Chapter 12: Marriage in the Air....

“Lex” Clark said before kissing Lex once they were seated in the car and riding to the airport.

“Don't” Lex said knowing that Clark would go on about how all of this wasn't necessary and that Lex need not bother with it, he as going to make the best of the next few days, once they were married. Clark nodded his head knowing that Lex wouldn't break on this due to the situation they arrived to the airport with surprising speed.

“Ready?” Lex said as the door opened for them to get out or the limo and onto the jet that was on the tarmac of the airport.

“As ever” Clark said before grabbing Lex's hand as they made their way to the jet. Once they were seated and waiting for take off did Lex talk about some of the plans he made for their days away from Metropolis and Kansas .

“Well tonight we will go to dinner and go back to the room to relax; tomorrow on the other hand though will be a busy day for us.” Lex said grabbing Clark 's hand and giving it a squeeze. Clark nodded his head that he understood and then closed his eyes, the days activities were catching up to him and he now that he wouldn't have to worry about someone coming in to take vitals or something like that which they had been doing for a bit now. Lex watched as Clark closed his eyes and waited until he was sure that Clark was asleep or at least close to it before kissing Clark on the forehead and then watching as Clark continued to sleep, two hours later Clark was woken up by Lex shaking his shoulder to let him know that they had arrived to the destination.

“Come on Clark ” Lex said as they exited the plane to the waiting limo sitting on the tarmac again.

“Lex” Clark said with a worried look on his face.

“It's okay let's just go” Lex said before walking to the car and then waiting for Clark to catch back up with him. Clark only nodded his head and made his way to where Lex stood waiting for him near the car.

“This isn't Vegas Lex” Clark said stunned that there was not the strip line of lights when you first arrived to Vegas, or so Clark had seen on TV.

“Don't worry about it come on” Lex said before getting in and pulling Clark into the back so that they could have some privacy on the way to the hotel. As soon as the door closed Lex began kissing Clark trying to make the other man not think about all the events that had happen in the daylight hours of the day.

“Lex” Clark sighed as they broke apart of air, he had needed that type of reassurance from Lex and now that he had it he felt much better about the things that Lex would do for him while here, away from his father who would make him return anything that Lex would give him.

“Enjoy this Clark, I want you to enjoy it” Lex said running a hand down Clark's cheek trying to get Clark to understand that this trip may have stemmed from Lex's visit to his father but that the trip was more for them than for anyone else. This was a chance to be free of all the things that were in the state of Kansas and Metropolis. Clark nodded his head now fully realizing that Lex was doing this for them and not for anyone else. The rest of the trip to the hotel had Clark looking out the window of the limo as they drove down the road with a beautiful sunset just about to start in the sky with Lex telling Clark about the history of the area.

“Mr. Luthor” the driver said as he opened the door for Lex to get out of. Lex exited the car and stood next to it waiting for Clark to come out. Soon after they had both gotten out of the limo they were met with a woman that looked like a supermodel as she sashayed towards them. Clark looked at Lex asking the question of was this supposed to be their help for their visit with his eyes.

“Mr. Luthor, Colette Douhet concierge for Le Meriden Hotel here in Ocenside, California” the woman said while sticking her hand out for Lex to shake and dismissing Clark who was standing next to Lex. Lex took the hand and shook but it seemed as if Colette held onto his hand a bit longer than was necessary. Clark glared at the woman as she began to speak to the both of them in a voice that just screamed “fuck me”. Lex could only shake his head at what people would do to get money for themselves.

“And here is where you will be staying, if you have any problems, concerns or anything else, just call the front desk and I will accommodate anything for you.” Colette said as she stood in the middle of the penthouse waiting for Lex to say something to her.

“Thank you Ms. Douhet” Lex said before guiding the woman towards the door. He had no urge to deal with someone like that this evening. Once the door had closed Lex made his way over to where Clark stood looking at the penthouse in awe.

“You shouldn't have…..” Clark started to say before being cut off by Lex kissing him.

“I want to” was all Lex said before he guided Clark to the penthouse's bedroom so that they could rest before eating dinner.

“We'll take a nap and then go to dinner” Lex said as he shed his suit, shoes and shirt before crawling into bed behind Clark who had stripped down more quickly because of the limited wardrobe that was located at the hospital for him.

“Okay” Clark said turning around so that he could lay his head on Lex's chest as he had done during the Thanksgiving Day holiday when they were at the Kent 's Farm. Soon Clark was asleep with Lex watching him with so much love and fear that tears began to pool in his eyes. He really didn't know what he would do if Clark didn't make it, for he was certain that if Clark died he would be sure to follow due to the pain in his heart that would result from Clark's death. He now really believed that people could die of a broken heart if they loved someone as completely as he did Clark . Lex took a deep breath trying to stem the tears that wanted to fall due to his morbid thoughts on Clark .

“Lex” Clark said in a muffled voice.

“ Clark ” Lex said wanting to know if Clark was still asleep or if he was awake again.

“Stop thinking and rest” Clark said lifting his head slightly to look into Lex eyes. Lex closed his eyes not wanting Clark to see the fear that was coursing through his veins.

“I love you” Clark said before closing the distance to Lex's lips for a kiss that told Lex all that he needed to know, which was that Clark was his and planned to be his for the rest of his life however long it may be.

“ Clark ” Lex said ready to lecture Clark on taking a nap.

“Lex sleep” Clark said laying his head once again against Lex's chest. This time Lex thought of only the love he felt from Clark and the Kents and was soon lulled into a deep sleep. Both slept for two hours before they were awoken by the telephone ringing.

“Luthor” Lex barked into the phone that lay next to the bed.

“Mr. Luthor…..” Colette started out only to be cut off by Lex.

“Is there a reason for this call? I was quite busy before you interrupted me” Lex said before running his hand over his face to try and wake up more.

“Sir, please forgive me. I was just wondering if you require dinner arrangements to be made.” Colette said in a voice that still screamed ‘fuck me now, I'm yours', “no that won't be necessary” Lex said thinking of what Clark would like for dinner.

“Lex” Clark said raising his head with a sleepy look on his face that had Lex wanting to kiss Clark senseless.

“On second thought, make a reservation for two at The Solarium at 7.” Lex said before hanging up the phone not waiting for confirmation that Colette had gotten the request. Clark just smiled a lazy smile at Lex still not completely awake from the nap.

not wanting to get back out of bed where it was probably cold and was far away from Lex's heat.

“ Clark we need to eat” Lex said pushing Clark a bit so that he could get out of bed. Clark just sighed and sat up against the headboard while he watched as Lex made sure that everything was ready for him after he took his shower.

“I'll be right back” Lex said before walking into the bathroom, leaving Clark sitting on the bed wondering about what he was to wear to the restaurant since he didn't bring any clothes with him. A smile soon appeared on Clark 's face at the idea he had running through his mind, now if only he had the guts to do the idea. ‘It's not like you won't see it ever, this is just taking the initiative.' Clark head supplied for him as he looked at the door and trying to decide to go with the plan or not, soon after Clark looked at the door one last time he nodded his head and stood up. Clark slowly made his way to the door of the bathroom and looked inside the slightly open door, for there inside the glass shower was Lex naked as the day he was born. Clark 's breath caught in this throat for Lex was simply beautiful; it was then that Clark decided to follow the plan. Clark quickly took off the boxers that had been on and made his way quietly towards Lex and the shower. It seemed as if Lex was in another world for Clark was not only able to enter the shower without Lex noticing, but he was also able to wrap him arms around Lex's trim waist and kiss the side of Lex's neck.

“ Clark ” Lex said spinning around not believing that Clark was in the shower with him.

“Lex, hi” Clark said while turning a bright red.

“Hmmm, couldn't wait I see” Lex said with a smirk on his face before he pulled Clark to him wanting to show Clark that taking a shower with Lex would always be a good thing for Lex and Clark himself. Lex kissed Clark while running his hands over Clark 's naked form. He had seen most of the body before him, but there was something about being with Clark right now that made things all the more sweeter for him.

“How about I wash your back?” Lex said raising an eyebrow at Clark . Clark could only nod his head still in awe of Lex's body, for the body before him was the most perfect thing he ever saw in a male body. Lex's body spoke of untamed power and respect, which if not recognized, there would be hell to pay later. The one thing that Clark noticed right away due to Lex's state of undress is his sex that sat in a thatch of red wiry hair that had Clark looking at Lex before Lex made his way to the back of Clark .

“My love just relax” Lex said before kissing Clark's shoulder and then washing Clark's back and butt, as Lex made lazy circles closer to Clark's butt cheeks Clark began to pant harder and harder as Lex's hand would linger in areas and also would dip just slightly into Clark's crevice.

“Lex” Clark whined out when it became apparent to Clark that Lex wasn't going to do more unless requested to do so. Lex was about to respond before they both heard the phone ringing in the bathroom.

“Go away” Clark yelled to the phone that lay on the counter top by the sink.

“ Clark ” Lex said before he kissed Clark 's shoulder again and made his way over to the phone with a huge smile on his face at the unhappy look on Clark 's face.

“Luthor” Lex said wanting to know who in the hell was bothering them this time around.

“Mr. Luthor, I just wanted to let you know that your reservation has been made at The Solarium at 7 PM ” Colette purred into the phone hoping to be the second person for the dinner reservation.

“Good” Lex said before hanging up the phone. As he turned around he saw that Clark had come out of the shower and was now drying off.

“Let me help” Lex said before walking over to Clark 's naked form and not caring about his lack of dress for soon Clark would be his husband and he would be seeing and feeling more than he was currently. Clark gave Lex a look that told Lex that if that woman called again she would be getting the wrath of one bald farm boy.

“It's okay Clark ” Lex said kissing Clark on the lips to calm his soon to be husband down. Clark could only nod his head in approval since Lex's lips where currently attached to his lips.

“Come let's get ready” Lex said after drying the both of them off and putting a robe on Clark , so that he could pick out Clark 's outfit for dinner.

“Lex I don't have anything to wear to a restaurant” Clark said in a worried voice over the fact that he had nothing to wear. He was after all hungry and the thought of not being able to eat was making Clark worry.

