Chapter 158

The Following Morning…

 

I never made it home. The phone never stopped ringing. The one downside of international business, It may be night where you are but it’s always morning somewhere and when the screw up is on your side you adjust to everyone else’s schedule.

 

So here I was currently trying to talk the Maltese Minister of Foreign Affairs into calming down the Minister of the Interior so he wouldn’t sue us. Only problem was they apparently had their own beef with each other.

 

“Mistakes were made by both parties but a public debacle would not only make us look bad but you as well. Malta relies on tourism, it’s a huge part of your economy. How would it look to the world if you were seen as a hub of human trafficking, incapable of keep your tourist and even your own children safe?” I said.

 

“Is that a threat?” The Minister of the Interior said.

 

“No I’m merely stating a fact. It is in both of our best interests to settle this matter quietly. We will take responsibility and pay for all the damages. Reparations will be made to the officers who were injured, I will personally make sure of it.” I said.

 

“You cross our border without authorization and you just want to sweep this under the rug?” He said. “What about the agents who were here? They should have been arrested.”

 

“They have been dealt with accordingly. Do we have an agreement?” I said.

 

“I’ll have to get back to you.” He said before hanging up.

 

“Uh.” I groaned before I picked up a dart and threw it at a photo of Steve I had pinned on the dart board.

 

“Knock knock.” Clint said coming in before he saw the dartboard. “This a bad time?”

 

“The worst.” I said as my phone started blinking.

 

“I uh, brought you some clothes and coffee from that place in town.” Clint said pacing it on my desk. “Thought you might need it since you didn’t come home last night.”

 

“I’ve been a bit busy avoiding a law suit.” I said taking the coffee before my phone started ringing. “Friday put everything on hold, I need a minute.”

 

“Yes boss.” Friday said as I took a sip of my coffee.

 

“You need more than a minute. You need sleep.” Clint said.

 

“I’ll sleep when this mess is taken care of.” I said looking as a new caller was put on hold. “I was about to head to the house. Need to shower and change before I head to the city.”

 

“You’re going back there?” Clint said.

 

“Yeah, I have a meeting with the board. I managed to stop the lawsuit with the condition that we make reparations and cover all the damage. We don’t have enough in the budget for that and to keep this place afloat so I’m going to go grovel for some money.” I said throwing a letter opener to the dart board and sticking it right in between Steve’s eyes.

 

At that minute Steve walked in.

 

“I was just going to check in see if I can…” Steve started.

 

“You’ve done enough. Bye.” I said not even bothering to look at him. I saw Clint subtly shake his head signaling for him to go before he said anything else.

 

“Hales I get that you’re mad…” Clint started.

 

“I’m not mad Clint I’m pissed. Because it wasn’t just one of you, it wasn’t two of you but all three. Not one of you three had the slightest bit of common sense to check the records or even ask.” I said.

 

“We didn’t have time.” Clint said.

 

“Yes you did because you should have even gone on that mission.” I said. “And now I don’t have time for this because I have to keep cleaning up your mess.”

 

“Okay I get it and we are sorry but kicking cap out?” Clint said.

 

“He’s lucky he’s not fired.” I said as the phone started ringing. “Friday?”

 

“It’s New York.” She answered.

 

“I have to take that.” I said.

 

Meanwhile- Third Person’s POV

 

Steve had left Hayley’s office. He was going to apologize and to see if maybe she had changed her mind but from the look of things he was the last person she wanted to see.

 

So he decided to go talk to Bucky. He found his other soulmate in the gym lifting weights.

 

“Hey Buck.” Steve said.

 

“Steve.” Bucky said as he kept working out.

 

“Can we talk for a bit?” Steve said. Bucky didn’t say anything just kept lifting his weights finishing his set before putting the weights down and he sat up waiting for him to start. “I uh… I was thinking that maybe we should take a vacation somewhere. Maybe a road trip see the sights. I have to be out of the compound for a bit.”

 

“Because Hayley kicked you out?” Bucky said and Steve paled.

 

“You know about that?” He said.

 

“Everyone knows about that.” Bucky said.

 

“Well that was a mistake. The intel was wrong and anyway. I was gonna go travel for a bit and was wondering if you wanted to go.” Steve said.

 

“No.” Bucky said before laying back and getting ready to start working out again.

 

“But I’m leaving for two weeks, maybe more. You’re just going to be here?” Steve said.

 

“I’m not the one that got kicked out.” Bucky said grabbing the bar and lifting it up.

 

Steve felt as if Bucky had just sucker punched him but didn’t say anything. Instead he just left and went to go pack his bags.

 

Two Hours Later- Hayley’s POV

 

I was just finishing up a bit of paperwork and grabbing ay files the board may want to see before heading out.

 

“Hey.” Steve said passing by with his packed bag. “I was just about to head out.”

 

“Kay.” I said.

 

“If you need me…” he started.

 

“We’ll figure it out.” I said packing up the files. “Anything else?”

 

“No. I’ll check in later.” Steve said.

 

I grabbed my things as well as the clothes Clint had brought me before I headed home. I took a quick shower and got dressed in A half sleeved black peplum top with dark skinny jeans and black pointed toe suede heels.

 

 

I gave my hair a quick blow out before driving back into the city.

 

I thought it would be an hour maybe two to convince them to give us some money. It wasn’t. I tried to get a word in to explain the situation but instead I was being lectured like a four year old who took a candy bar from a store without paying and wouldn’t let me get a word in. And just when one started another picked up.

 

When I finally did get a word in it was almost lunch and they decided to cut me short. So instead I stood in front of the door and gave them a taste of their own medicine. They were ignoring and talking over me so I changed tactics. I filibustered the shit out of them.

 

For five hours I stood between them and their lunch. I hadn’t had breakfast. I hadn’t slept and at one point I started citing every law, tax break loophole and everything I could remember quoting it word for word. I basically annoyed the shit out of them until their hunger and need to pee won out and they had no choice but to give me the money to cover the damage and a little extra for some cushion.

 

Despite everything I do and what they’ve seen me do, people still doubt me.

 

I walked into the lab at 4:30 in the afternoon ready to just drop.

 

“Hey you.” Tony said. “Did the old guys upstairs hold you up? I thought we were going to grab lunch not dinner.”

 

“Sorry. They held me up, lectured me and got me mad so I got back at them by filibustering and not letting them take their lunch for five hours.” I said.

 

“Five hours?” Tony said. “I would have run out of there after ten minutes.”

 

“That’s why I stood in front of the door.” I said and Tony laughed. “They didn’t even get a pee break.”

 

“Why didn’t I give you this job years ago?” Tony said. “Could have saved myself so much trouble.”

 

“Cause this used to be SHIELD’s job and you weren’t paying for everything.” I said.

 

“Ah the good old days.” Tony said as he sat down on the couch next to me. I curled up next to him and hugged him. “So I got a call from Wilson today.”

 

“You bought the beachball from Castaway?” I said.

 

“Sam Wilson.” He said. “Apparently he lost my redwing prototype. It’s at the bottom of the Mediterranean.”

 

“Did you give him a hard time?” I said.

