Note- This fic is set during and after season five episode twelve titled The Uncanny Valley where Penelope surprised Derek by dying her hair red. He first found out when he was sitting on the jet and her face came up on the lap top, which he had pointed right at him.

This fic assumes that Derek and Penelope hooked up around Christmas time.

Hotter Than Ever

"Woman, you really should get a spanking this time," he said into his cell as he stood in the galley of the plane. "You and your sexy red hair have me hard as hell right now. You think you could have given me a head's up and a private unveiling of your new style? Hmmm?"

She chuckled in her sexy, throaty way that made his heart race. "What would be the fun in that, my love? Besides now you have some added motivation to hurry home to mama so you can run your fingers through my crimson locks."

"Any particular reason you went red, baby girl?"

"Just in the mood. Fear not your Goddess shall be the blonde bombshell you know and crave so desperately once again one day. Until then you'll just have to get your thrills with a sexy red head who knows all the spots on you to make you scream."

"That goes both ways, Penelope."

"Ohhhh, but its you, mon cher, who screams the loudest."

"Is that a dare? Cause I've never backed down from a dare in my life. You should be careful before that dirty mouth of yours gets you in trouble."

"If talking dirty is a crime then lock me up and throw away the key- just as long as you lock me to your bed."

He chuckled. "Okay, behave now! I need to get back to the team and they are definitely going to be suspicious if I was to go out there in the condition you have me in right now."

"If I came along on this case my wicked and willing tongue could handle your little condition."

"Little?" he mocked. "That's it, baby girl, you're getting taught a lesson just as soon as I get home."

"I'll just have to bend over and take my punishment like the good girl you seem to want me to be. Make sure you really teach me a lesson this time, Derek. Don't stop till I'm whimpering for relief."

"Garcia," he said through clenched teeth as his pants tightened even more "enough! You got to give it a rest so I can focus on work."

"Sorry!" she said in the cutest voice that made his heart melt. Then she added, in a smoky and sex filled tone, "But not really," before she hung up.

Derek grinned and stared at his cell phone. Damn, he loved dating her. It was well worth the wait and the pain that came before.

And now she was a hot red head, at least for a little while, which gave him a whole new way to imagine her in his fantasies. She knew just how to keep him hot and bothered twenty four hours a day. But he wouldn't want it any other way.

XXXXXXXXXX

Penelope planned to tease and torture Derek really good once she got him back to his place later on tonight. The team had returned from their latest case and they all decided to hit the bar.

As usual Derek made sure to sit right next to Penelope. They were trying to keep the fact that they were now a couple from the team for a little while. They didn't want everyone at work talking about it since Lynch worked in the same building. They wanted to give him some time to get over the break up.

Knowing this Derek was supposed to keep his hands off her in public. Instead of doing that tonight he had snuck one hand under the table and was caressing her thigh.

It was all Penelope could do not to squirm as heat sizzled through her body at his touch. His large, warm hand massaging her thigh was making her wet and ready for him. And making it incredibly hard to focus on the story Rossi was telling about the first time he went out on a book tour.

Derek shifted in his seat, so he was even closer to her, and let one finger slip between her legs. It skimmed the edge of her panties.

Penelope's breasts were heavy, aching to be caressed, and her nipples were hard. She was going to really get her payback on him for putting her in this position in public.

Her face felt like it was on fire. She gulped her drink and then said "I want to dance!" which was something she hadn't said in all the years they came to this bar.

Derek moved away from her and looked at her. "Well its about time, baby girl."

She smirked at him. "I was thinking the same exact thing, handsome." Then she turned and looked at Reid "Come on, boy genius, lets have ourselves some fun."

Derek sputtered and choked on his drink, losing his cool veneer as he watched Penelope stand up and try to coax Reid into dancing with her. Reid kept saying his leg wasn't up for it. She told him it had been healed for a while now and to stop being a spoil sport but he wouldn't budge from his seat.

Penelope pouted "I guess I'll have to go with my second choice. Hot Stuff, you in the mood?"

Derek gave her a heated look. He slowly stood up, took her hand and pulled her onto the dance floor. Into her ear he said "You will pay for that later."

She whispered back "Right after you pay for teasing me all night."

