Steve looked my way when I walked back in the room, I gave him the thumbs up sign and he smiled, knowing it meant that I had smoothed everything over. Bucky followed me, carrying the take out menus, spreading them out on the table for us to look at. We finally settled on ordering pizza from a place only a few blocks away…they delivered so we didn't even have to leave the apartment. When I got off the phone with the restaurant I noticed Steve browsing my DVD collection. I saw something catch his eye on the bottom shelf and I moved to grab it before he could. Unfortunately, he was much quicker than I was, "What do you we have here? Is this a photo album?" He said, with a teasing smile on his face, moving out of my reach

Bucky had just walked back in the room and saw Steve holding the photo album above his head, just out of my reach. He had an amused look on his face…I'm sure he was thinking about the day that he had done the same thing to me with his phone and that video that Jill and Brooke had sent him.

"Look Buck! Pictures!" he said, twisting away from me and taking a seat on the couch. Bucky smiled and took the spot next to him, smirking at me as he walked by.

I groaned loudly and sat on the floor in front of Bucky, leaning back against his legs. When Steve saw that I was willing to show them the pictures, he handed the album to me so I could point out and explain things to them. We spent the next 30 minutes flipping through each page. Most of the pictures were of me, Jill, and Brooke. Me posing with Jill at her cheerleading competition…my arms wrapped around Brooke the time she won the Young Artist Award…prom, graduation…on and on they went. Each picture had a story behind it and before long I had Steve and Bucky laughing loudly. When we heard the knock at the door, neither of them moved to answer it…they were too engrossed in the photo album. I got up from my spot to pay for the food. After I tipped the delivery guy he handed me two huge boxes of pizza.

Good God, these two can eat!

I walked back into the room and sat the pizza's down on the coffee table…they were still absorbed in the album so I went to the kitchen to grab napkins and drinks. When I came back in the living room I stopped to watch them. It was nice to see the two of them interact with each other. You could tell that even after all they had been through that they still cared for one another just as much as they had when they were growing up together in Brooklyn. I knew the tables had turned greatly. Bucky had always been the confident, self-assured one growing up…tall, handsome, and good with the ladies. Bucky had always looked out for Steve, who was constantly picked on because of his short stature and goody two shoe ways. Now Steve was Captain America…a national hero…loved and admired for the last 70 years. It didn't seem to bother Bucky though…from what I could gather from our conversations, he was proud of the man Steve had become and honored to be his friend.

I sat back down on the floor and wiggled between Bucky's legs, leaning back to see what picture they were on. They were at the very last page, the picture of the three of us posing with our brand new tattoos…freshly graduated, smiling at the camera. Bucky placed his hand on my shoulder and began rubbing the spot where my dandelion tattoo was and my mind wandered to earlier in the day when he had kissed the skin so delicately before I took my bubble bath. I shivered at the memory and I looked up at Bucky. I could tell by the look in his eyes that he knew exactly what I was thinking.

It was Steve that finally said, "Okay, let's choose a movie and eat…I'm starving" He got up to put the album back where he found it and continued looking through my shelves for a good movie.

I jumped up from my spot to join him in searching for the right movie, "It has to be a scary movie" I insisted.

"Why?" he asked, glancing my way with a smile.

"Because those are the best ones, silly" I finally selected The Possession of Emily Rose. I hadn't seen it since it came out and neither of them had seen it at all. I turned on the movie but didn't turn off the lights yet. I sat on the floor while we ate, enjoying the feeling of Bucky absentmindedly rubbing my shoulder with one hand while he ate his pizza with the other. Once the two of them had finished off both boxes of pizza, I paused the movie to throw away the boxes and napkins. I finally turned off all the lights before jumping on the couch between the two of them and snuggling up to Bucky. I pressed the play button and leaned over Bucky to place the remote on the table by his side. I felt his hand graze my stomach when I went to sit back down and from the smirk on his face, I could tell it was intentional.

I stuck my tongue out and curled up beside him, laying my head on his chest. I could smell my "Garden of Eden" shampoo in his hair and it brought a smile to my lips thinking about him in my shower…naked…

Stop EDEN!

Once the movie was over, we chatted a bit before Steve announced he needed to get home. When he asked Bucky if he wanted to go for a run the next morning, Bucky hesitated. I answered for him, "Of course he would" Bucky looked like he wanted to argue with me but I stopped him before he could get a word out, "Bucky, I'll be fine, you won't be gone that long. Besides, after all that pizza the two of you just ate, you both need to go for a run"

Steve chuckled and looked at Bucky, "We can do a late morning run…10:00am?"