“Yes you do” Lex said before he opened the closet back up to find a outfit in the new wardrobe that he had bought for Clark.

“Lex!” Clark gasped in surprise at the amount of clothes that were inside of the closet that Clark knew didn't belong to Lex.

“It's my gift to you” Lex said hoping that Clark would take the gift as a wedding present when it was really a gift for Clark's love that he had given to Lex and Lex alone.

“Lex….” Clark started out only to have Lex cut him off with a kiss and then picking out an outfit that would look good on Clark .

“Here put this one on” Lex said once he had a pair of black pants and a red sweater picked out for Clark .

“Lex” Clark said again only to have Lex cut him off with a shake of his head and a push to the bathroom so that both could regroup themselves after the shower scene they just had. Once both were finished Clark made his way over to where Lex stood in the foyer waiting for him.

“Do I look okay?” Clark asked self-conscious of the outfit he had on. He never thought that he would be able to wear this kind of clothing without looking like a huge dork. Lex turned at Clark 's question and his breath was taken away due to the beauty of Clark standing in front of him. Even with his hair missing Clark was still I sight to be seen.

“Lex” Clark asked concerned when Lex didn't respond right away.

“ Clark ” Lex said before prowling towards Clark like a panther. Clark took a small step back before Lex was in his space kissing him with as much passion as he could.

“It's okay” Clark said after they broke apart.

“It's more then okay” Lex said with a smirk knowing that quite a few people would be hitting on Clark while they were at dinner but at the end of the night Clark was his and he planned for Clark to be his until his dieing breath.

“Sure?” Clark asked one last time before Lex nodded his head and grabbed their coats.

“Make sure to wear your beanie” Lex said to Clark before they left the penthouse for dinner. Clark nodded his head before putting on the hat and making his way towards the elevator that stood waiting for them to board. Once they were both standing in the elevator waiting for it go down, Lex got an idea that he knew would put a smile on Clark's face. Lex stepped to the side closer to Clark and then grabbed Clark 's hand, at first Clark jerked but then held on to Lex's hand as they finished their ride down to the main floor.

“First floor, Mr. Luthor” the bellman said while eyeing Lex and the fine tailored casual outfit that Lex had on.

“Thank you” Lex said politely as both he and Clark exited the elevator, once both had stepped off they were met once again by Colette.

“Mr. Luthor” Colette said not even paying attention to Clark and that Lex was holding Clark 's hand.

“Ms. Douhet” Lex said raising an eyebrow wondering why the woman was standing in front of the pair when she knew that they would need to leave soon to arrive at the restaurant to be seated.

“Do you require…..” Colette said trying to get asked to go to dinner with Lex.

“If you get a car ready for us” Lex said walking closer to the door of the hotel and already wanting to leave due to Colette's advances towards him.

“Of course, of course” Colette said watching as Lex walked away with Clark next to him. She narrowed her eyes before going over to the front desk and making a call for a limo to be pulled up front.

“Lex” Clark said shifting uncomfortably from foot-to-foot due to the amount of attention that Colette was giving Lex.

“It's okay Clark ” Lex said already planning what he would need to do to get them out of this hotel if he could not be assigned a new concierge. Clark knew that Lex was already working on a plan if the quick squeeze that he gave Clark's hand as they stood outside of the hotel foyer waiting for the limo to arrive was any indication.

“Mr. Luthor” the limo driver said while opening the back door of the limo for Clark and Lex to enter the car.

“The Solarium, Mr. Luthor” the driver asked once he had arrived behind the wheel. He had been told by Colette that he was to take Lex to Frottage, where she would meet up with Mr. Luthor after he dropped Mr. Luthor's companion back off at the hotel.

“That would be correct” Lex said wondering on why the driver would ask that kind of question since he had just been told a few minutes early. The ride and dinner at The Solarium went off without a hitch. Lex and Clark arrived back to the penthouse only to see Colette standing outside of the main doors waiting in what both Clark and Lex would classify as lingerie.

“Ms. Douhet” Lex said glancing at the woman and then shaking his head slightly at what people would do for his money.

“Mr. Luthor” Colette said before she glared at Clark as if he needed to make himself invisible.

“Is there a reason you are here at the front door of where we are staying?” Lex said getting angry at the looks the woman was giving his fiancé.

“I missed you at dinner” Colette stated as if they had made plans for dinner.

“I did not ask you, if you would dine with me. I plan to spend as much time with my fiancé during this trip and breakfast, brunch, lunch, supper or dinner I will not be dinning with you.” Lex said trying to get the woman in front of him to understand that she needed to leave them alone. He hadn't wanted to leave the hotel since all their plans for the wedding were made here, but if she continued in this vain he would be moving the both of them to a different hotel and soon. Colette looked at Clark and then back to Lex before she walked off planning her next move to get Lex.

“Lex” Clark said tired and sad that things weren't as quiet as he had hoped this would be.

“I'll take care of it” Lex said as they walked into the penthouse and Clark made a bee line to the bedroom to change into some pajamas. Lex on the other hand walked into the living room and got on the house phone that was in the room.

“I want to speak to him now” Lex hissed into the phone. He was not at all happy with the way things were going currently and if the general manager or someone higher did not take care of Ms. Colette Douhet he would and that would end badly for both the hotel and her.

“Mr. Luthor, what seems to be the problem?” an older man spoke into the phone to Lex.

“Richard” Lex said glad that he was talking to someone that he knew would be able to take care of things.

“Ms. Douhet is the problem” Lex said holding the bridge of his nose before he gave a slight moan when he felt Clark's hands wrap around his shoulder blades working the knots that were in the shoulders out.

“Colette Douhet?” The other man said surprised that his best concierge was giving Lex Luthor trouble.

“Yes, it seems that she has decided that I was going out to dinner with her” Lex said relaxing now that Clark was next to him and doing wonderful things to his shoulders.

“That is a problem” Richard said already wondering what Colette was up to.

“If you do not either rein her in or how about get rid of her from being my concierge I would appreciate it. I think the hotel would as well…” Lex said leaving the unsaid threat hanging knowing that Richard would do as he was told and take Colette off of Clark's and Lex wedding plans.

“Consider it done” Richard said before saying his goodbyes and that he would update Lex in the morning about who would be assisting them for their stay from this point forward.

“Lex” Clark said before moving closer and kissing the side of Lex's neck that was closest to him.

Lex moaned already enjoying how Clark was taking care of him. Clark may have not have money but he had the one thing that Lex would always want and from Clark only which was love and a love so pure that it took his breath away every time he looked into Clark's eyes. Clark continued rubbing and working on getting the knots out of Lex's shoulders for a few more minutes before he stopped so that they could go to bed.

“ Clark ” Lex said once Clark 's hand had stilled long enough for him to know that Clark wasn't going to continue on any longer.

“Want more?” Clark said with humor in his voice, he had been hoping to get Lex to seduce him but that hadn't happened yet.

“Hmmm” Lex said before standing and grabbing Clark 's hand and then walking the both of them into the bedroom for some more quality time.

“You my love are…..” Lex said before pulling off his shirt and walking over to where Clark sat on the side of the bed. Clark looked up to see all the love that Lex had for him running through Lex's usually unreadable eyes. They had never been unreadable for Clark , but that was because he had taken the time to get to know Lex, not Luthor not Alexander or anything else that people named Lex.

“Bed, tomorrow is going to be a long and busy day” Lex said before he got into bed after getting undressed. Clark took one look at Lex's face and knew that they needed to go to sleep.

The next morning had Lex shaking Clark 's shoulder letting Clark know that there was breakfast waiting for them out on the patio. Clark rolled over once Lex had left so that he could look through the window that had the curtains open showing the sunny skies and what looked like a beautiful day ahead of him. Clark stretched like a cat and then made his way to the patio doors in the living room.

“Glad you decided to join me” Lex said with a smile on his face at what Clark looked like. Clark just playfully glared before flopping down and digging right in to the breakfast. Lex just watched with his smile getting larger as Clark continued to eat. Their quiet breakfast was broken by the house phone ringing.

“I'll be back” Lex said leaning over Clark 's shoulder to get a kiss. Clark just nodded his head after the kiss and watched as Lex went into the penthouse to answer the phone. Five minutes later had Lex walking back out of the penthouse and making his way back to the patio table.

“Seems as if a Ms. Douhet will not be our concierge for the rest of our stay, the general manager has assigned us to what he called a “newbie” which he finds will be one of the best concierges in the city.” Lex said before sitting in the chair next to Clark as apposed to across from Clark . Clark couldn't help but laugh at the word ‘newbie' coming out for Lex's mouth. Lex decided that the only way to shut Clark up was to kiss him and kiss him he did. Once they broke apart Clark felt a shiver run down his spine at the thoughts of what Lex would do with him once they were married for if that kiss was anything to go by Clark was in a long night of passion on their wedding night. Lex just grinned like a shark seeing the lust, excitement and anticipation running through Clark 's eyes.

“Let's get dressed we need to meet the concierge in an hour.” Lex said standing up and making his way to the bedroom and then shower. Clark hopped up once he realized that Lex was going to take a shower, he made a bee line to the bathroom so that he could shower with Lex.

“Came to join in” Lex said a smile on his face at the look on Clark 's face. Clark only pushed Lex aside and stepped into the shower stall, with awe still in his brain that he was naked next to Lex Luthor, not only the most beautiful male for two years running but also the love of Clark's life. Lex only smiled while grabbing Clark by the waist and pulling him the rest of the way in.

“This is nice” Clark said after standing under the shower head for 10 minutes while Lex took care of his every need in the shower except for his cock that had been hard since the moment he walked into the bathroom.

“I must agree, but if we plan to meet the new concierge in the next 20 minutes we need to get out of the shower and into some clothes.”

“Can't we just stay here?” Clark said trying to pout trying to make Lex cave.

“It won't work, so let's get out and get going. We have items that must be done before the wedding tomorrow.” Lex said before he saw Clark 's face light up with the thought of them getting married.

“Okay” Clark said before getting ready for the day. Ten minutes later had Clark and Lex walking towards the bouquet of flowers that sat in the middle of the foyer in a large water feature that sat in the middle of the foyer.

