You know the rule! Be of legal age, or be gone! All others...;)
Happy Reading!
After a few more moments, the song came to an end, bringing the two lovebirds out of their reverie. The DJ came back on. "That was Judy Garland with 'Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas', and I truly hope all of you listeners in fact are having a merry one. At least a Merry Christmas Eve," he said.
"Pretty 'merry' so far, wouldn't ya' say, Potts?" Tony quipped, and Pepper raised her head to look at him. She chuckled, and nodded.
The DJ went on. "And for those in the more rural locations around the area, you might just get lucky enough to witness the spectacular light show of the Aurora Borealis tonight, otherwise known as the Northern Lights. If you're fortunate enough to be a spectator, I gotta say it's worth the watch," he said.
Tony's eyes lit up. "Wow. Really?! How cool is that?" he exclaimed with child-like wonder, making Pepper's heart flutter again with endearment at his innocent boyishness.
"Big fan?" she teased, with a knowing smile.
"Oh, man! Are you kidding? That's a bucket list item right there," he assured her.
"Well, you just might get lucky then," Pepper cooed, her voice laden with innuendo. "In more ways than one, maybe?"
Tony gave her mock look of surprise. "Oh, how you tease me, Potts," he then cooed back, the corners of his mouth quirking up eagerly. Then he jutted a thumb toward the bed he'd made for them in front of the fireplace. "That was made just for sleeping, though. I swear. No monkey business," he deadpanned, making her laugh out loud again.
Then she gave him a coy smile, and smoothed her hands up and down his chest. "Well, I say we...start by going outside, and uh...seeing if luck is in your favor, hmmm?" she purred.
Tony gave her a sly grin, and nodded once in the affirmative. "Sounds awesome. Lemme just grab something to wrap us up in," he said.
Pepper waited as he broke away from her, and jogged down the hall. Moment's later, he returned with a heavy quilt that she figured must've been from off the other bed in the other bedroom. "This oughta do nicely, huh?" he said, holding it up for her perusal. She nodded approvingly and he smiled, rushing to rejoin her again. "Okay, let's go," he said excitedly.
She opened the front door, and peered out into the darkness, making sure there were no glowing feline eyes in the near distance looking back at them. She didn't see any, so she proceeded to walk out, but Tony stopped her.
"Wait. Listen," he whispered, gently grasping her arm to halt her. Pepper froze and they stayed absolutely still for a few moments, listening for any tell-tale rustling in the reeds around the cabin, or worse yet, growling sounds.
Tony leaned further in, perking his ears to what laid beyond the darkness, and Pepper watched him intently, praying he hadn't heard anything she hadn't. But the only thing filling their ears was the soft trickling sound of the river flowing. Otherwise, and much to their relief, the night was completely still.
"I think we're in the clear," he finally whispered, and Pepper nodded and smiled. And he smiled back, but his expression changed to one of warning. "Best to be as quiet as we can, though. We don't want to attract attention," he murmured softly.
Pepper nodded again in agreement. "Right," she murmured back.
Together, then, they both stepped out on to the porch, and shuffled softly to the edge where they could look up at the sky. The night was clear, but it glittered and sparkled with the tiny icy crystals formed from the humidity in the air. Pepper shivered and huffed from the sudden change in temperature, and Tony quickly wrapped the quilt around the back of him, and then pulled her into his arms from behind, so as to wrap them both up into it tightly. Pepper snuggled into his embrace, instantly feeling his warmth around her body, and letting out a happy sigh. Tony turned his head to nuzzle her hair before placing a loving kiss to the side of her head. "Better?" he softly whispered to her.
"Yes. Much. Thank you," she whispered back, and Tony smiled. He watched as she shifted her eyes upwards to the sky, and he did the same.
"Wow," she gasped, after a moment. "It's been too long since I've seen this many stars. Just look at them all! Aren't they beautiful?"
Tony brought his gaze back to her, and admired how in awe she was at this moment before he responded. "They sure are, Pep," he cooed lovingly.
Pepper flicked her eyes back to his and gave him a soft smile. Then they affectionately touched their foreheads to one another's before returning their eyes to the night sky.
They remained silent for several moments, their collective breath creating puffs of steam that billowed out into the air and disappeared above their heads. Every once in a while, Tony would place a gentle kiss on her temple, or just below her ear, or to her cheek, and Pepper would smile, the affection creating happy little flutters in her stomach every time.
"It's so peaceful here, isn't it?" she asked softly. "I can only imagine how nice it is in the summer."
