United States Army Camp,

England 1944

Allie laid in the darkness of her room, encircled by Bucky's arms that had wrapped themselves tightly around her midriff. It felt like she had reached heaven, encased in warmth and comfort that she would forever dream about. His arms brought her a peace that she had never known, calming the violent storms of her mind and freezing time.

Their bodies had molded together, sharing body heat as easily as they shared their love. And as she laid awake, reveling in the feeling of his bare skin against her own, she reminisced about their lust shared the previous night.

She would never forget the way his touch had electrified every single nerve in her body. How his muscular arms wrapped around her back and their bodies ignited, moving together as one. How his hands had curled into her dark tresses, pulling on it to elicit a soft moan from her ruby red lips. How their bodies had worked in synchrony, fitting together as if they were made for it.

It was as if he was a drug, and with one touch she was intoxicated.

Every kiss they shared sent her out of breath, reeling from the raw intensity. Their glistening skin moved softly together like the finest of silk. Their lips meeting with pure fervor and force, tongues rolling against each other heavenly. Muffled grunts leaving their mouths with every rock of their bodies. Working together to reach this euphoric high that sent both their minds blank with pleasure. 

She had briefly caught sight of his eyes wandering over her body as if she was the most beautiful woman on earth. His captivating blue orbs darkening with lust and appreciation. Looking at her as if she would be the beginning and end of his life.

Even as she laid in the bed now, she could feel herself getting aroused at the dirty thoughts encasing her mind. At the memories of the previous night's carnal pleasures.

But she pushed the thoughts from her mind. Instead, focusing on the feeling of Bucky's cadenced heartbeats that thumped underneath her head. Tracing the faintest of shapes on his ivory skin as she reveled the pure bliss that was that morning.

It wasn't much later when she felt Bucky first begin to stir. His legs that had been previously wrapped between hers began to shift and his breathing started to quicken. She felt the arm that he had draped over her stomach tighten upon realizing where he was.

"Good morning, love." Bucky spoke eventually, interrupting the comfortable silence with his husky voice.

"Good morning." She whispered, a small smile hanging from her lips.

At her words, she felt Bucky pucker his lips, softly placing a kiss between the dip of her neck. The area immediately felt alight from his touch despite how innocent the action was. That was just how her body reacted to Bucky, constantly on fire because of him.

His lips traced the curve of her upper body, leaving trails of heat burning along the path he created. Igniting as if Bucky's touch were a flame and her skin was the gasoline.

But as soon as his lips left her soft skin, that burning sensation stopped. The fire died into nothing more than a small ember surrounded by ash. Only leaving behind an overwhelming desire to have Bucky's touch on her again.

Letting out a dissapointed sigh, Allie turned in his arms, meeting his cobalt eyes and mirroring his adoring smile.

"Do you want breakfast, doll?" He asked quietly, twidling with her dark locks between his fingers.

"No, I just want to lay here with you." She replied, resting her head back on his chest.

"If you want to do that, you have to go brush your teeth." Bucky smiled down at her cheekily. "Your breath stinks."

"You did not." She gasped, slapping his chest lightly.

"I think I just did." He grinned back,

"Fine, no kisses for you." She huffed, rolling back over and pulling away from Bucky.

"Allie, c'mon darling." Bucky pleaded laughing."I think that's a bit harsh."

"I'm just keeping my stinky breath to myself." She grumbled, trying to fight the smile that was tugging at her lips.

"Allie," Bucky whined.

When he realized he wasn't going to get a response that way, he began to presses light, feathery kisses along the skin of her neck. Teasingly nipping and sucking on her porcelain skin. Allie's eyes immediately fluttered closed at the action as she clamped her mouth shut, forcing herself to hold in her moans.

At her apparent resistance, Bucky began to shift his attention to her jawline, her known sweet spot. He peppered the area with teasing kisses, quickly shattering Allie's resolve with each love bite he left behind.

"Who thought Bucky Barnes could play dirty." She moaned softly, feeling Bucky's lips spread into a grin against her skin.

"That's not what you were saying last night." He smirked.

She let out a teasing gasp at his words."Wait until Steve hears this language."

"What can I say, you have rubbed off on me, doll." He spoke causing them both to chuckle.

Once the fit of laughs died down, Allie let out a sigh, rolling back over to face Bucky again.

