Pairings: Tony & Pepper, Thor & Tony, Pepper & Jane, Pepper & Thor & Tony (explicit), Steve & Loki
Thor is uncomfortable joining Tony and Pepper for lunch, but he does so in the hope that this will allow him to keep having sex with the billionaire.
The three stay in for lunch, ordering take out from one of the red-head's favorite places. The talk is very general at first. Tony fills Pepper in on some of the Avenger happenings as well as some Stark Industry R&D stuff. For her part, the CEO talks a bit about the conference, keeping strictly to the business aspects.
"And then Jane introduced herself to me at the hotel bar," Pepper concludes. She gives Tony a looks of sadness, guilt, pain.
"And then you slept with her. Yeah, you already told me," he assures her. There's a slight edge to his voice.
Thor looks at his empty plate.
"And you slept with Thor. And it must mean something that we both cheated…with members of the same sex. That's not normal…is it?"
"Probably not," Tony agrees. He smiles at her. "At least you know you're still the only woman for me."
"Oh, ha ha," Pepper replies. "And I guess you're still the only man for me."
"Well, did any men hit on you at the conference?" Tony asks. "And keep in mind that if they didn't, they're blind idiots." After she admits that a few did, the playboy smiles smugly and says, "See? I am the only man for you."
"Fine, you're the only man for me." Pepper leans in. "That doesn't change the fact that we both slept with someone else. Something is still wrong between us."
After several moments of silence, Thor finally speaks up. "When do you believe they began to become wrong?"
The sound of his voice makes Pepper want to throw up. The combination of hate and guilt and, ugh yes, attraction is too much for her jet-lagged body. "The Avengers Initiative. Manhattan. Your brother," she replies a bit harshly.
"Yes, my brother destroyed many things that day," Thor replies sadly, a tinge of guilt in his blue eyes.
Tony puts one hand over the god's and one hand over his girlfriend's. "Thor, Loki isn't your responsibility. Pepper, you're right. We have some things we need to work out. But I think part of the problem is that we haven't had sex in a while. And when we do, it's like we're just going through a routine. I don't feel connected to you like I used to."
The woman is staring at the hand holding Thor's. She knows Tony is right, but she'd prefer not to admit it. "So what you're saying is I don't satisfy you anymore."
"What I'm saying," he corrects, "is that we're taking each other for granted."
Pepper's blue eyes fly to Tony's face. She pulls her hand away. "I never take you for granted. Never. Not after thinking you were dead…twice!"
"Then what?" Tony demands, his hands flying into the air. "Because you sure as hell aren't catering to my every whim or even just having sex with me when I want. Do I have to remind you about the last time I tried…when you were too tired?"
"I was too tired! I had been in meetings all day."
"Oh, meetings! Right."
"And I had an early flight."
"An early flight, too. Well, that explains everything," he says sarcastically.
"Enough!" Thor shouts.
Tony and Pepper fall silent, their eyes glued to the face of the God of Thunder.
The blond continues more softly. "The two of you love each other, that much is plain. But you both sought new experiences." No one contradicts him. "Perhaps," and here Thor swallows. "Perhaps you did this to test your relationship, believing a partner of the same gender would less likely lead to separation." He thinks for a moment. "Or perhaps you simply wished for a reversal in roles."
"Reversal in roles?" Pepper asks.
Thor nods. "Tony was penetrated. You, I assume, penetrated Jane. A reversal of the man penetrating the woman. You wished to switch roles."
"Did you…penetrate Jane?" the billionaire asks. When she nods, all he says is, "Holy shit."
"And he…You were…on bottom?" After Tony nods, Pepper says nothing. She thought Thor was supposed to be stupid, but what he just said sounds more insightful than anything she was able to come up with on her own.
"You appear fatigued, Ms. Potts. Perhaps you should rest after your long journey. Tony, you should help her."
The billionaire guides Pepper to the bedroom. She lies on top of the bed grateful that it is tidy and closes her eyes. She listens as Tony leaves, closing the door behind him. Her head is a jumble of everything, and she's too tired to sleep. So Pepper lies there, eyes still closed, thinking about Jane and Thor and Tony and what she may have just learned about herself.

