Once Upon A Dream-Ch 14
Derek collapsed on the bed beside his lady love as they both gasped for air, she started giggling and said, "that was unlike anything I've ever felt before", he then rolled over onto his side and said, "I agree". He touched her cheek and said, "stay with me, stay with me forever", she said, "I want to, I truly want to but", he sighed and said, "but you can't".
Penelope said, "sadly no, I have to go home, when my mother and father get home if I haven't made a decision on my suitor he will make it for me", Derek leaned down and kissed the side of her neck and said, "I want to be your suitor, I want to be yours forever". She turned her head to the side and said, "I want that to but if I dare disagree or refuse to do what my father wants he will disown me and send me away where I will never be able to see you again".
Derek said, "I would die without you Penelope, you are the air I breathe, you are what keeps me going, it's you and only you", she took a deep breath and said, "I feel the same way, I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you". Derek said, "but your father would never approve of me"?, he watched as tears then streamed down her cheeks and as he wiped away the tears he said, "I will love you forever".
Penelope said, "I know that if my father could meet you and see how happy you make me that he would", Derek put his finger over her lips and said, "I love you with all of my heart, you know that don't you"?, she nodded her head and he said, "what if there were a way for us to be together forever, would you want to be with me forever"?, he removed his finger from her lips and she said, "yes, yes my love".
Derek said, "I know that Kevin and Sam will be here tomorrow but when will you be able to slip away so that I can see you again"?, she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "I will have to meet with them both tomorrow but the day after that I will have Aaron help me sneak away". Derek said, "that will give me enough time to get things set up".
She looked at him and said, "what's going through your mind, what are you thinking"?, he said, "I'm working on something that will guarantee that you will be mine forever". Penelope sighed and said, "I'll try anything as long as it means that you and I can be together", he grinned as he leaned in for another kiss, seconds later the room was one again filled with their moans of passion as they continued to show each other how they truly feel.
Aaron and Emily stopped by the creek and he said, "I feel sorry for Penelope", Emily said, "so do I", he said, "she loves one man and will be forced to marry another one, she will be devastated". Emily said, "do you think that her father would ever approve of Derek"?, he shook his head and said, "sadly no I don't but I know that if he would only give Derek a chance that he would see how much he loves Penelope".
Emily said, "I don't know what I would do if I couldn't be with you Aaron, you are the man I want to spend the rest of my life with, I want to grow old with you, I want to have children with you". He smiled and said, "I want that to Emily", he touched her face and said, "you are the woman I've loved since the day I met you and that will never change".
He then leaned in and pressed his lips against hers, she wrapped her arms around his waist as he pulled her closer and it didn't take long before they were totally lost in each other. Reid looked lovingly into JJs eyes and said, "I can't wait to marry you Jennifer, I can't wait to be able to hold you when I want, to kiss you when I want and to be able to love you and our family for the rest of our lives".
She wiped away a stray tear and said, "I want that to", he said, "time can't pass by fast enough for me", JJ said, "time will soon slip by and then we will be able to get married and spend the rest of our lives together". Reid leaned in and gently kissed her lips, he wrapped her lovingly in his arms and at that moment everything else just disappeared.
Derek laid there on the bed and watched as his Penelope climbed out of bed and started putting her clothes back on, he got up and walked over and said, "let me help you" as he zipped up her dress. She then turned around in his arms and kissed his lips and when they pulled apart she said, "I can't believe that it's time for me to go back already".
He sighed and said, "me either but before you know it we will be back together", she nodded her head yes and said, "I know but I will miss you tomorrow, I will miss you with everything that's inside me". He helped her on with shoes and then quickly got dressed and soon they were on their way back to the others, the entire ride back to her friends she sat holding Dereks hand, she didn't want to be away from him but she didn't have a choice, not yet.
When they arrived at the creek everybody was patiently waiting, Derek jumped down from the buggy and helped her down and said, "goodnight my love, I will see you very soon". She took a deep breath and said, "goodnight Derek and until we see each other again my heart will feel empty". He then leaned in and kissed her lips gently at first but then when she wrapped her arms around his waist he deepened the kiss, thus earning a moan against his lips.
When they pulled apart Aaron said, "we need to head back Penelope", she nodded her head and said, "you're right, we don't want to be out after dark or the other guards will come looking for us". Derek looked at the others and said, "thank you for today", Aaron smiled and said, "you are very welcome and don't worry I will sneak her away as soon as I can".
Derek grinned as he watched the others climb into the buggy and as they pulled away his heart broke because he knew that until he could see her again that time would drag on for an eternity. He climbed back into his buggy and grinned as he headed back toward his place, he took a deep breath and said, "you've got a lot of things to do before you see Penelope again and then nobody not even her father will be able to keep us apart again".
