But the change in his demeanor told her he was at least back on track. But the looks he gave her had not been lost on her. <br/><br/>The days of him being her boss, were gone and unless something changed dramatically, the dynamics of their relationship were still evolving and growing. They were fortunate after all these years to have one person in their lives, that knew them so well. That without ever having to question, you knew would be there for you. And while she could still count on Tony to surprise her, the fact that she was the stabilizing force in his life was a guarantee. But who said she couldn't surprise him once in awhile. <br/><br/>Everything she had just told him had been a hundred percent true, and if he went around her again, there was no way even his suit would survive her assault. But maybe what he needed was precisely what he had just denied himself. He had been living on adrenaline, caffeine, sugar and sheer force of will for months now. Tony needed at the very least a short break to rejuvenate and refocus and she had just the idea.<br/><br/>With a quick trip to change, and now a cappuccino in hand, she stepped paused to steel herself just outside the lab, his back was to her at the moment, perfect. It wasn't that Pepper didn't know how to be sexy or seductive, she just never had a reason to need to try before.<strong>"Jarvis, see that we are not disturbed for at least... the next hour."</strong> The opening of the door no doubt would have caught his attention and she knew at the very least, he would glance up. That was all she needed as her eyes locked on to his. Gone was the anger, gone was anything but the woman who loved him, simply for who he was. She said not a word, but only smiled at him as she walked towards him. Not a sound was heard as her bare feet slowly brought her to stand in front of him. Her hair was down and she was wearing nothing but one of his shirts, and her undergarments.<br/><br/>Pausing in front of him, she reached past him allowing her body to press against him gently as she placed the cappuccino on the surface behind him him and cleared her throat.<strong>"Maybe you could take a little break and gain a new perspective."</strong></span></span></div>
