Got tagged by @buckynats and @piipaw! Thank you both as always :)

Last song: As of writing this, Lyrics of Death by 2 Times Terror. It's good for my personal DND brainrot.

https://youtu.be/gOrRJ7RCXg0

Favorite color: Brown. :)

Last book:

IDK if fics can count, so Opening Up: Body Modifications Interviews by Shannon Larratt. My reading's been lacking. Planning on reading The Left Hand Of Darkness ASAP. I'd also like to re-read and finally finish the Rain Wild Chronicles since I've been thinking about it again after like 6 years. Nobody likes Sintara like I do for real.

Last movie: Almost all movies I've watched in the past 8 months or so have sucked dick/I did not enjoy, I've complained about them enough. The exception to that was my comfort re-watch of the original Nosferatu in December. I don't think I posted about that.

Last game: I am currently on the Monster Hunter World grind.

Last show: I still don't watch shows (... The Munsters).

Last internet search: "Driver's code online". Trying to work up the courage to file an administrative request and begin the far too slow and expensive French journey of driver's license acquisition. For once my last search was not garbage.

God I'd tag people but I think everyone that I know has already gotten tagged once. Feel free to take this and run with it? I wanna get to know you (atm) 🫵

BuckyNat: Undercover flirting

Natasha checked herself in the mirror for one final time, making sure that every part of her disguise was perfect. She’d already secured her many concealed weapons and the black wig was impeccable. She wasn’t a big fan of the pale pink bridesmaids dress, but at least it was a flattering style.

She was going undercover at the wedding of an arm’s dealer’s niece, and they had intel that some very illegal transactions would be happening during the festivities. James would be lurking among the guests, keeping a sharp eye out.

It had been a long time since they’d been together on a mission, and this was their first as a couple.

She smiled at her reflection and left to rejoin the rest of the bridesmaids. It was game time.

Bucky was seated toward the back of the rows of guests and appeared to be casually people- watching, but he was mentally cataloging the guests and watching for the big names to show up. So far, he’d seen three. Oh, boy. This one would be a doozy.

The bridesmaids made their way up the aisle and he fixed his eyes on the stunning Natasha Romanoff. Good lord, she was so beautiful. The pink dress hugged her curves in a dangerous way and the little knowing smile she shot him when she reached the altar had his pulse speeding up. He’d have to really take care and not let it hinder the mission. Steve had been skeptical about this all along.

“Care for a dance, miss?” he asked her later at the reception.

She feigned a girlish giggle.

“I’d be delighted, handsome. The girls will be so jealous. They’ve been fawning over you all night.”

“Have they now?” he asked, playing along with her simpering act. “Cause I’ve been dyin’ to have a spin with you, but the men were all clamoring for you.”

“Lucky for you, they were all bores. I prefer gentlemen who provide more…….stimulating conversation.”

She smirked at Bucky, who responded with his most wicked smile.

“Stimulating is my specialty,” he said, with another filthy grin. “What do you say we get out of here?”

“I’d like that very much, hot stuff,” she purred, leaning up for a kiss, which he happily gave, knowing that that kiss was also their code to leave, having acquired the intel they were after.

“Natalia, you continue to amaze me,” he told her in the car. “We make a pretty awesome team, don’t we?”

“That we do, James. That we do,” she agreed. “Are you up for some celebration tonight?”

“Of course, doll,” he murmured happily.

omgjwkke buckynat ronance? are we getting a fight like the one in civil war and the “you could at least recognize me?” orrr 👀

essentially, yeah!

i have... conflicted feelings about the mcu adaptation of civil war. but i do think steve harrington would start something similar for his best friend.

anyways, i do think the fight from civil war and the "well, you could at least recognize me." would 100% happen. but not exactly as it happens in the movie.

in this version, i think the "you could at least recognize me," is much more flirtatious than it was. like, yeah, nancy and robin are fighting because of some fucked up code words, but nancy also somehow gets close enough to whisper it in robin's ear, voice low and almost taunting.

i think winter soldier robin would freeze up here, the lesbian part of her brain nearly overriding the winter soldier protocol so she just. freezes. hesitates. and it's long enough that nancy grabs the upper hand, whispering, "i'm sorry..." before knocking robin out cold.

[stillgirlfrommars]

you’ve got news

So, I already talked about this with @missmorwen​ and I know I don’t have the time to draw and make an actual comic out of it, BUT I cannot stop thinking about this SamSteve-post-engdame-fix-it story (with a dash of BuckyNat, ‘cause that’s just who I am) which is kinda crack and very rom-com (a bit you’ve got mail) inspired and doesn't make much sense, because... PLOT HOLES but * sigh * I kinda wanna share at least the idea so - bear with me:

So, instead of Nat dying, Steve sacrifices his Captain America powers on Vormir and comes back as Skinny!Steve and starts running a political blog called you’ve-got-news in secret, uncovering all kinds of shady business/corruption and becoming the bane of existence of every politician and greedy CEO - but it takes a while for his friends to figure out it's him who’s running that increasingly popular blog (which the new Captain America is actually a big fan of ;)). And the way that happens is as follows:

So, Steve almost died at the end of Endgame. The idiot (affectionate) of course still wanted to fight Thanos, but even with Thor’s Hammer, he took some serious, serious injuries which led to a tough talk with Sam, Nat and Bucky

Like I imagine, that while Steve would not have any regrets whatsoever about giving up his powers, he would still need some time to come to terms with the fact that he won’t be able to participate in the action like he used to. Even though, he actually wants and knows... it’s time to ... start something new, it’s still a process. So, there he is, trying to figure out who he is without the mantle of Captain America, re-defining the way he can and will fight against bullies in the future (cause there is no way he’s gonna stop that).