Thor and Tony are sitting on the couch, the brunette's feet resting on the blond's legs. They're watching the movie 300 on the big screen t.v.
Pepper walks out of the bedroom and notices what's playing. "Figures you would choose a homo-erotic blood-fest."
Tony quickly gets up. "Hey, feeling better?" He goes to her and kisses her cheek.
"Still tired," she says. Pepper takes the middle seat on the couch.
Thor gives her a small smile. "Shall I leave?"
"No." She waits for Tony to sit beside her and takes his hand. She looks at Thor. "I've actually been thinking about what you said before, about Tony and I wanting to switch places." She takes a breath. "I think you're right. I have absolutely no control over his life, so I want some control over the bedroom." Her hand gets a supportive squeeze.
"Excellent," Thor replies. "Then you should feel free to take charge from now on."
Her eyes turn to Tony, searching his brown eyes.
"Do not look to him for permission," Thor admonishes. "If you wish for control, you must take it."
"Well, yeah, sure," Pepper says.
The god rolls his blue eyes. "Midgardian, tell her you need her to command you."
Tony hesitates. "I…I…"
"Now!" Thor roars.
"I need you to command me," the playboy says immediately, his eyes lighting up.
The God of Thunder coos, "Better. See? Now you try."
Pepper turns to the Asgardian. "I…I don't know what I want him to do."
"It doesn't matter," the god assures the CEO. "Ask him for water or to rub your feet."
She turns to Tony. "Rub my feet."
"Okay," her boyfriend replies.
"No. Harsher. Sharper. More commanding."
"Rub my feet," the CEO says again with more force.
Tony gets down on the floor and takes her right foot. He begins to rub his thumbs along the bottoms.
"That's kinda cool," she says.
"Oh, it gets better," Thor assures her.
"I don't know," Pepper replies, enjoying the feel of Tony's hands on her foot. "This is pretty darned good."
The god offers. "Shall I rub your shoulders?"
Tony looks at Thor, surprised by the tenderness in his voice.
Pepper hesitates. She does feel tense, but that is also how her tryst with Jane started. "If you want."
"No," he replies gently. "You must command it one way or the other."
"Okay." She clears her throat. "Get me some wine," she commands.
The blond rises and bows. "Of course, my lady."
"I could get used to this."
"I can see that," Tony replies.
"Hush! I didn't say you could talk."
The billionaire smiles and bows his head.
"White or red, my lady?" asks a voice from the kitchen.
"Red." Pepper is soon handed a glass of red wine and asked if she would like anything else. "Rub my other foot," she commands and takes a drink.
The God of Thunder joins Tony on the floor and begins doing his duty.
The CEO sighs. She grabs the remote and changes the channel to one of those home decorating shows.
When Tony scowls, Thor gives a tiny shake of his head. Brown eyes roll. "You know, Pepper, Thor and I could do a lot more for you." He is completely ignored.
The wine glass is emptied sip by sip. She holds out the glass and tells Tony to put the glass in the sink. "In the sink," she repeats for emphasis. Once he is away, she whispers to Thor, "How am I doing?"
"Very well, my lady. And if you are too tired for sexual play, you can always command him to touch himself. With you watching and commanding his movements, no doubt he will be satisfied."
Tony is back before Pepper can ask him anything else. He goes back to rubbing her foot. She doesn't quite know what to do next. She looks to Thor for some help.
"Would you like me to leave, my lady?" the god asks.
"No. I want…Tony to go to the bedroom…and undress…and wait for us there."
The playboy smiles at the use of the word 'us'. He gets up and heads to the bedroom, taking off his shirt and dancing a little as he goes.
Pepper returns to their conversation. "So…command his movements?"
Thor smiles. "When and where he can touch. And, if I may suggest, call him something…not derogatory but…impersonal."
"Such as?"
"I used Midgardian. But as you are also Midgardian, that would not work so well. Perhaps an animal or a diminutive nickname."
"Like puppy maybe? Or Antonia? No. Iron Man…Iron Boy? Irony? Playboy? Moneybags? This is harder than I thought."
"Do not fret, Lady Potts. It will come to you."
Pepper sighs. "Okay, I guess we should get in there."
"Are you sure you wish me to join you?"
"No, I'm not, but…" She shrugs then leads the way to the bedroom.
