Pepper was waiting in her office for Tony to come in. It was 7:59 a.m.. He had one minute. And just like that he strolled in and he was wearing dress pants, a dress shirt and a tie. He looked so handsome. She was still embarrassed but she owed him an apology.
"At your service Miss Potts," he said, waiting for her to give him something to do.
"Tony first I'd like to start by apologizing. I believe that you were truly concerned for me and I'm sorry I yelled at you. You caught me off guard and I was humiliated and I lashed out. I'm so sorry. My vase broke, and the phone fell in the spilled water and I had to put my phone in a bag of rice. That's why it went to voicemail. And I didn't hear you knocking for obvious reasons so I'm sorry if I worried you," she said quietly, not meeting his eyes. She didn't want him to see her blush.
"No it's completely my fault. I should have called the police or something to check on you. Breaking into your house was unacceptable and a complete invasion of your privacy," he said looking her directly in her eye.
"OK let's put this to rest and get started. I need you to pick up my dry cleaning," she said, handing him her slip.
"OK I'll do that and get back to you as soon as possible," he said as he left.
Pepper began to tackle the pile of work on her desk and when a text came through to her phone. It was Amanda.
Wanna get dinner? I want to hear all about your weekend.
Pepper typed back.
I would love dinner. Let's go to The Ivy. I'll try and get out of here on time.
Great. Amanda replied.
Pepper was scanning through her emails and there were tons of people wanting to interview her for being a CEO and former singer in a band. Just as Tony suspected she heard from Forbes, Maxim, Popular Mechanics, and Sports Illustrated, along with some women's magazines such as Allure, In Style, and Cosmopolitan. She thought about it. She would start with the women's magazines first and then she would consider some of the men's ones. Tony got back to the office with her dry cleaning and smiled.
"Miss Potts," he said, handing them to her.
"You can put those on my old desk," she said.
"What next?" he asked.
"I need you to answer all of these emails from all these magazines that want to interview me and yes say to the women's magazines only and schedule them on my calendar. I need to go down and talk to legal. There's a sexual harassment issue and I need to be present," she said.
"Got it," Tony said as she walked out the door.
Tony waited until she closed the door to get behind the computer. He started to call all the magazines and ignore her specific instructions. He was pushing Pepper from the nest. He knew she would be uncomfortable doing an interview and a photo shoot for a men's magazine but he knew deep down she would do great. And then an email came across her personal account that caught his eye. The subject was Thank You for last night Beautiful and he felt a fury inside. He was thinking about this guy and his big dick inside Pepper and he wanted to strangle him. Tony wasn't small and he was never insecure about his size but seeing how much Pepper was enjoying this guy inside of her was making him feel that way. Even though he was tempted to read the email he didn't. He wanted Pepper to see that he was mature. Instead he had JARVIS get his name from the email and send everything there was to know about this guy to his private server.
"And keep it quiet J," Tony said to his AI.
Tony stared at Pepper's calendar and for this week and he saw an opportunity. He might not have a nine inch penis but he was clever and charming and very persuasive. He was going to fight fire with fire. He went to the open space on Friday at the end of the day and he typed in
See Tony off for his mission and take care of the house while he's gone.
"JARVIS make reservations for Vespertine on Friday at 7pm and tell them it's for me," he said.
"Will do sir," he said.
Pepper got back from legal and sent Tony on a bunch of silly tasks but nothing as annoying as he ever made her do.
"Lucky you can go home early. I'm having dinner with Amanda at The Ivy. We really wanted to try Vespertine but she said no one can get a reservation. There's a waiting list," she said.
Tony smiled to himself. He was going to knock Pepper's socks off. But first he was going to go home and do his homework on this nine inch dick guy. It was really giving him a complex.
"Will that be all Miss Potts?" he asked.
"That will be all Mr. Stark," she teased as she packed up her things.
"You need a ride?" he offered.
"No I took my own car today," she said.
"OK have a goodnight," he said.
"Goodnight," she said.
Pepper parked her car and she saw that Amanda already had a table for them. She sat down and Amanda smiled and her words flooded back into Pepper's mind.
