It was astounding how tested his self-control became in the week of Amity's absence. The world turned, life continued, and Clark did everything he was supposed to, but he missed her. He missed talking to her, and hanging out with her, and kissing her, and touching her, and sinking his head between her legs because she reeked of need...
And, well. Needless to say, when she texted him she was finally home maybe he was little too excited.
In his defence, he did a few responsible things first, like taking Krypto out to pee and scheduling a couple of e-mails. But when he was fast by nature, all his chores were done quick, and by the time he got to Amity's place he could clearly hear her shower was still running.
The polite thing to do would be to wait until she was decent. After a week long operation, Amity deserved this time to make herself feel human again. But as he locked her front door behind him and took in a breath-- there was her scent, and there was that strawberry lemonade body wash, and God he could hear her heart pounding just standing in her living room-- Clark only missed her all the more.
Amity was here. Amity was home. They were alone, and nobody had any obligations, and Amity was naked in the shower...
So Clark, eager and just this side of needy, steeled himself and made his way to the bathroom. If he couldn't be near her he might just explode, and if Amity didn't want him around he was sure she'd say so.
He was swift as much as he was silent, moving through her home, opening the door, and stepping in. The steam from the shower made the air heavy and damp, but Clark's heart fluttered all the same at the sight of Amity's silhouette behind the curtain. His glasses were set aside, his shirt tugged up over his head, and his pants undone to pool onto the floor. He thought, however briefly, that maybe he ought to announce himself, but figured the sound of the shower rings sliding over the rod as he pulled the curtain would be enough to get Amity to look at him.
At least Clark had the decency to look sheepish. "Sorry. I couldn't wait."
Then he moved in to stand behind her. With a hand curving over Amity's throat and an arm looping over her waist, Clark tilted her head up so he could bend down for a slow, simple kiss.
