A/N: Didn't like Derek's move last chapter? I actually enjoyed it... (sorry Addex lovers) but don't count out Alex

PS: All of my Addek fans came out in drones to declare they wanted Addek and my Addex lovers were pretty
quiet...I just want to know your thoughts:)

"So you think I need to lay off the sex with Addison?" Alex looked like he would cry but Izzie just grinned and nodded, "If you want to prove that the relationship between you and Addison is more than just sex then you need to be prepared to play dirty and that means holding off until you are sure that she is really committed to just you and that can help prove your case with her without speaking."

Alex banged his head against the supply closet in disbelief, "But Izzie that's the best part of our relationship. Even when we were having problems talking or just communicating, I always would pull her into my arms and every thing else…,"

Izzie cleared her throat to interrupt, "I really don't need to hear the details of your sex life with Satan please."

Alex scowled, "She's not really Satan and I wish you wouldn't call her that anymore."

Izzie smiled, "Okay no more Satan, it's kinda grown old seeing as how she's been nothing but nice to me."

Alex smirked, "On second thought Satan might be a good nickname for her, she's a devil in," Izzie grimaced, "Okay TMI Alex, TMI. I get it, she's good god but did you need to fill my head with those images? Look, I'm serious about this though Alex you have to show her that you're serious about making this relationship work."

Alex exhaled softly, "Okay no sex, what else? I mean what is Shepherd going to be doing while I'm holding off of the sex with Addison? Is he going to be holding back sex too?"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Hate. I hate you. I hate you with a passion that knows no bounds Shepherd. Forty-five minutes strapped in your lap with no way out and Richard smirking at me the whole time not to mention how Sloan was looking at me. I thought you wanted to be friends, friends don't do that. Friend's don't do that."

Derek fought to hide the smirk that was threatening to erupt from his face. He knew that it wouldn't have affected her as much if she was completely immune to his efforts although she had given him a taste of his own medicine as moments during the meeting, especially when he was called on to speak she would wiggle suggestively against his lap but he had met that back with proof that he still wanted her.

"Addison, what's the problem? You and I are friends, what's wrong with sharing a chair?"

Callie and Miranda were following behind them bemused at their interaction and Addison turned to her girlfriends in disbelief, "Do you believe this man? I mean really Miranda, now you know how completely inappropriate that was."

Miranda nodded and said, "It was completely inappropriate but don't lie girl. You know you enjoyed every minute of it."

Derek, Callie and Miranda had the pleasure of watching a blush suffuse her face as she started stalking down the hall in rage, "Have all of my friends lost their ever loving minds? I hate all of you now."

Derek turned to Miranda with a smile, "Thanks I needed someone to back me up."

Miranda smile fell from her face as she stared him down, "Don't be fooled, I still think you're an idiot and she's better off trying a relationship with Karev but I still like to see her get flustered every once in awhile. She needs it but you don't deserve her back and I've already voiced my opinion on the matter."

Derek scowled as Callie and Miranda walked off and he turned back to the elevators. Great, just great two more people against him is exactly what he didn't need.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Addison Montgomery was horny and she hated being horny and at work. It was one of the worst predicament she found herself in when she and Derek had been first married and working under Richard. When she had this predicament she would always find an empty on-call room and sex Derek until they were both too exhausted to answer their pagers.

She wasn't talking to her ex-husband at the moment and was currently in a relationship with Alex Karev. And Alex was currently in a surgery that ended in five minutes. She didn't know if she could wait that long, she didn't if she could wait five seconds. Sitting on Derek's lap, feeling him so close to where he used to be was not something she needed a reminder of and not at 10 in the morning with no end to her day in sight.

A voice cleared their throat from behind her and she spun around in question, "Alex?"

Alex smiled at the object of his thoughts as she looked at him with a familiar glare in her eye and Alex felt his resolve weaken but he tried to focus on Izzie's voice in his head about abstinence. "Dr. Karev please meet me in the supply closet in ten minutes," Addison leaned forward as she sensuously rubbed her chest against his, "and don't keep me waiting."

