It was the morning after the wedding and Pepper was in no mood to attend the breakfast but her stomach was growling. She also wanted to go home so she could have some away time from Tony because she was extremely horny and he only made it worse. She wanted to get a release if her ex boyfriend Mike was available tonight she would be with him because he was someone she trusted to have sex with and their arrangement worked. If Mike wasn't available she'd just have a special night with her vibrator.

Tony was out cold and he had his arm wrapped around her. It felt nice. She enjoyed it more than she wanted to. Things between her and Tony were getting stickier and she needed time to think about it when she wasn't horny. She needed to get satisfied and have a clear head and think about if she wanted to act on this new thing with her and Tony. She lifted his arm gently and slid out from under it and dragged herself into the shower. This weekend Pepper let herself go and things between her and Tony went too far but she was CEO of Stark Industries now and she had to go back to being super professional and keep Tony at bay. But she needed to get him and his damn handsome face out of her head. She turned on the water and texted Mike.

SOS are you available tonight? Your services are much needed.

She got in the water and her mind just kept wandering to Tony. Last night when they were kissing in the elevator she wasn't acting. She wanted to rip his clothes off. She was glad that she wasn't going to be his assistant anymore because less time around him would make her less tempted and eventually this thing would go away. She came out of the bathroom and peaked to see if Tony was still asleep and since he was still out cold she came out in her bra and panties and started digging through her drawers quietly to find her jeans and button down cold shoulder top. She looked at the clock and decided she would wake Tony up one hour before they had to check out and go to breakfast. She opened her bag and began to pack them quietly. She grabbed her dresses and Tony's suits and put them into garment bags. She was nearly packed when her phone went off. It was a text from Mike.

I got you babe. Chardonnay or pinot? he asked.

I don't care. Just bring your handsome face at 6pm,, she sent back.

Tony stirred and turned to look up at her.

"Hey sleepyhead," she teased.

"Wow you're dressed already?" he asked as he sat up and yawned.

"I'm nearly packed too. We have check out and the breakfast at ten,"

"I need coffee now," he said, dragging himself out of bed.

He grabbed for his jeans and pulled them up over his perfect ass and Pepper couldn't help but watch him.

"Here I brewed the free coffee. You don't have to go down to get it," Pepper said, pouring him some into a styrofoam cup.

"Thanks. In that case I'm taking my pants back off," he said and kicked his pants back off.

Pepper laughed.

"Do we have to go to this breakfast?" he asked.

"No. I thought about blowing it off but I am starving," she said.

"Well let's make a quick appearance and eat and hit the road," he said.

"Yeah I want to go home and unwind tonight before I start my first day as CEO. The announcement of it alone will be a shit show," she said.

"So am I reporting to work tomorrow as your assistant?" he asked.

"Yes. 8am sharp," she said.

Tony showered and dressed and finished packing up his things and they checked out and loaded the car. They went back inside holding hands and found the breakfast dining room. It was all laid out buffet style. Tony filled his plate with mostly bacon and a scoop full of eggs and a belgian waffle. Pepper grabbed for eggs and some fruit.

"Excuse me," Tony asked one of the staff putting the food out.

"Yes," they said.

"Was this fruit prepared and cut on the same board or with the same knife as the strawberries? She has a serious allergy to strawberries," he inquired.

Pepper looked at him in surprise, she couldn't believe he remembered.

"Yes they were all the same. Well the invitations specified to list any allergies so why weren't they accommodated?" he asked.

"It's not a big deal. I can eat something else," she said.

"I'd be happy to bring you some fresh fruit from a separate prep station with no cross contamination," the woman said.

"That would be great," Pepper said.

"Can I speak to the head of your kitchen staff or whoever is in charge?" Tony asked.

"Tony it's ok," she said.

"No it's not ok. What if you bit into it and had a reaction? You could have died,"

"Tony I travel with my epi pen," she said.

"That's not the point," he said.

"I'll get the manager right away," she said as she went away.

They were standing there and people were staring at them as the manager approached.

"How can I help you?" she asked.

The woman who was putting the food out also returned with a new bowl of fruit for Pepper.

"My girlfriend has a severe allergy to strawberries and we specified that on the invitation and this fruit was prepared on the same board with the same knife as the strawberries and I want to know why," he demanded.

"What's going on?" Lisa asked as she approached Pepper. She looked really embarrassed.

"I have an allergy to strawberries and the fruit was prepared on the same cutting board with the same knife. Tony wanted to speak to the manager," she explained.

"I submitted all the allergies that were on the invitations," Lisa claimed.

They could still hear Tony arguing and something about how he's a billionaire and he will own this place and everyone will be out of a job and Pepper knew she had to step in.

"Tony an apology and a new plate of fruit is fine. Let's go sit down," she said, getting between him and the manager.

Pepper smiled at the woman and thanked her.

"I will send you some vouchers for free stays here and we will meet every needed accommodation," the manager reassured them.

Pepper nodded and began to push Tony towards an open table.

"I was three seconds away from buying the place," he said.

"Sit," she said firmly.

He did as she said and he opened his mouth to speak again.

"Eat," she said.

Tony did so reluctantly and dropped the subject. Pepper was speeding through her fruit while she went online to book a wax, not that Mike cared, but she was in need of one anyway.

"I just made an appointment at the salon so we need to hit the road as soon as possible in case there's traffic," she said.

"Ok let's go," he said.

They slipped out unnoticed and hopped into the car. Pepper put on her eighties hair metal playlist and Tony didn't cringe.

"It's not ACDC or Black Sabbath but it isn't terrible," he said.

"I Remember You by Skid Row was one of my favorites," she said.

"They're not bad. You get the first hour and the second hour I get the music choice," he said.

