***Beware***
"Hmmm," she hummed softly, her head throbbing with the dull ache that felt as though she'd been run over by a truck. Groping in the light, she found the cool expanse of sheets beside her, and with a slow, cautious movement, she pried her heavy eyelids open.
There, sitting in a chair beside their bed, was Bucky, cradling a steaming cup of coffee.
"James," Indigo whined, her voice husky with sleep. "It's too early. Come back to bed."
She observed him place the coffee gently on the nightstand and stand up taking a step closer, her gaze quickly trailing over his form. Shirtless, clad only in grey sweatpants, he was a sight that made her pulse quicken
"How'd you sleep, doll?" he asked looking down at her, Indigo watched as his eyes raked slowly over her body. She realized the sheet had fallen off of her, she took advantage of it.
Indigo crawled towards him and sat up on her knees, she smiled at him softly. His blue eyes examined her needily, trailing down towards her lips before flickering backup to meet her eyes once more, as a tiny smile formed on his lips.
Her heart that thumped against her chest echoed inside of her ears now as she tilted her head sideways to peer up at him. "What's going on in that beautiful head?"
Bucky's hands raked through her hair, combing through her waves as he stared down at her rather vulnerably, his hands trailing down her back until they were whisking her up from her thighs, hoisting her around his waist. Gripping onto his shoulders, they shared a longing look for a few moments, her breath growing shaky as he lowered his lips to hers.
Twirling around slowly, he sat down on the edge of the mattress, holding her in his lap as his lips moved with fervor against hers. His hands tugging at her hair, their lips detached momentarily, his eyes raking over her body in admiration as his mouth parted breathlessly.
"My beautiful girl," he hummed quietly, the reverberation vibrating through his chest, through her ears.
Indigo sighed happily at the pet name, tracing her fingers over the outline of his muscles along his torso making him shiver noticeably beneath her. His lips found the sensitive spot on her neck, nibbling and kissing his way towards her collarbone.
His hands grasping the sides of her face now as he pecked her lips tentatively. "Wife," he breathed. "I am so in love with you."
Goosebumps raised on every inch of her skin at his words, an irrevocable smile dancing along her swollen lips. It didn't matter how many times she heard it she still couldn't believe a man like him could love her.
Placing both of her hands on top of his, she pressed her forehead against his own. "I'm in love with you, husband."
A proud smile appeared on his face, lasting only a second, before crashing his lips against hers once more, a low rumble leaving the back of his throat as he palmed her chest gently. Her nipples hardened underneath his touch, causing a chain reaction between her legs as she involuntarily rocked her hips back and forth weakly in his lap.
