⚠️paused⚠️Thirsty for Devotion

Two

Bucky's and Geralt's gaze burn into my skin, I can feel it. Geralt looks at me and a slight provocative smile plays around the corners of his mouth. Steve, who is watching the whole scene, looks suspiciously from one to the other. "Have you met each other before?" he asks.
A little too indignantly, I answer: "What? No! Of course not."
I feel myself blushing, I quickly look at  the ground. Steve still watches me suspiciously.
"We've never met before," says Geralt.
Immediately I am a little grateful to him that he seems to be trying to help me. Now it's Tony who looks a little puzzled. "What about you, Bucky? Do you know my niece?"
"Nope," he replies, short. His gaze pierces me and my knees go weak.
Tony and Steve exchange a look. "Okay," says Tony afterward, "Then we'll leave you alone. The two of them already know about everything and can tell you, Raven. The others and I will discuss a few more things and are also on our way for another job."
After the men have left the room, Nat comes to me and whispers in my ear: "Stay strong and don't let yourself be wrapped around their finger, honey. If you need me, here's my number." She puts a small piece of paper into my hand. I smile gratefully at her and form a "thank you" with my lips. Nat gives me a short wink and then also leaves the room.
So now we're alone, I think to myself. Stay strong, be confident, and pull yourself together. For once, think with your brain and not with your vagina, I give myself a pep talk.
I turn towards them and take a deep breath: "Tell me, are you kidding me? What the hell are you two doing here?"
Bucky snorts: "We can ask you the same thing too."
Our eyes meet and I can feel the crackling in the air.
My heart starts pounding again like crazy. Stay calm, I think. "My uncle called me and asked for help. End of story. If I had known that I would meet you here, I would certainly not have come."
Geralt looks at me: "Me too. However, I had no idea that this monkey would be there too."
Bucky's eyes become slits: "And I didn't know that I had to work with Gandalf here."
They fixed each other and clenched their fists.
Not again, I think and roll my eyes: "For heaven's sake, boys. Pull yourself together. I don't feel like going to this kindergarten. Why do you think I ran away? I just couldn't stand your behavior anymore."
"You could have had it easier. You should have just chosen one of us,"  answers Bucky.
I stare angrily at him: "Don't you think I tried that? You know that very well, Bucky, so now don't pretend."
Bucky's gaze softens: "Okay, okay. I'm sorry," he says and looks down at the floor, somewhat ashamed.
"It's okay," I reply. "But can you please postpone your dick comparison until later?"
Geralt chuckles: "We know who's going to lose the dick comparison."
Bucky gasps, but before he can say anything, I say: „Stop it now. Enough. We have work to do. So what's the job?"
The men exchange a quick look and then Geralt begins to say: "Well, actually, the mission is very simple. We're supposed to help Tony and the others to stop Loki."
"Who the hell is Loki?" I ask.
"That is just an asshole demigod. He's sitting down here in the cell and we should be careful that he doesn't get out of there. He's had something there, Tesseract or something, in his wand. It's probably pretty powerful that thing and shouldn't get into his hands again, " Bucky explains.
I stare at him in disbelief: "Are you telling me that Tony called me to play babysitting here, or what? That's why he pissed off so quickly. Oh, Tony, you'll regret that."
I am beside myself with anger and also a little disappointed.
I believed my uncle would need me on a really important mission. Now, this was just shit. Geralt seemed to notice my annoyance: "Raven, listen. I think your uncle chose you because he knows that he can count on you if it gets worse. He knows that Loki has no chance against you because if he manages to escape from his cell, you'll spank his ass in such a way that he wishes he was never born. "
He slowly approached me: "Because you are a powerful woman. Unique, strong, talented, and indescribably beautiful." When he looks deep into my eyes, my stomach turns.
Bucky gets up from his chair: "Raven, can I speak to you for a moment, please?"
Annoyed, Geralt lets go of me.
"Um, yeah, sure. Let's go outside," I reply, leading the way.
When Bucky tries to follow me, Geralt grabs his shoulder: "If you touch her, you asshole, I'll break your neck."
Without turning around, Bucky replies: "You can try that."
Annoyed, I turn around: "Stop it! Both of you! I'm the only one who breaks something here. Including your dicks, if you don't finally stop and pull yourself together." I look from one to the other with an angry look. Then I turn around and go out: "Are you coming now, Bucky, or what?"
Without saying another word, Bucky follows me outside. Neither of us notices how Geralt has secretly sneaked after us and is now watching us.
