She isn't sure how long she has been staring at the words on the page, just that they have suddenly started to blur. The letters no longer look defined, but like pools of ink that have spilled sloppily across the blank page. The surgery isn't for another five hours,

Her eyes continue to grow heavier until darkness surrounds her. Her dreams are painted with visions of dark hair, glistening skin, and tangled sheets. She can feel the pleasure radiating through her body as a moan escapes her.

"Meredith?" she hears his voice call out as if he is in some distant land.

She groans some incomprehensible response.

"Mer?" he tries again, this time placing a hand on her shoulder and shaking her gently.

Her eyes slowly blink open and immediately clash with his amused blues. "Hey," he says in an amused tone as he tries to suppress the chuckle that is bubbling inside.

She jerks up, a horrified expression crossing her face as she wipes the drool off of the side of her face. "How long have I been out?" she asks in a panicked voice.

Chuckling, he responds, "I'm not sure. Surgery is in an hour."

Her hands move to cover her mouth. "I've been out for four hours! Oh my God!" she groans as she allows her head to fall forward onto the table in front of her.

Derek chuckles as he leans in closer to her, his eyes scanning the room to once again make sure they are alone. "So, what were you dreaming about?" he asks with a smirk.

Meredith opens her mouth a couple of times, her color flushing even more as she looks at him. "Why?" she finally manages to ask.

He brings his mouth near to her ear and whispers "Well, I was just hoping it was me from the sexy noises you were making."

His breath tantalizes her ear as she her lungs struggle to get enough oxygen. She feels the sudden urge to turn and kiss him, before flinging him onto the table and taking him right there.

"No!" she says loudly as she suddenly jumps up.

"What?" he asks in amusement.

"I am not having sex with you!" she says vehemently as she points at him with her finger.

He smirks as he stands up, his form towering over hers. "Did I ask you to have sex with me? All I asked was if you were dreaming about having sex with me…" he says as he inches closer to her. "Unless, of course, you want to have sex with me," he finishes as he backs her up against the table.

Meredith's eyes involuntarily travel down to his lips as she licks her own. She finds herself leaning into him, searching for the comfort of his touch. The oxygen around them is highly flammable as they are both sending off numerous charges.

BEEP BEEP BEEP

"Shit!" Derek curses as he looks down at his pager and Meredith immediately retreats.

He smiles regretfully at her. "It's Katie. She's ready for surgery," he states simply in a frustrated tone.

He straightens up and looks down at the flustered Meredith. "Are you ready?" he asks in a challenging tone as he wiggles his eyebrows playfully at her.

She smirks at him. "I was born ready," she states simply before walking past him and leaving him alone in the room.

Derek shakes his head before following behind her. This would definitely be one interesting surgery.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The tension in the air is impenetrable. The intruders, the nurses and other members of staff in the room, can feel it. They just do not know from where it is originating. But they can feel it. They can feel their own sexual tension building just from breathing it in, just from basking in it—a simple contact high. That contact high which screams sex.

She stands up on her tippy toes at the back of the room, trying to get a look at the surgery as Derek begins to remove the skull cap. The room is full. It is his first surgery and everyone is anxious to see the young hot shot in action.

Her fingernails digging into his back as his body began to shake involuntarily. Now that was action.

A small smirk causes the corner of her lip to upturn in a smile, a smile that screams of secretive escapades.

"Dr. Grey?" his deep voice calls out through the crowded room, causing her to jump as if caught with her hand in the cookie jar.

She is forced to regain her balance before she can answer him. "Yes, Dr. Shepherd?" she finally manages in the most professional tone possible.

"Come here," he commands her in a domineering voice that only heightens the sensitivity of her core.

"Seriously?" she asks as she raises a single eyebrow.

His chuckle resounds throughout the operating room as he takes his eyes away from the exposed brain and glances at her, his smile evident even though it is covered by his surgical mask.

"Seriously," he responds in an amused voice.

Meredith slowly pushes her way through the crowd, her legs slightly wobbly from the numerous emotions coursing through her body. When she finally reaches him, his eyes are looking through the microscope as he makes his way through Katie's brain. She can't help but think of how much he has invaded and scrambled her brain in the past several hours.

He takes his eyes away for a moment and smiles at her, encouraging her to look through the microscope opposite of his. As they both search together for that tiny imperfection, a storm brews inside both of them. A storm that erupts when the find their one in a million aneurysm and Derek expertly clips it. They have captured their one in a million, but the question is…how long will they hold on to it before it ruptures in their hands?
