"So, are you still mad at me? I hope so, because it's all kinds of hot."

Derek stood behind Meredith on the upper deck of the ferryboat, his arms around her waist as they watched the skyline float by. He leaned in and nudged her hair away from her neck and inhaled deeply. The smell of lavender and seaspray was intoxicating.

"Very funny. Don't tease me - you know I'm a sore loser. A sore and frustrated loser."

"Hmmmmm. Well, I have to admit that your antics today have made me a bit of a sore winner – you aren't the only one who walked around frustrated today, you know." He nibbled at her collarbone and felt her shiver.

She turned around to face him, leaning back on the railing. She opened up his jacket and slid her arms around his hips.

"So, have you figured out how you are collecting your bet? Or are you still torturing me?"

"Oh, you'll find out. Keeping you in the dark is definitely improving my victory. So I think you'll just have to wait until we get home."

"Well, I had you pegged for expecting some ferryboat action, given your fetish for these things. Not feeling adventurous, Dr. Shepherd?"

"Fetish?! Ah, well, while tempting, I don't want to traumatize the other passengers." He leaned in and nipped at her earlobe. "Because what I have planned for you? Is going to wake Izzie and George from miles away."


Author's Notes: Thanks for all of the great feedback! This is my first attempt at this kind of writing, so I need your encouragement! The last chapter should be up in the next day or two...


Hey everyone, be sure to check out my second attempt at Mer/Der fic, Six Days - the first chapter should be posted soon. It's my take on what should have happened to our favorite couple instead of snoring and bad breath
