The sincerity in his eyes. His love is so pure…
Diana slowly nodded and grabbed his face with both hands pulling him back into a deep passionate kiss. Clark entangled his hands in her hair. She moaned in his mouth as she slowly ground against him, wanting to feel more and more of him.
In the mist of that, Diana had forgotten she only had her towel wrapped around her. Coming loose, it dropped on the floor with a soft thud leaving her now completely naked.
Breaking their kiss, Diana looked down shocked.
"Kal, I-" she looked back up at him and paused seeing him stare at her form with unbridled lust.
"Damn…" he smirked.
Oh Gods…I didn't expect this. We were so caught up in the moment… And he…he is enjoying this. Maybe I am, too...
Diana stepped back from him a bit.
"I'm sorry…I should get dressed."
Diana did not sound sorry at all as she innocently smiled at him. She was just about to bend over to pick up the towel when Clark quickly picked up the towel and threw it on the bed. Diana rose back up with a curious look.
"Kal, what are-…?"
"I've told you before there's no rush in getting dressed. I much prefer this. Such beauty shouldn't be covered up."
"Kal…" she blushed.
I do feel comfortable being completely naked in front of him. I'm also enjoying this as much as he is.
"Maybe I should join you just for a little bit before you go. It's only fair," he said casually.
Oh, Gods! What is this man thinking?! Though, why would I deny myself such a desire?
"I would've liked a more slow reveal," Diana teased playfully, also enjoying the way his eyes rake over her body. "Though, I don't mind at all if you want to join me in the moment of bare openness."
"This is a very good time for me to have my full view of you to keep in mind while you're away. But you can still take your time when you get back," Clark murmured lustily. "I also have to admit, I'm enticed to take full advantage."
"How so?"
"Not only seeing you but I need the feel of my Nightingale to hold me over."
Diana arched her brow, her eyes drifted down his clothed body, knowing the hard muscle that hides underneath his shirt. She walked sensually towards him, closing the distance. Clark watched her, not moving. When Diana reached for the hem of his shirt, he lifted his arms and permitted her to remove it from his body, letting it fall to the floor. Even though she was mere centimeters away, and every cell in his body was yearning for her, he remained still, staring at her patiently. Trying to memorize this moment.
The way he looks at me. I know he wants more. I want more…But for now…it's just a moment of feeling to hold us over until we can be together as we truly want…however long we want.
Diana stared at his bare chest, and her fingers reached out to trace his abs tenderly. Clark could see her eyes clouding. He took her hand placing it over his heart.
"Just a little something to remember, okay?"
Diana nodded. "Okay."
Entwining their fingers, Clark brought Diana's hand up to his lips where he kissed her fingers tenderly. He continued to hold her hand even as she reached to the back of his neck with her other hand and gently pulled him to press her lips to his.
The kiss started off soft and tender, but quickly deepened into desire. Clark let go of her hand to dig his fingertips into the soft flesh of her hips. Diana's hands both coming up to tangle in his hair. In one fluid motion, Clark lifted her up in the air, never breaking the kiss. Diana's legs wrapped around his waist as he carried her three steps forward, resting her on her bed. This was just what she had imagined so many times in her dreams, to be kissing Clark right in her bed.
Clark lifted his head finally breaking their kiss momentarily. He looked down at her lustily as Diana gasped for air, focusing on unbuckling his belt. Clark then buried his head in her neck, tasting her skin on his tongue as he waits for her to finish undressing him.
Gods, it's been torture holding back from this.
Diana finished unbuckling his belt and began to make quick work of his fly. She grinned at him, having finally rid him of his pants leaving him in only his boxers briefs between her naked legs. Diana then hooked her fingers into the lining of his briefs and looked up at him, her breath ghosting over his bare chest.
Clark tenderly brushed her hair back from her face.
Although, Kal has been so passionately persistent about us, he has also been so patient. He has been so kind and gentle with me. This is why I want to give him all of me.
Diana's eyes not leaving his as she pulled his briefs down. It's the last barrier between them, and this is Clark's sign to take the lead. As soon as they are around his ankles, he kicked them off. Diana glanced down then back, locking eyes with him. She felt her heart fluttered.
Such a man. A Superman in every sense of the name. Such a godly exquisite man…
Diana draped her leg across his hip and ran her hands along his skin. Clark closed his eyes, enjoying the sensation of her hands sliding up his sides, leaving behind a trail of fire where she touched. Diana looked him over, her fingers tracing the contours of his muscles. Clark brought his hand to her face and tipped her chin up. Diana looked into his eyes and smiled, biting her lip, her face turning red with blush. He smiled in return and leaned in, placing a soft kiss on her lips.
"Diana..." he said.
She closed her eyes for a moment, at the sound of him saying her name, her smile spreading wider on her lips, the lips he couldn't get enough of.
Clark wrapped his hands around her waist again and pulled their full naked bodies even closer together. Her skin was warm and soft against his solid hardness. It felt so natural to be this close. He leaned down tracing his nose along her neck, in the sensitive spot just beneath her ear. Her scent was so intoxicating. Diana wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him into a passionate kiss, their tongues dancing together. Clark couldn't get enough of her, one moment grabbing her ass, the next cupping her breasts, then tangling his fingers in her hair. Diana's hands roaming his body similarly.
Clark broke the kiss abruptly, both of them still tangled together and panting wildly. He lifted his right hand and traced down the side of her breast before sliding underneath and cupping it. Her breasts were large, her nipples erect. Clark ran his thumb over her nipple in small circles. Diana's breathing picked up as her arousal reached new summits.
Diana arched into him, releasing a moan. Clark was in disbelief of how overwhelmingly sexy it was when she responded to his touch like that. He brought his lips down to her neck again, kissing her tender skin and between heavy breathes managed to say, "Diana... you're so beautiful."
Her breathing was ragged as she said, "Kal..."
The sound of his name on her lips was so full of desire, so pleading, it brought him so much pleasure.
"Mmmm, yes?" he asked, wanting to hear her voice more. Wanting to hear her arousal, her desires.
"I..." she paused, taking another breath.
"Don't worry. We're taking our time," he smiled reassuringly. "Just let me do this for you," he whispered against her skin.
Diana nodded slowly, releasing a soft whimper. "Mmhm…" she managed to say between heavy breaths.
He moved down from her neck, trailing to her breasts where he cupped one in his hand, rubbing circles around her nipple with his thumb again. Then his mouth found the other and his tongue flicked and played with erect her nipple.
Diana arched her back, her breath catching. She dug her fingers into his shoulders as her pleasure escalated. Clark simultaneously started pinching her other nipple and widened his jaw, taking as much of her breast into his mouth as he could. He tongued and sucked on her nipple. He then switched giving the same attention to the other.
I've never felt this before.
As much as Clark wanted her, his desire to bring her more pleasure, to hear her moan at his touch, was greater.
Clark released her breast and trailed back up to her lips. He ran his hand down her torso, over her right thigh and up to the sensitive spot between her legs. Diana's breathing became more ragged as he slid his finger up and down her silky slit.
As he started tracing gentle circles, Diana closed her eyes and thrust her hips with each movement of his finger. Clark continued to kiss and suck on her neck, encouraging her moans. He slid his fingers down her crease and then paused before slowly inserting two fingers inside of her causing Diana to gasp and her breathing quickened. Clark nibbled on her ear, licked and sucked her earlobe into his mouth. Clark reveled in her arousal, the feeling of her around his fingers, her warm wet womanhood.
Oh Gods! What is this man doing to me?!
He made her moan louder and louder, as Diana continued grinding down and thrusting into his hand.
Diana breathlessly moaned in his ear, "this feels so good, Kal." Diana bit down on her lip.
She cried out in pleasure and continued thrusting against his hand, moaning his name. Clark smirked and captured her lips in a passionate kiss. He sensed her body began to tense.
Her breathing became shallower and more rapid. He knew she was getting close.
Within seconds, her back arched and she let out an unbelievable moan that even she was surprised by. Her body convulsing, under his hand, her eyes closed in ecstasy. It was the most arousing thing Clark had ever seen. Waves of pleasure washed over Diana as Clark continued to stroke her.
Diana didn't just see fireworks, she felt like she was a firework. Bursting with pleasure.
OH BY GODS! THIS SENSATION!
Clark continued to rub her slowly until her breathing started to slow down and she stopped bucking, taking away that throbbing sensation and bringing her back to reality.
Clark whispered in her ear, "Hi, there." He kissed her cheek.
When Diana's breathing returned to a more regular pattern, she opened her eyes and looked at him. She felt lighter and couldn't stop smiling.
"Hi…" Diana whispered dreamily, staring at him for a moment.
This man has been so generously selfless…so giving.
Diana kissed him passionately, knocking him onto his back and straddling his hips. She broke the kiss, pushing her hands against his chest. His hands found their way to her hips and he took in the sight of this stunning, nude woman on top of him.
"Have I told you how much I love having you on top of me?"
"Hmm?" Diana pretended to ponder. "I think once or twice…but…I would love a reminder."
Clark chuckled reaching to brush her hair behind ear and cupped her cheek. "Ms. Prince, I love having you in top of me."
Diana giggled. "And I love being on top of you." She kissed him softly.
Two hours later…
"Alright, Kadi, we're all set for Themyscira. Mother is going to love you!"
"Chirp! Chirp!"
Diana giggled as Kadi flew around her then landed on her shoulder hopping to playfully hide in Diana's hair.
Clark eased behind Diana wrapping his arms around her waist.
"I'm going to miss you."
Diana turned in his arms wrapping her arms around his neck.
"I'm going to miss you, too…especially after what you did to me."
Clark grinned proudly and kissed the tip of her nose. "I had to give my lady something to remember while away."
Sending me off feeling like this after he ravished me the way he did? Damn him for being so damn good with his hands. He knew exactly what he was doing. He opened the floodgates of our passions and neither one of us have any intentions on ever closing them.
"But I didn't give you anything."
"Diana, you gave me exactly what I wanted. From the look on your face, your reactions, and that sexy soft feel of you…" He gave her ass a light squeeze. "That's all I needed for now. But when you come home back to me, I want you to be absolutely sure and ready for even more of me…of us."
Diana nodded slowly and tears welled up in her eyes. Clark caressed her cheek, capturing her lips for one last passionate kiss.
Hours later…Themyscira
Princess Diana landed on her home island in front of the Queen's Palace Temple.
"Welcome home, Princess," the Amazonian guards bowed.
"Tula, Juvia, it's good to be home, Diana smiled.
They smiled and opened the doors for her.
"Chirp! Chirp!" Kadi peeked from Diana's hair.
Diana laughed softly. "You are awake, Kadi! Just in time to meet Mother."
Diana sighed lovingly walking through the palace halls to the throne room. She smiled to herself remembering running all around much to her mother and sister's annoyance. For just a moment she imagined what if she would have her own child running the halls.
When the time comes for me to be Queen…Kal and I…I refuse to choose between my happiness and my responsibility. I've done that for so long. Kal will be right by my side. We can make this work together.
"Mother?" She called entering the room.
"Diana?! My dear daughter!" Hippolyta rushed to her embracing her daughter. "Oh how I've missed you!"
Diana embraced her mother just as tight. "I've missed you, too, Mother!"
Pulling back Hippolyta cupped Diana's face.
"You're glowing, Diana." Hippolyta arched her brow. "Diana?" She began to question. "Are you?"
Diana gasped and her eyes widened. "No…no…nothing like that…"
"Hmm…?"
"Chirp! Chirp!" Kadi flew from within Diana's hair to her shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Kadi. I guess you aren't shy!" Diana laughed.
"What a lovely little bird!"
"Mother, this little bird is Kadi."
"It's very nice to meet you, Kadi. Quite a peculiar name you've chosen."
"It's from Kal and I…We have been taking care of her. We still aren't sure where she's come from but she's made herself quite at home with us."
"You and Kal-El? You are within the same residency?"
"No, it's…well…he still lives in Metropolis but he stays in London with me quite frequently."
Hippolyta was even more curious. "Walk with me to the garden, Dear."
I know that look all too well. I might as well just tell her everything.
The Queen's Royal Garden
Upon reaching the garden, Kadi happily started singing in Diana's ear.
"Go ahead. But just be careful while flying. You haven't flown too far in a long while."
"Chirp!"
Hippolyta smiled at her daughter as they sat down on the garden bench. Diana turned her back to Hippolyta knowing she wanted to braid her hair as she used to when she was younger.
"Word travels, Diana…"
"I know…"
"Those heathens should be thrown into a dungeon."
Diana giggled. "No worries. They will be punished. I am shocked however for the women who aligned themselves with those men."
"Well, Diana, there are those that are misguided. Chooses men with power than respecting sisterhood."
"And my job is to ensure that there is a voice for those who want to stand up against the misguided and the corrupt use of power."
"I am proud of you, Diana. I don't say that often enough. But I am."
Diana turned her head and smiled. "I know, Mother. I feel it in my heart. I have you right beside me in spirit with every decision I make."
"That gives me such joy. However, your path of…campanionship, I see has a different turn. Which I am relieved of if the one who has marked my daughter is who I believe to be."
Diana's eyes widen.
Not even home for an hour and Mother is alluding to talking about heirs or trying to confirm what she obviously already knows. But it doesn't make it any better that Kal left this very vivid mark on my neck I can barely keep covered.
"Why didn't Kal-El come with you?" Hippolyta asked.
"I wanted him to but he said that I needed some alone time with you. He also wanted me to have some time and space to think."
