... and throw away the oars, forever...

ooc: follows this conversation with Dean

Leaving his brother, Sam made his way over to Lana's. It was weird, knowing that he was going over to her place and planning on really admitting how he felt. Especially after they had fought about him denying this to her. His fears because no matter what happened between them, she was still going to be giving birth to his brother's child.

It still hurt his head to think about this. It was like some really bad soap opera script, but without Dr. Sexy and his cowboy boots to make everything better before the next drama started.

But he liked Lana. He really did, and he enjoyed spending time with her. It was obvious to all of them apparently that there was something between him and her. It was only his fears, apparently, that had held them back. And now Dean was almost literally kicking his ass about it.

Almost like Dean was giving Sam his blessing. Which, again... weird.

He had no idea where this was going to go. It could all go terribly wrong and maybe they weren't meant to have this. She might hate him once they started dating. He might end up hating her. But he didn't know, and to find out meant he needed to get rid of that barrier he had put up between them.

Well, the first thing he had to do was knock on her door. Which he did, leaning in the doorway and waiting for her to answer so he could apologize for being an ass and figure out what they were going to do next.

Lana really didn't understand what Sam's problem was. Yes, it was an odd situation, a complicated situation, but since when had life ever been anything else, for either of them? The way he just kept saying how they felt didn't matter all because of one night she didn't even remember made her want to strangle him. Or punch him in the face, or kick him in the--well, maybe she was a little hormonal, but that didn't mean this wouldn't have been frustrating otherwise.

When the knock came and she opened the door, that was exactly where her mood swung.

[likely_evil]

He was leaning over and looked up at her when the door opened. Conflicting emotions were the norm with Sam in almost everything he did, so that really wasn't new.

But when he looked at her, he knew that he wanted her. He wanted to see where this was going to take them. And he knew if he spoke he was going to screw it all up.

So instead he just stood up, looked her in the eye, then let one hand drift to the back of her neck and hold her there while he leaned back down to kiss her possessively. Because it was the only way he knew to tell her how much he wanted her and that he was willing to take this road if she still wanted him to.

[manorsuperman]

Lana went from pissed to surprised to extremely horny in the course of two seconds, maybe less. She grabbed hold of his jacket with both hands and returned the kiss just as fiercely, a soft growl coming from somewhere in the back of her throat.

[likely_evil]

His heart soared at her response. She could have pulled away and slapped him hard. Or kicked him in a very sensitive spot. But she didn't and instead he let her pull him inside, kicking the door shut behind him as his arms wrapped around her, keeping her tight and close to him.

[manorsuperman]

Lana kissed him, hands grasping at his shoulders, taking an occasional nip at his lips, until she absolutely had to break away. She looked up at him, panting, eyes filled with desire.

[likely_evil]

He looked down at her, a hand going through her hair. "I'm sorry," he panted, then leaned down to kiss her shoulder. "I was an idiot. I'm sorry I hurt you. I'm sorry I made you cry. And I'm sorry it took me so long to come to my senses and appreciate what we could have and making excuses not to give myself to you."

[manorsuperman]

Lana didn't know how to respond to that. It was everything she wanted to hear and now that he'd said it, it was this huge weight lifted off her shoulders. She just put a hand to his cheek and smiled up at him.

[likely_evil]

He lowered his eyes, holding onto her hand. "Please forgive me."

[manorsuperman]

Her eyes started to water a bit. "Of course I do."

[likely_evil]

"I was stupid. I know that now."

He squeezed her hand.

[manorsuperman]

"It's okay, Sam. It doesn't matter anymore."

[likely_evil]

"I'm here now. That's what matters," he said softly. "For you."

[manorsuperman]

Her lip quivered as she tried very, very hard not to cry. She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out.

[likely_evil]

He saw that and tilted her head up so that he could kiss her again.

[manorsuperman]

She returned it, more tenderly this time, wrapping her arms around him.

[likely_evil]

He grinned in the kiss and separated a moment to lean down and pick her up in his arms, grinning as he then carried her further into her home.

"So where do you want me to take you?" he asked, smiling at her. There was the living room where they could sit, talk, snuggle and watch a movie. The kitchen, or the bedroom, where they could talk a bit more intimately.

Something that Sam had wanted to do with her for awhile but had held back out of respect. Something he knew he could have now if she wanted to.

[manorsuperman]

Lana suddenly felt like a bride, and in a much better kind of way than version Luthor. She was hard pressed not to squeak with joy.

