So they were going to talk.
He was in his black boxers, covered in white dressings and red scratches and he was sitting next to him in a black skirt, a crumpled white shirt, her red hair tied back messily. She'd been undressing when he'd called, and had thrown her work clothes back on, tied her hair up in a second and had been out of the door. They were going to talk but Pepper planned for him to do all the talking.
"Why don't you want to have a baby with me?" he asked.
"It's not that I'm against the idea," she said, hesitating over her words, choosing them carefully, "I don't understand why you want to have a baby with me of all people?"
He started to laugh.
"What's so funny?" she asked.
"This isn't about me at all, or having my baby-"
"It is!" she cut in.
"Okay, it's not just about me or having my baby," he corrected himself, "this is about your self esteem."
"My self esteem is perfectly fine."
"No, your confidence is fine, your self esteem is shaky."
"Shaky?"
He nodded and she frowned at him, and went to stand but his hand on her knee stopped her.
"I don't understand why me?"
"Because I love you."
"Oh."
"You didn't know?" he asked.
Of course she didn't know. He'd slept with half of Malibu since she'd been in his employ.
"No," she replied, rubbing her forehead for a moment.
She didn't quite know what to do with that information, never did when it came to Tony Stark's feelings. His actions yes, that was easy, but his feelings were alien to her.
"Oh. Look, I know how to have a...relationship," he said, "I'm not an idiot."
"O-kay."
"I just don't know how to be in love."
She chuckled again, she couldn't help herself. Tony Stark and all his vulnerabilities amused her so, especially when his bravado said different.
So she kissed him.
She wrapped her arms around his shoulders, mindful of his wounds, pulling him close while she kissed him. His lips were rough, and she liked it, and knew she wouldn't need to wear lipstick tomorrow. She kinda liked that idea too. When she pulled away, the bravado was back, and he was smirking, while she was blushing.
She really should've been more insistent that he put some clothes on.
"You don't need to know how to do any of this," she told him.
"I do."
She laughed again.
"You can't learn how to do it, learn how to be in love. It's a ridiculous idea."
"I can try."
"No you can't. And you can't pay anyone to research it either."
"I'm a billionaire, so I can, actually, but I probably shouldn't."
"I stand corrected," she said with a laugh.
"I'll guess I'll just feel my way through," he said, running his hands down her back to her ass.
"Oh my God, how did you ever get laid so much with lines like that?" she said, pulling out of his hold and
"I'm a billionaire," he said. "A genius, handsome-"
"Anyway," she interrupted, "I'm sure Jarvis and Rhodey will help," she said, in the condescending tone she had perfected from working with him. She realised then that their romantic relationship was going to be pretty much the same as their working relationship. She thought that should worry her but it didn't. It comforted her a little.
"So now what?" he asked.
"I was thinking clothes and some food," she said.
"I was thinking we could start on making a baby."
"No," she said sternly, and he laughed then kissed her, and she couldn't help but get caught up in him.
But she had always had more restraint then him. Everyone had more restraint than Tony Stark and she pulled away from him before he pulled her into his lap. Not that she didn't want to climb into his lap, or take him to his bedroom and strip what little clothing he had left on. Her thoughts made her grin, and blush, and she turned away to compose herself.
"What do you want to eat?" she asked, standing up.
"Do you want the obvious answer?" he asked, with a smirk.
"No."
"Then order a pizza."
"Okay. The usual."
She smiled at him but stayed on her feet.
"Jarvis, have Malibu Pizza send over our usual orders."
"Right away Mr. Stark," The AI replied.
"Coming to sit down now?" Tony asked.
"I'm not sure I should," Pepper said.
"Why not?"
"You're only wearing boxers."
"You've seen me in less."
"That doesn't help me Tony," she said with a grin. "I've also seen a lot of your lays naked."
He stood up and walked up to her. He was looking confident from the neck down, his posture free from any embarrassment about his body or the arc reactor. His face was vulnerable again, and he looked like he was working hard to smile.
"I know I don't have the best reputation," he said.
"Tony," she cut in.
"No, let me finish," he said, "I don't have the best reputation, and you know the worst of it."
"I also know the best of it, of you," she cut in again, smiling when he tripped over her words, the vulnerability showing through his entire body.
"Oh," he hesitated, "let me finish," he repeated.
"Okay."
"I know this, we aren't having the best start to this...thing."
"Thing?"
"Relationship," he said, "but we can make it work."
"I don't doubt it."
"Then come and sit down."
"Put some clothes on."
"Come on Pepper," he said, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her, "I could get you off before the the pizza gets here."
"Tony!" she cried. "I don't know what's worse, that you suggested it or that it's probably true."
"Definitely true," he said.
She blushed and he smirked, going to kiss her again and groaning when she moved away.
"We still have things to talk about."
"Do they need talking about right now?" he asked.
"No, but it's important, we can't work together and sleep together, without some sort of...discussion about how things should work between us."
"Probably," he said, pulling her close to him, so their bodies were touching again, and she could feel the beginnings of his erection against her. "I'm sure you have all sorts of boring rules formulating in your mind about what to do and where, how to act and when," he said, kissing her hard and spinning her around, urging her back towards the sofa.
She let him, dropping down on the cushions when the back of her legs hit them. He stood over, his grin disappearing when Jarvis spoke.
"Your pizza order has arrived Mr. Stark."
"Fuck."
"Not yet," she said with a laugh.
"Very funny Pepper," he said, "go get the pizza."
"Right away Mr. Stark."
