"J!" I scream stomping down the wooden steps angrily. "Where the fuck are you!?"i growl out annoyed. I was fuming enraged and ready to strangle his pale neck. Not only was i woken up by loud banging noises but when i looked up jokers goons had broke my door and ontop of that the boxes they had loudly dropped on the floor heald all my clothes hair and make up products from my place.

"And the princess arrives" i heard his nasaly voice snark as if somethings funny and i go to attack him when he noticed and grabbed my arms smiling.

"What the fuck j?! Why is all my stuff here and not in my apartment?" I scream pulling my arms away from him angrily.

"What do you mean doll?" He ask with a smug smirk on his face. He knew exactly what i ment.

"This is kidnapping! I cant stay here i have a life!" I snap at him angrily but he snorts.

"That boring ass life? Yeah right! I did you a favor You should say thanks instead of all that annoying nagg-" before he could finish the palm of my hand met his face faster then he could stop it. I was roughly pushed up against the wall and out of inpact my eyes shut.

"Youre a real pain in the ass you know that?" He growled in my face standing so close i could feel his body heat and smell his cologne. Opening my eyes it like im no longer standing in the living room with joker but the middle of the street. Im standing in a black dress with high heeled ankled boots and hes in a shiny purple car angrily growling.

"You you you youre a real pain in the ass" he says climbing out and slamming the door but i blink and the scene changes back to joker standing to close in my personal space. I push him out of my way after sending him a angry glare and stomping over to the kitchen when i feel his eyes on me.

"I may be a pain in the ass but you keep stairing at mine" i snap making him chuckle as he sits down while i make my breakfast of strawberry waffles bacon sausage a omelet and croissants.

"Youre going to eat all that?" I hear joker ask and i glare at him sitting my plate down along with the bottle of syrup and orange juice. Drenching all my food in the syrup i watch how he looks in disgust because i know he hates when his food touches and keep eye contact shoving a big forkful in my mouth.

"Hey boss everything is set for tonight" a guy says comming up to joker with a ipad in his hand.

"Whats tonight?" I ask nosily but they both ignore me and i glare at joker who im sure feels it by the way he cocked his head slightly towards me. They begin going into a full blown conversation leaving me left out as i eat my breakfast and glare at the back of jokers head. Nothing they were talking about even made sense! The guy finally walks away and jokers attention is back on me. "So i guess since you kidnapped me that i have to stay here all miserable and never see day light again" i sigh dramatically but he just rolls his eyes walking over to me stealing the last bacon off my plate earning a glare and almost another slap in the face.

"How about i take you with me, hmm? Show you some real fun" he smirks and i smile.

"Ok but you have to wash the dishes i smirk running off leaving my plate on the table and dashing up the stairs to pick out a outfit excitedly. After spending a hour in the shower 2 hours on hair and another hour on makeup i lay 4 outfit possibilities

I cant decide between the champagne colored mid thigh length silk dress or the cherry red knee length with a deep v neck that reaches right above my belly button or the white tight body dress with fishnet tights.

"Hey ash i-" i turn around seeing joker standing in the door way dressed in a suit with his burgundy shirt unbuttoned tattoos on display and his mouth hanging open as he eyed my body.

"See something you like?" I smirk playfully knowing hes admiring the lingerie set i have on by the way his eyes keep glancing over my body.

"Have you been gaining weight?" He ask and i scowl.

"First you say i eat to much now you ask me that, i must be getting fat" i huff feeling slightly less confident about my body.

"In all the right places" he says swiftly but before i could reply hes talking about something else. "Its almost 9 and you still arent dressed" he huffs annoyed sitting down on the bed.

"Ok ill only be 5 minutes" i lie holding up the outfit choices.

"Im not choosing just pick one and come the hell on" he huffs but i stomp my foot with a pout making him smirk. I wait for a smart remark but it never comes. "I like the brownish one but i like the tights" he finally says and i scowl.

"They dont go together or ill look too slutty" i inform before slipping on the the champagne colored dress making joker groan in disapointment and i smile feeling my confidence go up. As i adjust my hair i begin to think why i was so comfortable in just underwear infront of him? I mean i was very confident with my body and i loved the jaw dropping effect it had on him and how he couldnt keep his eyes off me or even stare at one part to long because he began admiring another part gosh why was i even romantisizing attention from a psychopath.

Turning around i grab a purse and face him seeing him tap away on his phone with his pinky pulling at his bottom lip showing off his silver teeth and i feel my body heating up. I think i just needed some fresh air. "Are you checking me out?" He teases and i feel...nervous?

