Against All Odds (closed for silvertongue217)

[silvertongue217]

"No reason to be" Clark told her stepping out his feet crunching on the snow. He watched the car move away and he sighed steeling himself for what was to come. The house met him hitting him like a ton of bricks and causing him to suck in a ragged breath. He wasnt sure how he felt still about being back, on the one hand he was happy happy to see his family who he did love. On the other hand he could already feel the sniffling emptiness of the country. The lights and sounds of the city were so far away and instead all he felt was the trees pressing in to trap him.

"I am being an idiot" Clark whispered to himself shaking his head before turning his attention back to Emily "My parents are going to love you I promise its me thats going to have to deal with all the fusing to make sure I treat you right"

Clark put on his best smile and locked their arms together. Clark took another deep breath and walked forward bringing her up to the wooden front steps of his home.

His mother greeted them at the door, a curvy woman with eyes of steel and hard worn hands. She was as Clark had told Emily more than happy to see both of them. She dotted on Emily as was expected and ushered them into the home with talks of feeding them.

His dad wasnt back from the farm work just yet however Emily spent the first hour being introduced to all of his brothers and sisters. They all loved her and Nyx and her both received almost an overwhelming amount of attention. Clark sat with her the entire time holding her hand and making sure it never got overwhelming.

Then the dinner bell was rung every one was ushered into the large dining room just as Clarks dad came in. He was a hard man built like a mountain and very private. He was polite to them both and Clark talked with him but for Emily their bodies told a different story there was a tightness there that was undertone and judging by Clarks moms own body she was aware but doing her best to manuever around it.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

There was something in Clark's voice that tugged at Emily's heart strings. She pushed it away though, looking forward to meeting his family. Entering the house felt almost like being back in the city again. With four kids younger than Clark, the house was a wonderful cacophony of laughter and teasing, stomping feet and slamming doors. He had two younger brothers and two younger sisters, all of which were very pleased to meet her (and Nyx). His mother was lovely, and true to the country style of hospitality soon excused herself to go and make dinner.

Dinner was announced by a bell. An actual real life bell. As Clark's youngest sister run it, the rich pealing tones bounced merrily over the breeze tickled fields. Emily broadened her perceptions, her face looking out of the window, and pinpricks of sound danced back to her and filled her mind with the earthy view.

Everyone shuffled into the dining room after washing their hands and faces (if they'd been working on the farm), and they all sat in their set places. A chair was squeezed in between Clark and the brother that had picked them up for Emily, and Clark's mother had even gone to the trouble of preparing a wonderful smelling chunk of meat for Nyx.

If Clark thought the house was a noisy place, then dinner was an even noisier affair. The voices of six eight people warred of the clattering of dishes and cutlery. It settled a bit once every one had dished out their food (Clark automatically helping Emily with this task, as though it was no big deal), and the chewing of food was now the main sound. The mood was generally light, but every now and again Clark's father spoke and the room would still just a little. He was polite of course, the perfect gentleman, but his tone and demeanour lacked the natural warmth and charisma that his eldest son had. When his father had spoken of New York (that 'rat race of a place'), Clark's body tensed and she heard the sharp intake of breath that signified that he was steeling himself for something. Whatever it was never came, though, and dinner continued.

Clark's family were more than curious about her. They asked all about her family; she didn't have much to tell them apart from the fact that her parents died in the accident that caused her blindness, and that Nanna adopted her. No, Nanna wasn't her real grandmother, but she might as well be. Clark's father had asked what she was studying; psychology, she told him ('city folk and their odd careers,' he said with a disbelieving shake of his head'). His father was also very interested in how she had acquired and trained Nyx. Emily explained that the guide dog was able to lead her down pre-trained paths with ease, but couldn't find new locations without direction. That she was exceptionally well house trained, knew how to communicate to Emily when there was a change in the footpath or obstacles. Emily had taken her own when Nyx was almost two, and they had been together for two and a half years.

