Can't Help Falling in Love

"Derek," Meredith breathed as they walked into the hotel late that night. "This place is....really nice."

"I know," he smiled as he led her towards the check in desk. "Come on."

"But..." Meredith frowned, looking around the white marble and golden chandeliers of the lobby with wide eyes.

"Don't worry about it, Mer," Derek laughed. "It's fine."

"Welcome to the Merrion Hotel," the man behind the counter smiled as he spoke with the famous Irish accent. "What's the name?"

"Shepherd," Derek smiled.

"Ah, yes," the man smiled. "You will be in room 374. Here are your keys, and of course, if you have any problems, please let us know."

"Thanks," Derek said with a smile. "Come on, Mer."

Meredith followed him towards the golden elevators, her eyes wide as the bellboy wheeled their suitcases onto the elevator with them. "Derek," she whispered, pulling his head down to hers. "This is way too much."

Derek smiled as he pressed a kiss to her forehead. "I want to spoil you, Mer," he said. "I'm going to be an intern soon, and I won't be able to give you as much attention as I want to. I hate that, so I'm getting as much time in as I can now."

Meredith smiled softly. "Okay," she whispered, her eyes darting over to the bellboy before they returned to Derek. "Thank you."

"My pleasure," Derek smiled, pressing a kiss to her lips.

The doors slid open and the bellboy led them to their room, nodding to them as he set their bags beside the door in their room. "Enjoy your stay Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd," he said as Derek offered him a tip.

"Oh," Meredith swallowed hard as she looked down at her feet.

"Thank you," Derek smiled as he closed the door behind the bellboy and turned to Meredith. "Mer, I'm sorry, I didn't mean for them to think that we're..." he was interrupted by the feeling of her lips on his, her body pressing tightly against his as she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. "Oh."

"I missed you," Meredith whispered against his lips, pulling him towards the king size bed.

"I missed you too," he murmured.

"And now...we're in a fancy hotel," Meredith whispered, pressing him onto his back and climbing on top of him. "In Europe."

"We are," Derek smiled. "And I was promised make up sex."

"Really...amazing make up sex," Meredith breathed, her hands moving under his shirt.

"Definitely," Derek whispered, rolling her onto her back. "I love you so much."

"I love you too," Meredith breathed, threading her fingers through his hair.

"Hmmm," Derek sighed, pulling her sweater over her head and moving to trail his tongue around the line of her bra.

"Derek," she gasped, arching her back into his touch.

"You are so incredibly beautiful," he whispered.

"I..." Meredith's eyes fell closed as he unhooked her bra in one easy motion, leaving her breasts exposed to his hungry gaze.

He leaned down to suck eagerly on her nipple, smiling slightly as he felt her skin begin to heat beneath his hands. "Mer," he sighed as he trailed kisses down her abdomen to her belly button. "God, I love you."

"Derek," she breathed, sitting up slowly. "You...too many clothes."

He smiled slightly as he reached for the button on her jeans. "I'll be naked," he promised. "But first...first I need to show you how sorry I am."
