He couldn't believe he was doing this, but the time had come

He couldn't believe he was doing this, but the time had come. They had known each other for a month and Derek wanted to move forward with her. Dating was his plan. He had fallen for Meredith and loved Avery like she was his own. They had their sleepovers and Avery stayed with him at the hospital on slow days. It was time. Alex talked Izzie into giving her the night off and Adele took Aves so all Derek had to do was the rest.

"Derek?" she asked in confusion.

"Hey." He smiled anxiously.

"What are you doing here? I tho…" She was cut off with his lips crashing onto hers.

Derek was surprised when her tongue parted his lips and she deepened the kiss. Her fingers gently played with his curls. The gentle sweet kisses continued for a few minutes until it was time to come up for air.

"Wow." She breathed.

"I've wanted to do that for a while."

"I… what does this mean Derek?" Meredith asked biting her lip.

"Mer, I want us to happen. I want to date you. I want a relationship with you…" he said not exactly telling her all the things he wanted.

"You sure want a lot of things." She giggled.

"You're giggling at me." He frowned.

"I'm teasing you, Derek. I want us too." She smiled reaching up and kissing him again.

"Meredith." He breathed.

"Upstairs, please." She whispered in his ear.

Derek gently picked her up and carried her up the stairs. They entered her room and she felt Derek arms sliding over her hips, closing her eyes, she felt his fingers on her shirt buttons. He undid the top button and paused. Meredith drew in a ragged breath. Apparently satisfied, Derek continued unbuttoning her shirt slowly. He lowered his face; his hot breath against her neck, Meredith instantly moved her head up, as she felt the need to be close to him growing.

Meredith's hands reached up to un-tuck her shirt, but Derek grabbed her wrists. Shock waves assaulted both of them at this first contact of their skin. Derek released her and Meredith lowered her arms back to her sides shakily. Gently, Derek tugged at Meredith's shirt until it was no longer confined. He unbuttoned the last button and let the shirt hang on her petite frame.

The next step was irreversible. Derek hesitated. There were so many ways this could go. They needed to think of the consequences.

"Please," Meredith pleaded. It was all the Derek needed to hear as he planted his lips on her shoulder. Gently sucking at her burning skin. Meredith let her head fall against his, her hands holding onto his shirt. Derek moved closer towards her neck, and she couldn't bare the feeling of her hungry lips not being massaged by his.

He slid the shirt over her shoulders and down her arms. When she was free of it, Derek tossed it aside with a casual flick of his wrist and not taking the time to watch it flutter to the floor. Feeling the blood run quicker through his veins, He felt the same need to crash his lips against hers, he moved up her neck, as she lowered her head, her own chin resting on her bare shoulder.

Meredith's legs were trembling when Derek finally pulled her to him. As he guided her head back and brought his lips to hers she felt as though the universe had come to its end. In that first kiss nothing else in the world existed but his lips and hers, his tongue and hers, his need and hers. There was nothing else in the world. There was no air to breathe and no sound to be heard.

Meredith gasped when she felt Derek snake his hands around her waist. In just a moment she felt her back connect with the cold wall, the goose bumps crawled across the flesh on her arms.

"Derek-" she moaned slowly opening her eyes, but was interrupted by Derek hands, on her cheeks. He pressed his hips closer to her, no space left between her and the wall. Meredith raised her head up slightly gasping for air as she wrapped her fingers in his hair. When Derek's breath caressed her neck the desire to be naked was too real to ignore. This was happening. She felt him undo the button on her jeans and then listened as he inched the zipper, lower and lower. When he finally reached its end, he gave it a swift tug and it dropped to the floor. Derek lifted her as she was still pressed against the wall.

He slid his hands around her waist and down to cup the curves of her ass, pulling her body tight against his. She purred into his mouth when he dug his fingers into her waist, wrapping her legs around his waist in response. Meredith dragged her mouth away from his and tightened her legs around his waist, leaning back to look into his eyes. She shivered at the way they had darkened and stared hungrily back at her. She grinned and his face mirrored hers.

He tangled his left hand into her hair and tilted her head back. His other hand leaning against the wall, supporting them both.

Derek, once again, found her green eyes. Unshed tears glistening. He moved his hand to her cheek, his long surgeon fingers, caressing the space just beneath her eyes, taking excellent care of her face. She couldn't possibly put into words how she was feeling and so she reassured him the only way she knew how.

She clasped her hands behind his neck and dragged his mouth to hers, crushing his lips in a fierce kiss. Meredith yanked his t-shirt over his head roughly as he walked them towards the bed. She grinned against his mouth.

"You okay?" he asked softly, the longing and passion tone in his voice, mixed with care and love.

