Chapter 34
Today she would deliver the files on Bucky to Matt and his partner. Steve wanted to come with her to meet the men who hopefully would help his best friend. She hadn't told Steve in the last days that she used to hook up with Matt before the invasion. Bucky would stay home since he couldn't been seen outside. He was a bit grumpy about it but they all knew that it was for the best. They didn't need the FBI or CIA to storm the place to arrest Bucky.
She was standing in front of the mirror in her underwear and applying her make up when the bathroom door opened and Steve came in in only his boxerbriefs. She didn't want to be shallow but he truly had the body of a greek god. He came up behind her and brushed her hair away from her neck to place kisses on her skin.
"Hey." He murmured with a deep voice and his hands caressed her stomach and he slid one hand into her panties.
"Hi." She could feel him getting hard and he teased her clit with his fingertips. "Now?"
He nibbled on the skin where her neck met her shoulder and she couldn't stop her moan. She hoped Bucly wasn't close by.
"Why not?" He caught her eyes in the mirror and smirked. Yeah, he knew that she found smug Steve pretty hot.
She turned her head to kiss him and he slid her panties down until they were by her ankles and she stepped out of them. He pulled away from her and she missed his warm body against her skin. She used the time to get rid of her bra and then Steve pressed himself against her and they both moaned when his tip brushed against her folds.
"You drive me crazy." He rutted against her and god it felt so good and he wasn't even inside her yet.
She laughed husikly. "I know the feeling. I want you all the time." She pushed against him to get him inside her.
"Ready?" Even when his mind was lust clouded he still looked out for her. She nodded and he slowly sank into her. He stretched her until he filled her completely. No man could ever compete with him. She almost felt sorry for all the women who would never get to sleep with him. They remained still for a moment to enjoy that they were finally one again. She grabbed the edge of the sink and he began to thrust into her. He slowly built a rhythm and she met everyone of his thrusts eagerly. Steve panted into her ear and she bit on her lip to muffle her sounds. God, he was so good at this. She wanted to do this all day but they had to leave soon to meet with Matt and Nelson.
"Steve." She whimpered and he grunted in reply and gave her a deep thrust that hit her sweet spot. "Fuck...just like that."
The sound of skin slapping and their moans filled the bathroom and she didn't care anymore if Bucky heard them. She was far too gone and could only focus on Steve who had his arm around her waist to lift her off the ground to balance out their height difference and fucked into her. She watched his face in the mirror and he caught her and held eye contact . It made it so much more intense. They really needed to fuck more in front of a mirror. She slipped one hand between her legs to rub on her clit but Steve moved her hand away and pleasured her with his own.
"Nat." He panted into her ear. "Are...are you close?"
"Yes." She managed to breathe out. "Please make me come."
He nodded and pressed down on her clit while he thrust into her hard and deep. White, hot pleasure ran through her veins and she barely registered that Steve spilled into her seconds later.
He gave her a dopey grin in the mirror and tilted her head to kiss her. "I could do this all day." He rasped when he pulled out of her.
"Yeah, me too." She smiled at him and they both got ready.
The smirk on Bucky's face when they came into the kitchen for a quick breakfast told her that he knew exactly what they were doing in the bathroom. She rolled her eyes at him and spread butter on her toast.
They took the subway to Hell's Kitchen and Steve pressed his body against her to shield her from the other passengers. She wouldn't have like it if a former lover would have done it but she knew that Steve didn't do it because he thought she couldn't deal with weirdos on the subway but because it was in his DNA to protect those he cared for. It was one of the things she loved so much about him. She looked briefly up to him to smile at him and then leaned her face against his chest.
She stopped him before they walked into the building that Matt's firm was in. "I have to tell you something."
"What?" He readjusted the strapes of the bag that contained the files on Bucky's case.
"Matt and I... we had a thing. Two years ago." She admitted and wondered if she should have told him that before she went to Matt to get his help for Bucky.
Steve furrowed his eyebrows. "Does he still have feelings for you?"
She took his hand. "It was never like that between us. No one had any feelings." She cupped his face with her other hand and kissed him. "I just thought you should know. I don't want to keep anything from you."
