"JARVIS, start the shower," Tony said and enjoyed the view as he let his gaze roam over both Pepper and Loki to his heart's content.

"Yes, Sir," JARVIS replied and the shower came on, steaming in only seconds.

"JARVIS is watching us?" Loki asked. "I thought there was a privacy protocol."

"There is," Tony replied, "but JARVIS always watches me unless I tell him not to. I can if you want, but I wouldn't mind having a record of this."

He was well aware some people did not like the idea of recordings of their sex lives, but no one had ever accused Tony of lacking in narcissistic tendencies. In reality he didn't keep many of the recordings, but there were a couple he had stashed deep in JARVIS' mainframe. Both were him and Pepper; he had junked all the older ones after he had devoted himself to monogamy.

"You wish to be able to replay whatever happens here?" Loki asked showing no shock, simply curiosity.

"Yeah," he replied; "any objections?"

"No," Loki replied and appeared, at least to Tony, just a little pleased.

He scored one for a fellow narcissist and held out a hand to Pepper.

"Clean and then blood?" Tony asked.

"That would seem advisable," Loki agreed.

"Don't worry about a thing," Pepper said as Tony opened the shower door and allowed Loki to step inside; "we don't want you over taxing yourself."

"I am perfectly capable ..."

Tony silenced Loki by putting a finger on the demi-god's lips.

"Of course, you are," he said, "but please, let us play."

One thing that had been very clear from the mind meld was that Loki had a serious inferiority complex and was very touchy when it came to being perceived as weak.

"I meant no disrespect," Pepper said, deftly closing the door and enclosing them in warm heat, "I'm just used to coaxing Tony into these things."

"My apologies," Loki said quietly, clearly off balance.

Pepper smiled and then leaned in to Loki, pausing momentarily to ask permission and then leaning in the rest of the way to give Loki a kiss as the demi-god swayed towards her. It wasn't a very long kiss, but there was something about it that had a great deal of Tony's blood heading south. He knew Pepper and Loki still reacted to each other on a very base level and now they weren't attempting to control it, it was incredibly evocative.

"Wow," he said, "do I get one of those?" because of course his mouth was never out of action unless it was occupied.

As expected, Pepper was only too happy to oblige, as was Loki, apparently and Tony felt quite breathless as first one, then the other did far more than peck him on the cheek. He might possibly have been grinning like a loon when both of them had pulled back.

"Clean," Pepper said before he could open his mouth again; "before we get sidetracked."

When Pepper used that tone, Tony didn't argue and reached round for the sponge and the wash cloth sitting on the shower rack, as well at the very expensive shower wash Pepper insisted on for every bathroom. He passed the sponge to Pepper and kept the wash cloth for himself, emptying a good measure of the gel onto it. Loki watched all this with casual disinterest, although Tony couldn't help noticing that Loki's cock was definitely taking notice. Tony had no doubt Loki had been telling the truth when the demi-god said he was totally male, because that was one impressive dick.

"Water pressure down," Tony said, since the very cleverly designed shower (yes he had put together the blueprints himself, the original design had been completely inefficient) already had them all nice and wet.

The shower turned into a light mist that would keep them warm, but not wash off all the soap instantly. With a grin Tony put the wash cloth flat against Loki's chest and began to lather Loki up. Pepper began on their demi-god's back.

It was abundantly clear that Loki was not quite sure how to react, because that blank look Tony knew how to interpret was firmly in place.

"Not used to showering with others?" he asked in a conversational tone as he very much enjoyed watching suds run over Loki's chest.

"We have communal baths," Loki replied, voice devoid of expression, "but I long since chose to maintain my privacy."

An alarm rang in Tony's head at that; clearly they were wandering into body image territory again.

"Can't say I blame you," he replied; "there is nothing worse than a bath full of jocks to totally ruin anyone's mood. Wow, you have really perfect skin."

Because Loki was not maintaining whatever spell he used to protect himself, the skin under Tony's hands was incredibly pale, but it was totally smooth and blemishless.

"I'm jealous," Pepper said, although Tony knew for a fact Pepper had perfect skin as well.

"Cleaning," Tony said, more to himself than anyone else, "must remember, cleaning."

"Having problems, Mr Stark?" Pepper asked, a laugh in her voice.

"Well he's distracting, Miss Potts," Tony defended himself.

"Yes, I know," Pepper returned.

"And he is currently present," Loki added, possibly a little acidly.

"Oh, trust me, Casanova, we know," Tony replied and looked Loki right in the eye; "Pep's just trying to keep me on track. God, I want to run my tongue all over you."

Loki went from annoyed, through surprised into pleased in under a second; it was fun to watch.

"Later, Tony," Pepper said and then crouched down with the grace of a dancer and began to work on Loki's lower half.

"Oh boy," Tony said as his mind conjured up so many possibilities; "I think I'll stay up here or I really will get distracted."

He only had so much will power after all.

