Chapter 3
My brother was completely right when he told me that Pepper planned for us to have a celebration. Everyone was having a great time. It was nice watching Sam enjoy himself when he was dancing with Shuri and Okoye. Earlier he was battle dancing Peter Quill. My brother won after he started breakdancing. Then the younger Peter outshone Sam when he started to dance. So, Spiderman can dance his ass off it seems. He's stronger than an average human so it probably wasn't hard at all for him to lift himself with one arm and spin. I've seen many break-dancers do it. I have all of this on my phone. I'm sure that Nebula could breakdance as well if she tried. I taught her a few moves in the past years since she's been on earth. She's a really good dancer. Steve made me chuckle while he was dancing Pepper. He did one of the dances that I showed him a while ago. I was in aww for a moment watching everyone. Drax started to dance with Clint's wife Laura. Quill was standing beside me and nudged my elbow for me to look at him.
"Drax used to think that dancing was for idiots for years. He's changed his mind once he realized how awesome it is."
"Oh really. That's cool."
An 80's song came on and Quill's eyes lit up. It was a Bruce Springsteen song called 'Dancing in the Dark.' My mom played it a few times when I was a kid. Plus, I would play it when I had my 80's parties.
"Hey you wanna dance? This is my song," he asked me with a smile.
"Sure."
He took my hand and led me to the middle of the living room where people were dancing. We danced together for a while then the other Guardians got close to us, and we were all dancing in a circle. I was having so much fun. I wanted Bucky to join us, yet he was just sitting on a sofa tapping his foot. I definitely want to dance with him before the night is over. I may have to ask him to dance if he's too shy or uncomfortable to ask me himself.
After we danced for a few songs, Rhodes announced that it was time for karaoke. Steve happily got up and sang. Only a few people looked shocked that he could sing so well. Peter Parker was one of them. After he sang a few songs, Rhodes asked if I would sing with Sam. I guess we were going to recreate our now famous battle. People had posted it on IG and it was on YouTube. The last time that I checked a few million saw it. I wasn't that surprised that the video got around. I'm used to things that I post with an Avenger being seen by the public. Just as they are used to everything that they post go viral. I was kind of surprised at how many people posted that I should be a professional singer. The level of chills and goosebumps didn't compare to when Bucky said that he loved my voice.
After we sang, I was thirsty and walked over to the bar where Bucky was standing. Sam still claimed that he won and started punching the air as if he was boxing. I just shook my head at him and chuckled.
"I see your brother still thinks that he can sing better than you," Bucky said.
"He wishes," I said then laughed.
Bucky laughed along with me.
"Wow I could listen to you sing for hours. I just love your voice."
"Oh, Thank you. I don't know if I could sing for hours straight yet I'll definitely sing for you."
Oh wow did I just say that? "Promise," he said with a smile. Shit. "Yeah… promise," I said a bit shyly.
I reached for a small bottle of water that was on the bar. I opened it then took a sip. Bruce walked over to the bar. I wondered if he was going to sing anything. He always joined us in karaoke when I lived with the team.
"So, Bruce… are you going to sing something? I'll sing with you."
"Oh no. Not tonight, Sarah. I'm actually tired and about to head to the other cabin to relax."
"Oh ok."
"Today… took a lot from me."
"Understandable," I said a bit somberly.
"I will definitely be at Sam's cook out tomorrow."
"You better," I said then smiled.
Bruce smiled back at me. "Of course, I will kid." I asked him about the S.W.A.T truck that was parked in the front of the cabin thinking that it might be his or Fury's. He told me that it was his.
"Oh, it's really cool," I said.
"Thanks."
I really wished that he could stay longer to be with all of us. It may help with his mourning… well maybe. It could be too emotionally draining for him. I'm sure somebody will make sure he's ok when they go back to the other cabin after the party. "Well bring it in," he said motioning his hands for me to hug him. I was just as careful as the first time that I hugged him because of his injured arm. Bruce was so in love with Nat. Hold it together. I don't want to start crying now. Maybe one day soon we'll have something at his house since it's designed for his height and weight. I wouldn't mind cooking for that, and Sam loves to barbecue.
Bruce yawned and I tried my best not to yawn as a reaction. I heard Bucky yawn behind me and smirked to myself. "Sorry man… I know it's contagious," Bruce said. Bucky chuckled under his breath. Bruce let go of me.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Barnes."
"Ok Banner."
They both chucked under their breath. He gave Bucky a hug and they both patted each other on their backs. Bruce walked away and said bye to a few other people. My eyes started to sting. I took a deep breath trying to get myself together. Though I really felt like crying. So far no one has broken down and cried after the funeral. That I know of. Just hugging the man that was in love with her probably helped my emotions feel more vulnerable. "You ok?" Bucky asked. Hearing his voice took me out of my thoughts. I tuned to him and shook my head yes. I can't really hide my facial expressions that well. The look in his eyes seemed like he understood what saying goodnight to Bruce did to me. I sighed then reached for my bottle of water on the bar. I heard someone make a loud whoo noise and saw Shuri and T'Challa walking up to the microphone. My eyes lit up.
"Wow. T'Challa and Shuri are going to sing?"
"Yeah… they can both sing very well."
It was a weird feeling watching them sing and seeing the joy in everyone's faces when I also wanted to break down and cry. Bruce is probably crying now in the other cabin. I kept on reminding myself that Tony and Nat wouldn't want us to be miserable and just enjoy life. I'm also angry and want to scream, shout, and curse up a storm. I know it will take time to have this not hurt as much as it does now. Celebrating tonight is a start. I am so lucky to be here… alive. It's a miracle. Thank you Nat and Tony.
I watched T'Challa and Shuri in amazement as they sang. Steve and Okoye had their phones out recording them. They looked like they were having a ball. I still couldn't get over how casual they both are. I'm so anticipating this trip to Wakanda. I feel like some great friendships are going to be made and that sounds weird to say in my head because they are literally royalty.
Quill put his beer down on the bar and cracked his knuckles. "Time for some more rock and roll,' he said then walked over to Rhodes. I looked up at Bucky and he smiled at me. A few moments later his requested song came on. Don't Stop Believing by Journey. I was amazed that he had a good singing voice too. Mostly everyone from earth joined in. Even Parker and he wasn't even born when that song came out. Shit I wasn't even born yet. Bucky didn't know the words. I was hoping that he would sing the chorus since it was easy to catch on to. He just laughed a bit and lifted his hand and made the rock on sign. I copied him and stuck put my tongue and we both laughed.
