Chapter 29 - Happiness Abounds

"Presenting Mr. and Mrs. Clark Kent." Clark heard this from Jimmy as they walked through the door and smiled. Clark was on cloud nine and still on the ground. Much of the food was gone but most likely removed Lex's staff.

"Come on Daddy." Brit was standing outside the reception hall waiting to meet her dad and her new mother. She took their hands and led them into the hall where everyone was waiting.

"It's about time you guys. I had to say it again." Jimmy and everyone else had no idea how long it had been.

"Clark, come here." A man took Clark's attention away from his new wife and led him to a corner. "I never got to tell you while you were dating my daughter in college but heard great things from Lucy and Chloe both. Just make her happy. Welcome to the family." He realized that Lois' father knew more about him and Lois than he first thought.

"I just want to make her happy."

"You already did by saving her." Lucy patted Clark on the back and went on greeting people at the reception.

"You ok?"

Clark looked down at her and smiled. He could feel her squeeze his hand in response. Then Lois stopped and poked him in the side and pointed. They waited as the figure walked toward them.

"If this had been a duel, I would have to bequeath a weapon to you." Lex put his hand out and waited for Clark's response. So did the rest of the room.

"I just love her. There was no duel. I just wanted her happy, whomever she chose." He looked at Lex and then at Lois who smiled sweetly, wrapping her arm around Clark.

"Congrats to you both. I hope you are truly happy Lois." Lex turned and walked toward the door, but then turned. "Lois." She looked too late but Clark caught whatever was thrown in her direction. "Enjoy." Clark looked down at the name of the card in dismay.

"I guess this is working out for the best." They walked over to see that Lex had not packed the reception in but changed it. With some doctoring, the cake even read LKC instead of LLL. The chef smiled.

"Daddy, I want some." Brit was pulling on Clark's pants waiting for him to fill her wishes. The photographer followed Brit's lead and started with the traditional pictures. The room seemed happy with Lois' choice for her groom. Clark started looking tired though and Lois could feel it coming on too. He sat at a table with Brit and Lois waiting for a good time to exit.

"You two look tired." Martha leaned over Clark.

"We are."

"Why don't you go then; we will take care of everything. You have to get home before you fall asleep. Can't have that on a wedding night."

"Mom?!" She smiled at her son and left the three alone. Clark got up and took Lois by the hand. "Let's take off."

"Brit, you stay with grandma." Brit smiled and hugged them both.

"Mom, could you take care of Brit tonight?" He could hear several people around giggle. He answered louder, "Ok ok. Stupid question. I love you mom." Clark turned back when he heard her answer.

"Not too early I hope." The two newlyweds left with friends cheering them on all the way out the door. In the car, Clark finally could speak to Lois alone.

"I love you Lois." He waited for what he thought was forever. He felt Lois kiss him on the lips lightly.

"I love you Clark."

Chapter 30 - The Greatest Feeling in the World

So, do you have any idea what Lex got for you two?" They walked down a long hallway to the room on the end.

"I have no idea. It was going to be surprise." Clark unlocked the door and pushed it open to reveal a full suite. Lois started to walk in the door but Clark grabbed her. "What?" Before she could ask anymore, Clark pulled her off the ground and carried her inside.

"Could you get the.." Lois kicked the door closed. She felt amazingly astute seeing that her lips were firmly locked with Clark's. Clark walked over to the bed and laid her down. As he tried to get up, Lois took a hold of his jacket and pulled him down to the bed. Clark hadn't seen the look in Lois' eyes since the night in her car in college. "Lois."

"What?" Lois opened her eyes.

"I know there's got be something else that you want to put on for me. I certainly don't want to wear this." Lois smiled and then ran over to get her bag.

"You be ready when I get back?" Clark smiled when he knew what she was talking about. As she went to the bathroom, she heard the spinning sound from around the corner. "I married the perfect man."

Coming out of the bathroom, Lois saw that Clark had changed into barely there boxers and chilled the champagne. "Here honey - thought we could both use this." Lois took her glass and sipped some before setting it down. Clark pulled her on the bed.

"You know Clark, I was thinking more of having some of this." Lois traced her fingers around his chest as Clark started to breathe heavy. Even the man of steel felt like his body was on fire. "How about we pretend this is the first time for us."

Sitting up, Clark nodded in agreement. Lois straddled her new husband, picking up her glass once again. "To destiny." They drank and Clark took the glasses. "I don't think we will need to rest of this for tonight." Clark picked up a dime off the table and threw it gently against the stereo to turn it on. "But we may need something to cover the noise. I hope." Lois could feel him loosening up right under her. Finally, he was comfortable with her.

"Let me take this off of you." Lois slipped his shirt off as he dropped the straps of her short gown. Clark pulled her into him and started kissing until he had the gown pulled off of her. Pressing his body against her, he heard her gasp. In pleasure.
