Rise of the Mandarin- Chapter Fifteen (Rated M)
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello All! Here is the moment that most of you have been waiting for! *BIG GRIN. I gotta say though, I thought I would never get this thing edited. Special thanks goes to my muse tonyedwstark for being extremely patient with me. Another special thanks goes out to all you people who voted on my poll. The results are in, and we have a whopping 97% voted 'YES' to the love scene. So, if you are in the 3% that voted 'NO', I suggest you not scroll down any further than my Author's Note.
WARNING (because I know I have to put this in): If you are offended by/not allowed to read content involving sexual situations, DO NOT PROCEED ANY FURTHER! This chapter is rated M for a reason, and it's not because of spooning either. My story is rated T over all, so I refuse to up its rating just because I contained the 'action' in one chapter, so for those of you who keep up with my story and don't want to read about sex, please wait for Chapter Sixteen to continue reading. YOU ARE HEREBY WARNED!
Okay, now that I've got the warning out of the way, I have some bad news. No, it's not about the story. My computer has to go to the doctor. *sigh I know, I tried so hard to put it off as long as I possibly could, but I can't any longer. My goal was to make it to the love scene, and thank God I did otherwise I'd have some angry fan girls running after me with torches and pitchforks. There are three things wrong with it: The battery is dead (no longer charging) so I have to keep it plugged up 24/7, my keyboard went out, as well as the mouse. This will be the second time I've had to have maintenance done to it since 2008, and if the people who sold it to me keep it as long as they did the last time (I won't mention their names *cough BestBuy *cough) it will be at least three weeks before I am able to post again. For those of you who I talk to on a regular basis, we will still be able to do so, however posting will be impossible. Just wanted to let you guys know about my unvolunteered vacation.
Alright! I've spoken enough! Read and roll around in the sexiness that's about to ensue! :D

Rise of the Mandarin
Chapter Fifteen
They stood in the middle of the bedroom, lights out and standing less than a foot away from each other. The only light in the entire room radiated out of Tony's chest through his shirt, casting a faint blue hue across her face. His hands gently held her elbows and her hands rested in the crooks of his arms. Gazing deeply into her eyes he softly pulled on her elbows, bringing her closer to him. He brought her body against his chest, and leaned down to softly nuzzle his nose against her forehead.
Her heart began beating wildly. She closed her eyes, suddenly feeling the emotion overwhelm her. This was the man she loved, and he loved her back, and nothing could get in their way right now. She felt him place a kiss to her forehead, then lightly trailed kisses down her temple and jaw line, all the while lightly scratching her with his facial hair. Her head rolled to one side, giving him better access; then it rolled back slightly, giving him better access to her jaw, neck, and even her lips.
Tony kissed her jaw line, then began kissing the crook between her bottom lip and chin. Slowly, he moved his lips up and placed a hard but passionate kiss on her lips. Her hands immediately trailed up his biceps, to his shoulders, and wrapped her arms around them. Tony's arms wrapped around her waist, pressing her tightly against him. His fingers dug into the small of her back, grabbing the material of her dress, bunching it in his hands as if trying to get her closer. As his lips moved with hers, he loosened his death grip on her dress, and one of his hands slowly moved down and gently cupped her butt.
Pepper gasped against his lips, and leaned back slightly to gaze into his eyes. She unwound her arms from his shoulders, and rubbed her hands down chest then down his stomach. Tony felt his muscles tense, feeling her hands on him through his shirt. Pepper's hands stopped at the waist line of his pants, and dragged her hands along the edge of his waist. Once her hands met in the back, she gently pulled up on his shirt, untucking it from his pants. Once the tail of his shirt came free, she moved her hands underneath the shirt, softly brushing her finger tips against the base of his spine.
Tony shuddered a little, and his eyes rolled closed a moment. He felt slightly light headed, due to the obvious blood loss in his head. His pants were becoming very uncomfortable now, and it took every ounce of strength and self-control he had left to keep from ripping that dress off her body. He needed her desperately now, but he needed to do this at her pace so she could get comfortable with him, and judging by the way she was pulling the rest of his shirt out from his pants, she was getting very comfortable.
