Dinner (@americanass)

It was a good thing Claire didn't have any work to do that was terribly important, because she'd spent most of the day distracted thinking about the night before. Confessing her feelings for Steve had been on her mind for weeks, and she could never figure out the right time to go there. Maybe it had been her vulnerability after the nightmare, maybe not, but last night apparently was the time. Whether it was the right time, she still wasn't sure.

Neither could she gauge how Steve seemed to feel about the whole thing, as she hadn't had much opportunity to see him, much less talk to him. They both seemed to be busy, though she hadn't forgotten his offer of dinner that night. Just dinner, no mention of a date, not that she'd really expected that. They both needed time to sort this out, maybe sitting down to talk over dinner would help, especially after each took their time to think it over privately that day. She imagined he was thinking it over now, even if he hadn't considered it before.

As the afternoon inched closer to evening, she considered dinner plans. Claire knew her impulsive nature was influencing her now, but she couldn't help wanting to do something nice. Not a date. She wasn't going to go all out, just prepare a little something for the two of them. It was easy enough see him in passing, to request that he meet her in the dining room around six. And then she got to work.

Claire held herself to some semblance of playing it cool, of not trying to prepare anything too extravagant or that might give the impression that it was a date. No, it was just dinner. A simple pasta dish, a salad. No wine, that would... imply things, and it wouldn't do either of them much good anyway. At least, she thought she recalled that Steve's alcohol tolerance was on a level with hers.

Once the table was set, all she had left do was, well. Wait. He'd probably be on time, she guessed, but she was growing too nervous to check the time. Of course he'd show up, right?

Patience and Steve Rogers had never really been on speaking terms in the first place, but his hold on it was non-existent now. As was his hold on every good intention he'd had to take things slow, treat her tenderly. His intentions to do that, though, hadn't even gotten them to the bedroom, old fashioned as he still sometimes tended to be.

It was impossible to be anything but completely lost in the moment, though, and there was no mistaking the hunger in his eyes as he watched her pull her bra from her body. His gaze dropped to admire her breasts when they were bared to him, but that admiration only lasted a second. Then she was kissing him again and her teeth were on his lip and that was the only thing that mattered.

Steve shifted to press his body to hers, weight balanced on one arm to allow his other hand to slide over her skin, the ever increasing heat of desire alight in his palm. His touch was light, skimming up to cover her breast with his palm, calloused and rough against her smooth skin.

That sound she made set was all he needed to want them both out of their underwear even before she was reaching to do just that. Once again, they were on the same page, wanted the same thing, and everything just felt natural. He was almost halfway inclined to start believing in that nonsense about fate and meant to be or whatever people said when they found their person. And maybe, if it hadn't taken so long for Steve to get himself and what he wanted together, he just might have.

But he'd spent too long not realizing anything, and they'd both spent too long not doing this for it to be anything but grown between them. Which was better. That meant with time and a little work they could keep it going, see where it was really going in the end.

He caught her lip lightly between his teeth as his own curled up into a smile. "Off, huh?" he echoed teasingly. "What do you want that for?"

As though he didn't know exactly. As if he didn't want the same thing and as if it didn't take every ounce of self control in him not to just do it. He liked the insistence in her, though. He liked her asking for what she wanted. Not only because it was a reminder she wanted him as much as he wanted her, but as it turned out he just liked being asked.

He was far from subtle about teasing her. He was far from subtle about anything. But it paid off, he figured, as long as she was still enjoying it, and he didn't miss the barely contained giggle behind her complaint. This should be fun still, he figured; it was a big step, a big thing between them, but it didn't have to be all that serious. Which, he would admit if he needed to, was rich coming from him. Steve wasn't exactly known for cracking jokes.

But that was an issue that wasn't related to the moment and instead was the weight of far too many hurts in his past.

None of which came to mind when Claire's hand pressed against his cock, and Steve's breath left him in a rush. He should slow things down. He shouldn't rush in and act like there were no consequences, but what he did was entirely the opposite. He turned toward her mouth, catching her in a searing kiss once again. Just for a moment before he was drawing back a little, enough to get his hands comfortably between them and unceremoniously pulling her panties down her legs in a quick movement.

He should check in and make sure she was sure. That was the right thing to do. What left his lips was very different. "Keep talking like that and you'll have your way."

Said with a smile playing over his lips as his gaze traced every curve of her, taking her in. Steve had known from day one she was beautiful, he wasn't blind, but naked and spread out beneath him? She took his breath away all over again.

He didn't hesitate to slide his hands down her legs, hook his thumbs under his shorts and with much more patience than he felt, eased them down.

