Chapter 5: The Date Part 2

Everything so far had gone without a hitch. She'd laughed at his jokes and they'd talked about everything random like why the sky was blue or why you can drink a drink but not food a food. The atmosphere was nice and light and Tony was genuinely enjoying himself. He wondered why he hadn't done this before but then remembered how he hadn't met anyone special enough to give his attention to. He loved making her smile, but he also loved whenever she gave an annoyed look. Her face always made the cutest expressions. But the thing he loved the most was how easily she could give back what he served. She did it so effortlessly and flawlessly it only made him more attracted to her. What he had learned about Pepper so far was that she was a foodie. She loved to try different things but didn't mind the occasional comfort food. She wanted to travel the world but not be there too long and she one day wanted to run a major corporation. Tony grinned, mentally offering her the job as his PA, but decided that it was too soon for that. They had long finished their dinner and desert.

Tony had just ordered a cheeseburger, not willing to venture off into the unknown while Pepper had ordered a Mediterranean Coconut Shrimp Scampi. They both wound up sharing a piece of apple pie and a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Both had also ordered an alcoholic drink, but Tony had kept his order light. He had a simple apple martini while Pepper had a dry vodka martini. It was almost eleven and they still had not left the restaurant, too caught up in conversation and laughter. It was only until one of the waiters asked them to leave so they could close, did Tony and Pepper finally get up. Pepper took Tony's arm and they began dilly-dallying around the ship talking softly, Pepper occasionally laughed at something Tony said, and Tony smiled as she laughed. They made their way to the top deck of the Haven, overlooking the ocean at half past eleven. As they held onto the railing keeping them from falling into the depths below a comfortable silence fell over them until minutes later when Tony finally spoke up.

"So how did I do tonight? So I have a shot at doing this again with you?" He asked nervously.

Pepper turned to look at him and smiled. "For your first attempt at a date, it was pretty damn good."

Tony smiled proudly and asked again, "But do I get another date?"

Pepper smiled softly and answered, "I think you have a pretty good chance."

Tony smiled and took a step closer to Pepper. He was now inches from her body and he softly placed his hand on her cheek and pulled her in to him. As he neared her lips he inhaled the wonderful scent tickling his nose until it permeated every part of his brain and saturated him like a flood. His heart beat faster in anticipation and his brain tried to warn him against kissing her but he felt in his heart that it was right and so put his brain in neutral and his heart in over drive. When his lips finally met hers it was like something in him died and something else was reborn. Her lips were so soft and sweet and intoxicating that everything was erased from his mind and all he could think of was her. When he finally broke away and Pepper didn't return the kiss he felt stupid and began to reprimand himself for moving too fast and listening to his heart opposed to his brain which had never steered him wrong before. He couldn't meet her eyes and instead began apologizing as he looked to his feet wanting nothing more than to run away.

"I'm sorry Pepper, I didn't mean to, well I did, but I…I didn't want to uh you know push you away. I'm sorry it was a mistake I shouldn't have-"

"Tony." She spoke quietly.

He looked up slowly and was a bit taken aback when he saw her eyes. He saw desire raging through them, burning brighter than a lamp at midnight, and he was deeply confused. If she wanted him then why hadn't she kissed him back?

"I don't understand." He said aloud looking truly confused until Pepper grabbed his body and pulled it to her leaving a searing kiss on his lips. Her tongue sought permission to taste even more of him. He willingly complied and moaned as she took charge firing him up. Her hands became lost in his hair as his wrapped around her waist and pulled her flush against his body. She moaned at the feel of him against her as her emotions and desires collided and merged onto a single path.

Tony felt something inside give him a warning and he knew he had to warn Pepper before they did something too early. He used up every last ounce of will he had to detach his mouth from hers and said through erratic breaths, "Pepper, are you sure you want to do this now? I don't want to rush things along for you just because I'm impatient and used to getting what I want."

Pepper tried to catch her breath and asked, "What time is it?"

Tony looked at her confused and glanced down at his Jaeger. "Uh eleven thirty-four. Why?"

Pepper answered his question by planting another equally fiery kiss on his lips and pulled away after a minute of said, "I want this Tony, I want you."

Tony's eyes burned with the same amount of fervor as Pepper's and he slipped his hand in hers and pulled her away from the balcony where they began fast walking toward his rom.

"We have about an hour and a half." Tony said as they reached the door to his room. He quickly inserted the key and opened the door. A second later he was pushed in and the door closed on its own as Pepper grabbed onto him and began hungrily kissing him. "Let's make it to the bed first." Tony said in between hungry kisses.

Pepper moaned her response and Tony began guiding them towards the bedroom never once breaking his lips away from her's. Pepper's hands made easy work of Tony's tie and jacket and quickly set to work on his shirt. She managed to get it off just before they reached the bed and she ran her hands up his chest before she pushed him onto the bed. She climbed up on the bed and onto Tony, straddling him. She placed a trail of kisses down his neck and onto his chest before placing another kiss on his lips.

