Sam steps closer then, enough that it would be easy to reach out and touch. Close enough to pick up the rich, sweet scent of a young, unmated omega. Close enough that he can whisper.
Close enough that if anyone saw them, they would be accused of something closer still.
"You're offering to commit treason, Sergeant Barnes. I know you're smart enough not to risk life and limb out of lust. And I hope this is not how you think to serve your duty to your country or its crown. That leaves a kindness. An awful risk to take for one. If we were suspected, much less caught, i would be shamed and in trouble, but your peril would be the noose."
He reaches out then. Shy, tentative. Fingers curling in the sash that serves as a belt on Bucky's regalia. He looks so good in it.
"You would have to swear it is kindness, and not love. Because I could not bear to lead you on when I will be sent to King Walker within a few months. And you could not take your time with it."

He swallows.
"With me. It would have to be fast."
