No one should wield that kind of power with just their voice. Yet, no matter what words he uttered, we would always end up this way. Him pleading for me whilst I handed myself over willingly, irregardless of the consequences. And that’s how I ended up beside him once again, our bodies tangled together in between the sheets, holding each other in a way that said, ‘I’ll never let you go again’. But we would. We always did.
“Buck...” I began, my voice barely above a whisper. He hummed in response, burying his face into my hair and constricting his arms tighter around my body.
“You know when you’re in a car and it’s pouring rain, then you go under a bridge and everything stops. Everything goes silent and it’s almost... peaceful. Then you finally get out from under the bridge and everything hits you just a little harder than before.”
He loosened his grip as I wriggled in his arms, forcing him away from me slightly so I could meet his eye. He rolled onto his back, watching me suspiciously as I shifted positions, throwing my leg over to straddle his hips. My hands reached out to him, slipping into his hair and tracing smooth patterns across his scalp. He closed his eyes with a murmur of appreciation, running his hands up my thighs before they settled on my hips, his thumbs brushing the tender skin beneath them. I breathed a sigh, drinking in the feeling of his hands on my skin, analysing the way his eyes fluttered slightly and a smile played on his lips as I tugged gently at the strands of hair that surrounded my fingers. I could stay this way forever, both of us losing ourselves in each other through the darkest of nights and the longest of days. If only the world was capable of such kindness.
I brushed my thumb over his cheek, leaning forward and placing the ghost of a kiss on his lips before returning to my earlier position, his lashes fluttering open as his eyes pleaded for me to return to him.
One of his hands slipped from my hip, sinking into the sheets as he pushed himself up to sit, the other snaking around my waist to hold me securely against him. He held my gaze for a moment before dipping his head, leaving a trail of gentle kisses along my collarbone. My skin felt as though it was burning beneath his lips, a fiery path leading up my neck and across my jaw. I sighed as my fervent hands moved of their own accord, returning to his hair and tangling themselves amongst the strands. I attempted to speak, to stop him, knowing that this would only serve to increase the inevitable pain I’d feel when he left again, but the words wouldn’t come. Anything I’d planned to say had quickly died in my throat the second his lips met mine, washing away my concerns and allowing me to sink into the deep and unforgiving ocean that was Bucky Barnes. I’d finally accepted that I would gladly allow myself to disappear beneath the waves, despite the agony I felt every time my lungs ran out of oxygen, leaving me gasping for the surface. It always took longer than I expected, to be able to breathe again. And no matter how sweet it felt, I’d always let myself sink again as soon as he asked.
“Buck... Bucky,” I mumbled against his lips, gently prying myself away, leaving less than an inch between our faces out of fear that he might slip away if I moved too far. “I don’t know how many more times I can do this.” My voice wavered slightly, no more than a whisper. He hushed me with a soft breath, my eyes flickering to a close as his hand brushed through the hair above my ear. I chastised myself for letting him silence me so easily, allowing him to become my weakness just as much as my strength.
I blinked myself back into the present, a tiny crease between my brows as I considered his words. There was nothing but sincerity in his eyes as he watched me carefully, his hand drawing comforting circles over my spine.
“You heard me,” His lips tugged into a slightly lopsided smirk as he regarded my stunned and dubious expression. He moved his hands to my hips, trailing his fingers up my sides, releasing a low chuckle as I shuddered at his touch. “Elena. Marakova.” He paused between each of my names, punctuating the words with chaste kisses to my jaw.
“It’s just you and me now,” I found myself quietly stunned at his declaration, my own lips stretching into a smile as he somehow managed to tug me closer to him than I already was, our chests pressed together as he glanced up at me through his lashes.
“I’m not gonna leave you again. We’ll face the rain together.”
A smile slipped onto my face, an expression he mirrored as he rested his forehead against my chest. He sucked in a deep breath, squeezing his arms tightly around my waist and pushing the breath out of me. I choked out a laugh as I tapped him on the shoulder, quickly reminding him of his strength as he chuckled out an apology.
“Now, Elena,” He started, leaning slightly away from me so he could meet my eye, “Stop with your riddles, forget about your worries and have a little fun for once.”
Before I realised what was happening, he had used his position to his advantage, throwing me to the side before rolling the same way, effectively pinning me beneath him. His hands grasped my wrists, securing them above my head and hindering any chance of escape I may have had.
“That is, if you still remember how to have fun...?” I narrowed my eyes, glaring at him playfully as he arched a flirtatious eyebrow.
“I know how to have fun.” I spoke slowly and determinedly, a flash of mischief in my eyes as a smirk tugged at my lips. He grinned, rolling his hips against mine, a low laugh rumbling in his chest as I gasped at the movement. A breath shuddered from my lips as he dropped his head to whisper in my ear.
