Alarm flickers across Sam's features at the formal challenge. Because an alpha wanting to fuck him a few times despite an ongoing courtship is one thing. But a formal challenge is another. Someone can fuck him all they want and Sam can walk away every time.
Courtships are a different beast of a social contract. Formal challenges are rarely issued. They're a bit of an old school thing. Popular trope in Regency movies for sure. They are binding though in ways declaring you wanna have someone and play for keeps isn't.
It also means while Sam is under no obligation to make things easy for James, he has to five him some form of a chance in this. And it might also mean Tony could absolutely lose the claim a courtship implies.
He rewards the declaration by biting Bucky's lower lip hard, and biting a second time when the man tries to deepen the kiss regardless.
It doesn't deter the alpha, and just makes their kiss sting sharply and taste of blood. Sam whimpers his protest around the feeling of a tongue sliding into him - and full on whines, startled, when he hears the sound of ripping fabric as his jeans give way to Bucky's intentions.
