Tony Stark had always hated formal events. The food was great and the alcohol was nice, and the scenery was always swell, and most of the time the things he brought home with him were wonderful as well. But the actual events he despised. He wasn't really sure why though. But he just always hated them. But Pepper was forcing him to attend this time, and how could he deny her anything?
"JARVIS, how much time do I have left?" Asked the billionaire, who was dressed in a black tux, a purple undershirt and white tie.
"You don't sir, you are out of time as a matter of time." The computer answered, "Happy is waiting outside for you right now."
He grinned, "Perfect." he checked his appearance in the mirror one last time before heading out the door. once outside he found Happy waiting for him in the limo.
"No pepper tonight ?" happy asked, opening the door for him.
He shook his head, "She got ready at her own place. I'm meeting her there."
He nodded, "You late."
Tony smirked, "It's called being fashionably late."
Once he stepped in the room he regretted his decision to come. The room was filled with people that he no interest in getting to know. He knew maybe ten of the people in the whole room. Ten out of hundreds. Before he became Iron man he would come to parties and go home with some pretty blonde girl, which was the only good part about the night. But ever since he became Iron man he was a different person. And then there was Pepper.
Wait, where was she anyway?
looking around he searched for his girlfriend. He didn't know what she was wearing, so looking for a specific dress color would be useless. He guessed purple though, it just seemed like a purple kind of night.
he spotted her red hair before her dress, which was purple. he smirked to himself, he was right.
Her dress was a floor length and shimmery, the back was laced up and was strapless, which Tony greatly appreciated. The front had a beaded design on the top, nothing to fancy though. It had just a bit of silver gems in it as well, but not to many. Over all the dress was simple and elegant. Her reed hair was in loose curls and were otherwise left untouched, which allowed them to fall around her shoulders and framed her face. She had a small headband with silver gems going across it placed in her hair as well. She stood talking to Rhodey, a huge smile on her face. It made him happy to know that the beautiful woman before him was his, and all the sleazy men around couldn't have her, and there was nothing they could do about it.
He broke away from his thoughts and headed over to his red headed beauty.
"Your out of control gorgeous." He said coming up behind her, wrapping his arm around her waist.
She giggled, "Your late.""Fashionably late." He corrected.
Rhodey rolled his eyes and left the two alone.
"Someone looks simply amazing tonight." Tony said, and Pepper smiled.
"Thank you."
"I was talking about me." He leaned closer to her and whispered in her ear, "You on the other hand look absolutely stunning." She rolled her eyes but couldn't help the huge grin the appeared on her lips.
"Would my lovely girlfriend care to dance?" He asked, taking her hand and not waiting for an answer. He pulled her onto the dance floor, and wrapped his arm securely around her waist and pulled her close to him, then took her hand in his.
You know I'd fall apart without you I don't know how you do what you do
'Cause everything that don't make sense about me
Makes sense when I'm with you
Like everything that's green, growing needs you
But it's more than one and one makes two
Put aside the math and the logic of it
You gotta know you're wantedtoo
"Thank you for the compliment earlier by the way." She said.
He smiled, "Your welcome."
Pepper let go of his hand and slid her arms around his neck, then rested her head on his shoulder. He put his other hand around her waist and pulled her closer. "Your pretty." He whispered in her ear, and she couldn't help the giggle that escaped her lips.
'Cause I wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
Never let you forget it
Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted
"Thank you." He said.
"For?"
He shrugged, "For sticking around all this time. Before and after Iron Man."
Pepper smiled into his neck,"I'll always be here for you. No matter what happens."
Tony chuckled some, "I just know I'm a lot to put up with. And dating Iron man can't possibly be an easy job."
"Thats what people do when they care about someone Tony. They put up with all of their crap."
Anyone can tell you you're pretty
(Yeah)
You get that all the time, I know you do
But your beauty's deeper than the makeup
And I wanna show you what I see tonight
He glanced around and noticed men staring at Pepper, and he didn't like it. She belonged to him. Property of Anthony Stark. Tony pulled back from her some and looked into her eyes. She raised an eyebrow in question, but all he did was take her hand and lead her off the dance floor and out to the rooftop balcony. "What are you doing?" She asked.
"To many people in there. I don't like it."
She grinned, "Is Iron Man jealous?" Pepper asked, a smirk playing at her lips.
He didn't answer her, instead he placed his hands back on her hips and pulled her closer, "That's better." He said. The music could still be heard, and he was planning on finishing their dance. "Your avoiding the question." Pepper said with a smirk. Instead of answering he pressed his lips to hers in attempt to get her to shut up.
"You see," He started after he pulled away, "Its just like being on the roof last time. Only this time, " He kissed her again, "I'll actually kiss you."
When I wrap you up
When I kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
Never let you forget it
'Cause baby I wanna make you feel wanted
"Pepper." He whispered.
"Hmm?" Pepper mumbled.
He sighed, "You know I'm not good with words. And I don't really know how to say this but, well." He stopped for a second and searched for the right words. By tis time Pepper had moved her head from his shoulder so she was now looking into his eyes.
"I want you."
Pepper raised an eyebrow, "It took you all that time to say that?"
he shook his head, "No no no. I mean, I want you. All of you, and I never want to give you up. I want you to know that your wanted by me. And i'm so happy that I can call you mine, and that you are mine. And there is nothing any of those good for nothing men in there can do about it. And I know that I spend a lot of time on missions or working on projects, but I want you to know that you are so much more important to me than any of those things."
By this time Pepper had tears forming in her eyes as she listened to what he had to say.
"And I want you to know that you are the most beautiful, amazing, crazy, heart-stealing person that I have ever met. And... I like you, alot. I mean I really-"
Pepper cut him off by putting hands on the back of his neck and pressing her lips to his.
As good as you make me feel
I wanna make you feel better
Better than your fairy tales
Better than your best dreams
You're more than everything I need
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
When they pulled away she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and hugged him, burying her head in his neck, "I love you Tony."
He grinned, thankful she said what he was trying to. "I love you to Pepper." he thought for a second, "What do you say we blow this place? It had bad wine anyway." He suggested.
"And where do you suggested we go?" She asked with a smile.
"Hmm..." He pretended to think, "We could go back to my mansion? Have some good wine and go from there?"
Pepper grinned, "Sounds like a plan to me."
And I just wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
Never let you forget it
Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted
Yeah, baby I wanna make you feel -
Wanted
'Cause you'll always be wanted
She let go of him and took his hand, "Let's go."
