Chapter 38

I stirred awake thinking everything that happened last night was a dream...an amazing dream but a dream none the less until I felt my head laying on something hard, I open my eyes and look up and I am laying on Steve's shoulder, he is awake looking down at me. I am so relieved, I smile and kissed where his shoulder and neck met.

"Morning," He spoke quietly.

"Umm, morning." I sighed as the previous night kept repeating in my head.

He ran the back of his hand down my cheek sweetly, I close my eyes loving the feeling of his gentle touch, I kiss his fingers softly as he runs his hand over my lips and he began rubbing my upper arm that was laying on him as I begin to rub his chest softly as I gave him light kisses on his chest as well. It felt so good to feel him again and by the way he closed his eyes and sighed quietly he enjoyed feeling mine too.

"Iris?" He asked with his eyes closed, "Huh?" I hummed as I continued giving him light rubs and kisses on his chest.

"What made you change your mind? I mean, you seemed so sure that you needed time and I was going to respect that." He asked me, I stopped what I was doing and looked at him.

"I know you were...let's just say someone helped me realize I was making a big mistake and what I was about to give up." I told him.

"Who?" He asked confused of who it could be.

"Natasha...she called to say that so far we're in the clear and I started to talk about us...and she...she told me to stop being selfish and stop thinking about myself."

"She said that? Iris...you weren't..." He started to say not happy with Natasha at all but I cut him off by putting my fingers over his mouth.

"Yes I was...she was right...I wasn't thinking about what you've been through this past year..." I told him, "And...I wanted to be with you more then anything...but I was doing what I always do when I get scared and things get too intense I push you away...Don't be mad at her, she just helped me realize that I was about to make the biggest mistake of my life." I finished.

"Well...for the record I don't think you were..." He said with a smile.

"Thank you but...I was." I smiled back and he put his hand on my face and brought my lips to his in a very sweet and gentle kiss.

"What do we do now?" I asked as I pull away from him.

"I don't know...every time I think we might have something it turns out to be a deadend." He explained, "But the good thing is that your safe and they can't hurt you now. Sam said you can stay here as long as you need."

"You'll find something...I know it...you'll take down Hydra and everyone will find out the truth." I said with conviction.

"How do you know?" He asked.

"Because your Captain America, you've done it before and you can do it again.

"Iris...I am not Captain America anymore...I haven't seen I left." He said sadly looking down.

"Yes you are...you don't realize it but you never stopped...you just took a little detour is all." I replied grabbing his face with both hands, "You are an amazing man Steve Rogers and everyone will know the truth." I looked in his eyes as he gave me a little smile.

"So Nicholas Hoffman, that guy that attacked you, the one that posed as a student...were you seeing him?" He asked suddenly.

"What if I was?" I answered seriously, I wanted to tease him a little bit.

"So, you were going out with him? How long?" He asked quickly, I could tell he was trying not to show that he was upset.

"Just about a month or so." I continue to fib, "Steve, are you jealous?" I ask with a smile.

"No, of course not, I mean you had every right to date other people, I just don't know why that guy. I mean even if he wasn't a Hydra spy he clearly didn't deserve you." He was talking fast continuing trying to not seem upset but failing miserably, I start to giggle from his rambling.

"Steve, I am joking. Of course I wasn't going out with him." I say with a smile.

"You weren't?"

"No, I mean he asked me out all the time but we were just study partners." I explain, stopping with the teasing. Wanting to be serious I roll completely on him, putting one of my hands on his face, "I couldn't date anyone else...because even if I couldn't admit it...I was always yours." I say softly.

He didn't say a word, he put both hands on my face kissing me, it was so soft and gentle but with so much passion, we both are holding each other's faces. I bring my free hand down and stroke his shaft a few times and insert it in me and begin to ride him slowly. We are both moaning very softly as we continue to kiss with his hands on my face and mine on the back of his head. He suddenly puts both arms around me and hugs me tight while I continue to ride him. We are moving so slow and so intimate. I'm arching my back while he is going so deep inside me, our bodies are just rubbing against each other, I can feel every muscle on my body. We both cum and I throw my head back and he kisses my neck, I run my fingers through his hair and massage his scalp with my fingernails. He suddenly stops for a second, forces me to look at him by putting his hands on my face, looks me right in the eyes, "I love you Iris." He breathes.

"I love you too Steve." I repeat as a few tears go down my cheeks. He whips my tears with his thumbs and kisses me again as we continue to make love.

