As we walked across the street back to our apartment, I used one hand to tightly hold Bucky's and happily swung the bag from the candy store in the other. I saw him look over to see what I held and he raised his eyebrows when he spotted the familiar logo on the bag.

He stopped walking and pointed to the bag in my right hand. "You went to the candy store without me?" he said indignantly.

I laughed at the pout that suddenly appeared on his face, "I did" I said, holding the bag up for him to see, shaking it back and forth in front of his face.

"What did you get?" he asked curiously.

"I don't know...I let Ms. Anna pick everything out. She also made you something special" I said the last part in a sing song voice.

When he tried to reach for it, I pulled it back quickly and put it behind my back, "Nope...you didn't say please" I teased, taking several steps away from him.

"Give me that bag woman" he growled.

I shook my head and raised my eyebrow at him before glancing over my shoulder to see how far away from the door we were.

He let out a soft chuckle and then winked at me, "I'll give you a 5 second head start"

The moment I saw that wicked grin on his face, I turned around and ran as fast as I could towards the apartment. I heard him counting out loud as I made my way across the now empty street. I snuck a peek behind me when I heard him yell "Five" and saw him take off after me. I shrieked and quickly ran the rest of the way to the building before yanking the door open. I was dashing up the stairs when the door opened again and I heard loud footsteps behind me.

I turned around quickly and tripped over my own two feet. I grabbed on to the railing to balance myself and then sat down hard on the steps. I was only halfway up the stairs and Bucky stood at the bottom looking up at me. I tried to scramble to my feet but he had already closed the distance. He snatched the bag away from me with one hand and used the other to scoop me up and throw me over his shoulder. Even with me laughing and struggling against his back, Bucky was still able to carry me up the stairs with ease. I only snickered louder when I felt him smack me on the ass and tell me to quiet down.

When we reached the apartment, I stopped wiggling so he could reach into his pocket to pull out the keys and unlock the door. I expected him to let me down once we got inside but instead, he carried me into the living room and threw me down on the couch.

I tried to sit up but he leaned over me suddenly and started tickling me.

"Bucky...stop...Bucky!" I said between the giggles, wiggling under him as grinned down at me.

"Say please" he demanded, tickling me harder.

"Please!" I shrieked.

He finally stopped and pulled back, a smug smile on his face. In the struggle, my shirt had ridden up and his hands were resting on my exposed stomach. I gasped when I felt his fingers glide down the skin until he came to the button of my jeans...he lingered there, tracing his fingers over the fabric gently. He slowly leaned forward; I closed my eyes and waited expectantly. When I didn't feel his lips on mine, I opened my eyes to see he wasn't leaning in for a kiss. The bag of candy was lying on the couch above my head and he smiled wide at me when he picked it up.

Asshole!

I let out a loud groan and used both hands to push him off of me, scowling at the pleased expression on his face. He sat back on the far end of the couch and began looking in the bag as I struggled to sit up. I watched as he pulled out the larger box first and opened it up to examine the contents. Once he was satisfied that Ms. Anna had filled it with all his favorites, he reached for the smaller box. I scooted closer, interested to see what she had concocted for him.

He reached in to delicately to pull out a piece of fudge and examine it. He smiled and then popped it into his mouth, moaning in delight as he chewed it slowly.

I was now sitting close enough to look down into the box...it was full of some kind of white fudge with nuts on top and it smelled amazing. I reached towards the box to get a piece but Bucky swiftly yanked it away from my outstretched fingers.

"Didn't your momma teach you to share Bucky Barnes?" I said, crossing my hands over my chest.

He seemed to think about it for a second before a wide smile appeared on his face. He held the box out towards me but before I could reach for a piece he said, "One kiss first and then I'll share...deal?"

The impish grin on his face made my heart beat just a little bit quicker and I nodded my head slowly, "Deal"

He sat the box down on the coffee table and leaned back on the couch before reaching his hands out to me. Once I was close enough, he grabbed me around the waist and pulled me closer to position me so I was straddling his waist.

