Wow, it's been forever since I posted anything. Hope you guys will like this short one. It's in the same universe as my other stories: Just Say It, Need You Now and Right Behind You.
Pepper's latest craving? Fur. Yes, you got that right, fur. She can't get enough of it. She has to be touching fur every minute of everyday. And that means Marley is with her all the time. ALL THE TIME. He even goes to bed with us. And she cuddles with him! Never mind me, her ever loving sexy husband, the father of her baby. No, I have been pushed to the sidelines. And that it unacceptable. I will not stand for it. That is why I, the great Tony Stark, have a plan. We had just dropped the mutt off at the vet to, you know, get him fixed. And Pepper, as you can imagine, is devastated. She cried the whole car ride home. But now she is soaking and relaxing in the bath that I prepared for her as I prepare for my genius plan.
"Sir, Miss Potts has finished with her bath and is now getting ready for bed."
"Okay, I'm going in. Wish me luck."
"Good luck, Sir."
"Thanks, Jarv." And I march to our room. This has to work because I need my wife back. "Pepper?" I say as I knock on the door.
"Yes? Tony? Why are you knock-"
"Wait! No, don't open the door."
"Uh..okay. What's going on?"
"Okay." I say as I take a deep breath. It's now or never. "I have a uh..surprise for you but it's a little uh...unconventional? So I just wanted to warn you so you don't freak out. Okay?"
"What do you mean unconventional? What did you do?"
"It's hard to explain. Just...just don't freak out. Okay? I'll open the door and I'll come in and don't freak out okay?"
"I don't get it but okay. Whatever it is I'm sure I can handle it."
"Okay, good. I'm coming in now, okay?"
"Okay, Tony."
And I open the door and enter our room.
"Oh. My. God." She gasps.
"Pepper..."
"Tony..."
"Please don't freak out."
"I'm...what..."
"Well I know how much you like fur nowadays and Marley's not gonna be here till tomorrow so you know, I thought I'd help you out."
"By dressing up in a bear suit?"
"Uh...yeah. Here." I take her hand and run it over my fur covered chest. "See?" She steps closer so she can run both hands over my furry chest and I knew I had her. My plan worked.
"Tony," She looks up at me and places both hands on either side of my face - the only part of my not covered in faux-fur.
"Is this-" I didn't get to finish my question as her lips are suddenly on mine, her hands roaming all over my umm...fur. I grin at her when she stops for air.
"I look adorable, don't I?"
"Yes. I wonder what people will say if they find out that you're parading around the house in a bear suit." She giggles and pulls me to our bed.
"No fair telling them, Pep." I say as we settle under the covers.
"Wait can I take a picture first?" She asks moving to reach for her crakberry.
"Pepper." I give her a pittiful pout. She laughs and curls into my side, one hand resting on her bump.
"Don't worry, Tony. I won't tell a soul." I turn to my side so I am facing her and wedge my leg in between hers and place an arm around her.
She humms and burrows deeper into me. "I can always ask Jarvis for the footage anayway." She giggles.
