Use Your Words

Chapter Ten

Wednesday February 17th 2010

Later that night, after their date where they made love on the living room floor of their new home, Penelope and Derek ended up back at his house, where they made love again and then lay in bed talking long into the night.

He asked her at one point "What do you think about trying for kids right away?"

"What about my time to ravish you senseless, sweetness? Hmm? Don't you want mama to give you a year of wild, kinky, nasty, uber fun?"

"Mmmm, yeah! But I also want to know that when I make love to you we could be making a baby." A moment passed. He stroked her hand over her hair in a soothing motion. "Are you still on the pill?"

Kinda meekly she answered "Yes."

"All right."

"I can't get pregnant before I even make it down the aisle."

"I hear you, baby girl."

Raising up so she could look into his eyes she cupped his face and said "I love you and I wanna have babies with you."

"I know that. Just not yet. Its cool. Hey, was I ready a few years back? Nope. I know it takes time to wrap your mind around starting a family and we have all the time in the whole world."

"Its just that we don't have to do everything this week just so we know it will happen. It will happen, Derek. I'll be your wife. We'll have a kid sleeping in bed between us. But it will happen in its own time. And that's going to be our perfect timing. When it happens it's the right time."

She could still feel some tension in him so she gave him a tender kiss. He asked her "What do you think about getting married at Christmas? Maybe we could go back to Chicago and do it in the church my parents were married in."

"Christmas?"

His gaze became hooded. "Too soon, girl? Maybe we should just wait to pick a date then. Talk about it again in six months or something."

Laying her head on his chest she listened to his heart beat while tracing shapes on his abs. "Getting married in Chicago sounds good to me, baby."

"Its just one option. We'll talk about it again, baby girl, down the road. Maybe having a beach wedding would be cool. Or having it at a vineyard in California. I don't really care where we get married." His voice filled with emotion "I just wanna be your husband."

Looking into his eyes again she spoke really fast. "Christmas is too far away."

"Is it?"

She kissed him. "I wanna be your wife." Kissed him again. "I'm not scared. Not worried in the slightest, handsome." Once more her lips met his. "I know its right to marry you. I know you'll always take care of me and always stay with me. I know we're gonna last."

Rolling her on her back he looked down at her. "When do you wanna marry me?"

"Tomorrow!"

He laughed. "Be realistic, girl!"

She pouted. "You asked when I wanna. That's when I wanna!"

He gave her a very sweet kiss. "That's when I wanna too but, like I said, be realistic. Pick a date to become my wife."

"Weddings take time to plan. Plus we haven't even told your mom we're together."

"My Mom will do back flips. Don't you worry about her. You're the daughter-in-law she has been praying for when she goes to church twice a week for years now."

Reaching up Penelope took hold of the back of his neck and caressed him. "Thinking about all this chocolate goodness being mine for life is very sexy to me. Its get me so wet."

"Mmmm," he said as he bent to kiss her "do not distract me with your delicious dirty talk. Pick a date and I mean it, woman."

"You get time off in May."

"I love the way you think! That is just what I was thinking, too." He scooted down and started to kiss her breasts. "You sure that's not too soon? You wanna get back to me on it?"

"Nope. I'm good with May. It will be hard to wait but oh so worth it when we have the wedding of our dreams."

"I will make sure its all you want. Just tell me what you want and its yours."

"Just you. Just you in a tux looking sexy and promising to love me forever."

"Penelope, you can consider that done. I promise you that we will have our wedding and it will be beautiful. I would never back out on you or ever run from this. I will never hurt you that way, baby girl."

"I trust you. I never trusted anyone more than I trust you."

"That's why you're my girl."

"Can we live together until the wedding?"

He moved up so that they were eye-to-eye. Waggling his head at her he said "I can't live without you, Garcia, so I guess we're gonna have to, ain't we?"

She smiled brightly. "I guess so!"

"I guess so," he teased her back before they started to make love again. The next day they could barely keep their eyes open at work but they didn't care. Later Derek caught some sleep on the plane when the team flew out to Colorado for another case.

Sunday February 21st 2010

The team was gone for four days. They got back very late on Sunday night. Derek went home to find Penelope waiting for him. She happened to be taking a bath and reading a book when he walked in.

