Chapter 6

Lizzy threw her head back, gasping. Her face was covered in sweat, she was absolutely glowing. Bucky was between her legs, kissing her fiercely and stroking her with his hand, she was almost there. He didn't think he'd ever seen anything quite so beautiful. "Bucky! Bucky oh God I'm gonna-

Bucky jolted up with a gasp. He was bathed in sweat; his sheets were a mess. This had been going on for the last week. Ever since that damned party, the night she decided to invade his senses, his mind, his hea- this was all Tony's fault. If Tony hadn't made that stupid dare he wouldn't know what it was like to kiss her, to feel her on top of him, to watch her topless in that skimpy bra, on display just for him- NO. This was all her fault, why couldn't she ever back down from a stupid dare?! Why was she so damned stubborn. He could picture her smug smirk as she pulled away from him, she knew she had just destroyed him and she laughed in his face with those incredibly soft, pink lips and her beautiful smile- NO, this was his fault. He shouldn't have taken the bait. He was trying to tease Lizzy for being a sexless killjoy and instead she tore his peace away.

He had barely slept this past week, each night he stayed up picturing her, half naked, back arched, her neck exposed for him to taste. He tried to take care of himself but no matter how much he masturbated, he found no satisfaction. The more he tried to get her out of his system the more he wanted her, craved her. The worst part was that she didn't seem to know what she had done to him. She walked around in shorts that hugged her ass and t shirts that showed off her cleavage as if that night never happened. She laughed and joked with the rest of the team; she didn't seem to notice when Bucky wanted to strangle Sam for daring to hug her. She didn't talk to him anymore than she used to; less actually, because Bucky actively avoided speaking with her at all. This tiny 5'2 woman had him running around the compound like a child playing hide and seek. Most of the team hadn't noticed, but he saw Natasha's amused smirks whenever he left the room to avoid Lizzy, he noticed Steve's worried glances. Sam was the worst though; when he wasn't teasing Bucky he was flirting with Lizzy or being overly touchy with her just to bother him.

Bucky slammed to the ground, Steve got him square in the jaw. He had been distracted, his eyes on the spot in the gym where Nat and Lizzy were doing yoga (god she was flexible). He heard her laughing and Steve got the best of him while he stared like he'd never seen a woman before.

"Come on man this is just embarrassing," Sam laughed. Bucky glared and threw a punch at him, Sam just managed to jump out of the way. "Hey man don't blame me!" Sam laughed.

Steve jumped in "alright, we've been going on for a while now we should go out and run." Sam's smile dropped, Steve and Bucky always trounced him and Bucky wasn't feeling particularly charitable right now, he would run especially fast today.

Once they got out on the path by the lake Steve began, "you know Bucky if you like Lizzy-"

"I don't," Bucky cut him off.

"Well if you did like her, it would be okay you know. I think the two of you would be really great together, you're more similar than you think," Steve said.

"I'm nothing like her."

"That's exactly what she would say," Sam grinned, "come on man admit you like her."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"You've been in love with her since the moment you met her," Sam shouted before Bucky had a chance to take off running.

"You don't know what you're talking about."

Steve cut in now, "I could see it Buck, you were always staring at her when you thought no one was looking. You were too shy to talk to her at first and then..."

"Then you realized you loved her and you started acting like a jerk because you're afraid of being happy man," Sam butt in.

"You're ridiculous."

"Well something is definitely off, so if it's not Lizzy maybe you've gone too long without getting any. What's it been, a week? That must be a record for you Favio."

"Butt out Sam."

"That's it, we're going out tonight and you're getting a girl because I can't deal with any more of your sulking."

"Fuck off." Bucky started running then.

"See you tonight!" Sam yelled before Steve and Bucky got too far ahead.
