No, no filler chapters. We as fans may be interested, but in terms of the story, it's irrelevant. I'd like to see an extension, though -- maybe Clark can explain the SM factor that's been complicating things, making him run away, etc. Having him bare his soul like that would probably reassure her.

We should challenge you more often!
This has been quite a fun ride, and wow

you certainly have a way with love scenes!
Write more soon!
