The Beast Within

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Future Chapter Part Two.

One year after previous chapter.

Nyssa sighed and downed another drink, she swung her left leg over her right crossing her legs and looked over her shoulder and felt eyes on her from the table behind her where she was at the bar, she stole a quick glance and locked eyes with eyes that looked almost grey from the darkness of the club, she turned away and ordered another drink, she pulled out her phone and texted someone 'stop staring at me' she sat her phone down and picked up her martini.

Jerome watched the brunette woman at the bar intensely, it was like he knew her but he didn't, she felt like a stranger to him, she turned to face him and his eyes locked onto familiar honey golden brown eyes, she looked away and he took a gulp of his scotch, his phone buzzed and he unlocked it reading the text 'stop staring at me' he smirked and typed back.

Nyssa huffed and picked up her phone once it buzzed and read his message 'make me, doll' she looked over her shoulder to see him smirking, she sat her drink down and stood up, she walked to him and saw two girls relatively younger than her sitting either side of him, she stood in front of him and she had caught his complete attention, Jerome eyed her up and down, he took in her full appearance, she had on a tight slightly revealing red dress and black and gold stiletto's, as soon as she approached him he didn't see anyone in the room, all he saw was his wife and she was the most beautiful girl in the world to him "you lost, doll?" she crossed her arms and kept on her best poker face "came to find something fun to do, looks like you're already occupied" he smirked and stood up and gently grabbed her wrist before she could walk away "I'm never too busy for you, doll" she smiled and he let go of her wrist and he took a hold of her hand.

They walked out of the club and walked to the back room where Jerome's office was, he grabbed her face and smashed his lips into hers, they walked into the room and he kicked the door shut, he locked the door and they quickly searched the room for any hidden bugs, she checked the windows and slid them shut tightly, once the room was secure he sat down and let out a huff, they both smiled at each other and she sat down in his lap "I've missed you honey" "I miss you too, doll, but it's still not safe for us to be seen together" "it's been a year Jerome, I just want my husband to come home" "I know baby and all I want is to be with you every second of everyday and to stop lying to our kids, but we've both got our parts to play" "why did I have to 'cheat' on you with Miah?" "it needed to be believable and since Poppy and Scar are his, it was the most believable story" "so, who was your little fan club?" "you jealous Nyss?" "you're still my husband and I will deck those little thirsty bitches" he cackled and cupped her cheek "I know, that's why I love you baby, but you don't need to worry they're only for show, I haven't and won't ever touch them" "good" he gently kissed her lips, wanting to savor the moment for as long as he could before they had to go back to 'hating each other' and he had to go back to being the womanizing husband and psychotic maniac of Gotham city and she had to go back to being the guilty cheating alcoholic wife.

He brushed her hair behind her ear and looked into her eyes "you're so perfect baby, I'm so sorry that this is happening" "I won't ever let anyone hurt my family, if this is what has to happen to keep them safe, then so be it" "the kids can't know, not until this is over for good, I would never forgive myself if anything ever happened to the kids because of our past mistakes" "I know, it needs to be believable, I just miss you so much and the only moments we get together are we're either 'fighting' or we're having secret rendezvous like this" "it won't be forever baby, I promise" "I know, I love you Jerome" "I love you too, Nyss" he kissed her lips again but the more he kissed her the further they fell into the kiss and the deeper it got until he was slipping her dress off and she was ripping his shirt open, they were breaking their own rules they had set to keep themselves safe, but it had been a year since they were intimate and they didn't have the restraint to fight it anymore.