"Well that was very generous of him. And I'm guessing that this was his parting gift to you?" She pointed at the mark on Diana's neck.
Diana blushed profusely. "Mother, I…"
"It is alright, Diana. You are a grown woman. But… what is there for you to think about if you are this intimate?"
"Kal has made it known for a very long time how much he cares for me. We've built a strong bond as best friends and professional partners. Of course, those feelings have evolved. Our professional relationship becoming more personal. He became very protective of me and the way he…" Diana blushed and shook her head.
I'm actually speaking with my Mother about this. She is the one I should go to after all and I need her to understand my feelings not only as my Mother but as the Queen.
"Diana?"
"When he looks at me, I can see the heated passion and love. When he holds me in his arms, I feel so safe and protected. Being with him, I'm comfortable, I'm happy and relaxed. I…I feel like I'm right at home."
"You've fallen in love with him. It was obvious from the first time you brought him here without asking." Hippolyta raised her brow.
"I knew you would say no without giving him a chance. He showed you how genuine he truly is."
"Yes, I can't deny how impressive he was. A very kind, respectable young man. One that stole my daughter's heart long before either of you even realized."
Diana couldn't help but smile.
"What is it that's bothering you, Diana? It seems as though you've already made your decision whether I agreed or not."
"My decision isn't quite clear yet until I'm sure that I don't have to choose between my duty as future Queen and having a family of my own with the man I love. We are partners through and through with our civilian and heroic work but my royal obligations to be here…?"
"Diana, listen to me. My dear, you have forged your own path. You have stood strong on your beliefs. You have been guided by what's in your heart. Once you are Queen, it is up to you how things will either remain or change for the better of Themyscira. I thought that I was doing right as your Mother and as Queen protecting you as best I could. I'll admit, at times, when I look back on things, I seemed overbearing, overprotective…sheltering you. But Diana, you were my gift after longing for a child of my own. One day, you will understand that exact feeling when you bare children. The difference however, is that you will have Kal-El at your side."
Diana's heart fluttered.
"Mother, are you…are you giving us your blessing?!"
"He has proven himself worthy of my daughter's love. I trust him enough that he will take care of your heart. Though, if he dares cause you to shed a tear, I will rip his heart out and feed it to a lion!"
Diana gasped. "Oh, Gods! MOTHER!"
Hippolyta arched her brow. "I am very serious, Diana."
"I know. But there's no need for that. Ever."
"That gives me relief. It would be tragic for a man such as he who has gained the trust of the Amazons to end up being one hunted down by the Amazons."
Diana couldn't help but giggle and she embraced her mother.
"Thank you, Mother!"
"I love you, my Dear!"
"I love you, too!"
Meanwhile, Gotham City Docks
"Don't come to my city again!" Batman yelled at Aquaman.
"You needed help, Bruce. Your pride won't be that damaged."
Bruce narrowed his eyes. "I'm warning you, Arthur."
"Or what?"
Bruce looked to see a shark swimming close to the dock.
"Cut it out. I expect this from Hal and Billy."
"Clark," Arthur and Bruce said in unison looking up at him floating down to them.
They then turned to each other frowning.
"Why are you here, Clark?" Bruce asked.
"I need to talk to Arthur. Maybe you need to listen too, Bruce. You need to finally settle down yourself."
"Woah?! Wait a minute? Are you going to propose to Diana?" Arthur asked.
"I'm planning to…but…It's complicated right now. She's going to be full speed ahead focusing on this trial. I want to make sure everything is right when it's over."
"I don't think you have anything to worry about. From what Mera has said, Diana would say yes before you can finish asking. Remember, last year at our wedding anniversary party? If anybody didn't know any better they would've thought it was you two having the anniversary."
Clark chuckled.
"Seriously, don't think about it too much. You and Diana have something special that just feels right."
"Thanks, Arthur."
No problem." Arthur shook Clark's hand. "See? It's simple," he said to Bruce.
"I need to get to GCPD." Bruce narrowed his eyes. "Both of you need to leave and stay out of my city and my business." He walked away to the Batmobile, jumping in and sped off.
Arthur and Clark looked at each other and shrugged.
"Well, I have to get back to Metropolis. Deadline. Hey, maybe we can plan for a double date?"
"Mera's going to love that. She'll definitely take over the planning. Catch you, later, Clark!"
As Arthur jumped into the water, Clark took off into the skies.
"Can't wait for you to come back home to me, Diana. We got big things ahead for us."
Metropolis: Clark Kent's Apartment
Clark received a phone call as he was walking into his apartment.
"Hey, Ma!"
"Clark! Oh, it's so good to finally hear your voice!"
"Sorry I haven't called, Ma. Dealing with a lot."
"Yes, I know. That's why I'm calling. Pa and I wanted to check on you and Diana. We saw the video of you in that brawl."
"It wasn't a brawl, Ma."
"No, our boy gave him a good ol' right hook!" Jonathan said in the background.
Clark chuckled.
"You two…" Martha shook her head. "Now Clark, you've made it quite clear your feelings for Diana. I've told you time and time again there was no use in hiding it."
"I know, Ma. I haven't. I mean not with Diana. She's known how I feel about her it was just…we were trying to keep things professional."
"The heart wants what the heart want, Son. That's something you can't fight for long."
"Yeah…well that's why when Diana gets back from Themyscira…I'm…well it's too early to propose but that's something I do want to do. I want to marry her, Ma. I'm going to. But I need something to solidify that promise. Her birthday is coming up, too. I don't know what to get that's perfect for her."
"Don't overthink, Clark. Think of something that's simple but very meaningful to the both of you. That reflects your feelings for her."
"Hmm…" Clark pondered for a minute. "Thanks, Ma. I think I got it!"
"Glad to be of help. I hope that one of these days before we get any older you'll visit home, too? Bring Diana along?"
"Of course, Ma! I know Diana and I are definitely ready for your home cooking!"
One week later… Themyscira
I enjoy being home sharing so many laughs with my sisters. Kadi is sure enjoying herself flying around. I do miss this as it was simpler times for me not having to care for anything more than studies and training. I don't regret the path I've chosen, though, now with weight of the world on my shoulders, I understand why Kal takes the time to go back to Smallville. Coming home, brings us back to our beginnings to rejuvenate us.
"Princess! Princess! Come on, wait! That's not fair! You run too fast!"
Diana laughed and stopped abruptly. "I'm sorry, Aisha."
"Nevermind the Princess, she goes off into her own little world from time to time. Especially when she's thinking of that Kryptonian," Remi laughed and teased.
"Oh! That's right! The royal Amazons seem to be entitled to the men of divinity while us, mere Amazons are saddled with mere mortal men."
"It's not like that at all, Aisha."
"Oh? So he isn't divine?"
"He is divine in his own right. But he is most importantly a very humbled soul."
"What is it like, Princess?" Aisha asked. "To have such a committed lover as he? Whether divine or not, men fear commitment. We as Amazons do not care for commitment either unless something special is forged between."
"Even the Queen did not commit."
"Well…" Remi started. "That's different. The Queen and the King of the Gods was a love affair of chaos."
Diana sighed.
Remi and Aisha gasped. "Apologies, Princess!"
"No, it's alright. It's true after all."
"But out of all the chaos, we have our beautiful Princess!" Remi and Aisha hugged Diana.
"Thank you, both." Diana hugged them back.
"Now tell us!" Aisha demanded excitedly. "What is he like?"
Diana blushed and smiled. "He is very gracious, giving. We haven't…well…he is very talented with his hands."
"Oh?!" Remi and Aisha smirked.
"We want to take our time before going further."
"Ah, so as they say…foreplay. Hm? That is quite a different approach, Diana."
"It's not just a one time thing with us. Not just temporary pleasure. It's also more than pleasure. I trust him. He is so protective and honorable."
"He is like a guard?"
"Yes, in a way." Diana smiled. "He guards my heart."
4 days later…Back in Metropolis, Daily Planet
Lois walked over to Clark's desk placing her tablet in front of him.
Confused, Clark quirked his brow. "What am I suppose to be looking at?"
"The chaos your supposed girlfriend has started. I commend her for it but leaving to hide out in Timbuktu is just poor taste."
"She isn't hiding, Lois. She just went to visit her mom."
"Sure. So why didn't you go with her? She left you didn't she? Hurled you into a mess like a damsel then dropped you like a sad sack of potatoes."
"That's very ironic Lois with how you've hurled yourself into things for Superman. But enough of the insults, Lois. Whatever you think of Diana, it isn't true. There's no story here. I'm not letting you drag Diana's name for nothing but your own speculation."
"Woah! Overprotective much! She's a big girl, Smallville. Whatever is published, whether from us or someone else…which I won't let happen because this is my story to break, she would address it right? I'm making sure the truth is told. If Ms. Perfect truly is the Ms. Perfect she presents herself to be there's nothing to worry about." Lois then raised her brow. "With you being on edge, though. You know Perry will be pissed if you are helping cover up something."
"Diana and I have nothing to hide. I am trying to protect her because she has done nothing but do her damn job just as I'm doing."
"And I'm doing my damn job! I'll take your word for now. But if something else, comes up, Smallville, I'm not stopping my story."
Clark sighed as Lois walked away. He picked up his phone and stared at his lock screen of him and Diana while she was sitting on his lap.
That gorgeous smile of hers…those luscious pouty lips, he loved kissing. Those beautiful cerulean eyes of hers that pierced deep into his soul. The feel of her curvaceous soft body in his arms was a heavenly gift.
"It's you and me, Di," he said under his breath, making a vow.
Themyscira: Horses' Stable
Diana hummed happily as she was feeding her horse, slices of apple.
"Chirp! Chirp!"
Kadi dove fast and swiped a piece of an apple slice from Diana.
"Kadi! Don't be rude!"
"Chirp!"
"I don't find that amusing at all. You know better."
"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"
Kadi was becoming a sassy little firecracker. It puzzled Diana still as to where Kadi came from.
Diana shook her head and giggled. "Wait until we get back home and I tell Kal about all of what you've done since being being here."
"Chirp! Chirp!"
"I miss him, too. Is that why you are acting out? We will get back home in a few more days."
"Princess Diana?"
Diana turned to see Wanda, an elder Amazon bowed.
"Oh, no, Wanda. No need for that. Is there anything wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong, Princess…" Wanda smiled assuringly. "Though, I have something for you."
"Oh?"
"It will be in your chambers later today."
"Wanda?"
She smiled, stepping closer to Diana and cupped her cheek.
"I remember the little girl who used to rip so much clothing because she went venturing in the forest."
Diana smiled. "I'm sorry for ruining so many beautiful dresses."
"No need to apologize. If the Gods see fit, I will still be here to not only craft you more dresses but if and when you provide the next heir."
Diana's heart fluttered. "Wanda, I…" she paused and blushed. "It will be an honor for you to craft our children's clothing."
"Our?" Wanda raised a brow. "So it is true? Our Princess has solidified a mate. The man not of earth."
"Yes."
Wanda smiled. "I and many of the other elders approve of him."
Tears welled up in Diana's eyes and she hugged her. "Thank you. It brings me joy to know that Kal-El is welcomed!"
I had prayed to the Gods for guidance and answers. Kal had proven time and time again he could be trusted. I didn't want to choose between anymore. For so long I had chosen to put everyone else above myself. It's not to neglect my duties and responsibilities nor am I putting my home in danger. But I want my happiness just as much. Kal will be by my side as we guide and support each other as well as protecting our homes along with the rest of the world.
3 days later…
Hippolyta cupped Diana's cheeks and kissed her forehead.
"My dear daughter…be well. Do not wait too long to come back home."
"I know, Mother. I'm sorry for my long absence."
"I understand your work is important. I don't want you to ever feel pressured nor overwhelmed."
"It's a lot to handle but I've always been up for a challenge."
Hippolyta smiled. "Yes, you have. From the moment you could crawl and even more so when you began walking and talking." Hippolyta tried to hold back her tears but she couldn't as she pulled Diana into tight embrace. "I love you, Diana."
"Oh, Mother, I love you, too!"
Pulling back, Diana wiped her mother's tears. Kadi flew to Hippolyta rubbing her tiny head against Hippolyta's cheek.
"Be sure next visit Kal-El accompanies you."
"Of course!"
Hours Later…Metropolis Late Afternoon, Daily Planet
"So Clark, I got this photoshoot gig for Mayor Dalton's daughter, IsaBelle," Jimmy stated. "You know we've been talking for a while. I want to ask her on a proper date and I need a wingman! If Dalton wants to talk…give a good word, you know?"
"He can't help you, Olsen," Lois said. "He can't even keep a girlfriend for a week despite being dramatic beating his chest and bucking up to another guy in front of her. If she wasn't falling for you with that…"
"Lois, I've already said-"
"Yeah…yeah…she's suppose to be visiting her mom. It's been 2 weeks. You haven't heard anything from her at all?"
"That's because-"
"Because she dumped you and high tailed it to Timbuktu."
"Come on, Lois, we both met Diana a few times and she isn't like that at all. CK is too cool to be dumped."
"It could've been an act Jimmy. No one is that perfect or nice. Especially someone that looks like her with someone like Smallville? I couldn't see it lasting at all and I was right. It didn't."
"You know what, Lois, I-"
"You what? Can't think of an excuse?"
Clark stood up looking in the direction of the elevator doors.
"Smallville?!"
"Clark? Hey, buddy, you okay?" Jimmy asked looking at him concerned.
