*smut warning!*

(Yeah. Like you didn't see this one coming! LOL!)

Be of legal age or be gone! All others, happy reading! ;)

Pepper retrieved a set of towels and a bar of soap from a box in the bathroom, and a bottle of shampoo and conditioner from their toiletry bag that they'd had while travelling from California to Kansas. Tony had stripped down the rest of the way and turned on the shower to warm up the water. He was already inside the claw foot tub when she'd gathered everything together, but he'd left the shower curtain open for her to climb in when she was ready. When he saw her approach, he offered her his hand (as he was very cautious these days with her climbing up, down, or into anything), and she accepted, making the high step over the edge to join him. She closed the shower curtain behind her, and reached for the shampoo bottle. He took it from her, and motioned for her to turn around. "I've got this baby. You just relax and enjoy, okay?" he murmured. Pepper smiled at the welcome surprise, and turned her back to him again, happily readying herself to be pampered by her husband.

She felt him adjust the water stream so that it went past his shoulder and landed on her hair, dousing it. Then she heard Tony flip open the cap on the bottle and soon she felt his fingers start massaging the shampoo into her scalp. She instantly closed her eyes, melting under his gentle touch. She knew he liked to do this for her whenever possible, and she appreciated that he knew she could use the pampering. It had been an exhausting last few months, especially with the added energy spent being pregnant, and now that they were on the home stretch of being able to settle back down again, the fatigue of all of the chaos had started to seep into her bones. An ailment she knew a little hot water, and Tony's loving touch, could easily remedy.

He finished washing her hair, and gently tilted her head back to rinse out the shampoo. "How am I doing?" he asked softly.

Pepper moaned in approval. "It feels amazing," she cooed.

Tony smiled, knowing how much she enjoyed him doing this for her. He switched bottles, and next applied the conditioner, running his fingers through her hair to comb it in. Pepper moaned again, and he laid a gentle kiss on the top of her shoulder in acknowledgment. He then rinsed her hair again, and she turned around to face him, a very relaxed, dopey smile on her face. "Thank you," she purred.

"I'm sorry. Am I finished?" he teased, cocking an eyebrow at her.

Pepper looked at him curiously. He kept his eyes trained on hers as he reached past her to grab the bar of soap. "You might like this next part," he advised. "But it's really more for me."

"Hmmmm," Pepper hummed, watching him soap up his hands excessively.

"Yeah, see, this whole week? Travelling and all? There has been a lack of real, intimate, skin-to-skin contact between you and I, in my opinion. And I aim to break that trend right now," he purred, returning the soap to the dish.

Pepper smirked. "Is that so? And the fact that we've had sex at least once a day, every day, since we left LA doesn't count for anything in your book, huh?" she teased.

Tony frowned and shook his head. "As I said, not enough," he replied matter-of-fact. "Plus, that was road trip sex. And road trip sex, while fun? Isn't the same."

Pepper chuckled. "It's not?" she asked, playing along.

Tony shook his head. "No. See, here? Here we can swing from the rafters, and I can do my level best to make you whoop and holler in sheer blinding ecstasy, and beg me, nay, plead with me, for more. But on the road?" he teased.

Pepper inwardly rolled her eyes at his words. She watched his soapy hands start to massage her breasts, and then move down her rounded belly. He looked back up at her, and smirked, pumping his eyebrows. Pepper smiled coyly, biting her lip bashfully at how much she really was enjoying him moving his hands around her body. "On the road, you're liable to have the cops called on you if you make that kind of racket in a public place. Make sense?" he purred, cocking an eyebrow.

Pepper found it hard to form words in reply, as the soft sensuality of his touch was turning her brain to mush. "I...I think I do, yes," she mumbled.

Tony smirked, his eyes mischievous and sparkling, fully aware of the effects of what he was doing to her. He motioned for her to turn around, and she obeyed. Then he slid his hands around to her behind and squeezed it gently before slowly running them up her back, and down her arms, massaging as they went. He stopped for a moment. "Pep? What's this? Where'd you get a bruise like that?" he asked, tapping the bruised spot on her arm.