And to the surprise of everyone, Steve actually doesn’t press for participating in Avenger-style-fights anymore (he still does some of the practical mission planning and shit like that) but most importantly, he starts taking up new hobbies, like cooking or old hobbies like drawing - and he seems happier than he has in a long time, and yeah maybe it’s a bit too good to be true, if Sam starts thinking about it. But, hey, Steve finally seems to be happy so -

Meanwhile, Sam still becomes the new Captain America, and Steve is there while he is adjusting, finding himself in that role. He is there when Sam needs to talk things through, and yeah, it would still be a process like in tfatws series, but ... a little bit less alone, I guess. 

So, the new Captain America fights alongside Nat and Bucky - and it’s good, they work surprisingly well together, but also: those two are stuck right in the middle of a weird assassin!flirting situation (I’m imagening a lot of veeery intense staring at the other while cleaning their weapons or beating someone up, innuendos en masse, dark humour etc.). And frankly, it’s getting on Sam's nerves because they seem to be so oblivious about the whole damn thing. Neither of them is actually admitting to anything, no, they are too busy teasing him about the ‘crush’ he has developed on that mysterious dude who is running the famous political-youve-got-news-blog that gained momentum a while ago and is currently keeping all the corrupt politicians and CEOs on their toes.

So, yeah, Sam might have been caught a couple of times reading or reciting from that blog because - it has actually turned into a pretty efficient way of mobilising people to demonstrate for change and it did give him some tip-offs in regards to who the bad guy really was and yeah. But it’s not a crush... Sam just really likes reading the blog posts, okay. That dude seems pretty cool and they share the same moral code, so... whatever.

What Nat and Bucky and Steve don't know (and he’ll never tell them), is that Sam is actually kiiiiinda already frequently talking with the guy who runs the blog. Anonymously on both ends, of course (because for good reasons both of them are pretty careful about giving away information concerning their identities). And in a way that whole anonymity-thing makes it a lot easier to talk about stuff he finds harder to admit to the people who he knows directly. So, you could say, blog-guy has kinda become Sam's internet friend, but not his crush, no.

Honestly, the crush he is more concerned about (that he also isn't planning on telling anyone about any time soon, cause Bucky would just tease him and Nat would start scheming) is, well, it’s Steve. Because, damn, he likes their get-togethers a lot, the meals Steve's cooking are honestly to die for. They watch baseball together, they do museum-trips... And the way they can talk about (almost) everything... He just feels understood and... yeah, loved (maybe not in the way that he wishes for, but still) and it’s nice to see Steve so happy and okay, maybe it’s getting a bit out of control because Sam took Steve with him to visit Sarah and his nephews and Sarah kinda saw right through his act of ‘hey, this is my best friend’ and ‘what do you mean, I don’t have feelings- okay. Yeah maybe I do’ and told him in no uncertain terms to fucking do something about it and get his shit together.

The thing is, he’s got it bad. But Sam is also torn, because this is the best fucking friendship he's ever had and he does not want to jeopardise that. So, in the end he ends up talking about this with his Internet friend... about how he kinda has this huge crush on his best friend, and his Internet friend is like, ‘TELL ME ABOUT IT, big fucking same here UGH. And I feel like I’m being SO obvious about it all. It’s honestly embarrassing. My other best friend keeps teasing me ‘bout it and tells me to just go for it, but that guy still hasn’t managed to ask out the girl he’s interested in, so, what does he know, right?’. And Sam laughs - at least he’s not alone.

So the days go by (Sam’s pining only increases, Steve took him to a wine tasting the other night and he almost... in his drunk state... almost... but he didn’t) until one day, while blog-guy and Sam are chatting, all of the sudden the blog-guy is like, ‘Shit, I think someone's breaking into my apartment’ and then like, ‘Okay, yes they are’ - and Sam's like, ‘call 911′, and blog-guy writes back ‘mmh think I can handle them’ (and Sam’s like ‘WTF... I know way too many people with zero regards for their own well-being, myself included’)

But then blog-guy is not answering anymore, so Sam frantically calls up Nat who rushes to his flat and Sam says: ‘You need to find out where that IP adress is located ASAP - the dude with that famous blog is in danger.’

And Nat does that multitasking thing where she’s working on the problem while ribbing Sam about the fact that, apparently, Captain America's Internet bestie is that famous blog dude, and- 'Are you sure it’s not a crush?'

