Okay. So I know I missed my deadline on this one last week. (So sorry!) But last week was just ridiculous. So, here's my first effort in getting back on track, with any luck. Happy reading! :D
"Hey, Pep? Chinese okay?" I call out.
"Fine!" she replies from upstairs. "Order me chicken with snow peas, if they've got it!"
I start to scan the menu for her request, but I'm quickly distracted by her walking down the stairs in my favorite gray MIT t-shirt and nothing else.
"Whoa, momma," I mutter to myself, looking at her hungrily. She smiles slyly and walks over to me, taking my phone out of my hand and straddling my lap. I let her, helplessly. She turns the phone around to look at the menu, and I run my hands up her thighs. I cup her ass with both hands, realizing she's still without underwear. "This, uh, this choice in wardrobe is...it's," I stammer.
She smiles at me coyly. "I didn't think you'd mind me borrowing this," she says, knowingly.
I shake my head. "No, ma'am. And next to your garter-belt and stockings sans panties getup you had on earlier, this is the next best thing, I'd have to say. Well, besides being completely nude, of course."
She chuckles. "Somehow, eating hot food naked sounds more hazardous than sexy," she remarks.
I chuckle. "You may have a point there," I agree.
She thumbs through the menu, and I sit up, adjusting her in my lap so that I can flirtatiously nibble her neck. She squeals and giggles when I do this. "Tony! You're making this very difficult for me. Stop it!" she says, though she doesn't pull away.
I laugh at her, and continue. "Oh, don't play coy with me, Potts. You know you like it," I purr into her neck.
She quiets my mouth with a sensual kiss, and I smile. She looks at me when she breaks the kiss with a smirk. "Dinner first. Dessert last," she murmurs.
"Or dessert first while we wait for dinner. We'll have at least thirty minutes before it arrives, anyway," I argue.
Pepper giggles. "You just can't help yourself, can you?" she asks, shaking her head.
I smile cockily at her. "Oh, I am a full-on junkie, baby," I joke. "Cut me off and you just might kill me."
She laughs, and I growl as I yank her to me, ready to devour her. I kiss her and she moans into my mouth. I move my lips down her neck and lick and suck her skin hungrily.
"Tony?" she calls out, breathlessly.
"Pepper," I say back, my desire igniting.
"No, I mean, Tony!" she says. "We...need...to order," she says, clearly trying to keep her composure.
I chuckle at how we so easily get swept away with each other. I take a deep breath. "Yeah, you're right. Okay. Dinner. Right. Stop making out with Pepper and focus, Stark," I say to myself. Pepper laughs and I laugh at her laughing at me. "Beef lo mein," I say, grabbing the phone from her. "And..."
"Chicken with snow peas," she reminds me.
"Right," I say, entering everything in. "Plus..." I look at her questioningly. "Extra egg rolls?" I ask.
She nods. "Of course," she says.
"Of course," I repeat. I type in the address and a card number. Pepper leans down to playfully nibble my earlobe and I inhale sharply, trying to keep it together long enough to finish. "Hold on, baby, I'm almost...okay...and...done!" I say triumphantly, tossing the phone on the couch beside me.
Pepper nods eagerly. She slams her lips into mine, and I wrap her back up into my arms. "30 minutes?" she says, breathlessly, between kisses.
I nod. "30 minutes," I repeat, though my words are muffled as she continues to kiss me.
"Good," she says nodding.
I turn her so that I can lay her on her back across the couch. I position myself over the top of her, and crouch on my knees. She looks at me curiously as I break the kiss. "Remember what I said about dessert first?" I say, pumping my eyebrows suggestively. She nods and watches me intently as I lower myself down between her legs, so that I am eye level with her gorgeous pink sex. I swipe at her opening playfully with the tip of my tongue and she coos softly, arching her back in response. She spreads her legs wide for me and I run my tongue up and over her opening, and over her still slightly swollen folds like I'm licking an ice cream cone. She shivers in delight, and brings a hand down between her legs to rest on the back of my head as I begin to suck her clit, gently rolling it between my lips and flicking it with my tongue as I work.
"Oh my God! Yes, just like that!" she murmurs. I smile and repeat the pattern, just slightly increasing the pressure of my tongue and the strength of my sucking motion. Her clit responds by quickly swelling, and Pepper yelps in pleasure. I wrap my arms around her thighs so I can grip the tops of them, and pull myself farther into her body. She starts to grind her hips against my mouth, and her breathing becomes ragged. "Oh! God!" she pants. She reaches a hand up above her to grasp the armrest. Her legs are starting to tremble. I quickly increase my pace, the smell of her arousal seeping deep into my senses.
"Huh! Oh! Yes!" Pepper says, in a high-pitched breathy tone. Her chest starts heaving, and I tighten my grip on her thighs as she starts to buck and writhe. Her taste is heady and sweet now, and I lap at her and suck her voraciously, wanting every bit of her on my tongue. "Oh! Yeah! Tony! Yes! Tony! Oh! God! Oh! TONY!" she cries out, her hips bucking hard against my mouth. I let go of her legs and climb up on my hands and knees as she hooks a leg over the back of the couch and grinds against my face as I devour her body with nothing by my lips and tongue.
My brow breaks a sweat and I swipe at it hastily with the back of my hand, as I hear, and feel, her start to come down. I give her one more fervent suck (which makes her squeal and grin with delight) before I move up to kiss the little tuft of hair above her sex, and then work my way up her body to her mouth.
