Chapter 40: Playful Morning

Derek grumbled when the alarm on his phone went off at 0530. He set it for about 30 minutes before his normal time to get up so he could cook them breakfast. He didn't want to move from the position that he and Meredith had nestled into nicely over the last few hours of sleep. Derek was thankful he was able to reach over with minimum effort to turn the clock off, not having to move too much.

He didn't want to wake her, knowing her flight out was scheduled at 1400 (2:00 pm). They didn't go to sleep until around 0300 (3:00 am). He knew he could make it on little sleep, he had done it many times before, but her job was much different than his today. She also told him she didn't have to be in until at least 1000 (10:00 am) before they finally feel asleep.

He tried to move his arm from underneath her, but she stirred slightly at his movement, "hmm." She said a little wispy.

"Morning." He kissed her softly, "Go back to sleep. It is much too early for you to be up."

"I want to be up with you before you go." Meredith fluttered her eyes open for a second before closing them again.

He smiled at her having trouble himself keeping his eyes opened; however, he wanted every last second with her to see her beautiful face and body. He knew he had to get up though or the promise of breakfast wouldn't happen. As much as Derek wanted to forgo that for more time lying with her, he also wanted to do this for her. He had a feeling she was not used to any of that part of a relationship from part of their talk in between their passionate times together through the night. He quietly whispered in her ear, "I am going to take a shower then cook you breakfast. You need to sleep; I do not want you falling asleep in the cockpit."

"That wouldn't be good." She smiled while keeping her eyes shut.

"You can stay here until you need to get up to go to work." Derek wished he could stay with her until she had to go in, but he knew part of the job waiting for him was to work on the plane she would be flying to the boat later today.

"That was the plan; I have my stuff in my Hummer."

"I will bring that in for you as well." He felt a twinge of nervousness about her leaving, someone seeing her leave or someone seeing him get her stuff out of her car. He would wear a hooded sweatshirt which wasn't uncommon for the early mornings of a cool crisp summer.

Meredith felt him tense a bit and opened her eyes, "Are you okay?"

Derek looked at her almost in shock she would ask, "I am, but when you leave, it would be best to wear one of my hooded sweatshirts."

"You just want me in your clothes." Meredith smirked, knowing this was a good idea and was glad one of them was always thinking these things through.

He could feel himself growing hard thinking about her in his clothes. As much as he wanted to lay here with her, be late to work, he knew they couldn't, "Shower. I need to get in the shower." He decided to get right up instead of lingering trying to hide his forming erection.

Meredith watched his naked form through sleepily eyes and couldn't help but admire the view. She could see him bend over to start the water in the bathtub and knew she needed more of that now. As much as she knew she really needed to sleep, she would go back to sleep after he left. She smiled to herself when she saw him get in the shower, catching a glimpse of his erection. Meredith definitely had to take care of that …

Derek had turned the water just a tad bit cooler than normal trying to lower his body temperature. Before he could even really get started, he felt a stream of cool air heat his back that caused him to turn back to look. He just grinned at the sight, "You couldn't stay away."

"I couldn't let this go to waste." Meredith reached her hands around to his semi hard member that the cool water had already started to effect causing it to immediately grow in her hand.

"Oh, Mer." He groaned the second he felt her hands on him bucking his hips a little.

"Feel good?" She purred in his ear.

"No, feels great, but I want to feel you, the inside of you." He breathed out turning around forcefully, pinning her hands to the back to the shower wall with each of his, bent down slightly to position his cock at the opening of her pussy. Derek's took one of his hands off of hers to help guide himself into her. They let out loud moans when they felt skin on skin deep within her warm dwelling reaching their climax together.

"Derek."

"Hmm." He responded with his chest pushed up against her back and his arms fastened around her body.

"You have to move." Meredith closed her eyes, not wanting this to end.

"I do. I have breakfast to cook." He smirked while turning her around to look at her.

"You did promise to feed me."

"I think I did more than feed you." Derek replied with a sexy voice while reaching to turn off the water.

"Oh my god, Derek." Meredith squealed when she looked up at the shower head.

"What?" Derek asked surprised.

"You have a loofah." Meredith laughed.

Derek grinned, not even thinking about it hanging there.

"Oh, um… wow. Okay, I am sorry. I should have known you would have women here that shower in your shower… and…" Meredith started to ramble almost feeling stupid that she assumed she was the only one that had been here.

"Stop! This is not another woman's." He wanted to laugh at how cute she looked just for a split second but knew what this was

"No?" Meredith could tell by the look on his face he was telling the truth.

"You're a handful enough for me as it is." Derek leaned into kiss her casually touching her chin before grabbing his towel and getting out.

She giggled, "You have a loofah." Meredith stepped out with Derek while Derek wrapped the towel around her and grabbed another one off the shelf.

"Yes, you would be amazed at how many of us navy guys have them." When he was on his first deployment, he will never forget seeing one of the first classes with a loofah in the shower and laughed at him. However, as time went on, he realized why they had them and would never leave home without it.

"I am sure." She smiled adoringly at him. Meredith loved that he didn't really care what people thought about things when it came to issues such as these.

"Okay, on to the kitchen. Back to bed for you." He pointed towards the bed with his head.

"I think I will watch the master chef. I will go back to sleep… once you leave." She immediately felt a twinge of sadness.

"Hey, none of that. But, you have one thing right." Derek smirked.

"What?"

"You are about to see a master in the kitchen." He grabbed a t-shirt for her to put on.

"Is that all you are a master at?" Meredith cocked an eyebrow open.

"I think I answered those questions well into the morning." He flashed a smile and slapped her ass playfully as she put the t-shirt on over her head truly not wanting this moment to end.
