The Spell
Dedicated to an unadulterated special love!
Oregan: Ecola State Park
Superman was currently facing off against Montari, Lord of an unknown dimension.
With a grunt, Montari lashed out at Superman, but he avoided his attack.
"You're quick, Kryptonian. Though, I am far superior."
Superman shrugged. "We'll see about that."
Montari had powers which allowed him the ability of insanely fast speed, and manifest blades from his hands. But not just any blades, they were full-fledged massive swords that were so powerful that they shook the earth every time they were brandished. With another grunt, Montari made the heavens split, and thunder and lightning crashed around, destroying the ground around him.
Wonder Woman, Shazam, Aquaman, Mera , and Flash were running their own racket fighting Montari's minions. Wonder Woman attacked Montari to help Superman.
"Astounding swordsmanship, Wonder Woman. But there are still imperfections needed to be perfected."
With a swipe of his hand, he narrowly missed the airborne Superman and Wonder Woman.
"I will take the Amazon as my new bride," he smirked. "You are quite the perfect courtesan. With you by my side to conquer many world, I will be even more envied by all!"
Wonder Woman looked at him with disgusted.
"I be damned if I let you touch her!" Superman shouted back over the storm, enraged with his eyes flaming red.
"Oh? Is she yours? All the more worth the taking."
Superman angrily lunged at Montari only to be stabbed in his shoulder.
"Ah!"
"Superman!" Wonder Woman yelled.
"I got it! Stay back!" He yelled back using his heat vision to blast Montari in his face then punch him as hard as he could sending him flying into a boulder.
Wonder Woman flew to Superman.
"Kal, are you okay?"
He looked at her and smiled. "Yeah, I will be. It doesn't feel as bad as it looks. Let's finish this."
She nodded slightly.
"Die, Kryptonian!" Montari charged at Superman.
Using her lasso, Wonder Woman yanked Montari toward her and kicking him down back to the ground.
"Something's happening!" Shazam said.
Almost instantly the storm wavered as a portal was opening.
"What the hell is that?!"
Together, Superman and Wonder Woman smashed their fists into Montari's chest, causing him to grunt in pain and float back a few feet.
Green Lantern created a shield around the other leaguers as the minions were being sucked into the portal.
"What about Supes and Wondy?"
"They'll be fine."
"No!" Montari tried to hold on to the boulder to not get sucked into the portal.
"Looks like you're time is up, failed lord," Diana smirked as she and Superman was holding onto her lasso.
"You wench! I will kill the Kryptonian, you will be mine and you will obey!"
"Diana, don't listen to him!" Kal said. "That enough of you! Don't you ever disrespect her again!"
Using his heat vision once again, he blasted Montari into the portal.
"Kal! My lasso! It won't hold much longer!"
He wrapped his arm around her waist. "I'm not letting you go. We'll be okay."
Diana nodded.
Her lasso loosened, Kal held onto her as tight as he could as they were sucked into the portal and in an instant it was closed.
"It's done?" Arthur questioned.
"Wow...what a mess..." Barry said.
"Where is Clark and Diana?" Mera asked looking around.
Billy flew up to scan the area.
"Yo, Vic? Vic?"
"Vic here."
"We need Big Blue and Wondy's locations."
"...uh...I'm not picking up anything?"
"Dude! I thought you said they would be alright!" Billy said flying down and shoved Hal.
"Hey! Hey! Calm down, kid! They'll be fine...wherever they are."
An Unknown Dark Realm
Diana groaned as she was waking up.
"Oh Gods..." she said feeling a bit nauseous and her head spinning.
She then felt movement beneath her and heard a deep groan.
"Di...Diana...?"
She gasped looking down to see she was on top of Kal. Kal was staring up at her in shock, his body was reacting instantly.
Diana gasped and blushed feeling his apparent erection.
"Oh Kal! I'm so sorry!"
She quickly got off of him as he sat up slowly.
"No, no...you're okay." He cupped her cheek. "Aren't you?" He asked looking into her eyes.
She nodded. "Your arm?"
"Healing slowly but surely." He looked around and saw that they were in a candle lit bedroom. "Where are we?"
"I'm not sure."
The large bedroom doors then opened. An older woman stood with a gracious smile. She had long flowing brown hair and hazel eyes. Though she wear a gown that was practically see through leaving nothing to the imagination.
"Ah, you are now awake. Empress will see you now. Follow me."
