The Bachelorette-Ch 10

A few minutes into the tour Reid says, "it's so beautiful out here", the leader said, "this is one of the most beautiful places around and we get tourists all year long". Hotch said, "I can see why this view is breathtaking", Derek said, "I bet this is your busiest time of year"?, he said, "yes with working up the grapes and getting the nectar sealed they stay busy".

After they rode a few more minutes they got down off their horses and headed inside the wineary, Reid was taking in everything and he was so excited, he was asking question after question. Penelope wrapped her arms around him and said, "I love your sense of wisdom Spencer", he smiled and said, "th thank you", Derek felt himself feeling something that he hadn't felt in a long time and it was jealousy, he was actually jealous of Spencer.

As they toured through the winery they were offered several samples and half way through they were offered cheese, crackers and fruit to take the edge off of all of the wine they were drinking. Penelope giggled and said, "I love this place", she then leaned in and pressed her lips against Spencers, he quickly wrapped his arms around her and kissed her back with more intensity.

Hotch said, "alright you two I think we need to stop the samples for a while", Derek said, "I agree with Aaron", Penelope said, "you two are party poopers", Reid laughed and said, "ignore them Penelope" as he looped arms with her and led her up the hall. Derek said, "we better keep up or we might find them making out in a closet somewhere" as they ran to keep up with the slighty drunk couple.

It didn't take long before buzz had worn off and they were back to the tour, Reid said, "this place is huge", Derek said, "huge but beautiful", Penelope and Aaron nodded their heads in agreement. The tour leader said, "if you will follow me we will head down to see where they bottle the wine to put in storage", Reid and Aaron followed closely with Derek and Penelope bringing up the rear.

The tour lasted about 90 more minutes and then they climbed back on their horses and continued with their tour, Derek rode right behind Penelope with a huge smile on his face as he watched her bouncing up and down on her saddle. The afternoon was amazing and before they headed off for their dinner Penelope asked if they could get down and walk around and look at the scenery".

Aaron held out his arm and said, "mam", she looped her arm through his and said, "sir" and they laughed as they headed off leaving Derek and Reid talking to the tour guide. Aaron said, "are you having fun"?, she said, "today has been amazing", he stopped and cupped her face and leaned in and gently pressed his lips against hers.

She returned the kiss and wrapped her arms around his waist, when he pulled away he said, "you are an amazing woman", she wiped the lipstick off of his lips and said, "you aren't so bad yourself". He sighed and said, "as much as I want to stay here just you and me we better get back", she nodded her head in agreement as they headed back to join the others.

Derek smiled and said, "we were getting worried about the two of you", Aaron said, "don't worry she was in good hands", she blushed and said, "definitely so", Derek said, "we better start back or we'll get behind schedule". Everybody climbed onto their horses and laughed as they stated trotting back down the trail, Penelopes lips were still tingling from Aarons kiss.

She sighed knowing that she was feeling attracted to all of them, well all but Kevin, he seemed to whiney and babified but they still had a while to go and she hoped that she would be able to hold it together long enough to keep from losing her heart to one of the amazing bachelors. When they got back to the stable they got off their horses and Reid said, "view from here is amazing, this is the perfect spot for dinner" as they all walked over toward the table.

Derek held out her chair and said, "allow me princess", she sat down and said, "thank you sugar shack", he laughed as he walked over and sat down beside Reid, it wasn't long before Aaron said, "while we're waiting on the food how about a dance"?, she said, "that sounds nice". He stood up and held out his hand and led her away from the table and pulled her into his arms

Reid and Derek watched as he slid his hand down to the swell of her butt and stopped, Derek watched as Aaron gently squeezed her bottom and whispered something into her ear. He picked up his beer and downed half of it and Reid said, "they look good together dancing don't they"?, he glanced up and said, "yeah they do" and he thought "she could do better and would with me" before downing the rest of his beer.
