A/N : yay! she says she wrote this for me. Hehehe. P And well, this is by Raven (vinh). Love her! And I think, she's just so right about Derek in here...
Derek looked up as the hotel room door opened. It just after midnight and after attempting to sleep without Addison nearby he was sprawled out on the couch with a bottle of scotch watching some late night horror movie. He would never admit to her that he was waiting for her before going to bed. He watched as his wife dropped her briefcase, coat and shoes before she had even taken three steps into the room.
"I thought you'd be sleeping," Addison said as sat down next to him and began to pull off her thigh highs and unzipping her skirt.
Derek was distracted by Addison's long creamy legs. He had always been fascinated by her legs, especially when they were wrapped around him. He had always considered himself a boob man until he met Addison. Then he became an Addison man because what wasn't there to love about the whole package that made up Addison.
"I couldn't sleep," Derek managed to ask when his mind started working again, "Umm...Long night?"
"Yeah," Addison replied as she pulled off her shirt over her head before snuggling into her husband's side, "I was in the parking lot here at the hotel when I got beeped back."
"Oh," Derek replied as he attempted to get his attention back on the movie and not on his wife's legs and how her bra just clung to her breasts like a second skin.
"Derek?" Addison whispered, "I don't have anymore patients. I don't have a reason to stay much longer."
Derek couldn't help the pang he felt in his heart at her words. He knew she was asking him if there was a reason for her to stay longer. He responded by pressing a kiss to her head, as he pondered the implications of giving her a reason.
When Derek looked over at Addison a few minutes later she was sound asleep. He placed his glass of scotch down before he shifted around so that he could pick her up. He gently eased her down onto the bed. He paused to brush a hair out of her eyes before he crawled into the bed next to her. . In spite of the fact that she had hurt him, his arms still ached for her. He loved this part of the night the best when Addison had already drifted off and he could just watch her sleep and wrap his arms around her like he wanted to do so many times during the day. But couldn't because it was complicated
The sound of the shower running woke Derek from a sound sleep. His hand instinctively reached for Addison before he remembered that he was mad at her and that she was an adulteress bitch. He lay in bed a few more minutes trying to regain his composure for the day because last night he remembered just how sweet and wonderful it could be with Addison if he could only let go of his anger. He was letting her into his heart again and that scared him but at the same time he wasn't ready to let her go. He hadn't gotten this much restful sleep since he had left her.
He stumbled into the bathroom and was confronted with the sight of Addison wearing only a pair of panties and a bra as she put on her makeup. Smirking he pressed against her back as his hand came up to affectionately rub her stomach.
"Good morning," Derek mumbled as he dropped a kiss on her bare shoulder before trailing kissed up her neck.
"Derek," Addison said as she tilted her head to the side giving him better access, "We don't have time for this. We have to be at work in 45 minutes. And I still have to do my hair."
"We have time," Derek said as he unhooked her bra, "Just pin your hair up in that bun that I like so much."
"Fine," Addison agreed smirking when she heard the rustling of clothes being dropped before she turned in her husband's embrace and leaning up to meet his lips. It wasn't long before they realized that the towel rack really wasn't strong enough for any kind of bracing.
Twenty minutes later a frantic Addison was in the bathroom quickly twisting her hair into a bun as Derek took his time tying his tie. He waited patiently by the door for Addison. A few seconds later she rushed out of the bathroom and he helped his wife into her coat before grabbing both their briefcases and closing the door behind them. The elevator ride down was spent with Addison attempting to add the loose pieces into her bun.
Derek smiled before stilling her hands and said, "You're beautiful no matter what you do," before kissing her gently his hand sliding down to caress her backside. The kiss quickly turned more heated, they reluctantly parted when the elevator doors opened. The look in his eyes made her tingle in all the right places. They separated in the parking lot, Derek pulling Addison in for one last heated kiss before passing over her briefcase.
Derek smiled as he watched Addison pull out and head for the hospital. The smile dropped from his face as he realized that Addison had already made it past all his defenses and was firmly guarded in his heart. He couldn't pin point the exact time when she had done it. Maybe it was everything that had happened. Maybe it was because she was Addison his best friend and the love of his life no matter how much he denied it.
