    Summary

    Clark caught up with Bruce in a blind alley.

    If he hadn't already known something was wrong, that would have been enough to make it obvious. Bruce would never have retreated into a dead end, not if he'd been in his right mind.

    But he wasn't.

    Summary

    When amateur reporter Clark Kent goes to interview arrogant billionaire Bruce Wayne, he encounters a man who's opaque, difficult, and irritatingly hot. Carefully unremarkable and usually level-headed Clark becomes uncomfortably aware he wants this man, and, despite Wayne's undeniable entitlement and seemingly deliberate jackassery, finds he is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Clark's perceptiveness, stubbornness, and persistent generosity of spirit, Wayne admits he wants him, too—but on his own terms.

    Surprised yet drawn to Wayne's singular erotic tastes, Clark hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational business, his vast wealth, his unfair attractiveness—Wayne is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When they embark on a daring, passionately physical affair, Clark discovers Bruce Wayne's secrets and explores his own dark desires.

    Summary

    The beast stared at him. Its teeth were still bared, but Clark had the dim sense that its—its heart wasn't quite in that snarl, not anymore.

    And then those red glittering eyes closed, and it muttered, as if to itself, "Unbelievable."

    Summary

    It requires every ounce of will he can bring to bear to force himself to meet Clark's eyes. Clark looks shocked; the expression is undiluted by anger or dismay, though perhaps he simply hasn't had time to grasp what just happened. His eyes are wide, round, impossibly blue. Color is rising into his cheeks. His mouth is half-open, slack, with the slightest damp shine where—

    "That was," Bruce makes himself say, and then stops. Christ, what word can he use? What adjective is there that acknowledges his trespass fully? "Inappropriate." Inadequate, but it's the best he can do, and Clark needs to hear something, needs to know Bruce recognizes his own mistake for what it is. "I apologize. I—"

    Summary

    Bruce is pushing forty. In no particular order, he has to show for it: pain in every joint; a collection of kids, two of whom aren't speaking to him at any given point; grey in his hair and more in his beard; an inch of lost height; and a love for his best friend, who doesn't return his feelings.

    When Clark is wrenched from the earth, Bruce's life flips upside down. Bruce will stop at nothing to find him.
