Authors note: general disclaimer, I don't own any characters or anything to do with batman (I wish!)

Any feedback good or bad is always appreciated. Again not the longest chapter, sorry still trying to feel about how to set up the main chunk of the story!

Catwoman stopped on top of a high rise building, she checked around her, listening and sensing. Once she was certain he was no longer following her she stretched out in the night air smiling as she produced the diamond and held it up to the moon. She rolled it down her body revelling in the hard smooth beautiful object. She chuckled as she looked at her image reflected back at her off the planes. He thought he was always one step ahead of her. His arrogance astounded her, especially since he accredited that flaw to her constantly. He always had underestimated the effect she could have on him. He was so typically disappointed at seeing her there and so irritated that she insisted on calling him Bruce that he failed to catch her sneaking an arm back, clasping her precious baby and concealing it, and all the while he was looking straight at her. She laughed "World's greatest detective huh?"

"So they say."

"Fuck."

"Maybe you should steal a thesaurus Selina."

"It's Catwoman. Bruce." She said sneering. She would never freely admit it but when his hand shot out and held tight around her neck, it caught her off guard and she dropped her newest possession. She looked on in horror as it smashed into a million pieces. She looked into the Dark Knight's eyes and felt the red mist of rage descend on her as she saw the self satisfied pompous smug look on his face. She stepped back as she hooked her arm over the top of his and dragged her hand to the side, peeling his hand away from her throat at the same time she used the heel of her other hand to drive up into his face then she back flipped and caught him in the face with her metal heel. He managed to recover quickly and as her heel made contact with his face he grabbed her ankle with both hands, drove her to the floor and pinned her with his knee on her chest.

"The diamond." She spat the word out vehemently in his face.

"Fake." She scowled at him.

"Obviously." She growled through gritted teeth. "When?"

"While you were cutting in through the window."

She shifted under his weight but to no avail. "Clever little bat, always one step ahead hmm?"

His eyes narrowed at her sarcastic tone as the sound of sirens filled the air. "Time to go Selina."

She smiled seductively at him "So soon? I was just starting to enjoy our position." She winked at him and rolled her hips under him. He huffed angrily at her and pulled her up roughly. "Oh I love it when you take control." She threw herself at him and kissed him hard.

God damn it. She was insufferable. And a very good kisser. No. No she wasn't. She was a criminal. Still. A criminal and had just attempted to steal yet another priceless artefact. Another of his family heirlooms. Despite everything.

Why did it still feel so good to kiss him. Bastard. She ran her hands down his moulded black suit that was an amazing fit to his chiseled body. She moaned involuntarily. He seized her wrists and spun her around. "Ooh Brucie, change of position?" She thrust her ass into his crotch.

He pushed her away from him hard and she span around smirking at him. She knew him too well and how to push his buttons. He couldn't let her get to him. He took a step toward her, fuming.

She had gotten to him. Good. He deserved it the pompous, self righteous god damn sexy git. She sighed. He was storming towards her. She was in two minds, all she really wanted to do was pounce on that ridiculously handsome strong pigheaded man, rip off his cowl and remind him just how good they were together. But of course he wouldn't allow that, what with him being mr goody two shoes and her being -shock horror!- a criminal! Not like he knew that when they slept together before! She growled with frustration. He didn't deserve her lust.

He was in arm's reach when she blew a kiss at him and back flipped off the building.
