Author's Note: So the first person to email me with number picks was Wolvie'sFan. What a surprises right? lol. She requested a few numbers, actually, the first being 23, which happened to be Lovers. So, Because of the topic, I'm slapping an adult warning sticker on this one. I think it's tastefully done, but you never know with some people.

The moment he saw her walking along the beach it was like a punch in the gut. When SHIELD had taken her away for questioning he hadn't expected that it would be the last time he'd see her. When everyone had been returned to the Institute, Fury had told him she'd stayed with her family. It had hurt, he'd admit to himself now that he'd found her. She'd run from him instead of letting him explain. So, he gave her time, figured she'd need it. One week had turned into two, then three. He'd gotten fed up with waiting for her. He started at SHIELD, with Fury to learn where she'd gone with her family. Her brother had been an ass to get through, but once he knew which side of the world to look on, things had gone smoother. He'd found the plane ticket in her brother's name and gotten to the island. Now, he was breathing in her scent, watching her and it made him ache. He stepped back from the back door when he saw she was heading towards him. When she finally noticed he was waiting for her, she stared at him. Their short conversation didn't really matter to him, only the last question did. He had already braced himself for her answer. He was ready to turn around and walk out of her life. But that didn't happen, instead they'd finally given in. And she'd surprised him. That first time, when they'd crossed the line to lovers, had been desperate and frantic. There had been no finesse, no gentle words or slow seduction. They'd wanted, so they'd taken. There had been no hesitance from her, like he had expected. She'd demanded just as much as he had, taken as much as he wanted to take. And given herself completely. It had been explosive, leaving them both weak. And still he wanted, still he ached just as intensely as when he had seen her walking on the beach.

Author's Note: Rather short isn't it? But still tasteful, I think. Next I shall do number 3, as reviewed by Tamazi.
