Chalant Kisses

Jawline Kiss

"Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are."

The banquet was in full swing. The investors were schmoozing, the company owners were mingling and Dick was bored out of his mind.

He hated these banquets. They were always full of uptight jerks in suits looking for a pretty penny or their date for the night. It was hardly for the charity anymore.

From where he was sitting he could see Bruce laughing with some woman. Selina Kyle, he thinks her name is. His foster father seemed to have taken a liking to her during the few charity events they've met up at.

Right now she had her hand on Bruce's shoulder laughing at something he had said.

These events were better with someone to keep you company. It would've been cool if Wally could've come. At least he'd have some to laugh with.

"Excuse me," someone tapped him on the shoulder. "Would you like to dance?"

He recognized the voice but he couldn't believe that she was here. He slowly turned around.

The magician smirked at his look of awe. She wore her hair down and it cascaded down her back to the sparkly red dress that caused more looks to be thrown her way than he was comfortable with. She pulled him by his hand and pulled him into a dance.

"How did you know I was here?"

"A magician never reveals their secrets."

"Was it Wally or Bruce?"

She cocked her head to the side with a crooked and teasing smile. "You don't want me here?"

"Of course I do, but didn't you go on a mission out of the country with Artemis and M'gann?"

"We got back early," she shrugged. "I got dressed, combed my hair, and teleported here."

"Seems like a lot of work," he joked.

"Well I didn't want you to be lonely with no one to crack jokes with."

He twirled her around to the music and when she came back around he kissed her on her jaw, a feathery sensation that caused a few looks to be aimed their way. "You're the best, Zee. You know that?"

There was a rosy blush on her cheeks that only brought out her smile even more. "I know. It doesn't hurt to be told that every now and then thought."

He laughed, "I'll have to say it more often then."

Her blush darkened and she huffed and looked away from him at another couple or a wall on the other side of the room to hide how deep her blush had gotten. "Just finish dancing so we can go to the buffet table. I haven't eaten in hours."
