Hi All

This story started with a single chapter and some how evolved into this, I have posted chapter 1 to see if anyone likes it and if its worth putting up the rest of my story which is all but finished.

Its a little bit AU i guess and it take some important moments and twists them but doesn't discard them.

I really hope you like it, please let me know what you think because i'm not sure of it myself

Peace x

Derek watched as the dirty grub had his hands on his wife. The fear in Penelope's eyes crushed his soul, he had promised to keep her safe and throughout their almost eleven years of marriage he had failed her so many times. As he looked at her, their life together flashed before him, how she had loved him, shown him a life he only dreamed of, how she made everything better. For a moment time stopped and images of their life filled his mind.

######## TWELVE YEARS EARLIER##############

Chapter 1 The chase:

"Its ok I've been called worse" She said

She watched the reaction on his face, biting her lip shyly, and waiting for him to say something else. But he didn't, he just stared at her. She walked towards them to assist them.

"Can you help us the computer is giving us a hard time, and none of us can figure out how to track this cell call"

Penelope laughed; she doubted it was the computer and more the user. She took a seat and worked quickly. Hotch, Reid and Derek were dumb founded how something that had been trying to do for an hour took her a minute.

"That was quick" Derek said

"Next time I'll take it slow for you eyebrows" She said giving him a flirty smile, and then instantly regretting it.

"Oh I'm so sorry sirs that was out of line" She said quickly regretting her comment.

Derek laughed.

"Lets call it even" Derek said "And Hotch is the only sir around here"

Penelope laughed, and Derek couldn't keep his eyes of her.

"If there's nothing else I have to get back to some work" She said politely.

Hotch nodded.

"Oh" she said turning back to Derek,

"My name is Garcia, Penelope Garcia" She said "You'd think you would have remembered it we only met a few weeks ago" She winked at him and turned away.

For the first time he noticed how beautiful she was. When he and Hotch had arrested her, she intrigued him, but he couldn't look past the dark hair and clothes. And when she called him eye brows, he wondered who she thought she was. But now standing in the office, in more conservative clothing, her shining blonde hair pulled up neatly, he really noticed her. The way she turned to him slowly, the way she looked up shyly at him, it was a far cry from the over confident almost arrogant girl they had arrested a few months prior. As she walked away he thought he should go after her, he was drawn to her, he wanted to know her. But he had work to finish.

A few hours later Derek went looking for Penelope, knocking on her office door.

"Hey baby girl" he said, he had liked the way she looked at him before so he used it again.

She turned on her chair and looked up him. She smiled wide involuntarily.

"Agent Morgan" She said "What can I do for you?"

"First you can call me Derek, secondly I wanted to see if you wanted to come have dinner with me" he said.

"Oh no, I don't think that would be a good idea" She said biting her lip nervously.

Derek was shocked girls did not usually turn him down.

"Come on, it's just dinner" He said.

"Look" Penelope said "I appreciate the offer eye brows, but no thank you"

Derek stared at her for a second before turning and leaving.

Penelope watched him leave, cursing herself, why did she just say no to the most perfectly sculpted piece of human she had ever had the pleasure to lay her eyes on. That was why she thought to herself, guys like him were players; they would have their fun and leave her. But Penelope always fell hard, she put her heart and soul into her relationships, she would be just setting herself up for failure.

Derek left her office, he had set himself a challenge, she would have dinner with him eventually.

Derek chased after Penelope for month, she was stubborn and refused him every time, but he persisted and the more she said no the harder her tried. After four months of rejection Derek had enough, he needed her and he was going to convince her. He walked into her office without saying a word.

She watched him come in, she was ready with yet another rejection speech, and although she gave him props for persistence's, she wasn't keen on having her heart broken. He didn't say anything at first just picked up her hand bag and grab her hand pulling her from her chair.

"Derek" she said in protest.

He turned to her,

"Uh, baby girl I don't want to hear it, we are going to dinner" he said heading for the door.

Penelope cut him off and closed the door and locking it, she didn't want anyone to walk in on their argument. She turned towards him.

"Derek, how many times do I have to say no" she said sighing.

He walked closer to her.

"Why won't you say yes, it's just dinner" he said.

"No" she said shaking her head.

"Say yes Penny" he said getting so close now she could feel his hot breath.

"No" She said but her conviction was starting to waiver and she backed into the door.

"It's just dinner, what are you afraid off" he asked.

"Derek, don't you understand guys like you break girls hearts, I'm not ready for that right now" she said.

Derek was shocked. He was not a heart breaker, sure he had relationships that didn't work but they normally ended amicably.

"Baby girl" He said pushing her gently against the door.

