She had to laugh. \u201cWe\u2019ll get back to the issue of flight later, I think. I wouldn\u2019t even try to match you drink for drink, Mr Stark.\u201d Summer sauntered over to him, putting a little extra sway in her step under the long circle skirt she wore. She looked up, enjoying the near-foot of height difference. \u201cHow would you like to begin?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cSo I owe you one for a race, challenge, whatever you want to call it. We\u2019ll have to set the stakes though\u2026keep it interesting. And that\u2019s a shame, because I know I\u2019d win\u2026but you might\u2019ve ended up with alcohol poisoning if you were insane enough to take me up on that offer. That just leaves sex, and that might be my favorite of the three.\u201d Tony\u2019s eyes followed her hips, almost mesmerized by her stride as she approached him. Biting his bottom lip, he slipped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer. \u201cWhy don\u2019t we just see where this takes up?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cHmmm, I like that idea. A race, in the morning when you\u2019ve worn me out? Or perhaps it\u2019ll be the reverse, as you struggle to manage your suit after a night without sleep?\u201d Summer let the laugh run low in her throat, sliding her hand up the arm wrapped around her. Her voice dropped to a murmur as she added, \u201cOr we can skip flight entire and stick with sex. If you\u2019re good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cSleep is for the weak\u2014I could stay up all night and\u00a0still\u00a0<\/em>beat your ass. Whether or not you would be able to compete is up for debate though.\u201d He quirked an eyebrow at her gutsy statement of if he was \u2018good enough.\u2019 \u201cI think I\u2019ll have to prove my worth here, just to keep my reputation intact.\u201d He tilted his head, staring down at her with a bemused smirk, just inches from her face.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Oh, a lady doesn’t kiss and tell, Mr Stark. Have no fear for your reputation.” Her eyes darkened under the wash of his emotions. “If you’re proving your worth, shall I be submissive, then? Beg for your attentions? Or do your prefer a girl who knows her own mind?” This time she scratched her nails back down his arm over the fabric of his shirt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
