Chapter 131
Later that Night-
I got home from work to an empty apartment. I was about to kick off my shoes when I my phone rang.
“Hello?” I answered.
“Hey babe.” Nate greeted.
“Nate.” I said.
“You home yet?” he said.
“Just got in actually.” I said.
“Well don’t kick off your shoes yet.” He said.
“Okay?” I said.
“Can you come up to the roof?” Nate asked.
“The roof? In my building?” I asked.
“Well you are home.” He said.
“Uh sure be right up.” I said. That was weird. I walked over to the window and opened it before slipping out onto the fire escape. I climbed the stairs all the way to the roof when I heard music playing, specifically that song, Can’t help Falling in Love started playing.
I got on the roof and saw flowers everywhere and twinkle lights hanging across the entire roof.
“What the…” I said.
“Hi.” Nate said.
“Hi…” I said skeptically.
“You told me to take the day to pull myself together and I did the best I could. I screwed up Cal, I’m an idiot and I don’t deserve you. You’re my rock babe and I’ve been so caught up in the grand plan that I forgot that there’s no plan without you.” Nate said.
“Nate…” I started.
“I know we still have a lot to figure out and I have a lot of things I need to get over but I know that if I have you by my side, if we’re a team there’s nothing we can’t do.” Nate said. “I need you baby. So can I please put this ring back where it belongs so I can start to try and fix things?”
“Do you mean it? Do you want to work to fix things between us?” I asked.
“Yes. I screwed up but I’m going to make things right.” Nate said.
“Okay but don’t do it again.” I said.
“It won’t happen again. I swear.” Nate said putting the ring back on my finger.
“I’m serious Nate. That’s a side of you I never want to see again. It happens again we’re done.” I said.
“It won’t happen again. It was a mistake, it won’t happen again,” he said.
“Well that’s one way to refer to your attitude,” I said arching an eyebrow.
“I don’t want you to ever see that side of me again.” Nate quickly explained. “It’s you and me babe. The prenup’s at my lawyer’s, the wedding is all planned, we’re doing this. I can’t wait until we’re Mr. and Mrs. Archibald.” Nate whispered as he held me close.
“I’m actually keeping my name.” I said.
“Really?” Nate said.
“Yeah.” I said.
“We’ll see.” He said.
No we won’t.
A Few Weeks Later-
“Cal omelets are ready!” Steve called out.
“Be there in a minute!” I called back as Lucky whimpered.
“Just one more buddy.” I cooed as I rubbed Lucky’s neck.
“Got it.” Clint said as he trimmed the last of Lucky’s nails.
“There you go.” I said.
“Cal?” Nate called out.
“Hey babe.” I said getting up and greeting him with a peck to the lips. Nate had gotten better since his apology. Things weren’t exactly the way they used to be but it was getting there.
“Hey man.” Nate greeted Clint.
“Hey.” Clint said.
“Got a minute?” Nate asked me.
“For you? Even two.” I said making him smile. I got off the floor and followed Nate back to the apartment and to my room.
“Everything okay?” I asked.
“Yeah just wanted to give you this.” He said handing me a manila folder.
“Is this…” I asked.
“Prenup, all signed and ready to be notarized.” Nate said.
“Did you go through it all?” I asked.
“Yeah, all good.” Nate said.
“So there aren’t any changes you want to make? Nothing you want to discuss?” I asked.
“No, my guy said it was all good and I skimmed through it to make sure it was all okay. Your lawyer was really detailed.” Nate said.
“Yes he was…” I said. “I’m just going to put this in my bag. I’m going to stop by for a visit this weekend anyway.”
“You excited about the convention?” Nate said.
“I’ve been looking forward to this day for months. I started a countdown on my phone.” I said.
“I know it keeps waking me up.” Nate said. “Do you have one for our big day?”
“Don’t need one.” I said. “Twenty eight days and counting.”
“Can’t wait.” Nate said smiling.
“I bet.” I said.
“Want me to give you a ride?” Nate asked.
“No, I have to run a few errands and pick up a few things at work.” I said.
“I’ll see you when you get back.” Nate said kissing me. “Say hi to your dad and brothers for me.”
After breakfast I loaded my things into Clint’s car and we were off to the airfield.
“You okay?” Clint asked.
“I’m getting married in twenty eight days.” I said.
“You are.” Clint said not taking his eyes off the road.
“Nate signed the prenup.” I said.
“Okay?” he said confused.
“The prenup where he’s asked to sign away any parental rights to the kids if we get divorced.” I said.
“That’s good right?” Clint said.
“Yeah.” I said.
“Then why are you so… worried?” he asked.
“It’s nothing.” I said shaking it off as we pulled up to the hanger. I was about to get out when Clint stopped me.
“I know I haven’t been around as much lately but if you need me I’m there.” Clint said.
“Works been busy, I get it.” I said.
“It isn’t work.” Clint said. “I… started fixing up the house.”
“The house upstate?” I said.
“Yeah. I want to expand the business and there’s a lot of commercial expansion starting up there, seemed like a good time.” Clint said.
“Wow, that’s big. Can’t wait to see it.” I said.
“Cal, if you’re having doubts then don’t do it.” Clint said.
“What?” I said.
“I know things are good right now but a few weeks ago you were fighting like cats and dogs and if for whatever reason you change your mind or just want someone to talk to about anything. I’ll be your getaway driver, doesn’t matter what time it is.” He said.
I stayed quiet for a minute before I started laughing and Clint joined in.
“There’s that smile.” He said chuckling.
“For a second I thought you were serious.” I said. I kind of hoped he was.
“Oh I am.” Clint said and I arched an eyebrow. “I’m with you no matter what. And if you have any doubts no matter how small don’t do it. It’s better to say I’m sorry than to regret something for the rest of your life. I love you and I want you to be happy.”
“You don’t think I should marry Nate?” I asked.
“I think you should do what makes you happy and I don’t think you’re happy.” He said.
“I am happy just… I have this feeling that there’s something wrong, and I can’t shake it.” I said.
“Anything specific?” Clint asked.
“No, it’s been happening for a while but lately it’s been getting worse.” I said.
“You think it’s…” he started.