“Mr. Luthor” a strawberry blonde haired man said as he made his way toward where Clark and Lex stood side by side. Lex only raised an eyebrow waiting for the man to introduce himself before he would respond.

“Oh, sorry about that, Bobby Voss, your new concierge for the rest of your stay here at Le Meriden.” Bobby said with a blush on his cheeks at how forgetful he was being. Lex eyed the man in front of him before taken the offered hand that had been given to him shortly after Bobby had spoken.

“Okay, well it seems that there is to be a wedding. When is it again?” Bobby said looking through his files that had been given to him by his manager.

“Tomorrow” Lex said raising at eyebrow at how this new young man was going to be the one of the best concierge in Ocenside, California, if he couldn't even be bothered with reading the materials given to him before meeting them.

“Right, 6 PM on the beach?” Bobby said looking at Lex for confirmation while never taking notice of Clark at all.

“Yes that is correct” Lex said waiting for the man to get the show on the road.

“And you fiancé?” Bobby said looking around the foyer to see if he could see the woman in question that would marry Lex Luthor.

“Standing next to me” Lex said with displeasure in his voice, this “boy” was really slacking if he didn't even know what his client was requesting.

“Ah well then” Bobby said sizing up Clark and then turning on his heel making his way out of the hotel and then to the beach where most weddings were held when people got married in the small but rich city.

“Here we are” Bobby said before opening up his portfolio that he had in his hands and getting out a pen to write things down for the wedding.

“Clark would you like flowers” Lex said looking at the beach and getting more and more excited as they got closer and closer to himself and Clark being bound for life if he had any say so in the matter.

“How about some orchids, peonies, tulips, forget-me-not wrapped with ivy” Clark said looking at the amazing view and the beauty of the beach by its self.

“Well that is what we shall have, any colors you want the orchids, peonies, tulips and forget-me-not to be?” Lex said thinking of colors he thought might work well with the blue ocean back drop.

“White and lavender” Clark said a blush on his cheeks at the colors he had chosen, the white represented him and his innocents and purity of love while the lavender represented Lex with his refinement and grace while showing off his elegance in love.

“White and lavender” Bobby said turning his nose up at the colors chosen.

“Is there a problem with that” Lex said already not liking Bobby and the way he was treating Clark . If things didn't get better soon, Lex would be paying Richard the general manager of Le Meriden a visit.

“No, it's just that I would have thought you would have used bolder colors, deep reds, oranges and greens” Bobby said now clearly aware of what he had just done.

“We will have white and lavender and it would be best that you hold your tongue on decisions that we make for you are not the one to be in the ceremony.” Bobby nodded his head mutely before writing down the flowers and colors that Clark had picked out, for the rest of the day plans were made about when the minister would arrive what would happen if there was to be rain and the quiet meal that would be waiting for the pair when they returned to the penthouse. The only thing left to do was to pick out the marriage bands for the ceremony.

“Feel up to going” Lex asked Clark, who had his head lying in Lex's lap. Clark just nodded his head with his eyes closed, the days events were catching up to him but he was going to see this out so that they could rest in peace for the next evening activities; all of their activities. Clark still blushed every time he thought of Lex above him pumping into his body while kissing and showing Clark how much Lex loved him.

“Alright there” Lex said with a smirk on his face do to the red tint that stained Clark 's cheeks.

“Yeah” Clark said before swinging his body in an upright position so that they could go into town and have a look at the jewelry stores that were in the downtown area.

“You sure” Lex whispered into Clark 's ear as he stood over his soon to be husband. Clark could only nod his head in the positive manner to the fear of squeaking if he spoke now.

“Well, shall we?” Lex said holding out his hand and giving Clark a hand up so they could get shopping. Lex could tell that Clark wasn't going to last too much longer and so he hoped that within the first few stores they would find what they were looking for in the form of wedding bands for the both of them.

“Good evening” an older man said as both Lex and Clark entered the store.

“Good evening to you as well” Lex said properly before he walked toward one of the jewelry display cases that held men's wedding bands.

“Are you looking for a wedding set?” the man asked behind the counter watching the two younger men with a critical eye.

“We are” Lex said already on guard due to the older man's question.

“Come this way” the man said before walking toward a small jewelry case that held wedding bands so unique that Clark was instantly drawn toward the case and the pieces inside. Once the man was behind the counter he could feel the love washing off the two young men with such power that it led him to sit down for a moment causing both Clark and Lex to notice that the older man was now seated.

“Are you alright?” Lex asked concerned over the older man's health due to his abrupt seat he had taken.

“Fine, fine” the man said before he disappeared into the back of the store for a few minutes before returning with a black velvet square that held two identical rings. Both Clark and Lex looked at each other as they watched the older man make it the rest of the way to where they now stood on one side of the jewelry case.

“I think these shall work beautifully with the rings you wear now” the man said before pointing out the two identical black bands that lay on both Lex's and Clark's ring finger, the only difference on the rings were the words that were engraved on the outside of the ring. Clark took a look at the rings and knew that the man had picked the perfect wedding band for them. He knew that the true “wedding bands” could not over power the original since Lionel Luthor was on Lex's case about his significant other and whether or not he could gain control of Lex and his company.

“Your current band should slip right in between the two rows of platinum.” The man said before putting down the square and asking for Clark 's hand to show what the ring would look like. Once the ring was placed in the channel between the two bands, Clark and Lex both knew that this was the wedding bands for them.

“The total weigh for the diamonds are .50 with a color G rating” the man said while showing off the ring and how well it went with the rings they had currently. Clark only nodded his head figuring Lex knew more than he did on what the man was talking about.

“The two rings will not be fused correct?” Lex asked not wanting to change the ring that Clark gave him in any way.

“No, it will just be placed between the two channels and once off the rings can be removed from the channel again.” The older name said with a warm smile on his face, due to love he saw in Lex's eyes and the care at which he wanted the ring to be in. Lex nodded his head before he whispered into Clark 's ear.

“Do you want this one, or do you want to look around some more?”

“I want these” Clark said showing Lex how tired he was and how he didn't think he would be able to make it much longer.

“We can look in the morning”

“No, I want that one” Clark said smiling at Lex to let him know that even though he was tired he wasn't going to pick something to just be done with it.

“If you're sure” Lex said before putting his arms around Clark 's waist.

“Very” Clark said before taking the ring in his hand again and looking to the man for help.

“What size and when does it need to be ready by?”

“Tomorrow if possible and I wear a 10 and Clark wears a 12” Lex said with a smile on his face. He had been so proud to figure out Clark 's ring size without too must sneaking around.

“Actually I have only these two rings and they are a 10 and 12. My wife, God rest her soul seems to be clairvoyant and said that I needed to make these rings and in those sizes.” The older man said while smiling at the pair and wondering if his wife had a bit of magic in her blood. Clark stared wide eyed, surprised that the man behind the case was so accepting of their relationship. He had noticed the stares that he got when he was in Smallville when he said he was doing something with Lex. Chloe, Pete and Lana would always grimace before asking for details.

“ Clark ” Lex said after he had finished the transaction with the older gentleman.

“Can we go now?” Clark asked tiredly.

“Of course” Lex said before he started barking orders into the cell phone that he pulled out of his pocket. Twenty minutes later had Clark and Lex arriving back to the penthouse doors only to be met by not only Bobby Voss but also Colette Douhet, with smiles on their faces.

“Mr. Luthor” both Colette and Bobby said at the same time.

“What?” Lex said before wrapping his arms around Clark's body knowing that the two in front of them were about to play some sort of game that would tire Clark even more than he currently was.

“Bobby and I have spoken about the wedding ceremony that is to be held tomorrow and we have some changes that we need to show you.” Colette said with a confident air about her.

“There will be no changes” Lex said before glaring at the pair wondering what they were up to.

“Mr. Luthor, I really think it would be a good idea to hear some of these ideas and changes out.” Bobby said with a shy smile on his face, acting like a high school boy which he was not.

“I don't have to listen to anything and further more, why are you speaking with Ms. Douhet about my wedding ceremony? I thought this was all confidential?” Lex said wondering if Richard the General Manager of the Le Meriden knew what was going on.

“Mr. Luthor!” Colette said as if shocked that Lex would say such a thing.

“Lex, I'm tired” Clark whispered into Lex's ear after Colette spoke.

“We are done here” Lex said the moment that Clark finished speaking, and then turned both himself and Clark around to the penthouse doors only to be stopped by Bobby putting a hand on Lex's arm that was wrapped around Clark.

“What do you think you are doing?” Lex asked livid that this “boy” was touching him and touching the same arm that was wrapped around the love of his life.

“Getting you away from *him*” Bobby said with a sneer on his face. He still couldn't believe that *this* guy was who Lex Luthor was going to marry. Granted the *boy* was hot, but he was definitely not in Lex Luthor's social class and that was something that just could not happen.

“It would do you well to not only release my arm but also leave from these doors by the time I get back.” Lex said while wrapping his arm tighter around Clark . He could feel Clark 's body shaking due to the tiredness and the words that Bobby spoke about him. Bobby and Colette each looked at each other and made the decision to wait until Lex came back to bombard him with wedding items and maybe even a wedding if they could pull it off.

“ Clark ” Lex said gently once they were in the penthouse.

“It's okay Lex” Clark said with tears in his eyes. He had known when he fell in love with Lex that people would always question the reason on why they were together and was it really love that kept Clark there.

“I love you” Lex said knowing that Clark was thinking of the words that Bobby spoke, there may have not been much said but the connotation of the words spoke volumes. Clark could only nod his head due to the feelings that were about to spill over.

“ Clark , I love you” Lex said again worried that Clark was going to say or do something that would break his heart. He had never in the time after his mother's death said those words to any one besides Clark and he was going to see to it that Bobby Voss and Colette Douhet would pay if Clark did in fact break his heart.

“I love you too Lex, but….” Clark said getting ready to tell Lex that maybe this marriage thing was a bad idea since people seemed so against it.

