“I expect there’s a chinese takeout somewhere around here. I’m really craving sweet and sour right now.” She blew out a sigh, rolling her shoulders and rubbing at them with one hand. “I’m going to get a shower while you do that, okay?”

“Alright,” Victor said as he grabbed his leather coat, “enjoy your shower, love.” He leaned in and gave her a quick peck on the corner of her mouth before patting himself, checking for his wallet, and heading out the door. First, he wanted to look for something for Summer to wear. There was a small clothing store on his left and he decided to duck into it and see what was all inside. Quickly, and quietly, Victor made his way to the undergarments and lingerie department. Internally, he shook his head at some of the pieces, one of them being what looked like a few scraps of lace held together by a couple of pieces of string. He preferred items like the one Summer had worn one night. Just as he was beginning to suspect that he’d have to look somewhere else he found the perfect item. It was a simple red with black accents, it looked comfortable as well, but there was something distinctly sexy about it.

Without any further hesitation Victor bought the nightgown and headed for the Chinese take out place he could smell down the road.

Once he got to the restaurant he ordered Summer’s sweet and sour chicken and broccoli and beef for himself. After he had their food he made his way back to their room. Due to the fact that his hands were full he opted to ‘knock’ on the door with his shoulder, hoping Summer was somewhere she could hear him.

Victor had been gone longer than she expected. But this was one of those times when having an ereader and keeping it stocked was the best thing ever — she just curled up, wrapped in a towel, and started a new book. So when he finally /did/ get back, the knock on the door nearly startled her back out of the chair. Why didn’t he let himself in? He had the key.

Summer untangled herself from the chair and the towel, wrapping it back around and calling, “Just a minute!” Maybe it was something else. Combat in a towel. Yeah, great. But no, the peephole proved it was Victor, and she opened the door, raising her eyebrows at him. “What took you so long?”

“What can I say? I’m a big lovable teddy bear. ” Tony smirked and kissed her on the cheek. “And I guess I think you’re pretty okay for a nerd girl,” he winked.

“Well, can I have some attention, or shall I let you go back to your show? I should probably at least look over these chapters again for class tomorrow.” Despite her words, Summer held on to Tony, to his warm, safe nearness.

“Can’t I do both?” Tony laughed and kissed her softly. “You can tell me all about your issues with your powers….during commercials,” he teased, resting his head on her shoulder.

“Well, then, poke me when there’s commercials. The Purgatorio is complicated.” But she didn’t pull the book out of her bag yet, leaning her head against his and just staring off into the distance.

Dustin’s eyes lit up. “Ah Ma’am I’d really appreciate it but i couldn’t put ya out like that. Plus someone as pretty as you probably doesn’t wanna be seen with a bum like me.” He shrugged. “I guess I couldn’t say no to a burger though.

“I wouldn’t offer if there was going to be a problem. Would you rather I cooked, instead? I mean, it’s no bother either way. You could have a shower or something while I cooked.” Summer folded her arms and cocked her head.

TONY. Kill Pepper? I see how it is.

Nope, guilt tactics not accepted.  I called you immortal.

I’m not immortal! The only reason I’m even alive is because you’ve grabbed me two seconds before I’m going to be killed every time.

Then there you go.  That means you know I would never actually kill you, and will in fact save you.  Which is as good as being immortal.

[Don’t ever stop, Tony.]

“It’s a hotel room,” she shrugged. “I just figured walls would muffle your moaning better.” Deftly, she unbuckled her cuirasse, dropping it on the floor and stretching out her arms, then going to work on the rest of the armour pieces. “You know I didn’t bring any clothes or anything, right?”

Victor chuckled heartily, “Oh yeah? An’ what of your moaning eh, love?” His smile lit up his face as he made his way over to the bed and flopped down on it, arching his back to help him take off his shirt. “An’ you think I mind tha’ you don’t have anything else? Come t’ think about it, neither did I, so we’ll just have t’ keep each company now won’t we?”

“Victor, darling,” she laughed, “are you suggesting we play nudist in here? I’m not entirely opposed to the idea, mind, but I’d really rather have something else to wear.” She raised her brows pointedly at him. “And there’s the question of food, as well.”

“Of course, how about this, you try an’ get comfortable here an’ I’ll head out an’ get us some food, as well as something you’ll be a little comfortable in, yeah?” There was a gleam in his eyes as his mind wandered off towards something he could buy her. “Anything tha’s tickling your fancy t’ eat come t’ mind?”

“I expect there’s a chinese takeout somewhere around here. I’m really craving sweet and sour right now.” She blew out a sigh, rolling her shoulders and rubbing at them with one hand. “I’m going to get a shower while you do that, okay?”

ltcolwarmachine replied to your post: James looked at Summer with a raised eyebrow and confusion. “What’s wrong is that we may have … well you know … ” He took a deep breath. “I think we may have had sex last night,” Rhodey said finally getting the words off his chest.

“You know we are not supposed to … aren’t you with Tony?”

“I don’t know anything of the sort.” Summer stretched, sinews popping. “What I know is last night was extremely nice, and if you stop talking to me I am going to sic Tony on you.” She sat up, hair spilling over her shoulders. “Rhodey, darlin’, I’d not have given in if there was going to be a problem.”

James looked at Summer warily. “Are … you sure? I don’t really want to start any trouble….nor step on any landmines that might be present,” he said with caution. When he heard Summer talking about how their night was special, he calmed down a bit. He held out his hand to hold her cheek. “Alright sweetie…” Rhodey said with a smile. “So…should we go for round two…or should I make breakfast?”

“I’m quite sure.” She curled her hand over his, smiling. “Empath. I know these things. I’m also quite sure breakfast should come before any further exertions.”

“There’s no point in camping out. We might as well have a comfortable bed.” Summer winked slowly at Victor, arms folded as she gazed around. It was … almost eerily familiar. Small town businesses with faded signs, streetlight posts with seasonal decorations between carefully trimmed trees. The hotel was clearly a renovated old house, lovingly kept up.

It was hard to believe they were there to hunt a vampire.

Victor smiled, “Good point there.” He said as he headed towards the hotel. When they got inside he smiled to the person behind the desk, ” ‘Ello, one room, queen size bed?”

“Sure, we’ve got a few open rooms, here’s a key.” The receptionist smiled as Victor took the key and headed up the stairs. The room was the 3rd on the right, quickly, Victor put the key in the lock and opened the door, leading the way into a fairly nice hotel room. There was a queen size bed and a tv hung in a corner. The bathroom was normal sized and the shower fairly big. “Well, not bad at all I think,” Victor said as he turned to Summer.

“It’s a hotel room,” she shrugged. “I just figured walls would muffle your moaning better.” Deftly, she unbuckled her cuirasse, dropping it on the floor and stretching out her arms, then going to work on the rest of the armour pieces. “You know I didn’t bring any clothes or anything, right?”