“No, this is different.” I said. “It’s probably just pre-wedding jitters. I should get going.”
“I’ll see you when you get back.” Clint said.
“Of course.” I said hugging him. He hugged me back and kissed the side of my head before letting me go.
I quickly grabbed my things before getting on the jet. Tony and Bruce still weren’t here so I decided to do some light reading… namely my prenup.
“So I was thinking we skip the monitors and do a quick run through of the holographs before heading to have a look at the nanotech expo.” Tony said.
“Mhm.” I said nodding along.
“Okay you haven’t said a word in an hour what’s so interesting you can’t even bother to look up from reading…” Tony said moving to stand behind me. “Is that your prenup?”
“Yup.” I said putting it down and leaning back. I had read it at least six times now. It was exactly as Elijah had written it, down to the signing away of parental rights. “Nate signed it.”
“So you finally told him about Clint and your kids.” Bruce said.
“Nope.” I said.
“What do you mean no?” Tony said.
“He gave it to his lawyer to look through, then he looked through it and he signed it because there was nothing wrong with it and he totally agreed.” I said.
“He didn’t want to talk about the kids?” Bruce asked.
“Everything was perfect.” I said. “So I may just be over thinking this or it might be stress but he’s either going to be a really bad lawyer and he just really doesn’t care and I don’t really know who I’m marrying.”
“Have you tried talking to him?” Bruce asked.
“He dropped them off before I left for the airfield.” I said. “I’m giving them to Elijah on Sunday during brunch.”
“What are you going to do?” Tony asked.
“Guess I’m going to have to go with the direct approach. That’s going to be a fun conversation.” I said.
The jet landed at noon in Chicago. Dad had a lunch meeting and everyone else was off doing their own thing so that left me as Tony and Bruce’s personal tour guide.
“The bean… Willis tower… The Rocky Statue…” I said pointing things out as we passed by.
“I was expecting more of a local tour not tourist traps.” Tony said.
“Well you have a luncheon and a sound check so no can do,” I said and Tony groaned. “Though you are conveniently free after five.”
“Five?” Tony said.
“Would have been four but the sound check guy had a thing.” I said.
“I like five, five is awesome.” Tony said.
We got to the hotel and got ourselves checked in before I headed to the elevators. The doors opened and the last person I expected to see walked out.
“Kol?” I said.
“Cal!” He cheered before picking me up in a hug.
“Thought you had a meeting?” I said.
“I did! Sealed the deal.” He said with a cocky grin.
“I’m afraid to ask.” I said before Tony Cleared his throat. “Right, Kol meet Tony Stark and Bruce Banner, work colleagues, my bosses and friends. Guys meet my brother Kol.”
“Nice to meet you.” Kol said.
“Likewise.” Bruce said.
“You hungry? I can go for a bite.” Kol said.
“Can’t I’m working remember?” I said.
“Right, that explains why the fiancé isn’t here.” Kol said.
“I am having Brunch at the house on Sunday.” I said.
“But the grandpas are going to be there. We need a siblings day out. I feel abandoned. You’re in New York, Bekah’s in London…” He said.
“I am free tomorrow night. Drinks at the Russian tea room and we’ll see where we end up?” I said.
“Now we’re talking.” Kol said. “I’ll text you when I’m on my way to get you.”
“Kay.” I said before we went our separate ways.
“So your brother’s accent…British?” Tony started.
“The family tree’s a bit complicated. Dad was an orphan in New Orleans and that’s where he met my older brothers Nik and Elijah. They kind of adopted each other. They were in their teens, their parents had just died in an accident leaving them in charge of Kol and Rebekah who were just kids at the time. Hence why I have my dad’s last name, Gerard, and their last name is Mikaelson. They grew up in England and Bekah and Kol never lost the accent. Didn’t want to forget their roots.” I said.
“You all seem really close.” Bruce said.
“Yeah, it doesn’t matter where we are we always check in with each other.” I said. “Bekah’s probably going to skype in from London during brunch. Until then we have work to do. I’ve got the passes and lanyards, we have about an hour before the luncheon, your suits are in the garment bags. I’ll meet you in the lobby.”
I went upstairs and changed out of my dark grey ripped skinny jeans and square print blazer and into a black lace printed dress.
I put on some black heels before getting started on my hair. I curled it that morning do I figured putting into a messy bun but leaving a few loose strands to frame my face would do nicely. By the time I was done it was time to head downstairs.
I sat down in the lobby looking through the itinerary when Tony and Bruce finally arrived.
“So the luncheon’s pretty casual. You just shake a few hands, some people will probably want to talk to you about maybe selling their patents to you or asking you to invest. “ I said.
“So regular ass kissing?” Tony said.
“Pretty much. I did look into a few things and forwarded them to you if I thought you might like which you’re probably going to ignore until later.” I said.
“Ignored.” Tony said swiping the file off his phone screen.
“Other than that time to have fun.” I said.
And it was fun. Met a lot of interesting people, networked a bit, Tony’s competition at Hammer tech tried to poach me away and failed spectacularly. Pretty good day.
Of course Bruce had a pretty tough day. He and Betty had a lot of mutual friends and colleagues and of course they all had to ask about her. He was so bummed out he decided to call it an early day and skipped the tour.
Tony on the other hand was adamant I show him all of the local spots. We started off at a pizzeria that had the best deep dish in all of Chicago.
“Just a cheese pizza? No toppings?” Tony asked.
“If it’s good pizza you don’t toppings to sell it. The dough, sauce and cheese are the important parts.” I said.
“Pepperoni would have been good too.” Tony retorted.
“It’s deep dish, no toppings.” I said. “You’ll thank me later.”
“We’ll see.” He said.
About an hour later we were out and he ate his words.
“Okay, if that had toppings I’d be in a food coma. Not sure I won’t slip into one right now but it would be worse.” Tony said.
“I did warn you. Used to come here with Josh all the time when I was working at my dad’s office.” I said.
“Will’s Josh josh?” Tony asked.
“Yeah, believe it or not Josh actually has a business degree. He interned with my dad and that’s how he met. He was okay but he hated it. Had to keep him caffeinated to get him through the day, but he always made the best lunches. He could talk for hours about food or new restaurants. One day I finally talked some sense into him and he left his job and moved to New York for culinary school. Ran into him when I moved and introduced him to Will. You know the rest.” I said.
