Love Her....What?

May 2006

Chapter Fourteen

Morgan slept in late again the next day because of a long night of having sex with his baby girl. They had came back from the party and been all over each other in the hallway, still turned on by their kinky antics in the grove of trees.

They had kissed as they moved down the hallway and then fell into their room with their lips locked together. Her dress was ripped off. He pushed his pants and underwear down and took her against the door- while she wore her heels still- like a man who was about to go off to war.

She seriously made him lose his mind whenever he saw the go signal in her eyes. The world stopped and it was all about his baby girl for him.

They next moved to the shower to get cleaned up, with leaves still stuck to Derek in odd places, but only got dirtier in there before they finally washed themselves clean. After they fell asleep she woke up in the middle of the night and reached for his cock. That was some way to come awake.

His favorite way ever with his favorite woman ever.

When he woke up in mid-morning it was because of his damn cell phone ringing again. Penelope was laying on her stomach next to him, wearing her FBI t-shirt that was way oversized, and drooling on her pillow.

Groaning, as the sunlight hit his eyes, he reached for the phone on the night stand. Looking at the name he raised an eyebrow. Taking the call he said "Tell them to send the other team."

JJ replied "This isn't about work. I was wondering...is Garcia still there with you?"

"What gives you the idea that she's with me?"

"You were begging her to go with you, for starters."

"I asked everyone. Maybe she went somewhere else for her off time."

"Morgan, is she there or not? Because she said she was coming home last night and she hasn't answered her cell all morning. I went to her place and she's not there. I figure she didn't get on the plane but if she did then I'm worried about her so...give it up. I know you two went away together already anyway."

"She's still here and she's in good hands."

"That's good to hear. I was hoping you'd say that."

"Thanks for checking in."

"So....how are you two getting along? Did all that office heat follow you to the island?"

"Bye, JJ. See you next week."

She chuckled. "Tell her I said to turn on her phone or charge it or whatever."

"Will do. Bye now."

"Later, Morgan, and you be good to my girl."

"Always." He clicked off the call and climbed out of bed, yanking on boxers.

Penelope said in a sleepy voice "Why did she call in the middle of the night?"

"Open those pretty eyes, sweetheart. Its getting on afternoon already."

She groaned, reached for her glasses, slipped them on and then lifted her head from the pillow and saw the clock. Sitting up she smoothed down her hair and wiped her mouth. Then she told Derek "We'd both be fired right about now if we were back home."

"Calling off for hot sex isn't allowed?" he asked as he walked to the bathroom. "Are you sure? I think you need to check the rule book again."

"The Oracle of All Knowing already knows. So no weekday sleep overs for you, my love!"

"You're just talking crazy now, baby girl!" he called back as he chuckled.

XXXXXX

Penelope smiled as she heard his response.

She fell back on the bed. Her body was sore but the way it got that way was so delicious that she didn't mind the aches.

The shower went on in the bathroom so she knew she had some time to lounge around and think about this situation. Derek and her had turned a corner the day before. They both admitted they were in love.

Basically that they were in love for a while now and that this trip just made it all real. So real. His smell clung to this bed and her. Her body bore the marks of his love bites and his body had the scratches from her nails dragging across his skin.

There were still some lingering worries and doubts in her mind but she felt a lot more sure of them now. He wanted her badly. He wanted them to be a couple. He was willing to risk his heart-something he had never done since before he was in college. Basically in his whole adult life. He had already told her that last year when they were hanging around the conference room late at night- their version of dating.

They would talk about cases and get to know each other.

That's how she knew that he wasn't looking to ever commit to anyone. She didn't believe it at first but weekend after weekend of him leaving the bar with strange women that he never saw again convinced her. He wasn't someone to believe would want one woman. And if he did he wouldn't want her. He liked flirting but not taking it anywhere. She could see why. He could have the most beautiful and perfect woman. Why would he want the quirky and imperfect one?

But he did.

She always had believed he was an amazing man. He had his faults but he was a good guy and he was as brave, noble, and funny as they came. Now Penelope knew he was truly the best man she had ever met.

