Chapter 2- let me spoil you a bit

Thanks to these lovely reviewers for reading: Chase-Mistress, Sweetly Sarcastic, Wish.He.Was.Mine.x, HotWolfGirl, and werewolfofalagaesia

And who knows we could see "Kyle dead at the bottom of a ravine" lol, I love all your reactions to Kyle, it's giving me such good ideas for his ultimate demise! Sadly he won't be gone this story, he will be around for quite sometime, and if you paid attention to the part about Bucky and Gabriel hunting him down and discovering his whole ritual's you can guess that his role and his secrets are far from being found out.

Jenny and Bucky started on their meals, she had a pasta plate and he was dining on lobster.

"So when are you going to start at the college?" he forked out the meat from the tail.

"In August, right before classes actually start. I've been to the room, it's for a smaller class size of course,"

"What level do you teach?"

"311, and 324."

"Ah, junior level. I kind of miss being in college sometimes, but then that was only 2 years ago." He laughed; Bucky is 29 years old, Jenny 26.

"You can't miss it too bad with how well you are doing with your job." She smiled and twirled pasta around her fork before eating it.

"True," he laughed and they continued the next few moments in comfortable silence.

"This place is amazing Bucky, thanks for taking me out." She said as she paused during the meal.

He smiled up at her and reached over to take her hand.

"I'm glad I could take you."

"How's your contracting business coming?" Bucky owned his own building firm, and it was small enough that he had started a new building here in Vermont and would drive down to his old building. He had let one of his higher ups take over as vice president of the business.

"It's a decent pace, I have three larger homes under contract, I've been drawing out the plans with my designers for the second."

When they finished their meal, Bucky asked what she wanted for desert and when she said that she couldn't possibly have more, he said that he thought she could and ordered a piece of chocolate cake drowned in dark chocolate fudge for them to split.

"Are you trying to spoil me?"

"Yes, am I succeeding?" he smiled.

"Of course." She laughed. They continued to talk about his work; she was interested in his small business that he had moved up here with him. He had always lived near the pack, just like other members. Pack was family and it was hard to separate from one another.

The desert came and it was so beautifully stylized that Jenny didn't want to mess it up. Bucky had other ideas however. He forked a piece and held it in front of her face swirling the piece around.

"I know you want a bite." He teased and she opened her mouth to the food. Gently he put it in and watched in desire as she closed her mouth over it, he wanted to taste those lips again. She chewed and a very satisfied look glazed her eyes over.

Bucky ate some for himself, his appetite close to being sated. His mind drifted to when they would be back at the car. How before they would take off he would pull her into his arms, and kiss her without holding back this time. Or maybe he would prolong the wait until they were home in the garage. No one would be in there so he could take his sweet time.

"Hey, did you hear about that lights show they have downtown?"

"Um, I think I saw something about it in the newspaper." He said as he was pulled out of his fantasy. "When is it?" his thumb played over her hand.

"Tomorrow, I had planned on taking Maggie…would you like to come with us?"

"Yes, very much." He smiled and lifted her hand to his mouth. He playfully bit her knuckles. When they finished their meal it was 9: 30 and Bucky paid for the bill then wrapped Jenny's coat around her. He followed behind her rejoicing in how smooth the evening was going. Then he thought that perhaps he shouldn't push her for a kiss. Even though he wanted it he needed to think with the head on his shoulders, not the one between his legs. At the door she turned to him, and then she slowly took his hand that he didn't realize he had stretched out towards her.

She laced her small fingers with his larger ones and leaned against his shoulder.

"Have a good evening sir, madam," the seating host said at the door.

"Thank you we will," answered Bucky. He knew they were going to continue having a good evening.

Again, being such the gentleman, he opened her door for her, holding onto her hand for as long as he could before closing the door.

He drew in the winter air into his lungs as he slowly crossed in front of the car, debating what to do when he got in. He opened his door and lowered himself into the seat; he saw that Jenny had once again removed her coat. She trembled a little from the cold car, waiting for Bucky to turn on the heat. He started the car and adjusted the dials, but he didn't put on his seatbelt just yet, he stared at the steering wheel for a moment. Finally he looked up at his date.

"Do you want to drive around for awhile before we go home?" he asked softly, Jenny nodded her head and watched as he buckled his seatbelt. He backed the car out of the space and took off back onto the road. Instead of going back onto the highway, Bucky drove downtown. Jenny watched as many people turned their heads to see the Ferrari, and then she looked back at her date, smiling at him and only for him.