She giggles and sighs with a sound of deep satiation, and watches me, wrapping her arms around my neck as I lay gentle kisses all the way up her stomach, pushing my t-shirt she's wearing up over her breasts, pausing to gently suck each of her nipples before working up to her neck. She raises her head and hungrily kisses me, her tongue pushing its way into my mouth to taste her flavor on my tongue.
"Mmmmmmm," she moans, licking her lips as she breaks the kiss. I smile and she kisses me deeply again. "Mmmmmmm, yummy," she purrs.
"I would have to agree," I purr back at her, smirking. I gingerly lay down on top of her and wrap an arm around her while running the other hand down her body to cup her behind. I give it an affectionate little squeeze. "Am I mistaken, or was that some kind of record?" I ask cockily. "From start to finish, I don't believe I've made you come that quickly before."
She looks at me and purses her lips in thought. "You mean, as far as..."
"Eating you out?" I ask, still smirking. She blushes, and nods, grinning."Oh, I know I have in," I clear my throat, and cock an eyebrow at her. "Other categories? But have I ever brought you to these kinds of dizzying heights of ecstasy so fast before? With my face buried in your..."
"For the sake of argument, let's just say no. You haven't. Mmmmkay?" she insists, interrupting me. She cocks an eyebrow and smiles coyly.
I shrug. "Fair enough. It's another trophy for the mantle piece, anyway."
She giggles. "You know you're talented," she says. "That's never been a secret." She kisses me again, this time very tenderly. I moan, loving the feeling of her stroking my hair and delicately caressing my cheek with her thumb. We slowly break the kiss, and I peck her lips playfully before pulling away to look into her eyes. She smiles sweetly, and I smile back as I run my hand up and down her body. "And here I thought I'd be spending the evening alone," I say. "You had me fooled, Potts."
"Well, I thought our evening was doomed, too. But, your resourceful CEO found her way out of having to spent all night at her desk. So...," she says, shrugging. "Here I am. Making a much better use of my time," she says, smirking.
"Ahhh. Delegation. Oldest trick in the book," I say.
"Old, but effective," she replies.
"I should say so," I coo, brushing the tip of her nose with mine before kissing her tenderly again.
The door bell chimes, and both her eyebrows and mine shoot up. "Great, I'm starving," she says.
"Funny. Suddenly, I'm not," I say, gingerly backing off of her and standing up off the couch. "Maybe on account of the, uh, appetizer I just had?" I tease.
Pepper giggles, her cheeks blushing again, and I smile and wink at her before spinning around to answer the door.

I bring the food into the kitchen, and find Pepper sitting on the couch with one leg tucked underneath her, remote control in hand, scrolling through the movie channels. "What's on the docket, babe?" I ask, as I open each of the cartons.
"There are a few I'd like to see," she says, keeping her eyes on the guide.
I grab the chopsticks out of the bag, and stick a pair in each of the boxes. I gather them up in my hands, snag the bag of egg rolls and make my way into the living room. I glance up to read what she's landed on.
"Really?" I say, looking back at her curiously. "You'd consider watching Enter the Dragon?"
She looks at me with wide eyes. "What? I thought you liked Bruce Lee," she says.
"I do," I say. "You don't. At least you didn't. So what gives, Pep?" I say, setting down her chicken and snow peas in front of her on the coffee table.
"I don't know. Curiosity, I suppose," she says, swiping it up off the table and digging in hungrily with her chopsticks. I grab mine, and settle in next to her, putting my feet up on the coffee table. I slurp up a mouthful of lo mein and chew thoughtfully before speaking.
"So, let me get this straight," I say, looking at her. She eyes me out of the corner of her eye as she eats. "Not only do I have a girlfriend who's willing to make strip-tease house calls at ungodly hours, but she's also willing to watch kung fu movies with me?"
She smiles proudly. "Mmm hmm. I'd say you lucked out, Stark." she quips, grinning.
I grin widely. "Hell, yeah, I lucked out!" I admit. "Wow," I say, shaking my head in disbelief. "That's it. We can't ever break up. I can't do any better than you. That's been decided. You, on the other hand..."
She leans over and pecks my lips. "The feeling is mutual, Tony. I'm not going anywhere."
I look into her eyes deeply. "Promise?" I murmur hopefully.
She smiles softly. "Promise," she murmurs back.

It's about a hour later, and I am fully engrossed in the movie, when suddenly I realize that Pepper has fallen completely silent and is totally relaxed on my chest, fast asleep. I'm sitting with my legs up on the couch, and leaning against the armrest. She's on her side, curled up between my legs, with one hand over the arc, with her cheek resting on it. She's softly dozing, and I watch her body rise with each breath. I pull the blanket she grabbed for us to snuggle with at the beginning of the movie up around her shoulders more, and smooth her hair down her back. From what I can see, she's quite comfortable. And I have no interest in moving from this spot. I smile, wrapping my arms around her and squeezing her gently. She sighs softly in her sleep and snuggles into my chest even further. I plant a kiss on the top of her head, but not before inhaling slowly, savoring the scent of her hair. "I love you, Pep," I whisper. And smile again. Paradise. That's what this is. Just us, curled up together, on the couch, watching T.V. Who knew something so simple could be so fantastic?
