I'm not entirely sure what to call whatever it's we do.

So I'll start at the beginning. Maybe you'll understand it better.

If only I had known how drastically this compulsive decision would change my life.

It had been a late night in the lab with Tony, keeping him company as he tinkered away on his latest invention.

'He seems stressed," She thought discontentedly, 'that makes two of us I guess.'

(You see it will be my next thought that started everything)

'Poor Tony, what he needs is something to relieve his tension,' she thought, 'for that matter I could do with something to relieve my stress as well'.

Suddenly an epiphany explodes into her mind, though it was almost entirely ignited by her hormones.

She knew what she needed to do.

What she wanted to do mutually benefited Tony and herself, even if it wasn't the most appropriate way of going about it.

She can honestly say that she couldn't control herself when she started this plan. Ugh fine that's a complete and total lie, you caught her, she simply didn't WANT to control herself and so she didn't.

So with a knot in her stomach that had more to do with a need that had been left unsatisfied for far too long, than with nervousness she stood up from her perch on the data console and stole a calming breath before unbuttoning the top of her blouse.

Glancing over at her target she was relieved to see him still focused on the armor, allowing her to finish her last touches. She hurriedly brushed her hair and applied some of the strawberry paradise lipstick that Tony had complimented when she first wore it last week.

With one last calming breath she hiked her skirt up, while swiftly sliding her knee length leggings off. Once she stashed the leggings in her bag with her sandals, she began her short walk over to her target talking confidence into her actions to stop her from quitting before she had even started.

"Tony can I talk to you about something," She asked her breathing shallow.

"Sure, Pepper one sec," Tony answered as he shut off his blow torch and flipped up the face mask, "What do you want to talk about." As soon as he finished the sentence he turned away from the armor and towards her to find her rather closer than he expected causing his breath to catch in his throat. Immediately his brain recognized several things about her that were slightly different yet caused blaring alarms to go off in his quick mind.

First he noticed that an unusual amount of cleavage was showing and that her normal leggings were missing, that fact being exasperated by the fact that her skirt was considerably higher on her thighs, exposing quite a bit of creamy-white toned legs. Last but not least his mind registered that she was wearing an irresistible shade of lipstick that may as well be screaming 'come hither'.

"You seem tense, Tony," she answered, her nervousness unexpectedly disappearing. With a coy smile she side-stepped him and positioned herself behind him, her hand trailing along his shoulder.

"I could help with that," she continued both her hand began kneading the taught muscles on his shoulders sensuously.

"W-What do you mean?" Tony queried, her closeness affecting his ability to think.

"You know exactly what I mean," she whispered into his ear, her warm breath was tickling his sensitive flesh, causing him to give a slight moan of pleasure. A small smile graced her lips as she leaned forward incensed and kissed the erroneous spot behind the ear.

"P-Pepper um uh, I'm not sure it's safe for us to have any kind of relationship," he began. Small gasps interrupted his sentence as she continued to nibble his ear and massage his muscular shoulders. At this point she had pushed him down into the chair Rhodey had brought down from the loft, "If my enemies found out you were my girlfriend they'd go after you."

"Yes, I know, but you see this doesn't need to be a relationship. In fact no one needs to know we are doing this," she reasoned seductively, "We both lead rather stressful lives and I see no reason why we can't simply relieve some of that tension every once in a while."

"You mean friends with benefits?" he asked surprise and a small amount of disappointment evident in his voice.

"Something to that effect, and because no one but us knows about it there is no danger from your enemies and we still get to enjoy ourselves," she replied, the anticipation was starting to get to her.

"If we do this I have one condition," Tony responded.

"Of course, anything you want," Pepper said a smile hugging her lips.

"You can't see other guys," he answered.

This surprised her.

Was Tony really the type of guy that wouldn't let other guys touch a girl he was with even if they weren't dating? Her hands stilled and she walked over to the console, leaning against it with her hands. She loved Tony but if he really thought that he was gonna fuck her then have sex with every other girl he met and then tell her that she couldn't be with others, then he wasn't the man she thought he was.

During her thoughts Tony stood up from the chair she had pushed him into and strode over to the obviously pissed red-head. He placed his chin her shoulder and began kissing her neck, his arms slipping around her waist and pulling her back flush with his body.

"Of course I wouldn't be seeing any other girls either," he whispered into her ear and smiling as he felt her tense body relax at his words.

