Siren

A little drama for effect

Fixing her hair and makeup Juno checked herself over one more time in her bathroom mirror. Minus the plumpness of her lips and the glossy satisfied look in her eyes it doesn't look too much like she's just had the best sex of her life. Movement from the doorway has her shifting her eyes over to see a still shirtless Bucky. He was just standing there watching her get ready like the old days with a small smile on his lips. Raising an eyebrow at him she turned around. "What is it?"

He shakes his head at her crossing his arms as he leans his hip on the doorway. "You're just so damn beautiful, Jun."

The compliment makes her blush. She doesn't know why, he's told her that a million times before. Biting her lips she bobs her head down and tucks her hair behind her ear. "We should get back to the party."

Juno can see from the look on his face that that wasn't what he was hoping to hear, but he doesn't say anything. He just stands up straight and goes to put on his shirt. Bucky's back was covered in her fingernail marks from when she got a little too enthusiastic. Shuddering she clenches her thighs together at the remembered feeling of him pounding into her no less than ten minutes ago. Fuck, she was screwed and not in the pleasureable way. Once he was fully dressed he stood there unsure what to say.

He was leaving what this was up to her. She didn't want to hurt him, but she wasn't ready for them to be together. She might not ever be ready, but Juno knew she didn't want him to not be in her life anymore. "Do you think we could find the middle ground? More than teammates, somewhere in the friend's territory." The smile he gives her makes her heart flutter.

"I'd like that and just so you know.. I'm available day or night for.." Bucky tilts his head towards the bed implying a friends with benefits situation. Laughing she shakes her head at him.

"Yeah, that's probably not a good idea, but thanks for the offer." Striding over to the door she opens it and walks out knowing he's right behind her.

"You think I'm kidding, but I'm not." He calls out to her as they walk back towards the elevators. Stopping, she turns to face him. Bucky steps into her cupping her lower jaw and the side neck. "This heat that we have doesn't just go away after one time, but I can see you aren't ready for that yet. I'm just saying when you are, I'll be here for you." Leaning down he ghosts his lips over hers making her breath hitch before it can become more he steps away and presses the call button.

They wait in silence and are quiet the whole ride back up to the party. Before the doors open he yanks her over to him and kisses her deeply. His tongue, hands and body dominating hers in every way and then he pulls away to stand next to her like nothing happened just as the doors open. Bucky walked out like he hadn't just rocked her world in under fifteen seconds. Slightly dazed Juno walked out of the elevator on shaky legs over to the bar. Flagging down the bartender she asks him for a double tequila on the rocks.

Gulping it back she savors the slight burn and orders another. This one she sips on not wanting to get wasted now that she had Bucky waiting on the other side of the room. She knew if she got even remotely tipsy she'd drag him back to her room and let him have his way with her. No thank you. She had already made it complicated enough without making a fool of herself in front of all of their friends. Turning to face the room, Juno scanned the crowd, her eyes landing on Bucky's ever watchful steel blue eyes.

They spoke volumes as he looked her up and down and then flicked his tongue out to lick his upper lip. The gesture reminding her that his face was between her thighs less than an hour ago. Shit. He couldn't look at her like that or everyone would know what they'd just done.

"Where'd you take off to?" Juno jumped when Natasha came up to her seemingly out of nowhere.

"I was talking to Bucky." Nat's green eyes widen in surprised shock at her casual statement. "We've agreed to kind of be friends." Juno shrugs, taking a large sip of her drink.