Alex swore as he watched her walk away her hips swaying invitingly. He reached for the phone and paged Izzie '911'.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Mark smirked at his one time best friend from across the counter, "Nice move in the meeting. It looked like something, I would do. Maybe I'm finally rubbing off on you."

Derek rolled his eyes, "Don't press your luck, I was just testing out the waters because, I was successful in getting Addison the first time I just have to believe that I'll be successful this time."

Mark scowled at his cockiness and said "Well did you stop to think of something?"

Derek closed his chart and placed his pen back in his pocket and, "Think of what? I told her this morning that I wanted to start off as friends but I wanted her to remember that I'm still there for her as a lover, I think I have my bases pretty much covered."

Mark fell in step with him and chuckled, "You were always so cocky; it was one of your downfalls. Derek, did you ever stop to think that if you got Addison all hot and bothered, that you've just sent her running directly into Alex's arms? The one place that you don't want her to be."

Derek stopped mid step as he realized his mistake and turned to Mark with a growl and said "I gotta go."

Mark started laughing as he watched his friend run down the hall, and he had to admit, that part of him hoped that he wasn't too late.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Addison checked her watch and groaned, Alex was two minutes late and usually he was never late. He just hoped that Mark hadn't sent him on some godforsaken errand.

The door opened and she smiled in relief as Alex closed the door and turned to her. She had never considered herself to be a sexual aggressor but desperate times….call for taking the lead. She pulled him into her arms and latched her mouth onto his and shoved her tongue down his throat as she struggled for intimacy.

Alex wasn't too far behind as he pushed her against the door and started reaching for her lab coat to remove it when Addison moaned from beneath him as she reached for his scrubs bottoms.

Alex stilled her hands as he gulped in a deep breath and stepped back. Addison looked at him in confusion, "Come on Alex, I only have a few minutes left before I have to be in surgery…"

Alex swore as he looked at her kiss swollen lips and felt rage at Derek Shepherd for interrupting what was arguably the best partner he had ever had. He leaned against the opposite wall and said "Addison, what's going on? Why the aggression all of a sudden?"

Addison closed her eyes as she jerked back on her lab coat, "I just wanted to be close to you but as I see that you are in your Dr. Phil mode, I'll leave you alone." She reached for the handle on the door to open when Alex cleared his throat from behind her, "Addison, please it's the least I deserve. You know better than anyone, that I have never turned down your sexual advances before but I also have never been jumped like this before. What's going on?"

Addison turned around and looked at him sitting across from her and felt the shame rush through her, "Alex, I'm sorry. I think I need to go home, I'm hurting you and Derek is…."

Alex got up and pulled her back into his arms as he cut off her words with the pressure of his mouth. He kissed her breathless and then pulled back, "Addison, don't say Derek's name while you have me in the supply closet."

Addison nodded as she laid her head down on his beating heart, "I'm sorry Alex. What do you say I make you dinner tonight to make up for trying to assault you in the supply closet?"

Alex pulled back as he looked into her vulnerable eyes and couldn't help himself he drew her back into his arms for one more kiss. One more kiss, he promised himself.

Just one more.

He was still saying one more when he straightened his scrub top and walked out of the supply closet a happy man.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Izzie groaned as she saw Alex coming towards with a guilty look on her face, "Really? I thought you were going to be able to last longer than 2 hours. What did she have to say in the supply closet that had you give up the abstinence pact so shortly after you made it?"

Alex flinched, "Izzie, I tried. I walked into the supply closet determined to be there for her emotionally and not sexually but then she did the thing with her tongue and….,"

Izzie stuck out her tongue at him in disgust, "Please enough with the details. So needless to say you didn't hold off on sex."

Alex shrugged, "We are going to talk tonight. I'm going to mention the abstinence and see what happens. I don't know what happened with Shepherd but she was certainly amorous in the closet."

Derek scowled as he came up behind him and said "Have you seen Addison?"

Alex smirked at his rival as he felt the ring of his page, "I think I saw her on the floor somewhere, you can check the supply closet. Oh and thanks, Shepherd. I owe you one."

