Surely faking a relationship to improve the public opinion of one beefy super solider known as Bucky Barnes would be the easiest of mission for two well seasoned Avengers? Tony Stark seems to think so & decides to task you with 'Operation: Faking it', but what happens when you realise there might be less faking needed than originally planned?

She was supposed to know everything about Max, having studied every detail to ensure nothing would go wrong, but when she finally meets him, he seems to understand everything while she can't distinguish between what's real and what he's making her believe.

A/N: first few chapters are a bit 'cringy' with spelling errors (I write this on my phone) but if you can get past those two things, I PROMISE the story and writing get better. Will be doing heavy editing/construction once the book is complete Agent Amelia Hayes is the newest recruit to the Avengers team after getting a second chance at life thanks to none other than Tony Stark. While learning how to use her powers for good and what it truly means to be a hero, shes also creating bonds with everyone on the team as they help her along her journey. All except James Buchanan Barnes that is. She doesn't know why the moody super soldier has such a vendetta towards her but she does know that she can't help but get flustered and ogle around him. Getting to the root of everything is one problem. Figuring out where to go when she gets her answers is another. But Amelia Hayes never backs down from a challenge.

A Modern Bucky Barnes x OC Story **SMUTS** TW - Lots of BDSM. Sexual content. Sex Work. Death. Violence. You worked for Mr Barnes as his secretary, and had been working for him for the last year. He was obviously the hottest CEO you had worked for. Hell, he was the hottest CEO you'd seen. But you were a professional, and you always kept your distance. You also kept your day job completely separate from your evening activities, being careful not to risk anyone finding out what you liked to do past 8pm. That is, until the two worlds collide. Then, your past also starts to catch up with you. FYI, this is not a typical secretary-CEO story. ---------------------------------------------- "It's a fucking double standard Bucky, and I don't understand why you can't just leave me alone like you leave everyone else alone!" "BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT EVERYONE ELSE!" He yelled suddenly, making your anger disappear instantly. "You are completely different." He added, his voice quieter, but his teeth still gritted. "Why am I different?" You asked, frowning at him in confusion. "You can't seriously be that naive?" He chuckled heartlessly. The anger flared back up. "Listen here Bucky, if all you're going to do is insult me for asking simple fucking questions, then I will walk ou-" Your words were cut off, by Bucky crashing his lips to yours. ---------------------------------------------- #1 in buckybarnessmut #1 in sexualfantasy #1 in jamesbarnes #1 in bucky #1 in samwilson #2 in originalcharacter #2 in originalstory #1 in avengersfanfiction #1 in buckybarnes #1 in buckybarnesxreader #4 in fanfiction #1 in steverogers #4 in alternateuniverse #1 in modernworld