Clark could hear that glorious familiar melody of a heartbeat. He smiled as the elevator doors opened.
"Diana," he said under his breath.
All eyes were on Diana Prince as she stepped out of the elevator wearing an elegant form fitting red wine silk 3/4 roll sleeve tie front knot blouse with plaid print retro skinny pants and crème color heels.
"Who's that?"
"Diana Prince!"
Whistles.
"Well, hello, Ms. Amabassador!"
"Woah!"
Diana smiled and gave a polite slight nod greeting everyone as she was walking to Clark's desk.
Jimmy kept hitting Clark's arm. "Dude! She's back!"
"Yeah…" Clark had a goofy grin in awe of her. "Yeah…"
When their eyes met, Diana blushed.
Clark's body began to move before he could even think twice.
As soon as she was in reach, Clark grabbed her by her waist pulling her into an embrace, lifting her up a bit. Diana wrapped her arms around his neck embracing him just as tight.
"Hi," Diana whispered dreamily as she pulled back slightly to look into his eyes.
"Hi," Clark whispered back with a smirk.
I can see it in his eyes and feel it as he holds me. He is trying to keep his composure just as I am. If we were alone, he would have had me on top of one of these desks. Or maybe I would have had him…
"I don't mean to interrupt you at work. I just wanted to surprise you."
"No, not at all. A much welcomed surprise! I missed you, Diana."
"I missed you, too, Clark."
It was like we forgot about everyone around.
Clark cupped Diana's cheek and leaned in capturing her lips in a soft passionate kiss.
He doesn't care at all. He didn't hesitate. He wants everyone to know that we are together.
Lois cleared her throat loudly. "Uh? This is not the time nor the place!"
Clark and Diana broke their kiss grinning bashfully.
"You're right, Lois. That's why I'm taking an early leave. I'll give Perry a call letting him know I won't be coming back in the office until further notice."
Clark shut down his laptop and gathering all his papers, putting them in his laptop bag.
"James, Lois, it is a pleasure to see you both."
Jimmy jumped in front of Lois smiling. "The pleasure is all mine!"
Lois pushed Jimmy out of the way. "Go wipe your drool, Olsen." Lois then turned her attention back to Clark and Diana. "I guess you'll be refusing an interview, Diana?"
"I'm sorry, Lois. But yes, I will not speak until the press conference I will be holding in about another 2 or 3 weeks."
"I think you owe Clark an apology, Ms. Lane," Jimmy teased.
"I don't owe Smallville shi-"
"An apology? For what?" Diana questioned look up at Clark confused.
"Don't worry about it. It was noth-"
"Lois, was taunting poor Clarkie all this time saying that you left him out in the cold," Cat Grant said walking up.
"Hi, Catherine. I was not aware visiting my home island would be an issue?"
"It's not, Di. Don't worry."
"No, I'd like to hear what was the issue. Lois?"
I don't often converse with Kal's reporter co-workers. Mostly it's been James playful pick up lines or trying to tease Kal about us. Lois has always been a bit stand-offish with me. I know why, but I don't understand it. I don't think I ever will. I'm sure I don't even want to.
"Well, Diana. It's just that…" Lois shrugged. "Oh, hell. I don't sugarcoat anything. I'm just being honest. Smallville is just a country mouse. I just don't see how or why anyone like you would give him a second glance."
"Like me?"
"A woman of higher sophistication, high standards."
Diana nodded slightly. "I see. We don't have to explain anything that goes on between us. Clark and I have bonded over things that will remain just between us. This country mouse is very handsome, charming, respectful, loyal, and devoted to me." Diana looked to Clark and smiled. "Any standards I may have, Clark exceeds them. As I tell my students and well…it should be known for us adults not to judge anyone before truly getting to know them."
"Did that answer your question, Lane?" Cat taunted.
"Shut it!" Lois hissed.
"We should go now, Di. Can't wait to see Kadi."
"Kadi? Who's that?" Jimmy asked.
"Our little bird we've been taking care of," Clark smiled. "I'll see you all later!"
Clark took Diana hand and she happily latched onto his arm.
Once they got into the elevator and the doors closed, Clark let out a heavy sigh.
Diana frowned looking up at him.
"What's wrong?"
Clark looked at her and placed a kiss on her forehead. "I'm sorry, Di. That was uncalled for."
"It's okay. It's something that shouldn't be but expected. Diana Prince and Clark Kent are in the public eye just as much as Wonder Woman and Superman. Either way, others will have their opinions about our relationship but it doesn't matter. All that matters is us and how we feel."
Clark smiled and placed another kiss on her forehead.
Outside of the building, Clark laughed as he picked up Diana, spinning around, surprising her.
"Oh, Clark?!"
"I miss my sexy, soft, and sweet…muffin!" He planted kisses all over her face.
We were getting looks and stares but Kal still doesn't care.
"Goodness!" Diana beamed cupping his cheek. "With your excitement now, I'm curious to know if you are having anything in mind for the evening?" Diana reached to kissed his cheek. "I surely do."
Clark grinned setting her back down then took her hand intertwining their fingers. "Well I want to just take you home and have you in my arms for the rest of the day. Clothes may not be included."
Diana laughed. "I figured that much and I had the same idea."
"Sense I won't be going into the office, I'll stay with you in London. Someone's birthday is Saturday and I have that planned."
Diana smirked. "Oh… so what exactly is planned?"
"Can't say. But it's going to be a good day…and night."
Diana latched onto his arm tighter. "As long as I'm with you. That's the best birthday gift. It's the best gift everyday."
"And you are my everyday gift, Diana. I love you." He kissed the top of her head.
"I love you, too, Kal."
Clark Kent's Apartment
Diana sat on the edge of Clark's bed.
"Won't take me long to get a couple of things packed."
"No rush. Kadi is alright for a little while longer if need be."
"Yeah, how was she? I'm sure she loved the Garden?"
Diana smiled. "Yes! She loved flying around everywhere. But she did give a little trouble."
"Huh? What happened?"
"Nothing too bad. She's pretty strong for such a tiny little thing. We still haven't figured out where she came from. I don't know if it was just me dreaming but I could've sworn she started glowing at night. She did stay up a few nights as well, flying to my balcony thinking that you would come."
"Glowing? Interesting. Ah, she missed me!"
"Yes, she did but not as much as I missed you."
Clark paused and quirked his brow looking to Diana.
Diana leaned back on the bed on her elbows giving Clark a 'come hether' look.
And he did just that. He dropped his bag of clothes and practically pounced on top of her making her laugh. He wasted no time attacking her neck.
"Ah! Kal, you keep doing this and you're going to let the whole world know even more I'm yours having the same reaction my Mother did."
"Wait? What!?" He looked up at her surprised.
Diana cupped his face and leaned forward giving him a soft peck.
"Don't worry. Mother was relieved that it was you who had marked me. She said she knew this would be. You and I, from the moment I told her about you and brought you to Themyscira."
"I'm glad she doesn't hold that against me."
"Because you impressed her with just being you. Such a loving, kind, compassionate, strong, yet gentle, honorable, respective man. She and my sisters trust you, Kal. They know that you are worthy of my heart. It took us so long to realize our obvious feelings for each other and finally take the step to where we are now."
"Hippolyta knows about everything that's going on with the trial? What happened with Keith?"
"Yes, she does and she wants him and the others to be thrown into a dungeon or worse. She also knows about you standing up for me. The video has reached far and wide. Kal, as much as I love what you did for me, I don't want this to negatively affect you."
"Di, what would affect me is if I didn't protect you. I let things go too far thinking I was stepping out of line. But with you, knowing you, knowing how I feel about you and what you deserve, I had to do what I felt was right. I would do it all over again." Clark caressed her cheek. "I wasted so much of our time because I thought I was doing right but it wasn't. It wasn't right for us. This, though…this is right. I love you."
"Gods, I love you, too. But Kal, no time has been wasted. We've grown together. We've forged a bond like no other. It's a tough road but as long as it leads to us, together…just like this. It's all worth it."
Clark smiled and captured her lips.
Hours later, London: Diana's Condominium
Clark and Diana were relaxing laying cuddled on one the reclining chaises. Diana slowly trailed her finger down his chest, tracing the contours of his abs.
Clark tightened his grip around Diana placing a kiss on her forehead.
"This is nice. Cool breeze, beautiful view of the sunset. You shirtless…"
Clark smirked. "Well you stole my shirt and wouldn't let me put on another one."
Diana laughed softly. "You don't need one on at all."
"I don't…" Clark skimmed his hand down her side. "Especially when it means you'll be wearing it and it definitely looks sexy on you."
Diana blushed.
"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!" Kadi landed on top of Clark's head. "Chirp!"
"She's still mad at you, Kal," Diana teased.
"Come on, Kadi! I'm here now."
"Chirp!" She pecked the top of his head.
"Ow! Wait… that actually hurts!"
She pecked his head again and his hand.
"Ow! Ow!"
Clark and Diana both sat up quickly and Diana cupped Kadi in her hands.
"No! No! Calm down, little one."
Clark winced.
Diana gasped seeing blood on his hand. "Kal! Beloved, you're bleeding!" Diana quickly got up to place Kadi in her cage. "You will be in time out for a little while until you calm down and want to apologize."
Kadi stubbornly turned facing away from Diana.
Diana shook her head and quickly went to get a warm wet towel.
"Here, Beloved, let me." Diana took Clark's hand wiping his blood. She then examined his head. "It was just your hand bleeding. Are you okay other than that?"
"Sort of stings still but yeah, it's okay. I had my suspicions, too, but this definitely proves it. Kadi is not an ordinary little bird. We'll have to take her to the Fortress lab to get checked."
"Yes, I agree. She is the only of her kind we've seen around here. She just appeared that day. She also flies around faster than a falcon and is starting to have the appetite of a chimera!"
Clark chuckled. "Yeah…" Clark grinning at Diana.
"What is it?"
"I think I heard correctly…but I could've sworn you called me Beloved twice…? It might have been Kadi pecking my head though."
Diana smiled. "You heard correctly." She reached up to kiss him softly.
Clark wrapped his arms around Diana's waist and lifted her. Diana smiled against his lips instinctively wrapping her legs around his waist.
Gods, what a man! My man…
"Chirp…"
"She wants to apologize," Diana said as she broke their kiss.
Diana unwrapped her legs around Clark and he set her down.
"This isn't a trick to start attacking me again right?"
"Chirp! Chirp!"
"She promises it's not a trick."
"Alright." Clark opened her cage slowly.
As soon as the opening was wide enough, Kadi zoomed out directly to Clark's shoulder cuddling against his neck.
"Aw! How precious!" Diana gushed.
"Chirp…chirp…chirp…"
"She doesn't want us to be without you again, Kal." Diana hugged herself.
I don't know what this is coming over me. But I'm feeling exactly what Kadi is feeling. I felt it back home too…both of us, missing him…afraid to lose him.
"Di?"
She snapped out of her daze and looked at him with a sympathetic smile.
"I guess I understand why Kadi attacked you. It was an emotional response. Neither one of us want to be without you."
"Diana…" Clark wrapped his arms around her. "You're stuck with me. I'm not ever going anywhere and I'm not ever letting you go."
Tears welled up in Diana's eyes as she embraced him. "Clark…" Diana held onto him tighter. "I'm not ever letting you go either."
3 days later…Auckland, New Zealand
Known as the city of sails, Auckland is built on a narrow strip of land surrounded by two harbours, dotted with 50 picturesque islands. It is the main hub for cruise ships to New Zealand. Cruise ships will berth at either Princes or Queens Wharf, which are both in downtown Auckland.
"Oh, Dear! This has been a joyous vacation!"
"Happy 35th anniversary, Sharee!"
"Happy 35th, Darrell!"
As the happy couple was about to share a kiss, the ground shook violently. There was a loud slash as if a bomb went off under water.
Sharee gasped. "Darrell?"
"I…I don't kn-"
A large wave of water rose. They heard a creaking sound and looked towards their cruise ship.
"Does the ship looks like it's leaning over?!" Sharee questioned grabbing onto her husband's hand tightly.
"Sharee, we need to get moving now!"
The ship was leaning more and loud screams was heard. The ground shook again.
"Oh my God! What is that?!"
Coming up from the water was a giant man.
"I will squash all of you like the ants you are!" he roared.
The giant man raised his foot over the cruise ship.
As he was about to drop his foot on the ship, he was stopped.
The giant then was then pushed back creating yet another ground shaking splash.
As they were trying to fun, Sharee tripped over her heel. She gasped not able to catch herself. Just as she was about to hit the pavement, Sharee was swooped up along with her husband.
"Are you alright?"
Sharee looked up and gasped. "Wonder Woman!"
"Hello. Superman and I will handle this. We just need everyone sheltered in a safe zone."
Sharee gave her a grateful smile.
Meanwhile, Superman hurried to move the cruise ship.
"Who dared to disrupt Tooroo?!"
Tooroo, an athlete from the Planet G, home of the Space Giants.
Tooroo noticed Superman holding up the ship flying away.
"A flying ant? Interesting. I will enjoy squishing you even more so!"
As Tooroo reached for Superman, his hand was suddenly pulled back by a golden rope around his wrist.
"Huh?" He questioned looking back. "Two flying ants?"
"Who are you calling an ant?!" Wonder Woman yanked his arm back as hard as she could.
As Tooroo was going back, Wonder Woman punched him.
I have to get him to another area away from the others.
Wonder Woman punched him again making him move stumbling to the Anchor Bay Beach area.