Quill sang a few songs. All of them were songs from the 80's. I'm sure that he knows some songs from traveling around the universe. I would have liked to hear something acapella from other planets. Maybe one day I'll ask to hear a song that's not from earth. When Quill was finished Steve tried to get Happy to sing but he kept on waving his hands no so Rhodes joined him. Steve could sing for hours if he wanted to. He really doesn't get out of breath, and he loves singing so much. I remembered when he mentioned that he could do this all day when he was at one of my karaoke parties. He's been saying that line since the 1940's which doesn't seem that long ago for him. It's so crazy to think that both Steve and Bucky were frozen for years. That may even be harder for me to grasp than Banner being affected by gamma rays that make him green and extremely strong. Honestly all of it is a bit crazy. There's literally real magic. I've floated and flown due to it by Wanda and Thor.
My cheeks almost ached because I was smiling so much watching everyone having fun singing. I needed this. I loved the expression on Bucky's face as he watched everyone. He really looked like he was enjoying himself. I wondered if he could sing. I'm mesmerized just by his speaking voice so I assume that he maybe could sing? "Hey… you don't want to sing?" I asked Bucky. He stood straight up from leaning on the bar and shook his head no while T'Challa walked towards us.
"No… I'll leave that to you professionals. I can only hold a tune on a very very good day," he laughed.
"Nonsense," T'Challa budded in. "I've heard this man sing many of times. Don't tell me that your voice is only good in one continent."
Watching T'Challa and Bucky was like watching a sitcom... Black Panther and White Wolf.
"Maybe another time."
"Ok I'll hold you to it," T'Challa said as he placed his hand on Bucky's shoulder. "We should do our duet."
"What duet?" I asked.
"Ebony and Ivory," T'Challa answered.
"Oh my God I haavvvve to hear that," I said with a wide grin on my face. That would be too cute to see.
"Maybe at Sam's cookout," Bucky said scrunching his face as if he suddenly regretted mentioning him singing for us.
My brother walked by us and just heard 'Sam's cookout' and stopped in his tracks.
"What about my cookout?" he asked.
"Bucky doesn't want to sing our duet Ebony and Ivory… so he said he might sing it with me at your cookout."
"Oh, why don't you wanna sing? Steve told me that you can sing. We're all family here Buck," Sam said.
Aww Bucky is being shy… or maybe he just feels uncomfortable?
"Well… I'm gonna cut him a break tonight," T'Challa said.
"Thank you," Bucky breathed in relief.
"I would love to hear you two sing together. That would be amazing," T'Challa said grinning at the both of us.
"Maybe one day?" I said softly looking up into Bucky's beautiful eyes."
Bucky looked down at me in silence for a few seconds with a slight smile on his face. "Yes… I would like that," he breathed. I felt like the wind was knocked out of me and felt extremely hot as if the temperature rose to hell. I had to gather myself together to even respond to him. He looked so sexy looking down at me. I gently cleared my throat.
"Well, if you don't sing with me in New York… Promise to sing with me in Wakanda."
"I'll sing with you in New York Sarah."
"My God if you two don't stop flirting with each other. You're going to give me an ulcer," Sam said.
"Let them beee," T'Challa said. "Shuri has a few questions that she would like to ask you about your new Falcon suit."
"Oh, Uhh really?" Sam said a bit surprised.
"Yes, so come with me."
T'Challa led him away from us to the other side of the room where Shuri was talking to Agent Hill and Fury.
"Wow… he really is your wing man," I said laughing,
"Yeah… he is playing that part very well," Bucky said with the cutest smirk.
My nerves were now a wreck and wanted something more than water. I asked the bar tender for a glass of red wine. I felt my hand tremble a bit and prayed that I wouldn't reach for the glass looking how I feel. The Bar tender sat the glass in front of me and I thanked him. Bucky's gaze never left my face. I smiled and reached for the glass and took a sip.
"Hey… do you want to sit down over there?" he asked.
"Sure."
Bucky grabbed his bottle of beer and walked over to one of the sofas with me. We sat down and smirked at each other. He looked so adorable.
"I can understand if you don't feel comfortable singing in front of everybody. My brother and I are used to it. And Steve… well… he's been in the spotlight doing shows in the 40's and is my very best karaoke partner at my parties."
Bucky chuckled.
"Yes, Steve has told me about your parties. You have a very beautiful voice. It's even more amazing in person."
"Aw thank you. Still wanna strangle Steve for that Halloween video."
"You're welcome," he laughed.
I took a sip of my wine. The way that Bucky was looking at me didn't ease my nerves a bit. Damn his steel blue eyes are beautiful. I was getting lost in them every time I looked at him when he was speaking to me. I heard Quill tell Mantis and Nebula that he wanted to dance with both of them. It caught both Bucky's and my attention to look in their direction. Quill pulled them away from the wall and started to dance. They looked so cute. Nebula got used to dancing since she's been here... and she dances on beat. I taught her a few moves, yet I can't take the credit for it all. I wonder if she would be a competition for Peter Parker? That would be something to see. Mantis looked a bit awkward dancing, yet it was still amazing to watch them all simply enjoy themselves. I pulled out my phone and took a few pictures and video of everyone dancing.
Bucky had a wide smile on his face watching them. He was even tapping his feet to the music. I knew he was shy with singing. I hope he wasn't shy to dance with me. Steve told me that they would go out dancing with girls all the time in the 40's and both were great dancers. I really wanted to dance with him. I've had countless dreams of us dancing together then kissing. Now I'm actually at a party where I would be able to dance with him and make my dreams a reality. I wanted Bucky to feel more relaxed because we're all family here. Even the newest alien friends were having a ball. If anything, I'm sure that he would dance to music from his era. I didn't want him embarrassed if he didn't know any current dances. I know that Steve can dance to current music because he's been to a few of my parties, and we've hung out at clubs together. Plus, I've showed him some hip hop moves in the past years since we met. I was getting nervous just thinking about asking Bucky to dance with me. I finally decided that I was going to make this happen. I wanted it to be music that he loved and was used to so he would feel more comfortable. I can basically dance any area of dance due to my training in dance school. I decided to ask Rhodes who was in control of all the music that was played and took people's request. I excused myself and moved my way through the crowd to get to him.
"Hey Sarah, what's up? Do you need something?"
"I was wondering if you could play a song for me?"
"Let me guess… Beyoncé?"
I giggled.
"Noooo. I want you to play a song for Bucky so I can ask him to dance. All I know is that he loves big band 40's music. I wouldn't know the names of any songs."
"How about asking Steve what's his favorite song," he said with a smile.
"See that's why I love you," I laughed.
