Chapter One - Not The Usual


If anyone had stepped into the Schöller residence, they would have been unimpressed. It was a small, cramped house, even by Smallville standards. Had they gone into the basement, however, their assessment of the house would have changed drastically. The first thing that would have alerted them to the fact that strange things were afoot would have been the thick padlock that was hanging from the steel reinforced door.

The only thing that would open the padlock, other than a bullet, was a key that hung around the neck of the person currently hunched over a long, black lab table in the basement. Beyond the door was your run-of-the-mill mad scientist laboratory. On top of the lab table were numerous beakers, a Bunsen burner, a scale and some rather disgusting goo filled containers. Most of the beakers had a greenish tint to them from being filled with the same substance repeatedly.

In the middle of the room, hard at work was 18 year old Marty Schöller. He was softly muttering to himself, the flame of the Bunsen burner reflected in his thick, black glasses. "Almost there," he said softly, as he poured a dollop of a viscious brown liquid into a beaker with a glowing green fluid. "Easy now, steady hand," he reminded himself as he intently went about his work.

After the mixture was complete, a small spark appeared in the fluid. Marty smiled to himself, though, it was more of a diabolical grin, he liked to think. "I've done it, now they'll pay. Now, they'll all pay. I'll bring Smallville to its knees. But, first I need a test subject." Marty began to chuckle, which turned into laughing, which in turn developed into a coughing fit. After taking a hit off of his inhaler, he strode out of the room with one destination in mind. The Talon.


*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*


The Talon was packed with patrons, as it was early afternoon, and the house was filled to capacity with high school kids, taking a coffee break, before the afternoon classes started. At a table in close proximity to the counter and in straight line of sight to the owner and current waitress sat the resident playboy billionaire and his farmboy friend. The latter was occupied pining over the waitress in question, the former bored out of his mind.

"And then she just smiled and walked away. I mean, we have this whole meaningful conversation about Mentos or Tic Tacs and then she just leaves. What's that about, Lex," Clark asked, tearing his eyes briefly away from Lana.
"Lex," he repeated. If he didn't know any better, Clark would have thought that Lex wasn't paying attention to what he was saying.

Lex put his rather interesting daydream of himself and a certain blonde on hold and tuned back in on the rambling of his young friend. "Honestly Clark, I have no idea. Maybe you should go for a more aggressive tactic. Yang Ze used to say..." He was cut off by Clark, before he could finish his appropriate metaphor.

"See, aggressive....I wouldn't want to scare Lana, she's delicate, you know? I keep thinking that if I take it slow and easy, we'll just ease into the relationship." Clark turned his head, looking at Lex earnestly when something out of the corner of his eye caught his attention.

Clark's brows knit together in as deep concentration as the farmboy could muster when his gaze fixed on the figure that had just entered the Talon. The boy looked dishevelled and his eyes were darting about nervously. Clark could see that he kept one hand in his pocket and considered using his x-ray vision but decided not to chance it with Lex sitting less than three feet away.

Lex arched a suspicious eyebrow as something other than the illustrious Lana Lang had managed to catch the attention of Clark Kent, closet stalker. "Something the matter?"

"No," Clark said, slowly as he turned back towards Lex. "Not really. Can you see that guy that just came in," Clark asked and he saw that Lex nodded. "He looks kinda shifty. I had better make sure to keep an eye on Lana."

"You do that." Lex smirked as the farmboy was already getting up from his chair. "Oh and tell Lana to bring me another cappuccino, would you?"

Clark broke out into one of his huge grins. "No problem," he said, making his way over to the counter.

When he was out of Clark's sight, Lex closed his eyes for a moment and returned to his elaborate and x-rated fantasy revolving around him and a certain blonde.



Marty entered the Talon and tried to look as inconspicious as possible as he started to whistle. He suddenly remembered that in every movie he had ever seen, whistling was a clear sign that you were up to something. He quickly stopped. Marty stroked the glass beaker in his pocket in order to calm himself. After taking a deep breath he quickly walked up to the counter. He saw two vapid looking brunnettes making googly eyes at each other. The female was clearly not paying attention to what she was doing. 'This shouldn't be too hard,' he thought.

As Marty leaned on the counter, a man walked over and stood to his right. "Um, Miss," he said, a bit testily, "I ordered a black coffee five minutes ago, remember?" The girl's eyes grew wide. "Oh, I'm sorry. I'll bring it right over," she said as she hurried to pour the coffee.