Tooroo shook his head trying to focus.
"You've made Tooroo angry!"
Tooroo reached for Diana, but she quickly moved flying up above him. As she was about to try to pull him again, Tooroo grabbed onto lasso yanking Wonder Woman to him. He grabbed her immediately began squeezing her within his hand. Diana squirmed trying to get free of his grasp.
"It's no use!"
As he squeezed tighter, Diana was losing her breath and consciousness.
"Let her go!"
Superman punched Tooroo, his grip loosen and Wonder Woman fell through his hand. Superman quickly caught her.
"Di?"
She inhaled deeply catching her breath before opening her eyes.
"I'm okay."
"I'll handle him."
"No, we do this together."
"We need to knock him out."
"I've heard of giants like him before. He wants a competition. Like the Olympics."
"I'm not sure what we can compete with?"
Wonder Woman smirked. "Boulder throwing."
"Boulder throwing?"
"Remember when you told me you used to throw a baseball by yourself and it would go around the world and came back to you in a matter of seconds?"
"Uh…? Hmm..? Oh! I got it."
Wonder Woman winked then flew to Tooroo.
"You want a challenge? A game of sorts?"
"What? Ha! You challenged me ant woman?!"
"Yes. Us against you. One throw of a boulder."
Tooroo laughed. "I'm going to enjoy this victory! My Love, Rikkaa, will rejoice!" Tooroo reached for a boulder. "Watch, little ants!"
Tooroo spun around and threw the boulder as hard as he could. It landed far off on a small minor island. Tooroo smirked.
Wonder Woman wrapped her lasso around a boulder. Superman flew closely behind her grabbing hold of her waist and the lasso.
He definitely loves taking any opportunity, even in battle. I can't deny…I love it, too.
Superman and Wonder Woman spun in the air then released the boulder at fast speed.
Tooroo was curious to where it will land and actually enjoyed watching the boulder fly at lightening speed.
"Was that enough?"
"Yeah, just a few more seconds."
"What is this? Where is it?! Is this a trick?!" Tooroo questioned angrily.
"It's no trick. Just keep looking there very closely and it's going to land on its target."
"Huh? Wher-…!" Suddenly, before Tooroo could blink again, the boulder came fast striking him right in the face.
He stumbled back and fell immediately unconscious.
"Direct hit! We make a phenomenal team, Di…in more ways than one." Superman smiled taking her hand intertwining their fingers. "There's somewhere I want to take you when we are done here."
"Oh? Where?"
"You'll see," he smiled kissing her cheek. "Lantern?" He said through his communicator. "Come in, Lantern."
"What?!"
"We have cargo that needs to get back to Planet G."
"PLANET G?! Are you kidding me?!"
"If it's too much to handle, call in John, Simon, and Jessica."
"Nothing is too much for Hal Jordan to handle."
"Just get here before he gains consciousness."
"Fine."
Diana rolled her eyes. "Ridiculous."
"Don't worry about him. Come on. Let's make sure the locals are alright then we can go."
30 minutes later…
Superman and Wonder Woman made sure the cruise ship was safe to board.
"Thank you, Wonder Woman, again, for saving me wife. I'm not sure what I would do."
Wonder Woman smiled and gave Darrell a slight nod.
She watched as the loving couple boarded the ship holding hands.
Their love is so evident and beautiful.
"Di?"
"Oh?" She looked up at Superman with a smile.
Just as our love is evident and beautiful.
"Ready to go?"
She nodded taking his hand. He smiled back at her flying up to the skies.
Milford Sound
Milford Sound is a fiord off the west coast of New Zealand's South Island. It is highly regarded as one of the most popular tourist destinations in New Zealand. It is one of the most dramatic natural wonders in the world, with its pristine waterways and dramatic peaks. It's also known as the land of a thousand waterfalls.
As Clark and Diana landed on the highest mountain peak, Clark took off his cape and wrapped it around Diana.
"Thank you." She kissed his cheek.
They sat on the edge, Diana in front of Clark between his legs. She leaned back against his chest as he wrapped his arms around her. She sighed lovingly.
"This feels so good and the view is stunning!"
"Yeah, it is." He kissed her temple. "But I know an even more stunning view."
Diana giggled. "You, charmer."
"It's the truth. I'm the luckiest man in the galaxy to have the most beautiful, sexy, stunning woman in the galaxy in my arms."
"Mhmm…keep up that sweet talk, Mister. We may end up unclothed right here."
"Oh, really?" Clark smirked kissing her neck. "Well let me amp it up a bit. Talking you out of your clothes is a newly discovered superpower I will be thoroughly enjoying."
Diana bursted out laughed.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked.
"Hm..how did you know?"
"That look in your eyes when we were making sure the passengers of the ship boarded safely."
"This world is just so beautiful. The people are beautiful. We fight off the ugliness everyday to preserve the beauty. Kal, seeing that lovely couple today…how in love they are with one another, it's so motivating. Not just being Wonder Woman, an Educator and an Ambassador but…" Diana turned her head slightly to look at him. "But being with you. Being your woman."
Clark smiled cupping her cheek bringing her lips to his in a soft sweet kiss.
"Diana, you just don't know how much you've motivated me. I know and understand my purpose. I will never let this world fall down the path Krypton did. I see the beauty, too, especially through your beautiful eyes. There is so much more for us to see and experience together."
"There's nothing holding us back. There's no reason to hide our love. You told me to be ready for us and I am, Kal. I'm more than ready to continue this journey with you."
Clark held onto her tighter. "I'm proud to admit how prideful I am to be your man and you are my woman." He captured her lips in a passionate kiss. "I love you, Diana. I love you so much."
"I love you, too, Kal-El."
2 days later…Saturday Morning: Diana's Condominium
Diana floated gracefully to the kitchen to the smell of something very sweet.
"Good Moning, Kal!"
"Morning!" He turned with a huge grin on his face presenting her with fresh muffins. "Happy Birthday, Diana! Muffins for my muffin!"
Diana smiled and blushed. "Oh, Kal! Thank you!"
Clark placed the muffin tray down and grabbed Diana by her waist pulling her into a loving embrace, kissing her.
"Damn. Yeah, there's no doubt my muffin is sweeter." He placed soft kisses all over her face and lifted her to sit on the counter. "Your phone has been going off every 10 minutes with calls, voicemails, and text messages."
"Oh, I'll get to those a little later."
"I got the whole day planned out. We won't be going out until later this evening, though. Prepare to be pampered all day, Ms. Prince. You also have some gift deliveries piling up. Some were delivered to your office yesterday so I went there earlier to get them for you. Also stopped by Bruce's, he of course gave a check."
"You are the best! And of course Bruce can only give us checks for our birthdays and like always we give them to charity anyway." Diana pecked his lips before picking up a muffin to try. Taking a bite, Diana moaned. "By the Gods! This is so good!" Diana pecked his lips again before taking another bite. "Thank you, Kal." She then took a sip of the coffee he made her.
"No need to thank me, Di." He watched her proudly as she finished the whole muffin. "Now it's my turn."
Diana squealed and giggled as he leaned in to kiss her neck. "You know I thought you meant it was your turn to eat a muffin."
"I am eating a muffin," he whispered huskily making her squeal and giggle again as he playfully bit her neck.
Diana's home phone started to ring.
"That's Mera. Go ahead and answer. I'll go check on Kadi. See how she's enjoying her bird bath."
"Okay…" Diana wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him into a kiss before Clark picked her back up to set her down from the counter.
Diana watched with a smile as Clark walked towards the patio.
"Hello?"
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Princess Diana!" Mera sung.
"Thank you, Mera!"
"Oh? I'm sorry. I didn't even ask. Am I interrupting something?"
"No. Kal just made me some very delicious muffins this morning. He is out with Kadi now."
"Oooh! Clark has been staying with you since you got back from Themyscira. You told me about that unexpected rendezvous before you left but seems like you two have made things completely official now...especially in the bedroom."
Diana remained silent for a moment.
"Diana?"
"We…have and haven't."
"What?! Come on, Diana! What are you waiting for?!"
"We are waiting for the right night. We want it to be special."
"There's no better night than tonight."
Diana smiled to herself. "Well, Kal did say he had the whole day planned."
Mera squealed. "Oh! Then tonight is definitely going to be the night! Well, Princess, I'll let you go! You and Clark need your alone time uninterrupted. I'll check back with you Monday but if you don't answer I already know it's because you two are still enjoying each other!"
Diana blushed profusely. "I'll talk to you then if not later, Mera."
Hanging up, Diana shook her head not able to stop smiling.
Suddenly feeling strong arms around her waist, she jumped slightly and her body tensed for a moment.
"Kal…did you hear any of that?"
He kissed the side of her neck.
"No. Was I suppose to?"
Diana relaxed in his arms and shook her head. "Mera was just inquiring about some things between us. You staying here for the passed few days and all…," Diana trailed off.
I don't know why I'm all of a sudden feeling so nervous about this.
"Oh. Is there something wrong with that?"
"No, not at all! You know Mera is very supportive of us. She's just sort of wanting us to speed things along." Diana tried laughing it off and shook her head.
Clark pondered for a moment. "I see..." He kissed the side of her neck again. "Well, what I have to say about that is tonight will be part one and then after the trial, we will be going full speed ahead even more so."
Diana's heart dropped. She quickly turned in his arms to face him staring into his eyes.
He smirked taking in her beauty. Diana had her hair tied in a messy bun and was wearing only his T-shirt.
He leaned in to lovingly kiss her.
"You are just breathtaking with your hair pulled up like that. I love you, you know that right?" he mumbled against her lips.
"You charmer…Of course…there was never any doubt about that."
As the kiss between them deepened, Clark's tongue lightly traced Diana's lower lip and as he parted her lips for her, Diana ever so slightly groaned into their kiss.
"I was thinking…a body massage." The mischievous smirk crept back onto his lips as his voice was laced in the sexiest husky tone.
Diana's heart fluttered.
Gods this man! Knowing exactly what I need!
"Oh…Kal…you don't have to."
Clark hugged her to his chest in a loving squeeze. He felt her melt against him, and he planted his lips in her silky raven hair.
"I want to and you deserve it."
Diana blushed, looking up at him and nodded.
Clark grinned swooping her up in his arms and dashed off back to the bedroom. He gently laid her down to retrieve the massage oil he brought from the Fortress.
"So I know it's not anything like the oils from Themyscira. But Kryptonian oils are good. Along with my father's journals, my mother had some, too. She studied more of cultures and species, natural herbs and gems of various planets."
"That's quite intriguing! I feel as though Lara and I would've gotten along quite well."
"From just reading her journals. How she articulated things and just knowing some of her interests so far, yeah most definitely. That's why I want you to know everything about Krypton and my family lineage, too, Diana. You deserve and need to know."
Diana leaned forward kissing him softly. "It is a great honor."
"It's an even greater honor to have you in my life and share this with you, Di."
Clark started lifting her shirt. Diana smiled taking off her shirt completely. Clark trialed his eyes down her naked body.
"God, you're beautiful." He leaned forward and lips found their home in the corner of her neck, giving her a long, deep kiss.
Diana giggled. "Kal…you're going to mark me again?"
"Mhmm…" he mumbled against her neck.
Diana happily wrapped her arms around him letting him continue on ravishing her neck.
Mera is right. There's no reason to wait any longer. This man has already had my heart for so long. I've given him my body to do as he pleased with his hands, marking me with his lips and that has certainly pleased me. However, we both want more. We both want to be completely connected as one.
Clark finally released her neck from his lips.
"Turn around and lay flat for me."
Diana nodded.
She was lying flat on her stomach and utterly vulnerable. Clark leaned down along her legs and planted his lips on her spine. He trailed kisses up to her neck. He pour the oil in his hand and began to apply the massage oil to her, letting his hands roam across her back until they found her shoulders.
"Oh Gods you are going to put me back to sleep."
Clark laughed against her neck.
He pressed his thumbs into her muscle and she let out a long moan.
"Is that okay?" he asked, rubbing her shoulders beneath his hands.
"It's perfect…" came her breathless reply.
Clark continued his massage, eventually moving down her back. His fingers ran along her sunkissed skin in soothing motions, feeling for little knots and working diligently to remove them. He picked up her left arm and brought her hand up to my lips, and he grazed her palm with a kiss. He continued kissing her fingers as he rubbed her wrist and forearm. Then, he laid it down and picked up her other and gave it the same attention.
"To be pampered by such a generous talented man is so heavenly," Diana moaned.
"You are heaven," he said.
Clark moved off her legs so he could begin massaging them. He started with one leg; massaging her thigh, then her calf; and when he got to her foot, he bent down and kissed each of her toes. Diana laughed softly. He then repeated everything on her other leg.
When he'd finished with her leg, Clark rolled her over and looked at her face. She was smiling and relaxed and sleepy; all of that made her positively adorable.
Clark trailed his eyes down her body yet again, and he leaned down and laid a kiss right above her belly button. He held her sides in his hands as he worshipped her stomach with his lips.
Diana threaded her fingers in his hair. "Kal…" she spoke softly.
He kept laying kiss after kiss on her smooth, soft skin. He then applied oil onto her stomach and tenderly began tracing patterns onto it applying some more pressure here and there and inwardly smiled as he felt Diana relaxing under his touch.
Soon enough his fingers started wandering across her sides and stopped as he started trailing kisses along her collarbone and neck until he arrived at her lips.
He kissed his way down her body again. Passing her breasts, his kisses got featherlight in a teasing manner.