But after another minute, Nat sighs and is like, ‘I can't find the location, this thing is encrypted af, it’s impossible.’ Suddenly, she notices something about the setup of the encryption and-, ‘Hang on a second, it was me who set this up for someone back in 2011.′ And as she slips on her jacket, she says to Sam, ‘Come on. I know where we have to go!’

So they make their way to what turns out is Steve's (!!!!) apartment and find him in the middle of a fight against over half a dozen heavily armed people, and yeah - he’s actually doing pretty okay for himself ‘cause he outsmarted a couple of them, but also- they kind of outnumber him, so Nat and Sam get to work.

And Sam doesn't even have time to fully register what that means re:blog-guy until they have successfully defeated the bad guys. After that's done, Steve is like, ‘Thanks guys, but how the hell did you know I was in trouble? Nat... you didn’t bug my apartment, did you??’

And Nat tstsk and then she just laughs because this is priceless and OF CoURSE it is Steve who is behind that blog... (she's a bit mad at herself for not figuring it out sooner, and a bit sad that Steve didn't feel like he could tell her, and that he assumes she has is flat bugged but, also,... kinda impressed.) But then she looks at him with a warm smile on her face, shaking her head, saying, ‘No, I didn’t, Steve.’ Her gaze wanders back and forth between Steve and Sam and she humms- 'That actually makes so much sense oh my god.' So, she leaves them ‘to talk’ ;) and for Sam to explain everything’ - and then it’s just the two of them.

And Sam does explain everything and is like, 'So you're that Blog dude, erm...' He's scratching the back of his neck, cheeks flushed, 'Turns out, we've been talking for months over that blog of yours. I'm (insert-Sam’s-username-here).'- and Steve's eyes go wide and you can literally see him processing that information right then and there and he's sputtering out a light laugh, and he's like 'Hang on a second... I... umm, okay, I gotta ask. So, that best friend you've got a crush on...' Well, it’s now or never -'Is you, yeah..', Sam admits and starts, 'and....' They both laugh again and Steve nods and just says- 'yeah, it’s you, too.'

And then they kiss and yaaay, happy ending!!!

And then the epilogue would be about them having a nice dinner with Bucky and Nat a couple of months later, and the whole time, Sam and Steve are being very much in loveTM. The three guys are standing in the kitchen, while Natasha is in the bathroom and Bucky's making a funny quib about how sickeningly cute Sam and Steve are together - and Sam, well, Sam just raises his eyebrows and is like, 'You know what, you're not allowed to say anything bout that, you and Romanoff have been acting waaaaay worse over the last year. At least we got our shit together in the end, what's your excuse, you are obviously absolutely in love with her!', and of course Nat chooses that exact moment to enter the room, hand on Bucky's waist, dropping a kiss on his cheek and is like, 'What do you mean, we've been dating for 6 months?' And Steve laughs and Sam groans bc .... he loves his friends, he does, but clearly, CLEARLY they ALL have to work on their communication skills!

The End.

Hello, I'm loving your analysis on the MCU and Marvel. If you don't mind my asking, what do you love about Bucky and Natasha, as individuals and as a couple? What other characters do you like? No obligation to answer, just wanted to thank you.

hi, thank u so much! 💕

what i love about bucky and Natasha as individuals is that they’re both morally complex, but extremely skilled assassins/spies. i’ve loved assassin/spy/mercenary stories and characters all my life. bucky and Natasha represent two of my favourite types of assassin archetypes, the Born Into It type and the Never Fully Came Back From Being Forced Into It type. 

 I love the interiority they both have as assassins whose lives have depended on their ability and willingness to kill and betray and manipulate on behalf of others, and how this gives them a VERY different morality than other more “superhero” like characters when they gain autonomy as individuals. 

The only thing consistent about Nat in the MCU and even throughout the comics is this awareness and respect for that she can’t be an Avenger in the way someone like Iron Man or Hawkeye is. She is too cognizant of how naive it is to imagine any single action, team, or person can be good. she has a skillset that she is the best judge of who needs that skillset. sometimes it’s herself, sometimes the avengers, sometimes dark shadowy agencies-- but the autonomy Bucky and Natasha insist on because of the trauma of their autonomy being taken from them is what I love about them as individuals. they don’t dogmatically adhere to the moral codes or expectations of anyone but themselves and lend their skills to those whose visions align with that. 

We’re only just now seeing hints of that with MCU!Bucky. He broke Zemo, his own abuser, out of prison because he knows it's more important to find the serum and stop it from being misused (as it was on Bucky himself) than it is to abide by laws of the state or the moral codes of those around him. even if it hurts himself, sam, the Wakandans. because he knows he has the skills do it and it needs to be done. As individuals, Bucky and Nat’s moral code is directly tied to preventing what happened to them from happening again, not to some lofty idea of good or bad. In this way, they feel a lot more grounded and relatable as characters to me.

For me, that’s also partly why they’re so compelling as a couple. They know, understand, and respect one another in a way that no one else in their lives can because their traumas are entwined (i.e. Bucky as the Winter Soldier being Nat's trainer in the Red Room). it's why that line that Bucky says to Nat in the comics - about not being a good man, but she's the only one who understands that - hits so hard. Because it's true. For both of them. When they're together it's the closest they come to feeling seen and healing because they can see each other's trauma clearer than anyone else and know what the other needs in a way no one else can.

