Till the End of Time-

Chapter 40: Watched

"Let's play a game!", I tell Steve after I order us a couple rounds of shots.

"I'm in, what's the game?".

"Well, we ask each other questions and if you don't answer you have to take a shot", I tell him simply.

He nods his head, "Okay, let's do it. Do you want to go first?".

"Sure! Okay let me think... Who is your least favorite avenger?".

He lets out a loud laugh, "Ahhh, I'm not sure I should answer that".

"Oh come on Stevie, it's a simple question! And it doesn't mean that you hate them or don't like them, but just who's your least favorite?", I prompt hoping for an answer.

Steve glances around making sure that no one can hear him, "I suppose if I had to mention someone it would be Vision. But only because he still walks through walls occasionally and it scares the hell out of me!".

I start laughing at his answer, "Okay I don't blame you. On my first day here he scared the shit out of me".

"He really needs to get that under control", he says shaking his head as he chuckles and takes a sig of his beer.

"Has he ever caught you doing something embarrassing?", I ask.

"Wait that's two questions sweetheart, it's my turn", he tells me, but I feel like he just wanted to avoid answering the question,"What was the first vision you had of me?".

I place my elbow on the counter and lean on my hand, "Good question. I saw you in ice and your location, so I told my aunt and that's when they went to go find you".

"You found me", he corrects me making me grin.

"Yeah, I suppose I did. And if I'm being honest that was the beginning of the crush that I had on you", I confess shyly.

"You've liked me all these years?", he asks surprised.

I get even more embarrassed, "At first I was attracted to your looks, but the more visions I had of you the more I in a strange way got to know you. I thought you were an amazing man. I did stalk your files to find out more about you, and then after that I kept getting visions of you just doing normal things like sketching and such".

His eyes search my face for a moment before answering, "I have to confess, that's how it was with me as well. When I first saw you I thought you were the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, and then I couldn't help but try to find out everything about you. The more I got to know you from a far and then in person the more I couldn't deny how I felt about you".

We both gaze at each other with the same expression of love. However the longer we stare it starts to turn into desire.

He places his hand on my naked thigh and makes slow short movements, causing my breath to hitch. I guess that's him telling me that he wants more too right now.

"On second thought, why don't we down these and then head back?", I ask as I give him a knowing look.

The lust in his eyes grow more after I say this, "I think that's a great idea".

By time we make it back to the compound the sexual tension between us has grown, and I can tell both of us are itching to feel a release. We held off on the way back as we continued to play the game, but we still had the same subconscious thought of what we really wanted to do when we got back playing in our heads.

I kick off my boots in the kitchen before walking barefoot to the fridge to get some water. "The compound feels unusually quiet with everyone gone", I comment to Steve as the silence of our home fills the air.
