Find Me / Save Me (Bucky x Reader)

Eighty-One

A/N: It feels bittersweet that this story has come to an end. But I wanted to give you all a great ending. Please be aware that this chapter contains explicit sex scenes... Which I usually really don't do, but as I started writing the chapter it was so detailed, I just had to continue that detail into the bedroom. I hope you have enjoyed this story as much as I have enjoyed writing it! <3

Dim candlelight and soft fairy lights. Happy chatter, laughter. The sounds of small feet running around with squeals of joy. The clatter of fine china and cutlery. Soft music playing as a beautiful bride and dashing groom swayed in the open space designated for the dance floor. I closed my eyes and felt the warmth of all the bright souls in the room.

"Another round of applause for the new Mr. & Mrs. Rogers!" The MC's voice broke me from my moment. I stood from my chair, letting the black silk dress fall back into place as I clapped softly for my two best friends. Looking around I catch James' eye from across the room, he's caught our little runaway princess in her poufy off white flower girl dress. She was off causing trouble with Morgan and Clint's brood no doubt.

I let a content feeling wash over me at the whole scene before me. Months had passed since I've returned, and after an adjustment period things have started to settle into a semblance of normalcy. I still can't get stop seeing souls, or feel the push of the Soul Stone's desire to claim them. But I push my control over it every day to control its urges.

After taking time to get over all the turmoil we went through, and rebuilding the compound, we finally got to today. The ceremony was short and sweet, out by the lake in the compound. I convinced Nat it was time to give that lake better memories than what it had been previously linked with, and I was surprised to have her agree. Tony, decided to give the compound an overhaul during the rebuild and conveniently built a ballroom space much to Steve and Nat's delight. A private, secure setting, perfect for a family wedding.

The music was pouring out the speakers, drinks flowing, laughter and happiness was present in every corner. It honestly couldn't get better than this.

A warm, callused hand wrapped around my waist and pulled me in to a strong hold. "Have I told you how gorgeous you look today?" His breath was warm on my neck and the cold metal of his left hand on my hip send shivers through the black silk.

"Only about a hundred times. Although I do believe the bride is the most beautiful woman here tonight." I chuckle as I turn in his embrace to face him. I stop breathing when I look into his eyes, taken back by the sight of him yet again today. His eyes are sparkling under the warm lights, a hint of mischief in them. His face is clean shaven, hair coifed back perfectly. His body framed perfectly in the extremely well-tailored black suit, that practically begged against the strain of his muscular form.

"Mm yeah... Natasha looks great and all. But I only have eyes for you doll." He whispered as his warm hand tucked in a loose hair that fell from my low bun. His words caused a flutter in my stomach, something he was quite good at doing to me.

The party music gave way to a slow song, one I recognized too well. I cocked an eyebrow up at my husband whose mischief was now also showing in the smirk on his lips. God those lips... I quickly looked down to compose myself.

"I know this song..." I whispered coyly, peeking a glimpse at him from between my lashes.

He held both hands firmly on my hips and leaned in close to my ear. "I may have bribed the DJ... dance with me doll." I could feel the goosebumps forming on my skin as I lost all coherent words and just nodded in response. He backed away and his smirk grew further as he held out a hand for me to take. An invitation to the dance floor. Without hesitation I took the invitation and was quickly whisked away into a warm embrace.
