Bloody Hands and Broken Minds Book 1

Part One - Chapter 15

I mentally curse myself for my earlier agreement to attend this stupid party. Tony failed to mention that he was inviting the whole state of New York, and now I'm surrounded by a bunch of rich obnoxious strangers. I'm currently listening to said stranger as they ramble on about something I don't bother to try and understand. I stand there as they drone on and on about stupid shit, nodding my head occasionally as they insist on continuing this ridiculous conversation. I can't take it any longer and excuse myself as I walk away from the mind numbing conversation.

I spot Sam at the bar and sigh in relief as I head over to him. A smile works it's way across my face as Sam wolf whistles when he sets his sight on me. I collapse on the bar stool next to him and rest my head on the bar.

"What? You don't like the company?" Sam grins.

"If you can even call these rich snobs company." I reply as I lift my head off the bar.

"Their conversations are a bit mind numbing." Sam laughs.

"Exactly."

"I don't understand why Tony is friends with these idiots." Sam wonders as I flag down the bartender.

"Yeah hi, I'll have something strong please." I smile at the bartender and he gives a knowing laugh and nods before moving away.

"I take it you don't like Tony's rich friends." Natasha smirks as she sits beside me.

"They are so self absorbed and obnoxious!" I complain as Sam laughs. I thank the bartender as he sets a drink down in front of me.

"Sounds like someone we know." Natasha snickers.

"Speak of the devil and he shall appear." I smile over the rim of my drink as Tony walks towards the three of us.

"Enjoying the party?" Tony flashes his play boy smile as he leans against the bar and halfheartedly waves to the bartender.

"Your friends are annoying snobs." Sam replies bluntly.

"They're not my friends." Tony scoffs.

"Then why invite them?" I raise a brow at the man.

"To show off." Tony grins as the bartender places a drink in front of him. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have guests to entertain." Tony smirks as he grabs his drink and walks off into the crowd.

"Leave it to Stark to turn a party into a competition." I laugh as I watch him flirt with anyone and everything that has a pair of boobs.

"Speaking of competition..." Natasha smirks as she raises her glass to her lips, "Get a look at tall, blond, and righteous. I could eat that man alive."

I gasp. "Steve!?" I shriek as Sam bursts out laughing.

I look in the direction Natasha's eyes are focused, and in that moment, I almost forgot how to breathe. Bucky and Steve are standing together at the other end of the room, both in tuxedos. Both hot as fuck. They're practically dripping sex. I can't tear my eyes away from the duo as their muscles flex with every small movement they make. I must have been staring for too long because when I look back at Sam and Natasha, they're both wearing shit eating grins.

"Not a fucking word." I snap as they continue staring at me with knowing smirks.

"We don't have to say shit, you're tattling on yourself staring at him like that honey." Natasha laughs.

"What are you talking about?" I blush as I take a large gulp of the liquid in my glass.

"You can't even try to deny it." Sam smirks.

"Deny what?" I huff.

"That you want to climb that man like a tree." Natasha whispers in a sultry tone as I choke on my drink.
