Chapter 10

They entered the club and found a table in the left corner between one of the bars and the dance floor. They sat down and listened to the music. Timothy went and ordered drinks, vodka-orange for Katrin, whiskey on the rocks for Tony and Rhodey and a vodka martini, very dry and a lot of olives for Pepper. The group must have a very bad influence on Tim, because he drank a martini too and brought tequilas for everyone. They took their drinks and downed their tequilas. A new song started Don't you worry, child by Swedish House Mafia and Katrin tried to pull Pepper on the dance floor. "Come on Pep, let's dance."

"No I made a fool out of me yesterday. I don't want to and can't dance."

"Ohhh come on Pep. Let go for one night." Katrin whined and pulled Pepper up and started to push her towards the dance floor.

"I let go yesterday and you know how it ended." She said through gritted teeth.

"Oh as if you are really complaining to wake up next to your Tony Stark." Pepper blushed at her words and pursed her lips, walking past her and got on the floor.

"So dancing or not?" She asked and Katrin followed her, knowing she was right about Peppers feelings.

"What was it a few minutes ago with your hands? Outside."

"Ehhh, I don't know. Pleas can we change the subject? What is it with Rhodey and you?" Pepper smirked at Katrin. She had seen the looks the two exchanged along the evening and now it was Katrin's turn to blush.

"Nothing." Was her single statement.

"Nothing? Ya sure?"

"I like him. Don't know. No big deal." Katrin shrugged and started to dance. Her hands over her head, moving her hips and grinning at Pepper to make her dance too.

Don't you worry, don't you worry, child. See heaven's got a plan for you. Don't you worry, don't you worry now.

Slowly Pepper started to dance, too. Katrin was utterly within the rhythm and shook her head, her hips and sung with the song. Seeing Katrin this way, neither of them with a lot of alcohol in their system made Pepper wondered how she could be so laid back and relaxed. Pepper tried to dance by herself, but she wasn't comfortable and only swayed to the beat, not dancing. As Rhodey came over and started to dance with Katrin in a very, very hot and naughty way Pepper went back to their table. 'I need a drink. Now.' She thought and downed her, Rhodey's and Katrin's tequila right away.

"Whoa, slow down Potts. What's up?" Tony asked and pulled the chair out for her.

"Do you see my best friend and your best friend? I can't dance and I can't relax. Well – " She said as she downed the last of the three tequilas, "- now I can dance. Excuse me please." She was happy that they had eaten so well before partying so she wasn't directly drunk, just enough to have the courage know to, more or less dance properly. As she reached the floor she noticed that Tony and Timothy were right behind her and they watched Rhodey and Katrin dance together. Katrin's arms were around his neck and Rhodey's hands were on her hips, feeling every move she made.

Tony bent over to whisper in Peppers ear, "And they say we have a sexual tension." She elbowed him into his ribs and started to dance in Katrin's direction as a new song came up. Katrin turned around and saw Pepper finally moving, laughed at her and danced with her. Moving hips, hugging each other and going down, laughing and giggling.

The guys went to them too and everybody danced with everyone, the two girls in the middle, the boys around them. Rhodey couldn't hold his hands by his side and was always hugging and touching Katrin. They danced, drunk and laughed.

Young hearts, out our minds. Runnin like we outta time. Wild childs, lookin' good. Livin hard just like we should. Don't care who's watching when we tearing it up (You Know). That magic that we got nobody can touch (For sure).
Looking for some trouble tonight. Take my hand, I'll show you the wild, side. Like it's the last night of our lives. We'll keep dancing till we die.

I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums. Oh what a shame that you came here with someone. So while you're here in my arms, let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young. We're gonna die young. We're gonna die young. Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young.

Rhodey and Katrin hugged each other and at one point Pepper could swear she saw him kissing Katrin. 'Why is it so easy for them' she thought. She looked at Tony who looked at her too and he looked like she felt. She smiled and he smiled back, pointing at Rhodes and Katrin. After that he whispered something to Tim and disappeared.

Suddenly Pepper felt Tony right behind her. He was closer than before and she was pressed up against her back to his chest and they moved simultaneously. Rhodey and Kartrin were gone, no one knew where and Tim excused himself and went to their table to sit down and have another drink. Pepper tried to went behind him, but Tony got a hold on her wrist and pulled her back. He spun her so her back was pressed to his chest again.

"Stay, for one dance. Please." He whispered while his lips brushed her ears. Pepper could barely stand. His lips on her skin, his hands on her wrist and waist, his moves sent her over the edge. She let him lead her to the center of the dance floor just as the song changed again. It was Don't stop the music by Rihanna.

Please don't stop the music.

Yes, she could dance and hell could she dance. All what Tony could think about was how those hips would move in other occasions. She moved down to the floor and up again with movements like a snake. Swinging her hips and reaching behind her she got a hold of his hair and tangled her fingers into his dark curls.

It's getting late, I'm making my way over to my favourite place. I gotta get my body moving, shake the stress away. I wasn't looking for nobody when you looked my way, possible candidate, yeah. Who knew, that you'd be up in here looking like you do. You're making staying over here, impossible. Baby, I must say your aura is incredible, if you don't have to go, don't.