Steve absolutely could not find cause to complain about hearing more requests from her. It was a thrill to hear her desire for him was as strong as his for her, that she wanted him and wanted more. It was so far beyond what he’d ever have imagined possible, a better feeling than he’d ever have allowed himself to think he could have for himself. And even just the promise of hearing more of it, even just the promise of hearing every thought he’d had about her pass her lips? Had him aching to find out if he could pull them from her.

“Oh yeah?” he murmured playfully, leaning over her body once more, brushing a kiss over her lips through a smile. He was careful in the movement, so as not to dislodge her hand, the slide of her palm over his cock sending sparks through him, lighting pleasure too good to give up for almost anything. Almost. “Like what?”

Even keeping contact with her hand didn’t stop him from pressing closer, brushing against the wetness between her thighs. He wasn’t looking to draw things out any longer. Steve wanted her and he wanted now. There’d be time and opportunity to tease more later. There were going to be chances for everything. Every touch and every desire he didn’t even know he had. To figure out what they liked together.

The time for it wasn’t now. The excitement of the firsts needed to be overcome before he could think about anything more.

Even just pressed against her, Steve couldn't stop the softly appreciative groan that left him. As much as his mind said take things slow, treasure her and treat her with every ounce of care, savor the moment he'd never imagined possible, his body said to forget all of that. He wanted her, and she was asking for it.

He smiled against her lips, wound up just nodding, not drawing away and just rubbing his nose against hers in the process. "Yeah," he murmured, "I like the sound of that."

Steve more than liked the sound of it. He'd never had anything set every nerve in him alight in quite the same way, and there was no resisting the pull of their desire. He shifted to settle one hand on her hip, as if to anchor her to him, and slowly began to press into her. And just that made him want to nearly explode with pleasure, the sensation of her surrounding him, tight and warm and wet, could drive any man over the edge, but Steve forced himself to take it slow, to watch her as her body accepted him.

He knew she wasn't easy to hurt, but the part of him that would always worry about her regardless was hard to silence.

She may not need him to treat her tenderly, but Steve was going to do it until the moment she told him otherwise. His own sexual experience was limited, just a handful of women in all his years and every single one of them needing him to be cautious in order to protect them from himself. Gentle was a habit he’d picked up even when every fiber of his being wanted to let go. To release the tension he held and to learn whether or not he liked something more too. 

Because gentle was great. Even better when he wanted their first time together to feel special, whatever they meant in his strange mix of modern and old fashioned sensibilities. But maybe not so gentle could be good too. Who knew. 

“Wait’ll you see,” Steve murmured with a breathy laugh, “how much better it’ll be if I do this.” Slowly, enough it was neatly torture for him, he rolled his hips against hers, a long, deep thrust that withdrew just the same. If the urge for more hadn’t been so strong it could almost be called leisurely. 

As it was, it was closer to teasing. And she’d have to tell him to stop it.

In another situation, Steve definitely would have blushed. He'd have been embarrassed for being called out. But in the moment, it sounded like encouragement, and he did know she was sturdier than she looked. Sturdier than even him. She could take it.

He echoed her groan, dragging his lips away from hers, pressing his instead to her throat, the slow strokes not speeding up but rather pressing just a little deeper when he slid into her.

"I know you won't." But now he was most definitely, undoubtedly, teasing again. Something he would later be impressed with himself for having the capability to do in the first place. He ached for more, just as she did. The movement of her hips beneath his made it clear she wanted what she wasn't quite asking for. He wanted to give it to her. But he wanted her to feel how important she was to him, too, and so he was going to do what felt like meeting it in the middle.

Which was taking things torturously slow until he couldn't take it anymore and she was writhing and begging him to give in.

There was something uniquely satisfying about drawing those pleas from her. Maybe it wasn’t that difficult a thing to do, Steve recognized that he didn’t know enough about this side of her, barely knew enough about her at all, to know one way or the other, but the swell in his chest came all the same. Maybe he just liked hearing it. He hardly counted himself as experienced enough to know those things. It didn’t really matter in the end.

The only thing that mattered was that she wanted him.

A smile interrupted the kisses to her neck. She was quick, his girl, answering the teasing questions he would definitely have asked before he had the chance to voice them. Because he would have, as much to tease her as to be sure she was getting exactly what she wanted. That was important to him. It was the most important thing to him.

“No?” There was amusement in his voice, and he nipped playfully at her skin, knowing he couldn’t hurt her. “You need more, huh?” He didn’t really give her opportunity to answer, didn’t really need to hear it this time to know she did. His weight shifted to give himself a little more leverage and he thrust sharply into her, driving in hard.

Steve not holding back could seriously injure most women. Claire wasn’t most women. They’d never have been there in the first place if she was.

