The Girl With Six Marks
The Battle of New York City
Chapter Two
Continued...
Their eyes locked for what seemed like hours. Alyanna was vaguely aware of her legs moving towards him, her eyes never leaving his. The mark on her shoulder began to throb the closer she got to him.
Tony himself couldn't believe it. His soulmate was none other than Sgt. Jones herself, the daughter of Dr. Arnold Jones and the war hero who single-handedly saved her platoon with no special powers and no fancy armor suit. His soul growled at the idea of his soulmate being in the line of danger, but it also soared at how proud it was of her. He watched her every move like a hawk as she slowly made it to the stairs and then took the stage. She was magnificent, exotic, and highly mesmerizing. He's seen pictures of her online, but not once did he pay close attention to the details of her face like he was now.
His soulmate had been right under his nose the whole time.
Alyanna couldn't believe what was happening. Her soulmate was right here in front of her, and it was Tony freaking Stark, billionaire, genius, and Iron Man. Alyanna walked across the stage, the world around her slowly evaporating as she grew closer to him.
"Sgt Jones," Tony whispered, barely audible.
"Alyanna," she muttered instinctively.
Tony held out his hand, slightly shaking at the anticipation of the first touch. Alyanna swallowed before reaching up and placing her hand into his. As soon as their fingers touched, a spark of electricity shot through both of their arms but not one dared to move. The feeling of total bliss washed over them, and their marks finally calmed, now buzzing with pleasure.
The crowd was silent as they watched the interaction of soulmates meeting for the first time. Whispers of what they were witnessing slowly began to spread across the room. Cameras began to flash, and the sudden rush of their surroundings brought the pair back to reality. Alyanna snapped her eyes to the audience, smiling with embarrassment as she accepted the plaque.
Tony couldn't help but feel a huge grin spread across his face at the sight of her. He turned to the crowd. "Ladies and gentleman, Sgt Jones, Alyanna, my soulmate."
The crowd erupted into a roar of awe as everyone rose to their feet. Alyanna couldn't believe he just announced that to everyone. The cameras flashed, and she knew this would be all over the media by the end of the night. She should feel embarrassed, but instead, pride-filled her at the thought of her soulmate wanting to show her off.
She looked back at Tony and saw him grinning madly. He offered his hand again, and she accepted eagerly. He led her off the stage and brought her towards a hall that leads away from the banquet. Dinner began, and conversation about what just happened flowed through the room.
As soon as they were out of the public eye, Tony turned to Alyanna and brought her into a tight embrace. He smelt her hair and nearly moaned at her scent. "23 years I have waited for you, and not a moment did I think you were going to be as beautiful and amazing as you are."
She blushed deeply, "I've known about you my whole life; not once did I think one of my soul mates was you."
Tony felt himself freeze at her words. "Wait? One of your soul mates? Do you have more than one?" His tone turned slightly jealous, but he kept it polite; he didn't want to scare his soulmate away.
Alyanna felt her heart race in her ears. She hoped the idea of her having more than one soulmate wouldn't be displeasing to him. "I...uh...I have 6, including you."
Tony's eyes bulged. Two or three was common...but six?
"You're telling me, I waited 23 years for my soulmate just to tell me I have to share her with five others?"
She smiled sheepishly, "If it makes you feel any better, you are the first one I've met."
Tony nodded. "That does make me feel better."
She laughs, turning to show him her right shoulder. "This one is yours." Tony reaches up and
gently runs a couple of fingers down the red circle with the yellow triangle. The feeling of her soulmate touching his mark sent shivers down her spine.
Tony pats his right breast. "Yours is right here, but you'll see this later once I take off all my clothes," he winked at her.
She giggles and blushes; never in her life had she ever felt like such a schoolgirl. "The world will know about this by morning."
Tony hums, his arms finding their way around his newly found soulmate once again. "I apologize for being so open; my initial instinct was to claim you in front of everyone."
Suddenly it dawned on her, "You are Iron Man."