"Who are you?" Kal questioned with a frown.
"I am Juri. Please follow me."
Kal and Diana looked at each other, skeptical.
"No need to hesitate any longer, Kal-El, Diana. Empress has been awaiting for your arrival for quite some time."
Kal grabbed Diana's hand as they got up from the bed.
"Stay close to me," he whispered to her.
"I've got your back just as much as you have mine."
Juri smirked. "Cute," she said to herself.
Kal and Diana looked around. The walls covered with weaponry, ancient war paintings, and other abstract otherworldly things.
"Empress has some changes to make with this grand castle to be more pleasing. The previous occupant had such dreaded taste."
The large doors to the throne room opened.
To their surprise, the throne room was quite lavish, fit for an Empress. Large torches lit, all gold walls and floors with a long red velvet carpet that led up to the golden stair case and to her chair. Yet there was still a very dark aura around.
Juri bowed. "Empress Valeria, I present your very special guest, Kal-El of Krypton and Diana of Themyscira."
Valéria stood up from her chair. Auburn color hair, hazel eyes, and pale ivory skin. She wore a black leather bralette set featuring a multi-strapped neckline, spaghetti straps with O-ring accents, a cut-out back band with a hook and eye closure, a high waisted strappy garter belt with O-ring accents, adjustable garters, and a matching panty with cut-out panels and a thong cut back with gloves and thigh highs stiletto boots.
"Welcome, Diana, Kal-El. I am sure you are wondering why you are here."
Neither could utter a word.
"As my lovely confident, Juri, introduced, I am Valéria, once wife of Emperor Claudius."
"Emperor Claudius? You are Valéria Messalina?" Diana questioned.
"Yes, I am. You know of me, Princess of Themyscira?"
"I've been told tales."
"And what have you been told about me?"
"Lots of men perished of sudden death in a very peculiar way. But not just any men...the rich and powerful. It just so happen to be after sexual intercourse."
Kal looked at Diana surprised. "Wait a minute. Diana, are you saying she's-"
Valéria smiled. "Ah, yes, Kal-El.." Her bat wings, barbed tail and curled horns appeared. "A succubus."
Succubi have plagued men since Ancient Rome. Succubi are not the she-demons to be underestimated, powerful seductresses who loves nothing more than to toy with men, tantalizing them with their words as much as their bodies. They can be domineering and vengeful if they are slighted. Their cruel beauty has led emperors to commit the worst sins, feeding on the souls of these powerful men.
"What do you want from us?!"
"I wanted to finally properly thank you two for your help."
"Thank us...? For our help...?" Diana questioned.
"You see, the spell of my imprisonment was broken some time ago. I needed rejuvenation and shelter. By fate, I stumbled upon this castle. I played the role of the lost maiden waiting for my chance with the lord of this castle." Valéria flew to Kal and Diana. She observed and touched them...slowly...seductively. "I see now. Montari chose well."
A frail man, chained, came from the shadows.
Diana gasped. "Montari?! You drained him?"
"Weeks he planned for his attack on the mortal realm. The more he became motivated by his desires, the more I fed, though that wasn't enough. He had become much too tainted even for my tastes. So now he just serves as my lovely pet."
"And what do you want from us?"
"A deal. One that will benefit us all. I need to feed more but want something more dangerous yet pure. There has been something too powerful in the air, something strong, pure, that I never felt. Something that made me sick and hungry in every way."
Valeria casted a spell creating a magic circle upon the floor. Diana felt something on the back of her neck that sent a chill down her spine and rocked her to her core. She dropped to her knees as her body started to glow, her breathing was heavy and her heart rate escalating.
"Diana!" Kal couldn't move. It was as if his body was paralyzed. "What are you doing?! Stop!"
"Kal..." Diana breathed out slowly. Then let out an involuntary moan shocking herself and Kal.
She didn't know what was happening to her body. She felt flustered. Her skin becoming extremely tender.
"I've never experienced this level of power like the two of you." Valéria caressed Kal's cheek. "Look at her. Isn't she beautiful?"
"Stop! She's-"
"She's awakening her desire. Mental, emotional...even spiritual aphrodisiac effect. All her senses right now are very hypersensitive. All because of you, Kal-El. As both of you are connected."
"Wha-what do you mean?"
Diana sat back on her heels and threw her head back. She bit down on her lip, though, the biting doesn't help and the sensation is getting stronger.
Valeria made Kal sit on his knees in front of Diana.
