Derek snaked his arms around her waist for the umpteenth time that night, she felt good, she was perfect for him and he knew it. He was nothing but smiles that night, as he watched her waltz from person to person and then always go back to his arms, for a kiss or a gentle feel of his hand against her silky skin.

'You're a happy man.' She commented as they danced together, everyone looking as they danced around the happy couple.

'You make me a happy man baby girl.' He said and captured her in an igniting kiss as his tongue licked her lips for entrance which she accepted and then pulled away when the world seemed to catch up with them. He laughed slightly as her cheeks flushed a deeper pink than they already were. 'You look amazing.'

'Thank you handsome, you don't look too bad yourself either.' She smiled as she looked at him and saw his features. 'You really want this?'

'Don't be silly! Of course I want this goddess, I love you.'

'Good, I love you too.'

Hours later when the party was still in full swing and the engaged pair were having a quiet moment in the corner, their whole world wrapped up in one another and no one else.

'I forgot your present.' She told him as she stood pinned between his needing body and the wall, he quickly kissed her, completely insatiable tonight. 'Hot stuff...' She said pushing him away slightly but gave in and took his lips again, felt his left leg slip between her legs.

'What...' He asked nibbling her neck. 'Present?'

'You'll have to see.' She said her tone full of pleasure at his kisses. 'It's in the car. Think you keep your sex drive down while your moms in the room sugar pants?'

He groaned, she did it, the soft curl of her lips sent him into a mini frenzy. 'Yes.' He muttered and she giggled, the noise of it adding to his desires and he kissed her deeply before letting her go.

'No following, its a surprise.'

'You didn't have to get me a gift.'

'Hush up, you got one, I'll be right back handsome.' She said and blew him a kiss which made him sit down, he had to gain control, the woman was a vixen to him, quite like his drug, his own brand of pleasure and ecstasy, if a woman could be one.

After 10 minutes he was now impatient, he wanted her back in his arms, to dance with her before sweeping her off her feet and taking her home to continue their own celebration and give her, her own present.

He wandered outside into the parking lot, he didn't realise Hotch had followed. 'Penelope!!' He called as he walked towards their SUV, his pace picking up. 'Baby girl!'

'Derek what's wrong?' Hotch called out from the entrance.

'Pen, she came to the car to get a present for me but hasn't come back.' He said worrying now. 'Penelope!' He continued to yell, the panic getting more and more evident with his tone going up in octaves.

'Penelope!' Hotch said as he began to help him, the feeling of dread getting tenser.

It was then Derek froze in a spare car parking space about 3 cars along from his and Penelope's SUV, he crouched down and let out a painful gasp. Hotch moved around, crushed in Derek's hand was the rose that he'd give Penelope earlier that evening that she'd refused to put down, alongside it, nearly hidden by the shadow of the car, was a damp rag.

Penelope was gone.

Derek shot up awake from the same nightmare that continually graced his slumber, he looked at the bed space around him, he still found himself waking up on her side, her pillow wrapped in his arms in hope that he would miraculously turn in her.

Penelope was still gone.

111 days he had survived painfully without her, and yet every day the new blades of pain pierced him. 3 months, 3 weeks, 1 day, 13 hours, 55 minutes and 32 seconds, 33 seconds, 34 seconds, she'd been gone.
