Chapter 18
Later that night Lois and Clark found themselves wrapped up in one another under the sheets of Lois’ bed. After a rather passionate round of love making the two were completely spent and laying, limbs tangled, panting enjoying the afterglow. Lois propped herself up on her elbow, a hand going up to Clark’s chest rubbing softly.
“So explain to me how you’re father just agreed to allow you to marry whomever you wanted? Because no offense but I don’t see your father allowing himself to be made a fool of and not striking back with an iron fist.” Lois spoke admiring his features. She smiled as Clark’s eyes fluttered open.
“I don’t know really, I guess he figured after eighteen years of fighting him on the subject, over ten of them being because of you, and pulling off the rouse at the wedding it was time to give up on the subject. I’m fairly certain that if my mother hadn’t been there we’d still be fighting about it right now.” Clark chuckled, his fingers teasingly running up and down Lois’ back.
“You know, I never thought I would feel sympathy for your wife to be but after what you told me about Lana, how horrible a life she must have led. Living with an aunt and uncle that constantly made her feel like a burden and then being torn away from the person you love more than anything.” Lois spoke softly before without thinking tightening her grasp on Clark.
“I’m glad though that she is now able to marry Jason. Convenient that her home country’s law allowed this to be possible.” Clark smiled. “If I didn’t know any better I would say that it was fate.”
“Hmm.” Lois sounded closing her eyes and before she knew it, fell asleep nestled on Clark’s chest.
The next morning Lois was pulled out of sleep by Clark gently kissing her exposed shoulder, she closed her eyes tighter and moaned. “Clarkkkkkkkk! After the past few days I just want to sleep.”
She heard him laugh before her hand was elevated and she felt something slide onto her finger. Lois allowed her eyes to finally open, the sunlight assaulting her eyes momentarily. She pulled the sheet close to her chest and looked down at a smiling Clark holding her hand which now had a glittering ring on it. Lois gasped slightly, “Clark…”
“I know it’s not traditional for a man to give a woman another ring besides her wedding ring but I saw this and thought of you.” Clark spoke lovingly. “And I will put a wedding ring on your finger Lois. I want to marry you as soon as possible.”
Lois smiled down at him before a laugh escaped her mouth which she covered with her now ring clad hand. Composing herself she cupped his face and leaned down closing the gap between them so her face was inches from his. “I love you Clark Kent.” She said adoringly.
Clark smiled at her, reaching up to grasp the silver necklace with the heart pendant he had given her all those years ago. Never in his life did he think they would end up in the position that they were, but he wouldn’t have had it any other way. Through all the trials and tribulations he would not change their relationship now for anything in the world. “I love you Lois Lane.” Clark gently tugged on the chain of her necklace closing the gap between them, their lips touching one another, sparks flying between them as it always did.
Before they could get wrapped up in each other again a knock on Lois’ door interrupted them. Lois pulled back from Clark panting slightly, “Yes?”
“Forgive me Mistress but his Majesty the King of Gotham is here.” Elizabeth’s soft voice announced through the door. Lois rolled her eyes and fell back onto the bed.
“What does he want? I’m sort of preoccupied.” Lois chuckled as Clark kissed her neck softly.
“I think you’ll find this important Lois.” Bruce’s rough voice called through the door. She couldn’t help the groan that escaped her lips.
Lois turned toward Clark whispering, “Put on some pants.” Clark smiled leaning in to kiss her once more before Lois spoke again. “Give me a minute.”
Lois pulled on a heavy dressing robe quickly buttoning it up to her neck. She laughed upon seeing Clark, his hair completely disheveled from sleep and sex. Lois smoothed his hair down to make their activities not so obvious. When Lois had decided that the two of them were decent enough for his company Lois called out, “You can come in Bruce.”
Bruce entered with a smirk on his face watching as the couple stood extremely far apart from one another. “Oh stop if you two, like I don’t know what you were up to. If I had just been on trial for two days and treated the way you were the entire time being kept away from the woman I love, I wouldn’t have even let me in.” he teased.
“Well we both know Clark was not kept away from me.” Lois smiled at Bruce. “So what is it you’ve come to tell me that’s so important?”
“I’ve had Lex arrested for falsely accusing you.” Bruce smirked. “And it turns out Lex has been involved in a lot of things even you weren’t aware of. I don’t think you’ll ever have to worry about seeing him again.”
“Thank you Bruce.” Lois stepped towards him to hug him tightly. “You really didn’t have to do that.”
“You are a friend Lois, it’s my pleasure that I can help.” Bruce said before pulling away from her. “I don’t employ the best lawyer in the world to have him sit by idly.”
“Yes but I’m sure even friends don’t put themselves in the position of publically helping a woman, a courtesan no less.” Lois smiled softy.
“I hope that after your trial things will start to change in the ways of how women are treated. I know I’ve learned a thing or two.” Bruce nodded before his gaze fell to her hand. He looked up to Clark. “Well then, I guess congratulations are in order?”
Bruce extended his hand toward Clark. Clark shook it. Bruce turned toward Lois. “I guess this means our days of spending time together are numbered.”
“No Bruce. Just because I’ll be married it doesn’t mean I’ll be locked away like other Metropolis wives.” Lois smiled wrapping her arms around Clark whom smiled proudly.
“I don’t know Clark if I was you I would lock her away in a tower and keep her all to myself.” Bruce laughed.
“I wouldn’t even try.” Clark smiled down at Lois.
“Okay that’s my cue. Congratulations on the wedding. I’ll expect my invitation in the mail.” Bruce turned to leave the room.
“Thanks again Bruce!” They both called out after him.
Clark smiled turning to Lois gazing down at her ring. “So? Do you like it?”
Lois rolled her eyes and huffed slightly. “Like it? Clark I love it! We’ll have to start planning the wedding soon.”
“I don’t want a big wedding.” Clark said quietly.
“Neither do I. And it’s not like I have much family anyway.” Lois shrugged. Lois watched as a glitter appeared in Clark’s eyes, and a smirk graced his lips. “What?”
“Just us.” Clark smiled.
“Just us what?”
“Just me, you and the priest. Who says we need to have everyone we know watch us exchange vows? The only person I care about is you, you’re the only one I need there.” Clark clasped her hands in his. Lois smiled at the idea.
“Just us.” She repeated. “I love that! I’ll have my seamstress start to make my wedding attire, and we can marry as soon as possible.”
“I can’t wait.” Clark smiled down at her kissing her once more before sweeping her into his arms and back to bed.
