Chapter XXX
Lucy awoke with soft kisses being pressed to the back of her neck. She was so unused to the sensation that for a moment she thought she was back in France in her and Daniel's home.
But as she felt the scruffiness of the man who was leaving said kisses Lucy smiled. She groaned in protest of waking up, hating the idea of having to leave the warm bed and the man beside her.
"Ten more minutes," She sighed sleepily with closed eyes. She had never been much of a morning person. One of life's greatest pleasures was sleeping in, and on a day off Lucy would happily stay asleep well past noon. However, since joining the army, sleeping in was a luxury that rarely took place. If she wasn't awake from the massive amount of work she had to get done, then it was noisiness of the base camp that usually woke her up.
She preferred being awoken by the man sleeping beside her though. Although she was tired, nothing made her happier than feeling his soft kisses trailing up her skin.
"Rise and shine, pigeon." Bucky chuckled, touching her hip lightly, "We gotta get a move on today."
"No," Lucy protested and turned on her side, taking the blankets with her. "Ten more minutes,"
"You sure I can't convince you somehow to wake up?"
"Shhhh." Lucy shushed him with her eyes still closed. She wasn't ready to face the day yet. Yesterday had been exhausting and she could use the extra few minutes of rest.
Between her legs she could feel the next day soreness after being thoroughly fucked. Lucy smiled in her sleep again as she thought about what trouble she and Bucky had gotten up to the night before.
"Up and at it, sweetheart." Bucky tapped her hip again, trying to wake her up.
"James Barnes, I'm crazy about you. But if you try to wake me up again before ten minutes are up, I'm going to rip off that beautiful penis of yours."
"But then what would have for breakfast?" He nuzzled her neck, a light chuckle leaving his lips.
That woke Lucy up, her eyes shot open and she frowned, creasing her brow and looking at him with an annoyed scowl. She glared at him and Bucky quickly made a face that acknowledged he misspoke and he held up his hands in surrender, "Doll, I'm only teasing!" He said hastily, noticing her ferocity.
Lucy huffed and then snuggled back under the blankets, closing her eyes, "Better be, we don't joke about breakfast."
"No, never again. I am so sorry," He laughed as he kissed her cheek, "God, you are terrifying."
"Mmhm," Lucy hummed again and yawned sleepily, "And don't you forget it."
Bucky kissed her jawline and his hands went up and down her sides, he sighed as he admitted carefully, "Honestly darlin', you scare the hell out of me." His hands wandered until they reached between her legs. Lucy's eyes shot open again as her dress was suddenly around her hips, leaving her exposed to him. His kisses went further down to her neck where he sucked on her delicate skin, "But it turns me on so damn much," He admitted.
Lucy chuckled lowly, "Oh yeah?"
"Mmm," Bucky hummed as he finally kissed her, his hand in her jaw holding her face still, his other hand running through her folds and teasing her, "I love when you boss me around." He rolled her over so she was on his back and he crawled over top of her.
Their mouths clashed hungrily as their lips finally met. Lucy greedily took him in, contentedness and happiness settling in her stomach. She never knew she could feel quite like this. Their teeth scraped along each other, a desperate filling the both of them as their tongues met. Lucy sighed through the blissful kiss, feeling as Bucky ran his fingers through her arousal.
Her hands tangled in his messy hair as he rested on top of her, her legs opening up to cradle his hips between them.
"Bucky," She whispered as he kissed down her narrow throat, his hand still placed between their two bodies, coaxing more arousal to drip from her. "Fuck, I need you so much."
"I love when you beg for me like this," He whispered before attacking her neck again. Lucy arched her back as two of his fingers slipped inside of her, causing pleasure to well deep within her core.
"Please," She pleaded quietly as she attempted to get his boxers down his hips. She needed him inside her yet again, to be completely joined and moving with one another.
"Gotta take care of my best girl first," He said lowly, creating a deep ache to form in Lucy's lower stomach. He captured her lips once more harshly, their teeth clashing yet again before trailing his mouth down. He made sure to administer gentle kisses to her breasts as he pulled the top of her dress down to expose her to the cold air.
He didn't spend much time there though like he did the night before. Instead, he continued downwards to between her thighs. Lucy felt a deep blush settle in her cheeks again at the thought of him spending more time down there. She still wasn't totally comfortable with the idea, but the prospect of once again being brought to climax as she did the night before was not something she could ignore.
Bucky placed both her thighs over his shoulder as his tongue gently met with her womanhood. Lucy had to cover her mouth to keep from moaning too loudly. Her hips began to have a mind of their own, desperate to take him in further. He placed a strong arm over her hips to hold her steady, lightly chuckling at her desperation.
"This is heaven," Lucy sighed with a little mewl as Bucky continued to move his tongue around her clit. Suddenly she was ripped out of her euphoria as a loud voice rang out.