 

“I told him this is why Rhodey gets all the fun upgrades.” He said. “I was already working on another one. It’s going to synch to his gauntlets. So what exactly happened. I thought all missions were grounded.”

 

“They were. Steve, Natasha and Clint jumped the gun on some intel we got even though I rejected the mission request. Blew up one of Interpol’s Ops in Malta and caused an international debacle I’ve been cleaning up since yesterday.” I said. “Hence why I met with the board.”

 

“Ouch. Did you yell at them?” Tony asked.

 

“Yeah, and kicked Steve out.” I said.

 

“What?” Tony said.

 

“Kicked out is a strong word. I put him on mandatory leave.” I said.

 

“You kicked spangles out?” Tony said again.

 

“Guess I did.” I said feeling sleepy.

 

“So where is he?” Tony asked.

 

“Don’t know, too tired to care.” I said.

 

“Do you wanna grab dinner?” he said.

 

“Mhmm later. I want a nap.” I said.

 

“On the Futon?” Tony said. “We can go upstairs.”

 

“Too far.” I said.

 

“Okay hold on.” He said getting up and setting up the futon so it was flat and there was room for both of us to lay flat. Tony gently moved me over slipping my heels of my feet before getting in next to me. “My back is going to kill me later. Might be getting too old for a futon.”

 

“Just a little nap.” I said putting my arms around him before drifting off to sleep.

 

Of course a short nap turned into me sleeping until 8pm.

 

“Hayley? Hales.” Tony said. “Come on sunshine. Open up those pretty green eyes.”

 

“Mhm too early.” I said.

 

“It’s 8pm.” Tony said.

 

“Too late back to sleep.” I said.

 

“Hales.” Tony said as he started tickling me.

 

“Tony!” I shrieked sitting up.

 

“You haven’t eaten all day.” He said.

 

“I had coffee.” I said.

 

“Coffee isn’t food. I’ll order in. We can even eat in bed and watch tv?” He said.

 

“Okay but I’m borrowing clothes. Forgot to pack.” I said.

 

“Clothing is always optional.” Tony said with a smirk.

 

“Get a lot of naked women wandering around here?” I teased.

 

“Uh… just one. She stops by sometimes. Passes out on my futon. She’s great you’d really like her.” Tony said making me smile as I kissed him.

 

“So food?” I asked.

 

“What are you in the mood for?” Tony asked.

 

“I could go for anything.” I said.

 

“Stir fry noodles from that place…” Tony said.

 

“Sounds good.” I said.

 

“Friday put in the order.” Tony said.

 

“Yes Boss.” Friday said.

 

We headed upstairs to the penthouse. I grabbed one of Tony’s vintage band tee, black sabbath, and slipped that on without any bottoms, just my panties.

 

Tony was on the phone with Pepper probably talking about R and D things or something about the foundation.

 

I jumped into bed when my phone started ringing.

 

“Hello?” I answered.

 

“Hey.” Clint said.

 

“Hey.” I said.

 

“Just wanted to see if you were on your way home.” Clint said.

 

“Uh No I’m actually with Tony.” I said. “The meeting with the board ran a bit long and I crashed right after. Think it’s better if I just stay here for tonight and head back tomorrow.”

 

“Yeah, that’s better. Thought we should probably talk.” He said.

 

“We will tomorrow.” I said. “I’m just really tired right now.”

 

“Okay. Text me when you’re on your way back.” He said.

 

“I will.” I said. “Love you.”

 

“Love you too.” Clint said before hanging up.

 

“Clint checking in on you?” Tony said walking in with a big of food.

 

“Yeah. Pepper or Rhodey?” I asked him.

 

“Pepper.” Tony said. “She says Hi. Got a lot of calls from the board. Says she wishes she had thought of that filibustering idea before.”

 

“Got that from Will.” I said taking my box.

 

“My black sabbath tee looks better on you.” He said.

 

“It’s comfy.” I said smiling.

 

“Think this will all blow over by next week?” Tony said.

 

“I kind hoped it’s blow over by today but it was a pretty big screw up and people still haven’t forgotten Johannesburg and Sokovia. You’re lucky you never had to deal with those hard asses at the state department.” I said.

 

“Oh, yeah they love me there.” Tony said sarcastically. “Especially the Secretary of State. I tore down his favorite bar.”

 

“When you say tore it down, do you mean you crashed into it and just gave the owner above asking because it was a total loss or…” I said.

 

“I bought it just so I could tear it down to prove a point.” Tony said.

 

“What was the point?” I asked.

 

“Don’t remember but I know I made it.” He said and I laughed. “We picked a good time to go on vacation.”

 

“Remind me to turn my phone off when we get to Paris.” I said.

 

“Won’t be a problem. I’ll keep you distracted.” Tony said.

 

“Oh, you have big plans?” I said.

 

“Maybe.” He said.

 

“Okay but just a reminder, no over the top gifts.” I said.

 

“It’s our anniversary.” Tony said with a smirk.

 

“I know but just… you know no six foot tall stuffed rabbits or nothing too outrageous.” I said.

 

“You just took out all the fun of gift shopping.” He said. “Hales I promise you that whatever I get you will be outrageous in a good way.”

 

“I can live with that.” I said putting down my noodles.

 

“Were your noodles not good?” Tony asked.

 

“No I’m just full already.” I said. “My appetite’s a bit off. Probably stress.”

 

“Or…” He said looking down with a grin at my stomach.

 

“That’s a no.” I said. “Aunt Flo left yesterday.”

 

“Ah.” He said looking down a bit disappointed but still smiling.

 

“Boy or girl?” I said.

 

“What?” Tony said.

 

“When you see us having a kid, do you see a boy or a girl?” I asked.

 

“A girl.” Tony said. “I don’t know why but it’s a girl. Probably because if it’s a boy they’d turn out like me and… I don’t want that.”

 

“I’d want our kid to turn out like you.” I said. “Smart, funny, kind, loyal and generous. You take care of everyone around you. You have a huge heart and yeah you make mistakes but you always learn from them so you can be better the next time around.”

 

“So you think we should get a starter kid or something to mess up so we get it right with out kid?” He said putting his food down and pulling me onto his lap.

 

“Kids aren’t machines Tony. It’s trial and error. We’ll figure it out as we go.” I said. “Besides if there’s one thing our parents taught us it’s what not to do.”

 

“Like pay attention to your kid.” He said.

 

“Don’t sell your kid to the Chinese Triad.” I said.

 

“Don’t exploit your kid’s genius.” Tony said.

 

“That’s a good one.” I said. “Mh, Don’t fake your death and leave your kid at the mercy of a murdering psychopath.”

 

“I think that one’s just common sense. Besides no one here is dying. We’re going to stick around until were old and grey and me being eccentric is because I’m old and senile not because I’m rich.” He said.

 

“Pinky Promise?” I said putting up my pinky.

 

“Pinky promise.” He said linking his pinky with mine.

 

“I’m holding you to this one.” I said.

 

“It goes both ways.” He said as I started kissing him before curling up in his arms.

 

The Next Morning…

 

I woke up feeling refreshed and well rested. Tony was still asleep next to me so I decided to get out of bed and make us some breakfast. The kitchen was well stocked… well stocked with everything I needed at least. I decided to play it safe and make us some pancakes with a side of bacon.

