Knock You Down: III
Tumblr media
Summary: James Bucky Barnes is an avowed bachelor and one night stand artist. But when he meets you, he finds out that sometimes love comes around, and it knocks you down. Bucky feeds you after the failure of date number 2.
This is a follow up to Part II
Word count: 2.3 K
Pairing: Art Dealer (mob boss) Bucky Barnes x Reader
A/N: Okay I Lied! I added more words as I edited this and it ended up over 5K. So... there will be four parts to this fic which has posessed my soul. It will be posted Tuesday 10/15. Thank all of you for rocking with me on this one. This was in part inspired by Seb Stan's latest pics and this press run đŸ« , and partially inspired by an old song by some problematic people, lol. This is the result. As usual, I am Basil Exposition, so this is broken into parts.
Warnings: 18+ Only, Minors DNI. Read at your own risk. Slow burn, cursing, mutual pining, idiots in love, playful banter. Bucky and reader talk about sex, without talking about it. Or doing it. This is fluffy, yet angsty and I feel like you might not like it. Let me know if you do.
I no longer have a taglist. Please follow @rampitupandread and turn on notifications to learn when I post! 😘

Bucky Barnes was sitting at your table eating Thai food with you and you weren’t mad. He had ordered twice the amount you requested and damn you, you thought it was cute.
He was cute, casual in t-shirt, sweats and a ball cap. He looked as alluring as he did in a suit.
You were doomed.
Bucky didn't try to get into a deep discussion or get close to you. He just kept you company as you ate and poured you some of the best rosĂ© that you’d ever tasted. 
Food was your love language, and having good food did a lot for your mood. It also didn’t hurt that the delicious snack known as James Bucky Barnes was sitting across from you.
You respected his game.
But somehow you didn’t think it was a game. He’d been honest and straightforward with you. As much as a man in his position could be. Then you realized that he’d probably told you too much.
“What is it, Frumoasă? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Are you here to give me a last meal and then kill me?”
Bucky laughed loudly. He loved that you had the ability to make him do that. He loved

“That mind of yours, Y/N.” 
He shook his head at you.
“I’m not going to kill you. I want you safe. Even if you are not going to be mine.”
Your ears perked up at that phrase.
You already knew that Nico was parked outside of your place. You realized that he had been hanging around since Monday night. 
But what you were tripping over is that Bucky said that he wanted you to be his. 
You normally weren’t into possessiveness, but on James Barnes it was sexy as fuck.
After eating, it was only polite that you gave him a tour of your brownstone. He didn’t touch you, but the proximity of his body to yours at the door of your bedroom was heady stuff. You wanted him to
 
But you just took a deep breath and led him back down to your front door.
“Before you kick me out, I have something to say.”
Bucky had never felt the need to explain anything to anyone in a very long time. But you weren’t just anyone.
“I apologize for giving you a security detail without your knowledge. And then piling my friends on as well. They wanted to check you out, and I wanted to be sure that you were safe. Those gossip blog posts have heightened the risk for you.”
Your eyes widened.
“What posts?”
“We’ve been papped every time we’ve gone out. You didn’t know? I thought that’s why you asked what you did tonight.”
You groaned. 
“No, my friends must have seen them. What do they say?”
Bucky hesitated. Just a moment, and then responded to the look on your face. He ascertained that he was going to have to be straight with you consistently if he wanted to be in your company.
“Well
 Since we’ve been spotted together more than once, one particular site is claiming that we’re already in a relationship. They say you are my girlfriend.”
The softness of his voice when he said ‘girlfriend’ got to you.
Whoo boy.
You groaned, then laughed.
“That’s ridiculous, you’ve never even kissed me.”
Bucky laughed too.
“Ha ha. Yeah. It’s crazyyyyyy.” 
“Isn’t it though
?
You tried to look deep into his eyes, and he let you. You saw something that didn’t really surprise you. So you decided to just ask the question that was on your mind.
“James, what do you want out of this? This
”
You didn’t say what you were thinking, but he knew exactly what you were thinking when you didn’t finish your sentence.
Bucky looked off as if he were seeing something that wasn’t there yet, then back at you.
“I want
 you. I don’t want a one night stand. Or a situationship.”
He watched you carefully as he said the next words.
“I want, I need so much more from you.”
He took both of your hands into his as he leaned against the door frame.
“Listen. When you left earlier this evening, it knocked me on my face. You’ve got me thinking about a lot. Things like what our life might be like in the future.”
You were spiraling as he spoke. ‘Our life,’ ‘future.’ But you tried to remain calm.
“This was never supposed to happen to me. Y/N. But ever since you came into my office on Monday, my heart has been racing. I’ve got feelings for you. Strong ones.”
“Wow.”
It was all you could say. But when you thought about it, you felt the same exact way. You smiled at him and his nerves calmed. 
Just a bit.
“I have to admit that every morning when you text me, I get the biggest smile on my face. That wasn’t something I wanted or planned.”
You looked down at your fingers entwined with his. Yes. This could be a thing.
“It’s not exactly convenient to have these kinds of feelings this fast, James. Especially with all has happened.”
You looked up at him, and the hurt on your face destroyed him.
“I’m really sorry, Y/N. And I understand if you want to pump the breaks. I-”
“If you want me, then why haven’t you made a move?”
You interrupted him to ask about the next most important topic on your list.
Bucky recognized your insecurity.
“Don’t ever doubt the sexiness of your appeal, Frumoasă. I want to kiss you, and more to be honest. But I haven’t because I am so afraid of you.”
The way he looked at you caused a tingle of fear to unfurl in your belly.
Or was it desire? 
“You are afraid of me. I see. You’re a terrible kisser. That’s why you don’t go on second dates. I get it now.”
Bucky threw back his head and laughed.
“Maybe so.”
He gazed at your smile and the way your entire face was alight. Then he brought one of your hands to his lips.
His mouth on your palm enabled you to feel the salt and pepper whiskers on his face. And when he slid those lips to your wrist you moaned a little and squirmed and his eyelids fluttered closed as he inhaled the scent there.
“The skin here is so soft and fragrant, makes me wonder about
”
He stopped speaking but the silence spoke volumes. This man was having wild thoughts about you. Of that you were sure now. You wanted him everywhere.
Bucky brought your hand down from his face and rubbed your wrist with his thumb. The sensuality of the act made you feel unstable. You must have wobbled because his hand went down to your waist to steady you. But you just felt more dizzy.
He chuckled at your tell and saved you again.
“Can we sit?”
“Yeah.”
The couch was a bit dangerous, but the blood was leaving your head.
“Truth?”
“Always, James.”
“Okay. The truth is I don’t think you could handle it.”
You scoffed at the challenge.
“Come again?”
He smirked at you and you rolled your eyes and then he sobered up.
“If I kiss those lips, Y/N, I’m not going to abandon them in haste. I’m going to take my time. And I’m not being cocky, but I’m pretty sure things will progress rapidly. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to stop myself from giving you anything you ask for. Anything.”
The sensual promise was making you wet. You clenched your thighs together, causing Bucky to look down at them and lick his lips. When he looked back up, his eyes were dilated.
You knew that you could have him right now if you wanted. You took a deep breath to clear your head and Bucky’s eyes were on your lips.
This feeling was a drug.
“I’m already falling for you, but I know that I will crash into you. I can get intense about the things and the people that I care about. And you’re not ready for that, Frumoasă. Not at all.”
You pulled your hands away from his even though you wanted to jump his bones. 
“How do you know what I’m ready for, Mr. Barnes?”
Bucky smiled at you.
“You just said that your feelings for me aren’t convenient.”
You sucked your teeth at him and crossed your arms, turning your body away from him. Bucky was charmed by your pout, but a little mad at you closing yourself off from him. If you were his, he’d teach you a lesson about that. He’d open you up. 
But damn, he didn’t need to be so hard right now. You had an important day ahead, and he wasn’t going to rush this experience. He tried to calm down, but his voice betrayed him.
“You also haven’t asked me for a kiss. Although you did tell me that you wanted to fuck my voice...”
You dropped your head, embarrassed.
“Let’s not!”
He laughed, on cloud nine at your shyness with him. He’d teach you to be wanton, and have a grand time doing it.
“Frumoasă mea, you could request a kiss at any time. And I will always give you anything you ask of me. If you ask nicely of course.”
You cocked your head and Bucky bit his lip at how adorable you were.
“You want me to beg you for a kiss?”
Bucky took in the fire in your eyes and his own darkened.
“A kiss is not what I want you begging for.”
You coughed to cover a whimper as your mind went where Bucky wanted it to go. You couldn’t believe that your panties were soaked by someone you’d never even kissed.
“I just want you to know what you’re signing up for if we get physical.”
“From a kiss? It’s like that?”
You tried to be incredulous, but you believed every word that he said. You just wanted to verify.
“So let me get this straight. I kiss you, you rock my world, but I’m not ready for it?”
You’d never been so annoyed yet so turned on.
Bucky shrugged.
“Or you could be right. I’m a horrible kisser. A lousy lay. I’m just trying to stretch out the good times with you before you find that out and dump me.”
You shook your head at him, not wanting to laugh, but doing so anyway.
“...But, in order to find that out, I would have to kiss and lay with you.”
“Of course.”
“You know what
”
Bucky teasing you was the best kind of foreplay. You felt comfortable with him. And now you were intrigued.
“I can’t with you.”
“So we agree.”
“I hate you.”
“You don’t, but you’re cute when you’re angry.”
“Fuck you, James.”
“Is that a request?”
This banter was everything.
You got up from the couch and headed into the kitchen.
“I’m going get you something to drink. Do you drink tea? You seem a little thirsty.”
“As long as you drink with me. You seem a little parched yourself.”
Bucky called after you while watching your curves in your sweats as you flipped him off. He rubbed his hand on the ridge of his semi-hard dick. You were so damn hot. He concentrated on calming down while the kettle heated.
“Honey?”
“Yes, dear?”
You laughing was amazing.
You came back with a tray of herbal tea, milk, and honey and sat down again.
“I do want to talk to you about something else.”
He said it as he prepared his cup.
“Yes?” 
“I want to let you know, as much as I can, the plans for me to go legit. Can I have just a little bit of your time tonight? And then I will let you get some rest.”
Your heart melted and you smiled at him.
“Yeah. You got it.”
—-
You woke up at 3 am, Bucky’s steady heartbeat under your ear and his arms wrapped around you. You had fallen asleep after hours of talking about the future. You looked up at him and those lips were right there. 
You could just steal a kiss.
But you didn’t, just tried to ease out of his arms so you could go pee.
Bucky’s arms tightened around you and you couldn’t move. He was awake.
“What time is it?”
“A little after three.”
He let you go and sat up, looking around, then at you.
“I’m sorry, I talked your ear off and bored you to sleep.”
You shook your head. 
“I wasn’t bored. You made me feel safe.”
Bucky grinned.
“I’m glad that you feel safe with me. You are, you know.”
His morning voice was sensual heaven. You never wanted to kiss someone more in your life.
“And for your safety, I probably need to leave now.”
You wanted him; his body felt good against yours. But he was right. You chuckled and then led him to your door.
“Okay.”
At the door, Bucky turned and looked down at you. He was thoughtful.
“Do you have plans for Sunday?”
“No, why?”
“I wanted to ask you on date number three Saturday night.”
You two stared at each other for a beat before he continued.
“How do you feel about a late dinner at my place after the exhibition? Since you don’t have to get up early the next day.”
You took in his meaning, but you didn’t address it.
“Are you trying to feed me, James?”
His gaze got intense. You got wet again, realizing the double meaning. 
“You have no idea, Frumoasă.”