When they enter, Tony is lying on his side, head propped up on his hand and wearing nothing but a smile. He pats the bed.
"Remember," Thor whispers in Pepper's ear, "he does not command you. You command him."
"Off the bed," she instructs.
Tony's smile falters, but he does as he's told. He walks up to the CEO and stands directly in front of her. "Now what?"
It feels as though the billionaire is challenging her. "On your knees." When he doesn't move, she slaps him. She repeats her words slowly, "On your knees." She slaps him again.
There is a reason he hasn't moved. Tony wants to push Pepper to exert more authority. There is a tension between them that hasn't been there in quite some time. It feels exciting.
"Now!" she shouts.
He gets down on his knees. The power she is exuding is intoxicating.
Pepper runs a hand through his hair. "Good boy."
"Well done, my lady," Thor smiles. She is almost as commanding as Sif, and he has always liked strong women.
"And you," Pepper turns to Thor. "Take off your shirt." She watches as the grey t-shirt comes off with a flourish. "On your knees with Tony." She almost hates to admit how much she's enjoying this. The CEO takes a step back and examines them. "Thor, on the bed on your back."
The God of Thunder lies on the bed, his washboard abs disappearing into his jeans. At Pepper's instruction, he is joined by the brunette.
"Tony, lick Thor's abs." She sits on the end of the bed and watches her order being carried out. Okay, that's kinda hot. "Thor, put your hand on Tony's head." Even better. It's pretty obvious the god is enjoying it, too. "Tony, forget the abs. Go to Blondie's pecs."
Thor smiles at the nickname. He smiles even wider when the warm, wet tongue brushes against his nipple. It begins to harden, as does his cock. He closes his eyes and sighs.
"Do you like that, Tony? Do you like tasting him?"
Tony moans his assent.
"Enough. Brownie, move up Blondie's body. Kiss his neck, his chin. Keep going up until you get to his lips."
Thor and Tony kiss as Pepper rubs her boyfriend's leg. They keep it chaste until the CEO tells them to use their tongues. And then it is a battle for male dominance.
The red-head watches, enthralled by the site of the two men kissing so passionately. She remembers when Tony used to kiss her like that. "Stop!"
Thor pushes Tony away. Their eyes don't leave each other.
"Kiss me, Brownie," Pepper commands.
Tony sits up, moves to the CEO, and kisses her lips. It's soft, sweet. He feels Thor's hand on his. The next kiss is harder, hotter.
"Thor, massage Brownie's shoulders." Pepper returns to kissing Tony, the passion increasing with each touch of their lips.
The god's hands begin to knead the billionaire's neck. Now it is his turn to watch Tony kiss another. And then Pepper's hand is on top of his, giving it a squeeze.
She directs the billionaire's lips to her neck. Pepper reaches out and pulls Thor in until his lips are on hers. Tony is squeezed between them, the heat from their bodies arousing him. He has one arm wrapped around the red head and one arm wrapped back around the blond.
The taste and feel of Thor is new and not in any way unpleasant. In fact, with the god's tongue in her mouth and the human's lips on her neck, the CEO is beginning to feel quite warm. Pepper pulls away and stands up. "Tony, help Thor take off his jeans," she says as she undresses herself.
Thor and Tony are both naked now. Pepper is in her underwear, a pink bra and thong. Her eyes sweep over them, noting their erections and the way they both look to her for the next command. "Hands and knees. Head to the wall."
The two men, Brownie and Blondie, do as their told.
Pepper opens the top right dresser drawer and pulls out one of Tony's leather belts. She holds the two ends in her hand to make a long loop. Tony is given the first spank.
"Thank you, ma'am. May I have another," he chants.
A surprised Thor looks at him just before the playboy is hit again.
"Thank you, ma'am. May I have another."
"Not until Thor has had a turn."
The belt stings though it is not particularly painful. Still, it makes the god feel like part of the threesome. He invokes Tony's chant. "Thank you, my lady. May I have another?" He's hit again. The sharp pain followed by the dull ache is nice, though not really his thing.
Pepper hits Tony again before dropping the belt. She climbs onto the bed and sits between them. She runs a hand down each of their backs and over their asses. Her hand squeezes the firm flesh. What does she want now? She wants Tony to beg.
