11 parts Complete MatureBucky met Nicole at a bar. Neither of them were looking for love. Neither of them wanted a relationship. What they got from each other was that, and a whole lot more.
Nicole Wilson was feisty, foul-mouthed and fiercely good at her job as a Homicide Detective. But lately, things hadn't been going so well. A serial killer was making her and her whole department look painfully inept. The bodies were piling up and instead of total commitment to solving the case, she found herself seeking comfort in the arms of Bucky Barnes, without a doubt, the most beautiful man she had ever met. He was supportive, attentive and infinitely satisfying. No matter how bad her workday had been, their nights made everything seem better.
When Bucky suggested an unusual suspect as the killer and things started going terribly wrong, Nicole had to draw on every ounce of her own strength to do the right thing. Thankfully, Bucky was looking out for her. He would do anything to keep her safe. ANYTHING.
