Just as Steve pulled her, Tony pushed from behind to help her stand, bracing her to make sure she didn't fall backward if she lost her balance. Once she was up, he climbed off the couch, and now it was kind of noticeable that the action so far had turned him on. This was nothing compared to what was probably going to happen. He just hoped they didn't break poor Steve, especially after a hangover. He made sure to stand behind Pepper as they walked upstairs so she wouldn't stumble and fall, his hands on her hips as he followed close.
