Lily POV

"Honey, I really have to go now"
I snort and sulk at Steve's words.
He smiles amused as he sits up, his muscular back facing me.
It is almost 8:00 in the morning and Steve and I have been awake for a few hours, the sunlight comes overwhelmingly through the window announcing that it is day now and that it is time to leave our sweet and warm alcove.
I watch him turn his back to me sitting on the edge of the bed.
I see him grabbing his phone from above the night stand and typing a message, after finishing levering his arms he gives a push to get up but before he can do it I throw myself on his shoulders surrounding his neck with my arms trying to pull him back down but obviously he's much stronger than me.
He laughs again turning his head back.
"Lily I have to leave in 20 minutes.I can't waste any more time"
He grabs my wrists and wriggles out of my grip.
"But I want you!Don't you want me?" I ask him with sweet eyes.
"Honey, I always want you and I think I've already proved it to you this morning...four times.You should be tired at this point"
Steve laughs amused but I sulk again crossing my arms over my chest.
"For God's sake Lily!What did I turn you into?Until a few weeks ago you weren't so...passionate!I almost feel guilty for stealing your innocence"
He laughs and gets out of bed.
He is completely naked.
My eyes are glued to his body.
I watch the muscles of his abdomen contract when he lowers to take his boxers off the floor, I bite my lower lip thinking how until a few minutes ago my tongue followed the contours and then went to wrap itself around his manhood.
He turns his back to me and I lose myself in looking at his big and powerful back, the defined muscles of his legs.
His magnificent, granite ass.
I sigh sadly thinking that today he will leave me to leave for London with Natasha and Sharon.
Sharon Carter.
Her neighbor who hates me.
They will be gone for three days.
When he told me I literally went out of my mind.
It's not that I don't trust Steve, the real problem is Sharon because she has no respect for me and I know she won't think twice about throwing herself into my boyfriend's arms.
I only calmed down when Nat told me she would be on this mission too.
So now I watch him get ready to leave.
I pick up the blanket and use it to cover my body.
I stay still and watch him as he finishes dressing and adds the last few things into his duffel bag.
"You'll miss me?" I ask him in a petulant voice.
Steve laughs again.
"Every single moment" he replies as he puts on his shoes and then he grabs his leather jacket and puts it on.
"Will you think of me even though Sharon will be there with you to court you without restraint?"
If possible Steve laughs even harder, his head tilts back as his left hand rests on his chest.
"Are you jealous, honey?"
"A question is not answered with another question.It's rude"
Steve stops what he's doing and stops laughing he puts his hands on his hips, looking at me seriously.
Our eyes are chained.
Maybe I pissed him off?
Am I exaggerating with my paranoia?
Am I exasperating him?
I watch him closely as he takes off his jacket and approaches the bed.
"Honey, my one and only great love...do you really think I could be interested in any other woman when I have you by my side?"
I know perfectly well that his is a rhetorical question, but I can't help but look down on my hands that at this moment are convulsively crushing the edges of the blanket.
Steve loves me and has shown it to me in many ways but inside me there is always that little insecure part that feels inferior to him.
That little part that always thinks that Steve will leave me sooner or later.
I'm always scared that I'm not good enough.
With a sharp blow he tears the blanket off me and grabbing me by the ankles he drags me to the edge of the bed.
"Steve!" I laugh amused by his impetuousness.
But he still doesn't speak, he kneels on the floor and after spreading my thighs he buries his face between them.
"Steve" I repeat but this time there is no trace of hilarity in my voice.
There is only desire.
Craving.
Lust.
He kisses my inner thigh, sucking my tender flesh.
I'm sure I'll have the mark of a hickey but I don't care.
By now I have so many of those bruises on me that I don't notice them anymore.
Let's say that Steve is a very passionate lover...
Even the others have stopped asking questions about it now, the redness of my face to their questions was a more than eloquent answer.
I moan.
I grab the blanket under me between my fingers when his tongue goes up from my thigh to reach my fold reaching up to the clit where it wraps gently.
A thrill of pleasure hits me and my back arches.
I squeeze his head between my thighs.
And in a moment all my fears, my insecurities vanish.
Now it's just me and Steve.
Just Steve and his love of him for me.
