The Forgotten ❤️

Chapter 8

Victoria stood in front of her mirror making sure she looked okay. The girls had helped her pick out a long black dress with a low neckline and open back. She was nervous about the party and the fact Steve still hadn't talked her about what she showed him of her and Bucky.

She takes a deep breath and opens the door to step into the party. She finds Natasha at the bar and sits down. "Can I have something to drink?" She drinks the whisky and sets it on the bar when she hears his voice.

"Vick?" She turns around to come face to face with Bucky. "Dance with me?" She accepts Bucky's hand and lets him lead her to the dance floor.

She feels him place his flesh hand on the small of her back. "You can use your metal hand too Buck. You know I'm not afraid of you." He places his metal hand on her back as she rested her hands on his shoulders. She had forgotten just how gentle he could be.

"I'm sorry, Vick. I'm sorry I left you there." She feels his remorse, and the sadness. She used her powers to make him calm.

"I'd really rather not talk about it. I want to move on." She looked at him in the eyes, remembering them together. She still loved him, and wasn't sure if she could let him go, "god I've missed you so much. Kiss me. Please." Bucky nodded as he brought his flesh hand to her neck, pulling her lips softly to his, causing her to moan softly before pulling away. "Ugh. I'm sorry. I can't." She wiped a tear from her cheek as she left him on the floor, going back to the bar.

"Are you okay?" She looked up at Natasha as she handed her a drink.

"Not really. No." Victoria started to look around, seeing Steve dancing with a blonde girl. "Who is that?"

"Oh that's Sharon. That's his ex-girlfriend." She blocked Natasha out and focused her attention on Sharon and Steve. She felt love and lust from Sharon, but from Steve all she felt was him feeling uncomfortable. She wanted to cut in, to save him, but he made it clear he wasn't ready. She didn't know if he'd ever be.

She sits for a few minutes before getting tapped on the shoulder. She turned around and found someone she could only assume was a Shield agent.

"Would you like to dance?" She looked at him, he looked like he had Bucky's eyes. He seemed familiar to her, but she couldn't place him. She assumed it was just that she had seen him around the compound.

She shakes her head, "no thanks."

He just smiled at her, "sure. I hope to see you again soon." She thought about his kind eyes as she watched him walk away from her.

She turned back to Natasha, "so the blonde all over Steve, that's the girlfriend he broke up with when I moved in?" Natasha nodded and handed her another drink knowing full well she wouldn't be able to get drunk.

Victoria felt someone lean down behind her as she heard Loki whisper, "care to dance Pet?" She turned around and took his hand, letting him lead her to the floor. He pulled her close to him, one hand holding hers, the other on the small of her back. "You look beautiful tonight Pet."

"Thanks Loki." She looked to see Steve and Sharon now sitting at the bar where she had just been. She saw Steve watching her. She groaned as she looked back up at Loki. "I'm sorry for the other day."

"The kissing? I enjoyed the kissing. I just didn't enjoy the stopping." His confidence made her blush.

"No. The using you as a distraction or to make Steve jealous. I'm confused. I had a whole other life before I came here. One that involved Bucky. I was in love with him, I still am. I don't need you to add to the confusion."

"Pet. I told you, I don't mind." He bent his lips close to her ear, making sure Steve saw him do so, "I can have sex and it not mean anything. Can you?" She blushed again as he pulled back to look at her. He laughed and let go of her, "if you want him, go and claim him."

She turned towards the bar as she felt Loki give her a small nudge. Victoria stood behind Steve and Sharon, "Captain, would you like to dance?" Steve turns around and offers her his hand.

Sharon starts to interject but the Shield agent that had previously asked Victoria to dance stepped in front of Victoria and Steve and offered his hand to Sharon, "you look beautiful tonight Agent Carter, care to dance?" Sharon hesitates, but accepts his hand and they start to walk away. The Shield agent looked back at Victoria and winked. Had he been trying to help her? He didn't even know her.

