Author's Note: I got another one done! Huzzah!
Summary: Bucky is so tired from a mission but promised Sarah a beach day.
They hadn’t seen each other for nearly a month. It seemed like summer rolled in every villain of the week decided they needed to take over the world at that exact moment. Captain America, the new Falcon and Bucky Barnes had been on their feet for weeks trying to capture one bad guy and then the other. By the time they finally got a break they were all ready to crash.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, a beach trip had been promised to Sarah and Bucky was determined not to break it, so he arrived, (slightly smoking) and went with her on their romantic beach getaway.
Sarah wasn’t a fool though; she could tell Bucky was tired. Even supped up soldiers had their limits.
“You can sleep in if you want.” She suggested once they got to their hotel.
“No, I promised I’d spend quality time with you and that’s what I’m going to do.” Bucky promised. “Now let’s enjoy that sand and surf, yeah.”
She studied her man and decided to indulge him. Putting on her swimsuit they went outside and she urged him to sit down beside her on the lounge chairs so they could share a drink and put on some sunblock. The minute he leaned back against the chaise he was out just like she thought he would.
“Oh Bucky. You tried.” She sighed with a shake of her head. Dutifully she covered him with a towel, put on his baseball cap, and a pair of sunglasses on him so he didn’t sunburn, then ordered herself a hurricane and laid back beside him to enjoy the sounds of the surf. It wasn’t too bad just laying out there soaking up the sun while her significant other snored lightly.
“Hey little mama, this seat taken?”
Sarah peered over her shades at the tall, rather scrumptious looking black man looming over her. “No, you can take it if you need it.”
“Thank you.” He said, his eyes flickering over her. “Uh, you on your own?”
“No, I’m here with my boyfriend.” She gestured towards Bucky still sound asleep under his towel and hat.
The man gave her a bemused look. “Cozy.”
“He is…he works hard so when we got here he just…” She gestured and shrugged.
“Well my friends and I are about to play a game of dominoes. Interested?” He gestured towards the group close by.
Sarah looked over at Bucky then at the group of men and women. “Sure.”
Bucky felt the heat build and he woke up with a grunt and a full body stretch. Opening his eyes, he realized where he was and suddenly sat up. Sarah! His gaze darted around and quickly found her at a table surrounded by other people playing games. A man sat beside her, paying too much attention, and making her laugh. Instantly he got out of his chair.
Sarah saw him coming and smiled brightly. “Had a good nap, baby? Looks like you needed it.”
“Yeah, sorry about that. I completely neglected you-”
“-No, it’s fine, I’ve been having a fine time with Robert and his friends here. They’ve been excellent company.”
“Whoa,” Robert murmured noticing the metal arm. “That’s impressive. Hope you didn’t mind us borrowing your lady for a bit. She’s amazing.”
“Thank you, Robert.” Sarah laughed.
Bucky smiled briefly. “Uh thanks for keeping an eye on her, but I think I can take it from here…”
Sarah eagerly got up. “Thanks for the entertainment!”
“Any time little mama!” The group waved back.
Sarah urged Bucky to the waves, desperate for some cool waters and briefly enjoyed the refreshing ocean when he spun her around and kissed her hard. Surprised but pleased she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.
“Did Robert ask for your number?” He growled against her lips.
She smiled. “No, but he did ask how serious we were.”
Jealousy seized him and he pulled her tight against him, the waves hiding how possessively he clutched her ass cheeks. “Did he?”
“Sshh, I told him I was very committed to you. Don’t be so upset.” she reassured, wiggling against his hands.
“I let my guard down for a moment and there’s already someone ready to swoop down to take you from me.” He murmured against her mouth before claiming her with a deeper kiss.
Her toes curled in the sand, “You’re so cute when you’re possessive.” She teased.
“Yeah, well once we get back into the hotel room, I’m going to be damn adorable.” He promised, his blue eyes gleaming with heat.
Sarah shivered. The first beach day already looking very promising indeed.
