Author's Note:
Another new chapter for your enjoyment. Figure we could use a little bit of joy and what's better than the two lovebirds enjoying their honeymoon. Trigger warnings for a lot of sex and talk about past abuse/rape. As always please review and let me know what you think.
Astrid woke up slowly. Nestled in a cocoon of warmth despite not wearing anything. She was completely wrapped up in Steve. Fully embraced by him. After the second session with Steve, last night the two of them fell asleep. Not even bothering to clean up. She untangled himself from him. Sitting up she stretched out her arms before looking at Steve. Who was also clearly awake and staring at her with a lazy smile on his face.
"You are absolutely gorgeous," he stated also sitting up. He looked good. Actually better than good. Well. He looked well. "I can barely keep my hands off of you."
Astrid licked her lips. Even Steve's words alone could send a thrill down her spine. "Then don't," Astrid responded looking at Steve. "You are my husband. If you want sex just start acting on it. And if I'm not in the mood I'll just tell you." Though she could never imagine herself not being in the mood when it came to Steve. Shamira was right. Sex with the right person was mind-blowing. And she felt safe with Steve. Safer than she had ever felt with any person. Because if she said no she knew, deep in her bones she knew that Steve would listen. Unlike every other person, she had ever been with he would listen.
"The same for you then." He leaned in closer. Lips almost brushing hers. "I want to make sure that my wife is fully satisfied." He attacked her neck and Astrid closed her eyes. Letting out a moan. Despite his inexperience, Steve certainly knew what he was doing. The connection probably helping with that. Being able to feel everything he was feeling as well. There were not any words to describe it in any language. "Ready for another round?" Astrid let him know his answer. Letting her emotions flow between them so that he knew exactly how much she desired him.
He reached down low. Fingers brushing her most sensitive region. She let out a gasp as he reached it. Clutching his shoulders. Definitely a lot bolder than Astrid thought he would be. She heard his breath stutter. "So wet for me already and I haven't even done anything." Her breathing was getting heavier as Steve started playing around. Rubbing slowly. Teasing her. Astrid surged forward kissing him as he continued to slowly tease her.
"Steve, you are driving me insane."
He smirked. "That is the point. But like I've told you I want to make sure that you are satisfied." He picked up the pace and Astrid almost lost her ability to sit upright. If it wasn't for Steve holding her up. She was so close. Digging her fingers into Steve. Definitely going to be leaving bruises. Moaning out his name as she was pushed over the edge. Steve slowing down his pace to a slow tease. She was panting hard, chest heaving. Giving him a playful glare.
"If I knew you were this good we would have done this way before the wedding," she said in her mind. Not wanting to waste the energy on words. "Though I swear Steve. If you don't get on top of me right now I will kill you."
"I'm never one to refuse my best girl." Positioning himself so that he slid right into her. Now it was his turn to moan. "You feel so good." Moving his hands so that they were squeezing her ass. Astrid smirked. It was her turn to be in control now. Teasing both her and him. Building the tension. She felt that Steve wouldn't last long. Which was exactly what she wanted. Picking up her pace. She was going to hold back on teasing Steve. Now was not the time for it anyway. Needed to build up his endurance. After all, they had an entire lifetime together.
Though she felt exactly what he was feeling. How good it felt, how happy and excited and most importantly in love he was. She felt his tension build as she danced her fingers tips along his arms. How it was driving him wild when she thrust herself on him. Astrid wasn't able to hold back. Chasing her own release as well as his. It wasn't long until Steve finished along with Astrid. Both of them panting on the bed. Lying next to each other. After a moment of catching her breath, she leaned over Steve and nuzzled their noses together before Astrid rolled out of bed. Tying a nearby robe around herself. Shamira and Winnifred really did think of everything. Which was a good thing as Astrid could barely think straight. Being with Steve got her all muddled.
"Where do you think you're going?" Steve asked sitting up.
Astrid threw him a glance over her shoulder. "Making waffles. We should eat something before we decide what to do with the rest of the day."