I am grateful for his tenderness and such attentiveness.
Clark laid his chin on her stomach and looked at her face between her breasts. Diana leaned up on her elbows to see his face better. She smirked with a come hither look.
Clark smiled warmly and crawled onto the bed beside her, putting a hand on her side to hold her near him. He moved his head closer to hers, feeling her breath puff against his face. He kissed her nose even though she growled and tried to playfully bite his bottom lip.
Diana put a hand on his chest, crinkling his shirt, and threw a leg over his hip, trapping him against her.
"You know I would like for you to be unclothed as well, please."
"Course," he grinned as he held her chin in his hand and kissed her lips chastely.
He slipped out of her grasp and stood up. As he began removing his clothes, he felt even more arousing tension rising within him. He then laid himself back down onto the bed beside Diana.
"Turn onto your left side, Di," he quietly ordered.
Diana willingly obliged and felt Clark settling behind her and slipping one arm through the space under her neck while his other hand started traveling down her back and towards her already wet center.
Clark whispered sweet nothings and he felt one of Diana's hands grasped for his as she intertwined their fingers for further body contact.
As soon as Clark's skilled fingers found Diana's slick center, he slowly started rubbing her in circles effectively eliciting a low moan from her in response. Clark soon felt Diana grinding against his touch and back against his arousal ever so slightly. Clark took it as his sign to carefully insert two of her fingers into her and start thrusting with a little more force than his previous actions.
Clark knew the built up tension was becoming too much, when Diana started gripping his hand even harder as she moved in sync with his movements and from her ragged breathing, Clark could tell she was close.
He softly kissed the delicate skin below her ear as Diana felt her walls tightening around his fingers. When Diana came her breath got caught in her throat as she rode out the waves of pleasure and pressed her back against her lover's chest to get some grip onto reality again.
Eventually Clark heard a sharp intake of breath and he slowly withdrew her fingers from Diana's core to let her come down from her high. With her last ounce of strength Diana turned around to face him again and gently cradled his face in her hands to kiss him soundly.
"I love you, Clark," she smiled contently and tried to convey how grateful she was to have him through the way he looked at her because she knew he would understand her even without saying a word.
"I love you, too, Diana."
He was proud looking into her cerulean eyes sparkling in a way he loved so much. Especially since he knew that he was the reason behind the sparkling.
They spent a few moments in comfortable silence both simply enjoying the intimacy of the moment and another small smile tucked on the corners of Diana's lips.
She slid her left hand down his chest. Her eyes glistened as she knew about the anticipation running through Clark's body. She caressed her way further down his abs, down his happy trail, to now very close to the head of his manhood. She detoured, delicately tracing a line with her fingertips down the muscular groove on his abdominal muscle alongside his hip.
She caressed all around his lower abdomen, slipping her hand under his erection to run her fingers through his fine pubic hair. Even though it was just the back of her hand, contact with the sensitive skin of his manhood was electric. He twitched and shivered, and she found his eyes and met his gaze, deep and excited, a sexy smile on her lips, while watching his face, studying his reaction. Clark sucked in his breath and waited hungrily for whatever was next.
"Di…ana…" Clark groaned.
"I like that we have equal pleasure, Kal." She smirked at him before they both got lost in passionate and longing kiss.
Diana ran a single fingertip up the length of him, then traced its outline up and down both sides. She kissed him deeper while she continued teasing his stiff shaft, feeling its length and girth with her fingers.
This man is a gift just for me.
She broke away from their kiss for a hot moment, her eyes smoldering. She studied him. She then dove back in, her lips hungrily meeting his at the same time she stroked him. Clark moaned into her mouth and Diana let out a little gasp as Clark bucked his hips involuntarily. Before he knew it, Clark found himself being turned onto his back with Diana ever so slightly leaning over him. Her tiny movements and jerks and the curves and softness of her body kept him stimulated.
He was on fire, his whole body ultra-sensitive as Diana started pumping a bit faster, and within seconds, Clark groaned and twitched, then released streams of his essence. Her hand still stroked him.
Clark's mind overloaded briefly, his thoughts fuzzed out and the most intelligent thing he could manage was, "Gaaaaaah."
Breaking their kiss, they both looked down at the aftermath. Clark didn't say anything, just panted as his orgasm subsided.
Diana giggled, still slowly stroking him and watched as he twitched in lewd fascination. Finally letting go, she looked back up at him, her eyes wide, her lips parted, her face flushed.
"That... was... amazing!" she gushed.
"I know you like having me under your control, Madame Prince!" Clark laughed, the deep post-orgasm relaxation settling in.
He pulled her close making her squeal as he started tickling her.
"OH GODS! KAL!" She laughed.
Clark pressed his lips against hers. Diana moaned in his mouth.
"I can't think of any other way to spend my birthday," Diana confessed breaking their kiss. "Being pampered by the man that I love."
"I want to make everyday for you feel like this, Di." Clark looked over at the clock in the nightstand. "Just hit noon. So I'll make a light lunch, we can watch a movie or one of those series we still haven't finished. Lastly, we'll start getting ready for dinner. Reservations are at 8 pm. We have to get there at 7:45, though."
Diana nodded not able to stop smiling. She leaned in and kissed him softly.
I love how he takes control. How he cares for me.
1 hour and a half later…
They had gotten themselves cleaned up from their earlier rendezvous, and while Clark was cutting up fruit for Diana a fruit salad, Diana checked her birthday messages and opened a few gifts then went out to the balcony to bring Kadi inside.
"Chirp! Chirp!"
Kadi happily flew straight to the kitchen landing on Clark's shoulder.
"This is Diana's. Don't be greedy. I gave you plenty already," Clark said.
"Chirp!"
"No arguing back, either!"
Diana laughed. "Oh, you two are adorable even when arguing."
"Arguing with a bird is ridiculous, Di. Not adorable."
Diana walked over to him wrapping her arms around him from behind.
"It's adorable to me."
Clark chuckled. "Alright. Alright. Anything you say goes, Beautiful."
"Oh? Anything?"
"Anything," he nodded.
"Mhmm…you're going to spoil me."
"Yep! Of course! As I should."
Diana levitated slightly off the floor to lean over his shoulder and kiss his cheek. As Diana stepped back from him, Clark turned to face her
"Almost done, Di. Go ahead and choose a show. Also here, Kadi…" He reached for a bag on the counter and held it up showing it to her. "Sunflower seeds. That'll keep you occupied."
"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"
Kadi snuggled against his cheek to thank him.
"You're welcome, Kadi."
Clark picked up the bowl of fruit and followed Diana into the living room.
They settled down to start a series while they fed each other the fruit.
This feels different now. We were comfortable together but limitations were set. Now we can cuddle like we've always wanted. There's no awkwardness watching sex scenes because we've indulged in our own. Kal definitely lets that be known the way he looks at me with that sexy smirk of his and how he touches me…
Clark pulled Diana over to sit on his lap and held her as tight as he could.
She laughed softly. "What are you doing?"
"I love you so much."
He was shaking a little like he was a bit nervous. I know for sure he won't propose tonight but this will be our first official date night out. Though, I don't think that would make him nervous either. Whatever it is, I need him to to be just as assured that there will never be any doubt between us.
Diana cupped his cheek and gave him a reassuring smile as she leaned in kissing him softly. Clark gripped her waist tighter as he leaned back against the sofa arm and pulled Diana on top of him.
"We are never finishing these series…" Diana whispered.
"Nope… not when you keep distracting me from watching," Clark teased.
Diana playfully bit his bottom lip. "It's you, who's the distraction, Mister!"
Clark laughed and threading his fingers within her hair, he captured her lips again.
6 hours later…
Clark paced back and forth waiting for Diana to finish getting ready for their dinner date outing.
"Alright, Kent...keep it cool."
He was wearing a light blue collar long sleeve button down shirt with a beige cardigan and navy pants.
He sat down on the couch and took a deep breath.
"I'm ready, Kal. Sorry I took so long. I was just trying to make sure I have the dress on right with this sleeve. It's designed to be-" Diana paused looking up at Clark who had his mouth wide open, jaw dropped. "Kal?"
"Wow…" Clark stood mesmerized at the figure before him.
She blushed. "You like it?"
"Love it. You are gorgeous! C'mere."
Diana walked over to him and took his hand. Clark spun her around slowly.
"Damn," Clark shook his head slowly in disbelief and grinned.
Diana was wearing a gold nude beaded sleeveless one shoulder with an asymmetrical neckline. Bodice is designed with ruched fabric, backless and thigh high split. Fitted to perfection, hugging her curves just right. Her soft curls, framed her beautiful angelic face.
"Is it too much? It was made by Wanda, an elder Amazon."
"Perfect, Diana. Absolutely perfect." Clark took a deep breath. "I got something for you. Well I…made it myself. Spent some time in the Fortress while you were gone."
Diana beamed as he picked up a slim medium sized box.
Clark all of a sudden got nervous, shaking a bit while opening up.
Diana gasped as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Oh, Gods, Kal! It's beautiful!"
It was a silver charm bracelet of various specially rare gemstones with a gate pattern linking suspending of nine charms, so far, specifically made just for her: the moon, a star, the sun, pegasus, an owl, a kryptonian flower, and their heroic symbols as Wonder Woman and Superman.
"I had quite an adventure locating the stones. I wanted them to represent you and my love for you, Diana. There's more charms that need to be made but we will make them together to represent every milestone we reach from now on. I know it's not an enga-"
Diana cupped his face and kissed him as tears ran down her own cheeks.
"Di, I didn't mean to make you cry." Clark gently wiped her tears.
"Happy tears!" she smiled. "This is beautiful! I love it so much! You always go to special lengths for me. Things like this is why I love you. But is this why you were nervous, Love?"
"I don't ever want to disappoint you."
Diana shook her head. "Never!" She kissed him again. "Never…" she whispered against his lips.
Clark wrapped his arms around her tighter, deepening their kiss.
It's the most thoughtful, meaningful things like this that makes me love him so much more.
Finally breaking their kiss, they rested their foreheads against one another's.
"We should get going but when we get back…" Clark placed her hand over his heart. "The night will still be long for us."
I know exactly what he means and I'm ready for it all.
The most beautiful smile spread across her face as her eyes sparked with diamond looking unshed tears.
"What did I do to deserve you?" she mused quietly.
Clark smiled softly, and shook his head, gently stroking her cheek with his thumb.
"That's a question I should be asking, Di."
Diana took his hand in her own and brought it to her lips. "Thank you," she whispered against his palm.
Clark leaned in slowly and caressed her lips with his own in a whisper of an embrace.
"You don't ever have to thank me."
He slipped his hand free and took hold of her bracelet, carefully opening the clasp and sliding the bracelet onto her wrist. Once he re-clasped it, he pressed a butterfly kiss to the inside of her wrist.
"Happy Birthday, Beautiful."
14 Hills Restaurant and Bar
Situated on the 14th floor of 120 Fenchurch Street and beautifully nicknamed 'the forest in the sky', 14 Hills is a foliage-adorned restaurant and bar in the heart of London's Square Mile. With unparalleled views over London and hundreds of plants, trees and greenery decorating its interiors, it's perfectly poised in the heart of the city.
Other guests stared at Clark and Diana as if they were supermodel celebrities standing in line for their table.
Diana latched onto Clark's arm.
Clark smiled proudly and kissed her temple.
"Ah, hello and welcome to 14 Hills. We're glad you've joined us. Name?" The Hostess greeted with a welcoming smile.
"Reservation is under Kent," Clark said as he reached the hostess.
"Ah, yes, please follow me right this way. She smiled and nodded grabbing two menus.
She guided them to their table, in the back that's slightly isolated. Two candles were lit in the center of their table.
"This is so lovely, Clark!" Diana said happily as Clark pulled out her chair for her. "Thank you."
As Clark sat down beside her, he took Diana's hand in his on top of the table.
"Would you like to start off with the evening's appetizer special?" The hostess asked. "And drink?"
"Yes, and your finest wine. It's a special night for my lovely lady," Clark said proudly leaning over to kiss Diana's cheek.
The hostess smiled. "How sweet and in that case, Mr. and Mrs. Kent, we have a special menu for special occasions. I will have that out for you momentarily."
"Thank you," Clark and Diana said in unison.
When she walked away, Clark and Diana immediately turned their attention to each other. It was like at that instant, everyone disappeared.
"It's such a beautiful night to be here. You picked the perfect place, Kal."
"Everything has to be perfect for you, Di."
"I still don't want you overexerting yourself or overthinking things, Kal. What's even more perfect to me is being with you. The simplest things you do and say fills my heart. That's all that matters to me."
They leaned in for a soft kiss.
"Oh um…Hello…" the waiter greeted setting down their appetizer plate.
Clark and Diana broke their kiss with blushing smiles.
"I'm Riley and I will be your waiter for the evening."
Riley handed them their menus then poured their glasses of wine. "I'll give you a few moments to look over your menu." He gave them a smile and walked away.
After he had left, Clark picked up his glass. "I propose a toast."
"A toast?"
"Uh huh. A Happy Birthday to my gorgeous Goddess and here's to a night that is filled with nothing but happiness and love."
Diana happily raised her glass. "Happiness and love is what we have for sure!" She clicked glasses with his and then took a sip of the wine. "Mmm...this is very good!"
They began looking over their menus.
"It all seems so good. Very difficult to choose. I can't choose between the lamb or gnocchi."
"We'll get both."
"Clark, no! That's too much!"
"It's fine, Di. Whatever you want."
