December, 1942.

[Evelynn]

The air outside was icy, it clung to my chest as I walked into the main hall.

The sound of music and laughter burst into life as I opened the door, I took a few seconds to glance around the room gathering my new surroundings. I'd never been to this base before, my father had recently been registered to join the war against Hydra. We'd heard for so long of the horrors that had been happening in the far away countries, now we were joining the fight to end this terrorism.

I made my way to the buffet table, it was littered with sandwiches and various baked goods brought by the women who owned our dance hall. Food was short these days, but they put on such a fantastic spread. There were pitchers of water and fresh juice, with a perfectly lined up set of glasses before it. I smiled to myself, helping myself to a few pieces onto a plate before I walked away. My shoulder caught against another, knocking me unstable; I lost my balance but composed myself with the help of a nearby table.

'' I am so sorry, Miss. Are you okay?'' A voice broke me from my instability, I looked up to see a pair of distinctive brown eyes peering down at me; I was much shorter than the man. His hair was combed and he wore a perfectly pressed military suit. I straightened my back, and nodded.

'' Yes, I-I'm fine.'' I finally stammered. He was handsome, broad shouldered and polite. His voice was as soft as butter, and his smile made my heart skip. He nodded, flashing me another smile almost knocking me off my feet once more. '' Could I have this dance?'' He cocked his eyebrow, a half smile on his lips as he offered me his hand; the music changed to a slower style and I gladly accepted his hand. I placed the plate on the table before he could guide me towards the dance floor. As we stood on the wooden floor, his hand rested on my waist pulling me closer causing a rush of butterflies to dive around in my stomach. My palm rested upon his shoulder as he lead us against the dancefloor, I looked up into his eyes; they peered down at me. My heart was hammering against my chest so fast, that the music that filled the room seemed to drown out. I couldn't focus on anything else but him and his dark eyes.

He left me completely breathless.

The stranger guided me across the dance floor as if we were in a dream. He kept his eyes on me, yet still, he knew exactly where to lead me, knew where to hold me,. Every moment, every angle seemed to be planned in advanced. Nothing felt forced; I thought I was floating on air.

"Everybody is looking at us.." I whispered, slightly embarrassed by the attention.

He squeezed my hand slightly and smiled. "Really," he chuckled softly, "I haven't notice."

With that, I knew. He need not say more. My heart, my whole being was now his and his alone.

Nothing else seemed to matter anymore; I allowed him to take me anywhere he pleased on this dance floor. He went right, I went right. He sped up, I sped up. We became one with the song, with the dance and with each other.

'' What's your name?'' I questioned.

'' It's Bucky.'' He laughed, He gave my hand a quick squeeze maintaining our waltz across the floor without missing a step.

'' Bucky?'' I cocked an eyebrow, gazing up at him. '' Is that short for something?''

He nodded, smiling once more. '' What's your name?''

'' Evelynn.''

After what felt like an eternity in his arms, He lead me outside. The cold air hit me hard and I shuddered out a breath, He slowly took off his olive-green jacket and draped it over my shoulders. I offered a silent thank you as I enveloped myself in the warmth, He leaned against the fence panelling that surrounded the building; following his gaze I caught him admiring the moon in the sky above us. The stars lit the darkness us, just enough to forget where we were for a little longer.

I heard a growl of frustration beside me, it shook me from my thoughts. I felt a palm on my cheek as I stepped back, a strong arm caught my balance. I gasped with surprise as Bucky's face came into few, I looked up at him and took a deep breath. He straightened me up, as his thumb caressed my cheek gently.

'' Forgive me..'' He muttered under his breath before he moved close to me, pressing his lips to mine with a gentle yet forceful kiss. I allowed my eyes to fall shut as I hooked my arm around his neck gently, pressing my lips back to his. We spent a few moments in each other's arms, His forehead rested against mine and his dark eyes gazed into mine fondly. I let a small sigh of contentment escape, as my nose nudged past his.

'' May I walk you home?'' He moved away from you, offering his arm to me which I accepted.

We began to walk along in silence, my young mind was a race with inappropriate thoughts; I caught myself looking up at him occasionally. There was a certain harshness to Bucky, as if he were a person not to underestimate. At this very moment, nothing else seemed to matter; I wondered if it was was possible that I was falling in love with a man I barely knew?

We arrived at my door, I brushed the jacket from my shoulders and held it in front of me. I stepped up onto the few steps leading to my door, He placed one foot on the step I stood upon and gazed up at me.I offered him the jacket, He took it from my hands and pulled me in close again; my breath was stuck in my throat and I couldn't seem to catch it. His lips pressed against mine gently, my eyes slipped shut as I lost myself in the moment. My chest was pressed flush against his as he enveloped his arms around me, the kiss became more urgent and headed; I lifted my hands to tangle my fingers in his short hair. He gasped against my lips before he pulled back, his voice was low and husky; I wondered what he was thinking. Bucky looked down at me, his chest was against mine and I could feel his breath had become more laboured than previous. I guided one hand down his chest, followed by the other; I loosened the knot in his tie and looked up at him with a ghost of a smile on my lips.

'' Evelynn.. '' He whispered, I broke him off him another kiss before I turned to open the door behind me. I took his hand in mine and lead him inside, nudging the door shut behind me before we walked towards my bedroom. With a simple flick of a switch, my room brightened up; Bucky stood in the doorway as I walked inside, shutting the curtains around the room. I walked back over to him, he stood with his hands by his sides. My hands returned to loosen his tie; the knot fell apart in my hand I caught the fabric in my hand. I kept it in my grip as I began to gently unbutton his shirt revealing his chest to me slowly. He took a deep intake of breath and looked at me, his eyes were shut.

'' I want to..'' I whispered in return, he nodded; lowering his head to press his lips back to mine. His shirt fell open and I brushed it off his shoulders, holding it in my hand before he stepped forward, pushing me back towards the bed. He moved away, taking his shirt and tie from my hands, he draped them over the chair in the corner of my room. I stood beside the bed, watching as he walked to me; his hand reached behind my back, unzipping my dress and watched it drop to the floor, his eyes casted over my body as I stood in my underwear; he admired every contour of my curvaceous body.

He stepped closer to me and kissed me once more.
