Part Three
When we are asleep we dream of things past and things that will never be again. Sometimes in our dreams we are often visited by those we lost and in those perfect hours of sleep we are whole again. For Brogan Barnes this was pretty much something that happened on a daily basis since that fateful day of losing her beloved Bucky. At the beginning he would haunt her dreams regularly and whenever she did awake, she'd scramble to her diary to furiously scribble on paper her visions and desperately hope that their was some deep hidden source of wisdom or advice in those thoughts plaguing her mind.
In those early days after his "passing" it was normally nightmares and haunting flashbacks of that day that often woke her from her slumber but with her life now settling back into a steady rhythm, those nightmares slowly began to cease with only loving images of her Bucky filling her mind when she drifted off to sleep. Back then too she was often scared to go to sleep but as the years went by falling asleep soon became her sweet release from the world and the one place where she could be reunited with Bucky Barnes once more. Once asleep she would enjoy that brief respite of time before the heart-breaking reality of life without her love at her side burst to the forefront of her mind...
"Bucky Barnes what on earth are you up to?" laughed Brogan, still clinging onto the crisp white sheet wrapped loosely around her body. She looked over and could see her now equally naked new husband leaning over the huge marble bathtub that was sunk onto the floor of the wedding suite "You really are something else you know that right?"
"I thought it was obvious what I'm doing" grinned Bucky, checking the temperature for the final time and quickly getting to his feet "Im running a bath and you wife are going to join me.. "
It was almost at times like Bucky was some kind of drug for Brogan. Just one touch or look from the man she loved left her intoxicated every time. Just his scent alone sent her into a heady trance, one that would never end until their bodies were joined as one once more and together as two soulmates should be. Gently tugging the sheet that was draped around the delicate skin of his new wife, Bucky watched it pool at her feet as he edged closer and was just close enough so she could inhale his scent. Reaching forward he ran his hand gently up her side before edging across her stomach And before long began to massage her breast. Brogan let out a soft moan at his touch and soon met his eyes as his hand gently began caressing her curls. Holding her head in his hand, Bucky's thumb softly brushed against her lower lip as he leant forward and kissed her hard, taking her breath away. Not only was they soulmates and shared a deep bond, their bodies fit perfectly together and was made for intimate moments like this. Saying nothing, Bucky scooped her up and carried her through the cloudy fragrant mist filling the bathroom and back over to the sunken tub. Kissing her once again as he climbed into the tub and gently lay her on the floor below. Kneeling in the water, their eyes locked on one another for a brief moment... Love, lust and desire filling both their gazes
Still kissing her, Bucky pushed Brogan's legs apart and moved into the space between then. So close that there was no room between their bodies. He pressed further into her, loving the deep moans escaping her mouth and the feel of Brogan's wet skin against his as he brushed against her through the cloudy mass of water now enveloping them both. After yet another passionate kiss, Bucky let his hand slip under the water and soon began to explore the bud of nerves between her legs. Passing his thumb over her core, he instantly felt her jerk and her body tremble as he touched her so intimately. Looking down at her below, Bucky could see how her face changed. Her pupils blown wide, not focusing but just riding on the sensations that he was making her feel at his touch. Within seconds, Brogan began to shake as she gripped onto the sides of the bath. Each pass over her core making her soul climb higher. That coil she could feel in her centre becoming tighter as Bucky slipped a finger inside her. Instantly Brogan could see stars as he began to explore her and search for that special spot that would make the world around them both disappear. Plunging his fingers remorsefully, Brogan gripped onto his shoulder as she literally rode out the trembles of the tremendous orgasm he had given her.
Before he gave her chance to recover, Bucky positioned himself at the front of her entrance and used the top of the bath to steady himself over her. Pushing forward he was now deep inside her and looked down at her in the water below. Lust and desire for the love of his life was etched all over his face, his long hair soaking wet sticking to his cheeks and eyes so dark with want you almost couldn't see the blueness within. Bucky leant down and kissed her again, sloppy yet tender kisses as he continued to thrust into his love and soulmate, merging them as one. All Brogan could feel now was him filling her, completing her and her knowing never wanted this to stop...
