(Chloe's POV)
The next morning, I woke up with a sore ass and satisfied libido. J was extremely pissed after coming home, seeing me standing there ready to depart with no clue of where I would be going or what I'd even do when I got there. I recall his words to me last night as I lay my head across his bare chest.
"What were you going to do when you, assumingly, found me?" I couldn't tell if he was annoyed or more amused at this point.
"I really don't know." I admit defeat, knowing that it was exactly what it looked like – a dumb idea.
Suddenly I'm feeling alone because he shifts and moves off the bed, throwing a black silk bathrobe around him. "Get some sleep, we start tomorrow." And before I get the chance to ask he leaves the room.
I take a sip of the white crisp wine I had poured myself before I sank my sore body into a well-deserved bubble bath in the garden tub. Oh, he wasn't kidding about needing some sleep. The last week was consumed with multiple tasks in various rooms in the underground basement. Day one, we started in a longer room with an overly sized gun safe that held various types of automatic weapons and hand-held shotguns. He taught me how to shoot, which I have to admit, was my favorite part of the sudden training course he had me going through.
"Doll face, like this." He scoots himself behind me and presses his chest against my back, taking my arms with his hands he positions me properly to stand and hold a gun steady. "Slowly, breathe. Keep your eye on your target."
I take his instruction as he whispers in my ear, "Pull the trigger slowly and wait for the release. Don't let it scare you." His whispers are encouraging, I steady my body and pull my finger against the cold trigger as instructed. His arms are suddenly gone and he's allowing me to stand firm by myself. I continue to pull the trigger back and feel the kick of the handgun he gave me, not flinching, I watch the bullet pierce through the dummy target where I aimed. I feel the adrenaline of my success and nearly squeal with happiness.
"That'a girl!" Jokers clapping as he saunters towards me, his smile is radiating, "Let's see how good you do with this…" and the shooting range training continues.
I rub my wrists under the hot water in the tub, gently massaging them. Shooting guns is definitely my favorite and it's the one I'm best at. J seemed so proud of me when I succeeded in task after task he gave me. Even going as far to saying I'm a "natural". I shift my body in the tub and feel a twinge on pain in my side, reminding me of today, where I wasn't so successful.
"Again!" Joker's frustrated voice growls, and I stand up from the wrestling mat. Johnny looks at me slightly apologetic, him being my opponent.
"J," My voice laced with frustration as well, "I can't take him down, he's huge compared to me!"
He shakes his head, running his fingers through his hair. As frustrated as I am he's still damn sexy, he's only wearing his Arkham sweatpants. No shirt. No shoes. I'd be willing to give him service anytime. I crack a grin at my internal thoughts, losing focus of the moment I'm in.
"Something amusing Chlo?" His voice brings me back to the present and I shrug.
"Just the thought of you, no shirt, no shoes, but I'd still serve you anytime." I candidly open up my thoughts to him and his face shifts from annoyed to amused.
He gestures at Johnny and he retreats from the mat, grabbing a towel to wipe his forehead off. J walks up to me, grabbing my hips and pulling my body as close to him as physically possibly.
"Your enemies are going to always be bigger than you, Chloe." His eyes and tone are serious, "Again." And he takes a few steps back. It takes me a moment to realize I'm about to hand to hand combat with him. My stomach knots but I take the stance he taught me. I don't wait for him to give me a go ahead, instead I charge at him ready to punch. He swiftly dodges my punches and takes my legs from under me, I land on my back hard. Not waiting, I roll and am back on my feet tracking his moves. I duck out of the way for the blow he was going to deliver. I try to take him down with my feet to pin him but am quickly thrusted upward and thrown back down, landing on my side this time.
"You have to watch your enemy, baby." His voice is coaching, I get to my feet and ready myself. "Again."
I smile to myself as I unplug the bathtub, the now not-so-hot water draining away. The soothing bath was enjoyable and relaxing. I wrap a towel around myself and head towards the mirror to dry my hair. I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and I admire myself for the first time in years. A more confident woman is standing there and it's thanks to one very specific person. Butterflies travel throughout my body and I can't help the smile that spreads across my face. I begin to towel dry my hair and spot my shorter nails now. I had to trim them up since I started the training course, especially with the wall. This one is less enjoyable but manageable, at least Joker was happier with this task than the hand to hand combat.
