Chapter 7

Clark arrived at the Kent estate in Smallville not long after the sun had risen. Clark stretched his tiredness away and confidently walked into his home. Never in his life had he felt so overjoyed. There wasn’t a moment that the previous night events wasn’t playing in his head. Clark was surrounded by all things Lois, the scent of her, the feel of her beneath him, all things that had Clark soaring.

Clark felt like a new man, and a new love for Lois that he never thought possible. She had trusted him so completely the previous night, more than anyone had ever trusted him in his entire life. In those moments he knew what the most famous poets and playwrights wrote about, he knew the true definition of love.

Clark passed the drawing room, where he saw a dark masculine silhouette, it was his father. Clark decided to take a step into the room, “Morning father.”

“Ah Clark.” Jonathan smiled turning at the sound of his sons voice. “You’re home earlier than I expected. You went to Oliver’s party last night correct?”

“I did yes.” Clark stood next to her father by the window.

“Did you go alone?” Jonathan pried slightly.

“I didn’t father.” Clark sighed reaching over to the table next to him taking a long drink out of his fathers cup.

“Who accompanied you?”

Clark tried to decide what to do in this situation, what would be best. Should he lie to his father and not mention any names? Or should he outright tell his father he took Lois. It took Clark seconds to realize that the old Clark Kent would have lied to his father, but he stood in the drawing room a new man. “I was accompanied by Lois Lane father.”

Jonathan stood tall giving Clark and look that he couldn’t quite read. His father placed a hand on his shoulder, they stood at the same height, Jonathan’s eyes boring into Clark’s. “Ah the illustrious Lois Lane.” Jonathan smiled before turning his back to his son looking back out the windows. “The most asked for courtesan in Metropolis.”

“She is still the same person father, still the woman I love. And I won’t let you speak ill of her.” Clark warned as his mother came into the room, a glass in hand.

“Clark?” Martha asked concerned at Clark’s tone of voice.

“Morning mother.” Clark acknowledged.

“She is not the same person anymore Clark. She is a courtesan, an actress and one of the best in Metropolis. She is only after your money, and god forbid she becomes pregnant and tries and make you the father.” Jonathan paced the room.

“Who are we talking about Jonathan?” Martha asked stepping next to her husband.

“Lois Lane.” Jonathan spoke the name as if she was the lowest most disgusting woman on the earth. Clark gritted his teeth together. “She’ll play with your heart Clark. It’s what they do. They make you believe you are the only man in the world, bewitching you with her spell. She’ll lead you to believe that you are the only one she calls to her bed. But don’t be a fool son, you are not.”

“I said that I wouldn’t allow you to speak ill of her, father.” Clark’s voiced rose in anger and he rushed his father, Martha standing between the two men. Jonathan stood stoic with a smile on his face chuckling softly.

“She’ll never be your wife son. She’s ruined, she’ll never be seen more than a common whore, and she will die in the streets when she is too old and poor to afford her home.” Jonathan wouldn’t stop, and with Martha standing between the two of them he knew that Clark would not dare charge him again. “But none of that matters anymore. I have found you a suitable wife. And in two month’s time you will marry.”

And with one sentence Clark’s entire world fell apart.

~~

After Lois finished her breakfast she dressed for the day. She was invited to the annual fox hunt at Lionel Luthors estate, and while Lois wouldn’t partake in the hunt she wanted to dress the part. The top of her gown was tailored to look like a mans waistcoat, the same shape and large buttons, it included the traditional male vest which buttoned over her corset and lace scarf before billowing off into a decadent gown. Lois was more than happy to be invited to such an exciting event. She had only heard about Lionel Luthor in passing but the invitation for her was made at his request. Lois knew with Lionel Luthors approval came many new clients and a lot more income, she needed his approval if she wanted to move out of her aunts house anytime soon. Lois walked out of her chambers when she heard shrieks coming from the entrance of the Sullivan estate. Worried something was wrong Lois rushed toward the door to see Chloe embracing her mother and father. “Chloe?”

“Lois!” Chloe cried happily hugging her cousin as tight as she could. It was the first time Lois had even seen Chloe since the night of her debut as a courtesan when they passed each other in their carriages. “Were we expecting you?”

“No, I actually have some news.” Chloe smiled softly. “I’m with child.”

“Chloe! That’s wonderful.” Chloe’s father cried hugging his daughter tight beaming with pride. Moira and Lois shared a look between the two of them. “I knew you would make our family proud. Let us pray that you are carrying a son in your womb.”

