Chapter 10:

The Joker's tongue twists in Rachel's mouth so slowly, she moans every time it hits her own. The Joker removes his tongue just as slowly and rubs it against her bottom lip tenderly. His tongue plays along her lips as he speaks in a alluring tone "Dare…. fuck me…" Rachel's eyes widen at the words. She gasps as the Joker moves his tongue up and down her neck.

Rachel shivers at the cool sensation along her neck. Slowly, the Joker blows softly up the path back up to her lips. Rachel cannot help but let another moan escape her throat. She gulps just as the Joker puts one of his hands between her bare legs and his hand travels up towards her skirt.

Suddenly, and unwillingly, a growl escapes from Rachel's stomach. The Joker removes his hand from her legs and asks in a growl "You hun-gry, beautiful?" Rachel just stares at the man before her in both hatred and in stimulation. How could she be so turned on by a man with such evil principles? It was very unlike her, but to her surprise, the idea of his scarred lips being on top of hers made her heart want to jump out of her chest.

The Joker moves her head to the side so he could speak into her ear "Well…I've got something you could feed off of…" Rachel bites her lip as the Joker gets up onto his feet and puts his hands on his hips. Rachel looks up at him in bewilderment because he starts walking away.

She feels her stomach churn once again and she asks sadly "Where…ugh…where are you going?" The Joker giggles, opens the door while saying with a smirk on his face "Oh don't worry, Princess. I'll be back…. just like the terminator." He continues to laugh as he closes the door leaving Rachel with her growling stomach.

"Alfred, are you even paying attention?" Bruce Wayne asks his Butler/father figure because he is staring off into space. Alfred looks at Bruce Wayne, nods and excuses himself "Yes. I beg your pardon, Master Wayne. I was just thinking that maybe we should take a break…."

Bruce's mouth falls open and he asks angrily as he spreads himself out on the couch "A break?" Alfred nods, smiles and whispers back "Yes, Master Wayne. A break, as in some time off…. relax…maybe if you do, then…." But Bruce interrupts by saying angrily "There is no time to relax, Alfred! We have to find Rachel!"

Bruce gets up off his couch and starts pacing the room while saying in full rage "Am I the only one that cares about her?" Alfred bites his lip and replies with sorrow scratched across his eyes "Well, I beg your pardon, sir. But I have known Miss. Dawes her entire life, I not only care for her…she was…and still is like a daughter to me…"

Bruce chuckles dryly while saying with his back turned to his friend "Not if she's dead." Bruce turns around again and whispers to Alfred "She loves me, Alfred. She said so…." Alfred nods, looks to the ground and whispers "Yes, Master Wayne. I understand how you are feeling…." Bruce rolls his eyes and shouts angrily "No, you don't! She is with that…that…maniac right now! I have to find her…before something bad happens!"

Alfred nods and replies with full sympathy "With all due respect, sir. I don't think something bad is going to happen. I denote, don't you think that it would of already happened? It seems the Joker is being awfully kind to her…. there must be some sort of reason for his...for his...generosity."

Bruce chuckles and asks "Generosity? Keeping her captive is generous?" Alfred shrugs his shoulders, smirks and says, "Well, for a man of his values it certainly is." Bruce bites his bottom lip and asks "Values? Does he have any? I know the world is all about relativism, different points of views and all that…but this man…. No, this animal…cannot be kind to anyone…. unless, of course, he wants something."

Alfred nods in approval and says "As we've established, this man wants to watch the world burn." Bruce shakes his head and says "No, he wants to watch my world burn." Alfred shakes his head and says in a calm voice "He'll start with you and then destroy the rest of us, but that isn't the point Master Wayne. The future cannot be created unless the present is chosen. Therefore, what have you chosen for your present sir?"

Bruce turns his head to face Alfred and whispers under his breath "I have to find her. Alfred. Keep the news on, if anything of interest sparks, call me on my cell phone." Alfred nods and Bruce walks out the door while saying "Remember, anything about the Joker, call." He closes the door and Alfred nods sadly while murmuring "Yes, Master Wayne."

"Pizza delivery!" The Joker calls as he walks into the room carrying a box of pizza a few minutes later. Rachel's eyes widen and she smiles while saying "Food! Wait...What kind of pizza is it? Pepperoni, hopefully?" The Joker sits down beside her and asks while his eyebrows are raised "Picky, are we? Well, maybe, I should just sit here and eat this all by my self."

Rachel shakes her head and says while her stomach roars again "No! I am sorry. Your right. Just please untie me, so I can...eat." The Joker smirks, puts the box down beside him and whispers into her ear "You know, I'm kind of like this pizza…" Rachel's eyebrows rise in confusion but then he whispers huskily, "Even when I'm bad…. I'm good. (Pause) There is no way I'm untying you! Just because I'm a jester, that doesn't make me a fool."