“The bean.” Tony said looking at the mirror sculpture displayed. “You know I’ve been to Chicago a few times over the years but this is the first time I’ve been here.”
“Seriously?” I asked.
“I was always busy with work.” Tony said.
“I know it’s a tourist trap but you should see all the tourist traps at least once.” I said.
“I always postponed it. There is this one place.” Tony said. “Rooftop bar, best views in the city.”
“If I’m going out with Kol tomorrow I can’t drink tonight. One time we got so hammered I blacked and woke up in Canada.” I said.
“Sounds like someone I know.” Tony said.
“Why do you think I’m so good at nannying you.” I retorted.
“You don’t nanny me.” Tony retorted.
“The fact that you don’t realize I’m doing it just means I’m doing a really good job of it.” I said getting up. “We should head back, I want to get some work done before calling it a night.”
“It’s the weekend take a break.” Tony said. “Unwind a bit.”
“I would but I will be gone for a week for my honeymoon so I want to get as much work done as I can.” I said.
“You finally settled on a place?” Tony asked.
“Well I’ve always wanted to go to Bali and Nate wanted somewhere civilized, his words not mine. We settled on Hawaii.” I said.
“Good compromise.” Tony said.
“I know,” I said. “Let’s just hope he feels that way about Clint being our kids biological father.”
“You should have had that conversation months ago.” Tony said.
“Yeah but between the fighting, the breaks and running away it just never seemed like the right time.” I said.
“Speaking of running away did you ever talk to him about what happened in the Hamptons?” Tony asked.
“He didn’t need to know.” I said getting up. “We had enough to fight about already.”
“We never talked about it.” Tony said.
“Did you want to talk about it?” I asked.
“Did you?” he asked and we both just stared at each other.
“It’s getting cold.” I said.
“Yeah let’s go.” Tony said.
The Next Night-
After a whirlwind day of geeking out at the convention and putting together my Christmas wish list Bruce, Tony and I went our separate ways for the night. I headed back to my room to get ready for whatever the night had in store for me. I took a quick shower before changing into the sheer lace sleeved body con dress I had brought just in case I needed it.
I put my walled and phone into my trusty black clutch and slipped on my black peep toe Louboutins.
Kol was on his way and I figured I had time for one drink with my friends before I headed out to whatever he had planned.
I headed down and slowly made my way over to the bar where Bruce and Tony were talking. Bruce saw me first and his jaw dropped. Tony waved his hand in front of his face trying to get a reaction before turning towards me.
“Hey guys, thought I’d join you guys while Kol get’s here.” I said.
“Wow.” Tony said.
“Too much?” I asked.
“You’re hot.” Tony said.
“No I’m pretty comfy actually.” I said.
“No I mean you’re attractive hot. Wow.” Tony said again.
“Thanks.” I said before turning to Bruce. “Bruce you okay?”
“Uh yeah… you look… wow.” Bruce said.
“Made a good choice with the dress then.” I said.
“That’s one way to put it.” Tony said.
“Well I’m gonna call it a night.” Bruce said.
“It’s barely eight.” Tony said.
“I’m going to go get some work done. I go an idea after watching Doctor Cho’s presentation on regenerating tissue.” Bruce said.
“Oh, that was awesome.” I said.
“I’m being abandoned.” Tony said before my phone buzzed.
‘Hey sis, Something came up with Davina and I can’t make it sorry. I’ll make it up to you, promise.’-Kol.
“No actually I am. Kol’s ditching me for his girlfriend which is code for he’s getting lucky with her or someone else.” I said. “Want to be abandoned together?”
“Yes.” Tony said immediately. “Russian tea room?”
“You know me well.” I said grabbing the shot that had just been placed in front of him and drinking it.
“Shall we?” Tony said offering me his arm.
“After you.” I said taking his arm. “Night Bruce.”
“Behave.” He called after us.
“We will.” Tony and I answered at the same time.
The drive to the Russian Tea room was pretty short. The line to get in was huge. Lucky for us, Tony’s reputation preceded him and the fact that I knew the owner and everyone that worked there got us straight in.
“Take it you’ve been here before?” Tony asked.
“You kidding? I had my first tequila shot on that corner when I was sixteen.” I said.
“Sixteen?” Tony said.
“The previous bartender was hooking up with my sister and was Kol’s Pot dealer.” I said.
“Ah.” He said.
“Yeah, got my first fake ID in the back alley… Got the inspiration I needed for my college essays in the back corner over some piroshkies. Got my acceptance letter to Columbia here… it’s our go to place.” I said.
“Never had a place like this, was in the spotlight too much.” Tony said.
“You ever consider what it would be like to not be?” I asked.
“Sometimes but what could have been doesn’t exist.” Tony said.
“Except in VR, did you see…” I started.
“BARF, they really need a better acronym for that.” Tony said.
“Binary augmented…. Augmenting the binary…” I said when the idea just rushed to my head.
“Oh I know that look.” Tony said.
“If I augment the binary in the coding of the AU consciousness with… ah!” I said lofting up my drink and grabbing the napkin. “Pen need a pen!”
“Pen.” Tony said taking the one he carried in his jacket pocket.
“Thanks.” I said before scribbling on the napkin.
“Can we get more napkins over here?” Tony asked the bartender. The idea just kept flowing. I kept scribing until I was out of room and Tony swiped another one to take its place and reading what I had so far.
“Okay.” I said after I had all my thoughts down.
“You want to augment the binary coding in the AU consciousness coding…” Tony said signaling me to continue.
“Compacting the coding so that it goes through the processor and is read faster upping the reaction time and solving the lag glitch.” I said.
“The reaction time would be approximately the same as a human synapse making your AI…” he said.
“As close to human as a computer can be, there’s still the connectivity and application of stored information but this…” I said smiling. “This is it. I fucking love this place.” I cheered before bending down to kiss the bar.
“You’re a genius.” Tony said with a huge smile on his face.
“We still need to actually check it works but…” I started but was interrupted by Tony leaning over and kissing me.