"Then we'll have to come back," Tony remarked, half-jokingly. They both chuckled, but Pepper secretly knew that she'd be thrilled to spend time with Tony in a place like this during the summer season. Images of them lying together in the tall grass along the river bank, listening to the wind in the trees and watching the clouds roll by- all while reveling in their romance, and maybe even making love in the afternoon sunshine filled her mind with a giddy excitement for she and Tony's future. Let's hope we get the chance to fulfill the dream, she wished to herself. She was still enjoying the thought a short time later when something caught her eye in the sky, and she gasped.
"Oh! Tony, look!" she said, as suddenly an ethereal bluish-green ripple appeared in the distance, dancing on the distant horizon in phantasmic splendor.
"Whoa," Tony murmured in amazement.
Pepper turned her gaze to him, watching and admiring his sudden mesmerization. She smiled, and turned her eyes back to the wonder taking place in the sky above them. After a moment, and without even realizing it, Pepper laid her hand on Tony's chest, almost directly over his heart. He noticed this, and gently grasped it, bringing it to his lips to place a kiss in her palm before returning it to its original place, and holding it in his hand protectively, all while keeping his eyes fixed on the continuing ballet of light in the sky. "I'm so glad we could do this. Together, you know?" he said softly.
Pepper only then realized that he'd grasped her hand at his chest, and she'd vaguely felt him kiss her palm. She'd been so intent on watching the sky that this hadn't registered in her mind until now. But she smiled to herself at this tender gesture, and then she turned her eyes back to him. Tony took his eyes off the lights to look at his girlfriend, and he smiled lovingly back at her.
"So am I," Pepper replied, before she leaned into kiss him. Tony kissed her back, and moaned happily, giving her a tight squeeze to hold her close as he deepened the kiss. After a few moments, it came to a stop, but not before he finished it with a soft peck to Pepper's lips. Then he tenderly brushed the tip of her nose with his. They smiled at each other, and then turned their heads back toward the sky to take in the rest of the show. They remained like this for several more minutes, observing in silence until the aurora they'd been watching had started to fade from a brilliant blue green to a faint blue before totally disappearing from view.
"That was amazing," Tony cooed, his voice dreamy with wonderment.
Pepper smiled at this, and nodded. "It was," she cooed back in agreement. "And thank you for keeping me plenty warm while we watched it," she added with a sweet smile.
Tony smiled softly back. "Anytime, baby. The pleasure was all mine," he replied, and leaned in for another kiss. Pepper gladly obliged and met her lips with his, noticing now the prickly feeling of the hair on his upper lip press against her chilled skin. When the kiss broke, he raised his head, and gave her an intently curious look. "Hey, Pep?" he said.
"Hmmm?" Pepper answered, her voice soft and lilting.
"Since the show's officially over out here, what say you to...going back inside where it's warm, and cozy, and..." he purred. "...Christmas-y as all get out," he finished by saying, matter of fact, but still keeping his voice quiet. Pepper giggled, and he smiled at making her laugh and went on. "And we...finish our evening by...climbing under those covers and..."
But Pepper was already way ahead of this request. She nodded emphatically, "Yes," she answered, almost breathlessly. "I'd like that very much."
Tony smiled widely and moved to kiss her again swiftly. Pepper let out a breathy moan, and cupped his cheeks, deepening the kiss. She felt both of Tony give her another tight squeeze in his arms, and their kiss picked up momentum. But he soon broke it, his chest heaving. "Okay. I move we shift things inside on the double, actually. My tootsies are verging on becoming solid ice blocks," he informed her.
Pepper gasped, her eyes wide. "Oh! Yes! I'm so sorry! Oh, your poor feet!" she cooed, realizing they were both in socked feet, so that made things cold enough, but that Tony's had been subjected to the cold far more than hers had that day, so his resistance to it had been very much weakened.
"Yeah, I know it's not the sexiest thing in the world to say at the moment, but that's where I'm at," Tony confessed, wincing regretfully.
Pepper nodded, and hurriedly stepped out of his embrace. She moved to open the door to go inside, but Tony grabbed it instead. "Even with frozen feet, chivalry is not dead, Potts. After you," he said, as he motioned to usher her inside. She smiled and nodded in appreciation as she walked past him, and he followed her.
Once they were safely back in the comfort of the cabin, Tony moved to lock the door, and then he hurriedly joined Pepper, who had come to stand in front of the fireplace, with her back to him, gazing at the dancing flames. The room was all a-glow with the flickering illumination of the lanterns and candles that Tony had lit earlier, and it gave the space a positively enchanting and romantic warmth, making it a perfect sanctuary for the two of them to hide away from the cold, and enjoy their holiday eve together.
