Chapter 35

Tony

Tony finished packing his suitcase for the trip to Washington D.C. Tony was still in disbelief Mark got him in at the congressional dinner with Barbra Johnston. Tony attempted for years to be on her good side or at least get invited to the dinner. Mark took one night and got them four tickets to the dinner, originally 2 but got Barbra to agree to let Andrea and Tony come.

Tony put his suitcase to the side of the room. All four of them would be leaving tonight on a private jet Tony chartered. Tony heard a knock on his door. He opened it and saw Andrea with two bags. "All set for the trip?" She asked Tony.

"I just finished backing. I need to get us a hotel while we are there," Tony said.

"Oh didn't Mark tell you? Barbra threw in two rooms at this high-end hotel. Mark and I looked it up. Don't worry, it seems like something only you can afford and we can't," She said smiling.

Tony smiled at her and sat down on the bed. "I am glad it meets my standards, Tony Stark does not stay at a Motel 6," Tony said with a smug face.

Andrea rolled her eyes and sat next to Tony, she seemed to be deep in thought about something.

"Got something on your mind?" Tony asked.

"A few things," Andrea said. She looked at Tony. "Do you really think this Barbra lady can have some pull in the UN? Can she sway people to favor Mark and not have them against him so much?" Andrea asked.

Tony grabbed Andrea's hand, "I may have money and power, but Barbra knows many more influential people than I do overseas. She was a big time international lawyer and made many friends in high power. She knows more people than anyone else I know. If someone can get them on Mark's good side, she can. Besides, she seems to like Mark already with this dinner," Tony said.

Andrea nodded her head, "I hope you are right."

Andrea still seemed to be upset about something to Tony. Andrea was not someone how stayed quiet when something bothered her.

"What else is on your mind?" Tony asked.

Andrea moved some hair from her face with her hand before she spoke, "Did you mean what you said? On the red carpet, I mean. It seemed you were focused on the publicity when we saw the paper," Andrea said.

"About you being with me and announcing it to the world?" Tony asked.

"Yes," Andrea said. "You are Tony Stark, and I get it, you are always in the headlines, but I am just sure where you stand with me. I don't want to be another Stark lady like the newspaper reporter wrote."

Tony cupped Andrea's head in his hand and turned it to face him, "Do you really think I would do that?"

"If I didn't I wouldn't be asking you," Andrea responded not missing a beat in the conversation.

Tony sighed, "It is true my past shows I am not one to settle down with anyone. I have a failed marriage with Pepper and many exes."

"This is not building your case," Andrea said.

"But I didn't meet you, someone else who knows my world. You fight alongside us, and you can hack even my security system. The truth is I thought you were beautiful when I saw you the first time at S.H.I.E.L.D."

"I recall you saying something like that to Steve on that day," Andrea interrupted.

Tony turned to her, "But truth is you breaking into my system is what had me interested. Then when I saw the woman who did it I was hooked. We work in the lab and you can keep pace with my racing mind and follow my conversation. You argue back when I am wrong and I never had that. I feel you understand me outside of the tabloids and get the real Tony Stark. I have a name to live up to, but the part people don't see me living up to, you do. And you get it."

"And this means?" Andrea asked.

"Andrea, I fell in love with you. You are blunt, speak your mind, argue against me, and always make me laugh in the process. You make me feel I don't need to slow down my mind, I can just think how I normally do around you. The fact you are one sexy lady is icing on the cake," Tony said.

"So not jealous of me taking the headlines away from you?" Andrea asked.

Tony grabbed Andrea and kissed her deeply. He spoke when he pulled away, "I can't blame for focusing on you that night. You were stunning and I meant ever word of making you my girlfriend. I hope you can manage Tony Stark is all," Tony smile.

Andrea smiled at Tony, "Oh I can manage him, but there is one way I have not learned how Tony Stark can be."

"Oh?" Tony said raising an eyebrow, "And what way is that?"

Andrea pushed Tony to the bed, holding him down. "Which way do you think?" She asked. Tony took his cue and grabbed Andrea kissing her deeply. Tony rolled over so Andrea was against the bed. Andrea let Tony take control of the situation, she know Tony Stark always took charge.

Tony kissed Andrea, and began to explore her with his hands. Tony's hands know how to work, he always preferred to do the work on his own in the lab, and he was going to show Andrea how he know what to do. Tony could hear Andrea breath heavier as he worked his hands around her body.

Tony leaned up for a moment to remove his shirt then Andrea's. They continued to kiss as they explored each other's exposed skin. Tony was going to make his words true to Andrea by showing her what it would mean to be with Tony Stark. Tony moved from Andrea's mouth to exploring her neck, kissing as he found a new area he did not lay his lips. Tony allowed Andrea's sounds to guide him to the right areas.