Pepper turned her head and looked at what he was asking about. A yellowish-purple bruise was on her left upper arm, though she hadn't noticed it until now. She shook her head and shrugged. "Collateral damage, I suppose," she replied. "Who knows where I got that from. Somewhere in the move, no doubt."

"Hmmmm," Tony said, frowning. He gently bent down and kissed the spot, and then returned back to massaging her. He moved his hands to her neck and shoulders. "Have I told you lately how spectacular your body is?" he asked.

Pepper smiled to herself at his sweet compliment. "Yes, but it always bares repeating. The self-image of the pregnant woman can be a fragile one," she cooed back, amazing herself that she could actually articulate that entire thought given her current degree of relaxation.

"Well," he said, carefully adjusting the water stream again to rinse off her soapy body. "Just know that it is, even more so now than the last time I said it. And," he purred, going back to massaging her back in the hot water. He leaned in and softly kissed her neck. "You get me hard just looking at you," he murmured softly in her ear.

Pepper turned around wrapped her arms around his neck. He gazed at her in loving adoration. "Tony Stark, are you saying all of this just to try get laid?" she asked coyly.

Tony grinned and looked at her intently. "Right now? I am. Kinda. Why? Is it working?" he joked. "Cuz' that would really up today's quota of physical contact if it did."

Pepper gazed at him with smoldering smoky arousal. "I see," she cooed. "In that case, why don't you finish your shower, and come in the bedroom to see for yourself if we can, um, up that quota?" she purred.

Tony whimpered, and Pepper kissed him slowly and sensually, her growing desire evident to him in her kiss. Then she slowly broke off, and bid him goodbye. He offered her his hand in assistance again, and she took it to climb back out of the tub, leaving him there, helplessly, in the shower. He watched her seductively dry herself off, her eyes wantonly flicking back and forth between her body, and her husband, who looked to her at that moment like she could push him over with the tip of her little finger if she wanted to.

She playfully tossed the towel to the side, and sauntered out of the bathroom, her hips in full swing, leaving Tony's mouth watering for more. As soon as she was out of sight, he shook his head back and forth, trying to collect his composure, and then hurriedly soaped up and rinsed off, before he clamored out of the tub to join her in the bedroom.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

Once he'd wrapped his towel around his waist, he scurried toward their bedroom door, pausing just outside to avoid Pepper knowing how urgently he'd ran down the hall in order to make a more dignified entrance. But he had the feeling she was on to him, judging by the knowing smile on her face when he appeared in the doorway. And he didn't have time to try to compose himself in order to make said dignified entrance,anyway, as the spectacle in front of him left him instantly speechless.

She was lying on her back on their bed, her feet propped up on the edge, and she had one hand fondling one of her breasts while other was between her legs and working her quickly moistening sex.

Tony swallowed hard. "Good Lord," he muttered.

"You made your shower quick, I see," she teased. She closed her eyes, and bit her lip, moaning at the sensation of her movements. Tony just watched her work, dumbstruck. His towel had fallen from around his waist to the floor, but he hadn't even noticed. His eyes were trained on her fingers, working vigorously, between her thighs.

Pepper cocked an eyebrow and smirked. "Well, are you just going to stand there and watch, or are you going to come join in?" she asked.

"I'm, uh...yeah...," he stammered, his brain threatening to self-destruct and start oozing out of his ears.

Pepper moaned again, and ran her hand up and down her body seductively. Her chest began to heave. "Mmmmmm," she hummed. She inhaled sharply through her teeth and arched her back. "Ohhhh! Tony! I'm gonna cum!" she moaned.

Tony suddenly came to at the sound of her words. "Oh, that's it," he said resolutely, marching into the bedroom, and kneeling down between her legs, on the floor. "If anybody's going to make you cum, it's going to be me," he resolved. He enveloped her sex with his mouth, lapping at it and sucking it voraciously. Pepper yelped, grabbing a fistful of his hair and pulling him into her harder.

