her feet are aching, no sooner does she rid herself of these heels when entering through the front door. a satisfying sigh tumbles out between red lips, and pepper wanders down a hallway where soon enough azure orbs meet with the staircase, the incline of steps beckons her forward; sauntering off to bed sound incredibly enticing right about now. fingertips touch upon the railing guiding herself up each individual step until eventually landing on the second floor. the redhead descends down another corridor, surpassing through the threshold of their bedroom, however, she never quite makes it to bed. the sound of running water captivating her mind, pulls her feet closer toward the bathroom door. gently, her hand pushes it open. pepper walks inside, though is quiet as a church mouse, and just as silent when disposing of each article of clothing. a smile graces her features, tony’s back to her; he looks so attractive, she could observe him for hours, paying close attention to how his hands move, how every calloused finger works on rough machinery, but yet is the most softest when gliding across her flesh. sliding the glass door open, she approaches, lips press into his shoulder in greeting while her arms wrap around him from behind, careful not to startle. “ mind if i join? “ words are mumbled into his skin before shifting positions so that she may be standing in front. instantaneously hypnotized by those beautiful brown eyes of his, the heat and desire still brews from within. 

lost in the heat of the water beating down on his bare flesh, the sound of it too loud for him to hear the AI over the water ( and he’d requested to never be interrupted when showering unless absolutely important ). thus, tony doesn’t hear when pepper gets home, nor when she starts undressing for the shower to join him; not until her arms are wrapped about his midsection from behind and her voice is at his ear. he’s a bit startled, as anyone would be, but the engineer gladly welcomes her before him as she moves to stand at his front.

❛ not at all. ❜   his hands grasp her upper arms firmly, eventually rubbing up and down slowly as he leans forward and presses his lips to pepper’s own. he’d missed her, to put it lightly, and he hasn’t forgotten where they’d left off earlier. but at the same time, he isn’t overly eager to pick right back up; he’s patient.   ❛ how was work? ❜   forehead presses to hers now, a soft and contented sigh following.
