Going Once, Going Twice, Sold-Ch 2

Derek walked around to the passengers side of the car and opened the door, Penelope kissed him on the cheek and said, "thank you my prince", he winked at her and said, "anything for you princess". When she slid in he shut the door and walked back over and got behind the wheel and put the keys in the ignition and started the engine.

Penelope said, "soooo sugar where are we going"?, he said, "ohhhh I have a few things planned for us", she said, "so no hints", he laughed and said, "nope, sorry sweetness, no hints". She sighed and said, "you Derek Morgan are a tease", he said, "ohhh after tonight beautiful you will say I'm anything but a tease" causing her to shiver wondering just what the night held in store for them.

As they continued on their way she said, "uhhhh hotstuff"?, he said, "yeah angel", she said, "you do know that you didn't have to pay $10,000 dollars for a night out with me, all ya had to do was ask and I would have went out with ya". He grinned and said, "well I wanted you all to myself with no interruptions and besides if I hadn't bid on you Sam would have gotten you".

She shook her head and said, "I want nothing to do with him, we parted on let's just say not good standings", he said, "why did the two of you break up if you don't mind me asking". Penelope said, "well let's just say I caught him with his hands in the cookie jar, somebody elses cookie jar, if ya know what I mean"?, Derek nodded his head and said, "I do and I'm so sorry".

Penelope said, "don't be mon cher I'm not, I'm just glad that he's out of my life", Derek said, "me to, now it gives me a chance to spoil my girl rotten", she laughed and said, "spoil me huh"?, he said, "yep that's right, just wait, you'll see". The car stopped and Penelope said, "uhhhh why are we here"?, he said, "be patient goddess, be patient, all will be revealed".

He got out of the car and walked around to the passenger side and opened her door, he held out his hand and smiled as she slid her hand in his as she climbed out of the car. He then held out his arm and said, "I hope you're ready for an evening of romance Derek Morgan style", she grinned and said, "always angel fish, always" as they headed up the path toward a beautiful beach house.

When they stopped on the porch she said, "how's house is this"?, he said, "mine" as he put the key into the lock and turned the door, as he pushed the door open she said, "yours"?, he said, "yep, bought it earlier in the year and on our downtime when I haven't been with you I've been here working on it and it's finally finished".

They stepped inside and she said, "ohhh it's beautiful" as they walked into the living room, the furniture was soooo Derek and the fireplace made it look rustic. He said, "would you like a tour now or later"?, she said, "how about we take the tour later, right now I want to see what you have planned for us tonight".

He tapped the end of her nose and said, "you Ms. thang need to have patience and I promise you that tonight is going to be filled with pleasure for both of us". Just hearing those words fall from his lips made her heart beat faster, he reached over and intertwined their fingers and said, "would you like to dance"?, she nodded her head and said, "I'd like that".

He walked over and turned the sound system on and she grinned as soft romantic music filled the room, Derek walked back over and pulled her gently into his arms. She sighed happily and said, "you went to a lot of trouble for tonight didn't ya"?, he said, "no mam, I just wanted tonight to be perfect for you, for us".

As they started swaying to the music Derek said, "I love holding you in my arms", she said, "y y you do"?, he smiled down at her and said, "yes I do, everything feels perfect when you're in my arms". She laid her head down on his chest and said, "I love being in your arms, I feel so safe, so wanted, so loved".

He ran his hand down her back and said, "you are goddess, you are", she looked up and said, "Derek", he said, "yes beautiful", she said, "why tonight"?, he said, "I'm tired of waiting". She said, "tired of waiting for what"?, he said, "tired of waiting for one of us to make the first move so tonight I'm doing it, I'm staking my claim".

She grinned and said, "staking your claim on what"?, he cupped her face in his hands and said, "you baby girl, you" and then his lips descended on hers in a soft and gentle kiss.
