{lyrics from 'sway' by micheal buble..}
"when marimba rhythms start to play.. dance with me.. make me sway,
like a lazy ocean hugs the shore.. hold me close.. sway me more.
like a flower bending in the breeze.. bend with me.. sway with ease,
when you dance you have a way with me, stay with me.. sway with me.

other dancers may be on the floor, dear, but my eyes will see only you,
only you have that magic technique, when we sway i go weak(!)

i can hear the sound of violins.. long before.. it begins,
make me thrill as only you know how.. sway me smooth.. sway me now..

other dancers maybe on the floor, dear, but my eyes will see only you(!),
only you have that magic technique(!), when we sway i go weak!

i can hear the sound of violins.. long before.. it begins,
make me thrill as only you know how.. sway me smooth.. sway me now..
when marimba rhythms start to play.. dance with me.. make me sway,
like a lazy ocean hugs the shore.. hold me close.. sway me more..

like a flower bending in the breeze(!), bend with me(!), sway with ease(!),
when we dance you have a way with me.. stay with me.. sway with me,
when marimbas start to play!, hold me close, make me sway!,
like an ocean hugs the shore!, hold me close.. sway me more,
like a flower bending in the breeze!, bend! with me!, sway with ease(!),
when we dance you have a way with me(!), stay with me(!), sway! with me!"

Penelope felt the cold window against her bare skin and gasped from the shock of it. The storm was raging outside, but it was as if it were happening far away, or that some god had turned down the sound. She was completely focused on Derek and all of the things he was doing to her. She worried for a moment that someone would see them, but the next second Derek pressed in closer and bit down gently on her left shoulder, rendering her mind useless.

There was a flash that split the sky, and the thunder bellowed to the night.

Penelope moaned pitifully as he trailed kisses from her shoulder to her neck and nibbled and licked her into a tizzy.

Derek let the windowsill support Penelope as he slid his hands from where they had been caressing her hips, up past her breasts and behind her shoulder blades, all the way to the shoulders themselves. And then he began to knead her shoulder and back muscles with his crafty and cunning fingers.

The rain pounded into every surface, soaking the earth to the core.

Penelope twisted and gasped as her nerve-endings began to sing. "Derek Morgan! Are you massaging me AND screwing me at the same time?"

Derek grinned, but didn't stop to properly reply. "Mmhm", was all he answered, moulding her like clay.

"Remind me why we never did this before?", Penelope asked breathlessly, her body conducting an electricity it had never felt before.

"Probably the same reason that you won't just shut up and enjoy it", Derek replied cheekily, giving her a quick kiss that stung when he pulled away to make his point.

"Right", Penelope nodded, pulling his head roughly back towards her and kissing him fiercely to prove that she was all done talking.

Derek growled feral and dangerous from deep within his throat, rasping his tongue from base of Penelope's neck to just behind her ear. This drove Penelope mad and she reacted by pulling Derek as close to her as they could possibly get.

The trees howled in the sway of the wind.

"Oh god, I love you..", Penelope hissed so sharply that it pierced Derek's heart. "Don't stop. Do you hear me? Never ever stop this", she begged, her nails sinking into the skin of his back. "Please.."

Derek placed his hands on the icy glass on either side of Penelope's head and pushed her back until she was flat against the pane, all the while stifling Penelope's cries with a strong, steamy kiss.

Tears of blissful joy seeped from the corners of Penelope's eyes as she felt the love and reassurance behind his actions. "Oh Derek- I need you!-" she wailed, breaking away, "I need you right now so bad!"

"I'm right here, baby girl", Derek purred in her ear, "Always right here.."

A bolt of lightening cracked and spattered the air with charged electrons, leaving a biting metallic smell.

They were both perspiring profusely from the sheer effort they had put into their love-making, which continued to increase in intensity and then ebb away slightly when the heartache of it was just too much to bare.

"I can't take this anymore!", Penelope half screamed half whispered, her mascara and eyeliner smudged way beyond repair, "You're driving me crazy!"

"Hush, women", Derek ordered, dominating her, "Don't you dare quit on me now."

"I really don't think that's possible!", Penelope squeaked, trying her best to breathe. "Oh god- whhhyYYYYY?- uh!- ahn!- nNO! Derek!- derrrrREEK!-

Derek reveled in the fact that she'd gone utterly wild. She clawed at his arms and snapped at his lips and twisted and moaned her throat nearly hoarse. Their worlds were burning a dark, destroying fire that sought to consume them wholly.

"Burn with me..", he snarled in her ear.

A surge of molten electricity smote the trunk of a tree, splitting it asunder and sending plumes of splinters through the air.

Penelope had no words left to reply. Her breath was ragged, in shreds. Colors began to spin and burst behind her eyes. The pressure was too great. She gave into the darkness.. and knew no more.