She squirmed and writhed with pleasure as he worked her folds, quickly succumbing to the mind-numbing orgasmic pleasure that had been building in her body since she left the bathroom. He moaned with need against her skin, the vibration of his voice shooting off fireworks in her brain.

Once her orgasm began to wane, Tony sat up and motioned for her to scoot back on the bed so he could kneel in front of her. She obliged, and he carefully slid inside her soaked center, his manhood already at full attention. He groaned, loudly, as he entered her, and Pepper squeaked with the pleasure of him filling her up, and stroking her g-spot in the process.

He wrapped his forearms under her legs, and gripped the tops of her thighs, thrusting hard into her body, making her yelp and moan each time as he moved in and out of her. Pepper arched her back as her orgasm continued, and Tony grunted at the sensation of her walls tightening around his cock. He increased his pace, the sound of their damp skin making a soft slapping noise when it came together.

After several thrusts, Pepper raised up, and cupped the back of his neck, pulling him down to kiss his mouth hungrily. Tony propped himself up on his forearms when she did this, careful not to put any pressure on her belly. Pepper broke the kiss and looked at him lustfully. "Lie down," she ordered.

Tony nodded, and turned over onto his back, lying flat on the bed. Pepper swiftly swung a leg over his hips, and impaled herself on his shaft, which made Tony groan helplessly. Then she began to vigorously and thoroughly ride him, rolling her hips back and forth, squeezing her muscles around him at the top of every roll.

"Ohhhhhhh fuuuuucckkkk, Pepper!" he growled. "God, this is awesome!"

Pepper grinned slyly as she continued her movements. She ran her hands up and down her body. "Mmmmmm, ohhhh!" she moaned hoarsely.

Tony gripped her hips and gritted his teeth. "You're so damn sexy. Sexiest damn pregnant woman in the world," he groaned, running a hand over her baby bump.

Pepper moaned at his words. "Yeah? You like this?" she said, running her hand over her belly as well. "You like that I have your baby inside of me?" she cooed. "Does it turn you on?"

Tony's eyes lit up at the new level of dirty talk she'd just brought them to. "Oh, fuck yeah!" he cried, grinning at her in awe. "God, it's so hot!"

Pepper grinned at him proudly, and Tony sat up, scooting them both to the edge of the bed, gripping Pepper's hips as she continued to roll them against him. He kissed her soundly and cupped her face in his hand, as he deepened the kiss. A high-pitched, breathy moan escaped her lips, and Tony took that as a sign her pleasure was building again.

He moved his lips down her neck, and Pepper closed her eyes and rolled her head back as they moved in tandem. Her skin was starting to dampen with a slight glistening of sweat, and he raised his head back up to look into her eyes. "Your turn," he murmured. "Lie down, baby. Let's slow this down a little. We have all the time in the world, right?"

Pepper nodded, her chest heaving. She slid off his lap and laid down, watching him as he moved over the top of her onto all fours. He laid soft kisses down her arm, and her side, and she closed her eyes, enjoying the attention, laying a gentle hand on his shoulder as he moved down her body.

Next, he laid down behind her, spooning against her body, and sliding a hand down her front to her sex. He gently began to swirl his fingers around her folds. Pepper took a deep breath, sighing happily, and snuggled up against him further, laying her head on his opposite arm. She lifted her leg to bend at the knee and spread her legs for him so he could have better access, and then she laid her hand over the top of his, feeling his movements on her body.

Tony softly kissed the side of her head. "Feel good?" he murmured in her ear, as he continued to finger her.

Pepper smiled and moaned, her eyes closed. "Mmmmmmm," she said. "It feels wonderful," she replied dreamily.

