The timeline of this chapter...This chapter is set in early season 5, in the early days of Meredith and Derek's reunion after the clinical trial, to be more precise. Hence this is a pre-marriage one-shot...Enjoy!

Meredith's eyelids flickered as she lay naked in bed, the blankets which were covering her body, creating a warm cocoon. Sunlight shone inside the room through the gaps in the blinds, and the pleasant aroma of bacon assaulted Meredith's nostrils. She rolled around in the empty bed for a few minutes, before finally opening her eyes. She squinted as her eyes adjusted to the glaring light and then glanced to the other side of the bed, only to find it empty.

Wondering where Derek had gone so early in the morning, Meredith grabbed her cell phone from the night table and looked at the time. It was 10 in the morning, and Meredith smiled to herself as she lay back on the bed. It was Thanksgiving, and she and Derek had managed to get the day off from work. A grin spread out on her face as she remembered how she and Derek had stayed up all night having Thanksgiving Eve sex, which was probably not even a thing, but, oh well, it worked for them.

The aroma of freshly cooked bacon wafted to Meredith's nostrils once more, and this time, her stomach rumbled at the delicious smell. She giggled to herself as she got up from the bed and snatched Derek's button down shirt from the floor. Buttoning the shirt up, she wondered if it was Derek cooking breakfast. Well, if it was him, he was definitely doing a great job since both of them needed the food after all the calories they had burnt the previous night.

Stepping out of the bedroom, Meredith hesitated briefly to go into the kitchen in nothing but Derek's shirt. Though, as far as she knew, all her friends were working that day and wouldn't be home till afternoon. Throwing caution to the wind, she made her way towards the kitchen slowly.

Upon entering the kitchen, Meredith's eyes alighted on Derek standing shirtless at the counter, his back turned to her as he threw some ingredients in the pan. Derek was usually pretty reluctant to move around the house without a shirt, since their house was occupied by so many people. But, now, he stood in nothing but his black boxer briefs as he cooked breakfast for them.

Meredith leaned against the doorframe and watched as Derek threw open cabinets and continued adding this and that to the pan, humming softly to himself. God, he looked so damn sexy like that, cooking breakfast in nothing but his boxers. She licked her lips as she watched the strong muscles of his back flex with his movements. His hair was perfectly tousled, making her want to run her fingers through them. God, she had missed him so much; she had missed her Derek so very much.

Suddenly, Derek turned around to grab something from the island and his eyes landed on Meredith leaning against the door jamb. His eyes widened and a pale shade of crimson tinged his cheeks upon discovering his silent observer.

"Meredith, when did you come in?" he asked, blushing like a schoolboy.

Meredith giggled as she watched the blush in his cheeks and walked over to where he stood. "Just now," she rejoined, her voice suffused with laughter.

"Oh, well, I was just making us Thanksgiving breakfast," Derek said, planting a soft kiss on her lips. "Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving," he murmured against her lips.

"Mmm...You too," Meredith replied, deepening the kiss slightly. She let her tongue enter Derek's mouth and explore his warm cavern. Derek moaned slightly before pulling away from the kiss.

"Mer, you almost made me burn our breakfast. I swear you are becoming insatiable," he laughed as he went back to tending the bacon.

"Well, you were certainly not complaining last night," Meredith giggled as she wrapped her arms around his waist from behind and rested her chin on his shoulder. "So, what did you make for breakfast? Because something smells amazingly delicious here," she asked as she peeked at the bacon over his shoulder.

"Not just any breakfast, Mer. Thanksgiving Special breakfast," Derek corrected her cockily.

"Okayyy...Thanksgiving Special breakfast. Happy? Now, what is it about this breakfast that makes it so different from a normal breakfast?" Meredith asked as she moved aside and propped herself on the kitchen island, her long, bare legs swinging back and forth.

"Hmm...Well, I have made cranberry buttermilk pancakes, pumpkin pie French toast, bacon and, sweet potato and black pepper biscuits. And there is cranberry sauce and maple syrup too. Now, tell me, does this sound like a regular breakfast to you? Or does it sound like a Thanksgiving Day Breakfast, or brunch, given the current time?" Derek asked, quirking one eyebrow as he turned the stove off and deposited the plates on the island.

