The Next Morning...
Lily opened her eyes as she breathed out softly before she looked up at Bruce, whose arms were still securely wrapped around her, as she smiled when she saw his eyes opening as well.
"Very good morning, Brucey." she said softly as she played with one of his hands. He smiled. "Good morning to you too."
She smiled as she kissed his lips softly. "I'm pretty sure I already know the answer, but how did you sleep?" she asked as she kissed his shoulder. "Better than I have had in years." he said.
Lily smiled before Bruce kissed her softly and he got out of bed. "Brucey, what are you-" she started before Bruce fell forward to the floor and Lily quickly jumped out of bed only to see him doing his daily routine of pushups and Lily couldn't help but smile before she let out a breath.
"Damnit, Bruce Wayne, I just woke up could you not scare me like that?" she asked as she looked at him, unable to hide her smile before she crawled back in the bed. She sat there and watched him work out. And boy did it make her drool.
She tried not to make her staring noticable, but she couldn't help but watch her man do that...especially without any boxers on.
Good God. What is he trying to do to me?, she couldn't help but think as she watched him, biting her lip to keep from moaning.
Good, she's watching., He thought before he stopped in mid pull up and just hung there. "See something you like?" he asked.
She smirked as she got out of bed and walked to the bathroom oh so slowly, just to teas him. "Funny, I was going to ask you the same thing." she said before she smiled at him and turned to face him, showing the rest of her body before she closed the door of the bathroom and the shower started.
Smartass., He thought with a smile. "Hey, no using my seduction on you against me." He yelled as she went into the bathroom.
"Already done, love!" she yelled before she got into the shower.
He walked in and got in the shower with her. Lily smiled as she turned around. "Finished with your morning workout?" she asked with a smirk. "Mmmm maybe." he moaned.
She smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his chest softly. "What else is left?" she asked softly before she nibbled on one of his pecs. She watched his Batman of a smirk appear on his face. She couldn't help but smile as she closed what little space there was between them as she pressed herself up against him completely.
"Don't tempt me." he said. "Or what?" she asked softly as she giggled. He slipped two fingers inside of her. "Or else..."
She bit her lip again as she looked at him, shivering the instant he put his fingers into her. "Bruce..." she said so softly he barely heard her. He moaned softly as he kissed her neck while his fingers pumped in and out.
Lily couldn't help but let out her own moans as she held on to Bruce tightly, afraid she would fall if she didn't, as she dug her head in his shoulder as she moaned against his skin, her vibrations colliding with his own.
"God baby you're so tight." He moaned into her ear. "Bruce, I need more than just your very capable fingers inside of me right now." she moaned into his ear uncontrollably.
"No. You teased me..." He said as his fingers curved upwards to hit a certain spot. "Oh God Bruce!" she screamed into his skin.
I love it when she screams for me..., His thoughts trailed off as he kissed her.
She moaned in his mouth as she kissed him, getting lost in her passion and her love for Bruce.
As the water turned cold she felt her climax come. She moaned loudly in Bruce's mouth again as she held on to him, letting herself release on to his fingers.
He moaned softly against her neck. She ran her fingers through his hair as she kissed his shoulder. "Bruce Wayne, I love you." she said as she looked into his eyes. "I love you too, Geney." he said, looking into her eyes as well.
Lily smiled as she held his hands in hers before she looked at him and got down on her knees before him, running her hands slowly up and down his abs as she looked up at him with a small smile. He moaned softly as his hands caressed her wet hair. Oh God..., he thought as he looked at her. "Geney..."
"Brucey..." she said softly before she ran her hands down his legs before she caressed his member with her mout as she took him all the way into her mouth.
Bruce's head fell backwards as his eyes all but rolled up. He pressed himself against the tiles of the shower. Lily smiled against him as she licked him completely from top to his tip, flicking her tongue across his tip.
Oh God!, he thought as his hips bucked and shuddred out of reflex. While his hand gripped her hair tighter. She moaned as she nibbled on him, savoring the feel of him against her mouth and the way he tasted. Bruce's knees started to buckle as he used both of his hands to brace himself.
She pulled away from him gently as she said softly. "Moan for me, Bruce." she said softly before she wrapped her mouth and her tongue around him once again as she sucked on him.
His mouth hung open and a few seconds later a staggered and shuddering moan escaped him. She smiled as she kissed his hard member from his tip to the top of him before she slowly stood up as she looked at him.
