Away
Derek and Addison were finally in the car heading to the Hampton's for their first weekend away since they had come back to New York. They were going alone for the first time in a long time. In the past, Mark had frequently joined them but this time he was going to be working all weekend. Derek loved his best friend dearly, but he needed time with his wife. He still felt as though he had a lot to make up for. Addison loved Mark too, but she was looking forward to having the Hampton's house to themselves without Mark and his flavor of the week around.
Addison had forgotten how much she loved Derek touching her body. The sex marathon a few weeks ago had been the first reminder of how sexy she felt when he desired her and when he touched her. Addison was looking forward to sex with her husband at the Hampton's. Addison smiled at Derek and he took his eyes off the road to smile back at her. Addison wanted to get to the house safely so as much as she loved it when Derek smiled at her, she wanted him to keep his eyes on the road.
It had been a long time since Derek had been to the Hampton's with Addison. The last two vacations that Addison had taken at the Hampton's she had been accompanied by Mark because Derek couldn't or wouldn't take time off to join Addison at the Hampton's. Knowing how close he came to losing her for good, had made Derek rethink his priorities. Addison was now at the top of his priorities. Second was his friends who he had been neglecting for several years and lastly was his job. He had given it a lot of thought and as much as he wanted to be the best neurosurgeon in the world, he would rather have his wife and friends than have his job and no wife or friends. He noticed how relaxed Addison was and he was glad for that. They both needed some relaxing time together away from the city and the Hampton's had been that in the past and he had no doubt that the Hampton's would be that for them again.
"Your mother hates me, you know." Addison remarked. She knew for a fact that Carolyn Shepherd did not like her. Addison had known for a long time and they had both learned to fake it in front of Derek and the rest of the Shepherd family.
"She loves you Addie, don't be silly." Derek reassured her. Of course he knew that his mother had planned to give him her engagement ring when he got engaged, but she never thought Addison was worthy of it. Derek was almost positive that Carolyn Shepherd would offer it to Mark to give to Brianna when and if the time ever came.
"Derek, be honest with me. You owe me that." Addison told him. Her temper was beginning to rise as it always did when she knew she was being lied to. She was tired of being lied to about the Shepherd matriarch's true feelings about her.
"Okay, fine she hates you." Derek told Addison. He hated telling her that, but Addison deserved the truth and Derek didn't want to hide things anymore.
"Thank you." Addison told Derek quietly. She didn't love knowing that her mother in law hated her, but she knew that Bizzy hated Derek so it was kind of even. Plus she knew that Archer and Derek disliked each other intensely. She would never admit it to Derek but the Montgomery family had wanted her to marry into the wealthy Sloan family from the moment Bizzy and the Captain had met Mark's parents at some country club thing.
"She'll just have to get used to you because I plan on having you around for a very long time." Derek told Addison with another smile. His McDreamy smiles were reserved for Addison only and Derek had to admit that he was relieved that he was no longer nicknamed McDreamy. He had always hated that nickname.
"How long?" Addison asked with a small smirk crossing her lips.
"For as long as you'll have me." Derek replied. He was looking forward to a life with Addison. He knew that if they could get through her thing with Mark and his thing with Meredith, that they could get through anything.
"Forever then." Addison told him softly with a smile. She wanted forever with Derek and she was looking forward to starting a family with him. She wasn't naïve to believe that a baby would change Carolyn's opinion of her, but she knew that Carolyn wanted another grandchild. She had fourteen already, but none from her son.
Derek loved the idea of spending forever with the woman who was sitting beside him. He loved her and he was looking forward to whatever lay in front of them. He knew that they had talked about kids a long time ago but she hadn't been ready at that time. Derek hoped that she was ready now. He wanted a little girl with red curls and intense blue eyes and a little boy with dark brown, almost black hair and clear blue eyes.
"Here's a rest stop." Addison commented as she pointed at the sign in front of them. They both needed to stop and get out of the car to stretch a bit before they continued the drive.
Derek pulled into the parking lot and he was surprised how empty it was. He was used to rest stops being packed with families and young children. Both Addison and Derek stepped out of the car and Derek pulled his wife into a hug. He hadn't been able to hold her in over an hour and he needed to hold her. He rubbed his thumbs over Addison's cheeks and stared into her blue eyes. He was lucky he didn't have to bend that much to kiss her because she was almost as tall as he was. Instead of kissing her lips, he kissed her nose. As endearing as Addison found that, she wanted a real kiss on the lips. She grabbed Derek's jacket collar and pulled his lips down on top of hers.
Feeling his lips on hers was a feeling that Addison had missed when they had been apart. The way she felt when he held her and kissed her was unlike anything she had ever felt before. She felt sexy and desirable but she also felt safe and loved in his arms. When she finally pulled away from his lips, Derek was looking at her in that way that always melted her knees and made it very difficult to stand up.
"I love you so much Derek." Addison whispered as she ran her hands through Derek's Russell Crowe hair.
