"Oh god, Pepper..." Tony moaned, as he buried himself deep into Pepper. Sweat dripped down his forehead as their sticky bodies moved together. Skin slapped again skin and pleasurable moaning filled the room as the two fought for release. His stomach pressed against hers as he grinded her into the mattress. Her hands wrapped around his sweaty body as he moved above her.

"Tony..." Pepper moaned. "Don't—" She paused to let out a low moan. "—Don't stop."

She wrapped her hands tight around him as she felt his thrusting hips speed up; her forearms sticking against his sweaty body. He groaned in her ear, and what felt like the third earth shattering orgasm she had in the past half hour soon took over her body.

He came alongside her with a growl and a few grunts. His cock spurted hot streams of come into her, all while her walls convulsed and constricted around him. After a few pleasurable shallow thrusts that allowed him to coat her walls with his semen, he slipped out of her with a whimper and fell onto the spot beside her on their bed.

He panted and let his hand fall onto his stomach. He could feel a cold breeze hit their bodies as the sweat on the nape of his neck ran down his upper back. Pepper's eyes were closed, and her lips formed a wide grin. He turned his head to make sure she was okay and soon smiled alongside her.

"That..." Pepper panted. "...that was—"

"The best 'I'm sorry' sex you've ever had?" He rolled over to press himself against her. He wrapped his arm around her and pulled the covers over their bodies.

She opened her eyes and gazed up at him. Those brown chocolate eyes of his always seemed to pressure her into forgiveness whenever she met them, and they seemed to be successful ninety-five percent of the time. She pressed herself against his body and he lifted up his arm to bring her in.

"Definitely something." Pepper said, in content.

Before Afghanistan, he wasn't the cuddling type, but that was only because he didn't want to cuddle with a random stranger, and cling to a sweaty body that he didn't have any interest in, but Pepper was somehow different. Although, it doesn't mean they immediately cuddled after their first time, it took a while for him to get used to cuddling, with and without clothes.

He pushed his leg in between hers, while she did the same, and they laid there, tangled together below the waist, embracing the other person's warmth. He held her at a small distance with his hands resting on her waist.

She bent her head forward, enjoying the peaceful time they had together, all while ignoring the circumstances that led them there.

"I really am sorry, though." He spoke again.

She looked up to face him. Her face was displayed her emotions; content and tired. She closed her eyes and felt exhaustion take over, but she opened her eyes again when she felt his warm and comforting hand on her cheek.

"I'm not mad about it, Tony." Pepper said, taking his hand off her cheek to press it against the space on the mattress between them.

He smirked. "I've known you for twelve years, Pepper. Ten of which I was basically drunk out of my mind, but I've grown to know when you're angry at me. And right now, I know you still are."

She smiled softly. "I'm not as mad as I was a few hours ago," she corrected herself.

"Of course you aren't." He chuckled. "We just had sex, which, by the way, was amazing."

She looked at him with droopy eyes and sighed. "Let's just talk about it in the morning, okay?"

Tony frowned and saw her slowly close her eyes. She was falling closer and closer to sleep, and one thing he didn't want to have to deal with in the morning was an angry and cranky Pepper. So, he allowed her to fall asleep, but just because they were in a small fight didn't mean they rejected all forms of physical contact.

He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her in to press her naked body against his. She rested her head on his chest, and in her exhaustion, she agreed to cuddling. He pulled the comforter over their bodies and waited until her breathing evened out. Her hand stayed on the scar in the middle of his chest, where the Arc Reactor used to be, while she fell asleep to the sound of his heart beat. A few seconds after she slipped into a dreamless slumber, he followed her.

He woke up to an empty bed the next morning. He turned his head to investigate the cold spot on the bed and noticed the bathroom light was on, as well as the shower head.

Tony rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand and mumbled, "What time is it, JARVIS?"

"It is currently 7:21 AM, Sir. It's 58 degrees Fahrenheit, lightly cloudy with a five percent chance of rain," the AI announced. "Would you like me to read the front page of the Los Angeles Times?"

"No," Tony fluttered his eyes open. He turned his head to look at the bathroom door once more and frowned. When Pepper usually said they'd continue their talk in the morning, she usually waited until they were both calm and willing to communicate. Of course, this was only after they started their romantic relationship. Before, Pepper would make sure he heard her no matter what he was doing, because she knew he would just nod and most likely not pay attention. He wanted their relationship to work, and her willingness to sit down with him and talk was more than enough encouragement for him.

