CHAPTER 3

Two days had passed since I started staying with Bruce. My days have been pretty uneventful since Bruce would rarely let me out of his sight and he wouldn't let me leave. I was only alone when I slept, and I even had to bargain with him to get my own room, but I was thankful for his overprotective nature. Thankfully Bruce had many amenities in his glorious mansion, including a gym, pool, and library, so I always had a lot to do to preoccupy my mind. Bruce helped me avoid watching tv so I wouldn't see any new broadcasts the Joker could've possibly made, but tonight my curiosity has gotten the better of me. A little while ago I took a nice, hot shower, put on a silk nightgown, and got ready for bed. I was about to go upstairs to my room when Bruce stopped me.

"Are you sure you wouldn't want to just sleep in my room? I could be there to guard you just in case that psychopath tries breaking in here." he implored.

"As fun as sleeping with you would be, I'm going to decline." I chuckled, smiling at Bruce and lightly hugging him. As I hugged him he wrapped his arms tightly around me, almost refusing to let me go. He put his head on my shoulder and softly rubbed my back.

"I just don't want anything bad to happen to you. We both know how much I care about you. I'd be lost without you Jess. I don't want any chance of that clown stealing you from me."

Bruce and I both knew that his love for me was more than platonic, and I can't say that I don't feel the same way. Regardless of how much of a player he can be, Bruce is truly a remarkable man, especially because of his secret alias. I've known about Batman for years after accidentally stumbling across the Batcave when I stayed over Bruce's. He tried to explain his way out of it, but I'm not stupid. At least I'm good at keeping secrets. His heroic nature, compassion, intelligence, and good looks have always drawn me to him. We have been, involved, a couple times, but we haven't wanted to risk our friendship by evolving to something more. However, I think tonight I might have to forget about that fear…

You know what? I can wait until tomorrow to watch the news about the Joker. He's probably forgotten about me by now. Besides, there's no way he could know that I'm here.

"Actually I think I might join you tonight, since you asked me so nicely." I smiled, looking up at him before lightly kissing him then pulling away. "You always know how to make me feel more secure."

Joker's POV

For two days I had my top men checking Jessica's workplace, her friend's houses, her frequent hangout spots...but there was no sign of her anywhere. Her defiance of my simple rules is starting to become aggravating.

"Boss, if you're so keen on gettin' this girl, why didn't ya just get her when ya were in her apartment? Woulda saved us a lot of time." one of my goons complained.

"Yea, we been watchin' her for all this time, but ya don't get her! Why boss?" another man questioned, looking at me quizzically.

"The next person to question my reasoning is going to be carved up like a turkey, got it?" I growled, not in the mood to deal with their moronic complaints. Immediately all of the men shut up. "That's better. I want everyone to leave except Jason." All of the men hurriedly dispersed except for one. This man was tall and lanky quite similarly to myself, but his short hair and ice blue eyes differed from my shaggy green-blonde hair and hazel eyes. His features were sharp, and his aim was even sharper. He's been my lead sniper for five years now. Whenever I need to find someone or have someone killed, he's there.

"Hey there, my main man! I have a little undercover mission for ya tonight, and this one is the most important I've ever given you. I need you to find Jessica Alford. I don't care how far you have to go, what security system you have to break, or who you may have to kill in order to find her. Once you do, tell me where she is and let me in. Got it?" I commanded.

"Got it boss, I'll find her." he said, rushing out the door.

I waited impatiently for any word from Jason for over two hours, pacing the floors of my hideout angrily. I've been staked out at an abandoned motel on the outskirts of Gotham where no one could possibly think of finding us. I usually move around with my lackeys every few months or so, but the remote location of this place has allowed us to stay for a little bit over two years. I've come to like it, my humble abode. I typically reside in a one bedroom room with every wall painted a different jewel toned color, a gigantic patterned rug in the middle of the dark wood floors, a king sized bed with different colored sheets tossed on, a small television, a ratty couch, a dining room table, and newspaper headlines covering the coffee table. It was neat yet still messy at the same time; order with a touch of chaos, just how I like it.