I stared at him for a long time...memorizing every single detail of his face. I reached out to let my fingers trace the strong line of his jaw. He closed his eyes as I continued to caress his face with my fingers. I was enjoying the feel of his rough stubble on the palm of my hand when he finally spoke up.

"I thought we had a deal" he said hoarsely, opening his eyes.

I smiled at him and leaned in to lay a chaste kiss on one cheek and then the other...he sighed softly and closed his eyes again as I continued to press my lips softly on his face...never once touching his mouth. I felt his hands on my waist tighten as I kissed lightly down his neck. My hands were resting on his chest as I kissed him and I could feel his heart beating fast under the tips of my fingers. I pulled back and let my hands reach for the buttons of his shirt, undoing them slowly. When I finished with the last button, I slid my hands under the fabric and moved it to the side, exposing his muscled torso. I leaned back and took in the glorious sight. His eyes were still closed and his chest rose with each heavy breath that he took.

He let out a soft moan when I leaned down to kiss the skin above his heart. My fingers were tracing the muscles of his torso as I continued pressing my lips across his chest. Each kiss seemed to make his heart beat faster...each touch made him breathe harder.

"Eden?" I heard him whisper.

I looked up from his chest to see his eyes were now open and he was looking down at me. I raised myself from his chest and used one hand to brush a lock of hair out of his eyes so I could have an unobstructed view of his face.

"What?" I asked softly as I started stroking his face again. His lips parted slightly but he didn't say anything for a moment...he just stared at me.

"I love you" he finally managed to say in a raspy voice.

I will never get tired of hearing him say that to me.

I leaned in and kissed one cheek, "I"

I moved to the other cheek and laid a kiss on it, "Love"

My lips hovered over his and I felt the warmth of his breath on my face, "You"

I finally pressed my lips against his and he responded immediately to the kiss. His hands at my waist ran up my back and pulled me closer to him until I was pressed tightly against his naked chest. He deepened the kiss and I let out a moan when I felt his tongue slide into my mouth to move against my own. My hands found his bare chest and I pushed against it gently, pulling away from the kiss. He was panting heavily as he looked up at me in surprise.

"What's wrong?" he asked, sitting up from the back of the couch.

"Absolutely nothing" I said, slipping his shirt off of his arms and letting my hands trail down his chest again until I reached the button of his pants. I sat up on my knees to look him in the eye as I unsnapped his jeans and drew down the zipper. I reached down to slip my hand into his pants and he shivered when I touched him.

He grabbed my wrist and I looked up to see him shaking his head at me, "Don't. I won't last long"

Bucky pulled my hand away and placed it back onto his chest, right above his heart...it was beating impossibly fast. I felt both hands slip under my shirt and draw it over my head. He leaned forward to kiss down my neck and across my chest slowly.

I pulled his face back up to mine to press my lips against his hungrily. I had been so stupid the last 4 hours...wasting time walking around when I could have been right here with him, doing exactly what we were doing at this moment. I pulled back and stood up from the couch to look down at him. My hand went to my jeans and I unbuttoned them. I watched his eyes light up and he reached down to take off his boots.

In the time it took me to slide just my jeans down, Bucky had already removed his boots and socks and was lying back on the couch to continue watching me. I looked at him, sitting there hard and ready, watching me with that animalistic look on his face. I felt a rush of heat low in my body I quickly reached behind my back to unsnap my bra and let it fall to the floor...leaving me clad only in my panties.

Bucky motioned me forward and I stepped towards him. From his position on the couch, he was eye level with my stomach and I moaned when he leaned forward to kiss it softly. His hands went around my body to slide up the back of my thighs and I felt my legs turn to jelly. He finally moved up and hooked his thumbs under the waist band of my panties and drew them down my legs slowly. I stepped out of them and kicked them to the side and looked back to him. His hands were once again on my waist and he tugged me closer to him as he leaned forward.

