Shut Me Up - Jerome Valeska x Female Reader | Part 4

Summary: You hold up your end of the bargain and meet Jerome at the docks on the outskirts of the city, seeing him for who he really is.

Warnings: Sexual themes

The time had finally come for you to meet Jerome.

After waiting a long 24 hours for the meeting to come up, you had been sick with anxiety the whole time. You managed to sneak out without Alfred or Bruce knowing and grabbed a Taxi to arrive at the docks just in time for midnight.

It was cold out on the docks as you wandered through the halls made up of large storage crates and came upon the edge of the dock where a black Mercedes awaited, its engine still on but no one in the car. Your eyes drifted to the figure sitting down on the ground, back leaning on the tire of the car.

Jerome.

You swallowed your pride and wrapped your jacket tighter around your body, shivering with not only the cold but the nerves coursing through your body. You kept your eyes on him as he looked up when your footstep was a bit too loud, eyes searching and immediately landing on you. A twinkle was in his eye as a pleased grin spread out on his face, standing up and dusting himself off before stuffing his hands in his jacket pockets and leaning against the car. He was waiting for you to approach him, eyes looking you up and down like a predator when you decided to inch closer and closer to him.

You looked out onto the waters surface, inhaling the salty sea air and feeling your hair blow in the wind softly before you returned your gaze to Jerome.

“I hoped it would be a little warmer” Was the first thing you said, teeth chattering and eyes focused on him as he managed a small chuckle.

“Not much warmth in Gotham, gorgeous” His voice was so much nicer in person than you remembered, maybe it was because this time you actually wanted to hear it. It sounded as comforting as the first time you spoke to him, only now you weren’t as smitten with him, or at least you tried not to be.

You weren’t sure where to start speaking when you got close enough to him, your bodies inches away but still far enough for you to turn on your foot and run away. Jerome unfolded one of his arms and reached up to cup your cheek, the pale moonlight lighting up the left side of his face as his eyes gleamed down at yours. He didn’t squeeze or grab it, he just touched it like it were a piece of glass. His hands were oddly warm, contrasting against the ice of your skin and causing you to unconsciously lean towards it. There was a silent conversation going on between the both of you, your eyes doing all the talking as Jerome drifted his gaze to your lips but quickly back up to your eyes.

“I’m glad you could meet me” He said, no longer sounding like the maniac you were used to on the phone the day before. He sounded so genuine, his tone so soft and delicate as if he were speaking to a baby. You tried not let him get to you but most of you wanted to dive into this feeling you were experiencing and never return to the surface.

“Like I said, I wanted to see you, not separated by a wall of glass or in the company or others like the times before” Your voice was weak but enough for Jerome to hear, his fingers trailed on your cheek some more and he kept his hand there for the time being, but you didn’t mind.

Humming, Jerome brushed the hair away from your shoulder and let his finger trail a pathway down the side of your neck. You shivered in response, the ticklish feeling of his fingertip against your skin leaving scars that only you could see, scars that proved he was here and he was touching you. You closed your eyes momentarily, sighing to yourself before feeling Jerome’s fingers lift your chin up to meet his gaze once more.

“You’re the only person around here that makes me feel a little sane... it’s... weird” Jerome frowned but he didn’t look frustrated nor angry, he seemed a little confused. Your heart jumped at his words, eyes widening only slightly as you took a step closer to him so you were now inches apart.

“Is that a good thing?” Your voice was barely above a whisper, mingled in with the wind that brushed past the both of you. You were so close to Jerome you could feel his body heat, warming you up and making you feel less and less frightened the more seconds that went by.

“Good or bad, it’s nice” He mumbled, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear before taking out his other hand and wrapping it around your waist.

“Glad i can provide” You smiled, placing your hands on his chest and leaning on him when you got close enough, your head coming down to rest on his chest as his arms held you close.

This felt so surreal, you were expecting to wake up in the comforts of your room back at the Wayne manor and realise this was all some weird dream. But it wasn’t, you’d been pinching yourself the way down to the docks and realised this was actually happening. You weren’t sure if you should be this close to Jerome, at this point he was close to kissing you and that was more than dangerous. You remembered your dad and Leslie and how they felt when they realised Jerome was out, they feared for your safety but here you were in the arms of a man you not only felt intrigued by, but also loved. Jerome may not have been the petrified boy you met all those weeks ago, but right now he wasn’t that maniac the news made him out to be. If anything you felt that he was a little misunderstood, his mother constantly abused him and he didn’t have a father growing up, so of course he was dysfunctional. Out of all the things you were relieved to be about, it was the fact you made him feel sane, even if it was just the smallest bit. Anything counted at this point.