Victoria let Steve lead her out to the dance floor. She felt the fire between them as he placed his hand on her bare back, grabbing her other hand in his. She moved her body closer to his and reciprocated by holding her tighter. She wanted to tell him she missed his touch, missed his lips on hers. But she didn't want to push it. She wanted him to come to her when he was ready. Her free hand found his hair as she looked up at him. "Captain."

Steve smirked at her, she knew he loved when she called him that. "You look beautiful." She felt him run his fingers up and down her back.

She felt the sparks between them as he did. "Thank you."

"I'm sorry Victoria. For getting upset about you and Buck. I'm jealous of your love for him."

She looked back up at him, "I know you are. I'm sorry. I'm still in love with him. It doesn't mean I haven't been falling for you as well. I'm confused."

Steve nodded his head, "I know you are love." He motioned to Sharon dancing with the SHIELD agent, "we all have pasts. I don't want to further confuse you, but I want you."

"I want you too Steve." She rested her head on his chest and projected an image of them onto him. They were in his room, tangled in sheets on his bed. She heard the small moan rise from his chest as she looked up at him. "Make it a reality with me?"

"I want nothing more." He placed his hand on her chin, pulling her lips softly to his. "We have to make it through the rest of the party first."

She groaned, "do you think anyone will notice if we leave?"

Steve laughs, "well, I think the party is for you, so yeah probably."

"Fine. Get me another drink then?" He nods and grabs her hand, leading her to the bar. As they approach they see Sharon sitting there. Victoria ignored her and asked Natasha for a drink. Natasha nods and sets a drink in front of her, Victoria feeling her amusement. She turned back to Steve to find Sharon being a little too handsy. She finished her drink and slammed it on the bar and stood up. She grabbed Sharon's hand as she reached up to touch Steve's chest, "can I help you Sharon?"

She let go as Sharon turned around, "we're good here, thanks."

Victoria goes to use her powers, but decides against it. Instead she grabs Steve's hand in front of Sharon, "take me to bed Steve." She hears Sharon snort behind her as Steve squeezed her hand, following her. She turned back to see an annoyed Sharon and winked at her as they left the party together.

Victoria leads Steve to his room and shuts the door as they both remove their shoes. "Remember that projection?" She bites her lip as he nods, his eyes locked on hers. She brings her hands to his shirt, slowly unbuttoning as she made her way down. She pulled his shirt from the band of his pants and slid it off his shoulders. Steve removed his under shirt as she undid his belt, pulling it from his pants. She felt not only her own anticipation, but Steve's as well. He stopped her before she could undo his pants. He brought his hand up to her shoulders. He slipped his fingers under the straps of her dress, sliding them down her shoulders, letting her dress fall to the floor. He ran his fingers softly up her arms, to her breasts, running them across her nipples. She felt every nerve ending coming to life at his touch. She undid the button and zipper of his pants, letting them fall. They both removed their own underwear as they stared at each other. He pressed his body against hers, pressing her against the door. His lips found hers urgently as he lifted her off the ground, lowering her slowly as she fully enveloped him, making them both moan. His movements were slow and thoughtful, wanting to savor every bit of her. He laid her gently onto the bed with him on top of her, never leaving her essence. He trailed kisses down to her hard nipples, his tongue twirling around them, gently biting and sucking as he did. She dug her hands into the blanket on the bed as he moved his mouth slowly back up her neck, to her chin, until his mouth found hers. She wrapped her arms around him as he sped his movements. She felt not only her own pleasure, but his as well as she projected it to him and they became encapsulated in a bubble of mutual pleasure; feeling each other, making their own that much more intense. They truly were one person as they both reached climax together.

Steve collapses on the bed next to her, both of them out of breath, "wow."

"I know. That was... I don't even know." She rolled over to face him, "can we do it again?"

Steve laughs, "give me a minute." He mirrored her, tucking some hair behind her ear, "and then, yeah. Again, and again." He pressed his lips firmly to hers again as they got lost in their own bubble. They spent the night not sleeping, but getting lost in each other over and over again.