"Hey, love birds! Ride and shine, we're burnin' daylight!" Dugan quickly knocked on the door, his voice irritating Lucy to her very essence as he interrupted them. Her cheeks turned the deepest shade of red there ever was from embarrassment and frustration.
"Oh god," She whispered in horror as Bucky's head separated from her she nearly cried, "It's hell."
Bucky arose from between her legs and she wanted to cry even more than she already did. She pushed his head back down, begging for more and Bucky chuckled, "Sorry, sweetheart," He gave between her legs a soft kiss, teasing her once more and making her whine before he emerged, "I promise I'll take care of you later."
Lucy huffed in frustration, knowing his promise was empty since they would have to move out soon and there was nothing to be done then.
"No, now." She whined, making Bucky chuckle.
"Who woulda ever known Dr. Lucy Heinrich was so needy?"
"You tell anyone and I'll kill you," She said as he came up and kissed her hard on the mouth.
"I don't doubt it, baby." Bucky said lowly with a chuckle before capturing her mouth again. He couldn't stop kissing her if he even tried. He was addicted to it at that point, needing it in order to function.
As he came up to meet Lucy he stayed there and just looked at her. He never noticed how she had tiny freckles below her eyes. Lucy's eyes met his and she gave Bucky a small smile. Her hand went to his cheek where she gently with her thumb rubbed his skin.
"You need a shave," He was almost growing a light full beard at that point.
"I haven't exactly found time in the last couple days," Bucky rubbed his face, noticing that she was right. But he didn't mind it, and she didn't seem to mind either.
Lucy looked at him and the longer she did she nearly lost her breath. "You're beautiful," Was all she could say.
"That's my line." Bucky said with a half smile.
She only rubbed his cheek again with her thumb. Her soft skin brushing over the scratchiness of his facial hair. She leaned forward to place a small kiss on his lips. Now that they had finally kissed after it had taken them so long to do so, Lucy didn't think she could ever stop.
"Up and at 'em, doll." Bucky tapped her hip and Lucy groaned and threw her head back in complaint, "None of that!" He chuckled and pressed his mouth to her cheek sweetly, "We have a job to do."
"I suppose you're right." Lucy huffed in frustration. She hated he was right.
"One more smooch for the road?" Bucky asked with a cocked eyebrow.
Lucy intended it to be sweet and chaste, but Bucky had another idea. He slid his tongue in her mouth once she opened up just enough to let him in. He grabbed the back of her head and kept her there so she couldn't move even if she had wanted to. Which, obviously, she did not want to.
Lucy grabbed his shoulders and pulled him into her, their tongues colliding with one another.
She placed her knee between his legs and felt him harden. Bucky stiffened at the pressure and then pulled away, looking at her smug face.
"No, no. Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do, you minx." He kissed her neck gently.
"Ugh fine, it was worth the shot." She huffed with a sigh and rolled her eyes. Bucky got off of her and stood up, stretching ever so slightly.
Lucy got up out of the bed and walked to the closet where there were two dresses in there still hanging.
As Bucky dressed he watched her as she strode across the room. His eyes were drawn to her figure that was still clad in the nightdress she was wearing before. He put his pants back on and as he did up his belt Lucy caught his gaze. She rose and eyebrow at him after having caught him staring.
"The sight of you in silk," Bucky looked up and down at her with a hungry stare. "A goddamn masterpiece." He couldn't tear his gaze from her form. He felt himself just getting turned on by the sight of her and he knew he should look away but he couldn't.
Lucy only smiled and looked down at the silk dress, "I missed wearing pretty things like this. Too bad it's not practical to wear it all the time."
"It's not practical," Bucky came up behind her after putting on his shirt. He rubbed her shoulders up and down as Lucy looked at the dresses in the closet and bit her lip. He attached his lips to her neck and trailed them down, "Because if I saw you struttin' around in that thing I'd be on top of you in an instant."
"Well," Lucy clicked her tongue and turned around to press her lips to his softly, Bucky tried to make the kiss last longer but Lucy pulled away. He almost groaned in annoyance, suddenly wishing he could take her back to bed. "Can't have that, can we?" She asked with a smug face.
"No we can't," Was all Bucky said in agreement before forcing himself to tear away from her and gather his socks and boots and put them on. He looked at her once more before finally saying, "One day when this is finally over I'm gonna get you as many silk dresses as you want."
She looked over at him with a smirk and then with a suggestively raised eyebrow ask, "So you can just jump me whenever you want?"
"Exactly," Bucky said with a wink before leaving her to get some privacy. Lucy only rolled her eyes, but couldn't stop herself from smiling.
Lucy had a nervous pit in her stomach after she got dressed. She had put on the long sleeved simple dress that was hanging in the closet. She had unfortunately had to leave her own uniform behind in the castle, and would have to wait to try to find something more practical to wear.
