Nat groaned, her entire body was sore and all her muscles hurta. She had forgotten that James was a very competitive person. Earlier that evening she had decided to go for a swim hoping that she would get tired enough into exhausting herself.

Ever since James had recovered his memories Nat and him had been playing a cat and mouse game. It took only one glance for Nat to realize he was back. It took one glance from James to realize that she would not talk to him about it and just hide from their shared past.

Call it a sixth sense but when Nat started swimming that evening James had shown up as well. Nat stared at him for a moment before she carried on with her laps. He jumped in the water and wuickly adjusted his own swimming to her rythm. One lap became two, two became five and pretry soon they were both swimming as fast as possible each trying to outrun the other.

Halfway theough Stev and Clint had shown up, Friday had probably alerted them of the apontaneus swimming competition. It was an odd situation for all of fhw partiea involved. Steve felt betrayed that Natasha had never fully explained her Relationship with his best friend. Clint was acting as an overprotective big brother slash conscience for Natasha while Tony out of al the Avengers had been pushing for a confrontation between Nat and Bucky.

As irritating as it felt for Nat to go to extreme lengths to avoid him, Bucky also felt sligthly proud and amused by her succes up until then. She had been using everything he ever thaught her against him extremely well. However they both knew eventually his patience would run out and then heads would roll.

Clint had managed to drag Steve away and and Bucky changed his tactics. He slowly made his way towards the end of the poolleaving Nat to finish her laps. Once he got out of the pool he used his towel to dry himself looking over to Nat's side. She too, he noticed, was making her way out of the water.

Nat made her way slowly to him, ignoring the pain in her muscles. She knew that she had pushed herself over the limit and that come morning she'd come to regret it. When she reached James Nat move her hand to take his towel from him. He watched her closely , one of his eyebrows raised at her. She let the towel drop at their feet before taking one small stept towards him and then another and then another until she was standing in between his legs.

His arm went around her back resting in her hip, the cold qet metal making her shiver from a sudden flow of memories. She rised of her toes her mouth close to his collarborne and sropped to look at him. „Be sure of your next action Talia, for if I taste you now I will not let you leave my bed for a long while".

„Promises, promises, old man." She locked her hand in his hhair bringing his lips to hers. When they finally met she made a small jump in his arms, her legs wrapping against his hips, her mouth moving over his. She demanded his attention, their kiss full of raw need. Suddenly Nat felt him pushing her against the glass wall overseeing Nee York from the Avengers Tower.

James moved his mouth to her collarborne and neck, his kisses and tongue moving alowly on her neck towards her breasts. Nat couldn't quite remember how and when he'd managed to untie the top of her bikini but all of the sudden it was gone from her body. „Friday could you please turn off the video surveillance in here and make sure we're not disturbed? She half moaned her request to the tower IA.

-„Of course miss Romanoff." The door to the pool shut down the locks on it being heard across the room.

-„If you're still able to think then I'm not doing this properly" James mumbled as he placed Nat's legs on the floor. He quickly disposed of her bikini, his tongue tracing the scar she had on her hip. His finger entered her slowly and she threw her head against the glass behind her as his lips followed.

He didn't hesitate attacking her as if she was an all you can eat buffet and he a man that had been starving. Nat's legs tarted to give in because the man had always known how to use his tongue when dealing with her. He didn't give her time to adjust though. Just as she reached her peak he moved hia lips raking everything she had to give in.

-„James. Fuck. JAMES" Nat wailed trying to catch her breathe. He looked at her for a moment his hand still playing with her clit. He then moved spinning her around befpre penetrating her. His hand wenr to her breast while his other hand pulled her head back to him as he started moving. His lips were sucking on ber skin in a way he knew marks would be visible. And suddenly he decided that that would become a regular thing for them. He liked the idea of other people seeing she was claimed, it was rhe one thing they could never do back in the Red Room. To brand each other and let other people know they already belonged to someone. His moves increased as her hand moved to her clir her own movements frantic while matching his own. He turned his head looking at her through the glasa refletion.

-„Talia look at me." She stared at him through the glass as well. „This is where we start. No more running no more games. This is us now". She nodded her head to his as her orgasm hit her again. He finished after a couple of more moves. He caught her as they both fell in a tangled mess on the floor, his hand in her hair moving her head to kiss her again.

So I guess a review would be nice right about now?
