The Girl With Six Marks

The Devil Wears a Pencil Skirt

Chapter One

A Familiar Face

Tony Stark's Tower

Summer was inching closer and the usual cold city was slowly beginning to warm up. Alyanna walks into the almost finished Avengers Tower, noticing the new employees working mostly in the lower levels. As she walks through they all nod to her in greetings, carrying on with their duties.

She makes her way to the elevator, stepping inside and giving her access code to the Penthouse. It's Thursday morning and she decided to visit Tony a little earlier as a surprise. She had plans to steal him away for a quick trip to the beach, something they have been planning to do once the weather got nicer.

He wasn't expecting her till Friday and she hoped he wasn't too busy. When the elevator arrives at the penthouse, it slides open to reveal a huge mess. Papers were everywhere, blueprints were spread across the table and technology designs were pin up against the walls.

This is different, Alyanna thinks, her eyes scanning the room. Normally he kept all of his work in the laboratory. She walks around trying to find him, before hearing a noise coming from the bathroom in the bedroom.

The bedroom was a mess as well, the bed unmade, a mug of coffee on the side table and his clothes strung all over the place. He must clean before she arrives for she has never seen his place so messy. Shaking her head, she sneaks over and knocks on the bathroom door.

She hears Tony curse inside. "Who is it?"

"Who do you think," Alyanna responds with a giggle. She hears more shuffling and the door knob begins to jiggle.

The door opens to reveal Tony in his boxers, his hair sticking up, bags under his eyes, and he was holding a little piece of tissue over a spot on his cheek. He must have cut himself shaving.

"Hunny!" he says in a surprise tone. "What are you doing here?" He steps forward and brings her into a hug.

Alyanna wrinkles her nose at the lack of deodorant but smiles at him nonetheless. "I got off early, figure I could surprise you. The weather feels great outside. Let's go to the beach!"

He pulls back, his eyes wide and looking around the room. She notices his worry face and leans forward to kiss him. He pulls back after a few seconds, "Hold that thought, give me a few moments to shower and get ready. Wait here?" He asks her. She nods and giggles as he smiles at her and kisses her again. He goes back into the bathroom and she leaves to walk into the bedroom.

Minutes later, Tony comes into the bedroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. Alyanna looks him up and down, licking her lips at how sexy he looks. He gives her a smirk before walking over to his closet.

She raises an eyebrow at this. "That's weird," she comments outloud.

"What?" he asks, continuing to put his clothes on.

She taps her chin as she looks at him. "Normally, if you were to walk in here naked you would come to me first, not the closet."

She sees him freeze and her right shoulder heats up as she feels embarrassment coming from her mate.

Tony turns to give her an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry hun, I've been so busy lately. A water pipe somehow busted and flooded my office and pushed production back slightly. I have been running around here trying to clean everything up before you got here."

She frowns slightly, "That's no good. Did you loose any data?"

He shakes his head. "Thankfully all my important files are saved in a harddrive that I can access anywhere. Jarvis is fine too, the water just caused material damage more than technology."

She nods, "I can see why you look like you haven't slept. Our trip would be good for you."

She hears him sigh and walks over to her, fully dressed. He sits on the bed and his hand comes up to caress her face. "As much as I would love to go to the beach with you, I simply cannot leave until everything is back in order."

She scrunches her eyebrows at him. "Isn't that why you have employees?"

"I do, but there's not anyone I can trust to watch over the confidential stuff. I did just hire a new secretary," he tells her, laying back down onto the bed.

This was news to her. "Oh yeah? Who's the poor soul that gets to pick up your dry cleaning and coffee?" She teases.

He sticks her tongue out at her, reaching up and pulling her down on to him. "Well missy, it could have been you. But you had to go run off and be a secret agent," he mocks, tickling her sides.

She giggles and pushes him away. He continues, "And if you want to meet her, she'll be coming on by later today."

She nods and leans down to kiss him deeply. "I missed you," she whispers against his lips.

He smiles and places his hand behind her neck, his thumb rubbing gently across her skin. "I miss you always, my fiancee," he pokes, kissing her again.

She laughs and moves to straddle him. "You just love saying that don't you?"

He rubs her hips affectionately. "Almost as much as I'm gonna love calling you my wife."

She rolls her eyes and moves off of him. "Well, since you don't wanna go to the beach with me, I can see if anyone else would go with me."

Tony narrows his eyes and growls at her. "I told you I want to go, but this weekend is just not good."

She shrugs at him playfully, "It's suppose to rain next weekend, I'll just ask Steve." She sends him a playful smirks and he frowns at her. She could feel the jealousy flow in the room.

Tony was about to protest when he picked up the playful vibe emanating from his sexy soulmate.

His lips turn up into a smirk. "Oh you going to so get it!" He exclaims and Alyanna screams as she runs from the room, Tony hot on her trail.

He chases her around the room, Alyanna slightly faster with her small frame in dodging him. He finally caught her and he wraps her arms around her while she squeals in excitement.

They land on the couch, their lips meeting once more. They made out for a few seconds before they were interrupted by Jarvis.

"Sir, Ms. Potts is here."

Tony gives a huff in annoyance. "Well looks like it's time to meet the poor soul," Alyanna teases, moving off of Tony and straightening up her clothes and patting down her hair.

Tony hops up, placing a hand to the small of her back. "I guess it is," he smiles.

The elevator door opens, and Alyanna looks up and meets a pair familiar green eyes. The woman walks in, her long pale legs placed in red highheels. Her black pencil skirt hugged her curves and her undershirt was cut way to low to be professional. Her ginger hair was tied in a high bun and her face still held that turned up snotty face.

This was the same girl from the restroom the night of the banquet.

Flashback

"Excuse me!" She says, looking up to see a tall slender red headed women. She was wearing a very formal pants suit, her ginger hair tied up in a high bun. Her green eyes sparkles with mystery.

"Six mates huh? That must be hard," the strange women remarks, looking Alyanna up and down.

Alyanna felt herself feel uneasy around her. "Um, yeah. But I'll manage."

The woman's lips turns up into a smirk. "Well, better keep a close eye on them. Wouldn't want one of them to feel left out...and seek attention elsewhere."

Alyanna felt her whole body freeze. Who the hell did this woman think she is? "Excuse me?"

The woman winks at her before turning and walking out of the room.

End of Flashback

The woman seemed to remember too for her lips curled up into a smirk as she looks at Alyanna's shocked expression.

She walks forward and sticks out her hand. "Hello, I'm Pepper Potts. I am Tony's new secretary."