Lois smiled at Chloe, “I am so pleased at your news cousin. Congratulations. But unfortunately I am expected at the Luthor estate.”

Lois rushed out of the house but not before she heard Chloe ask her parents, “Can someone explain to me what is going on with Lois?”

The carriage ride to the estate was so short Lois was sure she could have walked it by foot. Lois was formally announced to the group of men and fellow courtesans that glared in Lois’ direction. Upon her arrival a young man approached her. “Mistress Lane, Mister Luthor would like to meet you.”

Lois nodded her head and smiled at the young boy as he brought her over to Lionel. As she was escorted through the gardens she saw many familiar faces, Richard White’s, James Olsen, even Lionel’s son Lex was in attendance. Lois was brought to an elderly man with gray stained hair sitting in a wheel chair. “Ah Miss Lane.” He smiled offering her the seat next to him. “I’m glad to see you could make it.”

“Yes. Thank you for inviting me Mister Luthor.” Lois smiled.

“Please call me Lionel, otherwise you’ll make me feel like I have one foot already in the grave.” Lionel joked with her looking at her attire. “Will you be joining the men in the hunt today?”

Lois chuckled. “No but I thought if I was going to attend a fox hunt I should look the part. Was I successful?”

“Very Miss Lane.” Lionel said, he opened his mouth to say something else before he winced in pain and grabbed his leg. Lois did her research before hand and she knew of Lionel’s old diseased feet. She knew she was at no danger if she tended to his wound, this was her moment.

“Oh let me help you Lionel.” Lois said quickly sitting on the ground to tend his feet.

“Oh no.” Lionel said quickly before relenting. “I’m afraid it’s not a sight for such heavenly eyes.”

Lois smiled gently up at him. “I’m not afraid of flesh.”

Lois pushed away Lionel’s large robe seeing the unclean bandages of his wounds. She began to unravel them looking up at Lionel who cast an ashamed look in her direction. When his open soars were revealed to her Lois felt for the man, it must have been horrible to have such an ailment. She reached for the medical kit next to her taking some clean cloth, dipping it in a cup of medicinal liquid gently cleaning his wounds. Lionel sat back an astounded look on his face, never in his life had anyone tended his wounds with such care. Not even his deceased wife. He smiled softly.

~~

Lex Luthor and James Olsen sat by the fountains. James had his paints and canvas set up to paint the winner of the fox hunt. Lex sat beside him glaring at the sight he was watching.

“My father invites me to this dreaded thing every year, the first year I actually show up and he doesn’t even say a word to me, but he’ll talk to her.” Lex seethed.

“Well face it Lex, she’s a lot prettier company than you are. Besides weren’t you disowned?” James questioned him.

“That’s not the point. That, courtesan, is more important to him than his own son.” Lex rolled his eyes.

“Maybe you’re just jealous because you’re not on the receiving end of Lois’ affections?” James asked wisely.

“Of course not.” Lex paused. “Don’t be ridiculous.”

~~

Later that day when the men were out on the hunt Lois wheeled Lionel around the gardens listening to his stories before the conversation changed toward Lois and her lifestyle. “I’ve heard all about you Lois Lane.”

“I hope all shining reviews.” Lois chuckled.

“Of course. If I may allow me to give you some advice about some of your suitors.” Lionel asked.

“I’d love it.”

“King Oliver is infatuated with you, I wouldn’t be surprised if you find him at your door step sometime soon. Mister Curry has sung your praises and said your night in the warm waters behind your home were among some of his fondest memories of his life. Richard White is hopelessly in love with you, I’ve never heard him talk about a woman as he had you. There is a King of Gotham I’ve heard mentioned in passing by King Oliver, should you ever come in contact with him do not make him mad. And Clark Kent, he’s a genuine well behaved young man, don’t break his heart.” Lionel advised, Lois couldn’t help but chuckle at his words on Clark.

“I’m not a heartbreaker Lionel. I just do what I can for who I can.” Lois smiled.

“I’ve never met anyone who didn’t pass judgment on my handicap, let alone be eager to tend to the wound.” Lionel thought out loud.

“I would be happy to tend to your wound again if you so desire.” Lionel gave Lois a genuine smile before he signed for her to continue wheeling him through the gardens.

“The men have told me about your thoughts and ideas when they bring them up to you. You seem to be able to offer a different perspective to everything Miss Lane. I can actually think of another way you could help me. My son and I haven’t spoke in years, it’s partially my fault. I was hoping you would hear my case and perhaps offer me a method to mend my broken relationship with my son.” Lionel shocked Lois with that proposal.