Tony didn't want to wait until she got out of the shower, so he decided they were going to have their conversation in the shower. His desperation to fix things was probably caused by the fact that he stood her up at their date night, last night, which, to his explanation, was not his fault. The last time he ate without her, she was only mildly angry, but this time, since he stood her up, she was furious.

He ruffled his hair with his hand and yawned lightly. He swung his legs off the bed and brought the thin sheet off his naked body. He walked sleepily towards the bathroom door and opened it. He didn't really need to knock since they had been living together for almost half a year. They were very much used to each other's sudden entrance into their personal space. Ever since the start of their 'special nights', neither one of them dared to object to 'surprises'.

Steam rushed past his face as he entered their bathroom. Pepper's bare back was to him, as the shower head spewed hot streams of water against the front of her body. His eyes eventually drifted to her bare buttocks and grinned once the memories of last night's sex session invaded his mind.

He swung open the glass door of their large marble tiled shower and came up behind her. He planted a small kiss on her bare wet shoulder, as it was usually his way of saying good morning.

Pepper squeaked when she felt his soft lips on her, and abruptly turned around. "Tony," she yelped.

"Hey," Tony smiled. "A bit early to be getting up, don't you think?"

Her lips formed a smile. "Some of us don't want to make a habit out of sleeping in until noon."

He could sense a hint of anger in her tone. "Sleeping until noon is the secret to my handsomeness, though." He rested his hands on her waist and leaned in to kiss her, but at the last minute, she turned around to face the shower head. Their large shower consisted of three shower heads and they all pointing to the middle, so there was no need to retreat to the hot water when it was spewing at you from all directions.

"I'm guessing you're still mad at me," he sighed loudly.

"It was one night, Tony." She said sternly. "We planned date night a week in advance, and you arrive three hours late."

"Fury called me while I was on my way back," he tried to tell her," and you know how he is. He practically chewed me out last week when I told him I couldn't go because we had to meet your mom for dinner."

Pepper turned around to glare at him. "And there was absolutely no reason at all to tell him in advance?"

Tony pressed his lips together and looked away. "Okay, so maybe I should've done that, but even then, he probably would've forgotten and still called me. Every personal matter goes in one ear and out his eye patch."

She heavily sighed and frowned. "I shouldn't be mad at you." Why was she mad at him? Was it because he was late to one of their date nights? Could that be the only reason why she was angry? She understood that his job as Iron Man was more than full time. Sometimes, she wouldn't see him for a few days to a week, but they pushed through it and called each other to say good night. "I'm just stressed from work and the remodeling of our house, and I guess I was just looking forward to relax and spending some time with you."

Tony raised his eyebrow and grinned. "If you're so stressed, why don't you take some time off?"

She rolled her eyes. "You know that's not possible for me."

"Well, it's Saturday." He shrugged. "Let's just spend the entire day together. It'll be like one gigantic date night, or we could just have a huge sex marathon. I know you love those."

She flashed a small smile. "We have a benefit to go to tonight. I reminded you about it yesterday, before you stood me up."

He squeezed her waist affectionately and lowered his head to kiss her collar bone. "Then let's spend some time together right now."

Pepper closed her eyes and enjoyed his soft lips on her neck. "We can't..." She tried not to groan. "...I need to call the contractors that we hired to rebuild the house in Malibu."

"Call them later." He muttered against her soft wet skin.

"Tony..." She groaned and wrapped her hands around his head to pull him in. He buried his head in her chest and planted soft kisses between her breasts. He wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. He hugged her against his body and smiled. Pepper yelped in surprise, "Oh god, Tony—"

He pulled away to look at her. "What?"

"Really?" She asked, gesturing below his waist.

"I just woke up." He smiled slyly. "Want to help me get rid of it?"

She rolled her eyes at him and turned towards the shower head. "I have a lot to do today. I don't have time—"

He pressed her back against his chest, and his hardening erection pressed against her butt. "It'll only take half an hour, Pepper." He leaned in to retreat to her neck.

She closed her eyes from the sensation of his light kisses on her neck and the imaginable pleasure from his hard cock grinding against her. The wondrous sensation of the hot water against their bodies, along with his kissing and grinding, made a small moan escape her mouth. "Tony... stop," she muttered.