Holy shit. He caught it too. You gulped.
“Okay. Sounds
 intriguing.”
Bucky looked like a little boy on Christmas morning.
“I’ll stop by the center around midday, then go shopping for our meal. Nico will bring you by. About 8?”
“It’s a date.”
You two grinned at each other like idiots. Then he opened your door to leave.
“James.”
“Yes, Frumoasă?”
“Can I have a kiss?”
“Yes.”
He pulled you into his arms and kissed you on the forehead. It was perfect, and a little bit like a promise.
Then he left, straight into the early morning fog, waving at Nico as he got into a sleek black sports car, blew a kiss at you, and then pulled away.
That felt like an escape from the inevitable.
To both him and to you.

As always, let me knowww! ❀

Wanda was the one who found you, despite you being in hiding for 10 years.
She and Vision found you in a bar in the Heights, Willy’s, pool sharking naive tourists. Your super speed helped you cheat, earn money, and get away from angry marks. No one peeped it, except Wanda.
They kept coming around, challenging you, and showing you up, because no matter how fast you were, you couldn’t beat Vision’s perfection, or Wanda’s magic. Showing themselves to you was the first step in winning you over.
You’d been on your own for ten years, since you were 13, when you escaped from the facility your parents sold you to, and the ease of falling in love with these beings astounded you.

II Most Wanted-
Jake Syverson x Reader AU (Sy x Buttercup)
You fell in love with Captain Syverson 20 years ago. 17 year old Football and Baseball Captain Jake Syverson, that is.
You two didn’t make any sense: you were the new girl in town, and Sy was the Homecoming king, but you were his shotgun rider in his iconic Ford Bronco for a few majestic months in 2004.
An unplanned pregnancy, deception, and duty tear you two apart. Forever.
So you thought.
Life took you across continents, marriages, and careers as you both grew up, and you thought your heart was safe. But the feeling you got when you saw Captain Syverson, US Army, Retired, at your 20 year reunion was quite the unexpected twist in your orderly life.
This reunion causes your lives to collide in both the best and the worst ways. Will you run, or ride or die?
Old feelings and new promises.
Angst, fluff, and smut.
This one’s got it all.

You knew that you could have him right now if you wanted. You took a deep breath to clear your head and Bucky’s eyes were on your lips.
This feeling was a drug.
“I’m already falling for you, but I know that I will crash into you. I can get intense about the things and the people that I care about. And you’re not ready for that, Frumoasă. Not at all.”
You pulled your hands away from his even though you wanted to jump his bones. 
“How do you know what I’m ready for, Mr. Barnes?”
Bucky smiled at you.
“You just said that your feelings for me aren’t convenient.”
You sucked your teeth at him and crossed your arms, turning your body away from him. Bucky was charmed by your pout, but a little mad at you closing yourself off from him. If you were his, he’d teach you a lesson about that. He’d open you up. 
But damn, he didn’t need to be so hard right now. You had an important day ahead, and he wasn’t going to rush this experience. He tried to calm down, but his voice betrayed him.
“You also haven’t asked me for a kiss. Although you did tell me that you wanted to fuck my voice...”
You dropped your head, embarrassed.
“Let’s not!”
He laughed, on cloud nine at your shyness with him. He’d teach you to be wanton, and have a grand time doing it.
“Frumoasă mea, you could request a kiss at any time. And I will always give you anything you ask of me. If you ask nicely of course.”
You cocked your head and Bucky bit his lip at how adorable you were.
“You want me to beg you for a kiss?”
Bucky took in the fire in your eyes and his own darkened.
“A kiss is not what I want you begging for.”
You coughed to cover a whimper as your mind went where Bucky wanted it to go. You couldn’t believe that your panties were soaked by someone you’d never even kissed.
“I just want you to know what you’re signing up for if we get physical.”
“From a kiss? It’s like that?”
You tried to be incredulous, but you believed every word that he said. You just wanted to verify.
“So let me get this straight. I kiss you, you rock my world, but I’m not ready for it?”
You’d never been so annoyed yet so turned on.
Bucky shrugged.
“Or you could be right. I’m a horrible kisser. A lousy lay. I’m just trying to stretch out the good times with you before you find that out and dump me.”
You shook your head at him, not wanting to laugh, but doing so anyway.
“...But, in order to find that out, I would have to kiss and lay with you.”
“Of course.”
“You know what
”
Bucky teasing you was the best kind of foreplay. You felt comfortable with him. And now you were intrigued.
“I can’t with you.”
“So we agree.”
“I hate you.”
“You don’t, but you’re cute when you’re angry.”
“Fuck you, James.”
“Is that a request?”
This banter was everything.
You got up from the couch and headed into the kitchen.
“I’m going get you something to drink. Do you drink tea? You seem a little thirsty.”
“As long as you drink with me. You seem a little parched yourself.”
Bucky called after you while watching your curves in your sweats as you flipped him off. He rubbed his hand on the ridge of his semi-hard dick. You were so damn hot. He concentrated on calming down while the kettle heated.
“Honey?”
“Yes, dear?”
You laughing was amazing.
You came back with a tray of herbal tea, milk, and honey and sat down again.
“I do want to talk to you about something else.”
He said it as he prepared his cup.
“Yes?” 
“I want to let you know, as much as I can, the plans for me to go legit. Can I have just a little bit of your time tonight? And then I will let you get some rest.”
Your heart melted and you smiled at him.
“Yeah. You got it.”
—-
You woke up at 3 am, Bucky’s steady heartbeat under your ear and his arms wrapped around you. You had fallen asleep after hours of talking about the future. You looked up at him and those lips were right there. 
You could just steal a kiss.
But you didn’t, just tried to ease out of his arms so you could go pee.
Bucky’s arms tightened around you and you couldn’t move. He was awake.
“What time is it?”
“A little after three.”
He let you go and sat up, looking around, then at you.
“I’m sorry, I talked your ear off and bored you to sleep.”
You shook your head. 
“I wasn’t bored. You made me feel safe.”
Bucky grinned.
“I’m glad that you feel safe with me. You are, you know.”
His morning voice was sensual heaven. You never wanted to kiss someone more in your life.
“And for your safety, I probably need to leave now.”
You wanted him; his body felt good against yours. But he was right. You chuckled and then led him to your door.
“Okay.”
At the door, Bucky turned and looked down at you. He was thoughtful.
“Do you have plans for Sunday?”
“No, why?”
“I wanted to ask you on date number three Saturday night.”
You two stared at each other for a beat before he continued.
“How do you feel about a late dinner at my place after the exhibition? Since you don’t have to get up early the next day.”
You took in his meaning, but you didn’t address it.
“Are you trying to feed me, James?”
His gaze got intense. You got wet again, realizing the double meaning. 
“You have no idea, Frumoasă.”
Holy shit. He caught it too. You gulped.
“Okay. Sounds
 intriguing.”
Bucky looked like a little boy on Christmas morning.
“I’ll stop by the center around midday, then go shopping for our meal. Nico will bring you by. About 8?”
“It’s a date.”
You two grinned at each other like idiots. Then he opened your door to leave.
“James.”
“Yes, Frumoasă?”
“Can I have a kiss?”
“Yes.”
He pulled you into his arms and kissed you on the forehead. It was perfect, and a little bit like a promise.
Then he left, straight into the early morning fog, waving at Nico as he got into a sleek black sports car, blew a kiss at you, and then pulled away.
That felt like an escape from the inevitable.
To both him and to you.

As always, let me knowww! ❀

II Most Wanted-
Jake Syverson x Reader AU (Sy x Buttercup)
You fell in love with Captain Syverson 20 years ago. 17 year old Football and Baseball Captain Jake Syverson, that is.
You two didn’t make any sense: you were the new girl in town, and Sy was the Homecoming king, but you were his shotgun rider in his iconic Ford Bronco for a few majestic months in 2004.
An unplanned pregnancy, deception, and duty tear you two apart. Forever.
So you thought.
Life took you across continents, marriages, and careers as you both grew up, and you thought your heart was safe. But the feeling you got when you saw Captain Syverson, US Army, Retired, at your 20 year reunion was quite the unexpected twist in your orderly life.
This reunion causes your lives to collide in both the best and the worst ways. Will you run, or ride or die?
Old feelings and new promises.
Angst, fluff, and smut.
This one’s got it all.

PREVIEW:
You weren’t even supposed to be on Raya that night.
You’d just finished a long shoot in a downtown loft where the air was thick with hairspray, and the photographer kept yelling absurdities like: “Give me strong, but soft! Like a powerful whisper!”
Your feet ached. Your back screamed. The only thing keeping you sane was the cold cabernet sauvignon sweating in your hand.
You weren’t looking for anything. You just wanted to see some pretty faces and feel like a hot girl with options.
Swipe.
Swipe.
No.
No.
Hell no.
Well damn. Ari Levinson.

------
You decided to go to New York Fantasy Con alone. New city, new start, and the perfect place to meet fellow nerds who shared your love for all things sci-fi and fantasy.
You weren’t looking for anything more than a fun day of geeking out, debating space battles, and admiring top-tier cosplay.
One moment, you were adjusting your belt as Crewman Number Six, your uniform pristine, your perpetually wary I-know-exactly-how-this-ends expression firmly in place, and the next, you were nearly toppling over a very solid, very well-dressed Gandalf.
——
The day was filled with the unexpected.
The con was the perfect place to disappear, everyone in costume, no one staring, no one whispering. He was just another guy in robes and a fake beard.
Who’d walked in feeling lighter than he had in months.
And then you barreled into his life. Literally.
His staff clattered to the floor as he reached out with lighting fast reflexes, strong hands gripping your arms to steady you.
“My apologies,” he said, fully in character, though amusement danced behind the accent.
“I should know better than to block the path of a brave and noble
” His sharp blue eyes flicked over your uniform. “
expendable crew member?”
Galaxy Quest. Classic. His favorite.
“I prefer unsung hero, but sure.”
Your quick wit made him grin, and then you laughed a warm and genuine laugh. Something about the sound made him feel warm inside.
From there, it was easy. You two clicked. Effortlessly. 
Hours passed in a blur of banter, debates, and sly glances. You argued about the physics of warp drive, whispered snark about questionable cosplay choices, and shared his soft pretzel without hesitation,even if he definitely hadn’t offered it at first. 
Gandalf, as it turned out, was oddly possessive of his snacks. But once you stole the first piece, he started handing them over willingly, eyes on you every time you took a bite.
He just couldn’t stop staring because you were stunning, and not just in the obvious way. 
It was the way you moved,like you belonged there. Like you knew exactly who you were and weren’t afraid to take up space. 
And in way your uniform hugged your body, tailored just right to fit every curve, walking the line between adorable and dangerously distracting.
He was stupidly attracted to you. Cosplay or not.
You in that uniform, beaming and fearless, practically walking through the con so unassuming yet confident?
Yeah, that was doing things to him.
He noticed the way your eyes flicked toward him when you thought he wasn’t looking. And also the way your smile deepened when you caught him watching. The way you leaned in a little closer every time he spoke was magnetic. 
You were flirting. Hard.
And he liked it. Too much.
And that was the problem.
Because you didn’t know who he was.
You thought he was just some guy in a good Gandalf cosplay. You were flirting with that guy. Not Bucky Barnes.
Not the name, or the past, or the weight that came with it.
He should’ve kept his distance.
But he didn’t.
And on your side?
You had no idea what this man looked like.
Tall, yes.
Broad, clearly.
That voice, a warm tenor, and with a hint of rasp, was borderline unfair.
And those eyes. Icy blue, too intelligent to be just cosplay.
But still. Long grey beard. Hat. Layers of wizard robes. His entire being was a mystery.