Meredith's mouth fell open slightly as she looked at all the dishes kept on the counter. She poked the food items with her finger in amazement. "Derek, how - how did you make all this? Pumpkin pie French toast? What even is that?" she sputtered out, bemused by her boyfriend's culinary skills and creativity.

Derek smirked as he watched the look of utter amazement and wonder on Meredith's face. "Hmm...Actually, when I was a kid, Mom used to make holiday special breakfasts for us every year. All of those recipes were her own creation. As I grew up, I learnt some of the recipes from her, and then modified those recipes according to my wish. All of this, it's a combined recipe by me and Mom. Regular food with a festive spin on it," he replied with a proud grin.

Meredith looked at him, her eyes shining with excitement. "Derek! This is AMAZING! Seriously, I am so damn lucky; my boyfriend is a chef!" she exclaimed, picking up a sweet potato and black pepper biscuit from the plate and placing it in her mouth.

Derek laughed at her enthusiasm. "I try," he threw jokily.

Meredith remained silent as she relished the exotic flavour of the biscuit. A look of pure bliss spread out on her face as the sweet and peppery flavour of the biscuit assaulted her taste buds. After she had finished chewing, she said, "Derek, this is freaking fantastic! You should be in MasterChef; this tastes absolutely delectable."Her eyes sparkled with the excitement of a kid.

Derek chortled and shrugged it off. "It's not that good," he said modestly.

Meredith pulled Derek towards her and wrapped both of her legs around his waist. Planting a soft yet lingering kiss on his lips, she said, "It is that good. Stop being so modest; it does not suit you."

"Hmm...If you keep kissing me like that, I won't be able to let you have breakfast," Derek replied huskily as he caressed her face with his hands.

"Mmm...But, I am hungry," Meredith giggled as she placed another soft kiss on his lips, her hand twining around his neck.

"Then stop kissing me," Derek replied as he returned her kiss with a firm kiss of his own.

"Hmm...Maybe, we could have food and sex both...'Cause I have to admit, watching you cooking shirtless in the kitchen is kind of a huge turn on," Meredith remarked saucily, letting her tongue briefly enter his mouth before pulling back.

Derek smirked at her as Meredith leant back slightly and pulled the bowl of cranberry sauce towards herself. Dipping her index finger in the rich red-coloured sauce, she brought her finger to her lips and sucked it seductively into her mouth. The delectable taste of the sauce hit her tongue, and the look of pure desire on Derek's face combined with the sweet and tart fruity taste of the sauce was enough to make her body hum with unbidden lust.

Derek's midnight blue eyes darkened with desire as he watched Meredith suck off the sauce from her finger, the swift brushing strokes of her tongue engendering very porny, dirty thoughts in his mind. He had always thought that Meredith was extremely skilled with her tongue, in more ways than one. And now, as he watched Meredith's tongue move in and out of her mouth, lapping the sauce slowly from her index finger, Derek could not help but think of dirtier things that Meredith could do to him with that tongue of hers.

"Mmm...This sauce is yummy," Meredith moaned seductively, licking her lips in satisfaction.

Derek leaned forward and pressed a firm kiss against her lips and then said huskily, "Are you going to eat that sauce all by yourself, or are you going to let me have a share too?"

Meredith threw him a sexy, playful smile as she dipped her finger in the sauce once more, and this time, brought her finger up to Derek's mouth. Derek parted his lips and pulled the tip of her finger inside his mouth, and sucked on it lightly. The zingy piquant taste of the sauce combined with the sweet taste of Meredith's velvety skin, made him feel like he was in heaven. He licked her finger clean and then nibbled on it lightly, making Meredith emit a throaty laugh.

Meredith pulled her finger back from his mouth and dipped her finger in the sauce once more, but this time, she picked up a cranberry from the sauce and popped it into her mouth, savouring the sweet taste of the berry in her mouth. Derek pouted at her and said, "Are you going to enjoy the cranberry all by yourself? What about me?"