 

I was just starting to make the bacon when Tony wondered in.

 

“Morning.” He said hugging me from behind and kissing my cheek.

 

“Morning.” I said. “Pancakes and coffee are ready. Bacon’s going to be a few minutes.”

 

“I miss waking up to you making breakfast.” He said.

 

“So you miss having a personal chef?” I said.

 

“You know what I mean.” He said still holding me.

 

We ate and then I got dressed and headed home. All the major issues had been resolved. I had Friday send accounting the instructions about forwarding the reparations through the proper channels and I had PR on stand by in case the Maltese decided to stab us in the back and leak this to the press.

 

I got home and Lucky ran out to greet me.

 

“Oh hey buddy.” I said petting him. “I feel like I haven’t seen you in forever.”

 

I walked inside with Lucky right behind me.

 

“Hey.” Clint said.

 

“Hey.” I said.

 

“I made grilled cheese and tomato soup for lunch.” He said.

 

“Yum.” I answered. “I’m just going to put my bag upstairs.”

 

With that I headed upstairs and quickly slipped off my heels getting more comfortable before heading down for lunch.

 

Clint had already set the table and was just waiting for me.

 

“This looks good.” I said taking a bite. “Had a good day?”

 

“It’s going okay. Training the new recruits. Everyone’s doing their own thing since Steve’s gone.” Clint said. “Tons of paperwork.”

 

“Welcome to my world.” I said.

 

“You still mad at me?” Clint said.

 

“I’m mad at you at work not at home.” I said.

 

“How’s that supposed to work? You’ve been avoiding me for almost two days.” Clint said.

 

“I’ve been busy working for two days.” I said. “You guys messed up big time.”

 

“We thought the intel was good, there wasn’t anyone there and we believed Cap. Should have known he was just acting out because you were out with Bucky.” He said.

 

“He has been known to throw a tantrum every once in a while.” I said. “You should have known better. Next time check with me or ask Friday. Seriously dealing with politicians gives me a headache.”

 

“Promise.” Clint said.

 

“And I expect all paperwork to be done right the first time.” I said.

 

“You were serious about that?” Clint said and I glared at him. “Kidding. I’ll get it done.”

 

“Good.” I said.

 

After Lunch I took a shower and got dressed before heading to the compound. I have a few things I needed to go over with accounting. With the increase of funds we’d have a bit more wiggle room in the budget for whatever came up.

 

I was just coming out of a meeting when I spotted Natasha.

 

“Hey.” She said.

 

“Hey.” I said. “How’s training going?”

 

“It’s… going.” She said not entirely convinced of that.

 

“Uhuh.” I said. “I’m going to need your mission report from Malta.”

 

“Already on your desk.” Natasha said.

 

“Good.” I said. “The team doing okay?”

 

“Yeah we ran drills, did some individual training and sparred.” Natasha said. “Wanda’s getting better.”

 

“That’s always good to here. Might be a good time to start training her for spy work. With her abilities she’d be good at it.” I said.

 

“I suggested that to Steve a while ago we were just trying to nail down the basics.” She said as we walked into my office. “You were right. I should have known better.”

 

“You should have.” I said. “The only reason you and Clint weren’t suspended is because there’s no way I’m doing all of Steve’s paperwork on top of mine. I have enough on my plate trying to keep this place afloat. This is the only warning you’re getting. You’re a senior member of this team. Pull it together.”

 

“Yes boss.” Natasha said.

 

“Okay. Now that that’s done, Clint’s firing up the grill tonight and is making steaks. Are you coming over for dinner? He’s making a run into town.” I said.

 

“Uh…” She said. “I thought you were…”

 

“Work life balance.” I said. “From 9 to 5 I’m your boss. If I’m on break or If I’m not in the office I’m just me. Work problems and arguments stay at work. So dinner?”

 

“I could go for steak.” Natasha said.

 

“Friday let Clint know please.” I said.

 

“Already did boss.” Friday said.

 

“So Are you still my boss or are you done for the day?” Natasha said.

 

“I just got out of my last meeting so I’m officially on vacation. Why?” I said and Natasha smirked before closing the door and locking it.

 

“I made a mistake.” She said walking over to me. “Think I need to apologize properly.”

 

“Really? And how are you going to do that?” I asked and Natasha just smirked.

 

Suffice to say she really really meant her apology.

 

The Next Day…

 

It was finally the day of the big trip. I really needed a vacation. I know I take a lot of days off but the shit I put up with is going to make my hair turn grey early.

 

I went to work and started setting up everything so things ran smoothly the week I was going to be gone. I was in the middle of doing that when…

 

“Boss you have an incoming call from Captain Rogers.” Friday said.

 

“What does he want?” I said.

 

“It sounded urgent.” She said and I sighed.

 

“Put him through.” I said.

 

“Hayley.” Steve said.

 

“Steve.” I said as I started programming an algorithm to go through chatter in the intelligence community for any major leads on Dragon Lady and Rumlow. It also worked so that if a mission Hill and Fury thought was urgent came through Friday could determine if it was something I’d approve and approve it on my behalf.

 

“I just wanted to see how things were going. If anything had come up…” He said.

 

“You’re on leave. Even if anything had come up you wouldn’t find out.” I said.

 

“Hayley.” Steve said frustrated. “I understand I screwed up…”

 

“Good so you’ll understand why I’m doing this.” I said before hanging up. “Friday unless Steve is in trouble and I’m talking going to die unless I pick up the phone trouble don’t put his calls through. He isn’t allowed back in the compound until his leave is up and I’m not entirely sure when that’ll be but it’s not today or tomorrow.”

 

“Yes boss. Would you like me to trace the origin of the call to monitor Captain Rogers?” Friday said.

 

“As a preventative measure? Might be a good idea to keep tabs of where he is.” I said. “I don’t want to know. Just monitor him, if he goes anywhere, or decides he wants to go on a solo mission sound the alarm.”

 

“Of course boss.” Friday said as I kept working.

 

I continued working on the algorithm trying to cram as much work as possible before Tony showed up to pick me up.

 

I was in the middle of explaining the algorithm and protocol to Hill. I was pretty sure she was just nodding along and totally bored but even when she didn’t listen I trusted her judgement.

 

“I took care of any pending accounting paperwork so if they shouldn’t come to you but if they do…” I started.

 

“I’ll tell them to ask Friday.” She said.

 

“Exactly as for Steve, he’s on forced leave. No matter what he is not allowed to be in the compound.” I said.

 

“He does live here and Barnes is here.” Hill said.

 

“Bucky can go out to visit him or meet him outside. It’ll be good for him to be alone without a helicopter parent hovering around constantly. And just a heads up Friday is monitoring his location constantly just to make sure he stays out of trouble…” I started.

 

“You’re tracking him?” Hill said slightly amused.

 

“Didn’t you and Fury have a shadow detail on him the entire time he was working for you?” I reminded her.

 

“Fair enough.” She said.

 

“Hales.” Tony said meeting up with us and putting an arm around me before kissing my cheek. “Ready to go?”

