“She pretty much made her decision, Jarvis.”

“I know that, sir. But isn’t it wiser to announce her of your intentions?”

“She might appreciate it, yes.” Tony mumbles from beneath the hot rod. “But it’s not necessarily - at least not just yet.”

The past two weeks have been ecstatic in his opinion and he knows that Pepper thinks the same.

This morning Tony woke up at six and headed straight to the workshop. He wasn’t really greedy to start working on some new project because his mind always wandered towards his girlfriend. He could barely wait until he could actually be in private with her.

It was still a bit awkward, but he knew it wasn’t that easy to manage to pass through all those little bumps - flirting with her went rather well now, but there were times when even if he wanted to kiss her, Pepper would turn her head away from him and blush. The desire to just make her understand that it’s really okay and that he isn’t going to cheat on her is far stronger than any other things.

But as much as he desired her, there were other things that were his top priority. His mansion was still half-wrecked from the battle with Whiplash and the Black Widow, and it needed to be repaired as soon as possible due to thunderstorms which were more active in this part of the year.

He didn’t want to be struck by a lightening now when his relationship with Pepper was going on so well…

He’d told Jarvis to set something up with the best team of architects from LA and unfortunately the meeting was today. He had been quite angry when he first heard it because he had planned that day for Pepper and him, specifically.

“There are only one way to impress this woman,” Tony whispers to himself. “-and I’m going to put all my energy and strength into impressing her.”

It had been a challenge, but finally, he had managed to convince her to take some time off. When she’d asked him why, he simply shrugged and told her that she worked herself too hard, and that he wanted to spend some more time with her. Then again, she raised an eyebrow and studied him very carefully - but when she opened her mouth to protest he kissed her gently.

She stopped arguing then.

It took him a total of seventeen minutes to call the pilot of his private jet and inform him about their destination. He’d grumbled at first, not knowing why in hell his boss called him at half past six in the morning, but complied nonetheless when he threatened to fire him if he didn’t cooperate.

Another three calls later and another half an hour, maybe, he was all set. Three of the best cars he’d chosen were sent to his mansion there, complete with his yacht. It would take them three weeks maybe to come back home from that paradise place.

He wouldn’t argue with that if - and it was a big IF - they would spend most of their time in bed.

At least he hoped so.

Four days later he’s taking one more look at himself in the car’s rear view mirror before he gets out of his Audi and heads towards Pepper’s apartment. He stuffs his keys in the pocket of his jeans and chews at his bubble gum nonchalantly. He tries to appear nonchalant, but he’s a tad nervous and blinks several times like a deer in the headlights when the door of her apartment opens. She looks stunning, he has to admit that.

“And here I thought you were the one who was trying to impress me.” Pepper says and looks into his eyes, and he can swear he sees a mischievous glint in her own.

“I am.” He agrees gently and swallows the sudden lump of nervousness from his throat.

They look at each other in awkward silence for a couple of seconds before he stutters out. “Um… do you need any help with your luggage?”

“Sure.” She smirks at him.

The rest of the road till the airport they enjoy the presence of each other by kissing occasionally and talking about their day and such. It’s less awkward than the previous week and he’s happy about it.

“Where are you taking me?” She asks him and he freezes. She eyes him suspiciously then and decides to ask him. “I hope it’s not Alaska again because I remember that one pretty well.”

He stares at the plane on the runway for a couple of seconds before he brings his attention back to her.

“No. I’m so not taking you there any time soon.” He remembers that time pretty well, as well. “And no, it’s not going to be as freezing as Alaska is. We’re going somewhere where the temperatures beneath zero degrees are really out of discussion this time of the year.”

“Such as?” She looks really determined to know, but he’s not going to give up that easily.

He shakes his head and bites the inside of his cheek. His handsome features are even lovelier in the light coming from the moon.

“Hm?” She tries again, but without any result, so she tries something different.

He closes his eyes and jerks when he feels a warm hand stroking his thigh.

“Europe.” He groans out and pushes her hand away half-heartedly. This doesn’t mean he doesn’t want her stroking his thigh - he just doesn’t want to get a hard-on because he knows how sensitive he really is.

Especially now…

Pepper sighs and looks at him, mouth half opened. She can’t believe that he’d pushed her hand away. He never resists to what he truly wants.

It’s a good thing, she thinks. Maybe he really wants a solid relationship after-all.

The first thing she notices when they arrive in “Europe” is the cloudless sky and a large field covered with small red flowers. She looks at Tony and smiles a bit when she realizes that he isn’t looking at her. His eyes drift towards hers after a few seconds and she smiles even more when he says this.

