Chapter 2

It had been a long night for both Meredith and Derek. After dinner with Izzie and George they had returned upstairs and before making love they had a "serious and long overdue chat" as Derek had described it. They had had to sit facing each other at either ends of the bed to stop themselves getting distracted. Derek had started by telling her all about what had happened between him and Addison, before again apologizing for not telling her earlier. She however would not let him, saying they where way past all that and she "Now wanted to focus on the future, their future. Together". When all had been discussed at length, he finally let her crawl towards him and they determined that it was highly unlikely that George and Izzie where going to get much sleep that night.

A few nights later…

Derek stood in the surgeons call room with the door slightly ajar hoping to find an empty cot to collapse into-hoping to get a few hours sleep before his next shift was set to begin. He had been held up back as a patient he had operated on earlier started to hemorrhage and he was required to stay back until she stabilized, just incase further surgery was required. As his eyes surveyed the small room, he found it was empty apart from one cot in the back corner which had a tussle of dark-blonde hair pocking out of the pale blue sheets. He opened the door a little more, just to make sure his eyes weren't deceiving him. He then quietly shut the door behind him and tiptoed over to her. After kicking off his shoes he sat down on the side of the cot, it creaked at his added weight, and she was startled awake.

"Hey" he said, leaning down to kiss her forehead. "This is a nice surprise"

She was disorientated until his wet kiss landed on her forehead, she smiled at the realization that he had found her. "Hi" she smiled, entwining her fingers behind his neck and pulling him down for another kiss. "I couldn't sleep" she said rubbing her eyes awake, as they adjusted to the darkness of the room, "something was missing from my bed at home, can't think what though" she teased.

As he maneuvered himself to hover over her, propping himself on his elbows and tips of his toes, he smiled against her lips before deeply kissing her. As there tongues danced, she let out a small moan of satisfaction, causing his knee's to quake. He collapsed on top of her, enjoying her warmth as she stretched out beneath him and let her fingers tangle in his hair.

"This feels better" she mumbled into his ear as he moved to kiss her jaw. She lowered her hands down his sides and reached between their bodies, he gasped as he felt her slide her hand into his scrubs and clasp her fingers around him tightly. In response he lent down and nipped at her neck. As one hand started to rub him up and down in long slow motions, she brought her other hand up to his chin pulling his face down to hers-enjoying feeling his excitement increasing.

Knowing he was the only surgeon on call tonight from this floor he preyed they wouldn't be disturbed, he hadn't told anyone where he was going so hoped they tried his pager before looking for him. Although a lot of people knew that he and Meredith had been together, before his wife showed up, only Izzie and George knew they had gotten back together the other night and he liked it that way- it meant he could be with her without others judging them. With this in mind he pulled out of her kiss and sat up, still straddling her with his legs. He laughed when he saw her response, a long sad face appeared as she removed her hand from his scrubs and brought her arms together, folding them across her chest.

"Why not?" she pouted at him.

"Because I don't fancy being caught by Bailey" he sighed.

"She's not here. I checked!" she replied with speed. "I wore your favourite…" she added while batting her eyes at him, with a devilish grin on her face. He could no longer resist, "Ok, but only because you put so much effort into it" he replied leaning in to resume their kiss.

He began to work his mouth down her neck towards her stomach, as his hands reached under the sheet and lifted her top over her head. Once her top had been discarded to the floor he sat up and took in a sharp breath, realizing that by favourite she meant her see-through indigo lace bra. He grinned, struggling to remove the sheet that was separating them, once free of it he laid a row of tiny kisses along each collar bone before arriving at her mouth where he took his time to show his appreciation. He pulled her into a sitting position and unclasped the bra before laying her back down and removing it. Dragging his fingers away from her breasts he started to work on her jeans, and growing impatient she helped him, their fingers tangling until finally she was clear of them.

He gazed down at the creature below him; questioning why he was the one she made the effort for. "Beautiful" he gasped, as he took in the full scope of her. He laughed as his eyes fell to her panties, black boy-legs with a picture of Elmo on them. "Well this will not do!" He joked, pretending to get off her before gathering her in his arms and rolling onto his back. Kissing her hard and pulling her tight against his body.

"Wash day" she said seriously, when their lips parted. She then helped him remove his scrubs, both laughing wildly when neither could get the knot undone on his pants, the anticipation only exciting him more. As he removed her "naughty knickers" as he described them he kissed her on the stomach before moving to her breasts, each nipple equally aroused by the touch of his mouth. He teased her breathing hot breaths over them until she arched, forcing one into his mouth. He ran his fingers around her inner thighs before slowly dipping his hand into her to test her readiness. He found her plump and moist. As he moved to enter her, she moaned as he rubbed hard against her clit. Propping against his arms he began to drive in and out of her as she brought her legs around him deepening his influence.

She bit hard into his shoulder to muffle her moans as she came and he moved to use her mouth to stifle his groan as he felt himself nearing the edge. She enjoyed feeling him come between her legs and in her mouth, his tongue tensing as he reached a climax and then returning seconds later to languidly kiss her again.

They where silent for a long time just enjoying their time together in the dark recess of the hospital. "Hmmm" she finally mused as he brought his head out of the crook in her neck.

"Hmm" he replied smiling back at her, finally pulling out of her. She untied herself form him and moved to redress. "What time do you start?" he questioned.

"Ten minutes" she replied looking at her watch and handing him his pants then pulling her bag out from where it had been tucked under the bed. Placing it next to her she proceeded to brush her hair, while watching him pull on the bottom half of his scrubs on under the sheets.

The door creaked, before opening hurriedly. "Bailey" Meredith almost squealed as Derek shielded his eyes from the sudden increase in light.

"What's going on in here?" She replied, stepping inside the room and closing the door behind her as quickly as she had opened it.

"We were…"

"I was just…" They both started at the same time.

"Stop" she yelled, holding up a hand. "I don't actually want to know!"

Meanwhile Meredith and Derek were both looking at her wearily as she scanned her eyes over them and the rest of the room. "We'll finish our talk later" Meredith started looking sharply at Derek. Who picked up her queue and replied,

"Please think about what I said Meh" adding affect by giving his best puppy-eyed-look. Meredith sighed, looked straight at Bailey and said "Oh, I better get going, I'm going to be late" and with that she stood up and walked towards the door, holding it open for Bailey.

After surveying the room once again and noticing both where dressed, with Meredith looking quite presentable and ready for work and Derek looking groggy, she concluded that nothing suss was in-fact happening.

"I think we better let him sleep" Meredith whispered "he has already had me in his ear for the last hour or so and he starts soon" Bailey actually started feeling sorry for him as she turned and walked out the door. As Meredith followed suit she turned pocking her tongue out at Derek before closing the door behind her.

He sunk back into the pillow deciding that in future they left their expeditions for home.
