Use Your Words
Wednesday February 17th 2010
Hotch looked up when Derek knocked at his open office door. Surprise flickered through his gaze. "You're in early. Come in. Everything okay?"
"Yeah, yeah things are good. Real good. I just need to talk to you."
"Sit down, please, and go ahead. What is this about?"
Derek sat on the couch. He took in and let out a breath. "I'm getting married, man."
Hotch blinked a few times. "Excuse me, did you say married?"
"Yeah, finally settling down, can you believe it?"
Hotch stood and walked around the desk. He stuck out his hand. Derek rose and shook his hand.
"Congratulations. I had no idea you were involved in a serious relationship. I hope I can meet her soon. Whatever time you need off for the wedding and honeymoon just let me know. I assume you'll want to invite the team so I'll request a few extra days for everyone before that weekend and make sure another team takes any cases that come up. Is there a date set?"
"Still working that all out. I'm gonna ask her if May would be all right with her. Since we always get vacation around that time anyway."
"Smart thinking." Hotch put a hand on Derek's shoulder. "So the day has come. I wondered if it ever would. Gideon always said you'd get there and surprise us all."
Derek grinned. "Yeah, well, he knew before me then cause I can't say I was sure back then. But, man, I couldn't be more sure now. I'd marry her today if she wanted to."
Moving away from Derek, Hotch leaned against the edge of his desk. For a moment his eyes went to the pictures on his desk and then he asked Derek "Have you known her long? I'm not judging. Just asking. Sometimes things happen fast and work out."
"I know you've always thought I had trust issues. You aren't far off the mark there, I'm sure you know that already. But this wasn't something I've been hiding from the team."
"You have a right to your private life. Its so hard to have any secrets around here. Even good families have their secrets."
"Right, right. But around here nothing stays secret for long."
"So you haven't been dating her very long then?"
"Hotch...I would never wanna screw up this team. I love this team and I love having my place on it. Even if it cost me a lot over the years I wouldn't trade anything we've done. We've done good work but I have to put my personal life before this job. Its not a hard choice. I just wanted to tell you man-to-man that working with you has taught me so much about how to be a better profiler and a better man. Thank you for being my mentor. I'm not sure how this is gonna work out for the team but I know that for myself its gonna be just what I want." He paused for a moment and the said "Penelope kicked Lynch out of her life and she's agreed to become Mrs. Derek Morgan." A big grin curved his lips.
Hotch gave him a very amused smile. He had figured out a while into the conversation that Derek must be talking about Penelope. It was the tender look in his eye that gave him away. "You had better treat her right."
"You can bet on that."
They shook hands again and even leaned in for a half hug. Hotch patted Derek's back. "I don't want to lose either of you from this team but you need to put your life with her first. The rest will work itself out."
"That's exactly what I'm thinking."

Later that day Derek knocked on Penelope's door and then strolled into her office. He walked up behind her and placed his hands on her shoulder, massaging lightly, as she said "Hey, Hot Stuff."
She gave him a sexy little smile that had his body heating up in a five seconds flat.
Moving his mouth by her ear he asked "Can you have phone sex without being on the phone? Right now you sitting there with that shirt on is driving me crazy. I can see right down it. It makes me wanna pull it down and slip your tits out of that bra that's holding them hostage. Rub and caress and massage them till you're whimpering my name and then bend over and lick slowly across both of them before finally...mercifully...giving you the relief you need by sucking your pretty pink nipples into my mouth and-" He lay a kiss on her neck and stood up.
"Wait! What? And what, baby?"
"Later, Garcia. I got paperwork to do."
"You better not answer your phone unless you want to have quite the problem in the bullpen!"
Derek laughed as he left the room. He knew the problem she was referring to was the hard on she would cause with her sexy words. It would be far from the first time or the last that she got him in that situation during work hours.
He couldn't stop smiling as he sat back down at his desk. By now he had told Reid about everything that was happening with Penelope so Reid had a knowing look in his eye when he saw Derek saunter back from her office looking so happy.

So far Derek had taken Penelope to New York City for a Broadway show and over to Washington DC to see the opera. Neither were his particular cup of tea but he loved seeing her all dressed up, smiling, happy, feeling like a princess and that made it more than worth the effort, money and sitting through shows he didn't really enjoy.
This evening he had something else in mind for them though. He sent an address to her via text message and asked for her to come over around eight pm. That gave him a little while after work to go shopping and get everything he needed.