What she was nervous about though, was seeing the men. It was obvious what had happened the night before between her and Bucky, and she was prepared to have them say some awful things.
However, it didn't make it any easier to deal with. And not to mention, they would likely respect her even less than they already did.
As Lucy walked down the stairs, she felt all eyes in her as she descended down. However, she refused to let them know how uncomfortable she was. Instead, she put on a brave, unemotional face. She felt as though they all had something on their mind, given the fact they were all looking at her.
"Anyone have anything they want to say to me?" Lucy demanded, her face stoic and her tone serious.
"You're looking good this morning Doc, well rested and such," Dugan said with a smirk as he sipped his coffee.
"Yes well, I had a wonderful sleep." She said with the smallest trace of a smirk, her eyes flashed to Bucky before saying, "I had quite a rigorous workout last night."
"Geez!" Gabe Jones choked on his coffee as he laughed at her implication, shock evident in his voice from what she said. Even though she could tease about it to try to fit in, she hoped no one would take it too far.
"Good morning," Bucky said as Lucy came up to him at the counter and he passed her a tin cup filled with coffee. He realized he never got the chance to actually say it to her.
"Good morning indeed," She smiled smugly. She couldn't keep herself from being in a good mood, already that morning as was practically glowing from how happy she was.
Bucky gave her a look that made her nearly go crazy. Their hands brushed as he gave her the coffee cup. "You look beautiful," Lucy took a sip and then reached down to pinch his ass before she left. She figured no one had seen and she could be slightly affectionate. How Lucy lasted so long without kissing or touching him was a mystery.
"Jesus, you two," Whitney only rolled his eyes, nursing a hangover, "It's too early to be showing public displays of affection," He burped ever so slightly, looking a little green, "I'm already feeling like I'm about to vomit without watching you hump each other."
Lucy only pursed her lips together, "Well Whitney, if you hadn't drunk yourself into a stupor last night perhaps your wouldn't be feeling - and looking - like such shit. I'm sorry I have no sympathy for you."
"You're the reason I drink, darlin." He held up his coffee in a salute to her.
"It's Doctor," She glared at him.
"Sarg calls you pet names." Whitney cocked his eyebrow, challenging hers
"'Sarg'," Lucy mimicked him, "Can call me whatever he wants,"
"Favourites." Whitney nodded as if he understood, "I see how it is. You sleep with a guy once and suddenly everything has changed. I wonder if that was me up there instead of him if you'd be letting me do whatever I wanted too."
"Whitney, why are you such a fucking prick?" Lucy ended up crossing her arms and glaring at him. She saw from the corner of her eye how Bucky had tensed up from Whitney's words. However he didn't intervene, he let Lucy fight her own battles. "Did your mom and dad not love you enough as a child or something?"
"No, but I'm assuming yours didn't." Lucy paled at his words. He gave her a sinister smile, "That's right, I heard about what happened to you. How your dad used to beat you around and how he ended up killing mommy. Probably wanted to kill you too if you were as irritating back then as you are today."
"That's enough, Whitney." Bucky scowled and his fists tightened.
"Why are you just a dick all the time? I mean it's so early in the morning." Dugan asked in shock and shook his head. "Is there ever a time of day where you're not a total twat?"
Lucy glared only more and refused to humour him by talking about the topic he just introduced. He wanted to push Lucy over the edge and she wouldn't let it happen. "I had a friend who was a psychologist back when I used to teach at a university back in France. She had a theory that men who belittled and bullied women were often insecure in their own life, and lashed out at successful women and blamed them for their failures. She also believed that they were usually overcompensating for something," Lucy gestured down with her eyes to the front of his pants and then rose a cocky eyebrow, "She was right nine times out of ten."
Whitney was red in the face from his anger. He hated that Lucy remained so calm and gave him nothing when all he wanted was for her to react. But Lucy had been dealing with men like him her entire life. He didn't phase her, she knew how to handle him.
"Children, children," Dugan sighed and shook his head and Lucy opened up her rations for breakfast, "Can we not get along for one morning, please? The constant bickering is driving me up the wall."
"You're right, we don't have time for childish disagreements," Lucy flashed an accusing look at Whitney once more but he looked unphased. She dug into her breakfast, not realizing how hungry she was. Between bites and chewing, Lucy began to highlight the plan for the day, "We need to find a way to get back to base. We won't be able to get air support until we're out of Nazi territory. So we're gonna have to find a way to get out of here."
"That's gonna be a lot of walking," Gabe Jones said in an unexcited tone. Lucy dreaded the journey as well, knowing it would take forever to get back to base if they didn't die first. There was also the issue at hand of running out of rations.
"I say we try to find supplies here before we leave," Bucky sat beside Lucy at the table. She thought of how perhaps in another life they would be doing the same thing as just the two of them. After a night of love making and being tangled up in each other, they would wake up with one another and start their day, eating breakfast in the kitchen that they shared. Lucy realized she started to picture a future with him and her stomach flipped.
