Chapter 9: She had removed his hand from her lap at least half a dozen times since they’d taken their seats in the corner of the room. She was doing her best to focus on taking notes but that was proving to be more difficult a task than usual with her husband deciding now would be a great time to be handsy.
Hello, Handsy Clark! Nice to see you... up and going.
“We need to get out of here,” Clark’s husky tone tickled her eardrums, and she bit her lower lip, feeling goosebumps rise up all over. Her eyes widened as his hand massaged her nylon covered thigh.
Yeah for real, before the staff gets an eyeful.
It was apparent the mixture of red kryptonite and pheromones had done the trick on Clark Kent. Now all she had to do was wait for Superman to go into action and make sure Lois Lane was around so she could prove once and for all that Clark Kent and Superman were one and the same.
Oh, goody! This should be fun.
Perry wore an amused expression as Lois crossed her arms over her chest. He wasn’t an idiot. She knew he was probably laughing on the inside at her weak attempts to pretend like her husband wasn’t trying to feel her up every two seconds.
Haha, busted!
Thankfully Perry remained silent on the very public and overly friendly behavior Clark was exhibiting.
I love this sentence so much. Overly friendly.
“In the meantime, just refrain from giving them anything. No need to give them anything to run with if you know what I mean.”
“That may be easier said than done,” Lois shot a glance toward Clark.
“Well, just do your best.” Perry sighed.
Horn-dog over there is definitely going to do his damndest to give them something to run with.
Also, Perry's sigh is great, knowing that Clark's going to be more than a handful.
“You need to practice some of that oh, so lacking control and patience…You’re going to get both of us fired if you don’t quit it.”
CLARK: I was so very patient before marriage... I can't be held responsible for how impatient I am after.
He let out a sigh and moved his hands to her waist, wrapping his arms securely around her torso. “You’re not going to let this go, are you?”
“Nope,” Lois smiled, relieved to see a glimmer of some normalcy from her husband’s behavior.
*pouts* Everybody's going to think they went into the supply closet for some fun anyway... Why not follow through? If you do the time, do the crime. :devil-angel:
“I’m still fine,” he argued.
Mmmm-hmmmm!
“I just needed to get out of the office. I went for a flight around the block. No big deal,” he responded.
I thought maybe he sneezed so hard he went flying around the office like a balloon leaking helium.
Jimmy Olsen wore an amused expression as he did his best not to make eye contact with either Clark or Lois when he was called over to Lois’ desk. Lois’ disheveled appearance and Clark’s lopsided grin made it obvious what the two of them had been doing just moments ago…in the supply closet no less.
Haha, long gone are the days of Jimmy Interruptus. Jimmy's interrupted one too many times.
“Oh come on, since when do you turn down a flight with…?” Clark began to ask, and she reached over to silence him by grabbing ahold of the one part of him she knew wasn’t invulnerable.
She stole a glance toward him, groaning when she saw he looked cool and collected.
What, she can dish it out but she can't take it?
‘Oh, no,’ Cat watched Jimmy hand, Lois Lane, the file that had fallen off of Clark Kent’s desk. She had completely forgotten to take it back. She watched in despair as Lois Lane’s behavior almost immediately changed once the file was in her hand.
Haha! Cat gets a little taste of karma.
"Uh, they had a lead to chase!" Cat shrugged, hoping her editor bought it.
"Uh-huh," Perry looked to the man with the clipboard
LOIS: Yeah! There was a mystery, in, uh, in the bedroom! More of a race really. An endurance race, very time sensitive.
PERRY: Same lead that you two found in the supply closet, I presume?
"Look out!"
She let out a muffled cry as a white cloth covered hand snaked around her, silencing her before a sound could be made. 'Chloroform' was the last thing that crossed her mind as she fell to the ground, darkness overtaking her instantly.
Uh-oh! Samantha escaped and Lois kidnapped? And only one chapter to go? How?! Oh boy. I'm so excited to see how this all ends. Hopefully I'll get through chapter ten soon.