"Why did you name her Nyx?" The oldest of Clark's sisters piped up between mouthfuls of dessert.

"Oh, Nyx was the Greek goddess of night," Emily said with a smile and a shrug, "You know, night, shadows, black. I figured it was a good name for a black Labrador."

Silence filled the room, Emily could have heard a pin drop three farms down. She heard an uncomfortable shift, the sound of several heads turning to look at the clearly golden coloured labrador chewing on a bone obliviously.

"Gosh- I'm joking! I know she's a goldie!" Emily said, with a wave of dismissal and a laugh. After a moment Clark's sisters started laughing loudly, and most of the family joined in with dark chuckled. "I just like the name," Emily shrugged.

~*~

Later that night after dinner was finished and plates were cleared up, the youngest of Clark's siblings went about their night time routines. Emily thanked Clark's mother profusely for the amazing meal. Clark's mother then informed her that she would be sharing a room with his youngest sister Sarah, so Clark dutifully carried her suitcase to the room (though Emily could hear his mumbled curses about old fashioned rules as he lumbered off). When he returned, Clark took Emily out onto the creaky wooden porch of the farm house and she breathed in the cold, fresh air. The icy breeze bit into her skin and she felt her cheeks flush.

"Can we grab our jackets and go for a walk? I need some time to digest that amazing food," Emily suggested.

 

[silvertongue217]

"Of course we can" Clark said having already brought out their coats.

"You beat me to the punch" He told her shrugging it onto her and then pulling his on
"After all that I need the break from my family"

He took her hand and after nodding at Nyx began to lead them down the path circling the small lake they had on their property. They walked in silence for a few minutes with Clark breathing in the country air and glancing over at her.

"I got to say you did AMAZING" Clark said smiling at her "I mean my family loved you even my dad if he didnt want to show it, I cant tell you how much they all enjoyed having you around"

"Even if we dont come back here often you are for sure always welcome" He told her as they left the lake and began to move into the trees.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Emily couldn't help but grin, chuffed that Clark had thought she'd done so well. Normally impressing people wasn't something she overly strived for, but for his family? Well, that was different. If they liked her then...

"So," Emily said, "I hope Sarah doesn't mind that I'll be sharing her room?" She asked. "It's a cold night for you to be sleeping alone."


It was his parents house, so she wouldn't argue with he arrangement, but she couldnt hide the fact that she'd been hoping to spend the night in Clark's embrace.

 

[silvertongue217]

Clark grumbled shaking his head "I cant wait to get back even though were still going ot have to deal with your nan and my room mate"

Clark sighed reaching over kissing her cheek as they moved into the forest and left the farm and homestead. He watched the snow fall tracing the path and smirking in pleasure.

"Do you think we should move in together" He asked her turning and stopping them in a clearing "I mean were clearly crazy about each other...."

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Emily froze on the spot, and it had nothing to do with the weather.she turned her face to Clark, gripping his arm even tighter.

"Well, yes..." She said before she could catch herself, she sighed, "I would love to Clark, but I don't have the money for it. I am happy to get a job and save up though? One of my social workers sent me an add for transcript writers a while back... I could try that?"

Emily was babbling m, it wasn't to cover how nervous she was, she was actually excited at the prospect of moving in with him. What she was worried about was how she would hide her nightly activities. She knew for a fact that Clark didn't take sleeping pills like her Nanna did...

 

[silvertongue217]

"I have some money actually" Clark said rubbing the back of his head "I saved up because I knew were I was going you would have to get a job eventually as would I but we could do it now and I could front it"

He was probably sounding over eager but in a way he didnt care. He wanted to be with her, no needed to. They had been having such a good time and if he was being honest with himself didnt want to go back to having a roommate and then not being able to.... be with her as much as he wanted to be.

"Lets do it" He said leaning in kissing her deeply

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Emily couldn't help but giggle as he kissed her, tasting his enthusiasm. It was warm, fresh and exhilarating.

