Mission Distraction

Narrator POV)

Hot. That was the world to describe this mission. Location South America. The target was an easy one. He was a corrupt former CIA operative now working for the mob. Bucky had tried to talk Ema out of coming the best he could but her mind was made up and so was Steve's. Ema was going on missions just like the other linguistics staff did. So the hard headed woman was was crawling in an attic with one lethal weapon the formality the Winter Soldier.

(Ema POV)
I listen to the bug they planted about an hour ago in the downstairs of the target location about 100 yards away. Sweating hands legs and chest was laid on his stomach before her with a long raffle in his hands. "Ema I am glad your here. Just don't be a distraction." I gave him a slight smile. I knew he still really didn't like it but I was hoping short shorts and a tight v neck tank top would help change his mind some.

"Shouldn't be long now," he grumbled.

"Well there's no noise on this end. I hate the waiting game." I leaned back against the rafter. "How do you kill the time waiting especially when it so hot?" I took a piece of ice out of my cup and slid it down my throat pulse point. Bucky's eyes widen and I sore I heard him moan a little. I decided to play on my southern hospitality so I nudged his shoulder offering him some water.

"Thanks doll." He took a sip and put it down beside him.

"He's there" I whispered.

"Lay down." He spoke in his sergeant tone.

"Exactly where? There is no room up here." I said empathize the word here. He shot me a task force look from over his shoulder. "Down fine." I huffed and laid down on my stomach placing my arms around his waist. For some stupid reason I placed a kiss on his back. Oh god what did I just do? Stupid Ema. He's not happy with you being here and now you. . . My thoughts were quickly interrupted.

"I got him." Bucky looked through the scope as the recoil of the raffle jerked his slightly. The mafia target lay dead with a head shot.

"See not a distraction." I said getting up before climbing down from our hiding place.

We're done here let's go." Bucky tone was crisp and the authoritative look he gave me made me wonder if he was still mad.
We walked out of the cabin to the cleaning where he had parked the Jeep. By the time we got into the road toward the rondeview location the silence was defending.

"What's wrong with you?" My tone direct and to the point.

"Nothin."

"You're lying." I mumbled. Bucky looked at me a chuckled.

"I almost missed the shot because of you." He tightened his head around the gearshift as he spoke.

"Me get real Sargent."

"Can't help it. I'm not used to you being on missions yet. Still a distraction."

"I know but," I said sweetly trying to compose my thoughts.

"But you did good still almost missed the shot though." He hissed.

********************
The man was almost impossible. I couldn't get a read on him half of the time. He flirted half the time and the other half the time he was distant. By the time the mission in South America was over I was relieved to get away to the beach. The sun glistening on the water as I sat at the pub table by the pool. The view was beautiful.

"Go and enjoy yourself you had a successful mission." Steve pulled up a chair next to me handling me a beer. I took a sip and looked at him.

"Apparently I almost screwed up." He raised a brow at me.

"How? Buck gave me a full report he told me you did awesome." I gave him a smirk.

"You know no offense but he drives me crazy."

"Yep he has that effect on people." He said with a slight smile and chuckle.

I gave Steve an intense state before speaking empathizing the words with my hands. "One moment I think he is the type of man that could give you a look that would kill and the next he looks at me like he wants to do me right...dammit. Sorry i ugh sorry." I took another sip and looked toward the beach. Way to go Ema. I mentally kicked myself.

"No need to apologize. I've heard worse from him. In fact just recently about you." I shot my eyes up to him.

" Why what did he exactly?" He just laughed. "So you're not going to tell me."

"Nope." Steve said with his eyes shining.

"Just tell answer me one thing does it involve the first or second part?" He gave me a smile as he got up.

Back at the bar:
He had ordered two drinks. One for him one for her. Steve had walked back up and clamped his friend in the shoulder giving a chuckle.

(Bucky POV)

"You know she thinks your mad at her? Soothing about almost missing a shot."

"Ok I froze for a moment. Won't happen again. I got distracted. It was on me not her. I mean when you have a beautiful woman and all you can think off. Nevermind." I said almost rambling to justify his thoughts out loud.

"You want her." I gave him a sidewides look at chuckled. "Just don't wait to long."

I took a sip of my drink. "Not planning on it."

I took the drinks and left walking over to where Ema was laying. Tanki with stamps pulled down and long legs. My baseball cap over her eyes and earbuds in. She looked up at me as I handed her the umbrella drink. I sat down with my beer beside her.

" I need to apologize to you." She gave me a sidewize glacé. " I froze almost missed the shot. You had nothing to do with it." She rolled her eyes at me.

"Thought you said I distracted you."

" Baby you are always a distraction but a very good one." I gave a chuckle while she gave me a pout.

"You know I can't figure you out sometimes. One moment you want me with you on missions and than the next you are flirting with me. So exactly what of you want? In detail please." Her smart mouth was going to be the death of me.

I leaned over to her and whispered. "Right now I want to find a sexy woman laying out by the pool and make her moan my name until she comes around me and then I'm goin to go down on her until she screams my name again."

"Lucky girl" she said blushing as she pulled my cap down over her face again with a smile.

"Yes she is." I smirked. I got up offering my hand to her that she gladly accepted.

"Where you two goin'?" Steve asked as we plast him. " Plans." I grumbled as I pulled Ema along and she giggled.
