Hey guys! Seeing as I had an AMAZING Valentine's day today, I decided to give you guys a little gift! So here it is ;) Enjoy!

Skye opened her eyes the next morning to find herself wrapped in Lucas's arms, chest to chest. Her eyelashes brushed his cheeks as she looked up into his jade-green eyes, which were already open and watching her with a peaceful expression. Lucas brought his lips to kiss Skye's forehead when he saw that she was awake. "Good morning."

"Morning," murmured Skye, her eyelids fluttering lazily. She brought her hands up to rub the sleep from her eyes, yawning. Lucas stroked Skye's hair, a small smile on his lips. Skye, catching the smile, raised her eyebrows questioningly.

"D'you know what day it is?" asked Lucas, sliding his hands down to rest on Skye's hips. Skye struggled to think, which proved to be hard, seeing as the placement of Lucas's hands was driving her crazy.

"Hm," Skye tapped a finger on her lower lip. "I don't know. I haven't exactly been keeping track of days… or time, now that I think about it."

Lucas laughed and leaned forward to press his lips softly against Skye's. "It's Valentine's Day, Bucket."

Skye paused, thinking about what Lucas had just said. So, it was Valentine's Day. Skye knew that she couldn't expect Lucas to be adorably romantic, seeing as she hadn't even remembered that it was February 14th. But she found herself wondering why Lucas would bring it up if nothing had been planned. Nevertheless, Skye shrugged indifferently and tried to act as though it didn't affect her. "Is it?"

Skye could feel Lucas smiling against her forehead as he replied. "It is. Take a look."

Skye frowned, pushing herself up out of bed. Her eyes widened as she took in the room, which definitely did not look the same as it had the night before. The room was filled with flowers of all kinds; pinks, reds, whites and pale yellows. Skye felt her mouth drop open as she scanned the room, and Lucas reached behind her and pulled out a small bouquet of sky-blue flowers. "Happy Valentine's Day, Skye."

Skye took the bouquet and brought it to her nose, her eyes closing involuntarily as their sweet scent travelled around her. She opened her eyes and flung her arms around Lucas, holding him as tightly as she could. "Thank you. Really. No one's ever done something like this for me before."

"Well, no one loves you as much as I do," said Lucas, bringing his lips to Skye's. Skye let her eyes close, reveling in what Lucas had just said. Skye hoisted herself into his lap, wrapping her legs comfortably around his waist as her tongue played with his. Their faces were closer than Skye ever thought possible; she could see every scar on his skin, every speck in his beautiful green eyes. Her forehead was pressed against his so that even as they broke away for air, they were still close. As Skye leaned in for another kiss, she knew that she had decided.

"Lucas," murmured Skye, her lips brushing at his ear. Her hands travelled up his body and her fingers stopped at second button of his shirt. She slowly undid the button, moving down to the next. "Lucas, I want you."

Lucas's eyes widened as he met Skye's, his heart racing as he caught the desire in her eyes. He stopped Skye's hands, holding them apart. "Skye, are you sure?"

"Yes," mumbled Skye, bringing her lips back to Lucas's. She ground her hips ever so slightly against Lucas's, and her mouth tilted into a smile as a deep moan rumbled from his throat. He grabbed her hips, lifting her off his before she could seduce him any further.

"Wait," panted Lucas, holding Skye by the shoulders. He looked up into her eyes, his expression serious. "Are you sure this is what you want? You know that we can't ever be like normal couples. I… I'm a monster, Skye."

Skye reached out and took Lucas's face in her hands, that last sentence hitting her right in the heart. "You aren't a monster, Lucas."

Lucas scoffed, turning away slightly. "I've killed people. I held Deborah hostage. I smashed your head against a rover, giving you migraines that'll probably last the rest of your life. And now I'm keeping you away from your family and friends."

"Lucas – "

"And don't tell me that you don't miss them," Lucas cut across Skye's words, giving her a pointed look. "I know that you were crying downstairs yesterday. It was about them, wasn't it? And you whisper their names in your sleep. Every night."

Skye sighed, her eyes squeezing shut. "You're right. I miss them, a lot, but I'm surviving without them. I don't think I could stand being away from you."

Lucas shook his head, pressing his lips together. "You're just saying that because you think you love me."