Tony slowly loosened his pants and he began to remove Andrea's jeans. They both lay there naked, kissing each other. Tony stopped his kissing and looked at Andrea. He just watched her as she lay there and he brushed his hand against her face. "You are a beautiful woman," Tony said and slowly kissed Andrea to show his affection.

Andrea put her hands on Tony's back and began to scratch at his back as Tony increased the passion in his kiss. Tony left Andrea's lips and went to her neck. Tony looked up to Andrea's eyes and asked one question, "Ready?"

"I have been ready and hopefully no more explosions," Andrea said with a smile. Tony laughed as he kissed Andrea.

"Hopefully I will make you see fireworks though," Tony said raising an eyebrow.

"Shut up and come here" Andrea said pulling Tony closer for a kiss. Tony realized Andrea knew the only way to keep him quiet during sex was to keep his mouth occupied. Tony prepared himself to finally enter Andrea. Tony allowed Andrea's noises and breathing tell him what was best for her. Tony continued to run his hands over Andrea's body during the entire experience. He found himself lost in her lust as well. Tony looked to Andrea and say her pupils dilated from the lust between the two of them. Tony found himself lost in Andrea's eyes during the entire experience. He never felt any other woman like he did with Andrea. "I love you," Tony said to Andrea and kissed her deeply as they continue to make love.

Tony did not know how long they actually had sex, or how many times. All Tony remembers is Andrea came into his room with her packed bags and it was evening with the sun preparing to set.

"You are an amazing woman," Tony said to Andrea as they both lay there in the sweat of the love making.

Andrea turned over and rested on Tony's chest. She just smiled and rested on him.

"I guess we should clean up before our flight tonight," Tony said. Andrea just groaned at the thought to leave the bed. She was comfortable and Tony just brushed his hand through her hair. Tony noticed Andrea turn to her head and taking in a deep breath.

"What are you doing?" Tony asked.

"Remembering this, and remembering you," Andrea said.

"Remembering me?" Tony said, he was not going anywhere. He wondered what she meant.

"It is silly what I am remembering," Andrea said to Tony.

"Tell me," Tony said.

"Well, I am remembering your smell. It is very fitting for you. It took me a while to place where I have smelled it before," Andrea said.

Tony just smiled, "And where have you smelled it before?"

Andrea just hid her face, "In the lab. You smell of natural things, I think that is your cologne, but you also smell of motor oil and metal. I think it is from the Iron Man suit. It fits you."

Tony just laughed at the description. He would smell like Iron Man. She was surprised Andrea picked up on the smell. Tony leaned over and kissed Andrea. "Come on," Tony said standing up and taking Andrea with him, "Let's shower for our trip."

Tony and Andrea spent an hour in the shower, only spending about fifteen minutes actually cleaning up for the trip. Andrea and Tony dried themselves off and dressed for the trip. They each took their bags ready to meet Mark and Steve downstairs. Andrea kissed Tony before they left the room.

Tony led the way with Andrea holding his arm as they walked. When they reached the stairs they saw Mark and Steve at the bottom with their bags waiting. Steve looked to be patient waiting but Mark had his arms crossed and a serious look on his face. When Tony and Andrea got to the bottom of the stairs, Mark just glared at them.

"What? So we are adults we had sex. Don't be sour." Andrea said.

"That's all fine and dandy, but next time," Mark began to smile, "close the door."

"You fucking asshole!" Andrea shouted to Mark, "You didn't close it for us?!" Andrea slapped Mark as Mark began to laugh.

"I felt the mansion should know," Mark said. Tony just hid his blushing face, when Mark said the news. He did not remember closing the door to his room when Andrea entered and he did not remember opening it when they left. Tony looked over to Steve who blushed red, meaning it was true what Mark said.

"So I have what Steve says in his sleep and now that happened. My blackmail is building up quickly," Mark said as he grabbed his bag and walked to the door.

Andrea looked to Steve, "You need to get something on him!" Andrea said.

Steve grabbed his bag and looked at Andrea, "He closed the door when you two were kissing. He is just being an asshole, like you said." And Steve walked to Mark.

Andrea breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank god, and that bastard made us believe we put on a show for the mansion," Andrea said to Tony.

Tony walked to Andrea and grabbed one of her bags. "You did put on an unforgettable show, but not for the mansion, you did for me," and Tony kissed Andrea. "The limo is waiting, let's go."

Andrea smiled and picked up her other bag, "To Washington D.C.!" She said as they walked out the door.