It took me by surprise but I melted into the kiss and put a hand on his shoulder. I broke the kiss and leaned my forehead against his.
“I’m going to… use the restroom.” I said getting up. I walked to the back corridor and walked into private restroom for the VIP’s. I leaned against the wall and took a deep breath trying to calm down. I’ve been kissed before but it never felt the way it did with Tony. I wanted him to never stop. I wanted to hold onto him and… I looked in the mirror and saw how flushed I was. No matter how much Nate tried he could never get a reaction out of me like this. I needed to deal with this, now.
I walked out of the restroom and sat back down next to Tony at the bar.
“Cal…” he said.
“We need to talk.” I said. “About whatever that was.”
“I kissed you, you kissed me, same as in the Hamptons…” he said.
“That was nothing like the Hamptons.” I whispered harshly. “We were drunk and high and going through some things. It was a mistake.”
“Not for me.” he said.
“What?!” I said.
“Nothing with you is ever a mistake, and I don’t regret it.” Tony said.
“Are you insane?” I said and instead of answering me he kissed me. Fuck my brain blanked out every time he did that.
“I don’t regret that and I never will. You, you changed everything for me Cal. You see me for me. I don’t have to try to impress you to keep you around. You get me in a way no one ever has. Maybe it was wrong but to me it felt right and I think it did for you too.” He said.
I stayed quiet for a minute.
“I can’t think here.” I said getting up and going back to the restroom. I walked into the surprisingly still empty restroom. I was alone until the door opened and Tony walked in locking the door behind him.
It doesn’t make sense. I’m engaged. I’m getting married in… twenty seven days to Nate… who never makes my heart skip a beat or makes me feel like it’s going to beat out of my chest when he kisses me.
“I know it’s…” Tony started before I walked over and pulled him into a kiss. Tony didn’t hesitate to put his arms around my waist and pulled me closer.
I threaded my fingers into his hair as I kissed him. He moved us so I was against the wall next to the sink and moved his hands up and down my body. He stopped when his hands reached my thigh.
He grasped it and lifted it up to his hip and surprised me by lifting me up so both my legs were around his waist and I was sitting on the sink counter. I gasped and he took advantage of that to start kissing along my jaw down to my neck.
“Tony.” I moaned. Who knew making out could be this great? “Ah,” He started sucking at my neck and that’s when I snapped out of it.
“Tony.” I said putting my hands on his shoulders to push him back. He stopped and was panting. Damn he looked hot.
“I…uh,” he was panting too. He kept his hands on my waist as he leaned his forehead against mine.
“We should head back to the hotel… we can work on augmenting the binary.” I said looking into his eyes. His pupils were wide so his irises were barely noticeable.
“You… want to work?” He said confused.
“Yeah I left my tablet in my room.” I said giving him a minute to put it together. When he finally did he pulled me into another kiss before kissing my cheek and taking a step back.
I got down from the counter and took a look at myself.
“I’ll meet you at the car.” Tony said.
“Good call.” I said. He unlocked the door and left. I tried to make it look like… well like I just made out with my boss and decided to sleep with him. Once I was ready I walked out and headed to the car. I got into the limo and took my seat.
“I get why you like this place so much.” Tony said giving him a look telling him not to make it obvious.
“Just another bar with a long line.” Happy said.
“Oh you have no idea.” I said.
The drive seemed to take forever. When we finally got to the hotel. I quickly bid happy good night before heading in. I went straight for the elevator and waited.
“Why aren’t we going to my suite?” Tony whispered.
“Because your suite is adjoined to Bruce’s suite.” I reminded him. “Don’t want to be interrupted while we’re working.”
“Wouldn’t want that.” Tony said with a smirk.
The elevator finally opened and we stepped inside. I pressed the button to my floor and Tony pressed the close door button.
I stood in front of the doors waiting for us to get to my floor.
“You in a rush?” Tony asked.
“No.” I lied.
“Really?” he asked brushing my hair off of my shoulder. “I am. See I have this friend…” he whispered into my ear. “Smartest person I know, even smarter than yours truly, great sense of humor, snarky, when I’m with her it’s like the rest of the world ceases to exist.” He said kissing my shoulder. “She’s also drop dead gorgeous and sexy as hell.” He said kissing my neck making me moan as he ran his hand up my thigh. “Even if she doesn’t see it.”
“She sounds like something special.” I managed to get out.
“She’s that and more,” Tony said before the elevator dinged and he quickly stepped away.
A few girls got onboard and talked about pre-gaming at some guy’s room before getting off on the next floor. I quickly pressed the button to close the door and pressed the button to my floor. As soon as the doors opened again we were out and practically ran to my room. I struggled to open the door as Tony kissed and nipped at my neck. When I finally got the door open I pulled him in while he kicked the door closed.
SMUT--------------------
Quickly he had me against the wall as he kissed me. I felt his hand brush against my core making me gasp.
“Shit, you’re soaked.” He whispered before lifting me up to wrap my legs around his waist.
Tony kissed my neck as he ground his hips against mine letting me feel how hard me was.
“Ah.” I gasped rocking my hips against his. He reached behind me to start unzipping the dress. I started unbuttoning his shirt as he grinded against my core. He lowered one sleeve of my dress revealing my braless breast.
“You’re so gorgeous.” he mumbled as he kissed down my chest. “So sexy.” He muttered before licking my nipple and sucking it into his mouth.
“AH!” I cried out in pleasure. “Tony! Yes.” Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better he slipped the other sleeve down and pinched my other nipple. That was all it took push me over the edge. “AH!”
“Did… you just come?” Tony asked with a smirk.
“Yeah…” I said blushing. We hadn’t even really gotten started and had already gotten off. Shit.
“That was hot.” He said kissing me as he carried me to the bed. Once he sat me down on the edge of the bed I pulled him into a kiss and pushed off his jacket before starting to unbutton his shirt. “Wait.” He said pulling away and moving my hands off of his chest.
“You okay?” I asked.
“Yeah just… I have some scars from the shrapnel and surgery on my chest. It’s not pretty…” He said uncomfortably. I frowned at that. I moved my hands to unbutton his shirt and he took my hands again. “Cal…”
“Shush.” I said kissing him making him relax as I unbuttoned his shirt. Once it was done I pulled away and looked down. I gently traced them with my finger. “Does it hurt?”