He smiled and pecked her lips again. "I love you."
"And I love you." Funny how she couldn't say it back a few months ago and now it was like second nature to her. She told him every day that she loved him. Steve held the door for her open and they walked up the stairs to Matt's office. She briefly feared that Matt's superhearing caught the conversation she had outside with her boyfriend but even if he did, who cares? No one was gonna take Steve away from her.
A tall strawberry blonde woman introduced herself as Karen Page and offered them coffee while Matt and Nelson were still in another appointment. She seemed to recognize them but didn't make such a fuss about it like her boss did.
The door opened and Nelson escorted an elderly woman out and then stopped dead in his tracks when he spotted Steve. The woman didn't seem to care or notice who was in the room and left. Nelson was still staring at Steve who stood up to greet him.
"Mr. Nelson?" He offered him his hand. "I'm Steve Rogers. Nice to meet you."
"Yeah." He only replied and shook Steve's hand longer than necessary.
Steve handed him the files over and they followed Nelson back into the office where Matt was waiting for them.
She hadn't told Steve that Matt was running around in a red suit with horns ( the first time she came face to face with Daredevil in his suit she almost fell of a roof because she laughed so much) but Steve wasn't dumb and he would probably figure it out by himself.
Matt stood up and extended his hand. "I didn't know Natasha would bring company."
She saw how Steve opened his mouth but Nelson was faster. "Matt! Captain America is here! I shook his hand!"
Nelson would probably sign up in Coulson's fan club as soon as they left.
"Um, Steve Rogers. Nice to meet you,Mr. Murdock." He took Matt's hand and she could swear that Steve shook his hand harder than nesscary. Boys! Steve had no reason to be jealous.
"Likewise, Captain Rogers." Matt laughed nervously. "Quite the strong handshake you got there."
"Oh, sorry. I sometimes forget how strong I am."
She could barely hide her smirk. He knew exactly how strong he was and he had remarkable control over his strength that he never lost. Not even in the bedroom.
"We'll need a few days to work through the files and work on a strategy." Matt told them. "Are the files already translated?"
"Of course." She replied. She spent the last days in their living room typing on a braille machine.
Matt smirked. "Wouldn't have expected anything else from you."
Steve coughed and asked them if they already knew if Bucky could walk away from this as a free man.
"That's not so easy to predict." Nelson explained. "Technically he did all those things. We could go with unsoundness of mind if we can prove one hundred percent that he was brainwashed that would make him not criminally responsible."
"If you can prove he was brainwashed?!" Steve was indignant and she placed her hand on his knee to calm him down. "What the hell are you implying?"
"Nothing." Matt said calmly. "Most people only know brainwashing from the movies and think it's fake. Our dream goal is to get immunity from the Justice department for Barnes so he doesn't have to go to trail. Do you think Barnes has valuable information on HYDRA that the government could be interested in?"
"He doesn't really talk about that." Steve uttered out. He told her that he tried to talk to Bucky about it but he always blocked his attempts.
"I'll talk to him." She said mostly to Steve. "I know where he's coming from. Maybe he opens up to me."
Steve covered her hand on his knee with his own. Matt raised an eyebrow and she knew that he could probably "see" it in his fireworld. Her first instinct was to pull her hand back but there was no reason to fear that they were made.
"Is it possible to meet Sergeant Barnes soon?"
Steve looked at her and she nodded. "That can be arranged, Matt."
"Good."
Matt and Nelson promised to work through the files and she and Steve promised that they would meet Bucky after they were done.
They had lunch at a bistro in Hell's Kitchen and Steve tried his hardest not to ask her about thing with Matt. It was quite adorable how he asked her different questions clealry hoping that she would tell him about it on her own.
She twirled her spoon around in her pumpkin soup and smirked at him. "Just ask me what you really wanna know."
He looked like a deer caught in the headlights. "What?"
"You wanna know about me and Matt."
"Well yeah." He admitted. "But I'm not sure if I'm allowed to ask. Your past is your own."
"It's okay." It really was. "I met him while I was undercover for SHIELD and we had a thing for a few weeks. When the op ended, we moved on."
"Did he know who you were?"
