Would you do comfort shower sex with re2 leon omg I'll give you my soul pleaseđđ»
letâs pretend the whole aeon romance didnât happen during raccoon cityđ also fuckkk i LOVED writing this
warnings; smut obvi, p in v, unprotected sex, cursing, subby leon, kind of angsty and kind of fluffy too, handjob, implied cunnilingus at the end
leon hadnât been the same since raccoon city.
you were both gonna move there once leon got his new job as a cop, but he went a day earlier than you for his first day, and you needed more time to pack.
thank god you stayed behind, but you constantly blame yourself for letting him go. he assures you itâs not your fault, how you couldnât have ever known, but it all fell on deaf ears.
its been about three months now, and he still seems pretty traumatised by the whole ordeal. youâve tried to be there for him, always letting him vent to you on the rare occasion that he needs to let his feelings out, offering him comfort in your arms.
you made sure to work two jobs to pay rent, leon wasnât ready to work anytime soon (or so you thought) and you cooked for him, cleaned up after him, and sometimes on his bad days, you had to help him shower. ïżŒ
it was no surprise that you were stressed, feeling overstimulated with everything. but you couldnât say anything, leon had it way worse, and you understood that. despite the constant dark circles under your eyes, the soreness in your muscles, you stayed strong. stayed strong for him.
but it was getting difficult to keep up with everything. it was hard to sleep because of leonâs insomnia, or when he did sleep, he had nightmares. you would comfort him through the night, try to ease him back to sleep. you would take shit from customers and bosses all day everyday, putting effort into cooking just for most of it to go to waste. but that was all okay, because it was leon. you loved him so much, that none of this other stuff mattered.
youâd probably be able to decompress by getting some release, and of course, you wouldnât push leon to do anything like that now. you were fine with going solo⊠except, you had no time to yourself really, so youâd gone practically three months without touching yourself.
but it was okay. you could deal with all of it, for leon.
youâd just finished washing the dishes, strolling back over to the dining table that leon was still sat at, staring at nothing.
your heart ached for him constantly, and you found that you had to hold back tears everytime you saw him like this. he was like a shell of the man you fell in love with.
you slowly moved closer to him, and put a gentle hand on his shoulder. he startled, blue eyes snapping up to yours as he tensed. he quickly eased once he realised whatâd happened, and mumbled an apology under his breath as he slowly turned to look down at the table.
you stroked his shoulder delicately, pinching your brows together. you stood in silence there for a minute, seeing how he seemed to just be out of it.
âhoney,â you whispered. his head barely moved in your direction to show that he was listening. âyou wanna get in the shower?â
saying nothing, he nodded slightly. he stood, but didnât make any move to the bathroom. you bit the inside of your lip, knowing that youâd have to help him. you muttered a âcmonâ to him, moving your hand to his back, leading him to the hallway slowly and into the bathroom.
you moved away from him and started the shower, keeping one hand beneath it to check the temperature, and the other was reaching to get a clean towel from the basket, and you put it on the rack.
once the water was warm enough, you turned. leon was leaning against the door, staring at you. well, more like staring through you, like he wasnât all there. youâd gotten used to that stare by now.
you take a step toward him, and reached up to cup his cheek. his eyes, that seem a lot duller lately, shift to look at you. you smiled at him sadly, your thumb rubbing his cheekbone. he reached up to hold your wrist, hardly managing to give you a weak smile back. more like a twitch of the lips.
you take your hand away, and began to unbutton his shirt. he stepped away from the door, moving his arms to help you pull it off of him. you both were used to this routine by now.
you remove his belt next, dropping it to the floor atop of his discarded shirt. you unbutton his jeans, pull down his zip, and take both the waistband of them and his boxers, pulling them down.
normally, this act would be turning you on incredibly, but itâs hard to be when heâs so distant.
you take his socks off, then stand to your height and take his hand, smiling at him again. you carefully walk him over to the shower, letting him get inside and stand beneath the water for a moment. then you undress quickly, pulling of your work shirt and plain bra, then pulling down your pants and panties.
after pulling up your hair into a half-assed bun, you climb in after him.
you reach up to run your hands through his hair as usual, to spread the water and get it wet, but he suddenly turns around and presses his forehead against your shoulder.
you try to not let the shock show on your face, even if he canât see it. your hands remain up for a second, before moving to hold him. one settles on the back of his neck, the other at the top of his spine.
you stand like that for a few minutes beneath the water, just close to each other. after a little while, you start to hear him sniffling, and something warm drip onto your shoulder, definitely not shower water.
