Author´s note:

Hello everyone!

I´ve decided to give this story a little twist before CA:CW debuts, because after that I know everything will change in my head! I mean, I´ll still love Romanogers, but I like writing fanfics that follows the last events on Marvel movies. I´ve watched the trailer probably a thousand times already! I´m still a little mad that Natasha is on Ironman´s team, but I got a feeling that she will change sides during the movie, so let´s wait and see.

I had this idea going in my mind for some time and decided to write it down. I don´t know where exactly I´ll go from here, but it will probably unroll on the next chapter, don´t worry! So, I hope you all enjoy it!

It was early morning at the Avenger´s facility. Natasha Romanoff woke up and blinked a few times looking at the ceiling. Her body tensed up because her brain was alerting her that she wasn't in her room, but in a few seconds, the memories of last night flooded in her mind and her body relaxed. She smiled and looked to the side, where Steve Rogers was lying next to her, still sleeping. They were lying on Steve´s bed, Steve was lying on his side with one of his hands resting over Natasha´s belly. They were wearing nothing but the white sheet that was covering them. Natasha watched Steve´s sleeping form for a moment, and remembered how amazing it was to make love to him, even better than she had predicted. Yes, she had fantasized about this moment a few times, but the real thing was a million times better. It wasn´t just sex, Steve made her feel treasured and loved. And that was a new thing for her.

Natasha studied the handsome soldier´s face with a smile on her own. He looked so peaceful that she didn´t want to wake him up, so she carefully slipped out of the bed and quietly looked around the room for her clothes. She quickly picked up her panties and bra that were on the floor nearby to put them on. Just as she finished hooking her bra, she heard Steve shifting on the bed. She turned around to find him prop up on his elbow, the sheet now covering only the lower part of his body, leaving his bare chest exposed. Even with his hair messed up, he still looked so hot. Natasha sighed inwardly because she still couldn´t believe how lucky she was to have a man like Steve with her.

Steve was looking at her with a smile on his face. He was feeling so happy and fulfilled after last night that he couldn´t help but smile when he looked at her. And he didn´t want this feeling to end, so he asked playfully: "Where do you think you´re going?"

Natasha smiled back at him briefly and then said: "I should get back to my room before the others wake up."

Steve knew that Natasha was a reserved person but he still frowned and asked: "Why? I don´t mind if they find out about us."

"Well, I do…" Natasha said, and then turned her back to him, going to pick up her jeans that were thrown on a corner.

Steve was aware that he would have to take things slow with Natasha. She was very defensive when it came to relationships, specially after Bruce left her, but it still hurt him a little that she didn´t want the others to know about them yet. He took a deep breath as he stood up and grabbed his boxers that were on the floor by the bed. He put them on and made his way to Natasha, gently grabbing her arm before she had a chance to put on her pants. Steve turned her around so that she was now looking at him and said: "Right, because you have a reputation to maintain."

Natasha met his eyes and replied seriously: "Yeah, something like that…" She noticed that Steve had a hurtful expression on his face so she added softly: "I just don´t wanna rush into anything, okay Steve?"

Steve slowly nodded at her: "Okay, will take it slow...if that´s what you want."

Natasha smiled a little in reply. Both of them unknown to the fact that their team mates already suspected that they were together.

Then Steve eyes aimed a little lower as he admired how beautiful she looked in her white lace underwear. He said with a smirk: "But I still don´t get it why bikinis are ruined for you. You look amazing like this." Steve eyes went back up to her face and he saw that Natasha´s smile was wider.

Natasha looked down at her body and observed the several scars, saying: "The scars…I can´t hide them."

Steve grabbed her waist with his free hand and pulled her body close to his as he said in a lower tone: "I didn´t even noticed them…your curves are just too…distracting." He lean his head down and placed a searing kiss on her shoulder.

Natasha closed her eyes for a moment, enjoying the feel of Steve´s kiss on her skin, and then she recalled that she had to go, so she said: "Steve…I…" But her words were cut off her throat when Steve lips moved to her neck and she moaned a little before she was able to focus again to continue: "I should go…"

Steve backed away a little to meet her eyes: "I´m not ready to let you go yet." He then placed a light kiss on her lips before he continued: "Besides, you´re a super spy. I think you can manage to sneak back to your room without anyone seeing you." He placed another kiss on her lips.

Natasha was feeling too good in her spot and didn´t had the will to refuse Steve at that moment, so when they broke the kiss, she said softly: "Okay soldier, you´ve got me."

Steve felt happy with his little victory and just smiled at Natasha for a moment. Then he quickly picked her up in his arms, taking Natasha by surprise again, just like he did last night.

Natasha didn´t say anything this time, she just smiled back at him and made a mental note that she should probably have to get used to Steve carrying her around bridal style, which was not bad, as long as he kept doing it when they were alone because she didn´t want to look weak in front of the others.

Steve took her to his bed and laid her down with him on top of her. He leaned down and kissed her lips passionately. Natasha kissed him back and placed her hands on his shoulders, then as the kiss deepened, her hands traveled down to his broad and muscular back.