“No, there are no buts to it. The love we share is ours and no one; not my father, not those two that are outside of that door or this world will keep me from marrying you, Clark. You mean everything to me Clark …” Lex said now choking up on the feelings that he had running through his body now as well. Clark stood stunned at the words that Lex spoke before grabbing the thinner man and kissing him as if his life depended on it. Once the kiss ended Lex and Clark both knew that this was what they both wanted and were now ready to do battle with anyone that thought that the two together was not something that a Luthor would do.

“Now you need to rest and I need to take care of a pair of concierges that seem hell bent on not seeing this wedding through.” Lex said guiding Clark to the bedroom while rubbing Clark 's back.

“Stay with me” Clark whispered not wanting Lex out of his sight at the present time. There was just something in the looks that Colette and Bobby were giving Lex that told Clark that the pair was up to something.

“Of course” Lex said glad that he would not need to go out and deal with the pair again.

“I think that we will just have to locate to another hotel here in the area and maybe push the wedding back so that we can have a wedding that we truly want.” Lex said as he sat down on the bed with the cordless phone from the suite in his hands. Clark only nodded his head in agreement since he knew that Lex was right. It was while Lex called down to the front desk that Clark grinned a little at the thought of surprising Lex with stripping in front of the older man.

“Richard” Lex started out only to stop his words due to watching Clark as he took off the t-shirt that he had on and then shimmied his way out of the jeans that incased his legs.

“Lex…..Mr. Luthor?” The man on the other side of the phone spoke.

“Mr. Luthor?” The man asked again only this time Lex responded.

“Richard”

“Lex, what can I do for you?”

“It seems that Mr. Voss has taken it upon himself to redesign my wedding with the help of Ms. Douhet. I thought that this matter had been taken care of. I did not want to be met by the pair at the penthouse door and then told of changes that would be made to my wedding, which is tomorrow. I am beginning to see that my business should be moved elsewhere so that I can have my expectations met without a problem. It is not their concern on whom and how I marry a person, they are to prepare the ceremony and make sure that things move along smoothly.” Lex spoke into the phone while pacing back and forth in front of Clark .

“Lex sit down” Clark said pulling the other man down to sit in the nook that Clark had created by laying on his side and curling up like a cat. Lex gave Clark a look before he smirked and started to run his hand up and down Clark 's now bare side.

“Goose bumps” Lex mouthed to Clark before he spoke into the phone again.

“I will not allow this to occur any longer Richard, now do something about it.” Lex was silent for a moment before he nodded his head in agreement and then spoke.

“I will agree to that, now when shall we meet?”

“Lex” Clark asked wanting to know what was going on and also for Lex to continue his “pets”. Lex smiled and ran his hand back up and down Clark 's side.

“We will see you then Richard.” Lex said before hanging up the phone and then tossing it away as he dived in for a kiss.

“You tempt me too much, you know” Lex said with a smile on his face after the kiss ended.

“No, you tempt me” Clark said kissing Lex on the lips lightly and then giggling a bit like a girl.

“ Clark ” Lex said with a laugh in his voice. He was so glad that he was here with Clark and that this was actually going to work out for him for once in his life. After his mother died the thought of love from any one was killed, due to Lionel Luthor drilling the idea that the only reason people want to be near the “bald freak” was due to who his father was and how much money they had. Now though he had found love and a family with Clark and he planned on doing any and everything to keep it that way.

“So what is going on?” Clark said pulling Lex closer to get the older man's body heat closer to him.

“Richard has decided that he is going to take care of the wedding ceremony personally and also release Mr. Voss and Ms. Douhet of their responsibilities here at the Le Meriden.”

“Really?” Clark asked stunned.

“Yes, it seems that Richard is very concerned over the way they are presenting themselves to us. Who is to say that they are not acting with the same attitude towards other guests?”

“Lex” Clark said a frown on his face at the words that Lex spoke. He never thought that maybe the pair really were just jerks and didn't like that he was here with Lex and had to wait on a “farm boy” instead of some millionaire or billionaire; like Lex; while at work.

“I have to agree with Richard on this one Clark .” Lex said already knowing that Clark would fight for the pair to keep their jobs even if they were being jerks to the both of them.

“But…but won't they say something the minute that they are fired?” Clark asked worried that Lionel Luthor would find out the information before the wedding could even occur.

“When they were hired they signed a contract stating that they would never release the going-ons here at the hotel. I also had them both sign a contract stating that they are not allowed to speak to anyone about our wedding and when and where it occurred.” Lex said a smirk on his face; he had known that things would not go as smoothly as he hoped, so he had made sure to have both Clark and himself covered on it. He did not want his father coming in and ruining this.

“But what if they talk anyway?” Clark said worried now that the marriage wouldn't occur.

“Then they will be fined five hundred thousand dollars and I will take them to court on top of that. We can't worry about those two; we have a wedding to re-plan and the rest of this mini-vacation to enjoy.” Lex said before pulling Clark closer to him and kissing him softly and with as much love as he could. The pair broke the kiss when a knock came to the door to the penthouse.

“Lex” Clark asked worried that it was Colette and Bobby coming to take Lex away.

“That should be Richard” Lex said before getting up and answering the door. Just as Clark made his way through the bedroom door he was greeted by a man with salt and pepper gray hair, blue eyes and a warm smile on his face.

“And you must be Clark ” the man said sticking out his hand and shaking Clark 's hand. Clark looked to Lex and was met with laughter from the pair.

“Uh yeah” Clark responded feeling like a huge dope for not answering right away.

“Good, good….it would not do to have Lex bedding another man right before his wedding day.” Richard said with his voice taking a hard edge to it, showing both Clark and Lex that he was serious in what he was saying.

“ Clark is the love of my life Richard and I would never, ever betray the trust and love that Clark has given me with something as stupid as that.” Lex said the conviction in his voice showing how serious he was.

“Lex it's okay” Clark said coming over to the other man and hugging him. He could feel the waves of pain rolling off Lex due to the words that Richard had spoken.

“I'm sorry Lex” Richard said when he noticed that his words hurt Lex in a way he never intended them to. Lex said nothing, only listening to Clark whisper words of love and caring before he spoke again.

“I'm sorry Lex” Richard said again hoping that he hadn't messed things up with the Luthor heir. Lex had always been a good friend, and he had always sort of thought of Lex as the son he never had.

“Richard, it's alright; you spoke your true feelings” Lex said now understanding why Richard had spoken the words. Clark had, had to explain to him that the older man was just trying to be the father that Lionel Luthor was not to Lex.

“Lex, I didn't mean….” Richard started only to be cut off by Lex.

“No, its okay and I must agree if I ever bedded another I don't think I would be able to continue on with the thought of the betrayal that I had done to my love.” Lex said hugging Clark tighter before releasing the younger man.

“So everything good?” Clark asked wanting to get the planning out of the way so that he and Lex could crawl into bed for the night. The other two men laughed before making their way to the dinning room table.

“Well let's get started” Richard said and then pulled out the folder that he had given both Colette and Bobby when working with the pair in front of him. It was three hours and one pizza later that saw Richard leaving the penthouse and off to his office.

“Lex” Clark sighed as he made his way toward the bedroom door.

“Did I keep you up too late?” Lex asked concerned that he may have had Clark over do things with helping plan the wedding; most of the details where still in tack which made things go a lot faster, but they could also see the changes that the pair had made and were angered by them.

“No” Clark was before a large yawn came out of his mouth to state otherwise.

“Yes I have” Lex said now concerned for Clark 's health and whether or not he was pushing the young man too much.

“Lex, I'm fine just tired is all don't worry about it. A good nights rest in my love's arms will take care of me.” Clark said a smile on his face to show that he was feeling just fine if only just a bit tired for all of the day's activities and stresses.

“Oh that can very much be arranged for you” Lex said pulling Clark into his arms and kissing the other man lightly before pushing him towards the bedroom doors that still stood open from when they came out of the bedroom to meet Richard. Clark went the way he was pushed with a laugh and a backwards glance at the other man standing in the middle of the open foyer area where they had left Richard out for the night, for standing there was Lex with his shirt having the first three buttons undone and looking content and relaxed, most would be surprised at the look but Clark could only smile warmly to himself and continue onto the bedroom where he would wait for Lex to arrive. A few minutes later Lex walked into the bedroom to see Clark laying on the bed dead asleep on top of the covers with the French door to the small patio area for the bedroom open, he could only assume that Clark was listening to the waves that crashed upon the rock and beach below before he fell asleep for the night.

“My love” Lex said before going into the bathroom and getting ready for bed as well, once his body hit the bed it was like Clark knew that Lex was near and his body some how found the other.

“Even in sleep he knows where I am” Lex said to himself laughing quietly before putting out the nightstand light that was on when he came into room, once the light went out it seemed that the darkening of the room woke Clark up.

“Lex?” Clark queried to the dark room.

“I'm here Clark ” Lex said before kissing the bald head that lay on his chest Clark only nodded his head once it reached it's destination of Lex's chest before he fell back to sleep. Lex watched Clark for about an hour before he too fell asleep to the sound of the waves crashing below and the warm body next to him that would be there until his dieing day if he had anything to say about it.

The next morning had Lex yet again waking a sleeping Clark .

“ Clark ” Lex said kissing the younger man that was still attached to his body; it seemed that this time he would not be as successful with getting out of the other's grasp.

“Sssssshhhhhh” Clark said before looking up and grinning and going back to his spot on Lex's chest.

“ Clark we can lay here all day and not get married or we can get up and do this and more after we get married today.” Lex said with a smile on his because he knew that Clark would be out of bed in a shot once he realized that today was the day that they would be bound together for the rest of their lives if all things went as planned.

“Okay, okay” Clark said yawning and then stretching like a cat, which had Lex groaning at the thought of Clark doing that same thing with even less clothes on and a package of lube close by.

“You tempt me” Lex said again before getting out of the bed and making his way towards the bathroom where he could relieve himself. Clark could only laugh at the look on Lex's face before he closed the door to the bathroom; it was one that say he would be using his left hand in the near future due to the younger man.

“Can't have that, now can we?” Clark asked the empty room; now that he was up he felt refreshed and excited for the day ahead for it was his wedding day after all.

“Lex” Clark said once he entered the bathroom to see Lex waiting for him near the running shower.

