Chapter 10 - Bad dreams and goodnight kisses
--
Tony stirred restlessly in his sleep, murmuring soft words as he gripped the sheets rather wildly. He turned and groaned like he was in pain, his deep voice reverberating in the thick air of the darken room.
Pepper opened her eyes, startled. She had just finished work a couple of hours ago and came to see what her boyfriend slash boss was doing. He was ‘thank god’ - asleep, his head buried deep into the plushy pillows, so she thought she could watch him sleeping for a few minutes.
It was more than a few minutes.
She realized that she had fallen asleep to his soft snoring and now, she felt the sheets being pulled from her body. She quickly got up on her elbow and heard him groaning like he was in deep pain.
“Tony?” She asked her voice hoarse so she cleared her throat before calling his name again.
Tony opened his eyes and quickly regained his senses back. He looked at her through heavy-lidded eyes wet with tears. Pepper felt a gut punch sensation as she noticed the wetness of his eyes and the emotions written across his face.
“Bad dreams?”
He sniffs and collapses against the pillows.
“Very bad dreams.” He responds.
“Do you want me to take them away from you?” She asks, feeling a blush creep on her face so she hides herself from his searing gaze.
“Desperately.”
“Okay… so what do you want me to do?”
He pulls the cover on the top of them again and moves closer to her, until his body is pressed against hers.
“I was thinking that maybe we should go somewhere together.”
Pepper gasps silently and lets him pull her into a gentle kiss. She moves one hand to the back of his head, tangling her fingers into his hair and he pushes a knee between hers, his arm slowly and seductively coming to rest on her waist, pulling her to him.
She opens her mouth only slightly and moves her tongue until it brushes against his, a soft moan escaping her throat.
They kiss like this for a few more minutes before Tony pulls back, dizzy and partially aroused.
“My yacht. Not too far though.”
“Okay…” She murmurs before pulling him back to her mouth.
