Steve was a little paler than usual when he heard we were to be a couple but we both nodded to each other before picking up our files and heading to our quarters. Once I got back to my room I sat on my bed and read through the basics of the report. We were to be positioned in the Hotel de Rois in New Orleans and were meant to be very affectionate and over the top but must make them think we are ambitious and try to find out who they work for. I was going to fine but Steve was another matter. I read through the reports further before grabbing my packed bag and heading for the deck.

I met up with Steve on the deck and we walked to the jet that would take us to an airport so we could catch a private jet to New Orleans, so as not to raise suspicion. We were handed to packages containing all of our new identification and sat down for the flight. We sat in silence as we read through the rest of our information and looked through our identification. I was to be Natalie Danvers and Steve was Steve Foster. We were very much in love and were about to be married, we were wealthy from running drugs and weapons on the black market but it was new money so we loved buying materialistic things. We were to fly in on a private jet and would be staying in the presidential suite at the hotel. Our main meeting would be the night after we arrived. The room we were to stay in was bugged and S.H.I.E.L.D planned to leave it that way as they liked to let the targets think they had the upper hand. I could see Steve was nervous about having to fake a relationship with me and I was apprehensive as to how he would cope but when we landed and got aboard the plane he seemed to have relaxed a little or at least stated to get used to the idea.

As soon as the seat belt sign flicked off we both undid our belts and Steve stood up and stretched.

"We need to get started soon" I said to Steve and he visibly tensed.

"Look why don't you sit down and relax we just need to go through a few things, just to see where we're at," I said and he sat down and nodded, relaxing only a little.

"Right when we get there we are going to walk into the hotel, you are going to have your hand around my waist, okay?" I said looking into his eyes, he looked back at me and nodded,

"You will need to be receptive to everything I do, if I do something you need to be seamless in accepting what I do and try to extend upon it if you can. So if I hold your hand, you need to kiss me on the cheek or put your hand around my waist. We need to be touching in some way as much possible. Forget your personal space, when we sit down if on a couch for instance you will put your arm me, if you cross your legs cross them towards me and make sure to look at me every thirty seconds if not sooner. Do you have all of that?" I asked making sure I hadn't gone to fast,

"I think so. I just need to respond to whatever you and make sure our actions are as intimate as possible and my reaction has to be perfect." He said trying to talk as if he was receiving tactical orders instead of information on how to act that went against everything he was raised with.

"It will get easier and if you feel nervous at any time you need to tell me but you need to be as affectionate as possible ok?" I asked trying to put him at ease. He merely nodded and rubbed his hands together.

"Right so if we have to go out clubbing, I know you have gone with Tony but all you need to do is follow my lead and make sure that we are touching all of the time." We ran through possible scenarios and Steve relaxed a bit more with each scenario. About half an hour later the pilot came over the intercom and told us we would be landing in about five minutes. We put on our seatbelts when the light flashed and I turned to Steve,

"The mission begins when we step off this plane, there will be people watching so you will need to be ready." I said hoping beyond all hopes he would pull through. "I can do it Natasha" he said more for himself than for me. Once we landed we removed our belts and we stood. I grabbed his hand and his warmth ran up my arm, I nodded at him and he nodded at me and we made our way to the door.

We made it down the steps me giggling and Steve attempting to keep up, I thought he wasn't going to be able to do it at first but then he took a deep breath and slid his arm around my waist more so than would be considered gentlemanly and I put my arm around his waist, my hand in his back jean pocket. And I smiled; he was going to be fine if he could keep up. We walked over to the car that was waiting and before we got in I stood on my tip toes so as to reach his ear and whispered,

"That was almost perfect now you need to smile like I just told you something I shouldn't have in public" and withdrew biting my lip suggestively and seeing Steve with a smug smile on his face. Once in the car Steve sat with his arm around me and was whispering in my ear about how heavily armed the guards are and I giggled and blushed looking up at the driver before looking at our hands and taking his hand in mine and rubbing his thumb before turning and leaning up to his ear,

"When we get to the hotel don't call me Natasha, and whatever you do," I said as I put my hand on his inner thigh and his breath hitched in his throat and he paled slightly, "don't forget that we are engaged and young, and don't be afraid of public displays, that is an integral part of our cover." I finished kissing his jaw line and I saw his eyes close and I whispered,

"Perfect" as I trailed kisses along his jaw. The car then arrived at the hotel and by the looks of things saving Steve as he bolted from the car before the driver could open the door, I smiled, I really shouldn't like teasing him everyone else already does but how he had his arm around my waist earlier, he obviously could give as good as he got and if I loved anything it was a challenge and to get him to tease me would make the greatest challenge. I got out of the car slowly making sure that he saw a bit of cleavage in the tight black dress I was wearing as I took the hand he offered and whispered once more,

"This entrance is incredibly important this will make or break our cover so you'll have to sell it" I came down off my tip toes and he put his arm around me waist again pulling me close to his side and sliding his hand down so that some of his fingers were just trailing a bit lower than would be considered waist territory. We walked confidently into the hotel me giggling, Steve chuckling. We made our way to the counter and Steve sighed,

"Foster for the Presidential Suite," he said looking at me longingly and took my hand. We were given the key and headed for the elevator, once inside Steve pushed a button and pulled me close and I wrapped my hands around his neck as the doors closed. As soon as they did we parted and the smiles fell from our faces,

"Right that was just right and with any hope they bought it," and then I looked at him and saw how uncomfortable he was, "You are doing great Steve" I said hoping he saw that I was being truthful,

"Natasha I just want to apologise, you know that I wouldn't act this way if the mission didn't call for it I am merely trying to do my job" he said spiralling into embarrassment,

"Steve" I said loudly cutting him off, "This is what we do I know this isn't you but I don't take offence and neither should you so stop ok, you are doing your job and surprisingly well and I can't think of a better partner for this mission." and with that the elevator doors and were back to being engaged.