"Okay, yes!" She said, unable to believe herself. "But just give me a couple of months... Just to save up a bit. I know you don't care Clark, being the gentleman you are... But it means a lot to me that I contribute too..."

She reached out, placing one hand on his chest. Her breathing had increased with the excitement and her cheeks were flushed with joy.

 

[silvertongue217]

"if you say so" Clark said sighing and shaking his head "But its just losing time to you know"

His hand ran down her back grabbing her ass and pulling it against his heated body. They danced in the clearing snow failing every where. His heart pounded in excitement and lust was apparent through every pore in his body. He leaned down kissing her deeply and fully his tongue moving into her mouth and claiming it.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Emily moaned as Clark pulled her body against his. He was hot and hard in all the right ways. She let him lead her in a dance in the snow, the air surrounding them heating up just a touch from their embrace. She fell into his kiss. Tasting his need as the snowflakes fell upon them.

"God Clark, don't do this to me," she begged when she pulled away from the kiss, panting. "I'm sharing a room with your sister! I cant even satisfy myself if you get me worked up..."

She had said that, but she kissed him again anyway, unable to help herself.

 

[silvertongue217]

Clark kissed her back deeply picking her up and groaning at her words.

"I know dont remind me" Clark growled shaking his head "I mean we could always..."

He trailed off looking around before clearing his throat "we are alone in the woods right now... And I doubt no one is going to come looking for us any time soon" He trailed off his hands running up and down her sides.

"It might be a little cold though" He said eyeing her.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Emily breathed in, a sharp intake of surprise. She d
Couldn't believe when he was saying. She fast her senses out, confirming that there was no-one around. She reached down and patted Nyx on the rump.

"Go play girl, I'll call you when it is home time," Emily said, voice shivering as she clung to Clark.

"It may be cold," she confirmed, pressing her lips against his neck, "But I think you know just how to warm me..."

 

[silvertongue217]

"Oh god" Clark said moaning as her lips went to his neck he moaned in pleasure his entire body alight with lust. He grabbed her lifting her up and pressing her against the trunk as he began to kiss her deeply and passionately.

"Thank god your wearing a skirt and leggings" Clark said chuckling and moaning.

"Go ahead and take it off" Clark said putting it down and stepping back "Ill keep your legs warm" he said biting his lips.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

An unintended whine escaped Kelsey's lips when Clark out her down again. She bit her lip at his words. Despite knowing they were utterly alone she felt shy. But she did as he requested, pulling her tights and underwear down. They got stuck on the upper edges of her boots, so she undid those too and made sure she could get her tights off completely. She slipped her feet back into her boots, so she wasn't standing in the snow, and turned her face back to Clark. She took her dark glasses off too, her bright blue, sightless eyes sparling in the dappled starlight.

"Please Clark, I'm so cold," she said shivering, the fabric of her skirt whispering against her bare skin as the frigid night air set in. She reached an arm out for him, beckoning him back to her.

 

[silvertongue217]

"I know" Clark said softly grabbing her

"Let me keep you warm"

He listed her his pants already open. His cock warm and throbbing plunged into her going in deep and filling her. His thighs and the top part of his abdomen as his warm skin touched hers.

His hands were on her legs rubbing them keeping her warm. He teased and rubbed the skin keeping it soft and prickly as he leaned in and kissed her deeply.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

"God yes, that's it," Emily groaned as Clark slid into her. His cock was a burning brand compared to the icy air, and his massaging hands worked to bring life to her cold legs. She kissed him deeply as he thrust into her, her back hard up against the tree. She wrapped her arms around him, planting, begging him for more.

 

[silvertongue217]

He laughed leaning in kissing her deeply his hands every where keeping her warm and on the edge. He thrust in and out moaning in pleasure his cock inside of her throbbing. He kept going pushing in thrusting in and out and working the friction between them to keep them warm.

"Oh god thats it thats it" He said panting in pleasure moving in and out harder and faster.

