Oh, so sweet! (And since I haven't seen the episode, as usual, I wish you had told me more of the story, but... it's my own fault for not watching the eisode, right?
Oh, well... I guess Clark gets back his ability to control his powers, right?
)
“Lois! No!” Clark shot straight up, halting her step. “Please don't come near me. I can't bear to hurt you.”
Lois paused for a moment, locking eyes with her husband. “Lay down,” she commanded quietly.
Isn't that what you tell a puppy? Ah well... I love her commanding him.
Lois pushed back a few wayward strands of hair from his forehead and he managed a lopsided grin. “I wish I could touch you, Lois.”
Acknowledging this with only a glimmer in her eyes, Lois gently placed a hand on his flat stomach and lightly skimmed the top. Clark, shirtless, shivered slightly under the feather light touch. He started to speak, but Lois placed a light finger on his mouth. After an instant he quieted and Lois replaced her finger with her lips.
Awww, so sweet!!
She caressed his mouth softly. The gentle kiss was one of reassurance, but it still scared him. For a long moment Clark tried to refuse the kiss, to grant himself one semblance of control, but finally he relented, capturing her lips before they could dart away. Mindlessly he reached up a hand and only his extreme willpower halted it a mere millimeter off her skin. With a supreme determination, he resisted the urge to pull her closer, fully aware that he was still dangerous, a loaded gun. Even kissing was probably off limits but she felt so good…
She's torturing him! Ah, but he likes it! He loves it!
She finally pulled back, her breathing ragged as she rested her head on his shoulder. They lay like that a few moments, Clark allowing himself to be lulled slightly by the comforting, familiar weight of his wife's upper body resting across his chest.
Aaawwww!!!!
“I know it isn't, Lois. You know its killing me not to touch you back…”
Lois interrupted him, a little hurt gleaming in her eyes. “Then why were you smiling earlier?”
“I was…” Clark drifted off as his thoughts wandered. How could he explain to her what he could barely piece together in his own mind? “You see, you're the most important person in the world to me, Lois. And when I'm with you, no matter what's happening, you have this way of letting me forget.”
Adorable! *happy sigh*
“You know Clark,” she said softly, alluringly. “You pack a lot of horse sense in them tight britches.”
Oh, what a lovely married couple endearment!
“We'd better figure this thing out soon, Clark,” she said as she climbed the steps, pausing at the top.
Entranced by the seductive view his wife made, it took Clark a moment to answer.
“Hmm…? Why?”
“Because our sex life is going to be pretty dismal if we don't.” She gave him a Cheshire grin and disappeared into the bedroom.
That's sad, but so funny...
Glancing down, he smiled ruefully. He had better, anyway. Ignoring the ache, he turned over and tried to sleep.
I wonder what ache we are talking about? Maybe it's something you could only elaborate on in the nfic folder?
Sweet and lovely, Laura. I'll take it from you that Clark got his powers under control and was able to kiss and hug and make love to Lois again!