He sat next to her and his hand reached down to grab her thigh lightly in an affectionate gesture under the table. Lucy had to stop herself from smiling, her heart racing from the tiny sign of affection he gave her.
Bucky looked over to her and gave her a small smile as he chewed his food. Her heart pounded again and all she wanted to do was crawl in his lap in that moment and kiss the hell out of him.
She wished they would never leave that house. That they could spend an eternity together with one another. Lucy knew she would be happy with it just being the two of them.
"I second that idea," Miller said, although he was also looking a little green in the face.
Lucy was brought back to reality when she thought of the task at hand. They had to get out of there, and she had no idea how to do that.
"We need to find another vehicle." Lucy figured that was the only solution. There were too many of them to travel any other way. With the car it would have been perfect, especially since they stole two motorcycles. But they weren't able to get back to the car back at the castle and they had to leave it there.
"Planning on seducing any more Nazi's? Or do you only seduce our own now?" Whitney shot back but Lucy ignore him.
Instead she just kept chewing and pretended like his words didn't bother her. No one paid him any attention either, they were beginning to realize he was just a bitter prick.
"After breakfast I say we split up and try to gather anything we can find," Lucy answered.
Bucky nodded in agreement, "Lucy and I will search the barn after this."
He gave her a look and Lucy's stomach flipped. She hoped no one would volunteer to go with them and help and they would have some more time alone together.
"Just uhhh, no getting up for any trouble in there." Dugan cocked an eyebrow, looking between them accusingly.
"C'mon, Dugan," Bucky scoffed and looked at Lucy, "Who do you think we are? We're professionals."
"Alright, alright, I'm just sayin' that's all!" The man said with his hands up in defence, "Historically you two tend to get a little distracted around one another."
"Dugan," Lucy looked to him again and said firmly, convincing both him and herself, "We're professionals."
Lucy couldn't help but bite her lip down as she tried not to scream. Bucky's mouth was attached to her neck, sucking hard on her skin. Her hands held onto the wooden boards behind her as her bare backside scratched against the stall door.
Her legs were wrapped around Bucky's waist and she was gasping for him as he thrust into her. His hands gripped her hips so roughly that Lucy knew they would leave marks.
His mouth hungrily captured hers as he slammed his pelvis into her even more. He held her tightly against him, her dress around her waist as the top half was pulled down and exposing her breasts. His mouth had been all over them a few seconds ago, sucking on the skin.
"Oh fuck, Bucky!" She couldn't help but cuss as he continued, feeling closer to her climax.
"Say my name again," He ordered breathlessly as he took her lips in bruising kiss. The moment they had gotten alone they were jumping on another, desperate for a repeat of the night before. "God, I love hearing it come from your lips."
Lucy gently mewled his name desperately the moment she freed herself from his desperate kidd. She said it gently like a prayer, over and over.
Unlike the night before, they didn't take their time with one another. This was fast and desperate, knowing they only had a few minutes to be wrapped around each other again.
"I'm so close. Just a little harder," Lucy begged him, her voice muffled by him grabbing her by the back of her neck and forcing her into a harsh kiss. Her arms wrapped around his neck and his shoulders as she held on for dear life. She had never, ever, been been made love to quite like this.
They were absolutely desperate for one another, not sure when the next time they would get the chance to be intimate. Lucy felt at home when he was inside of her, as though she was completely at peace and comfortable. She kissed him harder as though her life depended on it. Their teeth clashed roughly and Lucy let out a whimper as his thrusts got sharper.
"C'mon baby," Bucky whispered dirtily in her ear, "Cum all over me." That did it. Never before had she ever heard such a dirty and depraved thing. She still wasn't sure if she was comfortable with it, but her body certainly liked it.
Immediately from his filthy words and the bite he left of her shoulder, as well as his lower body slamming into her pushed her over the edge. His hips slammed into her with such a force that Lucy knew she would be walking a little funny afterwards. They were fucking like their lives depended on it, and she couldn't believe it had only taken a couple minutes of being in the barn and searching for supplies for them to jump one another.
It had started with Bucky getting any opportunity he could touch her, his hand grazing the small of her back as he moved past her. The light brushing of shoulders they had, and finally a tender kiss. But the kiss turned into something else, the next thing Lucy knew she was struggling to stay on task. As she searched she felt him come behind her and grip her waist hard. Kissing down her neck didn't help in any way of her resisting.
It took only minutes for the two of them to be undressing, desperate to have their bodies as one again.
And that was how she ended up pressed against the barn wall. She was breathing heavily with her head thrown back, positive she had never experienced pleasure like this. Lucy had never been intimate with anyone beyond in a bed, and the thrill of it drove her insane.
