Fated Marks

I moved to straddle Tony’s lap before kissing him. He put his arms around me and moved me to lie on my back as he started kissing down my neck.

“Ah.” I moaned as he nipped at my pulse point and slipped his hand under my shirt before he slowly lifted it off of me. I threaded my fingers through Tony’s hair and gave him a gentle tug, making him look up. I kissed him and he moaned loudly.

I moved my hands down and started unbuttoning his jeans before pushing them along with his boxers down to Tony’s knees. I moved him to sit down before standing in front of him and unbuttoning my jeans. Tony pushed them down along with my panties and I kicked them off the rest of the way before straddling his lap and kissing him again.

Tony put his hands on my hips and pulled me flush against him. I could feel how ready he was for this and that just made me want this even more.

“Hayley.” Tony moaned as I kissed along his jaw.

“Mh.” I hummed before raising my hips a bit and lining myself up with tony and sinking down.

“AH!” We cried out together. Tony put his hands on my butt and pulled me the rest of the way down as he thrust up.

“Ah!” I cried out. “Tony!”

“Mh.” Tony hummed as he kissed and nipped along my collarbone. I threaded my fingers through his hair and gave him a gentle tug making him groan. Looks like I was right. He pulled me into a kiss before flipping us over and taking charge.

Tony moved my leg up higher and started pushing in and out of me reaching deeper than before.

“Ah!” I moaned as he hit that one particularly sensitive spot. I could feel myself close already.

“So good Hales, feels so good.” Tony moaned.

“Tony.” I moaned. “Ah!”

“Hayley.” He whispered burying his face I the crook of my neck as he picked up the pace. Making me cum hard. “Uh.” Tony moaned but just kept working me through it.

“Shit.” I cried out. Just as I was coming down from my first high the second one hit me like a bus.

“Mh.” Tony grunted as I felt him cum. “Fuck!”

“Uh.” We sighed as we panted. Tony was lying on top of me and my legs felt like noodles as they let go of the hold I didn’t even realize I had Tony in.

Once I finally caught my breath I started laughing.

“You okay?” Tony asked.

“Yeah, yeah just never been happier to be wrong.” I said. “That was amazing.”

“Sorry about… yeah.” Tony said lifting himself up but I pulled him back down and into a kiss.

“Don’t apologize, I… I needed that. Thanks for taking care of me.” I said.

“I was the one… using you.” He said.

“I’m not complaining and I did about twelve percent of the using.” I said.

“Twelve percent, Really? I felt a little more than twelve percent used.” Tony said.

“An argument can be made for fifteen.” I suggested.

“Fifteen? How many times did I take care of you again?” he retorted making me laugh. “Really liked how you took charge.” Tony said kissing behind my ear.

“I like how you didn’t hold back.” I said tugging a lock of his hair.

“Mh.” Tony groaned as I felt him twitch.

The Next Morning-

After finally giving in and then a few more rounds after that we were finally exhausted and knocked out. We didn’t even make it off the couch.

The day room was beautiful and had a lot of natural light… too much natural light… especially when you’re hungover.

“Uh.” I groaned. “The light it burns.”

“Mh too loud.” Tony whined.

“Ouch, aw my head.” I groaned.

“Jarvis dim the windows.” Tony said.

“Of course sir.” Jarvis answered and we groaned.

“Knock Knock. Ah! Oh come on!” Happy shouted.

“Ow!” I groaned.

“Indoor voice please.” Tony groaned.

“I’m just going to leave this over here and go wait in the car.” He said before walking out and slamming the front door shot.

“I don’t know why he’s so freaked out. Not like it’s the first time he’s walked in after a bender.” Tony said.

“It is the first time he’s walked in on us like this.” I said noticing that the only thing keeping us covered was a comforter Tony had grabbed at some point in the middle of the night. “Wait when did you call Happy?”

“Uh when I woke up to use the bathroom a few hours ago. I was hungry and don’t feel like driving back.” He said hugging me and kissing my shoulder. “How’re you feeling?”

“Shitty but that’s partly because of the hangover. I don’t think I can handle another day of wallowing.” I said.

“I think we should hold off until July before we have a repeat of this.” Tony said.