"I love you too Addie. More than you'll ever know." Derek told her before he pressed his lips to hers again, but this thing more hungrily. Somewhere in the back of Addison's mind she knew that they were in a public place but right now, Derek's kisses and his light touches had turned her on and right now she really wanted Derek inside of her.
"Fuck Derek." Addison breathed desperately against her husband's lips. She hoped that he would understand exactly what she was trying to tell him. Derek smirked against Addison's lips, knowing exactly what she wanted. Sex at a public rest stop wasn't exactly what they had had planned but spontaneity was good in a marriage. As for the cleanest spot in the rest area, Derek wasn't sure.
"Derek, now." Addison murmured impatiently. She was not a patient woman and she wished that Derek would stop over thinking everything. Derek picked Addison up and Addison's legs wrapped around Derek's waist and he carried her over to a grassy area and he put her down. Derek took off his jacket and tossed it to the side along with his shirt and his pants and boxers. His shoes were the last to be discarded. Addison was still clothed only because Derek knew that Addison got even more turned on when he took off her clothes. Addison had removed her jacket to reveal a low cut red shirt that hugged her breasts just right. Derek only wanted her more when he saw the shirt she had on.
"Don't keep me waiting." Addison insisted. Derek pulled her sweater off of her body and revealed a lacy black bra. It was Derek's favorite bra because he could see right through it. Derek lay on top of her as his hands moved to cup her breasts in his hands. Even under the lacy fabric he could see her nipples harden as his thumbs brushed over them. He knew that they would stay aroused even when he removed her bra so he removed her bra and his thumbs returned to brushing over her nipples. Addison could feel herself getting wetter between her legs and she just wanted Derek to rid her of her pants and lacy black panties. Derek could see that look of desperation in Addison's eyes and he removed her pants. He could feel the warmth coming from Addison as he ran his fingers lightly across her black lacy panties. Addison was in agony now. Derek was so fucking slow and she needed him inside of her this instant.
"Derek fucking Shepherd." Addison growled. Derek chuckled at his wife's impatience and he slowly dragged her panties off of her legs and settled himself between her legs. He knew what she wanted so instead of making her wait any longer, he slipped himself inside of her and Addison finally moaned with pleasure and relief. His lips went to her neck and he sucked lightly on her neck as his hands roamed her full breasts. God Derek loved his wife's breasts. They were easily his favorite part of her body. He moved inside of her faster and harder and he could see the look of pleasure on Addison's face. She was not loud during sex, but hearing her moans was a definite ego booster.
"Faster Derek." Addison breathed. When Derek began nibbling her neck as he pounded himself faster and harder inside of her, Addison moaned even louder. God she was in heaven right now. Derek was pleasuring her like he had never done before and Addison never wanted it to stop. Addison could feel her orgasm building already and she couldn't believe it. This was probably the fastest she had ever felt the orgasm building.
"Derek…"Addison breathed. She could feel it coming and she felt her body heating up and her heart racing and her breathing quickening.
"Addie…"Derek breathed back. They both were feeling their orgasms building and Addison hoped that they were able to climax together. She always loved it when they managed to do that. When they hit their climaxes at the same time and they called out each other's names in ecstasy it was a feeling that they never wanted to forget. Their hearts were racing and their breathing was erratic and they were covered in sweat, but they didn't care because it was following the most intense orgasm either of them head ever had.
Ordinarily they would have stayed where they were and held each other close but being in a public vicinity changed that idea and they were still breathless as they reached for their clothes and put them back on. Their faces were still flushed with post coital bliss, something that was not lost on the adults in a family that had just arrived at the rest stop. They received looks of disgust and a lot of shaking heads. Derek didn't really care what these strangers thought of them, but Addison was beyond embarrassed. She couldn't believe that they had had sex at a rest stop in plain view of anyone who stopped at the rest stop. Her cheeks were pink and it was less from post coital bliss and more from embarrassment. Once they were in the car and back on the road, Derek looked at his wife.
"Addie, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." Derek reassured her.
"Kids could have seen us Derek." Addison muttered. She didn't want kids seeing any of that.
"I think you are overreacting Addie." Derek told her.
Addison shot her husband a look of disbelief. She could not believe that he was telling her that she was overreacting.
"So if our kids saw two people having sex in a public place you would be okay with that?" Addison demanded.
"No of course not. But Addie no kids saw us. Just relax okay." Derek told her. Addison frowned and crossed her arms across her chest. Right now she was not happy and she had wanted to spend the weekend being happy and avoiding fights with her husband. Derek wasn't sure how long Addison could stay silent, but he didn't want her to feel like she had to be. So he decided to change the subject.
"Do you think Mark and Brianna are going to last?" Derek asked.
"I hope so. She's good to and for him and he's good to and for her." Addison replied. It was clear that she did not feel like talking to him, so Derek shut up and kept driving in the directions of the Hampton's house, leaving Addison to her thoughts. It seemed like only a short time later when Derek pulled up to the house that they had spent so much time in in past vacations. He was looking forward to a weekend with his wife and no one else.