She hadn't been pampered like this for such a long time. When Bucky came to a stoplight they caught each other's eye and started to laugh for no reason, it had been tensely silent up till now and they just relaxed again.

Jenny let out a relaxed sigh after they stopped laughing and let Bucky put his hand on her knee. Reluctantly he took his hand off her knee to change gears as he left the stoplight and drove on. When they reached a steady speed his hand touched her knee again and she smiled at him. They went through neighborhoods and admired the lights, falling into line with other cars that were cruising. When they pulled into a cul-de-sac that went all out every year, with the resident's standing outside, some dressed as elves and one as Santa they watched the Ferrari drive around.

"Do you always enjoy getting this much attention with your car?" she joked.

"You better believe it. I love my car." He patted the steering wheel lovingly. It was 10:30 already and they started to head back.

"When it gets warmer and the roads are dry, I'll show you what this car can do." He grinned and merged onto the highway.

"How fast can we go?" Bucky wondered if those words had a double meaning.

"About 200mph, not that I have any place to do that, but I've always wanted to take this to a track and drive it around."

"Well you'll have to take me along," she said with a light tone, but she really did want to be there, it was thrilling to be in such a fast car.

They pulled into the long tree lined driveway of the inn. As the car climbed the driveway, Jenny undid her seatbelt and took a chance, she leaned against his shoulder, snuggling against him, and she felt him relax underneath him.

He pulled into the garage and stopped the car, undid his seatbelt and then pulled her into his arms. She laid her head against his chest, snaking her arms around his waist. His heart pounded wildly, she could hear it easily, and he rubbed her back and buried his nose in her hair.

After a few minutes they separated.

Bucky came to Jenny and drew her back into his arms. She wrapped her arms around his waist again and he did the same as they walked back to the house. Along the snowy path he pulled her closer from the cold, their heads resting together. Sneaking up the back steps they entered the kitchen quietly. Walking to the second floor Jenny went to Magda's room and knocked softly. Magda opened the door and smiled at the two. She ushered Jenny in, Bucky stood outside the door, his gaze lingering on Jenny.

"Sorry we were out so late—" Jenny started to say as she picked up Maggie and wolfie.

Magda shook her head smiling, saying it was perfectly fine. Jenny cradled her daughter against her and Bucky took the plush wolf for her. They climbed to the third floor and Jenny opened her door ushering Bucky inside, she placed Maggie in the basinet and put the wolf in with her.

She hung her coat in her closet and turned to Bucky, they walked out of the room.

"Thank you for tonight." She whispered, as they stood closer than just a moment before.

"I'm glad you wanted to go out with me.' He leaned in and kissed her forehead softly, his lips leaving promise of more that sent fire through her body. She looked up at him, her heart calling to him.

"I intend to spoil you more and more." He smiled at her and walked down the hallway. Her scent was all over him and he closed his door leaning against it, sighing heavily. His dreams of finally holding her had come true, and he knew deep inside that he hadn't pushed her into anything she didn't want.

Jenny undressed herself and curled into bed, reminiscing on the night, how he pulled her to him and that brief but wonderful moment when he kissed her head; though she would have liked him to kiss her mouth. Briefly she felt bad, like she hadn't mourned for Stefan long enough, he was a wonderful husband, and could set her on fire like Bucky had done tonight, but not often enough. She sighed and wondered some more, was it smart to be falling for another man so fast?

Why not? Bucky was making her happy, and she loved that he was open to Maggie and that he was spoiling her. She stretched languorously and then curled into a tight ball. Bucky was still on her mind in her dreams, his lips gracing her's even then.

Bucky returned from his bathroom and sat on the bed in boxers and a tee shirt that clung to his chest. He couldn't get rid of the large smile on his face. Finally he lay down and fell asleep.

During the night Maggie awoke Jenny and as she tried to get her back to sleep by rocking her in the chair; Jenny continued to think about Bucky. Finally Maggie went back to sleep. Jenny rubbed her tired eyes. She retreated to her bathroom and closed the door softly. She turned on the light, and touched her forehead where Bucky kissed her goodnight. Standing at the mirror she pulled at her shirt collar.

Stefan's mark had been gone for a long time now. That's how it worked; you were marked for life until your mate died. She touched the spot underneath her collarbone where it had once been. They were mates for five years, and even though the mark was gone she could imagine it there.

