The Hydra Conspiracy - (Peggy Carter x OC)

4. I'll Never Smile Again

Peggy slowly stirred and a little smile spread across her face as she felt herself clinging to Andrew's side. She slowly moved the stray hair from her face and leaned her head back down against the pillow. Her face was just above Andrew's shoulder. She couldn't believe that last night had actually happened. All those emotions. All that love being held in for a painfully long time. She'd never felt like that...not even close. It was more than pleasure. It was...satisfaction. Finally, Peggy could be who she wanted...with who she wanted.

Peggy moved down slightly and gently kissed Andrew's shoulder. She was still amazed by how soft his skin was. How could that even be? It didn't make sense to her. She ran her fingers over scars on his forearms and chest. He'd been through so much...it broke her heart to think about the pain he must've gone through.

"You'll have to pay extra to touch, ma'am."

"Hilarious" Peggy snickered and slunk back to her comfortable spot as close to Andrew as she could be. "I didn't know you were awake."

"I'm not."

Peggy took a deep breath and moved her closest leg over Andrew's.

"Could you be any closer?" Andrew spoke through a smile.

"I could certainly try" Peggy smirked naughtily.

"Easy" Andrew sighed. "I'm trying to go back to sleep here."

"Alright..." Peggy took a loud deep breath. "Or you could get up."

"And why, do tell, would I do that?"

"Because you enjoy being with me?"

"I am with you."

"You know what I mean" Peggy huffed.

"I don't" Andrew replied plainly.

"Andrew!" Peggy whined unhappily.

"Peg, I'm sleepy."

"But--"

"Here, watch this" Andrew sighed and effortlessly pushed Peggy onto her back. He rolled over and clung to her instead.

"Oh!" Peggy giggled excitedly. "This is...nice" she smiled happily.

Andrew wrapped his arm around Peggy's waist and laid his head on her chest. "See? Now, go to sleep."

"Did you have to lay right there?" Peggy chuckled.

"Best pillows in the house" Andrew grinned proudly and turned his head to kiss Peggy's breast over her pajamas.

"It tickles" Peggy let out a tiny laugh.

"Sleep, Margaret. Now, please."

Peggy smiled and ran her hands through Andrew's hair. She was cozy and the warm happy feeling in her midsection certainly helped with her comfort. Maybe she would close her eyes...just for a while...

Peggy took a deep breath and realized she'd finally woken up.

"Are you watching me sleep?"

"...no" Andrew murmured.

"I can feel your eyes" Peggy smiled happily.

Andrew leaned up and smooched Peggy's cheek.

"I felt that too" she giggled.

Peggy moved her head to kiss him back. Each time their lips met, it was like the first time. Peggy's breath would always be snatched away and Andrew's heart always skipped a beat. It felt right. It felt like this was the piece that was missing from their lives.

Peggy eventually pulled away and took a deep breath. "So, you're awake now?"

"Mhmm" Andrew smiled as his hand snuck under Peggy's pajama top.
