Spiderman's Sister

I'll never touch him again

Even if I haven't exactly expressed myself clearly so far, Wanda seems to know immediately what happened. Who knows, maybe she read it in my mind too.

Wanda: Oh my god. Did you......

She gestures from me to our bed and waggles her eyebrows suggestively.

Victoria: Yep.

I've never regretted having sex with anyone as much as I do right now. Not because it wasn't good, but because of what happened afterwards.

Wanda: And after that Bucky didn't feel good anymore?

Victoria: No. At least not immediately. Right after that he felt really good and was totally happy. But then..... during the night he didn't feel well anymore. He writhed in pain and screamed.

I see his pained face in front of me and I can't stop myself from crying again. Why was I so stupid and gave in? Wanda, on the other hand, seems to be more amused than shocked.

Wanda: I have to admit, you resisted him longer than I thought. He really didn't make it easy for you.

Victoria: That's not funny Wanda. I should have known better, I should have stood my ground. Just because I didn't, he might die now.

Wanda: But you weren't and you can't undo that now.

Victoria: That's not really helpful, Wanda.

Wanda: What? Would you rather hear that this is all your fault? It's not, you both should have known better.

She puts her arm around my shoulders again and pulls me to her.

Wanda: I just want to say that I can understand that you gave in after all these weeks in which he really tried everything to seduce you.

Victoria: I swear I won't touch him again until Bruce clears him for physical activity.

Wanda: Do you really think Bucky will make it easier for you this time? I'd be surprised if he doesn't try again as soon as he's allowed out of the hospital wing.

I actually fear that too. But if that is really the case, I will draw the appropriate conclusions. I won't do this to myself again and see my sulking boyfriend for weeks. And I have an idea how to avoid that.

Victoria: Well, this time I'll just make sure none of us are tempted.

Wanda: What do you mean?

Victoria: It's probably best if I move back to my house for now.

Wanda: Let's just wait and see. I wouldn't rush anything, maybe he's understood now.

I really doubt that, although I hope so. I mean, I love sex with him at least as much, but I still wouldn't risk my health for it. Wanda slides back on the bed a little so she can lean against the headboard of the bed. Then she pats the mattress next to her.

Wanda: Come on, try to get some sleep. At the moment there is nothing you can do but wait.

I know she's right, but with the best will in the world I don't know how I should sleep now. Nevertheless, I slide to her and snuggle up to her. It's good to know that I'm not alone right now.

Victoria: I don't think I can sleep now.

I'm dead tired though. She pulls the covers over both of us and rubs my back soothingly.

Wanda: Try it. I'll stay here and wake you up as soon as there's news.

Victoria: Thank you Wanda.

After a few seconds she starts humming some melody. A gentle and somehow lulling melody. And in fact I'm suddenly so tired that, despite the nagging worries about James, I can't keep my eyes open and fall asleep.
