His Armored Heart

Chapter Twenty Five

Once they returned to the villa, Tony made his way into the bathroom to wash his face off. "I think I got some sand in my eye, can you check?" He called out to Bree.

Bree kicked off her sandals and walked into the bathroom. She hoisted herself to sit on the counter to be at eye level with Tony before gently pulling him to her to check. "How on earth would you get sand in your eye?"

"I don't know, but my eyes are burning, and I can't think of anything else that would cause it." Tony answered.

"I don't see anything sweetheart," Bree cooed. "Go lie down and I'll get a cold washcloth. Maybe the coolness will help."

"Thank you darling." Tony stole a quick kiss, then walked back into the bedroom. He kicked off his shoes and pants, then sat on the edge of the bed to unbutton his shirt.

Bree ran a cloth under cold water then wrung it out before she walked back into the bedroom. "I'll be glad when we can get JARVIS to scan you."

"I doubt the two have anything to do with each other." Tony said truthfully.

"You never know." Bree had Tony lay back then laid the cold cloth over his eyes. "How is that?"

"That does help." Tony said softly. "I don't think my body likes this climate." He joked.

"It's a bit more humid than Florida," she shrugged.

"That could be it, I don't know." Tony sighed.

Bree frowned and slowly ran her hand through his hair. "Do you think a shower would help? I could join you... you should be the one to remove my wedding dress after all."

"Take a shower with you... for the sake of my health? Yes, doctor, I'll do it." Tony teased.

She laughed and shook her head. "Doctor's orders, Mr. Stark."

"I will need to see your credentials." Tony said with a grin.

"Hmm I'm not sure you do," she replied coyly.

"And if I insist?" Tony playfully challenged.

Bree leaned down and pecked his lips, leaving the cloth over his eyes. "You'll have to find them."

Tony's grin widened. "I do enjoy finding things."

"I love when you search for them," she countered.

"Get the shower ready. I'm going to keep the cloth on my eyes until you're ready. It is helping." Tony said before pulling Bree into a kiss.

Bree smiled into the kiss and gently nipped his bottom lip before stepping away. "I won't make it overly hot, that will only make the dryness worse." She turned and went into the bathroom to prepare the shower.

Tony sat up, holding the cloth in place over his eyes. Whatever this is, it better resolve itself.

Keeping her dress on, Bree bent down to test the temp of the water before she turned on the shower head and stepped back. "Showers running baby."

Tony moved his hand from his eyes, letting the cloth stay in his hand. Carrying it with him, he got up and walked into the bathroom. "Can I undress you now?"

Bree smiled at him sweetly while she removed pins from her hair. "Yes you can... husband."

"I am looking forward to a shower with my wife." Tony said with a grin.

A blush filled Bree's cheeks. "I don't know if I'll ever get tired of hearing you say that."

"Why are you blushing? You have the richest man in the world. Be confident." Tony encouraged.
