Looking at you side ways

He took her by the hand and walked her out of the closet. He sat her down on the bed and gave her a quick kiss. He turned a lamp on the nightstand on.

"Bath or shower?"

"Um...bath I guess."[i] She just wanted to submerge herself.[/i]

"I'll be right back." He said as he went into the bathroom. She heard the water running and smiled.[i] He was filling up her tub. She smelled lavender from her bath salts.[/i] He came back in a few minutes and said, "It's ready. It's hot. Be careful."

He walked her to the bathroom and asked, "Where are your PJ's?" [i]It took her a moment to think. He had lit all the candles around the tub and there was no need for lights.[/i]

"Um....top drawer of the nightstand to the left of the bed."

"Get in and I will bring you a glass of wine." He hurriedly left and Meredith stripped off her clothes quickly and tied up her hair and got in the tub.[i] It felt heavenly. The warm water washed over her and cleansed some of her day away. [/i] She put her head back and allowed herself to feel the warmth and felt her breathing deepen.

Derek ran to his bedroom and quickly put on pajama bottoms and a t shirt. He grabbed a large bath sheet from the hall closet and ran downstairs and put her PJ's and the bath sheet in the dryer. He poured them both a glass of wine and went back upstairs. He knocked softy at her bathroom door, but she didn't hear.

He opened the door slowly to make sure he didn't invade her privacy and found her stretched out in the tub with bubbles everywhere. He smiled as he [i]remembered the tiny sexy lingerie that was underneath the PJ's he had grabbed.[/i]

[i]Obviously [/i]he thought, [i]too many bubbles. She was complete covered.[/i] He came in and set their glasses down. He softly said, "Meredith?"

"Um......This feels soooooo good Derek. You are the best." [i]This felt a little weird to her, but Derek had seen her emotionally naked. So what if he sees's her in the tub[/i] she thought to herself.

He knelt down beside the tub and cupped her neck. "Here. Have a sip."

She stared at him and took a little sip of the wine and laid back. Derek took a large sip of his.

Derek grabbed a towel and threw it on the floor and kneeled behind the tub and gently rubbed Meredith's shoulders. She moaned loudly and he chuckled.

"I could be a little tense." She admitted.

He laughed and said, "You think? Let's see what Dr. Shepherd can do."

Derek gently massaged her neck and upper back while she moaned lightly. He saw and felt her slick, naked, glowing skin and sighed a little. [i]He was incrediatly turned on, but knew tonight was not about them. It was about her. Getting her to the next day.[/i] He massaged her neck and shoulders until he felt all the tension release.

Meredith said softy, "You have magic hands Derek."

He nibbled on her eye lobe and said, "You have no idea Meredith."

She was already flushed from the warm water, but his hands and voice were making her hot.

They both heard the thunder in the distance and Derek said, "I think you should get out soon. You don't want to be in the tub in a storm."

"Um...Okay."

Derek stood up and finished his wine. "Don't get out yet. I'll be right back."

Meredith quickly washed herself and wondered [i]why he didn't want her to get out. [/i]He was right back with her PJ's and held a large towel out for her.