And yet you were attracted to him. Nonsensically so.
When the crowd got thick, he let his hand find the small of your back and guided you through. 
He could’ve let go when the aisle cleared, but he didn’t. Not right away. Not when you felt that warm and solid against him. Not when his brain was full of you and your goddamn perfect laugh.
The electricity was ridiculous.
And maybe you let yourself lean back into his touch just a little.
You told yourself it wasn’t a big deal. You flirted all the time, right? It didn’t mean anything.
Except you wanted it to mean something. The connection felt too easy. Too real. And that scared you more than the mystery.
Who was this guy?
You didn’t know his name, didn’t know what he looked like under the layers, and still
 you were into him.
Really into him.
Which was why, when the con ended and you stepped out into the fading light of Manhattan, neither of you were ready for it to be over.
“Well, Gandalf,” you teased, “it’s been fun. Remember: Never Give Up, Never Surrender!”
He let out a sexy chuckle, but he hesitated, glancing toward the subway entrance, weighing something in his mind. Then, before he could second-guess himself, he spoke.
“You wanna grab dinner after this?”
You smiled up at him. 
“But we had such a good time today. I don’t wanna mess it up.”
His lips curved upwards. 
“There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”
You snorted. 
“Smooth for a 2,000-year-old wizard.” 
You narrowed your eyes playfully. 
“Are you asking me out, Gandalf?”
He hesitated. That was the moment. He could’ve kept the beard on. Could’ve let you keep thinking he was just another guy with decent taste in pretzels and fantasy quotes. It was refreshing, getting to be just a guy, instead of a name, a history, a headline. 
But if this was going anywhere, you deserved to know.
“I’m only 108,” he said dryly, then added. “And yeah. I think I know when I’m asking someone on a date.”
You choked on air. 
“I’m sorry. What?”
He sighed, reaching up to hook his fingers into the fake beard. Slowly, he peeled it away, along with the expertly applied wrinkles.
Your eyes widened. Holy. Shit.
What remained wasn’t just some random guy in a killer cosplay.
It was Bucky Barnes.
Bucky saw the realization hit you. He braced himself, waiting for the change. The flicker of recognition and wariness, the oh, the backpedaling. It always happened.
“You probably figured it out before, but
 yeah. When people recognize me, they, uh
 sometimes change their minds. About me.”
For a long second, you just stared. Then, your lips curved.
“I didn’t know. And my mind is
 not changed.”
You grinned, shaking your head. 
“You’re alright, Barnes. I mean, I’ve spent all afternoon with you, and you’ve been kind, funny, and genuinely one of the best parts of today. That doesn’t just disappear because you’re also kind of a big deal.”
You looked around, lowering your voice.
“To be honest. I was in it for the beard.”
Bucky blinked, then laughed quietly. He looked surprised, like he didn’t expect you to still be standing there.
“Well, if that’s what did it, I could’ve just kept it on.”
You were still here. Still flirting.
Your eyes swept over him. The mystery was gone, but the pull remained.
Stronger now.
“Yeah,” you said. “But you’re not so bad without it.”
His gaze flicked to your mouth, then back to your eyes. He was still cautious, and still wondering if this was real.
But you weren’t pulling away.
“Well,” he murmured, voice lower now, “guess I better make sure our date’s as good as the con, huh?”
You bumped his shoulder.
“You better. No pressure, though.”
No pressure.
Except for the fact that for the first time in a long time he actually wanted this to go right.
And you kept thinking: Damn. I think I actually really like this guy.
—-
The restaurant was small and warm, just cozy enough to forget you were in the middle of Manhattan. Bucky picked a booth near the back, the kind of spot with a clear view of the door.
Classic.
You didn’t call him on it. Just leaned on your elbows and watched him over the rim of your drink. That fucking uniform of your was getting him hard.
“So you didn’t wanna be recognized,” you mused. “Cool.”
You sipped slowly, licking a drop from your lip with deliberate nonchalance. Bucky’s eyes dropped. And didn’t stop at your mouth. He snapped his gaze back up quickly however, jaw tight.
Oh yeah. He was so fucked. He wanted to fuck.
You tilted your head, smiling like you knew exactly what you were doing.
“But Gandalf isn't just any old man,” you said, voice light. “He’s wise, powerful...”
You traced a finger around your glass. His eyes followed the motion, slow and unblinking. Bucky clenched his jaw, visibly struggling.
“
respected. Worshipped, even.”
Bucky swallowed hard. His fingers flexed around his glass, then curled into a fist.
You leaned in. 
“Bucky, you’ve been staring at me for the past twenty minutes.” 
You tapped the side of your glass. 
“Is this a wizard thing, or are you always like this?”
He cleared his throat again. He was always like this.
But you
were different.
“I
” 
He cut himself off, jaw clenching. He knew that you knew that he was struggling, and what he was struggling with. And that made him even weaker for you. 
You enjoyed making him squirm. And he liked it. Too much. Way too much.
Jesus, what were you doing to him?
Bucky huffed a weak laugh, shaking his head. His eyes flicked to your lips again and this time, he didn’t look away as fast.
“I didn’t mean to.” He paused. 
You’re just so fucking hot.
You grinned. Wicked.
“And here I thought it was some kind of kink.”
Bucky choked on his drink.
Your smile turned gleeful as you sat up straighter, pressing forward just enough to make him very aware of what was beneath your uniform. He was staring. Again.
“Oh my God,” you lit up, delighted. “Was I right?”
He coughed, his ears pink, and glared at you over his glass. 
He was so cute when he was flustered.
“No.”
You arched an eyebrow. 
“You sure? You did say you’re an old man.”
Bucky’s jaw ticked. Your grin only widened
You were having too much fun. It was like a game of cat and mouse, and dammit, he was the fucking mouse.
Then, just to test something, you dragged your fingers up and down the stem of your wine glass. 
He shifted, breath hitching. And you knew.
Oh, you knew. You knew what was happening under that table. You imagined, correctly, that he was hard as a rock.
“Oh,” you whispered, delighted. “You like this.”
His metal fingers gripped the table edge.
“Doll,” he said, low and warning.
But that just made you smile.
“You’ve been looking at me all day like you want to do something,” you murmured, watching his throat bob as he swallowed hard.
“So why are you holding back?”
Bucky rubbed his jaw. Discipline. Control. You could see him straining for it.
“Because I like you,” he admitted, voice gruff. 
Oh.
oh
Something in your chest tightened. Because that was real.
You stared at him for a beat, the energy arcing between you, but now it wasn’t just pure physical attraction.
“Bucky,” you said, voice softer now.
He lifted his gaze to you, blue eyes dark and hungry.
“I like that you’re holding back,” you said slowly. 
“Because it means that when you don’t
” 
You leaned in just a fraction. 
“...it’s gonna be worth it.”
Bucky let out a breath like he’d been punched.
And then he smiled slowly,a new knowledge coming into his eyes now that he knew where your head was at. He stood, tossing a few bills on the table.
“We better get outta here, Doll.”
And you didn’t hesitate. You followed.
—-----
The night air should’ve cooled the heat simmering between you and Bucky, but it didn’t. Not even close.
The restaurant had been one thing, but now it was just the two of you, walking side by side down the New York street, the hum of the city around you.
Bucky hadn’t touched you, not once.
But you’d felt him all over you nonetheless. You felt him in the way his shoulder brushed yours when you walked too close. In the twitch of his fingers, like he was one second from grabbing your hand. 
Or your waist. 
Or your throat. 
“Y’know,” you murmured, breaking the silence, “you don’t have to be so disciplined.”
Bucky laughed quietly.
“Doll.”
“What?”
“You know what.”
You peered up at him innocently. 
“I really don’t.”
Bucky stopped walking.
You did too, turning to face him. He was really looking at you now, his jaw tight, eyes dark.
“You think I don’t wanna touch you?”
His voice had some longing in it. 
“That I don’t wanna pin you against that wall right now and see how many ways I can make you say my name?”
Oh.
Oh, fuck.
“But,” he continued, voice still measured, still controlled, 
“I don’t wanna do this wrong.” His metal hand flexed. “Not with you.”
Something in your chest fluttered at that, a warmth different from the heat between your legs.
“You wouldn’t be,” you murmured.
He shook his head, staring down at the sidewalk.
“I want you too much, Doll.” 
Then he looked back up at you, hitting you with those baby blues.
“And that’s dangerous for me.”
“Well,” you murmured, stepping closer, “maybe I like a little danger.”
His hand twitched. The struggle was written all over him. So you tipped the scale. You reached out and brushed your fingers over his metal wrist gently. Cool vibranium met warm skin.
Bucky inhaled sharply.
Then, slowly, his fingers curled around yours. Testing. Then gripping.
You bit your lip.
“Doll,” he warned.
You looked up at him, so alluring.  
“Soldier.”
His breath caught. Then he stepped into you. Still not touching, but so close. The heat of him soaked through your skin.
You licked your lips, and Bucky’s gaze dropped.
“Fuck,” he breathed.
Then he kissed you. Barely. Just a brush. Light enough to make you chase it.
The spark could’ve lit up Manhattan.
He pulled back an inch, staring into your eyes like he was trying to memorize you.
You could barely breathe. You wanted his hands. His mouth. His weight. You wanted him unleashed.
But Bucky was still trying to be good.
He lifted his flesh hand, skimming your jaw.
“I’m trying to be a gentleman,” he rasped.
You tilted your chin, pressing into his palm.
“What if I don’t want you to be?”
His eyes turned molten blue.
And then,his phone buzzed.
He just stood there, breathing hard, before letting out a rough, frustrated laugh.
“Guess the universe wants me to behave.”
You smirked. “For now.”
Bucky met your gaze, lust flashing behind his eyes.
------
Somehow you made it to your place and the tension hadn’t lessened. It had evolved. 
When you closed the front door behind you, Bucky snapped.
You turned to face him and he was there, pinning you to the door before you could even inhale. His metal arm slammed against the wood beside your head with a soft thud, and the other cradled your jaw, rough and tender all at once as his mouth crashed into yours.
No hesitation. No restraint. Just need.
You gasped, and he took the opportunity to deepen the kiss, tongue sliding against yours, slow but demanding. He kissed like a man who’d been starved for years and finally got his first bite.
And God, you tasted so good.
When he pulled back, his pupils were blown wide, chest heaving.
“You have no idea what you’ve been doing to me,” he rasped.
You smirked, breathless as your fingers found the hardness in his jeans. 
“I have some idea.”
His eyes darkened.
“You think this is a game?” 
His voice dropped, low and dangerous. His thumb brushed your bottom lip, slow and firm, pressing just enough to make your breath catch.
You looked up at him through your lashes, heart hammering. 
“Is it not?”
“That’s it,” Bucky growled.
One second you were against the door, the next you were being lifted, your legs wrapping around his waist as he carried you like you weighed nothing. Your back hit the wall, his mouth finding the column of your throat. He kissed, licked, and bit, not enough to leave marks, not yet, but enough to make you whimper.
“Still wanna play?” he murmured against your skin.
“Yes,” you breathed, because you were nothing if not committed.
Bucky’s mouth crashed back to yours and his hand found the underside of your thigh and squeezed. His metal hand skimmed your waist, the cold kiss of it against your hot skin making you gasp.
“You want me to lose control?” he asked, lips trailing down your jaw, across your collarbone.  You moaned, arching into him.
“Yes, Soldier. Bedroom is over there,” you pointed weakly, then your hands returned to his shoulders.
Bucky grinned against you, cocky now. 
“Good girl.”
He walked you to the bedroom, never breaking contact. You were clawing at his jacket, his shirt. You needed to feel skin, metal, him. You didn’t care about slow or gentle anymore. You just wanted him.