"God I love you Emily"

 

[SinisterSpiders]

"I love you too," Emily moaned as Clark pushed into her again and again. The unrelenting tree at her back jarred every thrust and made her feel it all the more. She shifted her hips, but couldn't quite get the right position to hit her clit.

 

[silvertongue217]

"I know its not ideal" Clark growled thrusting in his hands keeping her steady as his cock throbbed inside of her.

"Hang on" Clark said a sudden idea forming in his mind. He grabbed her legs pushing off the tree and nodding at her to hold onto it. His hands went to her back holding her up as he slowly moved her so her legs were on his shoulders.

"Man we could be sex gymnast" Clark said snorting and shaking his head as he held her back up so she was horizontal on his cock. He started thrusting again going deeper than he had before and finally managing to slam and tease her clit.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Emily allowed Clark to move her about as he wanted, clinging onto the tree and groaning when he filled her once more.

"You're lucky I had good training as a kid," she chuckled breathlessly. Though the humour was short lived. Clark bucked his hips and jostled her clit, a loud cry escaped from her lips and she quickly clamped it back down, not wanting the sound to carry. Instead each thrust of his cock was met with a barely restrained moan. He drove her higher and higher in her pleasure, until the only thing she held back were her cries. Instead, she groaned his name over and over as her inner muscles clenched around him.

"Clark! Fuck!" She whimpered, feeling him inside her.

 

[silvertongue217]

"Oh god yeah thats better" Clark grunted his cock throbbing deep inside of her. He felt his mound hitting and teasing her clit and it only drove him more feral as he continued to fuck her against the tree. By now cold had ceased to be a problem. Clarks body heat heat and hers was so fired up she could see the vague shimmer as he pounded in and out.

"its so intense with you" Clark moaned his hands having moved to her back to keep her held up "Oh my love my love!"

 

[SinisterSpiders]

The world around Emily became a contrast of hot and cold, awareness and darkness. Clark's body was searing hot against hers, the combined warmth of their bodies chasing the cold away from where they were joined. Snow started to flutter down around them, but nothing could pierce the shimmer of heat where their skin met.

Through it all Emily focused on Clark; on his fresh masculine scent mingled with the crisp tang of snow. She felt the shudder of their bodies as they collided, the graze of skin upon skin. His outline shone brightly in her mind, the image impressing itself on her consciousness. His words of love and lust thrilled her, and the erotic rush of their coupling made her pleasure skyrocket.

"I love you Clark," Emily moaned, eyes fluttering shut as her hands dug into the tree trunk. The continued jostling of her clit worked at her, pushing her pleasure higher and thrusting her into a long orgasm punctuated by low, restrained groans and Clark's name hissing from her lips.

 

[silvertongue217]

"I love you to fuck fuck fuck I love you" Clark said moaning in pleasure as he felt her explode around his cock. Her pleasure and the knowledge he had caused her the pleasure sent him over the edge as well. His cock swelled and burst his thick cum seeding and pushing deep inside of her as he rode out an intense orgasm.

Clark would have loved to have drawn her into his arms right then and there. To hold kiss and love on her as they basked in their post love making glow. Unfortunately it was to cold for that so instead he reluctantly pulled her off setting her back down.

"We need to get in quickly" Clark said leaning down to kiss her once more "I cant believe we dont get to sleep together" He said shaking his head and snorting as he led her back down the trail and to the house.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

When Clark pulled away from Emily the cold of the night rushed in to replace him. Her skin was still buzzing from their shared pleasure, but the moment that the ice-kissed air touched her skin she shivered. As soon as his soft, regretful kiss finished, she bent over and retrieved her tights, and then slipped her feet back into her boots. The walk back was brisk, and her body was weak with the exertion of her orgasm. She held on tight, and stuck close to his side, and made sure to smooth her hair before they reached the house.

