Serpent in Paradise

Part 25

The Wayne private plane touched down at Gotham Airport. Alfred let the agents in and handed them his passport. They in turn checked everyone else stopping longer in front of Samantha asking her questions. Alfred saw Tim move beside her to give her moral support. Once satisfied they shook her hand and welcomed all of them back to the US. Alfred breathed a sigh of relief. He would not want to see a tearful young girl let alone a tearful young man broken hearted due to a technicality.

"Master Bruce, I shall bring the car around and start unloading the luggage."

"Thanks Alfred," Bruce stated. "I guess we'll just settle in for a few more minutes."

Tim put his hand on Damian's back. "See, I told you we were going home." He then leaned in and gave Samantha a kiss. "Welcome to your new home."

"I'm happy to be here," Samantha kissed Tim back.

"Jason, Sasha will you be meeting us at the Manor later for dinner?," Bruce asked. "I'm sure Alfred will be cooking up all of our favorites."

"If I remember how, Sir," Alfred joked. "You know I get a little rusty when I am away for a few days from my kitchen. Now let me see. Was it a gas range or an electric one that we have."

"Alfred, don't tease. Someday I'll actually believe you."

"If Sasha is up for it then yes, we'll be back at the Manor later on."

"Oh you know we'll be there. Besides, this woman has to keep up her strength and energy to um, keep up with this one," Sasha said, poking Jason in the ribs.

Jason waved a finger at her playfully.

"How about we take our items home and we'll see you later."

"Dick, I don't think I'll need any assistance with anything yet. Alfred can drop you off at Barbara's. I'll see you for dinner as well."

"Okay." Dick took out his phone and text Barbara to let her know they were home and he was coming over to see her.

Alfred drove Dick to Barbara Gordon's apartment in the old clock tower before going back to the manor. He pulled out in front of her apartment building and Dick hopped out as his broken leg allowed him to do. Bruce handed Dick his crutches. Dick thanked Alfred and Bruce then headed up. He took the elevator up instead of using the stairs like he normally did. He was going to be glad to get off his feet.

Barbara heard a knock on the door and wheeled over to open it. Dick was leaning on his crutches grinning from ear to ear. He looked tanned and even rested. "Well, hello former boy wonder, what can I do for you?"

Dick couldn't stop himself from leaning over and giving her a kiss.

"Careful, you'll fall right into my lap, unless that is your intention."

Dick gave her playful wink. "Of course. May I come in?"

"Well, I don't know. Is that small bag you're holding for someone special? Or did you just go shopping for yourself."

"No, it's for you." Dick handed the small package to Barbara.

"Well, thank you. I love boy wonders bearing gifts." Barbara opened it to reveal a jewelry box. Inside was a bracelet with three charms, a bat a bird, and a rose. "Oh Dick, it's lovely."

Dick blushed. "I wanted to get you something special."

"It is. Thank you. Could you put it on me?"

Dick placed his crutches down and bent over to put the bracelet on her.

"Maybe we'll add to it," Barbara added. Before he stood up Barbara placed her hands on either side of Dick's face and gave him a deep kiss. "Did Tim get back safely? I sent the birds to help. I was worried. I couldn't communicate back with him."

Dick placed one of his hands on hers. "Yes, he's home safely with everyone, including Samantha."

"Samantha? You mean the alli he mentioned?"

"Yes, Devlin was keeping her as some sort of whore," biting down on the last word. He disliked using that word.

"Oh, the poor girl. How old is she?" Barbara asked. "Tim didn't mention it in his messages."

"She's only 17," replied Dick.

"I'd like to kill the man, taking a minor. I know it happens every day, but I'm glad Tim was able to convince her to escape that life."

"Me,too." Dick sat down on the floor in front of her. He couldn't stop looking at her.

Barbara bent over and tried to pull Dick toward her so his head rested on her lap. "I've missed you."

"I missed you too." Dick reached his hand up to intertwine their hands together.

With Dick's head resting on her lap, Barbara felt she wanted to give him a different kind of welcoming. "Come on, let me give you a proper welcome home. Follow me."

Dick got up to follow Barbara to her room.

Barbara moved her chair close to the bed. Then using her arms, she leveraged and maneuvered herself onto the bed near the center. Dick watched as Barbara climbed up onto the bed. He sat his crutches to the side and limped his way over to the bed. Barbara opened her arms for him. Dick crawled up the bed and into her awaiting arms. He leaned down and placed a deep kiss on her lips.

