Outlander

Chapter 15

Sitting down on a chair with Claude still clinging unto me.

"Your channelling your inner koala, Claude." I said, hearing a giggle from him.

As Claude let go of me and placed a kiss on my cheeks, "Your hair it's all white now." He said, amazement in his eyes.

Chuckling at him, ruffling his hair as he touched and played with my hair.

"It suits you. Any color suits you. You're beautiful, Via." He said, giving him a wide smile and placing a kiss on his forehead, "Thank you Claude." I replied, noticing a faint blush on his cheeks and his ears reddened.

"Want to taste what I made?" I asked as he quickly nodded his head, giggling at him as I offered my hand, placing his hand on mine as we walked towards the garden.

Sitting outside with Claude eating the mango float, I was happily looking at him, placing my face on my palm as he looked at me. Claude smiled which I smiled back.

"You made this?" He asked, nodding my head, "Yes." I replied, "It's so delicious." He said, "Well, I would eat anything you give to me." He added, earning a chuckle from me.

"Even if I poisoned it?" I asked, Claude looked at me directly in my eyes, "Yes. Even if you'll put poison in it." He answered as I laughed at him and ruffled his hair.

"Don't trust me that much, Claude." I said, "But I do. I trust you. With all my life." He replied as he smiled at me and continued to eat his food.

My heart swelled with warmth at his words. Averting my eyes away, squinting my eyes seeing a familiar person talking to Sister EL and Sister Cristine.

Feeling my soulmark itch, my eyes widened and my body froze realizing who it was.

Tony freaking Stark.

"Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ. What is he doing here?" I mumbled, "Via... Via." Claude called, looking at him, placing his hand on my face, "You look pale." He said, clearing my throat as I forced a smile.

"I'm okay." I replied as he looked at Tony, Pepper appeared in front of us blocking Claude's view of Tony.

"Rivia, nice to see you again." She greeted as Happy also approached us, "Are you okay? You look pale." She asked, worriedly.

Smiling at them, "Hey, nice to see you too. Pepper. Happy. I'm fine, no worries." I replied as they nodded their heads.

Briefly glancing back at Tony as the Sisters were busy talking to him. "Excuse me." I said as Claude tightened his hold to me, looking at him and gently patted his head.

"I'll be right back." I said as he nodded his head and let go of my hand.

Entering through the back door of the kitchen, thankful enough that he didn't notice me.

I have to get out of here.

Tapping my finger at the kitchen counter, turning around, my eyes widened.

It was Tony Stark dressed in an expensive suit with sunglasses leaning his shoulder on the doorway, I stepped back as he walked towards me.

"I finally found you." He said, removing his sunglasses and smirking at me.

Raising my eyebrows at him, "I don't know what you mean, sir." I said as he chuckled.

"I think you do cinnamon." He replied as I continued to take a step back, "Shit." I mumbled, realizing I'm cornered.

"You sound sexy when you cuss, sugar." He said as he snaked his arms on my waist, pulling me closer to him.

Our eyes met as he gave me a big smile, "Beautiful." He whispered and softly rested a hand on my face, carefully caressing it like a fragile thing.

"So beautiful." He added as his smile widened, hissing feeling a burning sensation on my wrist.

"Can I?" He asked as he looked at me directly in my eyes, different emotions swirling in his eyes, swallowing a lump in my throat as I nodded my head.

Grabbing my wrist as he one handedly folds my sleeves, his eyes widened seeing my soulmarks, looking back at me as I diverted my eyes away.

"Have you met any of our soulmates?" He asked as I shook my head, staring back at him, hearing him laugh.

"Then that makes me the first one." He said, boastfully, rolling my eyes and chuckling at what he said.

"You look more beautiful when you smile." He said as he grabbed my wrist, ran his thumb over his mark and placed a chaste kiss on it.

"Want to see yours?" He asked as I nodded my head, letting go of me instantly missing his warm presence, removing his suit as my eyes widened, "What are you doing?" I asked as he looked at me and laughed.

"Believe me, babe. If I want to take you, not here." He said, feeling a rush of heat to my neck.

Folding his sleeves, seeing the mark on his left forearm.

The one that Claude drew.

Marching towards him with my eyes fixated on the mark, lifting my hand as I lightly touched his arm.

My hand froze, hearing a moan from him sending delicious shivers to my spine, "I'm a man with an incredible self-control but I won't be able to control myself if you'll continue to touch me like that." He said as I quickly retracted my hands.

"Sorry." I said as he grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him, "Don't be sorry, bunny. It's normal." He replied and caressed my face.

Closing my eyes and leaning towards his hands, a sigh escaped from me.

"You look like a bunny." He said and chuckled. Opening my eyes as he placed my hair at the back of my ear, Tony leaned forward and placed a kiss on my forehead.

"As much as I want to take you right here at this very moment. It won't be an appropriate sight if one of the kids will see us." He said, "With you bending in front of me, taking me fully. Moaning my name as I thrust deep inside of you." He whispered in my ear as I shivered at what he said.

"But I can kiss you." He said and leaned forward, "And when I'm finally alone with you, we can go beyond a kiss, my bunny." He added, leaning forward as our lips were centimeters apart.
