Chapter three
Seat next to you
Last night still rolled around in her head. Hell even when she closed her eyes she could see the hungry look in Derek's, feel the sweet heated breath on her neck and his kisses, they alone were enough to make her weak kneed and swooning drool slipping down her chin. However she pushed that aside and finished packing her one suitcase and rolling it towards the living room. Making sure that everything was turned off that her answering machine was empty and cell phone charger was packed along with her lab top and camera. She wondered for the umpteenth time if she should've asked Derek to come along. To get away from the city for a little while just the two of them.
Even with the events from last night rolling around in her mind, she knew the next three days would be practically boring. For she wouldn't have eyes for any other man on the beach and her mind could conjure up so many fantasies were Derek Morgan was concerned. The only man she'd ever have eyes for ever again.
A small giggle emerged from her lips at that visualization but then her thoughts turned slightly stormy. What if last night was a fluke, a mere need to have physical contact with another human being after the hell they'd been put through. Yet, why her? Surely there were thousands of willing and waiting females out there wanting to land a hunky bad ass FBI agent. Why had he chosen her?
"Access and available nothing more," Penelope stated to her empty apartment.
With a shake of her head another quick look around, she grabbed her bags and proceed out the door to her short beach adventure.
Having thrown her travel case in the back seat, lab top and purse in the front Penelope slide into the driver seat just as her cell phone rang playing, "What a man" bringing a smile to her lips.
"Well good morning my hunk of sugary goodness. For what do I granter such an early call?"
Morgan chuckled, "Seein' if you got off all right."
"Oh honey," she tsked her grin widening. "I got off just fine last night with the steamy good memories you left me with. To bad you weren't there to see it."
He growled low in his throat, "Now that's a damn shame mama all you had to do is tell me and I would have loved to stick around even give ya a hand or two with your problem."
"Who said it was a problem sweet cheeks it was more of a lust full burning really. One that I'm sure you could stat so skillfully to bad we'll be miles apart for the next few days."
"Evil woman going off and leaving me behind I should spank you for doing such a naught thing. But just you wait I'll get you my beauty."
"And I'll be ready and waiting for you my chocolate lollipop, but you have to find me first."
"And if I do? What do I win then?" Derek asked anticipating her answer.
"Why gorgeous don't you know," she answered pausing for a second waiting and when he grunted his no she finished. "Me naked on the sand with no one around and just the water and stars to watch us."
The vision that formed in his head almost had him slamming on the brakes and veering off the road, his jeans growing tight, feeling like he had lead in his pants with how hard she'd made him in just mere seconds with her sultry voice and naughty words.
"Now Red delicious don't promise something you can't keep." And God how he wished she would keep that promise.
"Who said it was a promise my handsome devil?"
He groaned this time a deep low sound that raised the hairs on the back of her neck, goose flesh prickling her skin and wet heat pooling between her thighs. 'Damn him,' she thought making her want to turn the wheel and head back home.
"Where are you?" he stated firmly a sexually tense edge to his voice.
He wanted her in the seat next to him where he could touch her when he felt like. Feel the warmth of her soft porcelain skin under his rough callused palm. To watch her eyes sparkle and dance as the sun played with her red locks making them shimmer and glow. He wanted her flat out no questions asked and nothing standing in his way.
"Na uh my super smart and sexy profiler that is something you'll have to figure out. Can't be giving out all my secrets now can I."
"Penelope," he drug out her name to the point he was almost playfully whining.
"Nope, no can do Scooby Doo, you'll have to figure this one out all by yourself."
"And when I find you my beautiful temptress you will be so sorry that you gave me that wonderfully naughty vision in my head."
"Oh hot stuff I'm never sorry for anything let alone for vision's I put in your head. Especially when that is all you'll be getting till I come home. A shame really."
"And why's that?"
"Cause you'll never get to see that phenomenon in real living color only in your dreams."
Chuckling he said, "You think so Goddess? Considering I dream in color and I can always find you sweetness. That's a promise I'm willing to keep."
"And if you do find me Mon Cheri you will be greatly rewarded," she purred thinking he'd never be able to locate her.