Steve smirked. "You had plans other than stay in bed all day?" He slowly stood up and walked towards Astrid. Taking her hands gently into his and kissing them softly. "I plan on making you feel indescribable pleasure for the next three days at least."
That almost made Astrid jump back in bed with him but they did need to eat. She kissed him on the cheek. "You get yourself cleaned up and after waffles, we can get back in bed." She gave him a long kiss. Breaking it off with a sigh. "I'm not the only one who'll be feeling indescribable pleasure." Astrid kissed him softly one more time before heading off to the kitchen. Steve heading to the bathroom.
She started making waffles. Separating the dry and wet ingredients. Mixing those together. Getting out the waffle iron. Soon the smell of waffles was wafting through the kitchen. Astrid placing the cooked waffles on a plate. Looking up and seeing Steve leaning in the doorway. Wearing a pair of boxers.
Astrid chuckled shaking her head fondly. "How long have you been standing there?"
"Since you got out the waffle iron," Steve answered walking up to her.
She shook her head smiling. "You could have said something."
"I didn't want to interrupt." He wrapped an arm around her waist as she continued making waffles. Leaning into her. "I wanted to take a moment to watch my wife make breakfast for the first time." Astrid almost dropped the plate of waffles. She was fairly sure she married the sweetest man in the world. Pretty soon all the batter was used up and all the waffles made. Astrid floating everything to the table. Steve still keeping an arm around her.
The two of them sat down at the table. A mountain of waffles before them. She may have gone a little overboard. But she had a soft spot for waffles. Astrid sitting at one end and Steve at another. The heads of the table.
Steve gave her a smile as she floated waffles to his plate. "You make a good breakfast Dr. Rogers."
Astrid blushed. Her new name making her giddy. "You haven't even tried it yet."
"I don't need to. You made it." He picked up a fork and took his first bite. Closing his eyes. "Heavenly."
Astrid rolled her eyes until she tried it herself. Wow, she actually did make really good waffles. She was about halfway through her second one when Steve interrupted. Looking slightly nervous
"What are the chances of you being pregnant after all that we've done?"
Astrid choked on the piece of waffle. Taking a moment to swallow it. Steve was about to launch himself out of his seat when Astrid beckoned for him to sit back down. Allowing her to take another moment to process exactly what he asked.
"Well um, Steve. I'm using protection. Of my own design. So, the chance of me getting pregnant is really really low." Her mind started going in a million directions. "Unless you want me to be pregnant. I probably have something in my kit that would increase fertility."
Steve shook his head. "I wanted to make sure that you weren't. Unless you want kids right now. Because I would be okay with it."
Astrid shook her head. They probably should have had this conversation before getting married but now was a good time as any. She waited for Steve to continue.
"I don't think we should have kids until after the war is over." He let out a sigh. "If I'm killed in action, the last thing I want is for you to raise our kids alone. I watched my mom struggle." He shook his head. "I don't want to put you through that." Astrid gave him a fond smile. He was still going to try and enlist. But he wouldn't be Steve if he stopped trying.
She let out a sigh of relief. "I'm so happy you said that." He looked at her puzzled. She cocked her head to the side. "We are both still really young and I'm still working on my career. We can wait on having kids for a few years. Besides I want to spend at least a year being husband and wife before we worry about kids."
Steve blushed slightly. Looking somewhat bashful. "But in the meantime, we don't have to worry?"
"No, we don't have to worry." The two of them got up and lunged at each other. Dishes laying forgotten as they took off what little clothing they had on. Finding themselves in a tangled mess of limbs on the bed. Laughing together. Steve's hair damp with sweat when there were finished but the look in his eyes. Filled with such joy. Astrid was making sure they were taking it slow for him though she knew they were pushing it.
That was proven by the mid-afternoon where Steve was overcome by fatigue. Curled up into Astrid while she flicked through a book that she brought. Reading softly to him. It was one of his favorites. The Hobbit. Her other hand running through his hair. Before she was interrupted by a thought.
