The Game That Started it All

Jealousy

He looked pissed off the way I have been acting towards Tony. But he was also very obviously turned on by my outfit and how I was trying to make them both squirm.

Before Steve can even muster up a sentence, someone else joins in on our conversation.

"Well you look great tonight Miss Romanoff." A voice comes from behind me. I turn to see a laughing Bucky.

"Hey Buck! Oh and also." I said leaning into him.

"Never call me Miss Romanoff again." I whisper, but still so Steve and Tony could hear me.

Then it hit me. I should flirt intensely with Bucky right in front of Steve, his best friend. This is gonna be great.

"So Bucky how are you." I said putting a hand on his bicep and squeezing lightly.

"I'm good Nat how are you?" He says, smirking at me.

"I'm doing wonderful thanks for asking." I return the smirk and move closer to him. He puts his arm around me which surprised me but I allowed it, Steve's face was priceless. He couldn't keep his eyes off us and looked really tense.

Bucky then leans in and whispers something in my ear.

"Can I talk to you for a second?"

"Yeah sure." I smile.

"Excuse us gentlemen." Bucky says while we walked away together, his arm still around me.

He leads me into a broom closet around the corner and I became very confused.

"Bucky what's going on what do you want to talk to me about?" I ask.

He looked right at me not saying anything right away.

"Something you wanna tell me Nat?" He looks at me smiling.

"Uh what?" I ask confused.

"You and Steve are obviously fucking cmon." He laughs with the biggest smile across his stupid face.

"What are you talking about? I wouldn't go for Steve we're too good of friends." I retort, easily lying.

"Ok so what happened back there, you weren't trying to make him jealous in any way by flirting with Thor, Tony and myself. I was the Winter Soldier yanno." He explains, knowing he cracked the code.

Damn you Bucky Barnes. He saw right through me. Him and I being quite close and also Steve's best friend didn't help matters. I also know that Bucky has the biggest mouth when it comes to gossip like this.

"We just kissed a couple times that's it Bucky. Also if you so much as hint at the fact to any other living soul that Steve and I have kissed, I will not hesitate to find you and kill you." I scowl, intimidating him. He knew I was serious being an assassin and what not.

"Ok, ok I promise I won't but Nat,"

"What?" I said trying to leave the closet.

"I'm happy for you both." He said smiling and giving me a hug.

"Thanks." I say smiling back.

"Wanna help me make Steve more jealous?" I ask laughing.

"Yes of course." He replied as we walked out of the broom storage with his arm around me once again.

We walked over to the couch to talk with everyone as the party was dying down. I flirt with Loki a bit because I know it would drive Steve mad and I then decide I need a drink. I get out from Bucky's grasp and head to the bar.

When I get there I order a margarita but I am quickly pulled away by someone towards the bathroom.

"Hey!" I say being lead into the bathroom by a strong arm.

I turn around to see a very angry Steve as he locks the door and turns to me. I couldn't help but smirk.

"What the hell are you doing?" He asks, clearly jealous and losing his cool.

"Language." I mock, egging him on.

He steps even closer to me and asks again, "Seriously, what are you doing?"

"What do you mean?" I ask innocently.

"You have been flirting with all our friends the whole night I thought you liked me!" He says raising his voice.

I burst into laughter. I couldn't hold it in any longer. He looked at me completely confused and a little hurt.

"Steve, I-I was just messing with you. It was funny to see you get all jealous." I barely get out.

He pushes me against the counter in the bathroom and looks into my eyes.

"Good, cause your mine." He says as he crashes his lips to mine. It gets heated very fast, our tongues are exploring each corner and ridge of each other's mouths as my hands travel into his hair and his low on my back. One of his hands moves to my thigh and holds it up a bit, giving him more access to close what little space we already had between us.

"Up." He mumbles against my mouth signalling for me to hop up onto the counter top. I do as he says without breaking our kiss as it gets even steamier. Our heavy breathes and pants mixed together as I pulled away for a second to breath. He stands between my legs, one of his hands on my ass and the other on my upper back when our lips meet again in a furious battle. The mirrors in the bathroom start to get foggy as he places open mouthed kisses down my neck messily but needily. He starts to leave hickeys along the exposed parts of my breasts when we hear a knock at the door.

We both freeze, looking right at each other with fear in our eyes.

"Hey Nat your drink is at the bar waiting for you." Bucky says from the other side of the door.

I sigh in relief, knowing it was only Bucky.

"Ok, thanks Buck." I reply breathlessly.

"Oh, and tell Steve I say hi." He laughs as he walks away.

I couldn't help but laugh as I put my face in the crook of Steve's neck. He begins to chuckle lightly as well as I hopped off the counter to fix my hair and lipstick.

"We should probably go out there before anyone else notices were gone." I say as I re adjust my dress.

"Uh I don't know if you should go out there." He replies shyly, staring at my chest.

I look back at myself in the mirror and see that I was covered in hickeys and Steve's face flushes red.

"Well Captain that was quite a change in character for you." I smirk as he turns an even darker crimson.

"Sorry." He smiles sheepishly.

"Don't be, I enjoyed it." I smile, pressing a quick kiss to his reddened cheek, "I'm gonna head upstairs and get something to cover this up."

I open the door and head out first, quickly heading towards the elevator. I couldn't help but laugh to myself at what had just happened, lets just hope nobody else but Bucky finds out for a while.