I texted Steve and waited for him to look at his phone. In a few seconds I saw him take his phone out of his pocket. He looked down at it and had a curious expression then he smiled.
Don't look in my direction. I just want to know what's Bucky's favorite 40's big band song so that I can ask Rhodes to play it. I want to ask him to dance.
Steve's smile became bigger, and he started texting. A few seconds I got his text.
He would love that! His favorite song is Basie Boogie by Count Basie.
Thank you so much!
No problem. It's kind of fast.
Ok.
Don't be shy about anything. He knows how to lift, spin, and slide you through his legs without hurting you. I can't wait to see this. He had a crush on you for a while…
He told you that he has a crush on me?!
My lips are sealed.
Steve! You said for a while!
Sorry… I couldn't really tell you that. You always came up in our conversations when he was in Wakanda. Plus anyone who is not blind can see that you two like each other. Sam is having a mini fit because everyone sees it. He'll get over it.
I tried my best to not have my facial expression show that I was screaming inside. My heart started to beat faster while reading about Bucky's long crush. Oh Wow… Bucky has liked me for some time. This is crazy. I guess that's why they were giving each other looks earlier as if I didn't notice. I turned to Rhodes, still trying to hide my level of excitement. "So… did Steve tell you his favorite song?" Rhodes whispered in my ear. The music was so loud I'm sure that Bucky couldn't hear us from where he was sitting if he spoke at a normal level.
"Umm… Oh… Ahh Yeah," I said a bit baffled. I was totally taken off guard by this news. "It's Basie Boogie by Count Basie."
"Good choice good choice. My great grandfather loved that song."
Wow Bucky and Steve are technically around my great great grandparent's age.
After the current song was done my requested song came on. My eyes were on Bucky to see his reaction. His eyes lit up and he smiled at me. It gave me a fuzzy feeling and I couldn't stop smiling back at him.Ok this is it. I walked over to him and extended my hand.
"Would you care to dance?" I asked in my most pleasant voice.
"You betcha!" he said excitedly."
People started to make room in the living room for us. It was 40's music so I assume they knew that we were going to dance in that style. Pepper's face was beaming because she knew that I could dance to this. I felt like I was in a movie. Bucky gently took my hand, and it sent a chill down my spine. I tried my best to control my gasp. He easily took the lead guiding me with his arms and hands. A few people started clapping to the beat. Chills went through my body every time he held my back or pulled me closer to him. I was so tuned on that I had to concentrate on flowing with his movements. He leaned down and spoke in my ear,
"Are you ok with spinning and going through my legs?"
"Yes," I said then smiled.
Bucky made the cutest smirk. I'm ok with going through his legs… being on his legs... under them. Oh my God please keep your thoughts PG13 right now so I won't trip. That's all I need is to fall flat on my face because I'm thinking of him naked. Shit.
I did a good job keeping up with the fast tempo. I was having so much fun. Bucky spun me and the speed of it took me off guard because it was faster than I expected. I started to worry if Steve was wrong about Bucky being able to spin and swing me without hurting me. I'm sure he was an expert before he had superhuman strength. Bucky controlled my body as if I weighed two pounds. He slid me under his legs then pulled me back up and held my back so that I was pressed to his body. It gave me a second to get my bearings because I felt like I was on a crazy roller coaster ride. I also was freaking out being pressed so close to his muscular body. I glanced at the crowd and saw that my brother had a smile on his face as he clapped, looking at us in amazement. Maybe he was changing his mind about me liking Bucky? He has to see how much we are vibing with each other. I'm not scared of him because he has PTSD. Just like it never changed the friendships between Bucky and Steve… even Sam considers him one of his best friends.
The song was longer than I expected, and I was getting out of breath from dancing so fast. I was still having the best time being guided around by him. Each second with him was going to be memorable for me. At times I felt like it wasn't real. This was better than any dream that I had of us dancing together. Bucky dipped me at the end of the song then brought me back up to him with our faces only centimeters away from one another.
"Oh my God that was amazing," Bucky said excitedly.
"Thanks," I said out of breath fearing that I would just fall to the floor at any moment. "You were amazing too."
"Thank you."
I heard a few whooos from the excitement of the crowd. I still couldn't take my eyes away from his. My heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest. Yes his eyes definitely change colors.
"I loved that!" Pepper called out.
"Wow Bucky! I didn't know you could dance like that," Wanda said.
"I have it all on camera," Nicky Fury called out. I didn't see him holding his phone out. I guess it was from some hi-tech Shield gear. Fury tapped his glasses.
"Ooh," I mouthed.
"You guys are awesome!" Parker called out with his phone still pointed at us.
"Thank you," Bucky and I said in unison.
I was completely out of breath and feeling dizzy. I really felt like I was going to pass out soon. It was hard for me to catch my breath. I put my hands on my hips out of exhaustion. I wasn't sure if it was because I haven't danced that fast in a long time or the fact that I was being flung like a weightless paper doll. Bucky was breathing perfectly fine. I guess I should expect that from him since Steve hardly gets out of breath as well.
"You ok?" he asked with concern.
"Yeah… no," I panted.
The room was slightly spinning to me.
"I'll get you some water."
"Thanks. Oh shit it's hard to breathe," I laughed.
Bucky dashed to the bar and handed me a bottle of water. It was the first time that I saw him move that fast. I slightly jumped when he handed me the water.
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you."
"Oh… I'm just not used to you moving that fast. Tha… thanks," I said still stunned.
He put his hand at the small of my back. "Come on… you need to rest let's sit down." His touch and concerned tone felt so comforting. I felt like melting on Pepper's living room floor. Once we sat down on the sofa Pepper handed him a bottle of water.
"Thanks," he said.
"You're welcome," Pepper said smiling at the both of us.
"That was so cute guys. Morgan is going to love that video."
"Oh… thanks Pepper," I said a bit out of breath. "I miss dancing with her."
"Well, she'll enjoy your company tomorrow. I will definitely play music for you guys."
"Ok… Great."
Pepper's eyes glanced back and forth at us.
"Drink some water Dear before you faint or something," she said then laughed.
"Yes Ma'am," I said chuckling.
I took a few gulps of water and wiped the sweat from my forehead. Pepper walked away from us and went to talk to Happy and May. I figured that my hair probably looked a mess so started to rake my fingers through it. I most likely looked like I was in front of a wind machine.
"Where did you learn how to dance like that?" Shuri asked.
"Oh, I grew up… in dance school," I managed to get out.
I was still exhausted.
"That really surprised me. I loved it," Bucky said.
"Thank You... and you… oh my God… you are amazing."