“I knew you would be along to *help* me out” Lex said a smirk on his face that told Clark that he had better do something and soon if he wanted to walk out of the bathroom without a red face from embarrassment.

“Come here you” Clark said grabbing Lex and then dragging the other into the shower. Once inside Clark began to clean Lex as if he didn't notice that Lex's cock was hard and waiting for him.

“ Clark ” Lex whined just a bit to show that he really, really did need something to take the edge off for today. He wasn't really sure if he would make it through the day and into the night that they had planned before he would take Clark and ravish him. Clark just laughed before taking Lex's cock in his hands for the first time, he hoped that he wouldn't mess things up but if the moan that Lex just gave was any indication he was doing quite fine.

“Clark, please” Lex said grabbing the other man and kissing him while he placed his hands on Clark's ass, the feeling made Clark want to drop to his knees then and there but did all in his power to stay up right.

“Anything” Lex babbled to Clark trying to get the other man to do something to relieve the pent-up excitement that bubbled within his body. Clark smiled softly before bending his head and kissing Lex while moving his hands in what he hoped would give Lex the most pleasure he could give without him getting to his knees and blowing Lex to within an inch of his life. A moment later Clark was grabbed and his neck was bitten by and orgasm-ing Lex.

“Mine” Lex said after he had regained some of his faculties.

“So says the mark on my neck” Clark said touching the bruise lightly before wincing at the pain he felt from the mark. It felt good to be owned by Lex; he had just hoped that the marking would take place after the ceremony and not before, Clark could only laugh before Lex took his hands away from the purple/red bruise that was forming with a look of concern on his face.

“ Clark ” Lex said backing a bit away, shocked that he had bitten his love so hard and without second thought.

“It's okay, trust me it's more than okay” Clark said grabbing the backing away Lex so that he couldn't get too far away from him. They had things they had to talk about and they needed to do it right here and now from the looks of it. Clark had wanted to warn the other man before they got married that he would bruise easily and that if any bruises did show up to not take them seriously, but it seemed that, that talk needed to be done now and quickly.

“I bruise super easy Lex; I was going to tell you before things got too….” Clark blushed here at not being able to say the words. Lex looked at Clark and the bruise on his neck before asking Clark to explain.

“Explain”

“Due to some of the drugs, I bruise much easier than I used to. I mean look at my arm” Clark said before showing Lex his arm where a large bruise was forming at about the location of where the phlebotomist had taken some blood before he left the hospital for the trip.

“What happened?” Lex said angry due to the bruise.

“They took some blood, I held pressure on it for ten minutes as they said and it still bruised. Lex it is just something that comes along with the treatment, please don't let it stop you from making love to me.” Clark said with a blush and serious look on his face that made Lex melt due to how cute it looked on Clark . He knew he couldn't refuse his love, but the bruise on Clark 's arm showed him that he would have to be much more careful than he had planned to be when they had sex for the first time.

“ Clark ” Lex started only to be cut off by the phone ringing.

“Luthor” Lex said by way of answering the phone, a frown quickly appeared on Lex's face as the person on the other side of the phone spoke.

“A car waiting for me? To take me where?” Lex said into the phone not believing his ears. Clark tried not to worry about the redness that seemed to be creeping up Lex's neck, but knew better than to think that the phone call was about something good. When Lex looked at the door as if it would open Clark made a bee line to his soon-to-be husband.

“What's going on?” Clark mouthed to Lex, only to have Lex shake his head and speak into the phone.

“No I did not order that” Lex said a hard edge to his voice; he was getting quite upset at the idea of what was going on.

“I am positive, so you will take yourself back to Spring Valley or where ever it is that you said you came from and tell the person who told you to pick me up that they are incorrect if they think that I will going any where with them.” Lex said before hanging up the phone and not waiting for a response.

“Lex?” Clark said wondering if things were okay.

“It's okay Clark, just a misunderstanding” Lex said with a smile on his face due to the look on Clark's face, that just woke up and took a shower but very worried look made Lex want to take Clark right there and now.

“Are you sure?” Clark asked worried, knowing that either Colette or Bobby had a hand in the phone call that had just come, he was certain of it.

“Yes Clark, nothing or no one is going to ruin this day for us. I have everything covered, trust me on this.” Lex said pulling a semi-wet and dressed into his arms for a hug. He knew that the other hand would worry until they said ‘I do' and he was going to do everything in his power to make sure that it happened and it happened today.

“Okay, you know I trust you with my life” Clark said with tears coming to his eyes, with the thought of how much trust and love he had for Lex.

“I know you do” Lex said before kissing Clark lightly on the lips and then backing away a bit and clapping his hands.

“Well, let's get ready; we have a wedding to be at.” Lex said a beautiful smile on his face, which made Clark fall in love with the older man all over again and even more.

“That we do, that we do” Clark said before going into the bedroom and putting on a pair of shorts and t-shirt that Lex had picked out for him sometime while he wasn't paying attention.

“You suit is in here with me” Lex said already dressed and looking his usually Luthor self.

“So” Clark said once he came out of the bedroom dressed.

“Mine” Lex said grabbing Clark and kissing him on the bruise that had formed now since their talk.

“Glad to hear it” Clark said a smile on his face and a look of love in his eyes.

“Well, let me call Richard to make sure things are a go” Lex said before picking up the phone and dialing Richard's number and waiting.

“So are things good” Lex said into the phone in greeting.

“Glad to hear it, there was already an attempt” Lex said before he nodded his head and then leaned into Clark's body as the younger man had made his way over to where Lex stood, stiff and Luthor like.

“Glad you took care of it” Lex said before saying his goodbyes and Lex threw the phone somewhere in the room.

“Feel better” Clark said with his arms wrapped around the other man.

“Much” Lex said sighing and releasing the anger that had bubbled up since the other phone conversation due to being in Clark 's arms.

“Richard said that there will be a car waiting to take us to the garden at the back of the hotel.” Lex said pulling himself out of Clark 's grasp and making his way towards where he had thrown the phone. He hadn't wanted to carry down their tuxes themselves, but if the phone call from earlier was any indication they would have to.

“What are you doing” Clark asked wondering what was going on in Lex's mind.

“I was going to try and get someone to take the tuxes down, but I don't trust the staff here at the moment if you know what I mean?” Lex said before he threw the phone on the table that sat in the dinning/living area they had in the room.

“I think I agree” Clark said before going and grabbing the tux bags and smiling.

“Oh no you don't” Lex said grabbing the bags from Clark and then making his way towards the front door.

“Lex, I can take care of myself”

“I know that, but I want to take care of you” Lex said knowing that he would win the fight since Clark loved to hear how much he cared for him.

“Okay, okay you win” Clark said with a laugh knowing that Lex would pull out that card to take the tux bags. The ride down to the lobby of the hotel was made with Lex and Clark talking quietly to them selves before arriving to the large open area that was the lobby.

“Ready” Lex said after they made their way out of elevator and towards the back of the lobby area where he knew that the car would be waiting for them.

“Yeah” Clark said grabbing Lex's hand and walking with the other man towards that back of the lobby area as well. Once they arrived to the door that Richard had indicated to them the night before Lex quickly opened the door and pulled Clark through the door to make sure that no one would see them entering the door. Once through the door, Lex was surprised to see the sunshine in his eyes, he hadn't expected the door to take them right outside but he saw that it did.

“Ready” Lex said seeing the car that they hoped would take them to their wedding.

“Ready” Clark said before taking the first step towards the car. Lex could only shake his head at how confident his love was about this. He still had moments where he was certain that Clark was going to back out or that something was going to happen to where he would not be able to marry his love, but so far nothing had happened and he hoped to keep it that way. Lex followed quickly and before they knew it they were at the car with Lex giving the driver 20 questions before entering the car, just to make sure that it was the correct car.

“You think the minister will be there when we get there?” Clark asked in the silence that had over come the vehicle.

“He should be” Lex said taking Clark 's hand in his and rubbing the back of it with his thumb. Ten minutes later the pair arrived to a beautiful flower garden that had tons and tons of flowers in bloom. Both got out and made their way to where Richard stood with a smile on his face.

“I see that you made it here okay”

“That we did” Lex said before Richard turned and started to lead the pair to where the wedding was going to be held.

“Wow” Clark said once he caught sight of the garden that he had described to the pair that stood next to him now.

“You like?” Both Richard and Lex said hoping that they had met the younger man's expectations on what the garden would look like.

“I love it” Clark said with a huge smile on his face, due to the beauty of the garden.

“Good, good” Richard said before then guiding the pair to where a medium sized man stood in minister robes.

“Lex, Clark I would like for you to meet Adam Sager, he will be your minister for the ceremony.” Richard said pointing out who Lex and Clark where for the other man.

“Clark, Lex; good to meet you” the man said a smile on his face that told the pair that the man didn't care that they were men getting married and that he also didn't care that Lex was ‘the Lex Luthor'.

“Well I think someone needs to get ready” the minister said with a laugh. Both Clark and Lex looked at each other and wondered if they wanted to change into their tuxes or if they just wanted to get married as is. Lex made the decision for them, by taking Clark 's hand and guiding him towards where they could both change.

“We'll be right back” Lex said before the door closed and he jumped on Clark . Seeing the minister made this all the more real for him.

“Hmmm, nice” Clark said his eyes closed while licking his lips.

“It will be even nicer when we are both naked and you are my husband for life.” Lex said before kissing Clark once more and then breaking apart.

“I don't know how I am going to make it through the ceremony now” Clark said ready for Lex to take him to bed and make love to him all day and night.

“Oh you will” Lex said dressing in his tux that Clark had said made him look sexy.

“Get dressed will you” Lex said with a smirk on his face as he saw the lust and passion in Clark 's eyes as he caught site of him in his tux.

“ Clark ” Lex said before he snapped his fingers in front of the other man.

“Yeah?” Clark said dazed.

“Are you going to get ready sometime soon?”

“Uh, yeah” Clark said before blushing a bit and then getting dressed in his tux as well.

“Here let me help” Lex said taking the tie away from him and placing the tie around Clark 's neck and tying it.