As a reader, I can't tell you how much I love their romance! I love it so much because for so long I'd never seen these characters' backstories/inner lives explored so intimately. So often we're on the outside looking in when it comes to Bucky and Nat (we still very much are in the MCU), but when they're together because they have this intimate understanding of each other, we're treated to these amazing character insights u don't get anywhere else. We don't even get that level of insight from Steve or Clint (their best friends).

Until i encountered buckynat, even though I found the characters entertaining individually, i never really Got Them until I read The Winter Soldier comics and saw how they brought out each other's characters. Then, I loved them. And I suppose I am kinda a sucker for little tragedy of it too. They're both too independent to ever really be A Couple and know in their line of work it's too dangerous, but they're there for each other when they can be. i think that's kinda lovely. almost ideal, all things considered.

As a writer, I also think they're kinda the perfect example of how romance is a great way to allow characters to get to know one another and for the audience to know them. They're a testament to how the act of a character getting to know another can also be getting to know themselves. For both better and worse. It's truly a tragedy we'll never really get this with either in the MCU.

Anyways, this is long. Thank you for reading! x PS. other characters from Marvel I love and could talk about forever are Deadpool, Hawkeye, Moon Girl, Wolverine and Storm, Kamala Kahn, Magneto (i generally LOVE the X-men), the Maximoff family, Gambit, Kate Bishop, Gamora and Nebula.

I'm going to see Black Widow tomorrow so I read Black Widow v1, v2, v3, and v4 and also Black Widow 2 which is different for some reason

Black Widow v1

I didn't care much for the plot but I liked the interactions between Natasha and Yelena

I really liked the fight scenes in this

Black Widow v2

This one made me uncomfortable but it was definitely supposed to

It was an interesting character study in how Yelena and Natasha contrast

omg they're sisters I'm so excited to see their relationship depicted on the big screen /s

The art in this one was nice

Definitely a very weird story though and not one I'd necessarily recommend

Black Widow v3

The covers were by Greg Land 😐

It had a lot to say about societal expectations for women and the double standard which is weird bc it was written by a man 😐

The plot about Nat finding out what the Red Room did to her felt far more like a feminist rejection of how women are treated than "the last thing someone bought me for my birthday was perfume because I'm a woman isn't it awful how women are forced to focus on cosmetics"

Speaking of Nat finding out what the Red Room did to her, this seems to be where the MCU got the whole infertility thing except they removed it from everything important about it to focus solely on "I can't have children 😢"

Black Widow 2

This seems to be the direct sequel to v3, but v3 is labeled on the wiki as an ongoing series not a limited series so what happened? Why was it canceled and replaced with this? I'm very interested in what was happening behind the scenes when this was published, if anyone knows.

Yelena is in this. I can only assume she was in something else in between that I didn't read bc otherwise she went straight from "spy questioning what she stands for and if it's the right path for her" to "lingerie model in Cuba who 'hasn't fired a gun in years'" with no development.

Not the lesbophobia 😔

Black Widow v4

THE NAME OF THE ROSE ARC WAS SO GOOD THE ART IS SO PRETTY I LOVE IT

Buckynat 🥺

Marjorie Liu please write for Nat again

The Kiss or Kill arc was significantly less good but it wasn't horrible

Reading these made me remember how watered down Nat is in the movies and in her current series. Let her be a little morally grey! Let her do a little murder! I don't need all of my superheroes to have a strict "no killing" moral code. Anyway can't wait to watch disney-fied Natasha and her family tomorrow.

If you made it this far enjoy this cute outfit (Black Widow v4 #1)

WANTED PLOTS

Hello, I’m Rain/Rae (she/her). I’ve been doing the RP thing for at least a decade now. I haven’t been super active on tumblr as of late, but I am looking for more discord RPs so I’m back (sorta). I’m semi-selective and only looking to write with people 25 and up, with a preference for para/multi-para replies, but quality over quantity. Hoping to keep something going long term. I want a partner I can chat with ooc, share headcanons and plot with. I’ll probably send you pics of my kids, you can show off your dog or art or whatever. This is a hobby not a jobby, I won’t harass you for replies, and hopefully you won’t either.

Below the cut are plots or pairings I’m interested in exploring. That’s not to say I’m not open to other ideas, more a jumping off point for us. Hit me up if you’re intrigued! Or if you prefer just like or reblog this post and I’ll send you a message.

PLOT BUNNIES

Slice of Life plots. Give me: Long term couples with kids who are having doubts. Single parent falling for their kid’s nanny. Two people who travel for work often and the occasional run in turns into the occasional hook-up and now they’re coordinating lay-overs but they never discuss their home lives. Hook-ups with emotional pining. Slow burn and break my heart. 

Spy Thriller! Protégée/Mentor, rival assassins, or some other idea you want to throw my way. High tech gadgets, raised to be a weapon, mysterious backstories, contacts and safe houses around the world, secret codes, every interaction dripping with sexual tension but not an ounce of trust. ((Give me all the tropes, a dash of international intrigue, and let’s take down a human trafficking ring or two! Open to just playing BuckyNat, Clintasha, or Romanogers too.))