Pepper pulled the rest of his shirt free, and reached up to the top button on his shirt. She watched her fingers unbutton each of the buttons, while dragging her fingers down his skin. She came to the portion of his shirt that was right over his arc. She didn't pause or wince; she continued to unbutton the shirt, and dragged her fingers slowly over the arc, and her fingers continued their journey unbuttoning his shirt. She reached the bottom button and dragged her hands slowly back up his chest, pushing it open as she did so. Once the shirt was completely open, she saw the intensity of the arc reactor. She gazed upon it as if hypnotized, and slowly traced her fingers around the edge of the cool metal.
Tony was dying right where he stood. It was glorious torture, but he was almost to the point where couldn't take much more. The arc wasn't covered anymore so its beams shown on her face, and he could watch her as both her eyes and hands trailed down his body. Her hands moved from his arc, and began roaming around his chest. He breathed in and closed his eyes, reveling in the feeling of her hands on him. He then felt two sets of fingers brush across his nipples. His eyes shot open and his hands reached up to the top of her dress. His left hand began pulling the zipper down her back, while his right hand brushed his fingers down the entire length of her spine.
Her hands ceased their movements on his chest as her eyes closed and her entire body shivered with arousal. Slowly her eyes opened, and Tony watched as her pupils dilated, which was the most erotic thing he had ever seen in his entire life. Pepper just kept her hands flat on his chest as his hands moved down her back. He pushed the zipper all the way down to her tail bone, then both of his hands brushed up her back, slowly dragging his fingertips up her skin. Pepper closed her eyes again, this time beginning to dig her nails into his chest. The feel of his hands on her was causing sparks of arousal to go straight to her core. She couldn't take much more herself. She felt his hands come to the clasp of her bra and made quick work of undoing it.
She opened her eyes and gazed into his. The light of his arc was shining of his face as well, and she could see that his pupils had indeed dilated, almost to the point to where she couldn't see the brown in his eyes. She reached up to his shoulders, and began to push his shirt down his arms to rid his body of it. Tony momentarily let go of her and let the shirt fall down to the floor. Just as quickly as he had let her go, his hands were back on her pulling the top of her dress down.
Tony began pulling the top of the dress down her arms, and when he pulled it passed her chest, the strapless bra came off, revealing her breasts to him. He pushed the dress down passed her hips while keeping his eyes on her breasts. Once the dress had pooled at her feet, he placed his hands on her stomach and slowly slid them up to cup both of her breasts in his hands. Pepper's eyes rolled closed and her head fell back. She placed her hands on his shoulders for support, fearing that her now wobbly legs wouldn't be able to support her for much longer. Tony brought his head down and kissed the skin between her breasts, occasionally darting his tongue out to taste the skin. Pepper's breathing quickened as her fingers curled into his shoulder, digging her nails into him.
"Tony," she softly moaned. Hearing his name on her lips like that was almost more than tony could bear. He let go of her breasts, leaned back up to her face, and pressed his lips to hers while pulling her tightly into his arms. Pepper's arms wound around his shoulders again, and held him as tightly to her as she could. Tony loved this feeling, being skin to skin with their naked chests pressed together. He could feel every inch of the soft skin of her chest as he pressed the arc between her breasts. His hands slowly rubbed down her back, drinking in the soft and smooth texture of her skin. Pepper released her mouth from his and began kissing down his neck and over to his shoulder. She placed open-mouthed kisses to it and then rubbed her cheek against it, wanting to touch him as much as she possibly could. Tony moved his face to her neck and inhaled. She smelled good, just like the intoxicating scent of the perfume he had found on the dresser in Hong Kong.
"Tony," she whispered to him. "Bed, please." Tony nodded into her neck, reached down, pulled her legs up and wrapped them around his waist. Her arms tightened around his shoulders as he carried her over to their bed. He climbed onto the bed with his knees and softly put her down in the middle of the bed. He kissed her passionately one more time before leaning back up to look at her. She was so beautiful, bathed in the light of his arc, looking up at him like she wanted him. How he had dreamt about this moment for a long time, how much he had dreamt about it over ten years, and finally it was coming true. He reached down and began pulling on the black silk panties she still had on. His heart felt like it was going to explode in his chest. He slowly dragged her panties down her slender legs, off her feet, and dropped them somewhere beside the bed. Now she was naked head to toe, the real thing was so much better than the fantasy.