"Why thank you… and you look perfect. You don't have to worry about your hair," he said softly.
"Thank you."
"My God… you too," Sam playfully scoffed.
I felt my face heating up and I knew that I was blushing. "Aww… aren't they cute," Shuri said with wide grin. Bucky's cheeks instantly got red. He looked so adorable. I love seeing him blush.
"The White Wolf has some skills," T'Challa said with a smirk as he and Okoye walked up to us. "I would say it's the vibranium in his arm that gives him rhythm… though I may be wrong."
"Since when is my King wrong?" Okoye said.
"Ehhh, I don't know Okoye," Bucky cut in. "I grew up in Brooklyn and hey… been in Wakanda for some time. Your King may be wrong on this one."
"Ha! I love it," Steve laughed. "Bucky and I would live at the clubs on the weekends."
"The ladies must have loved yall," Sam said.
"Mostly Bucky," Steve said. "I was skinny and short while he was all tall and buff."
"Steve had that innocent charm that the women fell for," Bucky said.
"We definitely remember things differently Pal."
"What do you mean?"
"Most were dancing with me out of pity. I almost dropped this one lady because she was too heavy for me to pick up."
"Hey, I did tell you to start lifting more. You were always in those books," Bucky said then took a sip of his water.
"Oh, wow Steve," Sam said.
"Hey, well I'm not scrawny now," Steve said.
Pepper, Rocket, and Quill walked over, and Rocket crossed his arms.
"Hmm… who would win in an arm-wrestling contest?" Rocket asked.
"Hey, I don't want any of my furniture broken," Pepper budded in holding a glass of red wine in her hand. "No crazy stuff guys."
"Ok Ok… no arm wrestling," Steve laughed.
"I don't know about you, but I would have my units on Bucky," Rocket mumbled to Quill.
"I guess we can find out later this week. I need to see this," Quill said.
Bucky looked at the both of them and just shook his head. Pepper sighed then pushed a lock of her blonde hair behind her ear.
"It has to be his right arm though… the metal arm would be unfair," Rocket said.
"I'm right-handed anyway," Bucky replied.
"So, it looks like we're doing this later?" Steve laughed.
"Excuse me… not in here," Pepper said a bit alarmed.
"No Nooo…. not in here," Sam said. "I'll set something up in my yard, so you guys won't fuck up anything,"
A few people started laughing and Thor walked over holding a can of beer.
"You guys were never curious on who was stronger or if you have the exact same strength?" Quill asked.
"No… not really," Bucky and Steve said at the same time.
"I wonder if Thor is stronger than Bruce?" Quill asked, looking at Thor.
"I can tell you guys now that I am the mightiest Avenger," Thor said proudly.
Oh no is this going to turn into a battle of testosterone.
"Man, I wish he didn't leave early," Quill said. "We could have solved this tonight. Bruce told me that you guys had to fight in a tournament on another planet… and and he whopped your ass."
Quill laughed.
"Lies," Thor said playfully rolling his eyes.
"Oh Wow… so he must have whipped ya ass pretty good then," Rocket said smirking.
"Ridiculous furry mechanic."
A few people and I giggled. Thor took a sip of his beer. Rocket and I both heard about what happened in Sakaar. Thor says that he won that battle.
It was fun talking and joking around with everyone. Thor and Rocket have a great sense of humor and bicker like siblings at times. After a while Dr. Strange and Wanda started performing supernatural tricks. They didn't mind at all that people were recording it with their phones. The entire world knew that they had magical powers and helped save the Galaxy. Seeing Wanda move things with her powers will always be amazing to me. I've seen her move a lot of things when I lived at the Avenger's compound. Strange made multiple images of himself around the living room. I only had one glass of red wine and I felt drunk watching his image moving around so fast.
"Hey… this is not freaking you out?" I asked Bucky.
"No. Strange and Wanda have been here for days. I've seen even more than this. He's literally the best sorcerer... It's in his title."
"Yeah, Sam told me on the way up here that he's called The Sorcerer Supreme."
"Yes… you guys missed a lot last night. Thor was in the back yard summing thunder."
"Dammit we should have drove up sooner," I laughed. "But I've seen Thor use his powers just for fun many of times. He likes to show off a lot."
"Yeah, he seems like the type that likes attention."
"Well… he grew up with a lot attention because he was a Prince. Plus, he's literally a God. It's like asking Zeus not to make thunder."
Bucky gently chuckled. "I guess so," he said.
I excused myself to go to the bathroom. Bucky was right about my hair. It wasn't messed up. After I peed and washed my hands, I used my travel toothbrush and toothpaste from my pocketbook. I reapplied my liquid lipstick and waited for it to dry. I stared at myself in the mirror for a moment. I imagined Nat's voice saying, 'Go get your man.' Wow I'm going to miss her like crazy. I definitely don't want him to feel like he has to grieve by himself. I texted Steve and asked him to check on Bruce before he went to bed. He texted back 'Of course.' I took a few deep breaths and put a mint in my mouth. I guess I was hopeful that I would get to kiss Bucky later on tonight. I walked outside the bathroom and looked at all of the pictures that were on the wall again. Tony and Nat would definitely want us having fun tonight and not moping around. I'm pretty sure that Tony said some bad ass shit to Thanos after he got the stones from him and snapped them away. I sighed then wiped away a tear that was forming in the corner of my eye. "Hey." I heard Bucky's voice softly call out to me from down the hall. I turned to look at him. "Just checking on you… making sure that you're ok," he said as he walked towards me. I quickly wiped away another tear that was forming.
"Yeah, I'm ok. It's just hard walking by all of these pics."
"Yeah. Well… I'm giving out hugs for free," he said then opened his arms to me.
I softly chucked.
"Free hugs huh?"
"Yes… and I promise that I won't squeeze you too hard."
"Well… I may want my back cracked again," I said then softly chuckled.
"I'm not a chiropractor... but I'm pretty sure that I could manage doing that for you. You really want me to crack your back?"
I shook my head yes and he wrapped me in his arms and held me close to his body. I felt and heard my back crack. He heard it too.
"Was that ok?" he asked in a pleasant tone.
"Yes," I said softly giggling.
It felt really good. I was trying to keep my thoughts innocent. He sounded so damn sexy. Shit… does he know what that just did to me. Bucky kept his arms around me, and I inhaled his cologne. It felt so comforting being this close to him.
"Thank you, Bucky," I breathed.
"No problem."
The way he looked down at me made me feel like the floor was going to give out at any moment. My body was slowly losing strength to stand as my thoughts spun around imagining what it would feel like to kiss him… make love to him. Oh my God… all of these crazy thoughts at once.