Rachel watches as the Joker opens the box and reveals the cold pizza. Her stomach growls and she asks, "Then how am I going to eat?" The Joker picks up a piece of pizza, sighs and says, "Tell you what, pumpkin. If I untie you…do you promise not to try to run away? 'Cuz I'm really tired tonight, and I don't want to have to go through cat and mouse tag, so, you give your word, hmmm?"

Rachel looks at him in the eyes, nods, and whispers "I give my word." The Joker bites his lip, nods, takes out his knife from his pants pocket and says, "Fine, fine, fine. Well, don't move, I don't want to turn you into a pathetic little emo kid." He brings his knife around the bed poll, and around her wrists, and cuts the ropes off. Rachel shakes her hands and brings them in front of her and starts to rub at them while saying "Finally!"

The Joker throws his knife towards the door and opens the pizza box once again. Rachel looks down at her legs and says "How about my legs?" The Joker chuckles and replies through stiff giggles, "Yes, what time do they open?" Rachel blushes, and tries to ignore the comment by stating, "Are you going to untie them?" The Joker licks his bottom lip and says with a real smile on his non-make-up wearing face "I don't think we live in the jungle, beautiful. We don't need our feet to eat."

Rachel gasps as she realizes why she asked to be untied in the first place. She reaches over the Joker, accidentally brushing his middle on the way down. She grabs a pizza and takes a big bite. The Joker moves her to sit down next to him while saying, "Watch the goods, Rach." She shakes her head and swallows her food while asking "Anything to drink?"

The Joker laughs and asks "Well, how about something salty?" Rachel rolls her eyes but cannot help but laugh in the process. She takes another bite of the pizza and asks out of curiosity "I thought monsters weren't supposed to feed their victims?" The Joker raises one of his eyebrows, wraps an arm around her and says with emphasis "Well, I'm not a monster, honey. I'm just ahead of the curve…. and besides, since when are you the victim? I believe I'm being rather…ugh…what's that horrible word…. ugh…. kind to you…don't you think?"

Rachel finishes her pizza slice nods and asks "Yes, Mr. Joker. And why is that exactly?" The Joker sighs, takes her head in his hands and whispers while looking straight into her eyes "You…You, Miss. Dawes, are like me. You know? Something special, you know that?" She swallows, and asks while blushing "I'm something special?"

The Joker laughs and shouts out after licking his lips "Yes, you little dummy. What, you've got hearing problems or something? You want me to get you one of those hearing-aids?" Rachel sighs, and grabs another slice of pizza. Before she takes a bite she asks "And what makes me so special, Jack?" The Joker grinds his teeth and says in a frustrated tone "Don't. Call. Me. That."

Rachel sighs and says after swallowing "Yes, I know…I know. I'm sorry. I won't do it again. I..ugh..." The Joker nods and says with a wide grin on his face "I know you won't. You wouldn't want to put your life in danger again...would you?" Rachel shakes her head and swallows down her second pizza slice.

Rachel once again asks, feeling more confident without her hands being tied up "So, you didn't answer my question. What makes me so special?" The Joker's left eyebrow raises and he responds "Well…I'll answer your question if you answer mine." She bites her bottom lip as he moves his lips closer towards her and asks, "Do you know what winks and screws like a tiger?"

Rachel shakes her head and the Joker winks and says, "I do." He then grabs her head and kisses her lips forcefully. Rachel, unable to push him away, accepts the kiss and presses her tongue into his mouth. He lets out a deep moan as Rachel's hands move through his hair. The Joker moves his hands down towards her legs and rips the rope open.

She gasps and before she can even think about running, he places himself on top of her and kisses down her neck roughly. As he does this, he knocks the camera over, turning it off. Rachel swallows as her promise to the Joker runs through her head. But the Joker saying hotly "I'll be back with the whipped cream" interrupts her thoughts. His breath haunts the air around her as he gets up off of her and she lays there, with no thoughts of running away in her mind.

"How'd it go boss?" Rumple asks as the Joker walks into the other room. The Joker laughs and says softly "Oh, really...ugh...well. I think Batboy is going to go….just…ber-serk! I've got her licking right off my scars…literally." Rumple smiles and says, "I told you not wearing your make-up would be a good idea. She sees you as this normal man now, not just some criminal. You see, boss, that was my idea…no matter what Billy says!"

The Joker nods, smiles, and walks towards the fridge while saying "Yea, maybe I won't kill you after all." Rumple smiles and says, "Well, thanks boss, appreciate it. Anyway, when are you going to break that honest streak and conclude this thing? You know…when are you going to tell her you love her?"

The Joker laughs, smiles his evil smile and says, "When the camera's are rolling and tongues are licking! You see….I want this to be a masterpiece. When Bat boy and the rest of Gotham see's that Rachel Dawes, the kind, sweet, innocent lawyer, has fallen in love with yours truly…. then, only then, will Bats go ca-ra-zeee! And imagine what they'll say, when they think I love her! All their small little faces, losing hope, as the Bat dies by the one he loves. Anyway...Rumple, where'd you put the whipped cream?"
