She smiled and closed the distance between them. "I think I should be a little disturbed you have learned so much about me in such a short time."
She pulled off a piece of cotton candy and popped it in her mouth. "Yes, I have studied ballet. I have danced with the Bolshoi Ballet Company." She wasn't going to confirm the martial arts part. A girl had to have some secrets. "I am not afraid of heights or flying at fast speeds. My late husband was a test pilot for Russia. He used to take me up in a jet with him."
She smiled. "As for the seducing you part, Mr. Stark, perhaps I was waiting for you to seduce me. You always have women chasing after you. Do you not enjoy doing the chasing once and awhile? Being the hunter can be as exciting as being the prey."
She popped another piece of cotton candy in her mouth and this time slowly licked the sticky substance off her fingertips.
His grin grows as he moves hair slowly away from her face. No, normally he wouldn't give a good goddamn what she wanted. Women were another high or challenge, but that's it. He'd done his time in an ill-fated relationship back in school.
Something about her biography was itching at his mind, but - ah, screw it.
"Oh, I get chased, fetched, and then they roll over and play dead because I tell them that's what I want. What about you?"
"Of course they do, but when was the last time you had to do the chasing? When was the last time you had a decent challenge?" She put a fingertip lightly on his bottom lip. "I love a good challenge, Mr. Stark."
Keeping his hands off her is a challenge already. Hands glide down and across her waist but he doesn't pull her close so she'll be able to see the faint glow of his breastplate. "Might take awhile. I'm not as easy as I used to be." Liar.
She smiled and let him get away with the lie. "What a shame." She trailed her fingertip across his lips. "I was hoping this would prove to be a very. Long. Night."
"Who said anything about a short night? All I said is that I wasn't as easy as I used to be." He moves his mouth around her fingers. They taste like salt from the air mingled with cotton candy. His own fingers move up slightly into the curves of her body.
She also hasn't said yet what she wants - so now his curiosity is killing him.
"And now our conversation comes back to value and worth. Tell me, Mr. Stark, Anthony, are you worth the challenge?"
She smiled and pressed a light kiss to his mouth. "Or perhaps I should say goodnight and seek my evening entertainment elsewhere?"
"No," he admits. "I'm not." His hands, calm, skilled, and assured call him a liar. The kiss he pulls her into after her goodnight call him a damn liar.
That's when she feels it though - the breastplate.
Natasha let him kiss her and could tell it was the kiss of a man with a lot of experience. It could be an interesting evening if she let him seduce her.
The hard metal breastplate didn't go unnoticed. She made a mental note of it returned the kiss. It could be left for sometime later.
The kiss ended and she pulled back. "That kiss proves otherwise," she said as she licked her lips a little. It tasted of peanuts and a slight hint of champagne.