Drax made a big laugh that distracted me from my thoughts of being so close to Bucky's body. We both looked down the hallway. I noticed how I drowned the sounds out from the living room when I was in Bucky's arms. It was like someone just clicked the unmute button.
"Well… they will definitely help cheer you up," Bucky said then cleared his throat. "Drax and Quill are hilarious."
"Ahh yeah," I said a bit dazed thinking about what could have just happened.
Shit he was going to kiss me.
"Come on let's go back to them," he said as he placed his hand at the small of my back to guide me down the hallway.
"Oh… Ok," I stammered.
I was hoping that we would stay in the hallway a bit longer. If Drax didn't laugh Bucky's tongue could be down my throat by now. Shit shit shit. I just knew that he was about to kiss me. If he didn't, I would have stood on my toes and kissed him. No eyes were on us except the many eyes on the wall of family photos. Ok. it's my goal to kiss him tonight… well before the sun rises. We both walked back into the living room and sat back down on the same sofa. I was wondering if Bucky was also thinking about the kiss that could have happened. Or maybe I was just being too hopeful? I'm pretty sure I'll have an opportunity when I'll know for sure what his intensions are with our mouths.
It was nice listening to Rocket, Quill, Scott Lang, and Thor crack jokes on each other and tell funny stories. I was laughing so much that my stomach was starting to hurt. Everyone was laughing and wiping tears from their eyes. They all need a YouTube channel or a Podcast. The world needs to see just how hilarious the heroes are that saved it. Steve came back in the cabin and walked to the bar to get a beer. I was wondering if he went to the other cabin to check on Bruce. He gave me a thumbs up and I smiled then sighed. I'll mention having a cookout at his house later this week if he's up for it. I texted Steve about it, and he texted back that it was a good idea.
I wasn't even paying attention to the time because I knew that I wanted to stay up all night until the sun came out talking to Bucky. I was going to get my long-awaited kiss from his lips tonight. I really shouldn't have drunk that big glass of wine because I was getting a bit tired. Bucky was on his fourth beer. He can basically drink all he wants just like Steve because they can't get drunk. He leaned over closer to me and brought his mouth close to my ear. I almost jumped because I didn't know what he was going to do. My body just got so excited because all of a sudden, he was right up on me. "Hey, do you wanna take a walk to the lake?" I shook my head yes. Yes, finally some complete privacy.
The sun had already gone down. It would have been nice to see the sun set. I'll catch it someday this week. Bucky stood up and extended his hand to help me get up from the sofa. I thought that that was such a nice gesture. He seems to do a lot of gentlemanly things from his era. I glanced at Steve for a second and saw that he was grinning at us. Sam's reaction wasn't that happy because his eyebrows furrowed. I was praying that he wouldn't say anything to embarrass me like I'm a child. Bucky got his jacket and folded it over his arm. My coat was in my car along with my luggage. If I need it, I'll get it later since I have another set of keys in my pocketbook. Sam's eyes followed us with a concerned look on his face. Nothing bad or crazy was going to happen. I just wanted my privacy with Bucky so we could get to know each other better. Sam just has to get over that we like each other. Shuri and T'Challa were smiling as we walked by them. I could just imagine what they were thinking since they had fun embarrassing Bucky earlier when he was blushing. He opened the door and l let me go out first.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
The night air smelled a bit different since it was colder. Without Bucky asking he placed his jacket over my shoulders.
"Oh thanks," I said pleasantly surprised.
"Just in case you're cold."
"Are you cold? I can get my coat from my car."
"That's ok. I'll be fine."
"Ok."
I knew that Steve survived being frozen for years because of his high amounts of glucose that thickened his blood and he's more durable than the average human. He doesn't get that cold now and I wasn't sure if Bucky was the same since they were given different serums. I never asked what all of the similarities that they both had were. I just knew that Bucky was as strong as Steve. I didn't want him to be cold because he was trying to be Mr. Macho. My SUV was just in front of the cabin.
"It might get colder… are you sure you're, ok?" I asked.
"Yes… I don't get that cold anyway. Thanks for being concerned though. That's sweet of you."
I instantly felt butterflies in my stomach again. Bucky gently took my hand, and we walked down the back porch steps. I noticed the sounds of owls hooting. It felt so romantic already. I was starting to get a bit anxious now to be with him alone because of how I felt about him. What if I said or did something goofy because I was nervous? Oh my God. Do not trip, stutter, or choke on my own spit. We walked down to the lake which wasn't that far from the cabin. The entire time I was concentrating on the sensation of his hand holding mine… also each step so that I wouldn't trip on anything. One second I'm feeling cute… the next I'm on the ground because a raccoon decided to leave a twig somewhere.
It was still blowing my mind that Bucky already had a crush on me. I wish that Steve had told me this before I got here. I'm not really sure what difference it would have made. Maybe I would have packed more fashionable clothes and sexy dresses instead of jeans, hoddies, cardigans, and T-Shirts. I only have two dresses with me, and they are modest. The one I have on now and another one just in case I went out to dinner with the team.
There was a wide lounge chair, enough for two people to lay in. It looked like we were already going to be in a slightly laying down position. Shit. When we got closer, I noticed a blanket folded in the middle of it. The area was slightly lit with a few lawn lights. Bucky picked up the blanket so that we could sit down. We just sat down and didn't lie back. He placed it over our legs. Would it have been too weird if we just laid down right away? I was so nervous and decided to inhale the night air. It relaxed me a bit. We both gazed at the lake taking in the scenery in silence. My mind wasn't silent at all. It was going a mile a minute thinking about Bucky and the way he makes me feel. The lake was so beautiful with the moonlight was glistening off of it. It looked so peaceful. I stared at the small waves lapping at the shoreline imagining how nice it would be to live near something like this. I know that Sam will live close to here because the new Avenger's property is not too far. I can't wait for the cookout so that Bucky can taste my cooking. If I had my wish, I would be a chef and a dance instructor. Since I lost my studio, I just cook a lot for the parties that I have and cater a few small parties for my friends. Even Steve said that I should consider having a restaurant one day. That would be amazing if I could. People who get to do the things that they love as a job are so lucky. I'm glad that I can finally quit my stressful job. That wasn't my passion… it was just a way to pay my bills.
A strong breeze blew past us, and it made me instantly colder. I slightly jumped from the chill then slid my arms in the sleeves of his jacket.
"If you don't mind… you'll be warmer if I pull the blanket over us," he said in such a soothing voice.
"Oh no I don't mind."