âoh, baby..â you whisper, feeling your own tears well up in your eyes. âdonât cry, shh⊠itâs okay.â you wrap your arms around him tighter, your hand on his neck moving up to his hair.
heâs silent for a little while, just crying into your shoulder. his arms wrap around your waist, and he nuzzles his nose into your neck. you think this is the most heâs touched you in months.
âi..â he gasps, voice shaky. your heart breaks. âi just canât stop thinking about it.â
you close your eyes, trying your best not to sob. âi know, i know⊠itâs gonna be okay, honey⊠iâm here for you, iâm not going anywhere.â
he lifts his head up, glossy eyes staring at you. you take his face in your hands, smiling tearfully at him. âyou are so strong. i love you so much.â
his face twitches as more tears spill from his eyes, he takes your wrist and puts your hand to his mouth, kissing it gently. âi love you too.â
god, youâve not heard that in a long time. you pull him back into your arms, standing in a sorta hug with him.
you both stand like that for what seems like hours, him silently crying into your neck as you stroke his back, kissing his hair softly.
after a while, you feel his lips brush your neck. then he begins to kiss it delicately, pressing little kisses up to your jawline.
âleon?â you ask, moving your head back to question him, but all he does is shush you, continuing to kiss up to your cheek. he places his hands on your hips, pressing a kiss to the corner of your lips.
he brushes his lips against yours, sad eyes staring right into yours. you swallow nervously. âhoney, i donât want you to rush into anything. itâs okay, we can take it one step at aââ
he cuts you off with a gentle kiss, his plump lips pressing against yours. it doesnât last long, he pulls away after a few seconds. he moves his hands from your hips to your waist, eyes flickering between your lips and eyes. ââm ready.. ân i want you..â he whispers, desperation laced in his tone.
he leans closer again, but you shift your head back. âbaby, are you sure?â
leon lets out a quiet whine, eyes locked onto your lips as he places his forehead against yours. âmhm.â
even though you were surprised by his sudden clinginess, you couldnât deny that even the feeling of his touch and longing look in his gaze was already making your stomach churn.
ââjs need you..â he brushed his lips against yours again. âneed to forget.â
you understand. you nod at him, arms reaching up to wrap around his neck. you kiss him softly, then again, then again, and again. he pulls you closer, your soft chest smushed against his hard one, and he deepens the kiss.
you immediately allow his tongue entrance to your mouth, sighing happily against him. he whimpers quietly, hands gripping you tighter as his lips move against yours more fervently.
âbaby..â he whispers, pulling away for air. he leans down to suck at your neck, nipping and kissing.
âi know..â you murmur back, already feeling the wetness between your legs grow.
he kisses down to your chest, leaving hickeys in his wake. ââs been so longâŠâ
you nodded, eyes closing at the feeling. already, you felt as if all the stress of the past few months was melting away.
he leans back up, smashing his lips back against yours with a moan, his hands groping your tits. you shuddered, clenching around nothing already.
you pull away. he chases your mouth, but you lean down to kiss at his neck.
you suck harshly, kissing the spot afterward. you paid extra attention to the sensitive spot between his moles, his little whines making your clit throb.
âfuck..â he sighs. you look up to see his bottom lip pulled between his teeth, staring at you.
you almost cum untouched at the way his eyes are so blown.
you glance down, and actually moan out loud at the sight. heâs just as turned on as you, his cock standing at full attention, pale pink tip practically staring right at you.
you look back up at him, pressing your lips against his, tongue tangling languidly with his.
one of your hands moves from the back of his neck to his chest, gliding down. you gently take his dick into your hand. he gasps and lets out a choked moan against you at the contact.
fuck, heâs already leaking. you swipe your thumb against his slit, and he shudders. you spread the precum over his cock, running your hand up and down slowly.
he has to pull away to gasp. his head falls back against your shoulder. you smile, hand moving faster.
heâs already fucking dripping all over your hand, which isnât all that surprising, it has been three months. hell, you think you can feel your wetness on your inner thighs.
his hips are twitching already, and heâs whimpering into your neck, and.. is he drooling?
