Tell Clark ALL About It

Clark did carry her to bed. Sat beside her as she climbed over him, telling him about what had happened that night. He was a good listener. Paid attention, ignored her wandering hands, the gentle shedding of clothes, even the warm kisses on his neck. Asked questions, tried to keep her on task.

"Lois," he said at last, as the reporter sat in his lap in just her bra and pants, one hand cupping his butt, the other trying and somehow failing to steal his glasses. "Why don't you go into the bathroom and...remove the bottle."

"That's a GOOD idea!" Lois laughed, and booped the man's nose. It was a very boopable nose. She didn't know why she hadn't realized that before. Then for a moment she got very serious.

"You'll still be here when I get out, won't you Smallville?" she said, bringing her face close to his.

"Yes Lois," he promised. "I'll be right here. I won't leave you alone in this state."

He could have dodged the kiss, like he had all the others. This time he didn't. The warm lips caught him full on the mouth. Lois found herself closing her eyes, hands draped around his neck. Slowly...like a glacier melting...she felt him respond, just a little. His lips parted. Their tongues met, just a little. Clark Kent tasted like the wind on a hot summer day.

Lois slid off and stumbled into the bathroom, leaving him blushing as he sat on her bed.

She was in the bathroom for a long time. He heard the toilet flush multiple times. The water ran in the sink. The buzz of an electric toothbrush. Clark smiled, still tasting her lips. There were things there he wasn't familiar with, couldn't analyze quite. Something tangy, beneath the ****. What had she been drinking tonight?

When the Daily Planet's greatest reporter came out, she was wearing nothing but a towel. The bottle was in her hand. Clark Kent swallowed, momentarily breathless. Lois Lane's eyes were still dilated, but her walk was steady, her skin clean, her breath fresh...

"Clark Kent," she said, putting the bottle of XXX on the bedside table. "You are overdressed for my bed."

Just like that, she let the towel fall.
