This is a story I wrote for my best friends Vicky, Kathrin and Carmi. A special and big thank you to Jonas who forced me to write my own FF after reading about 50 others and talking about it all day long.

Iron Man again. Sorry for any mistakes.

Hope you'll like it. Please review even if you don't like, so I can do better writing next time.

Chapter 1

Bad Influence

„How can you resign if I don't accept this?" Tony asked while grabbing her hands turning her around to face her. To finally look into her beautiful big blue eyes underlined by some nice freckles, her face freed from her strawberry-blond hair which she put up in a ponytail.

While he's lacing his gloved fingers with hers and saying such sloppy but even wonderful words Pepper chuckled.

„How can you even think that I wasn't joking? You'd die without my babysitting you. Can you even open a fidget without me?" she replied smiling mischievously.

„True I can't do anything without you, but not because I can't do it, cause I want you to do it. You're not my PA and not my CEO, … well actually you are, but that's not the point right now…, you're truly all I have, but more important, you're all I ever wanted. I just didn't realize it, ´till Afghanistan. I stopped sleeping around all night through nearly every single bed in Malibu, because I finally realized how much it must hurt you. I haven't changed because of Afghanistan, I have changed, because I understand I would regret it if I can't make you feel better. And I'm here right now, not to tell you how much I became better or what kind of genius, billionaire, playboy and philanthropist I am. I'm here to tell you how much I excuse to what I've done to you the last weeks, months or years. And I thank the one right above every single day that you are so strong and determined that you'd stayed more than one year. And …"

Tony was cut off at this point by some soft, warm lips crashing against his owns. He knew she was crying not because of seeing tears slowly running down her face while he was speaking, but he felt her soft sniffs in between their kisses. He wrapped his arms around her waist and her neck to pull her closer and deepen their kiss, pleased that there was no Rhodey or anyone to interrupt them. Her Hands went up his arms, along is biceps and settled in his hair. Trying not to scare her he decided not to try a French-kiss yet, but it was actually very hard for him to resist, 'cause part of his remained playboy-behavior claimed for the woman he wanted so desperatly for much too long.

When he finally pulled away, only in lack of oxygen, his hands went up and rested at either side of her face and looked at her. She wrinkled her nose, her eyes slightly shut.

„Ok, now it is weird." He said.

A bit upset Pepper lost her grip on him and stepped back. Looking down on the floor, turning around, to not gaze at him showing her shock on the one hand but more important her incredibly sadness and hurt which is caused by his words.

He then made his way up behind her, wrapping his arms around her from behind and settle them on her waist. Her heard her sobbing and suddenly turned her around an embraced her. He whispered:

„I did say it's weird, but not the kiss or anything else I'd like to do with you or what I did with you. It's weird what kind of softy you turn me into when I'm around you."

She couldn't help but giggle. Yes indeed he became a softy and it only took her two almost-kisses and two mind-blowing, heart exploding, totally overdue kisses.

„Gosh what did I do to you?" glancing up at him, ocean blue meeting chocolate brown.

„Bad influence, Miss Potts."

„Will that be all Mr. Stark?"

„No." Leaning forward, pressing another soft, slow, longing, lingering kiss on her lips. He picked her up bridal style and smiled down to her. „That will be all Miss Potts. Let's head out of here before Rhodey returns. Hold on."

Good? Bad? Next Chapter?
