Notes: Thoughts are in [[brackets]]
Disclaimer: I did not create the concept of Superman, nor did I develop any of the other characters. Someone else owns those ideas. I just played around with a few ideas I had will watching the recent ABC show.
* * * * *
Clark racked his brain trying to think how to tell Lois that he was Superman. He had not even come close to a way that he could convince himself would keep Lois from flying of the handle. His reasons had been sound, and he was confident she would forgive him…eventually. That was the worry: Lois had been angry with him before, but she happy with him now and he did not want that to end. He sighed: he knew he had to tell her now if he wanted their relationship to move forward. His constant running out for no reason was taking a big toll on both of them. He did not want to hurt Lois, but he had to go. He was determined to stop that today.
"Lois, have you ever notice how much Superman and I resemble each other?" He said to the picture he had picked off her end table. He frowned, that was no good. He paused for a moment and pulled a ring box out of his jacket. He knew he would not get a chance to use it, but had bought it to give himself a little hope and confidence. He held the ring out to the picture. "Lois I love you. It is that simple. Will you marry me?" That was truly awful. He had assumed that would be easy to ask Lois to marry him. He guessed need practice asking her to marry him too. He might as well practice that he reasoned- it was pleasanter. "Lois, we have known each other for some time now and in that time I have fallen in love with you, and I was wondering if you loved me enough to share your life with me forever. No."
Lois could vaguely hear the sound of Clark talking to himself as she came out to go to breakfast with him. She smiled; Clark was so sweet some times. "…marry me Lois." [[What!?]] Her heart stopped. Lois peeked around the corner of her hallway and saw Clark facing away from her, talking to his hands. [[That it that picture of us!]] He shook is head no. "Lois I have to admit being totally in love with you and I need you in my life." [[Yes!!]] Lois smiled to herself. She loved Clark and was glad to see he returned the feeling. She smiled mischievously to herself. She slipped off her shoes and started to tiptoe over to him. "Lois I cannot imagine not having you in my life, I love you, will you marry me and make me the happiest man ever? No, that’s to corny." [[Geez Clark, all you have to do is just ask.]] She slid up right behind him. "Lois you mean the world to me, will you be my wife?"
"Yes," Lois slid her arms around Clark’s chest and kissed his neck. She had expected Clark to turn in her arms and kiss her. Instead he bolted out from her arms dropping the picture, which shattered, and fell over the table, crashing into a heap with a lamp. "Clark! Are you okay?" She rushed to his side.
"Lois!!" Clark sat up looking shocked. "What are you doing here?!"
Lois relaxed now that Clark was fine. "I live here remember?"
"But I thought you were getting ready."
Lois laughed. "I was. Then I finished and heard you practicing some very interesting lines." She traced the outline of his mouth with her finger and leaned in to kissed him. Clark seemed startled, but kissed her back passionately. Lois parted her lips and ran her tongue over Clark’s, slipping in to his mouth. She lost herself in the feel of his tongue dueling hers, but finally had to come for air. "I believe you have some jewelry for me?" She panted.
"What?"
Lois leaned in very close to Clark’s face and rubbed his chest. "I said yes."
A light dawned in Clark’s face and Lois giggled. "But…" he looked around. He stood and picked Lois up in his arms. "I don’t want you to cut yourself." Lois nodded in mock seriousness and wrapped her legs tightly around him and kissed him some more. She thrilled at the feel of his taunt body, knowing that soon it would be intertwined with her own lithe form. Clark carried her over to the couch. "I should clean that up."
He moved to leave, but Lois pushed him down to the couch. "Clark Kent, are you trying to back out of your proposal, even when you know the answer?"
Clark looked away. "Are you sure?"
"Yes!! Clark I love you!"
"What about Superman?"
Lois pulled back, surprised, realizing that he had a very legitimate concern. Superman had not even entered her mind. She did not care for Superman that way anymore, but as she thought about it more she quickly came to understand that she had hurt the man she now loved. "I can’t deny that I used to through myself at him, but that was because he was larger then life. I never loved him the way I do you. I was just infatuation, he knew it too." She blushed when she remembered how she used to through herself at the super hero. Thank god Clark had been so patient "I don’t really know him. I love you, Clark, and you are the only man I could ever love." It was true. She tried to will Clark to know that.
Lois was happy to see him smile and move up to kiss her. Then he shifted uncomfortably again. "What about me always running off?"
Lois sat back on Clark, straddling his waist. "I am not happy about it, but you can tell that. I love you and trust you, it annoys me and I want to know what it is, but I can wait until you are ready. I am not going to let that get in the way of us."
"I was planning to tell you, that was what I was practicing at first. I should tell you before I ask-"
Lois put her finger on Clark’s mouth. "No Clark, I want to be happy now, it can wait."
Clark sat up and moved Lois into a sitting position. He kissed her deeply and moved off the couch to kneel before her. "Lois, I…uh…" Clark struggled to find the right words.
Lois rolled her eyes and put her leg on his shoulder, rubbing her bare inner thigh on his cheek. She could feel his breathe on her pussy through her panties. "Just ask me Clark."
He turned and kissed her leg, causing Lois to jump. The soft nip of his mouth on her leg sent shocks through her. Her pussy started to moisten and she gave a soft moan. Clark smiled softly as he looked at her. "Will you marry me?"
"Yes." She grabbed Clark and kissed him hard on the mouth. Clark separated himself from her long enough to slip the ring onto her finger. They held each other, exchanging kisses, their tongues invading each other’s mouth. Lois rubbed her hands over Clark’s body.
The pleasant feel of his fiancee’s hand’s stroking his body rang a warning bell in his mind. He was wearing his suit! He pulled away. Lois looked at him surprised. "I should clean up."
Lois frowned, what was that? They had been having a very nice time before he had pulled away. It was as though she was scaring him away. [[Oh my god! He is a virgin!!]] She had assumed he had past lovers as she did. He was from the country, maybe his rural roots made him to much of a gentlemen for that. Would he want to wait until their wedding night? She really hoped not, she wanted to get her hands on him as soon as she could. She had been chasing Superman and then waiting for Clark, so she was more than ready. She wondered if she would have to teach him. That was not exactly a great idea considering her past, but it could be fun too. Her mind started to wander as she considered all of the breathtaking possibilities, feeling Clarks cock jump as it shot for the first time. She felt bad for rushing Clark, she had not even thought about it.
Clark cleaned up slowly, trying to think of a way out of his dilemma. He could pretend he had to go, but he was not going to lie to her again. He finally finished.
Lois grabbed him. "I am sorry I was rushing you." She kissed him lightly on the cheek.
