Again, I don't own anything. Here's part 2, smut abounds:
"What Tony? What are you trying to tell me?" She whispered.
"Pepper Potts. . . I love you," he whispered. He didn't mean to say it, but that didn't make it any less true. Time seemed to stand still, and he began to mentally kick himself for dropping that bombshell so foolishly, but when his declaration finally seeped into her brain, Pepper's tense stance relaxed and she melted into his arms. Her warmth immediately seeped into his body along with a flood of relief. She felt his body heat surround her along with his own unique scent and a slow warmth pooled in her belly and spread like fire throughout her. She nuzzled into the side of his neck and felt his arms hold her even tighter like she would disappear if he let go. She felt his stubble graze against her cheek as he pulled his head back to look her in the eyes again. He lifted his hand and gently cupped the side of her face running his thumb over her lips where they parted once more. Then it was as if something snapped in both of them and they couldn't contain their need anymore.
Their lips came crashing together and one or both of them moaned. He couldn't be sure who. He traced her bottom lip with his tongue begging her to part them for him. She did and their tongues battled. Tony tangled one hand in her hair at the base of her neck and wrapped the other around her waist grinding his hips into hers and slowly backing her towards the stairs leading up out of the workshop. Somehow they managed up the flight with Tony only having to steady Pepper once when her heel caught on the edge of a stair. As a result he lifted her into his arms and carried her the rest of the way to his room.
Pepper couldn't believe this was happening and couldn't believe she was letting it happen. But she knew in her heart that Tony had really changed after Afghanistan and that he really loved her. In that moment when he finally put his feelings into words she saw the truth of it in his eyes and all of the walls she had built to resist him came crumbling down. And now at this moment, Pepper Potts was in Tony Stark's famous bedroom, but all thoughts of the women that had been in his past and their fates in the morning were forgotten.
Tony slowed their frenzied kissing into a gently torturous one. He lazily stroked his tongue against hers and angled their heads so he could get even closer to her. He tried to pour all of his feelings into that kiss and she happily accepted them as a new spark shot through her body causing her hips to press more firmly against his. Tony let out a moan and ran his hands from her hair down her neck and back to the hem of her shirt. He felt her shiver and he couldn't help but grin mid-kiss. He ran his hands along her lower back and up carrying her shirt with his movements. Her skin seemed to heat under his touch and he savored the feeling of its softness. He broke the kiss to lift her shirt over her head and immediately resumed where he left off.
Pepper felt like her skin was on fire every where he touched and as his hands brushed the clasp of her bra, she was spurned into movement. She lifted her slightly trembling hands to the edge of his wife beater and tugged it over his head just as he pushed her bra straps off of her shoulders and let it fall to the floor. Pepper worked on removing the rest of his clothing while Tony began to attack her neck and shoulders, alternating between gently nipping at the skin around her collar bone and laving it with his tongue and lips. He felt the need to mark her as his own, something he had never felt inclined to do to the other women he'd had. But this was Pepper and he wanted her to be only his since she was all he had and all he needed.
Finally, they were both skin to skin with only Pepper's lace panties separating them. Tony lifted her and lowered her on the bed. Instinctively, she wrapped her legs around his waist and locked them behind him urging him closer. He gazed down on her from his vantage on propped up forearms and gently brushed the hair from her face searching her eyes. "Are you sure? You need to know I meant it Pepper," he whispered. "God," he paused searching her eyes,"... I love you so much."
"I know Tony, I know," Her eyes locked with his and seemed to penetrate to his very soul. "I love you too." Tony broke into a beaming smile and looked as if he were going to say something, but Pepper cut him off: "I know. . .just shut up and kiss me."
That was all Tony needed to hear. Their lips connected again and Tony slowly began to work down her body, caressing her breasts with his lips, tongue, and fingers. He worked one nipple into his mouth and gently blew on it causing another shiver to run down Pepper's body as she tangled her fingers in his hair and held him to her. He placed kisses along her stomach and when he reached her lower abdomen felt her suck in a breath when his stubble tickled her there. She felt him grin against her stomach and his fingers gently brushed her sides and lower abs causing her to tremble again and a short giggle escaped. Hmmm, Tony thought, I'll have to explore that later. Tony continued his ministrations as he drug her red lace panties down her legs and off. For a moment he just sat there and drank in the sight of her. Pepper's eyes flew open at the absence of his touch and a blush crept over her face and down her neck at his unwavering stare. A wicked grin crossed his face and he lifted one of her feet pressing a kiss to it and working his way up her leg causing her to writhe with pleasure, she felt his breath on her core, but he moved past and worked his way down her other leg. Pepper couldn't take it anymore. "Tony," she groaned.
He locked eyes with her as he worked his way back up her body pausing at her breastbone. "Yes Pepper?" He sounded quite smug, but his voice was gravelly like he was having a hard time controlling himself.
She locked eyes with him "Tony, I need you. . . . .now"
With that she angled her hips under him and Tony gave in to everything he had been holding back, positioning himself over her and thrusting into her in one quick movement. Both held completely still reveling in the feeling of finally being where they had wanted to be for so long. Then Tony began to move and Pepper arched her body to meet him thrust for thrust taking him deeper. "God Pep," he moaned. He couldn't believe how right she felt, how absolutely perfect. He couldn't believe how long he'd been missing out on this, but he would never take her for granted again and refused to linger on the what ifs.
Their hands roamed over each others bodies, memorizing curves and planes. Pepper's nails scraped over his muscular back and with one final thrust they both fell over the edge, him swallowing her cries in a searing kiss. A kiss that promised they had found the love of a lifetime.