"Look into her eyes, Kal-El. Don't you see? You both have deep desires that can no longer be restrained. No longer hidden away. Delicious..."
His own body naturally reacting to watching her.
Diana continued on with little breaths and moans, all the while her eyes locked with Kal's. The full force of the orgasm hit her hard. She whimpered before clamping her lips tight together to keep from saying anything further.
Diana doubled over, one hand on her left knee and the other wrapped around her middle, trying hard to keep her body from convulsing as tidal waves of unwanted pleasure ripped through her. A few moans escaped her mouth, despite desperately willing them not to, and to her horror she heard herself mutter his name twice, back to back.
Kal reached for her, touching her shoulder. Diana gasped as his simple touch made her reach an orgasm never seen before.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Oh the taste of such pleasure of pure passion!"
As Diana leaned forward, Kal caught her in his arms. Her body was still so sensitive to his touch. She was trembling. Kal took off his cape, placing it gently over her shoulders.
She buried her head into his chest, unable to look him in the eyes, panting.
"Diana..."
He held her tighter as her body came down from its unintended high.
"I think she did overexert herself a bit but that was glorious..."
Kal looked up at Valeria with rage in his red glowing eyes.
"You exploiting her is glorious?!"
"Oh, Kal-El, you innocent man...I've given you...both of you, exactly what you wanted."
"Whatever you did to her. Don't ever do it again."
Valéria smirked. "It's out of my control now."
Kal narrowed his eyes. "What the hell do you mean, it's out of your control?!"
"It seems I have unlocked and activated something so much more extraordinary. Only you two have the control now. It's up to you to find your way."
"Way to what?"
Kal stood up carrying Diana. She had fallen asleep from exhaustion.
"She's in no pain, Kal-El. Only pleasure. Pleasure you gave her. Don't resist."
A portal opened.
"Time to go home, Kal-El. Until next time, which is very very soon."
"We aren't your play things like Montari has become."
"Oh no, of course not. You are much more valuable."
"Stay away from us," Kal warned as he flew through the portal.
Kal had made it through the portal back to Ecola State Park. At the moment, his mind was all over the place and Diana was still asleep.
He didn't want to go anywhere near the League right now, especially with what had just accord. He and Diana needed time for themselves to talk.
He decided the best place for them to be alone was the Fortress of Solitude.
Fortress of Solitude
Kal gently laid Diana down on his bed. It was massive, as if two king sized beds were combined.
"Woof!" Krypto, Kal's alien dire would hound barked.
Kal quickly hoisted the dire wolf up and flew out of the room.
"Hey buddy. You have to be quiet for Diana. She's resting."
Krypto wimpered in worry for Diana.
"She's alright. Just-" He paused as flashes came to his mind. "She's just tired."
Kal got Krypto two frozen steaks, letting him heat it himself and tried to keep himself occupied until Diana woke up.
Sitting in his observatory, Kal all of a sudden winced feeling something burning on the back of his neck.
"What the hell?"
He could hear Diana's voice again in his mind. Moaning and calling out his name. More flashes more distinctive races through his mind.
"No, I...can't..."
He could feel his body once again reacting.
"Listen to her Kal-El."
"Get out of my head!"
"Listen to her heartbeat. The sound of her voice. You want her."
"Stop it. I won't indulge in your sick mind games."
"You want to show her you can be the man to give her the love and pleasure she deserves. That no other can nor ever will give her."
"I...no...this is..."
He leaned back into his chair, doing his best to calm the fire that was raging through his blood. He was already hard. He flung an arm across his face.
"Dammit!" Kal thought to himself, hoping to distract his body with something decidedly unsexy.
Deadlines...Work...Kryptonite...
He took a deep breath finally calming himself down.
"What the hell did she do to us? This isn't how it should be..."
Kal could hear Diana waking up. He quickly flew back to the room to be by her side.
Diana's eyes fluttered open. She gasped and sat up abruptly not recognizing the figure above her at first.
"Diana? Di...it's okay. It's just me."
"Kal?"
"Yeah...?"
"Where? We're in the fortress?"
"I didn't want to take you to the Tower if there would be any questions and I didn't want to wake you with going to your place. The fortress was the best option."
"How long have I been asleep?"
"About 3 hours maybe."
"Oh..."
There was a moment of awkward silence and tension was heavy between them.
"Diana."
"Kal."
They both called each other's names at the same time only to end up feeling so much more awkward. They tried to take a moment to let the other speak, but it wasn't working out.
