Electric Love || Bucky Barnes X OC

Chapter 23

I spent my last night before the mission with a glass of wine in a warm bath, hoping it'll help with my back. This wasn't the first time I'd gotten bruised or been a little sore from training but since we were leaving in the morning, I couldn't afford for my back to hurt. Much to my surprise, Bucky had not protested my wanting some alone time tonight.  I thought about trying to get him to hold up his offer from last night but I don't want to be rushed or limited because we have a mission tomorrow morning. That did not stop me from thinking about it though and from considering walking next door to just say fuck it and beg for him. I tossed and turned most of the night, thinking about how Bucky was right that I should talk to Tony about what happened after he left but I also couldn't get my mind off of Bucky. No one has ever shown me a fraction of the care or kindness that he has and I've known him for only two months. I'm worried I'm setting myself up for failure by thinking that one day Bucky will change his mind about not wanting to date me. He insists that it won't matter because once I know his big secret I won't want to even be his friend anymore but he says Tony needs to be the one to tell me and Tony won't. Surely it's in his file though right? I'll have to dig around once we're back and see if I can figure out what everyone is keeping from me. I hate that everyone knows this big secret that somehow affects me but no one will just tell me what it is. 

I only got a few hours of sleep and it probably showed in the bags under my eyes. By the time I saw any of the guys around and about, I'd already downed two cups of coffee and was down with my makeup and my hair. Usually, I wouldn't bother with it on a mission but given that the whole point of my going is to be Bucky's hot arm candy, I thought it may be necessary. I'd seen Steve and Sam but no Bucky so I went to knock on his door. He looked like he'd just rolled out of bed when he opened the door. "Hey sleepy head, it's time to come out of hibernation mode and boot up."

"Am I supposed to know what that means?"

"No, no you're not. Anyways get up or you're going to be late and we'll have to listen to Captain tight pants bitch the whole way there."

"You sure are chipper this morning."

"It's the coffee."

"I think I'm gonna need some of that before we leave."

"I'll go get you some while you work on getting a shirt on."

"And here I thought you liked me shirtless."

"Oh I do, Tinman but thing 1 and 2 won't enjoy what they'll witness if you walk onto that jet without a shirt."

He pulled my hips against his and closed the distance between us. "What is it you think they'll witness, princess?"

"Either you fucking me for the first time on the floor of the jet or me sucking you off."

"Tempting but our first time will not be a public ordeal on the floor."

"Sad, it sounded kind of hot."

"I really don't think we need to go on this mission, I'm just going to keep you in my bed all day."

"No way, I'm going to go get you some coffee and then we'll go get on the jet. You better be dressed when I get back."

"What if I'm not?"

I cocked my head and pursed my lips as I consider what I could threaten him with. "Or I won't let you see my boobs for the rest of the week."

"That'll do it. Can I see them before we go?"

"No, now get dressed." I laughed

He kissed my head before he let me go so I could get him some coffee. When I returned I had a coffee in one hand for him and another for myself. "How much coffee have you had this morning?" He asked after he took his first drink
