Meredith laid in Derek's bed. She could now. As long as Thatcher wasn't home, she could do it. Tony never went into anyone else's room. And Sofia already knew about the two of them. It helped. It made their relationship a little better knowing that they could be a little freer. Meredith was feeling more at ease, knowing that every night she could lay in Derek's warm arms and be happy.

"Derek... Der... Hey, Der... Are you asleep?" Meredith asked as she nudged him gently, knowing he was.

"I was." Derek groaned as he looked over at her.

"But you're not now?" She asked as she looked into his blue eyes.

"Well, seeing as I am talking to you... I would say it's safe to say, no I am not sleeping." He said with a chuckle as he kissed her forehead. "What's the matter? Can't you sleep?" He asked with a smile.

"No..." Meredith whined as she rubbed his bare chest.

It was a warm night. They had the french doors to the balcony open and the draperies were floating softly in the breeze. As the cool wind came in, Meredith felt her nipples harden. The moon shown on Derek's skin, radiating a soft glow. That only made her want him more.

"No?" Derek asked as he cocked his head. "And why is that?"

"I'm horny." She told him in a throaty voice as she rolled onto him. "I need sex."

"Do you?" Derek asked as he kissed her chest.

"I do." She said with a nod as she sat on his cock and ground her boy-cut panty clad pussy against him. "So badly." She moaned as she slide her camisole over her head and revealed her bare chest.

"I guess we will have to do something about that." Derek told her frankly as he grabbed a breast in each hand and squeezed gently, thumbing her nipples.

"Like what?" She asked with a giggle as he released her breasts and leaned forward, pulling his shirt over his head. Meredith shimmied her ass down to his knees and pulled his pajama pants down and off.

"You are hard, baby!" Meredith giggled as she rubbed his erect cock.

"For you." Derek said with a smile as he felt her tiny hand run up and down his soft skin.

"I just need it in me." Meredith told him with a big nod as she grabbed a condom out of the drawer and tore to open. "Deep." She added as she rolled it on. "There." She told him with a smile as she slowly sat up and sank down on him. "Oh god... You are so hard. I think you needed this as much as I did." Meredith moaned as she ran her hands over his chest. "You are so big... God... So hard...Thick!"

"Oh..." Derek gasped as he felt her walls wrap around him. Derek grabbed her hard ass firmly with his hands and squeezed tight.

"God, Derek..." She moaned as he leaned up and took a mouthful of her breast.

"Spread your legs farther." Derek told her as he grabbed her thighs and pushed them.

"Okay..." She moaned. "Oh wow..."

"Oh god, babe!" He shouted softly as she pulled up. He slowly stroked her clit with his finger. "You feel good, baby. Perfection...Oh!"

"Oh god... Oh god." She whined as her body reacted to his touch. "Oh...oh... Right there. Please don't stop. Please... Go!"

"There you go..." Derek moaned as her clit turned plump and ripe. "Oh..." He moaned as his cock slid deeper into her.

"Oh... Derek!" She cried out as he fingered her clit faster, while she rode his pole hard. "Oh god... I'm cumming..." She yelped as he continued to thrust into her with force. She was in shock at his sudden haste.

"Cum. Just do it, Mer...Release that cum for me." Derek told her quickly as he stroked her clit again..

"Oh god, Derek. I- I- Oh my... My- God!" She spat as she sat still and and panted.

"Oh god, Mer..." He yelled at her strong contractions against him. "You have to fuck me...Babe. I'm not there yet!" He spat as he thrust into her. She rocker her hips as waves came over and over her. "Fuck... Cum again, Mer..." Derek spat as he stroked her throbbing clit.

"Oh...oh...oh... Der!" She yelled as she flooded him again and continued to rock.

"Here I- Oh!" He yelled as he felt his orgasm coming.

"Oh god..." She yelled as she felt him fill the condom. "Thanks. That should...Suffice."

"Yep." Derek agreed as he rolled her over onto her back and pulled out. He quickly went down and began breathlessly eating her. Meredith moaned at the feelings of his mouth on her wet lips. He smiled when he came up and laid with her. "You know I like to taste you."

"You do." She agreed with a giggle and a nod.

Meredith laid there quietly. It had been on her mind all day. She was hearing people talk when they were out shopping. The university was going back. That meant Derek should be going back. She couldn't help but think she was holding him back from his dreams. He was suppose to be a surgeon. And now he was fucking her and accompanying her to town. This wasn't the way it was meant to be. And it wasn't right.

"Parma goes back soon." Meredith pointed out as she looked over.

"That sounds about right." Derek agreed as he looked into her eyes.

"You should be going." Meredith muttered.