"Make me," he growled against her ear. His husky and demanding voice made her shiver. "You'll feel so much better after."

"Sex doesn't make everything better, Tony." She tried to tell him.

"Of course it does." He smiled against her neck. "Or have you not been paying attention to the last couple events we've been to? Rough possessive sex in the limo and the elevator, all caused by minor jealousy." He reminded her.

Tony reached between their bodies and stroked himself a few times, before slipping his member between her thighs. She gasped as she felt the edge of his throbbing penis tease the skin of her wet folds. He moved his hips in small circles and held her at the hip, hoping to coax her into having sex.

Pepper put her hand on the wall in front of her to support herself as her knees buckled under the pleasurable sensation. He stopped moving his hips and leaned in; she nearly whimpered when she felt his hot breath against her ear.

"Do you remember the last time we had sex in the shower?" he whispered hotly. His cock twitched from the sudden flood of memories; screams of pleasure and moaning filled his head. Pepper breathed in once she felt his hand on her stomach that slowly travel towards its destination. His hand went lower and lower, and her breathing increased.

"Mm..." Pepper hummed as she closed her eyes. She gasped loudly when she felt his hand rub in between her folds, just above the area where the tip of his penis was. He rubbed her and lightly grinded against her, making her go wild with pleasure.

"Right before your ex-boyfriend blew up our house." He growled possessively.

"Ex-boss." Pepper muttered, eager to correct him.

Tony pressed a lingering kiss on the back of her neck. "Either way, you weren't his anymore. You were mine the moment you quit working for him." His breath lingered on her skin, and as his hard penis twitched, she shuddered, eagerly waiting for him to penetrate her.

Forgiveness was the hardest thing a person could succumb to, especially after, what was supposed to be their night alone, was ruined. Tony was initially right. Sex let out stress, frustration, and bottled up anger, and those were all the things she had clung onto since he stood her up.

So, she moved her hips and grinded against him, begging for him to hurry up and fuck her. Tony felt her hips rotate, and then felt her thighs ever so slightly milk him. His response was a light growl and a low moan. He pressed his hands on her hip and squeezed, forcing her to stop her movements.

"God, you're so beautiful when you do that." He leaned over and backed out from her thighs. He turned her around and leaned in to kiss her. The kiss started out soft and then turned into a push for dominance as Tony slipped his tongue in. He pressed her against the wall and grinded his throbbing cock against her soaking folds. The imaginable pleasure from the shaft of his penis rubbing against her made her moan loudly against his lips. He waited and waited, and continued to coax her with just the shaft, and that did more to Pepper than he had thought.

When Pepper pulled away, he moved to her neck, kissing and nibbling at it. The only thing that got him to rush was her hand on his hard throbbing cock. She stroked him punishingly, and teased the slit on the head with her thumb. He groaned against her neck and moved his hips to thrust into her grip. She tilted her head to the side and closed her eyes, enjoying the pleasurable feeling from the hot water that sprayed onto their bodies and his lips on her neck.

There wasn't enough time in the world to enjoy their time together. She was always off doing work at Stark Industries, as well as rebuilding their mansion in Malibu, and he was always off saving the world somewhere. Their 'special nights' were all they could muster up to counter their hours, or days, away from each other. Even the surprise ones were a good enough substitute. There was only a small amount they could do to rectify their lack of time together, as Iron Man and Stark Industries did enough to keep them occupied. This was where date night and their 'special night' came into place, but even then, setting up a time to be together didn't guarantee anything, and Pepper felt like she should've known that. Her anger towards him wasn't entirely justified.

In this realization, she gasped, "I love you."

Tony, surprised and caught off guard, especially since he thought she was angry at him, whispered back, "I love you, too."

He guided the head of his penis towards her wet folds and slipped in. They both groaned and moaned loudly at the sudden wave of pleasure, and as he continued to slowly penetrate her, she tilted her head to the side and closed her eyes.

"You're so tight," he groaned huskily. "So tight and wet for me."