Izzie chuckled as she hurried down the hall hesitant to provoke Derek's anger as she scurried away.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Addison exhaled slowly as she sat down at the lunch table, a chicken salad in front of her and a fruit bowl she had got from the cafeteria. She didn't know if she was going to make it through the rest of the day in between Alex and Derek.

Alex was a sweetheart and she didn't want to hurt him, which is why she was determined to make up for almost attacking him in the closet by fixing him a nice dinner. Maybe, they would even have time to test out the new Jacuzzi tub in her bathroom.

Derek Shepherd was another story altogether, he was her ex-husband who had suddenly decided he didn't want to be ex anymore. A couple of months ago, her heart would've leapt out of her chest to be first in his life again but now it didn't hold the same desire. She would always, always love Derek Shepherd for everything they had been to each other but she couldn't trust him which was the sad part. She didn't know how long his obsession with her would last but she hoped it would be over soon.

Her thoughts were jolted as Derek pulled out the chair across from her and slumped into the chair and looked at her with a grimace, "It backfired on me didn't it?"

Addison looked at him confusion, knowing what he meant but refused to give him the benefit of telling it to him, "What do you mean friend? What backfired on you?"

Derek waved his hand in front of her, "You had sex I can see the look in your eyes."

Addison scowled, "That's none of your business. We are supposed to be friends in case you forgot our conversation of this morning so it doesn't matter who or what I do."

Derek leaned forward, "You always walked around with that smile after we would have sex in one of the on-call rooms."

He slumped back and said "I'm not going to win this battle am I?"

Addison exhaled softly, "What battle Derek? There is no battle, we got divorced and apparently last week you ate some poisonous mushrooms that went to your head and has you believing that you want me back. I'm just waiting for the effects of the drug to wear off for you to go back to ignoring me."

She stood up and Derek held her wrist in her hand and looked at her with pleading eyes, "Please Addi, sit."

Addison sighed and sat down, "What Derek? What."

Derek cleared his throat, "I'm serious, I want to win you back but I'm not going to be able to compete if you're having sex with Alex in the supply closet. Why don't you try dating us both?"

Addison snorted, "Who do you think I am? I'm not Meredith if that's what you're hoping for, I don't need to date men in pairs to know which one I want, I made my choice and I told you pretty clearly that it's Alex and there's nothing….."

Derek cut her off, "We kissed in that on-call room yesterday and contrary to what your mouth is saying, your body still wants me and I may be crazy but I think your heart wants me as well. I just want a fair chance to win you back."

Addison closed her mouth as she couldn't find in herself to deny the truth in his words, her heart still wanted him even if it had been beaten and bruised by him it still wanted him. Addison closed her eyes and exhaled trying to regain her sense of balance. She opened her eyes again and as she looked into Derek's eyes she couldn't deny herself, she still loved him and it wasn't fair to Alex to try to start a relationship with him if she still felt anything for Derek, anything at all.

Addison exhaled noisily, "Derek, I don't know what you want me to say. You want me to pretend like we haven't both hurt each other a lot and forget that I'm trying to move on, without you. It's probably one of the healthiest moves I've made in decades and you want me to backpedal and fall back into your arms again where I lose myself. I don't know why you would think I would be happy to do that?"

Derek sighed, "Lose yourself? What about the good times you lost yourself in my arms? When you were so deliriously in love that you couldn't walk straight? Where you couldn't make a move until you knew how it would affect me and our family? Where is that losing?"

Addison smiled sadly, "I like how you choose to only remember the good times that I lost myself in you. How about when I begged you to hold my hand when I lost Erica, the one who was always there for me? The tears I cried begging you to hear that I needed you but a neurology convention in Dallas was more important than holding my hand, I really lost myself there and you ask like it should be given to you so freely."

Derek growled, "So then that's it, you walk away and move on and don't even give me a chance to make up for my mistakes? I don't think that's fair."

Addison grabbed her leftovers and stood up, "Fine Derek. You have what you want, I will think about it. I will think about giving you a chance but you stop with the touchy-feely."

Derek smirked as he stood up, "Touch-feely? I'll stop with the touch-feely if you stop sleeping with Alex."

Addison rolled her eyes as she stalked off.
