His grip was iron tight on my wrist, dragging me across the complex. He shielded me with each turn with his body as if he was some glorified human shield.
"Bucky, my wrist." I hissed at him. I tugged lightly away from his grip, but he tightened it even more before whipping around to face me. His face stopped mere inches from my own, a wild look upon his face while his eyes blazed with authority.
"Do you have any idea of the state I've been in?" He asked in a low growl. "I just about went fucking postal the moment I found out you were taken from me."
"Bucky..." I trailed off.
"No, Isla," He pulled me flush to his body, "I'm not fucking letting you go ever again, you hear me? I can't lose you. Without you, I'm absolutely and unequivocally fucked because you had to go and make me fall in love with you."
***
James Buchanan Barnes is sick, let down by his own country and forced to cope with the unimaginable. Isla O'Sullivan is the medication he needs, made perfectly to stabilize his deteriorating mind. But how far is he willing to go to ensure he gets his next dose?

"Life is fifty wrong turns down a bumpy road. All you can hope is that you end up somewhere nice." - Punk 57 *I don't own any of the characters except the OCs. Melanie Lovett was a former CIA Agent. She decided it wasn't in the cards for her to keep doing something that didn't bring her joy. She was recruited by Tony Stark, due to her exemplary credentials, to be Morgan's nanny. Melanie decided to take the job on because it was something different and new. She didn't know that's where she would meet James Buchanan Barnes. The man who loved bumping heads with her at any chance he got. The man who killed her father when she was thirteen years old. She hated him ... almost as much as she wanted him. ‼️ Sort of Dark!Bucky in the beginning so if you're not into that then this story might not be for you. ‼️ 〰️ "Why would she be afraid of you?" Nat asked. Something in her tone had changed but I didn't know what it was. "I don't know. I just met her yesterday," I shrugged. "Hm. Well ... I'm gonna go get suited up. See ya," she ran off. What the hell? Some thing wasn't right. She was hiding something. Something about Melanie ... and I was going to find out. She was lying about something. Violence was why I existed. It was who I was. To dominate and submit all those around me. I was a tool, a monster, an enforcer. I'd done it all because it's all I'd known. All I was taught. Somewhere inside I could still feel it. Even after getting the words out. That dark sinister part of me was still there. The caged soldier inside. Something about Melanie would make it come out. Maybe because she might've also had a caged animal inside. I itched to let it out. To let them play. 〰️ Tropes found in book: Enemies to Lovers Grumpy x Sunshine Fake Dating Bodyguard He falls first.

The Soldier's Wraith ~ Book 1
James Buchanan Barnes had been through a lot in his life: Fighting in wars, brainwashed and forced to kill for decades, fighting to remember who he was... The hardest part of it all? Finding his place back in the world. Then, there was you. You had been someone else for so long, you didn't know how to step back into life. From being taken to the Red Room, brainwashed, and then taken and experimented on by HYDRA for decades, you and Barnes shared your fair share of trauma, both separately and together. You had grown close, although it hadn't happened overnight. You hated each other. There were multiple times over the years when you tried to kill each other and almost succeeded. Eventually, you both escaped HYDRA, and the most peaceful years were when you were on the run. Unfortunately, the world had other plans. You were thrown back into the fight, on a galactic scale this time. Bucky blipped, you didn't. After five dark years, the fight was won, but at a severe cost to both of you. *The main story takes place during TFATWS, but flips between the past and present story of Bucky and Y/N.* *This is being written as I get time. I will try to edit before posting.* *Marvel characters are not mine. There may be some original characters throughout the story.
