together. ⁽ ᵃᵘᵗᵒᵖˡᵃʸ ⁾

[freckledboss]

pepper is quick to seek the present out, her eyes land upon the box and she gladly takes it when offered. though delicately, she removes the lid and a gasp escapes passed her lips.

“ oh tony it’s beautiful, this must have cost a fortune! “

She sets the gift box on his desk and pulls out the silk gown, the material is so smooth, it’s like water gliding across her skin. the color is lovely as well and she’s already fallen in love with the dress. 

“ i assume you want me to wear it tonight? i’ll need to shower first, i’d hate to damage this in any way. “

[metalliciisms-blog]

the excitement on her face makes all of it worth it, all of the trouble he’d gone through to get this dress for  her. 

     “ it was worth it, pep. so worth it. and yes, tonight. i’ve got things planned       for us. great food... clothes... “

but tony takes the dress from her and sets it back in the box, pulling her in close again so that he’s able to press a soft kiss to her lips.

     “ i’ve missed you today. “

[freckledboss]

a part of her feels as though she owes him her mind and body, not for just the endless gifts, but for his undying determination to keep her safe and alive. it was tony who saved her after the war ended, he provided shelter and protection. in a place where people would kill to steal the clothes off of someone’s back, tony stark offered her a helping hand. since then she’s devoted herself to him, working for him as she once did and being the companion he needs, its the least she can do. so it comes as no surprise when she often gives him a reply he’ll want to hear.

“ my schedule is clear for the evening. “

[metalliciisms-blog]

he appreciates all that she does, more than she’ll ever know, and tony tries hard to show her that much in ev- erything he does. 

     “ perfect... right this way, miss potts. “

he’ll abandon her behind to grab her hand in one of his, pulling her towards his desk so that she’s standing be- side it with him. leaning over, tony grabs the box up a- nd holds it up for her to open, an excited look coming  over him as he awaits her to open it.

[freckledboss]

pepper isn’t the type to accept so many gifts, not nearly as much as he gives her. it isn’t because she thinks herself unworthy, but rather where they stood relationship wise before the war. the tony she knew then wouldn’t have showered her with gifts if he wasn’t expecting a little something extra in return. thankfully those times have changed and now she’s rather excited to receive gifts from him, it’s selfish of her, but the things he’s able to find and purchase are near extinct in this day and age. it brings a smile to her face to see familiar items once again, to remember how the world used to be. 

“ perhaps… “

[metalliciisms-blog]

he’s hardly shy in showing her his affection, wanting her to know exactly how highly he holds her. she’s his trophy, though not in s- uch a way that that’s all she is ( for pepper potts is MUCH more t- han a simple trophy ), and he wants the world, what’s left of it, to be jealous. hands grasping her a bit more greedily, he’ll go on.

     “ you’re not busy tonight, are you? “

[freckledboss]

pepper had been making her way down the corridor when her name was announced over the intercom. she halted from moving any further and turned in the opposite direction. the strawberry blonde was swift, but graceful in her strides down the hallway towards his office. people would turn and steal a glimpse at the beauty walking by, Pepper wouldn’t consider herself such a diamond in the rough, but she was groomed far better than most and had items at her disposal that is extremely hard to come by, such as, perfume, hair products, make up and elegant attire. some days she felt like a doll, being dressed up to look nice and placed on a shelf for all of the world to gaze upon. pepper wasn’t such an object, she wasn’t anyone’s property, except Tony’s. she was his possession and everyone knew it.

“ did you need something? “

[metalliciisms-blog]

he hardly has to wait long for her presence to grace him, and his head lifts as soon as she enters his office. with a smile forming on lips immediately, tony stands and st- eps around his desk.

     “ sort of. i’ve got a present for you. “

it’s in a box behind his desk, in a place only he can see, but he draws nearer to the beautiful strawberry blonde w- ithout further thought. wrapping arms around her waist, h- is hands will settle at the small of her back, fingertips br- ushing the curve of her rear.

     “ you in the mood for a surprise? “

[metalliciisms-blog]

@yourpinchofpepper​

he’s just made a deal for a dress for pepper, one that’ll be perfect for the dinner he’s had planned f- or them for WEEKS now. he’s had to woo a rath- er attractive woman to get the gown, but it’s hard- ly a fact that matters. not anymore. times are ch- anged and things are different, and trust must be made and maintained; he’s lucky pepper is so u- nderstanding, especially when it comes to maki- ng such deals with the men and women he has t- o in order to keep them both alive and thriving.

     “ hey, potts, come to my office. “

his voice is heard over the intercom, his finger p- ressed against the microphone at his desk before he lets up and relaxes in his chair, looking over a new blueprint he’s just drawn up to expand their b- uilding. 

[metalliciisms-blog]

hi, i love your old money theme, and I was just wondering if you could tell me what size you used for the background image?

i make my images 1400x684!

[freckledboss]

one of her most sensitive areas is her neck; kiss the skin just right and you’ll have her practically begging to be pleasured, and she’s sure he knows this, that’s why he went directly there or so she assumes. 

“ dominate me. tie me up, throw me onto the bed and take me from behind, make me beg, i don’t care what you do, just show me who’s boss. “

[metalliciisms-blog]

it’s not completely like pepper to make such vulgar and daring requests, but he finds himself loving it nonethel- ess. with a soft groan, he’ll roll his hips against her bac- kside before nipping one last time at her neck and then spinning her so that his hands can quickly make work o- f unbuttoning her top and pulling it from her frame. tugg- ing her in close, though, tony’s greedily taking her lips w- ith his and pushing his tongue past her lips as his hand- s settle at the small of her back with fingertips brushing just over the curve of her bottom.

