Jeez, season three is depressing! Although Slumber was pretty funny at the end!

Lana-" Hey Clark, maybe we can do something this weekend, as friends." Clark-"sure, do you have anything in mind?" Lana-"maybe we could go swimming down at Crater Lake." Clark thinks about it for a moment- "Lana, I don't think skinny-dipping would be a good idea right now." Lana with a weird smile –" I never said anything about skinny-dipping Clark. Maybe in your dreams."

LMAO! I guess you maybe had to see the episode to understand… anyway! I think this story is only gonna be 7 chapters, maybe 8. So we are getting near the end, but dont worry, there should be a sequel. Oh and I haven't gotten any takers on the Beta position. So e-mail me if you are interested. Well, that's all. Read and enjoy! And maybe make a review! Thanks!

Chapter 5: Red Kryptonite or Maybe Some Nicodemus Influence?

Clark walked slowly down the hallway to his locker with Pete.

"So you guys are together now right?" Clark glanced up at him, blushing slightly, but smiling.

"Yea, I guess.." Pete laughed,

"Well about time, bro! Just be careful, she is kinda on the rebound." Both of them fell silent as Lois walked up to them.

"Hey Clark.." She said in a seductive voice, wrapping her arms around his neck. Pete raised his eyebrows at this and glanced at Clark who was obviously just as confused as he was. He saw Clark look over his shoulder and mouth, "Help me!"

Pete turned to see Lana walk up to Clark and pull him away from Lois's embrace. She slipped her hands up to the back of his head, burying her fingers in his dark curls, and pull him down for a powerfully passionate kiss.

Both Pete and Lois stood there stunned. After about a minute both of them pulled away from each other for some much needed oxygen. Clark gave Lana a small smile as she laced her fingers with his.

Lois not surprisingly broke the silence first.

"So wait. You guys are going out?" She asked stupidly and Lana smirked deviously.

"Yea, why? Are you jealous or something?" She replied with a confident smile as she turned around fully to face Lois and Pete. Lana leaned back against Clark and he wrapped his strong arms around her small waist.

Lois, for the first time and probably the last time in her life, was speechless. She shook her head and walked away baffled. Pete turned and smirked at their new position,

"Okay, I knew Clark's secret was holding you guys back and all, but damn." He shook his head in laughter and walked away, still chuckling to himself.

Lana quickly turned around and looked up at him apologetically.

"I'm sorry Clark. I didn't know what else to do to get her away from you." Clark had a wide smile on his face.

"Lana its okay, really. You just surprised me, that's all." He gave her another smile. A small smile spread across Lana's face,

"Oh. Well then I hope it was a good surprise." She noticed that their hands were still interlocked and gave his hand a tight squeeze. He returned the gesture and reached down for another passionate kiss. Lana pulled away to mutter something that sounded like,

"You forgot to list kissing as one of your special abilities…"

He smiled as he led her down the hall to their next class, hand in hand.

()(&))))(&&&&&&&$#

Clark held out his hand for Lana to take as she stepped down from his truck. Lana gave him a quick peck on the lips and he gave her a big smile. Clark pulled her to him and gave her a long kiss. Lana smiled, amused.

"What was that for Mr.?" Clark smirked,

"Well I figured we wouldn't have any alone time until after dinner, or at least a while. Do you mind?" She shook her head, giggling softly. He led her to the yellow house and opened the door for her. Lana muttered a soft thank you and walked over to Martha and gave her a small hug. Martha looked up at Clark as he stepped over to Lana and wrapped a protective arm around her.

"Um, Mom.. Lana knows." Martha almost dropped the vase of sunflowers in her hands but Clark caught it, setting it on the counter.

"How did she find out?" Clark swallowed nervously.

"Well, I told her. I figured she deserved to know." Martha smiled,

"Oh, well welcome to our world Lana." Lana also smiled,

"Thank you Mrs. Kent." Martha nodded and shooed them out of the kitchen. Clark ushered Lana out side and across the yard, up to his loft.

"Well I guess we gout our alone time sooner than I thought." Clark muttered. Lana dropped her book bag on the floor next to Clark's and she stepped over to him, giving him a devilish smile. She slid her hands over his toned chest and leaned in for a kiss.

Clark pressed his lips hungrily to hers and took control of her mouth. He sucked gently on her lower lip, silently begging her for entrance into her hot, sweet mouth. Lana quickly obliged and the two continued their little escapade.

He wrapped his muscular arms around her waist as he backed them slowly over to the couch. They tripped blindly over the small coffee table and landed in the softness of the couch's cushions.

Lana found herself comfortably seated in Clark's lap. He didn't seem to mind and she was very comfortable so she stayed put. Her hands wandered over his firm abs and chest as he cupped her cheeks. Their heavy make out session was cut short as they heard somebody clear their throat, while trying very hard not to laugh.

Lana pulled apart from Clark to glance up and see Lex standing there with the biggest smirk in place across his face. Clark followed her gaze and blushed heavily as Lex began to clap.

"Well done Clark. You have finally pulled the girl next door in out of the rain so to speak." Lana shifted from Clark's lap to right beside him, fixing her shirt as it had risen up, and Clark stood up.

"Lex, what's up?" He asked wondering why he was here. Lex shrugged,

"Just stopped by to give you some tips on wooing our lovely Miss Lang; but it seems as if I am a little too late." Clark smiled slightly before clearing his throat and stuffing his broad hands in his pockets.

"Okay, then I guess I will see you later?" Lex nodded, knowing that Clark wasn't trying to be rude, he just wanted Lana to himself and he couldn't blame him for that.

"Yea, sure Clark. Have fun with Lana." He turned and in his nonchalant way went quickly down the creaking wooden stairs and to his silver Porche, and quickly driving away, leaving a dust trail in his wake.

Clark turned back to Lana and sat down beside her. He gave her a soft kiss, looking sweetly at her.

"Do you have to go to the Talon tonight?" Lana sighed slightly and glanced at her watch.

"Yes sweetie. In about an hour." He looked like a little boy who had just been denied the right to get to go to Disney World, but then smirked deviously.

"Hmm.. An hour." Clark leaned forward and rested a strong hand on Lana's shoulder as he cupped her cheek with the other. He pressed her lips to her, kissing her as lovingly as he could, while still keeping it as close to PG as possible. He pushed her gently against the back of the couch and slowly increased the level of intensity of their fun.

Lana moaned softly as Clark rubbed the small of her back with gentle caresses of his able fingers. Clark sucked softly on her tongue with his own as he ran the fingers of his free hand through her luxurious tresses, stopping at the crook of her neck to rest his hand there. Lana moaned louder as their tongues separated creating an audible pop. She ran a delicate hand up his shirt as she pulled away for a deep breath and laid her head against his chest. Once she regained her breath she looked up at him.

"Wow. That was amazing." Clark smiles as he pulled her into his lap. He nuzzled his face into the crook of her neck making her laugh.

"Mmm.. You smell good. So...kissable." He kissed her neck, deliberately breathing on her hairline, making her shiver.

"Cl- Clark.." she stuttered, 'damn! How does he do that?' she thought to herself. He stopped his attack to mutter a soft "hmm?" in return. Lana traced his jaw with her index finger until she got to his lips and placed a soft kiss there.

"You are being awfully naughty today. Are you sure there is not Red Kryptonite on your person?" Clark chuckled at her question.

"No Lana. I just feel good when I am around you. Complete. Its like we are destined to be together. At that moment he remembered the bracelet Kyra had given him before she had died. Lana smiled and let him kiss her again.
