I Could Have Danced All Night
The grand ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel on 57 East 57th street was festively decorated for the holidays. A series of lit candles on every table gave off warm light and the dulcet tones of a jazz ensemble filled the room.

People, the upper elite of New York society, Hollywood celebrities, musicians, politicians and New York’s own superheroes moved around the room. People sat at tables and talked, while some moved gracefully around the large dance floor.

Tables loaded with unwrapped and unopened toys lined one wall and at one end stood a very large decorated Christmas tree. Wrapped presents sat under the tree, but they were just empty boxes wrapped for decoration. Mistletoe hung from the ceiling near the tree and people stopped to kiss.

The air was light and the mood happy and festive.

It was that working part that concerned her. She knew he'd be working to get the company back, it was what she would do, but what exactly was he doing? That was the big question. She had tried to find out of it was behind Scion Holdings and their purchases of stock, but so far she has been unsuccessful.

"No rest for the weary, or something like that. How is the family? I've seen quite a few articles about them recently."

	"No such thing as bad publicity." If Scion was somehow her doing, she'd gloat. Nope. Scion is someone else entirely and Maggie here isn't having any better luck identifying them then he is. "I think the press still loves the Cold War jokes a bit too much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Margaret nodded, but in truth it was what people like them told themselves all of the time. There was such a thing as bad publicity. "Should I expect to see you at the next shareholder's meeting?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You should always expect me somewhere, Maggie." He pats her on the back and wanders into the crowd. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Natasha had watched the exchange from a distance. She always had Tony's back, but she stayed out of Stark Inc business unless she was asked to help. When Tony separated from his half-sister, Natasha went up to him. "You know, I could make her disappear in about two minutes. No one would ever find the body." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Why bother? She'd get killed by the MIT poker team." He whisks his bride onto the dance floor. "She has no idea about Scion, and she's getting bought by them too. My guess is that she's not behind the bomb either." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A third party was not good news. Something nagged at the back of her mind, but she couldn't quite put a finger on it. There was something she was missing and she didn't like it. "There you go taking all my fun away," she teased. "Want me to do some looking around?" This was nice. All dressed up, a nice party and dancing with her husband. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nah. When we find out who screwed with the best date of my life you may stow the body in Disneyland for all I care. I will have even pour you a vodka martini and provide an iron-clad alibi." He grabs her and brings her dangerously close. "Not now," he growls a little into her ear. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Patience is not my strong suit, Mr. Stark," she said. That growl sent shivers down her spine and she smiled. She loved it when he growled. Who said being married killed the thrill of things? "Oh? Do you have something else in mind for right now?" she whispered into his ear. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good thing I learned some." He twirls her around and catches her as she leans back. He answers that question with a quick kiss right above her breast. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-12-22 01:33 am UTC (link)
	More shivers chased down her spine. As soon as she was upright, she kissed him deeply. Her husband had this talent of seducing her in the middle of a crowd of people and she loved every second of it. "I hear they have really nice rooms upstairs," she said with a slight waggle of her eyebrows. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Patience..." he smirks. Really he's wondering how long his wife's is going to last. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She's not going to finish that sentence. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oh it was totally worth not finishing that sentence. The kiss was deep and there was definitely toe curling going on. They were probably causing a scene and no doubt there would be pictures in the papers tomorrow, but to hell with it. They were married. They were allowed to cause a scene.

A slow smile appeared when he finally let her up for some air. She leaned in close. "I was going to say the most frustrating man on the planet, but after that kiss I'm going to have to go with wonderful."

	'I'm completely both." "So what else have I missed with the whole family reunion?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Which is probably why I married you." "Not much. It's rather quiet, which is scary in itself. Misha brought Warren's daughter. Our daughter is with Steve." This one had to be the strangest one of all..."James is with Valeria Richards. I saw a few kisses being exchanged." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What you're telling me is that the kids are distracted." He pauses. "Race you to the car." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-12-22 02:41 am UTC (link)
	"No, I'll race you upstairs." She kissed him and took his hand to lead him off the dance floor and out of the ballroom. (Reply to this)(Parent)