She placed the coffee on the tray, along with another beverage and then placed the tray right in front of Marty. He looked over at the gentleman, who was now back in his seat and appraised him. 'Early 40s, those are obviously his kids with him. Perfect.' Marty noticed that the girl had gone back to talking with the boy. Yet again forgetting the man's coffee. Marty swiftly took out the beaker and dumped the contents into the man's black coffee. "Uh, Miss," the man called from across the room.

Marty quickly stepped away from the tray, giving the girl a commiserating smile as he made eye contact and said, "Coffee, regular when you get a chance." He retreated to a table in the back, in order to watch his handiwork play out. After getting himself settled and holding up a newspaper as a shield, he looked over to the man.

The first thing that he noticed was that the man was not yet drinking his coffee. However, a second later he saw the reason for it. The dim witted waitress had left some other drink on the table. Marty quickly scanned the coffee shop and his heart lurched in his chest when he found the mug that contained his elixir. Lex Luthor was drinking from it.

"I'm so fucked," he whispered aloud. He watched, seeming unable to tear his eyes away, as Mr. Luthor took another sip.



Lex frowned after he took the first sip of his beverage. He looked into the mug for the first time. Black coffee. 'What the..?' He suppressed a groan. Lana had gotten his order wrong, again. However, he was not about to make a big deal of it. There was no need to get Clark all upset about critique on his object of affection.

Clark had been distracted by Lana and when he turned back to keep an eye on the shifty guy, he was no longer there. He scanned the room and saw the boy sitting at a table by himself. 'He looks as if he's about to be sick,' Clark thought.

Lex took another long swig of his coffee, and shrugged when he tasted a slight tinge of chocolate in it. When he put the cup down, a little flash of jitters ran through him, and his vision was blurred for a moment. He pinched the bridge of his nose and felt the feeling subside.

Marty let out a whimper when he saw the billionaire take a long gulp of the coffee. He watched closely as the man shuddered and then touched his face. 'Gotta get out of here,' he thought. He stood up and walked as quickly as he could to the door, taking one last look at Mr. Luthor over his shoulder. The bald man was still drinking the coffee.
Marty was so preoccupied with him that he didn't notice the other figure entering the Talon and bumped right into it. Or, her, to be exact.

"Hey, watch it, buddy," Chloe said, loudly as she shuffled all of her belongings around in her arms. She looked up at the boy, expecting an apology. Instead, he merely brushed past her and ran out onto the sidewalk. "Rude much?"

Chloe spotted a familiar figure at the counter and walked over to Clark. "Hey," she said, still trying to get a comfortable grip on her laptop, bag and notebook. Clark merely grunted in return and when she followed his line of sight, she groaned. She couldn't take one more minute of the sappy mating dance of her two friends. Chloe spotted Lex sitting alone and determinely walked over to his table. "This seat taken," she asked as she slid into it, placing her stuff on the seat next to her.

"Apparently it is now" Lex smirked at her, taking in her precarious balancing act with all her items. "Working on a story again?" He motioned to her laptop and notebook.

"No comment," she said, mysteriously. Chloe grinned at Lex, then turned around. "What does a girl have to do to get some service around here?"

"Oh I think I can provide you with all you need if you let me." Lex had to fight the urge to slap his hand over his mouth, after the words had spilled from his lips. 'What the Fuck?' He had never been this blunt in his innuendoes, but in some strange way he felt freer, more relaxed. Lex hoped he wouldn't get slapped for his remark, seeing the incredulous look on Chloe's face.

"Oh really," Chloe said, with an innocent look on her face. It wasn't often that Lex let his guard down and she was going to take full advantage of it. "And pray tell Lex," she rolled his name on her tongue, "how would you *service* me?" She smiled; knowing that there was no way that Lex was going to answer the question.

"Oh I'd definitely find ways you couldn't imagine in your wildest dreams." His gaze was burning a hole into her eyes. 'What the fuck' He'd gone and done it again. His brain seemed to have taken a vacation and now his dick seemed to have started to think for him. Lex chuckled at the thought and Chloe's blush. His eyes traveled from her face down to her cleavage and he briefly wondered if he could make that blush cover her whole body. He set his mind on finding it out.