"That's fair," she said.

Tony finally pulled up in front of the mansion and he managed to cut ten minutes off the trip with his excessive speeding.

"Tony thank you so much for coming with me and pretending to be my boyfriend and for defending my honor and eating 12 jalapenos. It really means a lot to me," Pepper said.

"And thank you for trusting me to do those things. You made it very easy for me," he said.

Pepper didn't say anything, she just hugged him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Tomorrow 8am sharp," she said as she headed to her car.

…..

Pepper was waxed neatly with a little triangle and bare on the bottom. She showered again and exfoliated and put lotion on and even a little makeup. She had a sex date. It was 5:55 and Mike would be there soon and she was never more excited about it. But of course Tony would be calling right now.

"What?" Pepper asked as she answered the phone.

"Do I have to wear a suit tomorrow? Can't I wear jeans?" he asked.

"You need to follow the same dress code you created," she said as she put her phone on speaker on her dresser and went to light a few scented candles. When she went back for her phone she slipped and the dresser wobbled causing her vase of fresh flowers to crash on the floor along with a loud bang along with her phone that fell into the spilled water and the screen went black.

"Pepper?" Tony asked but the line went dead.

Pepper was scrambling to sweep up the glass and dry the floor. She finished just as Mike rang her bell. She opened the door and he kissed her immediately.

"I brought the chardonnay," he said.

"You open that up. I need to put my phone in a bag of rice. I got water on it and it's toast," she said as she grabbed a plastic bag and some rice and put her phone inside.

Mike handed her a glass and she sipped it generously.

"Come here beautiful. I have lots of work to do on you," he said as he kissed her passionately and began to unbutton her blouse.

Pepper pulled away for a moment and hesitated the kissing part because of the way Tony had kissed her during their slow then she pushed Tony out of her mind and pulled Mike to her by his shirt and kissed him even harder. She refused to acknowledge any feelings for Tony. .

"Bedroom?" he asked.

"Yes bring the wine," she said as they kissed the whole way into her bedroom.

"We have all night so please can we get to the point and then we can do it again slowly? I need this so bad," she said.

"You gotta let me tease you a little bit," he said.

Mike stripped down to his boxer shorts and he stripped Pepper completely naked and he was kissing her everywhere except where she wanted.

"Oh Mike please don't tease me anymore. I need your talented mouth," she begged.

"I suppose I could end your suffering,'' he said running his fingers over her clitoris.

"Please," she begged.

Mike spread her open gently, ran his tongue over her slowly at first and then he picked up the pace and had her screaming and squirming until she climaxed hard.

"MMM Ginny, why are you so irresistible? And how do you not have a boyfriend?" he asked as he slid his boxers down.

He was pitching quite an impressive tent and Pepper grabbed for it and began to stroke him the way he loved. It was his turn for some teasing.

Tony had a million thoughts going through his mind. He figured Pepper would call him back like she always did, but he heard a crash. He waited fifteen minutes before he called again and it went straight to voicemail.

What if she fell? What if she slipped and hit her head? What if she's in a pool of blood? What if she's unconscious?he thought.

"That's it. I'm going over there," he said as he hopped into the car and headed to Pepper's house.

Tony got to Pepper's and he knocked on the door since her doorbell was broken and he hadn't gotten around to fixing it for her. He waited a few minutes and he heard no response so he knocked again more loudly.

Oh no she's hurt. Shit I should have come in the suit. I'm going to have to go through a window.

Tony scanned the bottom floor windows and looked around to be sure no one was watching him and he felt around until he felt a weak spot in her screen and he removed it and climbed inside.

"Pepper," he said.

Pepper and Mike were dripping in sweat and he needed a position change so they stopped momentarily and Pepper got into the reverse cowgirl position which was his favorite. He liked to be able to fondle her breasts and rub her clitoris while he was inside of her. Just as she sat on him and began riding he started to fondle her as well. Her rhythm picked up and suddenly the door opened and it was Tony Stark.

Tony was in momentary shock. The first thing he felt was his heart breaking in two. It was like a punch in the gut or getting the wind knocked out of him. Then he thought of memorizing Pepper's naked body. Then he noticed that she was bare down there with a triangle which is something he always wondered about, not that he cared either way, he had no preferences when it came to that. The third thing he thought was how big this guy was and that he was bigger than he was and he hoped he could live up to this guy. And the fourth thing was who was this guy? Pepper never mentioned she was seeing anyone and he thought they had gotten close after their weekend adventure. These thoughts went through his mind rapidly in the five seconds he had before Pepper freaked.

"HUH," she gasped and desperately reached for a blanket to cover herself up.

"Oh my God. I'm sorry Pepper. I'm so sorry," he said closing the door and retreating to the living room.

Pepper was seeing red. She wrapped herself in the sheet and marched into the living room after Tony. She was about to speak but he spoke first.

"I didn't know you were seeing anyone," he muttered knowing that might get him in more trouble.

Her face was red with anger and he knew by her expression he was in BIG trouble.

"GET OUT," she said.

"Pepper let me explain. I thought you were hurt. I heard a crash and then your phone went to voicemail and-

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE," she yelled again.

"I thought something happened to you ok. You didn't answer the door and I called your name too. I really thought you were hurt. I'm sorry. I'm leaving," he said as he opened the door and left without looking back at her.

Pepper was mortified and angry but she believed Tony was genuinely concerned and she would apologize to him tomorrow. She went back into the bedroom and found Mike waiting for her.

"I'm sorry. Can we start again?" she asked.

"How about I give you a nice long massage first and then I make love to you for the rest of the night?" he said.

"That sounds amazing," she said as she put Tony out of her mind so she could focus on her own pleasure.
