Till the End of Time-

Chapter 42: Want

I take a deep breath before answering, "Yeah I suppose we should...", I trail off not knowing where to start.

"Rosie, I didn't mean to walk in on you guys. Steve told me to keep clear and I tried to, but obviously on my way back in...", he sighs before continuing, "I didn't mean to watch, I'm sorry".

I look him over as he talks and notice how he doesn't make much eye contact with me. Whether out of embarrassment or some other emotion I can't tell.

I lean forward a little so that he would make eye contact with me, "I figured that's what happened", I reply softly with a small smile, "But I think that I should be apologizing as well".

He frowns at my words, "What do you have to be sorry for? I was the one that interrupted you and Steve. Did you tell him by the way?".

"No, I haven't told him yet. Once we got back to my room I kind of forgot about it-", I take a moment to swallow before continuing, "and I was apologizing for watching you as well".

I can't bare to look at him as I admit that. In the heat of the moment with Steve I liked that Bucky was watching and the fact that him and I share some type of relationship in the past made me curious about what his reaction would be.

He tilts his head as he examines me for a moment before replying, "Yeah you were, weren't you... Why though?".

I feel flustered by that question, "I- uh... well... I- I didn't really mind if I'm being honest".

He continues to hold my eyes captive with his as though willing me to share all the thoughts in my head with him.

"So you liked it", he says as more of a statement than a question.

I'm surprised by his boldness for saying that, but the longer I stare into those steel eyes of his the more I start to heat up inside.

I laugh trying to break the tension, "Maybe Steve is bringing out a more kinky side in me that I didn't know I had".

He licks his lower lip before smiling, "I think you've always had that side in you".

My core flutters at his words and the need to be taken rises within me.

"And how would you know?", I question as I raise an eyebrow.

"I have a feeling about things concerning you remember?".

I place my elbow on the counter and lean my head against my fist, "You know I'm beginning to wonder about that. It's too much of a coincidence that you know so much about me, and almost unfair considering that I don't know that much about you".

He looks at me amused, "What do you want to know?".

"Steve told me about what you and him would do back in the 40s when you both liked the same girl... Who was the one that started that?", I boldly ask him.

He opens his mouth and then closes it surprised, "He told you about that?".

I nod my head, "We don't really like to keep secrets". After I say that I feel a pang in my chest as I remember the one secret I am keeping from him.

"I suppose I was the one. When I realized we liked the same girl I suggested we just share her", he says not breaking eye contact with me.

"Yeah he told me... He also said that Peggy was one of them. Did you like her as well or was that just him?", I curiously ask.

He looks away thinking for a moment before answering, "Just him. She was a good looking dame that liked to take charge, but even though she wanted me to, she just wasn't what I was looking for in a woman".
