Sky woke at her usual 5 am, still pretty tired from her late night rendezvous with Negan, but she forced herself out of bed and headed for a shower before grabbing some breakfast.
She almost didn't want to wash the smell of him from her skin, it was intoxicatingly delicious.
Just the smell of him sent memories of the night before flashing through her mind, a smile gracing her lips as she remembered his confession of love.
She tried not to think too much about him, she knew she would only get worked up and her body would start to ache for him again.
She ate a speedy breakfast in the dining hall and rushed off to the infirmary to start her shift. Dr Blake had the day off today after working every day for months on end.
Now that Sky was on the team, there was room for each of them to have one day off a week without the place falling to shit.
There wasn't a lot to do that morning, she removed a couple of stitches from different patients and checked on one with a head wound, making sure there was no underlying signs of concussion.
Around mid-morning one of Negans men Dwight came into the infirmary looking like he was on a mission.
"Hey you two" he spoke to the interns. "There's a truck out here with some more supplies, get out there and unload it" he ordered.
"Sure D" Sam replied as he and Keira both rushed out the door, a little intimidated by the man with the burnt up face.
Sky went to the back room to grab a drink of water while she had no patients to tend to when she heard someone clear their throat behind her. Turning quickly she saw Negan grinning at her from the doorway, his leather jacket unzipped and open, Lucille handing off his shoulder. He was the picture of confidence and swagger.
"Morning" he grinned.
"Hi" she replied with a shy smile, unable to fight the blush that always seemed to creep up on her cheeks when she was in his presence.
"Blushing already Darlin', I've barely said a word" he laughed.
"Shut up" she giggled.
He stepped in and closed the door behind him. "The boys and I have to go on a little road trip. Some fucker's have been making trouble for us and they need to be shown who's fucking top dog around here" he told her.
"I don't know when I'll be back, it's a while away…. So I might not see you tonight" he said, the disappointment evident in his voice and he certainly didn't miss the look of disappointment that flashed across her face too.
"Just please… be safe" she told him.
"Don't you worry about me Darlin'… no one fucks with Negan" he smiled cockily. "But I just had to do this before I go" he said as he took a couple of big strides until he was right up in her space.
Quickly lifting her up, he placed her on the counter, nudging his way between her legs as he kissed her with a burning desire.
She moaned at the contact as she threaded her fingers through his dark hair, enjoying the way his lips felt against hers. He devoured her with an undeniable hunger before he broke away to breathe.
"Fuck you taste so damn sweet" he smiled making her blush. "I better go…" he said as she pulled her body tight against his and kissed her once more, long and hard. "I'll see you beautiful" he grinned as he turned and left the room, leaving her sitting up on the counter panting softly.
As Negan left, she heard the interns come back in and she quickly jumped down, adjusting herself so she didn't look like she had just been ravaged by the big bad wolf that was their leader.
