Always the Bridesmaid

Summary: after years of always being the bridesmaid, your sister's wedding suddenly nets you the interest of two incredibly handsome, charming men.

A/N: entirely written on my phone. Not proofread or edited. All mistakes are my own.

Part 2

Another wedding, another bridesmaid dress for the collection. Between family and friends you'd been to more weddings than you care to count and never for yourself. No, that would require meeting someone who wasn't an asshole and was actually interested in you. You did enjoy seeing your friends so happy at these things. The open bar didn't hurt, either.

It was the wedding of your youngest sister, being held at the fanciest hotel the families could afford, and you were being paired up with one of the groom's best friends. Nick was damn handsome and so very polite when you were introduced at the rehearsal. He even pulled out your chair for you at dinner. It was refreshing to meet a tall, handsome, charismatic man with manners.

The two of you talked for as much as you could during the rehearsal and dinner. He seemed to genuinely enjoy your stories. His eyes sparkled whenever he smiled and it made you swoon.

Turns out he's a high ranking CIA official. When you expressed how impressive that is he got a little shy saying, "well, it takes a lot of work which doesn't leave a lot of time for socializing. I'll admit, it's kinda... Not depressing, that's not the right word. But my youngest friend is getting married and I'm just feeling my age."

"I get that," you console. "He's marrying my youngest sister. Meanwhile I can't get a guy past a few dates."

Ohhhhh.... Did Nick steal her room key so he could do some recon and make sure she is who she says she is?

If not,...

Maybe that would have been a good idea, Nick.

Hmmm? Do a little vetting?

Some CIA agent you are, Nick.

That's right. You heard me.

You're getting sloppy, Nick.

Sloppy.

Now I realize I'm super late to this ballgame, but I'm also super curious how it would go down if Jonathan had won the poll. He sure deserves a little ball play too.

A man shows up shortly after. You think it’s the judge but you vaguely recognise his thick gray hair and his stance. Steve greets him happily and introduces him as Bucky; the other witness. 

He nods at you and your mom as he crosses his arms and subtly checks his watch. He’s not dressed as nicely as Steve; he has no jacket but he wears a button-up and slacks. You wonder if he’s just as surprised by the whole affair or even if he has the context to be. 

Ohhhhhh poor Dot!!!

That was so awful! I want to go spit in that other woman's food.

With Your Touch Masterlist

You were supposed to be living a normal life. Perfect boyfriend, just graduated college, and ready to start your new life. Until you met him. Brooding and imposing unless his daughter is around. You knew nothing about babies, but he knew less. Tension builds, feelings flare up, but are they just because he looks extremely sexy when he's soft? Could it be because you are falling for this princess of a baby girl before him? Is it because when he's in town you're too close? The money is good, and yet his attention is better.

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5

A/N: this story will include themes of age gap, forced au pair, close proximity, jealousy, obsession, possessiveness, alluded canon level violence, soft Lloyd, voyeurism, self gratification, pining, and more. Read ALL warnings before each part. And as always, minors DNI

Based on this request: "I was never asking, baby, and I’m not gonna start now." requested by @dragon-of-dreams

Warnings: stalking, intimidation

Character: Jonathan Pine, The Night Manager

You closed the trunk of your car. The figure moving towards you spooked you. You clutched the paper bag of groceries to your side and watched Jonathan as he placed his hand on your car. He leaned on it as he watched you calmly.

“What--” you shuddered, “How did you find me?”

“You really thought I wouldn’t,” he scoffed, “I will say you got a lot further than I expected.”

“I told you no,” you gritted your teeth as you beeped the car and turned the key in your hand to jut out.

“I was never asking, baby, and I’m not going to start now,” he stepped closer and you backed away in kind.

“What more could you want from me?” you hissed, “is that all you want? To keep taking everything I have?”

“I want what’s mine,” he moved quickly and grabbed the bag from your arm. He kept the contents in place as he held it lightly against him. He tugged on the hem of your loose shirt, pulled it taught until the subtle curve of your stomach was clear, “you think I wouldn’t notice?”

“How long have you been watching me?”

“Like I said, you can’t outrun me,” he smirked, “and you should be thankful, a woman in your condition shouldn’t be carrying heavy bags.”

“Jonathan--”

“Unit 3105, correct?” he taunted, “yes, I know everything. I shouldn’t have waited so long but… I just can’t get over the look on your face, baby.”

Please reblog and leave some feedback if you enjoyed.

Yep. I'm terrified and soooo aroused.

It isn’t until you hear the front door that you leave your bed. Much of the morning you’ve spent listening to the buzz of your mom and Steve’s murmurs. They’re plotting their surprise and you’re left to suffocate in anxiety. You can’t think of anything they might be planning. 

I can't wait to see what Bucky's attitude is. Will he be sceptical and gruff, or will he know exactly what Steve's up to?

And I loved it - when did my boobs get so big?

It isn't your proudest moment. You don't have many of those. There is little remarkable about, nothing of note, nothing admirable. You might stand a bit taller than most but it's rarely given as a good thing. 

Hiding and pretending a bumblebee is interesting is NOT how you get away from an extrovert. Nope. They'll just see you as a challenge once they've set their sights on you

OMG !!! I just had a thought! He gets her a selection.

First she chooses this perfectly modest retro style one piece. Full coverage. Like an awesome one piece. How could she feel exposed in this. She puts it on and she looks amazing! Steve notices and of course her mother notices. Her daughter has matured into a full knockout!

