[Skye has calmed down, just a little.]

I totally wusses out on doing the accent, but, yours made up for it.

[Skye likes walking and yet not really putting any effort into it. Even if that means Jesse has all her weight on him.]

That was the most entertaining thing I've seen weeks. I can see why you like doing it.

[hostage]

Well... It ain't usually that entertaining.

[The effort was all for her. No one else has ever witnessed such a performance from him.

Once they've reached their floor, it's on down the hall and into their room. The honeymoon suite is hardly impressive compared to the beach house, as Jesse predicted. But it is wonderfully kitsch and garish.]

[morethan084]

[Skye refuses to move into the room once he's opened the door.]

Uh, aren't you forgetting something?

[She gives him barely a second to guess what she means before she speaks up again.]

You've got to carry your bride over the threshold.

[hostage]

- Oh, of course.

[Without further ado, he scoops Skye up into a princess carry. Which is... harder than it looks, for someone as scrawny as Jesse. But he'll manage, with wobbly steps.]

[morethan084]

[Giggling, Skye wrapped her arms around him quickly as she felt as though she was about to fall over otherwise.]

I don't weigh that much, do I?

[hostage]

Nope. No. Light as a feather.

[Lies. He is lying. Skye is solid muscle and Jesse is a twig. He won't drop her, though. Only once they've reached the bed does he begin to lower her... onto the mattress. And immediately half-climbing on top of her.]

[morethan084]

[Skye isn't that surprised either. Giggling fading, Skye's arms limply rested against his shoulders as she settled into the bed.]

Hello, Mr. Bond.

[hostage]

Hello... Mrs. Bond.

Mrs. Belinda Bond.

[Easing in to brush a light kiss to her lips.]

[morethan084]

[Snorting at the way he said her 'name' Skye reached with one hand to the back of his head in order to pull him closer to her.

Although she just realized something.]

Did you close the door?

[hostage]

No. Should I?

[Because he doesn't particularly care.]

[morethan084]

Unless you want to give everyone a free show.

['Everyone'. This place seemed rather deserted.]

[hostage]

Mmm... But I'm so good right here.

[Why move when he's perfectly comfortable on top of her?]

[morethan084]

[Skye kisses him one more time before moving her head away from him.]

If you won't close it I will.

[No she won't. Right now the mere thought of moving more than she had to was exhausting.]

[hostage]

[With a whiny grunt, he rolls off of her and onto his feet. Fine, fine. He marches across the room to shut the door, then marches all the way back to flop on top of her again.]

[morethan084]

[Smirking because she knew she had won, Skye watched as he threw his hissy fit to the door and back.

Screeching quietly when he fell back on top of her, Skye held her hands in front of her face out of instinct before pulling them away to look at him.]

Was that so hard?

[She can be a little shit when she wants to be.]

[hostage]

Something's hard.

[She left that wide open.]

[morethan084]

I knew were you going to say that.

[And yet it still gets a laugh out of her.]

[hostage]

I couldn't resist.

[He ducks down to nibble playfully at the crook of her neck.]

[morethan084]

[Laughter dying down again, Skye resorted to just teasing him again.]

Is this what you meant by never staying the night?

[hostage]

Well, it ain't like I'm doing any sleeping.

[morethan084]

No, definitely no sleeping

You just take your victims to this unsuspecting place and suck them dry.

[Yes. She's calling him a vampire.]

[hostage]

[Now he has to nibble at her neck again. Though:]

You got it wrong. I'm the one who's always bleeding for other people.

[morethan084]

[Good. Her plan worked then.]

No. I'm pretty sure you're a vampire. Seducing me with your Wisconsin accent.

[hostage]

[Back at it with the mangled Saul impression:]

I had no idea you were so into it, my little cheesecake.

[morethan084]

Great, now I want cheesecake.

[Because clearly that's what he wants to hear right now.]