A high moan escapes my lips as I begin to move my hips against his mouth.
Steve licks and sucks my clit giving me blasts of pure ecstasy as his hand works its way up to my pussy.
He just teases me with two fingers and then slowly slides them inside me.
He pushes them all the way by touching that magic point that only he knows.
My heart is beating frantically and my breath becomes short, I moan his name.
More than a moan it is almost a scream.
My hands tighten around his golden locks pushing his head deeper and deeper.
As if to seek more, as to want more.
"Please Steve fuck me!Fuck me one more time" I plead pathetically.
In response, I hear him roar on my skin as he continues to suck and drink my sweet nectar.
His fingers move inside me without any delicacy until I cum.
I continue to ride his face for a few moments following the wave of pleasure just exploded inside me but I don't even have time to recover that Steve goes up with his mouth along my body, leaving a trail of fire made of kisses and bites.
"You are the only one, Lily.The only one" he whispers on my skin covered with sweat and shivering.
He lowers on my lips kissing them greedily, I can feel my taste on his tongue and taken by another rush of passion I kiss him even more passionately tying my arms tightly around his neck.
I hold him close to me as if we could merge.
I feel it moan in my mouth.
I caress his chest through his shirt and with my hands I go down in search of the zip of his pants.
Once I find it I pull it down and pushing his trouser down just enough to release his throbbing erection.
Steve inhales violently, the air in his lungs hisses as my hand closes around his dick and I guide it inside me.
"You will be the only one forever.Until the day I die" he whispers on my lips.
Steve gasps as he slips easily into my body and begins to push at a steady pace.
Our fingers intertwine, squeezing with possession.
I spread my legs as wide as I can by placing my ankles on his ass.
I feel his breath on my neck and his trembling voice whispering sinful words in my ear.
The rhythm of his thrusts increases like that of my breathing and his arms move to the sides of my head aiming at the bed to give more vigor to his thrusts.
"Oh babe...don't stop.Don't stop" I cry out clouded with pleasure.
I feel the waves of orgasm breaking inside me.
Steve stiffens his shoulders and with a last push we cum together overwhelmed by a sea of ​​emotions.
He collapses on me out of breath, kissing me right above my heart.
I caress his hair, breathing in his intoxicating scent, I already know that I will miss his naked body close to mine and the scent of his skin.
I will miss everything about him.
Steve lifts his gaze to plant it in mine, looking at me with such intense love that it closes my stomach in a vise.
Even if I lived a thousand other lives, I am sure that I could never admire more beautiful and intense eyes than his.
"Now I'm late" he smiles at me.
He kisses my lips softly and then he gets up.
He arranges his pants by adjusting his shirt inside them, with a firm step he approaches the mirror and tries to fix his hair.
They look like a nest for all the times I ran my hands through them pulling and squeezing.
I laugh amused.
"What?" he asks me amused.
"Oh nothing...nice hair by the way"
He chuckles.
I watch him as he puts on his jacket again and picking up the bag from the floor he puts it on his shoulder.
"Now I really have to go, honey" he sighs.
I get out of bed quickly grabbing and putting on some panties and a sweater of him.
I approach him and standing up on tiptoe I wrap my arms around his neck.
"I'll miss you.Please pay attention" I whisper.
Steve wraps his arms around me and kisses my head.
"Don't worry it's just a diplomatic visit, nothing will happen" he breaks away from my embrace and bringing his hands to my face kisses me, his thumbs caress my cheeks.
It's a sweet, delicate kiss.
Full of love.
"I'll miss you too Lily.Be careful.I'll be back before you notice my absence"
I feel my heart tighten.
Since we got together we have never been apart for all this time.
"The bed will be too big without you...I'll feel so alone" I sniffles as a wave of sadness overwhelms me.
His sweet baby blue eyes look at me with extreme sweetness.
"It's only three days, they'll go by quickly I promise you.See you soon, my love" he whispers on my lips before leaving me with one last sweet kiss.
"I love you Lily"
"I love you too"
I watch him walk out the door and walk away from me.
I try not to think about the time we will spend away from each other and without even realizing it, my thoughts go to the man I once believed my father.
It's been three weeks since that psycho McTavish broke into the Tower.