"Stay close and dont wander" he says roughly in my ear and i nod as we walk into the club with his arm around my waist the music gets louder as we walk in and i feel my heart pounding as i realize its the same club i passed out in a few weeks ago. Everything here feels...familiar. Joker pulls me to a more secluded section and i notice there are 4 other guys in the section all eyeing me like predators. "Sight for sore eyes, isnt she?" Joker directs to the men twirling me in a circle and i furrow my eyebrows in confusion. , like im some damn trophee you show off to your limp dick friends. When he sits down he pulls me into his lap wraping his arm tightly around my waist so i couldnt move. Listening to their conversation was so boring just a bunch of guys kissing eachothers ass and every time i shifted his grip tightened.

"Your girl doesnt look to pleased to be here" one man notices, but of course he does hes been watching me since we got in, and wasnt even listening.

"Im not. I came to watch him do buisness not listen to a bunch of guys sweet talk him," i say standing up "im going to the bar j, i might bring you back something since the drink they left for you is still slightly fizzing" i notify before leaving a kiss on his cheek and walking out with a sway in my hips.

"What can i get for little lady?" The bartender ask and i look at all the bottles behind the bar but for some reason im instantly turned off and just ask for a coke. "not a problem" he winks sliding me a can of coke and a cup of ice.

"Well i came over here to flirt with you but i guess the bartender beat me to it" a deep voice says and i turn my head slightly to see a guy with olive skin green eyes and black hair sitting on the stool next to me. He was cute but i could tell he wasnt my type, but theres nothing wrong with a little innocent flirting.

"Oh really?" I smirk sipping my soda and he smiles. "Well i think youre going to have better game he gave me a can of soda and called me little lady, think you could beat that?" I tease and he lets out a laugh crossing his arms.

"Competition is tough these days, but if the prize is you its definately worth the shot" he winks and i let out a flirtatious giggle as i set my soda back down on the counter. "Even your laugh is gorgeous" he mumbles and i send him a sly wink.

"Im sorry i didnt even introduce myself, devin," he finally introduces and i nod.

"Ashley" i lie, it was close enough to my real name but if he was to tell people he met a girl name ashton in the jokers club im pretty sure it would raise suspicion since im "missing" and he probably did it.

"Ok playboy youve kept me entertained now lets see if you can keep up" i say hearing a rihanna song come on and strutting on the dance floor with devin in tow. His hands instantly find my waist and pull me close to him swaying his hips to the rhythym and im suprised he can keep up not missing a beat. Slowly i begin to let loose and enjoy myself ignoring my concious telling me how wrong this was...how wrong he was. Before i could think about it anymore hes torn away from me and i turn around seeing a fuming joker. He had a gun aimed at the guy and i gasped running to grab his arm.

"J stop! What the hell is your problem" i snap grabbing his arm and he laughs but its nothing commical about it.

"Me? Problem? What the hell do you think your doing grinding your ass all over this limp dick little boy?!" He growls in my face with a glare thats easily returned. Who the hell did he think he was!

"i cant do what i want, when i want, with who i want.." I begin making him let out a angry growl but it fuels fire and i smirk.

"Not with these boys you cant" he demands letting out rough angry pants but i roll my eyes.

"i snap angrily but he roughly grabs my upper arm pulling me to him with bruising force and i wince but he doesnt notice because hes quick with another response.

"I'd watch that pretty little mouth of yours doll, all that chit chats gunna get you HURT" he emphasises gripping my arm tighter but i glare pushing him off and walking to the strippers cage. If dancing on a guy made him mad i wonder how angry he'll be that im dancing for other guys. The dj puts on dont own me by g eazy and grace and i smirk twirling around the metal chain keeping eye contact with him as i dip grind and roll my hips seductively to the music. I could feel my smirk growing as i heard wolf whistles and guys began throwing money even though i hadnt taken any clothes off. Jokers eye twitched and i watched as he walked over to the sound system pulling a cord which turned off all the music making groans sound out through the club.

My smirk never fell off my face though. There was a few things joker didnt know about me 1 being this was my favorite song so i knew every word and 2 i could sing very VERY well, so when i opened my mouth to belt out the rest of the song as i continued to dance earning more cheers. When the song was over i did a small curtsy and jumped out the cage and walked past joker with a wide grin.

"Why so...serious J? Arent you going to congratulate me on the good job i did?" I ask teasingly returning to the bar. As i become surrounded by a few guys he storms out to the back but i pay him no mind. He's kept me trapped in his warehouse turned house i was enjoying the company of others. Except i wasnt. When i spoke to the people surrounding me it was only cause they wanted something from me. A chance to work here, some of the money i had just made dancing in the cage or just the oppurtunity to say they were my friend. Even though me and joker argued...ALOT, when we spoke it was genuine, intellectual and raw and right now thats all i craved. I excuse myself much to their dissapointment but i easily lie promising my return.

