A/N. Hey guys! Guess what? I've written a short novella in the Coffee With you series that takes place between this story and the next, so please go read that in order to understand Proposing in a Coffee Shop to Sonata (did I just get you really excited? I'M EXCITED! But the proposal comes in the 4th book, NOT THE NOVELLA!). No, the novella is not all posted in one chapter. It's split up into 6, which will be MOST LIKELY posted one day after another, but don't kill me if they aren't. ANyway, the novella is just little snippets of the lives of Tania, Steve, and everyone else between now and the future book which will take place in late June early July (just like SAACSWCA!). So... yeah. Here's a sneak peak that is NOT currently posted in the first chapter. Enjoy! ;D

February 21st – "Miss Banks, there is a package for you on the counter in the lounge," JARVIS announced. Tania looked up from playing with Rocky and Steve, who was trying to teach the dog commands in German (she was a German Shepard after all).

"Who from?" she asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"There is no return address, but sources point to SHIELD."

Tania hummed and pushed herself to her feet. "I'll be right back," she told her boyfriend as she exited the room.

"Alright. Be prompt."

She rolled her eyes. "Love you too."

When she entered the lounge, she found Tony and Bruce arguing over whether or not to open her package. She raised an eyebrow. Neither of them had noticed her entrance. She walked right up to them and grabbed the box that was about the size of her Stark issued laptop. Only then did they notice her presence.

"Tania!" they chorused.

She chuckled at them. "I believe it is my mail, therefore I should decide who, when, and where it will be opened." Tony pouted and Bruce looked relieved.

"At least let us see what's inside," the inventor pleaded.

She rolled her eyes but removed it from its position tucked under her arm to place it back on the counter. Tony grinned and Bruce shook his head in amusement but sat down on the bar stool, curious as well.

She began tearing at the brown wrapping paper until she had a flimsy cardboard box with the SHIELD insignia on the top. A sly grin pulled the corners of her lips upward. Of course the others knew about BETA. She'd run it by them before approaching Fury about it. But they didn't know about this – at least, not the details. Not even Steve.

She removed the lid to see a SHIELD uniform, pressed and cleaned to perfection. Tony and Bruce gaped. She grabbed the cat suit by the shoulders and lifted it up high to examine it. It was remarkably similar to Natasha's, seeing as they had the same clearance level. However, there were a few differences because Natasha would carry gun holsters and a utility belt and Widow Bites/Stings and wear fingerless gloves. Tania had a different idea.

It was black and thick, made of stretchy and comfortable material. She rubbed the fabric between her index finger and her thumb, admiring the smoothness of it. The insignia was patched onto the shoulder, like all SHIELD uniforms with a zipper down the front.

Tony whistled. "Damn. I haven't even seen you in it and I already know how sexy you'll look."

She reached over the counter and slapped his arm lightly, a blush spreading on her cheeks. "I'm only wearing it for missions."

Tony clapped once and spread his arms wide. "Let's go on a mission!"

Tania laughed lightly. "I don't think so. But I may have to try it on… make sure it fits."

"Great."

"In my room."

"Even better."

"Without you."

"Aw, come on!"

"Settle down, Tony," Bruce cautioned. "This is bordering on sexual harassment."

Tony sighed. "Fine. Go try it on for no one to see."

"Actually," Tania said as she packed the uniform back in the box, "I think I'll model it for Steve. See what he thinks."

Tony made a noise akin to whining. "You're going to break him."

She chuckled. "He's not totally innocent. You of all people know we've had sex before."

Bruce winced. Tony didn't. "You're still going to break him. I'll bet you haven't done anything kinky yet."

Her cheeks coloured and she quickly excused herself before rushing out of the room toward the elevator. The Science Bros exchanged a shocked glance. "Do you think-?"

"Nah. Cap's not like that. He's more of a, 'sex is for consummating love' type of guy, not a, 'sex is fun, let's fuck,' type of guy."
Bruce just stared.

Upstairs, Tania exited the bathroom in her complete uniform, a little self-conscious. The suit was skin tight (which she'd anticipated) but black was supposed to be slimming anyway. It fit her like a glove perfectly (when had she given SHIELD her dress size…?) and she paired it with her black, lace-up, leather combat boots with miniature heels. Around her waist was the red, white, and blue scarf that Pepper had gotten her to match the same colour schemed headband on her head. Her long brown hair was in a ponytail (she needed a haircut soon) and she wore the black leather gloves (with fingers, unlike Natasha's) on her hands.

She stepped into the bedroom, one long leg at a time. Steve looked up from rubbing Rocky's belly and froze. His eyes trailed up her calves and thighs to her torso and finally, her beautiful face. He gulped as heat pooled low in his stomach and Rocky rolled over to walk away.

"Well? What do you think?" she asked, pivoting on the spot for him nervously. He could see the flush in her face and knew she was embarrassed about revealing so much without actually revealing anything skin-wise. He slowly pushed himself to his feet, never taking his eyes off her.

"I think… that's the sexiest thing I've ever seen."

The blush deepened on her cheeks and he could feel his own face bloom with heat but he wasn't going to stop now. He stepped closer to her and took her hand in his, staring down into her eyes. "Really?"

He nodded enthusiastically. "Except for one thing."

She visibly deflated – just a little bit. "What?"

He leaned forward and whispered in her ear.

Her eyes widened. "Why Captain, I don't believe I've ever seen this side of you."

"That's the beauty of living with me," he said hoarsely as his left hand fingers trailed up her spine, leaving tingles behind as she shivered. His right hand drifted to the zipper, the tips of his fingers brushing against the skin of her chest. He slowly pulled it down without looking away from her in depth eyes. "You learn something new every day."

When the zipper was all the way down, she shrugged her arms out of the suit and kicked it down her legs and to the side, leaving her in her underwear. He rubbed his hands down her arms and began kissing her neck feverishly, gripping her wrists tightly.

"Mm…" she hummed contentedly, closing her eyes, "and what did you learn about me?"

"That you are the sexiest person alive."

She giggled. "You didn't already know that?"

A laugh escaped his throat and his hands lowered to her waist and pulled her closer to him. "I did. But I got to see exactly how amazingly gorgeous you are in a whole new light."

Their lips met in a passionate kiss as his shirt was hastily removed and then his pants. They fell onto the bed. The rest, as they say, is history.

A/N. Did that make you want to read the novella? I hope so. But don't worry, no actual sex is described. I don't write that - ever. Anyway, this is just a little scene from chapter 2, the month of February, which you can read (probably) tomorrow. You'll see the format when you see the novella. Happy reading and feel free to review! XD
