A/N: I'm sorry it took me awhile to update. I had tons of stuff to do. I also apologize for the shortness of this story because I ran out of ideas on how to finish this in a fluffy way. This is the last chapter of the story (and again, I apologize for the shortness of the story). I'll be working on "Blind as a Bat" and I promise that it will be longer and it will have more chapters. I hope you guys leave reviews and enjoy the story! - B
Under Control
BruceDiana
Chapter 3
Because I've kept my heart under control
Oh but lately all this time has taken its toll
Said I tried to but I can't hold back what's deep in my soul
So darling please forgive me
I want you and you'll just have to know
Bruce inwardly took a deep breath and tried to come up with words to say to her, but his brain began rusting up.
Diana gazed at him patiently, her azure eyes piercing his with ruby lips curving up into a smile. Tearing her gaze away from his, she turned to Mr. T, "I'm heading out, Mr. T. I'll come back as soon as I can."
Mr. T nodded at her, "Sure thing, Diana. Green Arrow's going to be here in a few minutes. You can take all the time you need." Mr. T nodded at Bruce who replied with the same gesture.
Diana took Batman's gloved hand and led him to the elevators. He wondered where he was going to take her and why he was letting her lead him.
She pressed the button that led to the upper deck of the watchtower, the observatory.
The ride was torturous, the silence between them was deafening.
Bruce turned his head a bit and saw Diana with a smiling look on her face as she gazed upon the elevator monitor.
Without looking back at him, Diana gave his hand a quick squeeze. He had not noticed that her hand was still entwined with his. It felt too natural for him as though he had gotten used to it.
The elevator dinged softly as it arrived in the observatory deck of the watchtower.
The observatory had a dome-shaped ceiling with glass panels that gave a wonderful view of the stars that were endless in space.
Diana left his side and went to the light switches. Bruce followed where she headed, watching her bare back as he imagined himself caressing it.
The dimmed lights turned on, the stars still shining bright from above them.
He watched as Diana strode towards a small wooden bench meant for two people. She smiled at him as she patted the empty space beside her. Without a word, he strode towards her and sat down beside her silently.
"What would you like to talk about, Bruce?" She asked as she reached her hands for the sides of his cowl. He immediately grabbed both of her soft hands, silently telling her that it was not safe.
"Don't worry. I've disabled the cameras here. I remember a certain person teach me how," Diana smirked, her eyes gazing at him with a playful smirk.
Bruce smiled back, remembering a few months ago that he taught her certain keystrokes for disabling cameras in certain areas of the watchtower.
With that, she pushed off his cowl revealing to her the face of the handsome man she fell in love with.
"What do we need to talk to about?" She asked again, running her hand on his gloved hands.
He smiled at how tingling her caresses felt and ending her agony when he took off both gloves.
"Us," he spoke almost inaudibly.
That made Diana's heart jump.
She fell silent, having no idea as to how she was going to reply to him.
"It's been a while, Diana," Bruce paused, "this cat and mouse game we're in." His right hand rested by the bench, inches behind her.
Diana clutched his hand, silently feeling it callousness against her soft touch, "Have you gone tired of it?" Her voice sounded sad, but he could not see her face since she was looking down.
He shook his head, "No, I'm not, but I want it to end."
Diana gazed up, her eyes expressing wonder and confusion at the same time.
Bruce sighed heavily.
"I want you, Princess."
His piercing azure eyes gazed steadily with hers, waiting for her to respond.
"I've waited for so long, Bruce," Diana replied, leaning forwards as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissing him with every fiber of her being.
Her lips felt soft against his as he savored the silent moment between them. Diana moved closer to him, crawling to him. Bruce clutched her by the waist, his other arm supporting him.
Bruce had a bigger frame compared to the bench that soon enough, they fell on the ground with Bruce landing on his back. He gave a small chuckle as Diana hovered above him, a worried look on her face.
"Bruce? Are you alright?" Her hands rested on his Kevlar-covered chest, running upwards to caress his face, feeling his stubble that tickled her.
"Yes, although I can't say the same to you," he retorted before surprisingly turning the tables, making Diana lay on her back while his big frame hovered above her.
"It took you this long to admit, Bruce," She gazed at him, a beautiful smile curving up her ruby lips.
He smiled back, leaning forward until his lips drifted merely inches from hers, "You seduced me, Princess. You know how irresistible you can be at times."
"And so the Dark Knight of Gotham grows weak on the knees at my presence. That is certainly an achievement I've very proud of," Diana spoke before she chuckled proudly.
Bruce silenced her when his lips locked with hers. He felt her kiss back when she pulled him closer to her.
When they pulled back to catch their breath, Diana stared at him longingly. Bruce smiled before lying down next to her and gazed up at the numerous stars beyond the glass panels of the dome ceiling.
"The stars look amazing. Don't you think so, Bruce?" Diana asked, turning her head a bit to see Bruce's dimly lit face.
"Yes, they do, just like you," He gazed back at her and cupped her cheek with his free hand.
Diana touches the hand he laid on her cheek, closing her eyes at the feel of its warmth, "I love you, Bruce," she breathed out.
"I do too, Princess, for quite awhile now."
The two of them simply enjoyed the silence of the observatory, gazing at the stars that twinkled above them.
Finally, all the walls Bruce built between crumbled and he finally let himself love Diana like how he had for so many years.