 

“Almost.” I said. “Oh and another thing Clint and Natasha have to do all their paperwork. No exceptions. I’m giving you permission to handcuff them to a desk or stun them if needed. Just you know don’t hurt them. I do love them and would like them back in one piece.”

 

“Okay.” Hill said.

 

“And Sam is still grounded so…” I started.

 

“Honey, I think Hill’s got it. The kids will be fine.” Tony said.

 

“I know I’m just…” I started.

 

“If I have any questions I’ll just ask Friday but I have done this before.” She said.

 

“Okay.” I said. “I’m done. Officially on vacation. If you need me, you have my number.”

“But try not to need her. She’s going to be very busy.” Tony said.

 

“Alright then. Enjoy the vacation.” Hill said before rushing off.

 

“Picked up your bags already.” Tony said.

 

“Thank you.” I said. “So Airport?”

 

“Airport.” Tony said. “This place is different without Spangles.”

 

“What do you mean?” I asked.

 

“I don’t know it just feels different.” He said.

 

“Come on. I want to be in the air before we get hit with another crisis.” I said. “I understand why you always ditch your meetings now.”

 

“I knew you would.” He said as we walked out.

 

We had a very nice flight. The inflight service tried flirting with Tony like always and he waved them off keeping his attention on me. We watched a movie while cuddling together. Lucky for us the seat folded down into a surprisingly comfy bed. That’s where we fell asleep until the plane descended.

 

“Does Paris get more beautiful every time we visit?” I said.

 

“No I think you’re just comparing it to New York.” Tony said. “What are we going to do first?”

 

“Breakfast? Walk around for a bit.” I suggested. “Shop?”

 

“Shopping?” Tony said with a whine.

 

“It could be fun.” I said.

 

“Depends are we going lingerie shopping?” He said.

 

“Is that all I am to you?” I retorted.

 

“Of course not it’s just… I don’t really shop. I have people do that for me.” Tony said.

 

“I know, I used to do that for you.” I said. “Okay how about today we just walk around relax, and everyday after we alternate so one day you choose what we do and the next day I do?”

 

“Fine but I’m planning our anniversary.” Tony said.

 

“You plan the first half of the night I plan the second half.” I said.

 

“Hayley.” Tony whined.

 

“You did all the work last time, I want to be able to make grand gestures too.” I said.

 

“Okay, I’ll just move up the fireworks show.” Tony said.

 

“Fireworks Show?” I said.

 

“I did say it was going to be outrageous.” He said.

 

“That’s going to be hard to match.” I said.

 

“Hales whatever you have planned I’m sure it’ll be great. Not as great as mine but…” He started before I cleared my throat. “As long as I’m with you, I’ll be happy.”

 

“Nice save.” I said.

 

“So breakfast?” He said.

 

“Breakfast. I could go for an omelet with a bit of brie on top.” I said.

 

“Savory crepes.” Tony said.

 

“Mhmmm macarons after from that place…” I said.

 

“We should go before we miss breakfast.” He said.

 

“Good call.” I said “Just let me change.”

 

“Good idea.” Tony said going to do the same.

 

It was just breakfast so I grabbed the first thing I saw in my suitcase. A sage green A line wrap dress with a bow at the waist and tan sandals. I left my hair down in it’s natural waves. I wore the necklace Tony had given me for Christmas with the piece of Shrapnel that used to be in him.

 

“Alright, ready.” I said.

 

“Wow.” He said with a smile.

 

“Fresh off the plane.” I said taking his hand.

 

With that we headed downstairs and had breakfast all of which was amazing. That was by far the best omelet I’ve ever had.

 

From there we just started walking down the street and then along the Seine.

 

“Hm… okay but if you…” He started.

 

“Still no. You pay a lot of money to get on a plane why would I want to jump out of it.” I said.

 

“It could be fun.” Tony said.

 

“So is not breaking every bone in your body.” I said.

 

“So no sky diving?” Tony said.

 

“No sky diving.” I said.

 

“But you’re okay with flying with Thor.” Tony said.

 

“Yeah because there’s no way in hell Thor would ever drop me and if for some reason he lost his grip he can catch me.” I said. “With sky diving you’re open to all sorts of human error like what if the parachute doesn’t open or there was a manufacturer error, it’s a windy day and you end up getting blown into the plane engine or into a wood chipper.”

 

“What are the odds you’re going to jump out of a plane thousands of feet in the air and land straight into a wood chipper?” Tony said.

 

“Don’t know but the odds of dying while sky diving are 21 out of 3 million so roughly 0.0007%.” I said.

 

“Huh, maybe I should put a parachute in the suit?” Tony said.

 

“Might be a good idea.” I said.

 

Paris Day 2-

 

As it was my first day to choose what we were going to do. I chose to do some of those cute and sometimes absurd couples classes.

 

Since I was going to be out with Tony, we were inevitably going to end up getting photographed and since some how Tony made jeans, a band tee and a jacket look like something from a magazine photoshoot I wanted to look good.

 

I opted for a black off the shoulder crop top with a white A-line skirt and black lace up heels.

 

 

Later on I’d come to realize that wearing white anything to a chocolatiering or basically any type of cooking class was a huge fashion faux pas.

 

“You want to take a cooking class while we’re on vacation?” Tony said when I told him what I wanted to do today.

 

“Yeah.” I said.

 

“But you don’t need cooking classes. I like your cooking.” Tony said.

 

“Would you tell me if you didn’t?” I said.

 

“No I’d just order a lot more takeout.” Tony said.

 

“It’ll be fun.” I said. “I mean how often do we get to do normal couple things?”

 

“You’re not going to start cooking snails right?” Tony said. “Because I’m willing to experiment but that’s a hard no.”

 

“Good to know.” I said with a smirk. “Cause I have a few ideas…”

 

“Ideas?” Tony said suddenly coming around to the idea.

 

“Mhm. You know some you’d get behind.” I said.

 

“I can do that.” He said taking a step closer to me as I bent over to finish lacing up my heels.

 

“It can be a bit of a workout.” I said. “You’d need a delicate touch for one of them.”

 

“I can be gentle.” Tony said pressing up behind me.

 

“Well you are good with your hands.” I said. “You’d have to be working on those circuit boards.”

 

“And other things,” he said putting his hands on my hips and started kissing my neck.

 

I giggled as I felt a bit ticklish.

 

“Bet you’d be good at the first one.” I said.

 

“Probably. I’m good at a lot of things. especially the first one.” He said.

 

“So you’ve done it before?” I said turning around.

 

“I have been around the block a couple time so probably.” He said.

 

“Then which one should we do first?” I said. “Or do you have one you want to do first?”

 

“Well…” Tony said before whispering into my ear and I blushed a bit.

 

“Uh I think we’re talking about different things.” I said.

 

“We are? What were you talking about?” Tony asked.

 

“Whether we should take a chocolatier or macaron baking class first but we are definitely going to circle back to… that, later.” I said.

 

“You want to?” he said perking up.

 

“I’m willing to give it a try… you know as long as I can do you too?” I said. “It’s only fair…”

 

“Y-yeah…” Tony said struggling to get words out from the excitement. “Have I told you how much I love you today? Because I do… a lot.”

 

“So chocolate or macarons first?” I asked.

 

“Chocolate sounds fun. Maybe they’ll give us chocolate covered strawberries.” He said.

