Quote
Lois' tight embrace had quickly progressed into a very
passionate kiss. Her renowned skittishness not
withstanding, Lois had been the one to turn up the heat.
Clark began to wonder if his sense of urgency had
transferred itself to Lois through some bizarre romantic
osmosis.

She finally broke the kiss. "Sorry," she panted, "I don't
know what came over me."

"Well," Clark replied and tried to swallow, "whatever it
was, I approve."

Lois laughed breathlessly. "Really?"

Clark nodded, trying to catch his breath. "Lois, if you
have to ask, I must be doing something wrong."

"No," she smiled, "you seem to be doing everything just
right."

"Thank you," he said softly and kissed her again. "But
could I ask you a personal question?"

Lois cinched up her grasp on his neck. "Anything."

"You were kidding before about that whole 'being born a
male' thing, right?" he teased.

To Clark's surprise, Lois didn't laugh, she just brought
her mouth closer to his. "There's one way to find out."
