Watching Eden punch that prick in the nose was the highlight of my day for two reasons…first, I knew she had absolutely no feelings for him anymore and second, she could throw a punch.

Eden had some spirit in her. I wonder how she would feel about learning some defensive moves. It would make me feel better knowing she could take care of herself.

Once we had gotten upstairs and into the apartment, she headed to the kitchen to grab some drinks while I unpacked our sandwiches. I was disappointed when Eden said she wasn't in the mood for a scary movie tonight. She pulled The Godfather from her movie shelf and slipped it in saying it was one of her favorites and a classic that I had to watch. Honestly, I didn't care watch we watched, just being with her was enough for me. Once we had eaten she scooted closer to me and pulled the blanket from the back of the couch to cover us…snuggling into me. It was a long movie but I was enjoying it…at one point I looked down to see her eyes were closed. It was hard not to stare at her while she slept but I watched the rest of the movie and when it was over I turned off the TV with the remote. She stirred awake when I sat the remote back down.

She sat up and yawned, "Did I fall asleep?"

I stood up and grabbed the trash from our dinner, taking it into the kitchen to throw away, "Yep, and you were snoring!"

"I do NOT snore Bucky Barnes" she called after me.

I turned off the light in the kitchen and then went to the front door to make it was locked and dead bolted. When I went back to the living room, Eden wasn't there so I flipped off that light and headed to her bedroom. I could hear the water in the sink running when I entered. I pulled off my jeans and undershirt and slipped into bed. She came out a few minutes later, her hair in a bun and wearing an oversized t-shirt and her panties.

When she saw me in the bed, she put her hand on her hip and asked, "What do you think you're doing?"

I didn't understand what she meant, "What?"

"I distinctly remember you saying something at the antique shop about YOUR room"

I smirked at her…two could play at that game, "You're right, I guess I better start sleeping in there from now on. It's not proper for me to sleep in your room."

She frowned at me when I pulled back the covers and got out of the bed. I walked up to her and kissed her gently on the cheek, "Goodnight Eden. I'll see you in the morning."

I grabbed my phone off the dresser and headed to the guest room that was now my bedroom. Before I walked through the door, I peeked back and saw her watching me from her bedroom, an unsure look on her face.

I walked in and shut the door behind me, lying on the bed with my phone in my hand…waiting. It didn't take more than 5 minutes before my phone beeped.

Eden: Get in here!

Bucky: Ask nicely!

Eden: Please get your sexy ass in here now!

I smirked and got out of the bed to head back to her room. She had already turned all the lights off so it was completely dark. My night vision was excellent so I could see her lying in the bed, facing my direction. I walked to the empty side of the bed and slid in, laying on my back to wait for her to snuggle up to me. She eventually scooted over, snuggling her face in my chest as I wrapped my arm around her.

"Jerk" she said, stifling a yawn, letting her arm wrap around my stomach.

"I love you too" I whispered before closing my eyes.

I woke up the next morning and felt a warm body curled against my back, Bucky's metal arm lying protectively over my waist. I squinted at the clock.

9:00am

We still had plenty of time before we needed to be at Brooke's house to help her unload the truck. I wiggled from under Bucky's arm and went into the bathroom to take a long hot shower. I slipped a towel onto the rack and opened the shower door to step in. I wet my hair and lathered it with shampoo and then conditioner. I was just about to reach down for my shower gel when I heard the door to the shower open and felt a breeze on my back. I turned to see Bucky stepping into the shower, a sly grin on his face, "You owe me, remember?" I nodded and smiled; he closed the door behind him and stepped under the water to wet his hair.

Once it was completely wet, I turned him around, "Lean your head back" He did what I asked and I lathered some shampoo in his hair, enjoying the sigh of pleasure from him as I scrubbed it in. He rinsed it out and I once again reached for my shower gel and bath poof. Once it was soapy I used it to wash my chest and legs while he watched, letting the water run down his face as he stared at me lustfully. I used it on his chest, enjoying how the soap bubbles ran down his chest and then slid lower. I looked him in the eyes when I reached down to slide my hand down the length of him. He closed his eyes and let out a guttural moan. I only got a few strokes in before he reached down to pick me up. I felt it pressed against my stomach and I reached up to kiss him. He leaned back against the wall of the shower and lifted me up until I felt the tip of him graze the outside of my sex. He dropped me down on him in one swift motion until he was all the way in. I wrapped my arm around his neck and kissed him gently along his jaw. He put both hands on my hips as he lifted me up and down his shaft. He controlled everything and I let him. I hungrily nipped at his skin, letting my moans of pleasure entice him to keep going for as long as possible. The water eventually grew less and less warm until eventually it was just cold water coming down on us.

He was doing something with his hips that was driving me wild…I almost didn't mind the cold water that was sliding down my skin. I threw my head back and whimpered when the orgasm hit me. I shivered and moaned his name, "Bucky…."

He came a moment later and quickly pulled himself out of me and reached down to turn off the freezing water. I leaned against the wall trembling. He pulled me against his body and kissed me on the lips, "Next time we do that first…before all the hot water is gone"

I nodded and smiled. He opened the door and reached out for a towel. He wrapped it around his waist and then handed me the other towel. I stepped out and wrapped myself up in it. Once we had gotten dressed and ready for the day, I went into the kitchen to find us something to eat. We decided on something simple, just scrambled eggs and some toast. I was just getting ready to start scrambling eggs when there was a knock at my door.

I glanced over at Bucky and he shrugged his shoulder. I made my way to the door and peeked through the hole to see Steve standing outside. I looked at my watch.