"Can't wait baby girl to have you all to myself for three days the trouble we can get into. The places I can take you over and over till you scream. Humm another vision to add to the growing collection but the real question Penelope is… can you handle the heat?"
"Just a little sun tan lotion and I'm good to go. Of course let me get my bib so can catch every last drop of chocolaty goodness. Heaven knows I wouldn't want to waste any delectable morsel. So the real question my satisfyingly sweet bonbon will you have enough fire power and stamina to keep the blaze going?"
Damn she knew she was playing with fire. Her body all ready over heating itself to the point she turned up the air conditioner wishing she'd put the top down before leaving. Yet she couldn't help herself. She loved bating him. Seeing what he would say next to her flirty off the wall comments and this time he was giving as good as he was getting.
"For you my seductive minks I'll go all night long without burning out. Just make sure you stroke the flames and keep enough fuel on stand by."
She could feel the blush start to heat her cheeks but that didn't stop her. "Don't forget the whip cream, caramel and cherry's mama needs all her food groups."
"And the chocolate?" Oh lord he needed to quit but found it hard to resist even as room in his jeans became a lost commodity.
"There will be more then enough chocolate to stat my sweet tooth. In fact an over flow that will keep this kitten purring happily for a long time."
"All well and good sweetness but papa's going to need a little sustenance too. Maybe my own can of chocolate whip cream, strawberries and honey spread out all over that curvy sexy body of yours. Humm I can just see it all in my mind. Tastes good to," he tossed back wondering what thoughts were going on in her mind. Wondering if she was just as affected as he was.
Her heart rate doubled at his comment yet felt lighter than she had in a long time. Maybe he wasn't playing after all, but better safe than sorry. "Now, now my beautiful behavioral analyst don't get too carried away. You'll be dreaming way too much."
Derek grunted into the phone sensing a change. "Who said anything about dreaming beautiful? I intend to full fill every last one of my promises and then some."
"Really and how do you plan on doing that?"
"I have my ways baby girl just you wait. Now I have to hang up. Got some shopping to take care of before I come hunt you down."
She shook her head even though he couldn't see it. "You have fun my sexy Adonis and I'll see you in a few…"
"Na uh, love not in a few days in mire hours get that through your hard head woman. Like I told you last night I'm done teasin' and flirtin'. Its time I take matters into my own hands."
"And what strong capable hands you have love bug I bet they'd feel just heavenly on my naked body. But really…"
He groaned loudly adding frustration and a touch of lust to the deep sound. "No buts Penelope," he stated firmly trying to convey his true meaning without having to spell it out for her. "I think it's time you and I tear that damn line to shreds. I'm tired of waiting."
For once in her life Penelope Garcia was shocked speechless as if she'd swallowed her tongue. Finally finding the lost organ so that she could utter a few choice words, "Are you sure?" nothing glamorous or witty about the question just simple and strait forward.
"So damn sure beautiful that it took all my control to keep me from braking down your door last night and claiming what is and always will be mine."
She giggled, as a shiver of pure pleasure washed over her. "All you had to do was ask hot stuff I'd have gladly given you my body at anytime and place."
"You don't get it do you Penelope?"
Confusion clouded her mind, "What's that lamb chop?" surely he couldn't mean…
"You'll find out soon enough Goddess. For now I bid you a good morning and I'll see ya soon."
"Party pooper," she pouted a touch nervous about what his words could really mean. "And I wish the same to you, lover."
"Not yet, but soon," came his cryptic response before he hung up leaving Penelope intrigued and worried.

Pulling to a stop in one of two parking spots Penelope took in her surroundings the welcoming sand, the warm ocean waves and her modest pale blue cottage heaven on earth with only one thing missing.
"Not this time Garcie," she stated on a sigh slipping from her car.
"You must be Penelope Garcia," a woman's voice said from behind her.
And when she turned a five foot five gray haired yet nicely tanned older woman entered her field of vision, dressed in what appeared to be a flower print t-shirt and jean shorts an apron over the top, well worn brown sandals covering her feet and with her short stylishly cut gray hair blowing in the heated summer wind.
