Chapter 1. 4 Years Later.
Lauren feels his index finger trailing up and down her naked spine, her green eyes closes and she exhales loudly.
"Like that baby girl?" Derek hums, his skin gentle against hers. Lauren turns, her dark blond hair sprawling over her face. He tucks the strands behind her ear.
"It's alright" she teases "Could be better." Lauren winks giggling, but Derek pulls her in for a long kiss, his hands trailing down her body. He sighs, tilting his head back, his fingers are now circling the scars over her body.
"Are you ever going to tell me how you got these?" Derek questions glumly.
"Nope" Lauren pops the 'p', trying to hide the emotion in her voice.
"I hope whoever did-."
"Sh" Lauren demands by kissing him on the lips and she then forces herself to roll out of bed.
"Hay-hay come back baby" Derek begs, Lauren's naked body begins to pull on the clothes that are dotted all over the bedroom floor.
"I would love too, but I don't think Hotch would appreciate it" she winks again, licking her reddened lips.
"I'll definitely appreciate it" Derek playfully turns on his side, leaning on his elbow. Lauren grabs Derek's jeans that are on the floor and hurtles them toward his face. He catches them in time before the material hits him.
"Come on baby, let's go" Lauren murmurs walking into the bathroom.
"Damn okay!"
She hears him huff and she splashes her face with cold water, trying to wash any dirt left on her face. But as she towel dries herself, the shimmer in her eyes she had just moments before vanishes as she stares at her reflection. Lauren tries to looks past her lies and her stomach floods with guilt, the man she is falling in love with doesn't even know the real her. No one knows the real me.
"Baby girl, let's grab breakfast before we go." Derek decides, walking in and grabbing the toothbrush from its holder.
Lauren shakes her head slightly, snapping out of her day dream.
"Sounds good to me" Lauren smiles, pecking him on the cheek.
