Beautiful dawn
You're just blowing my mind again
Thought I was born to endless night.
Until you shine
High-James Blunt
The armors exploded one by one in the sky above them and it looked like fireworks. Pepper, embracing Tony and with her chin on his shoulder, looked at the lights in wonder, her eyes shining because that moment was a miracle. They were alive, they had survived Killian's cruelty.
"I'm so happy Tony..." Pepper murmured, smiling and then looking at Tony, who caressed her bare back. But Tony hadn't been looking to the sky for some time now, but to Pepper.
Pepper, her strawberry blonde hair slightly scorched, her skin reddened from the fire and with black marks of soot, and looked more beautiful than ever and alive in his arms, despite all the things he had done wrong and not having grabbed her hand in time. He would never let go of her again, she was the love of his life.
"Tony?" She asked lowly, seeing that he was staring at her with his brown eyes shining in silence.
"I love you, Virginia Pepper Potts, and I swear I'll do my best to never make you go through something dangerous like that." He finally said honestly, raising one hand to her cheek and cleaning the soot that was there with affection and Pepper felt her own eyes shine, touched.
"It wasn't your fault, you had no way of knowing what was going to happen." She promised him, staring up at the sky for a moment, seeing another explosion and then she looked at the man who she loved more than anything, stroking his hair on his nape and said, simple and with love: "I love you Tony, forever. "
And Tony felt his heart beat fast and then he closed his eyes, placing a kiss on her forehead, and slowly lowered his lips down her nose, and then his lipsd met hers.
That moment was unique, because it was like it was New Year, midnight when everyone shared a kiss under the fireworks. Pepper kissed him back with passion, feeling the pressure of his lips and she brought a hand up to his chest, feeling his heart and the arc reactor, tracing the device with a finger, feeling him closer and, feeling both alive.
Peper's lips parted for Tony and their tongues fought for control and then, his hand on her back began to descend toward the bar of her black leggings, slipping in and making Pepper shiver in Tony's arms, feeling him caress her bare waist, teasing her.
Tony had missed that, Pepper's presence, her skin, her taste, as his hand lowered from her waist inside her pants, down her lower back, and brought her closer.
As they both broke off the kiss, panting, the last armor exploded, lighting above them and they looked up, before facing each other and Tony muttered in a hoarse voice, full of desire:
"Ready to go, love?" And she whispered in his ear with a small mischievous grin, making him smile:
"I am... I need you Tony..."