Chloe hadn't expected that. His words were especially embarrassing due to the fact that she had had a rather vivid dream involving the two of them the night before. She felt herself blushing and mentally cursed. But, she wouldn't let him win. She raised her head, locking eyes with the man. "I don't know, my dreams are pretty wild."

"Oh really, so you are dreaming about me? Care to share?" Lex stuck his tongue behind his teeth and leaned back in his seat, letting his gaze travel over her body once again.

'Is this the Twilight Zone,' Chloe wondered as she watched Lex's eyes take in her body. Sure, they had verbally sparred before, but, nothing like this. Lex looked at her expectantly and she remembered that it was now her turn to respond. "I don't believe I said my dreams were about *you*, just that they were wild." She crossed her arms over her chest in a 'so there' gesture.

"Oh, forgive if I assumed incorrectly, so who is the guy of your dreams? Clark? Do you still want him? Do you imagine what it would feel like to kiss him, to stroke him, maybe give him head?" She was rubbing him the wrong way with her stupid infatuation for the farmboy and now he was set to make her pay.

Chloe's mouth was hanging open, she was at a loss for words. A predicament that she did not usually find herself in. She closed her mouth, infuriated by the look of satisfaction on Lex's face. "We're talking about my dreams, Lex, not *yours*."

It was Lex's turn to open and close his mouth like a fish on land for a couple of times. "Why at least I have some experience in the field of sex." He glared at her before he added in a stage whisper "Jungfrau" the German word for virgin, guessing that she wouldn't catch the meaning. At that moment Clark returned from the counter and stood between them leaning over the table.

He quickly recoiled when he saw the look on Chloe's face, she looked as if she was about to leap over the table and pummel Lex. When he turned his attention to his other friend, Clark noticed that the older man also had fire in his eyes. 'Uh oh,' Clark thought. 'Have to seperate them, and fast.' "Chloe," Clark said, and had to repeat her name once more before she broke eye contact with Lex. "Lana needs you," he said, coming up with the only way he could get her away from the table. Chloe clenched her jaw and nodded curtly before getting up and stalking over to the counter. "What was that about," Clark said, taking Chloe's seat.

"Oh nothing of importance, she just lost a round of our verbal sparring, she'll get over it." Lex leaned back, linking his fingers behind his head. "So, any progress on the Lana Front?" He grinned, yes actually grinned at Clark and waggled his eyebrows.

"Not really," Clark said, slowly. There was something off about Lex and he couldn't figure out what it was. "Though we are going to study together tonight." Clark's face lit up at the thought of the two of them in his room, hunched together over a book. Of course, they each had their own books....but still.

Lex let out an exasperated sigh at the incompetence of his friend to get what he wanted. He leaned forward and braced his elbows on the table, intertwining his hands and pressing them against his forehead.

"Clark, I don't get it. You want her, she wants you. It is obvious to this whole cowtown, yet neither of you two is making a move. Frankly, it's fucking annoying. Why don't you do something about it already and get it over with?" His voice had risen slightly in volume as his vent continued. "I mean really, does she have to lay in front of you in nothing but a silk teddy and chirp 'Make love to me Clark' " Lex mocked a high pitched girly tone at the words. "What on hell and earth is necessary that you two get it on already? This whole story could be out of a bad soap for heavens sake!" He fixed the by now flustered farmboy with an exasperated look.

Like Chloe before him, Clark searched for an answer to Lex's question. Numerous broken sounds were emitted from his throat before he settled on some actual words. "I just don't want to rush into anything until she's ready for it," Clark said. He saw Lex roll his eyes at that comment. 'Since when does Lex roll his eyes?' Clark thought. He was pulled out of his train of thought when Chloe came back over to the table.

"What the fuck, Clark," Chloe said, angrily. "Lana didn't need anything. Are you so far gone that you now hear her voice in your head? Or, maybe you're sick and delusional, do you have a fever," she asked as she put her hand to Clark's forehead.

Lex chuckled as he saw that Chloe was still fairly aggravated, 'God she's sexy when she's pissed' however he did not like her getting so overly intimate with the farmboy. "He's fine, just a little out of it from his Lana-Pining I believe." He chuckled at the shocked look Clark was sending him.

Chloe chuckled at the look on Clark's face. "Clark, it's not as if that's news to me. Don't worry," she said, leaning in to mock whisper in his ear, "you're secret is safe with me."

