First Comes Marriage, Then Comes Love
I love it!
It was still very early when he finished, took care of Fasa's needs, and slipped out of his chambers.
Well, so much for his happy wife. She’s going to awake alone and wonder what happened to him and be defensive.
He’s like a little boy finally able to play with his Christmas toy!
They both stood. Kal noticed as Lois moved that there was a glimmer of light at her neck. As he took a second look, he saw that she was wearing the necklace he had purchased for her.
Oooh. Kal, she *wants* you.
"Thanks again...for giving me a second chance. You have no idea what that means to me."
Pure genius!
The Supreme Lord said very little, but was content to sit back and watch. A small, satisfied smile crossed his lips as he did so. Nothing escaped his watch.
Jor-El channeling Perry White here?
Lois looked around and shrugged. "It's nice, I suppose. There's not much here though."
Of course, it’s nice, Lois! No place for the paparazzi to hide.
Kal took Lois to the rose gardens.
Okay, NOW Kal needs a new hobby. Hey, I’ve got an idea!
Lois nodded. "Proper young ladies don't stoop to feeding fish. At least, that's what my dad always said. He was always so afraid that I would grow up to disappoint my lord husband by seeming...uncivilized."
What do Proper Young Ladies do? We keep being told what they *don’t* do or *aren’t allowed* to do. What DO they do? We never see Zara around. What does Catria do when she’s not pleasing Jai (and please don’t tell me if it’s pleasing Jor-El, because I really don’t want to know THAT). They must have large thumbs from all the thumb twiddling they do.
"I always felt so...restricted. So...suffocated."
“So, bored. Just sit there and look pretty, Lois. Don’t speak unless spoken to.” And then of course, Samm would go off and forget to talk to the poor girl. Just out of curiosity, is Krypton near Stepford?
"Something your father would never have approved of in a million years," Kal answered with a sly smile. "Come on."
He took her to the stables and introduced her to the men who worked there, and showed her the horses that the building housed.
Ooooh! Lady Lois’ Lover!
Kal grinned. "The last eight horses in here don't belong to anyone specifically. Choose any one of them and that one will be yours."
"Why?"
"You can't very well accompany me out when I go riding without a horse of your own," Kal grinned.
What?! Ladies aren’t even allowed to ride?
Oh, Kal, she *wants* you BAD!
"Oh. Right." Kal's cheeks colored. "Proper young ladies don't ride horses." His voice was rich with sarcasm.
:rolleyes:
He noted, with immense satisfaction, but no huge surprise, that she was an extremely fast learner.
Well, duh! When you’ve been restricted from learning ANYTHING in your life, you jump at learning something new.
She admitted to enjoying the personal look into Kal's world, a look that she craved, now that she had come to trust him. She admitted to enjoying the personal look into Kal's world, a look that she craved, now that she had come to trust him.
Did you jump out of Kal’s POV here or did Lois actually tell Kal that she CRAVED looking into his world?
It made his knees weak, his head spin, and his heart pound. He'd never experienced such feelings in all of his life. He'd never thought that he ever would. But it was true. Impossible, perhaps. But true.
I have to say it again. Evil genius! Oh, and Kal? Whoo-pa! <<cough>> whipped <<cough>>
He was in love with his wife.
Awwwwwwwwwww.
