Derek watched the women come back into the cabin, giggling and grinning as they talked lowly between themselves. Their bodies were still damp from the lake, and he could make out the fact that none of them had chosen to put their bras back on after their little romp, which made him all the more eager to have alone time with his Penelope. That, though, would have to wait as he thought about the game that the men usually played. His Baby Girl had made mention of the fact that she had felt left out last time that they had gone hunting Reid in the woods, and he knew just the way to make her and JJ feel a little more included. Though he would have to ask Erin to sit out this particular little jaunt, since she knew Blake all too well, and would be able to hunt her down in a heartbeat, which wasn't fair to the others.

"Did you have fun skinny dipping?" he asked as he slung an arm around Erin's waist and pulled her tight to his chest.

"It is always stimulating to be in the water and feeling it lap against your bare skin. I'm certain that you were able to enjoy that pleasure last night, though. Or did I not catch you boys in there while I was talking to Lexie?"

It was odd to hear Blake addressed so informally, and he glanced over at the woman to see if she would protest. From the tender expression on her face, Derek knew that she didn't mind the nickname, and that was when he knew that the rumors about them from before had been true. Clearing his throat a little, Derek nodded. "We were in there, well, except for Hotch, who was enjoying some time with Penelope and Jayje. But that's what happens on these weekends. Speaking of which…"

He looked over at Penelope and gave her a wicked smile. She instantly picked up on the fact that he had something up his sleeve, and the grin that spread across her lips told him that she was completely up for anything that he had planned. That didn't surprise him, since she had always managed to keep up with his more outrageous stunts. "I think that Derek has something wicked in mind, everyone. Am I right?"

Derek nodded before pressing a quick kiss to the top of Erin's head. "I think that we should play hunt the newbie after lunch. After all, what better way to truly introduce her to the games than to throw her into the most adrenaline filled game that we play?"

Blake's eyes widened a little as she looked between them all and then she licked her lips a little before tilting her chin upwards. "Spencer told me a little about this game on the way up to the cabin. Will I be allowed clothing, or will I have to run through the woods naked?"

Rossi chuckled as he shrugged. "I suppose that we could allow you to wear clothes and shoes in the woods for this little hunt, since it will be your first time and all. But Derek's right, we do need to eat first so that you have as much stamina as possible to make the hunt last longer. I'd hate for it to be over in five minutes, after all."

"And what happens when I'm caught?"

Derek beckoned them all into the kitchen with a pull of his head, and they trooped in there, Rossi and Erin starting to make a meal for them from the food in the refrigerator. "Well, the person who catches you gets to do whatever they'd like to you. It can be most pleasurable, as I'm certain that Reid has told you all about." Blake nodded a little, and he gave her a small wink. "Oh, and there is one rule to this particular hunt. Since it is clear that Erin knows you better than any of us, she has to stay behind in the cabin. Otherwise, it would be a surefire win for her, and we can't have that."

Erin let out a rich laugh as she turned to look at him, and he felt a deep blush stain his face at the thoroughly carnal way that she raked her eyes up and down his body. "I love that you're so certain I would be able to track Lexie through these woods, Derek. After what Curtis did to me, I highly doubt I would have the stamina to keep up with you all in the woods, but I will enjoy having a little time to myself where I can regroup and recharge. You've all been lovely to me, but I need to get a small nap in." He watched her glance over at Blake before turning her face back towards Derek. "Though I will miss out on the hunt. The next time we're all up here as a group, perhaps I can be the hart."

"I think that I would enjoy that, Erin," Rossi said before pinching her ass. "Though I think that I would have to set that quest out, too, since I think I could find you anywhere."

"And that sounds like a challenge that we'll have to take up next time."

"Ooh, I totally agree, Boo! I think that we need to have Blake and Rossi try to see who can catch Erin first, since that might be a great challenge."

Blake chuckled as she shrugged. "I'll have to see how much I enjoy this first hunt before I agree to another hunt."

"Fair enough," JJ replied as she began to pass out glasses of water. "Now, after we finish eating, you need to run upstairs, change into jeans, and pull your hair into a ponytail. After all, I'd hate for that lovely skin to get all bruised by trees and branches."

Blake nodded as they took a seat around the table and began to eat the meal that Rossi and Erin had prepared. As soon as it was over, Blake had darted upstairs before returning five minutes later, looking completely prepared for the hunt. "I see that you've chosen wisely," Derek said as she picked up an apple and began to toss it in the air as she looked at them. "All right, we'll give you a ten minute head start to find your perfect spot to hide in the woods. Reid likes to keep moving, so that is a tactic you could use."

"We'll have to see what I think is best," Blake replied as she took a bite out of the apple. "Happy hunting!" She gave them a small wave before heading out of the cabin.

"All right, since I'm staying behind, I get to make this a little more interesting. I'm going to wager that either Aaron or Spencer finds Alex first. Good luck trying to prove my initial feelings wrong."

"Oh, I wish that I was staying behind so that I could enter this little wager, Erin," Penelope said as she leaned over and kissed the woman softly. "Though I am going to put my money on Jayje, she's a great tracker. I'd love to say that I'll be the one to find Blake, but I don't think that I'm all that good in the woods, so it will be a crapshoot if I can keep up with the others or not."

"You'll be just fine, Penny. And if you do manage to catch Alex first, I'll give you a special boon. Okay?"

Penelope nodded eagerly as they all began to take care of their lunch dishes. Derek looked at his watch and saw that it had been about seven minutes. "All right, she has about three minutes left to hide. I think that you and Jen should change, like Blake did, Baby Girl. I want you all to have an equal chance at catching her, after all."

The women nodded and disappeared upstairs. "I'm going to head outside and wait for Kitten and Jen," Rossi said as he stretched before kissing Erin deeply. "Enjoy your nap, and I might just come join you once this is over. We need to save our energy for what might happen next this weekend."

"I will make certain that I actually wear something to bed, then, darling," she replied before kissing him once more. "Good luck everyone, and just know that my Lexie has more tricks up her sleeve than what it might appear. I do believe that you will be out in those woods far longer than what you believe." Erin patted them all on the shoulders before making her way upstairs, too, and Derek couldn't help but watch her hips sway as she left the kitchen.

"There is a reason that we have spent a lot of time in bed, Derek," Rossi said as he opened the front door of the cabin and stepped out onto the porch. "Like I said, I need to get a lot of exercise in, so that I can keep up with her. Her near death experience seems to have unlocked something untamed in her, and I am reaping the benefits of that. I'm just glad that I have all of you here this weekend to help me wear her out." Derek just laughed as he joined the man on the porch, his mind starting to think about where Blake would choose to hide in the woods.
