Part 1 of Expect The Unexpected

Bucky is a brilliant young engineer with a global company.

His boss, Natasha, wants him to take a training course on kidnap and ransom, which happens to be run by her friend Steve.

Part 42 of Steve/Bucky modern au's

Bucky Barnes was twenty-five years old. He had been a student of something before whatever happened to him, well. Happened. Bucky had lived his first shot at youth with a red, beating heart and the world before his feet until Steve’s own failure on the other side of the planet reduced Bucky and billions of others to lifeless, gray dust. But now—now, after 2023 and weak long-shots and time machines—here Bucky was: still ash in the wind even when he was ten feet away from Steve and made of bleeding, splintered flesh. He was ash reformed as a lonely kid with dirt in his hair and dried blood on his ear, and he was young, and he was devastating, and he was beautiful in a way that burned the tops of Steve’s own lungs.

The AU Farmer Daddy Steve and Bucky story.

Peggy Carter fires all her female staff after one comes onto her husband, Steve Rogers. She hires Bucky Barnes to be their new live-in houseboy to avoid any kind of infidelity taking place. However, that doesn't go as planned when Steve becomes increasingly interested in his new houseboy.

Bucky Barnes treats himself to a one-night stand after having a very bad no good day.

The sex is good--great, even. Might be the best sex of his life.

But Bucky wouldn’t have slept with the guy if he had known that he was going to continuously run into him every day for the next fucking month. -- Or, a Big Grump Bucky has a hot one night stand with a college kid who is popping up everywhere in his everyday life and he doesn’t know how to deal with it. (Written for HYBB Bingo Square: Grumpy Bucky)

When Steve Rogers, 24, became a male escort, there was no room for emotions. He had a full appointment book and no time for that. He had it all planned out. There was definitely no time to get attached to an older, very successful, very gorgeous man who paid for his services. Absolutely no time.

But Steve can’t turn down the money that’s currently rolling in, along with the gifts and the opportunity to live in the lap of luxury. How on earth is he supposed to say no? Especially once he starts falling for the man.

James Barnes, 38, successful resort designer and CEO for Winter Luxury Resorts, stumbled upon Steve Rogers, Escort in a dark, high end bar in midtown Manhattan. He was cocky, young and beautiful and offered James exactly what he was looking for—the chance to be with a man who knew the ropes and offered no opportunity to get attached.

Until of course, he gets attached. And suddenly, what was a contractual affair turns into much more. All thanks to a phrase Steve had used to pick him up that night in that dimly lit bar, a phrase that had turned Bucky’s world on its side, no matter how much Steve had just been being cheeky….

“Sugar Daddy wanted.."

Steve has eight hours of peace and quiet to enjoy on the train. In between mountains of paperwork, he has four hundred and eighty minutes to continue pretending that he's okay with the life he is living.

Eight hours is disrupted by a body sitting down next to him. A familiar whiskey-rough voice and blue eyes that he still had dreams about, even six years later. Bucky Barnes, the man that he cheated on his husband with. The only man he's ever loved. Still loves.

And Bucky can see right through him. Read him like an open book and know that Steve still isn't happy.

"I swear sweetheart, the day I can't get it up for you is the day you have my permission to put me in a home, cause I'll be on death’s door.”

Bucky's back was pressed against the cold floor and he stared through blurry eyes as Steve stood over him. He was trying to push himself as far away as he could, using his hands and bare feet to slide himself out from between Steve's legs but he couldn't find purchase against the wooden floor. Steve's legs were locked on both sides of his hips and Bucky couldn't move, couldn't get away, and the room was swimming before his eyes and he couldn't focus, couldn't think straight. All he could make out was the hazy figure of Steve towering over him and he lifted his arm to push uselessly at Steve's shin.

"P-please," Bucky whispered. His voice was weak, like him, and his jaw trembled as Steve reached down.

Steve slid down onto the floor and effortlessly gathered him into his strong arms, cradling Bucky to his chest as he leaned against the wall. "Bucky," Steve breathed. One of his large hands slid gently into Bucky's hair, the other curving against his spine and pulling him even closer. "You're mine now, remember?"

Steve's grip tightened then it all went black.