11:15

We weren't supposed to leave for another 45 minutes but from the smile on his face, he must have been excited. I threw open the door and greeted him, "Good morning Steve, have you eaten anything?" I squealed when he lifted me up in his arms into a big hug.

Once he sat me down he smiled and said, "Good morning! Nope"

I motioned for him to follow me, "Well come on in then, you're just in time for breakfast"

Bucky looked over and smiled when Steve walked into the kitchen. Steve patted him on the back and took the other stool on his left, "Morning Buck"

I cracked open a few more eggs and then started cooking. I popped some bread in the toaster and listened to Steve and Bucky talk. Once everything was done, the three of us sat in a row at the counter and ate in silence. Once we were finished and everything was in the dishwasher, I looked at the clock to see it was 11:50.

"We should get going guys…Brooke said the truck would be there by noon" I said.

Once we got downstairs I slipped into the front seat so I could navigate and Bucky got in back, Steve drove us over to Brooke's apartment complex. It was a newer place with a lot of amenities. I knew the Smithsonian was paying her a lot better than her previous job and were covering all her moving expenses. I spotted her red hair before we had even parked, "There she is!" I squealed reaching over to honk the horn. She looked gorgeous as always, her red hair was flowing behind her and she wearing dark blue jeans and a emerald green sweater. She turned when she heard the horn and ran over to Steve's car. I was barely out the door before she ran up to me and hugged me tightly. I heard her whisper in my ear, "Do I look okay?" I pulled away with a giggle and nodded. Steve had already gotten out of the car and was nervously standing by his door. Once Bucky was out of the car, the two of them made their way over to us. Steve stepped up first and stuck his hand out to shake Brooke's. She looked over at me and raised her eyebrow, a cocky look on her face.

"I'm not a hand shake kind of girl Steve" she said, with a smile. Steve looked disappointed for a second before Brooke stepped forward to hug him, "I'm a hugger"

They stared at each for several moments once she pulled away from him. Bucky and I glanced at each other, smiling. Brooke finally looked over at Bucky and stepped forward to hug him as well. I heard her whisper in his ear, "I'm glad I haven't had to hunt you down and kick your ass yet"

He pulled away with a smile and nodded at her…he reached out and slid his arm around my waist, kissing me on the cheek.

Brooke directed the guys over to the truck and we grabbed a few boxes before we followed her to the apartment. Luckily she was right near the entrance and on the ground floor. While the guys unloaded the big stuff, Brooke and I unpacked boxes of movies, books, and other little things. Brooke kept thanking them over and over again. After Steve and Bucky had brought the couch in and placed it where Brooke instructed, she watched as they left back out to grab more stuff.

"Good God Eden, he sure is good looking" she said, glancing over at me while I placed her books on the shelf.

I rolled my eyes at her, "Yeah yeah, I know you think Steve is hot."

She giggled, "Well yeah he is good looking too but I was talking about Bucky actually"

I looked up at her and smiled, "Oh, he is isn't he?" She nodded.

At that moment, Bucky walked back in the apartment carrying a big box. He walked over and laid it gently onto the floor next to my feet. I could see it was another box of books. I stared at him as he stood up…he had taken off his shirt right after they had started moving the big stuff and he was now wearing just a wife beater. He caught me looking at him and smirked at me…he pulled me close, "What?" he asked.

"Just admiring the view" I said before I kissed him. I pulled away and started unpacking the next box of books. Once the guys had gotten the truck completely unloaded, Steve offered to follow Brooke in his car so she could drop it back off at the U-Haul place and the he could give her a ride back home. I smiled and waved at her as they left the apartment.

By the time they got back almost an hour later, Bucky and I had gotten her bed put together and made, her books and movies on the shelves, and unloaded all the kitchen boxes.

Brooke walked in and looked around at our progress, "Wow guys, maybe Steve and I should leave and come back later." She turned to Steve, "What do you think?"

He grinned and nodded.

"Get your ass in here and help" I demanded.

Between the 4 of us, we were able to get everything completely unpacked and put up by 5:00pm. Bucky and I were sitting on the couch together with our feet propped up on the coffee table and Steve was sitting in the recliner drinking some water when Brooke walked into the living room.

"Thank you guys so much…it would have taken me forever to do all this by myself" she said.

"No problem at all" Steve said, smiling up at her.

"As payback, I'm taking you guys out tonight." She said, smiling over at me with a mischievous glint in her eye.

I was instantly suspicious, "Where exactly are you taking us?"

She winked at me, "It's a surprise"

"Brooke…" I warned her, "Where?"

She shrugged her shoulders and looked at me, "I did some googling…I found a karaoke place not far from here…I thought we could go have some drinks and see what happens"

I pointed at her, "I knew it! No way! The last time we did karaoke, someone took video of me"

She faked a gasp, "Are you talking about Moi? I would never!"

Bucky and Steve were chuckling as they watched us go back and forth. Bucky finally interjected, "I'd actually love to go…Steve what about you?"

He nodded, "Sounds like fun to me too"

I turned to Bucky, "Traitor! You're supposed to be on my side"

He pulled me close and kissed me on the cheek, "I'm always on your side….come on, I want to see you sing in person…maybe get a few drinks in you and see what happens"

I looked at each one of them, all smiling at me before I finally growled, "FINE, we can go to the karaoke bar…but that doesn't mean I'm going to sing!"

Brooke sniggered at me, "We'll see if you're still saying that after a couple of daiquiris"
