Hard to Love (Bucky Barnes fanfic)

Chapter 34

I prop my head on my hand as I lean almost my entire body weight against the bar counter, listening to whatever story Thor was telling. I know it was about him conquering something but clearly I wasn't actually listening. The liquor taking an unsurprisingly drastic toll on me

Thor pauses his tale of conquest as he gazes at me before letting out a small chuckle. "I told you it wasn't for mere mortals Lady Amelia." I roll my eyes at him but instantly regret it as I become dizzy from the small gesture

"I'm fiiiiine big guy," I giggle

Thor opens his mouth to respond but my attention gets drawn to a hand on my back. I turn slightly to find Bucky now standing almost next to me, a concerned look in his eyes as we met each other's gaze. I smile at him, shifting my weight to lean against him instead of the bar top

"Hey Buck. What's up?" I pop the 'p' as I look up at him. He sighs, looking to Thor momentarily before wrapping his arm around my waist tightly

"Come on, you need food." He begins to step away from the bar and I whine

"Technicallyy vodka ha-as potatoes in it and that's food!" I retaliate and try to go back to the bar with Thor but Bucky keeps a firm grip on me

"You'll thank me later." He huffs as he drags me through the crowd of people and towards the exit and the main kitchen

I groan as we get closer to the door, not wanting to sober up just yet. The party just started less than an hour ago, let a girl get drunk and have fun. Then again, I'm not really putting any effort to pull myself away from Bucky

Nat tries to intervene but Bucky merely shakes his head at her and she retreats with a smirk. In what felt like a blink of the eye, we're in the half lit hallway and heading towards the kitchen

"Buckyyy," I whine some more as we round the corner, not even fighting him off and instead I'm leaning into him. I'll take every opportunity to have him hold me

In a flash, my back is against the wall with Bucky gripping my upper arms to hold me up. His heated body nearly pressed to mine. He looks down at me and I notice his concern also held a dominant undertone to it. His eyes a dark stormy blue meaning he was in a mood

"James," I shift my stance and purposely rub my body against his. He lets out a short groan at my action, feeling my curves press against his hard frame

"Keep this up and we might have to go back to your room babydoll." He growls down at me, darting his tongue out and wetting his lips. I look up at him and a breath hitches in my throat at his words and the oh so naughty promise with them. My core instantly ignites with wanton

I open my mouth to speak but Bucky quickly leans down and crashes his lips to mine hungrily. I sigh into him as his tongue swipes at my bottom lip before dipping into my mouth and dominating my own. I expect him to deepen the kiss further, but instead he pulls away in shock

"Jesus- what did he give you?" He looks at me in confusion as he licks his lips again. I lay my head back against the wall

"Asgardian booze," I speak sheepishly. Buckys eyes dart all over my face

"Doll, that could get me drunk. Don't drink anymore of it." His grip on my arms loosens as his entire aura shifts. "And stop flirting with him." His features may be soft but those last words were very stern

Kind of hot if you ask me

"Bucky I'm not- what? No, god no." I shake my head, again regretting the motion in my drunk stupor. Bucky smirks, leaning in close to my ear

"Good. Because you're mine." He growls lowly before removing himself from me, leaving me a hot and needy mess. He steps away and heads to the fridge, pulling out a bottle of water and makings for a pb&j
