Clint pulled her a little closer, feeling that he had touched a sensitive subject without wanting it and placed another gentle kiss on her neck. Now she had asked, now he couldn't just leave the subject if he didn't want to make it worse.
"I'd rather call it attraction. Wouldn't want to take something like lust to a battle field. At that point you had outrun my arrows two times, I'd hunted you down through two continents and you had me half cut open before I even realized."
His free hand wandered to the long fainted scar along his abdomen, from the wound that had so barely missed a main artery. That one had been a bitch to recover from. But it had been more than worth it, every day, every single hour since then. Every pain, every heartache. With every day he had learned to appreciate and soon love the deep, scarred but yet so beautiful soul that lived in Natasha's deadly body, but the attraction... had always been there.
"Before I had met you, there was no one who could really put up a fight, you know. It was just shooting, training, killing every few weeks and all these dull rules and regulations. Fury told me a few details of your file before he sent me off, so I had troubles with this assignment from the start. I was never really sure I could make that shot. When you had me on the floor, I just knew, there was so much more in you than your past."
