Chapter 10

Soon peter and Carol told all their fellow Avengers. Their colleagues weren't quite sure what to make of the couple. Could Peter and Carol make such a thing last with their age difference? In the end, however, they gave them their blessing. It really felt good to not sneak around.

During mid July, Carol arranged for the trip to space she and Peter talked about. Peter was still nervous about this. But, he knew that Carol really wanted to show him around other parts of the galaxy. He was happy to spend time away with her.

He sat beside her as Carol piloted the ship. As he looked at the window, Peter marveled at being so close to the stars. On the way to Titan with Tony and Dr. Strange, he didn't really pay attention to what was out there. He knew that he was thrown into a serious situation with an alien warlord who wanted to wipe out half of the galaxy. Carol really enjoyed seeing Peter's look of wonderment.

They landed on a planet with a beautiful green forest with very tall trees. It reminded Peter of Endor from Return of the Jedi.After taking a long hike, Peter and Carol came across a waterfall. They sat and looked at how calmly the water hit the rocks below. Peter held Carol as they enjoyed the peace that surrounded them.

"I think it's time we should head back", said Carol.

Peter helped her up. He noticed a mischievous look in her eyes. "What's going on in that mind of yours?"

"Do you think you could websling faster than I can fly?"

"I might."

"Race you", said Carol as she took off.

'Oh, it's on', thought Peter as he shot a web and went after her. Despite his best efforts, Carol beat him back to the ship. "That was fun. We need to do a rematch sometime."

"I'm up for that", said Carol. "You know I'm up for more exploration." Peter followed Carol onboard as she arched her eyebrows flirtatiously.

They laid together on the floor covered in a blanket.

"As fun as that was, a bed is more comfortable", said Carol as she laid her head on his chest.

"Can't disagree", said Peter.

Carol looked up at him. "Peter, I was wondering if you'd like to move in with me? My place is closer to Empire State. Plus, I can wake up to your handsome face every morning."

"I would love to move in with you", said Peter. He gave her a kiss. "Every morning I'm going to show you how much I love you."

"Every morning? I like the sound of that, Mr. Parker."

"Good." Peter started to kiss down her body.

"I could get used to that." As Peter worked his magic, they both got excited for the next stage of their relationship.