Meredith laughed and clamped the berry between her teeth, and leaning closer to Derek, she made it clear that she wanted to share the cranberry with him. Derek grinned at the puckish glint in her eyes, and without a moment's hesitation, crashed his lips into hers. Meredith wrapped her arms around his neck as their mouths fused together, and Derek let his tongue brush against the cranberry inside her sweet mouth.

The fruity, full-bodied taste of the cranberry and the warm, sweet taste of Meredith's honeyed mouth were enough to make all the blood rush to Derek's groin. His tongue explored Meredith's mouth thoroughly as the juices of the berry mixed with their saliva, creating a sensual experience for both of them. Derek's lips were hard and demanding as he sucked hard on Meredith's bottom lip and then gently bit it, eliciting a low moan from her.

Pulling back from the kiss, Derek noticed Meredith's swollen and red lips from his hard, passionate kisses and the cranberry sauce. The sight of her red, tumid lips sent another wave of pure lust rushing through him, and he started unbuttoning her shirt with both hands. After all the buttons were undone, he practically ripped off the offending piece of clothing from Meredith's beautiful body and then, let his eyes feast upon the treat in front of him.

Picking up a spoon, Derek dipped it in the bowl of cranberry sauce and smeared some of the sauce on Meredith's neck. Meredith giggled at the sensation, but her giggle quickly turned into a guttural moan when Derek started sucking on the smooth, sauce-coated skin of her neck. He let his tongue brush the sweet spot at the hollow located at the base of her neck, and his male pride inflated when Meredith moaned loudly and tugged on his dark hair with her hands. After having licked every drop of the sauce from her neck, Derek picked up the spoon once more and this time, smeared some of the sauce on both of Meredith's pert breasts.

The contact between the cold metal of the spoon and the warm skin of her breasts made Meredith shiver slightly, her nipples hardening and jutting out as a result. She leaned back and placed both her palms flat on the cool marble top of the island, bracing herself for what was about to come. Derek flashed her a roguish, sexy smile as he picked up two cranberries from the sauce and placed one on each of Meredith's breast. He then bent his head forward, letting his tongue and his teeth loose on the delectable sauce-coated skin of her breast.

"Mmm....God, Derekkk..." Meredith groaned as Derek swallowed up the cranberries and then proceeded to suck hard on Meredith's own berry-like nipples. She tangled her fingers in his wild raven curls as he sucked her nipple inside his mouth and flicked the sensitive bud with his tongue over and over again. Meredith's loud cries of pleasure only served to spur him on, and he closed his teeth around one of her pert nipples, making her cry out loud.

"Derek!" Meredith cried as Derek bit down hard on her sensitive nipple, and he promptly soothed the sting of his bite with his warm tongue. Meredith closed her eyes in pleasure as she felt the heat of desire coil in her lower belly. Derek continued sucking on her hard berry nipples till they were swollen and red, and then raised his head to watch the look of pure bliss on Meredith's face.

However, Derek was nowhere near done with her. He spooned out some of the cranberry sauce from the bowl and smeared it all the way down Meredith's smooth abdomen to her very wet, throbbing pussy. Leaving a trail of the sweet and spicy sauce down Meredith's lower body, he smeared the sauce thickly over Meredith's creamy pussy, for his own sexual pleasure. Discarding the spoon, he bent his head to lick the sauce off the smooth, soft skin of Meredith's abdomen. Nipping and sucking slightly on the abdominal skin, Derek let his tongue explore Meredith's navel. Meredith's hips bucked up wildly as she tried to push Derek's head down to where she needed him the most, but he continued taking his sweet time with her.

Derek's mouth slowly travelled lower, his tongue tracing lazy circles all over her skin as he finally reached Meredith's pussy. The heady scent of her arousal mixed with the aroma of the cranberry sauce was enough to make Derek lose all his control. Forgetting all about his sweet torture, Derek thrust his tongue deep inside Meredith's wet, slick centre, making her cry out loudly.