She wasn't a SHIELD agent anymore so she didn't have to keep things classified anymore. "He was the target of the mission."
"What?" He was confused. "Why was SHIELD interested in a blind lawyer?"
"You heard of the devil of Hell's Kitchen?" She whispered.
Steve's eyes widened. "Seriously?"
"Yup. Freak accident."
"Wow."
"He made my cover and then was pissed because I played him and then well..." She trailed of to spare him the details.
"Have you heard from Tony by the way?" Steve changed the topic and she was thankful for that. She didn't really want to talk about her past flings with him. He was the only man that mattered, the only man who she ever gave her heart to.
She shook her head. "No. Since Pepper broke up with him, he's pretty much locked up in his tower."
"I worry about him."
"Me too. But we have enough with Bucky on our plate right now. And I heard that Rhodey moved into the tower so he's got his best friend."
Steve nodded but seemed to be in deep thought. Tony already had enough problems with cleaning up after Ultron, he couldn't be in contact with the Winter Soldier as she already told Steve a few times.
Sam was in town and invited himself over for dinner because he wanted to meet Bucky after chasing him around the globe.
It was quite obvious that Sam was scared that Steve didn't want him as his friend anymore and took it out on Bucky who apparently liked to push Sam's buttons. They were both bitching around the whole evening in front of a out of his depth Steve who didn't know how to handle it.
She just leaned back, watched the bitch fight and sipped on her wine. She had a feeling that Sam and Bucky would eventually become good friends. They both had experience in trying to keep Steve out of trouble.
Sam left late to get to his hotel and made Steve promise him to meet him for a run in the morning obviously knowing that Bucky couldn't come along. Bucky cursed Sam in Russian and Natasha had to congratulate his creativity. She cursed Sam in Russian (in her head) because if Steve was out on a run he wouldn't wake up with her to enjoy a round of morning sex.
She was already in their bedroom undressing herself when Steve came in. He flopped back on the bed. "I though that would have went better."
She turned around to face him when she removed her bra and to her satisfaction his gaze landed immediately on her breasts. "They were just marking their territory."
He looked up from her tits. "What?"
"They're both your friends and worry that you replace the one with the other one."
"That's ridiculous. I would never do that."
She laughed and shimmed out of her thong. "I know that."
He had a predatory look in his eyes when they roamed over her body. "Why are we talking about my friends again?"
She straddled his waist. "No idea." She smirked at him and helped him out of his shirt.
Much later that night when they were about to start another round of sex they heard a loud crash that sounded like glass shattering. Steve got of her immediately and she jumped out of bed to snatch her rope and ran out of the bedroom.
Bucky was in the hallway and had a blank look on his face. She got closer to him."Bucky? Sergeant Barnes?"
She reached her hand out to him and he grabbed her and threw her into a cupboard. Steve who now had boxers on tackled Bucky to the ground.
"Buck?!" He held him down. "Snap out of it! It's just us. You're safe!"
She ran back into the background and got the ICER Agent Fitz developed back in the day when SHIELD was still a thing. Bucky threw Steve off of him and looked like he wanted to bolt.
She aimed the gun at him and fired three shots until he went to the ground. "Steve, are you okay?"
He groaned and got up. "Yeah. You?"
"My back hurts a bit." She answered honestly because she didn't want to lie to him. "But besides that I'm fine."
Steve shouldered Bucky and brought him back to the guest room. "What do you think happened?" He asked her when she walked into the room.
"Probably a nightmare that set him back." She looked down at Bucky on the bed. "Same thing happened to me after I got out." She could barely look into Steve's eyes. "There was a reason why most SHIELD agents didn't like me. I killed agents when I had those episodes."
He rested his forehead against hers. "That part of your life is over." He kissed her softly and she sighed into the kiss. "What about him?" Steve nodded into Bucky's direction.
"We get dressed, make coffee and wait until he wakes up. Let's hope he's himself again." She held her ICER up. "If not, he gets shot again."
It looked like they had to go to Tony after all. The two of them were clearly out of their depth.
Thank you for your reviews, faves and follows! They're like hugs and puppies! Keep sending them my way:)