There's no risk of pregnancy and you'll always be safe with me
It made Pepper feel uneasy again and she couldn't figure out why. She wasn't ashamed of being with Amanda. She didn't regret it. She had a good time. She wasn't pregnant. She was never pregnant and there was no way she could be since she always used a condom and hormonal birth control and she was with Mike who treats her like a queen and he was always safe. So what was bothering her. Was it Tony? Did she fear giving in to a night of passion and him impregnating her? Or breaking her heart? Or was she bothered by their changing relationship? Was there sudden closeness a dangerous road for her? She pushed it out of her mind and focused on her friend.
"So how was it?" Amanda asked.
Pepper began to spill the beans about the bet she made with Tony, how he was a gentleman when he undressed her, the bet he made with Brad and what Brad's plan was. She told her about them cuddling and the kiss they had when they were dancing and kissing in the elevator and how gorgeous he looks in a towel and how she texted Mike for a hook up and Tony walked in on them and she was mortified.
Tony was hard at work reading about Michael Genova. He was tall and handsome, but a little on the skinny side, not as fit as Tony. He worked for West Park Capital Investment Bank here in LA. He attended the University of Southern California.
"JARVIS bring up the photos please" he said.
He started swiping through them and there it was he spotted Pepper in a picture with him but she couldn't be more than 21 years old. He swiped some more and he found one of them kissing from an old MySpace page. MY LOVE the caption said. Tony rolled his eyes even though Pepper looked happy in the pictures.
Most likely an old boyfriend. But there are no recent pictures of them together. Hmm. Could they have gotten back together? How could they have? She was with me from Thursday to Sunday and if they did why wouldn't she just bring him to the wedding? Friends with benefits? Just a hookup? Is she only satisfied by nine inch dicks? Her friend Amanda could wear a nine inch strap on. That would be something special to see. Focus Stark , how do you find out without asking?
"Also JARVIS look up penis enlargement,"
Tony went through the various methods of penis enlargement.
Traction devices? NOPE. Vacuum devices? double no. Injections? Nope. Pills? useless. Penile extenders? sounds uncomfortable. Clamps? Yikes. Jelqing? I don't have the time. Surgery? too risky. Penile implants? also risky. Penis pumps? could lead to ED. Losing weight for the appearance of a bigger penis? My physique is already amazing. And lastly manscaping for the appearance of a bigger penis? BINGO.
"What do you think J? Manscaping?"
"I am unfamiliar with the term," the AI responded.
"It's OK J. I got it," he said.
Amanda let Pepper finish her story while they ate before she piped in with her opinion.
"Look Ginny all I'm saying is that I know you're horny and everyone knows Tony is horny. You guys have great chemistry, he's not your boss anymore so what's stopping you from at least banging?" Amanda asked as she sipped her wine.
"I don't know. Maybe his reputation, or maybe ruining mine," she said quietly.
"Why if you guys have sex are you a notch on his belt? Why couldn't he be a notch on your belt? You're a CEO. You're a gorgeous, intelligent, woman with a healthy libido," Amanda said praising her friend.
"I don't know. I like Tony a lot more than I should already and if we got together I'm afraid of getting my heart broken. I'm too old to start something and then have to start over," she confessed.
Amanda was getting her to confront all her feelings and it was a relief.
"Would you rather get older and be alone? You're thirty six you have so much time left. Just think about it," Amanda said.
"I don't even know what to do now because Tony saw me and Mike having sex and I don't know what he thinks now. When we danced at the wedding and he kissed me I was so sure he felt something. That kiss was like no other and now I don't know," she said.
"So maybe explain the Mike situation to him and see how he reacts to it," Amanda suggested.
Pepper downed her wine and poured herself another glass.
"That's a good idea. Thanks for suggesting we have dinner tonight. You made me feel so much better," Pepper said.
"I'm glad. You're going to get a good night's sleep tonight and starting tomorrow we're going to work on project Girl Get Your Man," she said.
Pepper laughed.
"I like the sound of that," she said as they clinked glasses.
Tony was still devastated that Pepper had sex with someone that wasn't him. He knew he had no right but he really thought they got closer this weekend. He thought that when he kissed her while they danced that she had felt something too, but now he wasn't too sure. But he wasn't going to let this discourage him or make him give up. He was going to get the girl of his dreams one way or another.