âfuck.. oh fuck, baby⊠thatâs it, thatâs..â heâs cut off by his own gasp as you speed up, and itâs so wet that you can hear the squelching over the sound of the shower.
âoh my fuhhhck⊠âm gonna cum, gonnacum gonna..â he cries, hips bucking into your grip. his whines are growing more frequent and loud.
heâs whispering something, and you listen closely, âmake me cum, make me cum⊠i need it, needitneedâŠâ
you go even faster, kissing his hair. âcum âfr me, baby..â
his breath seems to be lost, heâs gasping and hiccuping. then, with one final moan, heâs releasing white ropes onto your stomach and hand.
you stroke him through it, whispering sweet praises into his ear. you take your hand off of him once he whines out of overstimulation, and his spend easily washes off since youâre in the shower.
you kiss him delicately on his cheek when he pulls away from your neck, staring at you lovingly. âyou did so well, youâre so good..â
you think thatâs the end of it. youâll wash his hair, help him change, and cuddle him to sleep. then itâll go back to how itâs been for months in the morning.
you move to reach behind you for the shampoo, but he takes your wrist and holds it between his hands.
heâs looking at you so intensely that you almost want to shy away from his gaze. but you donât.
he licks his lips, and you resist the urge to stare.
âwhat, you think weâre done?â
god, itâs just all so slippery.
the way your back is sliding against the tile wall, the wet sound of leonâs hips slapping against your ass, your legs gliding along his waist, the feeling of both of your saliva-coated lips moving against each other.
leon is fucking dumb, non-stop whining and whimpering against you as he desperately ruts up into you. the feeling of your soaked pussy clenching around him made him feel like he was on cloud nine.
you both had already came twice together, his cum was still oozing out of your pussy.
leon pulls away, a string of saliva still connecting your lips. your foreheads press together, and heâs practically slobbering all over you. his speech is slurring together. âbaby.. oh my god, fuck⊠this feels so.. so..â
you let out a moan, your head leaning back against the wall, âfuckk, i know.â you already feel your third peak rapidly approaching.
his tip is repeatedly nudging that spot over and over and over and itâs almost too much, your breathing is uneven and heavy.
he drops his head back into your neck, and if you werenât so cockdrunk, youâd probably laugh at how itâs practically his new home.
his hot breath is hitting your shoulder, needy moans spilling repeatedly from his mouth.
âleon,â you gasped out, needing to look into those pretty eyes when you cum. âleon, honey, look at me.â
he shakes his head frantically, his thrusts becoming sloppier and his pace growing faster.
âlook at me, please.â you repeat, your climax is right there, you need this.
âcanât,â he panted, his hands that are on the back of your thighs grip harder, bruises surely forming. âcanât or iâll cum. wanâ this to lastâŠâ
âbaby, âs okay, we canâ fuck, we can go again.â
he whimpers at your words, licking sloppily at your neck. âohhh my fuck.. âm gonna cum againn.. gonnaâ gonna fill you up.â
âplease,â you whined, desperation to be filled rolling over you like a tidal wave. âcum, baby, âs alright.â
heâs muttering something incoherent, completely pussydrunk. your words are making his cock twitch relentlessly inside you.
your hand reaches into his hair and you pull it, smashing your lips against his.
he lets out the fucking sluttiest moan youâve heard from him yet, and his hips still and you feel that familiar, welcome warmth fill you. his tongue is rolling with yours lewdly.
his hips weakly buck up, fucking his cum into you. after a few moments of catching your breaths, he reluctantly pulls out. you shakily put your legs back onto the shower floor, holding tightly onto his shoulders for support.
he watches his cum droop from your pussy with fascination, and uses two fingers to push it back inside. he swallows harshly.
your head rolls back, exhaustion taking hold of your limbs.
leon gets the hint, and this time, itâs him helping you out of the shower and change.
once youâre all settled in bed, youâre more than ready to go straight to sleep. until you feel a brush against your spent cunt.
your eyes flicker to leon, whoâs just watching his hand thatâs cupping your pussy through your pyjama shorts.
you furrow your brows at him in confusion, and he just lifts the blanket and gets eye-level with your clothed core.