“Not any more, sometimes I get chest cramps when it’s cold but that’s from the surgery.” He said and I nodded.
I hugged him closed as I kissed each of his scars. “You shouldn’t be ashamed of your scars, they just show you went through hells and came out the other side stronger than before.”
Tony looked at me with a soft look. He bent down and kissed me before moving me to lie down on my back.
“You’re too good.” Tony said.
“Trust me I’m not.” I said.
“You’re your own worst critic.” Tony said kissing down my chest as he kneaded my breasts. “And you over think everything..”
“Ah.” I moaned as me worked himself between my legs. He kissed each of thighs as he worked his way higher and higher rubbing his goatee on my skin sending shivers down my spine.
“Black lace…” he said rubbing his face against my panties. He started nipping and sucking until he got to my swollen bud.
I jumped a bit when he started mouthing at it.
“Tony.” I whined when he stood up.
“Don’t worry I’ll get you there.” He whispered into my ear as his hand slowly moved up my thigh. His hand slipped under my dress and rubbed me over my panties. I rocked my hips against his hand chasing another high. He moved his hand up higher and slipped them into my panties.
He parted my folds and slowly ran his fingers up and down my slit before slowly rubbing circles on my bud.
“Mh.” I moaned feeling myself get close. Just as I was about to climax again Tony stopped and moved his fingers away. “No. AH!” I gasped as he put a finger inside of me.
“Shit you’re so tight.” Tony moaned moving his finger in and out before curling it as he rubbed his palm against my clit.
“Ah yes.” I moaned.
“Feel good?” He asked as he nibbled on my earlobe and kept moving his hand speeding up.
“Yes so good…” I answered and he took that was his cue to slip in another finger. “Fuck yes Tony don’t stop…”
“Wasn’t planning on it.” He said scissoring his fingers before curling them on just the right spot.
“AH!” I cried out as I came. Tony kept going while rubbing my bud with his thumb. He moved his hand away leaving me a panting mess.
“Tired?” He asked.
“Not even close.” I panted.
“Really?” He asked with a smirk. “I’m glad because I want to see how many times I can get you to scream out my name like you just did. I want to get you as many orgasms.” He said nipping one of my nipples making me cry out. “As you can give me? How’s that sound?”
“Like I want you to stop talking and make good on those promises.” I said.
“Good.” He said moving his hands up my thighs and grasping my butt cheeks before pulling my panties down. He lifted up the dress before settling between my legs.
He parted my folds before giving my slit one long lick. He licked my bud with the tip of his tongue before sucking it into his mouth. I threaded my fingers into Tony’s hair and gave it a tug making him moan. He moved a finger back inside of me before adding another one, curling them in and out as he work me. I kept tugging on his hair and when I started rocking my hips he put a hand across my hips to hold me down. He took his hand off of me with a pop and moved his tongue into me to join his fingers.
“Ah yes. AH! TONY!” I cried when his thumb ran hard fast circles on my bud I was a goner.
“Mh.” Tony moaned as he licked his lips.
“What are you doing to me?” I panted.
“Taking care of you.” He said lifting my dress up so he could kiss my stomach. I sat up and unbuckled his belt.
“I need you.” I said unzipping his pants.
“I need you too.” He said pulling his pants and boxers down. I hesitantly stroked him hoping I was doing it right but stopped when he groaned. “Cal… uh… Need to stop if you want me to make good on my promise.”
“Sorry.” I said letting go but was surprised when bent down to kiss me.
“Don’t be sorry, I like that but right now I want you more.” He said.
“Then what’s stopping you?” I asked.
“I uh… do you have a condom?” Tony asked.
“Wasn’t really planning on this… But I’m on the pill and I’m clean. I know you are too so if you want to…” I started.
“Yes, yes…” He said kissing my neck as he lined himself and pushed in. “Yes.”
“Ah!” I cried out as Tony filled me up. He buried himself to the hilt and stopped for a second before pulling out and pushing back in grinding his hips a bit before pulling out and repeating the gesture. “What are you… UH!” I gasped when he rubbed against the right spot.
“There it is.” He said with a grin before pulling out and slamming in.
“OH! Fuck!” I cried out as Tony kept going me hitting at that exact same spot again and again. I moved my legs up higher digging my heels into Tony’s butt spurring him on.
“Shit you feel so good Cal, so damn tight around me. Taking me so good.” He groaned nuzzling into my neck.
“Tony please… more faster… harder.” I moaned.
“Whatever you want.” He said kneeling on the bed and lifting me up so that I was on his lap. He bent one of my knees so it was against his chest, the change in position opening me up even more than before and letting him get deeper and hit my pleasure point harder than before.
“Tony I… AH! Tony! Fuck!” I panted as I came so hard my ears started ringing.
“Hayley, baby I need you to wake up, there’s still time…”
“Uh!” Tony grunted as he rocked his hips a bit before finally spilling inside of me. We were both panting. Me laying on the bed with Tony collapsed on me trying to catch his breath. We were quiet until Tony started chuckling.
“What’s so funny?” I asked.
“Didn’t know you liked it fast and hard.” Tony said.
“Neither did I.” I said before laughing. “You know when you said you were good at this… I thought it was your ego talking.”
“Ouch.” Tony said “you wound me”
“But I was wrong. You are… freaking amazing.” I said.
“Not so bad yourself.” He said kissing my shoulder before lifting himself up and pulling out. “I might need another minute before I can go again.”
“That’s fine.” I said sitting up and pulling my dress off over my head.
“Or maybe less.” Tony said he said watching me.
“Come on.” I said moving up on the bed. “Take a breather, I’ll do some work.”
“Yeah?” he asked.
“Never been on top before.” I said.
“You’ve never…Why are you marrying…” he started before I kissed him.
“No, not tonight.” I said.
“Okay.” He said kissing me. He quickly moved to lie at the center of the bed on his back. I slowly moved to straddle his waist and slowly rocked my hips against his moving lower and lower until I bumped against his length. I bent down and kissed tony and his hands grasped my butt pushing he and me down grinded upwards bumping my clit.
