JJ could feel glancing looks here and there but they did not really register, all she could focus on was Morgan and how hard he was making this meal. It was not that he was making it awkward or weird but rather the meal was filled with a sexual tension that she was sure that the whole restaurant could feel. It was amazing truly that she was able to keep the blush out her face when ever he made a comment of gesture about all the things he intended to do to her. It was a wonder that any woman could ever resist such a man. She was sure he could reignite the passion in a corpse. It wasn't right. JJ was brought out of her thoughts when Morgan's voice called to her. "JJ you here with me sexy?" JJ nodded unable to hide the blush she felt this time from him calling her sexy. She was used to him calling her "beautiful", even "baby" but "sexy"? "Sexy" was new; she kind of liked it. Morgan grinned at her before continuing, "You know babe, you were right, I was the envy of all the men in this place as soon as they saw you on my arm, but even so JJ I did not liked the way they were looking at you and I am going to have to punish you for disobeying me."
As degrading and cave-mannish as Morgan's comment was JJ could not find it in herself to be angry. She truly wanted him to carry out his threat, hell she was willing to forgo food and get to the punishing part of the night, but she reigned herself in again. She was playing with fire but she had to stick to her wits. Morgan was enticing her in ways she's never been tempted in before but she will be strong, no matter what, she could not let him think he could have her with some just well placed words. She smiled in response to his comment before replying, "Punish me Morgan? But you requested me to dress this way. Plus I don't care that other men might be looking at me in a certain way, as long as I don't have your gaze straying from me then I consider this outfit a success, one I might return to later on down the line."
Morgan growled in response. The little minx was playing this game well and if Morgan was honest with himself, he would admit that he liked the chase that JJ was giving him. Too many times women were willing to throw themselves at him, this was the first time his words didn't have the woman ready to jump his bones and it made this situation all that more interesting. He loved the challenge that JJ was presenting and he allowed himself to think about their relationship being like this all the time. The push and pull on their attraction for each other; neither of them willing to give an inch but more than willing to take from the other. This night was shaping up better than he originally planned and though he was originally disappointed that JJ went ahead and wore the dress, Morgan could not be happier now that she had defied him. She played this game well, better than he believed and he was having fun getting to know this new side of JJ.
He swallowed some wine before replying to JJ, "Trust me JJ you have nothing to concern yourself with. I am more than preoccupied with you. I think you should be more concerned with whether or not I can take my eyes off of you." JJ rolled her eyes in response to his line and she wondered if that was the best he could do. "However, I don't let my threats stay idle or else I would not be considered a man that keeps his word. As delightful as you look tonight, you did go against my order and that does indeed call for a punishment, so I will not be accompanying you for the rest of the night." He smirked at her when her eyes shot to his in surprise and confusion.
"What is that supposed to mean?" She asked, slightly put off by the idea that Morgan was cutting their evening short.
"It means that you're going to have to find another man to entertain you for the night while I find someone much more willing to follow my lead." Now Morgan did not want JJ talking to any man, better yet he didn't JJ to even know that there were other male species other than him, but JJ did her part, he chased, now it was time to return the favor. It was up to her if this game was to continue. He gestured to the waiter and without a word the man brought his check.
"No desert for you or the lady, sir?" Morgan shook his head ignoring the glare that JJ was sending his way. She was pissed that he would do this, but at the same time she had to give him his due. He could have given in but that would have been too easy. He turned the tables again and once again she had to do the work to even the playing field. Son of bitch, scratch that Morgan's mother was angel. She watched as the asshole paid for the meal and rose from the table. He barely acknowledged the heated stares he was getting before but now it was as if his eyes opened up to the rest of the world and he now began to reciprocate the attention he was receiving from other woman in the restaurant. It was embarrassing for JJ because it made it look like she couldn't get a handle on her man. This will not stand and JJ was going to make Morgan pay for this.
Derek could see JJ's face from the corner of his eyes and questioned whether he pushed her too far but at the same time he couldn't turn back now. He made his bed and now he had to sleep in it. JJ started this, now she had to finish it. He leaned toward and whispered in her ear, "JJ, this is only the beginning, if you can't handle this then back away because when I play, I play to win. I told you JJ; you're messing with a predator and now it's time to start paying the consequences." He nibbled on her ear gently, listening to her gasp in surprise before moving back and leaving her at the table to ponder what she was going to do next.
JJ watched as he walked out of the restaurant, she couldn't rush after him, oh no that would only add to his edge. She had to be patient. She drank so more of her wine before she rose from the table and headed toward the exit, before she could leave though, a man blocked a way with a smirk on his face. She wasn't really interested but she could use his help in getting back at Morgan, plus he wasn't bad looking. "Excuse me miss, but I couldn't help but notice the fool that left you at the table and I decided to try my luck by asking if I could spend some time in your company?"
It wasn't the smoothest line that she has received in the past but it was good enough. "Of course, I was just heading to club, if you would like to come that is?" He nodded to her before sticking out his arm and leading her toward the club on the other side of the hotel. JJ did not notice Morgan's eyes watching her form walk by with rage burning in his eyes. Oh she retaliated quickly but this wasn't the first time that this has happened to Morgan and he was prepared for this. He waited for a bit before entering the same club. He knew that he had to do what he needed to do quick cause he would not tolerate another man in JJ's presence for longer than he needed to. He headed straight for the bar and got himself a drink, he knew that he was drawing attention but he had to wait for the right girl to come his way and as if fate heard him, a banging chick came Morgan's way and he knew that she was the one that would be perfect this. She had caramel skin, with amber eyes, her hair was long and curly and she had legs that seemed to go on forever. She was hot, no doubt about it, but in Morgan's mind she did not compete with JJ.