âwhatâre you doing?â you ask tiredly, despite already growing horny again.
âwell, you didnât cum that last time, hm?â he murmured, taking the waistband of your shorts and fresh panties, beginning to pull them down. his tongue darts out to lick his lips.
you smile, letting your head roll back onto the pillow and closing your eyes, letting your legs spread wider.
canât believe i had to root for the knights and they played like that. disgusting.

Thinking about how Luke could cum just from eating you out. Like heâd be between your legs, sloppily sucking on your clit while grinding into the mattress, getting so worked up over just tasting you. Heâd moan against you, gripping your thighs and looking up at you, wanting to know if heâs doing good, your moans only driving him further. His pants would be soaked with precum, his neglected cock painfully hard from being ignored for hours, but he wouldnât care. He just wants to make you cum on his mouth one more time. Of course, thatâs what heâs been saying for the past three orgasms.
Youâve had five orgasms, and your sixth is quickly approaching, and when he sticks his tongue inside your sopping cunt and finds that spongy spot that has you seeing stars, you moan and pull his hair, making him grind just a little bit too hard into the mattress, the sharp pain on his hair making him stiffen and whimper as he spills into his pants. And despite his sticky, softening cock and your sore overstimulated cunt, he still goes in for more, wanting to pull just one more orgasm out of you.
when we got leo there was one rule, we said: 'never will leo sleep in the bed with us'. he sleeps every night with us đ

the fire was low, but the glow of it painted the walls with a soft orange flicker. the house was quiet, save for the soft scrape of metal on wood and the occasional pop from the fireplace. joel sat at the table, glasses halfway down his nose, sleeves pushed up, and a small block of wood cradled in his calloused hands. his knife scraped slow, methodical strokes along the curve of what looked like the beginnings of a fox, delicate ears just forming, the snout notched into shape. he looked like he belonged there. not just in the room, but in the moment. hands busy, mouth set, the steady rhythm of his work filling the silence like he needed it more than rest.
you hovered in the doorway for a moment. there was something magnetic about watching him when he didnât know you were, how quiet he became, how precise. you couldnât explain it, but something in you twisted a little when you saw him like this. it didnât help that your brain was already a little fried from the day. youâd been restless all afternoon, bouncing between tasks around town, trying to distract yourself with anything that wasn't the thought of his hands. now you were back. and the ache was worse. he didnât look up when you stepped in, but you could tell by the subtle shift in his shoulders that he knew you were there.
âyouâve been out there awhile,â he said, voice low and even, not pausing in his carving.
âwasnât that long,â you murmured, stepping closer. âyou eat anything?â
joel snorted softly. âate somethinâ earlier. left some stew if youâre hungry.â
you walked around him, slow and quiet, letting your fingertips brush the edge of the table. you watched him work a little longer, the careful drag of his knife, the tension in his forearm, the way his brow furrowed when he focused. his glasses slid further down, and he huffed, pushing them back with the side of his wrist.
âiâm not really hungry,â you said, voice lower now.
he hummed in acknowledgment, not looking up.
you stepped between him and the table, gently nudging one of his knees open with yours. that finally earned you a glance. a small, knowing one.
âwhatâre you doinâ?â he asked, not irritated, just suspicious.
you didnât answer. you just moved closer and lowered yourself into his lap, straddling his thigh like it was muscle memory.
joel made a small sound in his throat. âjesus,â he muttered, setting the carving knife down with care but not taking his hands off you. âyouâre gonna make me slice my damn thumb open one of these days, sneakinâ up on me like that.â
âyou looked busy,â you said softly, your arms sliding around his shoulders. âdidnât wanna interrupt the great artist at work.â
he shook his head, his hands found your hips, grounding you, holding you still, but not pushing you away.
he muttered something you couldn't make out, setting the knife down with more care than necessary. âthat what weâre doinâ now?â
âyouâre not gonna make me beg, are you?â you said, your voice low as you slid your hands up the front of his shirt, thumbs brushing the space just under his collarbones. âbeen wound up all day.â
joel leaned back slightly to look at you over the top of his glasses. his eyes dragged over your face, then lowerâassessing. thinking. his hands landed heavy on your hips, grounding.
he exhaled, slow and controlled, like he was weighing his options. like he was pretending you didnât already have him wrapped around your finger.
