - and I wasn’t wrong. Dark, glossy and caramelised from long, slow cooking, with just the right lick of habanero chilli pepper and meltingly tender potatoes, served with a flavourful jollof rice.

From the gleeful expressions of our fellow diners it seemed that Tracie, the owner-chef, is turning out plate after plate of delicious and consistent food - including Adam’s burger and crispiest fries. But that curry, over and above all else, banished all my dodgy seaside supper memories for good and replaced them with a whole bowl of yum.

I went straight home and experimented, and here is the result. You might feel like an ice cream to follow (with or without a side order of chips) so my choc chip sorbet ice cream should fill the bill nicely. And if, like me, your childhood is sprinked with the crumbs of a back seat picnic, then I hope that my Pork Cholas will change the course of your summer outdoor eating.

Goat Curry

Unlike Tracie, I have developed this as an off the bone curry. Still full of flavour but less fiddly to eat. Serve with jollof, coconut or plain basmati rice. Serves 6-8

Ingredients:

2kg goat leg, off the bone and chopped into generous chunks

4-5 garlic cloves, crushed

1 red pepper, cubed

1 scotch bonnet/ habanero pepper seeded and chopped finely

1 in piece of fresh ginger, grated

2 tsp kosher salt

2 onions chopped

1-2 tbsp. Sunflower oil

Few sprigs fresh thyme

1 tin cherry tomatoes

3 tbsp plain yoghurt

250 ml beef stock

1 small tin coconut cream

200g potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped

Curry Paste:

2 tsp allspice

3-4 tsp cumin powder

2 tsp. Turmeric

½ tsp. Cinnamon

1 tsp ground black pepper

1tbsp. Reloja powder (this is a Puerto Rican mix of toasted ground cinnamon sticks, dried chillis, cumin, pumpkin seeds, bay leavesm sesame seeds and cocoa powder)

3 tbsp sunflower oil

How to make

Marinate the goat in the garlic, ginger, salt, thyme and chopped scotch bonnet. Leave the flavours to develop over an hour or two.

Heat the oil in a large, deep casserole, then fry the onion and pepper until brown. Add the curry paste and fry until the oil starts to separate and the aromas hit you. Add the marinaded goat meat and stir until coated.

Add the tin of cherry tomatoes, the beef stock and the coconut cream, stir well to combine then reduce heat and simmer, covered for about 3.5 hours.

Add the chopped potatoes, then simmer, uncovered, for a further 30 mins until the potatoes are cooked but still holding together. Test the goat for tenderness - it should be meltingly tender - and serve.

Choc Chip Sorbet Ice Cream

How can you have an ice cream and a sorbet all in one? Simple - by using my friend Sam’s Chocolate Sorbet recipe (see my Last Kitchen Show blog) as a base, then adding whipped egg white, double cream and of course chocolate chips. An ice cream maker will make this effortless, but don’t despair if you don’t have one. Just remember to take the ice cream out of the freezer a couple of hours after freezing and whisk thoroughly before returning to the freezer. Serves 4-6

Ingredients For the sorbet mix:

200 g caster sugar

50g cocoa powder

50 g 70% dark chocolate, broken into pieces

1 tsp. Vanilla extract

600 ml water

To finish:

1 egg white

300 ml double cream

30g dark chocolate chips

How to make:

First, make the sorbet mix. Bring the water to the boil, then whisk in the sugar and cocoa powder. Simmer for 5 minutes, then take off the heat and stir in the chopped chocolate and vanilla extract until smooth. Cool (you can make this the day before and refrigerate over night)

Whisk the egg white to soft peaks, and in a separate bowl, whisk the double cream until just holding its shape. Fold the egg white and cream into the sorbet mix, then mix in the ice cream maker.

Five minutes before it is ready, add the chocolate chips to the ice cream as it mixes (or if you are not using a maching, add the choc chips after you have whisked the mix out of the freezer). Transfer to a plastic container, cover and freeze. Bring to room temperature for around 20 minutes before serving.

Pork Cholas

This is the national sandwich of Bolivia - probably getting its name from Cholitas, Bolivia’s indigenous women. You can just serve this with the traditional salsa verde but I also like to add a small dollop of Stokes Jalapeno Jelly for extra zing. I made my own crusty bread rolls for these photos, but sandwich making shouldn’t be a morning-long process, so just buy 6 of these and off you go. Makes 6 Cholas.

Ingredients:

1.5kg pork shoulder off the bone, skin removed and aside

1 tsp fennel seeds, crushed

1 tsp salt plus extra for salting the skin

1 tsp garlic salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 tsp chilli flakes

2 tbsp. Olive oil

300ml cider

6 crusty white bread rolls

Lettuce

Salted butter

For the salsa verde:

3 tbsp. Flat parsley

1 tbsp. Mint leaves

3 tbsp. Capers

6 anchovy fillets

1 clove garlic

1 tbsp. Dijon mustard

Juice of ½ a lemon

120 ml extra virgin olive oil

How to make:

First, roast your pork (you can do this the day before). Mix the fennel seeds, salt, garlic salt, pepper and chilli flakes in a bowl. Add the olive oil and stir to combine, then rub this all over the pork shoulder. Set aside. Rub salt all over the skin (which should be scored) and then pop, uncovered, in the fridge.

Heat the oven to 240C. Put the pork shoulder into a roasting tin and pour the cider around it. Pop into the over, uncovered and immediately turn the oven down to 180C. Pat the skin dry, salt again and put onto a rimmed baking sheet. Slot into the top shelf of your oven and roast skin and shoulder for 2 - 2.½ hours. The pork should be tender and the crackling super crisp. Set both pork and cracking aside to cool.

To make the salsa verde: put all the ingredients except for the olive oil into a blended and pulse. You dont want this mix to be super smooth. Tip into a bowl, add the olive oil and whisk. Cover and chill until needed.

Split the rolls and butter, then layer with a lettuce leaf, slices of pork, a tbsp. Salsa verde and a dollop of jalapeno jelly (optional) before sandwiching with the crusty top. Serve with shards of crackling on the side.