“Ah.” I moaned.
“Ready whenever you are.” Tony whispered. I lifted myself up a bit before reaching down to line myself up. I rubbed the head up and down my slit a few times. “Uh don’t tease.”
“Not teasing.” I said as I lowered myself on the head gasping at how much different it felt. “Ah”
I moved down a bit more slowly before slamming myself down making Tony gasp.
“AH!” He gasped.
“Yeah.” I said rocking my hips. “So much better than the missionary.”
I kept rocking my hips before starting to move of off him and slamming back down. I kept doing that before bending down to kiss Tony as I bounced on and off of him.
I was still really sensitive from before so it didn’t take long for me to reach the end.
“Hold on.” Tony said putting his arms around me and burying his face in my neck as he started thrusting to meet my hips.
“Ah!” I gasped clutching onto him as I moved as fast as I can. I clenched around him and went over the edge. “Okay, way better than the missionary.”
Tony laughed. “There are so many more you don’t even know about.” Tony said holding me.
“Any favorites?” I asked noticing that Tony was still hard and inside of me.
“You trust me?” He asked.
“To give me another orgasm? Completely.” I answered.
“Okay.” He said pulling out of me making me wince at the emptiness. “You ever tried getting it from behind?”
“I’m not doing…” I started.
“Hands and knees.” Tony corrected.
“Nope. How is it?” I asked.
“My favorite.” He said.
“Well then…” I said moving off of him and getting on my knees. “Where do you want me?”
“Face the window, closer to the middle of the bed.” He said. “Perfect.”
Once I was in the right spot. I got on my hands and knees and looked behind at Tony.
“You coming?” I said.
“I hope so.” He said moving closer behind me. He ran his fingers through my slit and moaned. “You’re perfect.”
“Tony.” I whined. He moved behind me and started kissing up my back. His hands moved up and down before reaching down to knead my breasts. “Ah… please.” I whined as I felt him rub himself against my slit.
I felt him line himself up before grasping my hip and pushing in in one go.
“Ah!” I moaned.
“You’re even tighter like this.” Tony groaned as he pulled out. He pushed back as he slammed in making him go deeper.
“Yes Tony, go hard.” I moaned.
“Fuck yes.” Tony groaned as he fucked me harder and faster than before.
“I should have said something sooner.” Tony groaned. “We could have been doing this before.”
“Tony please don’t stop.” I begged.
“I’m not going to not yet.” He said rubbing my clit as he kept going.
“Ah!, Fuck I’m coming.” I cried out. “I want to feel you too.”
“Yes baby yes.” He said as I came hard around him.
“Tony!” I gasped. I couldn’t hold myself up so I collapsed onto the bed as Tony kept fucking me through my orgasm. Tony kept ramming into me chasing his own end.
“Ah!” I whined. It hurt but felt so good.
“Cal I’m close give me one more. One…” he said hitting that spot again giving me another one.
“AH.” I groaned as Tony jerked his hips a few more times spilling inside of me before collapsing on me. “That… way better than the missionary.”
Tony chuckled and lifted himself off of me while I moved to hug a pillow. I was really tired. I felt Tony move around and then felt him hug me as he kissed my back.
“Hm.” I hummed feeling more relaxed that I ever remembered being.
“That was… the best sex I’ve ever had.” Tony said.
“Hm, I don’t have as much… experience but yeah.” I said. “Are you staying?”
“Yeah? Do you not want me to?” Tony asked.
“Well normally after you’re done you send someone to get your date out. That someone being me.” I said.
“You’re not a one night stand.” Tony said pulling up the sheets around us. “You’re my best friend.”
At that I started laughing.
“Cal?” Tony said concerned.
“I cheated on my fiancé with my boss who gave me more orgasms in a few hours that he ever did the entire time we’ve been together.” I said laughing.
“Okay.” Tony said curling up behind me. “I think you’re starting to come down from everything. And no talking about the fiancé. Not tonight anyway.”
“Tony?” I said.
“Yeah?” He asked.
“Thanks for… everything.” I said.
“My pleasure.” He said kissing my shoulder before reaching over to shut off the lights.
The Next Morning-
I felt the sun hit my face and I groaned before rolling over, hiding my face in a pillow. The pillow was hard and moved. I opened my eyes and saw Tony sleeping on his side with his arm around my waist.
“Mh, morning.” He said.
“Morning.” Right, I made out with my boss in a bar bathroom. I invited him back to my room. We had sex. Great sex. Amazing sex. Lots of great amazing sex. Oh fuck.
Tony leaned over and moved a lock of my hair behind my ear before kissing me. Well I already slept with him last night, and… if I had to do it all over again I would.
I put my hand on Tony’s back and moved closer as I kissed him. He moved so that he was hovering over me and settled himself between my legs. I could feel his morning wood against my thigh. I reached down and stroked him a few times.
“Mh. Cal.” Tony groaned. I opened my legs more and Tony pushed in slowly, letting me get used to the stretch.
“Mh.” I moaned feeling a bit sore from last night. Tony started a slow pace before speeding up a bit, just enjoying the moment. He bent down to kiss me as he held onto the headboard for leverage.
“Shit” Tony groaned.
“It’s okay I’m close.” I said.
“Perfect.” He said pulling my knee up and picking up the pace.
“Tony!” I cried out as I dug my fingers into his back.
“That’s it, hold on just ah!” He groaned reaching between us to rub my clit.
END SMUT------------
“Ah!” I gasped. Tony gave me a few more thrusts before groaning into my neck and spilling inside of me. We stayed like that for a few seconds before my phone started to ring.
“Yours or mine?” Tony asked.
“Mine.” I said reaching for it and picking it up. “Hello?”
“Cal I’m downstairs.” Kol said.
“What do you mean you’re… right brunch.” I said.
“Did you seriously forget?” Kol asked. “I literally had to fight Marcel to be the one to pick you up.”
“No just, crazy night.” I said sitting up. “Give me twenty minutes to shower and get dressed and I’ll meet you down there.”
“Mind if I come up…” he started.
