My Little Pepper Pot

Chapter 2

Pepper gazed over at Tony after inhaling his delightful post-shower scent, "thank you for the tea," she said thoughtfully

"Anytime Pep" Tony said, flashing her a smile

She took a long swig of her drink, some ice went with it and slid down her parched throat making her giggle. Tony watched her, delighted by her smile and the way her nose wrinkled slightly as she laughed.

It was too cute for words.

Tony took a sip of his drink. He was not one for remembering meetings or appointments but today seemed familiar. Something important. Then it flashed across his mind; it was ten years since Pepper had started working for Stark Industries. He turned towards Pepper, who was sat to his right, "You remember what today is?"

She thought for a moment. Her mind lost in the haziness of the warm afternoon, swimming in iced tea.

"If its something important I should remember it," she said looking into his chocolate brown eyes.

"I'll give you a clue..."

"Go on..." Pepper replied, intrigued. Her eyes studying his face

"Ten years."

Pep put a hand to her mouth, covering a small gasp

"Oh..." And broke into a smile, leaning into Tony's side for a hug. He put his arm round her, holding her close. Pepper felt warm next to his skin and she smelt equally as nice. Lavender.

"Been a long time but worth it I hope?" he asked

Pepper lent into his embrace, "For you Mr Stark, anything."

Pepper had not felt this close to Tony since the rooftop incident and the dancing. Despite what he had said about her feeling uncomfortable. The truth was, she didn't. Not in the slightest. Being that close to him made her feel like nothing else. Previous men in her life had always been a let down...some were awful in bed not knowing how to satisfy her, one was a pencil-dick pen pusher from SHEILD who treated her like crap and then there was Tony. Yes, sometimes he disappointed when he failed to show for his own companies meeting but it was him all over.

She looked into his divine chocolate eyes and said two words, "Kiss me."

Tony, stunned a bit...felt the arc reactor whirring a bit more in his chest. His heart beating out of sync. Had she really just said what he thought she had.

No more thinking.

Their lips locked. Tongues battling for pleasure from each other. Pepper's lips were soft and full against his own. She could feel his goatee brushing her cheek. It felt too good. Ms Potts always did prefer a man with a bit of facial hair. He was perfect.

Tony swung himself round and put his legs up on the sofa, wrapped around Pepper so she was sat between his thighs. Such muscular thighs. There goes the dirty thoughts again. He bought his hand up to cup her face close to his own. Tony broke the kiss to breathe...looking into her stunningly blue eyes and said, "Will that be all Ms Potts?"

She broke into a smile again, gazing down and their entwined limbs on the couch, "No Mr Stark," exhaling, "there is a lot more I would like to discuss."