"I think?" Skye's eyes widened incredulously, her eyebrows threatening to disappear into her hairline. She reached out and pulled Lucas's lips to hers almost violently, wrapping her legs around his waist again. She kissed him as passionately as she could, trying to show him that he was wrong. Skye could feel Lucas melting under her touch, and she took it as an invitation to wrap her arms around his neck until she was on top of him. She finally pulled away, seated on Lucas's hips.

"Don't ever say that again," Skye hissed, leaning down to kiss Lucas's lips again. "I love you, Lucas Taylor. And that will never, ever change."

Skye could see the gratitude in Lucas's eyes, and she knew that she had done the right thing. Lucas wrapped his arms around Skye's hips, resting just above her bottom. His eyes surveyed Skye's face, a smile twitching at his lips. "I'm sure young Shannon is a lot better for you, though."

"Yeah, well," Skye leaned down and kissed Lucas's lips, biting her lower lip as she pulled away. "Kinda sucks for him."

Lucas let out a low chuckle, his chest vibrating against Skye's. She placed her palms on his chest, openly admiring each muscle on his torso. Skye moved her eyes back up to his, raising her eyebrows. "So? Do I get what I want?"

"Hell yes," growled Lucas, rolling over until he was on top of Skye. He kissed her fervently, as though it was his last chance. Skye reached up and unbuttoned his shirt, and Lucas broke away to pull it off and throw it onto the floor. Skye's hands travelled to the two bullet wounds in Lucas's chest, and she caressed them gently before moving her hands up to his shoulders.

Lucas helped Skye out of her shirt, and soon enough it was on the floor beside his. He marveled at every perfect curve of her body, struck by how beautiful she was. Skye's hands moved down to his belt, undoing it swiftly as Lucas helped her slide out of hers. Lucas's hands travelled up Skye's body, stopping just under her bra as though he was afraid to touch her. With a roll of her eyes, Skye unhooked her bra and grabbed Lucas's hands, placing them on her bare breasts. She dipped her head back into the pillow as Lucas caressed her breasts, his thumbs rubbing over her hard nipples. One of Lucas's hands moved back down Skye's body, and the electric tingling sensation returned between her legs.

Suddenly, Lucas slipped a hand beneath the hem of Skye's underwear and his finger flitted across her clit, sending spasms of pleasure shooting through Skye's body. Her breath hitched in her throat and Skye wrapped her arms around Lucas's neck, pulling him closer to take his lips between hers. Lucas's fingers rubbed maddeningly against the sensitive skin while his other hand pumped her breasts, sending Skye deeper and deeper into revelation.

Lucas suddenly plunged a finger into Skye, and she let out a cry, her back arching towards Lucas in response. Skye felt her hormones going haywire as the tingling between her legs got stronger, eventually turning into a sort of pounding. Lucas slid another finger into her, pumping his fingers in and out of her. A moan escaped Skye's lips, and her eyes closed as the pounding got stronger.

"Last chance," murmured Lucas into Skye's ear, his fingers still working her from underneath. Skye could feel Lucas's erection against her hipbone, and it only excited her, making her want him more. Skye reached down and took his length into her hands, stroking him repeatedly. Lucas let out a growl, bringing his lips back to Skye's. "Tell me if I hurt you, okay?"

"Okay, okay," huffed Skye, becoming impatient. She pumped her hands along Lucas's shaft, marveling at how thick he was. She felt a slight shiver of fear ripple through her body, anticipating the pain that might be involved, but the jitters between her legs told a whole different story. Lucas's breathing became erratic as Skye continued to pump, going faster and faster. Suddenly, his eyes flashed open and he took himself in his own hands, and by the look on his face Skye could tell that he was ready.

Lucas brushed against Skye's opening, and the pounding became overbearing. Skye's head dipped back again, her hips rising to meet Lucas. Her voice came out in a raspy moan. "L-Lucas. Please. I want you."

Lucas's eyes met Skye's, and Skye could tell that he was actually hesitating. With an impatient groan, Skye guided Lucas to her opening and thrust her hips up, silently telling him to get on with it. Lucas cast Skye one last hesitant glance before thrusting himself into her.