She did her best to sink onto his throbbing cock, but that only made him lust for her even more. Her back pressed against the wall, and he drew up her leg to wrap around his waist. The new angle, and his long and hard thrusts sent her moaning for more. He fucked her against the tile wall with all that he had. His rough thrusts alone sent her on a pleasurable rampage. As he moved in to press her further against the wall, she lifted up her other leg to wrap it around his waist. In a few minutes, he was pounding her into the wall, ramming into her and impaling her on his hard leaking cock.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and moaned into his ear, and within a minute or two, she was coming undone. Her walls convulsed around him, and he shuddered at the feeling of wanting to come with her, but he continued the harsh pace to help her ride it out. She moaned his name in his hear over and over, ushering him to come with her, but he resisted.

Tony continued to thrust into her and pound her into the wall, hoping to get her to come again. He pressed her bottom against him to deepen the thrusts, and judging by the loud screams of pleasure, he could tell that he hit her sweet spot. He buried his head in her chest and groaned loudly as he thrust into her continuously. The need to come increased with each thrust, and his will to hold it back crumbled fast.

The sound of wet skin slapping against each other, spewing water, and loud moaning filled their bathroom.

"Fuck!" Tony gasped, as the need to come rushed to his groin. Pepper nibbled on his ear and moaned, ushering him to completion.

"C'mon, Tony," she whispered through the harsh sounds of water showering onto them. With another rough thrust, she groaned, "Mm, you're so huge."

He whimpered through her coaxing words and let one final huge thrust through before coming explosively. He thought he could fight back the huge scream that came with it, but he couldn't, and as he came, he screamed her name.

"Pepper!" he shouted.

His vision blurred as he pumped hot streams of semen through her convulsing walls. His shallow thrusting continued and as intended, she came alongside him. Her walls constricted and harshly stroked his spurting cock, ushering for all that he had to give. The pleasure of her walls milking him made him shudder under her. His cock spurted more than he thought he initially had, and the waves of pleasure continued to crash into them.

Pepper groaned his name into his ear in time with his shallow thrusts, and after a few moments of coming down from their high, they stilled and struggled to catch their breaths. He panted as he stared at her, noticing how blue her eyes were, and how it seemed to reflect how content she was. He grinned wildly and leaned in to softly kiss her on the lips. She hummed against him and smiled. When he pulled away, he retreated to her bare shoulder to kiss it.

"See," he said, still trying to catch his breath, "sex fixes everything."

Pepper chuckled at his words and pressed her lips to the side of his head. He tilted his head to look up at her. "You're okay, right?"

"From our fight, or the sex?"

"Both."

"I'm going to be sore all day, but I'll recover," she responded with a small smile.

He gave a small curious frown. "And our fight?"

She hummed in thought and ran her fingers through his wet hair. "I guess I can't expect our lives to be a walk in the park."

"So, we're good, right?" He smiled apologetically.

She smirked. "No, we're not."

Tony frowned at her words and looked away.

"I'm going to need at least two more of these before I can forgive you."

He looked up in surprise and grinned in adoration. "That, I can definitely do."

She hummed in amusement, as she was very knowledgeable in the extent of his capabilities. She unwrapped her legs from his waist and he helped her down. Although they didn't hear each other through the pounding of the water on their bodies, they both whimpered when he pulled out. He reached over and handed her the bottle of shampoo, all while admiring her body.

"Does this mean we don't have to go to the benefit tonight?" he asked curiously.

"We have to go, Tony. You know I hate it when we skip one." she responded, squirting some shampoo into her hand. She rubbed the liquid between her hands and reached up to massage his scalp. He closed his eyes and hummed in enjoyment. He always loved it when she massaged his head, or played with his hair.

"You know it's going to end up like last time." He smirked. "Rough sex in the limo, again?"

She frowned and hummed. "Mm, I don't want to traumatize Happy, again."

"He wasn't traumatized. He's used to it."

"Which is exactly why I'm saying no." She removed her hands from his head.

He rinsed off the shampoo, using one of the side shower heads and smirked. "So, when women flock to my arrival, should I expect to be bound with my own tie in the elevator?"

She laughed at his words and gave him a devious grin. "Who said I wasn't wearing that dress tonight."

Tony furrowed his eyebrows and frowned at her. "No, you are not—"

"I could," she teased him.

"You wouldn't dare." He frowned angrily.

She looked up at him with a sly grin. "What are you going to do to change my mind, Stark?"

Before they knew it, they were finishing their shower, drying off their bodies with their towels, and having sex on the bathroom counter. Pepper managed to call the contractors about the resurrection of their house in Malibu, and also complied with Tony's wishes in keeping the revealing dress away from the benefit.
