When it seemed that the next step would be more enjoyable in the bedroom, Clark pulled away just enough to take Lois by the hand and lead the way. They were almost at the doorway when a loud beeping noise made both of them jump.
Wait a minute, I didn't know Jimmy Olsen was appearing at this point in the fic!
"Oh, no," she agreed, grasping him around the neck and placing her own kisses wherever she could reach, "definitely not to sleep."

Clark was the first one awake in the morning.
I sense the need for an nfic chapter right where those three little asterisks were...
Clark was especially nervous about shaving while Lois was in the room. One wrong move and she could end up with a serious burn.
You know, that's a really good point. And gee, wasn't that glossed over in the TV show episode!
Lois placed her hands over his where they rested at her waist. The tender gesture belied her teasing words. "Oh, believe me, Kent, if you were only my undercover work partner, you would have slept alone last night. On that sofa in the living room."
Tee-hee-hee!
"Exactly. If you call Luthor and tell him that an anonymous source--that would be me--told you about Roarke's planned sabotage, Luthor can have his entire system checked for tampering. Meanwhile, you can tell Bill Henderson that the same anonymous source tipped you off about the files. Between your tip, whatever tampering evidence Luthor finds, and the tapes from last night, the police have got probable cause to search that office. There's no need for us to go in there. Meanwhile, we can keep the surveillance operation going here in case anything else comes up before the police get there."
Gosh, that makes so much more sense! It's (gasp) logical! And Superman doesn't have to dig a big trench...