“Might be a good idea.” I said before getting up and slipping on my underwear. “You see my jeans?”

“Uh… got them.” Tony said grabbing them from the other side of the couch.

“Thank you.” I said giving him a peck on the lips before slipping them on. My cell phone slipped out of the back pocket and fell to the floor. “Shit.” I said picking it up and noticing the twenty missed calls and twenty voicemails.

“I’ve got forty missed calls and ten voicemails. You?” Tony said.

“I got twenty calls and twenty messages.” I said.

“Going to call them back?” Tony asked.

“We’re heading back anyway. Besides I think they figured out where I went already.” I said playing the first voicemail on Tony’s phone.

“Stark where are you and more importantly where’s Hayley?” Steve said.

“Tony we’re a bit worried about you and Hayley just give us a call.” Bruce said.

“Stark I swear if anything happens to Hayley I will…” Natasha started before slipping into Russian. I didn’t understand it but it sounded terrifying.

“Just know when we walk in I’m using you as a human shield.” Tony said.

“Don’t think that’ll help much.” I said putting on my shoes before going over to pick up whatever breakfast Happy had gotten for us. I opened up the bag and the smell of greasy breakfast food made me queasy. “Oh crap.” I said running into the guest restroom and throwing up. Spending the entire day drinking without eating anything was a bad idea.

“Okay.” Tony said holding my hair back as I puked. “Let it out.”

“Buah!” I puked.

“That’s it.” Tony said rubbing my back.

“Uh… I feel gross.” I said.

“That’s normal. You’ll feel better after some coffee and food.” Tony said and I felt nauseous again.

“Buah!” I puked.

“Maybe just coffee for now.” Tony said.

After I finally stopped I brushed my teeth and rinsed my mouth before getting out of the bathroom. Tony handed me a pair of sunglasses and a coffee cup before we headed outside to meet Happy.

“Hey boss Pepper asked me to tell you to call her. Something about Friday’s gala.” Happy said making Tony groaned.

“Didn’t you just have a gala?” I asked.

“Different charity.” Tony said.

“Did you pick a cause to support?” I asked.

“Yes. It’s one of my moms.” Tony said. “Just have enough to handle already with...”

“Hadrian, right.” I said.

“Hales you know we have to do this.” Tony said.

“What I said before stands, do whatever you have to do I just don’t want to know about it.” I said.

“We could use your help…” Tony started.

“I’ve already done enough.” I said. “I’d rather do something productive and helpful. I’ll handle the gala you handle… the other thing. I could use the distraction. It’s either that or I breakdown crying every time I see the empty crib in my room.”

“I’ll get someone to get rid of it.” Tony said grabbing his phone.

“Just donate it, I’m sure there’s someone who could actually use it.” I said.

“If you want to talk about it, we’re here for you.” Tony said.

“I know.” I said resting my head on his shoulder. “What time am I meeting the planning committee?”

“After lunch. I can reschedule?” Tony offered.

“No it’s fine. Gives me time to shower and read up on what needs to be done.” I said.

“You sure because Pepper…” Tony started

“Has a multi billion dollar company to run and she leaves after the gala on a well deserved vacation. I got it.” I said.

“So I guess this means you can also be my date?” Tony asked.

“Tony…” I started.

“That’s a no,” he said sadly.

“You know why. Besides I’m going to be by your side the entire night so you don’t mistake anyone.” I said.

“Not the same and you know it.” Tony said.

“I know it’s not but for now it’s just the way it has to be.” I said.

“And when is it going to be okay for me to introduce you as my girlfriend or for you to go to an event as my date?” Tony asked.

“I don’t know, there isn’t exactly a book on how to handle a relationship like ours. Why the fuck couldn’t we live on Asgard?” I said.

“What does Asgard have to do with going public?” Tony said.

“Apparently having multiple soulmates and being married to more than one person isn’t a big deal there.” I said.

“How does that even come up in a conversation?” Tony asked.

“I don’t know it just did.” I said. “Tony I love you and you love me. We’re exactly where we need to be and we’re happy. Does it really matter if the entire world knows or not?”

“No, I just want to show you off.” He said.

