LIFE'S CHALLENGES

"Hey, guys," Hotch said as he headed back to the bullpen "hold up before you take off."

They all turned to look at him.

"I got some news. Since we have had such a great solve rate and barely any time off, the powers that be have decided to send us all on a much needed vacation."

They all exchanged glances. Prentiss piped in with "They want to what?"

"They just implemented new rules, to help with burn out, so they are giving us an all expense trip to the Dominican Republic."

"When do we leave?" Morgan asked.

"Tomorrow morning and it is for a whole week, inclusive."

They all turned to leave. "Have a good night all. See you in the morning," Hotch added.

{}{}{}

Morgan walked in his house and threw down his keys. He pulled her into a soft embrace.

"So, momma, gonna have us some hot beach sex," he grinned.

"Morgan, we can't! No one knows we are dating. Do you know how much trouble we would get into?"

"You can't sit there and tell me you can go a whole week without tasting and touching me."

"Oh contraire, my chocolate Adonis, it is you who could not go without me." She grinned and took off for the bedroom.

"Baby girl, when I catch you I will spank you." He laughed.

"Promises, promises." She giggled.

Morgan chased her into the bedroom and cornered her, bracing himself on the wall to keep her from escaping as he leaned down kissing her.

"Maybe we can use this trip to tell them?" Garcia asked him.

Morgan sighed as he tried to figure out the words to say.

"Come on, Derek, its been eight months now. We are living together. I want the team to know."

"But baby girl.."

"Derek, please," she pleaded with him.

"What if we lose our jobs? What if we have to break up?"

"I don't think we will have to. Hotch would be willing to stand up for us."

He tossed her on the bed."We can discuss this later. Right now I want you!"

"Come on, Morgan!" she said between kisses. "Not that I don't enjoy you- don't get me wrong- but we are a family and I hate keeping secrets from them."

He was working on getting her clothes off. "Hush now, woman. Stop talking about the others. You are ruining my mojo." He laughed.

"Darlin, I am not sure a cold shower could ruin your mojo once it got fired up." She giggled, tossing her dress across the room.

"It is not my fault that you drive me mad," he said, between kissing and tossing his shirt off over his head and following with his pants.

They lay there on the bed, her in a matching bra and panties and him in boxer briefs. Derek smiled as he braced himself on the bed as he reached across and undid her bra and flung it across the room not bothering to look where it went. Slowly he began to lavish her with soft kisses as he moved his way down her body stopping at her stomach. Briefly he stopped to look at her smiling as he gave her some extra kisses. Penelope reached up and slowly started to ease his boxers off of him. She let out a sound of deep pleasure as she felt him playing with her nipples in his mouth.

He knew it was something she really enjoyed during foreplay.

Penelope managed to get his boxers off- feeling that his erection was already fully present. He made his way down to her panties, gently putting his hand in the panties to feel that she was plenty wet for him. Reaching his hand out of her panties he used it to pull them off of her. He began to spread her legs and bring himself back up so he was kissing her on the lips. Slowly he started to tease her making her nails dig into his back.

Derek finally quit teasing her as her set the tip of his penis at her opening, feeling the warmth of her radiating out. He then gave in shoving his penis deep within her, thrusting it as he hears her moan while calling his name out. He thrust a little, and unloaded into her. They collapsed on the bed, sated, and cuddled in each others arms.

"This vacation is so needed." She smiled while kissing his chest.

"Oh baby girl, we need more than a week," he growled.

"There is always a honeymoon." She giggled, climbing back on top of him.

"You are insatiable." He told her with a chuckle, kissing her and flipping her under him.

"Oh sug, I'm not even trying," she purred.

"You do realize we need to get up early to pack, right?" he teased.

"Oh?" she laughed. "Do you want me to stop?" She asked nibbling on his erect nipples.

"Now, I didn't say that...now did I?"

"Just checking," she said, before wiggling out from underneath of him and kissing her way down his body.

She got up and ran out of the room as he rolled over and laid on his back.

"Penelope, where are you going?

She came back a few seconds later with a whipped cream can in hand and a big smile on her face.

"Baby girl, what is with you tonight?"

"Oh its nothing. I just wanted a little chocolate sundae." She shook the can as she squirted some on him and then put the can aside, kissing down his chest as he melted beneath her touch. His erection started to come back, making her wetness come.

She took him into her mouth and swallowed as far as she could get. She licked and sucked, flapping her tongue against the head as she did so. He wriggled on the bed beneath her. When she had him almost where she wanted him, she climbed on top and ground against his pelvic bone. He arched his hips to meet her thrusts and she felt him release just as she ground one last time against him and collapsed on his chest. She kissed him hard and then laid on his shoulder with her body crossing his, intertwined.

"You know I love you, right?" she coos.

"Of course. Why would you ever doubt that?" he asks brushing his fingers across her face.

"I don't doubt it baby, I just ...it's all new and overwhelming and I want to shout it to the roof tops...and here I lie and only you and I know."

"We will tell them, I promise, just not yet."

"Can't we at least tell Hotch so he can work on Strauss, so we can still work together?"

"Let's sleep on it. It is not long before we have to get up, pack and meet the others."

She yawned as she got comfortable lying against his side with her arm across his chest and her leg across his.
