Chris, you should know my mantra by now - I have so little time, remember? But I'm so glad to see you back with this! Really!
I loved that Lois and Clark became lovers in the previous chapter, and I was so glad that there was an nfic version, too. Now, I was so glad to see how sweetly you portrayed them as new lovers.
Clark looked at Lois lying peacefully in his arms with LabRat cuddled alongside of her. How he wished they had not made plans for this evening! He leaned down and kissed Lois’ cheek, whispering, “Honey, time to get ready for dinner. We’re already late.”
Lois opened her eyes, feeling as if she was still in the midst of a heavenly dream. She had been making love to the most handsome man in the world, who had made her feel like royalty. Could it have been real? As her eyes focused, she found herself staring at the very same man in her dreams. His eyes seemed to reflect love back at her. LabRat jumped up when he saw his mistress stirring and before she had time to dodge him, he licked her face! That brought her to reality quickly. They were late for dinner at James and Lucy’s!
Aaaawwwww.... You put such a big, big smile on my face!
“Omigod! Clark! We’re so late! Lucy’s going to kill me, and this isn’t a very good first impression for me to make with James either!” Lois shrieked, staring at the clock. “I knew we shouldn’t have … I mean, it was wonderful… but…as usual, the timing was off…but it was really … wow….” Lois trailed off with a faraway look on her face.
Clark smiled broadly. “It was *so* great, Lois… if we were never together again, it would be the best memory I’ve ever had.”
Lois blushed a bit. “You’re so sweet, Clark. I feel the same way. I thank heaven that my first time was with you.”
*happy sigh*
Out of habit, Lois closed the door for privacy so she could undress, and headed into the shower. LabRat padded over to the foot of the bathroom door entrance and lay down in front of it, anxiously waiting for Lois to reappear.
Clark smiled. “You’re *her* dog, aren’t you?” he said to LabRat. “Hey, I don’t blame you. I’m definitely “her” human.”
Clark is Lois's human!!!! I
love it!!!
“Ah, yes, you do have quite the playboy reputation, Mr. Wayne,” Clark whispered back.
“Call me Bruce, please. And I hope that I can call you Clark.”
“Of course, Bruce. And, well, I’ll let Lois answer that question. Far be it for me to speak on her behalf when it comes to love and romance. Lois, are you ‘off limits’?”
Lois was blushing wildly. Two handsome, prominent men – wanting to date *her*? She felt like she was in the twilight zone or something.
“Actually, Bruce – Clark and I are becoming quite close. So, yes, I would say that I’m ‘off limits’. But I’m extremely flattered that you asked.”
Adorable!!!
“Hello again, Lois,” Vickie purred as she slithered up to Bruce. “Hello, Mr. Kent.”
“Ms. Vale,” Clark replied. “Lois, may I see you privately?”
“Of course, Clark,” Lois replied, grateful for the save.
Gaaahh, what a woman. I mean Vicki Vale, of course. She didn't like the fact that Bruce was charmed by Lois. She "slithered" up to Bruce... I'm shuddering!
“We have to get James and Lucy alone to ask them about taking LabRat,” Clark said, after they had retreated to a private corner of the large parlor. “Plus, I wanted to give you this.” His lips pressed gently to hers. “I didn’t like seeing you talking to Bruce Wayne. You can’t believe how jealous that made me feel,” he admitted.
"Plus, I wanted to give you this," and then he kissed her... oh, I
loved it! (And that confession of jealousy wasn't bad, either!)
“Smallville, don’t worry,” Lois whispered, kissing him back. “There’s no way Bruce Wayne could ever be the hero that you are, both to me personally and to the rest of the world. But I really got a vibe that there’s a lot more to him than meets the eye. When I asked him about Batman, I got a sense that he knows who he is.”
Lois, you are probably underestimating Batman a little, even though I agree with you that Batman isn't quite the hero that Superman is.
As they approached the newlywed couple, James called out, “Hey you two! I hope you don’t mind that this was not as…. intimate… a dinner as you might have thought it would be.”
Innuendo... innuendo....
“Of course not, James. We apologize again for arriving late,” Clark replied, with a sly grin.
“You two are really a couple now, huh? I can see it in your eyes… way to go, guy!” James said, patting Clark on the back. “I know how much you wanted this.”
“Hey, can we talk to the two of you privately for a couple of minutes?” Lois interjected, blushing from overhearing the conversation of the two men.
I like the fact that she is blushing.
And Lucy and James agree to take care of LabRat.
Great chapter, Chris! I simply loved the sweetness and the WAFF in it!