"Yes ma'am," Penelope answered stepping forward her hand out stretched in greeting. "Mrs. Mack it's good to put a face to such a sweet motherly voice."
"Oh sugar no need to flatter me but thank you and please call me Helen, Mrs. is just too formal."
Penelope laughed, "Of course and please the same for me."
"Surely your names not Helen to," the older woman said cracking a smile and a melodious laugh.
"No Penelope," and she paused seeing Helen begin to laugh.
"I know dear, now let's get you settled shall we," Helen stated kindly taking lead. "Oh and just so your aware Penelope, we had someone reserve the cottage next door about the same time as you."
"Really?"
"Yes and he sounded like a very sweet young man to. If only I was a few years younger and Matt wasn't," she trailed off with a wiggle of her eye brow towards Penelope.
She knew she shouldn't ask, but the imp in her wanted to know, "Will he have someone with him?"
"Come to think of it he didn't say. Only that he planned on finding the one, who ever that is. I digress let me show you, your cottage sweetie. Has all the amenities of an apartment, stove, refrigerator full running water of course and TV. Though if I were you dear I'd be out in this gorgeous summer weather laying on the beach soaking it up and finding you a little summer lovin'," again she winked at Penelope while opening the door.
Penelope laughed finding her new temporary landlord very sweet and spunky. "I don't tan sugar I burn and as for finding some summer lovin'," Penelope just shook her head, "not nearly enough time for that."
"You never know young lady always keep your heart open for any prospects who knows maybe he'll walk right into your arms sooner than you think," Helen said a bit cryptically.
"I doubt it Helen," Penelope returned wistfully thinking of only one sexy hunk of man that would do.
Helen shook her head, "Well here ya go dear. I have another key incase you miss place this one or get locked out. There's a small family run grocer about a mile down the street. If you're looking for some night life about twenty miles north there'll be a few bars and the like. Also there's a carnival in town on the pier about two miles down the beach if you like that kind of thing. If you need anything else just give a holler," and she turned to go.
"Helen," Penelope called after her fingering the key in her grasp and watching the aged beauty turn. "Thanks for the info."
Helen smiled, "No problem dear now you have yourself a good time."
"I'll try," Penelope told herself, stepping back out to retrieve her belongs and get settled.
Even though she'd seen him last night, spoke to him just a few short hours ago, she missed him. Was this what love did to you? That you couldn't go without seeing or being around that person for a long expanse of time without going crazy. Hell they weren't even together just really good friends and no matter how many times he'd broad that jet she always looked forward to having him come home. Never had it been like this with Lynch.
Granted the few times she'd had to go out on a case she kind of missed the sweet geeky man, but it paled in comparison to what she felt for Derek. But how could that even be right? They'd only kissed once. Granted a wonderfully lust filled, sexually dripping, tongue tangling lip lock that still sent chills over her body but it had only been once. Hell she wasn't ever a hundred percent sure what it all meant in the first place.
With a sharp shrug of her shoulders, Penelope set about getting her things unpacked and set up. Changing out of her long blue jean skirt and flower print peasant top slipping off her flat sandals feeling the plush soft carpet under her bare feet sighing in contentment at the feeling. Redressing in a multi colored cotton stick broom skirt and red tank top, a large pair of sunglasses held her red locks back as unpacked the few groceries she'd stopped and picked up before arriving. Humming a slow melody as she made quick work of the items, grabbing a large glass of water after setting the tea maker to start and then snatching her book from the counter and stepping out the sliding glass door breathing in the fresh salty ocean air.
He pulled up beside the butter yellow Cabbie a slight smirk gracing his handsome features at the sight. 'Oh would she be surprised to see him' he thought stepping down and patting his thigh motioning for his dog to come out as Helen started his way.
"Mr. Morgan," she stated extending her hand.
"Derek please," he answered excepting the offered limb with a slow easy shake. "Is everything ready?"
"Down to the last request sugar pop I do hope your lady friend enjoys your stay."
"So do I ma' am, so do I," he muttered giving the woman in front of him a bright smile.
If all went according to plan she'd be way more than just his friend by the end of this little trip. He just hoped God was on his side.