Inside it was like another world. It was bright, warm, and noisier than any house had bushiness being. Emily was quickly swept away from Clark, pulled into conversations and then tugged up the stairs by Sarah. Sarah had been terribly pleased that Emily would be sharing her room, and gave her a very vivid description of the care she had taken to decorate it. Luckily, Sarah was a superbly tidy teenager, and moving around the space was easy for Emily. Nyx had been able to make herself at home on a lovely warm blanket that Clark's mother had set up for her, and soon it was late enough that Sarah had been told to go to bed.

Emily and Nyx had then sought out Clark. She gave him a chaste kiss goodnight (as one of his brother's was also in the room), and whispered a word of thanks for their interlude earlier. She then retreated to the bathroom and basked in the sounds and warmth of the shower. She was aware that she needed to share the warm water with almost a dozen others, but she enjoyed her short time, with all sounds drowned out by the shower.

~*~

Sarah, it turned out, was actually a wonderful room mate. She had been peppy and chatty well into the wee hours of the night, happy to regale Emily with amusing tales of Clark's childhood. If Emily hadn't already known it, Sarah would have confirmed that he was a genuinely kind and wonderful man. His sister clearly adored him, even if his exodus to New York had given him somewhat of a black sheep status. Sarah was all in favour of the move for him (even if she did miss him very much), and was already dreaming of following in his footsteps. Emily's mind then cast back to her discussion with Clark earlier, his impassioned proposal for them to move in together, and thought with amusement that she would very much like to have Sarah visit them.

When Emily finally went to sleep, it felt like she had only been out for a few minutes before a loud pealing sound burst through her consciousness. Emily sat bold upright, hearth thundering for a moment as her senses kicked in and she remembered where she was.

"Ugh, what time is it?" Emily asked, throat raw and eyes gritty with sleep. There was a tired chuckle and a rustle of sheets from the other side of the room and she saw Sarah sit up.

"Five forty-five," Sarah said, her amusement in her voice as Emily groaned and fell back onto the bed. "We start early out here."

~*~

And Sarah hadn't been kidding. Emily and Sarah made their way downstairs after getting dressed. Sarah and the other kids had all been shooed off by their parents, having chores to see to before breakfast. Clark's father had pulled him aside, telling him that they would need him to help in a gruff voice. There was an awkward pause, as his father looked over at Emily, clearly trying to figure out what to do with a blind girl on a working farm.

"You can take the tractor if you want, tell Alex he can muck the stalls. It's a nice morning, if cold, but it will make for a nice trip around while you set out the hay."

Emily waited for Clark to come to her, running her fingers of the page of her novel. She pretended that she hadn't heard, but tilted her head towards him slightly as he approached, a smile tugging at her lips as his familiar masculine, earthy scent wafted over.

"Good morning you," she said.

 

[silvertongue217]

"Morning to you" Clark said coming down dressed in a simply pair of jeans and a white long sleeved shirt. He wasnt used to the early mornings any more and he watched a few amused looks and good natured teasings aimed his way as he came over and kissed her on the cheek and then his mother.

"If its alright with you Ma can Emily help in the kitchen" Clark asked raising an eyebrow at his fathers word.

"Of course" She said glancing over at his dad and rising up "That would be fine I have dinner to prepare for"

"Great" Clark said relief evident on his voice as he turned to Dad "After chores and breakfast I was wondering if we could go out and do some hunting?"

"You want to hunt?" Clarks dad asked snorting in surprise "I thought-"

"some thing some thing about city boys I am sure" Clark said rolling his eyes watching his dad stiffen "Whats a matter? I thought you would like to see if my skill have rusted enough that you guys can finally top me"

There were a lot of smirks there from the brothers as they laughed. Clarks dad remained silent for a moment before cracking the first smile and laugh since they got here.

"Alright boy if you dont mind me showing you up to your lady" Clarks dad said before clearing his throat and nodding at every one "go on git! Yall got your chores for the morning lets go earn your mamas good cooking!"

Clark gave her one more kiss good bye and then he was off outside. Before Emily could say any thing his mom was sweeping him into the kitchen showing her around and helping her as she passed idle gossip.