He smiled at her and bought her a couple of drinks before he allowed her to lead him to the dance floor. He could feel JJ's eyes watching, it was like a 6th sense, he did not need to look hard to see her up at one of the tables chatting with the man that Morgan saw her walking with earlier. He was tempted to go over and end this now but they both had to see this through. Morgan stood behind the girl he met as the beat of birthday sex started to play. They were close, her body grinding sensuously against his. It wasn't long before another woman started to dance with Morgan from the back and he knew that this was going further than he expected but he would not stop now. He glanced to see JJ's eyes watching him with interest before she took the hand of her current date and pulled him to the dance floor. He watched her and groaned silently as he watched her hips gyrate to the beat of the song and all of sudden Morgan was angry that this guy had the audacity to run his hands all over JJ's body; not JJ's body but the body of the woman he claimed as his own.
This could only end badly for the both of them as they continued to try and up one another as the songs continued, their dancing more sexual as if daring the other to say enough this has to stop but neither has been known for giving up and this could last all night. Morgan felt like he was at the end of his wits as more men took notice of JJ and pursued a chance to dance with her. She was a siren; her body perfectly timed with whatever song played and it was like watching sex. It should be him moving against her but he started this so… The girl he first started dancing with had gone and others had replaced it, each girl seeming bolder than the previous. He had to fight off some attempts to kiss him because it was not what he wanted; it was getting harder. Morgan not paying attention didn't have time to react when a woman grabbed his face and laid a hot kiss on his lips. He knew he was in for it now. He just got of the kiss to see JJ staring at him with not only rage but also hurt and Morgan knew he was in big trouble. He moved to go to her but she was too quick and was out of the club before he could get off of the dance floor.
Morgan rushed out of the club and followed after JJ, needing to make this right quickly. She was quick and Morgan didn't catch up to her until she was already locked away in her room. He could hear her sobs through her door and he nearly punched the wall in anger at himself for hurting her. He had to fix this. He knocked on the door and was not prepared for the "Fuck off Morgan!" That he got in return.
"JJ, please, I swear I did not want to kiss that girl, it was an accident. I already told you that I wanted you, I would not jeopardize by making out with some girl I don't even know. Please JJ forgive me. You know I wouldn't do something like that to you." He knew he was begging but he would not lose her over something like pride, he waited for this opportunity to be with her and he would get on his knees and grovel for her forgiveness if he had to.
He sighed in relief when he heard her door unlock and open slowly. He felt his heart lurch when he saw her face blotchy from tears and his heart broke knowing that he brought those tears to her face. He started again, "JJ I'm so sorry baby, I didn't mean for that to happen. I swear…"
JJ cut him off, "It's fine Morgan, it's not like you're mine or anything. We were just playing a stupid game and I guess I showed I really couldn't handle going up against the Casanova Derek Morgan." She tried to make a joke of situation but it only angered Morgan that she would say that. That once again his reputation was used as an excuse. Is that why she played? Because he was a playboy? No! JJ was not that shallow. He had to make this up to her but there was nothing more he could say about the situation to make it right. It happened but now he had to prove to her that he could settle down and JJ was the one that he wanted to do that with. He just had to convince her of that.
JJ looked up to see the same look of determination that Morgan wore earlier tonight and she knew that this was not over. "JJ I told you that I wanted you and that I would have you, game or not JJ, I intend on showing you the kind of man I am right now, more importantly the man that you're going to be with. I'm fighting for you JJ, I'm fighting for a chance that I know that if we were among our team members you laugh off or put to the aside. There is no one standing in our way right now and I won't let you use my old habits as an excuse for why we can't be together. I want you JJ and I have a strong feeling you want me too, but even if you don't it doesn't matter because I'll make you want me." Morgan could blame his next action on the alcohol he consumed earlier; Morgan rushed forward and kissed JJ that would leave her lips swollen and bruised. It was easily one of the hottest kisses either of them had experienced. It left JJ's mind blank and toes curled as she wrapped her arms around Derek's neck. He gripped her waist tightly as he continued to kiss her. He pulled away a bit after not wanting to get carried away too much.
He looked to see her eyes still close from the kiss. He placed another chaste kiss on her lips, fighting the urge to devour her mouth once again. He then pulled back from her and left her standing in her room. There was no need to say anything more. The stage had been set and it was as simple as that.
JJ came out of her daze still in shock that Morgan had kissed her, not just want but twice. She couldn't believe it, the man really knew how to play on a girls feelings. JJ wrapped her arms around her waist protectively as she fought the urge to go to Morgan's room and say let's forget all the foreplay and jump into the sack together. She closed her eyes and tried to calm her thoughts but her mind kept flashing back to the kiss. God it was hot. Her lips felt swollen and bruised and JJ enjoyed the feeling. She felt much better about what transpired earlier tonight and was even a little grateful for it, but she solemnly swore that if another woman would be so brazen as to kiss Morgan again then JJ might have to introduce her to JJ's gun. She smiled at the thought and climbed into her bed, trying to get her mind prepared for the next day of her vacation.
