CHAPTER 5: AFTERGLOW

The morning after...

Clark is the first to wake up. At some point during the night they had somehow switched positions so that she was curled up in his arms; her head resting on his chest. He looks down at her while she's sleeping; thinking about how beautiful she looks. He brushes a lock of hair off her face so that he could kiss her cheek; closing his eyes again.

Lois wakes up and looks up into his closed eyes, then at the full lips that did things to her the night before that made her blush. Her hand reaches up to lightly stroke his cheek. He opens his eyes again and notices her staring up at him. He lowers his lips to hers in a sweet yet tender kiss.

"Good morning Mrs. Kent," he says; a big smile on his face.

"Good morning to you Mr. Kent," she replies; an even bigger smile on her face.

He leans forward to whisper in her ear. "Can I tell you a secret?"

"You can tell me anything," reaching up to kiss him again. "What is it?"

"I made love for the first time with an absolutely gorgeous and sexy woman last night."

She looks curiously at him. "It's funny you should say that. Because the same thing happened to me last night. Except it was an handsome and sexy man."

"Really?" raising his eyebrows. "Exactly how sexy?"

"He was so sexy that...well...I can't really say. I'm a little shy," she says teasingly. Then she says, "What about you? How sexy was she?"

"Hum," pretending to think about it. "I can't tell you either. I guess I'm a little shy too," shrugging his shoulders.

"Well, since you're too shy to talk about it, are you too shy to show me?" she asks him.

"I'm not too shy for that. What about you?"

"I agree with what you just said," smiling up at him.

After a moment, he asks her, "So...what do you want me to show you?"

"Surprise me," winking at him.

"Okay," he says. "But there's something I need you to do for me first."

"Really? What is it?

"I need you to turn over."

Her eyes widen with surprise. "You want me to turn over?"

He nods yes. "I want to get to know every inch of your body Lois. And when I'm finished, I'll start all over again...and again...you get the idea," sporting a sexy smirk on his face. Then he lifts himself up and hovers over her; waiting for her to turn over.

She looks up at him and wonders exactly what he's going to do to her. But she can't help but think that there's something so thrilling and stimulating about it. He continues to look at her; patiently waiting for her to make her move. So she finally begins to turn over. He helps her the rest of the way so that she's lying on her stomach.

He carefully lays on top of her; being careful not to crush her with his strength. He turns her head to the side, then brushes her hair to the side as well; his lips touching the back of her neck.

"Umm," she sighs as he makes his way down to her shoulders; laying a trail of wet kisses across them. "Oh Clark," she moans softly as his lips begin to make their way down her back; occasionally stopping to softly blow on her damp skin. The sensation of his cool breath on her damp skin gives her a tingle all over her body.

"You like that don't you?" he whispers; continuing his journey downward until he reaches the small of her back. His hands move to cup her ass cheeks; gently squeezing them within his fingers.

"Ahh," she moans a little louder as he continues to squeeze them.

"I guess that's my answer," a smirk on his face. Of course she doesn't see the smirk. But yet she knows it's there.

"I would wipe that smirk off your face if I were you," she warns him.

He lowers his head so he could look into her eyes. "How did you know I did that? Do you have eyes in the back of your head or something?" an astonished look on his face.

"It's one of MY powers Smallville," a sly smile on her face.

He looks curiously at her. Then he says, "You do know that I'll have to retaliate for that now don't you?" raising his eyebrows.

"Bring it on Smallville. Show me what you got," daring him with her eyes.

"Oh I'll show you alright," he quips. He's silent for a minute or two, then he rolls off her and stands beside the bed. He leans over the bed and lifts her off; setting her down and turning her around to face him. He takes a few steps back, then says, "Come to me," he calls to her; extending his arms towards her. Almost as if by magic, she finds herself floating directly to him; his arms wrapping around her waist and her hands resting on his shoulders.

"Wow," she says. "I almost forgot you could do that," a big smile on her face.

"That's only the beginning Lois," he says. He lifts her up slightly so that she's standing on his feet.

She looks a little puzzled. "What exactly are we doing?" she asks him.

He acts a little mysterious; a smile to match. "You'll find out in a few seconds."

"I will?"

"Absolutely," he replies. "Take a look at where we are."

She reluctantly tears her gaze away from his face and looks around; her eyes wide with astonishment. She returns her eyes to stare at him; unable to say a single word. Then he says, "Welcome to Clark Kent's version of 'The Mile High Club'," raising his eyebrows at her.

"Wow," she says again. "Just when I thought we couldn't possibly top last night..." her voice trailing off as they slowly float from a vertical position to a horizontal one.

"Do you remember the first time we floated together?" his hand reaching up to caress her cheek.

"I remember," she says; gazing into his eyes; her lips coming closer to his...

Clark was in his living room pacing back and forth; waiting for Lois to arrive. He had finally made a decision. A decision that could change his entire life. He wonders how she'll react to the news that he was an 'Intergalactic Traveler.' He's gone over the conversation in his head for what feels like a million times. A conversation that he knew was coming ever since they started dating a few months earlier.

He walks over to the living room window and takes another look; wondering yet again why she's over twenty minutes late. It seems to be a pattern; frowning slightly. Then he sees her car finally pull up into the driveway. He walks back into the living room and sits down on the couch; picking up the paper and pretending to read it. Then she knocks on the door. He turns his head and sees her peering through the glass. He tosses the paper onto the coffee table and gets up; walking over to the door to open it.

"You're late," he admonishes her.

"You know how I love to make an entrance," smiling at him as she comes in; closing the door behind her.

"You certainly like to keep me waiting Lois Lane," frowning a little.