"You think the bathtub is big enough for two people?" Astrid asked putting down the book.
"Probably." Even his thoughts seemed tired. She ruffled his hair and managed to peel herself away from him. Going to the bathroom and running the bath. Once the water was sufficiently warm Astrid went back to get Steve. Picking him up gently in her arms. He was as light as a feather. A fact that didn't exactly make Astrid happy but made him easier to carry. He blinked blearily at her before nestling into her shoulder.
Astrid placed him in the tub first before getting in next. It was just big enough for the two of them. If Steve was any bigger than it probably wouldn't have worked. She let out a sigh as her body hit the warm water. Closing her eyes and relaxing. Letting her body soak in the heat until she felt a spike of pleasure down below?
"Steve? What are you?" He brushed over her nub again sending spikes of pleasure through her body.
He gave her a lazy smile. "Just fulfilling one of your desires." He flicked over it again causing her to groan. Though it had more to do with intimacy rather than pleasure. The connection deepening the feelings between the two of them. They started kissing each other softly while Steve played with her. Explored her. At an absolute snail crawl pace. Resting his head on her shoulder.
Astrid wasn't sure how long he was at it. Though the water was starting to feel a tad cold she didn't want to get out.
"You are such a tease," she thought. "A very good tease but a tease none the less."
Steve sighed looking up at her. "You want me to stop being a tease?"
"At this point, I would give anything." Astrid had spent most of the time on the edge. Not enough to push her through to the end. "Please, Steve."
"Well, I can't say no to you." Though instead of picking up his pace Steve did something Astrid didn't expect. Crooking one of his fingers he slipped it inside of her and started rubbing that bundle of nerves.
If Astrid was quite honest with herself she wasn't quite sure what happened next as the waves of pleasure rushed through her. When she gained some awareness of her surroundings Steve was panting hard into her chest. Gripping onto her shoulders while she rubbed his back. If it took a lot out of her then she couldn't imagine what it did to Steve. The connection between them was really strong after all.
Picking him up and carrying him to the bedroom she floated a towel along with them. Wrapping Steve up in it before placing him on the bed. His breathing was a little shallow and he was clearly exhausted.
"You could have warned me," he thought not having the energy for words.
"I didn't know myself." She crawled into bed with him. Removing the towel once they were both dry and pulling the covers up around them. "Maybe we should take it easy for a little while."
"Maybe." Steve clearly wasn't happy with the idea but he also realized he might not have any choice in the matter. "I just.." He closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again. "I just want to make sure that you are satisfied. That I'm doing a better job than every other person you've been with."
It was Astrid's turn to close her eyes and take a deep breath. She knew this would come up and she was ready for it. Opening up her eyes and looking at her husband. Curled up in her arms. "Steve… you're the only person I've been with that has ever brought me pleasure. Everyone else I've been with. They were more focused on their own pleasure than mine. I was just a tool for them to use. With you, I actually feel human. With you, I actually get to go all the way and not left feeling completely unsatisfied and used." She looked at tears that pooled in his eyes. "So, don't push yourself so hard my love. You don't have anything to prove." She wiped away the tears before kissing his eyelids. Barely grazing them before lying down. Wrapping her arms around him and his wrapped around her. Allowing them to stare into each other's eyes. Steve playing with her hair. Twirling it around his finger.
"I'm just want to make sure that you are happy. That it's everything that you expected."
"Right now I'm the happiest woman in the universe and it's more than I ever dreamed. You've blown past my expectations." Steve gave her a huge smile. Snuggling even closer into her.
"I'm so glad that we found each other. Or if you want to be more accurate, I'm glad that Bucky forced me to go on that double date."
Astrid chuckled. "I'm glad you stuck around even after I was running late."
"Well, Shamira kinda held us, hostage, until you showed up." He smirked. "You were definitely worth the wait."
"I would hope so at this point." The two of them continued to softly talk to each other. Letting the love flow through them. And neither of them could be happier.