"You have a fucking military styled jungle gym course." I say, marveled at the fact that he has all of this set up in another basement room. There is a climbing wall, wires on the ground I'm assuming people crawl under, the tires, and even a few logs to jump from.
"It's a good work out." He shrugs, "Get to it." He pats my ass a couple of times playfully before he retreats to the end of the course.
"You're kidding! Why can't we shoot guns again today?" I whine a little, missing the shooting range.
"We'll do that tomorrow, if you're good. Now hustle up butter cup!" He chuckles, and for a moment I feel like he's enjoying this a little too much. I begrudgingly walk to the start of the course and wait for his instruction. This was going to be another long day.
After my seventh time around the course I start to get used to it and begin to break my own timing records. The wall climbing is the most fun to go over, the adrenaline spike I get from climbing up it and rushing back down the other side is indescribable.
"Good girl." He says, tossing me a towel that I wipe away the beads of sweat from my face. "Keep this up and we'll have you trained in no time."
The excitement reels in my body, "You'll let me go with you places?"
He walks up to me, grabbing my ass he pulls me up his body. My legs wrap around his waist and he keeps me steady with his arms holding me up. My arms wrap around his neck and I stare into his striking blue eyes. "Doll face, when I know you're ready, you'll go everywhere with me." I instantly feel choked up, love fills my entire body and I can't help myself. I press my lips down onto his gently, running my fingers through his hair. In this man's arms, I am free.
I slip on one of J's t-shirts for bed. There is no point in underwear now-a-days, we've been at each other every night hardcore since I started training. He's already in bed, his eyes devouring every move that I make. I slowly pick up the towel from the floor where I had just dropped it, bending over just enough to display my backside to him and then bending over more so he can take a peak at my other happy spot. I throw the towel in the dirty clothes hamper and waltz over to the bed, crawling into the warm covers with him.
"You've been such a good girl, lately." He praises me immediately and my heart beams with delight. I have been trying so hard in the trainings he's been giving me and I'm so thankful for them too.
"Jack," I use his name privately and this time he doesn't even flinch, "I am so thankful for you. I couldn't do this without you. I feel so empowered, strong…"
He places a finger to my lips to stop me from finishing my thoughts and for a moment I'm scared I've upset him. He gently pushes me backwards on the bed, throwing the covers off us. He crawls over me and starts to place kisses and nibbles down my neck. He reaches down and pulls the shirt off me as well, throwing it across the room. "You might as well stop coming to bed with clothes." He whispers before he starts kissing across my chest, over my sensitive nipples. I arch my back as the pleasure hits me as his teeth grazes over my nipple before he takes it into his mouth and sucks – hard.
"Mmm…" A moan escapes me, and he continues to travel down my body. He blows gently on the apex of my pussy. I catch my breath in my throat as the tip of his tongue glides down from there towards my clit, where he swirls his tongue around and begins to make a rhythm. His full tongue grazing down towards my entrance and then back up to my clit, he suckles at it. His hands run down my sides, gently massaging my body as he continues his rhythm. My moans are escaping me variously. He's being so slow and gentle, and my heart nearly stops as his eyes flicker up and catches my own. Time stood still. He doesn't stop, just stares at me while he continues worshiping me. I can't break the eye contact, the intensity, the connection. I feel myself about to come undone.
"J, I can't… I can't hold back… I'm…" I'm so close, and I want to feel him. He pulls himself up and slides inside of me, pumping himself in and out. He cradles the back of my neck, we're forehead to forehead as we continue our dance. I arch my back, the pleasure spikes and I come undone beneath him. My insides clenching downward, tingles spreading throughout my entire body. He gasps as he feels my release but continues to move in the same manner, pumping in and out deliciously, never letting up.
"Come on, Chloe, cum for me again." He continues to build me again, never letting up. I take him by surprise, pushing him off of me and rolling him over so he's on his back. I'm on top of him in an instant, sliding back down onto him, I begin to roll my hips up and down his long cock.
"Fuck, baby!" He growls, grasping my sides he guides the pace. Riding him fast, up and down, I build myself back up quickly.
"I'm so close, please J please." I'm begging for another release and I stare down at him. His eyes piercing my own, we've never stared at each other like this before during sex. It's so erotic and so connecting. I want to be his. Only his. Does he want me the same? Up down. Up down. I can't contain it. I come undone again, harder than before.