“You already did remember? Practically broke the internet and the heart of every gold digger out there and my face wasn’t even showing.” I said making him laugh.

“I’m overthinking it.” Tony said.

“Well stop. I love you. That’s all that matters.” I said before kissing him.

“Hey, break it up you two, we’re almost at the tower.” Happy said.

“Right.” I said before pulling away. I rested my head on Tony’s shoulder and put an arm around him. I drifted off to sleep for a bit but woke up as the car stopped.

“We’re here boss.” Happy said.

“Might want to put these on.” Tony said handing me the sunglasses I was wearing.

“Worst hangover ever.” I said.

“That’s how you know it was good scotch.” He said before opening the door. We got out and made our way inside. “You want to go say hi or go nap for a few hours?”

“Neither, I need a shower.” I said.

“I’ll hold them off for a bit.” Tony said.

“Thanks.” I said as the elevator stopped on my floor. I got off and went straight for the shower.

Third Person’s POV-

Tony walked into the common room and was immediately ambushed with yelling from Steve, Thor, Pepper, and Bruce.

“Where have you been?!” Steve yelled.

“Why aren’t you answering your phone?! Do you have any idea how worried we’ve been?” Pepper yelled.

“Where is Hayley?!” Thor shouted.

“You couldn’t have called?” Bruce asked.

“Whoa too hungover for all of this.” Tony said making his way to the coffee maker. “One at a time.”

“Hayley?” Steve asked.

“Downstairs. Probably napping away the hangover from that three thousand dollar bottle of scotch.” Tony said feeling a bit nauseous at the thought of it.

“I shall go check on her.” Thor said walking into the elevator.

“Where’s Big Bird and Elmo?” Tony asked.

“They got called out on a mission last night.” Steve said.

“Tony you have meetings all day. Go get ready.” Pepper said.

“Actually slight change of plans, we have avengers business and a meeting with SHIELD so Hayley volunteered to take over planning the gala for us.” Tony said.

“When did she agree to this?” Bruce asked.

“Sometime between Queens and Long Island.” Tony said taking a sip of his coffee.

“What were you thinking just going off like that without telling anyone?! Especially with Adler coming after her!” Steve shouted.

“You think keeping her cooped up in here was going to help her?” Tony said.

“And getting drunk did?” Steve retorted.

“Well lets see she willingly got out of bed, I got her to eat something and she volunteered to do something productive. What have you done?” Tony retorted.

“I’ve been here trying to find Adler.” Steve spat out.

“Anyone responded to your wanted posters yet?” Tony asked.

“Stark.” Steve growled.

“Everyone take a breath, I don’t know what’s going on but fighting isn’t going to solve anything. Tony, Hayley’s not just your soulmate everyone was worried and I was worried about you.” Pepper said.

“We were fine. I took a suit just in case.” Tony said.

“You know that’s not what I meant.” Pepper said.

“Pep, I’m fine. It was a bad day but today’s a new day and I have a psychopath to go find.” Tony said before he walked out.

“Tony we have a meeting with Hill and Fury at noon.” Bruce said.

“Be there at twelve thirty.” Tony said as he got in the elevator.

Hayley’s POV-

The first thing I noticed when I walked into my floor was that something was missing. As soon as I walked into my room I realized that not only had the crib been taken out but also anything related to Adam was taken out.

Tony works fast.

I grabbed some clothes and went to shower. I washed off the sweat from the past day before getting dressed. I walked out of the bathroom to be greeted by Thor who was sitting down on my bed.

“Hayley.” Thor greeted.

“Hey buddy.” I said.

“How are you feeling?” Thor asked.

“Like I got run over by a bus.” I said and that made him panic. He pulled me into his arms and held me close.

“I was worried.” He said.

“Sorry, just needed… well I could have stayed but just thought it would be a good idea to get some space, clear my head for a bit.” I said.

“Did it clear your head?” Thor asked.

“For a bit, hence the hangover.” I said. “I could really use a nap. Have meetings to go to later.”

“Of course.” Thor said letting me go and getting up to go.

“Thor?” I said stopping him.

“Yes love?” He asked.

