Those Ocean Eyes and That Charming Smile

057

I shake my head as I leave the elevator and follow Bucky as he walks across the blue mats deep in thought about if we should start off with weights or fighting. He decides after a fast moment that we will do weights then fighting and looks over at me knowing I can hear his thoughts so I nod, telling him that's I'm good with that.

"Hey, Bucky?" I start a little hesitant

"What's up, babydoll?" Bucky replies and leads us off the blue mats and onto the thinner, tougher black ones of the cardio and weight area

"I have a question if you don't mind." I hold back a little instead of just asking him and I can see his eyebrows furrow in the mirror as he faces away from me knowing something's up but he composes himself and smoothes out his face when he turns towards me now with a small smile

"You know you can ask me anything, gorgeous." He reminds me. "I wouldn't lie to you, I have to reason to." He adds for safety incase I am overthinking which he knows I do a lot of

Who doesn't?

"I know." I nod and walk over to him when he waves his hand 

"Then, why are you so shy and hesitant?" He asks while placing his hands on my shoulders and turns me towards the mirror so he can see me. "Don't get me wrong, it's adorable but you don't have to be like that. It's just me." 

"I don't know." I shrug against his hands rubbing out the tense muscles in my shoulders and back. "It's quite personal."

"I don't mind." He shakes his head and moves his hands down my back and along my spine. "And if I did, I would let you know. Same as you would." 

"Okay." I sigh, feeling better and better when he rubs out the knots in my back but not the kinks which I push down. "I just wanted to know about your toys." I finally say 

"That's all?" He asks not in a judgmental way but in a surprised tone after thinking it would be something a little deeper in his opinion

"Well, I wanted to know if you used them on someone else." I say a little softer and squint my eyes at his reaction that I can't see through my brace that is all habit

"Oh no, baby." He chuckles and the laughter catches me off guard when I drop my shoulders the fraction they went up. "They are all new." 

"But, you said you used them." I place my right wrist in his left hand when he holds it over my shoulder

"The ones I used for my own pleasure but, I bought new ones." He explains while pulling my right arm across my chest to stretch out my shoulder for a few seconds

I have to admit, I would have never stretched my muscles this deep by myself.

"May I ask why you bought new ones?" I ask and he laughs when moving my arm to his right hand and behind me to stretch it the other way

"You can go ahead and call me crazy but I bought them when I was thinking of you." He admits shamelessly and laughs some more at my wide eyes and dropped jaw in the mirror

"Thinking of me?" I echo

"Yeah." He shrugs. "My original plan was to ask you on a date and if everything went well, I was going to take you back here and use them on you." He unveils his plan that makes a few new fantasies run wild in my head. "But, I like how we did it better."

"Suddenly, I want to know what would've happened if you did take me on that date." I mumble

"You can still find out." He whispers in my ear while pulling my hand over my head and in between my shoulder blades

"That sounds nice." I smile and look at him in the mirror. "Maybe, you can call in that reservation soon." I suggest

"I'll do it in the next few days." He says. "That's all you get to know."