"Umm sorry. You go first," Kal said.
"Well..." Diana tried to talk but all of a sudden, couldn't find the words.
"We don't have to talk about it now or just not at all."
"No...I...we have to." Diana sighed. "Kal, I've never been vulnerable with anyone before. Even unwillingly, to show that side of myself...I'm glad that it was you I was with."
"Diana, that's all I want to hear is that you still trust me, feel comfortable with me, and what we experienced won't make things awkward between us."
"Of course I still trust you. There's no questioning that ever. You're my best friend, Kal."
"Best friends...of course..."
"I hope that whatever trick Valéria played won't happen again. We aren't sex toys."
Kal raised his eye brows. "Yeah, that's...that's what she wanted us to be."
Another moment of silence.
"Thank you, Kal, for being so kind. I should go. You need just as much rest." Diana got up from the bed. "Your bed is quite comfortable and very soft."
"Oh...I'm glad you were comfortable..." Kal nervously cleared his throat.
"Woof! Woof!" Krypto barked happily flying toward Diana.
"No! Krypto! Down!"
Diana giggled as Krypto flew into her arms.
"Hello, fluffy boy! How are you?"
Kal shook his head. "Diana, you are only making it worse babying him."
"Oh, Kal, he is adorable. I can't help it."
Diana patted Krypto on his head. "I'm sorry, Krypto, but I have to go now."
Krypto whimpered as if pleading for Diana not to go.
"See, now you've done it. Spoiled him to a point of being a giant puppy."
Diana laughed softly.
Krypto then curdled himself on the bed. Diana smiled patting his head softly again.
"Bye Krypto...Kal."
Kal was a bit hesitant but then grabbed Diana's hand. He pulled her closer into an embrace. Diana tensed up a bit surprised but then relaxed into his embrace, wrapping her arms around his neck. She let out a soft sigh closing her eyes.
The feel of each others body, so warm. Diana was enjoying being held close to him. It was as if the two were in their own little world.
Slowly pulling away, Kal kissed her forehead.
"We'll talk later."
Diana nodded and reached up to place a soft kiss on his cheek.
Kal watched her as she flew off.
Valéria's Castle
Valeria crossed her legs and leaned back sitting on her throne as she sipped wine.
"Are you going to continue to pout? Or thank me for moving things along?"
Eros, the God of Love, pulled out his gun and pointed it directly in the center of Valeria's forehead.
"You dare play with the emotions of my cousin and the Kryptonian? You do not know of the power of their connection."
"Calm down, loverboy, I know exactly the power it holds. That's why I want it. But I won't be too greedy. This is much too pure...too sacred. However..."
"However, what?" Eros glared.
"They weren't quite ready for their truth to be revealed. I unlocked so much more than intended."
"And? What does that mean, you conniving succubus?!"
"Well...given that I am who I am as a succubus, I unlocked the power with my own, of course, and with mine intertwined..."
"Succubus aphrodisiac effect. You will taint them!"
"No. If they continue to resist, it will be tainted. If they act upon only lust and temptation, it will be tainted. Though, I believe the lovers will find their way. It will be a very pleasurable journey."
Eros sighed. "I warn you now. If this union is destroyed because of your lewd antics, you will have to answer to the Gods."
Valeria smirked. "Relax, Eros. Why don't you stay for just a little while longer with me and the others?"
"I don't think so." Eros quickly disappeared.
Valeria shrugged. "You're lose...my gain."
London: Diana Prince's condominium
It's late. Diana was still so tired, and she needed more sleep. But for some reason or another, she couldn't.
She turned on the shower water, undressed and glance at herself in the mirror. She sighed. She shouldn't think of him nor what occurred.
She sighed again as she stepped into the steaming hot shower. She ran her hands from her breasts down her bare skinned voluptuous figure to her inner thighs and rubbed on them slowly. She then reached out with her right hand and picked up a nearby bottle of body wash and slowly poured out the sweet smelling liquid all over herself. It ran and dripped down every inch of her beautiful sexy body from her head to her toes.
"Gods..." she gasped as she felt the same sensation from before on the back of her neck.
Her body instantly started to react as she said his name.
"Kal...No...I...shouldn't."
She closed her eyes and let out a moan as her body became hypersensitive to the feel of the water.
"Stop...Get out of my head!"
Thoughts of him flooded her mind and a hot flush spread upon her cheeks that made her bite her lip.