Walking through the club i find a guy with a panda mask and stop him asking of jokers whereabouts which he shrugs to saying he hasnt been seen for 15 minutes but his car was still here so he didnt leave. Sighing i walk towards the back when i notice a door cracked open and shadows moving. Me being nosy decided it was best to check it out when i step out the first thing i realize is blood. Theres two people fighting or more like one guy beating the hell out of the other and i decide its none of my buisness and turn to head inside when something catches my eye. A gold ruby encrusted gun. Picking it up i shove it into the top of my knee high boots whena growling sound makes my blood run cold because i only knew one man that growled and he was the one getting the life beat out of him.

Hearing groaning as i walk down the hall i pick up my pace seeing joker sitting up-or a poor attempt at it. I quickly rush over to him pushing him back to lay down.

"What the hell do you think your doing?" I snap rhetorically but he laughs which turns into coughing and a little blood comes out but i use the damp washcloth to wipe it and he pushes my hand away in confusion with a slight glare. "J youre bleeding everywhere so much i dont even know where the cuts begin and if it wasnt for me swinging a pipe at the back of whoevers head youve royaly pissed off this time then youd be dead in some ditch or worse back in arkham now stop being a ass for 5 fucking minutes and let me help you" i snap angrily and he sighs leaning back. Putting the first aid kit down and the washcloth on the nightstand i rip off his shirt and gasp seeing all the blood that coated his pale skin like a second shirt.

"Youre stairing doll" he wheezes.

"It amazes me how you find a way to still be an ass even on the brink of unconciousness" i breath out gently touching the washcloth to his skin watching him flinch when i touch a cut. "Ive never actually seen you in pain or hurt this badly, im worried about you" i admit softly and he humms.

"I must be hallucinating" he coughs and i let out a small laugh as i continue to wipe off the blood.

"Always with the dramatics" i smile and its his turn to laugh. "You arent that bad when you are being nice"i admitt earning a eye roll and he humms again. A silence falls between us and i leave it letting joker relax as i begin to sanitize then thread the needle before stitching him up and he doesnt move an inch except to play with the ends of my hair.

After i finish the last stitch and covering a few small cuts with band-aids i notice he's still not moving just quiet making me smile as i grab all the stuff and when im halfway out the room i smirk. "Next time you pretend to sleep you should know you arent a quiet sleeper" i giggle and watch as his lips twitch into a smile and i leave to put the stuff away and when i return to the room hes typing away on the tablet the bright light being the only source of light except the moonlight. Slipping off the dress i slide into one of his t-shirts and climb into the bed watching him take slow rough breaths.

"Your stairing again" he mumbles not taking his eyes off the tablet but i keep stairing waiting for him to give me his full attention. His eyes flicker over to me and a smirk grows on his face as he turns back to his tablet. "Your crush on me is very obvious doll, you stare alot and you kissed me earlier" he smirks and i smirk back he always wanted to joke like i couldnt joke or tease back.

"Oh please it was just a kiss on the cheek and besides i gave another guy alot more" i lie but his face hardens.

"What? Why!" He ask irritably and i try to hold in the laugh.

"Maybe its you who has the crush on me joker, getting so excited over me kissing you on the cheek and jealous over another guy kissing me and dancing on me" i smirk realizing his growing attitude.

"I am not jealous" he scoffs and i playfully roll my eyes, he didnt deny having a crush on me though. "Why are you being so annoying tonight?"he ask but i shrug with a smile holding something up i knew would catch his attention.

"I found this beautiful gun on the ground all by its lonesome" i sigh and he snorts.

"Youre not keeping it ashton" he says automatically earning a glare. He was barely paying me any attention so i snatched the tablet out of his hand making him tackle me to get it back. He didnt realize the position we were in, or the fact that he was stradling me but i did. I could feel EVERY inch of him pressed against me and his breath against my lips making me freeze. He invaded all of my senses and i..i liked it. The way his body molded into mine the way he smelled his ragged breaths, it was like i my body jumped to life. He seemed to not have noticed being so focus on the tablet until his eyes finally met mine. His eyes widened the tiniest bit and his mouth opened to say something but a door slamming open made us both look up as a pale guy with dark hair dark brown eyes and a knowing smirk on his face.

Joker growled as i pushed him off of me making his precious tablet fall but i couldnt care less i was more curious about the guy in the doorway. He was obviously very important to joker if he hadnt put a bullet in his head for barging in, and the guy seemed comfortable not scared as he stood there smirking. I was very curious as to who he was.

"One of these days your bad timing will get you killed,