     “ tell me who your boss is, potts. i want you to SAY it. “

[freckledboss]

“ fine. i’ve had my fill anyway. “

pepper sets her utensils down and stands from her chair to walk towards the back of the plane. 

[metalliciisms-blog]

that brings a wide grin into place, tony standing up not two seconds before her, but following her nonetheless. 

     “ you wanting me to do anything special tonight, babe? “

tony wraps his arms around her from behind as soon as t- hey close the door behind them, lips pressing to her neck almost greedily; it had been too long.

[freckledboss]

“ right now? but you haven’t finished dinner. “

pepper bites her lower lip and can’t stop the erotic visuals that are beginning to flood her mind.

[metalliciisms-blog]

tony shrugs, already setting his fork and knife on his plate before going on.

     “ i’m hungry, potts... “

now he’s ‘whining.’

[freckledboss]

she feels her cheeks blushing and she’s not sure if its the wine or Tony’s question.

“ i thought we already established that, remember? you complained that i sprung the news of leaving last minute and after you said you wanted to come along, i said we could have some adult fun on the plane. “

[metalliciisms-blog]

can it not be both?

     “ well maybe i want to cash in on that now. actual dessert can be eaten       later. my appetite is for something other than food. “

[freckledboss]

“ well i had cheese cake ordered.. what other kind of dessert is there other than food? “

pepper lifts her glass of wine and takes a sip before continuing with eating. 

[metalliciisms-blog]

he watches her with narrowed eyes, grinning as he too sips at the fine glass of wine. quirking a brow, tony responds.

     “ more of a physical kind, i think. what do you have to say about that? “

[freckledboss]

“ yes, i know steak is one of your favorites, so i made sure it was on the menu for tonight. “

she picks up her fork and knife and beings cutting the meat into tiny bite sized portions. pepper then takes a bite and starts eating from every food choice on her plate.

“ there is dessert if you’re still hungry afterwards. “

[metalliciisms-blog]

tony follows suit without a second thought, eating just a tad more eagerly than pepper. with a much more calm air abo- ut him, he finds himself smiling at the words that follow.

     “ what kind of dessert are we talking? “

[freckledboss]

pepper exits the car and walks ahead onto the plane. she spots their dinner laid out on the table and proceeds to take her seat. both plates are full with the finest steak, cooked to perfection and accompanying it are steamed potatoes with rosemary and asparagus. the delicious smell causes her stomach to rumble, but she doesn’t eat just yet, she decides to be polite and waits for Tony.

[metalliciisms-blog]

it doesn’t take tony long to settle their luggage inside the jet, the engineer having to force himself to ignore the initial sig- ht of the steak, potatoes, and the likes. it’s been awhile sinc- e he’s had such an extravagant meal, since pepper is norm- ally at work late, and he’s left to his own devices ( aka orde- red food or microwavable meals ). but now that he’s finishe- d, tony sits down at the table with pepper. he takes note tha- t she hasn’t started without him, and it’s appreciated.

     “ it looks delicious, doesn’t it? “

his tone is a bit strained still, but at least he looks up at her with thoughtful eyes, anyways.

[freckledboss]

“ it’s unique and i tend to admire things such as this, you already know my fondness of antiques, this should come as no surprise. believe me if you want to or don’t, it doesn’t matter. this trinket is of no sentimental value to me. “

[metalliciisms-blog]

he scoffs, shaking his head but forcing himself to bite his tongue. tony knows he’ll only make it worse, relief washi- ng over him as the airport comes into view, his private je- t doing the same just seconds after. 

     “ whatever you say. “

parking, he’s removing the keys from the ignition before climbing out of the vehicle, only to walk to the back of th- e car to remove their luggage and begin his trek to the p- rivate airplane.

[freckledboss]

‘ tony this hardly worth getting jealous over, it’s just a bracelet. besides, i’m only wearing it for the gala and then it’ll be off and most likely never worn again. “

[metalliciisms-blog]

he snorts at that, making a right turn; they’re almost to the airport.

     “ you’re practically fingering it right now, potts. what makes you think i’m      going to believe you’ll take it off anytime soon? “

it’s just like tony to overreact to such a small thing, bu- t being in a relationship, a commited one, is something he’s still getting used to. he’s possessive because of it. unsure because of it.

[freckledboss]

“ it was a gift from the client, i thought it would be rude not to wear it. it does look as though it cost a fortune, i believe this is solid gold. “

pepper runs her fingers over the slim piece of jewelry as she speaks, admiring the craftsmanship, it must be an original, the design is like nothing she’s seen before. 

[metalliciisms-blog]

his jaw is set upon hearing such an articulation, the man’s hands once more curling even more firmly into the steeri- ng wheel. 

     “ you hardly even wear the jewelry i buy you, pepper. “

tony’s voice is strained, the engineer picking up speed ev- er so slightly.

[freckledboss]

“ in about thirty minutes. dinner is already being prepared and i’m starved, so if you could hurry, that would be great. “

she relaxes into the seat and glances down at the bracelet. 

[metalliciisms-blog]

tony doesn’t respond verbally, though admittedly he’s a bit put off by her tone and words. she’s being short with him suddenly, and he’s not sure why. however, he kno- ws better than to push her, instead opting to nod before going silent for the next few minutes. that’s when he no- tices her fumbling with her bracelet, though, gaze flick- ering to it before focusing back on the road.

     “ where’d you get that? “

he gestures to her wrist with a movement of his head.
