“My Queen.”

The pair were standing in the entrance hall to the Wayne Manor, plans made prior ensuring the entire property was there’s to enjoy.  There was a vibrant, warm glow to contrast against the snow that fell just out those doors; Truly it set the scene nicely.  “I may also have a perfect little spot before the fireplace prepared.”
He’s dressed in a plain white button-down shirt, sleeves rolled and his collarbone exposed the slightest bit.  The casual look is completed with a fitted pair of slacks and polished black oxford shoes.  There might also have been a santa hat somewhere just in case.
“What do you say?”

The scene was picturesque to say the least; he was good at this.

Grin widening, she traced her fingers along his waist as she made her way back around him. Against his more casual look, she had to admit she felt a tad over dressed in the black dress and heels she wore. Still, they gave her enough height that she didn’t have to crane too far when she leaned to kiss him; arms winding around his waist.

“You had me at Michael Buble...” She answered lightly “Lead the way.”

He knew her too well...should she have been worried?

Pausing in her advance on the door, she turned back to him, a feline look of assessment on her features as she planned her next move. Couldn’t scare the birdie, now could she?

Heels clicking in time with the sway of her hips, she { S L O W L Y } made her way to pace around him, that same look of assessment never leaving her features until she rounded his shoulder. Out of his direct vision, a grin cracked onto ruby lips and it was all she could do not to purr into his ear when she leaned up to ask her question.

“Is that the only offer?”

❝ the car won’t start… ❞

Selina groaned as Edward leaned through the frosted window to give her the bad news, cars were neither of their expertise but he’d insisted on trying to fix it.

To no avail evidently.

Unbuckling her seat belt, her heels clicked on the cold blacktop as she got out of the warmth and frowned up at the red light that they’d stalled at. Of course frowning would do nothing for their current situation but it gave her a moment to read the street sign and mentally assess what was within walking distance.

Alfred’s--a hole in the wall diner--was three streets up, they could wait for the tow truck there.

Plan decided, she made her way to the front of the car where Edward had returned to staring at the car’s internals helplessly. A gentle hip check pushed him out of the way enough for her to close the hood and she smiled gently.

“You get the keys, I’ll call the tow truck and then we can start walking, okay?

She held onto his hands for dear life, the long ugly scar that spoke of Hush's near decimation of her hidden beneath her robe as she took slow steps on shaking legs. It was a miracle she was alive after having her heart crushed, or perhaps it wasn't. There was no telling who had sold their soul to save her but they had her thanks.

He'd been there when she'd woken up, and after a long bout of confusion and explanation--some of which still didn't make sense--he'd brought a nurse in to check on her.

That was a week ago.

Now he was doing his best to get her up and out of the bed--much to the chagrin of others--he seemed to be the only one willing to help her. Words of encouragement came before she tripped, falling against him and biting down a whimper of pain as she did her best to regain her balance with his assistance.

"Sorry..."

“don’t laugh.”

Biting her lip at his immediate snap after stepping into the rather obvious trap and being hoisted to dangle; Selina did her best to obey--though obedience had never been her strong suit. She did her very best to force it down, they were--after all--trying to maintain the element of surprise. And when biting didn't work, she pressed her lips together and took a deep breath, trying to will the reaction away.

It was only when she felt she had a firm grip on herself once more that she answered--some seconds later.

"Maybe I should take the lead?"

💀 - Johnny was surprised to see her like this…Selina, usually so cool and coy and collected…nervous. He hugged her back with out hesitation, despite his confusion, hands moving to rest on her shoulders, pulling her back some to peer down at his thieving friend.
“Hey…” he greeted, blue eyes on her grey. “What the hell’s goin’ on? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Bottom lip catching between her teeth at his question, the feline felt her mask crack, dark grey eyes searching his for a long moment before all but collapsing against him.

"Holly's missing..." She'd told him about Holly, the girl was basically her little sister, the only thing Selina could have called a family. Selina had saved the girl once already in the last few weeks after a harsh run in with Rough Cut that hadn't ended so well for him. But Holly had the devil's luck and it seemed Rough Cut's cohorts were less than thrilled that the feline had destroyed a good portion of their business.

"No one's heard from her in a week! She hasn't been home, her apartment looks like hell and her phone was under her bed. Something's wrong, Johnny, I can feel it..." Doing her best not to panic, she was failing miserably.

Continued for @bonesandbrimstone from this

The door buzzed when he unlocked it for her and Selina was sure she'd never heard a more welcoming sound. Glancing over her shoulder at the quiet street around her once, she pushed in, closing the door behind her and making sure it was locked. And for the first time since setting out, the feline breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Six stories of stairs were passed in silence, trying to figure out what she was going to tell him--did she want him to know what was going on?--she still had no idea how to explain herself when she stopped on the uppermost landing to find him waiting for her. It was a gesture that meant more than he could have known and with no hesitation she stepped into his arms and caught him in a grateful hug.

Eddie‌:

               It somehow was not a YES or no question for the female, amusing how she responded in a BRILLIANT method—— certainly Edward got his answer. Indeed, she was a bathroom singer && as soon as her vocal chord began the melody his eyelids closed gradually only to IMAGINE the scenario. Selina’s silhouette reflected the bathroom wall (she being alone inside her own) with a large brush held infront of her face, as the silhouette synced with the song. The brush held almost alike a microphone && the stunning female continued to indulge herself into the beautiful melody..
               His eyes kept shut for imagination; his senses turned weak and their nude figures almost melted against each other (which couldn’t be recognized by his sensory nerves anymore)——— the BOY simply listened to her wonderful vocal vibrations && soon deduced the language to be FRENCH. Simply fascinating and classical. Edward could identify meanings of most portions of the song as it fitted their CURRENT situation coincidentally.
              Her touches over his shoulders and perhaps his scars did go unnoticed as Edward floated in the verge of the melody. Mesmerizing, how nobody knew that the Cat could sing so well. The song came to a steady cease and when silence prevailed, he opened his eyelids to congratulate her by means of compliments. Of course she gets compliments to her beauty but PERHAPS he could be the one who would compliment her HIDDEN talent. 
              Then the genius attempted to move (it was possible when she loosened her arms around his shoulder) && re-postured sideways only to turn at the woman. SEVERAL slow blinks (of course he could see her bare form but right then it was not important) followed. “ Who would knew the burglar could SING so wonderful? ” He flashed a smug of being impressed. 

His words brought a surprised blush to her cheeks and it was all she could do to glance away, hiding the surprisingly happy smile. Truth be told the only other person she'd consented to sing for had been Holly and that had been when her would-be younger sister had been little and had nightmares. Glancing back at him, tried not to appear as off kilter as she felt for fear of killing whatever mood was between them.

Being flirtatious was easy--hell, SEX was EASY--but this? Emotions? These were difficult. Yet--

She wanted them. She wanted more than one night stands and passing flirtation. Was what she was looking for with Edward? She had nary a clue, but she was willing to find out.

"What about you, Darling?" Her voice came with a coy smile as she shifted closer to him.

"Any secret TALENTS I should know about?"
