love handles
The next morning they made breakfast and packed Bruce's van to head toward the lake. Bucky was in his room putting on something other than pajamas for the first time in two weeks. As he pulled up his jeans he struggled to get them past his knees. "Any suggestions here Friday?" He huffed as he laid back on the bed. "At the moment it may be ideal for you to borrow some pants from either Bruce or Clint."
"What about Steve?" There was a long pause from Friday. "James my scanners show you have gained nearly 80 lbs in the last two weeks. You actually have an ass to fill out a pair of pants now." He rolled his eyes and looked at the mirror. "Damn. Ok um I'll borrow from Clint. Thanks Friday."
When he finally joined them for breakfast Sam handed Bruce twenty bucks. "He said you were held up by a wardrobe malfunction. Take it you filched some of Steve's jeans?" Bruce snorted as Bea filled their plates. "I'm pretty certain he is barely making it in a pair of Clint's jeans." He glared but didn't argue. Once they were done breakfast They were taking Bea to the airport and then they would be on their way. Bea placed two containers in Bucky's lap. "The top is a Strawberry pie for you and the bottom is a chocolate walnut cake for Captain Rogers." She gave both him and Sam a hug and a kiss and headed for her flight. Sam smiled "I guess you are good for each other."
When they arrived at the lake the Jet was already landed nearby and he saw Morgan and Peter running around in the yard with Clint's boys. Lila was sparring with Nat as Steve and Laura carefully watched them. They piled out of the car and walked over. Clint did a double take when he looked over at Bucky. "Damn dude what happened to you?"
"My mother is what happened to him." Steve was now looking him over "you look good Buck." He pulled him into a hug "damn straight I do."
Natasha came over and immediately grabbed a handful of him on either side. "You fill out Clint's dad jeans better than he ever did."
"Oh shit those are MY jeans? Damn how much weight did you pick up?" Bruce had joined them now "Friday said he picked up nearly 80 lbs in the last two and a half weeks." Steve shook his head "what was she feeding you?" Sam snorted "what wasn't she feeding him. He was pretty much taking it easy for two weeks straight and she had a captive audience to cook for not that he seemed to mind since she had Friday tell her all of his favorite foods." Steve grinned "I'll have to thank her. So how's the snake bites?"
Bucky held up his arm for Steve to inspect the discolored scars. "Still a little tender but otherwise ok. Had the best nurse I could ask for the last two weeks." Sam rolled his eyes "He means my mother." Steve laughed "yea I got your messages. I told you he could charm the pants off any gal." Bucky shrugged "I tried we settled on a blow job." Sam froze "No...no ...you... take that pack dough-boy…" Clint was howling as he watched Sam self-destruct "relax Sam I would never ask that of your mom but just remember I'll eat ANYTHING she offers me." Steve groaned and shook his head "I think you need to ease back Buck."
"I'll say he does. That's still my mama he's talking about."
Tony and Pepper had now come out along with Happy and May. "Great looks like the gangs all here. Barnes…..jeez you...you have a shape now. Damn you fill out those jeans." Pepper rolled her eyes. "Glad you guys got in ok. Are you feeling better James? How was Assateague?" He wrapped Pepper in a hug "I'm much better now and it was nice but horses are evil." She grinned "I bet there's a story there."
They all moved towards the large picnic table. Sam pulled out his phone and showed Steve a few pictures and videos from while he was away. Steve watched the videos of Bucky singing and dancing with Bea and hugged Sam. "That's the most he's acted like himself in so long Sam, thank you for sharing your family with him." He patted him and pried him off. "Don't get all sappy on me. I'm glad he opened up a bit more. I think you guys gotta cook with him more. He's able to see what's in the food and he's making good connections to meals."
"We can work on that. I'm sure we can make it a better habit."
The bench creaked a bit when Bucky took a seat between Steve and Happy. Tony looked up and pointed. "I think you better sit on the other side Terminator. Rogers is a solid 350 and Happy isn't that small and I can only reinforce a wooden bench so much." Everyone was as quiet as they waited to see Bucky's reaction. "You callin' me fat Stark?" Tony began to back pedal stumbling over his words in a hasty apology. Bucky responded with a laugh "I'm just messin with ya. Dude I pick up 80 lbs on top of my 195 I'm not mad that things have weight limits. Good thing Sam's mom didn't." The table erupted in a chorus of chiding and Pepper was glad the kids were occupied with the tree fort Tony built. Bucky moved to the other side sitting down by Clint and Natasha.
Natasha continued to play with him while they all talked and ate. He quietly leaned close to her. "Doll you're drivin my crazy doing that. I can't take much more teasin'." She smiled and squeezed around his waist one more time. "Who says I'm teasing? It's a good look for you and I'm up for a little fun if you are." He wrapped an arm around her "you tell me when and where and I'll be there doll."
His phone lit up as she texted him
"Hammock after everyone's asleep?" He grinned at the message and responded "I like your thinking but how about the jet? Gotta consider the kids in the tree fort." She grinned back at him. "good thinking. I'll bring a few extra blankets."
It took everyone a few hours to cool down and head to bed. In that time Nat found every excuse to have her hands on him. It was driving him crazy. He saw her creep out to the jet and after a few minutes he followed only to see Clint and Laura at the kitchen table. "So…..a bit past your bedtime isn't it?" He froze in the doorway "Understand that there is NO attachment here. This is 100% physical." He nodded "Are you here to protect me or her?" They both looked at each other "I think a little of both James. We just want to be sure you know what she's asking of you." Clint looked out the window "She's very….rough and controlling. She will start off sweet just know when she flips the switch all bets are off." He nodded and quickly made his way outside. Laura leaned on Clint's shoulder "she's gonna eat him alive." He grinned at her "and he's gonna love it. It will be fine but I bet he's gonna feel it in the morning."
Bucky found Natasha waiting for him in the jet wearing nothing but a silk robe. He was practically drooling as he moved closed. She stood up and placed a hand on his chest. "Heel boy, we do this by my rules. What I say goes do it or get out. Safe word is Captain." He smirked "real cute Nat. Never gonna let go of the fact that I-"
Before he could finish she had him pinned down getting his clothes out of the way as fast as possible. Everything after that was a blur. He woke up the next morning still in the jet and Steve looking him over. "Clint sent me to check on you. He said Nat um….blew off some steam last night." He groaned as he sat up. There were several hickeys and other marks on his torso. "Damn guess I'm not going shirtless today. She was…..an animal Steve." He nodded "yea, I've heard stories. She knows what she wants and she will get it. I told everyone we went for a run so you weren't doing a walk of shame." He changed into the clothes Steve brought. "Thanks. God damn...I think she tried to screw me to death. I don't even remember what happened last night but she hit all the right notes." Steve grinned "I will give the serum credit it does make sex amazing." Bucky nodded "speaking of which now that you're ya know here have you had the pleasure with anyone?" He laughed "nope. I didn't really feel the need. Guess I got my fill of USO flings. I've had my fun but hey you keep havin' yours." They headed back to the cabin laughing and talking about times past and a few one night stands.