"That sounds an awful lot like a relationship to me and I thought we agreed that would be dangerous," Pepper sighed relaxing into his arms.

"It would be a relationship, only it would be secret for your safety," he replied between each kiss of her neck as he slowly turned her around to face him.

"Your safety is the highest priority, we'll act like friends in public and in private we'll be together," he continued, "We won't even tell Rhodey it'll be our little secret. That way it'll be less likely to slip out and get you hurt."

"That sounds good. I think I like the idea it sounds so…so sneaky," she giggles, "that and the fact that Whitney can't get her hands on you now tha‑"

Before she could finish the sentence, he pressed his lips to hers, capturing them in a heated battle. As soon as she opened her mouth to take a breath, he let her have a quick one, before slipping his tongue in between her parted lips and tasting her sweetness. His actions elicited an aroused moan from her and their tongues began dancing a passionate tango.

Her legs wrapped tightly around his waist removing all space from between them. Acting on their own accord her hands found their way to the bare skin beneath his shirt, once he realized her goal he complied by lifting his arms and allowing her to remove the garment.

By this time she could feel the rather pronounced hard-on through his jeans. Shuddering with pleasure she began grinding against him causing both of them to moan and their movements to quicken.

Using one hand to hold her against him he utilized the other to pull the last of the buttons from their holes upon her shirt. Finally free of her upper garment he slipped his hand beneath the magenta material of the bra giving each breast a gentle squeeze. From the way they fit in his hand he could say they were a nice perky B cup. Reluctantly he removed his hand from their little heaven and moved behind her back, to quickly fiddle and unclasp the hooks of the bra. After a moment his efforts were rewarded when the bra loosened and he was able to remove it entirely leaving both their upper halves bare.

Without hesitating even for a moment Tony bent forward and sucked one of the pert nipples into his eager mouth, causing Pepper to gasp noisily with pleasure and he continued onto the next this time giving it a little nibble. While his mouth was occupied his hand found their way to her bare thighs and slide up her skirt until his searching finger tips found a surprise. Feeling further he realized that she was not wearing an innocent pair of girl panties as he expected but instead was wearing a rather silky thong.

His hesitation brought Pepper back to reality with a knowing smile. Reaching down with a giggle, she pushed Tony far enough away to let her stand up and sexily shimmy a silk magenta thong down her legs.

Before he could react, she pulled him back towards her and tucked the scrap of lingerie into the pocket of his jeans.

"A souvenir if you will," she laughed before kneeling down and beginning to unbutton the jeans of those very same pants she'd just placed the prize in. Within seconds the jeans were kicked off and a small hand was working a pair of black boxers off a muscular waist. Once divested of it, his hard length sprang eagerly out, throbbing slightly.

Wrapping her petite hand around the base of his seven inch cock she bent forward and kissed the head of his erection. Above her head a satisfied moan was released causing her to look up right as she took him into her mouth and began bobbing rhythmically. Soon after she started, Tony had closed his eyes and placed a hand in her hair to help guide her movements. Cupping his balls she gently squeezed noticing the tightening, she readied for the load with aroused anticipation.

Removing both her hands to brace herself on his waist Tony thrust forward deep into her throat causing her to gag slightly as he came splashing deep.

"Fuuuuck," he gasped as her esophageal muscles contracted around him. Looking down as he pulled out of her mouth he saw Peppers lips still closed around him causing a distinctive 'pop' turning him on even more.

Pulling her back up he lifted her up and let her wrap her legs around his waist as he pushed them against the console and began thoroughly kissing his flavor from her mouth. God, it was erotic tasting himself in her mouth.

After another couple minutes of this heavy pawing and kissing he was erect and ready again.

"You sure, you're ready for this?" he asked, "I'll understand if you're not."

Panting heavily, her chest heaving she was blunt.

"Stop talking and start fucking," she gasped.

Being unusually obedient he guided his member passed the trimmed landing strip and into her glistening slit.

"FUCK, God you feel amazing," only half way in and the silky tight heat was ecstasy, "Crap I almost forgot am I hurting you?" God he felt like the world's biggest jerk.

"I'm fine I broke it when I was eight horseback riding," Pepper said stopping him from worrying. Thank god he thought, knowing she was talking about her hymen.

"Start moving again and I'll be quite a bit happier."

Eagerly he complied and began thrusting quickly in and out, each pass allowing him deeper and coating him with hot juices.

