"I can not wait any longer" he said before pulling me towards him, I giggled as he threw me onto the bed silently praying that this agent hurried the fuck up.
From Steve's perspective all he could see were Alec's hungry eyes and hands beginning to lift my shirt.
He ran his hands through his hair wondering when this agent would do as he was told.
I silently said a prayer as I heard a loud bang outside just as Alec removed my shirt leaving me in my bralette still somewhat dressed. I sat up pushing Alec off me making him groan in frustration.
"What was that?" I asked stupidly and he shrugged me off "Probably nothing" he said pushing me back onto the bed yet I stayed persistent sitting back up "No I think you should check it out" I said and Alec stood up.
"What is wrong with you," he said angrily and I frowned "You suggested this yet you keep finding ways to push me away what's your deal huh," he said and I shook my head quickly.
I grabbed his arm "No baby I want this I'm just concerned" I quickly said. He ran his hand through his hair and stepped back.
"I'm gonna go check it out stay right here," he said before leaving the room and storming down the stairs. I heard him mumble something along the lines of "shit I do to get some"
I didn't miss a beat before making my way to the room from earlier as I began looking for the flash drive.
I opened drawer after drawer not seeing anything until I finally saw a small box, I opened it to see a silver flash drive, I did a silent cheer before plugging it into a laptop.
I heard the sound of footsteps and gasped, he was back too early. I unplugged the flash drive and shoved it in my boot before the door burst open.
"What are you doing," Alec asked as he began approaching me "Oh I was just curious I didn't" I started but he cut me off "What are you doing," he asked firmly as he pulled a gun from his pants positioning it at me.
"Woah hey I was just exploring" I said hoping I could sweet talk my way out but he did not seem to be backing down.
My heart raced as I tried to come up with a plan. I knew I had to stay calm, but the gun pointed at me made it difficult "Alec, please put the gun down," I said slowly, surrendering my hands.
"Why were you in here? What were you looking for?" he demanded, his voice low and dangerous.
"I was just curious I didn't mean to upset you," I replied, trying to keep my voice steady.
Alec's eyes narrowed, and he stepped closer to me, the gun still pointed at my chest. "Don't lie to me I know you were after something what did you find?"
I knew I had to be careful with my words. "I didn't find anything I was just looking around please, Alec, put the gun down you're scaring me."
He didn't seem to be falling for it. So here goes nothing.
I slapped the gun from his hands before kicking him in the stomach. I tried to run out of the room but he recovered quickly grabbing me by my hair and pulling me back, he slammed my body into the tiled floor and I groaned as pain erupted through my head.
I tried to reach for my weapon but he pulled it out before I even had a chance "So this was a set up" he realised throwing my gun behind himself.
Steve watched in shock as I got thrown around like a rag doll. It went from 0 to 100 very quickly.
"You stupid bitch" he said as he slapped me, I barely had time to recover before he kicked me in the stomach repeatedly, coincidentally right where the scar from the piece of rebar was forming.
I grabbed his leg yanking it so he'd lose balance and got up, instead he kicked my legs making me fall right back on the ground.
I tried my hardest to crawl away and get the upper hand but he was practically sitting on top of me beating me senseless.
There were times in the past when I thought I would die on a mission and this was starting to feel like one of them.
"Y/n come on fight back I'm on my way," Steve's panicked voice said in my ear.
He wasn't watching anymore, instead, he was running towards the location he had given the agent but he could still hear every scream, every groan, every hit and every punch, the sound of it causing a sick feeling.
I felt around the floor for anything and grabbed the box the flash drive was in slamming it against his head.
He held his hand over his head and I shoved him off me. Running down the stairs.
I could hear him running after me and I somehow made my way into the kitchen.
I looked around frantically for anything that could help me. My eyes landed on a large knife on the counter, and I grabbed it, holding it tightly in my hand.
Alec burst into the kitchen, his face twisted in anger "You think you can run from me?" he spat, taking a step towards me.
I held the knife up, ready to defend myself. "Stay back," I warned, my voice shaking.
Alec laughed, but it was a cold, menacing sound. "You're not going to use that," he said, taking another step towards me.
I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves. "I will if I have to," I said, trying to sound more confident than I felt.
Alec was a strong man and I was highly skilled but my vision was blurry and my body was aching from the repeated hits giving him an advantage.
Alec lunged at me, and I swung the knife, feeling it connect with his arm. He screamed in pain, and I took the opportunity to run past him.
Unfortunately, he managed to grab me by my waist and push me back onto the floor.
Tears were gathering in my eyes, I had never felt this defenceless before.
He grabbed the gun that he had upstairs and towered over my body "You useless slut" he said but before he had a chance to use the weapon he was pulled to the ground by none other than Captain America himself.
They fought on the ground for a while before the sound of a gunshot rang through the room.
I gasped as I watched Alec fall back on the floor, a bullet wound to the chest.
Steve rushed to my side, pulling me into his arms. I was battered and bruised, my clothes torn, and my face swollen. Steve felt a surge of anger and sadness wash over him as he looked at me.
"Hey, hey, it's okay you're safe now," he said, cradling me in his arms. He slipped his jacket off placing it over my shoulders.
I looked up at him, tears streaming down my face "I was so scared," I whispered admitting weakness for the first time.
Steve shook his head, wiping away my tears "You did everything you could and you're safe now," he said, holding me tightly.
He looked down at my face and I looked back up at him, our eyes locked in and staring at nothing but each other.
Without thinking, he leaned forward and pressed his lips against mine, pouring all of his pent-up emotions into the kiss. His lips were warm and soft against mine, and I responded with equal intensity, his arms tightening around me.
As we pulled away, breathless, I looked at him with a mix of surprise and desire in my eyes. "I didn't expect that," I said, a small smile tugging at the corner of my lips.
He blushed, feeling self-conscious. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have"
"No, it's okay," I interrupted, leaning in to kiss him again. "I've wanted to do that for a long time" and with that, we fell into a passionate embrace, lost in each other's arms.