The heels of my shoes clicked as I paced, and I can only imagine how loud I must be to the rest of the members of my brood. As the hours passed I got angrier and angrier until I suddenly heard a loud ringtone. I recognized the ringtone immediately and checked my phone. I only used it to contact one person; Jason.

Found her. She's at Wayne Manor. I infiltrated the security system and chloroformed the butler. I'm on the roof of the building, across from Bruce's bedroom. Come quick.

I immediately grabbed my keys and rushed out of the motel, jumped in my car and drove like a speed racer to a neighborhood just outside Wayne Manor. I parked my car far enough away that no one would notice it and got to the roof where Jason said he'd meet me.

"Jason, you never cease to amaze me!"

"I-I think your happiness will be a little bit short-lived. Look in the window to Bruce's bedroom." he stuttered, handing me a pair of binoculars. I gave him an incredulous look then looked through them. Immediately my blood began to boil at what I saw; my Jessica in that disgusting playboy's arms, kissing him. I began to shake in fury as I watched the scene unfold before my eyes. She's going to be very sorry she disobeyed my rules…

Jessica's POV

I wrapped my arms around Bruce's neck and smiled as I kissed him, falling into his protective arms. He led me to his bed and we fell onto it clumsily, laughing as we continued kissing passionately. My face slowly turned red as he stopped kissing me to nip on my neck and collarbone, slowly going lower and lower. He quickly took my nightgown off of me and tossed it aside, and I did the same with his robe. We were both left in our underwear as I straddled him, looking down at his deep brown eyes and soft features.

Now I know why we keep doing this…

He grabbed my breasts, taking one of my nipples in his mouth as I raked my nails down his sides and moaned. "You're absolutely breathtaking…" he breathed as he teased my breasts, leaving hickeys all around them.

I suddenly growled and pinned his arms down, biting all down his neck and chest, leaving hickeys everywhere as he groaned. "I could say the same to you." I moaned, capturing his lips again, biting him and moving my hips against him. I felt our bodies getting hotter and hotter, yearning for release. His arousal was incredibly evident as it pressed against my hips, getting harder and harder as I pressed my hips against him.

"I can't believe how sexy you are." he breathed as I kissed lower and lower down his stomach, then took off his underwear. My heart pounded wildly as his member sprang out from his boxers, getting my attention. I was about to stroke it but Bruce had other ideas. He pulled me up from his hips and flipped me over onto my back then climbed on top of me, kissing me and leaving more hickeys all over my body. I moaned and mewled as he went lower, eventually taking off my panties, revealing my arousal. "Mmm, you're so beautiful…" He smirked as he licked my sensitive spot, lapping up my juices with his tongue. I moaned and bucked my hips, grabbing the sheets as he continued his mission. My back arched and my toes curled as he licked faster and faster, almost to the point where I couldn't take it anymore.

"B-Bruce, I-I can't take it!" I mewled, grinding my hips against his face.

He moved his face away from my hips and captured my lips again, guiding the tip of his member to my entrance. I broke the kiss and wrapped my arms around his neck, staring into his eyes as he slowly entered me. We both moaned once he was inside, rocking our hips in a steady rhythm. I raked my nails down his back hard enough to draw blood as he moved faster and faster, groaning into my neck. A light sheen of sweat glistened both of us and was reflected in the moonlight, otherwise surrounding us in complete darkness. I wrapped my legs tightly around him as we were close to climax, moaning loudly.

"I-I love you, Bruce!" I moaned, holding his hips tightly as he moved faster than before. "I love you Jess!" He grunted as we both shuddered, seeing stars as we climaxed. After we finished his movements slowed down until he stopped completely, slowly pulling out of me and holding me in his arms. I laid in front of him as he wrapped his arms around my waist, softly kissing up and down my neck. "I'm really happy you decided to stay with me tonight." He chuckled, pulling me closer to him.