When Penelope showed up at the house- which he had been fixing up to sell- he gave her a quick kiss at the door and then brought her inside. After helping her out of her coat he walked her into the living room and showed her how he had set up an indoor picnic for dinner.
"Aw, handsome, that is uber romantic."
There was a roaring fire in the fireplace, a checkered blanket on the floor, a bottle of wine and glasses plus a cheese and cracker tray. "Come take a look around."
Before he could even lead her a step away she was wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling his head down into a kiss. Moaning against her lips, he felt the effects of the kiss shoot down to his cock and make it start to harden. He pulled her even closer.
When they broke apart she grabbed a fist ful of his blue shirt. Looking up at him she said "You got me so hot today at work. What were you thinking? You just turned me on and then walked away!"
He chuckled. "Get used to it. Its work. I can't turn you on and do something about it, can I? And we both know I always do turn you on."
She chuckled. "Yeah but that was just...mmmm...too much! Making me think about all that when I was trying to hack."
"Like you don't think about it anyway." He kissed her nose. "Now, come on, gorgeous, time to see this house and tell me if you like it."
Derek walked her through the whole place. They ended up in the master bedroom. None of the house was furnished yet. It was an a very old house that was built in the 1920's. Derek was trying to restore it to its former glory. "What do you think, mama?"
"Its very nice. You've doing a bang up job fixing it up, baby, really. Its uber awesome."
"What do you think about...this being our house?" He searched her eyes.
A moment passed and then a sweet smile came to her lips. Her arms looped around his neck. He picked her up and spun her around then kissed her soundly. His fingers tangled in her red hair. "Baby girl, is that a yes? Is this our house or do you wanna keep looking? Cause we can keep look-"
"Stop right there. This is our house. This is the one you want for us. That means it's the one I want for us too."
Emotionally he said "Thank you so much, baby girl. Its all coming together for us now, ain't it?"
She nodded happily. They kissed some more. His lips left her mouth and went to her throat- licking, sucking, tasting- as his hands grabbed her ass and pulled her taut against him. Penelope moaned deeply.
She accused him "You made sure there was no bed here on purpose."
He laughed and moved back. "No, I didn't, silly girl. Why would I have a house full of furniture when I'm not even done fixing this place up? Besides, I'm sure you wanna pick out all our furniture yourself."
"You have a house full of stuff already. I don't know that we really need to spend money for all
new-"
"Hush." He gave her a stern look. "You will decorate our home and you won't worry about the money. We're gonna be spending a lot of money in the next couple of years. Get used to it."
"Since when do you throw your money around? You've always been into saving, saving, saving. I don't need fancy anything, baby, so please don't think that's what I want."
He pulled her close. "I've always been saving for my future. Now its here. Getting married and having kids, Garcia, that takes a lot of cash, any way you look at it. But that's cool cause I've spent a lot of years working toward this and I did all that so if I ever did settle down I could take care of my wife and kids right. Yeah the recession hit me as hard as anyone else, you know that, but I did all right. I could buy houses cheaper and I made some good deals. We're gonna be okay for money so lets not fight about it." Then he dragged out the next couple of words "Okay, woman?"
"Okay, handsome. I'll decorate but you know my style so be prepared for living in a crazy, fun zone."
Derek roared with laughter. "As long as that crazy, fun zone has my crazy, fun wife in it that's cool with me. Now lets go get some dinner, baby girl."
Holding hands he took her back downstairs where they sat on the blanket in front of the roaring fire and fed each other dinner until Penelope decided to get a little wild. She took the chocolate sauce that Derek had for dipping strawberries and stuck her finger in it.
Then she streaked it over her cleavage. His eyes went hot. Leaning over he licked it off and then sat back, a dare in his eyes for her to do more.
She pulled the loose silk fabric of her dress down and then her bra, exposing those pink nipples of hers to him for the first time. She circled one in sauce and then nibbled her bottom lip, holding her breath, as he moved in.
First he kissed each of her breasts. Then he lifted them and caressed them. His thumbs flicked their tips. She closed her eyes and let her head fall back.
His warm lips were laying more kisses on her. Then he started to slowly lick around her areola. Finally he licked over the nipple and swallowed down the chocolate sauce but didn't stop there. He started to suck her breast as he caressed the other one.
Slipping a hand under her dress he found that slip of silk fabric between her legs. For the first time he was able to touch her panties and- just like in all his fantasies- they were soaking wet.
Wet from wanting him.
