"Despite her code name, she doesn't really eat men for breakfast.  I'm sure you know that.  Besides, it was for a mission."  Steve shook his head, half amused, half exasperated. "And I gave her the same answer I gave you. Not dead and not my first kiss since the forties." He had a deep respect and appreciation for skills, both on and off the battlefield, but preferred it if they were not used on him. "And I prefer to kiss someone I actually have feelings for. That, does take time."

He sighed at the feeling of fingers rubbing against his back. "Good. I'm glad."

"Hmmm?" Steve was startled out of his thoughts at the comment. "No they wouldn't. Why would they? It's not like being gay is illegal nowadays. Besides, Tony's made it clear he's tried everything at least once and no one but the rabid paparazzi gives him grief over it." Steve wouldn't stand for anything other than teasing over something liked this.