Lex growled when he saw Clark taking a peek down Chloe's cleavage while she leaned over him. "Clark, I think you can take your eyes off of her tits now, she might not like that."

Chloe looked down at Clark who had blushed almost purple by now. She laughed nervously and stepped past Clark, beginning to clear the chair next to him of her stuff. She glanced back at Lex and noticed that he was glaring at Clark. 'Interesting,' she thought. "And, what if I do like it, Lex?"

"Then you would be a pretty shallow girl, Chloe. I thought you'd have a man appreciating you for your intellectual assets, rather than for the size of your breasts." Lex stated coolly, still annoyed that Clark was getting what should be his.

Chloe snorted. "Lex, I'm surprised that I have to tell you this. But, a woman wants both. She wants to be seen as both intellectual and desirable. Maybe that's why your relationships don't work out. So, tell me, which one was Helen? Dumb or ugly?" Chloe crossed her arms over her chest and couldn't help but notice that Lex's eyes left hers and briefly landed on the area that they were discussing.

Lex let his gaze return to her eyes, his look cold as ice. "Actually, she was both. To my eyes at least. Well after I found out she was working for my father and fucking him for convenience that is. And I didn't say only, I said rather, inferring that intellect should be more important than mere beauty. But, going with your line of thinking, in which category would you put Clark? Or Lana for that matter?" He motioned for the former with his elbow, his arms now crossed over his chest.

Chloe finished moving her belongings to the floor and sat down next to Clark, inspecting him intently. "Why do I feel like I'm a specimen," Clark muttered under his breath. Chloe spoke, "Well, being that we haven't specifically defined intelligence, the first part of the question is hard to answer. However," she said, looking at Clark and then behind him at Lana, "while they both might not be able to conjugate a French verb worth a damn, they do have other skills that are beyond me. Clark here," she said, laying her hand on his arm, "can fix any piece of farm equipment. And Lana, even though you wouldn't know it by looking at her, is actually quite the American History buff. As for the desirable portion of this questioning, I'd have to be blind, or very petty, if I didn't say that Lana was pretty. And as for Clark here, well, yum." After her speech she turned to Lex. "Wouldn't you agree?"

"Well, I do have to concede that Clark is a rather attractive male of the species, if you go for the clumsy puppy dog thing. Sorry Clark." He shot a not really convincing apologizing look at the farmboy. "As for Lana, I definitely have to agree to your assessing and even add to it." He didn't really find the girl attracting, but still he wanted to get a rise out of Chloe. "She has this indescribable something about her, seems to be perfection to detail. An opponent nearly impossible to beat if you're competing for the affection of a boy." He knew that would push her buttons, as it was a rather blunt insinuation to the triangle apparently still going on between the three teens.

Chloe surprised Lex by smiling at him. However, it was devoid of any real emotion. "Well, then, I guess it's lucky that I came to my senses, no offense Clark, long ago, right?" Chloe removed her hand from Clark's arm. "Because, it seems, in Lex's knowledgeable opinion of the female species, that I wouldn't stand a chance against Lana in any respect." Her voice trembled with rage and, though she didn't want to admit it, hurt.

Lex internally winced when he recognized the hurt in her voice. He had meant to show her that she had no chance with the farmboy. It was never his intention to make her think she had no chance with him. 'Quick, mind come up with something'.

"I never said you didn't stand a chance in general. Believe me, while boys might go for the seeming perfection of Lana Lang, men tend to prefer a woman that doesn't wear all that she is on her sleeve." He looked at her intently, sending a quick praier to any higher being that might listen, that she would understand what he meant. He didn't give a toss if he had just insulted Clark with that comment, Chloe had highest priority.

"Nice back pedal, Lex," Chloe said. "But, don't worry about me, you don't need to worry about my feelings. You haven't in the past, so why start now? However, I do believe Lana deserves to know that you find her perfect so if you will excuse me gentlemen, and I use the term lightly," she said, her eyes boring into Lex," I'm going to go and tell her." With that, Chloe walked over to the counter, running a hand through her hair. Lex was confusing her way too much, she needed to get away from him.

"Oh if we're doing the truth spilling, maybe we should tell Clark about your dreams" Lex called after her non to silently.

Clark's head whipped around to stare at Chloe, as did everyone else’s in the Talon. Clark could see that Chloe was doing those breathing exercises to control her anger that her dad had suggested. She calmly walked back to the table and sat down next to Lex.