It was as if a satin fist was enveloping his member over and over again.

"uh, uh, uh GOD faster oh FUCK," Pepper yelped in ecstasy, "Harder, GOOD GOD HAR-HARDER. OH OH OH FUUUCKKK YESSSSS," she came screaming, contracting around him hard, her head falling back as she shuddered and rode out her release around his twitching cock. He continued pumping slightly to let her finish off completely.

"Pep, baby um I gotta pull out I'm not wearing a condom," he told her causing her eyes to widen and then smile nodding in understanding. A small part of him, well not so small actually wanted to stay in that deliciously tight heaven forever but he knew he had to stop or the consequences might be too much for him to handle just yet. As he slid out Pepper noticed the look of slight disappointment, so she smiled and bent down again taking him back in her mouth and giving him several good sucks until he erupted into her mouth and she licked him clean.

Once they were both sufficiently cleaned and dressed Tony wrapped his arms around her pulling her in for a searing kiss.

"It's late I'll see you tomorrow," he said.

"Remember don't tell anyone not even Rhodey, we can't chance this getting out, or it could be disastrous and when I see you tomorrow act normal like nothing happened."

"Alright, Pepper but before you go I just want to tell you that I really like you and not just because of tonight, I liked you before that. For quite a while before that actually," Tony confessed.

An adorable smile appeared across lips, "I was just about to say the exact same thing."

To make sure no one became suspicious Tony waited fifteen minutes after Pepper left before he ventured out of the hidden laboratory and back towards Rhodey's house.

Reaching the front door he checked his watch and sighed,' geez Roberta wasn't gonna be happy, he was three hours past his ten o'clock curfew'.

Turning the key in the lock, he stumbled slightly in the dark and walked into the foyer quietly closing the door behind him. As softly as possible, he tip-toed through the dark living room and was almost to the hallway when a light switched on behind him revealing a rather pissed Roberta in a bathrobe.

"Where were you," Roberta asked briskly.

"Uh, I was working on some homework. I guess I lost track of time sorry," he said starting to walk toward the hallway again.

"What's that in your pocket," she asked noticing the sheen of the magenta silk in his pocket.

Crap

"Just a special cloth I've been working on, um you know sorta of like a bullet proof cloth," he replied hoping it would work.

"Really, can I see it," Roberta asked suspicion evident in her voice.

"I'd prefer you didn't it's not finished ye-"

"Tony come here," Roberta interrupted him brusquely, her tone causing him to trudge over to her the recliner she was sitting in. "Put your hands above your head." He did so nervousness now apparent on his face. Before Roberta could continue a groggy Rhodey appeared in the entrance of the hallway.

"What's going on I heard arguing," Rhodey asked rubbing the back of his neck with his hand and stretching with the other.

"We are about to find out the mystery material that is hidden in Tony's pocket," Roberta replied.

"Now Tony I'm going to give you one chance please be truthful, is it drugs? Is that why you've been skipping school and coming home late?"

"Uhhh what, no of course not! I'm not on drugs," Tony quickly said surprised she would jumped to that conclusion.

"Fine, now if I find out that you lied to me and have marijuana or cocaine in your pocket I swear to god Tony, I am sending you to rehab," Roberta announced. Reaching forward she plucked the pinkish red material from his pocket and held the balled up silk in her hand.

Carefully unfolding the material to make sure it didn't have any drugs enfolded within it she ended with the result of the thong being stretch out between her two hands as a very recognizable piece of lingerie.

"Niiice, dude….I mean you should be more responsible Tony," Rhodey quickly covered his compliment for the sake of his mother's sanity.

"Ok I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that. All right, ok, geez uh. Here goes. I understand that you are a growing young man and that you have urges but I have to ask…did you at least use protection."

"uhhhh no."

"OH GOD," Roberta was twitching and on the verge of hyperventilating as she handed him back the thong, "FINE, you know what it's alright just go to bed we'll deal with it if it happens."

With the crisis over Tony followed a stunned Rhodey into the hallway, "Uh I'm gonna grab a shower see ya in the morning."

"Wait dude, can you at least tell me who it was," Rhodey asked his best friend hoping for juicy details.

"No idea didn't catch her name," Tony lied a sheepish smile crossing his face but not for the reason his friend thought.

"HA! you dog you!"

"I can HEAR YOU, you know and as your mother I do not need these images! GO TO BED!" Roberta's voice echoed from the master bedroom.
