It had been a couple days since Morgan had left in her room panting for his kisses along with an ultimatum and she was no clearer to which way she should go since it happened. They days were alright but the tension was there even though Derek did his best to make it seem that while she was figuring it out, it did not mean that they still could not have fun. It was a valiant effort on his part and it was one that she greatly appreciated. Derek was a good man; a solid man and she knew that he was a great catch. Any woman would be lucky to have him as her own, which leads to her problem. Why couldn't she decide whether or not she wanted to be with him? It was pretty simple; either she wanted to be with him or she didn't. It really wasn't that hard. Which lead her now to another sleepless night, haunted by the dreams of Morgan. Haunted? Ha! More like turned on!

JJ groaned as she flopped over again, she couldn't sleep again and she was getting frustrated. Her body still felt hot from Morgan's kisses and damn if her mind wasn't replaying each second painfully slow in her mind's eye. It was driving her mad knowing that he evoked such desire with a couple of kisses. It was even more maddening that he was asleep in his room all cool and control and she was a hot mess. She hated him right now, he knew that he had gained the advantage in this psychic warfare and she was at a loss at what she should do. She almost wished she had her gun because shooting Derek Morgan seemed so appealing right now. God the man was infuriating! Stupid man decides he wants to do the whole monogamous thing and even worst he wants to do that with her. It's not like she's the one that has been doing the club hopping, a different girl every night thing, and yet he's made it seem like it's all on her to give them a chance. Naturally she would be guarded; the man hasn't had a relationship that lasted longer than 3 weeks. JJ huffed as she flopped to the other side. She was going to snuff him with a pillow! There was really only one man that could have her so restless and now he decides to take advantage of that ability. She groaned, it was either she found a way to go to sleep and pretend that night didn't happen or she get up from her bed and put Morgan in his place then pretend that night still did not happen.

She closed her eyes tight hoping that she could just fall asleep any second. She frowned as she began to chastise herself. This was ridiculous! Here I am a grown woman and one man's kiss got me frazzled. Never mind the fact that he is literally sex on legs, that has nothing to do with it. I am a strong, confident and attractive woman. I don't have to deal with this. Derek Morgan will not have me hitting my midlife crisis over this. Stupid good-looking man! God, why haven't I fallen asleep yet? I'm tired, okay maybe I'm a little wired but that does not mean that I don't want to be asleep. Oh my god my life sucks right now, though I know Pen would be extremely jealous to know that I am locked up alone with Derek Morgan, even better she would have a fit if she knew that we kissed, not once, but twice! Oh my god why am I smiling like an idiot, Jesus, I am like a schoolgirl giddy that her crush took notice of her. I swear if I say the lords name one more time, I am going to hell. Well as long as Derek comes with me. Wait, what? Where did that come from? As long as Derek comes with me? Heehee, that sounds dirty! Hahaha Derek comes with me. Oh my gosh, I've turned into a pervert. Where has my mind gone? Hmmm, I feel sleepy, yes!

JJ groaned as she woke again feeling hot and bothered, her dreams filled with her and Morgan kissing; her imagination running away with possibilities. The kisses in her dreams were so hot, powerful, bruising and overwhelming. The fact that she and Morgan didn't jump into the sack from the kisses they shared earlier that week was commendable. She wanted him so badly and trying to sleep the rest of this night hell this vacation was getting harder every time she woke up thinking about him just there in the other room. She swore she could feel his lips ghosting over her skin, making her wonder if he was sneaking into her room trying to cop a feel. She knew, however, that he hadn't been back into her room since he left her nights ago and she couldn't decide if she was disappointed or happy to find that he had not found his way into her bed.

She needed to do something about this and soon. She rose from her bed and walked to the window overlooking the ocean below. She sighed as she watched the waves crashing against the shore and wished her mind could give her respite from the turmoil it was putting her through. One day, that was all it took for Morgan to unsettle her and put her in a difficult position. She knew that if she turned him down that he would never approach her again about a relationship again, but at the same time she wasn't sure that she was ready to take that plunge. It was too fast, but if she was honest, this was a long time coming. Her and Morgan have been toeing the line of professionalism for a while. She turned away from the brightening sky and wondered which way she should go. She felt honored that Morgan wanted to go steady with her but at the same time, what if she was not what he wanted; Morgan was an attractive man and women were always falling at his feet, what if he found someone better? Could she handle it? Would they work life survive it? There was more to all of this then just what they were feeling right now.

She groaned as her mind flashed images of Hotch and Elle, Em and Spence, Pen and Kevin, all of them successfully together and maintaining a professional atmosphere. It was plain as day that she was trying to give herself an excuse not to risk her heart but her mind apparently did not agree with her reasoning. She wanted him and the more she danced around this, the more likely she was to lose him for good. She looked at the waves below for a couple more minutes before making up her mind. She was done sleeping, she needed to see him, she needed to get what she was feeling off her chest right now.

She walked from her room and crossed over to his pausing outside his door for a second before reminding herself that she needed to do this. She pushed his door and walked into his room, closing the door behind her before she lost her nerve. She walked closer to his bed, her eyes trained on his sleeping form. She paused as he turned over, wondering for a second if he had awoken while she was entering his room. She moved once again when she noticed his deep breathing had not changed; he was still asleep. She questioned herself for a second wondering about what she was going to actually do. She hadn't thought past coming into his room. She sighed for a second before taking a seat on the bed next to him. It was killing her to be so close to him on a bed and not reaching to touch him. Being this close to him just made things that much more clear to her. She wanted him completely and she did not want to let this opportunity slip away.

She reached out for a second and paused above his face, taking another deep breath, before starting to caress his face. "Derek, wake up please, we need to talk." She continued to whisper afraid that if she spoke to loudly that all of this would come crashing down. She sighed as he leaned into her touch and started to wake.