"Don't worry about me, Mer." Derek told her as he kissed her softly. But she did. She really did.

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

Thatcher came home in the afternoon. As much as he cramped her style, today Meredith was very happy to have him back. It helped her mood that she and Derek had a great night, and they woke up in each other's arms. That always made her day. She loved the way it felt when Derek breathed softly into her hair when he was sleeping. And he loved the scent that filled his nostrils as he drifted off to sleep.

Meredith had a plan. She wasn't sure if it would work, but it was worth the try. She needed to make sure that Derek was happy. She needed to make sure that she didn't hold him back. She never slept the night before because she was so focused on her plan. She was so focused on saying just the right things to get what she wanted. And Meredith Grey always got what she wanted. Always.

Meredith walked back and forth in front of her father's office. That was part of her tactic. He had to call her in. It had to be his idea. That was her way of outsmarting him. If he thought it was his idea, he was already in charge. And Thatcher Grey always had to be in charge. Meredith ignored the looks of the help eyeing up her long legs and perfect ass. She just strolled. A conniving, nonchalant stroll.

"Meredith..." Thatcher muttered as he looked up. "Come in here."

The first of the plan was going well. She was in his office and it was her idea. Meredith crept around the desk and gave her father her signature kiss on the cheek. Thatcher smiled as she walked around the desk and sat in the antique leather chair. It was amazing that the leather was still soft. But that was only due to Sofia's excellent care and knowledge of her work. Meredith felt the soft leather on her thighs as she sat back.

"I've missed you. How are you, honey?" He asked as he looked over his reading glasses at her.

"Great daddy. How was Japan... You go there a lot." Meredith said sweetly.

"Japan was great. We have a very big client there." Thatcher explained. "What's on your mind, sweetheart?"

"Nothing, really. I was just wondering..." Meredith trailed off, hooking him in.

Part two of the plan was now in action. She hooked him in. She was sweet and kind. She was letting him know there was something. But she held it. She drew him in. He would be so proud of himself as he drug it out of her. And that left her in control, and him thinking he was.

"What were you wondering darling?" He asked as he looked at her.

"Oh... Nothing really." Meredith lied obviously as she looked away, drawing him in.

"Say it, Meri... What's on your mind?" He pressed, his curiosity killing him.

"Well... I was just wondering when you were going to start looking for a new guard." She said frankly.

"A new guard? Why would I be looking for a new guard? All of the guards are fine." Thatcher told her quickly.

"Not for you, silly. For me." Meredith explained with a giggle.

Part three. She would leave him hanging. She remained silent as she grabbed a book off the desk and began reading it. Now he was at her mercy. He had no idea what she was talking about. And she would let him stew before jumping back into it.

"You?" Thatcher asked in shock. "You have Derek Hanson."

"Oh daddy... You know that Derek will be leaving." Meredith told him as she waved her hand.

"Why would Derek leave?" Thatcher asked with confusion.

"Well, he did say he wanted to go to college. So... I'm sure he will be doing that." Meredith told him with a shrug. "That's good. Derek annoys me anyway. He is always on top of me. I can't get away from him. It's time to find someone else." Meredith told him.

Meredith could barely hold it together. Derek was always on top of her. Well, not always. Last night, she was on top. Last night she was grinding her wet pussy into his thick cock. She had to hold it in. Derek had a way of being on top. And it was not what her father thought.

Now that was part four. Part four was huge. That was the part where she really hooked him in. She put Derek down. Now Thatcher would be thinking of ways to keep Derek no matter what. He didn't want to loose the best guard his daughter ever had. That was exactly what she was hoping for. Now she was on top and staying there. This deal was nearly sealed.

"Oh... I forgot about that little wrinkle." Thatcher explained. He sat there for a second thinking. "Hmm... Well... What do you think about Derek going to Parma?" Thatcher asked. "He could take a few days off during the week, and Tony could take over when he is off."

"No... Derek was going in the U.S. That was his plan, he already had a university picked out, I think. Besides, Parma is far to expensive and he is poor. I guess he will have to go back home. Oh well..." Meredith told him with a sigh.

"Nonsense. Derek is the best addition to our company. He does and excellent job. We can't lose him. Parma is an excellent univeristy. We will make him and offer that he can't refuse. We will make it far too sweet for him to leave." Thatcher said with a nod. "If you see him, send him in."

"Fine." Meredith grumbled with a sigh. "I will."

--

And the plan was in motion. She couldn't believe it. She was fairly certain that she had pulled it off. She made it so that Derek could go to college and stay here with her. It was perfect. She could have the best of both worlds. She could have him, and he could have what he wanted.

