A red rose a falcon, a white rose a dove

"Flattery," Tony scoffed, but whatever he had to follow that up swiftly left him.  Audrey had stolen the words from the tip of his tongue with her kisses, soft lips against his skin.  The teeth that followed surprised him again, and he was reminded that she had plans for him.  Plans of which he had no idea.  He didn’t like not knowing, but since Audrey was involved, he figured he’d accept the surprise…this time.

"I am." Audrey purred as she skimmed her lips across up his sternum. She traced a pattern around his chest on one side of the reactor with her nose as she breathed in his scent. Her back dipped beneath his touch, pressing her belly against his. She loved the feeling of his hands on her, his touch fairly light, seemingly hiding other potential. 

Tony leaned up from the bed to make it easier for Audrey to remove his shirt.  Once he was free of the loose-fitting fabric, he lay back down and marveled at the sight above him.  Her had always imagined how Audrey might look bathed in the pale blue glow of the arc reactor, but it was nothing compared to the reality.  Her features glowed blue in the dim lighting of the room, highlighting her brow and accentuating her cheekbones.  It was the most beautiful thing Tony had ever seen, and he was rendered both speechless and breathless for a span of heartbeats.

Audrey watched with bated breath as his removed shirt revealed the reactor which tinted them under a soft blue light. Although it was an incredibly important facet of him, the reactor was never the first thing that came to her mind about his body and existence. He was beyond the machinery keeping him alive, though she planned to truly explore every part of him. She used the momentum of him laying down to lean into him again, pressing her nose and lips to the side of his neck as his hands worked their way to her bra clasp.

Tony sighed into the space between their faces.  If someone had asked him to describe what he was feeling in that moment, he’d be at a genuine loss for words.  He’d never felt anything like this, never in his life.  And he had never been so happy.  He pressed his hands into Audrey’s shoulders, holding her against him as if he were trying to crawl inside, become one with the woman he loved.

Audrey held the sides of his neck in her hands as they just lay together, taking in where they were, not just physically, but emotionally. She loved the way they fit together, complimenting one another. Their wit and charm was an even match, as well as their playful teasing and banter. Apart from their emotional bond, the hard shape of the reactor pressing into her sternum as they were chest-to-chest even felt right.

"I’m yours," came Tony’s panted reply, fingers untangling themselves from Audrey’s hair to slide up under her shirt.  "Only yours."  The magnitude of that truth hit him hard, and for a moment he could do nothing but stare up at her, lips slightly parted.  How she had changed him, for the better.  He loved her for it, for allowing him to become a better man, better than he ever thought he could be.

Audrey watched with the utmost adoration Tony watching her. His warm hands pressing against her skin as they ran freely all over her body was a feeling she knew she wouldn't get enough of, the way his fingers chastely tickled various places they lightly skimmed over. His words brought a genuine smile to her face, and all she wanted was to continue kissing him.

Half-lidded eyes watched Audrey’s face as she kissed him, a soft groan coming from deep in his chest as her fingers tangled in his hair.  It was so hard to breathe, his skin almost too hot.  He met each grind of her hips with his own, his breath coming in short, ragged gasps.

Audrey slowly relaxed and tightened her grip on his hair as they continued to kiss, loving the feeling she got in her belly with each gasp he took. Her breathing was as uneven as his, but she continued to breathe through her nose if it meant her was steady enough to keep kissing him.

"Gotta admit, sugar, I’m a more than a little curious," he muttered as her lips danced across his face.  He gripped her upper thighs and rolled his hips up against her as his tongue trailed over her lips.  His hands glided up her legs, sides, and settled on her back, and he pulled her down flush against him as he claimed her mouth with his own.

Enjoying the fact he didn't give her any time to answer, his hands skimming all over her and his lips teasing hers, she pleasantly hummed as he kissed her again. Her fingers combed into his hair, gently scraping his scalp as she slowly gripped his hair for purchase.

Tony’s eyes shot open when he felt teeth, and he hummed against Audrey’s lips.  It was unexpected, but far from unwelcome, and as he pulled away from her, his eyes glittered with mischief.  ”Have something in mind,” he asked, his voice low and husky.  It was their first time doing this sort of thing, and Tony wanted it to be special…but he knew it would be special no matter how they went about doing it.

Audrey slightly smirked at his question, and an adrenaline-rushed giggle escaped her as he flipped them over. She stared into his dark eyes for a moment, again coming to realise they were each other's, trying not to have a stupid grin across her face. Slipping back into the mindset of what they were doing at that very moment, she momentarily bit her lip and gave him a playful smile.

Her words caused him to smile against her lips, her touch lit a fire under his already heated skin.  He had waited so long for this moment; all of their teasing, their playfulness, and the nearly constant tension led up to exactly this.  And yet, Tony found that he had no idea what to do next.  He continued to kiss her, long and slow.  Continued to touch her, everywhere, over the fabric of her shirt, but he couldn’t for the life of him remember how this worked.

Audrey knew he tried. In the time that she had known him he completely changed the way he had approached her in their playful courtship. He could still act out his playboy ways, but she knew his values had changed, and she respected and loved that about him. He certainly wasn't a new man, and she loved that. He was still the great Tony Stark while also being hers. Her nerves were on end as they were finally getting to what they could have long ago.

"I’m glad you like it," Tony whispered, a slight tremor to his voice as her lips brushed along his jaw.  He gingerly sipped the champagne, trying to rid his mouth of the nervous dryness, the lump in his throat.  He set the glass on the nightstand and moved the tray aside so he could take Audrey in his arms once more.

Audrey placed her glass beside his on the nightstand before he swept her up in his embrace again. Her hands rested on his shoulders as they pressed close together, her knees tightly straddling his lap. 

"You won’t have to imagine much longer," he smirked, brushing his lips over hers and opening the door.  He carried her inside and faced the bed, where a tray holding a bottle of champagne and two glasses sat atop a scattering of dark red rose petals.  The petals trailed along the duvet and down onto the floor, helping the dimmed lights set the mood.

"Look at this! Quite the romantic you've become, Mr. Stark." Audrey completely took in the room as he set her down. The dimmed lights and champagne were wonderful, but of course Tony wouldn't put it past him to scatter classic rose petals everywhere. It was simply beautiful, a great juxtaposition to their sweaty moving clothes and tired bodies.

The bedroom…Audrey’s touch nearly made him forget what was currently waiting for her in that bedroom.  It was supposed to be for later, but as he watched her move, eyes wide with lust and adoration, he no longer cared. Pushing himself up from the floor, he sauntered over to her and pinched her behind lightly, before taking the box from her and placing it on the floor behind them.

The way Tony eyed her from across the room made her pleasantly shiver as she pushed the box up another step. Moving in guaranteed so much more playfulness than they already shared, and Audrey eagerly anticipated it. A wide smile broke her grin as he pinched her butt.

Movin' In || Tony & Audrey

"Thank you, Jarvis." Audrey cheerily replied as she pushed a cluster of boxes toward one side of the room. She stopped her organizing and turned to Tony as he walked in with the last box, approaching as he welcomed her in to his their home. "Why thank you, Mr. Stark." Her fingers glided up his arm and over his shoulder to stroke under his chin. "We don't have to really unpack much yet, but I would like to move this box to the bedroom," she motioned to a single box near the bottom of the stairs before walking over to it.

"And just when were you gonna tell me you're back in London? I had to hear it from Jarvis, of all non-people!" Tony smiled, letting on that he was only pretending to be mad.