"Fuck! Derekkk..." Meredith shouted as her hips bucked wildly, Derek's tongue lapping up the sweet juices of her arousal. Derek placed both his hands on Meredith's hips and pushed her hips down as his tongue continued to slurp her creamy juices. He wrapped his tongue around her engorged clit and sucked on it roughly, while he pushed two fingers inside her wet centre.

The pressure on Meredith's clit combined with the pumping motion of Derek's fingers made Meredith thrash wildly. She could feel her orgasm approaching faster than she had anticipated, and her soft cries of pleasure filled the entire house.

"Derekkkk!" she screamed as her orgasm hit her in full force, and for a moment, she felt everything go blank around her. She squeezed her eyes shut as the orgasm washed over her in powerful waves, leaving her quaking like a leaf. Derek licked up the juices from her centre and then placed his mouth against hers, letting her taste herself and the cranberry sauce on his lips.

Meredith slowly kissed Derek back as she came back to earth from her powerful high. Tangling her fingers in his thick mane, she pushed him back slightly so that she could get up. She placed her hands on the waistband of his boxers, and pulled the boxers down in one swift motion.

"My turn," she said mischievously as she picked up the bowl of cranberry sauce and dipped the spoon into it. She trailed a path with the spoon, all the way from Derek's lips, down his chest and abs to his throbbing erection. Derek shivered when the spoon made contact with his hard member, making Meredith smile.

Meredith let her tongue loose on his chest, licking his skin dry. She lapped up the spicy sauce from the sweaty skin of his chest and his abdomen and then bit his skin playfully. Derek groaned at the sensation and tangled his fingers in her dark-blonde tresses. Meredith continued biting and sucking his skin till her mouth reached his hard cock.

Taking up the spoon coated with the sauce, Meredith smeared the sauce thickly over the sensitive tip of Derek's cock. Then, she wrapped her mouth around the head of the cock and sucked lightly.

"God, Meredith..." Derek moaned as he struggled to keep his balance. Meredith continued licking and sucking the tip of his cock till she tasted the pre-cum on it. Taking the spoon again, Meredith smeared some of the sauce along the sides of Derek's throbbing length and then proceeded to take him fully inside his mouth.

"Fuck!" Derek screamed out when Meredith deep-throated him, letting the tip of his cock hit the back of her mouth. She continued sucking him off as his earthy scent mingled with the aroma of the sauce. Lapping and biting, Meredith raised her hand and cupped his balls tightly, making Derek's legs tremble with his impending orgasm.

Derek's head tipped back as the first waves of his orgasm started washing over him. Meredith continued sucking him hard till he released his cum in her mouth, and she swallowed it up greedily. Pulling back from Derek, Meredith wiped her mouth with her hands and stood up, watching the look of pure bliss on Derek's face.

Derek opened his eyes, and noticed the smirk on Meredith's face. "And what are you smirking about?" he asked as he pulled his boxers back up and Meredith moved over to put his shirt on.

"Nothing. Just thinking about how we can make each other scream," Meredith quipped, laughing as she buttoned up the shirt and propped herself back on the island. This time, she actually turned her attention to the food and picked up another biscuit from the plate.

"Mmm....We burnt a lot of calories last night and today...I am damn hungry," Meredith said as she grabbed the plate of pumpkin pie French toast and dug into it. Derek laughed as he moved to stand between her legs again and brushed a few strands of hair from her face.

"Suit yourself. All the food is yours," he commented, making Meredith smile through a mouthful of toast.

"Thanks, Derek. This is the best Thanksgiving ever," Meredith said after she finished chewing, her grey-green eyes sparkling with happiness.

"It is the best Thanksgiving ever. And I'm most thankful for you," Derek remarked as he leant forward to place a soft, chaste yet passionate kiss on Meredith's lips.

Meredith giggled as she kissed him back. "I am thankful for you too. And, thankful for us," she added.

"Yeah, thankful for us," Derek echoed as Meredith locked her arms around his neck and captured his lips in a sweet, passionate and loving kiss.
