I dislike saying this BUT Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds, if I did we'd see a lot more going on if you get my gist....

With a crooked grin that bared his perfect smile Derek watched as the team's curvy tech entered the room, he'd noticed a difference in her ever since she'd dropped her long term boyfriend. That'd been the making of them. Not the making he'd anticipated but it had made him see Tamara the way Penelope saw it and it made him step up to the start line and bring Penelope the ice cream she needed post breakup. He made her a priority like she should've been.

Ever since their banter had began to pick up and he enjoyed both living and celebrating the single life with Pen again. 'Well something blew in Garcia's wardrobe again.' He told her as he watched her approach him, the sway in her hips, the seductive grin on her ruby lips.

'I was feeling inspired by the colour fairy.' She retorted and spun around to show off her outfit.

'And you rock the look Baby girl.' He told her and moved the papers on the desk for her to sit down; she slipped on and looked at him side wards. 'Have I got pen on my face or something?'

'No you don't have me on your face. However much you beg me Morgan it's not gonna happen.' She told him and he laughed. 'I told you it was a one off, never again.'

'Behave baby girl, don't want to make people start rumours.'

'What like you have Penelope filled dreams? That when you go home at night you pine for me.' She teased and saw him divert his eye contact away; she leant forward and pulled him closer by his tie. 'What's up handsome?'

'Nothing.' He replied coolly.

'Uh huh and when did lying become your thing exactly?'

'It's nothing.'

'I'll be in my office when you're ready to talk about it, but either way I expect you at mine for the game tonight.' She told him, she gave his forehead a peck and slipped off the desk, she flashed him a smile and wink and went on her way.

Derek watched as her ample bottom moved with a slight sway as she walked off with her usual perfected swagger. He allowed his hands to go up to his head instinctively. This really wasn't getting any easier for him.

Ever since Kevin had jumped the Penelope love boat he'd been finding this knot in his stomach growing more and more. It wasn't a knot that he wanted to get rid off but more a knot he had no idea how to handle.

Sure Derek Morgan was your typical ladies man, at 6 foot 1 he found it easy to charm the knickers of a woman, he had the skin tone of... oh hell... a chocolate Adonis, it wasn't a lie, he'd used Penelope's descriptions on women more than once. The problem was he felt like a slab of meat to random women but he felt like a true empowered God around Penelope. To go with his God like complexion were the set of pearly white teeth hidden behind his, once quoted by Penelope, kissable lips, his eyes a brown almost light onyx caught women's attention and then there was his physique. He worked out and the way he dressed just proved it. It drew women in, made him feel somewhat less lonely.

The problem was whenever he looked at Penelope something in him flared up, like a fire that catches light to more things, it burnt away with intensity and nothing seemed to settle it. Whenever he looked at any other woman he felt nothing, there was no yearn for them, or pull to their personality because he was too busy making up comparisons.

Penelope was even in his sleep and no one but him was going to know that, not until he knew how to deal with it. He looked down at the desk and laughed, Penelope had left a pen on his desk. Somehow she'd left that and a note, moving the sparkly pen he laughed to himself.

Turn that frown upside down Gorgeous. Or mamma will ban herself from your naughty fantasy world. What would you do then eh?

Love you handsome and be ready for a night of beers and belching yeah? The usual?

Looking at that note he couldn't help but frown. Hanging out with Penelope was the most natural and closest thing he'd ever gotten to his own domestic bliss. They could lay out on the couch, popcorn and junk out, a six pack or two of beers in the fridge, the game on or a film and just literally doss out. He'd burp and Penelope would try and out do him. It just wasn't disgusting between them. He knew he had that to look forward to if a case didn't crop up on them.

But whatever he knew that as soon as his eyes closed to sleep Penelope would be right there; he just didn't know what form. He guessed he'd find out in a couple of hours.