Tony dropped the quilt they'd been using on the couch, and then moved to wrap his arms around her waist as he came up from behind. She smiled and tilted her head back against his shoulder, reveling in his embrace, and letting out a contented little moan. He laid a lingering kiss in the crook of her neck.
"This night has been..." she started to say. He saw a wide, dreamy smile spread over her lips, before she began speaking again. "Perfect," she finally purred. "Well, so far, anyway," she added. She gave him a knowing sidelong look, and a sly smile. He pumped his eyebrows and smiled back at her, the both of them acknowledging what was yet to come.
"And it'll only get better," he purred back. "I promise."
Pepper smiled to herself at this, and then turned around to face him. "How are your feet doing?" she asked.
He smiled. "Better now that I'm inside. But frozen feet or not, I wouldn't trade a single moment we've spent together. For anything," he told her.
"Neither would I," she agreed with a smile. "This has certainly been a Christmas to remember."
Tony smiled, and nodded. Then he rewrapped his arms around her waist. "I love you more than anything in this world," he told her.
Pepper felt those butterflies flutter in her stomach again, and she smiled. "I love you, too,Tony," she replied softly. "I can't imagine being with anyone else."
Tony smiled at her sweet words. He wanted to reply, but stopped, as a sudden nervousness invaded his body, forcing him to halt. He'd fantasized for so long about what it would be like to make love to Pepper Potts. And now that the moment was fast approaching, he realized how important it was, more than ever, to take his time, and to do this right. So he took a deep breath, squared his shoulders, gazed intently into her eyes, and started again, feel now like he'd never been more sure of what he was about to say than at this moment. "Pepper, in all seriousness, it's no secret that I want to make love to you," he finally said, his voice humble, and his words simple and genuine. "But only if you truly want me to," he assured her. Then he shrugged, and gave her a crooked smile. "I guess what I'm saying is that you can still back out. I want you to be absolutely sure that this is what you want for us. No pressure," he said, moving to hold his hands out to his sides in a gesture of surrender before rewrapping his arms around her waist. Then he scrunched up his face in mock concentration, and teeter tottered his head from side to side. "So, if it's a 'no', we could play cards or something, to pass the time instead, I guess. Or Tic Tac Toe. Charades. Hide and seek, even. I mean...I can't promise that I won't at least try to sneak a kiss or ten when I find you, but I understand if you're unsure about us actually getting down..."
Pepper giggled at him trying to ease them into the moment by lightening the mood, and he grinned lovingly at her. "Tony?" she cooed.
"Hmm? Yes, dear?" he answered, trying to appear he was unaware that she wasn't giving his offer anymore thought.
Pepper smoothed both of her hands over his chest. "Shut up and let's get to the 'getting down' already, shall we?" she purred wantonly.
Tony nodded once in affirmation, and gave her an eager grin. "You got it," he muttered before he swiftly kissed her, both of them moaning simultaneously from their instantly ignited passion.
Tony cupped her cheek with one hand, and smoothed the other one down the length of her torso, before his hand came to rest on her behind. He gave it a hearty squeeze and Pepper instinctively hiked her leg up his thigh. Her hands ran up his chest and around his neck, her fingers threading through his hair as they made out.
Tony moaned in response and pulled his lips from hers to duck his head, placing soft, tongue-flicking kisses on her neck. Pepper closed her eyes and dropped her head back and to the side, giving him full access. She let out a soft giggle, and a moan, as he raised up to gently nibble her ear lobe. "God, I want you. You're so beautiful," he breathed to her, before he kissed her hard again. And Pepper moaned again in response, his words sending a shiver of delight coursing though her body.
She raised her hands to the bottom hem of the thermal underwear shirt he had on, and slid it up his torso, hinting to him that she wanted him to take it off. Tony took the hint and paused long enough to break the kiss, and pull it up and over his head, his outer flannel buttoned-down shirt coming with. He flung them both off to the side, and Pepper cooed in approval.
Tony smirked at her and pumped his eyebrows once at her. "Your turn, now, baby," he purred. Pepper nodded and bit her lip coyly, keeping her eyes trained on his while crossing her arms in front of her body and slipping her shirt up and over her head.
Tony licked his lips eagerly as he watched her bared upper body become awash in the warm orangey glow coming from the fireplace. Pepper saw this and giggled coyly before hooking her fingers in her waist band, bending in half at the waist to work her pants down her long legs, to her ankles, and finally stepping out of them and kicking them to the side, Tony's eyes following her every move.
Once she was completely nude, Tony let out a surrendering whimper, admiring her beauty in the firelight. He bit his lip, shaking his head in disbelief. "Come here, gorgeous," he purred, in his low rumbly baritone. "How'd I get so lucky?" Pepper gave him a bashful smile, and stepped closer to him. He grunted softly in approval, and pulled her back into his arms, ducking his head to eagerly kiss her lips. His flicked his tongue playfully into her mouth, and she moaned, wrapping her arms around him as the kiss progressed.
