FOURTEEN

The Splash On Re-entry

Derek carried Meredith in to the honeymoon suite at the Seattle Grand Harbour Hotel.

As he placed her gently on the floor she exclaimed "Wow" and looked around the room in wonderment, her eyes taking in the rose petal and gently flickering candles.

"It's amazing." said Derek, Meredith turned at the sound and found his gaze directly on her. Looking at her dress. She stared at him, unable to move, feeling the want hot and heavy in the air. She watched him as he kicked the door behind him, and stood there. Eyes on her, filled with heat, eyelids dropping with lust.

Later when thinking back to this night neither would be able to say who moved first, Meredith or Derek. Maybe both of them moved. All they knew was that one moment they were stood a few feet apart and the next she was clinging to his body, lips fused to his.

Her hands reached up his hard chest and pushed his jacket off, his tie already removed in the car on the way to the hotel. The jacket fell to the floor and with reluctance Derek broke the kiss.

"Turn around" he said, his voice laden with desire.

She turned, gathering her hair together in one hand a pulling it to the side. she felt his lips on her neck and moaned, knees weakening as his slowly slid the zipper of her dress down his hand brushing against her back.

She pushed the dress to the floor so if pooled at her feet and stood their naked except for her lace underwear. She turned back to face Derek, and he slipped his arm behind her and undid the clasp of her bra letting it fall. He kicked of his own shoes and socks, pulling himself from his shirt. He undid his trousers and Meredith stepped out of her heels. As soon as he was free he stepped back towards Meredith. She had her arms crossed above her breasts.

"I know." she said. "I'm fat."

Derek shook his head and pulled her arm away from her body, "No you're beautiful" he replied, moving forwards to recapture her lips in a deep caress. He drew his arms around her and lifted her, carrying her to the bed before lowering her gently onto it. He held his own naked body above hers, carefully resting his weight on one arms as his lips moved to her neck. A free hand found a breast and his thumb rolled over her sensitised nipple. Meredith moaned with need as he gently suckled her neck. He moved his hand down her body and touched her between her thighs. He pushed a finger into her finding her wet and ready for him, quickly he removed the digit and replaced it which something much broader. His lips found Meredith's once again as he slid into her, groaning into her open mouth.

He stayed still as his mouth deepened the kiss, tongues battling fiercely against each other.

Meredith felt him filling her so completely, but she need him to move, he slid his hand back to her breast, rubbing and massaging it gently. She nipped his bottom lip, before he finally moved, grinding against her. She met each of his thrusts, moaning, both moving changing the angle so his thrusts would penetrate her all the more deeply. She felt the pressure build, her hands rubbing frantically against his sweat sleeked back. As she felt the wave hit, he pushed himself into her, hard, and joined her on the fall. Stars in her eyes, she felt dazed, they both felt the blast of orgasm ripping through them.

When he had recovered enough he carefully removed himself from her, and lay next to her, their chest heaving.

"I love you Mrs Shepherd" he said, pressing a kiss into her hair.

She turned to face him eyes shining, " I love you too Mr Shepherd."

Derek reached down the bed and pulled the sheets up to cover their sweat soaked naked bodies. He slid behind Meredith, pulling her to his chest.

Meredith fell into sleep with Derek's arms wrapped around her, making her feel entirely safe and loved.