I tried hard not to let Steve know how shaken I still feel about what happened.
How I live in terror fearing a reappearance of him.
Obviously, as soon as my father found out about what happened, he freaked out and insisted he wanted to talk to Tony.
I have no idea what they said to each other but I'm assuming nothing good because when they came out of Tony's lab Strange was angrier than when he arrived.
Steve went on a rampage in all of this because he felt left out.
I admit that Strange and Steve are exaggerating a bit but there is nothing I can do.
So...even that small possibility that the two of them can get along is totally vanished.
When I tried to talk to my dad he literally told me that if I wanted to stay with him I should avoid mentioning Steve.
According to him he should have protected me better.
He should have foreseen such a thing.
And that if I had been to the Sanctuary with him McTavish would never have gotten this close to me.
So on the following Fridays in which I spent my days with him, we never went back to that topic.
Resigned I sigh.
God how much I hate this situation.
A knock on the door brings me back to the present.
"Come in" I scream while sitting cross-legged on the bed.
The door opens and Bucky's head appears.
"Hey doll!What are you doing?"
He walks in and closes the door behind him.
He walks over to the bed and sits down next to me.
"Nothing.I thought"
"From your face I would say they were unpleasant thoughts" my friend replies.
I sigh.
Even Bucky now knows me so well that he knows when something is wrong.
"Do you think they will ever get along?" I ask with a swollen heart of displeasure.
"Do you mean Strange and Steve?"
I just nod.
"I don't know"
I throw my back on the bed and put my arm to cover my eyes.
"Oh my God!I feel so helpless...this whole situation is frustrating" I admit for the first time.
I have never vented on this story.
I love both of them too much to openly side with either side, so I just swallowed my displeasure.
I exchanged just a few opinions with Natasha but I never felt like talking about it openly.
"I love them both and I just want them to understand that they have no reason to fight.They don't have to win my love because they both already have it.Why do they behave like this?"
Bucky studies me carefully, opens his mouth as if he wants to say something but immediately shuts up.
I lift myself up on my elbows looking at him intently.
"What?" I ask.
He looks around avoiding my gaze.
"Nothing" he replies pretending a certainty he doesn't have.
"Spit the toad, Barnes" I threaten him sitting up and pointing a finger at his chest.
"Okay but promise me you won't get mad"
I raise an eyebrow at his request.
"Just promise it" he insists.
I roll my eyes.
"Yeah, I promise"
His cobalt blue eyes stare into mine and with all the seriousness he has he replies "Your father is a dick"
I am incredulous at his words.
I have no idea how to react to his words.
I would like to punch him for so offending Strange but I would also like to laugh.
At the end I stammer a simple "What?!?!?"
Bucky shrugs indifferently.
"I know that you love him and that he is your father but he has set himself in an irritating way from the beginning without Steve ever doing anything to deserve it"
I throw myself back on the bed, snorting.
"My dad just wants to protect me"
"Steve just wants you to be safe too" Bucky replies immediately.
I snort loudly.
"They're both two fucking dickhead" I mutter angrily.
Bucky laughs.
After a few moments he gets out of bed holding out his hand to me.
"Hey, do you want to have lunch together?I am hungry and two blocks from here they have opened a new chinese restaurant, would you like to try it with me?"
I sigh and, continuing to look at the ceiling, I answer him.
"I know what you are doing.There is no need.You don't have to babysit me if you don't feel like it"
I know Steve promised me that he would never limit my freedom but I'm just as sure he asked Bucky and everyone else to keep an eye on me.
"Lily I'm just inviting you to lunch.If you don't want to come, that's okay" he withdraws the hand he had offered me and walks towards the door.
Shit.
I didn't mean to offend him.
"Bucky wait!" I call him before he can leave.
"I'm hungry too.Give me 10 minutes and I'll see you downstairs, okay?"
His smile widens.
"Ok doll.I'll wait for you downstairs" so he says he leaves my room.
It is useless to remain closed here, this will not make Steve come back sooner and above all it will not make my problems disappear.
I wear a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt, after putting on a pair of Converse and having tied my hair in a ponytail I run downstairs.
I call the elevator and in the meantime Tony joins me.
"Hey little Strange where are you going?" he asks me kindly giving me one of the most beautiful smiles of him.