âyouâre actinâ real needy tonight,â he said, voice dropping a little lower. his hands were still on your hips, thumbs idly brushing the hem of your shirt like he was debating whether to tug you closer or keep you there and burn slow.
âbeen thinking about you all day,â you admitted, quiet against his skin. âyou didnât even notice how pretty you looked this morning. all frown and flannel and your fuckin handsâŠâ
âmm,â he rumbled, mouth twitching. âthat whatâs got you worked up?â
you didnât answer. you just shifted slightly in his lap, pressing down a little harder on his thigh, watching the way his jaw tightened when you did.
joelâs hands flexed, gripping your waist a little firmer now. âyou come in here sittinâ on my leg like that,â he said lowly, eyes flicking to your mouth, âand you expect me to finish my carvinâ?â
âi expected you to tell me how bad you missed me while i was gone,â you teased.
his brows lifted. âi see you every day.â
you leaned in closer. âdoesnât mean you donât miss me.â
joel leaned back, gave you that quiet, unreadable look.
his hands slid down to the backs of your thighs, squeezing once before he pulled you closer, flush against him. the fox on the table forgotten, the knife untouched. his mouth brushed your cheek, soft and rough.
but you had him here, grounded. his hands, his warmth, the slow way he let himself have you.
âyou done carving?â you whispered.
joel nodded slowly, almost like he didnât trust himself to speak.
âgood,â you whispered, brushing your nose against his. ââcause i need you worse than that fox does.â his glasses were crooked. you reached up and pulled them off, setting them aside. his eyes were darker now, heavier.

i loved grumpy x sunshine! can we get more of it? buckyâs just a big doberman who loves his sweet precious baby girl more than anything
yes I absolutely love their dynamic and BIG DOBERMAN energy is so spot on!! hereâs protective Bucky *wink wink*
Sink in
grumpy!bucky barnes x sunshine!reader
summary: you go on an undercover mission with Bucky who gets overprotective and⊠jealous?
word count: 2771
WARNINGS: 18+ explicit content, MDNI. curse words, dirty talk, praise kink, PiV, unprotected sex, rough sex, semi-public sex, mirror sex, breeding, possessive behavior, mutual desperation, fully consensual by both parties although not explicitly stated.
You didnât need to be told twice to smile â it came naturally to you.
Even undercover in a tight red dress and uncomfortable heels, walking into an event filled with arms dealers and corrupt diplomats, you smiled like you had nothing to fear.
Bucky hated it.
âYouâre drawing attention.â he muttered under his breath, large hand on the small of your back. âYou walk in like that and every asshole in hereâs gonna think youâre available.â
You bumped his hip with yours. âThatâs kind of the point, grump. Youâre supposed to look like youâre here with your arm candy.â
âI donât like the idea of being bait.â he muttered.
âYouâre not bait,â you said with a smile that could melt titanium. âI am.â
Bucky sighed and ran a hand through his hair. âThatâs even worse.â
Your relationship with Bucky wasnât simple. He didnât flirt. He didnât tease. He grunted. He rolled his eyes. He glared at anyone who looked at you too long. You werenât dating. Not officially. You hadnât kissed, hadnât crossed that line.
But youâd shared motel rooms. Shared food. Watched old movies on scratched discs in safehouses, shoulders brushing in the dark. Youâd woken up more than once with your legs tangled under a too-small blanket and his arm slung heavy across your stomach.
You called him âgrumpâ and he let you. You made him coffee just the way he liked it â Black, one tablespoon of sugarâ even when he never asked.
He called you doll once, under his breath, when he didnât know you were listening. And when things got dangerous, when missions got ugly, when people came too close â Bucky stopped being silent. He turned brutal. Fierce.
Protective.
Of you.
You werenât sure what that meant. You werenât lovers. But you werenât just teammates either.
Sometimes, when you caught him staring too long â at your mouth, at your bare shoulder, at your smile â you thought maybe⊠maybe he felt it too.
