Love & War

Barnes

Chapter 11:

I woke up to the sound of light snoring and the feeling of extreme heat. I was heavily sweating and it almost felt as though I was suffocating. I open my eyes, trying to clear my sight by rapidly blinking.

I wasn't able to move my arms or legs because something was keeping them restrained. Once I was able to somewhat see my surroundings, I realized what was trapping me in this manic state.

James was laying on top of me, he was sound asleep, snoring away. I move my head to try and look at his face. A peaceful look lay on his face as soft snores escape his mouth. I feel bad for having to wake him up, but I can't fucking breath.

"James, wake up." I say and he continues to snore. "James, please wake up." I plead, now shaking his body a bit. Still, no response. I attempt to move him off of me but he was too heavy. His cold metal arm  wraps around me body making me groan.

Take the arm

Was the only thing that came to mind. Sure, I could take his metal arm and although that would be absolutely hilarious, I am a better person.

"Wake. The. Fuck. Up." I groan louder, trying to wake his ass up, but there was no response.

Holy shit...he's dead. Don't be ridiculous y/n, you can hear his loud ass snoring

He's like a big baby. I would have found this scenario cute if he wasn't on the verge of murdering me. I try moving my arm out from under him and thankfully, I succeed.

I place my hand in his hair and slowly start stroking his head. I run my fingers down his smooth hair, making sure not to pull it. He moves his head in pleasure as he slightly opens his eyes.

"Y/N?" He calls my name in a deep voice.

Finally

"Morning, sunshine." I giggle. Our faces were insanely close and the man was fully laying on top of me so I couldn't help but think of...specific things, not to mention he was practically naked.

"What are you doing up?" He asks, still not moving from his position.

"What are you doing on top of me?" I retort jokingly. His face immediately turns red as he realizes his current position. He quickly moves off of me, letting out a chuckle.

"I'm sorry, doll. I must've rolled over onto you."

"Don't worry about it, just try not to kill me next time." I laugh, looking over at him.

Next time? Did you really just give him the opportunity to do that again?

I let my eyes wander down his body. The thin blanket was covering his waist down but it left his beautiful torso uncovered, showing off his abs. My eyes lingered around his body, taking in every stunning little detail.

The small sweat droplets that only made his body glisten more than it already did, the veins that were around his lower body, the scars that lay upon his upper chest.

Why did he have to be so attractive? I bring my eyes back up to meet his, only to find that he was already looking at me.

"It's rude to stare." He smirks.

"Don't act like you don't do the same to me when I'm not looking." I state, a slight smile to my lips.

It's true, I've caught James staring at me on plenty of occasions but I never said anything because I'm not a hypocrite.

"Can you blame me?" He asks, furrowing his eyebrows, his eyes becoming darker. I stare at him with a new sensation of lust. I'm assuming he noticed because he moved closer to me and slightly sat up, using his elbow to prop himself up. "You are unbelievably gorgeous."
