Part 39

**Y/N and Bucky**

You're cuddling with Bucky in a post-orgasmic haze and listening to his heartbeat while he's slowly finger drawing designs on your back.

"Thank you Y/N." His voice a soft whisper.

Puzzled, you lift your head, resting your chin on his chest. "For what?"

Bucky gives you a small smile. "I haven't ever had such a good night's sleep after a mission. I'm glad you wanted me with you. I actually was able to sleep."

You drop a small kiss on his peck and smile up at him. " You're welcome, Buttercup. I'm glad you took a chance and that it helped. I know it helped me." Sighing, you lean up and kiss him. "As much as I want to stay like this, we should get up. We need to talk with Dad and Bruce about what's going on with me. They injected me with something while I was there and seeing my healing rate this morning, I'm nervous about what it might mean."

Bucky gives you a squeeze. "Whatever's going on, we'll figure it out."

Giving Bucky one last kiss, you roll and stretch your sore muscles. Slipping out of bed and glance over at Bucky, who's staring at your body. Giving him a smirk you start to the bathroom, "Since we have to get going, I'm jumping in the shower. Will you be joining me?"

Bucky grins and tries to get out of bed too fast, causing his legs to get tangled in the sheets. He quickly rights himself rushing to catch up. He snags you around the waist pulling you against his chest. Kissing your neck he walks with you into the shower. "I will never turn that offer down."
