Morgan could tell something happened. He didn't know why but he could tell something went wrong. He knocked on JJ's door about an hour after he got her message. He stopped along the way to get food because he didn't think either of them would be in the mood to cook anything. When he didn't get a response, Morgan started to get nervous. He pulled out the spare keys he had to JJ's place and opened her door. He quickly shut off her alarm and looked around. He noticed the couch cushions and the shattered coaster on the floor. What the hell happened here? "JJ? Where are you?" He called out. He didn't get a response and Derek started to get really nervous. He quickly moved about the ground floor before making his way upstairs. If Will did anything to JJ he was going to kill him! Morgan quickly and quietly made his way toward her bedroom and sighed in relief when he saw her passed out on the bed. He quickly walked into the room and made his way to her side. He growled when he saw the bruise on her face when he brushed her hair back. I'm going to snap his fucking neck! Morgan was more furious than he's ever been in his life. "Jay? Wake up princess?" He watched as she slowly nuzzled her cheek into his hand before she opened her eyes.
"Hey." Her voice cracked from a dry sore throat. She could see he was angry; he couldn't hide this fury from her. "Derek Don't, it's over. I'm fine. I'm right here. It's over." She tried to cool him down. Her voice was weak and it only continued to infuriate Morgan. JJ could see that he wasn't the least bit calmed by her words. She tried once more as he began to rise; no doubt to kill Will. She couldn't afford to lose Derek now to stupid rage. "Derek, please." Her voice broke as she began to cry.
She was broken.
Derek immediately paused when he heard her. He fell back to his knees and pulled her up to a sitting position. Her eyes widened in surprise as she could see from the light from the streetlight outside the tears in Derek's eyes. He stared at her for what felt like hours but could only have been minutes. She reached out to caress his cheek and watched as his eyes closed and more tears raced down his face. JJ whispered, "I love you, baby." She watched as he turned his head and rested it on her lap.
He was broken too.
"I'm so sorry. I knew I should have been here. If I were here, this would not have happened. I'm so sorry baby. I'm supposed to protect you." His voice was so sad that it broke JJ's heart. If she didn't believe it before, she believed it now. Derek was the one for her. He was the right man.
She reached to turn his face back to hers. "This wasn't your fault and I'm okay. We're okay and we're together. He won't get away with this but we have to do this right. I need you here with me. Always." She leaned down so she could kiss his forehead. "Stay." Kiss to his left cheek. "With." Kiss to his right. "Me." Then she gave him the sweetest kiss she could. "Stay with me Derek."
Derek licked his lips as he realized his woman just seduced him. He didn't have doubts that JJ had game but she just knocked him out of the ballpark. He nodded as he kissed her once more before slowly rising to stand. "I believe I promised to show you why you chose me after Will left." He winked at her making her smile. "And if I am anything, I am a man of my word." JJ could feel her body get warm as it reacted to Morgan's voice. Derek smiled as he noticed JJ's eyes darken. He pulled her to stand with him before he continued. He kissed her deeply bruising her lips before releasing her. JJ felt short of breath and hot. A familiar throb made it's way between her legs. "We're going to play a little game. Do you want to know what game?" Derek leaned in and began to kiss her neck. JJ moaned, too distracted to answer his game. Derek paused and whispered in her ear, "JJ? Ask me what game?" before he went back to nibbling on her neck.
"What game?" She gasped out hotly.
Derek smiled sexily before answering, "Strip poker."
A/N: I know this is cruel but I decided to make this a short little teaser for the next chapter plus I felt kind of wrong putting a game of strip poker in the same chapter as this bedroom scene between JJ and Morgan, changes the mood. I'm already working away on the next chapter and will hopefully have it out soon. I'm going to finish this story before WTP as it seems my muse is feeling it for this one right now.
