JJ turned her head to look up at the ceiling; she closed her eyes and swallowed before opening her eyes again. Wow… I can't believe that in our one night together like this we just made out. Not only that but he didn't make a move…he respects me, he's treating me more than a fling she thought as she slowly felt her body cooling down.

Derek is looking at the darkness of the room to his right beyond the light, licking his lips she is a co-worker, I can't treat her like any girl I've bumped into and taken out for dinner. She is a good friend and I don't want to ruin it but this feels right - she didn't fight it or tell me not to make a move on her he thought, he closed his eyes deep in thought.

JJ then realized that she needed something cool, something refreshing and sat up, "where is the bottle of water from earlier?" she asked and Derek looked over at her, his mind still on the go, "just over there… watch your step though" he warned as he pointed over to his right.

JJ got to her feet and started over to where he'd pointed, however the light source near the cooler was very poor compared to the light around them. Knowing things had been moved she moved extra careful until she reached the cooler and found the cool bottle of water sitting on top. Picking it up she turned around to see what the area looks like and smiled when she pulled the bottle up and took a mouthful.

I can only actually see our area – everything else is so dark it makes the room look smaller than it is…she observed and put the cap back on, Derek frowned when he looked to see he couldn't see her very well.

"JJ – you okay?" he asked when she didn't come back over right away after finding the water.

JJ rolled her eyes and smiled, "I'm fine… with our set up the room looks so small compared to what its actual size is… our area gives off a confined glow" she explained and Derek smiled.

Same old JJ… maybe I should see about tickling her he thought and grinned as it crossed his mind. "Can I have a sip of the water?" he asked and she turned the cap to make sure it was on and started looking around for the way back.

Regrettably seeing the way back is harder than seeing the way out, stepping over one box to have the other foot land on something big, cold and hard. Using her right foot to take a step back to regain herself her heel hit a box much closer than she thought it was and fell forward to hit her head on the rim of a cardboard box.

Derek sat up with away when he heard the small clatter only to hear JJ grunt, unsure of what just happened he then heard her get up and watched her come over holding the bottle with her left and touching a part of her forehead with the right hand. "You okay? What did you hit your head on?" he asked as JJ came to sit down partially on her knees next to him.

"I'll be alright… my head hit a box" JJ responded as she handed Derek the bottle of cool water.

He set the bottle of water aside, more concerned with her forehead than him needing a drink, "let me see" he said while already reaching his hand up to her face, she removed her hand from her forehead and leaned forward for him to get a better look.

"I hope it doesn't stop me from getting my sleep tonight" JJ muttered as she lightly held the right side of her face to use the candlelight to let him see it better. "You will have a small bruise…" Derek observed and then smirked.

What's he thinking JJ wondered but before she could think up an answer his finger tips went to her sides and began to lightly rub back and forth, making her squirm in his hands and start to laugh.

Derek laughed in triumph at her squirming and trying to fend off his hands and watched her fall onto her side and roll onto her back, him repositioning himself overtop of her between the two beds. Grinning at her laughter, her smile and how she seems to be secretly enjoying it as his finger's move up and down her sides.

Sitting with a leg sitting on either side of her just below the hips, "stop… Derek please stop" JJ begged through fits of laughter and he did as was requested. Grinning down at her, watching her body slowly stop to a relaxed pose on the sleeping bag.

JJ looks up at him, her hands now behind her head, grinning. Derek thought for a moment before saying, "hey… can I try something on you?" he asked and she gave him a questioning look.

"No feathers" JJ stated and he shook his head, "no… something else that doesn't have to do with tickling you or making you jump" he responded and she narrowed her eyes on him, "just close your eyes, lay your arms next to you and let me try this little something on you."

Deciding she wanted to know what he is up to she set her arm's down on either side of her and looked up at the ceiling before closing her eyes.

Derek repositioned himself by moving his legs a little further down and went to her pants first, placing his index and fore finger onto the top part he carefully undoes her pants button. Watching her features she closes her eyes more as if squinting at trying to figure out what he is up to.

Being very careful he unzips a small portion of her pants and pulls down a small part of her underwear, looking down he closes his eyes as he leans his head down to place a gentle kiss onto her skin.

Slowly he places tender kisses up her skin, feeling her body move to her breathing under his mouth as he reaches her belly button. Derek sticks just a point of his tongue into her belly button and licks the inside before placing soft butterfly kisses around it.

His hands on either side of her, holding her frame gently as he slowly moves his lips up, his kisses just brushing her skin as he moved up her center, happy to feel a little change in her breathing. He replaces his hands at just below her under arms, and looks up for a brief moment to see her face is relaxed and content.

Making his way to the center of her braw she places a kiss onto it before moving just beyond her braw, still ever so slowly placing tender kisses up the center of her chest. He comes up to the collar bone and begins to place kisses up it before turning to go up the side of her neck, now placing little nibbles between each kiss and smiles to himself when he hears JJ take in a sharp but small intake of air.

Derek continued his little butterfly kisses up her jaw and around to her cheek, opening his eyes again to see her in bliss, choosing his kisses carefully now he kisses next to her left eye, moving up he places another tender kiss onto the center of her forehead. Her lips a crack open, he moves to where she hit her head and places a special loving kiss onto it, moving down to her right cheek he then looks at her lips again.

Why have I never before this night ever thought of her lips before… he wondered as he placed a quick gentle kiss onto her lips, reaching down for her hands he slowly raises them to being above her head and holds them there as he gives her another kiss on her soft lips.

Closing his eyes he seals his mouth over her lips before opening his mouth again to have JJ part her lips to meet the next kiss and seal it. Parting his lips just a sliver away from her's she does the same and he replaces his lips onto her's as she returns the kiss.

Lowering his left hand he places it onto the right side of her face, knowing she wants to make a move but acknowledging that he's still doing his little something of a test on her to see how she responds. Feeling her heart beating against his chest and her chest pressing into his due to how close he's placed his body over her's.

Gliding his right hand from her arms above her head down to going by her head, her neck and now using the back of his knuckles to slowly slide down her middle to JJ's belly button. Still kissing her lips like they are tender her turns his hand so the inside of his hand is facing her body and slowly blushes his finger tips up her stomach to lay his hand nearly on her skin and glide his right hand over to the side of her waist.

JJ letting out a little moan of enjoyment as Derek then opens his mouth to seal his lips over her's to deepen the kiss.
