9. Normal isn't real
Hello readers, I hope you enjoyed last chapter. A big thanks to the person who left the guest review, I'm glad you love the story, and finally things are getting really good as Steve and Dita finally kissed. Please enjoy, review, follow and favourite, I own nothing but Dita.
Steve felt the electricity run through him as he continued to kiss Dita, by the time they stopped kissing both their lips were swollen. Dita smiled and took the remote for the stereo system outside she had been hiding behind her.
"First song that comes on, we have to listen to, no skipping" she smiled. He nodded in agreement and she turned the stereo on.
It was the song "Love will take you" by Angus and Julia Stone. They both lay back on the poolside and listened as the lyrics sounded in her ears, tapping their feet to it.
"If we never found this love, if we never took that road.
If we hadn't had the heart, we wouldn't have this home.
Love, love will take you.
Love, love will take you there.
Love, will take you.
Love, love will take you there."
Steve closed his eyes as he listened intently to the lyrics that suddenly seemed to make all that more sense to him now. All the songs of love and confessions of true feelings he had been listening to since he woke up in modern day New York suddenly made perfect sense.
Dita kissed his forehead softly before sitting up and sliding into the water silently. She floated on her back as she listened to the song playing, humming along to it as she began to learn the beat.
Steve sat up and saw her floating there in the calm water, she looked so beautiful with her red hair sprawled out in the water, she looked so peaceful too.
"You are going to ruin your dress" he giggled.
Dita smiled up at him. "In this moment, right now, here with you. I don't care. Screw everything else".
Steve stood up and took his shirt off, making Dita smile even wider. He jumped into the pool and made his way to Dita. She laughed as he took hold of her waist and brought her up to kiss him again. His wet lips felt perfect against hers.
"God I could kiss you forever. If I had my way I would never stop kissing you. I'd just glue my lips to yours" he told her in between kisses.
"I think oxygen might need a place in all this you know, but I agree, I could kiss you forever too" she replied, and moved to kiss his neck gently, as he had done to her before.
"You should be ok with the whole oxygen thing, last time I checked, you could breathe underwater".
She nodded and moved to dip her head underwater. Steve grew worried when he saw her chest heave underwater, she had taken a deep breath in and he reached in to pull her out of the water quickly.
"What's the matter?" she asked.
"Did you just breathe underwater again?"
She nodded. "Yep, just like breathing air".
He stroked her cheek gently. "Wow, what are you?"
She nuzzled his nose softly and grinned. "A new and improved version of what you are silly".
He pulled her closer and she wrapped her legs around him.
"I hope we don't have exactly the same anatomy" he said looking down below her waist.
She moved to kiss him again, circling her tongue around his mouth slowly as she did so. He kissed back eagerly and was glad they were in water once her movements stirred his arousal. His pants grew unbearably tight, even under the water and he groaned into the kiss.
"Are you sure there isn't more for us tonight. This heat inside me grows every time we kiss, but I don't want to stop kissing you. It seems like a very vicious circle" she murmured against his lips.
"Believe me, I want more too, but I am a gentleman and I won't take advantage of you, not tonight anyway. I think you need to learn a little bit more about what a relationship involves" he smiled.
"Oh, I wasn't aware we were in a relationship Steve?" she winked.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have assumed that" he frowned.
"Steve, I was joking, I would love to be in a relationship with you" she grinned.
Steve kissed her lightly on the lips and splashed her playfully.
She backed out of his arms and raised her eyebrows at him. "Oh, that's how you want to play is it?"
She focused on the water in-front of her and raised her hands before pushing them forward. A small wave crashed over Steve, causing him to splutter and wipe water from his eyes, leaving his eyelashes wet and looking even longer than before. Dita could barely hold herself back from him.
"Wait, how did you do that? Did you even touch the water then?" he asked her.
"No, I guess not. Water just seems to be my friend. That isn't normal?"
Steve heaved himself out of the water and sat on the pools edge again. "No, that isn't normal for a human to be able to do that. Even a genetically modified human shouldn't have, power over the water".
She sighed heavily. "Please don't tell Fury, not yet anyway. He will want to run all kinds of tests on me and I just want to enjoy things how they are right now. I just want to enjoy my time with you for now".
Steve shook his head. "Of course I would never tell your secrets. I won't tell anyone anything unless you want me too. I promise".
She smiled and nodded and made her way out of the pool. He watched as her dress clung to her skin, showing every magnificent curve of her body in detail, the sheer material of the skirts of the dress became rather transparent, and Steve could see her long legs and the V shape of her hips. He shifted about in his place as he felt his arousal stirring once more as he couldn't help but imagine the scenarios he desperately wanted to be in with Dita.
She didn't seem to notice his strange actions as she walked towards him. She held her hand out for him.
"Come on, let's go to bed. I'm tired, and I just want to hold you, for a while longer" she said quietly. He took hold of her hand gently and she pulled him up and together they walked back to Steve's room.
