Hello Sergeant (Bucky Barnes)

James' POV

I turned my face to Steve's, meeting his lips with mine. I slid the tip of my tongue along his lips and he opened his mouth, allowing me to kiss him more deeply. I shifted so I was facing him, wrapping my arms around as my desire rose and I couldn't get enough of him. I wanted more, but I wasn't sure what that 'more' was exactly.

When he drew back finally, we were both quietly gasping for breath. He gave me one more kiss, soft and gentle, but somehow fulfilling. I kissed his cheek and rested my head on his broad shoulder.

"Wow," he said, and I could feel his smile. "Damn, Buck! No wonder you always had dames falling all over you. I didn't know you could kiss like that."

"Either did I, but apparently Sarah's taught you a lot because holy shit, that was great! I could kiss you all night."

Steve sighed, lifting his head up to look at me. "I think we'd better cool it for now, though. We've got time; there's no need to rush things right now."

"You're right," I said with a smile. "So does this mean you won't growl at me anymore for kissing Sarah?"

He laughed quietly. "Yeah, I suppose it does. As long as it's what she wants, I'm okay with it. It actually hasn't bothered me for a while – since we both started sharing her bed, I guess. I'm going to go get a drink of water. You want anything?"

"I'm good." I gave him another kiss, disentangling my limbs from his. He carefully got out of the bed and I straightened the covers before pulling Sarah back over so she would be laying between us. I couldn't believe she'd slept through all that, but she'd probably be up ungodly early in the morning like she usually was - and cheerful, too - annoyingly so.

I curled up around her and closed my eyes, telling myself it was time to sleep. I smiled when Steve came back to bed, scooting over and putting his arm around the both of us, falling asleep shortly after that.

Sarah's POV

I woke up well before dawn and decided to go for a run before it was time to start cooking for the day. I carefully disentangled myself from James and Steve, turning to climb over Steve to get up. I'd learned early on not to wake James at this time of the morning if I didn't have to. He wasn't a morning person by any stretch of the imagination.

Steve cracked his eyes open as I moved over him, though, shifting us so he had me to himself. He brought one hand up to my face and I kissed him gently, not having any expectations since we were at my parent's house. He smiled at me, searching my face.

"Are you feeling better this morning? You fell asleep really early yesterday, even after your long nap."

"I feel fine. I was just really tired yesterday for some reason."

"Then it's a good thing you have a couple days off from work; you've been so busy lately I hardly get to see you." He kissed me, gently stroking my face.

"Hmm. A couple of lazy days might do me good. Want to go for a run with me?" I asked him, grinning when he made a face at me. He didn't care for the cold and wasn't fond of snow, which was understandable considering how long he'd been frozen in the Arctic before Shield found him.

"Why don't you just stay here with me?" Steve suggested, kissing me again. "That's lazy. Besides, it's snowing pretty good out there."

I picked my head up to look outside the window. He was right, that winter storm had already hit here. "Five bucks says Tony just flies here in his suit."
