Chapter Twenty:
Touch, Pepper Potts thought, is a wonderful thing.
She rested the pads of her fingers against Tony’s neck, feeling the thrum of his pulse and the curl of hair at his nape. Tony gently slid one of his hands across the smooth fabric of her bra and down, down, down across Pepper’s shaking belly-pulling her blouse away from her skin and cataloguing each freckle revealed. He kissed her jaw line and allowed himself to slow down for once in his life.
For once he just wanted to stay in one place. With one person.
“Pepper…”
His earlier urgency seemed to have bleed into the air surrounding them, and Pepper had breathed it all in. She flushed at the way he said her name and tugged impatiently at the fly of his cotton-soft jeans. Tony ran his open mouth against her cheek and carefully undid the clasp on the front of her bra-calm while she grew even more frantic and shoved his jeans down his hips with all four limbs…
He laughed quietly against her parted lips as she hooked her toes into his belt loops and somehow managed to draw his trousers down around his knees.
“Slow down,” Tony pleaded. “Pepper...”
She drew back a bit-giving Tony a better view of her pale breasts and flushed skin. Pepper was breathing almost frantically-digging her short nails into his bare sides and tugging at his body in a silent attempt to get him to lean closer.
Tony slowly unzipped her skirt with one hand and cupped her cheek with the other-trying to get Pepper to slow down with the example of his kiss.
“Why slow?” she whispered into his mouth and ran her tongue along the edges of his teeth in hopes of charging him up again.
Tony leaned his forehead against hers and swallowed the lump in his throat. “I want this to last,” he confessed. His eyes were open and staring into hers-gauging her reaction. When Pepper ran her fingers through his hair, Tony moved down her body and kicked his pants off as he went. He kissed her belly button and slid the point of his tongue just along the waistline of her panties and skirt just before slowly pulling both articles of clothing off Pepper’s slender legs.
He had to swallow again at the sight of her bared flesh-blushing and already wet with anticipation. Tony’s dark eyes flicked up to Pepper’s and he smirked at the expression on her face. She was biting her lower lip and trying not to blink. Seeing his dilated eyes staring up at her she smiled and tightened her fingers in his hair.
He stroked his callused hands across her smooth thighs and gave her the chance to sit up just enough to pull her bra and blouse off in one move. She desperately wanted to flip Tony onto his back and rush through it all.
That was until Tony Stark dipped his tongue against her labia and rubbed his bearded chin against her sensitive inner thighs.
“Oh my God,” she gasped and tugged harder on his hair.
Tony kissed the mark he’d left behind on her thigh and breathed deeply. “I want this to last, Pepper,” he repeated.
He hooked her legs over his shoulders and went back to mouthing her slick flesh with a maddening slowness. He was teasing her. Pepper shifted against the smooth leather of the sofa and dug her heels into Tony’s spine-pressing hard against a few bruises. Tony winced in pain and dragged his tongue across her swollen and hypersensitive clitoris before fastening his mouth around the bundle of nerves. Pepper actually groaned out loud as he pressed two of his work-rough fingers inside her hot opening. His free hand gently smoothed across her tender breasts.
She wanted to say something but wasn’t sure what would come out of her mouth if she stopped biting her lower lip. Tony picked up a slow rhythm with his mouth and fingers and Pepper’s teeth split her lip.
As she tasted blood, Pepper opened her mouth and whispered. “No one…”
“Hmm?”
His hum ran through her entire body and she shivered.
She panted as he kept up his slow pace and tender attention to her breasts-trying to remember what she was going to say. “Done this… F-for me.”
Pepper felt herself rapidly approaching that elusive precipice-spots of light obscured her vision and she tightly closed her eyes.
Tony reached down and tugged his boxers off with one hand-getting help with one side in the form of Pepper’s surprisingly agile toes. He hummed against her clitoris again-purposefully-and rubbed his cheeks against her inner thighs. “No one else ever will,” he growled heatedly into her and shifted on the sofa.
Pepper kept her legs tangled around his body and kissed him hard when he tilted his hips against hers. She tasted herself all the way around the back of his teeth along with the sharp tang of coffee he must have been drinking the entire night. The hard corner of his arc reactor dug into her breastbone but Pepper paid it no mind.
Tony broke the kiss and tilted his forehead against hers. He wanted to see her eyes as this happened. In fact, he caressed her flushed cheek and waited for her to look at him. Her sweet, toothpaste flavored breath ghosted across his face in harsh bursts. Bright blue eyes finally opened to reveal large pupils full of the same emotion in his bourbon-colored eyes.
Love.
“I need you to know something, Pepper.”
He sounded strained. Pepper understood-she was practically incapable of speech by now.
“I love you so much,” he whispered and stared into her eyes.
Pepper licked her lips and gave a quavering smile. “I love you too, Tony,” she managed after trying to speak for several long moments.
Forehead still pressed against hers, Tony angled his chin and pressed a sweet kiss on her upper lip. He held her neck in one hand and carefully maneuvered himself against her weeping entrance.
Tony’s hips slowly moved against hers, giving her body time to stretch and adjust… But the fullness was overwhelming. The pulsing of his heartbeat was too much. Pepper often had dreams about this moment, but none held a candle to the real thing. The feel of sweat-slick muscles tensing and relaxing beneath her hands as he moved his hips slowly up and down… The sensation of Tony’s rough hands caressing her thigh and cradling the back of her neck…
Pepper whined and tugged on his hair to kiss him again. Her free hand was clawed against his lower back-leaving four neat crescent moon-shaped indents in his skin. It was a fair trade-off to the deep indent his arc reactor was leaving between her breasts.
More bright spots of light popped as her breathing became more ragged. She could hear Tony gasping for the same air and felt his movements get a bit more desperate.
“Same time,” he dragged his face down to the spot where her neck met her shoulder and repeated this hotly against her ticklish skin. In the haze Pepper wasn’t sure what he meant by it.
Not until she felt the first flutter of her inner muscles against his manhood-when Tony Stark whimpered.
“Same time,” she agreed and shifted against him-tilting her hips further up and dragging him deeper into her body with each stroke. She flexed with each move he made backwards-prolonging the tug and tightening that knot further. Pepper’s breathing was coming in high-pitched gasps and the hand gripping Tony’s lower back flattened into a slap between his shoulders. He ground his pubic bone against her until they both shook with exertion and stared into one another’s eyes.
Balanced on one elbow, Tony reached between their slick bodies and pressed the pad of his thumb against her clitoris-rubbing in time with his strokes.
It was Pepper’s undoing. Like a bowstring her entire body tensed-her breath was knocked out of her lungs and she climaxed harder than ever. Tears sprang to her eyes and she let out a scream that rattled her head. Tony held himself still inside her and collapsed as the rhythmic pulsing of her inner muscles finished him completely. He came, sobbing, inside of her.
Tony fought to catch his breath against her thrumming neck and hoped that she could handle his weight for a few minutes as he recovered.
They both felt each other’s tears and shared a quiet laugh and languid touches.
And in the sensation of Pepper Potts’ fingers combing repeatedly through his hair, Tony Stark realized that he could get very used to this whole “commitment” thing.