“No!” I answered quickly. “It’s just I’m a bit of a mess…”
“You’re version of messy is my definition of clean. Sixteenth floor right?” he said.
“Yeah but…” I started.
“Getting in the elevator now.” He said and I hung up.
“Shit.” I said getting out of bed and quickly picking up all the scattered clothes.
“What’s wrong?” Tony said.
“I forgot I was having brunch with my dad and brothers. Kol’s on his way up here now.” I said quickly tossing Tony his clothes.
“Shit.” Tony said jumping out of bed to get dressed. I quickly picked up my clothes and tossed them onto the armchair in the corner before tidying up the bed so it didn’t look like someone else was there last night. “Robe.” Tony said handing me a bathrobe.
“Thanks.” I said slipping it on. “You need to…” I started before there was a knock at the door. “Hide.” I said.
“Hide where?” Tony said.
“Bathroom.” I said.
Tony quickly ran in and closed the door behind him. I took a deep breath before going to answer the door.
“Morning.” Kol cheered letting himself in.
“Morning, sorry about this.” I said.
“You’re fine I actually showed up a bit early.” Kol said.
“Really, should have called ahead so I wouldn’t have to keep you waiting.” I said.
“Well I missed our sibling time and thought I’d…” Kol said before he tilted his head and looked at the floor confused. “Why is there a men’s shoe in your room?”
“Oh!” I said panicking for a second. “Tony and I had a bit of work to do and my computer was down here so we just stayed here. His shoes were bugging him so he had Bruce bring some others from his room. Must’ve forgotten them.
“Right.” Kol said eying me suspiciously. “I’m just gonna…” he said walking towards the bathroom.
“Kol don’t…” I started but it was too late and Tony just stood there awkwardly as he was half way to putting on his pants.
“Oh hi…” Tony said awkwardly and Kol crossed his arms and gave me a look.
“If I say it’s not what it looks like would you believe me?” I said.
“Seeing as I’m usually the one hiding in the bathroom or closet in these situations which by the way would have been a netter idea no.” Kol answered.
“What gave it away?” I asked.
“You tend to get very specific and detailed when you lie.” Kol said.
“You do do that.” Tony said and I shot him a look. “I should probably…”
“Yeah.” I said stepping away from the bathroom so Tony could walk out. “Don’t forget your shoe.”
“Right, Plane leaves at six.” Tony said.
“See you there.” I said before he walked out and left me alone with Kol.
“What the hell Cal?” He started.
“Can you just not…” I started as I grabbed some clothes.
“You slept with your boss, you cheated on your fiancé.” Kol said.
“We’re not talking about this.” I said.
“Damn it Cal you’re the responsible one, you’re the one that gets the rest of us out of trouble not, you don’t do this.” Kol said.
“Can you for once act like the older brother? Have you for once stopped to consider that I’m so great at helping everyone else deal with their problems but that I might actually have some issues of my own? I’m engaged to the perfect guy and I slept with my boss and I don’t regret it. I should but I don’t and I don’t know what that means?” I said tearing up. “I can’t stop screwing up.”
“Cal…” Kol started.
“I’m fine just… need a few minutes.” I said grabbing my clothes and going to shower. I quickly showered and blow-dried my hair leaving it loose and wavy. I slipped into a white lace mini skirt and a half sleeve light blue button up. I felt a bit sore from last night but it wasn’t worse than doing lunges on leg day. I walked out and slipped on some heels and was ready to go.
“Elijah said I could take the Bentley but you have to drive it back.” Kol said handing me the keys.
“Sounds like something he’d say.” I said taking them and getting in the car. I started it and drove off.
“Are we really not going to talk about it?” Kol asked.
“Nope.” I said.
“What are you going to do?” Kol asked.
“I don’t know.” I said.
“What do you mean you don’t know?” Kol asked.
“I mean I don’t know. I’m supposed to be getting married in less than a month, Nate and I have had our issues but they’ve never been as bad as this. He’s going to hate me… Fuck Dad’s going to hate me.” I said
“No he’s not. Marcel loves you. You could commit murder and he’d still love you.” Kol said.
“Doesn’t change the fact that I really fucked up. And I don’t even feel bad because the sex was; I didn’t even know sex could be that great.” I said.
“Nate still hasn’t gotten any better?” He asked.
“How do you know about that?” I asked.
“Bekah and I talk.” Kol said.
“About me?” I asked.
“She had some concerns and honestly so do I.” He admitted.
“Look,” I said as I pulled up to the gate. “Not a word of this to anyone.”
“Okay.” Kol said.
“I’m serious Kol.” I said.
“I can keep a secret.” Kol said.
“And no snide comments.” I said. “I know where all your dead bodies are buried.”
“Hey, you’ve kept all of my secrets and bailed me out more times than I can count, I can be the grown up for once.” He said.
“Good.” I said as I pulled up to the house. I parked in the garage before heading inside. “Ah its so good to be home.”
“Its good to have you home,” Dad greeted.
“Dad.” I cheered as I hugged him.
“Uh I missed you.” He said hugging me back.
“Missed you too.” I said.
“Are you eating? You look thinner than the last time I saw you.” He said.
“Still the same size.” I said not mentioning that I had actually dropped a few sizes because of all the running I’ve been doing to deal with stress from work, the wedding, the dragon lady, Nate and now, sleeping with Tony.
“Well, I had them make a full spread for brunch, even made some beignets.” Dad said.
“Yum.” I said.
“Callie.” Elijah said walking in.
“Hey you.” I said hugging him.
“Did you lose weight?” He asked.
“Same size.” I said. “I have something for you.” I handed Elijah the envelope with the signed Prenup.
“Oh, Nate signed it?” Elijah asked.
“He did.” I said.
“How’d it go?” Dad asked.
“He said he was fine with everything. Everything.” I said.
‘So he didn’t ask about…” Dad said.
“No he did not.” I said.
“Honey you have to tell him.” Dad said.
“I know. But enough about that, this is family time.” I said.
“You’re right.” Dad said. “Let’s go eat.”
After Brunch-
“So how’s Nate?” dad asked as we took a walk around the property.
“He’s good, studying for the BAR.” I said.
“Will and Clint?” Dad asked.