Lucy's legs were hooked so tightly around his waist that he was able to remove his hands. He grabbed her by the face with his one hand and forced her to kiss him hard. They kissed until they couldn't breathe, an all consuming need coursed through them.
Lucy never knew this amount of passion was possible. He was everything she had ever wanted and she hadn't even noticed it. The fact they had such a complicated history and went from hating one another to friends, to finally lovers, made Lucy feel like she had known him her entire life.
She held onto his shoulders and tightly with her arm hooked around him, trying to stay connected to the kiss as much as she could.
Bucky's other hand reached down between her legs to push her just enough so she reached the edge. She gasped his name into his lips and nearly saw stars. He continued meeting her hips as she released and finally he reached his edge from how far she was gripping around him.
With a groan Bucky finally released into her, his lips meeting hers as sweetly as he could. He nearly shivered at the feeling of his orgasm hit him and he thrust slowly into her hips more until he could no longer continue.
They stayed pressed against one another for awhile, just breathing heavily and trying to come down from both of their nearly cried when he set her down on shaky legs and he fell out of her. Bucky's first concern was holding her upright and kissing the side of her face sweetly.
Lucy touched his cheek as he did so, her eyes fluttering close and still trying to keep upright. Next he placed himself back in his boxers and began with helping fix Lucy up. She put her panties back on and he helped straighten out her dress. Bucky didn't want anyone to see her in a compromising position, so he made sure she was decent before finally pulling his pants back up.
Lucy finished doing up the buttons of her dress when she gave Bucky a teasing look, "We promised Dum Dum we wouldn't get distracted,"
"Sorry, pige," Bucky winked, doing up his belt, "Just seein' you bent over like that just made my blood grown hot," He kissed her head as he pulled her in. Lucy looked up with him in a soft smile, her heart full and happy. She didn't know how in the middle of the worst hell she felt utter joy unlike she ever felt before. She almost felt guilty from being so happy, but everything about him made her want to smile. "Down south," Bucky smirked with his implication.
Lucy rolled her eyes and pushed him away from her, trying to fix her hair in the updo she had done that morning.
"You are the biggest type of trouble, Bucky Barnes." Lucy adjusted her dress a little more. Bucky noticed how she had a little bit of lipstick smudged in her face from him kissing her. He reached into his pocket and took out of handkerchief to help get the pigment off of her skin.
The light berry red contrasted with the white of the cloth, Lucy mumbled a quick thank you to him and Bucky placed it back in his pocket.
"You love that I'm trouble," He smiled as he did the buttons up on his uniform shirt. He tucked his silver dog tags in his shirt, and gave her a smile as she into rolled her eyes. As he was fixing up his dog tags he suddenly realized something, "Luce, why don't you wear dog tags?" He frowned as he realized he never saw them on. She had only ever worn her Star of David.
"I usually do. Especially on missions but I wasn't able to wear them with the red dress I had to wear at the castle. I thought to take off Daniel's necklace too, but I couldn't and it fit well enough it wouldn't have been seen."
Bucky looked at her and sighed, he tried to give her a soft smile, "Listen, I know I'm not him. And I know you'll always love him. And I know this is new and that must be hard for you. So if we're going too fast, let me know. But I just wanna make you happy, and if I can make you half as happy as he did then I'll count it as a win."
"Bucky," Lucy said with a frown and looked at him with wide eyes, wondering why he thought he came second place to Daniel. "We haven't been together very long, but already you've made me happier in a week than he had our entire relationship."
He looked at her in shock and blinked a couple times, looking dumbfounded.
"Daniel and I fought constantly." Lucy tried to laugh through her sad tone, "And I loved him, I always will. I loved him so, so deeply. But I don't think we were ever going to work out. For a few years, probably. But there was an affair and trust issues. He wasn't willing to move to America to be with me. He kept making excuses because all he wanted a way to stay in the familiar. And then he would have expected me to give up my career to have a family. He would have wanted me to stay home and raise a baby and put mine on hold so his could prosper. And I would eventually resent him for it, and we would be happy for maybe quite a few years until we weren't. I don't know, there were just so many things."
Bucky looked at her and then asked, "You don't want a family?"
"No," She shook her head, "I can't give up what I've worked so hard for. If it were possible to have it all then I would, but I can't just leave it all to stay home."
"What if I did?" Bucky asked her with a shrug.
Lucy looked at him with a confused face, wondering what he was asking. Surely he would want her to stay home with their children too.
"I mean, I'd still have to find work somewhere. But we could get my mom to look after the kids on those days. And then the rest of the week I take care of them while you're busy."
Lucy looked at him in shock, almost dumbstruck, "You would do that?"
"I'd do anything for you." Was all Bucky said simply, making Lucy's heart melt.
"Have you thought this out?" Lucy asked, her eyebrows raised curiously, wondering when he had time to think about.