"I promise I will never break your heart, just say yes" he said his lips inches from hers.

"No" she said smiling this time.

He took a chance and kissed her, softly at waiting for resistance, but none came. He pulled away looking at her.

"Ok" she said breathlessly "Dinner"

Derek smiled.

"Good, if I had of known kissing you would work I would have done it sooner" he said

Penelope giggled.

"By the way Derek, my name is Penelope, please don't call me Penny" she said.

He grinned at her.

"Alright, Penelope" he said accentuating her name "Let's go"

But it turned out to not be just dinner, they had connected on level that neither of them had ever experienced, Derek didn't want to say goodnight, dinner turned to dessert, dessert turned to a walk around the park, and that turned into Derek walking Penelope home, insisting she wouldn't be safe. They made it to her apartment door, Derek still didn't want to say goodnight, he stood in her door way facing her.

"I had a really good time tonight Derek" Penelope said, butterflies dancing in her stomach.

"Me to baby girl" he said, he reached up and touched her cheek. He watched her bite her lip, he could see her mind working, he wanted to kiss her, he needed to taste her again. He lent in and kissed her softly, waiting for her let him in and when she did he deepened the kiss wrapping his hands around her waist as she wrapped her hands around his neck pulling him into her. Derek fumbled with the unlocked door and let them in not once breaking contact.

Penelope led him to the couch, and the two of them collapsed on it, Derek pinning Penelope underneath him, he kissed her neck as she arched it allowing him free range, his kiss trailed down her body. Her soft skin under his lips made him want her, he had never felt this much need for one person, certainly not after just one date. Penelope pushed her hands up under Derek's shirt caressing his perfectly sculpted body as he turned his attention back to her lips. She felt his hand pushing up under her dress; she gasped and suddenly pushed him away gently.

"Sorry" Derek said pulling away so he was sitting up right looking down on, both of them breathless.

"No, don't be" Penelope said "I just, maybe we shouldn't"

Derek lent back down to kiss her softly, before standing and walking to the kitchen. He just needed time to compose himself; his body had reacted instantly to her touch. Penelope watched him walk away, she had ruined it, and even though she wanted to touch him, to taste him so badly, she was scared she would be rejected; she was not by any means the type of girl someone who looked like Derek Morgan dated. She stood following him to the kitchen.

"I'm sorry" She said quietly waiting for him to respond. He turned to her slowly,

"It's ok" He said "I'm sorry if I was going too fast, I've just never felt what I was feeling before, and I just needed you. But we can take it slow I won't pressure you into anything" he said kindly.

"Oh" Penelope said, momentarily stunned by his confession.

"Derek it's not that I don't want to, believe me that is not an issues" She said smirking, "But underneath all these clothes, I don't look like you, or probably the kind of girls you would date, I just don't want you to be disgusted" she bit her lip as he walked closer to her.

"Penelope, I think you're beautiful. Whatever is under all these clothes are no doubt just a beautiful as the parts of you I can already see" he said, his face inches from hers.

"I just don't want to disappoint you" she said "I don't want to wake up in the morning and this be over because I wasn't good enough" her eyes fell to the floor. Derek hadn't realized just how insecure Penelope was, she put on a brave front, but he had broken down her barrier.

"Baby girl listen to me" He said tilting her chin up towards him.

"I want to worship the body under these clothes" he said kissing her lips. "I want to know every curve" He kissed her jaw "Every line" he kissed her neck "Every inch of this body" He kissed her shoulders "I want you to know you are beautiful" he said kissing the top of her breasts as he gently slid her dress down over her shoulders, his fingers leaving a trail of goosebumps across her skin. "I want you to feel safe with me" he said kissing her lips as he reached around her back to unclasp her bra letting it fall away from her body. His hands danced across her hips before he pushed the dress the rest of the way to the floor, so she was left standing in nothing but her lace underwear. She self-consciously wrapped her arms her middle trying to hide her body that she was suddenly ashamed of. But Derek grabbed her wrists gently and pulled them away. Pulling himself closer to her all but naked body, kissing her deeply

"Derek" she said breathlessly as she felt his hardness against her, pressing gently as he kissed her.

"See what your body does to me" Derek growled "You have absolutely nothing to be ashamed off"

Gaining some confidence Penelope pulled Derek's shirt over his head, before freeing his body of his pants, he pushed her against the kitchen counter as his lips trailed down his body. He had every intention of showing her exactly what she had stirred inside him.

Over the next few months Penelope fell for him and she fell hard and she fell fast, how they managed to keep it a secret was beyond her. But they spent every second of their free time together, and Derek kept his promise to not break her heart, he had fallen just as hard as she had, and he worshiped her every chance he got.