Leaning back from Jerome’s chest, you looked at him and cupped his face, unable to stop yourself as you pressed your lips against his as soft as you could. Jerome froze in his spot and his grip on your waist tightened, his fingers gripping onto the material of your jacket. His lips were so warm against yours, moving at a pace that the both of you were comfortable with the deeper the kiss got. You wrapped your arms around Jerome’s neck and brought him closer, opening your mouth to grant him access to taking things a step further. He made a small noise, sounding like a whimper, before slipping his tongue in your mouth and switching positions so you were pinned against the car.

Even though he showed dominance, he was still very gentle with you and removed his arms from your waist, taking yours from his neck and pinning time to the car with little to no force. You relaxed as the kiss progressed and soon you found yourself wanting more. You knew this was at the point of no return, you’d gotten too far to turn around and walk out. For the first time in your life you were experiencing emotions, but not in their purest form. Jerome made you feel like your heart was about to stop 24/7, he kept you hot on your toes and plagued your mind ever since the two of you met. You were utterly fascinated by him, killer or not.

You grabbed onto the handle of the backseat of the car and opened it, alerting Jerome and causing him to pull away from your lips. He looked at the opened car door and back to you, raising a brow before smiling at you with some kind of wicked undertone.

“Are you sure you want to go that far? We only just met...” Jerome said in a joking tone, toying with the hem of your T-shirt whilst pressing a teasing kiss on your cheek. You chuckled, shrugging to yourself before opening up the door wide and getting inside.

“I’m just a little cold” You whispered, sitting at the other side of the car and curling your legs up to your chest to provide some heat. You weren’t wrong, it was bitterly chilly on the docks and Jerome could understand why you were cold, compared to him who somehow wasn’t cold at all. The car was warm, the engine was on and you rubbed your hands together to get more heat. Getting comfortable beside you, Jerome took your hands in his and stretched his sleeves out a bit so he could hide your hands in the sleeves with his. You looked up at him with a shy smile and shuffles closer to him, your head touching and lips inches away. Jerome stole a kiss from you unexpectedly but you done the same to him, fighting back a giggle as he grinned at you with sincerity.

“You can hug me if you’re still cold, I can hide you in my jacket” He smirked teasingly, but you rolled your eyes and nodded your head at his suggestion. Jerome stretched out his jacket and you wrapped your arms around his waist, leaning back against the car seat with him and resting your cheek on his shoulder. Jerome moved one arm around your shoulder, the other one still holding yours to try and warm them up. There was a soothing silence between you in the car, the radio was turned on but at a very low volume so you could vaguely hear the voices of news reporters or the music channels.

“You wanna get up to something?” Jerome asked suddenly, causing you to lift your head from his shoulder and turn to look at him with a lifted brow.

“Like what?” You tilted your head to the side.

“Oh, I dunno... I got a few ideas up my sleeve to warm you up?” Jerome bit his lip to stop himself from smirking but you knew what he was getting at. You smiled, a deep blush devouring your face as you reached a hand up to cup Jerome’s face, your palm against his sharp jaw and feeling it clench underneath your touch.

“What do you have in mind?” You whispered, looking at him with intrigue and feeling your pulse pick up when he placed a hand on your thigh and captured your lips with his. You kissed him back immediately and moved your hand from his face to his hair, tangling your fingers in his fiery locks and tugging on them gently the deeper the kiss got.

“I think you know” Jerome mumbled after biting your lip, his breath hot on your lips and eyes darkening with desire. You nodded once, pulling on his hair harder than before and earning a low grunt from him as he frowned.

“Watch it doll, if you keep that behaviour up I won’t play nice” The red head warned you with a glare, his chest rising up and down at a fairly quick pace due to how close you were to him.

“Make me” You challenged, tugging on his hair once more and smirking to yourself. In a complete flash, Jerome grabbed you and dragged you down on the car seat, your wrists held by one of his hands above your head whereas the other wrapped itself around your throat, not tight but enough to scare you.

“Anything else to say?” Jerome looked down at you with an intimidating expression, but you didn’t flinch. Smiling, you struggled against his hands that beld your wrists and let out a small noise as his hand tightened around your neck.

