Wipe Away the Red

Belova

Years past faster than Natalia can keep up. Before she knew it, she was married to Alexei, one of the greatest pilots in the KGB. It was weird waking up to another man who held her in his arms. Carefully she slipped out of his embrace heading to the shower. Hot water sprayed her skin washing away last night's activities she had with her husband. The soap unfortunately couldn't clean away the blood she saw on her hands. Tears fell down her cheeks as she allowed herself to cry. No one saw which was good. She didn't need to be emotional compromise. After a shower and a good cry, the redhead dried off and got ready for the day. 

Alexei hugged her from behind and tried to kiss her neck to which she laughed and pulled away, pretending to be that good wife. "Nyet, I need to go to work." He pouted playfully and kissed her lips "Fine I won't keep you here anymore." 

Once released the Widow headed for her motorcycle that awaited her and drove to the secret place where she would meet up with James. They had both fallen in love and she knew it was hard for James to see her as a married woman. Yes she is having an affair but in her defense she doesn't love Alexei like she loved James. On the night her husband was gone, the Soldier would sneak into her room before making passionate love to each other. 

She was confused to why Ivan insisted that she married for there was no way she could provide her husband children due to the graduation ceremony from the Red Room where they sterilized her like an animal. Although Alexei didn't seem to mind that she can't bear children but it didn't stop him from forcing himself on her. 

An explosion pulled her out of her thoughts as her bike was thrown one way and her body another. Remembering her training, the redhead curled up that way once her body hit the ground there will be little damage. The impact left her breathless and she quickly scrambled to her feet pulling out her pistol. Stay focus. Green eyes searched her surroundings. Her harley was about a few feet away from her lying on its side with the engine still running. She wondered who attacked her and why. There was no one in sight but she kept her senses on alert as she walked over to her transportation. A sound of ticking caused her to pause and quickly barrel rolled away as it exploded. Chert. Damnit. Now she was on high alert while hiding behind a building. 

Familiar laughter echoed around her making her grit her teeth. Yelena Belova. I should have known. Her arch nemesis who seemed to hate her and want to steal her life for some odd reason. The blonde even goes by the name Black Widow at times just to piss Natalia off. Honestly she was quite fed up with Belova's childish schemes. "Give it up, Yelena." She called out "I don't want to play your games." "Aww come on, Black. It is so much fun to mess with you." Natalia moved forward in the shadows looking for the other Widow with her pistol in hand. Sorry James. Looks like I'm going to be late. Again. Moving forward to the sound of the female voice that was still echoing with laughter. You're going down, Belova. Thanks to her training she snuck up behind the Widow and attacked her. "Chto za chert!" What the hell! Yelena cried out in surprise as Natalia pinned her to the cement. "Stop!" The redhead ordered as the blonde Widow continued to thrashed hoping to break free. She held her down with her legs and hands. "Ya skazal prekratit'" I said stop. Belova listened and immediately went still. 

Breathing heavily as she rolled off the woman. "Now what was that all about?" Natalia demanded. "Just a bit of fun," Yelena answered her with a shrug while standing up to her feet. A bit of fun?! "You could have killed me." Once again the other Widow shrugged making Natalia fume on the inside. "You owe me a new bike." She was trying to keep calm while in her mind she raised her gun and shot the girl in the face. Keeping her fists clenched at her side, she walked away from Yelena heading to the meeting place where she knew James was waiting and probably worried about her. Next time I will be prepared and ready.

Finally she entered the empty shop that used to be an ice cream store till the owners left due to the bank evicting them or so that was the story. She secretly believed that James had something to do with it. "Izvini, ya opozdal" Sorry I'm late. She apologized as James immediately wrapped his strong arms around her once he saw her "Had a surprise attack to deal with" "Belova?" He asked to which she nodded. "YA ub'yu yeye." I'll kill her. "Nyet," Natalia told him sharply "I can handle her." His lips then covered hers in a rough passionate kiss that left her breathless and dazed. He always had that kind of effect on her. "James" His name tumbled off her lips in a moan before he kissed her again. Her whole body went ablaze with the fires of desire for him.

"We really need to stop doing this" Natalia gently teased as she lay naked once again in his arms. "Doubt that will ever happen, moya lyubov'." My love. What they were doing was dangerous and forbidden. If caught they would both be severely punished. She worried about someone (Yelena) finding them together like this. The fear of being caught would haunt her dreams at night creating such horrible nightmares. As if sensing her fear he kissed her head and whispered sweet words of love that soothed her mind. Natalia pushed those thoughts away while resting in his arms. It was only a matter of time before they get caught. For now she will savor every precious moment she had with him.
