    Summary

    Dick Grayson woke up up to the feel of kisses being peppered over his neck, pointy teeth grazing gently at his skin.

    As his mind slowly rose to conscious, he became aware of that amazing musk and bergamot scent, of the heavy weight on top of him, of that stubble he adored so much rubbing against his skin, of the feel of a tongue tracing his collarbone, of hands sandwiched between his rear and the mattress, of the crotch gently — unconsciously, instinctively — grinding against his hips.

    It was his favorite form of waking up.

    Summary

    Boravia’s grand casino, once a hotbed of European crime, has reopened with a high-stakes poker tournament Bruce Wayne suspects may be the work of Roulette. In a country where superheroes are banned, the only way to foil a criminal conspiracy is to enter the tournament as himself, and play his way up to the top.

    But not just any card-playing billionaire can get his name on the list. The real price of admission is a lot higher than the two million dollar buy-in. You also need a secret to offer up as your stake. A dirty one. The kind a man like Bruce Wayne would pay dearly to keep quiet.

    Enter Dick Grayson.

    Though he agrees to accompany Bruce to the tournament in the guise of his illicit lover, to help him fake a blackmail-worthy secret besides the one with masks and capes, Dick's not wild about spending so much time with his old friend in flirtatious playboy mode; but somehow it's harder than expected to watch Bruce direct that legendary charisma at other people, and Dick doesn't quite know why. Over the course of four days, what began as a straightforward undercover job devolves into a messy emotional tangle which forces both men to confront truths they’ve kept hidden for years . . . even from themselves.

    Summary

    “Dick,” he tried to keep his voice steady. He brought all of the darkness and steel of Batman into his tone, yet Dick could still see he was choking. “There are thing that must go unspoken.”

    “And it will,” Dick said. “After today, we won’t ever talk about it again, Bruce. Nothing between us has to change.”

    “Speaking what must not be said already changes everything. Go down this path, and we can’t turn back. No matter what we do, it will already be too late.”

    “No, it won’t!”

    “It will!” Bruce ran a frustrated hand through his hair. “Don’t you see? It’s already changing things now!”

    Silence. Dick didn’t deny it. For a moment, Bruce thought maybe he would back down.

    He should have known better.

    OR

    The truth has always gone unspoken. Bruce likes it that way. Dick does not.
