Electric Love || Bucky Barnes X OC

Chapter 28

Bucky's POV...

I pulled Mia along with me, keeping her securely behind me since I wasn't sure what we were walking into. There was no way I'm going to let her get hurt or touched by any of these disgusting pigs looking at her. Lucas led us to a back room that was dimly lit and every single one of my senses was on overdrive. These guys are under-the-table weapons dealers and I'm pulling Mia right into the thick of it. Sure she's capable of protecting herself and doing everything Natasha can do but Natasha's got nothing on Mia, looks wise that is. Natasha pulls attention, sure but nowhere like Mia. She's got this aura around her that makes every person in the room need to watch her and the amount of confidence she has only adds to that. I know it's not just me that sees her like that either, Steve sees it, Matt couldn't even see and he saw it, every man in here sees it, most of the women too, and anyone else she's probably ever been within 10 feet of. Admittedly though it does make me feel a lot of pride to know that the woman everyone wants is the same one I keep finding myself sharing a bed with. I know she's not mine but for the times when we're having sex, she feels like she's mine and whenever it's just the two of us alone it feels like she's mine. For just those moments, I let myself think of her like that.

I know she wants more, trust me I know but she doesn't have any idea what I've done. If I'm being honest with myself for a moment, I know every time I sleep with her it's going to be a little harder to let her go one day when she's outgrown me. I'm falling for her, hard and more and more every time I even touch her or see that damn smile. I'd been too distracted to pay much attention to our surroundings but Mia squeezing my hand brought my attention back. A man had walked into the room without me noticing and based on the way Mia was moving closer to me, I figured this was our guy. "Here boss, this is the couple you asked for." Lucas told the man without even looking up from the floor

"Thank you, Lucas, you can leave now."

I pulled Mia under my arm and tightened my grip on her. "There's no need to hold her so tightly, I brought you here because I wanted to meet you both. Some of my employees told me you put on quite the show in the VIP room and I was thinking maybe I want to see for myself. My name is Oliver and I guess you could say I'm in charge around here. Lucas said you were interested in joining the team."

"Yes sir." I answered

"No need to call me sir, just tell me your names."

"I'm James and this is Annabelle."

"It's nice to meet you both, tell me James why do you want to join our team?"

"Well back in California I did a lot of work out there under the table, dealing and delivering. I just prefer it to have an office job or something else like that."

"How'd you know about us?"

"I accidentally bumped into Lucas last night at the bar and spilled his drink on him. We got to talking and drinking and I said a little about my past work and he said he may have something for me."

"Do you know what we do here?"

"No, I just decided to trust Lucas and see where he took us. I didn't figure it would lead anywhere, at least not this fast."

"Well Lucas really liked you both and had already mentioned you to a couple of people so when I learned about you two in the VIP room, I figured I had to meet you."

"I mean plenty of people were having sex in there, why us?" Mia asked

"Honestly, I heard as soon as you walked in about this girl that everyone couldn't keep their eyes off of and her very protective boyfriend." He'd been slowly moving closer to us and now he was close enough to touch her face. "Now that you're in front of me, I see what everyone was talking about. You are quite the sight, Miss Anabelle."