Unfortunately to Steve's delight and her horror - once the white gets wet, it's practically see through like a second skin.

The next time he invites her to the pool, "I'm so sorry sweetie about last time. I had no idea. I really thought it would be fine. Well, don't worry. I bought something else that definitely won't be see-through. It's really cute. I think you'll like it. Just try it. Give it a chance. Pleeeeease?"

Then a teddy style tankini, but the second she gets under water, the ruffles all the float up exposing her entire mid drift. And even though it's a dark color, it clings to reveal her nipples worse than if it were see through.

The skirt swimsuit may look modest, but it's a thong underneath and like the tankini, the skirt exposes her booty completely under water.

No wonder Steve keeps playing shark and circling her. And nipping at her knees and tickling her feet.

Forgive me.... You all got me thinking about his devious plans with the pool WAY, too much.

You gag into your hand, shaking. You gurgle and shake out your fingers, the motion of the car adding to your sickness. The man beside you growls. 

"What the fuck is your problem?" 

OMG. I am dying here!!

This is so fucking hilarious!! Soooo funny!!

Not long after you close yourself in your room you hear the front door close. The house is silent but not calm. While you want everything to just go back the way it was, being alone with your mom doesn’t promise you peace. She never takes it well when she doesn’t get her way. 

WE have a surprise for you?

A BIG ONE???

Sooooo did they buy her a new bike?

Picking up a puppy?

Holly moving in with Steve, so Dot gets the house all to herself. Don't worry he'll fill the house with cameras and booby traps so no one will ever get out inside. And he'll be able to see everything that goes on, so she won't need to worry about anything. Ever again.

Omg. Are they getting married??? Bonafide Lolita, but of age.

The king shifts you off of him, lifting you with him as he stands. The tension is rigid in his grip. He steadies your bodies and helps you over the edge of the tub. Another pounding sounds at the door and his name arises again. 

Two big stinky men. LOL Thank god for bath water!! Oh god, can you imagine?? And now there's an entire army inside that castle. I doubt bath water is provided for each knight, soldier, or servant who is taking cover from the storm?

The sound of the door slam, her body language, the room with the heavy canopy hanging above her and she as it's the on this oversized solid heavy wood bed frame with far too soft a mattress. Don't tell the reader —> show the reader. SUCCESS! Mission successfully accomplished this was superb!

Wait! WHAT?????? In due time—what????

"... in due time." What????

"... in due time." WHAT????

BRYCE! BRYCE! HE'S OUR MAN!

IF HE CAN'T PROTECT HER, NOBODY CAN!

Wait. Ew. That cheer has a darker undertone, doesn't it. Oops. Hope I haven't jinxed ya, Treasure.

“Come here,” Jonathan rasps as he drags his hands over his chest.

Let us repeat that....

"You need someone like Jonathan to guide you."

Okay okay... I know she's discussing a different kind of need... But she needs him on so many levels!

Here's our night in shining armour.

Oh boy I was just reading about the White Knight Syndrome. Now I'm so curious about his upbringing.

Ohhhh and by the way - the face sitting scene was perfection!! SO FUCKING PERFECT!

The best night of your life passes in a haze of vibrant afterglow, intermingled with spurts of fiery passion. For as much as you can’t get enough of Jonathan, he can’t get enough of you. You forget about the world; about fatigue and responsibilities. There is only each other, only that desperate need to touch, kiss, and moan.

That's right Daddy!!! You have some business to take care of!!!

All dread washes away as you're swept up in the rush. The drive home quickly becomes a fleet, entangled scramble to the front door. Jonathan pushes you against the front door, crushing his lips to yours as you desperately search your bag for your keys.

“Please,” you rasp as you turn your head, “I can't–”

YES!!!!

OH MAMA! THIS MAN IS FUCKING GOOD! HOT HOT HOT!

You stare straight ahead, to humiliated to look at the man next to you. You haven't since you woke up. 

OMG OMG OMG.... WHAT did they talk about?

Her walking down to the cafeteria and back -

So are these the drugs or the stress? Your writing is magnificent. I relate so much to this.

Another lonely morning greets you. The chirping of birds and the yellow haze of sunlight does little to warm your bed. You stretch your arm out, feeling the empty space beside you. You lift your hand and stare at the ring you forgot to take off, as you often do. Sometimes, you just don’t want to. Sometimes you think if you do, he’ll truly be gone. 

Hmmmmm..... I sure would like to see this man working in the yard across the street.

By the way, the details about the tulips - OMG!!! You just broke my heart here! That really cinched it. WOW!

Sooo, this video is 20 min - I know that's quite a commitment - but I promise you that this is so entertaining and inspiring and interesting as a guy builds an obstacle course in his backyard for his resident squirrels.

Clark drops you off right at the front doors. You’re early. Typically the bus would drop you off a block away about ten minutes later. At least you have your own office to hang out in. 

Oh no.... Is Clark going to see her out to a fancy dinner with Thor after telling Clark that she was too tired? Ohhhh, I bet that won't go over well. Will it?

Before she knows it, she'll be waking up to Thor and going bed to Thor. Eating, sleeping working, shopping , recreation.... Everything Thor.

Oh no! What will Thor be think about her spending time with Clark? SECRETIVE time.

Ohhhh will she and Thor run into Clark and his gal while they're out at dinner? Oh I bet Thor will SMELL the desire on Clark. And vice versa.