"I'm only choosing one."
Clark chuckled.
"Are you ready to order?"
"Yes, we would like the sirloin rump cap, the lamb and gnocchi."
"Clark?"
He flashed his reassuring charming smile.
"Excellent choices! I'll be back with your order." Riley took their menus and walked away.
"Clark, you really didn't have to order all of that just for me."
"Di, it's fine. I promise. I can splurge on my lady. No problem at all."
"Splurge and spoil."
"Yes and yes!" Clark leaned over and kissed her nose.
When their food arrived, they continued on with light conversations, laughs, feeding each other and shared soft kisses in between.
"The food is amazing but you make it even better, Ms. Prince."
Diana giggled as Clark kissed her cheek and trailed down her neck.
"Mr. Kent, you are relentless with PDA like this."
"I mean I can't help myself with you."
Riley then came up from behind Diana holding a small piece of chocolate cake with a candle lit. Diana smiled as Riley placed it in front of her.
"Happy birthday, Mrs. Kent! Hope you have enjoyed your evening!"
"Thank you! Yes, it's been wonderful!"
When Riley walked away again, Clark sung happy birthday to her.
"Oh, Clark!" She let out a soft laugh. "I've never would've thought of being serenaded by you before. You should serenade me more often."
"Noted," he smiled. "Go ahead and make a wish, Di."
She looked back at him for a minute before closing her eyes. She knew secretly what she was wishing for and then blew out the candle.
Though I believe my wish has already been granted.
"Dig in, birthday girl."
Diana picked up another fork and took a piece of the cake. She moaned as the chocolate hit her tongue. "Oh, this is wonderful! So incredibly rich!"
Clark smiled as he watched her eat her birthday cake.
"Good. I'm glad you enjoy it."
She put another piece of cake on her fork and held it out to him.
"Here, Kal. It's really good and I would hate to be the only one indulging in this."
"Thank you." He leaned forward and slowly took a bite of the cake from the fork. "Mmmm." He closed his eyes as he licked his lips. "That is good."
She watched as his tongue came out of his lips. Now she was being distracted in another way.
"Yes, it's...it's sinfully good," she whispered.
I'm still not sure if he does this intentionally or not, maybe it's a bit of both…but damn…whether it's the things he say, the things he does, or the way he looks at me, he makes me think and want to do such unthinkable, unadulterated things.
"Yes it is," he grinned.
Diana quickly snapped back to reality. She took another bite of her cake. As she continued to eat, she caught the sound of music.
"What a lovely melody. It sounds like that song we heard our first night on patrol together. For the life of me I couldn't get it out of my head for over a month and then you bought me the entire album." She glanced at Clark. "Kal..."
He stood up and held out his hand. "Dance with me," he told her.
"Did...did you tell them to play this?" she asked before taking his hand.
"Yes, I did," he answered as he took her hand and they walked over to the dancing area. "It's part of one of our firsts together. That was also the day we had time to really talk, get to know each other a bit more. You didn't hesitate to open up to me and I could open up to you. Something I've never been able to do with anyone. I'm always grateful for that, Di. Always grateful for you."
"I'm grateful for you, too, Kal. You truly thought of everything," she whispered before resting her head on his shoulder burying her face in the crook of his neck, her lips brushing softly against his skin.
The gentle but flowing notes of the relaxing song filled the atmosphere of the restaurant. Clark and Diana embraced each other tighter, swaying calmly, with relaxed smiles on their faces as their hearts were filled with beautiful music.
Feeling the rhythm of Diana's breathing against his chest, he matched his own breaths to hers.
"Clark…" Diana hummed, glancing up at him.
"Yeah…?"
"I love you."
He smiled warmly at the precious woman he was dancing with.
"I love you, too."
He leaned in, kissing her lips very gently. His hands slowly moved up her back as he closed his eyes. Diana moaned deepening the kiss wrapping her arms around his neck.
Again, it was like everyone disappeared. It was just us and the soft music.
Clark pulled back breathless and looked back into her eyes.
"C'mon, birthday girl, let's go to one more place before we go back home."
Diana smiled. "Where to?"
"The park with that beautiful pond view. We haven't been there in forever."
Clark kissed her forehead and took her hand to walk back to their table. He motioned for Riley to take care their bill. Diana couldn't help but smile watching Clark.
"You ready to go, Di?"
"Yes, Beloved."
Hyde Park: Kensington Gardens
The Round Pond is an ornamental lake in Kensington Gardens, London, in front of Kensington Palace. It had many benches to sit on, very tame swans and ducks to feed. Couples and families enjoying the area. And there was even the romantic carriage ride that was sometimes present too.
"These past 3 weeks have been so relaxing. Going home to Themyscira then coming back to this home to you. There's nothing better than this for me."
"Very glad of that, Di."
"It's so beautiful here," Diana sighed dreamily.
"It's beautiful every day and night with you. Always shining brighter than the sun, moon, and stars."
Clark leaned to her and captured her lips with his as he cupped her cheek. Diana sighed as she returned his kiss and placed her arms around his neck. Clark moved in closer to her, deepening their kiss as his hands went into her hair.
A moan escaped Diana's lips as she felt him deepen the kiss. His lips felt so wonderful to her and she felt like they were devouring her. She began to rub the back of his neck slowly as she continued to kiss him.
Please…take me home right now! Gods, take me home and have his way with me!
Diana pulled back breathless.
"You are such a romantic, Kal."
"I'm proud to say I'm a man of many talents, especially when it comes to you."
Diana leaned toward his face. "Uh huh…I'm aware…though there is a few other things you haven't shown me just yet," she whispered.
"Ah…yes…well I can't show them all at once. The right time, moment…you know. Take my time surprising you with some things too," he whispered back as he kissed her lips gently.
Diana giggled returning his kiss and then her eyes caught side of a couple and their two young children walking. She pulled away from his lips.
"Look, Dad! I can do a back flip!"
"Be careful, Son, don't need you scrapping your knee again. Bad enough you jumped off the swing."
"But, Dad, I'm practicing! Tell'em, Mom!"
"Tell me what?"
"Robert, you know how much he loves the superheroes around."
"Cody thinks he can be Superman," his older sister said nonchalantly.
"I can be, Abby! Gil said he was going to be Batman. He made a mask in class yesterday. Tyler, Jessie and Sam is Flash, Green Lantern and Aquaman! But me? I'm going to finish my cape! Superman is so cool! And I'm going to be cool, too just like him! I might can fly with the real Wonder Woman, too, just like him!"
"There's no girl in your class you have a crush on?" Abby teased.
"Ew! No! Yuck! I said the real Wonder Woman! Race you, Abby! If I win I get the last ice cream bar at home!"
"Pft. Get ready to lose then!"
Abby and Cody began running.
"Careful, you two! Don't go too far ahead!"
His wife laughed. "I'm glad those two are so happy. They are going to be amazing older siblings." She slowly rubbed her stomach.
Robert placed his hand over hers. "We've done a damn good job, Hilary."
The loving couple shared a kiss and walked hand in hand catching up with their children.
I can see very vividly Kal and I just like that one day. For a long time, a life like that, I just couldn't imagine for myself. But then Kal literally flew into my life and changed all of that for me. As much as we tried to repress or even outright deny our feelings…our hearts won that battle long ago.
Clark looked to Diana who was in a daze still watching the loving family. He smiled and kissed her temple.
"Diana?"
She snapped out of her daze and looked at him.
"Yes, Kal?"
He glanced at the family then put his forehead to hers.
"There's something we need to talk about. Something very important."
"Oh? What's that?"
"It's something you said a while ago that's been on my mind. I need you to be assured" Clark kissed her lips gently. "But it's best to say more at home though."
"I'm curious…." She returned his kiss. "…very curious."
Diana moved herself impossibly closer to him and placing her arms around his neck kissing him again.
A groan escaped Clark's lips as Diana moved against him and deepened the kiss slightly.
"I should get you home now," he whispered as he pulled back from her breathlessly.
"Yes, you really should. Would you also help me out of this dress when we get there?"
Clark nodded his head as he looked at her with a smile on his face. "Don't have to ask me twice." He leaned in and kissed her lips as his hand reached up and cupped her cheek.
A moan escaped Diana's lips this time as she returned the kiss and ran her fingers down the back of his neck.
Clark pulled back a little. "I love you," he murmured on her lips.
"I love you, too."
The night is far from over. He and I both know that.
Clark took her hand in his and began to levitate.
Diana smiled levitating off the ground as well.
I love it when we take to the skies. It's like our sanctuary just to be free. We flow naturally together with the winds.
Diana's condominium
They landed on the balcony.
"Aww…Kadi tucked herself in."
Diana floated over to her cage and quietly opened it. With her finger, she rubbed her head softly.
Kadi rubbed her head slightly against Diana's finger.
"Sleep well, little one."
Clark opened the door for Diana. "Ladies first."
"Thank you," she smiled.
Goodness, why all of a sudden I'm feeling butterflies.
Clark sighed as he closed and locked the door. Diana turned to him with a worried look.
"Clark?"
He looked at her with a smile taking off his cardigan putting it over the kitchen table chair. He then stepped to her taking her hand and looked into her eyes for a long moment before he leaned in and kissed her lips.
As Diana closed her eyes and she returned his kiss, Clark deepened the kiss as his hands went up into her hair. Diana placed her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her. Moans began to escape her as she began to start giving in to what her body wanted.
Suddenly, Clark pulled back a little.
"You're still thinking about the families we saw at the park…"
"The children running around with such joy was adorable," she whispered back breathlessly. "How did you know?" she asked with a raised brow.
He laughed softly. "Because I'm thinking about them, too. I saw it in your eyes, Di. I felt it just as much as you did." He kissed her deeply again.
Diana ran her fingers through his hair leading to the back of his neck. Clark kissed Diana slowly, exploring her mouth with his tongue as his fingers played over her back.
How many nights had I dreamt of this moment? Now it's all coming true.
She let out a contented sigh as her tongue connected with his. She moaned as she tasted the wine from dinner earlier still evident on his tongue. She pushed herself to him closer as she ran her fingernails across the back of his neck.
In a frenzy of kisses and touches, each nibble and each moan setting the other's skin ablaze. Diana gasped slightly in both pain and pleasure as Clark roughly grasped her hips and pulled them against his own. Diana could feel Clark's hardened desire against her front. Needing more contact, Diana began to grind her hips in want, causing the man before her to groan in pleasure.
Clark slowly pulled away and began to kiss her neck slowly, tasting how smooth her skin felt.
Diana closed her eyes as took in breaths.
"Clark," she whispered.
"Yes?" he whispered back.
"Oh Gods that feels so good," she whispered as she craned her neck.
Clark smiled against her skin as he continued to kiss her neck.
"I want…I am and will always be the one to make you feel good, Di. Give you any and everything you want and need."
"Oh…Clark."
His hand moved down, slowly caressing her thigh.
Diana let out a gasp as he touched her bare skin.
"You wanted to give up on love when things didn't seem right. Love have been right here with you the whole time. You said a life with someone special wasn't for you. You know that's not true because you have had me."
Diana took a breath pulling slightly away from him to look into his eyes.
"Clark…when I said that…we weren't quite…" Diana sighed. "I've always known that you were the man for me. It was that we were thinking it was the right choice setting unnecessary boundaries because of our jobs. Thinking of other's perception of us and not wanting any conflict with that. I also didn't know nor understand how to balance everything...putting my work first...not having time for things like this. I didn't want that for us. It would've been so unfair and losing my best friend, I couldn't have that."
"Diana, the same thoughts you had, I've had them, too. We thought we couldn't reach what we truly wanted but we can, Di. I will make sure of that. Seeing those families confirmed it. We've done so much together and have had time together to cherish and make the most of. It's not easy, it's a challenge but I want to take up this challenge with you. We have an understanding of each other no one else could ever have. No matter the circumstances, we will make this work for us. One day, that will be us. Settling down…marriage…kids."
Tears started running uncontrollably down Diana's face.
"Clark…"
He smiled a little and caressed her cheek.
"I'm yours, Diana. My heart is yours and yours is mine. You trusted to give me your heart to protect and take care of. I'll do just that for all eternity."
Diana was speechless. She could only nod and smile as she took his lips again with hers. She continued to kiss him, her lips never leaving his. She felt him swoop her up in his arms to carry her to her bed room.
As Clark gently set her down, Diana finally broke their kiss.
Clark took in a deep breath. "I want to give you more tonight…" He couldn't help but grin.
"Become one with me, Kal," she whispered.
Clark nodded slightly before kneeling down to her feet to unbuckle the ankle strap of her heels.
Taking them off, he placed them to the side then stood back up. He slowly untied the belt of her dress and carefully raised the dress up over her head. He laid it cross a chair then coming back to her, Clark's lips captured hers in another hot kiss. Smirking against her lips, he hooked his thumbs through the thin fabric of her thong and then continued to drag them from her hips and down her sexy legs. Diana smiled stepping out of them. Clark smiled back at her as he carefully took Diana's bracelet off for her setting it on the dresser.
He took a step back to take in her naked beauty.
"Damn," was all he could say.
He reached out grabbing her by her hips pulling her to him. His mouth hovered over hers as he stared deeply into those cerulean orbs and an intense wave of energy was exchanged between the two of them.