He dropped you onto the bed and stood over you for a beat, chest rising and falling like he’d run a marathon. His hair was a mess, lips kiss-bitten, eyes blazing.
You sat up slightly, supported on your elbows, and tilted your head.
“Well?”
Bucky reached for his shirt, peeled it off in one smooth motion, and let it drop to the floor.
You swallowed hard. Good lord. Scars. Muscle. Metal. History. He was so hot.
Bucky climbed onto the bed until he was hovering over you, mouth brushing your ear.
“You’re not ready for what I wanna do to you,” he whispered.
“Shut up and take your pants off,” you whispered back.
When he did, your eyes went wide.
"Is that Grabthar's Hammer?"
He laughed softly. Then he kissed you again.  This time, there was no more teasing.
You were laid out naked beneath Bucky like something sacred, flushed and panting, the room thick with your scent.
Buckhy knelt between your legs, jaw tight, fists clenched like he was still holding himself back even now. His chest rose and fell, a man at war with his self-control. You shifted, your naked cunt calling to him and his eyes dropped instantly.
And then he broke.
Bucky dragged you closer like he’d been starving for this. He kissed your stomach slowly first, before biting just beneath your ribs, then moved lower. You gasped, your fingers threading into his hair.
“You still sure you want this?” he rasped against your skin, voice barely human.
You laughed breathlessly, tugging his face up so you could look him dead in the eye.
“If you don’t wreck me, old man, I’m gonna be pissed.”
That did it.
Bucky smirked, and then placed a kiss on your bare mound. Then, his mouth trailed lower, and gently kissed your clit as your eyes rolled and your nipples became even stiffer mountain peaks. Those ice blue eyes held yours captive as he flattened his tongue and licked a disrespectful stripe up the split of you. 
When Bucky finally tasted you, he moaned. A low, guttural sound that made your toes curl.
And he didn’t stop. He devoured. He licked into you, fucking you with his tongue, and pulling on your clit like it was saltwater taffy.
His hands pinned your hips down, metal unforgiving, flesh impossibly warm, like he was trying to memorize the exact shape of you against his palms.
You were already close, embarrassingly close, because this wasn’t just sex; it was a seal to your connection. This was the shit.
Bucky touched you like you were precious and filthy. And he looked at you like he wanted to worship and destroy you in the same breath.
When he slipped two fingers inside you, metal, cold and smooth, your back arched and a broken moan escaped your lips. His mouth didn’t stop. His rhythm didn’t falter. He was focused, like this was a mission, and your pleasure was the only thing on the damn agenda.
“Bucky,” you gasped, hand clutching at his hair, “I’m—”
“I know, I can taste it. Smell it,” he said, voice gravel and heat between your thighs. 
“Be good. Let me feel you come on my face.”
You did. Oh god you did.
You shattered, mouth open in a silent scream, thighs trembling around his head. Bucky didn’t stop, even as your body shook, even as it sounded like you’d forgotten how to breathe. He slowed, sure, but only just enough to guide you down from the edge.
He looked up, chin slick, eyes feral. Then he crawled up your body and kissed you, letting you taste yourself on his tongue.
“You okay?” he whispered, brushing your curls back from your damp forehead, voice suddenly soft again.
“I think I saw Sauron," you blinked up at him, dazed.
"What about you?"
He chuckled darkly.
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he cums precisely when he means to."
"I don't think that's the quote... oh fuccckkkk!"
Bucky moved with no warning, just a low, “Fuck, Doll,” before he lined himself up and slid in.
Your breath caught like a prayer.
He was big. Thick. Harder than steel and twice as punishing. He bottomed out slow, but deep, like he needed you to feel every inch of him.
And you could.
Your hands flew to his back, nails digging into muscle as he held still, forehead pressed to yours, breathing heavy.
“You okay?” he asked again, but his voice was strained now, like he wasn’t.
“Better than okay,” you breathed, clenching around him on purpose.
His control cracked.
He snapped his hips forward.
And that was it. 
The end of the gentleman. 
The death of restraint. 
All that carefully held discipline gone, replaced with something primal.
Something desperate.
He fucked you.
Slow at first. Deep. Every stroke angled just right, like he’d mapped you out in his mind and memorized exactly what made you tremble.
Then faster. Harder. Hips slamming into yours, head buried in your neck, one hand gripping your thigh to keep you exactly where he wanted you.
“Jesus,” Bucky growled, “You feel like fuckin’ heaven.”
You moaned something back, maybe his name, maybe nonsense, and he grinned, all teeth and hunger and male pride.
“Say it again.”
“Bucky
”
“No,” he rasped, grabbing your chin, making you look at him.
“Say what I am.”
You whimpered, broken and breathless.
“Soldier.”
His rhythm stuttered. And then he wrecked you. No finesse now. Just power. 
Just pure, relentless, possessive need. Skin slapping, bed shaking, your name falling from his lips like a litany.
You clawed at his back. Bit his shoulder. He loved it. Ate it up. Drove deeper, harder, until your legs were numb and your voice was hoarse from screaming his name.
And when you came again, a fucking detonation, he followed you with a moan that sounded like it could crack the walls. You felt him pulse spray inside you, hot and endless, as he collapsed against you with a groan.
Silence. Except for breathing. His, ragged and heavy. Yours, shaky and stunned.
He didn’t move right away. Just kissed your shoulder. Your collarbone. The corner of your mouth.
“Still with me?” he murmured.
You blinked up at him, eyes glassy.
“I never want you be a gentleman again.”
Bucky laughed, low and pleased.
“You haven’t even seen me misbehave yet.”
You barely had time to breathe.
Bucky didn’t even pull out. Still buried to the hilt, somehow still hard and already rolling his hips again, slower this time, more deliberate. Testing.
Your overstimulated body jerked at the sensation, a whimper escaping your lips.
He grinned against your throat.
“Oh, look at that,” he murmured, voice dark silk. “Sensitive.”
You tried to answer, tried to say something, but then he drew back just enough to thrust again, deep and slow, and your brain short-circuited. Your back arched off the bed, hands scrambling for anything to anchor yourself.
Bucky just watched you hungrily. He was fascinated.
He held himself up on one arm, the other drifting slowly down your body, metal fingers grazing your throat, your chest, down to your belly, resting right where the head of his cock pushed up from the inside.
“Right here,” he whispered, pressing just enough to make you feel it. 
“You feel that, sweetheart?”
You nodded, dazed, lips parted.
He moved again.  A slow grind,  a deep roll. And the pressure made you gasp.
“God,” you breathed.
Bucky smirked, leaning in to kiss the corner of your mouth. 
“Nah. Not God.”
He shifted his weight, grabbed your thigh, and flipped you without warning.
You let out a shocked cry as he pulled your hips up, chest pressed into the mattress, and entered you from behind in one smooth thrust that had you biting the pillow.
The new angle was devastating.
He set a punishing rhythm, hands gripping your hips. His hands, one warm and flesh, the other cold and unrelenting vibranium, held you in place like you were his to claim.
“You said no more gentleman,” he rasped, panting as he fucked into you harder. 
“You sure you can handle that, Doll?”
You sobbed out something that sounded like yes.
He chuckled wickedly.
Then one hand slid up your spine, between your shoulder blades, curling into your hair to tug your head back just enough to hear him growl in your ear.
“You look so fuckin’ pretty like this, ruined.”
You clenched around him, and he groaned, hips stuttering.
“Oh, you like that, huh?” 
His teeth scraped your neck. 
“Like it when I talk to you like this? Like you’re mine?”
You were beyond answering now, every nerve ending lit up, your body already climbing again. How was this possible?
As he fucked you through the aftermath of the last orgasm straight into the next.
Then you felt it.
His metal hand slipped between your legs, finding your clit with devastating precision.
“Gonna come for me again, sweetheart?” he whispered.
“Gonna soak my cock like a good girl?”
You screamed when you did, your entire body locking up, shaking under him, pulsing around him so hard that he nearly lost control.
He held on just long enough to groan your name, slamming into you one final time before coming with a shudder so intense it nearly brought him to his knees.
After, he collapsed beside you, dragging you back against his chest with an arm wrapped tight around your waist, breathing hot against your skin.
“Still don’t want me to be a gentleman?” he murmured, smug and breathless.
You couldn’t even speak, hadn’t even caught your breath.
You were still trembling, your thighs slick and shaking, your mind floating somewhere between pleasure-drunk and completely wrecked.
And Bucky?
Bucky hadn’t moved far. Still pressed against your back, one arm locked tight around your waist, chest rising and falling against your shoulder blades. But his hard cock was nudging against your inner thigh again. 
You were realizing what the term supersoldier meant. You were wrecked but he wasn’t even tired.
“You’re insatiable,” you managed to rasp, voice half-muffled by the sheets.
He nuzzled into your neck, chuckling low. 
“Says the one who begged for it.”
You turned your head, just enough to meet his eyes, and smirked. 
“I didn’t beg.”
Bucky raised a brow. “No?”
Then he rolled his hips, sliding his cock between your thighs again without fully entering, just letting you feel the weight of him.
Heavy. Christ, his cock was so deliciously heavy.
Your breath caught.
“No,” you repeated, but this time it wasn’t convincing.
“Mmm,” he murmured, kissing your shoulder. 
“I think you did beg. Might’ve even said please, if I remember right.”
“Lies,” you whispered, but the way you arched back into him gave you away.
And Bucky grinned.
“Alright then, Doll,” he breathed, shifting to grip your hips again, “if you’re not gonna beg
”
Then he slid inside again, slow and torturous into your abused hole.
“
guess I’ll just fuck it out of you.”
You moaned, your back arching, and Bucky didn’t even give you time to adjust. He just started moving, deep and slow at first, rolling his hips so that every stroke dragged perfectly against your walls. 
You were oversensitive, your body already spent, but somehow this was worse.
Or better.
You couldn’t tell. You felt everything.
Bucky leaned over you, chest to your back again, the heat of him covering you completely. One hand tangled in your hair, pulling your head to the side so he could mouth at your throat.
The other slipped under you and of course he found your clit again.
“Let’s see if I can make you beg now,” he murmured, thumb pressing just right.
You cried out.
“Still not beggin’, huh?” he rasped.
“Not even a little?”
You whimpered, thighs trembling.
“Baby,” he growled in your ear, “you’re fuckin’ soaked. I can feel you dripping down my balls. And you’re gonna lie to me?”
You tried. You tried to sass him. But then he hit that angle and rubbed just right and —
“Fuck! Please! Bucky!”
There it was.
He smiled against your skin, triumphant.
“There’s my good girl.”
Then he flipped you again, barely pulling out before he was slamming back in with enough force to shake the headboard. Your legs wrapped around his waist, your nails raked down his back, and Bucky groaned, burying his face against your neck.
His voice was ragged now.
“You feel so fuckin’ good, goddamn can’t get enough of you, can’t let you go
this is not just one night
”
You were gone. Spiraling. You didn’t even know what number this was anymore.
Orgasm or round, you’d lost count.
But Bucky knew.
He always knew.
“Come for me again,” he ordered, hand cupping the back of your neck as his hips pounded into yours.
“I want you to fall apart while I’m still inside you.”
And you did.
You shattered around him, one last scream torn from your throat, and that was what finally dragged Bucky over the edge. He came with a groan, deep and raw, spilling inside you as he gripped you like he never wanted to let go.
—-
Minutes passed. Maybe hours. Time stopped meaning anything.
Eventually, you blinked up at him, hair askew cheeks flushed, throat hoarse.
“
You’re an evil wizard,” you croaked.