"Might of crossed my mind " Bucky shrugged with a smile, he leaned in and kissed he chastely on the lips."But don't worry doll, we won't be having kids any time soon."
"Yeah, we'll see about that," Lucy rolled her eyes, still feeling the stickiness of his release between her legs. Bucky only cringed and then quickly answered with an apology. Lucy said it was fine and as she began searching for things they can use one question notched in the back of her mind.
"So you really want to get married and have kids?"
"One day," Bucky nodded and looked at her as they both began searching for anything that could be useful, "Like I said before, I'm in it for the long haul."
"You just don't seem like the type of guy who'd be interested in that," Lucy said candidly, not expecting him to be that invested.
"You know I love you?" He asked her and Lucy gave a soft smile. She nodded and Bucky smiled.
"Good, because I do." Was all he said.
"I know you want me to say it back but—,"
"You don't have to." Buck defended her choice, he went through a tool box that had been in the tack room of the barn and looked for anything they could possibly use. "I know I just sprung it on you. You don't have to say it back."
"Okay." Lucy nodded and moved a piece of hair out of her face as she found a spare box of bullets which she smiled at it and added it to the pile of things they had found that could be useful.
Bucky went behind the barn to take a look around it to see if they were missing anything. Lucy continued searching inside but was getting frustrated by their lack of finds. She was left alone for a little while until Bucky called out loudly for her.
"Hey, Luce?" He called out and Lucy exited the barn to follow him to the back. The grass was long and hadn't been taken care of for some time. Lucy worried that it would rip her stockings she had one but she didn't care.
When she rounded the back of the barn she smiled at what Bucky had found. It was a large truck, big enough for them all to fit inside with some in the back. There had been a cover over it that laid on the ground that Bucky had pulled off of it.
"Good eye," Lucy smiled widely and chuckled.
Bucky smirked back and then only replied "Woulda found it sooner if my lady wasn't so distracting."
"You were the one that started it, Mister." Lucy chuckled as she got into the truck and noticed there were no keys inside like she had hoped.
"Think you can get it to run?" She asked Bucky and he shook his head.
"I can't start it up, but Jones can. We'll call him once we figure out if we can even get this bad boy running. It looks like it's been sitting here for awhile so I'm gonna take a look under the hood."
Bucky popped the top of it open and looked down as Lucy came around to see what he was doing. Unfortunately, even when she did see what he was doing Lucy had no idea what was going on.
"I don't know anything about vehicles," Lucy said with a scowl, her arms crossed and looking annoyed by it.
Bucky smirked and said with a happy chuckle, "Well," He licked his lips before a smug grin appeared on his face, "Finally something I know more about than Dr. Lucy Heinrich."
"It's not gonna become a habit," Lucy said a little bitterly. She scowled ever so slightly but tried not to look too sore over it.
"Still, finally something you're not just unbearably good at," He looked at her with his hands on his hips before he gestured her over, "Come on, it's my turn to shine."
Lucy huffed but couldn't help but hide the grin on her face. Bucky was so proud he finally bested her at something, it was hard not for her to be happy for him. She would give him the small victory, since it's often not easy for men to accept their partners were more successful than them.
"So what's this?" Bucky asked after he popped the hood. Lucy looked down at the black thing he was gesturing at and shrugged.
"Umm, I don't know."
"It's the engine, sweetheart." Bucky said before kissed her forehead. Lucy rolled her eyes but she still couldn't keep the corners of her mouth from becoming upright. "Wow, you really are bad at this."
"Shut up, no comments from you."
"What? Are you gonna make me If I don't?" Bucky fiddled around with things Lucy didn't recognize. He had a devilish smirk on his face as he teased her.
Lucy only smirked back, she went behind him and began kissing up and down his neck. She went up just below his ear and gently bit the ear lobe, pulling a little and making him groan, "I just might," She whispered back at him. The fact they were ready to go again as she still had the remnants of their last love making dripping down her thighs was erotic for her. "I can think of better uses for that mouth than just saying smart ass comments."
"Hmm, I think you're right. How about after this we get in the back of the truck and I take those panties off and spend some time between those gorgeous legs of yours?"
Lucy smiled as she continued kissing down his neck, nipping at him. "As much as I'd love that I think we've already had enough distractions today."
"You and your logic taking the fun out of everything." Bucky shook his head and continued tinkering with the engine and fixing it up.
Lucy chuckled and smacked his ass as she walked away, emitting a little surprised yell from him. She turned around and looked at him with a smug smirk as he watched her walk away.
Lucy continued searching around the barn as he tried to fix the truck. She looked back at him as she continued walking and saw how focused he was. He had his eyebrows creased together as he peered down.