He chuckled, "Why yes, I am. Impressed?"
"Don't you have enemies?"
He hummed once more.
"Now that you have a soulmate...wouldn't your enemies try to.."
"Fuck!" He suddenly barks, moving away from her. He palms his face. "You are so right. I am such a dumbass!"
She felt herself moving to him instinctively. "You are not a dumbass!"
He looks up at her, taking in every detail of her face. "Where are you currently living?"
"I live in a temporary apartment until my next assignment. I have the next three months off."
"How do you feel about moving in with me?"
She felt her mouth drop open. To stay in Stark Tower?!
"Think about it; you're safer with me than without. I can keep an eye on you, and I have the best security in all of the world."
She felt herself playfully glare at him. "I can take care of myself, ya know."
He looked at her plaque she still was holding. "Oh, Hunny, I know how competent you are. But it would make me feel better to have you here."
She thought about it for a moment. She did have three months of just relaxing and recovering.
What else was she to do? And now that the world will know by tomorrow that she is soulmates with Tony Stark, it would probably be safer to stay with him.
"Okay, I'll stay with you."
He fist-bumps the air before pulling her into him. "Thanks, babe," he whispers before bringing his face to her, capturing her lips with his.
They kiss for a moment, their whole body surging as they sealed their bond.
The rest of the banquet went smoothly. Tony joined her at the table she was originally sitting at, his arm around her chair, a display of claiming what was his. Many people approached them to congratulate them on their newly found bond, while others asked many questions.
James Rhodes slaps Tony on the back. "Congratulations, my man! You got yourself an amazing woman," he complimented Alyanna with a wink.
Tony felt his chest fill with pride. "I know Rhodey; she's one of a kind!" He boasts, rubbing her shoulder affectionately.
Alyanna beams in return, her cheeks flush from the attention.
Her phone suddenly went off. She pulls it out and looks down to see Annie calling her. She must have heard the news.
She looks up to Tony and smiles at him apologetically. "I'm going to step out for a minute," she tells him as she stands.
He rises with her, "Everything alright?"
She nods and gives him a smile before turning and heading for the restrooms. Tony watches after her, his eyes never leaving her frame until she disappeared.

Restroom
Alyanna answers her phone the moment she steps into the restroom. "Word sure spreads fast," she comments instead of saying hello.
There was a squeal on the other end. "Did I not tell you? Do you know what this means?!"
Alyanna walks to the mirror, glancing at her appearance. "You can finally stop harassing me into finding my soulmates?" She guesses.
She could practically see Annie rolling her eyes. "You still have five more! But who could compete with Iron Man? Wait, does this mean you're rich?"
It was Alyanna's turn to roll her eyes. "Firstly, none of my soulmates need to compete with each other; secondly, it's his money, not mine. But I did get a check for $250,000 donated in my name."
Annie hums on the other line. "Are you guys going to get married?"
"Annie!" She exclaims. "We just met; besides, I already told you that marriage isn't a possibility since I have six soulmates. It just wouldn't be fair."
"You're right, but hey, I shouldn't be keeping you anymore. Get back out there and show Mr. Stark what you got!"
Shaking her head, she hangs up the phone. Turning to exit the restroom, Alyanna almost bumps into another woman.
"Excuse me!" She says, looking up to see a tall, slender redhead woman. She was wearing a very formal grey dress; her ginger hair curled down her back. Her green eyes sparkle with mystery.
"Six soulmates, huh? That must be hard," the strange woman remarks, looking Alyanna up and down.
Alyanna felt uneasy around her. "Um, yeah. But I'll manage."
The woman's lips turn 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. Alyanna follows after her, but she caught the sight of Tony leaning against a pillar when she walks through the door.
"Mr. Stark? What are you doing?" She questions, her heart racing in her ears.
He pushes off the pillar and walks over to her, grabbing her hand. "Call me Tony, my dear, and I felt uneasiness from you. I wanted to see if you were alright."