 

“Mhmm that sounds good.” I said. “Macarons after lunch and I have a surprise for after dinner.”

 

“Well I’ve got dessert covered.” Tony said.

 

“I bet you do.” I said giving him a kiss before we went to breakfast.

 

I can never say any of my relationships are boring. Though sometimes I wonder if any of us would be as close as we are if it wasn’t for all the trauma and fighting we’ve had to go through together. The coma made me believe that was a possibility.

 

Though it was small things like Tony adding his own commentary when I was cooking in class that made me realize that it wasn’t just a possibility, it was the only possibility. One way or another I would always end up him and everyone else in my life and I couldn’t be happier about it.

 

“Miss Hayley Adams what are you making for us today?” He said.

 

“Well Mister Stark right now I am preparing the vanilla buttercream that will be filling our macaron today.” I said.

 

“I have it on very good authority your buttercream is the only vanilla thing about you.” Tony said making me blush bright red as I laughed.

 

“I wouldn’t know. I just have this really handsome experienced old man I’ve been seeing for a while now.” I said.

 

“Old?” Tony said.

 

“Yeah, he’s got a decade or two on me.” I said.

 

“Is that so?” Tony said.

 

“Yeah but he ages like a fine wine.” I said making Tony smirk. “He likes to remind me he’s been around the block a couple of times.”

 

“I can imagine.” He said. “Does it bother you?”

 

“Not in the slightest. Because he’s with me now and when we’re together he looks at me like I’m the only person that exists. Plus he puts all that experience to good use.” I said.

 

“You don’t say.” Tony said.

 

“Oui.” I said before whispering in his ear in French. “Gets me wet just thinking about it.”

 

“I can’t believe you just said that.” Tony said with a groan as he bit his lip. I could feel his mark heat up. The want the desire. I felt all tingly making my breathing hitch a bit.

 

I really wanted to learn to make macarons but he was making it really hard to concentrate.

 

“You started it.” I said turning off the mixer to check the meringue. “Time for the flip test.”

 

We could not run out of there fast enough after the macarons were done.

 

“You sure we have to go to the chocolate class?” Tony said.

 

“Yes.” I said.

 

“Hales…” Tony whined as we walked down the street.

 

“Tony…” I said whining back Just as I saw an alley coming up. Seems Tony had the same idea because just as I was about to pull him into the alley with me he tried to do the same. We ran in until we were just out of sight enough and Tony pressed me against the wall kissing me.

 

I put my arms around his shoulders threading my fingers into his hair.

 

“Old man huh?” Tony said.

 

“Handsome old man.” I said as he started kissing down my neck nipping at my pulse point. “Ah… “

 

“Keep talking.” Tony said in French.

 

“My handsome old man…” I said. “Smart, confident… sexy…”

 

“Mh…” Tony hummed.

 

“He looks so fucking hot in a suit or tux but looks just as good in his vintage band tees.” I said as I moved my hands down his chest as he kept kissing down my neck. “And his skinny jeans.”

 

I undid his belt and unbuttoned his jeans.

 

“You have no idea what it feels like.” I said as I slipped my hand under his brief and teased him before gripping him as I said. “To feel him press up behind me when he hugs me. His fly against my ass when he’s hard as a rock.”

“Uh!” Tony hissed as I stroked him slowly as he groaned into my neck. One of his hands grabbing onto my skirt clenched in a fist and the other gripping my hip.

 

“Gets me so turned on.” I said gasping as he tugged on my hair lightly. “My nipples get all hard and perked up. Makes me so fucking wet.”

 

“How wet?” Tony says against my lips.

 

“Dripping wet.” I said stroking him harder and faster. “Ah fuck just thinking about him gets me all hot and bothered.”

 

“Bet he gives it to you good.” Tony said panting.

 

“So good.” I said. “He’s amazing. Makes me cum so hard. Feels so good to get on all fours and let him pound into me hard and fast. Squeeze him tight.”

 

“AH Hayley…” He cried out.

 

“Tony…” I moaned feeling the buzzing feeling from his mark as he came hard and he pressed himself close to me. My ears were ringing.

 

“Hales.” He panted into my neck. “Did you…”

 

“Yeah. I came.” I said panting. Tony’s hadn’t even touched me. He didn’t say anything just hugged me and kissed my forehead. “We should probably go before we miss class.”

 

“Yeah just… need a minute.” Tony said panting a bit.

 

We did make it to class.

 

Which was not so much cooking as it was bonding with your partner.

 

“The stomach is the way to the heart.” The instructor said.

 

“That’s how you got me.” Tony said.

 

“I thought it was amazing personality and great rack.” I said and Tony smirked as he grabbed a strawberry and dipped it on our chocolate fountain.

 

“Well that definitely brought me in.” Tony said winking at me. “Say ah.”

 

“Ah.” I said mockingly before tony fed me a chocolate covered strawberry.

 

“Chocolate has very unique chemical composition that can actually trigger the same pleasure sensors as having sex.” The instructor continued.

 

“I always say chocolate is as great as sex.” I said.

 

“But if you could only have one…” Tony started.

 

“That’s a tough call.” I said grabbing a strawberry and putting it in the fountain. “I’d have to think about it.”

 

“Really? I’m slightly offended.” Tony said.

 

“Imagine being next to me that one week of the month without chocolate.” I said as I offered him the strawberry and he slowly took a bite.

 

“You would have murdered one of us, probably, mostly likely Steve.” Tony said.

 

“We’re more than just sex.” I said. “Though we are great at it.”

 

“I think the word you’re looking for is mind blowing.” He said.

 

“I don’t want to inflate your ego but that’s an accurate statement.” I said wiping a bit of chocolate off the corner of Tony’s mouth with my thumb and licking it before he put his arms around me and kissed me. His hands, who were unknowingly in my case were stained with chocolate, on my ass. My ass that was in a very white skirt.

 

Worst of all neither of us noticed right away. We were too caught up with each other.

 

So after we left the class and walked down the streets of Paris with people and the paparazzi unknowingly on Tony’s tail focusing on my tail we ate at a little café.

 

“Okay I’ll admit, the macaron and chocolate classes were a great idea Hales.” Tony said.

 

“And now I know how to make macarons which are a huge hassle so I’m just going to keep buying them.” I said.

 

“Where to now?” Tony asked.

 

“I was thinking the hotel. Sleep off the sugar high before dinner and going to the last stop of the day.” I said.

 

“Give me a chance to repay the favor.” Tony said.

 

“You’re insatiable.” I said. “And you already repaid the favor.”

 

“Yeah I was really surprised by that.” Tony said.

 

“Me to. It was an impulse and wow.” I said.

 

“I like those impulses. Maybe we should try a few others.” Tony said.

 

“We do have time to kill.” I said before we got up and that’s when Tony saw it.

 

“Uh on second though maybe we should make a quick top at those boutiques at the corner.” Tony said.

 

“Why?” I asked confused.

 

“Don’t freak out but you have two chocolate handprints on the back of your skirt.” Tony said. “My chocolate handprints.”

 

“What?” I said turning around and I saw them. “Shit, think anyone saw them?”