Bucky looked at me one more time before he nodded his head, "Okay, I'll see you then"

I walked Steve to the door and gave him a big hug, "We should do this again on Saturday…Brooke can join us"

Steve eyes lit up when I suggested it and he eagerly nodded his head, "That sounds like fun"

I watched him walk down the hallway, a little spring in his step and smiled to myself before shutting and locking the door.

When I turned around, Bucky was standing behind me, waiting to wrap me up in his arms.

"That was fun" I said, hugging him tightly.

"Mmmhmm"

"You ready for bed?" I asked

I felt him nod his head, "Yes…especially since someone had to wake me up from my nap earlier. That was the first real sleep I'd had in 3 days…the couch at the hospital was terrible"

I frowned at him, "Why didn't you say something? I told you that you didn't have to sleep there"

He bent down and kissed me on the forehead, "Because I wanted to be there for you"

I smiled, pleased with his answer, "You go ahead and get in the bed; I'm just going to throw those cups in the dishwasher"

He yawned and turned to head to my bedroom. I went into the kitchen and cleaned up everything before turning the lights off and heading to my room. I saw his pants and shirt folded neatly on the chair near my bed. The lamp on my side of the bed was turned on but the rest of the lights were off. His eyes were closed so I tried to be quiet when I went to the bathroom to wash my face and teeth. I was actually disappointed…I had wanted him to see my sexy bra and panties set.

Maybe next time Eden. I mean the poor guy just told you he hadn't slept In 3 days.

Once I left the bathroom, I walked silently to my dresser, pulling off my shirt as I went and tossing it into the laundry hamper. I slid the jeans down my legs and those too were thrown in. I quietly opened the drawer and pulled out a tank top and pair of shorts to sleep in….I laid them on the dresser and then reached around to undo my bra. I jumped when I felt a hand snake around my stomach. Bucky hadn't made a sound when he got out of bed and made his way over to me.

"I thought you were asleep"

"How was I supposed to sleep when you're prancing around in this" he said, sliding one hand up to cup one breast, rubbing the sheer fabric with his hands. I squirmed at his touch and pushed myself against him, inwardly screaming with joy when I felt him hard and ready behind me. I opened my eyes to see my reflection in the mirror of my dresser. I watched in the mirror as Bucky slid his hand from my breast and back down my stomach. He caught my eye in the reflection before sliding his hand under the silky material of my panties. I leaned my head back on his chest and shivered…one finger slid in slowly and then another. My knees almost gave out when his thumb found my clit and started to rub in deliberate circles.

"Bucky, stop!" I groaned. "The bed…please…I can't keep standing" He slid his fingers out of my panties and reached for the hooks of my bra, unsnapping it and sliding it from my shoulder. He spun me around and pushed me towards the bed…I laid back and watched as he slid his boxers down.

Oh God! Super soldier is the right word for him!

He leaned forward onto the bed and I felt his hands on my legs, running his fingers across my skin. When I felt lips on my thighs, kissing me slowly, I gasped. He eased his fingers up to my panties and pulled them down my legs slowly, a smile on his face as he threw them to the side. The moment his tongue found my swollen clit and began the slow circles once again, I was gone. I reached a hand down and twisted my fingers into his hair...he knew exactly what he was doing. Each lick…each flick of his tongue, was perfectly calculated to get the desired response from me. I whimpered when he stopped and pulled away but was instantly rewarded with the feel of him pushing my legs further apart. My moans must have excited him because there was nothing slow about it when he pushed himself inside of me. His pace was quicker than before and a little rougher. He reached down to cup my breasts in his hands…he squeezed my nipples and cut my moan off when his lips crashed into mine. I felt his tongue enter my mouth and I eagerly met his with my own. I felt the tingle start in the pit of my stomach, "Bucky I'm close"

He pulled back from my lips and pushed himself deeper into me, each thrust pushing me closer and closer towards my orgasm. I dug my nails into his back when it finally hit me, calling out his name. He thrust harder, trying to keep the pace steady but as his climax neared, it became wilder. He moaned my name loudly as he came; pumping in and out of me until finally he could thrust no more. He rolled off of me, his chest heaving up and down…trying to catch his breath. I rolled over on my side and watched him as he tried to steady his breathing.

"Wanna do that again?" I asked, teasingly, sliding my finger down his chest.

"Woman! Give me a few minutes to recover and I could easily do that again!" he growled, pulling me in for a kiss.

We both knew there was no way we were going for Round Two. Like Bucky had said earlier, he hadn't slept in 3 days and as for myself, well I'm not super soldier, I needed sleep. We cuddled up next to each other and fell fast asleep.