Standing in the doorway of the bathroom he looked at the beautiful sight before him. Just a week before Derek was in his hotel room about to call Penelope to wish her a Happy Valentine's Day. At that moment he was just glad they hadn't lost their friendship completely when she got a serious boyfriend. He had no clue she was through with Lynch or that she wanted to start something with him. Even if she claimed she just wanted fun that night when they had phone sex she had to have known that it would rev up all their old feelings again. But she didn't think he'd do a damn thing about it. She didn't have faith that way in him then.

Now she had faith enough to promise to spend her life with him. All because he stepped up and told her how much he wanted her to be his wife. Derek smiled as he stared at his fiancee.

It was good to be home.

"Hey, angel," he said to her. "Room in there for one more?"

"Only if you promise to talk dirty to me while you're in here and do dirty things to me at the same time. Otherwise, nope, not a bit of room for you."

He was already stripping off his clothes. "Move your sexy ass forward right now, you hear me?"

"Yes, Sir Derek."

As soon as he was in the tub behind her they shared a steamy kiss. Penelope turned back on the water to warm it up. Derek let out a sigh as he pulled her back against him. "Another long case, sweetheart. And tomorrow we start a new one."

"I know. This last one was rough. Murdering someone in a church is just such bad karma."

"Yeah, well, I don't think the unsub gave a damn about his karma." Derek kissed Penelope throat. "You smell so good. What is in this water?"

"Lavender."

He raised an eyebrow. "I'm soaking in lavender water? Are you for real?"

She giggled. "You'll be my sweet smelling lover boy tonight."

"Hmpf."

She giggled some more. "You wanted to get in here so don't complain."

"Hell yeah, I did. I missed you. I missed touching you. Kissing you. I wanted to be in bed with you every night. Thank you for being here tonight when I got home. I could get so used to that."

"Good cause you are so stuck with me."

"Not stuck. Lucky."

"Luckily stuck!"

"Silly girl, shhh," he said as he kissed her again. After they broke apart Derek washed Penelope's hair for her. He also massaged her scalp. They started kissing again. Slow, tender, sultry kisses led to Penelope crawling on his lap and taking his cock deep inside of herself. She rode him at a slow sensual pace as he nibbled, sucked and licked at her tits. The sounds of her moans filled the room.

He had missed that sound too while he was away. Sharing a room with Reid had made phone sex not an option during this case. It had sucked to not be able to get as dirty and wild with her on the phone as he wanted.

In his mind Penelope was already his wife. Their vows would cement their union but his heart had already taken them. Derek had missed his wife for the four days he was away.

Tonight he thanked God she was here in his home loving him. Just to see her made him smile. To have her soapy, curvy, beautiful body moving as one with his was a freaking miracle come true and he treated it as such.

He couldn't describe how right it felt to come inside of her without the barrier of a condom. It was the kind of trust he hadn't shared with any other woman.

She lay on his chest afterwards. Whispering in his ear she asked "Guess what, my love?"

"Hmmm?"

"I went off the pill."

Jerking his head to the side to look in her eyes he felt stunned. Happiness barreled through him. "Penelope?"

She nodded happily.

He asked "Really, baby girl?"

"Yep! I thought about it and whatever happens will happen for a reason."

"Oh my God, baby girl, I love you very, very much." Derek gave her a teary kiss. He then leaned his head back and closed his eyes. She kept kissing his throat and nibbling his earlobe.

He told her "You make me love life again."

She smiled and licked at his ear. "So I don't have to behave anymore? Cause me being naughty got us here."

He laughed. "You don't know how to behave so its not even an issue we gotta discuss."

"Glad you know me so well, Angel Fish."

"Mmm, lets go to bed, mama."

They shared another kiss before getting out of the tub. Derek dried Penelope off, very slowly and gently, and then he combed her hair before laying a kiss on her shoulder. "Go find some warm pajamas, sweetheart. I'll be in soon."

She headed out of the bathroom. Derek called after her "Hey."

Penelope looked over her shoulder. She had just a towel wrapped around her.

He added "Thank you very much for wanting to start a family with me. We'll figure it all out whenever it happens. Don't worry, okay?"

"Oh, baby, I am not worried in the slightest because I'm sharing this road with you."

He stared after her lovingly as she left the room.
