They spent a few days longer that they would have covering the crater site. Once they realised they had found a creature that was strong and repulsive they wanted to cover all of their bases. On a night they had been staying in a hotel on the northern coast of Australia and flying back to the scene on a morning. Simmons had declared Skye fit enough to join them after a couple of days in the med suite.
Skye was just drifting off to sleep in her room when she heard a slight beep. It sounded like the lock to her door, so she turned to look. She saw the handle dip, so she raced out of bed to get her gun. Fury, upon making Skye an agent had handed her it and told her to use it well. She pointed it to the door. It opened wide and someone walked in. Someone tall, dark and completely gorgeous.
Once she recognised Ward she dropped her gun and ran to him. He picked her up in his arms and kissed her for the first time in what felt like forever.
"Hey!" He said to her, smiling.
"Hi." Was all she could say, before tears of joy ran down her cheek.
Ward wiped them off with his thumb and walked her over to the bed, where he put her down and dropped his bag.
"I have missed you so much" He told her, brushing her hair behind her ear. "But it's been a really long flight and I want to shower."
He pulled Skye's hand as an indicator to go with him. She did. When they got to the bathroom door he turned and pulled her into a deep kiss. His hands slid under her top and pushed it up. She put her arms above her head to let him take it off her, before doing the same to him. He pulled her into the bathroom and set the shower going. Waiting for it to warm up Ward pulled her closer and started an assault on her neck. He kissed her from her ear, all the way down to her collarbone, grazed her with his teeth and then soothed it with his tongue. He could feel her going weak at the knees.
There was a soft knock at the door. Skye looked at the clock: 6.30am. She groaned as she got up, wrapped her naked body in the sheets and went to answer it.
"Kain. What're you doing here?"
"Coulson wanted me to let everyone know that breakfast is in 30 minutes" He told her, eyeing up the bedsheets and tousled hair.
"Ok. I'll be down soon." She told him.
Half an hour later everyone but Skye was sat at a table eating breakfast.
"Where's Skye?" Simmons asked.
"You did wake her?" Coulson asked Kain.
"Yeah I did, but if you ask me she was having much more fun in her hotel room!"
May and Simmons looked at each other. It wasn't like Skye, who was madly in love with Ward, to pick up a strange guy and take him to bed.
"Why do you say that?" Simmons asked trying, and failing to be casual about it.
"When she answered the door she was wearing the sheets off her bed and she had sex hair."
"Sex hair?" Fitz mouthed to Coulson.
Worried, May and Simmons abandoned their breakfast and went in search of Skye. Coulson smiled, knowing exactly what they would find. The girls reached Skye's room and knocked.
"Skye. You're missing breakfast"
"I'm not that hungry"
"Skye, who is it?" they heard a male voice say.
Looking at the guilty, sheepish look on Skye's face May and Simmons barged past her into the room. When they saw Ward sat on the edge of the bed putting his socks on they couldn't contain their happiness. They both ran to him, arms outstretched. The momentum sent all three of them backwards in to the bed, which Simmons promptly fell off spraining her ankle.
"We're gaining another body" Coulson announced to Fitz, Kain and Amber as they prepared to check out.
"No. Coulson. We don't want an extra body." Fitz groaned.
"I'll just go back to Phys Acc then" Ward said behind him, making him jump. Fitz spun to see Ward, who had piggybacked Simmons down the stairs; Skye and May.
"Look who we found wandering the corridors" Skye announced, while Ward gave her a sideways look.
"Simmons, what happened?" Coulson asked when Ward deposited her onto a nearby chair.
"He jumped out on me and I fell down a couple of stairs. I'm fine. Just a little sore!"