“I would be happy to try and help you Lionel.” Lois smiled before setting his chair next to a bench in the center of the labyrinth that they had just journeyed though.

Later that night Lois was alone in her chambers with Richard White. It was Wednesday night, their night. Across Lois’ bed were a handful of open maps, with various circles placed here and there. “Perhaps I should make you the good luck charm of my voyage Lois and take you with me.”

“Alright then.” Lois played along. “I shall go with you, we’ll start…” she paused before pointing to a random spot on the map, “Here.”

Richard stayed silent while Lois laughed hitting him with a folded map. “You see! You lie. You’re a liar, you do not want me on your ship at all!”

“I wouldn’t want you alone on a ship with one hundred lonely men.” Richard sat up placing his forehead against Lois’. “I only want you to myself.”

Lois smiled as he kissed her cheek. Richard White in fact was in love with her she could tell by the way he acted around her. It was quite endearing. “I’m planning on moving out into my own home soon.”

“Why?” Richard asked as he rolled onto his side, propping his head up with the use of his elbow.

“I can’t live off the kindness of my relatives forever!” Lois chuckled. “And besides I think it would be rather satisfying to have a home that I can call my own.”

“I never knew women like you existed Lois Lane. I could listen to your ideas and voice all night.” Richard spoke in awe.

“Well we’re not really allowed to exist. The average woman is told you shun education because all they are required for is to marry and bear children.” Lois spoke with a hint of sadness in her voice thinking about her cousin who was once a free spirit but not tied down in a loveless marriage.

“My wife is as cold as the winters night. Lately our conversations have consisted of her asking me if I would like more children, and when I say yes she starts to undress like I just forced her to. I try and tell her that I don’t need a child right this moment she gets up and leaves. There is no love at all.” Richard said, sadness throughout his voice. “Have you ever been in love Lois?”

Lois smiled remembering each man must feel as if they are the only one. “I have felt love often in fleeting moments each day.”

Richard smiled and cupped her cheek before his eyes fell to her chest. “What’s this?”

Richard reached for the heart pendant that hung around Lois’ neck. “I’ve never seen this before.”

“It was a gift that my father gave my mother.” Lois lied playing the game. “He gave it to me when she died.”

“So you never had a mother?” Richard questioned.

“Not really.” Lois sighed. “There was a cook who looked out for me, but it was just my father and I.”

The two sat in silence for a good while before Richard sat up and turned down the plush sheets of Lois’ bed. “Shall we to bed? Let me hold you tonight darling.”

Lois smiled and got in her side allowing Richard to wrap his arms around her before he fell asleep. From their previous nights together Lois knew he was a deep sleeper, she reached over to her night table where her aunt placed all her letters. One from Mister Curry, one from King Oliver, and even one from James Olsen simply requesting her company to talk. Unfortunately Lois’ Aunt missed the letter from Clark, which simply read.

My love, we must talk. ~ Clark Kent

I know I know... I just had to throw a wrench in there didn't I? I actually have a lot of stuff already planned for later chapters of this story so I hope you guys like the little web I'm weaving! Loved it? Hated it? Suggestions? Leave a comment and let me know<33

[cathy14]

You're absolutely right, i just loved this chapter
the moment i saw Lex with Clark, right in the begining of the story i knew he's going to be trouble, with capital T My hunch is that Lois is going to become the object of his desire... he'll want to possess her, not only for his lust but for her relationship with Lionel that, i think, will put her under his wings - lke some sort of father figure.
I knew Jonathan wouldn't like Clark's relationship with Lois and of course he would say harsh things about her and her lifestyle.
And Clark's bride, gotta be honest, was not a completely surprise... Of course things wouldn't be that easy for them

[FWvidchick]

Love the update hun.. nothing wrong with wrenchs because it just makes the fixing all the better. Clois will overcome this I am sure.. Lois is so sweet!

PPMS!

[Eleidich]

ohoh, I´m guessing maybe Clark´s bride is Lana?

[IMS86]

that's why i love yoy anne you're never abandoned your fan fics!!! love it chapter six and seven! and i think clark's new bride will be lana.. i have a feeling!