Soon, Pepper's hands ran down his body to the front of his pants, where she smoothed her fingers over his growing bulge. This, too, made Tony whimper, and Pepper smiled to herself at his reaction. She softly broke the kiss, and leaned in to murmur in his ear. "Are you gonna give this to me? Or do I have to beg?" she breathed.
"Huh!" Tony squeaked out breathlessly, and Pepper smiled pulling back to look at him. Tony's chest was heaving, and his eyes were burning with desire. "I'll give you whatever you want, honey," he replied.
Pepper grinned and leaned back in to plant a kiss on his lips as she slipped one of her hands under the waist band of the sweats he was wearing and cupped his balls, giving them a very tender and affectionate squeeze (and making Tony's knees nearly give out in the process) before she grasped his growing member, stroking him softly from base to tip a couple of times. She eased the kiss to a stop, and Tony looked dazed by the sensation her actions were creating. She smiled at him, and then gave him a flirty, doe-eyed, look. "Then what I want is for you to put this," she began by saying, her voice soft and lilting. "Inside of me," she requested, trying to sound matter of fact.
"Yeah, baby. You got it," Tony exhaled as he swiftly kissed her again, his hands cupping her face. His tongue delved deep into her mouth and they voraciously made out for several more moments. Pepper continued to stroke him, feeling his manhood now becoming rock hard with every movement. Then she slipped her hands up toward his waist band again, and hooked her fingers in it, sliding his pants over his hips, and sinking to the ground with them as they pooled around his ankles. She looked up at Tony as she did this and they kept their eyes fixed on each other as she then stood up on her knees in front of him. She then wrapped her hand around his shaft and slowly took him into her mouth, all the way to the base, while still maintaining eye contact the entire time.
Tony tried to hold her gaze, but he couldn't help it. He inhaled sharply through his teeth as soon as he was fully sheathed by her mouth, and then he let out a soft, steady moan, dropping his head back and closing his eyes in ecstasy. He felt her start to move back and forth from his base to the tip, her hand following her mouth's movements by twisting her hand while stroking him- the motion sending shivers up and down his spine with each pass. He re-opened his eyes after a few moments, and raised his head to watch her again. Then he reached down and gathered her hair into a messy ponytail on the back of her head as she worked. She flicked her eyes up to his again, and gave him an appreciative smile. He smiled lovingly back, and nodded. "Feels amazing, baby," he quietly murmured.
Pepper moaned, and then removed her hand from his shaft. She then deep-throated his entire length once more, and placed her palms flat on the sides of his hips. Then she began making a quicker bobbing motion, so as to engulf his entire length over and over again in her mouth, sucking hard as she did this. Tony let out a breathy grunt, his knees nearly buckling again from the sensation, causing him to hunch over slightly as a counter-action in order to keep himself upright. "Ho-ly fuck, Pepper," he huffed.
She continued, and he could feel the pre-cursory orgasmic tension start to rise in his core. But the night was far too young for him to be ascending this quickly. So he reached down, and pinched the skin on the underside of his shaft, just above his balls. Pepper, of course, immediately noticed this, and she stopped what she was doing. She frowned and then look up at him, giving him a questioning look. "What? What's wrong?" she asked.
Tony gulped and shook his head, still holding her hair back from her face in a pile in his hand. "Nothing, Pep. It just feels too good," he explained. "The night is young. And you know my rule. Ladies come first."
Pepper gave him a wry smile. "Even if the lady is quite enjoying what she's doing at the present moment?" she asked, with sly smirk.
Tony smiled. "There will be plenty of time for that, I promise," he replied. "And I love that you're enjoying yourself. But, honey? I want you to be the center of attention tonight. Because I have full intention of making you cum multiple times." He huffed out a breath, still trying to temper his building orgasm. "I, on the other hand, am a foregone conclusion. I'm gonna pop regardless. So don't worry about me."
"Ah, okay," Pepper replied in understanding. She smiled to herself, and climbed up off the floor to stand in front of him. "You do remember that I asked for you to put that inside me, correct?" she asked, nodding downward toward his erection.
Tony smiled and nodded. "Very vividly, yes," he answered.
Pepper smiled. "Good," she said. "Because all I was doing was just making sure it was good and ready for when that time came," she informed him, giving him a wry smirk.
Tony's eyebrows raised, and he nodded. "Fair enough," he said. "You're just too good at prepping him. That's all I'm saying."