Her hair laid scattered around her head like a halo while his hands reached down and cupped her breasts. They fit perfectly into his hands and watched intently as he rolled them with his hands, gently running the pads of his thumbs over her nipples. Feeling Pepper shiver he continued trailing his hands down, lightly running his fingertips over her flat stomach, and down to the almost bare wedge between her legs, save for a few soft red hairs he couldn't help but tease. Pepper quickly sat up and began kissing his stomach. She placed her hands on his thighs and began stroking them, then brought her hands over to his fly and began undoing it.
"Pepper," he softly moaned while placing his hands in her hair. Once his fly was open she gently rubbed him through his boxers as her lips began to move down his stomach and passed his belly button, following the soft trail of hair that led underneath his boxers. "No," he said quickly, pushing her back and leaning down to kiss her lips. "You can do that later, okay? Right now I need you," he whispered against her lips. She nodded and scooted back into the bed, lying down and placing her head on the pillow. Tony held her gaze as she moved back. He pushed both his boxers and pants passed his hips, freeing his impatient erection, and removed his legs from them.
Pepper watched as he slowly crawled over to her. She spread her legs for him and slowly lifted one of her legs, softly rubbing her calf against his hip. Tony grabbed her leg and hooked it around his hip, and softly ran his hand up and down that leg. He leaned down and began kissing her again, this time darting his tongue out and parting her lips. She welcomed his tongue and gently sucked on it while running her tongue against his. Her hands rubbed his arms and shoulders as Tony ran his hands along the side of her stomach, then moved up to cup her shoulders from underneath, trying to pull her more to him. He braced himself on one of his forearms, and reached down with one hand and poised himself at her entrance.
Pepper gasped against his lips, feeling him at her entrance. Tony slowly pushed the tip in, but the feeling of wanting and being inside of her became too much and quickly pushed himself all the way inside of her. Pepper's back arched off the bed as she screamed, her nails digging into his shoulders. Tony gritted his teeth, desperately trying to keep still for a moment. If he didn't pace himself this was going to end real quick. God forbid that happen, especially now since he's finally inside the woman of his dreams. Slowly, Pepper relaxed back onto the bed and looked up to Tony. Sweat was forming on his brow and the expression on his face was strained. Carefully, she leaned up and softly kissed his lips. A sigh of relief washed over Tony as he relaxed a little, and gently pushed her back down to the bed. Pepper's hands released from their death grip on his shoulders and wrapped around his torso; one going to the small of his back and the other to the base of his neck. Tony let go of her lips, and leaned up slightly. He breathed in a couple of times, regaining his focus. He pulled out and thrusted back into her slowly. Pepper's eyes closed, feeling him fill her once again. He pulled back out again and thrusted back in, this time more quickly.
"Oh, Tony," she softly moaned. Tony stopped abruptly and began to breathe deeply. Pepper's eyes shot open and looked up to him, seeing his eyes closed and his face strained again. "What's wrong?" she asked. Tony's eyes slowly opened and looked at her.
"If you keep moaning my name like that this is going to be quick," he grunted back to her. She softly smiled up to him and began running her fingers along the base of his spine.
"We don't need to try to draw it out, this time. We're both on edge enough as it is," she whispered. "Just make love to me right now, and we'll worry about the marathons later." Tony said nothing in reply, except for pulling out and thrusting back inside of her. Pepper's breathing became shallow as he kept up a steady rhythm. Her eyes rolled closed, the pleasure almost becoming too much for her. "Oh," she moaned. The hand that was on Tony's lower back had moved up. Both hands we're clinging to his back, while all her nails dug into his skin. Tony winced feeling the nails almost cut his skin, but the pain quickly melted into pleasure.
"Oh God, Pepper," he whispered to her as his thrusts sped up. Her eyes popped open and one of her hands released from his back and snaked along the mattress, trying to find the edge so she could hang on to something without hurting him. Tony grabbed her wrist and laid her arm back down onto the bed, entwining their fingers and holding her hand as he continued to thrust inside of her. He leaned down slowly and kissed her long and hard.
"Mmm, Tony," she moaned against his mouth. Something inside of Tony snapped and he began thrusting harder, still keeping the same pace. Pepper's breath hitched in her throat as both of her legs wrapped around his waist. "Tony, please," she begged, almost on the verge of losing her mind. Tony kissed down her jaw and over to her ear.
