TRIGGER WARNING: SELF DOUBT SELF HARM SUICIDAL THOUGHTS ROUGH CONSENSUAL SEX

Rain was laughing at a story Nat was telling at lunch when a tall blonde came up, "Well if it isn't the Russian slut. I didn't know they let your kind in here."
Rain sat up, "I'm sorry who the fuck are you?"
Nat chuckled, "Easy Rainy. Carter when did you get back in town? I thought you were told not to return."
Carter rolled her eyes and ignored Nat, "I came back to talk to Steve and Bucky. I'm sure they've missed me. I heard they were slumming it with some plain jane. I am sure they're ready to take me back. I'm Sharon Carter and who are you?"
Rain laughed. She took in the woman before her. Bottle blonde[roots were showing] tallish and slim waisted. Rain hated her.
Rain stood to give her a good view, "Me? So glad you asked." She tossed her napkin on the table put a hand on her hip and using the other to point at herself, "I'm Rain Creek. The 'plain jane' Steve and Bucky have been slumming it with."
Carter scoffed, "Oh... I figured they were desperate, but really they picked a-"
Nat and Wanda stood, "Watch your fucking mouth Carter."
Rain laughed, "That's right Steve and Bucky picked a chubby frumpy nobody over you. Must hurt? You know Steve told me the other day he liked fucking me because I didn't just lie there as if I were a dead duck like their ex... Oh that's you! Damn... You even look like a bad lay. If you need some pointers..."
Carter lunged, but both Nat and Wanda stopped her, "You fucking bitch! I'll kill you!"
Rain laughed, "Better people have tried. Let her go girls let's see if she can fight better than she can fuck."
Nat and Wanda were fighting laughter as Carter stepped back.
Clint came rushing up, "Carter I think you should leave. I've seen Rain in a fight... You'd lose... Badly."
Carter tried to straighten herself, "It's fine. I'm going to Steve's office anyway."
Rain felt anger rise, "Remind him it's Bucky's birthday and we promised him a very special show."
Carter turned back and fumed before stomping off.
Nat hugged her. Wanda patted her arm, "Are you ok?"
Rain shook her head. Clint sighed, "Steve will never see her. Nor Bucky."
Rain was losing her bravdo, "It's their life. I won't tell them who they can or can't see."
Wanda and Nat exchanged a look, "Let's head home."
Clint got the ladies to their car, "I'll follow you and see you at the house."
Clint watched them drive off and called Steve, "Steve we have a problem."
🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🥀🌹🥀🌹🥀🌹🥀🌹🥀
Steve picked up his phone and heard Clint, "What do you mean we have a problem?"
Steve listened as Clint explained the incident.
"Fuck! Ok thanks Clint. I am on my way home."
Steve stood and headed out the door stopping at Laura's desk, "Until further notice Bucky and I are not taking any meetings with anyone outside of the company. And if Sharon Carter tries to show up you have permission to throw her out; physically if necessary."
Laura smiled, "Can I do it for fun?"
Steve smiled, "You know it."
Steve texted Bucky and gave him a heads up.
Bucky texted back a slur of curses before promising to wrap up the out of town business and hurry home.
🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🥀🌹🥀🌹🥀🌹🥀🌹🥀
Rain told Wanda and Nat she was fine and sent them off. Once a lone though she slid to the floor and began to cry.
Doubt and hurt crept up her spine.
She wasn't anything special; she knew that. Her uncle never said it out loud, but she knew her only worth to him was what she could gain him through a marriage. It's why she was only a pawn.
Maybe she should have just jumped from the bell tower as a teen.
In anger she threw a glass and it shattered. She picked up a piece and held it tight as it cut her fingers and palm. The blood dripped on to the floor.
Rain sniffled and brought it over to her wrist....
🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🥀🌹🥀🌹🥀🌹🥀🌹🥀
Steve ran over to her as fast as he could sliding across the floor taking the glass shard from her before she could cut herself, "Oh my Rain drop what did that bitch say to you."
Rain shook her head, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
She hiccuped, "I..."
Steve kissed her temple and stood her up and walked into the kitchen to clean her cut fingers and palm, "Baby girl talk to me."
Rain blinked, "You can do better than me. I'm not worth-"
Steve knelt before her, "Rain Creek you listen to me right now. You are worth everything. You're priceless."
Rain shook her head, "I'm not. I'm just the frumpy nobody you're slumming with."
Steve gripped her arms, "Did she tell you that? God damn that two faced cunt! Rain you are beautiful. You have more class and grace than the damn queen! I should know I've met her."
That made Rain giggle. She shook her head, "Steve-"
He silenced her with a soft kiss.
Rain looked up at him, "I'm sorry I broke a glass."
Steve cuddled her, "It is just an object. You are all I care about. You are so important to me. If I had lost you... Rain..."
Steve let himself cry, "Rain... Please don't ever think that taking your life... Talk to me to Buck... Hell call Matt or Foggy just don't give up... Remember ubi vita est spes est."
Rain let tears fall, "Where there is life there is hope... Oh Steve I am so sorry... I don't know... Oh God!"
Steve rocked her kissing her face everywhere.
Rain looked up at him, "Can we go lie down?"
Steve stood up and walked her upstairs into his room.
Rain shook her head, "I don't know what I was thinking... I..."
Steve hushed her kissing her deeply, "It's ok..."
Rain swallowed, "Steve I need you... I..."
Steve nodded. He understood she needed to feel something. He needed too as well.
He wasn't going to go easy or gentle and he suspected Rain didn't want that either.
Steve ripped her shirt and tore her bra making Rain moan softly.
He bit her shoulder hard making her cry out as he stripped her of her pants.
Rain fumbled with his shirt. She needed to feel his body against hers, "Steve!"
He didn't bother taking his pants off he just undid the zipper and freed his cock slamming into her, "Rain you aren't allowed to leave us... You aren't allowed to leave me."
Rain called out his name like a prayer, "Steve..."
Steve drove harder teasing her clit with his thumb, "Say it Rain promise me you won't ever try that again!"
Rain shook, "Fuck! I swear.. I promise I won't ever try again... Oh shit Steve!"
Steve grunted, "I know... I'm almost there too baby girl."
Steve kissed her and that pushed both over the edge.
Rain laid in Steve arms, "I should go clean up the broken pieces."
Steve shook his head no, "It'll be there later. Rain what happened?"
Rain cuddled into him and told him how Carter came up insulting Nat and then turned on her. "I sorta of implied she lied in bed like a dead duck."
Steve couldn't hold back the laughter, "Oh my sweet baby... I love you."
Rain looked up at him, "I love you too."
Steve kissed her, "I promise Carter doesn't mean anything to me or Buck and can't hold a candle to you."
Rain blushed as Steve traced his hand over her sides, "Ready for me to prove it again?"