She smiled as she watched him, wondering what they would be doing if they weren't in the middle of a war and we're back in New York. She wondered what would become of them if they survived this whole thing and returned back to their regular lives. She thought about waking up in his small apartment with him and spending most of their day off in bed.
She thought about all the Christmases they could spend together, drinking hot chocolate and sitting in front of a fire wrapped up in one another.
Lucy thought about getting into bed with him after a long day and feeling him take her into his arms. At first Lucy wondered if perhaps they were too different to make it work. But now she realized that they actually weren't, and she would do whatever it took in order to be with him.
Lucy went back into the barn to grab the casing of bullets she found and the other little finds that they thought might be useful. She was about to bring it to the house when she decided to check up on Bucky again.
She was surprised to find him not under the hood of the car, but a little further off, holding something in his arms.
"Bucky?" Lucy frowned, wondering what he had.
"Look what I found," Bucky smiled as he turned around and Lucy was a white kitten in his arms. The animal was purring loudly as Bucky rubbed between its ears. It almost looked like it was about to go to sleep from how relaxed it was.
"Where was it?" Lucy frowned in confusion, not remembering seeing a cat.
"I could hear it making noises in those bushes," Bucky chuckled and gently held up so he could see it, "Shit, you're cute." He chuckled lowly as he looked at the cat.
Lucy smiled as she saw how he interacted with the cat. She never expected him to have such a soft spot when it came to small animals but Lucy was happily surprised.
"Look at him! Oh my god, Lucy look at his tiny little face!" Bucky almost cooed at the small animal and Lucy was surprised to see him act like that. She laughed ever so slightly at him fawning over the tiny creature.
"Put him back, we're not keeping him."
"Why not?" Bucky asked as he flipped the cat so he was holding it in his arms like one would hold an infant, "He can be our baby!"
Lucy wrinkled her nose in distaste, "I'm more of a dog person."
Bucky held the cat up and looked him in the eye, it's slinky body hanging down and looking uncomfortable, "Your mother didn't mean that,"
She went up to Bucky and looked at the cat. Her nose crinkled again and she sneezed ever so slightly, "Your dad is crazy," She kissed his cheek.
"I'll name you Snow because of your fur. Or wait, no. Avalanche? Nah. Alpine? No, that's dumb." Bucky spoke to the cat like he was crazy and Lucy just watched with amusement.
She had never been a big animal person except for liking dogs. She was also terribly allergic to cats, but she would never tell Bucky that.
"Don't name it, you'll get attached to it." Lucy felt like she was lecturing a child. She never thought she'd have to explain to a grown man why they couldn't keep the animal they had just found.
"He could come with us until we had to go back to base?"
"No," Lucy said firmly, looking at the cat and realizing perhaps it is cute. "Put it back," She looked at its small face and supposed it was rather cute. She stared at it and felt her cold heart melt a little bit. As she got closer Lucy sneezed again, feeling her eyes water as she did so.
"Are you allergic?" Bucky frowned as he continued petting the cat.
"Possibly." Lucy couldn't get near the thing without sneezing but she couldn't tell him that.
"Ah," Bucky nodded and then looked at the cat and gave it a soft kiss on the head, making Lucy's heart melt ever more. He set the cat down on the grass and gently said, "Off you get, your mom is allergic."
Lucy smiled and said goodbye to the little creature. "Maybe we can find a hypoallergenic one?" She suggested.
"Maybe." Bucky said with a smile, thinking of the life they could have together. He realized she was the one who suggested it, meaning she had been thinking about the future too. "So if you wanna get a cat with me what does that mean?"
"It means you'll be the one taking care of it because I'm not all that fond of them." She didn't think Bucky would ever go for a dog either. She had always wanted a cocker spaniel but never found the perfect time to get one.
"No, I mean that this must mean you want us to be together after all this is over."
Lucy's eyes softened as she watched him tighten a latch (or something, she really had no knowledge of cars) on the engine.
"Of course I want us to be together after all this is over!" She said a little surprised, "If I didn't there would be no way I'd ever sleep with a subordinate."
"Hey, none of that throwing rank now." He smirked ever so slightly after briefly looking at her from under the hood.
"Sorry, sorry." She chuckled and then turned serious again, "But I do want this. I think we can be really good together."
"I think so too." Bucky nodded in agreement, "I think we have a good dynamic going."
"Mmhm, and so much history."
"That we definitely do have." He chuckled softly. He thought back to when they first met, and then when they met the second time and how much conflict there was. "So, we're in a relationship now or what?"
"I already thought we were. After all, the whole 'That's my girlfriend you Nazi bastard' thing really cemmented it."
Bucky laughed and blushed a little bit, he scratched the back of his neck awkwardly, "Yeah, I was hoping you didn't hear that."
"Honey, the whole compound heard it." Lucy laughed as his dumbness. He was like a shy school boy with a crush, unable to communicate what he was feeling.
