Baby, Come Back

Morgan and Garcia

Chapter Three

September 2007

Derek was holding both of Penelope's hands as they sat on her couch in her New York City apartment. "I'm trying to tell you something. I swore to myself the next time I saw you I would say this."

Her breath hitched. "Well, now I am intrigued."

"I'm sorry. I owe you an apology."

"What's her name?" Penelope joked "I"ll skin her bald for getting with my man."

He chuckled. "Penelope, listen to me, please."

"Sorry. Go ahead. What could you possibly owe me an apology over?"

"When you left...I acted like it wasn't a big deal...I guess I wanted to believe that...but I was fooling myself, baby, cause I want you back home real bad. I want this case done and you back at the BAU where you belong. And I don't want the bosses to ever loan you out again. If I'm not working I want us in the same state everyday that we can be."

Penelope gave him a sweet smile. "Sounds like you got yourself a little crush on me."

"Is the Grand Canyon little?"

She chuckled. "You silly man. I knew you would succumb to my charms sooner or later. You poor wreck of a man. My handsome stud muffin is going to pot without me home to give you TLC. But I'll be back soon. Just a few more weeks. A month tops."

He groaned. "Is there anything I could do to speed this case along?"

"Derek, who is the tech Goddess here?"

"You are, mama."

"Then let me do my thing. Believe me, I do miss home, you, the rest of the team and my apartment. But I'll be back before you know, squirreled away in my office at the ready to answer your calls with something better fit for a porno then the Federal Beaura of Investigations. Life will be back to normal soon. Its adorable that you miss me so much though."

"I feel like a real jerk, Penelope. It shouldn't take you moving away for me to realize how important you are to me."

"Aw, you're important to me too."

He ran his finger over her nose. "Everyday we get closer. What do you think about that?"

"That one day we'll be so close that clothing will be optional during all our alone time."

"Silly girl, I never know if you're serious or just teasing me but I know I need you in my everyday life and not just a phone call each night."

"Our friendship is unique and wonderfully original. I treasure it too, Derek, and if I had any choice in the matter I would always be your BAU tech kitten."

He ran his thumb over her cheek and under her chin. Waggling his head at her he asked "What if I say I want more than just a tech kitten? What if I want a kitten in Derek Morgan's bed?"

She stilled and swallowed. Her eyes widened.

His voice was thick when he asked "Could you ever see yourself-?"

She cut him off. "I don't know."

"You don't know? Tell me you've never thought about it and I will know those hot lips you got are lying, baby girl."

"I thought we both said-?"

"I know what we said but-"

"We said we were better as friends. That's what we said."

"I know and I did think that but-"

"I am the type of woman that grows on men."

"Baby-"

"It takes a while for me but this is not unusual. I was always that girl that hung out with guys and they thought of her as a guy till they looked up one day and saw boobs and realized how she knew everything about them and then they convinced themselves she was the one for them. But all those guys were horrible lays and I doubt you would be so I guess the comparisons stop there."

"Motor mouth, hush. Don't lump me in with some losers you used to know. I didn't look up one day and realize you're a beautiful princess. I always saw that. I just wouldn't admit how very much you mean to me until you moved here. Call me a chicken, Garcia, but don't blow me off cause my heart is so in my hand right now and I just want you to see that." He kissed her forehead. "Now, no more about this tonight. Just think of what I said and when you come home we'll figure it all out. I just want you to know, baby girl, that I miss you and I am so sprung over you...I never missed anyone like this before. It sucks."

She smiled sweetly. "You have given me a lot of food for thought, baby."

"Think about this too," he pulled her close and gave her a very soft kiss, then another soft and tentative kiss, and another and another until she wrapped her arms around him. He moaned and deepened their kisses, feeling heat flood him and shivers shoot down his spine, his dick went hard and he was completely drenched in lust, the scent of her, the taste of her and the feel of having her softness in his arms.

By the time they broke apart she was sitting on his lap. He kissed her throat and shoulders and then her cleavage, getting completely carried away as his breathing quicken more and more with every kiss pressed to her overheated perfumed skin.

"You smell so good, Penelope." Derek kissed all up her throat and caught her mouth in another kiss.

After pulling back he looked into her eyes and saw she was just as turned on as he was. Moaning, he pulled her into a tight embrace and started to nibbled and suck on her bottom lip, while his hands smoothed all over her back and then moved up to bury themselves in her hair.

"Derek, oh, wow, you are in a league of your own."

He smiled a little. "Does that mean you could see us together?"

"Just keep kissing me so I can't think too hard."

"But I want you to think real hard, Garcia. Think about how I can't go another minute without knowing you love me back."

"Oh," she said in the cutest tone that told him she was letting her walls crumble "you said that dangerous little four letter word."

"Sweetheart, that four letter word is the only word big enough for what we got going on between us."

She raised her hands and caressed his face. "Handsome hunk, you're trying to seduce me, aren't you?"

"Woman, I'm trying to close the deal in a big way. A real big way. All the things I thought I couldn't say I wanna say to you but its hard, Penelope, to get it out...just know that as soon as you left I fell apart. I was practically walking into walls."

She giggled.

He gave her a quick kiss. "Woman, I can't function without you around."

"You really are sprung, sug."

"I just want you home again." He kissed her softly. "Come home with me, baby girl." Another soft kiss. "New York don't need you like I need you."

She let out a happy sigh. "If I am coming home to kisses like this I think I have all the motivation I need to work quintuple fast when I go in tomorrow."

"It will suck to leave you here." Derek kissed Penelope again as he let his hands run down her back. "Mmmm, I wanna take you home with me right now."

"Ohhhh, I would not put up much of a fight if you went all cave man and dragged me to your liar and kept me there, naked, for a few years...decades...I'm flexible."

He kissed her neck.

She moaned. "So very flexible."

"When I go," he said as he moved to suck on her earlobe "think about me, girl. Think about your man who wants you back home with him." He gave her a stern look. "And no V or no other man for you, got it?"

She giggled and pushed him back, straddling him as he lay on her couch. Penelope ran her nails down Derek's t-shirt clad chest. "This tech kitten can not be tamed."

"Garcia," he growled "it would not be pretty what I'd do to any man I heard about touching you after tonight. So don't make me, woman."

"You jealous, gorgeous, tempting, chocolate sugar bar. I don't know what's going on with you tonight but I think I like it."

"You think? Look at how hard you got me. You know you like that."

She smiled, leaned down and kissed him. He loved the feel of her heavy, warm tits pressed to his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. For this moment she was all his and Derek loved that.

It felt so damn right. Three years were gone but they were years filled with great memories. The next three though...the memories would be so much hotter. He just knew she was gonna be his girlfriend. She might have some doubts about ditching the just friends thing but she kissed him with love.

That little four letter word was made for them. He knew it now and soon so would Penelope.