"Blondie, on your back." Pepper watches as Thor lies down next to her. "Brownie, do you want to taste Blondie's dick?"
Brown eyes meet the woman's gaze. "Yes," he answers simply.
"How much?"
"Very."
"Enough to beg for it?"
Tony runs his eyes over Thor's body. The blond, skin taught against the bulging muscles, is completely erect. "Yes."
"Then beg."
He licks his lips. "Please may I taste Thor?"
"You'll have to do better than that."
"Please, Pepper. Please let me suck his dick."
The words alone are making her horny. Fuck this is good. "I don't believe you really want to."
"Damn it, Pepper! Please. Please let me suck his cock."
"One lick. Just one."
Tony crawls over her and hovers his mouth just below the blond's erection. He sticks out his tongue and licks up the shaft.
Thor growls his pleasure. He wants more. Were Pepper not here, he would demand it.
Pepper shifts. She brings her face close to Tony's, only Thor's dick separating them. She leans in and licks a stripe around the dick. She looks into the brown eyes and says, "Kiss me." Their lips and tongues meet around the god's cock.
A moan escapes Thor's throat as the couple kiss each other through his manhood. He wants to move his hips, wants one of those mouths to completely engulf him, but he knows neither of those would feel as achingly good as what they are currently doing.
"Keep kissing," Pepper instructs as she pulls off her thong. She gives Tony another wet kiss across Thor's cock and then begins kissing her way up the god's body. His muscles are so firm. They're bigger than Tony's. She doesn't like them better. They are just different. And then she's kissing the god, his arms wrapped around her waist. Pepper thrusts her pelvis close to Thor, and Tony, wise Tony, begins to lick her wet labia as he continues to work the god's cock.
Tony's hand moves down to his genitals. He can't help it. Having his tongue on Thor and Pepper, tasting them, makes his dick ache for attention. He begins to stroke himself. A moan escapes his lips and is felt by both of his partners.
"Good, Tony. Do that again," comes the breathless command.
He obeys, causing Thor and Pepper to moan into each other's mouth. She pulls away. "Time to switch places," she informs them as she slides down the bed. "Brownie, slide up. Blondie, turn around. Make sure your dick aligns with our mouths."
Tony takes Thor's place as Thor lies between them, his pelvis low enough for his cock to hang between them.
"Get to work, Blondie," Pepper commands.
The God of thunder licks and sucks each of them alternatively as warm mouths begin to tease him once more. He takes Tony's cock in his hand and begins to stroke it as his tongue concentrates on pleasuring the red-head. He hears her moan, feels it against his manhood. He returns the sound, and she begins to move her pelvis. There are hands on his ass pulling him down.
Tony takes Thor's cock into his mouth as Pepper nibbles on her boyfriend's earlobe. The billionaire hums, which causes the god to moan, which causes the CEO to gasp and groan.
The God of Thunder summons his power and gives a little lightning palm to Tony's dick. Then he shifts and concentrates it on Pepper's clit. She begins to writhe and moan. Holy crap that is incredible, better than a massaging shower head. It makes her whimper, something she knows she probably shouldn't do if she's dominant. But oh my God of Thunder she can't help it.
"Let go of him," Pepper hisses at Tony. As soon as it's free, she takes Thor's cock into her mouth and begins to suck and tease until he is bucking into her.
The billionaire unfastens her pink bra, coaxes her arm out of it. He runs his hand over the newly-freed breast before beginning to nibble on her nipple as his cock is being sucked to oblivion by the god's mouth. Soon the nibble turns to long runs of tongue and teeth.
Thor lets go of Tony. "I come!" He hears and feels Pepper's high-pitched hum. He takes the billionaire back into his mouth and increases the intensity of the lightning palm concentrated between the woman's legs.
Pepper begins to shudder uncontrollably, moaning and whining until Thor's thrusts shoot semen into her mouth. Her orgasm continues beyond his, continues to feel Tony grab her as his own body reaches its climax, thrusting into the god's mouth as his own continues licking the red-head's breasts.
They collapse against each other, lost in the post-orgasmic euphoria of their physical activity. Content in their silence and the relaxation they've earned, Thor quietly turns around and lies down so that his chest is against Pepper's back. He wraps his arm around her and Tony. The billionaire does the same, wrapping an arm around both his lovers. Pepper nestles between them, a smile on her lips as the god kisses the back of her neck.
