The Forgotten ❤️

Chapter 12

The animosity from Steve continued to grow as Bucky spent every night in her bed, sometimes just sleeping. She had missed being with him, sleeping with him, touching him, making love to him. She forgot how safe she felt in his arms.

Victoria walks into the kitchen early in the morning finding only Steve making coffee. "Morning Steve."

He looked up at her as she approached him. "Hi." He tried to brush past her, but she grabbed him by the waist, making him stop. "I miss you Steve." He lets out a long sigh, but doesn't move from her touch. He brought his eyes to hers, and she could tell he missed her too. She grabbed his hand and he squeezed it. "I want you Steve."

"You seem to be doing fine with Buck." He pulled away from her, grabbing a mug from the cabinet.

"It's complicated." She grabbed the mug from his hand and set it on the counter. She jumped on the counter, pulling him to her between her legs and he let her.

"Vick, I.." Before he could say anything, she pulled him into a kiss. Her hands found his hair as he moaned, his hands rubbed her bare thighs. His touch felt like an electric current flowing through both of them as she projected what she felt onto him. He moaned louder as his lips found her neck and earlobe. "I miss you, I want you."

Before she can respond she hears Sharon calling for Steve as he turns away from her and grabs his mug. "Fuck." Victoria hops down from the counter as Sharon enters the kitchen wearing only Steve's shirt. Victoria knew that she was doing it just to annoy her.

Victoria ran her hand across Steve's back as she walked past him, "well Steve, good luck with your mediocre sex. We both know it was better with me." She projects images of them making love. She laughs as she hears him drop his mug and curse again as she leaves the kitchen. She enters back into her own room and slams the door, waking up Bucky.

"Oh, I'm sorry James."

He leans up on his elbows, "it's okay doll." He pats the bed, "come back to bed with me?"

She giggles and jumps on him in bed. She straddled him on the bed, pressing her lips firmly to his. He rolled her onto her back, pinning her underneath him making her laugh. "Kiss me James."

"As you wish doll." His darted his tongue inside her mouth as she pulled him closer to her. She pulled on his shirt, helping him remove it. He moaned as she leaned up so he could remove hers as well. He trailed kisses down between her breasts to her stomach and back up. His mouth found hers again as they were interrupted by a knock on the door. She stands up and puts her shirt back on to find Natasha at the door.

"Mission for you, come on."

"Alright Nat, I'll change and be right down." She shuts the door and turns back to Bucky. He watches her as she pulls her hair back. She takes off her shirt and slips into her black catsuit that looked like Nat's.

"You're so beautiful Vick."

She sat on the bed next to him as she put on her boots. She turned to face him, placing her hand on his cheek. "James. I want you. I want to be with you. But I'm in love with Steve too. I don't know what I want. I think we should take a break from whatever is going on here."

Bucky sits up, "don't be sorry. But choose me. I love you Vick. You were mine long before you were his. We have history, we have a son. Choose me. Please." She didn't know what to say as he kissed her one last time before she left him alone in her room.

Victoria found Steve and Natasha in the meeting room along with Sharon. "What is she doing here?"

"Sharon was the one that brought us the intel." Steve takes a step forward as Bucky and Grant walk in behind them before Victoria could communicate anymore discontent.

As they all get ready to board the jet, Grant stops her. "Hey. Don't trust Sharon. I don't know what it is, but you can't trust her." He wraps her in a hug before letting her join the others on the jet.

When they land Steve goes with Nat, leaving Victoria to team up with Sharon. They start to look around as she hears Steve on the comms, "does anyone see anything?" Victoria hears everyone say no as her and Sharon turn a corner and she sees a whole squad of Hydra soldiers. "Steve..." before she could finish, Sharon turned back to her, hitting her in the face with the butt of her gun and everything went black.

********************************

Steve storms onto the compound, "what do you mean you were ambushed Sharon?" Bucky and Grant see them enter, Sharon sporting a bloody lip, holding her ribs.

"Where is Victoria?" Bucky notices she was missing. He felt the anger welling in his gut as no one would answer him. "Steve?" He raised his voice.

"Leave me alone Buck." 

Bucky takes a step towards Steve, but Grant grabbed his arm. He looks back at him shaking his head. Bucky starts to leave the room, but hears Steve behind him, "what do you care? Miss your fuck buddy?"

Bucky turns back to Steve breaking free from Grant trying to stop him. He got in Steve's face, "I know you didn't just say that! She's more than that, she always will be. But she's in love with you!" He pushes his chest, "don't fuck it up." He leaves before he said or did something he would regret, or more aptly, something Victoria regretted.

Grant grabbed Steve, pulling him to the side so only he could hear him. "Sharon had something to do with this, I'm sure of it. I can't feel Victoria. They must have drugged her with something, affecting her powers."

"Are you sure Grant?" Steve watched Grant, this was the first time he actually took the time to talk to him. He looked so much like Victoria, with Bucky's eyes. The thought of them having a child together still made him sad.

"I am sure. And Steve," he grabbed Steve's arm as he started to walk away, "Bucky is right, she's in love with you. You are supposed to be together, I've seen it."

Before Steve could respond, Grant walked away. He didn't know what to do with that, what did Grant mean he had seen it? He didn't have time to dwell on it. He turned around, "Nat, grab Sharon. Grant, go get Wanda and meet us on the roof."

"Why me Steve?" He watched Sharon's alligator tears fall from her eyes. She tried to grab at him but he pushed her away. "I love you Steve."

The words made him angry. "You don't know what that word means." He looked at Natasha, "Nat?"

She just nodded and grabbed Sharon, dragging her away.
