Chapter 11: Took Me By Surprise
I wrote the first part of this while listening to this song... I think it fits perfectly for the mood! Give it a listen and tell me what you think. "A Historic Love" by Trevor Morris
Lois hiked up her dress and took off as quickly as she possibly could for the bridge just behind the palace before the woods popped up. She took the stone stairs two at a time before turning back to make sure no one was following her, when she turned to find no one Lois smiled and continued to run through the gardens of the court. The moon was still very bright and high in the sky and allowed the rushing river around the castle to reflect it's beautiful light.
Lois grinned when her gaze finally landed upon the bridge. Lois moved her legs faster than she thought possible the sound of the river and her beating heart the only thing she could hear. Lois looked around the bridge and there was no sight of Kal, she slowed down before turning to see if he was anywhere around her. When she did not see him anywhere Lois shrugged and walked down the small hill to hide under the curve of the bridge. Before she could reach the bottom she felt a pair of strong hands pull her against a hard masculine body. Lois smiled up at the man, "I thought you left me."
Kal shook his head grinning down at her before pushing her back against the stone curve of the bridge, "Never," his lips descending upon hers. Lois let a satisfied breath escape her nose finally being able to embrace him without the fear of prying eyes. Lois opened her mouth tenderly allowing his sweet tongue to enter her mouth. Lois quickly returned the favor placing her hand on his broad chest feeling the leather garment beneath her fingers. Kal's hands descended from Lois' face, down to her shoulders, until reaching the swell of her breasts. Lois let our a startled gasp at the feeling.
"I'm sorry." Lois panted shaking her head going back to kiss his lips again. Kal however pulled away.
"Did I do something wrong?" Kal asked tentatively.
"No, not at all, it's just, a new feeling. It took me by surprise." Lois smiled softly. Kal seemed to accept her answer as he massaged her lips with his own once more. Lois lost herself in his intoxicating kiss before feeling herself lifted up as if she weighed nothing at all. She wrapped her long legs around his hips, silently cursing the amount of material of her dress which was getting in the way. She had never experienced any of these feelings before, she felt as if her whole body was on fire in the most pleasurable way possible. Chloe told Lois after her wedding night with the King of Star City she had felt things she never thought were possible, Lois couldn't imagine anything feeling better than his lips all over her exposed skin at that moment.
Lois let out a moan as his lips found that very pleasurable spot on her neck. "My advisors pulled me aside after our volta and said they could see we were in love." Lois panted trying to catch her breath. "They warned me that dancing perversely with a strange man was no way to get a husband."
Kal laughed against her neck before working his way down to the swell of her breasts, kissing the skin there. "They want to choose my husband for me, saying it would be in my best interest." Lois couldn't help the whimper that escaped her throat as his mouth was doing things to her that no man had ever done before. "I grew tired of their game and ran out here to meet you."
"If they thought dancing with me was perverse what would they say about our position now?" Kal smiled boldly lifting his head and lips from Lois' breasts. Lois shoved his shoulder away playfully.
"Mind your manners your Majesty or I will have to put an end to our private meeting." Lois smiled. Kal gently placed Lois down on the ground, she curiously looked up at him. "Where do you like to be touched?"
Kal's eyes almost popped out of his head. "Excuse me Lois?"
"Well you seemed to have found all the spots I seem to like, and I don't know what pleases you." Lois blushed slightly.
"I have hardly shown you all the places that will bring you pleasure Lois." Kal wickedly suggested in a dangerously low voice. "And I am pleased as long as I am with you. Whatever you do I enjoy."
Lois looked at him curiously. "So when I touch your chest you enjoy that?" Lois gently caressed Kal's smooth chest.
"Yes." Kal whispered huskily.
"And when I play with the hair at the base of your neck you enjoy that?" Lois brought her hand up to gently stoke the strands of hair that fell on his neck.
"Mmm." Kal moaned.
"And when I kiss you here?" Lois kissed a spot on his chest that was left open by his garment. "And here?" She kissed the hollow of his throat. "Here?" She placed gentle kisses all along his jaw line, tugging softly at his ear as he had done many times to her. "Here?" She stood on the tips of her toes. "Here?" Lois asked finally kissing his lips once more.
Once contact was made Kal became a man possessed, never in his life had any woman drove him so wild with passion. This innocent woman was doing things to him that much looser women had never done. Kal didn't like to brag but he had been with a fair amount of women, his father told him to never settle for one until you knew how to please her properly, and the best way to learn how was practice. And Kal practiced, a lot, and as horrible as it sounded he had never been more happy to have such experience as he did now with her. He wanted her to feel like the Queen she was in every way possible, he wanted to give her the world. This thoughts sobered him as he pulled away from her abruptly. "Did I do something wrong?" Lois asked repeating his question from earlier.
"No." Kal breathed catching his breath. "You are perfect."
"Then what's wrong? Are you having second thoughts about us?" Lois swallowed nervously.
"Lois there's something I need to tell you, and it may change your feelings for me." Kal said nervously.
"Why do I feel like I should be sitting when you tell me this?" Lois asked trying to hold onto the stone.
Kal took a deep breath and decided to just jump right into it, "Lois you know I'm not my fathers son by blood. He found me while hunting one day and took me in, raised me as his own. I guess for a while I was a normal baby, but when I turned five things started to happen to me."
"What sort of things?" Lois interrupted.
