Mess with Them - Epilogue *
The quinjet was oddly silent, a sign that the mission didn’t go very well. Your teammates were fast asleep in the back of the jet. You were knackered, too, but you kept replaying the failed mission over and over in your head.
With a heavy sign, you crossed the jet and slumped down in the seat next to Steve. He threw you a side glance, but his hands were still on the control panel, his attention focused on the dials. You glanced at the sky and its pale pink clouds. Steve saw the forlorn look in your eyes.
“It wasn’t your fault.”
“No?” You scoffed. “You gave me an order and I failed. Don’t go easy on me, I’m not a child.”
You heard Steve take a deep breath.
“Don’t beat yourself up. Your cover was blown. The important thing is that we’re all okay,” He looked over his shoulder at the others and smiled. “Tired, but okay.”
You nodded pensively, you didn’t really believe him. All you had to do was put on a nice, sexy dress and distract the target while the others took care of the files. Simple enough, uh? Yet, it had ended in complete disaster.
“You should have asked Nat.” You spoke. Steve said your name in a warning tone. “What? It’s true!” You replied, raising your voice a little. “She’s the sexy one, not me.”
Steve tilted his head to the side like a lost puppy, a confused frown pulling his brows together. He stayed silent for a moment before his lips parted in a friendly smile.
“Y/n, don’t compare yourself to others,” He put a hand on your shoulder when you avoided his eyes. “Any man would be lucky to be with you.”
“Yeah? So why am I single?”
“I don’t know.” The question baffled him, his eyebrows almost reached his hairline.
He had no idea why you were single, but if it were up to him, he’d be cuddling you to sleep every night and make breakfast for you every morning. He just wished he had the guts to ask you out. It shouldn’t be that complicated, you were one of his best friends.
Instead of lulling you to sleep, the soft snoring of your teammates and the purring engine kept you awake. The silence between you was comfortable, you didn’t need to fill the silence with words.
“I can hear you thinking,” Steve turned his face towards you, a grin curled his lips. “You’re overthinking. Stop.”
“Can’t help it.” You grumbled, arms folded against your chest. “I am awkward and I have no sex appeal.”
He snorted. “Come on.”
“I’m just stating facts.”
“Facts? What facts?” He raised a hand when you were about to protest. “And for your information, I think you’re really sexy.”
You face-palmed yourself. “Urgh, Steve, you don’t have to do th-”
“I wasn’t done,” He raised a finger in warning. “You’re pretty, smart and witty. You are one of my favorite people. One day, maybe, you’ll realize the right man is in front of you.”
Steve silently cursed himself and fidgeted under your stare. Was it too obvious? Did he overstep his bounds or something? He cleared his throat and turned back to the control panel. You shivered in your thin dress, your head was spinning. Did he just admit he wanted you? You were speechless not sure if you heard him right.
“Steve?” You whispered. He hummed in response, not daring to meet your eyes. “I think you should press the autopilot button.” You said, pushing yourself off your chair.
“Yup.” He popped the ‘p’ and flicked the autopilot switch.
He settled you onto his lap as you straddled him, your knees on either side of his thighs. He kept one hand on your hip while the other slid behind the nape of your neck. You kissed passionately for a moment before you pulled away.
“Y’know what’s weird?” You gestured to the space between you. “This doesn’t feel weird!”
“I know!”
“And you’re a really good kisser.”
A smug smile crossed his face. “Well, I have kissed over four women.”
He kissed you again and again until his lips were sore. You had to admit he looked pretty sexy. He tried to catch his breath, his long lashes rested on his flushed cheeks. You shifted so his thigh was between your legs.
“I don’t want to take advantage of you, Y/n.” He opened his eyes.
“You’re not,” You shook your head, your bottom lip trapped between your teeth. “I really, really want you, Steve. Do you?”
He almost choked on air. Of course he wanted you, it was the only thing on his mind since he saw you in that dress.
“I really do,” He stole a chaste kiss from your lips, then whispered in your ear. “You’re so sexy, Y/n. I’m gonna give you everything you need.”
He moaned when you started to rock your hips, grinding your pussy against his thigh. The fabric of his gear rasped against your inner thighs. You threw your head back, an expression of pure ecstasy on your face.
“Steve!” You moaned.
He slapped your backside hard enough to make you arch forward. You buried your face in the crook of his neck, mewling quietly.
“It’s Captain for you.”
His voice was low and gruff in your ear. You heard someone yawn and stretch, but it was too late, you were too close to stop. Steve tightened his thighs muscles and it was your undoing.
Your legs trembled and you began to stiffen. Steve wrapped his arms around your torso and held you close against him. You came hard, soaking your panties and dampening his gear. As quickly and as gracefully as you could manage, you sat back down in the seat next to him.
“Are we there yet?” Sam asked, his voice thick with sleep.
“Ten minutes.” Steve mumbled, trying to hide the growing bulge in his tight gear. Thankfully, Sam’s was in a post-sleep haze, he didn’t notice a thing.
“Hey, Y/n, it wasn’t your fault the mission went south. That guy was a moron, you’re hot.”
“Thanks, Sam.”
The others woke up one by one while you and Steve were still throwing heated looks at each other. Ten minutes later, Steve announced that since everyone was exhausted, the debrief could wait. It was a bit unusual, but the others didn’t protest.
Everyone left the quinjet and headed for the facility. Steve caught up with you and fell into step beside you.
“Your room or my room?” He asked, glancing around to make sure nobody heard him.
“Mine.” You whispered. “Ten minutes. Don’t be late or I’ll start without you, Captain.”
You walked a bit faster and bid your friends goodnight before you disappeared into your room. Steve slowed his pace and watched you wink at him before you closed your bedroom door. He had a fluttery feeling in his stomach as if his life was about to change. He couldn’t wait to get started.