Her eyes were fixed on the floor. "Lex," she said, evenly. "First off, I would appreciate you not yelling after me as if I were your chattel. Second, I assume that you were referring to our earlier conversation about my wild dreams." Clark had to interrupt, "About me," he squeaked out. "No, Clark," Chloe said, still staring at the floor. "I told Lex the dreams I had were not about him. He then *assumed* they were about you. So, Mr. Luthor, the next time you want to humiliate me with baseless accusation, can you at least do it in a more private arena?" Chloe realized that things were spirialing out of control. 'Honey, things already *are* out of control,' she thought to herself.

Lex actually felt chagrined for a moment, but his pride won out. "Well, you were just about to do the same to me, so I think we're even on that level." He tried to make light of the situation. "So, if it's neither Clark, nor me…who is the object of your desire, cause the only one left I can think of would be Mr. Ross and I hadn't pegged you for the jock type."

For a moment, Chloe had a blank look on her face and then she burst out laughing at the thought of her having x-rated dreams about Pete. Lex chuckled for a moment, glad he had gotten out of the worst. He offered her his right hand, while his left came to rest on the back of the booth behind her. "Truce?"

Chloe rolled her eyes and sighed dramatically. "I suppose," she said as she grasped Lex's offered hand.

His eyes widened for a moment at the spark that shot through him at the contact, before he shrugged it off as static electricity. "Good."

At this moment, the cell in his jacket started ringing. He flipped it out and answered the insistent call "Luthor." Chloe and Clark watched him roll his eyes while he was uttering several noncommittal agreeing or disagreeing noises, sometimes throwing in a 'yes', 'no' or 'sure' for good measure. Both teens' eyes widened comically, when he suddenly stuck his index finger in his mouth and made a silent gagging noise.

"Yes, Dad. Yeah. I'll meet you at the mansion in an hour." With that he hung up and replaced the tiny phone in his jacket. Lex threw a twenty on the table and got up. "These are on me." He motioned for the beverages. However, his exit was blocked by Chloe, still sitting next to him.

Chloe noticed that Lex would not be able to make his way out of the Talon unless she moved. And while it was tempting to further annoy him, she decided to stamp down her urge to do so after their truce. She stood up and walked a few steps away from the couch, intending to allow Lex to slide past her. However, when she started walking, he followed close behind, making that plan unfeasible.

When Chloe cleared the edge of the couch, she turned her body slightly so that her back was facing the door of the Talon. Lex turned back to Clark, who was now on his feet and said, "Trust me Clark, carpe diem." Clark smiled and said, "That's just what I was about to do," he said, taking a deep breath and walking over to Lana.

"Hmmm…I'm surprised he actually knew what that meant," Lex murmured, earning a chuckle from Chloe. She noticed that Lex was still standing rather close to her body so she tried to back up without him noticing. However, her plan was thwarted by the leg of the couch. She bumped into it and lost her balance until she felt a pair of strong hands on her waist.

"Thanks," she said, staring at the floor, embarrassed by her display of klutziness. "No problem," she heard Lex whisper back. She felt his right hand leave her hip and then her eyes widened.

If Chloe hadn't caught the smirk on Lex's face as he bid her goodbye, she would have thought that her overactive imagination had gotten the best of her. However, she did see the smirk and the accompanying smug look on his face as he exited the Talon. No, Chloe was right, she was sure of it. Lex's left hand had travelled from her hip to cup her ass for a moment before leaving her body.

Chapter Two - Father Figures and Shopping

Lex stormed into his bedroom, muttering and cursing under his breath. "Another fucking meeting with Dad&#33; As if I hadn&#39;t enough on my schedule already. Gah" He ripped the confining jacket and shirt from his body and threw it in a random direction.

Making a beeline for his impressive walk in closet, he started to root restlessly through the hangers and stacks in search of some clothes that matched his attitude and weren’t so damn wussy. "Come on&#33; I must have something less gay than silk in here&#33;"

He began cursing not so softly to himself when all he could find was silk shirts in varying shades of purple. "Fuck&#33;" he screamed, as he threw the shirts that were in his hand against the wall. As they fluttered to the ground, a dresser in the back of the closet caught his eyes. He walked over to it and ripped open the top drawer, a slow smile spreading over his features. "Now, that&#39;s more like it," he practically purred.