We both leaned back at the same time, and I rested my head on his chest. It took me by surprise for a second that I molded myself to him as if it were normal to lay on him. His cologne smelled so good, and the warmth of his body made my pussy clinch. Wow… I was so internally giddy being this physically close to him.
"Are you warmer now?" he asked.
"Yes… perfectly warm. Thank you," I said softly.
"You're welcome."
The tone of his voice sent a chill up my spine. It sounded so sweet hearing him say you're welcome. I closed my eyes for a brief moment and imagined him kissing me. I want to feel his lips on mine so badly. I opened my eyes and looked up at the sky. I noticed how clearly I could see the stars. They looked amazing. Nothing like the city. It reminded me of the first time that I went to camp as a kid in the mountains. The night sky was so different than what I was used to seeing.
"This place is beautiful," I mused.
"Yes. it is. I love calm like this. It sort of reminds me of the peace and tranquility that I had in Wakanda. The hut that I lived in was near a lake. It was literally my view."
"Oh Wow. That had to be relaxing."
"Yes. It helped me a lot. I'll show you where I lived when we visit. I preferred sleeping there instead of T'Challa's castle. Don't get me wrong… his castle is beautiful and very modern. And I was there a lot… I just loved being near nature."
"I would love to see where you lived."
"There's actually a lot of places that I want to take you when we get there."
"Oh, I can't wait… to have you as my tour guide."
Bucky gently chuckled under his breath.
"Well, I promise you that you will enjoy yourself."
"I'm sure that I will," I said smiling.
I heard Bucky's phone vibrate. He pulled it out of his pocket and briefly looked at it. He texted something quickly then put his phone back in his pocket.
"That was your other brother Steve."
"Oh… Checking up on you?"
Bucky chuckled.
"He was asking what cabin I was staying in to make sure there was room. I can drive you down to the other cabin where Sam is staying if that's where you want to sleep. There's still enough room for you to stay up here if you want to."
"Oh… are you staying here?"
"Yes Ma'am."
Holy shit. I never knew the word 'Ma' am' would affect me this way.
"Oh… well I can stay up here too," I said as calmly as possible because my nerves were a wreck.
"Good choice. We can eat breakfast together."
"That would be nice." We can do a lot of things together.
Bucky made a slight smirk. I hope that he was thinking about the same things that I was. I know that the cabin is pretty full of guest, so I don't think that we would be able to do that. I would be happy if we just made out and slept in each other's arms. I'm really being optimistic here. I'm sure he was being strategic in where he was sleeping because my brother would be like a watch dog if we slept under the same roof with him. I like how you think Barnes.
I gently sighed and Bucky rubbed his hand up and down on my arm through the blanket. I just love how he's trying to keep me warm. My mind started to wonder about how many rooms Pepper had in the cabins. I just know that the other cabin was built more for entertaining the Stark's family and guest because it has a pool, basketball court, and dining hall. T'Challa, Okoye, and Shuri probably went to a fancy hotel in the city… or maybe they are staying here? They all seem down to earth yet they are royalty. Steve showed me pictures of their palace and it's straight out of a fantasy movie.
"Hey… do you know where T'Challa and company are staying?" I asked.
"Oh, they are staying here. At first they wanted to stay in their jet to save room, but Pepper talked them out of that. It's actually right there," he said while pointing to nothing but a grassy clearing.
"Umm… Bucky. I think it's past time for you to get some bifocals. There's nothing parked over there."
"My vision is more enhanced than 20/20 vison thank you very much… just like Steve's," he laughed.
"Whaaa?"
"Oh God you're cute."
"Well, I already know that Steve can see better and farther than the average person since he became a Super Solider… but… but… there's nothing over there. Stop playing with me," I said then laughed.
"I'm not joking around at all Sarah. It's really over there. See… Um… it's a jet from Wakanda so it's pretty darn advanced. It has a cloaking device to perfectly reflect its surroundings to make it look like it's not there. Steve told me that the Stark's have a plane that does the same thing."
"Oh… Wow. I didn't know that."
"Yeah… I mean of all the stuff that you heard of I'm pretty sure that inviable planes and jets aren't the craziest. You are talking to a 106-year-old man. Lightning comes out of Thor's body. Tony and Banner made a time machine. There's a talking tree and raccoon sleeping in Pepper's house."
"Well… if you put it that way," I laughed. "Really its right there?" I asked as I pointed in the same direction.
"Yes Ma'am."
"Wow. That's just… well ok."
Bucky chuckled under his breath.
"Wakanda is very advanced. You're going to flip out when you see Shuri's lab and the vibranium mines." I shook my head quickly as if I was shaking away the confusion of hearing about an invisible jet.
"Hard to wrap your head around huh? I'm really going to enjoy your reactions in Wakanda," he laughed. I really love his laugh. It's so cute.
"So… White Wolf huh? That's the nick name they gave you?"
"Actually, T'Challa gave it to me. It stuck and all the kids called me that."
"I like it. The Black Panther and The White Wolf."
"I like it too."
Bucky looked like something just popped in his mind and twisted his lips for a second. He looked out onto the lake then looked back at me.
"So, you're really close with all of the Avengers," he asked.
"Yes, basically all of them. I've known them since I was in high school."
"Cool… I saw you talking to Thor earlier. He looked upset and then it looked like you cheered him up."
"Well… besides the funeral he's been through a lot. Umm… I'm not sure if Steve told you what happened to him before he got to Wakanda."
"Well, I know that The Guardians found him in space because Thanos destroyed his ship."
"Yeah. Thanos killed about half of everyone on that ship. Including his best friend and brother."
"Wow… that has to be heavy to deal with."
"Plus, he blames himself for The Blip because he didn't kill Thanos the first time."
Bucky made a deep sigh.
"It's been… very hard on him," I sadly said.
"I see. Depression can be devastating. He gained so much weight compared to the pictures that I saw of him. I meet him for the first time this week."
"That's right… he wasn't on earth when you had your going away party."
"Yeah, Banner wasn't there either."
I sighed. I wonder if he even knows about Sakaar. All of that would be hard to explain.
"Yeah… Banner… well he's been through it too. Ironically, they both wound up on the same planet and were forced to fight each other in a tournament."
"Oh, is that what Quill was talking about earlier?"
"Yes… So you don't know this story?"
Bucky shook his head no. "Well after the whole ordeal with the battle in Sokovia with Ultron, Banner never changed back from the Hulk. He took a quin jet and didn't return. Somehow, he got transported to this planet called Sakaar and was there for two years. They had him fight in tournaments and he became famous and people loved him. Then Thor and Loki got thrown out of their Bitfrost Worm Hole trying to escape his sister." I took a deep breath. "Ok… let me back up a little. I know all of this sounds crazy and confusing." I took another deep breath.