Derek sat Meredith down on the bed. Her legs caught his hips as her feet tugged on his boxers. He quickly made his way towards her bra, which fell down on the ground, directly followed by her black lacy panties. Meredith eagerly grabbed his hips and pushed them between her open legs. She grabbed his cock and positioned him at her now throbbing core. Allowing only the head to enter her, she stopped. Grasping his large hands in her small ones, Meredith looked into his eyes.

His hands were joined with hers, their fingers intertwined. Finally, he met her eyes. Derek was amazed by what he found there. He'd know for a long time he had a certain affect on Meredith, he'd know for a while that she had feelings for him, and he had known forever that he loved her. And as he was starring into her eyes, he had known for just now, that she felt the same way. With just the same depth, just the same intensity and passion.

When he'd finished letting the conclusion, that this was the real thing, sink in. He leaned in close and kissed her deeply. Meredith's legs tightened around him and he could feel her hips rock against him. He could feel the warmth of her body and shuddered. They fell in a slow, torturous rhythm, neither one willing to give up an ounce of control. She softly whispered his name in his ear.

Meredith tingled with pleasure as each thrust of Derek's hips brought her closer to her climax. As Derek's hands ran up her abdomen to her breasts Meredith felt as though someone were pouring liquid fire over her skin. Everywhere their skin touched could well have burst into flames. Cupping the back of his neck, she pushed his jaw up with her thumbs and took his mouth with hers. When he brushed his fingers across her nipples she could no longer hold in a cry of ecstasy. He grabbed curls of her hair in between his fingers, needing something to hold on to. She pushed herself harder against him and took his earlobe between her lips.

Derek shivered when Meredith's hot breath panted in his ear. She sucked on his earlobe for a minute and then moved slowly down his neck, searching for a spot that would get her a reaction. It wasn't long before she'd found one, an inch or so of skin just below his hairline that forced a groan out from between his lips. He could feel her lips grin against his skin.

She lifted herself up and then lowered herself back down again hard. When he was as deep as she could take him, she flexed and suckled that spot on his neck at once. Derek growled and then grasped her hips and pulled her high up on his thighs until her legs parted around his waist.

The ache between her legs was unbearable. The need to feel him inside of her was like a drug and she needed a hit. When he moved himself out of her way once more, he looked her straight in the eyes and as if she felt his, she opened her own. Directly staring into each other's eyes as they gave into their needs and he pushed himself into her with one smooth thrust.

Her back arched and she hung her head down as the cry of pleasure was torn from her throat. She felt one hand tighten on her hip and the other grip the edge of the bed as he pushed harder. She gripped the length of him within her tight body and he growled, burying his mouth against the back of her neck. His body burned as he pushed himself into her again and again. He could hear her whimpers and moans of pleasure, her body tightening around him, and he groaned louder against her neck.

Meredith clenched her eyes tight. Her cries of pleasure left her throat and filled the room. He wound one hand in her hair and tugged her head back to expose her neck. His mouth latched onto her pulse and she shuddered.

He smiled at her whimper when he pulled out of her tight body. Meredith looked up at him, her eyes clouded with need. Derek leaned over her and took her mouth in a passionate kiss even as he moved between her legs and thrust himself back into her depths. His hands gripped at her hips and pulled her tight against him.

Her breath soon came in gasps, her cries growing harsh and strained. Derek laid his hands on either side of her head holding himself up just enough to stare down at her as her body rocked beneath him, matching his thrusts. Her legs curled around the back of his and she pulled herself harder against him, her fingers twisting into the sheet beneath her, trying to anchor herself as she felt the trembles begin to tear through her body.

The slow curl of release took over her, as he thrust harder into her, hearing the cry come faster with each thrust. His body tightened unbearably and he rolled over onto his back and pulled her atop him, pushing his hips up into her. Meredith tipped her head back, her fingers clenching around the headboard of the bed as Derek kept up his pace. She trembled above him, her heart pounding in her chest.

Derek clenched his jaw and thrust up one last time before pulled her tightly against him. His body stiffened as he filled her, his fingers gripping her hips ruthlessly as the tautness within him snapped and he cried her name in his release. His body jerked and his eyes fluttered shut for a moment, savoring the pleasure of it. Sliding his hands up from Meredith's hips, he cupped the back of her neck and tugged her down to take her mouth in a gentle kiss before she laid her head against his shoulder.

Meredith laid against his damp chest, her body still trembling as she held him within her. She shifted on him a few moments later and sat up a little and smirked at him. "All the wants paid off?"

Derek let out a breathless laugh as he buried his face in her hair and planted a kiss against her neck. "We're in this?" He whispered closing his eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

"We are." she finally whispered back, and felt him smile sleepily. "I promise." She whispered.