"That's a bit of a loaded question, don't you think?"

[likely_evil]

"I know. But it's your choice, Lana. You tell me what you want, and from now on I promise I'll do my best to give it to you."

[manorsuperman]

She nodded, giving it some thought.

"How about we start with a movie?"

[likely_evil]

He nodded. "Works for me." And he carried her into the livingroom, setting her down on the couch in all the pillows and went over to the entertainment center to look through the dvd's.

[manorsuperman]

Lana watched him as he looked through the choices. Her eyes wandered over his body, despite her intention to take things slow. "How do you feel about Serendipity?" She paused as it occurred to her how that could be taken. "The movie, I mean."

[likely_evil]

"Never heard of it. Is it a chick flick?"

[manorsuperman]

"Pretty much."

[likely_evil]

Sam shrugged and got the dvd, put it in and then walked back to where Lana was on the couch, sitting next to her as he handed her the control.

[manorsuperman]

She took the control, smiling at him. And maybe forgetting why she even had it. Just staring at him...

[likely_evil]

... "Do I have something on my face?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at her staring.

[manorsuperman]

Lana blinked. "What?" And then a blush, shaking her head. "No, no...you don't."

[likely_evil]

He smiled and leaned closer, not asking but instead just kissing her. "You're beautiful when you blush."

[manorsuperman]

That just made her blush more. She was used to hearing compliments like that, but it was different when he said it.

[likely_evil]

He kissed her a moment longer, then sat back and just smiled at her before shifting on the couch so that she could lean up against him if she wanted to.

[manorsuperman]

She bit her lip before she leaned against him. "Ya know, now that we're sitting here, I'm not sure I really want to watch the movie."

[likely_evil]

He wrapped his arms around her to keep her close. "Well, what do you want to do?"

[manorsuperman]

Her mind went all kinds of places, none of which she wanted to mention.

A hand stroke absentmindedly at his side. "I could just sit here."

[likely_evil]

He kinda got the clue and smiled a bit, leaning down to kiss her forehead. "That works."

[manorsuperman]

Lana switched off the electronics and set the remote aside, then snuggled even closer to Sam. She tried to just sit there, like she said she wanted to, but the impulse was too strong. She grabbed hold of his shirt and pulled him down into another kiss, a harder one, and shifted herself into his lap.

hello icon is that actually them?

[likely_evil]

He was a bit surprised at that, but he wasn't complaining. FAR from complaining and even helped her get comfortable in his lap as he kept kissing her.

lol, you like it? It's from the Smallville episode Relic.

[manorsuperman]

She wrapped her arms around him, pressing as close as she could. She kissed him until she needed to catch her breath, trailing a few down to his neck before resting her head there.

[likely_evil]

He leaned his head against hers and just ran his hand through her hair gently.

"I can't believe all the time I wasted when we could have had this..." he said softly.

[manorsuperman]

Lana closed her eyes, enjoying the closeness and the feeling of his touch.

"Yeah," she said softly. "Don't do that again."

[likely_evil]

"I won't."

[manorsuperman]

She was quiet for few moments. This was great, but...there were things that needed to be addressed.

"Sam, um...I don't mind us starting a relationship right now, but there are...certain things I'd rather save until after the baby's born."

[likely_evil]

He nodded, looking away a moment before he spoke. "I understand."

[manorsuperman]

"Not everything," she added quickly. "Just...the main thing."

Boy, this was more awkward than she would have liked.

[likely_evil]

Sam rubbed the back of his neck.

"No offense, Lana... but I don't think I'd be that comfortable either."

Having sex with the woman who was carrying your brother's baby just was not kosher.

[manorsuperman]

"Right." She was hoping for something, but this was fine. "At least I know you'll stop me if I lose control of myself, right?"

[likely_evil]

"I'll try at least," he chuckled.

[manorsuperman]

She smiled at him, just looking into his eyes for a few moments before she spoke the words she'd been dying to say for what seemed like forever.

"I love you, Sam."

[likely_evil]

He bit his lip a moment. Love was a strong word, and he wasn't sure he was just there yet. Hell, they had been dancing around so long because of dean he had made himself determined not to hit that step.

But rather than say anything that might upset the beautiful and pregnant woman in his arms, he just leaned down and kissed her again.

[manorsuperman]

His reaction made her worry for a second, but as soon as he kissed her, the worry disappeared. She returned it eagerly, hand moving through his hair and pulling his head in closer.