"Yes, it does… but please continue."
"Well ok. Umm… well Thor had just found out from his father right before he died that he had a sister named Hela. She was evil and hell bent on killing people. She was able to escape from the realm that she was sent to by their father. She tried to kill Thor and his brother."
"Wait… I'm a bit confused and didn't ask that many questions before. But wasn't Loki with Thanos and part of the reason why New York was attacked the first time."
"You are correct. I guess he changed his ways since then. He did a 180 kind of and even helped saved thousands from Hela in Asgard. Loki later died trying to save Thor and his people from Thanos when he attacked their ship. The entire population of Asgard was on it because their planet was destroyed. Some type of mystical monster came back to life and did something to blow up the planet with Hela on it." Bucky widened his eyes a bit. "I know it all sounds crazy. It took some time for me to wrap my head around the stories Thor was telling me."
"Wow. Shit."
"So, Thanos attacked the ship that the Asgardians used to escape their planet. Banner tried to fight him but lost. Then Thanos broke Loki's neck."
"Damn."
I didn't want to go into the story of how Thor thought that Loki died before a few times. He doesn't need to know about his complicated relationship with his brother.
"Yeah, well… Loki changed for the better. Emotionally matured."
"Wow… that's so sad. He had to watch his people die like that."
"Yeah… his best friend Heimdall was stabbed after he sent Banner to earth with his magical powers.
He wanted Banner to warn people that Thanos was coming. Thor's been through a lot in the past years. Plus, he broke up with his girlfriend from earth before all of this happened. I think that he's still sad about that."
"Wow… that's… that's a lot."
"Yeah… it is. I'm just glad that Heimdall had a chance to save Banner and send him to earth. They knew that Thanos was going to come for the stone. Steve wanted to remove it and destroy it and they didn't know how to do that without killing him… so they went to Wakanda."
"Yeah, Steve did fill me in on what they were trying to do to Vision. Shuri would have been able to separate the stone if they weren't attacked so soon. I know that it all was a big risk… to try to save one person who's technically AI… when someone as crazy as Thanos wanted to kill half the population of the universe. I mean strategically… it wasn't that great of a plan because half of the universe would be destroyed if he got it but…"
"I know. They were very hopeful that they could separate the stone from Vison and kill Thanos. I really think that they had too much optimism about the situation… because all they wanted to do was save Vision. I mean I know that we all loved him, and Wanda was in love with him. They were practically married. Had a ceremony and all. It just wasn't legal because…"
"He wasn't considered human."
"Yeah. But he wasn't like a robot at all. He literally was AI with his own thoughts just as if he were human. Vision was so logical. He even was ok with dying to make sure that the stone was destroyed."
"Yeah," he breathed. "Well, you still filled in a lot of blanks for me. I didn't know that Thor and Banner went through all of that before."
"Yeah."
"Well, I hope Thor gets through everything that he's going through. It sounds like he lost a lot."
"He has. His mother was even murdered years ago when Asgard was attacked by another alien race." I sighed. "Thor really feels like it's his fault… that Nat and Tony died. That's why I was trying to cheer him up."
"Wow."
I remembered my conversation on the phone with Thor a few days after the battle. He kept on blaming himself for so many things while mourning his father, brother, and Heimdall. I started to feel sad about everything and decided to try to change the subject. If I didn't change the subject, I would be I tears within seconds.
"So, you like 40's music huh?" I asked knowing the answer.
"Yes… I love it."
Bucky caught on quickly that I was trying to change the subject. I felt my eyes getting misty and pulled my phone out of my pocketbook. I looked up at him and smiled. I searched for a specific song category. After a few seconds a song played. Slow soothing jazz of his time. His expression lit up. "You're gonna have to stop amazing me or you're going to have a senior citizen around you all the time. Putting moth balls in your closet… knitting you scarfs."
We both laughed.
"I wouldn't mind a cozy scarf."
"Great."
"I know you're ancient and everything, but do you ever get out of breath?"
"Ok with the old jokes," he said playfully. "But no not really."
"Because I felt like I was going to die after we danced, and you didn't even break a sweat or was out of breath."
"Well… Sometimes it boggles my mind on how my body works now and the strength that Steve and I have."
"It must feel amazing to have all of that stamina and power."
"Sometimes. I also have to constantly be aware of everything that I do… so I'm not pulling off doorknobs or closing car doors too hard."
"I'm sure that can be frustrating at times. I thought that I wasn't going to make it through our dance."
"Oh, was I too forceful with you? I tried my best to ground you after each spin."
"I noticed that. I was still dizzy because I've never been spun that fast."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I guess we need to practice."
"I would like that."
"Practice makes perfect," he said with a grin.
Bucky rested his head on top of mine, and we gazed at the lake listing to the music from my phone.
"You know I do like some current music. Shuri made it her mission to have me hear her favorite artist."
"Oh."
"Yeah. I was bombarded with Beyoncé, Rihanna, Kings of Leon, Prince, Alicia Keys, Ed Sheeran and Sia."
"Oh, I love them. And my parents adored Prince. My mother was even in one of his videos because he used a clip from that concert. She was in the front row with my aunt."
"Oh Wow… your mom was in a Prince video. That's cool. T'Challa also had me listen to a few of his favorite Rap and R&B artists. So, I'm not that out of touch with today's music. But some of the rock music that Shuri likes was kinda scary. I won't be getting used to that for a long time."
I chuckled.
"I listen to some rock music, but I think it's really considered alternative rock. Bands like Imagine Dragons, Paramore, 30 Seconds to Mars, The Script, and The Foo Fighters."
"Oh, I've heard of 30 Seconds to Mars. Shuri really likes them. He's the guy that plays one of the Jokers."
"Yeah… Wow so you've seen Batman movies?"
"Yes, I believe that I've seen all of them."
"Oh wow."
So Bucky has seen a few superhero movies. I wonder if he's seen the Matrix Trilogy? That's one of my favorite science fiction movies. As much crazy shit that I've heard of in real life saying science fiction now seems weird to say. Aliens, portals, time travel, witches, and sorcerers were all science fiction to me years ago.
"You know my brother was telling me that he thought that you were a lost cause in being familiar with recent music."
"He said that did he?"
Bucky laughed.
"Yes, on the ride up here."
"Well, I feel like I'm out of place with some of the music… some of it is just crazy to me."