Muse A is an archaeologist, top name in their field. Muse B is a linguist at the dig site, on hand for translation assistance having grown up in the area. When Muse A uncovers a strange artifact Muse B quickly discovers this is only the first clue that leads the pair on an exciting adventure. But is everything as it seems or is there ancient magic at work? ((This could go in so many directions, historical treasure hunt, a mission from the gods, an Indiana Jones-esqu adventure, Let’s figure it out together!))

I’ve always wanted to try a plot where we each create a character, but keep them a secret from each other, essentially go into the RP blind. We can keep it simple with a new neighbors plot or ride share road trip arranged on Craigslist like it is 2007. I imagine we could each bring in a few (secret) plot drops that drag up something from our character’s past or disrupt the status quo with an accident, we can pull those at random as the RP goes on to keep things from getting stale. ((Okay, I’ve done this twice now and it’s a blast! Please pick this up you won’t be disappointed.))

Muse A is a reaper/angel of death working alone for a millennia and perfectly content with the status quo, Muse B was supposed to die but instead simply walked through the veil and didn’t move on. Turns out this is starting to happen around the world with no explanation. Suddenly Muse A finds themself working with a partner as they both try to uncover the reason the dead are locked out of the afterlife. Muse B is processing their “death”, what they’ve left (or gained), and where they’re going next. ((Come plot this out with me! Let’s talk philosophy, world religions, the afterlife, and grumpy grim reapers))

Ask me about Arabella Figg.

FANDOMS:

I’m equally happy to create OCs or write characters from a couple fandoms. I mostly stick to writing HP and Marvel, I’m open to anything from rewriting Endgame to a Raising Harry Wolfstar, additionally any of the above plots could be a starting point. Honestly, if you wish it I’m probably game. I’m DYING to write Natasha.

Come and chat! We can compare ships and preferred characters and figure out what we want to write together.

MISCELLANEOUS WORD VOMIT:

LGBTQ+ friendly. I’m 31 and will only write with 25+. No triggers but I’ll be mindful of yours. Smut or FTB your pick. I’m open to multiple threads and multiple characters. Only looking for Discord threads at this time. Poly ships a plus.

Twitter fans are already complaining about the show possibly giving bucky a male coded characterization where he's sad and formal instead of, and i quote, "disaster dumb bitch gay" im convinced they love the character they read about in the fanfics rather than the bucky in the comics or movies because comic bucky is mostly a sad helpless romantic(buckynat) with dry/ironic humor who stabs people even when he's cap

😬😬 oh boy. I mean yeah it’s certainly possible some folks are getting confused about what Bucky’s character is like in canon vs fanon because... he doesn’t have that much of a character in MCU canon lol. Comics may inform his character but there’s so much there to choose from.

For the Buckynat smut-a-thon request: Mission Sex While on a mission, Nat makes Bucky extremely jealous when she starts to flirt or seduce the target. Bucky finally has enough of it which leads to some rough love making. Thank you for reading and considering this

Basically the inversion of Kitchen table issues.

She doesn’t know who thought it would be smart to place them on opposingsides of this illegal bio-enhancing drugs deal. Sure, covering both theseller’s and the buyer’s side might look good on paper, but in reality, itmeans they have to pretend not to know each other, at all, and not to beinterested in each other either. And she also has to get close to the guy whohas the formula for these drugs and she has to be quick about this before thedeal takes place. Which means at the presentation slash negotiation. Whichmeans under the twitching eye of her increasingly possessive boyfriend. Yeah,that was clearly not thought through.

She laughs and smiles, touching the target’s thigh while doing so. Heautomatically leans in. The presentation is still going on and James is sittingsomewhere behind them so he can’t even look away. She’s kind of sorry for him.

Her pen drops and she leans down, giving her target a clear view of hercleavage. He picks it up for her, her fingertips lingering a bit on his handwhen he hands it over. Men are so easy. She’s just stringing him along.

They focus on the presentation until she thinks of a snarky comment andleans over to tell the target in a low, flirtatious voice while meeting herboyfriend’s eye who pretends to be seriously unimpressed. She smirks, pullingback. Alright, maybe this is a little fun.

When the presentation is over, they get up and walk to a conference room,chatting about the results and the tech. The target doesn’t say much, instead focusedon slipping an arm around her shoulders in a supposedly collegial manner thatalso happens to bring his hand almost down to the swell of her breast. Too lowfor her liking but she plays along, as is her job. The few hallways seem quitelong to her.

James bumps into her when rounding a corner, knocking the target’s arm offher shoulder. She turns around indignantly. “Excuse me?”

“Oh,” he states coldly, which might sound more asshole-ish and indifferentif you don’t know better. “I’m sorry.”

Natasha snorts, turns around and walks ahead of them, punching in the codeof the conference room door and welcoming them in with a warm smile, except forher boyfriend who gets a warning glare. They sit around the table and starttalking money, which is boring, and delivery, which is a lot more important.She spreads her legs slightly so that her pantyhosed knee touches the target’sthigh. James pretends not to notice.

