Sorry—that one word was the biggest lie Diana had ever told. She would never be sorry for what had just transpired. She could still taste him on her lips. She couldn't get the kiss out of her mind. The way his lips brushed against her was forever embedded in her memory. Somehow this kiss was different from all the rest. She had finally expressed her feelings for Bruce in public, and she knew Bruce was not one for public displays of affection.
Bruce Wayne was a billionaire playboy. He had had many women in his life. He usually had four on his arms at once. She'd watched the news before. She had seen him kiss women in public before. She had felt anger rise within herself every time she had. He was seeing her, but he had an image to maintain. She'd tried to understand that. He had a family to protect. His identity was something he could not jeopardize.
So, she was waiting for it. He would yell at her for what she had just done. The news would say that Wonder Woman had a boyfriend, and eventually they would become suspicious of him being Batman. She would never do that to him. She could not endanger Alfred and Tim. Diana had already grown attached to them. So, she wouldn't be surprised in the least if Bruce ended it right here and now.
But, despite all the risks of this one kiss, she wasn't sorry. She'd wanted to do it for a long time. She wanted to publicly mark him as hers. She wanted him to only see her…to have eyes for only her. She was tired of being the woman he hid in his closet. So, his reaction to this kiss meant everything because maybe if he didn't except this, they weren't meant to be.
Diana felt relief flow through her as he smirked. She knew that he wasn't going to yell at her, "Don't be."
Diana felt more happiness within her than ever before. He wasn't ashamed of the kiss. He wanted her in his life, and he really didn't care what the media thought. Her apology might have been a lie, but she knew that Bruce spoke the truth.
