Daylight

Near You (Bucky)

The music of her alarm goes off. She aggressively smacks the top of the clock until it shuts off. Not even bothering to open her eyes.

"That poor alarm clock. It never stood a chance." I chuckle as she nestles into my chest. Pulling the covers over her head.

"Why are the blinds open? It's too bright."

"Because I've been up for an hour and it felt like I was in the BatCave."

She comes out of her makeshift shelter from the sun. Her eyes barely open.

"You didn't happen to make coffee in that hour, did you?"

"Yes, I did. It's ready when you are."

"I love you, James Barnes. You are the best." She gives me a kiss on the cheek before she sits up in the bed.

I watch her as she stretches. Everything about these moments with her is amazing. It's something I never knew I could have or even deserved.

She looks at me over her shoulder, her eyebrows raised like she's waiting for something. I realize what she's waiting for.

"I love you too, Charlotte Coulson."

"About time. Geeze. Just left me hanging on that one."

"I'm sorry, doll. I was thinking about how beautiful you look right now."

"You're sweet, but I am definitely not very attractive at the moment. I am not a pretty sleeper and I'm okay with it."

I can't stop myself from laughing, "well, you're definitely not Sleeping Beauty. But that doesn't mean I don't think you're beautiful."

I grab her and pull her into me, "but your morning breath could slay a dragon." I tease.

She wiggles out of my arms and does a breath test, "oh my god. That's terrible. I'm going to go brush my teeth and then I'm gonna beat you up for not telling me earlier."

She runs into the bathroom and I hear her toothbrush turn on. I get up and grab my clothes out of the dresser. I'm fully dressed when I hear her footsteps coming back down the hall.

Before she can even try anything, I grab her and toss her onto the bed. Straddling on top of her with her hands pinned above her head.

"Holy shit! What was that?!"

"You said you were gonna beat me up, so I took a proactive approach."

"Oh my god, what the hell! There was definitely a moment of 'I'm going to die, but I'm weirdly turned on.' I'm terrified but also horny?"

I start to kiss her neck, she moans softly with each kiss. Her breathing getting faster as I move up to her lips.

She smiles at me as I hover above her. I kiss her, but hold myself back. If I give her more than that I won't be able to stop and neither of us will make it into work.

She lets out a little whine when I pull away and release her hands.

"No, don't say we have to get ready for work."

I bite my lip, holding in a laugh, "it's time to get ready for work. C'mon, get up."

"I'm up. I'm up. Just disappointed. But it's Friday, so after work? Me and you?"

"Yes. I'll get out before you, but I'll be back to pick you up. Now let's go, get dressed."

An hour later we pull into work. I kiss her before she gets out of the cab. Watching her ass as she walks into the building. Already thinking about what I'm gonna do to her tonight.