God, she had been so alone that year after he died. She cried for him for 7 months and the next five she moved through the world like a shadow. Coming to Vermont had brought peace to Jenny's mind. Her skin still felt warm from Bucky's touch.

Turning off the light she wandered across her bedroom that was illuminated by the moonlight. She went over to her dresser and opened her jewelry box on top, pulling out her wedding band. She had taken it off for the date and she didn't feel the need to put it back on, not just yet anyways. She loved Stefan, but didn't need the comfort of a ghostly reminder tonight, she had thoughts of Bucky, alive and strong and oh so warm and tender.

It was too cold to wander out to her balcony so she curled back in bed and finally sleep came to her.

The next morning Bucky woke up and ventured downstairs. He knew Gabriel and Vivian would be at their vacation lodge right now, so that meant Bucky would have to handle any problems that could happen. Hopefully none would come, but Bucky was more than capable.

He found him alone in the kitchen and the same in living room. This made sense because it was 6: 30, he was always an early riser, but it was Saturday so he could have slept in. He walked over to the large window and leaned against his arm that was against the frame. His breath left frost on the glass as he looked out at the newly fallen snow.

Apparently Jenny was an early riser too. She descended the stairs by herself and caught the scent of Bucky in the kitchen, which she followed to the living room. She quietly snuck in the room and paced barefooted to Bucky. He did not hear her come in and turned his head in surprise slightly when her hands slid up his back to his heavy shoulders. She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned her small body against his larger one.

He smiled and kissed her arm slowly then pulled her around cradling her to his chest. He buried his nose in her hair and rubbed her back.

"I was thinking about you." Bucky said and kissed her hair.

"I was too." She moved her mouth to his neck and kissed his throat slowly. Bucky moaned softly and drew her mouth to his. His hand wrapped around her head as her mouth opened to his. He slid his tongue in while his mouth moved against hers. Slowly their tongues pressed together but they were suddenly interrupted by the sound of a baby crying. Their mouths broke apart and Jenny disentangled herself, her baby monitor on her hip was announcing that Maggie was awake and hungry.

"I completely forgot why I came down here when I saw you," she laughed and turned down the monitor. She looked shyly up at Bucky and smiled when he did.

"I better go get her." She said, but she wrapped her fingers through his.

"I'll make you both breakfast, go ahead and get her." And before she pulled away he tugged her back and claimed her mouth again. She ran upstairs to get Maggie and calmed her down.

By the time she changed the diaper and brought her back down to the kitchen Bucky was standing beside the oven. He had set up Maggie's highchair beside the bar and poured a bowl of cheerios for her. Jenny placed Maggie in the chair and left her to her cereal, which she ate happily.

He was making her scrambled eggs. They were her favorite. She wrapped her arms around his waist and nuzzled his shoulder.

"You are so wonderful Bucky." She said and kissed his neck. He responded by squeezing her hand with his.

"I told you I was going to spoil you." He told her as he fixed her plate and pulled the bacon out of the microwave. Jenny sat on the stool beside her daughter, placing on the tray some juice and waited for Bucky to join her on her opposite side. They ate and occasionally Bucky would wrap his arm around Jenny's waist and reach over to tickle Maggie. She giggled and would grab onto his finger. After they finished eating, Bucky slid the dishes to the side and pulled Jenny back into his arms.

"Now, where were we?" And with that he kissed her again this time she was quicker to respond to his tongue and clutched him as their mouths became acquainted. They tasted each other thoroughly and when they pulled apart they couldn't help but cuddle still and be close.

Bucky took them outside an hour later for a walk in the woods. On the porch he laughed when Maggie latched onto his leg, he picked her up and she pulled at his jacket. He balanced her on his hip and then wrapped his other arm around Jenny. He kissed her sweetly on her cheek and they walked across the snowy yard into the woods.

She leaned her head on his shoulder as they walked down the snowy path. Jenny felt happier than she had been in a long time. Maggie looked at the two adults and reached over to her mom, who kissed her and then Maggie lay her head on Bucky's shoulder again. Jenny wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed his neck.

"You are perfect." She said and they continued down the path. Bucky revealed in the fact that he was making her happy finally.

Woohoo! Two chapters! I actually reread this chapter and rewrote a lot of it, so yay!I don't want their relationship going to fast so I'm trying to cut down on too much sap. I hope you enjoyed it! Please review!

Love,
