Ascension (Dark!SteveRogers AU) 18+

26

They had been at it all night. Her body could finally withstand some of the more complicated positions he has her in as well as keeping up with his energy.

And it had been energetic indeed.

She didn't care whether the whole palace had probably heard, at least they would know that she was a very happy and satisfied woman this morning.

Right now his lips were trailing down the snake tattoo on her spine. "You are exquisite". He uttered against her skin with hot breath. His teeth sank into her skin, leaving another bite mark that would bruise. Mark her. 

He wanted to mark her properly. The animalistic urge becoming more apparent since her enhancement. It made him question why it hadn't really shown itself before. Something that he would need to ask Zola about. 

"I think you need to sleep, and me?" He got up, pulling his trousers and a shirt on. "I need to go see Zola". 

"I don't need to sleep". Haven sat up and pulled the sheets around her. 

Steve smirked. "Even I need sleep, Haven. You may now have stamina and slowed aging, but you still need to know your limits". 

"You barely tested those last night". She mused and threw him a knowing look. "Won't you just stay in bed for five more minutes?" 

"I need to see Zola, but I'm sure by the time I'm back that you'll be asleep" 

"Won't". She replied stubbornly. 

"Will". 

She huffed but refused to rise to the challenge and argue with him. She already knew that he would always win anyway. Watching him quickly down a drink of water, he then made for the door, turning back to her. 

"Sleep, trust me, you'll feel better for it". 

"Fine". 

Satisfied that she probably would be deep in slumber by the time he got back, Steve made his way to Zola's room, finding the doctor taking notes over some smouldering bottles filled with different liquids. "Armin, a word". He announced his presence as the man jumped slightly, not having heard him come in. 

He bowed. "I'm sorry sir, I did not realise that you were there". 

"I wanted to talk to you about the Queen". 

"Has something happened?" Zola took off his glasses and cleaned them. "The serum was correct..." 

Steve nodded. "It was, but since her transformation? Something...is different. It feels different, mainly for me - it's like I see her in a new light, crave her more..."

Zola chuckled. "It would be the strings tying you together. You are both alike now, so it becomes more obvious to see for you. It has always been there, but I suppose you can say that your bond has been enhanced too, and has finally shown itself". 

"I s'pose that could explain it". 

"Given you are married, I should hope so". 

"I married her in an agreement for her Kingdom, not because of love". Steve reminded him. "That had never really been an option. So long as she followed the rules and did question my decisions? I was more than willing to tolerate her as Queen". 

Zola smirked. "You do more than tolerate her Steven...you are in love with her. Agatha saw the coming of the Serpent Queen. She predicted it years back, just as she predicted the fruitful rule you two would bring. Hydra would rise again, thrive - and it would live on through your own heir". 

"You do realise that the witch can be wrong a well y'know? Besides, she didn't specifically say it would be Haven..." 

"She has been right so far though". Zola chuckled. "Embrace it sir. We are rising once more". 

Steve nodded. "Believe me, I plan to". And with a sharp nod, he walked out - stopping to speak to Nat for a short while before returning to his rooms. Haven wasn't in bed, but instead he found her asleep while soaking in the bathtub filled with sweet smelling bubbles. The warmth of the water probably having sent her into slumber. "Haven..." He roused her gently as she sleepily opened her eyes. 

"Is this the part where you gloat that you were right?" She yawned, now realising that she'd fallen asleep while soaking in the tub. 

He chuckled. "No, but if you stay in there then the water will go cold". 

She waved it off. "I'm too tired to move, it's like my body just decided to give up on me. I was perfectly fine before you left". 

"Oh, so it's my fault you're getting sleep?" He tutted and helped her to stand, grabbing her a towel to wrap around her. "I'll carry you through to the bed if that's what it takes?"

Drying herself off, she yawned and reached for her nightgown. "Mhmmm" was all she replied with and now allowed him to scoop her up and take her back to bed. "Just set me down here". She said as he put her down on the edge of the bed so she could sit. "Why did you go and see Zola?" 

"Just to keep him informed of how you're getting on". He lied, but now mentally feeling the pull between them. The yearning was getting stronger, especially as she was wearing a nightgown that was partially see through. A gift he'd given her a few weeks back, purely for his own enjoyment. Right now her breasts were heaving against the fabric, nipples perky from where he could see them underneath. 

Getting to his knees, he slowly moved the gown up to her hips, exposing her to him - making him crave to taste her more. 

She didn't need to ask, opening her legs for him to invite him there, his head dipping between them and tongue now working against her clit and between her folds. "I love it when you taste me". She breathed, one hand now clenching at his hair. 

"Believe me sweetheart, I can't get enough of the taste of you". 

She gently pushed his face more into her, sharp gasps leaving her before he brought her to ecstasy, lapping up her release and then moving up her body. His lips met with her own so she could taste herself before he spoke once more. 

"I will never get enough of you".