"Princess Diana, give in to your desire. Feel his touch. Listen to his voice."
She reveled in the sudden memory of his touch. How he held her so closely, so tight. The feel of his warm strong body so protective.
"Don't resist..."
Diana groaned, teetering on the edge of her climax.
Her heart was pounding and she was breathing hard.
"Say his name."
"I...oh...Gods..."
"Call for him, Diana."
"No...I..." she gasped. "Kal!"
Back at the fortress, Kal was lying in bed. He couldn't help but to revel in the lingering scent of Diana on his pillow. The smell of exotic grapefruit and sea salt.
"KAL!"
His eyes shot open to her voice. "Diana?" He questioned looking around but she wasn't there at all. He sighed and shook his head. "It's all in my mind."
He got up to take a cold shower.
"Say her name."
"Say his name."
Even with the water on the coldest temperature of -55 degrees, it wasn't enough. His hands pressed firmly against the shower wall with the water running down his back. The icily sensation should be numbing him emotionally, waking him mentally, and punishing him physically but it wasn't working. He could still hear her voice, smell her scent and feel her soft curvaceous body.
Without a coherent thought, he groaned inwardly even as he stood motionless.
"Diana..."
"Kal-El..."
She could feel wave after wave of wondrous sensual pleasure moving up her spine and explode inside her mind like a thousand tiny fire crackers!
"Ahh!" The alluring naked Goddess cried out.
Diana stood there for a few minutes under the warm spray of the shower coming down from her high.
She then turned off the shower and stepped out through its glass door and wrapped a large soft red towel around herself. She was still dripping wet and all hot and steamy from her shower.
After drying herself off completely, Diana left her towel on the edge of her bed and slip under her sheets still completely naked. She curled her body, holding her pillow close.
Kal laid on his bed with his towel still wrapped around him. She's still there. No matter what he tried to do, he was consumed in the thoughts and feeling of Diana.
Being best friends and colleagues, knowing the risk they'd be taking if they did try to get involved with one another, Kal and Diana really thought they were adept at controlling and ignoring those feelings. They'd managed to do just that for so long now. So impossibly long, much longer than humanly possible, in fact. But then again, they were anything but human. However, no one, not even super powered beings as strong willed as Kal and Diana could fully resist their temptation for one another. It has always lingered, playing at the back of their mind, teasing and taunting and oh so sinfully seductive that no matter how hard they tried to resist, the craving and pure need never failed to overwhelmed them completely.
That familiar burning ache twisted through their veins, blood alight with fire so overpowering and intense that their hands shook uncontrollably, piercing eyes dilated. Never had they felt the craving take hold with such power. They had to gain control back.
Following Day: WatchTower
Kal and Diana sat face to face in the briefing room with the other members. After dodging questions about where they ended up and what happened after they were sucked into the portal.
"We can assure, Montari is no longer a threat," Diana said.
"Great...but how did you guys get out?"
"There was a woman. She didn't give us much detail of who she was but she knew who we were and let us come home," Kal said trying to sound convincing.
Batman narrowed his eyes a bit skeptical.
"Well that was...convenient I guess. Glad you guys are back!" Shazam said.
"Moving on..." Batman said.
Kal and Diana were barely paying attention to what was being said only focused on each other.
It was such a dangerous temptation, and it was a little more than torturing for them. Soon, they'd have to avert their gaze soon, or move away. There was only so much visual stimulation they could take before falling prey to triggering their urges.
Diana could feel the sensation brewing yet again. She crossed her legs and let out a quiet sigh, rubbing her neck. Kal watched her every move. To trace his tongue over the warm skin, feel the heartbeat beneath his lips, to bite down hard and drink her.
Diana caught sight of Kal as his mouth parted almost unwillingly and his tongue darting out to wet his bottom lip. Gods, he was so sexy, sitting there. The muscles in his arm, flexing so deliciously. She can just imagine other muscles flexing under his suit.
After the meeting, Kal and Diana stayed behind.
"Do you have a moment for us to talk, Diana?"
"Yes."
Kal's feet moved before he even realised what he was doing, blinded by the haze of pure undiluted yearning his entire body felt, drawn to the luxurious woman standing on the other side of the table like a moth to flame. He was completely powerless when it came to Diana, his ocean blue eyes now an unearthly shade of electric blue, glinting viciously. Diana can hear his breathing getting heavier.