"Cum for me, baby…" He growls, his eyes commanding.
"J!" I moan out and feel his own release spill inside of me. He guides me a couple of more times, rolling my hips more gently as we come down from our high. I collapse on the bed next to him and immediately pulls me close. Exhausted, I'm asleep within the minute.
"Can you toss me that water bottle?" Johnny breaks my thoughts and I smile at him, tossing him the bottle of water that was next to me. "Thanks."
"No problem." I say, bored. "Do you think J will let us go down to the basement today, for more shooting practice?" Excited just asking about it.
"You'll have to ask him but I think he's doing business tonight." He shrugs, taking a long drink of water.
"I need you to go pick up the shit from the P.O. Box," My ears perk at J's voice. He's coming down the stairs, followed by Emma. "Then get back to the house pronto, I have a business deal tonight and I need both of you there."
"You got it, Boss." Emma replies.
"Can I go with you tonight?" I ask J, catching his glance. He hesitates and I already know the answer. He saunters over towards me, smiling.
"Not tonight, you're not quite ready yet." He breaks it to me and I feel disappointment wash over.
"I'm just really bored, J. I love this house but I've been stuck in it for weeks now." I share my thoughts; his frown is my response.
"Emma." His voice is commanding but his eyes never leave my own.
"Yea, Boss?" She answers.
"Take Chloe to the P.O. Box with you. Pick her up a Starbucks or anything she wants on the way home." The smile spreads on my face, he's letting me out of the house and also wanting to treat me. I wrap my arms around him and hug him close to me, openly displaying my affection towards him. He returns the hug briefly and we pull apart.
"Bring me back something sweet." He winks at me, my heart flutters.
"You got it, J." I answer, blowing him a playful kiss before turning towards Emma ready to go.
I sit shotgun in the SUV while Emma drives down the long road. I really hope that the clothes have been delivered by now, I'm getting tired of wearing things that aren't fitted for me. Although today I was sporting a pair of J's sweatpants and a Batman t-shirt to match, except the Batman symbol has 'Ha Ha Ha' across it painted by J. Thankfully I did leave behind a pair of shoes at the house so I can wear my own at least.
The air in the car is thick, tense and awkward. Emma clearly still has issues with me and if there is ever a time to clear the air and start fresh, it's now.
"So." I start, my voice seemingly loud because of the silence around us. "Thanks for taking me with you." There, good ice breaker.
"Boss ordered me to." She shrugs it off, her voice monotone.
I try again, "Do you like living out here?"
"I'd live wherever Boss was." Same tone.
"Ok, but do you like it? The view? The trees?" I'm becoming annoyed at her short answers but this time, she doesn't even answer me.
"Look, what's your deal?" I ask, deciding that going around the bush wasn't going to help anything.
"I don't have a deal, Chloe." She's holding back her clear annoyance, closing her eyes briefly so she can roll them.
"Right. Ok." I shrug, "I just thought I'd try to clear the air since I'm clearly not just a toy that will be gone soon…" I throw her words back at her from a while ago when J and I were more fresh.
She turns into a parking lot for the post office in a town I don't recognize, we clearly steered away from Gotham. She pulls into a parking spot on the side of the building and turns to face me.
"Ok, here's the deal. Fine. You aren't a play toy, I get it." She's calm, but the tension is still rising, "Just stop pushing me." Her teeth start to grit slightly during her last sentence.
"I wasn't pushing you, as you put it. I was trying to make things less fucking awkward around you. You know, try to get to know you so it isn't like this forever." Her laugh stops me mid-sentence, and I'm taken aback.
"You still think you're in this forever, huh?" She continues to laugh, "You have no idea who he is! You've known him for 5 minutes compared to me!"
"So, you love him." The words are out of my mouth before I can stop them and for that brief second, I'm scared of what she'll say. What if she does love him? Would he ever return her feelings if he knew… she has known him so long compared to me. I would be a nobody standing next to her. Her fist slamming down on the steering wheel brings me back to reality. She thrusts her door open and exits, I follow. I guess I was right… and my gut twists in discomfort.