“There” Lex said before stepping back and smiling at his soon-to-be husband.

“My love you look more beautiful than I have ever seen you” Lex said before kissing Clark lightly on the lips and then opening the door and walking the pair of them out into the garden where Richard stood with a camera at the ready taking pictures.

“Lex” Clark said squeezing the other's hand as he saw the camera; he had wanted no pictures of himself without any hair.

“It's fine Clark ” Lex said thinking that bringing the camera was a bad idea.

“Okay, if you say so” Clark said hoping that the camera wouldn't make him look weird or anything like that. They soon arrived to where the minister stood on a small dais and flower petals indicated where Clark and Lex where to stand. Moments later the minister began to speak and Clark and Lex tuned out the man while looking at each other speaking with their eyes.

“Clark Jerome Kent” the minister said making Clark turn his head.

“Do you take Alexander Jakob Luthor, to be you husband?”

“I do” Clark said with confidence and a huge smile on his face. They were one step closer to being married. The minister carried on, with Clark doing ‘I do' again where asked and then the minister turned to Lex.

“Alexander Jakob Luthor” Lex turned towards the man with tears in his eyes.

“Do you take Clark Jerome Kent as your husband?”

“I do” Lex said in a whisper, so only the minister and Clark could hear it. Clark beamed at Lex showing him that they would make it through the ceremony and would be soon bound for life. The minister when on in the same vein as he did with Clark and Lex of course spoke his second ‘I do' in the correct area.

“With the power invested in me, I know pronounce you partners in life or husband and husband.” The minister said with a smile on his face before he spoke his next words.

“I'm a bit old fashioned, so you may now kiss your husband” once the words were spoken Lex pulled Clark in for a kiss with Richard clicking away on the camera. Clark could only moan and laugh due to how giddy he felt, he was actually married to the man he loved and they were standing getting their picture taken as they kissed.

“Mine forever” Lex said in a whisper so that only Clark could hear, Clark just nodded his head in an agreement and kissed Lex lightly to let him know that he agreed.

“Turn towards the camera” Richard said clicking away with the digital camera that he had been given by Lex so that they could capture this moment for the both of them. Both Clark and Lex turned towards the camera with huge smiles on their faces due to knowing that they had finally been married after years of secret crushes and loves they were now, husband and husband. After Richard took picture upon picture of the pair, Clark began to want to walk around the grounds of the flower garden and look at all of the flower life that was in bloom at the moment.

“Ready to change?” Lex said knowing that Clark was ready to get out of his tux and back into the shorts and t-shirt he had wore to the flower garden.

“More than you know” Clark said pulling at his tie that seemed to be getting tighter and tighter as more and more people starting walking by the small area that had been roped off for them and the ceremony.

“ Clark ” Lex said watching Clark with a smile on his face at how uncomfortable Clark was with people seeing him in a tuxedo. He knew his husband hated being the center of attention and with the tux on he was definitely going to be the center of attention anywhere he went. Clark followed Lex while keeping an eye on the few women that managed to get a glimpse of him in his tux. Once they entered the room that they had changed their clothes in the first time, Lex slammed the door and attacked Clark .

“Lex” Clark moaned out as Lex began to unbutton the buttons on the shirt that Clark had on.

“Mine” Lex said into the crook of Clark 's neck, before he grabbed a fist full of fabric and ripped the jacket and shirt off of Clark , and began to map out the body that was on display before him. Clark moaned again and brought his hand to Lex's head that had managed to make it's way down to Clark 's belly button.

“Lex, please” Lex only smirked before pulling back and stopping, he knew that if he asked Clark what he wanted it would be for him to take the younger man right here and now, but he had planned out what their first encounter would be like and it did not involve ravishing Clark in the changing room at the flower garden.

“In time my love” Lex said patting at Clark 's stomach and making sure that the other man had come back down to earth, due to the dazed look on Clark 's face. Soon there after Clark and Lex redressed in the previous clothes with lightening speed, they wanted to be out and about together showing the world that they were together. Then again both of them were thinking that the sooner they got the after wedding activities that were to be the reception done, the quicker they could return home and to the bed that awaited the pair and their love making that was to following quickly after that.

“Ready” Lex asked Clark just before he opened the door and walked out to a waiting Richard.

“Richard, I want to thank you for taking care of this. I don't know what I would have done if things didn't go according to planned.” Lex said the older man with a smile on his face. He was so happy to be finally married to his love that he didn't know what he would have done if things had fallen apart on them.

“It was my pleasure Lex, you just make sure to send me a picture or two of yourself and Clark very soon so that I can put it up on the mantle where Liza can oh and ah over it.”

“I will” Lex said before giving the older man a hug and releasing him just as Clark walked out a smile on his face as he looked at the ring that was now placed on his finger. The black ring now had the second encompassing it with diamonds that glinted and told people just how much money the ring was worth on it's own.

“Ready to walk around” Lex said as Clark came closer.

“Yup”

“Well let's get going, this place is fairly large and it will take a while to see everything” Lex said getting excited at being able to spend the day with Clark , as his husband.

“Come on then” Clark said putting his hand in Lex's and then walking towards the small opening that the alcove had.

‘See you both back at the hotel” Richard yelled as he watched as Lex was dragged away by an almost bouncing Clark . Lex waved to Richard's words as he was focusing on not falling on his face. Hours later had the pair riding back in a car with happy grins on their faces. They had taken advantage of every possible shielded spot to get in a kiss or grope if possible. Lex wasn't sure if he would make it through dinner before he would ravish Clark , while Clark on the other hand hoped that Lex would take him as soon as they walked through the penthouse doors.

“Misters Luthor” the driver said bringing both Clark and Lex out of their thoughts.

“Yes” Lex answered for them, he liked the sound of Clark being a Luthor, but he thought that being a Kent would be even better.

“We have arrived at the hotel” the driver said before getting out of the car and then opening the back door where Clark and Lex sat. Lex got out first before taking Clark 's hand and helping the other man out of the car. While Clark was being helped out of the car, the driver opened up the trunk of the car and passed Lex the dress bags with the tuxes in them.

“Misters Luthor” the driver said handing the bags over to Lex and then eyeing Clark as if he was a piece of meat. Lex noticed and wrapped an arm possessively around Clark 's waist as they made their way into the hotel from the front entrance. It didn't matter now that the ceremony had occurred and they now could call themselves husband and husband. The driver noticed the move and got back into the car as quickly as possible to avoid the wrath of Lex Luthor, since it had been said that when a Luthor decided that revenge was necessary that they went all out. Lex smirked for a second before turning to Clark and kissing him lightly on the lips, it was then that he caught site of who he thought was Bobby Voss.

“Ready Clark” Lex asked watching the person out of the corner of his eye the whole time they made their way to the bank of elevators that would take them up to the penthouse, where they were staying. Once the pair arrived to the elevators the person that Lex had been watching, got on a cell phone and made a call. It seemed that things would not be going smoothly in the near future, Lex could only hope that the person really wasn't Bobby Voss and the person that he was calling was not Colette Douchet. Lex was broken out of his thoughts by the bell at the elevators signaling that the elevator had arrived to the lobby.

“Going up?” The bellman in the elevator asked the pair and a few others that had been waiting for the elevator. Most nodded their heads while both Clark and Lex just stepped on the elevator and waited for the bellman to ask what floor. Once all had loaded onto the elevator the bellman began asking and pushing floors for the guests.

“Floor?” the bellman asked Lex.

“Penthouse” Lex said in a tone that told the bellman to not ask the man next to him what floor.

“Yes sir” the bellman said figuring out that this was ‘the Lex Luthor' that most of the staff had been talking about since Lex's arrival to the hotel. Soon the elevator was in motion and the guests on the floors below the penthouse where being dropped off floor by floor.

“The penthouse” the bellman said as he stepped out to stop the elevator from closing on Lex and Clark as they exited the elevator.

“Thanks” Clark said to the guy once they were off the elevator and on the main receiving area for the penthouse. Neither Clark nor Lex noticed another person standing in said area until the elevator doors closed.

“Lex” a voice that Clark and Lex both had hoped not to hear in the near future said to the pair, or more specifically Lex.

“ Miss. Douchet” Lex said his voice as cold as a glacier.

“Lex don't be like that” Colette said as she sash-shayed her way over to where the pair was standing. Clark turned to Lex and gave him a look that told him that if the woman didn't leave soon, there would be hell to pay from Clark .

“ Miss. Douchet, would you kindly leave the floor” Lex said his voice telling all that could that if you didn't listen that there would be hell to pay later. Colette took this as her chance to blackmail Lex to get what she wanted.

“I don't think so Lex” Colette as she now stood next to Lex.

“Excuse me?” Lex asked wondering on if the woman standing next to him had any clue the peril that she was putting herself in.

“I said I don't think so, you are going to lose the ‘boy toy' and show me a good time and I won't tell the press about your little excursion here with the ‘boy'.” Colette said a nasty sneer on her face as she looked at Clark . Clark could only stand there in shock over the words that the woman spoke.

“Miss. Douchet I think you don't quite understand what you are doing, for if you go to the press about my self and Clark or any of our plans are released to the press by yourself, Bobby Voss or any employee at this hotel. You will not only have the hotel on your ass for breaking the contract you signed when you began here but you also have the contract you signed before you began to help in the planning of our wedding. Now I ask you Miss. Douchet, are you serious with your threat now?” Lex said a smirk on his face that told Clark that Colette Douchet wouldn't know what to do with herself once Lex was done with the woman. Colette looked into Lex's eyes and saw the truth and shear power that Lex had at his finger tips shine out, it made her falter.

“I…I….I'm sorry” Colette said before she pressed the down button to get out of Lex's sight as soon as possible. A moment later an elevator arrived and Colette jumped on with the destination of lobby on her lips. Both Clark and Lex watched as the elevator doors closed on Colette Douchet, in what they both hoped was the last time that they would see the woman. Once Lex was sure no one else was going to surprise them by coming out of the elevator he made his way towards the door to the penthouse.

