Tony liked Niamh enough that he'd been willing to keep dating her despite the lack of sex currently involved in their relationship. He also liked her enough that he wasn't seeing anyone else, hadn't seen anyone else since their second date. As far as who he was, sometimes he wasn't even sure who he was. He knew who he needed to be for the media, but Tony Stark got lost somewhere beneath all of the hype. Or maybe, he was just so used to who he thought he needed to be that it was unnatural to be who he really was. In any case, she was getting to know more of him than most people.

The rush of desire he could feel thrumming through her body, combined with that whimper made him groan, a deep, throaty sort of sound. He wanted to stop even less right now than he had previously. In fact, what he wanted was to pick her up and carry her up to his bedroom. In this particularly instance, he did not do what he wanted. Whoever said Tony Stark couldn't deny himself anything had no idea what they were talking about.