'God I missed him. I nearly broke down when I received Tim's second communication, telling me that everyone was dead. I am so glad Tim was wrong.' A tear slipped down Barbara's cheek, a tear of relief and joy that Dick was safely back in her arms.

"Oh, Babs." Dick kissed the tear away from her eyes. "I didn't mean to make you worry. Tim was upset also. Devlin tricked him."

"I know. Tim contacted me right after and tried to explain but his transmission had been cut off. I wasn't sure. I'm just so glad that it wasn't true. I don't know what I would have done if I lost you."

Dick let her clutch on to him. "Well,if something were to happen to me I don't want you giving up okay?"

Barbara clutched tighter and realized she wanted something more, something lasting between them. She deepened the kiss a kiss that could mean only one thing, and she wanted it now.

Dick kissed her back. He loved her so much. He don't know what he would do without her. He let his hand go up under her shirt feeling on her skin.

Barbara reached up and started to unbutton her blouse. Dick got the message and continued opening the front. She reached up and unsnapped her bra. It was easier to get ones that closed in the front. Exposing her breasts, she invited Dick into her arms once more. Dick leaned down to suck and nipple at one of her breasts while he used his hand to grope and rub the other. Barbara wanted to feel his hands and his mouth on her. She reached down and unbuttoned and unzipped her jeans. Though she hated the fact she needed help, that fact she wanted him over road those emotions. Dick pulled away from her breast, giving one last suck on her nipple. Sitting up he helped pull her pants off, throwing them off the bed. She was wearing lacy black and blue panties.

"Like them?" Barbara asked Dick. "I call them my Nightwings."

Dick placed a kiss on the waist band. "Of course I do."

"Because I have ten more."

Dick could feel himself harden as he looked up at her. He took his fingers and started to rub her spot through the fabric of the panties. "How come I'm now just knowing about these?"

"I . . . I bought them . . . Oh," Barbara was having a hard time putting words together. "Um . . Yesterday . . . Oh . . To surprise you . . . Ohhhhh . . . Don't stop."

Dick pressed his fingers harder against her. "Ten pairs in one go? Oh Babs." He kissed the area around her belly button. Pushing her panties to the side he slipped a finger inside of her.

"Ohhhhhh ... Ohhhhh ... Ohhhhhh," Barbara bit her lip. With Dick's finger inside her, it was driving her crazy. "More former boy wonder."

Dick slid a second finger in with the first. He pressed them up to rub at her spot from the inside. He could feel her clamp down around them. He then started to pump them.

Barbara's breath was coming quicker, her heart pounding. She could feel her orgasm building. Despite not having little feeling in her legs, this she could feel, and it was wonderful. Barbara clamped down on Dick's fingers. It was just as good as if he were inside her. "Ooooooohhhhh ... Ohhhhhhh ... Ohhhhhhhh ... Ohhhhhhhhh ... I feel like ... I'm ... Going to . . . ,"

"Go on," Dick coaxed seductively. He leaned his head down and kissed her lower lips, slipping his tongue inside.

"Ohhhhhhh," Barbara moaned with pleasure. 'That did it.' She could feel herself cum, wave after rippling wave of shudders. He had pleased her without pleasing himself. It told her a lot.

Dick felt her shudder around his tongue and fingers. He smiled, knowing he could make her orgasm with out his shaft. He pulled away and used his hands to massage her hips.

Barbara was breathing hard as if she had just worked out. "I want you inside me, please. I need you inside me."

Dick slipped out of his pants and boxers, tossing them aside with her discarded pants on the floor. Reaching his hand down Dick stroked himself, letting Barbara get an eyeful.

"Let me taste you," Barbara pleaded.

"Okay," Dick agreed as he got on his knees in front of her close to her head.

Barbara scooted herself up enough so she was even with his penis. She took Dick's shaft in her hands and started to massage him then placed it in my mouth. He tasted wonderful. Her hands were pretty strong. They had to be. Barbara could feel him harden as she worked him.

"Oh Babs," Dick moaned as he ran a hand through her hair. "Ohhhh . . . yes . . . " Her mouth was warm and wet against the head and her hands squeezed in the right way.

Barbara worked her mouth around his head, using her tongue. She took as much of his shaft as she could in her mouth. She wanted to swallow what he could give her before the their next round.