“Has anyone ever told you you’re really sexy?” You flattered him, your voice breathless as you tried not to blush so much, your face felt like it was on fire. Jerome blinked with wide eyes but soon a smile spread over his face, and not the crazy kind.

“Likewise doll, now lets get you warmed up” Was the last thing Jerome said beside diving down and biting your neck.

-

You didn’t know what time it was, the sky was still dark but you could barely see anything outside due to the steamy windows of the car. It smelled of sweat and musk, the temperature inside was boiling and you were more than warmed up. You lay on the car seat, same position as before, with no top or bra on. Your hair was all over the place, some strands even stuck to your face with sweat.

Jerome was sitting up, your legs draped over his lap as he trailed small patterns onto your skin to try and calm you down and hopefully steady your breathing. You stared at the car ceiling with droopy, half shut eyes, unable to focus on anything but the feeling of exhaustion. You were going to sleep well when you got back to the Wayne Manor, that’s for sure.

“Feeling alright, doll?” Jerome asked, sounding a bit out of breath as he reached a hand up to touch the skin of your tummy. You sensed at the unexpected interaction but calmed down when you realised he was just stroking your skin to calm you down.

“Yeah, just... really worn out” You chuckled, wiping the sweat from your forehead and placing your hand ontop of Jerome’s. The red head looked at you for a second with a small smile on his face, like he was in deep thought about you. You didn’t comment and instead tried sitting up, fighting the numbness of your legs and groaning as you shifted your back against the car door.

“I have to get back before everyone wakes up” You whined, grabbing your bra from the car floor and clumsily slipping it over your arms and clipping it behind your back carelessly. Jerome nodded his head, watching you adjust your chest into your bra and grinning to himself as he picked up his shirt, sliding into it and buttoning it up halfway before looking back to you and seeing that you too had put your shirt on. You looked a mess, hair all over the place and eyes glassy from the activities that occurred moments before. Your lips were swollen due to the kisses he gave you, and your torso was covered in hickey’s and even teeth marks. You had a noticeable one on your neck that wasn’t covered by your shirt but right now you didn’t care.

“Just so you know,” Jerome spoke up but not too loud just in case he scared you. He ran a hand through his red locks and sent a smile your way.

“I don’t want this to be a one time thing” He continued, his gaze shifting away from yours as if he was embarrassed about confessing it, but you quickly shuffled over beside him and flung an arm around his shoulder.

“I’m not going anywhere, but do me a favour and try not to get into too much trouble? My dads frantic about catching you and I don’t want you dead or arrested” You brushed the hair away from his face and pressed a kiss on the top of his head.

“Can’t promise anything” Jerome winked, adjusting his shirt before opening up his car door to let some cold air in. Startled by the bitter ice cold weather from outside, you put on your jacket and held it close to you.

“Fine, just don’t let my dad catch you” You sent him a playful look made him roll his eyes and wave off your comment. Giggling, you made your way out of the car very carefully and made sure not to fall over. Your legs almost gave in at first and if it wasn’t for Jerome’s arm supporting you, you would’ve fallen over.

“You sure you don’t want me to drive home?” He raised a brow, looking out at the sky and seeing the suns light peek up but there was no sight of the massive yellow glowing ball in the sky just yet. You still had time.

“It’s fine, I’ll catch a cab” You shook your head, raising a hand up to dismiss his offer but he didn’t seem pleased. Even so, he respected your choice and wrapped his arms around your waist, holding you close to him.

“When will i next see you?” He asked curiously, his blue eyes twinkling even though the moon wasn’t visible from where you were on the docks. You leaned close to touch your nose with his and sighed.

“I have no idea, I’m under loads of supervision so it’ll be tricky finding another time” You pursed your lips but Jerome didn’t seem to be disappointed. He leaned up and kissed your head, his hands gripping loosely at your shoulders.

“That’s okay, I’m sure my girlfriend has her priorities” He replied.

“Girlfriend?” You raised a brow.

“Yes, I mean, if that’s what you want” Jerome shrugged, his face inches away from yours but you could perfectly see the smile on his face.

“Fine by me” You giggled, leaning forward and kissing him passionately. Eventually, you had to bid farewell to him and watched him drive off back the way he came on the docks, his car light disappearing into the darkness and leaving you alone to look out at the surface of the water.

You didn’t return to the Wayne Manor until 3 hours later.