"Geney...please..." he moaned.
She smiled at him as she held his hands. "Yes, Brucey?" she asked. "Not here." He said as his knees almost buckled again. "Why not here?" she asked softly as she stood up after letting go of him. "Becuase I'll fall." he said.
She smiled as she kissed his lips softly. "Well, I can't have that." she said before she lathered up one of her loofa sponges she had gotten for herself before she smiled at Brucey as she started helping him wash himself.
He moaned as he held her close to him. She smiled as she kissed his chin as she held him, wrapping her arms around him before she started to soap him a little more.
Bruce smiled as he and Lily started to soap each other as they finished their shower together in a state of utter bliss.
Once they were finished, Bruce had gotten dried off and dressed as he kissed Lily's cheek softly as she was drying off and picking out her clothes.
He walked out to the main room of the penthouse as Alfred was just finishing up their breakfast. "Good Morning, Alfred." Bruce said. "Good morning Master Wayne." Alfred said.
"Very good morning." he said softly. "Trust me, I can tell by the smile on your face." Alfred said. He smiled. "She's remarkable." he said just as Lily was walking out of their room as she smiled. "Well, thank you for that, Brucey." she said as she kissed his cheek. "Good morning, Alfred."
"Good morning, Miss Lily." Alfred said with a smile as he set the table with their food. Bruce smiled as he kissed Lily's lips. "Well it is true." he said with a smile as he held out her chair for her and she smiled as she kissed him back before sitting down, and Bruce sat next to her as they started to eat and Alfred couldn't help but be reminded of when the two were children eating breakfast or when they were having a picnic as they used to every weekend.
"I'll leave you two be. I have errands to run anyways." Alfred said as he turned to leave. The two nodded and just as Bruce was going to ask Lily what she was going to do for the day, his cell phone rang. She smiled softly at him as he answered. "Bruce Wayne?"
Lily couldn't help the shiver of ecstasy that ran through her, and Bruce couldn't help but notice as he continued his phone call.
"What happened?...I see, thanks Lucius, I'm on my way." Bruce said before he hung up and Lily inwardly sighed before she smiled softly at Bruce. "Is everything alright?" she asked. "No. Our business partner has been abducted so...well I'm sure you know what I'll have to do. When I get a little more information, I'll make sure to let you know if I'll be late or not tonight." he said and she smiled. "I undersand, sweetheart. Go on, go save the world." she said with a small giggle as Bruce smiled and kissed her before he soon left the penthouse.
Lily sighed as she looked down at Bruce's finished plate of breakfast and her almost finished plate as she looked out the window nearby before she finished and decided to do the dishes for Alfred so he could have a break later on.
About 20 minutes later there was a knocking at the door.
"Come in." she called out as she had just changed into some of her regular clothes as she was getting ready to go out and walk around to get to know Gotham a little more.
"Where's Bruce?"
"What's it to you?" Lily couldn't help but ask as she looked at Rachel, who just stepped into Bruce's penthouse as if she owned it. "Because I want to see him." She said. "Well he happens to be out at work...speaking of, what exactly do you do?" she asked smartly. "It's really none of your business, little girl." Rachel said. "I'm the same age as you." Lily retorted. "Listen to me, and listen good. It's my turn to be with Bruce. You had his heart all those years, even when you were off God knows where. So back off." Rachel said.
"Have you ever thought that maybe he's not interested in you? Maybe I've been his only love this entire time and if he's talked about me, as much as I've heard that he has since I've been gone, to you and you just haven't been able to read between the lines?" Lily asked as she smirked.
"I will have him." Rachel said as she glared at her.
"We will see." she said in the same tone, still with that smirk on her face. "But you can keep trying as long as you feel like failing, sweetie." she said sweetly before she sat down.
"If you don't back off of Bruce...I will make your life a living hell." Rachel said. Lily stood up as she stood face to face with Rachel. "Is that right?" she asked. "Now you listen, Rachel, my life WAS hell for 12 years. You think you can make my life hell?" Lily said, staring her down. Rachel glared at her even harder. "Go ahead and try. I dare you." Lily said seriously as she looked at her enemy.
"You really have no idea of the dangerous people that are in this city. I know every single one of them. Most of them hide under facades and they work personally with me. I will have them hunt you down. I want Bruce. I want you to leave him. And I want you to stay away from him for good. Or I will send my colleagues after you." Rachel said, coming dangerously close to Lily before she turned and left with a slam of the penthouse door.