"Oh, I bet you are!" I laughed, holding his arms tight and snuggling against him. We both began to drift off to sleep, but something kept me awake. A few minutes later, the sound of soft snoring next to me let me know that Bruce had fallen asleep. I looked out the window lightly chuckling, grinning from ear to ear. As I looked out the window, I could've sworn I saw something small move across the roof. I picked my head up a little bit more to get a better look, but Bruce's tight grip on my waist lulled me into a feeling of safety, so I put my head back down and drifted off to sleep. It's probably nothing….

I woke up to the sounds of pounding feet, angry shouting and my body thudding to the ground as I fell off the bed. I looked around in a daze, still trying to wake up.

"How the hell did you get in here? Get out before I have you arrested!"

I barely had time to stand up before I was picked up and shoved against the wall, hitting my head. I groaned as I shut my eyes, trying to block out the pain.

"Let go of her you sick freak!" I heard Bruce scream, and my breath got caught in my chest as I came to the realization of who had broken into Bruce's room. I opened my eyes and gasped as I saw the Joker's face not even an inch from mine. I held my breath, not even wanting to breathe too loudly in fear of upsetting him. I hope he didn't see me sleeping with Bruce! I can't imagine how angry he'd be. I looked at Bruce out of the corner of my eye, seeing another man that I didn't recognize holding him with a knife to his throat.

"LOOK AT ME!" Joker shouted in my face, directing my gaze to him. "I'm disappointed in you buttercup! I thought my rules were simple to follow. All you had to do was stay in your apartment and wait for me, but I guess rules aren't important enough to you. Ironic for a lawyer, huh?" He growled, glaring at me.

"Get away from her!" Bruce shouted, earning a swift kick from his captor. He groaned and gritted his teeth as he bent over in pain. As I looked at him I saw that both of his eyes were blackened, he was bleeding in several places, and he had cuts and bruises all over his body.

"What did you do to him?" I weakly asked, my eyes widening.

"Trust me princess, you don't want to know." the clown darkly chuckled. "This only happened to him because he violated what's mine-"

"She isn't yours you fucking psychopath!"

I shuddered as Bruce was kicked a couple more times, groaning with each impact. A tear rolled down my cheek as I listened to his labored breath and pain-filled groans.

"See what happens when you don't play by my rules?" Joker asked, directing my attention back to him. "If you would've stayed at your apartment like a good little girl, Bruce-y would've been sleeping soundly! You continue to disappoint me, Jessica." he chuckled. "Now, since I'm such a nice guy, I've decided to let our little friend Scotty go. I actually dropped him off before I headed over here! But I'm afraid I'm going to have to punish you for breaking my rules!"

Before I could react, Joker threw me to the ground and stood above me. I tried to get up, but as soon as I hit the ground he kicked me in the stomach as hard as he could. I cried out in pain and curled up in a ball, trying to block his kicks as Bruce screamed at him to stop. He continued to kick me all over, grunting with each kick. "This is what happens when you break my rules! And this is only the beginning!" He cackled, continuing to kick me, then he climbed on top of me, pinning me down. He grabbed my head and lifted my face up towards his as I trembled in his grasp, terrified of what he was going to do next.

"As much fun as this has been for me, we really must be getting back home! But don't worry, sweetheart; you're coming with us." he smirked, motioning at the other captor who hit Bruce in the head with the butt of his gun, knocking him out. I screamed as Bruce hit the ground, tears streaming down my face. The Joker stared at me as I cried, his grin growing wider and wider.

"You're so beautiful when you cry…" he sighed, taking a second to look into my eyes. I saw his eyes soften, but everything went black as he smashed my head to the floor, knocking me out.

Joker's POV

Jason and I stormed away from Wayne Manor after tying Bruce up, being careful not to accidentally wake Jessica up. I was still fuming at what I saw her doing with Bruce, but she'd pay for that once she woke up. The night breeze cooled us as we walked to my car, the dim moonlight guiding us.

"Damn, I still can't believe how pissed you got!" Jason chuckled.

"You can't blame me! I told her how to play the game, and she didn't listen. Besides, Bruce violated what's mine. He's lucky that I didn't kill him." I growled, walking faster. "Now I just can't wait until my little lambchop wakes up so I can show her the punishment for not listening to me."

Oh, what a fun game that'll be….