"Things that I really can't explain, I've never found anyone like me." Kal sighed. "I can shoot fire from my eyes Lois, I can move faster than anyone can comprehend, I can see through things, I can hear what is going on in Krypton right now, I can move the clouds in the sky with my breath, can lift anything over my head and," He paused. "I can fly."
Lois looked up at him and let out a pleasant laugh. "Has your one drink of wine really made you that delusional?" Lois continued to laugh before she felt a gust of wind, and Kal was no longer there, a moment later he was back in front of her holding the letters he had written to her. "Wha- I don't- How did you?"
"Lois I know it's a lot to take in." Kal said reaching for her seeing her become a bit unsteady on her feet. "I didn't want to hide from you anymore. Lois I love you and want you, need you to know who I really am."
Lois steadied herself looking up at him curiously. "Are you an angel?"
Kal smiled and let out a tense breath. "I don't know what I am."
"But, everything about you is that of a man right?" Lois blushed.
"What?"
"You know." Lois emphasized looking down his body.
"Oh yes, yes Lois everything about me is that of a normal man." Kal laughed nervously. Kal didn't know how to take her silence. "Lois what are you thin-"
"So explain this whole see through things business." Lois asked crossing her arms over her chest.
Kal laughed, "Lois I have to focus to see through things. So are you okay with all of this?"
"You may have divine abilities Kal but you are still a man that has given me confidence that I didn't know I had, a man that showed me such kindness when I was vulnerable. You are supposed to be my enemy and even that hasn't changed how I feel about it. If anything I love you more than ever." Lois said looking at him, her eyes shining with adoration. "Is there anything else I need to know?"
"Actually there is." Kal breathed nervously.
"What is it?"
"I'm ashamed to even admit it, but Lois you have to understand I can't change my ways over night. Once you left Krypton I had to carry out some punishments that were previously set forth for my prisoners. They were less than appropriate. Changing myself is going to harder than I thought. Sometimes when I know I'm about to go to far I think of you, and how disappointed you would be in me." Kal frowned. "Five men were sentenced to death and I allowed it to happen."
"Kal, I know you will not be able to change years of harsh conditioning over night. You would not be a man of your word if you changed the prisoners sentences, you did what you had to do. Men are put to death in Metropolis sometimes because of their crimes. Some times it's what needs to be done. The important thing is that you want to change." Lois cupped his cheek comfortingly.
Kal smiled down at Lois kissing her tenderly, much different from their passion frenzied kisses from before, never in his life did he think he'd ever meet someone other than his family that would know and love him completely with no questions asked, but he had found it in this woman, his enemy, his Queen. She was made for him just as he was made for her. He knew her advisors wanted what was best for her, and so did Kal. All he needed to do was convince her advisors that he was best for Lois, with her help of course.
Kal pulled away from Lois and whispered the one thing that somewhere within him he always knew he would ask her at some point. It was on the tip of his tongue begging for him to ask her, all it took was a simple sparkle in her eye and a comforting hand on his chest to get him to do it. "Marry me."
Lois pulled back shocked. "What?"
"Marry me." Kal repeated. "Lois if we get married we could rule our countries together, bettering both in the process. We could end this war that our fathers started without any more bloodshed, uniting our people. Lois if we could convince your advisors that this is for the best of both yourself and our countries we could bring an era of prosperity neither of our countries have seen in decades. We are surrounded by neural countries Star City and Gotham, we would be protected, and we'd be together."
Lois pulled away from him, "My advisors would never allow it." Lois said sadly.
"Is it that or you just do not want to marry me?" Kal pulled away from her suddenly feeling very rejected. Kal continued to walk into the woods as Lois followed behind him.
"Kal stop!" Lois cried. "We need to go about this in a specific way."
"You sound as paranoid as your advisors Lois!" Kal raised his voice turning towards her, causing her to take a step back. "Are you afraid that if you do marry me you will no longer be in control?"
If Lois was being honest with herself that worry had crossed her mind. Sure Kal said Lois deserved a King that would rule with her and not for her, but who's to say he would not attempt to overthrow her simply to gain power over her country.
"You are aren't you? You're afraid that I am only doing this to gain control over both countries aren't you?" Kal took another step towards her.
"Kal please stop you're scaring me." Lois cried out absolutely frightened. Her fear struck Kal to his core, he couldn't believe he allowed that side to come out of him around her.
"I'm so sorry Lois." Kal replied sincerely stepping towards her, he felt as if he'd been stabbed when she put her hand up to stop him.
"I don't know what to think Kal." Lois shrugged her shoulders. "You know I love you, but how am I to be sure that you won't do exactly that? I have to make sure that that decision is indeed what is best for the people of Metropolis."
"And what's best for them is having a Queen who remains a virgin all her life?"
Lois smiled softly approaching Kal softly caressing him. "What's best for Metropolis is to know that their Queen will always look over them and make sure their betterment comes before her own. To know that even if the Queen is married to a King that is supposed to be the enemy that she will not change how she rules for him, just as she would not try and change the way he ruled for her."
"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" Kal stood up to his full height.
"Yes, I will marry you Kal King of Krypton. But only if you promise that you will not undermine my authority when it comes to my country." Lois raised her head completely up, showing she was not intimidated by him.
"I would never dream of it. We must set up the meetings between our countries at once, and let them see that a marriage is the only way to end the war between our people." Kal replied softly kissing her passionately before spinning her around laughing from pure and utter happiness.
I bet you weren't expecting THAT were you? Now onto the hard stuff, like getting everyone to see things as Lois and Kal do. Please let me know what you think!
