Endless Summer Nights

4.

Meredith opens her eyes to see an elderly man standing over her, staring at her with this creepy look. Meredith feels herself shudder as she tries to move her body away from him. He has this big goofy grin on his face as she notices him checking her out.

Meredith: Umm...I'm sorry...I don't think my boyfriend would like that..

The elderly man looks around. He doesn't have to know that she is as free as a bird...or whatever. Not attached. Single. Whatever you want to call it. He doesn't need to know that. She doesn't want him to know that.

Old Man: I don't see him anywhere.

Meredith looks around as she bites down on her bottom lip.

Meredith: Well, he should be here any minute and I already promised him he could put on my sunscreen.

Old Man: Well, I don't see him so I say you just let me put it on so you don't get burned.

It is then that Meredith feels a large hand on her back. She turns her face and her green eyes get lost in his seas of blue.

Derek: Sorry it took me so long, honey.

Meredith smiles at him, relief washing over her. That is, until she notices that he is moving in for the kiss. Suddenly she feels nervous. Why does she feel so nervous? She could swear that there isn't just a couple of butterflies in her stomach, but a whole damn swarm.

She licks her lips in anticipation as she feels his hot breath against her face. Their eyes lock and she feels completely lost, almost as if she is drowning, but in him. She can't help but think how much she wants to drown in him. How she wants him to fill her up in ways that she can only imagine.

Suddenly, his lips are mere centimeters away from hers. Her eyes glance at them quickly before meeting his eyes. She wants to run her fingers through his hair and before she knows it, she is. She reaches up and feels his silky locks run between her fingers as she pulls him closer, closing the remainder of the gap between their lips. Their lips meet and seem to merge as one. No longer is this a kiss to save her. This is a kiss to taste her. And God, does she taste good.

Meredith feels herself falling back against the chair, but her grip on his hair allows him to fall with her. She opens her legs for him, allowing him to position himself between them. If only there weren't two scraps of clothing seperating them. If only they weren't in public. If only.

Derek runs his tongue along Meredith's bottom lip, tasting her cherry lipgloss and groaning in pleasure. He opens his eyes and sees her green ones staring back at him as he thrusts his tongue past the barrier of her lips, the plush pink flesh grazing her teeth before meshing with her own. She can feel his large, warm hands moving down her sides and she gets lost in the sensations. He presses his hips against her and she gasps as she feels his erection against her stomach, wanting him, needing him at this point. It isn't until they hear someone clearing their voice that they break apart, both completely breathless and obviously aroused.

Voice: You two should really get a room. I wouldn't mind watching there, but there are kiddos...and there is this really creepy old guy watching you.

Derek groans as he lifts his head up and looks at the tall, muscular man.

Derek: Mark. Meredith. Meredith. Mark.

Meredith giggles as Mark smirks at her.

Mark: Very nice, Derek. First day on the trip and you've already bagged a babe.

Derek (mouthing): Sorry.

Meredith just giggles and shrugs as Mark walks over towards Izzie, trying to work his charm with the bubbly blond.

Meredith: So, what was that about?

Derek smirks.

Derek: Had to save you from the old guy.

Meredith smiles as she tilts her head to the side. Something about her has already captivated Derek and he reaches up and brushes a strand out of her face. An act that speaks of familiarity, almost as if they have known each other beyond the bounds of time and space.

Meredith: So, you are basically my knight in shining whatever.

Derek chuckles feeling completely at ease in her arms.

Derek: You could say that.

Meredith: Well, Mr. Knight, how you you like to save me from getting a horrible sunburn and help me apply my sunscreen.

Derek smiles as he reaches down and grabs her bottle of sunscreen.

Derek: I would love to, My Lady.

Meredith's giggles are cut off as she feels Derek's large hands begin to work over her back. She leans into his touch craving it in much more intimate places. She hasn't even known him for an hour, but she wants him more than she has ever wanted anyone. She also feels more of a connection with him than she has ever felt with anyone else, including friends. She feels like she knows him and what she doesn't know, she wants to learn.