“Lex” Clark said wrapping his arms about the other man for he could see the pure fury in Lex's eyes. He could only hope to distract Lex from getting revenge on the pair until later, for this night was their wedding night and Clark fully planned to not be a virgin any longer now that he was married to the love of his life. Lex relaxed into the large semi-tanned arms and let the anger flow out of him and into the air, for once he felt Clark on his back he knew that he had more important things to do then get revenge on Colette and Bobby. Lex turned in Clark 's arms and kissed Clark until they were both breathless, Lex kissing out the anger in his body while Clark sucked up all of the passion that Lex was giving.

“I think there is dinner and a bed waiting for us on the other side of this door.” Lex said his voice husky, which surprised the both of them. Clark could only moan at the tone in Lex's voice for it told him that he would soon be lying on his back screaming out Lex's name very soon. Soon after Clark 's moan Lex broke the embrace and made for the door a second time this time getting the door open and showing Clark the foyer and dinning room table that had been set up for a dinner for two. In the background music played softly making the scene even more amazing. Clark could help but laugh and cry at the same time for he didn't know what to think of it all. He knew that Lex had something up his sleeve he just didn't expect it to be this. Candles lighting their way to the table and the table itself made the room shimmer in a golden glow.

“Come” Lex said holding out his hand so that he could walk Clark to the table. Clark placed his hand in Lex's and moved with the other man towards the table. Once they arrived Lex pulled out Clark 's chair and Clark took a seat while Lex just watched with love in his eyes and a smile on his face. The look made Clark gasp for he had never seen Lex look so amazing before now, he knew that Lex was beautiful as he had always thought that but seeing him now in the golden glow of the candles, it made Clark realize just how amazing Lex really was.

“Love you” Clark said before Lex could move away from you.

“And I love you” Lex said before bending down and kissing Clark one more time and then moving to his chair. Soon both Clark and Lex were eating and talking about what they had seen at the flower garden when a song came on that made Lex stop his speaking.

“Do you care to dance?” Lex said hoping that Clark would agree since he had picked out the song specifically for them.

“Of course, you only need to ask” Clark said as he got up and made his way to the foyer where the music seemed to come from. Lex followed quickly behind and then pulled Clark to him and they began to sway together listening to the words and the beat of the music. It was a moment later that Lex decided to whisper into Clark 's ear.

“This is our song for I am lost without you Clark, I hope you understand that” Lex said before kissing Clark's ear and leaning his head on the younger man's shoulder wanting, no needing to feel the other's body against his. Clark then listened even better to the words and found that he felt the same way about the words that were being sung by the man in the song.

“I know Lex, I know for I too am lost without you. You don't know how close I came to just giving up and letting the cancer kill me. If you weren't in my life I didn't see a reason to continue on.” Clark said choked up about admitting how close he came to giving up his life due to Lex not being a major component as he had been in the past before Desiree Atkins. Lex's head shot up and he looked into his now husband's eyes and saw the truth behinds the words. He now knew how much the whole Desiree Atkins situation had affected Clark . Lex thanked very god that he knew that he came to his senses about the woman before Clark was truly able to give up hope on getting better or even speaking with him.

“Never again” Lex said before kissing Clark breathless again and as they broke apart the song finished up and Lex grabbed Clark 's hand and led him to the bedroom where there were flowers all over the room and candles lighting their way to the bed. Inside the room the song they had just danced to played again much softer than out in the foyer. Lex started to sway to the music with Clark yet again but both of them had their hand roaming over the others body. Soon Clark began to unbutton Lex's shirt while Lex ran his hands over Clark 's back under the t-shirt that he wore.

“Take it off Clark ” Lex whispered and then watched as Clark brought the shirt over his head and off of his chest leaving Lex to admire the beauty that was his husband. He had seen Clark 's chest multiple times but for some reason seeing it now in the golden glow of the candles made Lex hard to see more. Clark then took off Lex's shirt and they began to sway chest to chest now, while listening to the music yet again. It was during a part of a song that changed tempo that Lex decided to do something to his dance moves which he hoped would get Clark hard for him. With that thought in mind Lex swiveled his hips grinding his cock against Clark's and then pulling back, Clark moaned as he felt the change and began to pull at his pants to get naked.

“Mine” Lex said pulling Clark 's hands away from his pants and placing them on the tops of his own pants and belt. Both then worked in silence divesting the other of the pants and boxers that were underneath.

“My love you are amazing” Lex said taking in Clark completely naked in the candle light.

“So are you Lex” Clark said before pulling Lex into another kiss. It seemed that Clark couldn't get enough of Lex and his kisses, which Lex found to be a very good thing. Once they broke Clark began to run his hands up and down Lex's body telling the other man that he was ready for the pair to make love for the first time in their long life, or at least that was what Lex hoped. Clark moaned and moved his body as close to Lex as he could and began to grind his cock against Lex's thigh.

“More?” Lex asked Clark as he walked the younger man back toward where the bed was in the room. Clark just nodded his head and then moaned out again with Lex's name on his lips. Lex shuttered at the sound of his name on Clark 's lips and in the throws of passion. Lex soon had Clark backed up against the bed which made the other man fall back on the bed and spread out his body for Lex to feast upon.

time to move things forward a bit more. Lex rolled to the side with Clark groaning at the loss of the body heat that they had made together.

“Hold on” Lex said and then rolled back with a tube of lube in his hands. Clark opened his eyes when the heat returned and noticed the smile on Lex's face as he looked at the lube in his hands.

“Now Clark it's going to be cool for a minute but it will warm up okay?” Lex said worried that he was moving too fast for the younger man. Clark could only nod his head in response due to the giggles that were about to break free from this throat. It wasn't every day that you lost your virginity to the love of your life and who just happen to be your husband as well.

“Good” Lex said before putting some lube on his fingers and trying to let the gel warm up a bit before he placed his fingers at Clark 's hole. Soon it became too much and Lex brought his finger to Clark clef and ran the finger down until it reached Clark's hole, all the while Clark was shuttering under Lex's ministrations.

“More” Clark moaned out once the finger began to play with his hole, he wanted all of Lex in him and he didn't know how long he would be able to hold out before exploding. Lex nodded his head and breached Clark 's hole for the first time. Clark screamed out at the feeling and began to babble in a different language for more, it was a lucky thing that Lex knew some of the languages for he was worried that he had done something wrong and didn't know if he should continue or stop. With the words spilling from Clark 's mouth Lex began to move the finger in and out of the Clark all the while kissing and speaking to the other man in the different languages that he knew. This seemed to drive Clark wild for soon they were both babbling to each other in the same language for more. Lex then added a second finger and soon a third to make sure that Clark was stretched enough for him not to hurt the other man.

“Lex” Clark whined out as Lex pulled his fingers from Clark . Lex only laughed and then placed the head of his now slicked cock at Clark 's entrance.

“Hmmmmm” Clark said as he felt the blunt head of Lex's cock. Clark knew that this was going to be the most amazing night ever, so he just laid back and relaxed while Lex worked his cock into his body.

“Oh Gods” Lex mumbled into Clark's neck as he placed kisses there to calm himself down a bit, so as to not ravish Clark too much too soon. Clark on the other hand, had other plans and he began to clench his muscles about Lex's cock which brought the other to scream out at the pleasure.

“Are you trying to kill me Clark?” Lex asked as he began to pump into the other with bit of roughness in each stroke.

“No, I was trying to get you to…..” Clark started out only to end up screaming out Lex's name when the other man grazed his prostate with his cock. Lex smiled and then laughed as he saw that Clark was in another world literally. Lex soon picked up the pace a bit more and began to swivel his hips with each thrust, trying to give as much pleasure to his husband as he could while trying to hold out as long as he could. A hand on his shoulder brought him out of his daze and looking into the eyes of Clark .

“So close” Clark whispered before he brought Lex down and into a kiss that had the both of them screaming their orgasm into the mouth of the other, making the moment the most amazing thing that Lex had experienced in his long sex life; he was instantly addicted to pleasure that was running through his body. It was unlike anything he had ever experienced in his life and he couldn't wait to experience again and he hoped fairly soon.

“Wow” was all that Clark could say before running his hands up and down Lex's back.

“I must agree” came the muffled reply from the crook of Clark 's neck from Lex. Clark just laughed and rolled the pair of them over so that Lex was on his back now.

“I think a shower is in order, don't you think?” Clark asked before jumping up and moving towards the bathroom.

“Hey come back here” Lex yelled to the now moving Clark as he lay sprawled out on the bed.

“Make me” Clark said a smile on his face to let Lex know that it wouldn't take much for him to come back to bed and another bout of love making. Lex smirked before speaking the next words.

“Come back to me my love, for I have plenty to teach you” it was after the words were spoken that Lex sprawled out even more, which made Clark 's eyes roam over his body and moan out due to the shear sexiness his husband was exuding. Clark's eyes watched hungrily as Lex stretched a bit to get Clark to come closer and closer Clark did come for he was so intent in his quest of devouring Lex's body with his eyes that he didn't realize he was moving until he was kissing Lex with passion.

“Well hello” Lex said with a smirk on his face, glad that his plan had worked.

“Hello to you too” Clark said before kissing Lex again and then working his way to Lex's thin hips that always drove Clark crazy, either by the movement said hips made or by the mere thought of what connected to said hips.

“More” Clark said knowing that Lex would understand the words that were not being spoken by him. This was his first time after all and he didn't want to hurt Lex but he too wanted to be inside his husband.

“Get the lube Clark ” Lex said happy that Clark wasn't going to just back down and allow him all of the control. It was one thing to be with someone for power but with Clark it was for love and he wanted Clark to experience everything before he made decision on his role in the relationship. Lex was soon telling Clark what do so the younger man would not hurt him. He was never a fan of pain with his pleasure and he planned to make sure Clark never experienced that kind of thing with him.

“Lex I don't want to hurt you” Clark said worried that his hands would hurt Lex even though Lex told him that he trusted Clark .

“ Clark its okay, of course it will sting for a bit like it did with you. I haven't done this with anyone else in a long time, so it will burn a bit but I will let you know if I start to hurt in any way. Okay?” Lex said trying to reassure his husband that things would be just fine.

“Okay, promise to tell me if I hurt you though, right?”

