In Too Deep

27

"I need to make my first debut today Frost" Jack says and I watch him pace around the large table.

Frost managed to get me a couple of items from my home without setting off suspicion seeing as how my house is also a crime scene. We're in the mill currently, Jack and his men are trying to figure out when the next raid/heist should happen as his big comeback.

"You should come back with a heist. I'm telling you this bank is the real deal" he points to the map on the wall. A bunch of red pins are scattered throughout the city.

"I don't give a shit about the bank. I haven't been to my club in ages. I need to make sure my clients are being taken care of and the staff are doing their part" he says.

"But Boss-"

"What is currently bringing in a consistent amount of money? The club. Heists and raids are all to rile the bat. I want to stay under the radar for as long as possible before that flying beast ruins my momentary freedom" he growls.

"I'm not returning to Arkham. Not anymore" he huffs and pushes away from the table.

He walks and I follow behind him.

We get to the funhouse and he closes the door behind us.

"Show me what clothes you brought" he says as he nods to the large suitcases at the entrance of the loft.

I kneel down and unzip it. He crouches down and rifles through. Nothing seems to please him according to the sour look on his face.

"Did you ever...go out?" he furrows his eyebrows and looks towards me. I shake my head.

"I rarely spent University partying. Too much course work to do. I spent it purely studying. After I graduated I was immediately hired into Arkham and well, here we are" I motion to my surroundings.

"Burn it" is all he says before standing up and walking towards he stairs.

"Burn what?" I ask confused.

"Your clothes" he says simply, walking up the steps.

"Why would i do that?" I ask and walk towards him.

"Because it's not you. Not anymore" he says simply.

"It can't be you if you want to be a part of my life. My world" he walks into the bathroom.

"If i burn them i have no clothes" he throws his shirt over his head. He walks towards me, cornering me into the bathroom door.

"That's why you'll go shopping with Frost later on today" he chuckles.

"Why do I get the feeling that your idea of shopping is much more different then mine?" I ask.

He shrugs, he grabs my leg and hoists it up to his bare waist. The skin on skin contact has my breath quickening.

"You'll buy everything and anything you need to adjust to the new you. And when you come back, you'll be dressed in the best to arrive at my club" he says and his mouth covers mine.

I wrap an arm around his neck while the other holds the side of his face.

He pulls away slightly.

"Join me" he says, more of a statement rather than a question.

I nod but make no move to get out of my current position.

"You killed a man today" I say. He nods and peppers kisses down the side of my throat.

"Wouldn't be the first time" he whispers.