Lily knew that everything Rachel had said was right. She did work as assistant to the District Attorney, but she also knew some dangerous people in high places that only had to pick up a phone for Lily's own life to be in great danger. She'd never been threatened before like that. She'd never made any enemies out of anyone because of her sweet and likable personality, and now she was truly terrified.
Lily looked over at a picture of she and Bruce that was sitting on a nearby table. He had told her he looked at that picture every day, that he carried it with him all the time. Just as she was reluctantly getting a pen and two pieces of paper out, her cell phone rang.
She picked it up and couldn't help but get tears in her eyes as she looked at the name. Bruce.
"Hello?" she answered, gulping down her tears so Bruce didn't realize anything was wrong. "Lily, I have to go to Hong Kong. Mr. Lau fled so I have to do some...Retrieval. What do they think I am a Labrador?" He said, trying to make her laugh. Lily could only let a soft laugh out, even though she meant it to be more prominent.
"Okay what's wrong? Usually you laugh louder than that." Bruce said. "Nothing, Brucey. I'm just concerned about you. I just want you to be safe." she said. "Oh, you know I will." he said. "I know...how long do you think it'll take?" she asked. "At least a day or two." Bruce said. She smiled. "Ok... Bruce?" she asked, wanting to tell him one more time. "Yes?" he asked. "I love you so much." she said honestly and Bruce could even hear that she had tears in her eyes when she said that.
Ok something's wrong., He couldn't help but think. "I love you too, Geney." He said softly. "When I come home, it'll be just you and me for a whole day."
Lily couldn't help but let her tears finally fall. "Ok." she said softly. "Alright. I'll talk to you soon. I promise." he said. "I hope so." she said before she reluctantly hung up.
Lily knew that Alfred would be coming back soon, so she had to write while she let out her tears as she wrote two notes. One for Alfred. One for Bruce.
She then made her way to her and Bruce's bedroom as she packed a suitcase of her new clothes, but she left behind some of them for Bruce to remember her by. She sighed as she left Bruce's note on his pillow before she picked up her suitcase. She lifted the suitcase from the bed after it was secured. She walked out to the living room, taking in every inch of the penthouse she wanted so badly to call home with Bruce for as long as she could.
I wanted this life so badly. Just Bruce and I., she thought. She wanted to stay, to fight Rachel, but what chance did she have against murderers?
Zero., she thought to herself before she put her cell phone down on the kitchen table before she taped Alfred's note on the wall so he would see it as soon as he got in later.
She looked around once more before she forced herself to turn and leave the penthouse for good. During her time with Bruce, he had taught her how to drive and once she had mastered it she had gotten her driver's license and once she did Bruce went out and bought her the most expensive car he could find, even though she would've been fine with something reasonable.
She sighed as she got into her car, put everything inside and drove away from the Wayne Foundation Building and from her life with Bruce.
About 30 minutes later, Alfred returned. "Miss Lily?" He called out in the quiet house.
There was no answer, and just as he was about to call out again, he saw a note with his name on it as he put down the groceries and read the note:
Dear Alfred,
You've always been like a second father to me. I couldn't respect or love you more, and I want to thank you for everything you've done for me. I just need you to do one thing. I need you to take very good care of Bruce. He needs you.
I had to leave the both of you. I'm so sorry, but I don't know how to handle Gotham, but I'm going to try to learn on my own. And hopefully I will come back one day. Please just make sure that Bruce finds someone else that loves him as much as I always will.
Love,
Lily
"Oh dear." He said with a sigh. He called Bruce from the house phone, leaving it on speaker as he started putting all of the groceries away.
"Hey Al." Bruce answered. "Are you busy, Master Bruce?" he asked. "Not as of now, Al. Why what's wrong?" Bruce asked. "Lily's left. It seems very unwillingly though." Alfred said as he looked at the note again before he picked up the house phone after he was finished putting everything away.
"Son of a..." He heard Bruce sigh. "Rachel..."
Alfred walked into Bruce's room and saw a note from Lily on his pillow. "She's left a note for you as well. She says that's exactly why she's left. It seems that Rachel has threatened her life with the people she knows in the District Attorney's office. Some of them, according to this letter and apparently whatever Rachel has told Lily, will come after her with just one phone call. She says she didn't want to put you in anymore danger, so she's left to keep you safe. And just to keep you from coming after her, she doesn't list where she went though so you won't find her." he said. "But as far as I know there's really only one place Miss Lily can go." Alfred said.