She bites her lip as if concentrating. The discussion gets a little heated.It’s funny to listen to them obsessing over a couple of hundred thousand dollarwhen you know that the deal will never be allowed to go through anyway. She’llmake sure of that. She gets up and pours her camp some water. A wet sheensticks on her lips as if accidentally. James gives her a hostile look.

Being on opposite teams here also means they can’t meet, can’t talk thisthrough, can’t assuage any fears. That will all have to wait until they’rethrough. The target touches her thigh gratefully when she sits down and drinkshis water in one gulp. Oh, he must be running hot. She wonders what he imaginesdoing to her.

The negotiators settle on a price and payment modalities and she writes itall down like a good secretary. The discussion now turns to the delivery. Thetarget still has his hand on her thigh, stroking and pinching her pantyhose.She tries to keep her breathing even as his hand moves up her thigh. God, shehopes they’re done soon so she can have a break from this guy.

James’ grip on the table tells her someone else needs a break as well.

They do meet before this whole thing is over because there is a singlesharp knock on her motel room door and he is standing there, fuming. “You can’tbe here,” she states flatly.

He snorts and walks past her into the crappy room. The sellers can’t affordluxury until they get the money. She closes the door and crosses her arms.“You’re alone?”

“Of course I’m alone,” she replies coolly. “And my boss is right nextdoor.”

“And the handsy scientist?” he questions rigidly.

“At his house across the city,” she says. “As I should also be so I can getthe fucking formula.”

He rolls his eyes. “You really had to do that while I was watching.”

“Actually, yeah,” she replies unfazed. “I don’t see him that often. And ifyou paid any attention, you’d know the deal is supposed to happen only threedays from now.”

“So what,” he states. “You’ll bed him tomorrow? Get his dirty hands allover where they don’t belong? That’s your plan?”

“Don’t be ridiculous,” she says. “I’m not sleeping with him. I just need toget into his house.”

He snorts. “Yeah, sure. And how else are you going to do that? Then whyeven bother getting all touchy-feely?”

“What’s your problem?” she interrupts coldly. “I stuck to the rules and I’mgoing to stick to the rules. Just because he’s harassing me…”

“He is an asshole but you definitely egged him on,” he insists. “Don’t playdumb. You knew what you were doing, you always do.”

“So what,” she returns. “I’m allowed to do my job. You don’t tell me shit.I didn’t throw a tantrum when you were totally not shagging that French girl.”

“I wasn’t shagging her.” He shakes his head. “Just get on the bedand tell me what you’re going to do with him while I suck the life out of you.”

Oh, that’s all he wants, reassurance. She grins, pulling her skirt up andsitting on the bed. “Don’t rip the pantyhose.”

He immediately rips the pantyhose and the panties too, for good measure.She rolls her eyes, leaning back a bit. He pulls her skirt up even more to lookbetween her legs. “Mhm. Touch yourself.”

She drops on her elbows and sneaks a finger between her legs, gatheringsome wetness before circling her clitoris. He makes a choked noise, causing herto grin and rub harder. He’s staring, nothing else. She groans, head fallingback.

His hands push her knees apart so he has a good view. She starts drawingpatterns, teasing hearts going around, 8-shapes and stars. Stars are thefucking best. But it’s mostly for show and she loses patience after a bit,rubbing harder without any finesse. Her hips arch off the mattress. She raisesher chin to grin at him salivating over her. Her head falls back again when shecomes, though rather shallow.

She smirks at him, catching her breath. “Again?”

He looks really helpless, standing over her, faltering between watching hertouch herself and doing it himself. It’s hard, isn’t it. She waits, lazilyrunning her finger through her folds.

He finally sinks to his knees, pulling her to the edge of the mattress.“So. Tell me.”

“Tell you what?” she asks playfully while he licks her finger clean.

He snorts, lapping over her folds. “Come on.”

She sighs, lying down. “Mhm. Well, I was going to go over tomorrow. Checkin whether everything is alright.”

He pushes his tongue into her by way of answer. She is in no haste tocontinue speaking, even more so now. She sighs and buries her fingers in hisdark hair.

He pulls back, clearly annoyed. “And?”

“Oh.” She pushes her blouse up to run her hands over the skin of herstomach. “Mhm. Well. According to the rules we agreed on, I was going to givehim a lousy hand job, make him feel like he pressured me into it so he doesn’ttell anyone I was there, take the formula and go.”

He hums, lips vibrating against her. She sighs again. “Yeah, I guess that’sit.”

He peaks up. “Wanna show me?”

“You want a lousy hand job?” Natasha asks with amusement.

He snorts, getting on the bed over her. “Why does it have to be lousy?”

She pulls at his belt and his pants. “Would you rather I give him a greathand job?”

He rolls his eyes while her hand dips down his pants. “Of course not. But Idon’t want a lousy one for me.”

“Be glad you’re getting anything,” she chides, rubbing him with her thumb.He steadies himself with his hands on her shoulders, pushing her down, eyesclosed. She submits and drops back on the mattress.