"At lunch.With Bucky.Will you join us?" I kindly ask.
I wouldn't mind spending a little more time with Tony.
In the meantime, the elevator doors open and Tony gives me the step like a true gentleman so I enter first followed immediately after by him.
"I'd like to but I have work to do and Bruce is waiting for me"
"Don't worry!Let's do it for next time, ok?"
"Sure" Tony replies with a crooked smile.
The elevator goes down and I feel a question press against my lips to be released.
"Tony?"
He looks up from the papers he holds in his hand.
"What's up?" he replies by looking at me over his glasses.
"Do you think there is the remote possibility that you will tell me what my father told you?"
In response he laughs.
"Why would you want to know?"
I don't know how to answer him so I look back in front of me while remaining silent.
Why would I want to know?
I don't know either.
Curiosity?
Maybe.
But mostly I think it's because I'm tired of being kept in the dark about things that concern me personally.
The elevator doors open, I have arrived at my destination.
As I am about to exit the lift doors, Tony grabs me by the wrist and presses a button to lock the lift.
"He asked me to persuade you to move in with him.According to him you would be safer there.You know your dad is a conceited bastard.No offense"
I'm speechless.
Did my father really ask Stark this?
"And what have you answered?" I ask, my voice sounds full of anxiety in the empty corridor.
Honestly, I'm not so sure I want to know the answer to my question.
"That I wouldn't have done it.That you are safe here and that if you want to leave it must be your choice.Not his nor mine"
Tony remains silent and looks at me intently trying to understand my reaction to his words.
"But if I can give you some advice" he continues "I would tell you to go"
I had no idea that Tony did not want me here, maybe my presence has caused too many problems.
Too many threats.
Getting rid of me would make their life easier.
I lower my head keeping my eyes down, I feel mortified.
Tony's hand rests on my shoulder, squeezing it slightly.
"Lily don't misunderstand my words.I am glad that you live here.You are a sunny and nice girl and you always put a lot of good mood.And Steve is really happy to always have you in the middle of his feet but Strange is your father and it's only fair that you spend time with him too.I'm telling you because if I could go back I would spend a lot more time with my old man"
I sigh.
I know he is right but I feel there is something holding me back.
"What if Steve hates me for this choice?" I ask frightened.
Tony laughs heartily.
"Who Steve?Captain Good Manners?Oh c'mon!That man is crazy about you, he couldn't ever hate you"
We are silent for a few seconds then Tony speaks again.
"Listen to me, it doesn't have to do with what Strange wants or what Rogers wants.Here the only thing that matters is what you want.What does your heart want?"
I grab his hand and squeeze it tightly.
"Thanks Tony"
"You're welcome kid" he walks away from me and goes back into the elevator.
I smile at him as the doors close bringing him down to his lab.
I haven't talked to Steve about my future Guardian training anymore, and my dad isn't even aware of my choice.
Maybe tomorrow I could talk to him about it and take advantage of it to talk about to move to the Sanctuary.
Because of this I am sure, my stay at the Sanctuary would be temporary.
I want to live with Steve.
My place is next to him.
I reach the lobby and right in front of the large glass door that leads to the outside is Bucky.
But he is not alone.
With him is Sam.
And it looks like they are arguing.
I approach them, the rubber of my shoes creaking on the polished marble floor.
"Hey guys" I greet them raising my hand and stopping between them.
Sam puts his arm around me.
"Hi Lily" he greets me with a smile and then he turns to Bucky.
"We ask her directly" Sam tells him with a raised eyebrow.
Bucky rolls his eyes in response.
"What do you have to ask me?" I ask curious.
"Is it a problem for you if I join you for lunch?"
"Of course it's not a problem Sam.I like you"
Sam puffs up his chest with pride, reserving a victorious look at his friend.
"She likes me, understand?"
"Ok ok!I got it!C'mon I'm hungry" Bucky replies, passing us without deigning a glance.
"Come on dude!Are you jealous?" Sam yells at him laughing, I join in his laugh and Bucky's pace picks up.
"Don't be like that James!" I scream amused.
"You know I like you too"
But he doesn't turn around.
In response he shows us his shiny Vibranium middle finger.