Oh right, soulmate marks connect emotions after the first contact. She frowns, looking around for the strange woman. "There was a woman here who just walked out. She said something to me that was strange."
Tony waves his hand in a dismissive motion. "You will probably be getting a lot of hate from the fan base. I have my fan club where countless women approach me, claiming to be my soulmate. Now that I have one, they'll all be crushed."
Alyanna didn't seem convinced. That woman was up to something. But she nods anyway, and Tony escorts her back to their table.

After Dinner
Soon it was coming to an end, and people began to retire.
Tony grabs Alyanna's hand and leads her out of the room and down the hall to an elevator.
"JARVIS, my room, please," he orders. The elevator lit up and began to move.
Alyanna quirks an eyebrow. "JARVIS?"
"Oh right! Jarvis, meet Alyanna, she's my soulmate, and she will be staying with us from now on."
Suddenly a proper robotic voice responded. "Hello, Miss. Alyanna, I have read much about you, and I am pleased to have you here."
Alyanna's eyes widened in amazement. "It's nice to meet you," she said, unsure but smiles.
Suddenly, Tony was on her. Kissing her passionately before moving to her neck, Tony grips her waist tightly and pulls her close.
She felt her whole body heat up, and the feeling of her soul mate touching her sent waves of pleasure right down to her core. The elevators opened to reveal a fancy penthouse that was Tony's room.
He picks her up bridal style, causing her to laugh loudly and hold onto him. He brought her to the bed and laid her down gently. He began to take off his tux, tugging the jacket off along with the bow tie. He unbuttons his white shirt and throws the articles of clothing onto the ground. He tugs the white undershirt over his shoulders to reveal her soul mark. It was a cherry blossom branch with six flower blooms. She reaches up and traces each flower. "Six blooms make sense now," he said with a chuckle.
She giggles and reaches up to pull him to her. They shared another passionate kiss before he was helping her out of her dress.
His mouth drops open at the sight of her. He's had many women in his life, but none of them could compare to her. She was honest, natural, and just beautiful. Covering his body with hers, he found her lips once more as he gently grinds himself into her. She moans at the feeling, his warm chest plate pressed against her breast.
He reaches down and slides a finger down her core, making her purr and arch back. "Please," she whimpers, and he slips a finger deep into her tightness.
"Oh baby, you are so tight," he murmurs against her neck as he licks, bites, and kisses.
She felt herself building, but before she could, he was slipping her panties off and burying his face into her.
"Oh my god!" She screams as his tongue did wonders to her.
Tony was enjoying himself more than he would admit. His mate was squirming from being ravished by him, and he couldn't have loved it more. He pulls back and quickly discards his pants, his member fully erect and ready to complete the bond with his mate.
Positioning himself at her entrance, he presses forward and sinks deep into her. Groaning at the warmth and tightness around him, Tony bit his lip, and his muscles contracted. It took all of his self-control not to cum right then and there.
Alyanna, on the other hand, was seeing stars; never before had she felt this good. Sure she's had to sex a few times with a past stranger, but nothing compared to this. "Please, Tony, please move!" She begs him, moving her hips up to him.
He obeys, and slowly he pulls out before slamming back in deeply. He picks up the pace till he found a steady rhythm plowing into her.
"Fuck baby," he breathes, leaning down to press kisses all over her face, his hard cock pounding into her faster.
The young woman felt her toes curl as the pit in her stomach began to contract, signaling an orgasm about to erupt. Tony was on the same page as his balls began to pulse. A few more strokes, and he was emptying himself into her. He groans loudly, thrusting himself deep into her a few more times while they both ride out their orgasms.
Finally, he pulls out and falls next to her, both panting from the fantastic sex and completing the bond. "Oh god," he whispers, his hand coming up to pull her to him. "That was amazing."
She giggles, "I would have to agree."
They laid there in each other's arms as sleep began to creep upon them. And soon they were both joining the dream world together.
