Back upstairs…

"Speed dial connecting me to Rae-Rae (Hey)
Click in Shawntae and Mae-Mae (Hey)
Treat it as a holiday,
Cause he's a wrap,
Y'all know I had to migrate."

Pepper started to get into the song, slowly unbuttoning her jacket and letting it fall on the floor. She turned and stared at the camera and sang. She stood with her legs wide and planted one of them on a chair.

"See I'm on my way home,
Cause my jeans, yeah they fit,
But it might benefit
Me to throw something on,
To feature my hips,
Accentuate my ****
And steal the show"

She arched her back and her hair fell down past her butt. Slowly she sat on the chair facing the back and moved her chest left to right.

"Ms. Potts, Mr. Stark and Col. Rhodes are requesting access to your recording," asked Jarvis.

"Start playback from the beginning Jarvis. Let them think that I didn't know ok?" she said.

"As you wish madam"

They barely had enough time to sit down properly on the video screen as the security camera feed started. They saw Pepper walk into the room and closed the door. She asked Jarvis to start recording and begin the song. Slowly she moved from the window and stared at herself on the mirror and the unimaginable happened: she closed her eyes and started to sway her hips left to right. For some unknown reason, her hands started to move all over her, touching her legs up to her thigh, caressing parts of which Tony only dreamed he could go.

To his left, all Rhodey could do was keep his open mouth from salivating. He has never seen Pepper so-wild and uninhibited. Then again, he has never seen Tony so awestruck and so-, so- he looked to his right and found his friend flabbergasted. All he saw in Tony's face was …anxiety? For a second he forgot the very alluring video of Pepper. He focused on Tony and all he could see was anxiousness, nervousness and even-fear? Tony? Fearful of Pepper? How could he-? Then something clicked. Tony, the consumate playboy, finally found someone - could he be in love with Pepper? Was this Pepper's answer to their unannounced question? It was true, the room always seemed to be very small every time they were together. And that has only become more frequent now that he was back Afghanistan and became Iron Man. A small thought began in the back of his head 'is she doing this to get Tony?'

Just as quickly, another thought emerged 'well if she's willing to perform, I'm willing to watch! - I'm not stoppin' a good thing;'

"Good night Rhodey!" exclaimed Tony.

"Huh? Hey!, we haven't even finished with the floor yet!" Rhodey whined. Hey, he wanted a free show too if he can get one. He was being pushed towards the shop door when the song finally ended and Pepper was standing still. Both men stopped in their tracks and realized with horror as she started to open the door to her room.

"Go Rhodey before she realizes we're a bunch of perverts!" Tony said.

"So you think she doesn't know that already?" he asked. Rhodey had to stop himself from giggling from all the sneaking around that they were doing. It's true, they should never have watched that video, but damn! Pepper can put some strippers to shame with her little performance. And even worse if she ever found out that they were watching her... he shuddered to think where Pepper's heels would end up on his body.

Tony heard Rhodey snicker a bit until he shoved him further towards the door. That click click sound was heard from the top of the stairs. Both men looked at each other and scrambled to go back to their work.

"Here!" Rhodey said as he threw a wrench towards Tony. He deftly caught it as he jumped back into the floor. Rhodey landed on his chest as he slid to the floor next to the opening. They held their breaths as Pepper finally opened the glass door to the workshop/garage.

"Mr. Stark.." she asked. She noticed that Rhodey visibly tensed at the sound of her voice. She held a cup of coffee and a can of Monster in her hands. It took her two seconds to realize that they both saw her little performance. Inside, she was snickering to herself. 'Point to Pepper!'

"Hey Pepper" said Rhodey as he turned towards her. Her hair was back into a tight bun and her cheeks were slightly pink from the exertion. One wouldn't be able to tell that she did anything extraordinary; except from the top two buttons left open on her blouse. Even from the floor, the opening didn't leave much imagination to her cleavage. And her choice of flesh-colored lace bra.

A coughing fit could be heard from the floor as Tony was trying to calm down his chest.

"Are you alright Mr. Stark?" asked Pepper innocently. 'I know you're looking at my cleavage' she thought ruefully. She blinked her eyes as she stared at her boss.

"Ahem. Yes Pepper, just… swallowed my own spit that's all" was all he could answer in between coughs. He couldn't believe that Pepper was back to her usual reserved self. 'Maybe she's been doing that for all this time! What kind of a genius am I when I don't even realize that the sensuous Ms. Pepper Potts has been giving private performances under my own roof?'

She moved towards the table, her heels clicking against the cement floor. Both men stared at her incredulously slender legs and wondered whether the frequent dancing was the reason for those results. The drinks were placed on the table and she left the garage as quickly as she entered it. Both men didn't realize they were holding their breaths until a loud 'whoosh' was heard. Not a sound was heard between the two until one piped up:

"Do you think she knew?" Rhodey asked.

"I don't think so.." Tony said.