“Of course, now get to it” Lex said kissing Clark on the shoulder as he brought his upper body up to sort of meet that of Clark's. Clark felt the kiss and felt much better at doing what Lex had told him to do. Clark first ran his fingers over Lex's ass hoping to get a reaction out of the other man, and if the yell that came out of Lex's mouth was any indication, Clark had done something right.

“More” Clark questioned Lex getting a glare in return when his fingers stopped moving around his hole. Once Clark caught sight of the glare he laughed and then pressed his figure into Lex's hole. A moan broke through Lex's lips which drove Clark to move the finger back and forth a couple of times before Lex jerked his hips to signal Clark to add another finger. Clark added another finger and slowly brought the now two fingers out and in Lex's body. Lex shuttered under Clark 's slow ministrations on his body, due to the amount of moaning that both were doing Lex never noticed the third finger enter his body until the burn that came along with the extra finger began. This set Lex on fire, for he grabbed Clark 's shoulder and kissed the other man as if he was a piece of sweet fruit or chocolate that just couldn't be resisted. Clark just moaned while dragging out this three fingers leaving Lex feeling the emptiness that came with the fingers leaving his body. Thoughts of past experiences ran through his mind but he was broke out of his thoughts be the blunt head of Clark 's cock.

“You're huge” Lex said just now noticing how large Clark really was compared to past lovers that he had been with. Clark only shook his head and blushed at Lex's comment. He didn't know what to say to Lex's words for he was so used to always getting ridiculed about his size and age for being a sophomore in high school.

“Is that a bad thing?” Clark asked worried that Lex wouldn't allow him to take the older man now.

“No Clark that is a very good thing in my book, a very good thing.” Lex said reassuring his husband that his size wouldn't be a problem for him, even though he was a bit worried.

“Are you sure?” Clark asked not wanting to hurt the other man if he didn't have to.

“Clark” Lex said looking up to the younger man, he now knew that Clark wasn't too sure about taking him and he had to make it clear that it didn't matter to him, that he would love the younger man no matter what positions they took in the bedroom.

“ Clark , listen to me. If you don't want to do this now we can wait for I want you comfortable with this.” Lex said while running his hand down the other's face. Clark just nodded his head and then began to slowly enter Lex. Lex gasped at the intrusion but then began to kiss Clark as if it was his last chance to do so.

“Amazing” Lex said once they broke apart and Clark was full sheathed inside of Lex. Lex was in a daze due to the amazing feeling he was having with Clark inside of him. The last time that someone had topped him, it had been a form of punishment from his father for not getting an account for LuthorCorp on his own when he was but at the mere age of seventeen. His father's business associate had been less than careful when he got a hold of Lex, and Lex had vowed never again to be taken unless it was with the love of his life, which Clark was. Lex was amazed that he was scared of what was to come, for he knew that Clark would never ever use sex as a weapon against him and also that Clark loved him more than any one on this Earth which set his mind at ease.

“Lex, you okay?” Clark asked worried due to the look on Lex's face.

“I'm just fine, now move” Lex said squeezing his muscles around Clark's cock making the younger man scream out and bite Lex's neck before pulling the older man into a kiss.

“Move” Lex said against Clark 's lips. His words seemed to have finally registered in Clark 's brain because soon the younger man was pulling almost all the way out and sliding back in hitting Lex's prostate in the process.

“ Clark !” Lex screamed out in pleasure for it had been a very long time since he had this much pleasure running through his body. Lex's words seemed to drive Clark on even more, for he pulled out again and pressed back in with a groan due to the look on Lex's face at him pumping into the older man. The pace soon picked up with Clark and Lex kissing at intervals that it seemed their bodies were the closest together.

“ Clark , love you!” Lex screamed out as he orgasmed with his seed spilling on their bodies.

“Lex” Clark groaned out before leaning a bit on top of Lex. Both laid together for a moment before Clark rolled off of Lex so that the other man could breathe.

something to due with it being Clark and the love of his life but even then something just felt right when he was with a man more so than when he was with women.

“You okay?” Clark asked worried even though Lex had said that it was amazing.

“I'm fine Clark ” Lex said with a smile on his face. His husband could be so caring that it was amazing to think that most of the teen population found the young man unappealing. Lex thought Clark was the most beautiful person out there and that if the people of Smallville couldn't see that then it was their loss and his gain. Clark looked into his love's eyes and saw the truth that Lex was fine and if Clark looked just a bit harder he could see that Lex was thinking of something that was making him as pleased as a cat that caught the canary.

“What you thinking about over there?” Clark asked as he moved over to rest his head on Lex's now semi-dry chest.

“You and lets clean up before we become stuck together” Lex said before getting out of bed and walking into the bathroom to get a wet washcloth to clean them both off. Lex walked across the bedroom floor a few moments later with a white washcloth in his hand intent on washing off Clark .

“Lex” Clark giggled out as Lex began to clean off his chest and torso. Lex looked up and smiled before running his hands over Clark 's abs that hadn't faded even with his lack of exercise that he got with doing chores on the farm.

“I don't think I could go another round” Clark moaned out to Lex, it was then that Lex noticed just how tired Clark really looked and he was soon wiping himself down so that they could both lay down and sleep for the night.

“ Clark ” Lex said worried that he had over done things with the younger man.

“I'm just fine, tired is all. That last time was amazing and took a lot out of me but I think a good night's rest and I shall be fine in the morning.” Clark said with a tired smile on his face to let Lex know that he was just fine if only a little tired.

“Clark” Lex said his tone warning the younger man that if he was lying to Lex that there would be hell to pay later.

“I'm fine really” Clark said knowing that Lex wouldn't stop worrying until after they got up tomorrow morning and found a refreshed Clark in bed with him. Lex nodded his head and then made his way to the bathroom to put the wet washcloth up for the maids to get in the morning. When Lex came back to the bedroom it was to see that Clark had managed to pull the covers back and get under them as well as open the French doors so that they could hear the waves crashing below as they did the night before.

“ Clark ” Lex said standing near the French doors looking out into the Pacific Ocean .

“Yeah Lex” Clark said before Lex heard a squeak from the bed notifying him that Clark was coming towards him. Lex soon felt long thick arms incase his waist.

“I want to thank you for loving me” Lex started out only to be cut off by Clark; for Clark knew what Lex was going to say and he was not going to have his husband putting himself down as not worthy all because his father told him that he wasn't worthy.

“Lex stop right there, for you have no need to thank me for loving you. Who couldn't love you Lex? And if you say your father, he doesn't for he only sees his son taking a road that he didn't plan out for you. I know it is hard for you since most people either see Alexander Luthor or Lionel Luthor's son in you, but Lex I see you. I see the person that loves Warrior Angel, science, math, ancient Rome and Greece, I see that Lex not the Lex that you present to the world as a ‘Luthor' for that Lex is only a part of you and I love that part as well. Lex you are one of the most amazing people on this planet and if people's views of you are skewed by what a newspaper writes or who your father is then it is their loss for having you as a friend is amazing thing. Having you for a husband is even better, for you will do everything in your power to please the ones you love, which makes you even more amazing.” Clark said kissing Lex's neck all the while wondering if his words were sinking into the other's brain.

“ Clark you don't understand” Lex started out to say but was stopped yet again by Clark .

“I do understand Lex, I do. Just listen to me for a minute, okay?” Clark asked hoping that he could explain just how amazing a man Lex really was.

“Lex, loving you came easy for me because there was just something about you that pulled me to you. It wasn't your money or your father as you well know, it was you the real you the one that smiles that quirky little smile when you are about to beat me at pool or video games or even at Trivia Pursuit. I love the Lex, whose eyes light up at the mention of history. I love the Lex that takes time out of his busy schedule to relax and talk to a high school sophomore just for fun even though there is a pile of work sitting on the desk to be done. Lex don't you understand that I love you for you and not for what you could or will become? If that was the case, I would have given up a long time ago but I didn't for I was willing to fight for the Lex that I saw every day that Lex that I plan to grow old with. The Lex you become when your father is around is a Lex that Lionel Luthor formed; it is a part of you but a part that isn't really you. I know you Lex, and I see how unhappy and angry you become when your father is in town and it shouldn't be that way for you are so much more than Lionel Luthor's son. You are the love of my life and the most amazing person that I know.” Clark said with tears running down his face. He always hated when Lex would start to put himself down because of his father, but he just didn't know how to reach the other man without some sort of intervention. Clark kissed the side of Lex's neck and noticed that Lex was crying as well.

“Lex?”

“I'm okay Clark , just…just” Lex said before turning in the embrace and kissing Clark as if his life depended on it.

“Thank you” Lex panted out after they broke apart.

“No thanks needed” Clark said a huge smile on his face due to Lex's words for he knew now that Lex had heard his words and had taken them to heart.

“My love you are something else” Lex said that quirky smile on his face that made Clark melt.

“You think?” Clark joked before tightening his hold on the other man and laughing.

“I know” Lex said before wrapping his arms around Clark 's neck and then wrapping his legs around Clark 's waist.

“I'm not too heavy for you?” Lex asked wondering if what he had done was a good idea.

“If I said yes, would you think I was trying to say you are fat?” Clark said laughing and walking towards the bed. Lex's weight felt right on him and he didn't know how he was going to get the other man to hang off of him in the future with out telling him. Lex only laughed for he knew that Clark didn't think he was fat or anything like that in fact he could tell that the younger man liked his weight hanging off of him.

“I might” Lex said in response before laughing again and then kissing Clark as they arrived to the bed.

“Sleep now” Lex said as he was placed on the bed while Clark crawled up and over his body.

“Sleep I can do” Clark said before he lay down naked with only a sheet covering him. Lex watched for a moment and then crawled his way like a tiger up the bed and to the spot that was still warm from their love making to lie down. Once Lex was situated Clark moved over to lay his head on Lex's chest yet again this list for the rest of the night.

“Love you Lex” Clark said with a yawn, and he was soon fast asleep so he didn't hear Lex's words to him.

“And I love you Clark , for you are my life as you have been for the past two years.” Once Lex finished he kissed Clark 's forehead and soon fell asleep to the waves that crashed outside their open French doors.
