I love how carefully you showed us the "emotional foreplay" to the lovemaking. You made us see and feel so clearly why it was so hard, and in the end impossible, for Lois and Clark to stay chaste that night.

But I worry about the fallout. It could be that in the morning Lois will feel that she needs to put some space between herself and Clark, and in order to do so she may accept Lex' offer and stay in his apartment. And that, of course, would be utterly disastrous. I comfort myself with the thought that you haven't posted a WHAM warning. Of course, the last part won't be up for a little while yet!