Derek's hands went to her hips and jerked her flush with him.

Penelope stiffened "What are you doing?"

"Dancing, baby girl, what do you think?"

"I don't know. Is this how you....ohhhhhh, wow, that's so.....mmmmm."

He was pressing himself against her and moving their lower bodies to the rhythm of the music. Derek chuckled against her ear. "You just don't know what you've been missing all these years."

Her arms wrapped around his neck. She let out a sinful soft moan. "Meet me at your place, baby. You leave first and I'll follow in ten minutes."

"Not so fast. We're barely got started dancing."

"And if we keep going the least of our problems will be the team finding out we're dating. We'll be arrested for indecent exposure when I rip off every last shred of clothing and take you on the floor in front of everyone here."

He teased "Thought you don't like being exposed to prying eyes?"

"Right about now I wouldn't be able to see anyone else but your chocolate God body. And if you want to see your fiery haired Goddess in all her glory tonight then you better get moving out the door before I get mad at you and put you on punishment."

"Woman, you do know how to make me do whatever you want."

She nodded with an adorable grin on her lips.

Derek laughed as he guided her back to the table. "I'm beat everyone. I'm taking off. Make sure my baby girl gets to her car safe, all right?"

"You're so sweet, handsome."

He gave her a long look. "Just looking out for my girl."

"You really must be tired if you're going home alone tonight," Penelope teased "The women in here won't know what to think if you don't even attempt to take one of them home. Are you losing your game, Morgan?"

Reid started in with "Statistically speaking, as men age their testosterone levels decline which leads to a decreased sex drive-"

Derek said "Kid, my testosterone levels are fine, all right? I'm just tired."

Emily said "You've been too tired to pick up any chicks for a couple of years now. You must really need some rest. Or else some Viagra."

Derek shook his head at her, in a playful way, and said "I'll get you back for that one, Prentiss," before he walked off.

Penelope was grinning from ear-to-ear as she watched him leave.

XXXXXXXXXX

By the time Penelope made it to Derek's house he had let Clooney out into the back yard, then Derek stripped down to just his jeans and put on some music.

Penelope used her key to come in. She dropped her purse on the couch, shucked out of her coat and gloves and then headed toward the bedroom, where she found a shirtless Derek dancing seductively. He said "Ready to finish what we started at the bar?"

"More like I'm ready to make you see what it feels like to have a hand on your thigh that won't move to where you want it to be. You were so bad with how you were teasing me tonight."

"That wasn't about teasing you. I just couldn't wait any longer to get my hands on you." He nuzzled her neck as he wrapped one arm around her back and pulled her tight against him, rocking their bodies to the beat of the music. "Mmmm, I missed you, sweetheart. My sexy red headed mama looking all fine on that computer screen knowing I couldn't do a damn thing about it."

"So do something now, Hot Stuff."

Wearing a huge grin he picked her up. She squealed and wrapped her legs around his back as their lips met in a torrid kiss. A few large steps took them to the bed where Derek laid her on her back and followed her down.

He gently took the hair clips out of her hair and then ran his fingers through it. "Don't get me wrong, I want my blonde Goddess back one day but I'm gonna enjoy this sexy firecracker red head I get to be with right now."

She pushed him on his back and straddled him. "Don't you know red heads like to be in charge?"

Derek didn't stop smiling till he was moaning, then screaming then calling out her name, which was how it always went ever since they started sleeping together. Sometimes it was intensely emotional and sometimes it was quick and dirty. Every time they made love he was amazed by how right and good it was.

The last couple of years were hard on him but now the pain was falling away in the loving arms of his baby girl- the sexiest woman he ever met, blonde or red head or with pink streaks in her hair. She was always too hot for words and he was always left wanting more and more and more.....and now she was willing to give him as much as he wanted.

They wouldn't get out of this bed till the last possible moment they could in the morning, in order to not be late for work, and for every second of the time they were in his bed together they would be touching.

He intended to spank her sexy little ass at some point for getting him hard when he was on the plane but first he wanted to sink himself inside of her, feel like he was home, and whisper in her ear "I love you, silly girl," like he did every time they made love.

Derek had his priorities after all.