They continued on like this for several minutes, Pepper letting herself drift into a pleasure-filed oblivion, and Tony just gazed at her, enamored by her naked beauty and sultry sensuality. After a time, Pepper opened her eyes and turned her head, sensing that he'd been staring at her. He gave her a loving smile, and lowered his head to kiss her mouth. He slowly removed his hand from her now very slicked center, and stroked his member a couple of times before bringing it between her legs, and entering her from behind, with her still lying on her side.

Pepper inhaled sharply and moaned as she closed her eyes. Tony frowned, concerned for a moment that this was uncomfortable for her. "This okay?" he asked. Pepper just nodded, keeping her eyes closed.

"I didn't hurt you, did I?" he asked softly.

"No," she murmured. "Keep going. It feels good."

Tony nodded and began to thrust up into her. Pepper lolled her head back down on his arm again, and moved with his movements. He laid his hand on her hip to hold her tightly to him, and she laid her hand over his.

"Mmmmmmm," she moaned happily.

"Yeah, baby," Tony replied. He closed his eyes, reveling in the feeling of being inside of her in this position. They panted and moaned together as they enjoyed the pleasure building in their bodies. And gradually, their moans became louder as their movements became deeper and the pace increased..

"Ohhhhhyeahhh," Tony grunted.

"Huh! Oh! Oh!" Pepper moaned, her voice high and breathy. She could feel her walls tighten around him, and her orgasm quickly gain momentum.

Tony shifted the hand on her hip back around to her folds, and, simultaneously began to swirl his fingers over her swelling pink knob, as he continued to thrust. Pepper inhaled sharply. "Oh!" she cried.

He smirked to himself, knowing this would add to her pleasure almost instantly. "I love to touch you, baby," he purred in her ear.

Pepper shivered in delight at his words, her breath catching in her chest, and she ran her hand up behind his head to pull him closer to her. Tony nipped and then kissed the top of her shoulder, which sent Pepper over the edge. She opened her eyes and gazed at him with smoky desire. He just returned the smolder, gazing intently at her as they made love.

She raised her head slightly to meet his lips with hers, instantly plunging her tongue into his mouth, as she began to cum. She moaned loudly, the sound muffled as they devoured each other with their kiss, biting, sucking and plunging their tongues in and out of each other's mouths voraciously.

Pepper broke off suddenly, and cried out in ecstasy. "Oh! God! Tony! Yes!" she yelled, shuddering with insurmountable orgasmic pleasure. She felt her body seize and Tony grunted loudly, feeling her squeeze him hard as a result.

"Fuuuuuuuckkkk!" he growled, feeling his own body seize as he let go inside of her. Together, for what seemed like an eternity, they were completely paralyzed by their double orgasm, locked together in their pleasure, blinded by the ecstasy they'd collectively brought on.

They gazed at each other, their chests panting, as they slowly began to thaw into a puddle of satiated, euphoric goo. Pepper slowly rolled over to face her husband, and they smiled dopily at each other. Tony pull her closer to him by laying a gentle hand on her hip and scooting her, and he dipped his head to kiss her deeply. Pepper cupped his cheek in return. When the kiss broke, Tony raised the hand at her hip to brush some of her dampened hair away from her forehead. They grinned at each other again, chuckling at what just happened.

"Not bad for our first time in our new digs, huh?" he asked.

Pepper smiled at him dreamily. "Spectacular," she replied.

"And top marks for the new level of dirty talk, by the way," he said. "That was..." he started, but found it difficult to find the words, so he just shook his head in disbelief.

Pepper giggled. "Liked that, did you?" she asked. Tony nodded emphatically, and she smiled proudly. "I thought you might. Isn't that like a benchmark for men in proving your manliness or something?" she asked, smirking.

"What? Knocking up your wife?" Tony asked, cocking an eyebrow. "Some might say that, yes," he joked.

"Please. You practically grew antlers just now," she teased back.

Tony spluttered and chuckled at her joke. She chuckled back, but soon her mirthful expression changed to one of concern. She inhaled sharply, and shot a hand to her stomach, jerking upright in bed. "Oooh!" she said, wincing.

