Jerome watched his wife standing on the balcony. The doors were open and he could feel the warm breeze blowing in. The balcony light shown on her back. She was in nothing but her underwear and one of his oversized t-shirts. Jerome's eyes wondered to the bathroom. Her bra was sitting on the counter by the sink. He bit his bottom lip. He turned his attention back to Mercedes. He watched her take her right ankle and wrap it around her left leg. She moved it up and down as if she was scratching an itch. He stared at her messy bun. He couldn't help the feeling that he wanted to take it down. He knew that he was feeling the want of sex, but it was different than most of the other times he felt it. He didn't feel the need to rip her apart. He just wanted to love her. He nervously stood up from the bed. He debated sitting back down and just watching TV until she came in. He debated abandoning the entire idea all together. They hadn't been intimate in months. He remembered about her time in Arkham. He started to feel guilty for wanting to touch her. He was afraid he would be over stepping his current boundaries. Jerome took in a deep breath and decided that if she said no then that would be the end of it. He slowly walked out onto the balcony. Mercedes could feel him behind her. She stayed facing the city. She held her breath as she felt him get closer. Jerome slowly ran his hands down her arms. Mercedes could feel his warm breath on her neck. His fingertips grazed ever so gently down to the rim of his shirt she was wearing. He slowly moved his hands under the shirt until his fingertips gently touched her sides. Mercedes stayed calm. His fingers glided smoothly up and down her sides sending shivers down her spine. Mercedes closed her eyes. Jerome slowly leaned down gently gliding his lips across the right side of her neck, but not actually kissing her yet. A tingling sensation ran through her body. She instantly leaned her head back against his shoulder. He pulled away from her neck. He watched her leaning back against him with her eyes closed. He smoothed his fingertips slowly across her pregnant belly. Mercedes slowly sank into his. He gently held her hips to hold her in place. He gave her one single very gentle kiss on her neck and Mercedes gasped a tiny, almost inaudible breath. Mercedes looked at the ground with her eyes shut. Jerome slowly moved his hand underneath the shirt. He slowly traced a line from the back of her neck all the way down her spine. Jerome noticed Mercedes was holding on to the ledge in front of them. He could feel her sexual tension under his touch, but he didn't want to rush things. He hadn't set there and just appreciated her like this in a long time. Mercedes shuddered under his touch. She bit her bottom lip desperately wanting him to keep touching her. Jerome placed more gentle kisses on her neck and she immediately melted into his form. He slowly turned her around. She kept her head leaned back with her eyes closed. She could feel his fingertips gliding effortlessly across her neck and up across her jaw. Mercedes opened her eyes and slowly found her way to the rim of the shirt he was wearing. He helped her remove it. He ran her fingers down his chest and arms. He gently reached up and pulled her still slightly damp hair out of her messy bun. He was mesmerized at how softly her hair cascaded over her shoulders like a soft warm blanket. Jerome slowly guided her arms into the air and pulled his shirt over her head revealing her bare chest. He swiftly lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. She gave him a small smile as her fingertips ran down his cheek. He slowly turned around and walked back inside. They kept complete eye contact as he walked towards the bed. He gently laid her against the mattress on top of the blankets. Jerome couldn't stand the idea that women become less sexy after giving birth and especially after giving birth multiple times. He was staring at his pregnant wife and taking in every inch of her. He loved everything about her body that came with being pregnant or after. He was in love with what he called her tiger strips. Especially the ones on her thick thighs. He felt she looked absolutely sexy and incredibly beautiful. Mercedes stared up at her husband as he admired her form. It was as if she was seeing a side of him she hadn't seen in forever. Completely loving and gentle while taking his time. Jerome stood up straighter and motioned to take his sweat pants off before stopping. Mercedes tried to search for some clue as to why he stopped. He slowly leaned over her. He gently cupped her cheek. 

"I-is.. Is this okay..? Do I have your permission to continue trying to have sex with you..?"

His words sent shivers down her entire body. Her lips slowly formed into a small smile. She nodded.

"Yes.. this is okay."

Jerome threw his sweat pants across the floor. He climbed on the bed hovering over her. He leaned down and gently pressed his lips into her. She instantly ran her hands down his arms. They traced gentle fingers and kisses all over each other.

Something must've gone wrong in my brain
Got your chemicals all in my veins
Feeling all the highs, feel all the pain
Let go of the wheel, that's the bullet lane
Now I'm seeing red, not thinking straight
Blurring all the lines, you intoxicate me

Just like nicotine, heroin, morphine
Suddenly, I'm a fiend and you're all I need
All I need, yeah, you're all I need

It's you, babe
And I'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe
And I could try to run, but it would be useless
You're to blame
Just one hit of you, I knew I'll never be the same
It's you, babe
And I'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe
And I could try to run, but it would be useless
You're to blame
Just one hit of you, I knew I'll never ever, ever be the same
I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same

Sneaking in LA when the lights are low
Off of one touch, I could overdose
He said, "stop playing it safe
Girl, I wanna see you lose control"

Just like nicotine, heroin, morphine
Suddenly, I'm a fiend and you're all I need
All I need, yeah, you're all I need

It's you, babe
And I'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe
And I could try to run, but it would be useless
You're to blame
Just one hit of you, I knew I'll never be the same
It's you, babe
And I'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe
And I could try to run, but it would be useless
You're to blame
Just one hit of you, I knew I'll never ever, ever be the same
I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same

You're in my blood, you're in my veins, you're in my head (I blame)
You're in my blood, you're in my veins, you're in my head (I'm sayin')

It's you, babe
And I'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe
And I could try to run, but it would be useless
You're to blame (you're to blame)
Just one hit of you, I knew I'll never be the same (I'll never be the)
It's you, babe
And I'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe
And I could try to run, but it would be useless
You're to blame
Just one hit of you, I knew I'll never ever, ever be the same