Bucky just smirked, brushing your hair back and blowing cool air on you. You closed your eyes and smiled at the tender gesture.
“You started it, crewman.”
You laughed weakly, burying your face in his chest.
“
Worth it.”
Bucky kissed the top of your head and held you closer.
“Damn right it was.”
——-
How’d you like it? 😇

———-
Bucky woke with his lips tingling for want of you.
After your first date, sleep had been elusive. His thoughts of you led to a physical condition that he was used to taking care of right away, one way or another.
He decided that only you could solve his problem.
You had him as hard as a rock and Bucky knew that your soft curves were both the culprit and the cure
In his dreams, he had been eating you out, the smell in his nostrils a mix the your natural scent and perfume on your wrist as he went down on you. He couldn’t actually taste you, but he just knew that you were delicious.  
Knowing that he would be distracted all day, Bucky tried other means to work out his frustration. He got up, worked out, and concentrated on not being a simp. 
Unsuccessful.
At the stroke of 8 am Bucky sent you a good morning text and inquiring about your sleep. He hoped that your dreams were as full of him as his were of you.
Bucky chuckled as he pressed send. Good morning texts were not in his repertoire, quite the opposite. He was a pro in dodging follow up texts from his conquests.
After 10 minutes, he put his phone down, because he realized he was staring at it waiting for your response. In the shower, the stream of cold water was meant to calm the lava in his veins at the thought of you still asleep in bed. He needed to stop thinking of waking you up with his head between your legs because then his erection would never go down.
Back in his bedroom, Bucky saw that you had responded. His heart was in his throat at just the notification of not just a text, but an image sent on his screen. He had to sit down.
I had sweet dreams.
Image sent from Y/N
The image was a pic of you in your bed, hair tied back and no makeup. The morning sunlight on your skin was everything and the soft smile on your face looked so kissable.
It appeared that you were wearing a tank top. He could see your neck and the tiniest bit of cleavage, but it was enough to have him raging hard again. 
The highly rational urge to mark you up as a punishment for torturing him came to him like a bolt of lightning.
God, the thought of punishing, maybe edging you all day, or better yet, having you beg him to stop making you cum as he overstimulated you sent his hand to his dick under the towel, but his other hand was reaching for your contact. 
He groaned when he realized what he was doing. One hand had to stop. He wasn’t going to do this.
Bucky unhanded himself and sighed as your phone rang, then his stomach dropped as he realized you probably wouldn’t pick up. 
“Hullo? James?”
Your morning voice. The fantasy of how to wake you up took hold again.
“G-,” Bucky cleared his throat, but it didn’t help much.
“Good morning Frumoasă.”
Damn, his voice. Yeah. You had a voice kink. You felt the urge to ask for a picture of him.
And you knew where that would lead.
The rest of your day depended upon not revealing how much of a slut you were for him already, so you decided to crack a joke.
“Fumosa? What does that mean? You calling me fugly or something?”
Bucky laughed, and the sexual tension was broken. You were so fucking charming. He was definitely feeling you.
Bucky wanted to do so much more than to just be physical with you; he wanted to just be with you.
“Far from it, Y/N. Frumoasă means beautiful in Romanian. Ești foarte frumoasă. You are so beautiful.”
You could hear his smile as he replied.
“Hmmmm. Well. Good morning to you too, James. And thank you.”
Bucky smiled at his bedroom wall, reclining on his unmade bed, not caring that he would be late for work. But he was the boss, so it didn’t really matter. He wanted to hear that moan-hum thing you did again, so he repeated himself.
“Ești foarte frumoasă.” 
You were shook. When Bucky spoke in Romanian, his voice lowered an octave or two. It left you squirming.
You stifled another moan and Bucky shifted, his towel moving again.
This phone call was getting dangerous. 
“James
”
His heart beat double time when you said his name, as if you were asking for so much more than just his attention. One word from you and he would would make you see stars over the phone.
Damn, he was hard as a rock.
“Yes?”
The way his voice broke over that one little word left you speechless, trying to make a wise choice of words. Now was not the time for phone sex, no matter how much you wanted his voice to talk you through it. This man had you caught up, but you were trying to chill.
“See you in a few days.”
Bucky smiled again. You were constantly changing the game, a Queen to his Knight. But he was determined to capture you.
“See you in a few days frumoasă. I can’t wait. Have a great day.”
—
After that, you two stayed away from phone calls, subsisting on texts and anticipation for the next four days. 
But you couldn’t get away from thoughts of Bucky, especially since Nat showed up at your favorite coffee shop that morning. She claimed that she lived nearby while hinting that Bucky liked you a lot. You just smiled and tried to be enigmatic, not the blushing schoolgirl that you felt inside.
Hungry for more pictures of you, Bucky followed you on Instagram. You didn’t habitually reveal a lot of skin, but what he could see of you made him want more. 
You noticed his follow, (accompanied by several gossip rags) and took note as you blocked them and made your page private. James Barnes gave no fucks who knew about you. You smiled all day long at that knowledge.
On Wednesday, he noticed that you posted girl’s night out, apparently to celebrate your friend Sydney’s engagement.
You looked good, skin glowing, body giving, and those brown leather pants making him dizzy just by staring at them through a screen. He knew he’d be feral if he saw them in person.
Bucky fantasized all evening about you coming home to him that night.
Tumblr media
When Bucky liked the post your heart rate increased and you felt like you were in a race.
“I’m winning!” 
You whooped it up with your friends and ordered another bottle. That’s when you saw Sam out of the corner of your eye. You invited him over for drinks, much to the delight of your friends.
Your drunk text to Bucky when you got home and the following exchange had him grinning as he went to sleep that night. Friday evening would be interesting indeed.
You woke up Thursday morning, wondering why you had a picture of a shirtless Bucky Barnes as the lock screen on your phone.
Your eyes almost fell out of your head as you opened your messages and saw this exchange:
Hey James. I want to fuck your voice. Especially when you speak Romanian. đŸ« 
But I can’t fuck until date number 3 sooooo
*Voice memo from James
*Voice memo to James
Image sent from James
Thank you Daddy. 💋
You are welcome, Frumoasă. 😏
You threw your phone.
You called him Daddy????
And you told him about the three date rule.
You were out of control.
You immediately sent him another message.
Good Morning, James. I apologize for last night. Please, burn your phone and destroy all messages from me. Have a nice life. đŸ«Ł
Good morning, Frumoasă. Last night was harmless fun. 😉 Have a wonderful day. See you tomorrow evening.
You grinned because although you were embarrassed, he was right. And also because he was a chaotic, but harmless gentleman. He just gave you what you asked for and didn’t take advantage of the situation. And his left arm tattoo sleeve was sexy as fuck.
What a man.
——-
When Steve and Sam caught him staring your picture during an auction that morning, Bucky just grinned as his best friends razzed him. He realized that you were worth it as he serenely endured them busting his balls. 
Later that day Sydney sent you some very interesting articles about Bucky Barnes and his business and called to check up on you. Your heart sank as you assured her that you were okay and thanked her for being a friend.
There was a different vibe for you now; James Barnes might not be the perfect guy. But you tried not to overreact.
Everything that was posted online wasn’t necessarily true.
You decided to exercise to clear your head, but lo and behold, when you looked to your left at SoulCycle, there was Steve Rogers, Bucky’s best friend. You managed to dodge a conversation by rushing off to work.
You were looking forward to your date, because James Barnes had a lot of explaining to do.
—----
When Bucky picked you up on Friday, you opened the door and quickly retreated to get your coat and purse as soon as he entered.
“Hello James,” you said from across your living room. 
Buck couldn’t put his finger on what shifted, but something had. He raised his eyebrow at you as you stood out of his reach and he felt the chill in the air.
“Hello, Frumoasă.”
He didn’t hide his admiration at your dress as he bit his bottom lip, positive that he could probably just flip up the hem and slip his
 Bucky forced his eyes back to yours.
Damn, he looked good in the brown suit and black crew neck shirt. His eyes were everything on those colors. You noticed him checking you out and you looked down at your mustard dress.
“I hope this is okay. I wore this to work. Got out a little later than I expected. Billie, my assistant, and I were setting up for the opening tomorrow.”
Bucky smiled.
“You look amazing. And I can’t wait to see the exhibit.”
You cleared your throat. 
“About that. Are you sure you want to come?”
Bucky narrowed his eyes at you.
“...Yes. We agreed when I conceded to your price on Monday. What’s going on?”
“Oh, nothing, we’ll talk about it later. Are you ready to go?”
Bucky let you have whatever space you were needing at the moment.
“Lead the way.”
You chose the venue of this second date, a Harlem Renaissance exhibit in the eponymous borough. Bucky remained the perfect gentleman, taking your hand as he helped you into the car, but keeping his distance as you rode uptown.
If it were not for his all consuming stares and the desire in his eyes, you would think he wasn’t attracted to you. But you couldn’t let your libido have you make a terrible decision. You were deep in thought the entire ride to Harlem.
—---
You were in awe of the exhibit as much Bucky was in awe of you. You caught him admiring you instead of the art more than once, but you just smiled and launched into a conversation about the pieces, discussing the merits of the exhibit.
“That’s very astute. So good. Beautiful and smart.”
Bucky’s proximity to you during your banter was not helping your resolve. His voice in your ear cooing praises was making you weak. But you had to be strong. When he took your hand again as you walked to dinner on Frederick Douglass Boulevard, the thousand butterflies which had taken residence in your stomach on Monday afternoon fluttered their wings. 
Damn. He had you down bad.
After you were seated, Bucky tried to break down the wall that you’d seemed to throw up between you.
“Alright, Frumoasă. Tell me. What is going on in that beautiful brain of yours? You’ve been in your head all night.”
You looked around, trying to avoid those perceptive blue eyes of his, and noticed that the rooftop terrace seemed to be deserted except for the two of you. You had been so caught up in your inner turmoil that you hadn’t noticed the surroundings.
“James
”
He was staring at you again, mouth open, and that tongue darting out to lick his lips.
“Yes, Frumoasă
”
“Did.. did you reserve this rooftop just for us?”
Bucky smiled and leaned back, clearly pleased with himself. He took a sip of wine before he answered.
“I may have called in a favor of the owner.”
“It’s Friday night! That is quite the feat.”
“Someone as striking as you deserves to be surrounded by beauty. Always.”
You shook your head at him.
“I’m serious James. I’m not your type. We come from two different worlds. You can have anyone you’d want. What would you want with me?”
Bucky sobered up, sensing your anxiety. He moved his chair closer to yours.
“I never make a promise that I can’t keep. And I don’t string women along. I try to make sure that everyone knows what it is with every encounter. Most women know that what happens is a one time thing.”
He stared at you with the ocean depths that were his eyes.
“And I hope you understand that you are not most women. Remember what I said Monday night?”
You nodded, remembering the rush of feelings and wild thoughts. 
“That was the first of many dates. I haven’t been on a second date in
 I honestly don’t know how long.”
You digested what he was saying, really wanting to like him, and more. But you had to clear the elephant from the room.
“Speaking of honesty. What do you really do for a living, James?”
Bucky looked at you strangely.
“What do you mean? I-”
“James. You have one chance to tell me the truth.”
Bucky digested the look on your face; he knew you were serious.
“It seems that you have read some things. Or someone has said something to you.”
You shrugged and said, “Both.”
You were anxious and relieved that he didn’t insist on the lie.
“Okay. Then.”
He sighed and looked at you carefully with those eyes, giving you a minute. After he told you the truth, there would be no going back.
“I’ll give you the cliff notes version: 
When we moved to America when I was 10, my dad Jimmy fell into the family business, which was crime. He always expected me to take it over, training me from a young kid. Steve and I grew up together. Nat and Sam came along later. I dove in deep as soon as I was old enough and brought them with me, thinking that's what I wanted."