He opens his eyes to look down at her splayed out. Her hand continues topump him. “Show me your tits.”

She snorts, one hand going to the top button. “Am I supposed to doeverything?”

“Yes,” he replies, pushing her hand out of his pants. “I’ll take care ofthat if you need a second hand.”

She arches her back, popping the buttons one by one. He watches her nimblefingers while working up and down his length. She leans up to slip off the openblouse, his crotch on her eye level, then unclasps her bra and throws it to theside as well. “Happy now?”

“No.” He pushes his pants down to his thighs.

She rolls her eyes, laying down again. “You wanna give me instructions forthat too?”

He leans over her wordlessly and she’s a lot lower on the bed so his dickis above her face almost immediately, easily in her reach but also notobtrusive. She lifts her head and starts giving him little kitten licks.

He needs both arms to steady himself so he can’t push her around and shedoes what she wants. She lets his dick rest on her tongue, mouth open, thensucks on her way up. This is not a position for bobbing her head and shedoesn’t want to either, so she just caresses the tip with her tongue. Hegroans.

Eventually, he pushes her down forcefully with his left on her neck. Shealmost feels the metal underneath. No. Just her imagination. “Gonna ruin you,darling.”

“Then get to it,” she returns impatiently, rubbing her legs together.

He snorts. “Shut up and turn over.”

Anger flares up in her immediately. Oh no. No way. “I’m not your fuckingwhore, Barnes.”

Her tone makes him back down immediately. “Fine, then move up at least.”

She acquiesces to that, crawling up until she can place her head on thepillow. She waits, staring at the ceiling. His fingers trail up her thighs, thetips dipping in her cunt. She breathes.

His fingers slam into her without warning. She jerks up, screaming. Fuck.No, she has to stay quiet. He grins, slowly pulling his fingers back. “Shouldmuffle you if you’re gonna make noises like that.”

She tries to catch her breath, then goes out on a limp and nods. He does asurprised double take so she has to nod again. Finally, he carefully puts his righthand over her mouth. She groans into it when his fingers slowly push into her.She can breathe through her nose without problem. He smirks. “Oh, look at you.Pull your knees to your chest.”

She complies, his fingers reaching even deeper into her. She moans into hishand again. He starts fingerfucking her. She arches up as much as she can.

Her orgasm hits unexpectedly. She screams into his hand again while theother keeps going relentlessly. He’s grinning at the mess that she is. Shelicks his hand when she can spare a thought for it, glad that it’s the rightwhere he feels the rough wetness. He pulls it back, groaning and wiping it onthe sheets. “God, you’re dirty.”

“Hello kettle,” she shoots back. She’d rock her hips against his hand ifshe could but not while she is folded in half.

He snorts. “You’re still not gonna turn over, are you.”

“Nope,” she confirms, popping her lips at the last sound. “Not your whore.”

“I didn’t say that,” he complains, pushing his fingers in and out of heragain. “I’d never say that.”

“Then stop asking me to do stuff I don’t want to do,” she replies, grippingher shins.

He rolls his eyes. “Can I fuck you now?”

“Oh.” She smirks, leaning into the breathy voice. “Yes.”

He smiles wickedly, slamming his fingers into her again. She bites downhard on her lip to keep quiet. It’s not easy. “Want you helplessly fucked outbefore I fuck you.”

“Then we’re gonna be here for a while,” she replies, trying to stare himdown even though her head is spinning a bit.

“Sssshhh.” He leans down and sucks on her clit without slowing down withhis fingers. She groans. Okay, that’s better. His right hand finds her mouthagain so she can scream without worrying about being heard.

She does scream after only a minute, everything tensing up, her noisesmuffled. Still, not helplessly fucked out. He pulls her legs around his hipsand puts the fingers into her mouth. She bites him while licking them clean,again and again.

He pushes into her before she’s even done so she has to gasp and moanaround his fingers. He groans as well, stopping halfway. “God, Nat, you’redriving me nuts.”

She can’t talk so she just raises her hips and sucks his fingers in deeper,to the point where it’s almost uncomfortable and she has to be careful not togag. He groans and pushes the rest of the way into her.

She releases his fingers, not caring to dry them. “You’re gonna tell me howbad I’ve been and that you’re gonna punish me?”

He snorts, flicking his hair over his shoulder and starting to pull back.“Like you’d listen to that.”

“Then what are you gonna do?” she asks, raising her head.

“Fuck you.” He bites her lip and snaps his hips against her. “Already doingit.”

“Correct,” she gasps out, every thrust of him rocking through her. “Canconfirm.”

He rolls his eyes at her again. Oh, pissing him off is kind of fun. “Don’tbe a smartass.”

She has the perfect retort but it slips her mind when he slams into heragain. Groaning. She bites down on the soft flesh of her hand to keep fromscreaming. He grins down at her, undulating his hips. “Oh, look at that.”

He’s dragging over the right spots so her back shoots up, whole bodyconvulsing and contracting. He’s so fucking smug about it. But she can’t stopherself from showing him that he’s doing it right, doing her right, and she’snot sure she would want to either.

