𝑇𝐻𝐸 𝑁𝐸𝑊 𝐴𝑉𝐸𝑁𝐺𝐸𝑅 - Peter Parker

Chapter 8

His thumb was gracing up and down my thigh, making me even more turned on. Fuck he knew just what he was doing.

"Will Tony get mad if he finds out about us?" I asked, with my lips almost touching his. He grabbed my chin, with his index finger and thumb, and lifted my head slightly.

"I'm willing to take that chance." He said, while moving closer and closer to me. At that very moment his lips brushed over mine, like a wave of warmth, and all my body reacted to him instinctively. My toes curled, his smell was like heaven. The taste of him... it silenced my thoughts, and made me want more...

"Welcome everyone!" Tony said in a microphone, to get everyone's attention. Peter's lips retracted from mine, and then turned to Tony, who was now speaking about a donation to the rainforests. I barely heard what Tony said, totally paralyzed from Peter's kiss. I looked down at his hand. It was holding mine. I smiled a little to myself, and got up without dragging attention to me. I stood slightly behind Peter, who was still paying attention to Tony's speech. I slowly kissed him on the cheek and he instantly tried to hide his smile. I carefully caressed his neck and leaned in close.

"Wanna get outta here?" I whispered. He tightened his grip a little in my hand. He's turned on. I thought, and smiled to myself.

"Yeah." He said, still looking at Tony. I turned to the table to grab my bag, but in that moment I heard Tony say, "And there she is! The newest member of the team." A little spotlight hit me and I had to think fast. I grabbed my drink that luckily had been refilled by the bartender, while Tony was speaking. I held up my glass in a 'toast' way and smiled. Everyone looked at me and clapped.

"A toast to you, Audrey." Tony said and held up his glass too. He then proceeded to talk about the charity donation. Peter got close to me again.

"Great... Now we can't leave. People will notice." He said, sighing looking down. I leaned on the bar, and looked out on some people still looking at me.

"Yeah way too many people are looking at me right now." I said. I gave him an apologizing smile, and he gave one back. We kept on listening to Tony, until he finished by raising his glass.

"To saving the planet!" Everyone followed his lead and lifted their glasses and drinks too. "Now let's turn this party up a notch!" He yelled and downed his drink. The music changed to a more upbeat tempo and people started dancing. I laughed a little looking at the people who looked like rich assholes now danced like idiots. Never would have thought they had it in them.

Some people came up and congratulated me. Just enough so I couldn't leave with Peter. I spotted him on the dance floor with a beer in his hand. He looked a little drunk, but I couldn't help but smile from time to time.

Almost everyone was dancing, except for Loki and I. He sat at the other end of the bar. He was the man sitting there, when I asked for a martini. I looked at him sitting there, sipping his beer. He didn't look happy. I felt kinda bad for him, but I couldn't point out why. I walked over to him and leaned on the bar, now standing next to him, and looking at him. He looked up at me, and back at his beer and took another sip.

"What do you want?" He asked, still looking at his beer.

"I just wanted to say sorry, for what I said to you at the meeting..." I said, while sitting down on the edge of the stool next to him. He looked at me, and laughed.

"I think I can handle your snotty teenage comments." He said, and scoffed. I took his beer, and drank the last slurp. When I was done, I slammed it down in front of him, making him jump slightly in his seat. I got up, and leaned in to make sure he heard what I said.

"Sure you can... that's why you got up, and yelled at me." I whispered. He turned his head angry. His face was right in front of mine. He had clenched his jaw. " I was just trying to be the bigger person by apologizing... But suit yourself." I said and walked away. I headed for Peter who was still dancing. Before reaching Peter I turned around to see a smug smile on Loki's face. I was distracted when someone grabbed my hips and pulled me close them. I looked back and saw Peter leaning up at me. He was still moving to the song. I smiled, turned around, and started dancing with him.

We danced for probably ten minutes, when the music suddenly stopped. "Alright people, let's slow it down a little." The deejay said, and put on a slower song. The Night We Met started playing, and Peter turned to me, with a cute smile on his face.

He took out his hand gesturing for me, to put mine in it. I smiled and put my hand in his. He then quickly dragged me up to him, and kissed me. It was the kind of kiss that was both intense and sweet. I chuckled because of his cuteness, and then put my head on his shoulder, starting to slow dance with him.

When the song was over the next one played. Sparks by Coldplay... It was a slow song too, so we kept dancing. "Peter?" I asked after leaning a little back, to look him in the eyes. We were still moving slowly to the music.

"Mhm." He responded, also with a little smile on his face.

"I heard about your aunt... I'm sorry." I said with caring eyes sinking into his. I could see the tears starting to form. He looked down, now without a smile.

"Hey... it's okay." I said and lifted his face, so he was looking straight at me. I gave him a small peck on the nose. He then put his hand on the back of my head, and stroked my hair in a reassuring way. I laid my head on his shoulder again.

"I know." Peter whispered. I closed my eyes.