Bucky shook his head at his own miscalculation.
"It took five years to realize that it was no way to live. When my father died seven years ago, I could finally see a way out. I started the art business because it really is what I love, and I can divest myself of any connection to illegality be completely legitimate in a little over three more years.”
You sat back and crossed your arms. His explanation was too neat and tidy.
“You have a timeline to be done with crime?”
“I know it’s hard to believe, but yes. I had a ten year and a five year plan. I’m working the plan with the help of my friends. And I’m doing it for them as much as for me. And if I'm thinking about a future with someone...."
Bucky reached over and took your hand as he stared at you.
"I'd be doing it for my own family as well."
You wanted to melt, but remained strong, pulling your hand from his.
“So you’re saying you aren’t a dangerous man? That I won’t be putting my reputation, my employment, and my life on the line by dating you?”
Bucky sat back as you posed your questions. He had never had to consider them before. He had never ‘dated’ anyone before. He just got what he wanted and they were safe because he never saw them again.
But now that what he wanted was you, and for far more than a one night stand, he was terrified.
“Y/N. I told you. I won’t lie to you. Yes. I am still a dangerous man. And yes, being associated with me can be dangerous. But I want you, Frumoasă. And I will stop at nothing to protect you."
You saw the ferocity of his emotions and you thought of all of them these past few days.
“Nat, Sam, and Steve. Those weren’t coincidences. Were they?”
Bucky gave you a wry smile and dropped his gaze. His voice got soft, as if he were chastened.
“No. They weren’t coincidences.”
Suddenly, you felt stifled, that there was no air avaiable. Even though you were outside.
“I- I need to think. I want to go home.”
“Come. I’ll take you.”
You rose and stepped away from Bucky.
“No. I need some space. I‘ll call a rideshare
”
“Nonsense. Nico is outside. He will take you. I can call Steve to pick me up.”
You looked up into Bucky's sad eyes.
“O-Okay.”
You fought the urge to bury yourself in his arms, and in a few minutes, Bucky put you in the car and you were rolling toward Brooklyn before you realized it.
——-
It wasn’t until you were in your tank top and sweats on your couch having made your head hurt with all of the thoughts for an hour, when you realized you never ate dinner and were starving.
You sighed and picked up your phone.
In just about another hour, your favorite takeout was on its way, comfort for a tumultuous evening. When you answered your door, your stomach flipped at the delivery person clad in white t-shirt, grey sweats, and a backwards ball cap.
You smiled at Bucky.
He grinned back.
“So. Is this date number three, orrrrr?
”
You rolled your eyes at him.
“You can drop the food off in my kitchen. This way, James.”
You glanced at him over your shoulder, the heat in your gaze unmistakable.
Bucky smiled and thanked the heavens as he followed the sway of your hips into your home.

------
The party was elegant as hell, the kind of event where art changed hands over $30,000 bottles of wine and million-dollar glances.
Jazz curled through the air amid the sounds of laughter, clinking glassware, and whispered secrets.
Security was present, but invisible. Steve and Bucky had seen to it.
You and your cousin were due a night out after all that happened, but there would be no risk of danger for you two, at least not the physical kind.
You were watching your cousin be wooed by Bucky, who already had his ring on her finger, but was whispering Romanian in her ear like he’d just fallen in love. You knew that he was going to get what he wanted when she and Bucky left the function early.
She deserved. 
You were low key bored, but you were dressed for excitement and intrigue.
Your gown was decadent. It was made of rich, heavy fabric that glimmered in the light with a back that dipped scandalously low.
The skirt revealed a slit that dared anyone to look, and most did. The neckline framed your collarbones like art, but it was your legs and ass that made the room lose its mind. 
Those body parts once earned you money under neon lights and mirrored ceilings; your thigh spins damn near caused heart attacks back at Regine.
Hell, Steve even built you a studio in the penthouse so he could get private lap dances you could continue to practice your craft.
You were unapologetically lethal in the dress and heels, and your confidence was all you. Steve had zipped the dress for you that evening. And when he did, his fingers ghosted down your spine. 
“You’re gonna kill me in this, Peach.”
His deep voice was even deeper when he whispered that to you, but you two still managed to make it out of the penthouse.
From the moment you arrived at the event, Steve hadn’t taken his eyes off you.
His drink was untouched.
His jaw was tight.
And every time you laughed, his fingers twitched around the crystal.
It wasn’t jealousy.
It was worship.
Hunger, just barely contained by discipline.
He was well aware that both men and women sometimes forgot themselves around you. 
Steve said it was because of your beauty, but you insisted it was your confidence. 
And your crazy. You never tried to steal the spotlight; it just happened that you were the spotlight.
It was why he fell in love with you at first sight at that strip club in Atlanta. He just had to get your attention. And he’d been successful. 
Steve loved your wild side. But that didn’t mean he liked seeing other people get ideas. 
Especially men like Ari Levinson.
Steve saw the moment Levinson spotted you. Recognized the exact second the art collector clocked your legs, your ass, your presence, your smile.
Steve had seen that look before, on men who wanted to buy what they couldn’t afford.
You felt Steve’s stare before you saw it, a promise and a threat, all wrapped in one look.
And it occurred precisely when Ari Levinson appeared.
-----
Ari had never walked into a room and lost track of every million-dollar painting on the walls just because of a woman.
But then he saw you, absolutely stunning and unimpressed by your surroundings.
Just like a great work of art.
Ari licked his lips slowly, taking you in like a man who had acquired beauty for a living and just found something rare. He didn't know who you were, but he knew he had to find out.
Your legs deserved a warning sign. That ass was perfection. And your mouth... it looked like it screamed prayers into satin sheets effective enough to make the most notorious sinner ascend to heaven.
Ari's cock twitched when you turned your head and caught him staring.
You knew exactly what he was thinking.
He adjusted the cuff of his jacket, let himself drift toward you like a man casually approaching something he didn’t already have plans to devour.
Ari wanted you. Bad. And he didn’t give a damn that you wore a ring. Or whose ring you wore.
Lots of people wore rings, but not everyone wore them well.
He guessed that whoever gave you that ring was probably under your spell.
Ari could give a damn who it was.
-----
Steve wasn’t the kind of man who made scenes anymore.
That part of his life, the rough edges, the quiet threats, the kind of acts that made people disappear, was behind him.
These days, he wore custom suits, drank old wine, and spoke in carefully measured words. His world was oil on canvas, not blood on pavement.
But some instincts didn’t die.
Steve watched Ari make his move toward you and bided his time, not wanting to make too much of a scene too soon. He was the former gangster, but you were dangerous in your own way.
Memories of your threat to shoot his balls off made Steve smile and watch the show.
—-----
“You’re not part of the installation, are you?”
It was an opening line that usually always worked, especially in Ari’s voice, the kind that usually had people ready to fall to their knees for him. 
But you weren’t just anyone. You were Steve Rogers' wife.
Levinson looked at you like you were a masterpiece that had just caught him off-guard. And he had no idea that the vitamin D that Steve prescribed every day gave you immunity to him.
“...Because I swear, you look like the centerpiece of the whole night.”
You sipped your champagne and smiled, slightly amused at his line. But mostly annoyed. You played along.
“And what kind of art would I be, Mr. Levinson?”
“The kind that gets stolen,” he said, his voice dipping, “and starts wars.”
He stepped closer. You didn’t move back. You didn’t need to.
“You used to dance,” he added, more sure now. “Didn’t you?”
You tilted your head, wondering if he were trying to take liberties because of the kind of dance you used to do.
“I did.”
Ari grinned, eyes flicking to your legs.
“Yeah. I figured. You don’t get a body like that unless you earn it.”
He let the compliment hang.
You offered a polite smile, but your gaze wandered, looking for your husband. You could feel him, Steve’s attention slicing through the room like a live wire.
“I take my craft seriously,” you said. “Always have.”
“Oh, sweetheart,” Ari chuckled, gaze dragging down to your thigh, where the slit was working it's magic.
“You’re doing more than that. You should be up on a pedestal.”
Your laugh was soft. But Ari Levinson was definitely not subtle. You lifted a brow.
“You do that with all the art you want? Put it up high where you can’t reach it?”
Ari’s eyes darkened. 
“Only the pieces I know I shouldn’t touch.”
And that’s when the air shifted.
You didn’t see Steve move, but you felt it.
—---
For a brief moment, that old part of Steve Rogers, the one that used to snap fingers and have a guy thrown into the East River, woke up.
And while Steve didn’t make scenes anymore, he still kept track. Of tone. Of body language. Of intention.
Ari’s intention was obvious. His gaze crawled down your legs like a goddamn snake. Then he had the nerve to step closer and say something about pedestals.
Goddamn pedestals.
Steve downed the rest of his drink in one go and set the glass down with care.
Ari was lucky Steve wasn’t twenty-five and stupid, or there’d be a broken jaw on the floor and some very uncomfortable rich people pretending not to stare.
Instead, Steve moved.
—---
And that was when Ari felt it.
The shift. Like the air dropped ten degrees.
He didn’t even have to turn to know who it was. Steve Rogers. The human embodiment of quiet violence in a designer suit.
Ari didn’t flinch. But inside, he grinned.
Because Steve’s jealousy wasn’t weakness; it was confirmation.
You weren’t just sexy. You belonged to Rogers.
And that made this so much more interesting.
-----
By the time you turned your head, Steve was nearly on you, eyes locked on Ari like he was deciding whether or not he was worth the trouble.
And god, Steve looked like he wanted to ruin something.
Maybe the dress.
Maybe Ari.
Maybe both.
Your body reacted before your brain had time to catch up.
You were soaking wet.
Ari followed your gaze and let out a low chuckle.
“Oh I see. Now comes the fun part. You're Rogers' new wife.”
“Mmhmm,” you hummed, smiling as you twirled the rock on your left hand around your finger.
“And he’s probably two seconds from throwing me off the balcony.”
You smiled.
“Mmhmm,” you hummed again, laughing quietly.
Ari raised a brow at you, full of heat.
“Can’t blame him. I’d lose my mind too.”
—------
Steve didn’t speak at first. His eyes burned into Levinson, assessing him and making a decision.
Then he was beside you, a hand slipping to the small of your back, his thumb brushing your skin with the kind of quiet, controlled touch that made your stomach flip.
You leaned into him without hesitation, breath catching at the contact, and ruining him.
“Levinson,” Steve said coolly, like he was trying very hard to be civil. “Didn’t expect to see you here.”
Ari smiled, knowing he’d stirred something up. 
“Wouldn’t miss it. Especially not with the kind of company you’re keeping.”
He looked at you appreciatively.
Steve’s voice dipped.  “She’s taken.”
“Of course she is, she's your wife.”
Ari said with a casual shrug.
“Didn’t mean anything by what I said.”
Steve gave a slow, tight-lipped smile, the kind that didn't quite reach his eyes. 
“No offense taken. Just thought I’d remind you. Sometimes collectors get a little carried away. Start thinking everything in a gallery is for sale. Just causes heartbreak when they find it isn't. Or a break of some other kind.”
Ari's brows lifted.
“That a threat?”
Steve leaned in slightly, voice dropping so only Ari could hear. 
“No,” he said, tone velvet-smooth, “That’s a favor. Because if it were a threat, you wouldn’t still be standing here.”
Your breath caught. Steve’s fingers flexed subtly on your hip.
Ari’s mouth twitched into something that might have been a smirk. 
“Duly noted,” he muttered, and with a stiff nod, he turned and walked away.