"Ohhhh...Babs...uhhhhh." Dick continued to moan unt his pleasure. It was like she was trying to drink him down. "Suck harder . . . please . . .,"

"Mmmmmm," Barbara hummed against Dick, sucking on him like he was her favorite lollipop flavor. When she started to taste a small amount of cum, Barbara sucked even harder. Barbara could not see his face, but she could tell Dick was almost there. She went for it, sucking and licking on his most sensitive spot.

Dick don't think he could hold it much longer. He felt her pull back until she was on his head again. He felt her lick at the underside sending a shiver up his spine. 'If she sucks once more time I'm going to spill.'

"Barbara," Dick called her name as he came, spilling into her mouth.

"You taste so divine," Barbara started licking him again, this time wanting to feel him inside her.

Dick started to harden again with each lick she gave him. He pulled away from her and slid down her body, again. He hooked his fingers inside her panties and pulled them down. "I really do love these. You should wear them for Nightwing one day. I wouldn't mind stopping by here after patrol," Dick hinted.

"Anything you wish, my former boy wonder, my MAN wonder," Barbara emphasized that one. "Maybe for a midnight snack. Just remember to come alone. They're for your eyes only."

"I will," Dick slid the panties down her legs slowly. giving her lower lips a kiss. Pulling them off her legs Dick placed them off to the side. He placed her legs around her waist and started to push into her slowly, letting her warm velvety goodness suck him in.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh ...oooooohhhhhhh ... Oooooohh ...yes Dick yes."

Dick started to pump in and out of her. He couldn't stop from going at a fast pace. He lifted both of her legs, placing them over his shoulders so he could go in deep.

"Ohhhh Dick . . . yes . . .Ohhhhhh . .,. Ohhhh Yesss!" Barbara cried out her pleasure. Despite her legs having little feeling, she was always surprised when she made love that she had feeling inside, feeling that actually gave her hope that some day, she might walk again.

Dick could feel Barbara start to climax. He could feel her tighten around him, shuddering. Her muscles pulled him back in and he came inside of her.

"Ooooohhh . . ..yes1" Barbara suddenly climaxed, not just once, but several times. That hadn't happened in a long time. She slowly came down from the high she was experiencing. It was beyond incredible. She opened her arms to receive him. She wanted him just to hold her, to sleep with her, to wake up with me always.

Dick pulled out and laid down with her. "Babs, I love you."

"I love you, Dick Grayson. I almost lost you. I don't ever want to experience that feeling again."

"Never again," Dick turned her face towards him so he could kiss her deeply.

"What time is it," Barbara asked in the middle of a yawn.

Dick yawned and looked at the clock. "About five in the afternoon."

"Doesn't Alfred serve dinner at six?"

Dick groaned, "Yes. I don't want to leave. I want to stay with you."

"Won't Bruce be disappointed, besides, I think I would like to meet this Samantha. I could drive us back to the Manor. And maybe stay the night. I do have a special van my Dad gave me. I haven't driven it very much."

"Okay, as long as you wear another pair of those Nightwing panties. Samantha really is a nice girl. I think you will like her. I don't know about Sasha. I think she doesn't trust her."

"I wonder why," Barbara questioned. "And, yes, if you get me a clean pair and help me get dressed. No funny business. It will delay our arrival."

Dick pouted. "Okay." He got up and headed over to her dresser. "What would you like to wear?"

"Since it's a little chilly out there, my blue turtleneck and black pants."

"My favorite colors." Dick went into her drawers and pulled out the clothes. Then going into the underwear drawer he could see she wasn't lying. Nine different pair of lacy undies were in there. Grabbing one, he took them back to Barbara and helped her put them on.

"Grab me a matching bra as well."

"Whoops forgot." Going back over he grabbed a blue and black bra. 'She must really love me.'

"Thank you," Barbara said in a lilting voice. Dick handed her a shirt and the bra that she could put on herself. He then assisted with helping her dress the rest of the way. Once she was dressed, Barbara grabbed her chair and using her arms, she swung into the seat. "Uh hum. What about you? You're not even dressed."

"I'm going to arrive there naked," Dick teased. He got dressed in no time and stretched a little. "Ready."

"All I need is my coat and keys. We need to go to the garage level."

Barbara opened the van remotely to access the special wheelchair lift. Once the she was connected to the wheelchair lift and heading inside the van, Dick jumped in to assist her the rest of the way to the driver's side. He could see why this van was special. It was decided just for her use. It did have a passenger seat but not much else. Once Barbara was secure in the driver's seat, Dick buckled up. Barbara started the van and they were soon heading to the Manor.