"What's wrong, Kal?" Diana asked with a worried look.
Kal lurched to a halt directly in front of her, his gaze hungrily roamed over every single tiny detail of her face. Her beautiful red luscious lips, piercing cerulean blue eyes, her expression so innocent, sweet, sexy and seductive all at once.
This was like going through a drug withdrawal! He needed her, craved her more than the air he was breathing, his skin crawling as the lust and thirst pumped around his system with every beat of his heart. She smelled delicious of a lavender and jasmine soft scent.
With one trembling hand, Kal reached out and smoothed his fingers gently through her long soft raven hair, relishing in the feeling of being wrapped around his fingers. One side of his mouth quirked upwards into a small indulgent smile as he ran his hand down the side of Diana's face, his fingertips ghosting over her soft flesh. A gentle sigh left Diana's lips before she could restrain it.
"When you left from the fortress last night I...I couldn't stop thinking about what happened. Not in a weird...way...but I just..." he sighed. "I'm sorry, Di. I just want to make sure you are okay. That we are okay."
She can hear his breathing getting heavier.
"No need to apologize, Kal. I couldn't stop thinking about it either. That wasn't the kind of experience we could have ever expected. It's going to take some time for both of us to understand and get over this...feeling."
"That's...that's all I wanted to tell you and to know from you. Like I said last night, I don't want things awkward between us."
"It's not and it won't be," she smiled reassuringly. "We have a lot of work to get back to. Maybe it'll help move our minds away from all of this."
"Right...yeah..."
Diana frowned slightly seeing Kal's expression changed to what seemed to be a little disappointment?
"Is there something else bothering you?" She asked.
"Um... no...no."
She cupped his cheek. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah...yeah..."
Diana smiled and kissed his cheek.
Kal sighed and hugged her into his strong warm body.
Diana pushed herself more against him and his arms tightened around her. Her eyes widen a bit in surprise, noticing that she could feel something hard against her. Oh gods, she knew exactly just what it was.
There's that urge again tempting to get her to lose control. They should let go. But for some reason, they couldn't. Not just yet.
Kal let out a very low groan as Diana moved a bit as if intentionally grinding on him. She lifted her head from his shoulder to look at him. His eyes are hooded and his lips parted. He looks so incredibly sexy right now.
Suddenly they both jumped slightly to the sound of someone clearing their throat loudly. They turned their heads to the direction of the door to see Batman.
They pulled away from their embrace, blushing.
"Bruce?" Kal questioned.
"If you two can take a moment from your tryst...need to speak with Clark?
Diana rolled her eyes and shook her head. "No need for the stand-offish attitude, Bruce."
"Hm."
Diana raised her brow and sighed. She then turned back to Kal.
"We can catch back up later, ok?"
"Ok."
Diana smiled and kissed his cheek again.
Kal couldn't take his eyes off of her as she walked out of the room and he still stared at the door even when it closed.
"Clark? Clark!"
"What? What is it, Bruce?" he asked annoyed.
"You and Diana have been acting odd all day. What happened? Where were you two? I find it very hard to believe you two got back so easily."
Kal sighed. "All that matters is that we are back. Everything else is between me and Diana."
Bruce narrowed his eyes. "What are you hiding, Clark?"
"Nothing, Bruce! Dammit! Would you just drop it?!"
"Not when it could possibly effect the team, No."
"Well it's not. Like I said, it's between me and Diana."
"And what is between you and Diana?"
Kal gave him an irritated look then sighed. "Bruce, you know how I feel about Diana and you know how complicated it is."
"That's why you shouldn't be crossing the line."
"We haven't. But even if we did, it would be our choice. We are focused on our missions, Bruce. That doesn't mean we can't have a life outside of all of this. I don't know if Diana and I will ever be more than friends. I want to be and I know the risks. I'm willing to take my chances with her."
Bruce was silent.
"It doesn't matter anyway. It would ultimately be of Diana's choice and how she feels."
"You two need to work whatever this is out."
"There's nothing to work out. Diana and I have our priorities." Kal paused for a moment. "Your priority is Gotham. You're needed back now. Something's happening at the docks. Sal Maroni."
Bruce narrowed his eyes again as Kal walked out.
"That's all this is. Playing on our emotions but it can never be anything else," Kal said to himself.
As like last night, home alone, Kal and Diana tried not to give into the effect. The back of their necks burning, their minds racing, their entire bodies reacting to the overwhelming sexual craving.