The pull.
The way the air shifted between you like something unsaid was pressing against both your ribs.
But he never made a move.
Never crossed the line.
So you didnât either. You stayed in that strange in-between â close, but not close enough.
But tonight?
When he was here with you in that goddamn tailored suit? Gods be good â it was getting difficult. Very difficult to not get close.
You continued your undercover mission, glancing at Bucky who was watching just from around the corner.
Everything was going fine â until it wasnât.
You were halfway through your flirtatious distraction with a smug suit named Anton when something shifted. You felt it before you saw it â the way Bucky stiffened across the room, how his gaze locked onto yours like a damn hawk.
Antonâs hand brushed your bare arm. Too high.
Bucky moved.
Not walked. Not jogged.
Moved. Like a fucking missile.
By the time Anton leaned in to whisper something vile in your ear, Bucky was already there.
His metal arm was around your waist before you could blink, yanking you back against his chest as his other hand slammed Anton back into the velvet booth.
âSheâs not yours to touch.â he growled, low and deadly.
Anton sputtered, caught off guard. âShe saidâshe was justââ
âI donât care what she said,â Bucky snapped. âYou donât lay a hand on her.â
âBuckyââ you started, cheeks warm, heart hammering. You werenât sure If you felt embarrassed or flustered⊠or maybe it was both?
âNo.â His voice was sharp, eyes never leaving the guyâs face. âYou donât touch her unless she asks you to. Got it?â
Anton nodded, wide-eyed, hands raised. Bucky didnât let go of your waist.
Not even when the man scurried away like a kicked dog. Not even when the music returned to full volume and the mission resumed.
He held you tight against him, breathing hard.
You looked up at him, that same soft smile on your face. âYou okay, soldier?â
His jaw was clenched tight. âDonât do that again.â
âWhat?â
âLet someone else put their hands on you.â
You blinked, voice lowering. âIt was part of the mission.â
âDonât care.â His grip tightened slightly. âNext time anyone tries that, Iâm breaking more than their pride.â
And just like that â it was silent between you.
Hot.
Tense.
Buzzing with a line you hadnât crossed yet, but you were so close.
Then he leaned down, mouth brushing your ear.
âYouâre mine to protect. You get that?â
Your breath caught.
You nodded.
And from the way his hand slipped down your hip, lingering like he needed to feel you were safe, you knew the mission wasnât the only thing getting dangerously close to explosive.
You watched him leave and soon as you made sure Bucky made his way back to his spot, talking with some other men you rushed to find the bathroom, your breath still caught in your throat, panic raising with every passing moment.
The second the door to the staffâs restroom clicked shut behind you, you exhaled.
Not calmly. Not softly.
You practically collapsed against the sink, palms flat on the cool porcelain as your shoulders slumped forward.
Your heart was still racing, and it wasnât just the mission.
It was him.
God, it was always him.
You stared at your reflection in the mirror, the bass from the club thudding through the floor beneath your heels.
You looked like yourself.
The flirty dress. The soft smile still trying to recover. But inside, you were buzzing. And tired. And confused. And a little bit angry.
Because Bucky had done it again.
The jealousy, the possessiveness â the way heâd shoved that man like he was seconds from pulling the trigger, growling like a feral thing with the words that basically said âdonât touch whatâs mine.â
But then, as always, heâd walked away like nothing had happened. Like he didnât just claim you in front of a room full of people and then leave you standing there, heart pounding, body still warm from his hands.
You felt like a fool. You closed your eyes. Let out a slow breath. You werenât weak. You werenât. Youâd handled worse.
But not this.
Not him.
You had no idea what the hell you were to Bucky Barnes.
Some days, he looked at you like you were his only peace in this godforsaken world. Other days, he barely spoke â only snapped when you got too close to danger or when someone else looked at you too long. Heâd touch you â your waist, your back, your wrist when he needed to pull you out of the way â but he never stayed.
Never kissed you.
Never said anything.
You opened your eyes again and muttered to your reflection:
âJust say it, man. Just say it. Either you want me or you donât.â
Your voice cracked, and you hated it.
Because you were tired. Tired of feeling like you belonged to someone who didnât want to belong back.