“Will’s also studying for the bar while planning out a birthday party I already told him I didn’t want and my bachelorette party which is apparently going to be very big.” I said.
“And Clint?” He asked.
“He’s great. Working a lot. He’s fixing up his house and expanding his business. He has like three new contracts lined up and it just keeps coming.” I said.
“And your mother?” dad asked.
“Guessing she’s been calling you non-stop?” I said.
“I have a prepaid phone she calls just for her.” Dad said making me laugh.
“She’s been…I’ve never seen her care about something as much as she cares about this wedding.” I said. “And by wedding I mean Nate’s trust fund.”
“I thought as much. Her divorce payment should be coming in very soon, should last her a few months.” Dad said.
“If she doesn’t blow through it like she always does, which she will.” I said.
“Are you sure you’re okay?” dad said.
“Yeah, just been really busy.” I said.
“You’ve never been a really good liar.” Dad said.
“No I just can’t lie to you.” I said sighing. “Work has been busy and Nate’s been way better but I feel like something’s missing. On paper he’s perfect and getting married is what makes sense but…”
“But?” dad said.
“You ever get that feeling that something isn’t right. Even if everything is exactly the way it should be it’s just wrong and then the thing that is completely insane and wrong in so many ways just feels so right and I should just feel so guilty but I don’t.” I said.
“What do you have to feel guilty about?” dad said confused.
“I-I just do.” I said.
“You’re way too hard on yourself, always have been.” Dad said. “Cal the first time I met you, you were the perfect guest. You said thank you to everyone. Was polite to a fault and was seen and not heard.” Dad said. “You were an adult in a six year olds body.”
“I did fight with Bekah.” I said.
“And then you apologized to all of us and wrote us apology cards.” Dad said.
“It was the right thing to do.” I said.
“You were just a kid. You worked yourself to the edge to finish school early. You basically ran the office when you were interning, finished three degrees in a year and a half. I don’t even know the last time you weren’t working or studying on vacation. You’ve not even twenty yet and you’re ahead of most thirty or forty year olds. Nate is the only guy you’ve ever been with, it’s okay to have doubts.” Dad said.
“And if I do?” I asked.
“That’s up to you. It’s your life you call the shots.” Dad said.
The talk with Dad did make me feel slightly better, slightly. Now I just needed help figuring out how to tell Nate.
“Hey you okay?” Tony asked sitting across from me on the jet.
“Fine. Just have a lot to think about” I said.
“I can imagine.” He said. “Do you want to talk about last night?’’
“What’s there to say?” I answered. “I don’t regret it, I just don’t know what comes next.”
“For the record I don’t regret it either.” Tony said before the announcement that we were descending into New York and had to fasten our seatbelts.
I got dropped off at home and went to the first place I always went to when something happened.
I walked into Clint’s apartment.
“You’re back!.” Clint cheered.
“Hi, I need to borrow my bridesmaid.” I said walking to Nat and taking the wine glass out of her hand and helping her out of her seat. “Be back.”
“Uh sure?” Clint said confused as I led Nat out of the apartment.
‘Where are we going?” Nat said.
‘Roof.” I said pulling her into my apartment ignoring Steve and Bucky making out on the couch and climbing up the fire escape. Once we were up there Nat sat on a lawn chair someone had left.
I started pacing not knowing how to say it.
“What’s going on?” Nat said. “Did Nate screw up again…”
“I slept with Tony.” I blurted out.
“What?!” She exclaimed.
“I slept with Tony.” I said.
“Wha… seriously?” She said.
“Yeah.” I said.
“How?” Nat asked.
“I was going to go out with my brother but he cancelled so we ended up going to a bar…” I said.
“You were drunk and he took advantage?” Nat asked.
“No, no gosh no. He had like two drinks I had like two shots. We started talking about work and I had this great idea, got caught in the moment and he kissed me. I freaked out then confronted him about it he did it again and I went to the restroom. He followed and I kissed him to prove to myself that I didn’t feel something but I did and it just kind of went from there.” I said sitting down on the lawn chair.
“Are you sure you weren’t too drunk to…” She started.
“Tony can be a lot of things but he’s actually a gentlemen. Full consent before during and the morning after.” I said.
“There was a morning after, as in he stayed the night?” Natasha asked.
“Yeah, I really fucked up and I should feel guilty but I don’t and the sex was amazing.” I cried.
“Wow, I was not expecting this.” Natasha said.
“I’m the worst.” I said.
“No you’re not, you made a mistake.” Natasha said.
“Does it count as a mistake if I don’t regret it?” I asked.
“Do you have feelings for Tony?” Natasha asked.
“No, I mean he’s one of my closest friends and I love the guy but romantically… I don’t know what I feel. When he kissed me… It felt different than with Nate. My heart was racing and as corny as it sounds there was sparks. I felt something. Something I’ve never felt with Nate.” I said.
“You have to tell him.” Natasha said.
“I know he’s going to hate me.” I said.
“Nate can act like an idiot but he does love you.” Natasha said. “Call him.”
A Few Hours Later-
I sat across the table staring at my coffee mug while Nate talked about his and Chuck’s latest adventures.
“How was Chicago?” Nate finally asked.
“That’s actually what I wanted to talk to you about. Something happened.” I said.
“Are you okay?” He asked.
“Yeah just… Nate I made a mistake, I really fucked up.” I said feeling my chest tighten and feeling out of breath.
“Cal, hey, it’s okay.” Nate said.
“No it’s not Nate I…” I started.
“It doesn’t matter.” He said.
“Once I tell you…” I started.
“Then don’t tell me. You forgave me for my worst screw up, I almost ruined things beyond repair and you gave me a second chance. I don’t need to know what it is and if you need me to say it then I forgive whatever it is you did.” Nate said.
“Nate I have to tell you…” I said.
“No you don’t. You gave me a second chance and now I’m giving you the same.” Nate said. “The only thing that matters is that we’re getting married. Nothing else matters. I love you Cal.”
With that he hugged me.
“Love you too.” I said. Where the hell was selfish Jerk Nate when you needed him. Now I just felt even guiltier but I couldn’t even get a word in without Nate telling me it didn’t matter.
Shit.