Steve watched him go, his jaw clenched. You laid a hand on his chest, feeling his heart beating steady and strong.
“You alright?” you asked softly.
He turned to you, some of the fire in his eyes still flickering.
“I’m fine,” he said, brushing a thumb along your cheek. 
“He won’t try that shit again.”
You raised an eyebrow. That made Steve even harder than he already was.
“You didn’t have to scare him.”
Steve’s lips twitched into a crooked grin. 
“But I wanted to. Better than the alternative."
Then, quieter, against your ear:
“You’re mine, Peach. I’ve killed for less than the way he looked at you, nevermind what he said.”
Your eyes widened as he smiled at you dangerously.
“Don’t worry about him Peach. I’m not going back there.”
You searched your husband’s beautiful blazing blue eyes.
“But do you think Ari Levinson was the only one watching you tonight? I’ve counted six men, and three women, who looked at you like a goddamn invitation.”
Your breath caught.
“And every one of them,” he continued, his fingers tightening slightly, “will go home and dream about something they’ll never have. But I’m about to have you, right under their noses. They will hear you some apart for me, even if they don’t quite know what they are listening to.”
Steve read your face, leaned in close, and whispered low against your ear.
“Come with me. Now.”
—--
Steve pulled you onto the balcony. He was controlled, but burning at the edges. The city glittered behind him, but his world had narrowed down to you. 
He didn’t look at the skyline. He looked at your mouth.
Your body.
Your eyes.
Like a starving man deciding which part of the feast to devour first.
His control was a tight thread, stretched thin, and you could feel it in the way his eyes burned into you like he needed to prove something.
Not to Levinson. But to himself. 
To you.
To prove that no one could look at you the way Ari did. That you were his. His alone. 
“You’re so fucking beautiful,” he whispered against your ear, his breath hot and rough.
Your stomach fluttered. The look in his eyes wasn’t just hunger, it was laced through it was the kind of darkness you’d only seen when someone threatened what was his. 
Like in Atlanta.
“You feel that, Peach?” he murmured, voice thick with hunger. 
You thought he meant his hard cock pressed against you. But he didn’t.
“The air. The view. The way I’m about five seconds from fucking you stupid against this wall?”
Your breath hitched. Your body leaned into his instinctively, the cool stone of the wall behind you, and heat radiating from the wall of muscle in front of you making a heady contraction.
He didn’t wait for permission. One hand gripped your jaw, tilting your face toward him roughly while the other slid beneath the high slit of your dress, calloused fingertips ghosting along your inner thigh until they met your soaked lace.
“God damn, sweetheart,” he growled, nostrils flaring. 
“You’re already soaked. Is this for me, or Levinson?
Your eyes flashed at him.
"Steven..."
Steve laughed, confident of your devotion.
"I'm kidding, Peach. You get off on me being weak for you, don’t you? On being mine?”
“Yes,” you whispered, shameless about it.
“Say it again,” he demanded, slipping your panties aside and dragging a single thick finger through your slick folds.
“Oh, fuck," you choked. "I’m yours. Only yours.”
Steve Rogers didn’t ease into anything, from chasing you, to marriage. He jumped right into the deep end of you.
One powerful motion and your legs were around his waist, back pressed to the wall, his hips grinding against your core.
“You want everyone to hear it?” he asked, cock sliding against your slick pussy, his thick mushroom head catching on your clit and teasing you until your toes curled.
“I want you,” you gasped, voice breaking. 
“Show them. Show me.”
Steve swiveled his hips, and then he was inside you.
Not gently. Not sweetly. But deeply, completely, fucking you like his sanity depended on it.
Every thrust was brutal affection, devotion turned into rhythm. 
The sound of your bodies slapping together echoed off stone and glass. His lips were at your throat, teeth scraping skin, leaving marks that would be unmistakeable to anyone who saw them. Neither of you cared.
He gripped your thigh, his thumb circling your clit and devastating you.
“You were made for this,” he growled. “Made to take me. Look how perfect you are when you’re full of me. Dripping for me. Squeezing the shit out of me.”
Steve pumped and the sounds were obscene as his cock sleeked in and out of your sopping wet channel. Your wetness dripped down your thighs and his balls and you didn't care as long as he kept hitting that special spot.
You couldn’t speak. You could only moan, clinging to his broad shoulders while he shattered every ounce of restraint you had left.
“You wanna cum?” he whispered against your lips.
“God, yes
please
.Steve....”
He slowed, grinding into you deep, keeping you on the edge while you whimpered. Begged.
“Right here at the party like this? With me buried inside you, showing everyone who the fuck you belong to?”
“Yes, please
.I can’t
. I need
.”
“Then do it, baby. Let go. Cum for me.”
You shattered on command. 
Lights danced behind your eyes as your orgasm ripped through you, his name a chant falling from your lips. He followed with a moan, hips jerking as his hot cum spilled into you, claiming you all over again.
And when it was over, when your bodies were still pressed together, trembling from the aftershocks, he kissed your forehead with a tenderness that ruined you as your combined fluids ran down your legs.
RIP to his pocket square, because that’s what he used to kneel and clean you up. 
You felt owned, treasured, and marked.
And safe. Always safe.
“You did so good for me, Baby.” 
Steve stood back up and murmured it against your lips tenderly, disposing the expensive, ruined piece of fabric in the nearest receptacle.
“So fucking good. You’re everything, Peach,” he whispered.
“And I want the whole fucking world to know.”
Your legs wobbled, your pulse was wild, but his hands were right there again, steadying you like nothing had happened.
Like he hadn’t just fucked you against the wall with the city’s elite in the next room.
He leaned in, lips ghosting over your ear as he whispered, “You good, Peach?”
Your cheeks flushed.
“I don’t think I remember how to walk.”
Steve chuckled smugly and kissed the top of your head. 
“You don’t have to. I’ll carry you if I have to.”
You rolled your eyes, but he was already taking your hand, tugging you toward the door with that cool, collected gait he wore so well.
“Show off.”
He smiled angelically as his other hand slipped easily into his pocket. Steve Rogers looked to be the epitome of cool as he held the door for you, letting you step in first.
Murmured conversation resumed around you along with laughter and the clink of crystal. It was as if nothing had happened out there.
You were breathless. Floating. Smiling. And yes, proud.
But you froze when you saw Nico standing just a few feet from the balcony entrance, half-tucked in the shadow of a tall plant, arms loosely crossed. His posture was relaxed, his gaze scanning the room, alert and cool as ever. But you knew that he’d been there.
The whole time, standing watch while you and Steve had done the deed on the balcony.
Your mouth went dry.
Steve must’ve felt your body tense, because he leaned in, his lips brushing your ear.
“Breathe, sweetheart,” he murmured.
“He didn’t see anything. He was just doing his job.”
You looked back at Nico again, half-expecting judgment or amusement, but he didn’t even meet your eyes. His face was impassive. Professional. Not a flicker of reaction.
Still, your cheeks burned.
------
Ari's head was on a swivel ever since he watched you and Steve disappear out to the balcony. And he knew, he fucking knew what was happening.
He had to hand it to Rogers, he knew how to handle you. And how to brag without saying a word. Lucky sonofabitch.
When you came back into the party, your skin was flushed and you walked a gait that hadn’t wasn't present before. Your glow wasn’t just expensive highlighter, it was the kind of post-fuck radiance that could’ve lit up half the damn city.
Ari caught your eye and smirked. His gaze dragged slowly down your frame before flicking toward Steve. 
He raised his glass, an amused smile playing at his lips.
“Everything alright out there?”
Steve didn’t blink.
“Peach needed some air.”
Ari’s gaze lingered, and you saw Steve’s jaw tense just a fraction. His fingers brushed your lower back, subtle, but firm.
Mine.
You felt the wetness still between your thighs, the slight ache in your hips, and the delicious throb of where his mouth had left proof of his devotion on your neck.
You reached for a champagne flute from a passing tray.
“You’re glowing, Mrs. Rogers,” Ari said with a knowing smirk. 
“I hope you weren’t out there dancing without music.”
Before you could answer, Steve’s hand slid from your back to your hip, resting there with deliberate weight. 
“She doesn’t need music to dance.”
Ari’s brows lifted and his eyes flicked to your legs and lingered. 
You felt Steve stiffen slightly, and you slid closer, letting your hand settle on his chest in a silent reassurance. He relaxed a little under your touch, but his possessiveness was still there.
Ari took another sip of his wine and turned away, disappearing into a knot of collectors and critics.
The conversation shifted, the moment passed, but the electricity between you and Steve didn’t.
He leaned in, his lips brushing your temple. 
“You’re mine, Peach. Every single inch of you.”
“I know,” you whispered, eyes fluttering closed. “And I love it.”
“I want them all to know it.”
You tilted your head back, eyes gleaming. 
“Then maybe you should dance with me.”
Steve raised a brow. 
“Out here, or back on that balcony?”
You smirked. “Both.”
His laugh was loud.
“Goddamn, I love being married to you.”
He offered you his hand again this time not to steal you away to the dark again, but to show you off under the lights.
And as he led you onto the dance floor, every guest including Ari Levinson, was left wondering what the hell kind of magic it was between you and Steve Rogers.

———-
Bucky woke with his lips tingling for want of you.
After your first date, sleep had been elusive. His thoughts of you led to a physical condition that he was used to taking care of right away, one way or another.
He decided that only you could solve his problem.
You had him as hard as a rock and Bucky knew that your soft curves were both the culprit and the cure
In his dreams, he had been eating you out, the smell in his nostrils a mix the your natural scent and perfume on your wrist as he went down on you. He couldn’t actually taste you, but he just knew that you were delicious.  
Knowing that he would be distracted all day, Bucky tried other means to work out his frustration. He got up, worked out, and concentrated on not being a simp. 
Unsuccessful.
At the stroke of 8 am Bucky sent you a good morning text and inquiring about your sleep. He hoped that your dreams were as full of him as his were of you.
Bucky chuckled as he pressed send. Good morning texts were not in his repertoire, quite the opposite. He was a pro in dodging follow up texts from his conquests.
After 10 minutes, he put his phone down, because he realized he was staring at it waiting for your response. In the shower, the stream of cold water was meant to calm the lava in his veins at the thought of you still asleep in bed. He needed to stop thinking of waking you up with his head between your legs because then his erection would never go down.
Back in his bedroom, Bucky saw that you had responded. His heart was in his throat at just the notification of not just a text, but an image sent on his screen. He had to sit down.
I had sweet dreams.
Image sent from Y/N
The image was a pic of you in your bed, hair tied back and no makeup. The morning sunlight on your skin was everything and the soft smile on your face looked so kissable.
It appeared that you were wearing a tank top. He could see your neck and the tiniest bit of cleavage, but it was enough to have him raging hard again. 
The highly rational urge to mark you up as a punishment for torturing him came to him like a bolt of lightning.
God, the thought of punishing, maybe edging you all day, or better yet, having you beg him to stop making you cum as he overstimulated you sent his hand to his dick under the towel, but his other hand was reaching for your contact. 
He groaned when he realized what he was doing. One hand had to stop. He wasn’t going to do this.
Bucky unhanded himself and sighed as your phone rang, then his stomach dropped as he realized you probably wouldn’t pick up. 
“Hullo? James?”
Your morning voice. The fantasy of how to wake you up took hold again.
“G-,” Bucky cleared his throat, but it didn’t help much.
“Good morning Frumoasă.”
Damn, his voice. Yeah. You had a voice kink. You felt the urge to ask for a picture of him.
And you knew where that would lead.
The rest of your day depended upon not revealing how much of a slut you were for him already, so you decided to crack a joke.
“Fumosa? What does that mean? You calling me fugly or something?”
