Author's note: I'm not overly happy with this chapter and I feel this has now branched off from the original plan I had for this story. There won't be much more of this story after now, just a heads up. But, if the feeling takes me there will be some one-shots which stem from the start of this story ;)
Sorry for the wait…my muse got all caught up in 'Love Comes, but not always the right way.'

The first day of the case had dragged on forever and they hadn't made much headway. Garcia had spent hours on end pouring over all of the footage from every angle she could get, pouring coffee down her throat as she went to try to keep herself alert and awake. She had to find something, anything that would help stop this UnSub.
While she was throwing herself into her work, the others were busy trying to read all the files and piece together a more complete profile so that they could present the police with it later that day. And when they finally did give the profile, they were frustrated to learn that the police there thought it was a lot of cock-and-bull and weren't all that interested in what they had to say, instead thinking that they would find the person who did this using good old fashioned police work, a little elbow grease and a bag of soggy donuts.
The red numbers on the digital clock told Garcia it was 12:00am when her head lolled to the side and she awoke with a jolt, sitting up straight in her chair. She rubbed at her neck quickly, trying to ease the muscle ache she knew would be there in a minute as she exhaled noisily before pushing herself towards the computer screens once more. It was only then that she felt the familiar gaze on her and turned with a tired smile to see Morgan leaning with his back against the door watching her with a cheeky smile adorning his face.
"What can I get you handsome?" She asked, returning his smile before turning back to her computer screen to hide the slight blush that rose up her cheeks from just his smile.
"You can come and get some food, is what you can do sweetness. Hotch ordered in." He demanded in that deep Derek Morgan voice that was like candy to her ears.
"Mmm, what'd the boss man order?"
"Pizza." He replied, walking towards her, turning her chair around and taking her hand to pull her from her throne. "Come on P, time to eat is now." She saw the concern in his eyes and batted it away with the wave of her other hand and a smile as she allowed herself to be pulled from her temporary command post and into the main offices.
A few slices of pizza and some bottled water later all seven of them were sitting around the conference table trying to come up with something that they had missed in order to catch the unsub, everyone getting more frustrated as the next round of brainstorming brought nothing new to the table.
The next few days yielded nothing but more murders and less clues. They were struggling, and the strain was evident in them all.
When they finally managed to catch the unsub, 4 days later, they were all so relieved to be going back home, to be going back to the comfort of their own homes, and for some of them to the comfort of each others' arms what with the frat rules and 'trial period' making Morgan and Garcia catch themselves before they did anything that strayed from their normal bantering behaviour.
The case seemed to take a massive toll on all of them, each wondering how someone could ever justify murdering innocent people for sport. It turned out that the UnSub was in fact a team of four brothers from Nevada who were picking off people in the small town all for a part of some deluded game they were playing. Thankfully the team had been able to stop them, although the eldest was still out there somewhere. His picture was all over the news though now and it was only a matter of time before he slipped up and would be brought in.
Finally making it back into Quantico, to Morgan drove Pen to her place. He walked her to her door as always and when she invited him in he accepted happily, immediately enveloping her in a massive hug when the door closed behind them.
He took a deep breath, breathing in the delicious aroma of the shampoo she'd used and feeling her body next to his. She clung to him, feeding off of his strength as much as he was feeding off of hers, the case had taken its toll on them both. She moved her face to the crook of his neck, inhaling the smell of his aftershave before she placed her soft lips on his pulse before moving her lips slowly up towards his jaw, hearing him moan in appreciation of her ministrations. She relished the sound, it reminded her that this man she was with, this beautiful beautiful man, was brought to his knees by her. His hold alone reminded her that they would be ok, that as long as they were as open as they have ever been and continued to explore this relationship they had entered into then they would be able to cope with anything. He was her rock and her strength, as well as her weakness, but together they made one hell of a team, each being the thing the other needed when they needed it most.
His fingers lifted her chin, removing her lips from his jaw so that they met his own in a searing kiss, each putting all of their emotions into it, releasing all their case related tensions and just focusing on giving and receiving pleasure. The kiss quickly flew high in the passion scales and it wasn't long before Morgan had her pinned between him and the nearest wall, his hands roaming her curves as she pulled him down to her as close as he could be.
As they pulled apart for air their breaths mingled in the air and when their eyes met Pen could see the love he had for her, and she drew from it, taking the strength his love gave her, the feeling of being the most beautiful woman in the world. Their lips met again, softer this time, each showing with tenderness just how much they needed the other. "I love you." he whispered, before he placed his lips on hers, swallowing any words she was going to say, not wanting her to feel like she had to say it just because he had.
They made their way to the bedroom in their lovers embrace and they fell on to the bed, lips still fused together. Her heart had swelled at his words and she put all she had into this kiss to show him she felt the same so that he would believe her when she said the words to him.
It wasn't long before they had both shed their clothes in favour of feeling every inch of the other under their fingertips. And in the dark of Morgan's apartment they showed each other just how much they wanted them, drawing forth moans, groans and even screams of approval as they raced towards climax.
With one last thrust of his hips met by Pen's they both fell over the edge, the others' name on their lips and a smile lingering as they basked in the afterglow of great sex with the person they loved most in the world.
They crawled under the covers, their limbs entangled as they remained close to each other and Derek shivered as she kissed the side of his neck softly before saying the words which caused his heart to swell to incomparable dimensions: "I love you too."
What'd you think?
I feel I rushed the case, but it was not for happening when I tried to write it more detailed...case fics are not my forte me thinks :P And my smut muse has gone walkabout :S
