The Seduction of Steve Rogers ch 4
Bucky closed the door to the bunk space behind him where his friends still slept, rubbing his eyes and trying to act a bit drunk or spellbound. He wasn't sure which since he'd only been one and not the other.
Mihaela had a tight smile and Anna regarded him cooly. "Good morning, Bucky." Mihaela welcomed him. "Can I get you some breakfast?"
"Yeah. Sure! That work yesterday really made me famished." Barnes replied with as much good humor as he could muster. Anna watched him warily.
He plopped upon the bench at the table, and a plate of steaming hot bacon and fresh rolls appeared with and a simple fruit salad. A full mug of black coffee was also produced from Mihaela's hands. The aromas made Bucky's mouth water like a faucet because it had been so long since he truly ate.
Picking up his fork, he almost felt like a gun from a death squad was aimed at his head but he knew he had to do this to gain the trust of the women and free his friends. Steeling himself against whatever this food was going to do to him, besides nourish him, he took a bite.
The women smiled.
Barnes woke up in his bed. He startled and sat up, not knowing how he arrived there. The other men were gone, and the house was quiet. Heart thumping in his chest, he quickly noticed he was still dressed, and things seemed as normal as they were previously.
Bucky was about to get up and go back to the hearth room of the cottage when Mihaela entered, a bowl of water and wash cloth in her hand. Bucky froze. "Mr. Barnes, are you feeling better?"
"Feeling better?"
She continued to approach and in her softly accented voice continued, "You fainted after eating your breakfast. I was worried you may have a fever!" Her tone was disingenuous.
"I feel fine.", Bucky stammered, noticing that he couldn't move his arms and legs normally; it was like they were made of lead and were too heavy to lift. The closer she got, the heavier they felt. Eventually, he was forced to recline back onto his mattress because his body was so feeling so dense.
She sat on the edge of his cot and set the bowl of water and cloth aside. Her dark eyes were fathomless and unreadable but raked over him like hot coals making his skin prickle uncomfortably. Her small hands began to unbutton his shirt, "I know you think you are in danger. " she gave him a quick glance then returned to the buttons, her tone clinical, "But you are perfectly safe here. You really should eat more and gain some weight." His shirt was open and chest exposed, ribs outlined sharply from eating rations and then not eating for days at the cottage.
"What are you doing to us?" Bucky gritted out uncomfortably.
Mihaela looked at him with the softest expression he'd seen her give anyone, even Steve, "We're going to eat you."
Barnes's eyes widened with horror.
"But first we want to make you all useful to us, in all the ways you can be." She dipped the rag in the water bowl and began to give him a sponge bath, "Especially your Captain." Her eyes raised to his, eyebrows arched seductively.
Fire flared in his eyes. "Oh, I can see your bond." she commented, "I see you are more than friends. You are brothers of the soul. There is an aura around you both and I will hate to break it but when I do there will be more power for me and Anna." The wiping continued but the water began to feel like acid on his skin, "It will be sad and painful. In my long life, I've only seen your kind of bond a few times. A true gift."
As the acidic feeling increased Barnes whimpered and then it turned into a scream. "Anna likes her boys very clean."