Skye let out a gasp of pain as her hymen broke away, and she grabbed fistfuls of the bed sheets to keep from screaming. Lucas looked down at her, and Skye nodded encouragingly, hiding the pain from her expression. Lucas leaned down and took her lips between his as he eased himself further in until the full length of his shaft was inside of her. Skye ground her teeth together against the pain and groaned as Lucas pulled back and pushing into her again, grunting with every thrust.

Then, all of a sudden, another feeling overtook the pain. It was the pounding, but amplified at least a hundred times more. Skye sucked in more air as her breath hitched in her throat, and her hips began to buck to meet Lucas's rhythm. Noticing the change in her behavior, Lucas moved his lips back to hers and kissed her fiercely as he began to thrust harder.

Moans of pleasure filled the room, but neither Skye nor Lucas cared at that moment to quiet down. Skye gasped as Lucas's thrusting intensified, her legs shaking with anticipation. She could feel her body tensing, her breathing becoming as erratic as Lucas's. Her fingers dug into Lucas's neck, inviting him to go faster. Lucas pulled a hand out of Skye's hair and moved it down to Skye's clit, rubbing it furiously as he thrust in and out of her faster than he ever thought possible.

Then suddenly, Skye felt herself go light-headed with pleasure. In that blissful moment, Skye found herself escaping reality and desiring to stay in those few seconds for the rest of her life. Skye felt as though electricity was running through her body, lighting up every last nerve until –

"Lucas!" Skye's scream echoed through the room as she climaxed, her hands tightening around Lucas's shoulders. She felt her legs go weak, as though she had been walking for years, and she shivered as sweat dripped from her collarbone. Taking one look at Lucas told her that he was almost there, but not quite. Deciding that Lucas had most definitely earned a reward, Skye flipped him over and sat on top of him, ready to do some work.

Skye began to grind herself into Lucas as fast as she could, and found that her position allowed them to go much faster. Lucas's hands gripped Skye's bottom as she thrust, guiding her with shaking fingers. Skye watched in satisfaction as Lucas's eyes rolled into his head, and she leaned down to take his lips between hers. Suddenly, Lucas's hips bucked up with one final thrust, perfectly timed to Skye's, and his back arched as he peaked.

It might have been the most entertaining thing Skye had ever seen, to watch the oh so evil Lucas Taylor turn into jelly under her. His whole body shook as he exploded inside of her and he collapsed, pulling Skye to his body. Skye wrapped her hands around his neck, burying her face into his neck. She was thoroughly exhausted, but she knew by the stunned look on Lucas's face that it had paid off.

"That…" panted Lucas, stroking Skye's hair as he kissed her jaw line. "Was amazing. Where'd you learn to do that, Bucket?"

Skye ran a hand over her face to wipe off the sweat, throwing Lucas a satisfied smirk. "I dunno. You were my first."

"Was I?" asked Lucas, raising an eyebrow teasingly. Both he and Skye knew that he already knew she had been a virgin. Lucas shifted and pulled Skye back onto the bed, wrapping his arms around her possessively. Skye sighed happily, relieving what had just happened. Her legs were still shaking from her climax, and she couldn't believe that she had actually gone light-headed under Lucas. But then again, his reaction had been much better.

"Hey, Skye?"

Skye looked up to meet Lucas's eyes. He was watching her with an intense expression, his hands still caressing her hair. "I love you."

"I love you too, Lucas," replied Skye, smiling happily. Lucas rolled over and reached for the ground, pulling something out of his pants. Skye raised herself off the bed slightly, trying to see what it was over Lucas's body.

"In that case…" Lucas turned back around and held an object out to Skye. Skye looked down into Lucas's hands and tears pricked at her eyes when she saw the beautiful green ring. Lucas lifted Skye's chin with his hand and looked into her eyes, his expression so vulnerable that a tear slipped down Skye's cheek. "Will you marry me?"

"Yes," whispered Skye, another tear sliding down her face. Lucas's smile turned into a grin, and he kissed Skye's tears away before holding a hand out, signaling for Skye to give her his hand. Skye held out her left hand and watched Lucas slide the gorgeous ring onto her finger.

As she wrapped her arms around Lucas's neck, kissing him passionately, Skye found that she was unable to look away from the green diamond ring on her hand. It seemed to symbolize that she had made her decision, and she wasn't straying anymore. Skye was going to stay faithful to Lucas – forever.
