His Enchantress (Steve x Reader)

Chapter 23

There was light hearted banter between both Bucky and Steve for an hour before Bucky decided it was time to leave. Tibbs was sad to see him go, and made quite the racket in response. It was getting close to your lunch and you were curled up with your head on Steve's lap while reading and carrying soft conversation. Steve was reading a book off of his phone, and seemed completely content. Your phone rang, and you looked at it. It was a video call from your brother. You sat up and Steve put his arm around your shoulders as you accepted the call.
"Oh miss big time doesn't have time to call her older brother now" Eric said to the screen and you rolled your eyes.
"I miss you too," you giggled.
"Not enough, I don't see you coming home anytime soon" he glared into the camera.
"You know I can't. I come home every Christmas" you rolled your eyes again. "Usually you can't wait to see me go," you added.
"That's a lie" he called you out on it. "That's your man?" he asked, seeing Steve beside you.
"His name is Steve Rogers and he is a sweetheart" you gave him a warning look.
"Hi Eric" Steve smiled at the screen.

"Is Y/N giving you any trouble?" Eric asked quickly. "You know she's ticklish right?" he said with glee.
"That's enough from you" you said, looking at the screen.
"I'll bet she still sleeps with stuffed animals, you sure you can handle that?" Eric ignored you.
"I can handle it," Steve chuckled.
"She snores" Eric said with a straight face and you looked at him in indignation.