“I could use a cuddle too.” I said and he smiled before getting into bed with me. We lied there for a few minutes in silence before I couldn’t; take it anymore and addressed the psychopath in the room. “I’m sorry.”

“Hm?” He hummed confused.

“For everything. Putting us all in this situation. For being to stubborn to ask for help and ultimately being the reason we’re all in danger.” I said.

“Hayley, we are warriors. It is not the first time nor shall it be the last we face danger. We have faced greater foes and worse odds than this. I am more concerned about you.” Thor asked.

“I’m fine, I’m… handling it.” I answered.

“Hayley.” Thor said.

“Okay wrong choice of words. I’m working through my feelings. Maybe not in the healthiest way there is but it’s working… for now anyway.” I said.

“Then that’s all that matters. Please just… let someone know next time you plan on leaving. I feared you may have been…” Thor started.

“Hey. We’re in the safest most secure building in the world. Probably the only place Hadrian wouldn’t try to get to me in.” I said. “I promise I’m not disappearing anytime soon.”

And at the time, I totally meant that promise but as someone once said…

Life is what happens when you’re busy making plans.

A Few Hours Later-

I woke up wrapped around Thor’s frame and when I tried to get out of his grasp he pulled me back.

“Mh, no.” He muttered before letting out a snore.

“Thor,” I whispered shaking him gently. That did nothing so I resorted to slipping in a pillow between us and slipped out when he clung to it. I felt bad but I really needed to get to work.

If Will knew how much money I had in bank account he’d be laughing at the irony of that statement.

I walked into my closet and pulled out a three quarter sleeved blue body con dress with a black lace print on the sides and my favorite black pumps.

My hair wasn’t to bad after I combed through it so I left it down. I grabbed my starkpad and read through the to do list before I headed to the conference room in the Public Relations department.

The meeting didn’t last two long. The main dilemma was what shade of two identical blues to use. After that was cleared up it was smooth sailing. I booked the final tastings with the caterers for the next day even though I already forwarded what Pepper had requested.

I spent the three hours after that putting together the seating chart, making sure no ex wives had to share the same table as the mistresses who replaced them. I was in the zone so it wasn’t until Jarvis told me I had a visitor waiting for me in the conference room upstairs that I stopped working.

I wasn’t expecting anyone but then again I really wasn’t answering any calls so I didn’t know if I was needed or if I had anything urgent to do. I went upstairs and when I saw Elijah sitting there I let out a breath I didn’t even realize I was holding.

“I called a few times but you don’t seem to be answering your phone.” He greeted.

“Sorry I’ve been dealing with things here.” I said.

“I know. So have I.” He said opening his briefcase. “I finished making arrangements for everyone. You’re the last client before I start my early retirement.”

“Don’t know whether to congratulate you or give you my condolences.” I said.

“It was bound to happen. Besides I’ve been told I could use a vacation.” Elijah said trying to lighten the mood.

“It is well deserved just wished it could have been under different circumstances.” I said.

“You shouldn’t blame yourself. This was bound to happen at some point Hayley. At least this way there aren’t any bodies to bury.” Elijah said. “I made the changes to your will you requested. This is a copy of what is now on record.”

I opened the envelope he handed to me and I read through it. Everything was done exactly as I requested.

“I also managed to expedite the sale of the property you were interested in. Given the state of the property you got a very good price on it, thought I do still find it odd why you would choose this one.” Elijah said.

“I have my reasons.” I said taking the deed and reading through it.

“I also took the liberty of including a list of potential new lawyers to handle any legal needs you may have.” Elijah said.

“I think I have that covered.” I said.

“Of course.” He said closing up his briefcase. “I’m leaving for London and from there… I’m not sure.”

“Take some advice from someone who’s started over so many times she’s lost track, everyone has that one thing they’ve always wanted to do or there was someone they wanted to be, if there was ever a time to try it now’s the time.” I said.

“Is that who Hayley was for you?” Elijah asked.

“Not sure.” I said.

“I will miss these talks of ours.” Elijah said standing up.

“All good things must come to an end right?” I said.

“Until next time.” He said hugging me "Whenever that may be." He added kissing my forehead before walking out.

I sat down and wiped off the tears I didn’t realize had started coming out. I took a few deep breaths before going back to work.