His hands finally found their way to her waist and hip. Her hands came down and covered his. He pressed himself against her and cycled her waist with his arms, his lips brushing her neck, one hand brushing through her gorgeous red hair. Her head fell back to give him better access and she arched her body more into his.

Do you know what you started? I just came here to party, but now we're rocking on the dance floor, actin' naughty. Your hands around my waist, just let the music play.

He surprisingly took her hands and spun her around to face her.

We're hand in hand, chest to chest and now we're face to face.

At first Pepper was startled and widened her eyes, but his smile caught her up and she smiled back. As she laid her arms around Tony's neck he rested his fore head against hers. Well he tried to, but she went down again smiling devilishly at him with a certain sparkle in her eyes.

I wanna take you away. Let's escape into the music, DJ let it play. I just can't refuse it, like the way you do this. Keep on rockin' to it, please don't stop the, please don't stop the music.

"Do you want to leave?" He whispered with a husky voice as she moved up again.

"I'm not gonna sleep with you, Tony." She stopped moving, but he chuckled.

"Never said something about sleep." He laughed, but Pepper shot him glare and tried to leave. "Pepper, I was just joking. One dance. Remember?" She rolled her eyes but turned around and started to dance again. He grinned like an idiot and moved one knee between her legs while they moved their hips in unison and locked their gazes.

Baby are you ready cause it's getting close ,don't you feel the passion ready to explode?
What goes on between us no-one has to know, this is a private show. Do you know what you started? I just came here to party, but now we're rocking on the dance floor, actin' naughty. Your hands around my waist, just let the music play.

One hand around Pepper's waist the other one in her hair, till it cupped her cheek and stroke it gently.

We're hand in hand, chest to chest and now we're face to face.


As they left the club Timothy was already gone, too. They were only slightly drunk, since they had danced the whole time and didn't drink. They went back to their hotel and stopped at a park under some trees. Tony laced their fingers again and stood behind her, wrapping their laced hands tightly around her waist and hugging her close while they were watching the moonlight playing on the surface of the lake in front of them. He finally found his courage to lean down and kiss her, but she turned her head shyly and chuckled as his lips met her cheek. He sighed and was disappointed, but didn't turned away, cause she squeezed his hand affectionately, telling him silently without words that she begged him to just hold her, enjoying this moment and not to ruin it.

He was the perfect gentleman, gave her his jacket as she froze, offered her his arm and walked her to the door of her room. She fumbled with her keycard and looked down.

"Good night, Tony. It was wonderful. Thank you." She smiled and eventually looked at him.

"You're welcome, Pepper. Ehm I want to repeat this sometime. And I will make it up to you for forgetting about the dinner."

"You made it up enough. The dance, the walk it was amazing thank you."

He just smiled and leaned closer to her. His lips ghosted hers slightly as a service man made cleared his throat behind them and they scattered apart. The service man walked past them and Pepper had put her card into the door and had opened it.

"Thank you, Tony. I think I'm going to sleep now." She smiled one last time and looked at him as she slowly shut the door.

Tony turned on his heels and walked towards the elevator. It was until he accomplished his floor when it dawned to him. "She doesn't go to sleep!" He said to himself and pressed the button to get back to her floor. It was when the doors opened that he saw her. There she was his angel, his salvation and solution, his red head and everything. Pepper stood right in front of him. She smiled and he grinned like an idiot. She didn't wear her outfit anymore. She wore sweatpants and a t-shirt, but he tought she never looked better. They stood there for what felt like forever and just looked into each other's eyes.

"Tony…" She breathed out. He gathered his thoughts and finally pulled her towards him an kissed her. He kissed her like he never kissed a woman before. His lips were so damn soft against hers, her head shut up and her heart seemed to explode with love and affection. She kissed him back and kissing Tony Stark felt like nothing she had ever discovered. It was soft, slow and sweet. His arms found her waist and pulled her closer against him while her hands went into his hair and to the nape of his neck, playing with his hair there. She felt Tony pulling her slightly inside of the elevator and the doors shut, smiling against her lips.

When they break their kiss in lack of oxygen Peppers eyes were still closed and they were on Tony's floor. He took her hand and took her towards his suite, kissing her again against the door. This time with more force, more need and want. It was until then as the same service man passed them again and sighted.

"Guys, take advice from a friend: Get a room!" He said and chuckled.

Never breaking the kiss with Pepper, Tony held his thumb up and managed to open the door and let her inside. When they broke again he brushed a strand of red hair of her face and stroked her cheek softly.

"What?" She asked curiously smiling as he laid his eyes on her, his gaze so soft and lovingly.

"Nothing, I just thought about how I got to be so lucky to deserve you." He smiled. She didn't respond and closed the gap between them again, kissing him passionately and dragging him to his bedroom. He stopped her and whispered. "Pepper, I just want you to know. I love you. I always loved you and always will."

"And I love you, Antony Edward Stark."

All they thought was 'Finally!' as they kissed again. It felt like the rightest thing they had ever done. Yes things had fallen into place and both couldn't be any happier. They weren't PA and employer anymore. They were eye to eye, the same. 'I love you Tony and you just don't see it. You never had.' wasn't the case anymore and she turned them into the most wonderful word he ever heard:

"I love you Tony, and now you finally see it. You'll always see it."

He loved her and she loved him. He had her and she finally had him. 'He feels how I do!'
