The Seventh Sense is Love

The First Time Together

Meredith opens the door to her apartment and pulls a laughing Derek inside with her. "You drive like a maniac," he states while pulling her into his arms.

"Not usually," she giggles as she locks the door behind them and leans up to kiss Derek.

He pushes his hands gently into her hair and deepens their kiss - loving the silky slide of her tongue in his mouth. He cups his hand on the back of her head and gently tugs so he can slowly trail his lips along her jaw and up to her cheeks before moving back to her lush mouth.

Meredith clutches Derek tighter around the shoulders as she feels her knees going weak from his tender touch. She moves to take his hand tightly in hers and whispers, "Come with me."

In her room - Meredith sits them both on the end of her bed. She reaches up to trail her fingers along his cheek and feels her heart clench in her chest. Derek is wearing his usual dark sunglasses and she reaches up to take them off but he grabs her wrist, stopping her motion.

Meredith chews her bottom lip but doesn't say anything. She wants to see Derek's eyes but she isn't going to push the issue if he isn't ready to show her.

Derek knows his glasses are a security blanket of sorts. He's unsure about showing Meredith his eyes. He doesn't know why, though. He knows he's being irrational - she won't judge or be critical. They are in her room together, about to have sex. Annoyed with himself, Derek rips the glasses off his face and waits for her reaction.

Blue, is Meredith's initial thought upon seeing his eyes for the first time. Her mind is swirling with questions. She wants to know how he lost his sight - among other things - but this is definitely not the time to ask. She leans into him and gently kisses each eye once and then places her lips upon his for a sweet and lingering kiss.

Derek's heart is beating frantically in his chest. She kissed my eyes, he thinks - stunned. She kissed my eyes, he thinks again, biting her bottom lip and eliciting a surprised moan from her.

They kiss until their lips are flushed and swollen. At the same moment, they start tugging at one another's clothing. They undress hastily, anxious to feel the other - skin on skin. They're laying on the bed now and Meredith tries to push Derek to his back but he resists with a sexy chuckle. He pushes her to her back and says, "Slow down, Mer."

"No," she pouts, reaching up and digging her fingernails into his shoulders.

He groans and his body grows tighter but he takes a deep controlling breath. He reaches up and takes her hand in his, bringing it to his mouth to place little kisses on each fingertip, determined to have his way.

Derek trails his fingers up her arm, across her collarbone and down the center of her body. He stops between her breasts when he feels her heart hammering and leans down to place a gentle kiss right there.

Meredith's breath hitches in her chest at his tender gesture and she runs her fingers through his raven hair - marveling at the softness. Her brain goes happily fuzzy as Derek replaces his fingers with his tongue and continues his quest down her body. When he reaches her navel she reaches down and tugs on his shoulders to bring him back to her mouth.

He laughs at her shyness but gives in to her and moves to kiss her again. Derek pulls Meredith's body tight against his as his tongue plunders her mouth. He runs his hands down her back and squeezes her butt in his hands - making her giggle and relax against him.

She takes the opportunity to do some exploring of her own and runs her hands down his muscled arms. She rubs her breast against his chest and smiles at his sharp intake of breath. She fights the urge to squirm as her nipples tighten to erect nubs at the sensual friction.