Afterwards we are just laying there, loving the the feeling of holding each other, "Are you hungry? Want some breakfast?" He asks me softly after a few minutes, I nod my head.

He puts on some bottoms and I don't even bother, I just put the sheet around my body as we go into the kitchen. While he is making breakfast I can't help but keep looking at the countertop where he had pleasured me so much. I bit my lower lip trying to contain myself, we had just made love 10 minutes ago, I have got to control myself!

"Can I help?" I ask him.

"I don't know...you do have a track record for burning food..." He teases me.

"Maybe if you help me I won't."

"Come here..." He exhales as he motions for me to come to him with his hand. I was starting to stand beside him but he moved me right in front of him at the counter. He puts his arms over mine and helps me pour the ingredients for the pancakes. He has me stir the pancake mix, I can feel his arms flex and its getting harder to contain myself. He soon has me move a little bit while he puts the mix in the pan and starts to cook them.

"How do I know the pancakes are ready to be flipped?" I ask right beside him.

"Well a good trick is if there are bubbles coming up. " He tells me, he flips one over and it is indeed perfectly brown.

I have been trying so hard to contain myself but my body wouldn't stop tingling from his hard, muscled body rubbing against mine, and I had to feel him again. I swear, he knew what he was doing and was teasing me! While he is making the pancakes I go behind him and start kissing the back of his neck while I rub his shoulders/arms sensually.

"You know...it's very hard to do this while your doing that!" He sighs.

"I can't help it...you had to go and turn me on and I just can't stop thinking about you fucking me right here on this counter." I breathe in his ear as I suck on his earlobe.

I take off the sheet I am wearing so I can press my breasts against his back. I put one of my arms around him and rub his chest, I go lower and put my hand in his bottoms and start stroking his shaft and with my other hand I also put it down his bottoms but instead from behind and stroke his ass at the same time, he throws his head back a little and groans and he reaches his arm behind him and puts his hand in my hair and rubs my head. He turns his head and I lick his lips before he sucks on my bottom lip as I continue to stroke his shaft. Suddenly we smell something and the smoke detectors go off.

"Shit." He breathes out, I move away and put the sheet back over me and all I can do is cough and giggle, the pancakes were burnt to a crisp!

"You think this is funny?" He asks me as he turns off the smoke detector and puts the burnt pancakes in the sink.

"Yes...now you know how it feels to be distracted and burn food." I tease, he puts a little bit of the pancake batter on his finger and puts it on my nose, I just giggle.

We sat at the counter finally able to eat our breakfast, luckily Steve could make some more! I was so proud of myself that I was able to distract him for once!

"You burnt the food!" I teased.

"Because of you." He defended.

"That's why I always burn food too...because of you."

"Um no, I have never fingered you while you tried to cook."

"Fair enough...but you were the one that stuck your tongue down my throat...not that I'm complaining." I say with an evil grin, he couldn't argue that.

We are still just sitting at the counter just talking, we had long ate our food and were just talking about the year we had.

"I can't believe you're already working with kids." He says with a smile.

"Yeah...the kids are great...I don't know how I am going to let my Professor know that I can't come..." I just realized.

"We'll work something out...don't worry." He tells me, rubbing my hand. "So, it's just the two girls you talk to?"

"Yeah, Molly and Emma...I just ended my sessions with Molly and Emma has...or had a few more. You would love them, they're so sweet and funny."

"I bet I would."

"They would freak out if I told them that it was you that I was with." I say smiling to myself just thinking about their reactions.

"I'm sure they're fine just having you be there for them." He says sweetly.

"It's all because of you, you know...I was so nervous and kept doubting myself but...you always were in my head telling me that I could do this."

"No, that wasn't me...that was you." He says with force, "I'm so proud of you." He says taking my hand and intertwining our fingers.

"Thank you." I spoke softly, Steve has been the only person in my life to tell me that they are proud of me, it always took me off guard when he did. I smile and give him a quick kiss.

"Want to go for a walk?" He asks me.

"I thought we couldn't leave?" I ask confused.

"Well we can't go too far but we're in the middle of nowhere, it won't hurt to walk a little bit." He says.

"Okay."

We change our clothes and go on a nice walk together while we hold hands the whole time.

Hopefully you liked this chapter, I know not much happened but I thought they both deserved to enjoy each other for a little bit and reminisce.
