Kendra had to wait for a few hours, ending up with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich while she waited. It was nearly ten at night before Steve came walking through the door. His eyes wide when he noticed Kendra sitting on the chair with her eyes slowly closing.

"Kendra?" Steve questioned, causing her to jump slightly. Eyes wide open now. "I thought you'd be out late- nothing is wrong, right?" Steve asked as he walked up to her, tossing his keys on the table on his way to her. He kneeled in front of her and looked her over before she even went to respond.

"No- everything is fine, Steve. I just- I was thinking maybe you could come with me to retrieve the Mind stone and the twins." Kendra breathed out, worried that Steve wouldn't be able to come with her. "Unless of course you have something else going on. I think Fury was going to get you and Bucky for a mission.." But what she didn't see was that Steve was smiling at her.

"Kendra.." Steve said softly, stopping her from speaking again. "I can help you. Fury has Bucky out with Clint right now- but I can get them to focus on this-"

"No, Bucky can't help- Hydra is still in his brain, it'd be too much of a risk for now." Kendra told him. Steve sighed. He knew she was right.

"How do we get Hydra out of his mind?" He asked confused on how they would ever be able to do it.

"Theres a person in Wakanda that can help- but not yet. It's not time yet." She explained which caused Steve to sigh. Kendra placed her hand on his cheek carefully causing Steve to lean into her touch. "It'll be okay. I won't let you lose him again." Steve smiled before leaning up and pressing his lips to hers.

Kendra smiled against his lips, leaning down to him as her hand moved from his cheek to the back of his head. Edging herself closer to him as she got near the edge of the couch. Steve moved his hands to her thighs, lifting her off of the couch before moving himself to sit down with her straddling his lap. His hands rubbed up and down her thighs before moving to her sides, under her shirt. Admiring the smoothness of her olive skin. The smallest sound bubbled out of Kendra's throat at the warmth of Steve's hands on her.

That small noise seemed to trigger something in Steve, his hands tightening on her sides before moving her forward a bit- grinding her against him just barely. Kendra broke the kiss as a whimper broke through her lips, the friction he had caused was not enough- and if anything just caused a need in her to flicker. Like he had caused a spark while knocking two stones together. A flame inside lighting up her insides.

Steve stared up at Kendra, her eyes closed and head tilted back slightly. Steve moved her again, groaning as she let out another whimper which was followed by a small moan. A smirk pulling at his lips. Kendra moved her hands to his shoulders before bringing herself down on him, grinding up against him slowly.

"Kendra-" Steve grunted out lowly, causing Kendra's eyes to snap open. It was like she was looking right at him as a smirk pulled at her lips. But Steve knew better, she didn't actually see him- well she did with her other senses. Steve moved his hands to grab hers, bringing them up to his face.

Kendra paused for a moment before her smirk dropped into a smile, moving her small fingers over his features. Feeling the sharpness of his jaw. The way his chin jutted out just the tiniest bit. The slight stubble he had from going two days without shaving. Tracing the outline of his lips as they parted just a bit. Following up his jawline, she could make out his sideburns which were trimmed neatly. Her fingers danced under his eyes where his cheekbones poked out nicely. Before moving to his nose and then moving up more to his hairline before she leaned down and met his lips with her own.

Steve pressed his lips against her, moving them against each other as his hands moved to behind her. His hands gripping her ass before pulling her closer to him. Kendra moaned against his lips as she began grinding against him. Enjoying the friction between them.

Steve grabbed the edge of her shirt, pulling at it before she pulled back, helping him remove it. His blue eyes dropping down to look her over in admiration. His hands moving over her skin, her stomach, her ribs- Kendra hummed in satisfaction before recapturing Steve's lips with hers. Her hips moving against his as his hands mesmerized every flaw or perfection of her torso. His hands gripped her sides, guiding her in her movements. Both of them moaning at the feeling between them.

They broke apart as a knock echoed from the front door. Steve looked up at Kendra, his breathing coming out a bit heavy from the sexual energy coming off of them. Kendra sighed as the knocking came again.

"I'm sorry." She mumbled as she got off of him. Steve sighed as well as he ran his hand over his face and into his hair, before he stood up and followed Kendra to the door after she had replaced her shirt back on her. Adjusting himself before she opened the door.

"Hey I was- Oh, I didn't know you had company." Natasha stood in the doorway, her eyes on Steve behind Kendra. Her eyebrow raised in a suggestive matter. Steve cleared his throat awkwardly.

"What are you doing here, Nat?" Steve asked, his voice still holding a breathy low tone to it even with trying to hide it. But Nat, being Nat, could see through him.

"Well, I was thinking we could have a girls night since I had heard Barnes was on a mission- that I had thought you went on as well... But clearly I'm interrupting something." She smirked at the couple as Kendra rolled her eyes.

"You did interrupt, but that's alright." Kendra spoke up causing Steve to sigh. "Don't worry- we'll resume that another time. But Natalia, please come in." Nat snorted before coming inside. Steve narrowing his eyes at her in a warning. But Nat of course ignored that warning.

"If you two want to finish up-" She made eye contact with Steve as she spoke, a smirk on her face showing she was trying not to laugh. "Then go for it. I can wait out here- maybe turn the tv up a bit." Kendra laughed, shaking her head.

"It's okay. We can have a movie night before bed. Steve and I have a mission to do tomorrow-"

"Oh, I'll come with then. Maybe I can make it a bit easier." Nat volunteered.

"That sounds perfect." Kendra smiled before going in to explain the mission to Nat as Steve made the popcorn for the movie.