He’s nibbling at her breast now, giving her a break. She breathes in deeplyand yanks him to the other side by his hair. She also grins smugly when hetwitches inside of her. He tries to move up but she keeps her iron grip.

Of course, when he slams into her, despite the bad angle, his hair slipsthrough her fingers and he’s above her head again in a second. She snorts andopens her mouth but is cut off by another thrust. She screeches undignifiedly.He smirks. “You wanted to say something?”

Asshole. She digs her nails into his back until he hisses. Oh, now she canmark him all over. All hers. She pushes against his chest. “Stop.”

He pulls out of her, confused. She rolls over on her stomach and pushesherself up on hands and knees, eyes closed as if that helped her not thinkabout it. He has the good sense not to say anything because she would kick himoff the bed and call this whole thing off straight away. She holds her breathwhile he slowly slips into her. He groans, grabbing onto her hips and pullingher back onto him. She presses her eyes shut at the sensation.

His head drops onto her shoulder, his breath hitting her ear, as he slowlyslips in and out of her. She moans quietly. He starts nibbling on her ear.“Love you.”

She has to snort. “Weird thing to say right now.”

“True, though.” She jerks and he shushes her. “Really hard to pretend notto know you. Hate it. Hate watching that guy touch you.”

Her arms are shaking. Maybe she’s bracing too hard. “Yeah,” she breathes.“Sorry about that.”

He turns her head so he can kiss her, groaning. Snapping his hips knocksher out of his reach again. She lets her head drop, focusing on his sliding inand out, biting her lip. Fuck. She won’t admit it but she actually likes this.Her stomach is tingling. She pushes back against him and he slams into herharder. She melts into it, breathy moans, until she breaks, dropping andscreaming into the pillow, contracting and convulsing around him.

He grabs her shoulder and rolls her on her back, slipping out of her in theprocess. Her brain is on fire but she sees what he wants to do and snorts.“Really?”

“Just this once,” he breathes, wrapping his right hand around himself, upand down.

She rolls her eyes, arching up for his benefit and slipping two fingersdown her front for hers. “Fine.”

His eyes close. She watches him jack off above her, lazily drawing theRussian alphabet between her legs. Ж. Ж is the best. It’s even better when hedoes it with his tongue.

He makes a whimpering noise, biting his lip hard. She grins. Oh, look atthat. She turns up the volume on her sighs and moans.

He opens his eyes, leaning down until he’s only an inch or two above her,eyes on her face. She licks her lips with a smirk. He groans, hand turning intoa fist, and it all comes out, shooting on her stomach and breasts. She breathesheavily while he milks out the rest.

Her hand is still moving when he finishes and he notices, biting the softskin around her nipple. She mewls, rubbing faster. Her other hand grips hishair and leads him to lick his cum off her chest. Mhm. She arches against himagain. He focuses on her protruding nipples. Her grip goes rigid and a moanspills out. She gives in to the throes, thrashes under his mouth.

He slips down while she cools off, gently lapping her folds clean. She’ssensitive and pulls him back up pretty soon before he starts something he can’tfinish. He lies down next to her on his side and watches her grab a kleenex andwipe every drop of him off her. “That was okay, right?”

“Yeah,” she replies, tossing the handkerchief on the bedside stand. That’sfor throwing away later. “But I prefer it when you’re not pissed at me.”

He sighs, rolling on his back. “Think I got that out of my system.”

She snorts. “You’re not staying the night, if that’s what you’re after.”

“I’m not after anything,” he returns, pulling up his pants andfixing the general mess he is. “Stop ascribing me sinister motives. I justwanted to fuck you.”

“Uh,” Natasha interrupts. “Dominance. You wanted to feel like you own me.”

He snorts. “Really? No. I just wanted you to care about what I want. I justwanted to be assured you’d give me more than a lousy hand job.”

“That’s just a nicer way to put it,” she says.

He rolls his eyes. “It wasn’t about forcing you or making youuncomfortable. And I’m well aware there’s nothing I can do to stop you fromgiving that asshole the lousy hand job he doesn’t deserve.”

“Good, cause I’m still going to do that,” she replies, slipping off theripped pantyhose and panties. Now she’s all naked and he’s all dressed.

He sighs. “We never took that weekend off that we talked about, did we?”

She snorts. “Oh, we tried. But a robot riot, cyber terrorists, good old-fashionedHydra stuff, some intel here, some intel there…”

“Don’t forget the genetically manipulated spiders,” he adds with disgust.

She snorts, sitting up. “No way. We were so close to boning.”

“I was thinking about the actual spiders,” he clarifies. “But if it’s moreon your mind how worked up I had you, that’s great.”

“Keep telling yourself that,” she mutters, putting on her bra. “Alright, Igotta check in with my boss. Already late. Make sure he didn’t hear anything.”

He rolls his eyes and stays put. “You’re making me climb out of the windowagain, aren’t you.”

“Yes. Oh, and in terms of blasts from the past,” she adds, turning to grinat him mischievously. “I really think you need to practice your Russiansometime. Between my legs.”
