Claire walked through her house, hurriedly grabbing her bags and gun as she made her way towards the door. While she was distracted a hand reached from seemingly out of nowhere and yanked her into a small alcove by the door. Dropping her bags in surprise, she yelped and pulled her fist back to strike the attacker but a set of lips caused her to falter. Tony grinned devilishly as he pulled away from his girlfriend.

"Tony! I thought you had left for work already." She scolded, perfectly comfortable wrapped up in his arms. Tony's grin widened teasingly.

"I did but then I changed my mind and turned right back around. I never could resist a beautiful woman." He hummed, being sure to latch his arms tightly around her waist to prevent her from escaping. Claire chuckled and shook her head at him, an amused grin on her face. Noticing that she wasn't getting mad about his little stunt he quickly swooped in and began leaving a trail of burning kisses down her neck. Claire sighed blissfully and tilted her head to grant him better access. She lifted her arms up to wrap around his neck and caught a glimpse of the time on her watch. Her eyes widened in alarm and she tried to jerk out of his grasp but Tony simply tightened his hold, continuing his ministrations.

"Tony.." she whined, gently pushing against his chest.

"Tony you're gonna be late to work." She reminded, her mind becoming fuzzy from the tingling left on her neck where his lips once were. Tony hummed thoughtfully and leaned in to peck her lips.

"Well…why don't I…just say I went….with you to get…coffee." He suggested, planting an affectionate kiss on her lips throughout. Claire leaned in to deepen their kiss before pulling away and staring at him admonishingly.

"Tony, it doesn't take 2 people to make the coffee run." She pointed out. Tony groaned but didn't give up. He pulled her in tighter against his chest, spinning her so that she was trapped between him and the wall.

"Well then I guess I'll be grabbing breakfast then." He shrugged, countering her protests. He swooped in and attacked her lips once more, getting high off the feeling. Claire giggled and pulled him in closer, running her fingers across the panes of his chest. A growl rose up in his chest as he pressed himself up against her even more. The action quickly reminded her of the problem at hand.

"Tony, we need to leave now so we aren't late." She insisted, running her fingers up and down his tie. Tony kissed her instead.

"A few minutes won't hurt. Besides I haven't finished my breakfast yet." He teased, once more moving his lips across her jaw and down her neck. Claire hummed in pleasure.

"Alright, it looks like we'll be running into traffic this morning." She sighed dramatically, completely surrendering herself to Tony. The man beamed in glee before scooping her off her feet in a bridal carry and setting her onto the couch, Claire giggling the whole time. Tony reached up to loosen his tie before descending upon her once more.
