The Honey Moon Suite and Exploring:

JJ turned away from Derek to try to avoid his gaze. She felt her heart pounding and her blood was rushing through her ears, to say that his look aroused and terrified her would be an understatement of what she was feeling. She focused back on the room and tried to ignore the feeling that Morgan was coming closer to her. The room was huge, extravagant really. They were in the sitting room that had flowers all over, red, white, and pink roses all over the floor. The drapes were white, and their chocolates on each of the side tables. There were stairs of 4 or 5 steps that probably led to the bedrooms on opposing sides. The air smelled sweet, arousing and relaxing. The glass doors in front of them led to a huge balcony and the view of the beach made this outlook exotic. The room screamed isolation, romanticism and to make it worst, JJ was rooming with a man that was known to be the epitome of passion and seduction. Oh yes, she was in trouble. JJ jumped when Morgan came up behind her and whispered, "JJ, which room do you want?" She tried to fight the groan that was rising in her throat from feeling his lips brush against her ear. She closed her eyes tight, she needed to resist him, she couldn't give in too easily, but she knew, oh yes she knew, that she would give in eventually; Derek will win in the end.

"Uh, I think I'll take the room on the left." JJ moved away from Derek and started toward the room, trying to get away from him as quickly as possible. She needed space because she was in dangerous territory right now. She climbed the stairs to her room and groaned at the roses that adorned her bed. This was a little ridiculous, now she knew Fate must be bored, because there is no way Derek Morgan and her should come to the same place, end up in the same room and ultimately end up sharing the most romantic room in the hotel and to make things worst, Derek looks like he's decided he's going to make her his next conquest. She walked into the bathroom and immediately fell in love with the large bathtub that could fit two people. JJ could already imagine the bath that she wanted to take to try to relieve the stress she was feeling but she didn't think she had the time to do it right now. She listened as Derek put down her bags in her room and closed her eyes as she heard him approach the bathroom. She did not want him in here; she did not want him to invade this last place of solitude. As if he read her thoughts, Derek paused and walked away from the bathroom allowing JJ to release the breath she was holding.

Derek sighed as he watched JJ walk away from him but he knew that he had 2 weeks to get this done. Derek wanted JJ to see that he wasn't just a playboy, but someone she could trust, someone she could risk giving her heart to. Derek sighed again before he grabbed JJ's stuff and carried them into her room. He could tell that JJ had already moved on to look in the bathroom because the door was slightly open and he could see her shadow. He thought about going to see what it looked like and made a move for the bathroom, but he stopped sensing that she needed to have a space that was completely her own, for now anyway. Morgan turned and left her room so he could put his stuff in his room. He hoped that he could get this right, because if he pushed her too far, he could lose more than a chance to be with her.

Morgan grabbed his bags before heading into his room. He liked it, it was nice enough, the huge windows gave him a nice view of the ocean and the cool breeze he felt calmed him immensely. He walked into his own bathroom and nodded his head, this was definitely better than the room he had before. Derek went back into his room and kicked off his shoes before reaching into his bag and finding a pair of khaki shorts and a white t-shirt. He pulled off the button down, taking a moment to look at himself in the mirror. The slump in his shoulders and the tired expression bothered him, but he knew that came with the territory of the job. He the unbuckled his pants took them off before pulling on the shorts. He pulled out his sandals and slipped those on before heading back out into the living room with his t-shirt in hand.

"Hey, JJ? I'm heading out to look around a bit, you want to come with?" Derek asked, praying he covered the hope in his voice that she will come along. Derek waited for a response when JJ walked back into the living room. She paused as she took in the state of his undress and had to gather herself before she responded.

"Uh, sure, why not. Just give me a moment to change." JJ moved as quickly as she could into her room, making sure to close the door behind her. She leaned on the door and took a breath before heading to her bag to grab something to wear. It was amazing the effect that seeing Derek's body had on her. To be honest, she did not really need to see Derek half-naked to have his looks bother her. She grabbed a white sundress from her bag and a pair of sandals and undressed. She quickly pulled the dress over her head and strapped up the sandals, before pulling out her hair and resting a pair of sunglasses on her head. She checked herself in the mirror hoping that she looked good because she wanted to have the same effect on Derek that he had on her. If they were going to play this game then JJ had to put forth the effort to make this as hard on Derek as he made it on her. She nodded when she was done with her perusal and headed out to meet Derek. She was slightly disappointed that she found him with his shirt on but she figured it was for the better if she was to even he playing field. "I'm ready."

Derek paused in his reply as he took in JJ's appearance. The sunlight already seemed to do wonders for her and the dress, oh it fit her in all the right places. Her eyes had a sparkle to them that you would not see while they were on the job and this all just made Derek happy that they were here together. He nodded as grabbed his wallet and the keys to the room before heading to the door and holding it open for her. JJ nodded as she went out first and pushed for the elevator to come. She could feel Derek's heated gave and fought the blush that was rising valiantly. Derek was making her feel hot and she could not ignore the stirrings in her stomach. She needed this elevator to come now, or she was going to do something stupid. She sighed in relief when the doors open and found people in the elevator.

JJ and Morgan stepped on and started up a conversation with the couple already in the elevator and it was like everything was back to normal, no sexual tension, nothing and JJ was happy for the respite. She smiled at Morgan as he rested his hand on the small of her back to guide her out of the elevator and the woman from the other couple swooned. It was amazing to JJ how Derek could do a simple act and it would woman of the opposite sex falling all over themselves. JJ and Morgan headed out and immediately put on their glasses to try and protect themselves from the glare of the sun and JJ couldn't help but take in a deep breath of the air, finally feeling the tension from her job and everything else melt away.

"So where do you want to head first?" JJ shrugged in reply and Derek grinned as he grabbed her hand and started pulling her in a random direction.

"Derek! Where are we going?" JJ tried to pull her hand away but his grip remained on hers and she knew there was no escape. Not that she put up that big of a fight. She liked her hand in his and the more she thought about it, the more she thought that this trip could be a good opportunity to test the waters with Derek, see if anything comes of this attraction. Plus the stories she could tell Pen, Em, and Elle, oh yeah, this could definitely be a fun trip.