"Alright, alright not my smoothest moment I'll give you that." He slammed the hood of the truck down and then nodded at his work, he wiped his hands on his pants. Lucy smirked and then teased him.
"And to think you're supposed to be a ladies man."
"Who told you that?" Bucky asked with a frown as he took her in his arms and peered down at her suspiciously, he felt her arms wrap around him as they embraced one another as they continued walking.
Lucy shrugged, "Just a guess. You have a type of attitude and swagger that would suggest it."
"Swagger?" Bucky rose a curious eyebrow and wondered what she was getting at. "I didn't do too badly for myself with the ladies before you."
"And I'm sure you'll do alright with them again after me." Lucy assured him.
"After you?" Bucky frowned and separated from her, wondering what she was getting at, "Pigeon, have you not heard a single word I said? There is no 'after you'. This is it."
Lucy only shrugged and bit her lip, "If you're sure. I mean that's a lot to decide on after only knowing someone for two months."
"We've known each other longer than my parents did when my dad asked my mom to marry him. They only went on three dates." Lucy was surprised to hear that. But then again, she had never really heard any successful story of people getting married in her life without it ending in someone dying. She supposed the only successful relationships she knew if so far was the Lee's, who may not have been in love but were fond of each other, and Beatrix and her husband Jonathan.
"Only three?" Lucy asked with a frown, "How did they know they were right for each other?"
Bucky shrugged, put his hands in his pockets as he realIed he never thought about it much. "Don't know. Guess they just had a feeling and went with it. They were happy though until my dad died. It seemed to have worked out for them before then though."
"My parents never got along. I think maybe once they were in love but I don't know." Lucy frowned as she thought about it, her heart sinking. "Children always want their parents to be in love, but it never happened that way for me."
Bucky pursed his lips together and kissed her forehead as he took her under his arm as they walked to the house where the rest of the team was.
"It'll happen that way for our children." He assured her softly. "Or for our hypoallergenic cat, at least.
Lucy rolled her and tried her hardest not to smile at his words. "Easy there," She tried to tell him, "Haven't even told I love you just yet."
"You'll get there." He said with a smug smile and winked at her. His cockiness was unyielding and Lucy couldn't help but laugh.
"Hmm, is that so? And how do you expect to win me over?"
"Oh, that's easy. Lots of orgasms." He teased and then chuckled, "They all come around eventually after that."
"Bastard," Lucy rolled her eyes again and pushed him softly as they approached the farm house. She had expected to see her team to be up and searching the yard for anything useful but she supposed they were more hungover than they appeared.
As they walked in the house through the back door Lucy called out that they had found a truck in the back of the barn they could probably use. It was uncharacteristically quiet in the house, considering the men were always boisterous and loud.
"Fellas?" Lucy asked with a frown, "What's with the silence? Did Miller get mad for you interrupting his nap again?"
As she founded the corner to the kitchen with Bucky on her tail Lucy came to a stop as soon as she saw what awaited her there. Her heart fell in her chest, and she immediately made eye contact with Dugan.
"We ran into some trouble." Dugan said with pissed off expression, a gun pointed at his head.
Bucky stilled as he came into the room and saw what was going on. Seven Nazi's had their guns trained on them, clearly having found out where they were. The men were all in surrender, their hands held up when they realized there was nothing to be done in the situation.
"Ah, and I suspect that is everybody." The Nazi who must have in charge smirked sinisterly at Bucky and Lucy as they came in. "Almost too easy I think." He gestured to Lucy and Bucky to one of his men, "Grab then." He commanded.
Lucy didn't know what to do. She had onto a second to react, and had no options. All she knew was that she wasn't about to be taken alive.
She noticed their ammunition chest was off to the side. As they approached her she kicked the top of it open as they raised their guns and prepared to fire. She grabbed the first thing she could find. Although it wasn't a gun, it was much smaller but all the more deadly.
"Oh, I really wouldn't if I were you!" She yelled back, showing what she had quickly managed to grab in her hand.
All then men paled when they realized it was a grenade. She pulled the pin out of it in that moment, causing them all the gasp.
She held it tightly in her hand as she grasped it, keeping the pressure she had on it. Upon realIzing what she did, Lucy looked to Bucky with fear in her eyes.
"Fuck." Was all Bucky said in slight terror as he looked at the grenade without a pin that was in the love of his life's hand.
Oopsies. That's a cliffhanger if I've ever seen one. Sorry about that, but I had to! I hope you all enjoyed the smut/fluffiness in this chapter. It's about to get a lot more intense but I wanted our mains to get some happiness first.
I've also decided to take the month of December off of updating. I want to focus on writing and getting further ahead of the story. I'm afraid this is usually the point a little bit of writer's block comes in, so I think it would be best to just write what I can without any pressure. I'll try to update at least once more this month so that way I don't leave you all hanging.
Thanks for reading,