But, before they could get any further, Natasha´s phone rang and interrupted the moment. Steve broke the kiss and said a little frustrated: "Oh! Come on! Can´t the bad guys give us some peace for a couple of days!"

Natasha gently pushed Steve out of the way with a teasing smile on her face: "Don´t worry soldier, I´ll make it up to you later." She winked at him.

Steve gave her a half-smile.

Natasha quickly made her way to her jacket, that was tossed on the floor, and took her ringing phone from it´s pocket. She looked at it saying: "It´s Stark."

Steve let out an exasperation breath as he sat on the edge of his bed, observing as Natasha answered the phone with an annoyed tone: "Stark, this is better be important!"

Tony Stark replied on the other side: "So… you´re not a morning person, are you little red? Sorry for calling you this early, but I have news for you!"

Tony made a dramatic pause hoping Natasha was going to eagerly ask him about it, but instead she replied with disdain: "Just spill it Stark!"

Tony felt a little disappointed, but just a little because he knew what he had to say would get to her, so he continued enthusiastically: "I found Bruce!" And he silently wished that he was there to see her face.

Steve watched as Natasha´s expression changed from annoyed to troubled. He immediately stood up because he wanted to know what was making her so agitated.

Natasha just stared at the wall in front of her and bit her lower lip as all sort of feelings that she had buried started to surface again. Loss, sadness, anger, regret. Between all those emotions, she managed to ask Tony: "Where?"

Tony replied in his conceited tone: "He was on a small Pacific island, he didn´t want to come home, but you know how I can be convincing when I want to! Plus, I have all the science toys that he likes to play with, so right now, he´s here at the Avengers Tower."

There was silence between them for a while as Natasha started pacing from side to side trying to organize her thoughts about this situation. She felt very relieved to know that Bruce was okay and part of her wanted to see him, but the other part of her was afraid of what could happen if she went to him, especially now that she was with Steve.

Steve just watched her intensely, eager to find out what was going on.

Not that Tony expected Natasha to thank him, but he added: "You´re welcome."

At that, Natasha stopped pacing and replied absentminded: "Right…" She quickly looked at Steve, she meet his worried eyes for a moment, wondering how this would affect them, but she looked away again as Tony started to talk: "He told me how sorry he was for the way he left things with you and that you would probably punch him on the face if you see him again, which I strongly suggest against it, you know, because of the green guy…"

Natasha interrupted him: "The thought crossed my mind, yeah…but I´m passed that stage."

"Oh, good! Cause I think you two need to talk." Stark concluded.

"He has my number. He could have called me anytime." Natasha replied in a bitter tone which made Steve furrow his brown in suspicion as he tried to figure out what the hell they were talking about.

Tony explained: "Well, he said that some things have to be talked face-to-face. So, why don´t you come over?"

Natasha hesitated for a moment, but she realized that she needed closure on this matter in order to move on, so she replied: "Fine. I´m on my way."

"Great! See you soon!" Tony hung up.

Natasha put her phone down from her ear and just stared at its blank screen for a moment, lost in her thoughts.

Steve brought her out of her trance when he asked: "What´s going on?"

Natasha put her blank expression mask on and looked at him saying: "Bruce is back…he wants to talk to me."

"Oh…" Was all that Steve could reply as a sting of jealousy hit him. He tensed his jaws for a moment. He wanted to ask her how she felt about this, but he was afraid of what she might answer. She still wasn´t officially his girlfriend, they had only spent a night together, so he didn´t want to push her away by acting possessive over her. It was very hard for him not to do that, but he held his ground and just silently watched Natasha grabbing the remaining of her clothes to get dressed to leave.

When Natasha finished getting dressed, she went to Steve and stopped in front of him, saying seriously: "I´m going to take a shower and head to the Avengers Tower. I´ll call you when I get back."

Steve didn´t want to miss this meeting for anything because he was uncertain of how Natasha felt about Bruce and he was ready to fight for her if he had too. He had to be there, he wouldn´t stand to just sit in his room all day waiting for her to return. Actually he was done waiting, he did that a good portion of his life already, so he replied firmly:"I´m going with you!"

Natasha frown as she looked at Steve, she didn´t think having Steve there would make it any easier for her, so she tried to explain that: "Steve…I don´t…"

But Steve interrupted her: "Please, don´t argue with me! I´m coming too!" Natasha was taken aback a little for how strong his tone was. Steve noticed that and continued in a softer tone, trying to find a way to disguise the fact that he was jealous: "I want to see how Bruce is doing after all this time…"

Natasha narrowed her eyes for a moment because she knew that was a lame excuse for him to join her, but she also knew what a stubborn man he could be, so she just let it go: "Okay…I´ll meet you at the garage in 15 minutes. I´m driving." She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and left.

Steve knew that Natasha suspected that the real reason for him to come along was because he was afraid of losing her, and what scared him the most was that Natasha didn´t even tried to make him fell like he had nothing to worry about. He took a deep breath to calm his nerve a bit, and went to get ready too, thinking how his perfect good mood was now ruined.
