I don't own anything except Mustapha ;-)
Thank you all who read this story and the nice reviews I loved them.
Finally?
Tony woke up early on the second morning, feeling Peppers back pressed against his. He turned and spooned her, wrapped one arm around her waist and brought his nose against her neck.
He smelled her hair and the sense of her body-lotion: peaches. The day before was great: sightseeing, dinner and the evening on the bar, listening to the piano man and afterwards carrying a half asleep Pepper into their room and into their bed, where she slept in, in no time.
A grin appeared on his face, yes, she was his, completely. He didn't know what he did to earn her, but she was the one good thing in his life he would do everything for.
He couldn't help but leaning over and kissing her. She smiled into his kiss, cause this was her favorite way of getting waked. "hmmmm… Mornin'." She mumbled, when he pulled back.
"Good morning Miss Potts." He said in his usual tone, when his voice changed into something more soft. "Slept well, Honey?"
"Yeah, but why did you wake me? Not that I'm complaining the way you…hmmm" He cut her off with another kiss. "…wake me."
He chuckled. "We need to go early to catch our jet and to get the ferry at Abu Dhabi."
"Ferry?" Pepper was confused. "Stark you are a billionaire, have a few mansions all over the world and your own island and we're going to your island by a public ferry?"
"No, we're going to the airport and taking the jet to get my yacht to get to our island."
"Our island?"
"Yeah, I brought it, so I could name it like I wanted to and I named it 'Potts Royal'."
"What you named it after me?" Pepper was startled by this incredibly cute announcement.
A grin appeared on Tony's face when he got up and turned to face her. „No. I named it 'Potts Royal' because I love Pirates of the Caribbean and 'Potts' is synonym made by Jarvis for 'Port'." He laughed when he saw her look on her face. "Actually I liked the sound of it. I had a certain ring: Potts Royal. Well we need to get up. I'll get a shower. Care to join me?" His smile changed from soft and sweet to a seductive expression.
Pepper rolled her eyes playful and got up, too. She went over to him and kissed him longingly while she lifted the hem of his MIT-shirt and pulled it off. His hands went to the hem of her shirt but her hands gripped his and stopped him immediately. "Go get your shower, boy. Like you said, we need to catch the jet. I'll pack our stuff."
"Tease! Again! I'd paid enough. Don't you think?"
"After this last lesson, yes." She leaned over to his ear so he could hear her whisper. "And…um, when we're on your island, I'll pay you. And you'll get more than your shower. I hope there's a beach." She smiled sexily at him and her big, ocean blue eyes met his brown ones.
"Such a dirty mind, Miss Potts. But sounds fair." He looked like a kid in front of ha huge Christmas-tree. The turned and headed over to the bathroom.
9 hours later. They entered Tony's yacht. The skipper was already there, waiting for the two of them. Tony shook his hand and he then turned to Pepper and gave her a wide smile. "Pepper, this is Mustapha. He is our personal guide and yeah 'girl for everything' here."
"Hello Miss Potts. Nice to finally meet you." He shook Peppers hand, too.
"Finally?" Pepper wondered.
"When we talked about your vacation here, Mr. Stark was always talking about you and that he want no interruption unless he or you call for."
Tony cut him off and smiled sheepishly. "Don't listen to him, he doesn't know what he says."
Pepper slapped Tony's shoulder playfully "Oh don't you give this nice guy such a hard time!"
"What? Do you want any interruptions? I don't want to have SHIELD in our room once more. Do you?"
Pepper blushed again and mumbled something about the lines "No, gosh this was so embarrassing."
The trip to the island was quite quiet. The couple sat on the bench behind Mustapha, who was leading the boat. Tony's arm was around Peppers shoulders and her head lay on his chest. The water was blue and matched the colour of Tony's arc-reactor and Peppers eyes. The sun began to set already, but it was still round about 25 degrees. The sunset put everything in red-golden light and highlighted Peppers, hair and freckles. Tony thought about this moment with the love of his life in his arms, watching the sunset from a boat placed on the endless sea. The colour of the sea, the colour the sun painted on the sky was everything which connected the two of them: The blue like her eyes and his battery, the light, the colours of his suit. He was sure this is a sign. They were made for each other. He was made for loving her and this was finally the right moment to tell her.
"Pepper…?"
"Hmm. Yes Tony?"
"Pepper I have to tell you something. Virginia, I Lo…" She jumped out of his arms and ran across the boat. She threw up into the sea. Tony walked behind her pulling her hair away and rubbing her back to comfort her.
"Oh I'm so sorry. Please go. I don't want you to see this. Me, this way. Please."
"No need to excuse. And I won't leave you alone. Are you seasick?"
"I love the sea, but I can't handle boats very well. But I didn't want ruin our vacation so I told you nothing. I'm so sorry!"
"Hey Pepper, stop excusing. It's ok. Look at the horizon-line. It should help you. I'll be back in a minute."
"Where are you going?"
"After this?! That was: Ihhh… I have to throw up myself now." He chuckled and kissed her cheek. Pepper rolled her eyes.
"Great time to make a joke! That's not funny."
"I'm sorry honey. I want to get you a glass of water." He kissed her other cheek and left.
Damn it. The moment was ruined by a silly boat. But he looked forward to a vacation with Pepper. 10 days, just the two of them. And he was ready with paying. Yes this would be a great vacation.
Done.
For the ones who waits for the deed, it'll be in the next chapter. Promised!
So please review. I like it when you review *.*
PS: If you don't want read in detail about Pepperonys sexual life don't read chapter 9. It's not necessary for the rest of the story and it would only be written in detail, because I promised this to my close friend vicky to write her such a chapter. Yes I know awkward. But what do you do for close friends?
Lots of Love xoxox
