I enjoyed this story as Derek and Melissa were having their one week stand, but after that the storyline lost it's hook in me. Despite what Melissa went through with Sloan, I didn't enjoy the direction the story took with Melissa, Derek and Sloan being connected to one another. I didn't like how Melissa immediately changed her tune with Derek when things with Sloan took a bad turn.

I will admit, the sex between Derek and Melissa was hot (I'll never think of a family restroom the same again), but hot sex couldn't save the story for me.