Inside Steve handed her a towel and the two of them dried off. She proceeded to remove her dress and Steve helped her unzip it from the back. After he unzipped her dress he ran his fingertips along her back, she shuddered with excitement. He moved her still damp hair to one side and kissed her neck gently, placing his hands around her waist. This was the furthest he had ever gone with a girl, even his kiss with Peggy Carter was short and sweet, even if it did mean a lot at the time.
He didn't like to admit it, not wanting to put down the feelings he harboured for Peggy, but Dita felt so much more important. He had never felt this way about another woman before, even watching her do something as simple as look at him, or laugh had his mind running all over the place. She pulled her dress off and turned to face him, moving closer to him, and pushing her body up against his.
"God you have no idea what you do to me. You have no idea how hard it is for me to resist you. You have to cover yourself up before I go mad" he smiled looking her up and down as she stood there in her underwear.
She reached up to plant another sweet kiss on his lips before climbing under the covers of his bed. He undressed in-front of her, stripping down to just his plain white boxers and slid under the covers next to her. She hooked a leg over him and pulled herself closer to his warm, muscular body, causing him to exhale loudly. He was trying so hard to not excite himself further, but she made it almost impossible to do so. He wrapped his arms around her and watched her eyes began to close.
She laced her fingers through his and rested her head against his chest as they fell asleep together side by side.
The next morning Steve woke to see Dita blanketed over his body like she had done a few days ago. He ran his hands through her red hair and yawned loudly, watching her whole body move as his chest rose up. His yawn seemed to wake her as she yawned almost immediately after him and looked up with a dazed look in her eyes.
"Morning beautiful" she said as she raked her fingers softly over his chest.
He pulled her into a bear hug and dragged her up so her face was level with his own. "You are the beautiful one, Captain Steve Rogers" she grinned.
"Ok, I probably have morning breath, but I'm gonna kiss you anyway because you are just to wonderful that I can't miss out on any opportunity I get to kiss you" he said before kissing her. He quickly realised that morning breath was not an issue when Dita kissed him just as fiercely, rolling around gently as she lay on his body. Steve considered just letting his body respond how it would without trying to cover it up anymore, it was starting to become a frequent occurrence. Surely Dita would just get used to it after a while.
"Why is it every time we kiss a part of your body seems to move slightly against me? It feels hard" she giggled.
Steve blushed, "great" he thought. "She has discovered my secret".
Steve kissed her forehead and ran his fingers through her hair. "Well, remember when I said that there was more we could do. To stop the heat you feel when we kiss. Let's just say, that hard part of me, has something to do with it."
She nodded, a serious expression on her face, he couldn't help but smile knowing that she was trying so hard to understand, this was the first time Steve felt like the experienced one when it came to matters involving sex.
"Ok. Listen, I think the others should know about us, dating for real. Being in a relationship, I don't want to be sneaking around" she said.
He nodded in agreement and they got up to get changed, Dita changing into her usual outfit, Steve in jeans and a checked shirt, and made their way to the dining hall where the rest of the avengers, including Fury were eating breakfast.
"Good morning everyone" Dita said cheerfully. "Steve and I have an announcement to make".
She smiled as she took hold of Steve's hand. "Steve and I, are dating".
Natasha rolled her eyes as Clint seemed as uninterested as ever. Tony and Bruce however smiled widely.
Tony clapped his hands together. "Well, I for one am happy for you guys, nothing spells secure and peaceful relationship more than two active superhero's dating".
Steve ignored the sarcastic comment and nodded once. "Thanks Stark".
Fury however, did not look pleased at all. "Rogers, can I have a word with you? Without Miss Dita present?"
Dita frowned, she didn't want to be left out when Fury was so obviously going to talk about her and Steve together.
"No, anything you say, you can say in front of me" she replied.
Fury hesitated. "Fine" he frowned. "I don't want Dita dating anyone, not this early on, not while she is still training. Dita, you do not need any distractions at this point, you are doing well, spending all your time with Steve will just cause you to slip up and could lead to you getting hurt in future missions. When feelings get involved, things go wrong".
Natasha crossed her arms. "Don't say I didn't tell you that already Dita" she said.
Dita frowned. "I never asked for any of this, I never asked for this life, I didn't ask to be an assassin or an avenger. You made me like you, human, with feelings and senses and normal emotions. So I object to being used as your own personal puppet and not be allowed to have some sort of a life that I want. You can't tell me what I can and can't do".
She looked at Steve for reassurance but when he spoke no words she stormed off, upset that he didn't want to stick up for her.
"Nice going Director Fury" Steve hissed, before going after Dita.
Aww that was just a bit of a fluffy and angst ridden chapter, the next chapter involves Steve and Dita becoming a bit more "intimate". I just wanted to create this chapter to show Dita and Steve's cute little dynamic together and to show that Dita is coming out of her shell a little bit.