Her man.

Her grin grew. She could get very used to feeling this happy.

Three days later

She flirted with him, as they sat at a restaurant, "Well, this is certainly new. You taking me out to a fancy dinner. I thought you preferred room service so you could keep me in as little clothes as possible. Don't tell me you've ran out of steam, Hot Stuff?"

"Bite your tongue, woman."

She chuckled.

They were holding hands and giving each other sensual looks as they sipped their after dinner drinks. The waiter walked up and placed a small, chocolate icing covered individual cake in front of Penelope.

She said to him "There's been a mistake. We didn't order dessert."

Derek said "No mistake, baby. I called ahead for it."

She smiled and glanced down at it, as the waiter walked away, and then tears filled her eyes. The cake read:

Happy Second Anniversary, Baby Girl.

The year before he had been away on a case when this date on the calendar came around but he had mentioned to her over the phone "Hey didn't you start at the BAU just about a year ago?"

"What a good memory you have. Unless you have a little crush on me and that's why you remember so well the day you called me Gomez."

He had chuckled. "Both. I have an excellent memory and a wild crush on you. Happy Anniversary to us, Garcia."

"Be still my heart. You are the charmer, Morgan."

She didn't take him seriously then. Now she knew he was.

He reached across the table and wiped the single tear that fell from her eyes. "Hey, now, I know those are happy tears but I still hate to see my girl cry. Especially on our big day."

"Happy Anniversary right back at you."

After dinner they shared a moonlit walk on the beach, with her arm wrapped around his, and talked about the two years they had known each other. All the crazy things they said to each other and the times they were each other's support during a tough case. They had an instant chemistry on that day in 2004 but their bond was something that grew over time, as they figured each other out and learned how much better life was with the other around to joke with and lean on.

They shared a tender kiss as they stood on the beach, looking up at the stars, with Derek's arms wrapped around Penelope's waist from behind. For a long time he was silent. She could feel as the tension slowly increased in his body.

She finally asked "What's on that brooding brain of yours, my love?"

"Tell me we won't get messed up when we go back home."

She was silent for a minute and the air between them grew thicker, and steamier, than it had seemed before. "I don't want us to be but its hard to just believe we can get all we want this way. It feels like we're tempting fate or something. Like its all too good to be true and last."

"Do the frat rules scare you? Cause maybe there is some way around that, baby."

"Its not the rules. Its just that here its easy to be together and there its complicated. Neither of us have ever been in a long term relationship before. We work in a high stress environment that is like walking a tight rope some days and we can't bring our personal problems from home into there ever. Its ripe for disaster, logically, for two people on our team to date but the last thing I want is to believe is that we'll implode the second we get back in that atmosphere."

"We can figure this out together. So what that we haven't had long lasting relationships before?" He turned her around and looked down into her eyes. "Nobody could keep me till you came along with your dirty mouth and your sexy lips and your curvy ass that just begged to be spanked. Then I was caught." He kissed her forehead. "You know you want us. I know I want us. We can have us."

"You are so persuasive when you're horny."

He chuckled but corrected her "When I'm crazy about the girl and I am, Garcia. I'm crazy about this girl...You should meet her....She's so sexy and fun to be with and she's making me change my whole game up.....She's my world now."

Penelope hugged him tight. "I bet she's not half as fabulous as my Hot Stuff. He's a real life superhero and he has abs of steel!"

He chuckled. "You're crazy, woman."

"And you love me so what does that make you?" she teased.

They both were smiling widely when they walked back to their room. That night they watched a movie and fell to sleep early, with her head on his chest, still smiling at how good they felt. Everything was still new as far as their romance went but their hearts knew what their brains were just figuring out. There was no way to deny how good they were together and to be apart would only leave them both lonely and aching for the other.

And that was no way for Derek's baby girl and Penelope's Hot Stuff to live their lives. So they would just have to figure out a way to keep their love going back at the BAU. They may be leaving Jamiaca behind but they would never be able to leave behind the bond between them.