Meeting each of his thrusts with her own movements, Brogan soon began to feel the tension inside her soul once more and almost instantly she climaxed on him for the second time. Looking down at her, Bucky moved her damped curls from her face and noted her mouth drop open yet no sound emerge. He felt her inner walls tremble tightly around him as she past the point of no return and hit her peak once more. After several more deep thrusts into her pelvis, Bucky gave in too and emptied himself inside her. For him right now it felt like he was entering heaven as he gave into the intense deep physical pleasure from the woman he loved. The world around them both slipping away as he collapsed onto her chest...
Not long afterwards, Bucky was now sitting between Brogan's knees with his back pressed against her chest. Slowly she reached for a nearby jug, filled it with water and slowly poured it over the long locks of his hair. With her other hand massaging his firm muscular torso, Bucky turned his head slightly and kissed her hard. Merging their lips together and allowing his tongue to explore and entwine in her mouth...
"You really are amazing Brogan. You know that right?" cried Bucky, leaning further back as Brogan continued to massage the soap over his chest "I honestly thought after everything, I'd never be worthy of someone's love. Let alone someone as amazing and incredible as you. I'm a lucky guy that's for sure and I'm counting my blessings"
"Whatever you did back then is in the past. Our future is a bright one now Bucky Barnes and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You've changed my world and I love you for it" Bucky managed to turn around to face her, leaving the two pressed even closer as her wet skin slid again at his as they kissed softly in the water "we're never going to be apart Bucky Barnes...Our story is just beginning.. I love you "
"I love you too...and as much as I'd love to stay like this forever what the hell has happened to my hand? Something tells me we've been in here a bit too long" he laughed as Brogan could see his eyes still full of deep lust as his pupils began to dilate huge once more. Already she could feel his growing hardness pressing against her thigh "So how bout we dry off and continue this in the bedroom Mrs Barnes?"
"lead the way then husband" watching him get to his feet and hold out his hand to her Brogan smiled "I love you James Buchanan Barnes... Always"
Almost instantly, Brogan woke up with a start as the deeply intimate and erotic flashback disappeared back into the cloudy mist of her mind. Sitting up in the bed alone, her eyes began taking in the dimly lit surroundings of the room that had been her home for the past four years. Struggling to breathe, she placed her hand over her chest as her heart was pounding furiously within. Yes her heart may of been pounding but her mind was now empty as the intimate images vanished. Quickly she grabbed her diary and scribbled down the vision, just as she always did whenever Bucky appeared in her dreams. Instantly she began to feel that bit more relaxed thanks to the images. Quickly, Brogan took one last look his photo resting on her beside table and kissed his image. Snuggling back under the covers, she draped his tartan scarf over her shoulders and closed her eyes...desperate to go back to sleep and hopefully be reunited with Bucky once more...
Along the hall, Little Rebecca Barnes was pretty much still awake and sat In bed looking at her "Papa book" that Brogan had compiled since her birth. A photographic album of images she had collected over the years so that although he wasn't physically with them, Rebecca would know who her father was and never forget him. Since his passing Rebecca would sit for hours gazing at his image praying and begging to a higher power that Bucky would return home. Yes, he hadn't been in her life for long but Rebecca loved him with all her heart and that was why Brogan's meeting with Daniel at the support group earlier in the day had upset her so much. Bucky may not have been with them physically but Rebecca knew that he, along with everyone else lost to the snap, would return somehow and peace at last restored to the world.
"Don't worry Papa...James and I will make sure that man won't take Mama away from you" placing her Papa book under the pillow she reached under her bed for her sketchpad. Despite inheriting a lot of Bucky's traits and characteristics, Rebecca had inherited her mother's artistic flair and creativity. Picking up her pencil, she added the final touches to the most incredible drawing of her father. The sketch looked so real and life-like "You'll come home and we'll be a family again" The little girl smiled running her fingers over that of her Papa's cheek before turning the page. Every page filled with more images of his face, along with others she cared about and those lost to the decimation. Shuri, T'challa and even Sam Wilson all bought back to life on the page "You and everyone else will come home soon... Goodnight Papa wherever you are...love you"