"What?" he asked innocently when Loki lifted an elegant eyebrow at him. "Pepper's had practice; she's found me semi-passed out in the lab a time or two. She's good at this."

And she was; she had Loki all clean in moments without it being weird at all. Tony would never understand how she did that.

"Would you like us to wash your hair?" Pepper asked as she stood up again.

"Once I am stronger, I could simply use magic," Loki replied.

"You could," Pepper said and graced Loki with one of her understanding smiles, "but what would you prefer?"

"I would prefer to feel you fingers running over my scalp," Loki said, "but I fear we may not have time."

"Feeling the effects again?" Tony asked, dropping anything coy for more practical matters.

"I believe so," Loki admitted.

"Right, then let's get this done," he replied. "I'm going to brace myself over here because I really don't want to end up in a heap on the floor, then I'm ready when you are."

He moved to the corner, making sure he had plenty of surface to lean against and then held out his arms in invitation. It must have been urgent, because Loki did not need inviting twice.

There was nothing soft about Loki; the demi-god was all hard lines and muscle and it was difficult to miss when Tony felt it pushed against him in the shower cubicle. Not many men turned Tony on, he was much more a woman's man, but there was something about powerful and lean that did it for him. The fact he was in the shower with two people who could probably rip him apart if they so chose, appealed to his sense of excitement and the attractiveness level was off the scale.

Frankly, Tony didn't need anything to help along his arousal. However, as Loki bit down there was the same surge of lust and need he had felt the first time. This time he didn't fight it. He let it wash through him, taking him to a sexual high that blew any sensible thought out of his mind. There was no specific sensation; it was not simulated sex, it was simply as if every neuron in his brain was suddenly wired for sexual gratification.

Underneath it he could sense Loki. He knew if he pushed, he would end up in Loki's head again, but he didn't, holding himself in the virtual world of the phantom sex. It was incredible as his body hummed with it. He could feel Loki's hands on his body, but his nerves were reacting to non-existent stimulae, not what was actually happening. It was confusing and totally mind blowing.

His cock was achingly hard, and he was desperate to come in what could only have been a few seconds. For a man who prided himself on his vast knowledge of sex it was so new in its difference that it had him completely. If this was what Loki had done to those nameless others the demi-god had fed on, it was no wonder they hadn't noticed what else was going on.

He definitely tried to swear, but all that came out of his mouth was something a little less coherent than a floundering seal. It would have been embarrassing if it hadn't been so damn good.

How long the experience went on he couldn't have said because it felt like far too long and not even close to long enough all at the same time. When his body finally caved to the overwhelming sensations and he came ridiculously hard, everything went white. It took some deep breaths and some very wanton noises before he felt half ready to return to the real world. When he opened his eyes and blinked, he felt himself smiling in a very satisfied manner, which totally belied the quiet concern with which Loki was looking at him.

"Fuck, I like that," he said, at which point Loki's expression relaxed.

"I can tell," Pepper said and smirked at him from where she was standing against the clear shower wall.

"You have a most gratifying reaction," Loki added, appearing quite pleased with himself.

It was also more than obvious that Loki was feeling a hell of a lot better. The demi-god's skin had more colour, his eyes were brighter, and he appeared all together healthy.

"Feeling better?" Tony asked, just in case.

"Much, thank you," Loki replied.

"Maybe we should make sure?" Tony suggested with a mischievous grin.

"One should always test one's hypotheses," Loki replied with an equally roguish expression, "however, I believe we are neglecting our most beautiful companion, which is unforgivable."

"Oh, I can't say I mind watching," Pepper replied and licked her lips.

"But he's right, Pep," Tony said and tried to push himself off the shower wall. "Oh," he said as his legs shook, "actually, I think I'll stay here for a minute."

Clearly his body needed a little time to recover.

"Are you okay?" Pepper asked, slipping out of the game for a second.

"Fine," he assured her, "just need to convince my legs that bearing my weight is a good idea. But don't let me stop you two."

He leered at her just to make sure she believed him, and he got the expected eye roll. Loki seemed to take that as his cue and turned away from Tony.

"May I be of service, My Lady?" Loki asked, scant inches from Pepper.

"Oh yes," Pepper replied and Tony saw the spark in her eyes.

Since he was still trying to get his legs to work correctly, Tony didn't so much as move when Loki fell to his knees. It clearly wasn't what Pepper had expected, but the way she pushed herself against the wall, widening her stance just a little as Loki looked up again for permission said everything that needed to be said. Tony found himself biting his lip as he watched Loki lean forward, gently open Pepper with two fingers and then swipe her with his tongue.

Pepper gave a full body shudder that had Tony wanting to reach out and touch her, but he didn't dare let go of the wall yet.

Contrary to popular belief, Tony did not watch a lot of porn. Once upon a time he had, when much younger, but not anymore; he preferred the real thing. When he had been a porn aficionado, he hadn't really been overly impressed with men going down on women; it had bored him. He liked doing it, he had just never liked watching it.

This was completely different.