"Come for me, Love," he whispered to her. Pepper screamed in pleasure as her orgasm rippled down her spine; the spasms causing her body to repeatedly convulse. With her back arched, her nails digging into his shoulder, fingers squeezing his, and her muscles contracting around him, Tony couldn't hold on any longer. He buried his face into her neck and a shout escaped his lips as his body tensed. His own orgasm shot down his spine to between his legs, causing his hips to involuntarily thrust against hers repeatedly. He eventually felt her body fall limp down to the mattress and decided to follow suit, but moved his body slightly to the side so he wouldn't crush her. They laid there what seemed like forever, in a mess of sweat and tangled limbs. Tony lifted his body and rolled off of her, still keeping their fingers entwined. He laid his head against the pillow, and placed their entwined hands on top of his chest. He rolled his head to the side to look at her. She was still breathing a little hard and her eyes were still closed. He brought her hand up to his mouth and kissed the top of it.
"Hey," he whispered to her. Her eyes fluttered opened and smiled at him.
"Hey," she whispered back, then closed her eyes again. He smiled and turned his head back up towards the ceiling. They laid there resting and catching their breaths. When he finally heard her breathing level out he turned his head back towards her. Her eyes were open now and she was looking up towards the ceiling. He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. He had never done this before, talk to his partner afterwards. He didn't know what to say, or what he should say. He definitely wasn't going to ask if it was good or not, because he didn't want to seem weak or unsure of his performance; and he wasn't going to look that way in front of Pepper. He opened his mouth again, and this time just let the words come out on their own.
"Wanna do it again?" Pepper smiled and turned her head towards him.
"Absolutely," she replied. Tony laughed at her response, and both of them turned towards each other, wrapping their arms around one another and bringing their lips together.
"I'm gonna need a few minutes to um…" Tony began, looking slightly embarrassed. Pepper smiled.
"I know." Tony nodded and leaned in to kiss her. His hands began roaming up and down her body. One of his hands moved down her back, gently grabbed her butt and squeezed it. "Mmm," she moaned against his lips. Tony then pushed on her shoulders and had her lay down flat on her back. Tony moved on top of her still kissing her lips. "I thought you said you needed a minute?" she asked him. He looked at her and smiled wickedly.
"I can make you scream my name in more than one way, Pepper." Before she could protest, his lips went to her neck and began kissing down her chest. His hands went to her breasts again, and his lips came to the center of her chest, then moving to kiss both sides of her breasts. Pepper's hands went to his shoulders, holding him right beside his neck. She leaned her head up, and watched his lips move all over her skin. Tony's lips moved to her right breast and began kissing around the nipple. He made a complete circle around it, then began sucking on it. Pepper relaxed her head against the pillow and arched her back into his mouth. He slowly sucked on her nipple while he teased the other one with his thumb. He then moved his mouth over to the other breast, and began the same pattern; kissing around the nipple then gently sucking on it while teasing the other one with his thumb. Pepper's skin was on fire, and the ache between her legs was almost unbearable. She breathed in and out, trying to keep control. Tony then moved down to kiss her stomach, then kissed down to her belly button. He kissed around it then plunged his tongue inside of it. He continued passed her belly button and came to the wedge of hair between her legs.
"Tony," she moaned again. A spark of arousal shot through Tony and felt himself grow hard again. He parted her legs with his hand and laid down, moving them to rest on his shoulders. He leaned his head down and began placing kisses on the inside of her thigh, then slowly moved down to the most sensitive part of her. When Pepper realized what he was doing, she lifted her head up and saw his head between her legs. That in itself caused her breathing to quicken, and she laid her head back down to the pillow, shutting her eyes tightly and waiting on edge for what she knew was about to come. Tony laid his head completely on her, and darted his tongue out to lick her clit. Pepper shuddered feeling the tip of his tongue on her. Tony smiled and darted out the entire length of his tongue, running it over her clit.