Meredith rushed right out. She wasn't going to tell Derek what was going on. She knew him well enough to know that he would put up a fight. He would insist that everything was fine and he was happy. He would put off his dream, to keep her happy. She wasn't going to tell him. She would let her father sabotage him. That was the plan.

As Meredith walked through the entrance, she glanced out the window. He was outside helping the lawn maintenance men with something. His shirt was wet with sweat. It pulled tightly against his muscular chest. She wanted nothing more than to lay him down in front of everyone and fuck his brains out. She seductively strolled up to him, teasing him with her walk.

"Derek." She said softly as she bit her finger. She knew that drove him wild. "Daddy needs to talk to you."

"Your father? Is everything alright?" Derek asked with concern as he looked into her eyes, trying to read them.

"Like I know." She muttered with a shrug as she turned and walked away, adding and extra shake in her ass.

"Wow..." One of the workers said as he looked up. "That is walking sex." He muttered in italian. Derek understood it, but barely.

"Hmm..." Derek muttered, avoiding the conversation completely. "Looks like I have to talk to the boss."

Derek was concerned. Not overly concerned. If it was bad, Meredith would have had panic in her eyes. Her eyes turned hard when she was worried. They were soft. She was in a playful mood. This wasn't a time for him to be terrified for her life. He slowly walked up to the office door. Thatcher waved from his desk for Derek to come it. It was now or never.

"Derek... How are you?" Thatcher asked as he motioned for him to sit down.

"I am fine, sir." Derek said with a nod as he sat down. "And yourself?"

"I am excellent." Thatcher said with a nod. "Now... I have been doing some thinking. And it seems to me that you were speaking about college when you started at this job. Are you still planning on going back?" Thatcher asked as he looked up.

"I am." Derek replied with a nod.

He was. He just wasn't sure when or how. But he was planning on going back. He wanted to live his dream. He wanted to be a successful neurosurgeon. But he wouldn't be doing it anytime soon. There was no way he could leave Meredith. So it was back burner. Back burner until he could figure something out.

"Well, I have an offer to present to you. How would you like to attend The University of Parma?" Thatcher asked with raised eyebrows.

"Oh, well... I don't think I could afford that. And I'm working six days a week." Derek explained as he looked at him.

"We can change that. We need you. I need you. I feel that my daughter is safe when you are around. That is why I am willing to do this... I would like to pay for your education. As long as you are working here, I am willing to pay. You will go to the university the days you need to, and Tony will take over when you are away. Your pay will remain the same, even though you will not be working the same amount of hours. I think you were due to get a raise, anyhow." Thatcher said frankly. "So what do you think?"

"I think it is a very generous offer, Mr. Grey." Derek started.

"But-" Thatcher said, waiting for his response.

"Well, I want to take the offer. But there is something else I want to propose." Derek told him.

"And what is that?" Thatcher asked with intrigue.

"I think Meredith should go too. I know that she wants to get an education. I think she should be able to attend." Derek pointed out. "She would not be in my classes. I am much farther ahead. But I would be willing to go there on her days to guard her."

"My daughter is fine. She doesn't need an education. She is Meredith Grey. She doesn't-" Thatcher started to ramble on.

"With all due respect, Mr. Grey... Meredith does not share anything with me. Your daughter is anything but open. And that was one of the few things she offered to me. I think it is important to her." Derek expressed with just the right amount of pressure to keep the wound from bleeding out.

"Too dangerous. I will not have my daughter in that situation." Thatcher told him quickly.

"I think it would make your daughter very happy. You should consider it." Derek told him with a nod.

Thatcher sat there at his desk. He couldn't wrap his head around it. Meredith in college. He couldn't even see how it could work. How could she sit in class with a group of people who knew who she was. It would never work. They would want to talk to her. they would be taking pictures. She would induce chaos.

Meredith Grey was a pretty girl. All she needed to do was parade around in Gucci and Versace. She didn't need to become a business woman. She needed to be Meredith Grey. She needed to be the girl that intrigued everyone. She couldn't live a common life. And she was never going to be a doctor. Not if Thatcher had anything to do with it.

Thatcher drew in a deep breath. He could do this. He would let her learn. If that's what she wanted, she would get it. She would learn on her own just what it was like. Meredith Grey didn't belong anywhere but in the safety of her own home. And she would find that out. She couldn't hack it. He knew she couldn't

"If Meredith wants to try this out, I am willing. But if it gets dangerous, she is out. Period." Thatcher said firmly. "So what do you say?"

"We have a deal." Derek told him with a nod. Thatcher stuck out his hand and Derek shook it firmly. This was huge.