Tony sat upright, and looked at her cautiously. "Whoa. Pepper?" he said, his voice urgent. "What's 'oooh'? What's wrong?" he asked.

She didn't respond right away. She just rubbed her belly, and continued to wince. Tony laid a hand on her stomach, and felt how rigid it was. "Jesus! You're rock hard! What's happening, Pep! Talk to me!" he begged.

She shook her head. "I don't know! I don't know! This has never happened before after we've had sex! It's almost like I'm...I'm...contracting or something!" she cried.

Tony's eyes went wide. "Contracting? As in, you're having contract-ions?" he asked. "Seriously?! Does this mean you're in labor?! What the hell, Pepper? What's happening?!" he said, in full-on panic now.

Pepper's eyes flicked from her hand on her stomach to his eyes. "I don't know!" she said again. "I don't know, but I'm scared, Tony! Did we do something wrong?"

"No," Tony said, shaking his head in defiance. "No, we couldn't have. Okay, okay. Calm down. Let's think about this. What could have caused this?"

"We...overdid it?" Pepper offered.

Tony frowned. "No, Pepper," he shot back. "There's no way. No way, okay? We've gone for a lot longer, and it's been a lot more...vigorous, shall we say? Since you got pregnant. So no. It can't be that," he finished resolutely.

Pepper took a few deep breaths, and rubbed her belly. "Okay," she said. "Okay, I think we're good. I think it's passing," she said.

Tony looked at her in confusion. "Wait, what? What do you mean, 'It's passing'? Is that what's supposed to happen? What the hell is going on?"he asked.

Pepper didn't answer him for a moment again, but he could tell she was finally able to relax again. "I don't know what that was, but it seems to have stopped," she said.

Tony just stared at her, totally confused.

"Here. Feel," she said, grabbing his hand so he could feel for himself that her belly had returned back to its usual softened, but expanded, state.

He then raised his hand of her stomach in defense, and looked at her apprehensively. "Okay, we're calling the doctor tomorrow. That was weird."

"Tony," Pepper said, a regretful lilt in her voice. "I hate to say it, but maybe we've reached the point in this pregnancy where we have to stop..."

"Oh, don't even think that," Tony objected, interrupting her, and frowning. "Seriously, Pepper? Already? Are you seriously telling me that, at the one time where you and I have practically identical libidos, we don't have to worry about birth control, and just you walking across the room with your pregnant waddle is enough to make me wanna..."

Pepper spluttered. "Excuse me?!" she exclaimed. "I do not waddle," she defended.

"Excuse me, Pep, but you do. And for your information, I find it to be hot as hell. So, as I was saying," he said firmly. "You're telling me that now that the stars have officially aligned, and our sex drives at are their freakin' peak, that I, we, have to put ourselves in a sexual drought for the next four months?!"

"It's not me that's telling you. It's him," she explained, pointing a finger toward her belly. "But, in all fairness, we don't even know for sure that that's the solution to this."

"Well, then we're definitely getting a second opinion. I'm not becoming celibate unless we're told we absolutely have to be," he said. "So good night, my love," he said, pecking her with a kiss on the forehead. "And you," he said, pointing a finger at his unborn son. "Take it easy in there, huh?" he said. He rolled over and pulled the covers up close.

Pepper snuggled up next to him, and threw a leg over his hip. He patted it affectionately. "I guess I need to take the affection where I can get it, now," he pouted. "What if tonight really was our last hurrah for a while?"

Pepper chuckled to herself at the tantrum he was throwing. "Smoking hot wife, can't have sex for four whole months, then God knows when it's gonna happen after that," she heard him grumble to himself.

Just then, the baby kicked hard a few times, and Tony felt it on his back. "Tell your son it's too little to late to be cute. So stop kicking me," he said, trying to sound serious.

Pepper just chuckled to herself. She smirked and rolled her eyes. "You'd think someone told you you were never going to walk again," she joked.

Tony huffed. "Might as well," he retorted.