 

“Uh… maybe one or two.” He said taking off his jacket and tying it around my waist. “Probably no one. I mean who pays attention to a strangers… Let’s get you another skirt.”

 

“Yeah.” I said following him down the street practically running. Once we were in the boutique I quickly grabbed a black maxi skirt with a flower print on it and since my top didn’t really match I opted for a cream colored bandage cropped top.

 

 

“Okay.” I said. “Got it.”

 

“Wow. Like the new top.” Tony said.

 

“Glad you think so.” I said before handing him back his jacket. “I believe this is yours.”

 

“Yes.” Tony said. “Ready to go?”

 

“Yeah.” I said. “Really glad you caught it before anyone saw it.”

 

The Following Morning…

 

It was front page news in basically every language.

 

“Tony Stark can’t keep his hands to himself.”

 

“Stark marking his territory.”

 

“Stark caught with hands on new girlfriend’s cookie jar.”

 

“cookie jar, maybe that should be our new code name for…” Tony said.

 

“Uh.” I groaned burying my face into a pillow. “This is why I don’t like wearing white.”

 

“We could have stayed in.” Tony said turning the tablet so I could see it only for me to groan again. “This is might actually be my favorite photo of us.”

 

“Us hugging as we walk down the street taken from behind with a clear view of your chocolate handprints on my ass. I’m never going to live this down.” I said.

 

“Hales.” Tony said. “Take it from someone who has messed up publicly so many times I lost track, it’ll blow over. In fact we can post another of the two of us kissing in front of the Eiffel tower and this’ll be wiped out of the new cycle.”

 

“You sure?” I said.

 

“Promise.” He said hugging me. I curled up into him. Tony looked at his phone staring at the photo of us again. “I’m going to get this framed.”

 

I grabbed my pillow and hit Tony with it making him laugh.

 

“Oh come on, Hales you have to admit it’s a bit funny.” Tony said.

 

“I’m not ready to laugh about it.” I said.

 

“Okay then what about if we do something to forget about this?” Tony said.

 

“What were you thinking?” I said.

 

“I’ll set it up. Go get dressed.” He said kissing me. Before jumping out of bed.

 

I sighed before going to jump in the shower. It was a pretty hot day so I chose a red tie front A-line dress with a with a button up skirt.

 

 

It wasn’t white so at least I didn’t have to worry about that.

 

Tony had ordered room service so I wouldn’t have to go downstairs for breakfast.

 

“Okay the car service is ready whenever we are.” Tony said.

 

“Where are we going?” I asked.

 

“You’ll see.” He said.

 

Tony’s plan for the day ended up going on a tour of a vineyard about an hour outside of Paris. And by tour of a vineyard he meant we were going to drink a ton of champagne and wine.

 

“Okay This is the 76.” Our sommelier said. “Note the hint of cedar…”

 

“Do any of these actually taste different to you?” I asked Tony.

 

“No just drink and nod.” Tony said and he swallowed his in one go. Okay then. I did as he said.

 

We visited another two vineyards in the area. We kept drinking in the car. So we were pleasantly buzzed through the day.

 

“So this was your plan? Get me drunk?” I said.

 

“Well I can’t make the rest of the world forget faster than they already were but I can make us forget.” He said. “Plus you said we need to do more normal couple things.”

 

“Wine tasting tour where we drink instead of spitting the wine like we’re supposed to?” I said.

 

“Yup. I got us a bottle for the road too.” Tony said popping open a champagne bottle in the limo. “And we’re just getting started.”

 

He was not kidding. I went from pleasantly buzzed to pretty drunk after lunch. By the time we got to the riverboat wine tour for dinner. We were both totally hammered.

 

“You know what you should put in the suit?” I said leaning on the rail of the boat taking in the sunset and the view as Tony sat at the table

 

“What?” Tony said.

 

“A little storage for snacks and juice. Like a cup holder inside that had a straw that goes right in your mouth.” I said.

 

“I could just take the mask off.” He said.

 

“But what if you can’t. What if what ever crazy weirdo pops up next starts monologuing and you get hungry.” I said.

 

“Or Capsicle starts lecturing.” Tony said. “I mean the suit already has a filtration system.”

 

“Tony you’re not going to drink your own pee.” I said.

 

“But I can.” Tony said.

 

“Nope, the only people who can make drinking their own pee cool are astronauts.” I said.

 

“Pssh… Ah! That’s what I should do! Go into space!” Tony said.

 

“Build a house on the moon.” I said smiling. “See the cow jump over the moon. That’d probably be the best view ever.”

 

“I don’t know about that. The view’s pretty good from where I’m standing.” Tony said staring at me before we started laughing.

 

“Maybe I should take a bite out of you because that was so cheesy.” I said walking back to the table and taking a seat in his lap.

 

“You call it cheese I call it romance.” He said.

 

“And here I thought you were trying to get me drunk so I’d get back in bed with you.” I teased.

 

“Well I mean if you’re offering.” Tony said drawing circles on my thigh with his fingers.

 

We were alone. Pretty sure he booked the entire boat for me so I wouldn’t have to worry about another bad photo in the press.

 

“Hmm.” I hummed running my fingers through his hair. “Don’t know…”

 

“Don’t know what?” Tony said as he kissed along my shoulder to my neck as his hand slipped under my dress.

 

“If I can wait that long… ah.” I gasped as his hand reached the apex of my thighs and he playfully nipped at the crook of my neck.

 

“Fuck, you’re already wet baby.” Tony said as he moved his hand over my panties.

 

“Tony.” I whined rocking my hips against his hand looking for some relief.

 

“If I had known I would hand done something earlier.” He said kissing my collar bone as he rubbed my clit over my panties.

 

“Ye-ah….” I said letting out a shaky break.

 

“Oh honey, you have no idea what you do to me.” He said sucking my neck as he kissed down my chest as he slipped his hand under and teased my clit.

 

“Ah….” I whimpered as he brushed his fingers over it but traced my slit before coming back up and rubbing circles on my clit.

 

“Wearing that sexy little red dress and barely covers anything.” Tony said rubbing faster and faster. “You have no idea how much I want to undo that knot. See them. Bury my face in them.”

 

“Tony, fuck…” I whined.

 

“Or bend you over and fuck you. Bury myself in that tight wet pussy.” Tony said.

 

“Yes…” I moaned. “Please more.”

 

“You want that?” He said as he stopped moving his hand making me whine but moved his hand lower and slowly slipping a finger into me.

 

“Ah….” I gasped.

 

“Shit.” He said as he crooked his finger in me and pulled it out before doing it again and again. I kissed Tony hard as he kept fingering me while I rode his hand. He added another finger scissoring them in me.

 

“Tony…” I whined as I got closer and closer. Tony wrapped his other arm around me pressing me against him while he moved his fingers faster and harder hitting that spot over and over again. “Yes fuck yes ah!” I cried into his neck as I came hard clenching around his fingers squeezing them tight.

 

I clung to Tony holding him tight, kissing him again.

 

“Glad you liked the dress.” I said getting off of him even though my legs felt like jello. “I wore it for you.”

 

“Good to know.” Tony said standing up and pouring us another glass of wine.