"I have to get up to train those rookies soon." She murmured against his chest as she laid her head back down on his body.

"Why can't Peggy do it?" Bucky questioned, running his hands through her hair.

"She took the morning training so I have to take the afternoon ones." Allie explained.

"Get Steve to cover it." He persisted.

"Bucky, we can't lay in bed all day." Allie smiled, lifting her head up to look at him.

"Says who?" He grinned mischievously.

"The Colonel for one." She raised her eyebrow.

"He doesn't scare me." Bucky said with unequivocal bravado.

"Yes, he does."

"He only slightly scares me."

"Whatever you say, love." Allie sang, grinning to herself.

Bucky felt her smile grow against his chest and it sent a flood of happiness through his body. Because making Allie smile was something that he would never grow tired off. For it was the prettiest thing he had ever seen, so vibrant and full of joy. Riding the world of its darkness for every second that she wore it.

"How much time have we got?" He questioned quietly.

"Half an hour." She answered.

"That's plenty of time to have some more fun." Bucky grinned, rolling out from underneath Allie's body and pinning her to the bed.

"You are going to get me into trouble." She teased.

"What's the point of life without getting into a little trouble." Bucky smirked, lowering his head and placing sensual kisses along her sharp collarbone. Allie let out a gasp at the action, immediately feeling that previous fire ignite on her skin from Bucky's touch.

"I love you." She whispered into his ear, gripping his dark tendrils of hair between her fingers.

"And I am hopelessly in love with you." He replied before his lips met hers and they were whisked off into another round of passionate devotion.

. ☾ .

Unlike her usual dreams, Allie did not awake in a cold sweat. She wasn't dry heaving from the memories of her former self or pulling her hair out with regret. She didn't see the horrors from her past or one of the numerous crimes she had committed.

Instead, she awoke peacefully. A feeling of warmth overcoming her body and enjoying the remanent of comfort left behind from the dream. Still in shock that her memory had been a pleasant one this time.

But the more she became aware of her surroundings, the more she began to realize that that warmth she got from he dream, may have been another person's body heat instead.

Allie was still wrapped up in Bucky's loving embrace. His arms holding her close to his chest as she laid down with her head just below his collarbone, hearing the faint rhythmic 'thumps' of his heart as it continued to beat. Making her realise that the heat she was feeling was Bucky's skin flushing up against her own.

She almost did a double take as she realized how similar this all seemed to her memory. As if she was reliving the flashback itself. But of course she knew that couldn't be true.

However, she did begin to realize that her dream was right about one thing, that there was no feeling equal to laying in Bucky's arms. Nothing came close to the way his hold brought her peace that she had never known. The way he was able to calm her even in one of her most horrendous moods.

They had previously spent the night sharing innocent kisses from each other, reveling in the new dimension of their relationship. Not caring about the implications of their actions, not worrying about what the future held for them. And then she had fallen asleep in his arms, obviously enjoying his company too much.

Not that she minded now.

Despite having Bucky's metal arm draped over her stomach, it wasn't as uncomfortable as she had thought it would be. It wasn't heavy or sharp with pieces of metal sticking into her body. Instead, it just felt like a normal arm, albeit a slightly colder and smoother arm.

Allie laid in Bucky's embrace for most of the morning, basking in the additional body heat and treasuring the comfort that he offered. She didn't move or speak out of the fear of ruining this perfect moment, knowing that opportunities like this came rarely for her.

But alas, everything has to come to an end.

Eventually Bucky began to stir in his sleep, coming out of his coma-like state. She felt the soft ripples of his muscles tighten beneath his dark t-shirt and his warm breath quicken against her neck as he began to wake.

"Good morning doll." Bucky murmured, his voice thick with sleepiness.

Instead of replying, Allie rolled over in his arms and faced him. Giving him a small smile as she rested her head back against his chest. She felt her arms involuntarily slip under his shirt and innocently trace shapes against his soft, ivory skin.

Bucky smiled down at his girl, pressing a chaste kiss against the top of her head. He slowly lifted his metal arm from her stomach and dropped it on her hips, brushing over the slightly exposed skin with a gentleness that he thought he would never possess.

"Did you sleep well?" She whispered, her voice also husky from sleep.

"With you, always." Bucky smiled, pressing another kiss into her hair. "How did you sleep?"

