Hey guys, sorry for not posting on so long. So this chapter was supposed to be MayWard/mamason time. But I started typing and these two had a few things to say, so here they are. SkyeWard.

Disclaimer: If I owned Marvel's AOS Ward would have been been a Badboy but loyal agent. Imagine Ward flirting with his rookie, yuh know...walking around shirtless just to tease her, or getting possessive when he finds out about Miles (and maybe beating the crap outta him) :/ okay longer AN at the bottom. See Ya!

Chapter 6 - Bonds

They were ready to infiltrate the Garrett Estate, it had been a long two weeks of planning and decision making but they were ready. Even Skye was ready, but Grant had a lot to say about that.

"Over my dead body are you ever going back there!" he growled at her.

She almost smirked at him (he was an Alpha, it took a lot to kill him, she knew what he was getting at.) "Why not? It makes sense Grant! I know that place inside out, and if anything goes wrong I can pretend I came back, give you an out or extra time!" she retorted. In the short time they knew each other she had grown surprisingly comfortable arguing with him.

It infuriated him as much as it made him want her even more. He was pretty sure she knew it. And he was also pretty sure he was whipped. He didn't care. He loved it.

"That is exactly why I don't want you going in there Skye; I will not risk them having you again... I won't survive it if they took you from me," he finished quietly, realizing the easiest way to make her understand was to tell her how terrified he was of losing her.

It worked. She cut short whatever argument she had ready and stared at him with bright eyes. Tears had formed as she heard the pained way he'd said it. As if losing her was worse than death itself. If he felt the way she did (which he did) then she understood. She was terrified for him to face Miles, he could get hurt or worse, but he was also an Alpha and that counted for a lot in their world.

She stepped closer to him and wrapped her arms around his torso, leaning her forehead on his chest. She spoke quietly, also wanting him to understand. "I don't want them to get you either, 'cuz if they do they are going to do so much worse than just try to hurt you. They're sick bastards, especially John, and I just want to do what you're doing; protecting your Mate."

He'd wrapped his arms around her, and they had gotten increasingly tighter around her as she spoke. By the time she was done, there was a low continuous growling coming from his chest. He was not happy. And this time she'd pissed off not just him, but his wolf too.

Grant easily grabbed the back her thighs to pick her up and place her firmly on the table five feet behind her. She had to wrap he legs around his waist to keep from falling over once he'd somewhat unceremoniously plopped her down. His eyes were glowing, a rich gold colour, a sign that his wolf was begging for control to claim her. His hands snaked up to cup her face, as his thumbs seemed enthralled by the softness of her neck. He leaned in so he could nuzzle his nose against hers as he spoke.

"I will say this one more time and you will listen and you will obey your Alpha. You are not going near that estate ever again. You will never step foot in that God forsaken place as long as I have breath in my lungs, and you will never, ever worry about protecting me from anything. As your Alpha and as your True Mate it is my responsibility to protect you. Not the other way around."

He ended his tirade by pressing his lips to hers roughly; kissing her as if everything depended on it. She gasped as his lips attacked hers relentlessly, forcing his tongue into hers, fighting her tongue for dominance. He won of course. Dragging his tongue against the roof of her mouth, her legs tightened in response, as she grazed her teeth against his languorously retreating tongue.

When his tongue disappeared, his teeth clamped down on her bottom lip, pulling and sucking. She couldn't breathe, nor did she want to. She knew he was fighting his wolf, the urge to mark her. But that didn't mean she had to fight hers.

She pulled away from his dangerous lips, pulled his hair roughly, so as to manoeuvre him so she could get better access to his neck. Biting into his neck, Skye sucked the slightly salty, smooth skin. It was a sweet spot she'd unwittingly discovered in their slow exploration of each other. A loud groan escaped Grants' lips, as she stroked her tongue against the abused skin; his hands tightened on her hips, his long fingers grazing her ass.

When she was done, there was a very fresh hickey on her Mates' neck; one that could not be covered. She smirked at him as she pulled away, seeming very please with her work. They were both breathing hard, Grant a little more so than Skye.

"That probably wasn't the best idea, but since you won't mark me yet..." she smiled mischievously at him. He huffed a laugh at her, pressing his lips to hers in a much gentler fashion this time. As he pulled away, he leaned his forehead against hers and spoke softly, "You know why I won't Skye, only when you are ready and not a moment before," before she could get a word in, he continued with a sinful smirk, "But when I finally do mark you, you're going to have a lot more than a hickey on your neck to show for it."

Skye stared at him with a "deer caught in headlights expression" as he squeezed her ass, and placed a soft kiss on her neck. She jumped when his stubble grazed against her soft skin and he whispered dangerously into her ear, "Imagine what it's going to feel like when my face is buried between your legs instead."

Before she could respond, he was strutting out the room, with a commanding stare thrown over his shoulder he continued, "You will stay here, where it's safe, I'll have guards watching the perimeter and you. So don't even try what you're thinking," and as if he were simply going out to meet up with old friends, he added cheekily, "I'll be back in time for dinner, love."
