Rhodes stood at the front door of the stark mansion for over twenty minutes, waiting for Jarvis to get confirmation for Tony to open the door.
"I am sorry Mr. Rhodes, but Tony is…indisposed at the moment. He asks for you to return at a better time maybe two or three days from now?"
Rhodey just sighs and says, "Jarvis, you tell Tony when he is available to call me because he left a huge mess at the office." "I will alert him when he available Mr. Rhodes."
Rhodey nodded and with another sigh, turned and got back into his car. As he drove away, Pepper and Tony were in the kitchen having breakfast.
Pepper set down a plate with a large stack of pancakes in front of Tony. His eyes widened and a grin the size of Texas appeared on his face.
"Where did you learn to cook like that?" Tony asked as he shoveled pancake into his mouth. Pepper laughed at his little boy grin and sat down at her spot, a much smaller stack of pancakes piled on her plate.
"I had a big family and with two working parents, you kind of pick it up. Someone had to feed the kids."
Tony smiled at her comment and continued eating. "Sir, Mr. Rhodes stopped by for a visit 5 minutes ago.He says he needs to speak with you urgently."
Tony tried to agree, but he ended up choking on his food. Pepper giggled and said, "That's what you get when you talk with your mouth full."
Tony glared at her and chewed his food, the swallowed. "As I was saying Jarvis, I will call Rhodey when we are done eating." Pepper merely smiled and continued with her meal.
Two hours later: Pepper walked into Tony's bedroom and came upon him on the bed, shirtless, talking on the phone. She waited in the doorway until he noticed her and waved her in.
Putting the phone against his shoulder, he motioned to her. She walked over to the bed and leaned down at his request. "I am just talking things over with Rhodey and then you and I have the rest of the day together."
Pepper smiled and kissed him quickly on the lips then went into the master bathroom to shower.
As Pepper showered, Tony finished his conversation with Rhodes and then decided to join Pepper in the shower.
She yelped when the cold air hit her bare back, but it was silenced by the small moan as Tony's arms wrapped around her waist and his lips found the base of her neck. "Sorry to intrude, Ms. Potts, but I felt so dirty."
Pepper laughed and turned in his arms, letting her lips ghost over his. "Well I am glad you are caring about your hygiene more nowadays, but you missed the show. I just finished and now I am going to get out before you get me dirty again."
Tony pouted and Pepper laughed again at his childish face. She broke out of his hold and stepped out of the shower, grabbing a towel as she went. Tony sighed and continued washing his hair.
Pepper toweled herself off and then went into the guest room closet where she keeps extra clothing in case she stayed over at Tony's house.
As she dressed, Tony emerged from the bathroom and came upon her in nothing but a matching bra and underwear. He silently came behind her and when he was directly behind her, he growled loudly.
Pepper jumped and let out a small shriek. As she turned, Tony caught her in his arms and pushed her down onto the bed. She finally caught sight of her attacker and laughed as Tony continued growling.
"God, you scared me half out of my skin!" Tony just chuckled and continued growling as he nuzzled her bare stomach. Pepper giggled and reaching down, grabbed a hold of Tony's wet hair and hauled his head up to her.
Her mouth struggled for domination as they slanted across each other.
His hands found her bra clasp and slowly undid it. Pepper groaned against his mouth and let her hands slide down to the top of his towel. She slowly undid the knot holding it up.
It fell to his feet and just as Pepper reached around his back, the phone rang. Tony groaned and Pepper smiled at his frustrated look.
"Jarvis, caller ID please." "Ms. Potts it looks as though your mother is calling." Pepper gasped and nearly fell off the bed.