“Told you it’s not Alaska…”

He brings his hand near hers and at first Pepper thinks that he wants to take her hand, but he doesn’t. Instead he winks at her, unbuckles himself and heads towards the cockpit.

She smirks and looks outside the small window once more.

She recognizes the country as Italy when they pass through a small town because she sees an announcement inside a store. It wasn’t so hard to guess what the announcement said because below it was translated into English. It said: Welcome to Tuscany.

Her heart is beating so fast when she looks once again at Tony. This time she finds that he’d been staring at her the whole road. She wants to say something - wants to thank him because it’s been more than two years since she’d been on a vacation somewhere. Instead of thanking him she leans in and presses a light kiss on his cheek.

He looks pleased when she rests her head on his shoulder and she shivers a little when he wraps his arm around her shoulders. The rest of the journey takes between an hour and an hour and a half, and by the time they arrive at his country house she’s asleep. He doesn’t want to disturb her so as gently as he can he picks her up and carries her inside.

Tony swallows and wipes at his damp forehead with his sleeve. He looks around and spots the stairs. As gently as he can, with small steps he takes her to the second floor where the bedrooms are and settles her onto a large bed.

The bed is in the center of the room and above it there are some windows. The balcony is a little too small, but it has the second best scenery from there. His bedroom held the best scenery in the house.

He leaves the room without making any noise and heads downstairs. There is a young man waiting for him with a professional smile etched on his face.

“Good morning, Mr. Stark. My name is Paolo Giovanni and I’ve been sent to help you.”

“Hey there, Italian guy. Would you mind moving these things inside?” Tony jokes.

“Sure thing.”

Tony looks around him and sighs in amazement. How many years have passed since he’d been here he isn’t sure. The scenery is amazing. Behind him there were large yellow fields and high trees. In front of him there was a deep blue sea. It really was amazing.

He takes a deep breath and goes back inside, wanting to get rid of his shirt and jeans. The hot temperature made him pick some shorts and a thin t-shirt and on the way downstairs he stops by Pepper’s bedroom. He notices that she’s still sleeping and he decides to let her sleep some more. The flight was really tiresome and he needs some sleep as well, but he’s determined to wait till tonight.

Paolo is filling the pool when Tony appears behind him and scares him half to death. The thin man falls into the water with a startled yelp and swears something in Italian. Tony isn’t sure whether he made him a goose or an asshole, but he decides to ignore it.

“I’m so sorry.” Tony mumbles with a tone of laughter in his voice. “Do you need some help?”

“No!” He mutters fiercely and swims awkwardly till the edge of the pool.

“Very well, then.” Tony turns away from him and breaks out in hysterical laughter when he hears him sneeze.

He speeds up his steps when he hears him sneeze for four more times and he’s sure he’s never needed the bathroom as much as she does now.

Pepper appears in the doorway and rubs at her eyes tiredly.

“Tony?” She asks when she sees him so hurried.

“Oh, hi.” He stutters and crosses his legs deliberately. “You up already?”

“I - yeah, I am. What are you doing?” She snaps when he runs away from her.

“Need to pee!” He shrieks and ducks into one of the bathrooms downstairs.

Pepper looks confused at the bathroom door for a few minutes until Tony gets out looking more relieved than ever and even more so when he takes her in his arms. She freezes a bit, but relaxes after a couple of seconds and rests her head on his chest, feeling his heart beat.

“It’s beautiful, Tony.” She whispers softly into his chest.

“You’re beautiful.” He says and tilts her chin up with two fingers so that he can kiss her.

His lips are warm, wet and perfect and a little moan escapes her throat when he pushes her against the wall. Her hands come instantly into his messy hair and twist in it, revealing in the subtle smell of his shampoo which invades her nostrils when he kisses the side of her jaw.

A shiver breaks through her when he presses himself fully against her and she feels without any doubt the fact that he’s hard against her hip. She gasps when his rough hands slip inside her tank top and part of her wants nothing more than to pin him to the other wall and have her way with him, but the sound of a throat being cleared reaches her ears and she pulls away from Tony quickly, but stands in front of him, covering his erection.

“What do you want?” Tony barks at the young man, his voice deep and hoarse.

“My job’s done for today. I will be back tomorrow at nine.”

“Great.” Pepper whispers faintly and closes her eyes when she feels her boyfriend’s breath on the back of her neck.

The man whistles and exits the hall.

“Where were we?” Tony asks and cups one of her breasts with his hand.

“Upstairs.” She whispers and he’s not entirely sure she knows what she just said.

“Are you - are you really sure?” He asks again, feeling that little tremor of arousal in his lower belly.