"I do not!" you finally found your words.
"You do a little" Steve looked at you adoringly. "It's cute," he added.
"Eric, what do I owe the pleasure? Because we both know I could kick your ass" you looked back at the screen with red cheeks.
"That rescue kitten from last Christmas is driving me batty. I'm ready to send her by UPS to you" he groaned.
"She's just a growing baby" you cooed.
"Yeah well that growing baby keeps sneaking into the house and going into your room and hiding. The only way I get her to come out is with some wet food" he said, bringing a mug to his lips and you knew it was probably coffee since it's still early in the day.
"Molly is her own woman, you need to give her space" you told him off.
"She's not supposed to be in your room" he huffed.
"She has my permission," you shrugged.
"Mom and dad don't like it" he countered.
"Since when do you do what they want?" you challenged and Eric barked a laugh.
"I'm still fixing on coming down to visit you and dropping Molly off" he warned. "It'll give Tibbs someone to hang out with at least."
"Bucky likes watching Tibbs and he's got a cat named Alpine" you advised and he looked at you for a moment.
"Bucky as in Bucky Barnes the Winter soldier?" he asked.
"He's not like that" you pursed your lips. "He's sweet, caring, thoughtful, smart, kind..." you trailed off. "And Steve's best friend. You can't hold what Hydra did to him over his head" you glared.
"What's he called now?" he asked you curiously.
"Bucky, just Bucky," Steve said softly, looking at you lovingly. You gave Eric a warning glare and you saw a spark of mischievousness in his eyes that you hadn't noticed before.
"You little shit" you growled at him.
"I'll be seeing you soon little sister" he said ominously and disconnected the call.
"Thank you for sticking up for my best friend," Steve said softly.
"I consider him a friend as well. Honestly my older cousin Emily would probably swoon if she ever met him. She's got a bit of a crush" you giggled.
"She does?" he asked, a little confused. "But she's never met him," he added.
"Here" you pulled out your phone and showed him a chat you had open with her on facebook where she had sent you a picture of Bucky looking serious and stoic. It was clearly edited, but underneath was captioned "The most handsome Avenger".
"Ah, so she's a fan," Steve put it together.
"She is. She's also super shy at first, but I wouldn't put it past her to faint if she ever met Bucky" you giggled.
"You have an interesting family," Steve said, not making a comment about Bucky's head getting too big. His best friend wasn't around to defend himself.
"You have no idea," you sighed. "Did you want to go back inside?" you offered, wanting to broach the subject of your families abilities.
"Sure, dove" he nodded and you both got up. You took Tibbs off of his leash and brought him inside. He scurried to go to his toys and you brought Steve to your living room.
"There's something I want to talk to you about, but my family might actually kill me" you told him as you both sat down. You made sure there was some space between the two of you and Steve looked pained by it. "It's serious," you told him softly. He reached out and took your hand and turned to face you giving you his full attention.
"There's nothing that you can say that will change how I feel about you," he said lovingly.
"I have abilities" you decided to rip off the bandaid. "Like Wanda" you whispered.
"I figured that much out when I saw the way you, Wanda, and Loki seem like you are talking inside your heads at breakfast" Steve shrugged, running his thumb over your knuckles.
"You knew?!" you asked in surprise.
"I watch you more than you think" he shrugged. "I assume when you say like Wanda, you can do more?" he asked.
"I can," you said, flicking out with your hand towards one of Tibbs' toys and bringing it to you.
"Wow," Steve said with a smile. "I take it no one else knows about this? I mean, besides Loki and Wanda?" he asked.
"Loki said that Thor suspects it. I don't know for sure. I don't use my telepathy too often" you shook your head.
"Not even a peek?" he asked in surprise.
"I think consent is very important. The only one that I used my ability on was my ex, and that was to make sure that he wasn't going to hurt me again" you frowned.
"Does it run in the family?" he asked softly.
"It does, on my mothers side" you nodded.
"And you've never even peeked in my head?" he asked a little coyly and you blushed.
"No, like I said. Consent is important" you shook your head. "I wouldn't do that to you" you added in a soft whisper.
"I want you to feel free to go inside my head," he said softly.
"Steve!" you gasped.
"I'm serious. There's something I want you to see" he added, pulling on your hand and bringing you closer to his body.
"You're not freaked out?" you asked.
"No, and your secret is safe," he promised.
"Are you sure you're ready for me to do this?" you asked him hesitantly.
"Very sure" he nodded and kissed you on your forehead.
You nodded and slowly opened your mind completely. Three little words came out predominantly. Steve was saying "I love you" inside his head and your face flushed. You saw in his mind's eye the first time you made eye contact with him and how smitten he was from the beginning. How he loved you from the first time he finally kissed you. You gasped and looked at him, but he was still staring at you lovingly. He tugged on your hand and you crawled onto his lap and placed your hands on either side of his cheeks. He leaned in without hesitation and pressed his lips against your own firmly and you hummed against his lips. He licked the seam of your lips and you granted him swift entry, his tongue diving in and massaging against your own. He hit all the right spots and you pressed your body more into his own feeling every ridge of his muscles and his erection pressing up between your legs against your core. You pulled back from the kiss, feeling almost drunk on love.
"I love you too" you finally said.
"I really do love you, dove," Steve said, pulling you in for another kiss. You were lost in a whirl of sensations, some of them your own, some of them the words of bliss in Steve's mind. You knew he wanted to do more than just kiss and you welcomed it. He was in the middle of picking you up when an alarm went off on his phone. He pulled back and groaned. "This had better not be a mission" he growled as he pulled out his phone. "Fuck, I can't catch a break" he said. You had left his head and you looked at him expectantly. "It's time for lunch," he explained.
"Oh Jillian is probably waiting for me" you said, slipping off of the couch.
"No way dove, you're coming with me so we can resume this where we left off" he looked at you heatedly.
You couldn't help but giggle, and you touched his bearded cheek. "I still need to check in with my friends, especially when she has a date with the man of her dreams again today" you told him softly.
"I'll come get you then" he kissed the tip of your nose. "I'll carry you back here if I have to," he added slyly.
"You've got a deal, Captain, but I assure you. You will find that I am most open to your advances and wouldn't give you any trouble" you giggled as he leaned in and kissed you again as though he couldn't get enough.
"Do I need to ask Bucky to babysit?" he asked softly.
"Tibbs should know enough to stay away" you purred.
"We will close the door just in case" he said. "I'll even refill all of his toys so he isn't bored" he grinned.
"Deal, my love" you cooed to him and his face lit up as though it was the most beautiful sentence in the world.