She puts her arms around him and gives him a passionate kiss; her hands running through his hair. His hands come around her waist and pulls her closer to him. "Umm," he sighs; enjoying the kiss very much. Then he pulls away. "Do you honestly think you can make up for being late by kissing me like that?"

"Of course," she quips. "You know you can't resist the Lane charm," winking at him.

"Well don't forget the Kent charm," he replies; his hands moving from her waist down to grope her ass. She gives a start as his hands take hold.

She stares back at him; a surprised look in her eyes. "Told you," he smirks; raising his eyebrows as he squeezes a little harder.

"I see you've really mastered the art of flirting there Smallville," she quips.

"There's a lot more to me than just a boy scout Lois," leaning in to plant a soft kiss on her lips. "Umm," he sighs. "What is that?" he asks her; his lips pulling away so he could smell her hair.

"What is what?" looking curiously at him.

"That scent in your hair. Is that cherry?"

"You're almost right," she replies as he continues to sniff. "It's Wild Cherry. Do you like it?"

"Uh huh," pulling his nose away from her hair and gazing into her eyes. "Remember you told me about trying a different flavor other than Vanilla?"

"I remember," wondering where he was going with this line of questioning.

"I just discovered that even though I really liked Vanilla, I really LOVE Wild Cherry," raising his eyebrows and smiling at her. "And I don't think I'll need another flavor," winking at her. Then he says, "Let's sit down," indicating the couch.

"Okay," following him to the couch; sitting down next to him.

"There's something I need to tell you."

She looks a little concerned. "Is something wrong?" she asks him.

"Oh, no. Nothing's wrong," he assures her. He takes her hands in his and looks intently into her eyes. "Remember the night that I told you that I was the Red/Blue Blur?"

She nods yes. "I remember. You said there was more to it - but that you would tell me the rest when you were ready."

"Well, I'm ready now. And to be honest, I'm a little nervous about it."

"That's okay. Sometimes the best way to tell a person something important is to just come right out and say it."

He gives her a small smile. "That makes sense. But that hasn't always been easy for me."

"I know," frowning a little. "It took you forever to finally make a move Smallville."

He looks thoughtful for a moment. Then he comes to a decision. "Come on," getting up from the couch and extending his hand to her.

"Where are we going?" she asks him; taking his hand and rising from the couch.

"I'm going to show you instead," walking over to the kitchen door and opening it; pulling her along with him as they go out into the yard. When they reach the driveway, he abruptly stops.

"It's a beautiful night - isn't it?" he remarks; looking up at the stars in the sky.

"It is," agreeing with him. "But I still don't understand why we're here."

He pulls her closer to him; his arms wrapped around her. "Hold on tight okay?" lifting her until she's standing on his feet.

"O-kay," still a little confused. But she's no longer confused when they start to rise up into the air. She stares down at the ground and sees that they're over twelve feet off the ground. She stares at him in disbelief. "HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS?"

He takes a deep breath; exhaling before he answers. "I'm not just the Red/Blue Blur - which by the way, is too much of a mouthful." He adds, " You really need to come up with a better name."

She nods her head; still stunned by where they are. He continues on. "I'm from another planet Lois," finally saying the words.

She stares at him; her eyes looking him up and down. "You're a...a..." stammering a little.

"I prefer 'Intergalactic Traveler' Lois," staring back at her.

She continues to stare at him. "I don't know what to say Clark. You look just like everybody else. You act like everybody else," falling silent as she processes what he just told her.

He touches her face with his finger. "Do I look different to you now?" he asks her.

Her hand reaches over to touch his cheek; shaking her head. "No Clark. You're still the same guy I've always known. You're still the man I love. And I don't think the fact that you're an I.T. will change that," smiling at him.

"You love me?"

"You heard right Smallville," smiling at him. "I love you."

"That's the first time you've ever said that to me," smiling at her. "I love you too," leaning forward to kiss her.

"That's the first time YOU'VE ever said it to me," after their lips pull apart.

"Well, I will certainly make up for not saying it sooner," kissing her again...

"That was a wonderful night wasn't it?" she whispers after the kiss.

"It sure was," staring up into her eyes. Then he sits up; causing her to sit up as well. His hands gently caress her shoulders as he lowers his lips to her breast; taking her nipple into his mouth.

"Umm," she sighs as he continues to suckle at her breast; her hands running through his soft wavy hair. His hands move from her shoulders to firmly grip her waist. His mouth lets go of her breast and lifts her up until he has her positioned over him; slowly lowering her until she had him fully inside her. "Oh Clark," she moans as he completely enters her. She rests her hands on his shoulders; staring intently into his eyes.

"Are you ready?" he asks her.

"I'm ready," nodding her head.

"I love you so much," he whispers as he thrusts up into her; slowly at first. But with each moan that escapes her lips, he thrusts a little bit harder. "I need to go deeper," murmuring softly in her ear as he continues to move inside her.

"Do it," she utters as he begins to go faster; her fingers gripping his shoulders. She throws her head back as his lips find her neck; raining kisses all over it as he penetrates her deeper and deeper. "Ahh," she moans loudly as he finds her g-spot again; hitting it over and over and over again.

"Oh Clark," she cries out as she begins to have an orgasm; her body convulsing. But it only spurs him on even more. Then finally...

"Oh Lois," he cries out as he begins to have one of his own; gripping her tightly as he finally releases himself into her.

"Umm," she sighs as her body finally starts to relax; her forehead resting on his. "I love you so much," she whispers; her hands moving from his shoulders to cup his face.

He smiles at her; his hands moving from her waist to gently cup her breasts.

Then she says, "I think I'm going to enjoy being a member of this club," winking at him...
