Sean closed the door and Martha stepped back.

"Are you scared of me?" he asked walking towards her.

"Should I?" she asked.

"It depends…"

"What on?"

"If you want to do it at the easy way or at the hard one…" said as he caressed her neck. "You're so beautiful, Mrs Kent… I've been thinking on you since the night I saw you at the Luthor mansion… I found you really hot that day…"

"I could be your mother!"

"Age is not a problem for love…" he said.

"Do you want anything to drink?" asked Martha moving away from him.

"No, thanks"

"Are you sure? A tea? A coffee? Maybe some vine?"

"Vine would be nice..." he said. And Martha walked to the kitchen. "But take two glasses, Mrs Kent"

In the kitchen Martha thought on what was she doing… she was with a boy of her son's age who desired her… but she couldn't stop the situation because he knew something she didn't want anybody to know… she just could do something… she just could – as Lionel said – follow his game, and try to dominate it…

She walked to the living room with a bottle of red vine and two glasses.

"You're as much lovely, Mrs Kent…" said Sean looking how she served the two glasses.

"You can call me Martha, Sean…" said her giving him one of the two glasses.

"Oh… thanks Mrs… I meant… thanks Martha…" and he drank a little as Martha did too.

Lionel was in front the apartment's door, sitting on the floor, with his back against the wall, with his eyes fixed on that door behind which Martha could be hurt and he could do nothing. He had said her that he wouldn't rang Clark, even not yet… she didn't want him to know what was happening, and more over to fight with a man who knew about his weakness.

They were drinking the second glass of vine when Martha noticed that Sean eyes were looking something on the floor. She looked too… Lionel had missed his tie.

"Sean, it's not…" but he didn't listened her, he just throw the glass on the floor angrily and slapped her.

"Bitch!" he shouted. And Lionel listened it and stood up and went closer to the door to listen what was happening. "You're a bitch!" he repeated trying to slap her again, but this time she stopped his hand and he began to laugh. "I will kill your son!" he exclaimed, and then he pushed her, and she felt to the floor, but her glass felt firstly and she felt on it. The carpet got dirty of her blood before she could feel the pain, she looked at her hand and she had a crystal on her skin, she took it out and some tears felt from her eyes… then it began to bleed harder. "Oh my god!" exclaimed Sean kneeling next to her. "I'm really sorry, Mrs Kent… I didn't want to hurt you… I…" He hold her hand "That wouldn't have happened if you had been a good girl, Mrs Kent…" He got frightened of see as much blood "It's your fault!", and that little crystals on her skin "You fuck him knowing that I desire you, that I really wished your body", so he raised up and left. "I will come back, that's not over…" he said before close the door.

Lionel had listened his steps to the door so he run to hide himself. When Sean had left he knocked the door. "Martha! Martha it's me, Lionel! Open, please!"

Martha walked to the door and opened it, and the first think she did was hug him. And he round her with his arms and saw the blood on the carpet.

"Oh my god! Are you hurt?" he asked removing his arms and looking at her searching the injury. Then he saw the blood on her hand.

"It's just a cut, but he was scared" she said.

Lionel removed every crystal of Martha's hand, and she helped him to bandage it.

"Are you going back to the hotel?" she asked after they finished to clean the living room.

"Are you mad? I'm not leaving you alone after this…" he exclaimed. And they sat on the couch were they loved each other just a pair of hours ago. "… I will never leave you alone again…" he whispered caressing her hair. And she left her head on his legs.

"He will come back…" said Martha.

"We'll think a way to stop him…" said him still caressing her hair.

"I like how it sounds…"

"How sounds what?"

"The 'We'… you and me" said Martha taking his hands and kissing them. "I love you"

"Me too… and I would like it to happen before…" said kissing her. They spent a while in silence: Martha's head on Lionel's legs and both joining their hands.

"Thank you, Lionel" whispered Martha nearly falling asleep.

"What for?" asked him.

"For be with me, for not let me alone…" and she closed her eyes and felt asleep on his legs.

The next morning, when Martha opened her eyes, she was lying on the couch and covered by Lionel's jacket. She smelt coffee and stood up.

"Good morning" she said.

"Good morning" said Lionel taking her a cup of coffee and a toast. "I'm not a good cooker, but you need to eat".

Taking the cup, Martha kissed his lips and he kissed her back.

"I love find you with me when I open my eyes…" she said.

"I also like knowing that when I come back of my dreams… you aren't one of them…"