Tony stopped her momentarily and met her eyes in the dimly lit room. He softly stroked her hair and said gently, "I want you to know this isn't like all the other times. You're not just another girl Pepper. This isn't just sex to me. You mean so much more to me than words can explain."

Pepper smiled at him as a small tear formed in her eyes and she said, "You mean more to me too Tony. That's why we're here." Tony smiled and brought her lips down to his in a much softer, slower kiss.

Tony held Pepper close to him as he gently rubbed her back as she lay her head on his chest tracing over his chest with her finger. Her skin felt warm against his and Tony had an enormous smile on his face as they lay there cuddling. He placed a kiss on her head and Pepper sighed in response cuddling even closer into his side. Tony turned his head and looked to the clock and glared at it evilly. He groaned in protest and turned his head back to Pepper.

"What's wrong?" She asked gently.

"What's wrong is I never want to let you go, but it's ten till one." Tony said disappointed.

Pepper could hear the sadness in his voice and she smiled as she continued to lightly trace him. Truth be told she didn't want to move either. She was in such a comfortable bliss with Tony and she never wanted to let go of him in that moment.

"Five more minutes." She said more to herself than Tony.

"Six." He argued.

"Seven." Pepper input.

Tony chuckled. "You're terrible t negotiating. The whole point is to go down, not up, but not that I'm complaining."

"You can always sneak into my room." Pepper said absently.

"Then we'll never sleep." Tony said with a laugh.

"Maybe I don't want to sleep." Pepper said looking up to him. "I just want to be with you." She spoke softly as she met his soft gaze.

Tony captured her lips in a sweet kiss and smiled at her. "I'm yours." He whispered.

Tony and Pepper ran to her room, their fingers laced together, dressed as though they had never been undressed. It was 12:59 as they rounded the last corner to her room. Tony knocked on the door and not a moment later it opened. Nelia was the one who answered it and she smiled.

"Wow, you're even a minute early. Well, I hope you two had fun because now it's time for goodbye. I'll wait inside." She said as she walked away to give them privacy, but left the door open for Pepper.

"I'll see you in a few beautiful." Tony whispered as he kissed her cheek.

As she pulled away he said aloud, "I'll see you tomorrow then?"

"Yup see you tomorrow. Bye Tony." Pepper said as he began to walk away. She walked into her room and closed the door. "So where are the others?"

"Asleep in their rooms. I volunteered to wait up. So how'd it go?"

"Great. Dinner was nice, and then we just walked around the ship until now. I'll tell you more in the morning." Pepper said as she faked a yawn and said, "I'm tired. I usually don't stay up this late. Thanks for waiting up."

"No problem. I'll see you later then." Nelia said not suspicious of anything. "Oh and we approve of him." She said with a smile as she headed to the door.

Pepper smiled and calmly replied, "Goodnight Nelia." But inside she was screaming for her to leave sooner. Tony's physical absence had already begun to hurt. As the door closed behind, Pepper threw off her clothes and slipped into P.J's then quickly headed to the bathroom and removed all of her makeup. She then practically ran to her phone and texted Tony the al clear. She adjusted the lighting and not a minute later a silent knock resounded on her door and she quickly threw it open and pulled him in. She pushed the door closed and jumped onto him wrapping her legs around his waist, her arms around his neck, and planted a kiss on his lips. He moved them effortlessly to the bed and collapsed onto it.

Pepper began to remove his tie and Tony said with a smile, "Missed me already?"

"I thought I was going crazy." Pepper admitted.

"Me too." Tony said with a smile. "You know, I'm getting a strange sense of déjà vu." He commented with a grin.

"Ah so then you already know what I'm going to do to you next." Pepper replied as she continued to remove his clothes.

"I sure do." Tony replied seizing her neck with his mouth which in turn elicited a moan from Pepper.

It was half past two when they finally fell asleep. Limbs entangled, bodies pressed together, Tony's arms around Pepper, Pepper's head using Tony's chest as a pillow again. Within each soared previously unknown love, adoration, and a new sense of belonging. Each subconsciously knew that they had found their soul mate. That love was shown with every tender kiss, soft caress, sweet touch, passionate thrust, as two became one in body, soul, mind, and spirit. Tony could no longer be Tony without Pepper and Pepper was no longer Pepper without Tony. As they slept in sweet bliss the one thing that they both found was comfort.

17 days for me guys! Boy it's coming quick. I'm so very excited.:D and with the new clip and tv spot it only makes me more excited.

So what did ya think, i apologize for those of you who were hoping for more graphic, but i gave that part of me up a few years ago so this is as far as i'll ever go. But what i did write i hope you liked. I was honestly melting at the fluffiness of it as i was writing it and as soon as i finished writing i bolted to my laptop and finished in an hour. So while it is shorter, i hope it was sweeter than rest. Please be kind enough to leave a review :) it would be strongly recommended and highly appreciated. :)