[MariVe]

Okay Mr. Kent is an ass!!!! and quite surprisingly Lionel is fantastic . How dare Mr. Kent talk that way about Lois??? I want to smack him!!! and I knew he was planning Clark impending marriage to some wannabe, that I can bet not my right but my left arm, that daddy dearest selected Lana as Clark wife

Richard is a sweetheart, to bad he's married and yes Ollie will be knocking Lois door in any moment
So Lex uptight behavior is because he probably has the hots for Lois?? interesting, now lets see how that goes..

Great update PPMS!!!!

[Lane Kent]

Ok I caught up with all the chapters.... & this is a wonderful read thanks for sharing. Please don't let Clark's bride be Lana. I ud rather see Tess. (I hate Clana with a passion as u can tell lol).... Anyone but Lana.
Again this is a really good story.

[latingirl]

Wonderful, PPMS

[EmLouD]

oooh not a fan of Jonathan in this fic! Can't wait for more

[imhooked]

Loved it, of course! I really hope Clark's new bride is Lana. It would definitely be interesting. I am really enjoying this story and I really love the fact that you updates so quickly. Thank you!!! I'm sorry I had you a little worried about your Clark character though. Don't worry about me. I see angst in everything. Your story is just fine.

[MrsWolverine]

Annˇˇ I just found you new story and you are already in chapter 7ˇˇ I was reading without stop since the beginningˇˇˇ
Of course I love it because I like that movie very much, period stories and Veneciaˇˇˇ
I love your version more becuase is Lois and Clarkˇˇ
I don't remember very much the movie because the last time I see was long time ago, so I found more surprising the things that are happenning there.
Can't wait for more, I want to see how Lois is going react to the Clark's news, but sincerely was not surprising, soon or later that would happen.
Great Workˇˇ

Yay!!!!! When I read your PM I was like 'funny because I just wrote a chapter with a lot of what she's talking about" haha!!

It won't be easy, but Clark's bride won't be as wicked as one might expect.

Love the update hun.. nothing wrong with wrenchs because it just makes the fixing all the better. Clois will overcome this I am sure.. Lois is so sweet!

PPMS!

Thanks so much!! I'm trying to be a better angst writer so I've been dashing my stories with it. I'm glad you love Lois! I love writing her for sure!

ohoh, I´m guessing maybe Clark´s bride is Lana?

Hmmm... now what would make you think that

that's why i love yoy anne you're never abandoned your fan fics!!! love it chapter six and seven! and i think clark's new bride will be lana.. i have a feeling!

Thanks hon<33 In my opinion there's nothing worse than an abandoned fan fic, so I always try and finish mine!

Okay Mr. Kent is an ass!!!! and quite surprisingly Lionel is fantastic . How dare Mr. Kent talk that way about Lois??? I want to smack him!!! and I knew he was planning Clark impending marriage to some wannabe, that I can bet not my right but my left arm, that daddy dearest selected Lana as Clark wife

Great update PPMS!!!!

Yes Mister Kent is quite a different character than we're used to isn't he?? I knew I wanted to play with the personalities of Jonathan and Lionel when I wrote this story, just for a bit of fun. Hmmm... Lana... we shall see who shows up on Clark's door. But I can guarantee it won't go the way you might think ;-)

Haha I love writing Richard! And Oliver is going to show Lois quite an unusual time

Ok I caught up with all the chapters.... & this is a wonderful read thanks for sharing. Please don't let Clark's bride be Lana. I ud rather see Tess. (I hate Clana with a passion as u can tell lol).... Anyone but Lana.
Again this is a really good story.

There won't be Clana in this story don't worry. I will say if it is indeed Lana she will not be a villain. I feel like Smallville really ruined Lana's character especially in a lot of Clois fans eyes. My Lana is always very different in stories.

Wonderful, PPMS

Thanks so much<3

oooh not a fan of Jonathan in this fic! Can't wait for more

Me either!

Loved it, of course! I really hope Clark's new bride is Lana. It would definitely be interesting. I am really enjoying this story and I really love the fact that you updates so quickly. Thank you!!! I'm sorry I had you a little worried about your Clark character though. Don't worry about me. I see angst in everything. Your story is just fine.

Clark and his "bride to be" are going to come to a very interesting understanding. I hope you guys like what I have in mind.

Annˇˇ I just found you new story and you are already in chapter 7ˇˇ I was reading without stop since the beginningˇˇˇ

Great Workˇˇ

Haha I work fast right? Oh man I'm so glad you've seen the movie. This story is inspired by the movie but won't stick to it scene for scene, especially in later chapters. Thanks so much for reading another one of my stories<33
