Garcia knocked on Morgan's door and waited patiently for him to answer, but after a couple of minutes passed with no response she shifted the bag in her arms and pulled out her keys to unlock the door herself.

Morgan knew she was coming over today. Now that they were both single again they had started hanging out more and today they had planned a movie marathon. She didn't think he had forgotten considering he had dropped by her office on Friday to remind her and he seemed pretty excited about it. He must have just left to walk Clooney since she was a bit early. She didn't think he would mind if she let herself in and started setting up. After all she had let herself into his house, and he into her apartment, plenty of times over the last few months. So she used the key he had given her long ago and entered his house, kicking the door closed behind her.

She had run by the grocery store and grabbed some extra popcorn and chips before she came over, so she shifted the bag in her arms and started down the hall toward the kitchen with a small, happy smile on her face.

Just as she was about to turn into the kitchen however a door further down the hall opened. She smiled wider in anticipation of meeting Morgan, but froze in shock at what was before her. Derek Morgan, the Derek Morgan, walked out of his bathroom completely naked. Her eyes widened, her mouth hung open slightly, and the bag in her arms dropped to the floor. He turned around and he too froze when he realized she was standing there.

Droplets of water still clung to his well toned body, and it was a very well toned body, his eyes were wide and filled with surprise as he stood there staring at her. It was truly an amazing sight.

Suddenly she came back to her senses and blushed profusely before averting her eyes and bending down quickly to get the bag she dropped. As she stood back up she accidentally let her eyes roam back to his gorgeous body. What she saw made her blush even more and her heart start racing. There was no denying he was aroused by something. It was blatantly obvious since he was still frozen to the spot and not wearing any clothes or even a towel.

"Sorry, I'm…um, I'm just going to go to the kitchen and let you get dressed." She stuttered nervously, fighting hard to keep her eyes above his waist.

Her voice must have shook him out of his trance because he suddenly averted his gaze and shifted his feet slightly before turning around and walking toward his bedroom.

"Yeah, um, I'll be out in a minute, baby girl." He said as he walked stiffly away.

Penelope bit her lip and suppressed a moan at the sight of his retreating, and stunning, back side. She hurriedly walked into the kitchen, dropped the bag on the counter and fell into a chair with a sigh.

Heat was pulsating through her body and she fidgeted in her seat at the reaction he caused her. Her palms were sweaty and her heart was still racing. She always knew Morgan was drop dead gorgeous, but seeing him without clothes…well that was just breathtaking.

A thought suddenly popped into her head making her smirk and sit up a bit straighter. She wasn't the only one who had reacted to their little run in. His body had reacted to her just like hers had reacted to his. Only she still had clothes on. The thought that she could actually turn on Derek Morgan gave her a sense of confidence and power.

She could have fun with this. Not the teasing, joking kind of fun, but the kind that would test whether he really wanted her or if it was just a fluke. After all she couldn't be sure it was her that had him so aroused. It could have been the getting caught naked by a woman part for all she knew. 'Yes,' She thought with a small smile, 'she could defiantly have fun with this'.

And if it actually was her that made him react like that than that meant he wanted her as much as she wanted him. And she certainly wanted him. Of course she wanted all of him; his body and his heart, but she had long since given up hope of him loving her like that. Giving up on them ever being a couple didn't take away the deep, intense love she had for him though. That was still there, hiding just below the surface.

But if it turned out he was attracted to her than why not take what she could get? She could ignore her heart long enough to get at least part of Derek Morgan, right? Maybe she couldn't have his love, but at least she could say she tried. And if it didn't work out in the end, well she could live with it. She could do that. Right? Yes, she could do that, and she would.


So, what do you think so far? Review please!