There goes that butterfly feeling again…
The way his steady breath caressed the sensitive skin at the base of her neck sent chills down her spine. She let out a small gasp when his lips nipped lightly and his skilful tongue darted out to lick the flesh there. But his hands. His sinful hands that seemed to have a mind of their own were the things that were causing her the most trouble. Diana moaned softly as they gently prodded her hips in a rhythmic manner before dipping between her thighs and moving up to cup her round breasts. He rubbed over her nipples with the pads of his thumbs ever so lightly but just hard enough for her to feel the tingling sensations. Diana's eyes slowly shifted closed as she released a heart-felt sigh at her lover's ministrations.
With a soft sigh, Diana's head lolled to the side allowing him better access to her throat, and like a rabid dog his warm mouth latched on to her sunkissed skin. He sucked and teased the patch of skin with his tongue and teeth, determined to leave her a reminder of their night. And when he was done he pulled back to marvel at his work, deeming it "a job well done."
Diana's head turned to face him, and she was met with a fierce kiss. Her eyes drifted shut again and her lips moved in time with his. She let out a throaty moan that was muffled by his urgent kiss. Their eager tongues danced together with ease. Thoughtlessly, Diana's hands trailed up Clark's neck and found their way to his thick head of hair while Clark's fingers absent mindedly drew patterns down the sides of her waist. After a few moments, they finally separated due to lack of air, much to their disliking.
Clark eyed the gorgeous woman in front of him before noticing that her hands were currently gripping the bottom of his shirt in an attempt to remove it. Quickly, he obliged to her efforts and the problematic article of clothing was thoughtlessly casted aside. Immediately after this, Diana's eager hands flew to her lover's bare chest, caressing his toned abs before moving up to kneed his chest. After a few moments, much to Diana's delight, Clark's breath hitched slightly as her hands moved down to rest at the waist line of his pants and her mouth took over. At first her ministrations were subtle and he sighed uncharacteristically as she moved to trace feather light kisses across his chest. But it wasn't long before her actions evolved into something more vindictive as her tongue darted out to trace eccentric patterns. She drew back slightly to blow on the wet skin, giving Clark heated sensations in more places than one. A low growl emitted from Clark's chest, causing Diana to giggle.
She started to unbutton and unzip his pants. Clark took over sliding them along with his boxers off. Diana couldn't help but stare for a moment before she ripped her eyes away only to look into his ocean blue eyes.
No matter how many times I've already seen this man completely unclothed, every time feels like the first. To just say I'm impressed is an absolute understatement.
Clark started kissing down her throat and to her collarbone as he guided her body onto the bed, holding her to him as her knees buckled against its edge and they fell upon the duvet comforter. Diana was now sitting with Clark practically straddling and standing over the top of her. He bent over and continued to kiss down her torso, laying her further back onto the bed.
Diana was losing herself in the passion as her back was arched and her hands and arms desperately grabbed for Clark as she continued to kiss him. Their bare torsos were pressed together tightly as Clark laid on top of Diana, their warm skin creating more heat. They continued groping each other while kissing, their hands in a flurry trying to touch every part of each other. The blankets and sheets were already becoming undone and a mess as they continued rolling around, getting even more lost in each other.
Clark's eager hand moved from her bare hip, while his other one dipped down to cup her womanhood, dampened by her undeniable desire. He placed his thumb on the sensitive bundle of nerves at the top of her sex, enjoying the tiny mews that she gave him in response. As he started to add pressure with his thumb, he slowly slid two nimble fingers into her sleek folds.
"Oh, Gods!" Diana gasped.
Clark pumped her dripping sex slowly, and quickly decided to replace his agile fingers with his hungry mouth. Tearing his lips from hers, he kissed his way over her chin, down her neck, onto her chest. It was time for a quick tour of her sensuous curves and soft skin, exquisitely smooth against his.
Her beautiful breasts took his breath away. Diana moaned as he suckled each nipple into his mouth, introducing them briefly to his tongue, then kissed his way down over her stomach. He kissed around her navel, circling her belly button lightly with his tongue. He gently nibbled around her hip bones as he kept lowering himself, getting closer to Diana's honey-pot. He took a detour onto her thighs, caressing her knees with his lips, pushing apart her legs. As he began to nibble his way back up, he glanced at her womanhood and froze momentarily. Her beauty demanded a proper exploration. Clark deliberately slowed his attentions. Diana deserved to be taken slowly, with great appreciation. He slowly kissed his way up her inner thighs. The scent of her smooth skin and sex made him hungrier. A raw animal hunger that he had to contain and control.
Clark looked up and saw Diana intoxicated with pleasure and her beautiful eyes were half lidded, watching him. He groaned in excited anticipation.
Diana moaned, arching herself closer toward him as his lips approached the apex of her thighs. He then kissed her mound above her slit, causing Diana to buck slightly because it tickled but still felt good. Clark flicked his tongue along the outside of her, making her quiver in anticipation.
Diana gasped and moaned in joy as his tongue then took one long deep lick from the bottom of her seam to the top, gathering her delicious juice on his taste buds as it went.
"Oh yes, yes, yes!" she cried.
This man truly is of many talents. He had me already with his hands but now making love to me with his tongue…by the Gods!
His tongue explored, delicately traced, teased, circled and swirled all around her tender opening. Diana's fingers dug into his head, holding his mouth to her.
Lost in the heady joy of discovery, Clark gently sucked her petals into his mouth, sampling their texture and flavor.
"Ohhhhhhhhh, Clark..." Diana's voice was coming from somewhere deep inside.
Her shapely thighs wrapped around his head, capturing him, imprisoning him in heaven.
He continued using his wide tongue to rhythmically lick up and down. He started using his fingers again to tease her as he continued licking every inch of her.
"GODS!"
Diana gasped and moaned in pleasure as she writhed around the bed. She could feel the warmth and the tightness in the pit of her stomach as she chanted his name in soft breathy moans. And it wasn't long before she hit her climax, her juices flowing to his awaiting mouth below. Clark accepted her wholeheartedly while he massaged her hips, allowing her to ride out her orgasm.
Clark pulled away to gaze up at the trembling woman before him. She presented to him a sight to behold. Her piercing eyes were fogged with a look of undying lust, her face was flushed a beautiful shade of red, and her lips held a twinge of purple from their many kisses.
Clark moved up over her. The hardness of his manhood glided up her leg as he kissed his way over her stomach towards her gorgeous breasts. His mouth found her left nipple, erect and swollen, and suckled it between his lips.
Clark moved to her other nipple, giving it the same treatment, cradling her breast in his hand. Diana's hands found his back, tracing his muscles with her fingernails.
"Ohhhummmhh..." Diana sighed.
Rising a bit higher, Clark embraced her mouth once again with his. This kiss was hungrier than the last. Hot breath, biting tongues, lips sucking lips.
Slowly, tentatively, Diana slid her fingers down his stomach, making his abs shudder in sudden pleasure and Clark took in a sharp breath. Diana smiled against his lips. She knew she could break him down to a gasping puddle of mess if she wanted. This slight change of his breathing was the thing she was waiting for. She loved the way this felt but she wanted to have a moment on top so she very gracefully switched positions.
All of Clark's thoughts were interrupted and he was caught off guard but damn, to have this beautiful woman on top of him caused him to twitch in anticipation. He let out a low growl that ended in a hiss when her smooth palm gripped his length.
Diana stroked with long even movements, silently enjoying the way his breath would hitch with every subtle squeeze and jerk. Acting on impulse, Clark's hips bucked into her awaiting hand and his dark eyes crossed in pleasure. It took him a few seconds, too wrapped up in the heat of the moment, Clark finally realized that Diana was speaking to him.
"It fascinates me seeing you like this," she repeated in a small, yet seductive voice, her hand not slowing down its menstruations.
Clark smirked placing his hands under his head. "Fascinated, huh?"
Diana nodded. "Sculpted to perfection. Just for me."
He reached with his right hand trailing his fingers down along her side, making her shudder in response.
With only a touch of his fingertips, he can turn me into moaning and gasping mess just as well.
"And you, Diana…my gorgeous Goddess… is perfect for me."
Clark sat up and placed a soft kiss on her jaw. Diana shuddered when his lips reach to her ear and he places a feather light kiss to her lobe. He trailed the curve of her ear with his tongue, making the blood fire up in her veins.
She opened her mouth to say something but her breath stopped in her lungs as his teeth surround the delicate flesh of her earlobe. She knows exactly why he is doing this. He's making it all about her. She succumbed to the feeling and leaned against him. With his mouth working with her ear, she let him surround her, their body heat mingling to one.
He released her lobe and continued his journey against her neck.
"I love you so much," he whispered between the soft open mouthed kisses against her skin.
"And I…love you…" she sighed and placed her head to his shoulder revealing more delicate skin to his delight.
The way he uses his lips and tongue is such a sinful crime.
Diana let out a breathy moan when he gently nipped her skin over her pulse points. Clark could feel her erratic beating of the heart underneath his lips, the pulsing feeling making him crazy. Her soft skin revealed how much she loved the things he is doing to her.
He released the delicate skin between his teeth and placed a kiss on the barely visible bite mark. He smiled when she made the sound between whimper and a moan.
Clark picked Diana up, repositioning her on the bed and got on top of her. Their eyes were locked together as his hands gripped at her creamy thighs.
Diana was ready for him, he noted as her toned legs moved to wrapped themselves around his waist. He could feel her heat radiating from her dripping womanhood as he positioned his throbbing erection at her entrance. His concentration as well as his train of thought was broken when her hands reached up to cup his face. Immediately they met in another lustful kiss before Clark slowly plunged within her core.
Diana broke their kiss, gasping and her eyes widened.
"Are you okay?" he asked watching her expression intently.
Diana nodded and smiled at him assuringly.
Clark still waited momentarily for her to get use to him.
Diana nodded again. Clark's head arched back as he slid deeper and deeper into her wet heat. Both their minds reeling at their union.
Clark drew back until the head reached her entrance, paused a brief second, then plunged fully in, not rushing, but reveling in the sensation of entering her again. Diana's head rolled side to side, her eyes glossed over from lust, and her dark curls sprawled around her. Clark leaned in closer and kissed her face, her jaw line and then plunged his tongue past her plump lips which were parted in satisfaction. He was slowly pumping in and out of her, adding a little more strength to each thrust.
Diana raised her hands to his neck and played with the tiny hairs on his neck. She then raked her fingers down the rippling muscles of his back and pulled his body closer. Her nails dug into his skin, leaving little grooves where they clutched.
Clark reached a steady rhythm, enjoying the way Diana's wet folds seem to clutch at his length with each thrust. His pace soon quickened as he began to pound into her with force. He watched as her breasts shook with each movement and loved the way her breath hitched with each hard thrust.
"K-Kal…ahh!" Diana attempted before letting out a throaty moan.
Clark slid his hands under Diana's gorgeous ass and lifted her to him, trying to get deeper with each quickening thrust.
"Oh yeesssssssssss!" Diana cried, mouth wide open.
Their glistening bodies were becoming slippery as they rubbed against each other.
Our bodies became a symphony of movement. We began an earnest love dance, rocking rhythmically into each other, flesh on flesh, passionately matching thrust against thrust, faster and faster, indistinguishable sounds escaping from both our throats, speech impossible.
Clark swiftly moved Diana's body so she was lying slightly on her side, kept one of her legs wrapped around his hip and lifted the other onto his shoulder. This new position allowed him to penetrate even more deeply. Diana's face reacted in pleasant surprise, her mouth was wide open and her eyes were practically rolled back into her head.
"Oh Yes...! Yes...!"
Her cries egged him on to thrust harder.
"Di…ana…!"
He was ramming her now.
Her voice became high-pitched and strained.
They were breathing hard, chest heaving, on the edge of oblivion.
Diana looked up into his eyes and discovered so much love and affection in his gaze. He leaned down and kissed her, a playful succulent kiss.
Pulling back from the kiss, Diana reached up to caress his face and his lips.
"I love you," she whispered.
"I love you, too, Beautiful."
He kissed her once more, caressing her cheek, stroking her long hair.
Determined in his affections, Clark rose up, drawing up his knees, adjusting, pulling Diana onto his thighs, her legs splayed. This position made it easy to give her little short thrusts while he touched her face, touched her breasts, caressed her stomach, placed his thumb lightly on her sensitive bundle of nerves. All the while watching himself slide in and out of her.
In helpless surrender, Diana threw her arms above her head and let her legs relax wide open. She closed her eyes and groaned in ecstasy, giving in to the waves of joy running over her. The pleasure of the moment was lifting her away, white heat melting her insides, everything now tightening.
"Oh... oh... oh... oh..." is all that came out of her mouth.
Clark looked down over his woman with pride. He was going to turn inside out. His innards were going to spew out of him, to be swallowed and absorbed into her. The thought of filling Diana with his love was a vise of hot desire in his chest, consuming him. It was important to him to fill her with his love until it overflowed.
Diana begun throwing her weight into each of Clark's pumps. Coming from deep within, sounding almost like little growls, her moaning was quiet and soft, but guttural. Her bedroom eyes looked at Clark and her seductive voice sent shivers down his back.
"You are so good to me, Kal. So…so good."
She maintained eye contact as she continued quietly muttering unadulterated things and other indiscernible words.
Clark moaned in response, tightening his grip on her body, as he felt himself getting close to release. He was completely lost in the pleasure of seeing her beautiful body spread before him, her pretty face scrunched with joy. Both of them gulped in air as he adjusted once more, moving back over her, against her, gathering her in his arms and kissing her once again. Diana arched her pelvis as Clark thrust in and out so that he rode over her pearl and put added pressure on his pistoning shaft. Their bodies became synchronized once again, finding new heights of desperate rhythm. Clark's hands slid up her arms, finding her hands. Their fingers entwined and locked, frozen to the bed beside her head.
