Chapter 19

Only a few moments had past since Lois Lane had admitted her feelings to a now lifeless Clark Kent, but to her it felt like an eternity.

She still lay her knees resting on either side of his hips and her body lay across his stomach as her head never left the top of his chest as she had closed her eyes as she wept.

Thump…

She didn't notice the noise at first because she was so upset.

Thump…Thump…

She opened her eyes almost blinded without leaving his chest she noticed that the crystals as far as her gaze could see were shining as bright as ever causing her to close her eyes once more.

Thump…Thump

Thump…Thump

That's when she realized the noise was not coming from the fortress, the noise was coming from Clark's chest.

Thump…Thump

Thump…Thump

Thump…Thump

Lois then felt her head start to rise and fall ever so slowly.

She quickly sat up still sitting on his lap as she put her hand across his chest and felt the one thing she thought she would never hear again.

His heartbeat…

But the moments that would follow felt like a dream…

Clark's eyes slowly opened daisy for a moment but his eyes locked on hers for a moment.

Lois mouth lay partially open from shock, but even that wasn't as shocking as what happened next.

Clark had pushed himself with her still in his lap as his knees pushed up to support her back.

In that time he had used both of his hands and rapped them around her shoulders and leaned the remainder of the space between them as his lips crashed into hers.

Lois blinked a couple of times trying to get a sense of reality but this was happening Clark was kissing her but it only those couple of blinks to get her feeling back as she pushed her lips onto his more as all of the frustrated passion was fuelled in the kiss.

Lois hands immediately went to the side of his face as she felt tears leave her cheeks once more as she had never felt so complete in her life the moment his lips had met hers for the very first true time.

Clark's hands went from her shoulders to either side of her waste and gripped them with hunger and Lois knew how much her feelings were equally shared.

Clark had never felt so alive in his life he finally had the women of his dreams in his arms and he couldn't be happier as they fought for dominance in this embrace that's when Clark decided to take command.

Lois eyes reopened momentarily when she realised Clarks tongue was grazing her lips begging to gain entry.

Clark's relief when she had finally granted access as his tongue delved into her mouth and playfully touched Lois's which made a small moan escape her lips which made him need her more.

Lois couldn't believe she actually moaned into Clark's mouth but his tongue was creating electricity around her she had never been kissed truly like this before as there tongues grazed one another's once more causing another surge of electricity between them.

This kiss lasted for a few minutes until logic and reality of there fact and need to breath came into the equation.

There lips slowly separated but there eyes met once more as Clark said with so much meaning and passion that she had ever heard him say before.

"I love you Lois…" as he placed the softness yet thoughtful kiss on her forehead as he brought her in for a hug which she gladly took and rested her head on his chest once more gratefully hearing his heartbeat in a slow yet beautiful rhythm as she said breathlessly.

"I love you to Smallville…"

They both smiled as they sat in the same position as the night was drawing in.

But they both knew a new dawn was about to rise and they would face it…together.