"Tony!" she moaned louder. Tony pretended not to hear that, and moved his lips over her, beginning to suck on her. Pepper gasped and immediately her hands went into his hair, scratching his scalp and running her fingers through his hair. He continued to lick and suck on her, barely bringing her to the point of orgasm and quickly pulled away. He climbed back up to her and kissed her lips, settling his hips inside of hers again, ready for round two. Pepper wasn't going to give in that easily; she shifted her weight and rolled Tony onto his back. "You said I could do it later. It's later," she whispered to him, and began kissing down his neck.
"But Pepper," Tony began to protest, but Pepper pressed a finger to his lips.
"Shhh, it's later," she said with finality. She kissed his lips this time, then trailed down his neck and down to his chest. Tony sighed and closed his eyes, preparing himself for what she was about to do to him. Pepper moved down to his chest and kissed around his arc while her hands played with both of his nipples. A low moan escaped from his throat and kept his hands beside him on the bed. She moved down his chest and down to his stomach. While kissing down the trail of hair on his stomach, she grabbed his length and began stroking him with her hand.
"Oh God," Tony moaned, feeling her hand on him. She continued stroking him as she kissed at his base and moved her lips up, placing kisses along his length until she reached his tip. Tony held his breath, feeling her lips on him, then he felt her tongue dart out and began swirling it around his tip. Tony's hand grabbed the sheet, afraid to put his hands on her. Then her lips replaced her tongue and took him inside of her mouth. Tony opened his eyes and looked down to her. He watched as her hand stroked him and her lips worked him in and out of her mouth. His eyes rolled back and his head fell back to the pillow. "Pepper," he moaned loudly. He struggled so hard not to snatch her up, but when he felt his release building he had no choice.
He grabbed her arms and pulled her back up to him. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her hard. Pepper then straddled his waist and reached between her legs, grabbing him. Tony gasped against her mouth and Pepper leaned up, guiding him to her. Tony moved his hands to her hips, and held on tightly as she slid down on him and settled her weight on top of him. Tony dug his nails into her hips, feeling himself inside of her for the second time that night. She placed her hands on his shoulders to balance herself and began rocking her hips against his. Tony met every one of her thrusts with one of his own, wanting desperately to hear his name on her lips again.
"Tony," she moaned again. She reached her hands up and combed her hair back with her fingers, giving him one hell of a view of her perky chest. A shiver shot down his spine, and realized he was close. He released one of his hands from her hips and moved it to her clit, tracing circles around it. Pepper gasped at the sensation and her thrusts sped up over his hips. Tony moved both his hips and hand faster, wanting her to come before him. He braced his feet into the mattress and sat himself up, keeping one hand on her back and the other between her legs. He kissed down her neck and sucked on her skin lightly. Pepper felt her body tense and began shuddering repeatedly in his arms. Tony braced her to him, and felt himself spurt inside of her. He wrapped both arms around her tightly as both of them rode out of the aftershocks of their love making. They sat like that for a few moments, slowly coming down from their highs. Tony leaned back, taking her with him, and settled his back against the mattress still inside of her. They laid there for a few moments catching their breath until Pepper shifted, but Tony's grip tightened around her.
"No!" he said quickly. "No, stay," he whispered to her.
"I am staying," she whispered back.
"No, that's not what I mean." He reached his hand down and straightened out one of her legs. He rolled them on to their sides and kept the other leg wrapped around his hip. "This is what I mean," he said, referring to them still wrapped around each other. Pepper nodded in understanding and relaxed in his arms. Tony sighed in contentment for the first time in over a year, and for the first time ever he was genuinely happy. "I love you," he whispered to her. She smiled softly.
"I love you, too."

Pepper wasn't sure how much time had passed when her eyes fluttered open. She hadn't realized she had fallen asleep, but the feeling of his fingers running up and down her back brought her back to consciousness. She saw Tony gazing and smiling at her. They were still in the same position they were when she fell asleep. She leaned forward and kissed him, and with a sigh Tony shifted their position, rolling her onto her back. He laid on top of her once again and began thrusting inside of her. Pepper wrapped her arms around him and braced her hands on his back. Her legs came up to wrap around his waist, and one of his hands went to her knee, holding her as he continued his thrusts. He continued kissing her, occasionally darting his tongue out to taste her mouth. Eventually the pleasure became too much for her and she broke away from his mouth, moaning his name. Tony leaned up on both of his hands and began thrusting as hard as he could without hurting her.