"Good, I dreamed of you." She told him.

"Oh really?" Bucky smirked causing Allie to roll her eyes.

"Get your head out of the gutter." She ridiculed as Bucky let out a fit of laughter.

"Sorry, love." Bucky managed to get out between chuckles.

"We were back in our flat in London." She stated when he finally calmed down. "It was just the two of us before everything turned into chaos."

"So you are remembering more?" Bucky inquired, smiling lightly.

"Yeah, I guess so." Allie said, a happy undertone encasing her voice.

"Well I am glad." Bucky replied, pressing a light kiss to her shoulder instinctively before freezing.

Allie turned her gaze to Bucky with furrowed brows, watching him expel a sigh before he met her eyes. She could see a battle waging in his blue orbs, debating something internally that left her curiously hoping he would confess.

After a moment of silence, Bucky spoke. "There's something that I need to tell you, doll."

"Go ahead" She nodded immediately, offering a small smile in the hopes it would somewhat calm his nerves.

"Allie, I have always loved you. Ever since you saved me from HYDRA back in '43 I have been hopelessly in love with you. So much so, that I became a lovesick fool whose entire happiness and life revolved around you." Bucky confessed, a slight red tinge adorning his cheeks as he continued.

"But then HYDRA happened. Being the Winter Soldier, it fucked me up, even the parts of me that I believed would never change. There is no way anyone could fix the mess they made of me. No one could ever bring back the old Bucky." Bucky explained as Allie listened intently.

"But even though everything else changed, my feelings for you never faltered. They were just buried underneath the control of HYDRA."

"What I am trying to say is that I am not the old Bucky anymore. I struggle with talking about my feelings and I don't know how to react to situations anymore. I am so completely messed up that I am scared that you will see the damage they made and run away. Not because of your character but because I am just that broken." Bucky continued.

"But I think that," Bucky paused before correcting himself. "No, I know that every single broken piece of me still loves you."

Allie was rendered shocked from his confession, surprised by the side of Bucky that she saw. This wasn't the warrior Bucky who helped her fight HYDRA, the Bucky who helped her remember her past or the Bucky who fought with her the other night. This was an entirely different side of Bucky, one she hadn't seen for a long time.

It was the Bucky who loved her.

After everything that HYDRA had done to her, how they had ruined her, she never thought she would get the chance to feel love ever again. That someone would look at her the way Bucky looked at her now. That someone would speak the worlds Bucky had just spoken.

She thought she lost the ability to be loved and love someone ever again.

But HYDRA had failed. They could never wipe the feelings that the two of them shared for they were buried so deep that HYDRA would have had to wipe everything from their mind to make them forget about their love for each other. So their love remained, buried deep into their subconscious and slowly prying its way to the surface.

And it seemed that it had finally broke free.

"Bucky, you can't forget that I know exactly how you are feeling. I went through the exact same torture as you and I know what it means to be broken down to the single fiber of your being." Allie replied. "I understand you. We understand each other on a level that no one ever will."

"And even though I don't remember everything about my past yet, I know that my feelings for you were as strong then as they are now. I know that I am just as in love with you as I was in 1943 and nothing will be able to change that." She continued, taking his hand in her own petite one before she placed her lips on his.

Their eyes fluttered shut as their bodies melted into one, their lips fitting like two puzzle pieces. The kiss wasn't chaste like their first kiss had been the other night nor was it exuding lust, it was something different altogether.

Bucky's hands wound their way into her dark hair, tugging on the waves softly as Allie's hands worked their way around his body. Trying to memorize each and every crevasse of his perfect physique, attempting to burn it into her brain so she would never forget. So that she would always remember this moment.

After a while, their lips parted to reflate their lungs with oxygen. Allie gently rested her forehead against his, staring deeply into his captivating ocean eyes, knowing that nobody else could compare to him.

"So what now?" She asked, breaking the silence.

"I would say we should go slow but I don't even know what slow is." Bucky joked, prompting a small chuckle to fall from Allie's now swollen lips.

"Let's just do us." She declared.

"I couldn't agree more, doll."

After the words fell from Bucky's lip, they both met in another sweet kiss, both having enough of talking. So instead, they spent the rest of the night enjoying each other's company, delighting in their new relationship. Trying to forget the world outside that seemed to want them apart.