Pepper sighs audibly. "Good boys." She pats their cheeks and closes her eyes. Within 30 seconds, she is fast asleep.

Loki sends his update to S.H.I.E.L.D. before lunch but after a few simple amusements.
There were the invisible shrimp in the curtain rods in every third floor of the north dormitory. That should smell pleasant by this evening.
There were the televisions in Security Station 2 that now only show The Dukes of Hazard and the ones in Security Station 3 that now only play The Andy Griffith Show.
And his favorite, there was the Christian Fellowship group whose men could suddenly see through the outer clothes of the women. Ah, the looks on their faces as they saw the varying colors and styles and fabrics of the underclothes. Some had to leave immediately, hands held firmly in front of their privates, wondering why their god would allow such temptation to be placed in front of them.
But now it is time for lunch.
Loki goes to the dining room of the Imperial Hydra. Doctor Doom is already there with the mustached leader. After the usual pleasantries, they take their seats.
Victor von Doom seems more self-satisfied than normal. Had the Trickster not been with the Captain a few hours before, he doubts he could remain courteous to the Latverian. But he did get to see his Captain, and he passed a rather nice time here, too. And so he is able to smile through it and sip his wine.
Mr. Brown does most of the talking, which is perfectly fine with Loki. He talks about the history of Hydra. The earliest part of that history includes Red Skull and Captain America. The God of Mischief only half listens until the story gets a bit more recent. Then he takes notes in his head of the most interesting points for his next report.
Halfway through the meal, Loki begins to feel rather sleepy. He finds this odd since he rested perfectly well both at Steve's apartment and in his quarters here. But he does feel sleepy. And he is starting to have a hard time concentrating, as though his brain is swimming in murky waters to get to each thought.
Doctor Doom is beginning to talk. "Our discussion last night about my failed attempt on Manhattan made me think. Did you know the island of Manhattan has over 8,000 security cameras? I thought it might be worthwhile to review the footage."
It takes longer than it should for the words to make sense. That is when Loki knows something is wrong. He tries to use magic to clear his system, but he can't seem to access it. "What did you do to me?"
Doom pretends not to hear. "And what do you think I found when I reviewed that footage? You…destroying my Doombots and helping Captain America."
"What did you do to me?" Loki barely has energy to speak. His breathing is labored. He knows he must fight this, but all his body wants to do is shut down.
"It's just a little concoction I've created." Doom opens a small box with a syringe. He takes the object full of a sickly yellow liquid and stands. He walks to stand behind the god. "A heavy sedative coupled with something that weakens your magic. I have people who dabble in magic, too, you see. That was just a small dose. This one is larger."
All Loki can think about is how angry and hurt Steve will be when he learns of this. "Are you going to kill me?"
"No. I'm going to take you to Latveria and wait for the Avengers to come rescue you."
"They won't. They despise me." So why did he agree to do this for them? He knows why – blond hair and blue eyes for whom he would do just about anything. Even so, how could he be so stupid?
"Perhaps. But Captain America owes you his life. His sense of honor will require him to go after you. And when he does, I'll be ready."
Loki can feel a sharp prick on his neck. "No." Loki doesn't want to believe this is happening.
"Oh, yes," Doom says with a smile. He presses down on the syringe's plunger. "Nighty-night."
Loki's world goes black.
A/N: Oh, I am glad this chapter is over. I had a few false starts with the smut that were very frustrating. In the end, I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Hope you are, too. If not, please let me know how it could be better.
And now for the story contribution thank you's:
Mikkeneko suggested the invisible shrimp in the curtain rods. The folks in the north dormitory hate you. ;)
Smile-Evily suggested having the women's clothes become invisible to men and helped me decide on the Pepper-Thor-Tony dynamic.
Thanks again to JayElem0 for suggesting this Loki storyline. More of that will be revealed in the next chapter or two. Hopefully my writing will do it justice.
KenrexKeybladeMaster had a similar suggestion for the start of this, having Loki be kidnapped with Steve finding out, which he will do soon.
And thanks to YOU, dearest reader, reviewer, follower, &/or favorite-r.
