Chapter 1

LPOV

Don't do it, Lois! If you smoke that cigarette, you'll hate yourself for the rest of the night and then you'll want to smoke another one to make you feel better. The vicious cycle will never end if you start it. It's not like you need it, anyways. Just take deep breaths and release them, and then realize that the damn corn is not going to kill you…

Well, no shit, Sherlock! I knew the corn wasn't going to kill me, but that didn't mean an alien wasn't going to pop out of nowhere. Did it? Fuck my life! I was now arguing with myself. It had to be this stupid, stupid town.

Chloe had always said this town had a few screws loose, but I didn't realize just passing through this shit-hole was going to make me start acting like a nut job, too. She did say the meteors were what was causing the weird things to happen. I just hoped I could find her killer and learn more about all this stupid shit. I wiped a tear and sighed. I wouldn't have cared about having to sit and listen to her go on and on about the freaks in this town, if it meant she was still alive to tell me all about them herself.

She was the only reason I was even in this place to begin with. If she hadn't decided to do the right thing and ended up getting herself killed trying to help get Lionel Luthor locked up in prison for the rest of his unnatural life, then she would have still been here, boring me to death about stupid shit.

That was not entirely true, though. She did tell me about this guy, Clark Kent, that lived out on a farm somewhere around here. He sounded like an okay person. Apparently, he had saved my cousin's life more than once. The only downside to this guy was he sounded like a total masochist. Pining away for the girl-next-door that sounded like a bitch to me, but what did I know? I had never met these people. I was trying to change that.

In the last e-mail Chloe had sent me, she had said that if anything happened to her, I should find Clark Kent and he would be able to help me. I didn't know what a farm boy from Nowheresville was going to be able to do, but I had to trust that she knew what she was talking about.

Okay, where was this farm? It had to be around here somewhere. Well, of course it had to be somewhere, genius; it couldn't be nowhere. I seriously had to hurry up and figure this out and get the hell out of here before I went completely insane. I didn't know if it was the town, searching for my dead cousin's killer, or something else; but I just felt like something big was about to happen and I was powerless to stop it.

Just as I was picking up my cell phone to try and get directions, again, a huge bolt of lightning hit the road right in front of my car. I swerved to the right, which in reality wasn't a good idea, and plowed my new Camaro into a damn corn field. I finally slammed on the brakes to keep from damaging my car any further. I stepped out of the car and realized the field was muddy and my car was now stuck. Super! There was no way I was getting out without a tow truck. Pulling my phone out of my pocket, I was about to call "AAA" when another bolt of lightning hit right in front of me again.

This was getting ridiculous! There weren't even any clouds in the sky tonight. I looked at the spot in front of me and was astounded by what I saw. There was a perfect circle with many small fires everywhere, but the most bizarre thing was what was in the middle of it all. It looked like a man. Taking a step closer to see if I could help him, he started to move.

He was lying on his stomach, and even with him lying down, I could see that he was fairly tall and muscular. He stiffly raised his right arm and then his left, putting them on the ground in front of him, almost as if he was going to do a push-up. He cracked his neck once and then promptly jumped up, standing to his full height. Holy shit, his full height was impressive! He had to have been at least six-foot-four and easily two hundred twenty-five pounds of pure muscle.

Not only was he now standing to his full height, but another part of his anatomy was standing at attention as well, and it was quite substantial. He was naked, completely naked! Wow, he had a very nice body!

Okay, Lane, you can do this. Look at his eyes and talk to his face, don't look down.

"Umm...are you alright? Can I take you to the hospital or somewhere? Maybe find you some clothes to put on?" I didn't really mind if he stayed naked, but I figured it was the polite thing to offer.

"I am fine."

That was it? He had just gotten hit by lightning, I think. All he could say was that he was fine, and in a really dull monotone voice no less.

"Alright, I think I have a blanket in the car. Let me get that for you and you can put it around you to cover up." Quickly turning around, I reached for the door handle when a much larger hand wrapped around mine, stopping my movement. Startled, I turn around abruptly, coming face to chest with the man. I looked up into his eyes and saw the most serious expression on his face. It was almost as if he was trying to figure something out.

