I do not own Torchwood, or any of the characters in this piece except for Skye Iwasaki who is my own creation.
Chapter Six
Ianto woke first the next morning, a slow contented smile spreading over his face as he watched the sleeping girl against his chest. He instinctively reached over, turning his alarm off once he'd noted it was nearly time for them to get up, before gently lifting one of Skye's hands and kissing up along her fingers.
He had only just reached the metal band on her wrist when Skye's hand tilted, gently brushing her fingers against his cheek as she looked up at him, a shyness to her despite what they'd done the previous night. Ianto leant in, gently pressing a kiss to her lips as he wrapped his arms back around her.
"Good mor'..."
Ianto didn't even get to finish his sentence before his mobile began to ring on the bedside table. He didn't bother checking the name, keeping Skye close though he withdrawn from inside her before he answered the phone.
"Jack?"
"Skye. Did she sleep?"
"Yes, why wouldn't she?"
"Anything strange from her? Where is she now?"
Ianto glanced at Skye long enough to mouth to her who was on the other end of the phone, though she merely gave a nod to him. It was no surprise – she'd expected Jack to insist on checking up on her, though she had hoped for a little longer respite before he did so. She quietly removed Ianto's arm from around her and slid out of bed, pulling on the shirt he'd had on the previous night before she let herself into his ensuite. Ianto frowned a little, but allowed her to leave, focusing more on Jack.
"Strange how?"
"Strange weather, strange...electrics? Noises? Anything."
"Well...no...not really."
"Not really?"
"She could hear noises on the wind last night just before the rain started...she was singing...that's all. She was happy, Jack."
"Good...good...well...get her into the Hub by the afternoon. You're to escort her while she's shopping, ensure she doesn't behave to strangely. You understand?"
"Yes sir"
Ianto pursed his lips a little as the line went dead, returning his phone to the bedside table before he allowed his gaze to drift downwards. A few now dry blood stains marked the sheets where Skye had been sleeping. He sighed softly. Jack expected him to monitor the girl, exactly as Torchwood One had, not this, and yet...and yet, she'd fully consented. They both had.
He looked up as Skye returned to his bedroom, smiling warmly and holding out a hand to her to guide her back in beside him. Skye's pale cheeks had flushed a little, but equally she seemed more than willing to rejoin him. He lightly ran a hand through her dark hair, taking a moment before he mused aloud.
"I didn't realise..."
"Hmm?"
"That you were...well...that you hadn't done that before..."
"I haven't...with a man"
Skye gave him no more of answer, though she tilted her head and gave his throat a light kiss. Ianto gave a little smile, letting his lips find hers again as he gently laid her back down on the bed and shifted on top of her, unbuttoning the shirt as he kissed his way down onto her chest.
Skye gently stroked his hair, her eyes fluttering shut as she felt him kiss lower, his tongue entering her moments later to sooth where he'd torn her the previous night. A slow series of moans escaped her lips as she felt Ianto's tongue take up a steady rhythm within her, his hands gently supporting her hips. She came a few moments later, Ianto licking her clean before he reappeared from under the covers, cradling her back in his arms. Skye nuzzled her way against him, remaining quiet until Ianto spoke again.
"What is Jack to you really? He seems very...concerned."
"Doesn't matter..."
"Skye...please...it goes no further"
Skye paused a moment, before shifting so she could look up at him as she answered.
"He saved my life even after I thought I'd taken his. Okay?"