"Her family's mansion." He growled in frustration. "I am going to have a talk with Rachel when I get back." A very long talk., he thought.
"You may want to set her completely straight this time, Master Bruce. Would you like me to go and try to get Miss Lily to come back here?" he asked. "No Alfred, let her stay there for a while. Maybe she needs this." Bruce said. "As you wish, Master Bruce. Bring her home safely." Alfred said, knowing Bruce would want to handle things on his own with Lily as he always did, before he hung up.
Meanwhile...
Knock Knock Knock
Lily knocked on her childhood mansion's door. She never did have a key, the door was always open, but now it was locked.
"Just a minute." She heard an old familiar voice. The door opened and she saw her family's butler. "Winston!" she said happily. "...Miss Lily?" the old butler asked and she smiled. "Yes, it's me. I survived. I came back." she said.
"Oh, my dear girl!" he said as he pulled her into a hug. Lily smiled as she hugged her butler that was also another father-figure to her. "I've missed you so much. I've missed everyone...they probably aren't still here though, are they?" she asked as she put her head down. "Sadly only myself and Mrs. Medlock are still here. Along with a few of the older maids, but that is it." he said as Winston had led her inside after taking her suitcase she was carrying. "What has everything been like without me?" she asked softly.
"Lonely." he said. "I could say the same about my experience. It was literally hell, I barely survived it. I had only a 5% chance of living until Bruce's friend Lucius Fox had his own friends find me and Bruce made sure I got the best medical care I could to keep me alive. I got healthy and then I came back to Gotham and I've been living with Bruce for a while..." she trailed off as she looked down at the floor.
"Then why didn't you stay? You were always happiest when you were with Bruce." Winston said. She smiled softly. "Do you remember Rachel Dawes?" she asked. "Oh yes...yes I do." Winston said as he reached her room.
"She threatened my life if I didn't leave Bruce. We became a couple whenever I came back and I love him so much, but I don't want anyone coming after me, and just in case someone does come after me I had to leave. I want Bruce to be safe. As safe as he can be in this city." she said, keeping her promise to keep Bruce's secret.
"Why didn't you fight? You must never run from anything when it involves the person you love." Winston said. "I did fight. I simply outwitted her and that's why she threatened me." she said. "Oh come on, Genevieve. If you were the girl you once were, you would have punched her square in the nose." Winston said and Lily smiled. "I should have, but I thought that would only put myself in danger quicker. Right now I believe I need to rest and think a lot of things over." she said.
"I understand, Miss Lily. Have a good rest." he said before the two friends hugged once more and Winston left Lily to her old room. They had replaced her bed from when she was kidnapped with one that was more for a woman her age. Other than that, the room hadn't changed at all.
The walls were still a light red, almost a pink, and the pictures were all of her and Bruce from when they were babies, to the last picture they ever took together. Lily smiled sadly as she unpacked her suitcase, not taking her eyes off of the pictures until she started putting her clothes away and she found her clothes she had left in her drawers and the closet still. She was surprised as she looked around at all the clothes she had worn when she was younger.
Lily smiled sadly as she put her suitcase down as she kept her clothes in the suitcase for now. She sighed softly before she turned off the light switch and took her shoes off before she got into bed after changing into some of her sleep clothes as she closed her eyes, her dreams full of nothing but Bruce.
That Night...
It was around midnight or one 'o clock when Lily finally woke up after a restful sleep. She sat up in the bed with a sigh as she looked around her darkened room. She noticed that the window of her room was open as the soft night breeze swayed the thin curtains. Lily was going to get out of the bed before she noticed a figure in the chair. She looked closer.
The figure was Bruce. He was asleep in the chair by her bed. The very same chair her mother would sit in as he read her a story before bed. Whenever she thought she had grown out of that though, Lily still kept the chair where it was. She smiled as she saw Bruce, but she hoped he was alright from his mission in Hong Kong.
"Brucey?" Lily asked as she reached out for his hand. "Why did you leave." he said, instead of asking, as he instantly woke up as he heard her.
"Rachel...she threatened me." she said with a sigh. "I basically told her to go to hell and she threatened that she could bring hell back into my life if I didn't leave you." Lily felt her tears starting to roll down her cheeks again. "You have no idea how much I didn't want to leave, but I also didn't want you in any danger. You have enough to deal with as it is." she said as she took his hand in hers.