Playful and teasing wasn't something Steve ever really got to be, not with anyone. He held himself too seriously most of the time. But with Claire, in that moment, he was letting go, letting a bit of the version of himself he'd only ever given glimpses of run free. Secure in the fact that that it was okay to embrace the fantasies he'd never thought would come to light, he was at ease with her. He wasn't holding any part of himself back anymore.

Her pleas were impossible to refuse, and Steve wasn't inclined to deny her anything. Not when she was wrapped around him the way she was, not when her soft hands were on his skin and she was so warm and tight around his cock. Not when she was asking for exactly what he wanted to give her.

"Like what?" he encouraged, wanting more of those pleas, more of the voice that was quickly becoming music to his ears, though he knew the answer because she looked just as good to him. Better, maybe, spread out in in his bed like she was, breathless for him. Every heave of her chest brought her closer to him and he couldn't resist the urge to feel that press too. It was easy for him to simply balance his weight on one arm, freed hand moving to cover her breast once more. And the rhythm of his thrusts into her wetness stayed sharp, quick, inching one bit at a time toward roughness.

Which she still deserved better than but how he thought she deserved to be treated aside, she deserved what she liked and what was going to get her off.

Later, when there wasn't a deep pleasure building in his gut, Steve would want to hear all about how she'd imagined him looking. He'd want to hear all about every fantasy she'd conjured up about him. When he was less focused on her and giving her everything she needed, he'd want her to tell him everything she'd ever wanted from him just so he could start giving it to her.

"I've got you," he promised, his own voice equally soft, pleasure rumbling beneath it. He had absolutely no intentions of stopping, not now, not ever, not as long as she was still interested in having him, not as long as she still wanted him. "Not stopping until you come for me."

Steve wanted absolutely nothing more, though just fucking her for the rest of time came a pretty close second.

His hand on her body became a little firmer, kneading her breast under his palm. The urge to be gentle with her melting away in the wake of his need, tension working its way into his muscles as that need and the pleasure he took from her built higher and hotter in him. He brushed his lips to hers in a breathless kiss.

Her being too loud was the very least of Steve’s concerns in the moment, few as those even were. Everything had zeroed in to be just her, just them, just the satisfaction of fantasies built up over who even knew how long. It was impossible to worry that someone might be by the door and overhear them, that answering all the questions that would come would be much sooner than they were planning on.

All that mattered was her pleasure, and his own by extension.

Making her feel good felt good and every thrust into her willing body took him closer and closer to the edge as well. He was closer than he wanted, because he, too, was reluctant to end their first time together. Even knowing they could spend all night exploring each other, neither needing much rest and he expected if his ability to heal could keep him hard, hers could keep her wet and ready too. It wasn’t something he’d spent much time considering, but the thought, as many had, had crossed his mind.

A smile tugged at his lips, still brushing against hers, the intimacy of the closeness even as he fucked her with hard strokes tugging at his heart. “Let go, then,” he murmured, his gentle encouragement carrying a bit of the sharpness of an order despite his best intentions. “Come for me, Claire. Let me have it.”

He wanted to see her face, feel her cunt squeezing him. He wanted it all.

She didn't need to ask for it, but that she did was enough to send him toppling over after her. A few more quick thrusts and he was shuddering harshly as his own orgasm overtook him. His steady pace faltered, jerking without stopping as a deep and satisfied groan was wrenched from his chest.

Slowly, as the high settled, he stopped moving over her but he didn't pull away. He continued kissing her, gentling that as well as his heartrate started to come down again, his weight settling more firmly against her, and for a moment, or a few, he was content to just bask in the glow of the two of them while they caught their breath again.

He did smile against her lips, wound up nudging his nose to hers after a bit, a playful fondness that he was coming to like with Claire even if he'd never had that sort of thing with anyone before.

"That's better than I imagined." Of course he'd imagined. More than he'd ever thought he should do. Now, all those imaginings and fantasies were just more things he wanted to try with her.

The flush in her cheeks was endearing, and not so unlike the reaction Steve would have if he came out and asked for the things he wanted. The exertion wasn't so clear on him, a faint sheen of sweat on his skin but within moments his pulse and his breathing were returning to normal, but he was more easily embarrassed than a man his age ought to be. So he thought at any rate.

He gave a little hum of pleasure, just stayed there with her face tucked into his neck for a second, enjoying the intimacy of the moment. They'd both be more comfortable if he moved, though, and so he did, simply turning them to one side. He got an arm under her, so he could really envelop her in his embrace, so he could cradle her close. Like she was something precious to him.

She was. Even if this thing went absolutely nowhere now that they'd done something with the sexual tension, he cared about her more than just someone he mentored. More than just a co-worker. More than just a friend.

"Nothing says we can't have both," he pointed out in quiet amusement. "But only if you're sharing first." No doubt if she did share, he'd just wind up aroused again though.