There was no stopping now. At that moment the only thing that existed was them. Arms, legs, skin, flesh — all melting into one! Inseparably joined!
"Oh Gods!" Diana's voice sounded off in an orgasmic tone.
The sound of their voices only accelerated the inevitable, sweeping them toward oblivion.
I was completely driven by my desire for this man.
Clark could see it in her eyes, she was unleashing herself. He was just counting his blessings that this woman was his.
When Clark released her hands, Diana sat up pushing him to lay on his back at the foot of the bed and made her way to a seated position on him.
Clark looked up at her and said, "I was wondering when you wanted to get in your favorite position."
Her lips turned into a smile. "I believe it's your favorite, too."
Clark's hands slip to her waist and tightened their grip.
"It's always a win win."
Diana slid down with force, and was fully filled of him. They both gasped with the feeling. Diana threw her head back, riding him, slowly at first. She went up and down, then in circles, then grinding. Each stop brought Clark closer to the edge. He leaned up and began licking and sucking on her breasts with earnest. He was honestly in heaven. He added in some squeezing and sucked as hard as he could, knowing it would leave a mark or two or three.
Suddenly, Diana screamed in pleasure. Clark could feel her juices pouring over him. He went feral, grabbing her ass with one hand, massaged her other breast with the other hand, and used his teeth to go to town on her breast. He sucked as much of it as he could into his mouth and sucked hard. Diana's eyes were closed, and she was grinding on him as she groaned loudly. When he bit on it, she screamed with another orgasm.
Her shaking subsided as his nibbling became more gentle while she came down from her orgasm. When her eyes opened again, she had a desire in them that made Clark twitch underneath her. She threw herself down on him repeatedly, enveloping as much of his thick length as she could.
Clark could see the love marks already forming on her breasts. It was just another way he could stamp her with a sign that said "his." He threw his head back with delight as Diana began to pick up the tempo of her thrusting.
So consumed by this endless need of him, I couldn't think of anything except the feeling of him everywhere, of wanting more of it, deeper, faster.
Diana found an extra gear somewhere and sped up, faster, harder, and she felt it starting, her orgasm, sparking like a hundred fireworks under her skin, all of her muscles spasming and tensing. She moaned loudly and Clark reached out to grab her hips as she started to buck wildly, driven to a huge climax.
Clark took over the rhythm, holding Diana in place, eliciting unreal pleasure that was almost too intense to handle. Clark heard a noise leave Diana's mouth they both had never heard before, pleasantly surprising them both. Every neuron in their minds were sparking wildly, utterly consumed, overwhelmed.
Diana's body seized, hitting that heavenly plateau, hurtling towards the edge of the cliff, no return this time! She screamed out his name as she exploded in waves of pleasure and Clark leaned forward just enough to hit her special spot perfectly, and he kept going until he felt her squeeze him so hard with her orgasm that he couldn't hold off anymore. He grunted out her name between gritted teeth. They flew off the precipice together, clutching each other, her nipples pressed against his chest, soaring into space, their cries of delight distant echoes. The violent convulsions of Diana milked each hot explosion from Clark, flooding her. He continued to thrust into her, more slowly a few times in order to allow both of them to ride out their climaxes.
By the Gods, I've never felt so exhausted yet so rejuvenated all at the same time before. This man has opened up so many feelings and given me experiences I never thought I could have.
Diana rested her forehead against his. Her hair covering her face, heart pounding, breathing hard, all of her muscles twitching, still clenched tight around him. Clark held himself inside her, not moving. He chuckled and moved her hair out of her face.
"That was unbelievable," Diana whispered.
"Yeah…"
Clark laid back down and Diana laid on his chest a couple of beats more, not yet willing to not have him inside her, but then reasoned that she probably would again soon. She pulled her body off him, inch by delicious inch, and rolled to lie beside him.
"Nope, nope…c'mere."
Clark rolled over to be on top of her and bent his arms on the bed so that they rested on either side of her shoulders and his head bent down to rest at the crook of her neck making Diana giggle.
They were still a gasping, heaving, collapsed mess as they slowly came back to their senses, spiraling back to earth, adjusting for comfort, snuggling, stroking, smiling, kissing, and laughing.
"Clark…" Diana's voice was slightly hoarse.
He replied with a simple "Hn," meaning for her to continue.
"I love you."
He grinned and kissed her forehead. "I love you, too."
It was then Clark felt the scratch marks on his back. Craning his neck, he saw the tail end of the red ribbons where her nails had raked him.
"So we're even?" he asked, smiling and looking at Diana quizzically, still breathing hard, stroking a lock of long hair from her cheek.
"Maybe…" she replied, seeing the scratch marks, laughing softly.
Clark laughed. "Well I guess we have another little competition between us."
"Oh? And what's that?"
"Who can mark each other the most."
A smile graced Diana's lips. "I love that! I absolutely love that!"
Diana sighed lovingly as Clark claimed her lips with his. The friction of their mouths was overwhelming. She opened her mouth to him. Their tongues meet in hurried pace, teeth clashing together in passion. The fire in her veins becomes more and more hotter. The slow burn in her stomach is rapidly replaced with fireworks.
Diana raised her hands and grips his shoulders. One hand snuck to the back of his head, sliding her fingers through his hair. Clark slid his arms around her waist and pulled her impossibly close, deepening their kiss.
Their breaths mingled together as they kissed each other senseless. Diana whimpered against him as he slowed the pace of their kiss down. Languidly, sharing soft kisses and caresses, they break the kiss, both of them breathing hard.
Clark smiled to her as she slowly opened her eyes. Her cerulean eyes looking up to him glint of happiness in them. She was glowing, so full of light and happiness. His breath caught in his chest.
"You want or need anything else?"
"No, just you, Beloved."
"So sexy when you call me that."
Diana smiled the sweetest smile in his embrace and Clark beamed the brightest smile to her. He whispered sweet nothings, trying to put all of the emotions he is feeling at the moment behind his words. Diana's eyes glossed over with happy tears threatening to fall. She meets him halfway and they meet in the sweetest kiss again.
The Next Morning….
The sunlight streamed through the slit of the curtains, enveloping Diana in its warm glow, as Clark sat up in the bed, watching her. Her hair, disheveled around her face and the pillow, as she lie there so peacefully, a slight smile on her beautiful sleeping face. Clark smiled as his eyes trace her body, covered only by the soft linen sheet, a bare arm and shoulder teasing him with the nakedness that lies beneath.
He watched as she shifted in her sleep and let out a slight moan. He ached to touch her, to wake her, to kiss her, their bodies merging together again; but he can't bear the thought of waking her from her much-deserved sleep.
Clark slip out of the bed, careful not to disturb her, and floated to the bathroom. He closed the door behind him, and started the water running in the shower, hoping the sound of the water wouldn't disturb Diana. He let his boxers slip to the floor and stepped into the hot shower, sighing as the water poured over him. He grabbed the body wash, and lather myself up quickly, trying not to prolong this, wanting to quickly get back in bed with Diana again for a moment longer before starting their breakfast.
After 15 minutes, he turned off the shower, stepping out and grabbing a towel, quickly drying off. His body was tingling with arousal as he silently open the bathroom door. He looked directly at Diana. She shifted onto her side, the curve of her hip evident through the thin linen sheet, the tops of her breasts now slightly exposed. Clark's mind was a tumbled mix of desire and tenderness.
"Mmmm…Kal…come back to bed," Diana mumbled in her sleep reaching out and feeling the empty side of the bed.
She shifted again, rolling onto her back, her knees slightly bent and splayed to either side, and a slow grin developed on Clark's face. To wake up next to her and watch her every move has been a gift to him.
He dropped his towel and eased back into bed. Diana turned over, her back turned to his chest. They fit perfectly together with the fronts of Clark's thighs along the back of Diana's. Sitting up on his elbow, Clark placed his other arm around her and she unconsciously held his arm, clasping it so that his hand and wrist rested between her perfect breasts. She was still sleeping deeply, her lips parted slightly, her body rising and falling with her steady breathing.
If Clark shifted his body even a little, Diana pushed back against him, missing the contact of her flesh to his. He shifted now, just to see what she would do, and then chuckled and groaned with pleasure as she unconsciously moved back to meet him, rubbing her smooth, round ass against him in the process. He kissed her shoulder and decided to test how deeply she slept. He couldn't resist kissing along her neck, and he lingered there for a moment, his lips and tongue enjoying the feel of her soft skin. Diana stirred slightly at his kiss, but she remained in a deep sleep.
Gently dislodging his right arm from her grip between her breasts, he moved it forward slightly until he brushed her right nipple. The pace of her breathing increased slightly. Diana let out a moan as she stirred, the sensations coursing through her body no longer letting her sleep, as she instinctively reached back for his head, holding him against her, fingers stroking through his hair, still waking up and her mind just registering what has been happening to her while she slept.
"Good morning, Beautiful," he whispered huskily.
"A very…very good morning, Beloved," she whispered back in a voice made throaty by sleep and lust.
Diana finally turned to face him. Her eyes fluttered open and looked right into his with love. She was the type that could say more with a look than a thousand words. Diana radiated the passion he had loved to see. Clark leaned in and kissed her lips gently, then the side of her face. He kissed her neck, her collarbone which tickled her a little and brought a smile to her face every time.
"It's really early. I want to take you to the market right quick to meet Mrs. Levi."
Diana beamed. "Okay." She cupped his cheek and kissed him again.
An hour and a half later…
"Can we take Kadi with us?"
"Course!"
"Chirp! Chirp!"
Kadi happily flew around Clark and Diana. Clark took Diana's hand and they flew off from the balcony.
Levi's Farmer Market
Clark opened the door for Diana.
"Thank you," Diana smiled.
Kadi was sitting on Diana's shoulder.
Diana inhaled the incredible scent of the fresh pastries.
Clark took her hand again. "I'll get anything you want."
"You spoil me!" She kissed his cheek.
Clark smiled when he saw Mrs. Levi by the floral area.
"There she is. Come on, Di." Walking up to her, Clark greeted, "Good Morning, Mrs. Levi!"
Halle turned around with a bright smile. "Good Morning, Clark! You came back!"
"As promised! And I brought my lovely lady, Diana, with me!"
Kal is so proud. The way he speaks, that charming smile, the way he holds my hand or have his arm around me, it's like he wants the whole world to know I'm his.
"Good morning!"
"Oh!" Halle was taken aback by Diana's beauty. "Good morning! Such a lovely young lady indeed!"
Diana smiled. "Thank you!"
Kadi nestled against Diana's neck more.
"I didn't even notice! The little bird is so tiny!"
Clark and Diana laughed.
"Yes, she's quite tiny but a fierce little one. Say hi, Kadi."
"Chirp!"
"How sweet! Well I have everything freshly stocked. So help yourselves!"
"Definitely will do!" Clark took Diana's hand again.
Diana looked up at him with a loving smile.
"What is it, Di?"
"I love this feeling of us simply shopping in a market as a couple."
Clark placed his arm around her waist. "Yeah, it is a really good feeling."
Clark and Diana were given a few samples of the pastries much to Diana's delight.
"The danishes are so good!"
Clark chuckled. "I can already tell it's gonna be difficult to choose just a couple of things."
Clark had ordered Diana the largest box of pastry assortments and well as picked out some fruits and vegetables.
Halle smiled as she rung up their items. "It's so amazing to see such a beautiful, happy, loving, young couple!
"Thank you, Mrs. Levi!" Clark and Diana said in unison.
"It was very nice meeting you!" Diana beamed.
"Nice meeting you, too, Diana! Hope you enjoy the pastries!"
"Oh, I will for sure! We will definitely be coming back!"
Leaving out of the market, Diana leaned over to kiss Clark's cheek.
"What is it, Di?"
"My Beloved indulges in my obsession with sugary sweets!"
"It's my job to. Any and everything you want I'll provide, Di."
Diana kissed his cheek again. "My Beloved is also sweeter than any pastries too."
"Now it sounds like you want to eat me," he teased.
"Mhmm…tempting…I just might."
"But you know I'm the one that's going to be eating you all day and night."
Diana blushed.
Arriving back home, Clark went to kitchen to put the fruits and vegetables in the away. Diana stayed outside for a moment to fill back up Kadi's bird feeder.
"Kal and I will check on you a little later, Kadi. Don't go too far if you go adventuring."
"Chirp! Chirp!"
Diana smiled and gently rubbed her little head with her index finger.
Going inside, Diana left the door slightly cracked for Kadi to fly in if she wanted. She then went into the living room to turn on the TV.
SUNDAY NEWS: General Keith Griggs calls for UN Embassy to dismiss Ambassador Diana Prince. Threatens to sue for defamation. Military calls for the disbandment of the Justice League.
Diana double took at the TV screen and gasped.
Clark rushed into the living room. "What is it? What's wrong?" Clark looked at the TV and frowned. "What the hell?"
"He wants a war!" Diana clenched her fists.
Clark immediately enveloped her in an embrace.
"Hey, hey…" He stroked her hair. "We won't give him the reaction he wants. There is so much evidence against him and the others. This is just a low tactic. None of them know who they are actually dealing with."
Diana looked up at him. "Thank you for being by my side through this."
"Of course." He kissed her softly. "It'll all be over soon. Griggs won't win. He is playing with fire and will surely get burned. We got this. I promise."
To be continued…
