Chalant Candlelight

Chapter 27

(Robin's POV)

The next day,

I enter the library where the rest of the team has already started on the mission report from Ive's little tantrum at the lab. Artemis and I are incapable of making eye contact. I have an anxious feeling though I doubt anyone knew, the quietness of the room made me paranoid someone found out,

"Rob, nice of you to join us!" Wally sprints over to me, his arm coming around my shoulder as I completely tense up rolling out from his arm,

"Woah, why so defensive?" He laughed at my cautious manner, Artemis gave the scene a glance. I looked into Wally's face for a second, he didn't know anything,

"Sorry," I rubbed the back of my head,

"Long night?" He innocently asked as we walked to our chairs,

"You could say that," I nod as Artemis made a subtle look at one another, reminding ourselves to breathe,

Last night,

Artemis and I drove across the city to her family's abandoned apartment I had one hand on the steering wheel and one hand on her thigh. Immediately when we closed the door behind us she jumped on me wrapping her legs around my waist as I carried her to the couch laying her down sparing gentleness, knowing her vibe as she smirked at me with her black lipstick,

"Wow, is that how it is, Boy Wonder?" She grinned while I kissed her neck hovering over top of her, lacing her hands through my hair she jerked my face back, I seeth in pain feeling a smile grow on my lips, "Two can play at that game," She teased. I grip her wrists making her let go of my hair before pinning her arms above her head,

"Oh really?" I raised a cocky brow when she laced a leg behind my knee, collapsing my knee she made me fall as she rolled on top of me on the floor,

"Oh really," She nodded, accepting the challenge and kissing my jaw while my rough hands traveled her torso, "Wally never does it like this," She moaned as my eyes ripped open. I sit up backing myself away, much to her dismay. But her words meant that I was suiting her more than he was, "Where are you running to, Boy Wonder?" She asked, her arms holding her up on either side of my leg,

"What?" I ask,

"Wally's just not aggressive like you are," She admitted. I had often heard that from many girls...ahem...moving on...

"I think we're making a huge mistake," I shake my head,

"Why?"

"If I keep going will I be on your mind when you're with Wally?" I ask as she sobers up becoming silent at the realisation,

"Oh my gosh, I'm cheating on Wally with you," She finally admits to herself backing up off me

"How could I be so selfish?" She asks herself balling up with her arms around her legs,

"Don't," I grab her knee, "Don't be hard on yourself, I wanted this too," I admit,

"We must really be terrible people," She hangs her head

"The worst," I sigh, as we think of the implications of this all,

(Zatanna's POV)

I keep my eye on both Artemis and Robin while we all sit around a table filling out the dreaded paperwork that comes with a mission where we split up,