Bucky laughed, and the sexual tension was broken. You were so fucking charming. He was definitely feeling you.
Bucky wanted to do so much more than to just be physical with you; he wanted to just be with you.
“Far from it, Y/N. Frumoasă means beautiful in Romanian. Ești foarte frumoasă. You are so beautiful.”
You could hear his smile as he replied.
“Hmmmm. Well. Good morning to you too, James. And thank you.”
Bucky smiled at his bedroom wall, reclining on his unmade bed, not caring that he would be late for work. But he was the boss, so it didn’t really matter. He wanted to hear that moan-hum thing you did again, so he repeated himself.
“Ești foarte frumoasă.” 
You were shook. When Bucky spoke in Romanian, his voice lowered an octave or two. It left you squirming.
You stifled another moan and Bucky shifted, his towel moving again.
This phone call was getting dangerous. 
“James
”
His heart beat double time when you said his name, as if you were asking for so much more than just his attention. One word from you and he would would make you see stars over the phone.
Damn, he was hard as a rock.
“Yes?”
The way his voice broke over that one little word left you speechless, trying to make a wise choice of words. Now was not the time for phone sex, no matter how much you wanted his voice to talk you through it. This man had you caught up, but you were trying to chill.
“See you in a few days.”
Bucky smiled again. You were constantly changing the game, a Queen to his Knight. But he was determined to capture you.
“See you in a few days frumoasă. I can’t wait. Have a great day.”
—
After that, you two stayed away from phone calls, subsisting on texts and anticipation for the next four days. 
But you couldn’t get away from thoughts of Bucky, especially since Nat showed up at your favorite coffee shop that morning. She claimed that she lived nearby while hinting that Bucky liked you a lot. You just smiled and tried to be enigmatic, not the blushing schoolgirl that you felt inside.
Hungry for more pictures of you, Bucky followed you on Instagram. You didn’t habitually reveal a lot of skin, but what he could see of you made him want more. 
You noticed his follow, (accompanied by several gossip rags) and took note as you blocked them and made your page private. James Barnes gave no fucks who knew about you. You smiled all day long at that knowledge.
On Wednesday, he noticed that you posted girl’s night out, apparently to celebrate your friend Sydney’s engagement.
You looked good, skin glowing, body giving, and those brown leather pants making him dizzy just by staring at them through a screen. He knew he’d be feral if he saw them in person.
Bucky fantasized all evening about you coming home to him that night.
Tumblr media
When Bucky liked the post your heart rate increased and you felt like you were in a race.
“I’m winning!” 
You whooped it up with your friends and ordered another bottle. That’s when you saw Sam out of the corner of your eye. You invited him over for drinks, much to the delight of your friends.
Your drunk text to Bucky when you got home and the following exchange had him grinning as he went to sleep that night. Friday evening would be interesting indeed.
You woke up Thursday morning, wondering why you had a picture of a shirtless Bucky Barnes as the lock screen on your phone.
Your eyes almost fell out of your head as you opened your messages and saw this exchange:
Hey James. I want to fuck your voice. Especially when you speak Romanian. đŸ« 
But I can’t fuck until date number 3 sooooo
*Voice memo from James
*Voice memo to James
Image sent from James
Thank you Daddy. 💋
You are welcome, Frumoasă. 😏
You threw your phone.
You called him Daddy????
And you told him about the three date rule.
You were out of control.
You immediately sent him another message.
Good Morning, James. I apologize for last night. Please, burn your phone and destroy all messages from me. Have a nice life. đŸ«Ł
Good morning, Frumoasă. Last night was harmless fun. 😉 Have a wonderful day. See you tomorrow evening.
You grinned because although you were embarrassed, he was right. And also because he was a chaotic, but harmless gentleman. He just gave you what you asked for and didn’t take advantage of the situation. And his left arm tattoo sleeve was sexy as fuck.
What a man.
——-
When Steve and Sam caught him staring your picture during an auction that morning, Bucky just grinned as his best friends razzed him. He realized that you were worth it as he serenely endured them busting his balls. 
Later that day Sydney sent you some very interesting articles about Bucky Barnes and his business and called to check up on you. Your heart sank as you assured her that you were okay and thanked her for being a friend.
There was a different vibe for you now; James Barnes might not be the perfect guy. But you tried not to overreact.
Everything that was posted online wasn’t necessarily true.
You decided to exercise to clear your head, but lo and behold, when you looked to your left at SoulCycle, there was Steve Rogers, Bucky’s best friend. You managed to dodge a conversation by rushing off to work.
You were looking forward to your date, because James Barnes had a lot of explaining to do.
—----
When Bucky picked you up on Friday, you opened the door and quickly retreated to get your coat and purse as soon as he entered.
“Hello James,” you said from across your living room. 
Buck couldn’t put his finger on what shifted, but something had. He raised his eyebrow at you as you stood out of his reach and he felt the chill in the air.
“Hello, Frumoasă.”
He didn’t hide his admiration at your dress as he bit his bottom lip, positive that he could probably just flip up the hem and slip his
 Bucky forced his eyes back to yours.
Damn, he looked good in the brown suit and black crew neck shirt. His eyes were everything on those colors. You noticed him checking you out and you looked down at your mustard dress.
“I hope this is okay. I wore this to work. Got out a little later than I expected. Billie, my assistant, and I were setting up for the opening tomorrow.”
Bucky smiled.
“You look amazing. And I can’t wait to see the exhibit.”
You cleared your throat. 
“About that. Are you sure you want to come?”
Bucky narrowed his eyes at you.
“...Yes. We agreed when I conceded to your price on Monday. What’s going on?”
“Oh, nothing, we’ll talk about it later. Are you ready to go?”
Bucky let you have whatever space you were needing at the moment.
“Lead the way.”
You chose the venue of this second date, a Harlem Renaissance exhibit in the eponymous borough. Bucky remained the perfect gentleman, taking your hand as he helped you into the car, but keeping his distance as you rode uptown.
If it were not for his all consuming stares and the desire in his eyes, you would think he wasn’t attracted to you. But you couldn’t let your libido have you make a terrible decision. You were deep in thought the entire ride to Harlem.
—---
You were in awe of the exhibit as much Bucky was in awe of you. You caught him admiring you instead of the art more than once, but you just smiled and launched into a conversation about the pieces, discussing the merits of the exhibit.
“That’s very astute. So good. Beautiful and smart.”
Bucky’s proximity to you during your banter was not helping your resolve. His voice in your ear cooing praises was making you weak. But you had to be strong. When he took your hand again as you walked to dinner on Frederick Douglass Boulevard, the thousand butterflies which had taken residence in your stomach on Monday afternoon fluttered their wings. 
Damn. He had you down bad.
After you were seated, Bucky tried to break down the wall that you’d seemed to throw up between you.
“Alright, Frumoasă. Tell me. What is going on in that beautiful brain of yours? You’ve been in your head all night.”
You looked around, trying to avoid those perceptive blue eyes of his, and noticed that the rooftop terrace seemed to be deserted except for the two of you. You had been so caught up in your inner turmoil that you hadn’t noticed the surroundings.
“James
”
He was staring at you again, mouth open, and that tongue darting out to lick his lips.
“Yes, Frumoasă
”
“Did.. did you reserve this rooftop just for us?”
Bucky smiled and leaned back, clearly pleased with himself. He took a sip of wine before he answered.
“I may have called in a favor of the owner.”
“It’s Friday night! That is quite the feat.”
“Someone as striking as you deserves to be surrounded by beauty. Always.”
You shook your head at him.
“I’m serious James. I’m not your type. We come from two different worlds. You can have anyone you’d want. What would you want with me?”
Bucky sobered up, sensing your anxiety. He moved his chair closer to yours.
“I never make a promise that I can’t keep. And I don’t string women along. I try to make sure that everyone knows what it is with every encounter. Most women know that what happens is a one time thing.”
He stared at you with the ocean depths that were his eyes.
“And I hope you understand that you are not most women. Remember what I said Monday night?”
You nodded, remembering the rush of feelings and wild thoughts. 
“That was the first of many dates. I haven’t been on a second date in
 I honestly don’t know how long.”
You digested what he was saying, really wanting to like him, and more. But you had to clear the elephant from the room.
“Speaking of honesty. What do you really do for a living, James?”
Bucky looked at you strangely.
“What do you mean? I-”
“James. You have one chance to tell me the truth.”
Bucky digested the look on your face; he knew you were serious.
“It seems that you have read some things. Or someone has said something to you.”
You shrugged and said, “Both.”
You were anxious and relieved that he didn’t insist on the lie.
“Okay. Then.”
He sighed and looked at you carefully with those eyes, giving you a minute. After he told you the truth, there would be no going back.
“I’ll give you the cliff notes version: 
When we moved to America when I was 10, my dad Jimmy fell into the family business, which was crime. He always expected me to take it over, training me from a young kid. Steve and I grew up together. Nat and Sam came along later. I dove in deep as soon as I was old enough and brought them with me, thinking that's what I wanted."
Bucky shook his head at his own miscalculation.
"It took five years to realize that it was no way to live. When my father died seven years ago, I could finally see a way out. I started the art business because it really is what I love, and I can divest myself of any connection to illegality be completely legitimate in a little over three more years.”
You sat back and crossed your arms. His explanation was too neat and tidy.
“You have a timeline to be done with crime?”
“I know it’s hard to believe, but yes. I had a ten year and a five year plan. I’m working the plan with the help of my friends. And I’m doing it for them as much as for me. And if I'm thinking about a future with someone...."
Bucky reached over and took your hand as he stared at you.
"I'd be doing it for my own family as well."
You wanted to melt, but remained strong, pulling your hand from his.
“So you’re saying you aren’t a dangerous man? That I won’t be putting my reputation, my employment, and my life on the line by dating you?”
Bucky sat back as you posed your questions. He had never had to consider them before. He had never ‘dated’ anyone before. He just got what he wanted and they were safe because he never saw them again.
But now that what he wanted was you, and for far more than a one night stand, he was terrified.
“Y/N. I told you. I won’t lie to you. Yes. I am still a dangerous man. And yes, being associated with me can be dangerous. But I want you, Frumoasă. And I will stop at nothing to protect you."
You saw the ferocity of his emotions and you thought of all of them these past few days.
“Nat, Sam, and Steve. Those weren’t coincidences. Were they?”
Bucky gave you a wry smile and dropped his gaze. His voice got soft, as if he were chastened.
“No. They weren’t coincidences.”
Suddenly, you felt stifled, that there was no air avaiable. Even though you were outside.
“I- I need to think. I want to go home.”
“Come. I’ll take you.”
You rose and stepped away from Bucky.
“No. I need some space. I‘ll call a rideshare
”
“Nonsense. Nico is outside. He will take you. I can call Steve to pick me up.”
You looked up into Bucky's sad eyes.
“O-Okay.”
You fought the urge to bury yourself in his arms, and in a few minutes, Bucky put you in the car and you were rolling toward Brooklyn before you realized it.
——-
It wasn’t until you were in your tank top and sweats on your couch having made your head hurt with all of the thoughts for an hour, when you realized you never ate dinner and were starving.
You sighed and picked up your phone.
In just about another hour, your favorite takeout was on its way, comfort for a tumultuous evening. When you answered your door, your stomach flipped at the delivery person clad in white t-shirt, grey sweats, and a backwards ball cap.
You smiled at Bucky.
He grinned back.
“So. Is this date number three, orrrrr?
”
You rolled your eyes at him.
“You can drop the food off in my kitchen. This way, James.”
You glanced at him over your shoulder, the heat in your gaze unmistakable.
Bucky smiled and thanked the heavens as he followed the sway of your hips into your home.