He watched as her body began writhing underneath him; her back arching, her chest heaving, her head rolling back and her eyes closing, not to mention her hands clawing down his back. He continued thrusting, and rolled his hips against hers, adding a little more pressure to her center. She cried out his name, and dug her nails into his back even harder as her muscles began contracting around him. Tony's eyes rolled closed as his own orgasm followed right behind hers. He kept himself braced up on shaky arms, watched her relax and fall limp to the bed. He pulled out of her slowly and moved to the side. He reached down and pulled the sheet over them both. Tony rolled to his side and scooted up behind her, pulling her against his chest and wrapping his arm around her waist.

Pepper's eyes fluttered open to a brightly lit room. She yawned and reached up to rub her eyes. She sat up slightly and looked over her shoulder to the windows. The sun was high in the sky, meaning it was sometime late in the morning. She looked down, and saw Tony still sleeping. His arm was still draped over her waist, so she turned as slowly and gently as she could without disturbing him. She relaxed back onto the bed and just looked at him. A smile grew on her face seeing the peaceful expression on his face. She reached a hand up and gently brushed the hair away from his forehead. She leaned in slowly, and placed a soft kiss on his temple, and began kissing down to his cheek and then to his jaw. She then heard a low moan come from Tony's throat, and both his arms wrapped around her body, shifting them to where her body laid on top on him. His lips closed around hers, kissing her deeply as her fingers combed through his messy hair. After a few moments, she slowly pulled back and smiled down to him.
"Good morning," she said. A wide grin formed on his lips.
"Good morning indeed. I could get used to being woken up like that," he said. Pepper snorted.
"I was trying to be gentle so not to disturb you." She laid a hand on his chest, and laid her chin down on it, looking up to him.
"You didn't disturb me, trust me on that one." They laid there moment in silence, just looking at each other.
"I take it you feel much better now," she said to him. Tony laughed.
"Oh my God, honey, you have no idea." Pepper giggled and leaned up to kiss him lips.
"Oh, you'd be surprised," she said against his lips. He leaned back and just looked at her.
"You know, you're glowing," he said to her. Pepper raised an eyebrow.
"I'm glowing?" she asked, making sure she heard right. Tony nodded his head.
"Yeah. You look like you're so much more relaxed than you did yesterday. I mean, you looked like a woman who's boss was giving you so much grief that you wanted to literally castrate him for being such a jerk." Pepper smiled and crushed her mouth against his to shut him up. "And I'm gonna stop talking now," he mumbled against her lips.
"Mmmhmm," Pepper hummed, and continued to kiss him. "Are you hungry?" She asked, suddenly pulling away from him.
"Yeah, I want more of you," he said with a toothy grin. Pepper rolled her eyes.
"That's not what I meant."
"Yeah, well that's what I meant." He pulled her back down and kissed her again, but then both of them heard the loud rumble come from his stomach and began laughing.
"I thought I would never miss the sound of that," she said, still laughing.
"Okay, so maybe I am a little hungry," he said, shielding his face from embarrassment. Pepper grabbed his hands and moved them away to look at him.
"What would you like for breakfast, I'll cook this time; and no, before you say anything, I am NOT making omelets," she said firmly. Tony snorted and looked up to the ceiling, genuinely thinking about what he wanted.
"Um, I want pancakes. But not just any pancakes, I want chocolate chip pancakes." Pepper's head fell to his shoulder and grunted.
"I should've known," she mumbled against his shoulder.
"You asked me what I wanted, and that's what I want," he said defending himself.
"Alright, alright, chocolate chip pancakes," she repeated, moving off of him and getting out of bed. He watched her naked body walk around the bed in search for her panties. She picked them up, and placed her legs in one at a time, slowly bringing them up and covering herself.
"Uh uh," he began. Pepper turned to look at him. "My house, my rules, therefore no clothes shall be wore in my house today," he said firmly. Pepper laughed and walked over to pick his shirt up off the floor and put her arms through it.
"Tony, I don't cook in the nude," she said, buttoning the shirt.
"Not yet you don't," he replied, wiggling his eyebrows. Pepper narrowed her eyes at him and just shook her head.
"You can come down when you finally get some pants on," she said, turning on her heel towards the bedroom door. Tony watched as those long legs, sticking out of his shirt for that matter, walked out of the bedroom.