 

By the time the boat got back to it’s pier, we had to crawl back to out hotel. But at least I forgot all about my ass being front page news.

 

The Following Morning…

 

Today was officially our anniversary and we started celebrating early. Starting with a romp in the shower, a breakfast composed of basically the entire room service menu and mimosas to help with the hangover we woke up with.

 

Then Tony surprised me by sending me to the Hotel spa for a day of pampering. Maybe that was his subtle way of saying he needed a break. We had been going at it pretty hard lately. It was a great work out though which helped with all the macaron and croissants I had been scarfing down.

 

Meanwhile- Third Person’s POV

 

As part of their anniversary day, Tony booked Hayley for a full day of pampering at the spa. After the week she had she needed it. While he also booked them a couple’s massage.

 

The masseurs were setting up in their living room while Tony was waiting for Happy to double check their plans for tonight were still a go.

 

“Okay we moved up the fireworks show. The table is set up with flowers flown in all the way from South America.” Happy said. “They’ll be brought up before you go because they’re in the fridge.”

 

“They’re not bright pink right?” Tony said. “Hales hates pink.”

 

“I think they’re blush?” Happy said. “Whatever that is. The other flowers are white.”

 

“Good.” Tony said. “The food?”

 

“Special order from your favorite place. Had the wine you wanted flown in and three different desserts made because of Hayley’s huge sweet tooth.” He said.

 

“You don’t want to be around when she gets hangry.” Tony said. “You got the ring?”

 

“Which one?” Happy said.

 

“The ring? Special order? You did pick it up right?” Tony said.

 

“Oh right.” Happy said taking out one ring. “No wait wrong pocket.”

 

“She’s going to be up any second now so anytime Hogan.” Tony said.

 

“Cool your jets.” Happy said taking out the box. “One custom made ring rom Tiffany’s New York.”

 

Tony took the signature blue ring box and opened it to reveal an alternating diamond cut ring band with the requested alteration of a gemstone arc reactor comprised of diamonds surrounding a round aquamarine stone in a platinum setting.

 

(This Band)

 

(This arc reactor)

 

“She’s totally going to hate it.” Tony said with a smile. “What do you think?”

 

“I thought you were going to give her the other one.” Happy said.

 

“It’s our anniversary.” Tony said.

 

“And? You’re in Paris. You planned this whole thing and a fireworks show, flew in the flowers…” Happy said.

 

“You think I should propose?” Tony said.

 

“Don’t you?” Happy said.

 

“No not until you brought it up.” Tony said. “Why are you bringing this up now? I’m about to do a thing.”

 

“Because you asked for the ring and you’ve been making me carry around the other ring for years…” Happy said.

 

“Yeah because she’s my damn world, completes me in ways I can’t even begin to describe and is the mother of my future children.” Tony said.

 

“Then propose already.” Happy said.

 

“No I want to do it right.” Tony said. “And a lot of shit’s been going on.”

 

“Okay forget I said anything but you’re kinda setting yourself up for failure. How are you going to top this for a proposal?” Happy asked.

 

“I’ll think of something.” Tony said looking at the Harry Winston engagement ring before closing the box and handing it back to Happy and turning his attention back to his anniversary present. “Think she’ll like it?”

 

“If she doesn’t I’ll take it.” Happy said.

 

Later That Day- Hayley’s POV

 

Tony being the typical guy was ready in ten minutes. I on the other had took a lot longer. I had someone from the spa come and do my hair and makeup I probably should have asked one of them to stay and help me get dressed.

 

Part of my outfit included a corset and that thing was hard to lace up and tie on your own. The lingerie set I had selected comprised of a strapless corset with sheer lace panels and a black satin bustier with matching black panties and thigh high stockings completed with black heels.

 

 

It took me a good twenty minutes just to untangle myself from the laces then I had to redo them and tighten them.

 

Once that was done came my dress. Since it was a special occasion and Tony had opted for a suit and not the kind that shoots small missiles I decided to go all out with a floor length gown. It was a dark orange rust draped gown with a black bow at the waist and another on the back that one of the dress straps tied into.

 

 

I styled my hair so it was all combed to one side in elegant waves. I wore simple gold drop earrings to complete the look.

 

“Honey, I don’t want to rush you but are you almost ready?” Tony said.

 

“Just about.” I said before I opened the door and walked out.

 

Tony’s jaw dropped and he just stared at me.

 

“What do you thing?” I said.

 

“Uh….” He said still not saying anything.

 

“Are you…. Tony Stark is actually speechless. Wow, that’s actually better than any compliment you could have given me.” I said. “Honey? You okay? Blink so I know you’re not having a stroke or something.”

 

Tony didn’t say anything instead he put his arms around me and dipped me as he kissed me. Totally dramatic but he got his point across.

 

Once that was done we headed out. Tony hadn’t told me where we were going or dropped any hints so I didn’t know anything just where we were going after his half of our anniversary.

 

I should have known we’d end up at what was practically our spot now.

 

The Eiffel Tower.

 

“You got us a reservation at our spot.” I said smiling.

 

“Uh not exactly.” Tony said as Happy led us to the elevator and we headed up to the observation deck.

 

“You booked us the whole tower?” I said. He never did anything by halves.

 

“Best view in the city.” Tony said as we walked towards where our table was set up. In the middle of our candle lit table was a beautiful arrangement of peonies, cala lilies and white hydrangeas, the same flowers that were in the bouquet Tony had surprised me with that morning.

 

“Tony you did all this?” I said tearing up.

 

“Happy anniversary baby.” He said hugging me.

 

“I love you.” I said kissing him.

 

“Come on, time for dinner.” He said leading me to the table and pulling out my chair for me.

 

We had a great dinner from the Michelin star restaurant below us as well as more wine and champagne. Then for dessert Tony had happy bring in macarons, crème brulee and a chocolate souffle from the best dessert spots in Paris.

 

Even that ridiculously tight corset didn’t stop me from enjoying all of it.

 

When it was all done we walked to the balcony to enjoy the view as we sipped our champagne or as I was currently calling it, liquid courage.

 

“It been a crazy year.” Tony said.

 

“No kidding.” I said. “I mean people coming back from the dead…”

 

“You weren’t dead.” Tony said.

 

“I mean dragon lady and Hadrian before you know…” I said. “but the coma, Ultron and Sokovia, Adam getting kidnapped…”

 

“But we got through it together and we’re together again. I mean last year I thought it might be our last one…” Tony said. “Glad we didn’t spend this one in a hospital.”

 

“Hopefully we won’t have to ever again.” I said.

 

“We promised. No dying until we’re old, senile, and wrinkled which considering Thor’s over 1000 years old is not going to be for a long, long time.” He said.

 

“At least a millennia, think you’ll get sick of me?” I asked.

 

“Never. You’re it for me.” He said reaching into his pocket and taking out a small ring sized box and putting it in my hand before he got down on one knee.

 

“Ah!!!” I screamed. Yes, I screamed. It was one of the two. Before Tony looked at me and then at himself.

 

“Oh no! No!” Tony said. “This is not a proposal I’m just tying my shoe laces.”

 

“Oh thank fuck.” I said. “I mean I love you and I want to one day but…”

 

“Not the time, shit’s happening and dragon lady…” he said. “Going to be hard to plan a wedding if you’re busy tracking her down and handling everything else that comes up.”