You didnât even hear the door open. You only felt it â the sudden shift in the air behind you. The presence. Heavy. Quiet. Familiar.
Then the low voice:
âWhyâd you run?â
You turned slowly. Bucky stood just inside the doorway, arms crossed, filling the frame like a storm you hadnât seen coming.
âI didnât run.â you said, trying for casual. It came out thin.
âYou disappeared.â
âI needed air.â
âYou couldâve told me.â
Your hands clenched. âOh, so now Iâm supposed to tell you where I go, too?â
His jaw ticked. âThatâs not what Iââ
âGod, Bucky, what are we?â
The words exploded out of you before you could stop them. Your voice trembled, but your spine stayed straight. âBecause one second youâre pushing guys off me like you own me, and the next itâs like nothing happened. You look at me like you⊠like you want me. But you never say it. Never do anything. And Iâm so â so damn tired of guessing!â
Silence. It pressed thick between you, heavy enough to crush. His stare didnât waver. But his shoulders had dropped just slightly, and something vulnerable flickered behind his eyes.
You swallowed hard, chest rising and falling. âDo you even know what you want from me?â
He didnât move for a second. Then he stepped forward â slow, deliberate.
âI want you safe.â he said quietly.
You scoffed. âThatâs not an answer.â
âItâs the only one I can say without crossing a line I canât come back from.â
Your heart skipped. âSo cross it.â
His jaw clenched.
âCross it.â You repeated, as If you were daring him.
He was in front of you in a breath, eyes wild, hands reaching out and gripping the counter on either side of your hips, caging you in. His body hovered, close but not touching. You could feel the heat of him. Smell the leather and sweat and something so distinctly him that your knees nearly buckled.
His hands left the counter and grabbed your waist instead, yanking you flush against his chest. You barely had a second to gasp before his mouth was on yours â rough, devouring, starving. He kissed you like a man possessed. Like heâd been holding this in for months. Maybe he had.
You whimpered into his mouth, hands fisting the front of his suit as he pushed you back until your spine hit the cold bathroom wall.
âFuck,â he muttered between kisses. âYou donât get it, do you?â
You gasped as his lips moved down to your neck, sucking a mark right under your ear. âG-Get what?â
His grip tightened on your hips. âThat every time someone touches you, I want to break their fucking hands. That I canât sleep unless I know youâre okay. That Iâve been dying to do this.â
He ground his hips into yours and you felt it â thick, hard, desperate. You moaned.
âThis what you wanted, doll?â he growled against your throat.
You nodded, breathless. âYesâGod, yesââ
He spun you around, pressing your front against the sink as his hand shoved your dress up roughly over your hips. You let out a breathy gasp, the cool air hitting your thighs.
âNo more running,â he muttered, voice low and dangerous. His hand cupped between your legs through your soaked panties, his fingers rubbing your wet heat. âYouâre mine. Say it.â
âYours,â you breathed. âIâve always been yoursââ
He growled something filthy under his breath â you only caught good girl â and then he was pulling your panties down and freeing himself from his pants. You looked up just in time to see your own wrecked reflection in the mirror.
He caught your eye there. Held it. One hand flat on your stomach, the other guiding himself to your entrance.
He teased your slick folds with his cock first, making you moan and gasp, your body moved in anticipation and he let out a dark chuckle.
âPlease,â you whispered. âNeed you, Buckyâjust⊠need you.â
That was all it took.
He thrust into you in one sharp motion and you cried out, hand slamming against the mirror to steady yourself. He filled you completely, thick and pulsing inside, and didnât give you a second to adjust â just started pounding into you like he was making up for every moment he hadnât touched you before.
âFuckâtight little pussyâbeen dreaminâ about this,â he groaned, metal hand gripping your hip so hard youâd have bruises tomorrow. His other hand grabbed your jaw, making you look at yourself in the mirror. âLook at you. Fuckinâ perfect.â
Your moans bounced off the walls â you barely cared who heard. His thrusts were deep, punishing, filthy.
And he wouldnât shut up.
âNot letting you flirt with those assholes again,â he snarled, eyes locked on yours in the mirror. âYou wanna act like bait? Fine. But Iâm the one who gets to fuck you after.â
You clenched around him at his words and he felt it.