I gasped and nearly slipped to the floor the moment I felt his tongue slide into me. I grabbed his shoulders to steady myself and let out a moan when I felt him find my clit and start circling it with his tongue.

"Bucky" I moaned before removing one hand from his shoulder so I could run my fingers through his hair.

What he was doing felt amazing but my legs were shaking and I knew at any moment my they were going to give out completely. I patted his shoulder in an attempt to get his attention...his response was to swish his tongue in such a way that I whimpered loudly. I let him continue until I felt the warm tingle begin to spread throughout my body. I would have let him keep going but I was dangerously close to falling over so I patted his shoulder again.

I finally had to tug his hair hard to get him to stop...he looked up at me with a smile, "What?" he asked innocently.

I pushed at his chest until he laid back and then settled myself back on his lap. I positioned myself over him and let my eyes make contact with his. His eyes were full of lust and desire and I rejoiced in the knowledge that it was all directed at me. He threw his head back and moaned my name when I slid down onto him. I sat there, not moving, enjoying the feeling of him inside me.

I felt his hands run up my back slowly as I began to move my hips over him. He pulled me close and buried his face in my chest. I rested my hands on his shoulders as he ran his tongue across one nipple and then the other. I threw my head back when I felt his mouth find my neck and I bit my lip when he nipped the skin lightly.

As I continued to move my hips over Bucky, I let my hands fall to his chest again and felt it slick against my fingers. I moved quicker and felt the warm tingle start to grow again...Bucky must have realized I was close because he suddenly thrust his hips up, bringing a gasp of pleasure from me. I continued moving up and down him quickly, getting closer with each roll of my hips. Bucky thrust himself into me hard again and it pushed me over the edge...waves of heat were radiating through me. I leaned forward as the orgasm rolled through my body, leaving me shivering and panting hard.

Bucky twisted his body and laid me down gently onto the couch before sliding back into me. He plunged in and out of me while holding himself up with his metal arm and letting his right hand slide down to cup one breast.

He leaned down to kiss me hard on the lips before burying his head in my neck. His pace quickened and I felt him nearing his end. He rammed into me, thrusting in as deep as he could go as he came inside of me, groaning loudly as he had his release. He stayed there for several minutes, trying to catch his breath, before leaning down to smile and kiss me softly.

He finally pulled out of me and sat up...I took his outreached hand and let him help me rise up to sit next to him. Bucky looked down to the floor and spotted his boxers...he grabbed them and slipped them back on. I watched as he leaned down again and picked up something else off the floor which he promptly handed to me.

"Thanks" I said, taking my panties from his hand. He winked at me and lay back on the couch as he watched me stand up to put them on. I looked around the living room and smiled when I saw his button up shirt lying at my feet. I bent down and picked it up, slipping in on my shoulders and buttoning it up.

When I looked up I saw him smirking at me, "I like that look on you" he said before reaching for the small box of fudge on the coffee table. I leaned down to kiss him and while he was distracted, I snatched the box from his hand and stepped back swiftly.

I saw him about to protest but I cut him off, "You said one kiss and then you would share...that was way more than a kiss Bucky" I teased.

He chuckled softly, "I suppose it was"

I reached in the box and picked out a single piece of fudge before looking over at him, "She said she made this up just for you...what is it?" I asked, before handing the box back to him.

"White chocolate with peanut butter in the middle and pecans on top" he replied, reaching in and pulling another piece out for himself.

I shrugged my shoulders and put the fudge in my mouth to chew. He smiled when he saw me raise my eyebrows and nod my head...it was so delicious.

I reached for the box again and he pulled it away with a smile, "You have to earn another piece" he joked, winking at me.

I scooted closer to kiss him and the taste of fudge was still sweet on his lips, "Deal" I said, reaching for the buttons on my shirt with a smile.
