CW:Messy blowjobs, Bucky's Sergeant kink, masturbation, degradation kink, vibrators, dirty talk in Russian, Bucky is a boob and an ass man. This is two people having messy sex to blow off some serious steam after the first part of this chapter.
This chapter also features gaslighting, lying, and discussions of sexual assault. This is a heavy chapter, besties!
Bucky helps her clean up her bedroom. Charlotte sniffles and wipes the tears away, her devastation replaced by anger. Her laptop is destroyed, but she has all of the texts and emails from Caleb backed up on her phone, and she emailed her dissertation to herself two weeks ago. She sent the screenshots of the texts to the Dean of Graduate studies who will be leading the hearing. It's not a trial, but she feels like she's preparing for one. If there's anything she knows about putting forward a sexual assault case, it's that she has to be armed to the teeth and be prepared to face some of the worst questions she's ever answered.
If this was Caleb who destroyed her room, she has no idea when he got into the apartment, but she would assume it was when they were out. The window is wide open. She's just glad Alpine is safe and unharmed. Caleb would try to hurt her if he knew what was going on. Bucky called Whistler and let him know that there was going to be a new guest with them tonight in the form of a little white kitten. Whistler doesn't like the idea of a cat "chewing on all of his shit" (his words) in the hideout, but Blade has a bedroom that Alpine can stay in.
If something happened to Alpine because of Charlotte, she could never live with herself.
"What's the plan?" Bucky asks as he helps Charlotte adjust the collar of her shirt. "You look really sexy like this, by the way." His hand slips down her waist to grab her ass. "I like these pants."
She giggles.
"Thanks, Sergeant." Bucky blushes and she kisses the tip of his nose. "The plan is to put this—" Charlotte pulls out the vampire mace that Whistler gave her. "Vampire mace in his coffee."
Bucky raises an eyebrow. He's in a dark blue suit with a white dress shirt and a blue tie. He looks incredible.
"How the hell are you going to do that?" He laughs.
"We get there half an hour before the hearing, you break into his office, and put it in the coffee creamer he likes. It's in the mini fridge in his office."
"I'm sorry, I break into his office?" Bucky inquires.
"You were an assassin, you can't break into someone's office?" Charlotte asks.
He frowns.
"I'm not supposed to do anything illegal, Charlotte."
She crosses her arms over her chest and huffs. Bucky giggles at her, his nose scrunching up.
"How many times have you broken that rule?" She asks with a raised brow.
Bucky smirks and drags his tongue across his bottom lip.