âOh, baby. You like that, huh? You like when I get mean for you?â
âY-Yesâfuck, Buckyâpleaseââ
He brought his hand down and smacked your ass, not hard, just enough to make you yelp. âThatâs right. This pussyâs mine.â
âYours,â you sobbed. âAll yoursââ
He reached around and rubbed tight circles on your clit, hips never faltering. You were unraveling fast, so fast, the pleasure built from weeks â months â of wanting this.
You came hard, body shaking against the sink as he kept fucking you through it, murmuring praises into your ear. Good girl. So sweet. So fuckinâ good for me.
When he was close, he pulled out just long enough to flip you around and lift you onto the sink. You gasped as your back hit the mirror, legs spreading on instinct.
He slid back in easily, growling into your mouth as he kissed you again â slower now, but no less intense.
âYouâre mine now,â he whispered against your lips. âMine, doll. Say it again.â
âYours,â you gasped. âOnly yours.â
He came with a groan, forehead pressed to yours, hips twitching as he filled you deep, his seed spreading inside of your walls.
And then â silence.
Just breathing. Just heat. Just the faint bass of the music still thumping beyond the door, as if none of it mattered. The rush, the blinding pressure of it all started to fade â and Bucky was the first to come down from it.
You were still boneless, leaning back against the mirror with your legs dangling over the edge of the sink, dress wrinkled, panties somewhere on the damn floor.
And Bucky⊠looked like heâd seen a ghost.
His hands were still on your thighs, but barely. Like he was afraid to touch you now.
His chest was heaving, jaw tight, eyes flickering between your face and the door behind him, like he wasnât sure whether to kiss you again or bolt.
You gave a small, lazy smile. âHey.â
His eyes locked onto yours.
You reached up, brushed a strand of hair off his forehead. âYou okay?â
âIâshit,â he mumbled, stepping back just enough to give you space. âShit, Iâdid I hurt you?â
You blinked, caught off guard. âWhat? Noââ
âI was rough. Too rough.â His metal hand hovered near your waist but didnât land. âYou didnât evenâfuck, we didnât talk, I didnât even ask, I justââ
âBucky,â you said, soft but firm. âLook at me.â
He did. Slowly.
Your smile was still there. Warm. Safe.
The look on your face didnât match the apocalypse going off in his head. If anything, you looked⊠happy. Messy, flushed, glowing â and happy.
âI wouldâve stopped you,â you said gently. âI wouldâve said no if I didnât want it this way.â
He exhaled hard, running a hand down his face like he didnât believe you could possibly be real.
You reached for him again and tugged him back between your knees. âBucky. I wanted it,â you said, more seriously now. âIâve wanted you. For so long. You didnât do anything wrong.â
His hands settled on your hips, gentler this time. His head bowed.
ââŠIâve never had anyone like you,â he said quietly. âI donât know how to⊠be.â
Your heart squeezed.
You brought his hand â the flesh one â to your cheek, nuzzling into it. âI know⊠You were perfect, Bucky.â
A few moments passed in silence.
Then he cleared his throat. âYou should⊠uh. Let me clean you up.â
You laughed softly. âWhat, getting shy now?â
He flushed. The Bucky Barnes blushing? You were keeping that in your pocket forever.
âI justâyeah, lemme take care of you, okay?â he muttered.
He grabbed some paper towels from the dispenser, ran one under warm water, and returned with a careful, almost reverent look.
He was quiet as he cleaned you up â too quiet. Focused. Gentle.
You tilted his chin up so heâd look at you again. âIâm not gonna break, Buck.â
âI know,â he said, smiling faintly. âBut youâre still my doll.â
You blinked, surprised by how soft he sounded saying it out loud â like it slipped out without permission.
ââŠYouâve never called me that to my face before.â
He shrugged, looking away. âDidnât want you to know how gone I was.â
He helped you off the counter and found your underwear with a grunt, slipping them into your hand with an adorably sheepish look.
You both fixed yourselves up, and when you opened the door, the gala still raged on like nothing happened.
But something had changed.
Because Bucky took your hand â not just to lead you out, not just for safety.
He held it.
And he didnât let go.