"I don't care..." He said softly. "Rachel has been taken care of."
"Really? What did you do to her?" she asked as she sat up in bed a little more. "Let's just say..." He said as his voice morphed into that of Batman's. "She knows not to cross me."
"Bruce..." Lily smiled as she jumped out of bed and wrapped her arms around his neck as she got on his lap. "Take me home."
"But you are home? Aren't you?" He asked as he looked into her eyes. She looked at him and smiled. "This used to be my home." she shook her head as she looked around the room, teary-eyed before she looked back at him. "Not anymore. My home is with you Bruce Wayne. Where ever you are, I am." she said. "But, at the moment, seeing as I am in your lap. Yes, I am home." she said as she smiled at him, not able to hide her tears.
"Don't leave me again." He begged her. "Never again." she promised. "I should've known I was safe with you, all I had to do was tell you. I didn't even think of that until I woke up and saw you. Do you want to spend the night here though, sweetheart? You look tired..." she looked down. "And you didn't even change into more comfortable clothes?" she asked as she saw him still in his Batman gear. All except for his cowl which she just now noticed was on her dresser across the room.
"I came straight here. Needless to say, I think Winston now knows. But then again, he's always had a hunch." he said. "Really?" she asked as she got more comfortable on his lap. "Yes." His armored arms wrapped around her, holding her close to him.
Lily smiled as she rested her head against his neck as she kissed his skin. "We haven't been apart for even two days and I already missed you. I doubt we've been apart for even 24 hours." she said.
"No, we haven't." he said as he laid his head on top of hers. I want to come home to her every day. Damn you Rachel for almost taking that from me., he thought.
She smiled as she held on to him. "Bruce Thomas Wayne, I can't stand this. You can't be comfortable in that." she said as she got off of his lap and knelt down to her suitcase as she got some of his clothes out. "I had to take some of your sleep clothes. I had to have something to remember you by...even though I pretty much knew two things. One. You would come after me. or Two. I would come to my senses eventually and go back to you even if it did cost me my life." she said with a smile as she held out his clothes to him.
Smartass woman., He thought as he inwardly smiled, he was too tired on the outside to smile for real. "Thanks." He stood up from the chair and started removing his armor. "You're welcome. Oh. Nice smile by the way." she said before she crawled back into bed and watched him change. Mmm, I have to be the stupidest woman on this earth to have left him., she thought.
He got the main part of the armor off before he began cracking his back, neck, and joints.
Lily smiled as she got out of bed again as she started to massage Bruce's back for him. First starting with the back of his neck.
He sighed heavily before he pulled away briefly. He removed the rest of his Bat Gear and then put on his pajama pants he always slept in. Then he crawled onto the bed and laid on his stomach.
Lily smiled. "Well someone's ready for his massage. I should do this every night you come home after your moonlighting." she said as she climbed on his back as she massaged the back of his neck again, her fingers subtly playing with his hair while she massaged.
She then straddled his hips as she kept massaging his back. "Could you?"
"I'd love to, baby." she said as she worked on the start of his back, running her hands along his entire back soothingly before she worked on his shoulder blades. She felt all the knots...no scratch that...boulders in his muscles. "My God, Bruce Thomas Wayne, what is it you do out there?" she asked.
"Mmmmmmm," He moaned softly as she continued. I'd even pay her if she wanted., he thought.
"I get beat up and or just get strained." he said. "Baby, I hope you don't plan on this as a second career choice. It's not good on your body." she said as she kissed his back in the sensitive place in the middle before she started working her way down his back again.
"It's not for forever." Bruce said. "Good. Because I would like you to retire from this whenever it's possible for you, my love." she said before she got to the end of his back as she massaged through all of the boulders that were there as well. My poor Brucey. Why does he put himself through this?, she thought as she looked down at her brave boyfriend.
"Mmmmm." He grunted as he started falling asleep. "I'll take that as an 'ok'." she said with a soft giggle before she was finished working out every knot he had before she kissed his back from the bottom up as she kissed his most sensitive spot on his neck as she whispered to him. "I love you, Brucey."
"Love you...too..." he said slowly. Lily smiled before she got off of Bruce's back as she laid next to him. She brushed some of the hair out of his face as she kissed his temple. "Good night, my Batman." she whispered before she closed her eyes and snuggled up with him. His arms went around her as he fell asleep. "Night, my Lily." he said softly. She smiled up at him before she held him as her own eyes closed.
