Let's Keep This Between Us - A Batman/Supergirl Romance

Chapter 12 - Worth

For the next several weeks after letting Dick know that Bruce and I had slept together, we kept our promise of hiding it from Clark temporarily. I also made a special trip to Bludhaven to speak with Dick by myself and truly apologize for not just coming to terms with my feelings like a big girl. After a couple of hours of talking, we came to a mutual understanding and agreed to remain friends with water treading under the bridge. Again, he had told me "Good luck," before we parted. I swear, I know Bruce can be a handful at times with his moods and overall stone cold demeanor, but he really wasn't as bad as people kept seeming to make him out to be. It could also have been that he was different when it was just him and I together. That thought made me smile to myself as I strode past Ruby's desk to enter Bruce's office. Bruce immediately looked up from his paperwork with a grin as if sunlight had just peeked from behind rain clouds.

"There she is," he said as he rose from his desk. I turned around to face the door after I shut it, raising my fingers to lock it. Wouldn't want Ruby barging in on what was about to transpire. Bruce cocked an eyebrow as he watched me lock the door. I then turned around, removing the clip that held my hair in a bun atop my head and letting the gold waves fall in all their glory. I slowly sauntered over to him, undoing one button at a time of my shirt as I approached.

"I think I like where this is going...," Bruce said, eyeing me intently as I approached the desk. I sat atop it, spreading my legs and hiking my skirt up to show him that I just so happened to not be wearing any underwear. He smiled at me as his hands moved to his belt.

"Care to see how much weight the desk can handle?" I asked with a mischievous grin and we proceeded in yet another carnal bout of good 'ol fashioned sexing. Our relationship the past few weeks oozed of heated attraction, flirting, and just all around consumption of one another. We still hadn't had the actual "relationship" conversation as I am sure Bruce hesitated for the very same reasons I did. We were superheroes, balancing a healthy relationship; checking emotions at the door and balancing the alter-egos would be a challenge. Kal made it look so easy with Lois and I wanted nothing more than to ask him his secrets, but I couldn't do that. Even if we told him, I'm still not sure he'd have that conversation, because, well, he probably wouldn't want the relationship to work. For now, Bruce and I were just enjoying one another and I was okay with that. I got to have Batman whenever I wanted him and the results always left me floating with ecstasy...sometimes literally.

I decided one day to surprise Bruce on my day off by bringing him lunch to work. I knew that he rarely even remembered to eat half the time between whisking off to guard the streets of Gotham and running Wayne Enterprises. I pushed the door open slowly, a paper bag full of deliciously greasy Chinese food clutched to my chest.

"Knock, knock." I said as he peered up from his desk in surprise.

"Isn't it your day off?" he questioned as I continued my way in.

"Why yes it is. This is called...a sweet gesture," I mocked as I plopped the bag of food onto his desk. He reviewed it before looking up at me with a devilish grin.

"Here I thought you came to test the desk again," he remarked as I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Easy, Cowboy, eat...now and then maybe we'll talk about the desk," I retorted with a wink as I moved around the desk to give Bruce a kiss while reaching out with my hand to open the bag of food. I peeled away, frowning at the lipstick stains left across Bruce's mouth as I licked my thumb to rub it off. He raised an eyebrow at me.

"Did you just use your spit to clean my mouth off?" he asked with amusement and I rolled my eyes, placing his food in front of him and shoving a pair of chopsticks in his hand.