"My grandfather felt the same way," I laughed. "It seems like every generation is baffled on the previous one. My parents played music a lot when Sam and I were growing up. So we grew to love the music that they grew up to. But I couldn't understand the crazy clothes that my grandparents wore in the 70's. Some of it looked fun. Some I wouldn't be caught dead in," I laughed.
"Yes, fashion is very interesting to say the lease."
"I actually love the 80's. I had an 80's party a few years ago."
"What exactly is that… just 80's music?"
"Well 80's music and everyone has to dress like that era. It's so much fun. I would love to see you dressed like a break dancer."
Bucky laughed.
"Yes, Shuri made me watch a few old 80's movies about break dancing."
"I should plan one for the team at Sam's when we get back from Wakanda. Would you be willing to dress up for me? I have to see that."
"Sure, I'll wear whatever you want."
"Oh, don't say that. I'll have you in a half shirt."
"Oh my God I know exactly what you're talking about," Bucky said laughing.
"Or have you dressed like a punk rocker and spike your hair up?" I laughed as I touched and lifted a lock of his hair.
"Wow… I can see it in your eyes how excited you are about this."
"I really am," I said grinning putting his hair back in place.
Wow what I would give to grip that while he's on top of me.
"Hey, you should have it at my house instead of Sam's. Is that ok?"
"Ahh Sure. That's ok."
"I just want to get into the spirit of hosting parties. We could be co-host since I know nothing about throwing an 80's party."
"Ok sounds like a plan."
Wow he wants to plan things with me. That's a good sign. This party is going to be so cute. I can't wait to plan it with him. Maybe we can have it right after we come back from Wakanda or soon after. I'm sure my friends and cousins wouldn't mind the drive. Plus, they will get to see the new compound. I can easily see Bucky as a punk rocker or break dancer.
"Hey… I have my bike here."
"Oh… I think I saw it when we got here."
"Yeah, mine is parked next to Steve's. I… would like to take you sightseeing in the morning after breakfast. There are some nice roads around here. Steve and I rode around the woods a few times. It's so tranquil."
"Oh, wow that's sounds nice." And scary. "I would love to."
"Great."
Oh my God what did I just agree to? I never rode on a motorcycle before.
After that I can drive you to the compound in my truck and you can drop your bags off at Sam's house. My house is two doors down from his."
"Ok. Wow you're gonna just love my brother as a neighbor," I said trying to keep a straight face. Then I laughed.
"Trust me I'm preparing myself for it. Especially since I can't keep my eyes off his little sister."
"Aww that's so sweet," I said with a big smile as my stomach instantly felt like butterflies were in it again.
"You are so adorable."
"Thank you," I said a bit shyly. "You are too."
"You think that I'm adorable?" he asked softly.
"Well… Well yes."
Bucky Chuckled. "Thanks." I was getting so flustered. I started to feel hot like I needed to fan myself and it was nighttime in the fall. Shit. I couldn't help but gaze into his eyes. It was driving me crazy that he had a crush on me too. I'm glad that Steve told me so I wouldn't be completely scared of these feelings. I knew that he would have kissed me in the cabin if we didn't hear Drax. That was one missed opportunity. I'm not going to let too many pass me by now. I mean we're on a lounge chair under the moonlight next to a lake. If this is not screaming first kiss, I don't know what else will. Maybe he's nervous about it too? I figured that I would say something about my earlier comment about his beautiful blue eyes. If I wanted him to feel comfortable about being open with me… I should just take that leap.
"You wanna hear a secret?" I asked then squinted my face.
"Sure."
"I didn't mean to tell you that your eyes were beautiful. I thought that thought was just going to stay in my head. I was sorta embarrassed that I said it out loud."
"Oh, don't be embarrassed. It was very flattering and made my heart beat all fast like it was going to burst out of my chest."
I internally squealed.
"Wow… Really? Well since we're being all honest. I… um." I paused. I don't believe that I'm about to say this.
"What?" he asked in a soft tone.
I was stunned for a moment just by how sexy he sounded and his adorable expression.
"Umm…" Wow. "I'm… Well I'm not sure why I felt… dizzy when you first hugged me."
"Oh… Was it a good dizzy?" he breathed.
Shit. A chill went through my body again due his sexy voice.
"Yes."
I felt a gush of wetness and I knew my panties had to be soaked. I noticed that his nose flared. Maybe he could tell from my expression that his question made me extremely horny. I bit my bottom lip and helplessly gazed at him.
"So… you felt dizzy when I hugged you?"
"Yes."
"Hmmm," he mused.
"I can't really explain why. I don't know. I guess… I guess being that close to you for the first time did something to me. It's killing me to be this honest with you."
"No… never be afraid or hesitant to tell me anything. Trust me... I was so happy to see you."
"Me too."
I was so turned on by him it was ridiculous. I shivered for a brief second and he hugged my side, probably thinking that I wasn't warm enough. It was all him.
"Still cold?" he asked.
"Umm… Not really. That was… just a reaction from you."
"Oh?" he said pleasantly surprised. "Wow nice to know that I have that effect on you."
It was too late to take it back. I felt giddy and embarrassed at the same time. I was speechless and racked my brain on what to say next. I just gave up and started to speak. "Well…" My brain froze. "You look so adorable when you get flustered," he said with a smile. I smiled back and buried my head in his chest out of embarrassment. He took his finger and lifted my chin so that I would look up at him. "God you're beautiful," he breathed. I gazed at his face still speechless feeling my heartbeat race. "You're beautiful too." Bucky slowly leaned down and softly kissed my lips. Then he deepened the kiss letting his tongue enter my mouth. I let out a quite moan and he ran his hand through my hair and gripped it. It made me moan a bit louder. I reached up to his hair and gripped it. I felt dizzy as he gently bit my lips. Then he started to kiss me down my neck giving me little bites and sucking on my skin. My senses were screaming. I haven't been touched by a man in three years. The way he kissed me and caressed me felt better than anyone in the past. He was making me feel lightheaded as I noticed how wet I felt.
"Oh my God," I breathed.
"You taste so good."
"Bucky… Oh... Mmmm," I moaned.
"Sarah… Baby."
My pussy clinched really hard when he moaned my name. Shit if he keeps this up, I'll probably come without him even grinding me. It was hard to believe that this day was ending like this. Bucky Barnes was kissing me and caressing my body. I would have never guessed that this would happen… especially today. I wasn't even that concerned that my brother decided that it wasn't a good idea for me to like him more than friends. I felt a serious connection with him that was far stronger than my brother's doubts about us. I felt like a Mac truck of emotions hit me causing me to be happy and scared at the same time. I've literally never felt this way before.