I was going to have to come back to that later, though, because right now there were warm tingles shooting throughout my whole body and I didn't know where the hell they were coming from. The serious expression on his face morphed into one of total and complete bliss right before my eyes. Just as I was about to ask him what he was doing and thinking, he leaned down and captured my lips.

I was too stunned to react at first, but that didn't last long. I got swept up in the amazing feel of his mouth on mine. Opening my mouth just a tiny bit to get more oxygen, he slowly slipped his tongue inside. Holy shit, that felt amazing!

I had been kissed before, but never like this. This was the most passionate kiss I could ever imagine times a million. It felt like my whole body was on fire. He moved his hands up my arms and to the back of my head, pulling me closer. I was unsure of where to put my hands, so keeping them pressed to the car door behind me seemed like a good idea for now, but he had other ideas.

Taking his hands off of my neck, he ran them back down my arms and grabbed my hands. Slowly, he broke the kiss and backed away, leaving me standing there panting. All I could do was try to catch my breath. Where the hell did that come from and when could we do it again? No! I had just met him, I couldn't be thinking about doing that with him again. In fact, I should have been more pissed off that he had kissed me like that.

"What the hell was that for? Did I give you some sort of signal that said to kiss me without asking first?"

"What is your name?" he asked. That was all he had to say?

"Lois. Lois Lane. Would you mind telling me your name so I know who I'm about to slap?" Alright, so apparently I really was pretty pissed off after all.

"I am Kal-El, and you, Lois Lane, are mine." He said it so matter-of-factly, like what he had just said wasn't completely insane. Since when was I a possession? His?

"What the hell do you mean 'I'm yours'?" I said through gritted teeth. I was surprised I could even get that much out without screaming.

"You are my mate, Lois Lane. I will tell you all in good time, but for now, I need you. After we have bonded, you will be mine, as I will be yours. You will stand by my side forever, as my wife."

Yep! This guy was totally off his rocker. I definitely needed to get him to the hospital now.

"I am sure you are questioning my sanity at the moment, Miss Lane, but I assure you, I am completely fine. There is nothing wrong with my higher brain function. In fact, my brain function is much more advanced than any species Earth has to offer," he stated calmly. I was sure he believed the bullshit he was spewing, but I was going to I need some proof first.

"Okay, let's say for a minute that I actually am your mate and you are smarter than any being on Earth; does that make you an alien?" Oh, my god! I knew an alien was going to come out of the corn field for me tonight, I just knew it!

"According to the terminology of your planet, yes, I would be considered an alien. I can tell from the quizzical way you are looking at me that I am going to have to prove this to you. I will promise you now that I will never hurt you and will always take care of you. Will you come with me and let me show you something?" Kal-El asked. He just didn't seem like the kind of person, or alien, to actually ask someone to do something.

Looking deep into his eyes, I saw something flicker there for a moment, but I wasn't sure exactly what it was. I could tell, though, that if he had wanted to hurt me or force me to do something against my will, I would be powerless to stop it. For some strange reason, I got the sense that I could trust this man. I had never been one to back down from a challenge and I would not start now. I steeled myself before answering.

"Yes, I'll go with you."

Stepping back closer to me, he quickly wound his arms around my lower back and instructed me to put mine around his neck.

"Hang on, Miss Lane, and don't worry, I will never let you go."

Before I could ask what he meant by that, we were leaving solid ground and soaring up into the starry night sky. I tightened my hold on him, terrified. How was this possible? It wasn't!

When I finally found my voice, I didn't know where to start. There were so many questions I wanted to ask him, but I was too busy looking around in wonderment. Things like this just weren't possible.

"I have so many questions to ask you. I don't even know where to begin. But before we start talking, can we go back to my car and get it out of the mud and then go somewhere a little warmer? The cold air doesn't seem to be bothering you, but I'm starting to get really cold up here."

"That is perfectly acceptable, Lois. We will go somewhere private to speak and then we will consummate our bond, binding us together forever."

Um, did he say…consummate?