Pepper smiled triumphantly and then slowly stepped to him, and leaned in for a sultry kiss. Tony, who had been still pinching the skin below his member during this time, let it go and allowed it to bob back up to attention between Pepper's legs as he kissed her back. She let out a soft squeal at the pleasurably sensation that caused, and hiked her leg back up his thigh, allowing it to have even better access to her sex. Tony then moved to tease her opening with his tip, feeling her moisture gather on it as a result, as they continued kissing.
"Mmmmm. Oh yeah. I want it. Give it to me," Pepper muttered, in between each kiss. Tony moaned back, and then reached for the back of her other leg, signaling he wanted to her wrap that around him as well.
"Come here, Pep. I got you. Let me lay you down," he instructed. And Pepper did as commanded. Tony hoisted her into his arms, supporting her behind with one arm while he sank to his knees, their lips still fervently locked, and then he moved to lay her gently on the bed on her back. Once this was accomplished, Pepper fully spread her legs, and Tony moved to position himself between them, simultaneously moving his lips from her mouth to her neck and chest. She inhaled deeply, and closed her eyes, letting herself sink into the pleasure developing in her body. She could feel his erection pressing against her center again, and a giddy excitement filled her. In a matter of moments, she and Tony would become one. He'd be inside her, officially making love to her as she'd only imagined him doing to this point. And she could hardly wait to see if what she'd fantasized about would even come close to reality.
Tony brought his gaze back up to hers, and their eyes became fixed on one another's, the both of them understanding the significance of what was about to happen. Tony searched her face one last time for any sense of hesitation, but Pepper just smiled softly and gave him a little encouraging nod. He smiled softly back, and then reached down between his legs, and began to deliberately rub his tip against her moistened folds even more now. Pepper gasped and closed her eyes, giving him a very approving moan. "You're soaking wet, baby. You ready? You certainly feel ready," he murmured.
Pepper smiled and nodded, and opened her eyes to look at him. "Oh yes," she answered breathlessly, her chest heaving.
Tony smiled back. "So here goes nothin', Potts," he joked, and Pepper softly chuckled. Then she felt Tony slowly slide into her, filling her up completely to the point of actually putting a tiny bit of strain on her opening. She inhaled deeply when she felt this, and Tony's eyes went wide. He stopped his motions and looked at her apprehensively.
"You okay? Too much? I can slow down if you...," he started to assure her.
But Pepper shook her head. "No, it's fine. I'm okay. It's just..." she began, taking a moment to exhale. "It's been a while," she admitted.
Tony nodded. "Got it. I'll work into this. We'll take our time," he promised. Then he smirked. "In the meantime, just so you know? You feel fucking amazing."
Pepper chuckled, and Tony bent to peck her lips. Then a look of excitement washed over his face. "It's official! We're having sex, Pep! Can you believe it?!" he exclaimed, making her laugh out loud.
"Yes, we most certainly are, Tony. Thank you for pointing that out," she teased, giving him a wry smile, and still chuckling. Then she felt him slowly begin to thrust, and she bit her lip, her brow furrowing as she was still feeling a little bit of strain from his size. He noticed her tenseness.
"Don't worry. I won't hurt you, I'll be careful," he assured her. "I'll make sure you stay good and wet, and we'll take things slow, okay? There's no need to rush."
Pepper smiled at him trying to put her at ease, and nodded. She took another deep breath, and slowly blew it out to try to calm herself and relax into the moment. Tony smiled, and nodded. "That's it. You're already starting to loosen up. I can feel it," he assured her.
"I am? I mean, yeah. I...I think I am," Pepper remarked, noticed a slight improvement on the feeling of his motions inside her.
"I know, baby. And it's awesome. For the record, I already love being inside you," he told her, his voice soft and purring. Pepper moaned at his tender words, and Tony ducked his head to plant a few soft, tongue-flicking kisses on her neck. He slowly began to roll his hips, and Pepper could feel his length slide in and out of her. With each pass, she could feel his tip rubbing against her G-spot, giving her a pleasurable shivery thrill down to her core each time.
"Ohhhhh, yes. This feels good," Pepper moaned breathily.
"Good," he told her, almost moaning the word. Tony raised his head to kiss her lips, still slowly and gently thrusting. Soon, he started to settle into a rhythm with her body, and, for the next several minutes they worked together in tandem- with Pepper slightly rolling her hips each time Tony would thrust. They'd alternate kissing and moaning simultaneously, and also gazing into each other's eyes as they moved, until one would start smiling and the other would chuckle, still feeling the amusing effects of the disbelief that they were finally together in this way, after all this time, and fully enjoying each moment.