 

“You get me so much.” I said going to kiss him again.

 

“This is a ring just not that ring.” Tony said opening the box to reveal a gorgeous alternating cut diamond band and at the center was an aquamarine stone surrounded by more diamonds set in platinum in the shape of an arc reactor. He took it out and gently slipped it onto my ring finger. “This ring is a promise that one day we will get to the other ring.”

 

“There’s an outrageous amount of diamonds on this thing and I love it.” I said tearing up. “I love you.”

 

“Love you too.” He said hugging me as we kissed. And at that moment the fireworks started going off. It was also when Happy snapped a photo of the two of us at that perfect moment. Tony really had thought of everything.

 

Then it was time for my part of the night. Tony had set the bar really high so now I was nervous that what I had planned wouldn’t seem like much in comparison. I mean he booked the entire Eiffel tower.

 

I gave Happy the address of where to drop us off and I was feeling a bit anxious. Kind of wish we had brought the rest of that champagne bottle with us.

 

“Is this our stop?” Happy asked.

 

“Yup.” I said as the red windmill came into view.

 

“Is that the Moulin Rouge?” Tony said before he gave me a huge smile. “Did you… you got me strippers for our anniversary?”

 

“They’re not strippers. They’re burlesque performers.” I said.

 

“Actually I think it’s cabaret.” Happy said.

 

“Still not strippers… just scantily clad women dancing around.” I said.

 

“You complete me.” Tony said kissing me.

 

“Come on.” I said taking his hand and getting out of the car. I showed the security guard at the entrance the email and we were let right in. The entire place was empty except for the staff.

 

“I actually need to visit the Ladies room. How about you go sit at our table and I’ll meet you there?” I suggested.

 

“How do I know which one is ours?” Tony said.

 

“It’ll have your name on the place setting.” I said.

 

“Okay, don’t take too long or the show probably about to start.” He said.

 

“Wouldn’t miss it for the world.” I said before we split up. I met up with the hostess that led me behind the stage to one of the dressing rooms. I had bought out the place for a few hours so I could do this right and also in case I made a fool of myself and this went completely wrong. I didn’t want another front page article.

 

I slipped out of my dress and hung it up leaving me only in my heels and lingerie. I also grabbed a pair of gloves I had delivered here before hand as well as a top hat before looking at myself in the mirror.

 

“Okay, I’m going to go out there and I’m going to nail this routine. I’ve been practicing for weeks and I got this. And if it doesn’t work out then I’m still in lingerie and can totally make it up to him later.” I said. “I got this.”

 

With that I took a breath and walked out of the dressing room.

 

I peeked through the curtain and saw that Tony was sitting front and center exactly where I requested he be. There was no one else in there with us. The champagne and glasses had been set up beforehand so he was just sitting there confused as to why it was so empty.

 

I got in position and signaled the Hostess to start. The theater went dark and spotlights lit up spinning around just as Def Leppard’s Pour some Sugar on me started playing.

 

Step inside
Walk this way
You and me babe
Hey hey

 

“What the…” Tony said before I strutted out in the stage in my best Beyonce impersonation to start dancing and his jaw dropped.

 

 

I started off by using a bit of the routine the dancers at the Stark Expo opening ceremony used.

 

Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on
Livin' like a lover with a radar phone
Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp
Demolition woman, can I be your man? (your man)

 

Razzle 'n' a dazzle 'n' a flash a little light
Television lover, baby, go all night
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss innocent sugar me, yeah, yeah

 

Now c'mon, take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up

 

Then I switched it up and threw my hat off, spun on one foot, which let me tell you in heels is hard as fuck, before I got on the floor and crawled a bit.

 

 

Then I twirled around and got back on my feet moving my hands up and down my body. I slid myself onto the floor before rolling onto my back and spread my legs up in the air and closing them before I jumped back onto my feet.

 

I stuck my tongue out and licked my finger before running it around my head and flipping my hair back and shimmying a but. I spun and strutted towards the stairs.

 

 

Tony was frozen in his seat still in shock. I got closer to him before I grinded on him and just when the song ended I ended it by sitting on his lap. I was still panting feeling a bit tired from my performance.

 

“Hi.” I said.

 

“Uh…” he said still in shock.

 

“Oh fuck it was bad wasn’t it?” I said.

 

“Hales…” He started.

 

“I knew I should have stuck to a regular show…” I said.

 

“Honey.” Tony said.

 

“I’m better with a pole.” I said making tony laugh. “but they don’t have one here and it’s the moulin rouge and you bought out the Eiffel tower for the night so the bar was way up…”

 

I didn’t finish because Tony kissed me to shut me up.

 

“That was so fucking hot.” He said shifting a bit so I could feel just how hot he thought it was.

 

“Oh.” I said.

 

“Yeah. Best anniversary present ever.” Tony said. “I kind of want an encore. Have you been wearing this the entire?”

 

“Yeah, you have no idea how hard lacing this corset up on my own was.” I said.

 

“Don’t worry it’s easier to take off.” Tony said.

 

“So you liked it?” I said.

 

“There aren’t words to describe how much I liked that.” He said.

 

“Aww well there’s a part two.” I said just as the lights went off and the dancers started their usual show.

 

“Is there a part three?” Tony asked.

 

“Maybe.” I said as the show continued. Once they were done I went back to get back into my dress. I slipped it on and went out to meet Tony. Of course once he saw me he pulled me into the first room he saw which happened to be a rehearsal dance studio. There were mirrors all around the room as well as a bar to practice.

 

“Tony.” I giggled before he twirled me and brought me back to him and he pressed me against the piano and kissed me hard. “Mhmmm…”

 

“Fuck baby.” He groaned as I kissed along his neck as he pressed my hand against his crotch. “Got me so fucking turned on.”

 

“How bad do you want me?” I said and Tony just smirked before he bent down to pick me up and put me on the piano.

 

 

“Ah…” I gasped into his mouth as he yanked my dress up. I reached down and quickly undid his belt and pants but when I felt his hands on my panties I lost my balance and grabbed onto him. Tony yanked my panties off. He pressed himself against me and thrust all the way in in one go.

 

 

“Tony!” I gasped but he just kissed me as he kept fucking me hard and fast.

 

“So fucking good for me baby.” He groaned.

 

“Fuck me Tony.” I moaned spurring him on as he tugged on my hair a bit groaning into my neck, my heels were digging into his butt cheeks and I could feel myself about to cum at second.

 

“You’re gonna cum aren’t you?” He said.

 

“Yes…” I whined.

 

“Yes… fuck yes…” He said. “Hales uh taking me so good baby..”

 

“Tony! Ah!” I cried when I came and I felt him spill inside of me.

 

“Shit.” Tony said chucking as he panted. “Sorry I got carried away.”

 

“Don’t be.” I said. “I was probably going to jump you in the limo.”

 

“Happy would have loved that.” Tony said laughing as he kissed me. “Night’s not over yet.”

 

“Is there more?” Tony said.

 

“Yeah, you still have to get me out of this corset.” I said.

 

“Best anniversary ever.” Tony said kissing me.
