DISCLAIMER: I only own this story.
Skye woke up gradually, slowly gaining awareness of her surroundings. The first thing she noticed was that she was warm. She put that down to the bed she was in. The second thing was how rested she felt. Again, she put that down to the bed. The third was that she noticed how relaxed she was. Strange. No bed had ever done that to her before.
Pushing that thought to the back of her mind until she was fully awake and able to think it through, she tried stretching, only to find that she was quite firmly restricted. Panic rose within her like a tsunami and she froze. Simmons! How did she find me?!
These thoughts were very quickly forgotten as her restraints moved. Her breathing picked up its pace, Skye looked upwards and sighed in enormous relief when she recognised the face of the man sleeping beside her. Or rather, around her.
Grant Ward had his arms wrapped around Skye's body and his left leg was hooked round both of hers. His face held the most peace that Skye had ever seen on it. She wondered if that was because of her. It most certainly seemed be the explanation in vice versa.
Skye lay in Grant's embrace, enjoying the feeling of safety that was so rare these days. Content to just gaze at his face, began to think that maybe Kara was right, maybe they could forgive each other. In any case, the love was reciprocated on both ends.
Eventually, Grant stirred, his grip tightening momentarily. Blinking a few times, he found most of his view was taken up by Skye's face. She wasn't smiling, as seemed her MO lately, but her gaze was soft and tentatively trusting.
"Is this is part where I say 'morning'?" he asked, his voice husky with the dregs of sleep. Warm amusement flickered in Skye's eyes, accompanied by a hint of lust. Grant took particular notice to the second emotion, and tamped down his own horny beast. Now is definitely not the time for that. For one thing, Kara was still in the room.
"It would be if it was morning." Skye replied, the faint twitch of her lips adding to the evidence of how much happier she seemed to be.
Grant smiled, happily getting lost in her eyes. The two of them remained locked in this moment of bliss for several minutes before the yawning sounds emanating from behind Skye told them that Kara was awakening.
