Chloe sat up and rubbed the bump on the back of her head. The last thing that she could remember was seeing Clark disintegrate. It couldn't have been Clark though, he wouldn't have slammed her into a brick wall. It was Kal-El. It had to be, something happened to him inside that bar and she was determined to find out. She didn't exactly know how but she was determined.

Kal took Isobel to their new house in Metropolis. It was extravagant to say the least. She looked around in amazement.

"Clark?" he gave her a look, "I mean Kal, um, how can we afford this."

"Don't worry about it. I have everything taken care of. You will never have to worry about anything again." he kissed her neck from behind. It felt so foreign so she pulled away.

"Come on Is, what is wrong with you?"

"There's something wrong."

"Yeah I know." he said blatantly as he sat down.

"No, with me."

"Obviously." his impatience was getting the better of him and she noticed this.

She walked over to him and sat across his lap, straddling him.

"This is more like it." he attacked her with an army of kisses. She put her hand to his mouth, stopping his kisses.

"It's Lana, it's her fault that I'm not whole for you." at the sound of her name Kal twitched.

"What?" he said as he removed her hand from his mouth and held it in his own.

"I'm not entirely myself, a part of her still has control."

"What part is that?"

"The part that loves Clark." she looked away.

"So what can we do about this?"

"Get rid of her you mean? I have a spell prepared, it's almost ready, I just need your blood."

"Why?"

"Because you are Clark, and for it to work we have to erase all romantic ties that she has in this world. But it can wait." Isobel smiled devilishly. She started to kiss his neck and slowly moved down to his chest. "I forgot to tell you." she stopped and Kal looked at her with annoyance.

"What?"

"Well because of a little incident between Lex and I, he owes me alot of money. I have to stop by and see him later on today so he can finish wiring it into my bank account." Kal's face became deadly serious.

"What happened between you two?" Isobel could see the raging jealously on his features.

"Nothing." she shrugged it off and started kissing him again. He grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her off of him.

"Tell me what happened!" he fumed. He thought the worst, immediately images of the bald man holding his woman flooded his mind. He crossed his arms and waited for her explanation. He thought the worst. Did she have sex with him? Was she always like this? Was the child that she was carrying even his. Isobel got scared and froze.

He stood up and grabbed her by the arms. "Just tell me!" he shook her back and forth. A tear slid down her cheek and he stopped. He looked down at his hands and dropped her. "I'm sorry Is, really. Please just tell me."

She nodded, "ok."

"Is I would never hurt you its just..." he trailed off.

"I know its because you love me and couldn't ever picture me with someone else."

"Exactly." he sat down with her on the floor.

"Ok, I needed to find the meteor stones, so I went to him for help. He wanted me to sleep with him as payment."

"Did you?" Kal's eyebrows rose about ten feet.

"No, I really didn't want to, besides Lana took control and left."

"He didn't do anything to you did he?"

"No, he tried but Lana beat him up real good."

"So that's all? Why didn't you just tell me that sooner?" she shrugged. "And why is paying you?"

"He doesn't want me going to the press. So later on tonight we will go and collect the rest of our payment. But in the meantime." Isobel pushed Kal on his back and he didn't mind. She straddled him again and leaned down to his ear. "Do you want me?" He looked into her violet eyes and nodded. She pulled off his shirt and trailed warm kisses down his chest. He let a smirk slip in place on his face.

He pulled her up by her chin and kissed her. He nuzzled his face into her neck. "Do you Isobel want me?" he lightly slid his tongue across her bottom lip, and this drove her insane. She nodded vigorously. He grabbed and handful of her hair and played with it was the silky strands slipped in and out of his fingers. "Does Isobel want to have sex with me?" she shook her head no and he stopped.

"I want you, to make love to me." she kissed him and wondered if he in fact, did love her, or if he was just doing it because it was what he was made to. Nevertheless, she gave herself to him.

When they were done Isobel decided that she needed to shower before she saw Lex and collected her money. She got into the shower and began to wash her hair. Not long after Kal decided to join her. He washed her back and she washed his chest. She looked up at him. He was a breathtaking sight. His hair was all wet, his cheeks were flushed due to the hot water, his eyes were just slightly open and it drove Isobel wild. She stopped scrubbing his chest long enough to admire him.

"I love you Isobel Thoreaux." Isobel really stopped now. She was shocked and he couldn't see it because of the water but she was crying. She mashed her face against his chest and just let the water fall on her. This was perfect, this moment in time was all that she needed. He kissed her head. She looked up at him and devoured his lips. He kissed her back and then pulled away.

"We have business to tend to." he said as he turned off the shower and stepped out. His back was to her as he was gathering up towels and she took this time to admire his posterior. He wrapped a towel around himself and walked over to Isobel. He wrapped the towel around her and threw her over his shoulder.

He set her down on the bed and tilted his head to a closet as he got dressed. She got the hint and picked out a black dress, with a plunging neckline and black heels. When the pair was done getting dressed Kal was wearing black slacks, a grey button up shirt and a black trench coat. Isobel also wore diamond earrings and a necklace to go with her dress.

"Let's go babe." Kal held out his hand to Isobel and led her down to the garage where he opened the door to a silver ashton martin dbr9. He sped off to Smallville.

After a while of driving the couple arrived at the home of Lex Luthor. "You should go in first." Kal opened her door and let her step out. "I will be there in about two minutes."

"Why?"

"I want to get that little bastard excited, so then I can come in and kick his ass." Isobel smiled and walked up to the steps. A maid answered the door.

"Hello Lana are you here for Mr. Luthor?"

"Yes."

"He's expecting you." this made Isobel feel a little bit uneasy but she walked into Lex's office anyway.

"Ah, Lana." Lex was sitting at his desk and didn't even bother to look up. When he did he was stunned. She looked very sexy.

"Lex."

Lex stood up and walked over to her. "You know we can still work this out. Think of all the things that we would share together. We could rule the world." he said as he tried to kiss her neck.

"Lex, I'm here for my money."

"Come on Lana, just think about it." he tried to kiss her but was startled when Kal busted in through the doors.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?" Kal walked over to Lex and punched him in the face.

"Clark! Get out! Security!"

"Lex just make the transfer and we'll leave." Isobel said as she stood in front of Kal. He wrapped his arms around her possessively.

"Fine." Lex wiped the blood away from his lip and walked over to his computer. He made the transfer and hit send. "There it's done, now please leave."

"Just remember Lex, if you ever get too comfortable with my girl again then I will break your face." Kal said as he left with Isobel.