"Hey," I go to catch up with her but am suddenly pulled back hard against another body. My arms are grabbed and twisted behind my back, I begin to struggle and fight back instantly. My anxiety rises and the thoughts of training come to mind. I jolt my head back has hard as I can, crushing it against my opponent's face.
"Bitch!" The man growls, I get loose from his grasp. I run ahead and see Emma fighting with two other men in black suits. I turn back to face my own opponent when my hair is grabbed and I'm thrusted to the ground, hard, and then instantly yanked back up with my arms twisted again behind my back.
"Take her, go!" One of the men Emma is fighting with shouts before he dodges a hit from her and produces his own. I feel a pair of handcuffs crushing down on my wrists and I'm being dragged towards another vehicle.
Fight, you stupid fuck! My internal voice screams and I scream back, I AM! As I continue trying my best to wriggle out of his arms. Emma takes out her gun after avoiding a blow and gets the opening chance to shoot both men in suits down. My blood rushes cold as I see her turn away from me and instead starts to head towards the SUV we just came in. The man still dragging me the opposite direction towards a different SUV.
"Don't!" Is all I get out before a prickle is pushed deep into my neck and I fall into black unconsciousness.
(Emma's POV)
I rush towards the SUV to make a getaway; these agents came out of nowhere and there is no way in hell I'm going to disappear like the rest of them.
"Don't!" I hear her scream, and my instincts conflict. Leaving her, my problems would be gone. I would no longer struggle for… the thought comes crashing down on me. He wouldn't praise me, he'd blame me. I turn to go grab her, as much as I hate her, and see her being thrown into the back of an unmarked SUV. I rush towards it, gun drawn, as I shoot at the man rushing into the driver's seat dodging the bullets. I wait, he pulls out of the parking lot and I try to aim for the tires but miss.
My heart damn near stops. He's going to kill me. I step backwards and almost fall to my knees before I see a brown wallet laying on the ground. I swipe it up and open it. A classified government issued ID is in the front clear part of it, the man that drove away in a rush dropped it. I clutch the wallet close and rush towards the SUV.
The drive home is agonizing and sickening. Every piece of my body is rigid and scared, he's going to kill me and I know it. These are my last moments on this Earth, all because little miss prance around the house as J's toy couldn't keep herself at home today. Death shouldn't scare me, it never has before, but knowing he's going to kill me over losing her is going to be the worst kind of death.
I pull into the warehouse driveway, knowing that I can't go home just in case someone followed me and it isn't clear. I can't lead them to his house. I draw in a deep breath. How'd they even know I was there?
I get out my phone and send a quick text to Johnny.
'We were ambushed, waiting in warehouse B.' - sent
I was shocked to see Johnny, Joker, and a couple of the other boys pull up and walk into the warehouse. Normally after ambushes it's only a couple of guys, just in case we were followed. Joker is headed straight towards me, glancing around the warehouse.
"What happened?" He asks, still glancing around, I know he's looking for her and my stomach drops.
"We were ambushed by three agents." Johnny stays with Joker as the rest of the guys spread out to survey the warehouse and make sure we aren't being followed or watched. "They came from nowhere at the P.O. Box location. They attacked."
"Where is she?" Joker immediately asks, anxiety passes through his facial features and his jaw sets tightly.
"She… was taken." My voice is barely a whisper.
His reaction is immediate and harsh, the back of his hand making contact with my cheek so forcefully it thrusts my head to the side.
"Where the FUCK did they take her!" He screams, and I glance up, my eyes betray me. He knows I have no clue. He grabs my neck with his hand, throwing me to the ground, my back hits and my head bounces off the concrete floor. My head rushes with pain and I try to stay focused but it's so hard, my vision blurs. My eyes finally phase into focus and my heart implodes. I'm looking directly down the barrel of his purple steel magnum. My eyes reach up further to see his face, cold and filled with rage. His eyes hold no emotion for me, only hate.
My world crumbles around me as I have random flashes of my life. J's approving smile, his dealings with the underground, our time together, his laugh, my brothers banter, his encouragement, the good and bad times.
"Boss wait, I have this!" I grab the wallet from my pants pocket and hold it for him to see. He doesn't lower the gun, only nods at my brother to retrieve it. Loyally, he grabs the wallet from me and looks at it.
"It looks like one of the agent's wallets, Boss." Johnny answers his unspoken question.
The pain hits me instantly and I see blackness.