She watched as his eyes fluttered open and held her breath as she waited for him to speak. "JJ? What's up babe? Are you alright?" She could only nod in reply to his question afraid that if she spoke she would say the wrong thing. She wanted more between her and Morgan but she wasn't sure how to say it. She had come in here with every intention of talking to him, explaining to him how much all of this scared her; terrified her, but the words wouldn't come. Derek's face was filled with concern and confusion and he was about to ask again if she was okay prompting JJ to lean forward and cover his lips with hers. She didn't want him to speak because she was afraid that more words would only make her go back behind that wall of professionalism she worked so hard to take down.

She needed Morgan and she needed him now more than ever. She sighed in relief when he kissed her back; she was not sure how she would have been able to handle it if he had rejected her. She allowed him to pull her body completely onto the bed with his and whimpered as he deepened the kiss. She groaned when he pulled back searching her eyes for a hint as to what was to happen now. She non-verbally told him that she wanted him but that wasn't concrete, how was Morgan to know that this wasn't a one time thing, how was he to know that she would be there in the morning? He did not want to start this unless it ended with JJ waking up in his arms for the rest of their lives. He was about to say so when JJ rested her finger against his lips. "Derek, please, I know the questions you want to ask and even better I know the answers to them, but tonight I want this to be just us, just right now, no words, please I need you, please." Derek gave pause to the longing burning in her eyes and he knew he was a goner. He had no more will to make them wait; he needed her as much if not more than she needed him.

He sighed before leaning in and kissing her once more. JJ moaned in pleasure as she felt his tongue massaging her own. It was like sweet torture; one she was sure she could no longer live without. She ran her hands up his muscled back and was silently pleased at the way his muscles jumped under her touch. It was gratifying and little comforting to know that she was not the only one overwhelmed by the rush of emotions between the two of them. She whimpered at the loss of his lips as he pulled back to stare into her eyes. He leaned in again to kiss her lips, cheeks, eyes, nose, everywhere on her face before taking the edge of her ear between his lips. "So beautiful." He whispered in her ear before nipping it again. She gasped as Derek's tongue found a sensitive spot behind her ear; licking it once, twice, making her squirm in desire. There was no doubt in her mind that Derek is an attentive lover and the way his lips ghosted over her skin now made her feel it was all she needed to go over the edge.

Derek brought his kisses down to her neck, licking and biting as he made his way down her body. It felt so good to finally have her. It blew his mind that all it took was a couple days away from the everyday reminders of work and restrictions for them to be here right now. If Derek had known this is all it would take for them to finally be together, Derek would've thrown JJ over his shoulder and run off with her a long time ago. He just hoped that the next week and a half could be about solidifying what they've found. He prayed to God that this did not tear them apart because Derek did not think he could survive knowing what JJ tasted, sound, and felt like then go back to living a life without her in it. He rose up to pull off both their clothing leaving them naked against each other. She was so heart-achingly beautiful that it blew his mind what they were about to do. He kissed his way to her chest allowing his tongue to get acquainted with all her dips and curves; memorizing her body to his mind so when he closed his eyes he could picture her and all her perfections. He kissed past her stomach and legs, taking time to lay slow kisses to the scars she had gotten from both the job and soccer.

JJ felt the pricks of tears when she took in what Derek was doing. It was more than what any of her previous lovers had done and JJ started to realize that all of her breakups and heartaches were meant to drive her into the arms of this amazing man. For years they danced around this and now it was time for them to give in. She brought Derek's lips back up to meet hers before saying, "Derek please, no more foreplay, please, I promise more later."

Derek couldn't help to ask, "When later? Like an hour later? Two? Three might be pushing it?" JJ laughed as Derek wiggled his brows in conjunction with his questioning.

"You sure you could get it up that quickly?" She asked him with a bit of sass to her voice.

"Excuse me, are we questioning my prowess? I'll have you know I am a man in the prime of his life so you, angel, won't have to worry about a thing. I got more than enough loving for you." He said with great confidence and bravado.

JJ burst out laughing at Derek; loving how easy it was for them to fall into such comfortable banter. Here they were about to have sex, no make love and her and Derek were arguing about whether or not Derek needed help from Hugh Hefner's friend Viagra. She loved him… wait what? JJ's smile fell and focused back on what was happening between them. Were they ready for this, for them?

"Hey JJ, hey baby girl, it's okay, it's just us, right now, just focus on us." Derek's words quieted her thoughts and she smiled at him in acquiescence. "You ready?" She could only nod again as she widened her legs, allowing Derek entry to her sanctuary. He searched her eyes again before moving to guide his length inside of her. He watched her eyes as he slowly pushed deeper inside of her, causing JJ's body to arch up in pleasure. She felt full and complete in a way she has not felt before. When Derek was fully in he rested his hips against hers, his body coming into contact with her pleasure spot. JJ moaned his name loudly as her body adjusted to his size. "You okay?" He whispered as he kissed away the tears from her face.

She smiled at him brightly before responding, "Perfect, I'm perfect." Derek grinned before deciding to move. She felt amazing and Derek knew that he could never sleep with another woman again and have her compare to how he felt right now. Derek was in bliss and listening to her sigh and moan his name as he set a slow and loving pace was all he needed to bring him closer to the edge. JJ was in heaven; his pace was not demanding but rather loving and it brought more tears to her eyes the way that they moved and fit together. It was perfect. They could have been making love for hours days, neither could tell, all they knew is that when they had reached that release it was more than they could have expected, it was them coming home and to separate would mean to break away from the peace they had just found. So JJ found herself finally able to sleep still connected to and wrapped up in the arms of her lover.
