In another life

Joker

His stomach churned, his mouth was dry his heart ached but he wasn't sure why. Unfortunately for him he couldn't slaughter his heart.

Joker sat quietly in the silence of the car, the world melting away as he drove across Arkham city. Skyscrapers that towered over others looked so small in his eyes.

All he could think about was what he would say to her, it had been such a long time since they had made physical contact.

The driver pulled up to where he knew she would be, he knew where everyone in Gotham lived, breathed so it didn't take him long to find out her new location.

Frost escorted Joker out of the limo and onto the sidewalk, directing him inside the building and into a private elevator pushing the penthouse.

The elevator dinged signalling that they had reached their floor of destination. She stood looking over Gotham city in a elegant black dress that flowed below her waist.

It certainly took his breath away, it made him eager to touch her. "Selena Kyle, how incredible it is to make acquaintance with you again." Her face was turned away from him but he could see her smirk ever so slightly in the pale moonlight.

"What bring you around Joker? Another booty call?" He laughed instantly, it was like a moving mechanism in his brain the only way he reacted to things.

" No, maybe if things were different. No unfortunately Selena you let your boyfriend off his leash." Her eyes focused back onto the busy streets of Gotham.

He had lost her attention. "Which boyfriend are you talking about J, I have many lovers in this city." She laughed in a elegant and sexy way.

" Batman is running around with my Ex, and I don't like people touching my property." She laughed under her breath.

" Batman? Your letting that flying rat control you and take your girl. I have to admit Joker, I thought you were more capable it's pathetic really." Joker growled but kept him composure.

He couldn't lose control not yet, only Selena knew where he would be. They were like magnets that always attracted back to each other.

" He's stolen my property, and I want it back. You either help me or all your little pussy cats will die." A nerve was struck, causing her to get up in his personal space.

He felt her breath Fan his face, her hands cupping his jawline and her hands lazily attached to his hips. " Nobody threatens me Joker, but I'll make an exception just this once. So I can finally whip your ass back into shape"

Joker lipped his licks and exchanged a long and suggestive stare with Selena. Power play, power dynamics whatever you wanted to call it was currently in play.

He grabbed at her waist and pulled her close and intensity in his eyes. A burning passion lying behind his calm exterior.

"You want her back so bad? Then you need to learn to channel the demons. So much as a bruise on her pale skin and she'll leave you quicker than you can say goodbye."

Joker growled what was she good for then? Love? Relationship?. He wasn't someone who could be loved.

" I'm an idea, a state of mind I execute my will according to my plan. And she always gets in the way of that plan." Selena rolled her eyes at his ignorance.

"Let her in, I promise she won't bite or maybe she might if that's her thing. You need to learn to respect woman Joker and stop seeing them solely as objects. She wants your respect, she wants to be treated like a mutual not a punching bag."

He scoffed and clutched his knuckles before banging his fist against the wall. Which he instantly regretted as his hand was now in throbbing.

"I need to release my anger onto something, and she was always just there, around. She was so easy to hurt because I didn't love her then."

Selena rubs his upper arm. " So things have changed? You love her now." He nodded his head in what he considered solidarity.

Maybe she was one of the only few people he would tell things too giving their complicated past. Some feelings never left.

Some cravings never subsided. He could feel her heat and lust radiating, and maybe she could sense the same for him.

But they finally gave into each other, thrusting their tongues down each other's throats wanting to be in control of the other.

He knew why they called her Catwoman she sure moved like one. It felt good to once again share a bed with another human.

He woke up with a sense of belonging again, less than with Harley but some was better than nothing.

A violent thump in his heart erupted, causing him to choke. Selena cozied up to his bare body, stroking his upper arm.

" What's wrong Mr J your choking." Anger erupted replacing the tightness of his chest. No one but her called him that.

He slapped her hand away and peeled himself out of the bed. " I can't do this I can't pretend that your her." Her eyebrows furrowed but soon after a smirk crept onto Selena's face.

" So your leaving then? deals off? How about I call Harley right not and tell her what her little man whore did. Slept with her best friend, and many other woman."

He thrusted his fist against the wall. " Yeah? She wouldn't give a damn. She knows what I'm capable of and who I'm capable of doing. We aren't exclusive, I can do whoever I want."

Selena continued smirking, graciously stroking her bed sheets. "And that's your problem J, your not committed. You own her but give her nothing, you promise a dog, a bone with no bone to give and they get bored they give up and find another".

He sighed knowing that the words that left her mouth were all too true. He wasn't loyal, and clearly she loved him more than he did her. Things would change, he could change for her.

Selena peeled off the bed with utter grace. She lowered her tone so she sounded utterly sexy " Let's play a game of cat and mouse, Harley the mouse and Batman is the cat. My plan goes like this..."

Joker laughed after she explained everything, he felt like lunging himself off the building at the same time. The voices in his head working like clockwork.

Bruce Currently

Harley giggled as Bruce un-entwined her legs from his own. "I'm starvin let's go out to a restaurant Bruce!" Harley whined as she fluffed up a pillow beside her.

" No problem Harls get dressed and we'll go to the best restaurant on the strip." She sprung off the bed and practically sprinted into the walk in closet to change.

Bruce sighed and heaved open the heavy door of their villa. He sat on a rustic chair and breathed in the Cancun air, savoring the sweet smell of the sun baking off of the concrete.

Cancun Mexico, one of his many favorite vacation destinations never disappointed. Now he had Harley by his side to keep him company, instead of mindless woman every night. Who were instructed to leave the next morning.

He had someone he could share his fortunes and joy with. It had been a month since they had left, they hadn't argued once sometimes they sat in solitude soaking in each other's scent and body.

The smell of sweat dripping off their bodies, a type of peace where you could hear the droplets collide onto the concrete.

At night they melted into each other both savoring the sweet and salty kisses in the sea under the moonlight. Careful not to get a mouthful of sea water so sour you would pucker your lips for hours.

The taste of her lips eroded the sea salt, instead leaving the sweet salvation. The sweet taste of her perfume, her entity.

Her skin glowing like an angel making his heart pulse like never before. These were the days he wished never ended.