Lex yanked out a well-worn pair of black jeans and a matching t-shirt. He quickly disrobed and pulled on the new gear. The shirt was a bit tight, but it only accentuated his well-muscled torso, which was fine by Lex.

He rummaged around in the remaining drawers and couldn&#39;t find any other clothes that he would even consider wearing. "Guess I need to go shopping," he muttered as he walked out of his closet....and directly into his father.

"Lex," Lionel said, testily, "one should always be aware of one&#39;s surroundings. If not, you can never know who may get the drop on you."

"Thanks for the advice, father. But I am pretty sure the only person tactless enough to barge into my bedroom would be you." Lex retorted snidely, bypassing his father as he made his way out of the bedroom.

Lionel looked after his son, unbelieving at how dismissive he had been. &#39;This won&#39;t do at all,&#39; he thought as he swiftly walked after his first born.

"Lex, I would appreciate it, if you would listen to my advice. I&#39;m only trying to help you, son," he said from the top of the stairs as Lex jogged downstairs.

"I just want to make you reach your potential. Why do you ignore me? Is it really just to spite me?"

Lex whipped around at the bottom of the stairs, staring his father down. "You...you, trying to help me?" A harsh bark of laughter escaped his throat "You are the reason I get into trouble nine out of ten times. You make it impossible for me to be seen as anything other than the town pariah. YOU tried to shut down the plant when I became too successful. YOU FUCKIN SPIED ON ME IN MY OWN HOUSE&#33; You have done NOTHING to help me or support me in ANY WAY since the day I&#39;ve been born into this world." His volume increased with every word he uttered. "Do me a favor Dad: leave my house and FUCK OFF&#33;" With that he flipped Lionel off and turned on his heel, stalking out of the mansion and to his Jag. The tires screeched viciously as he sped out of the drive way.

Lionel stood, immobilized by Lex&#39;s, words on the stairs. His mouth opened and closed a few times. "Sir," Enrique, Lex&#39;s servant came up behind him. "will you need help calling a cab?"

Lionel regained his composure and sent the man a scathing look. "I suppose I will," he said in a clipped voice. "And when I get home, my will is going to be revised."

~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~

Lex strolled through the mall, looking for some clothes that did not involve silk in any way, shape or form. He passed another store, when something in the ceiling to floor store window caught his eyes. A male mannequin was sporting tight fitting black leather pants, a simple black cotton t-shirt and, to top it off, a long black leather duster. Lex grinned. "That&#39;s more like it," he muttered under his breath, before entering the store.

A half hour later, he left the store again, carrying three large bags and a smug look on his face.

Sweeping the surroundings with a glance, his eyes landed on a nearby Starbucks and he nodded to himself, making his way through the crowds to get a caffeine fix.

Standing in the annoyingly long line, waiting for his turn, Lex surveyed the people around him, suddenly transfixed as he spotted a really cute ass some twenty feet away. He decided coffee could wait and followed the ass and its owner out of the store. "Damn hot chick" he grinned, running his tongue behind his teeth, planning how he&#39;d best make a pass on the girl in the tight jeans.

Lex watched as the girl walked out of the coffee shop and he followed after her, imagining her legs wrapped around his body. &#39;Caffeine can wait,&#39; he thought.

As Lex formulated a game plan, he enjoyed watching her hips sway back and forth in their natural rhythm. &#39;Damn, she&#39;s gonna be amazing,&#39; he thought. &#39;Enough thinking, go get her.&#39;

Lex pulled even with the girl and began to turn towards her with a faux perplexed look on his face. &#39;Playing the lost, adorable guy never fails,&#39; he thought as he spoke. "Excuse me, could you tell me where the...." his voice trailed off as he finally looked at the face of the girl he was imagining in his bed.

When the girl turned her face up to him, Lex smiled seductively. "Hello, Chloe."


"Hello, Lex," Chloe said shortly. Of their own volition, her eyes took in his new appearance. "Decided to go for a new look that went along with the town&#39;s opinion of you?" Her eyes wandered over his body, taking in his new appearance

Lex smirked when he saw her eyes widen, as her gaze landed on his tight fitting pants. "Like what you see?" He ignored her earlier comment, putting the bags on the floor and spreading his arms wide, doing a slow turn to show of his butt, certain that his physical assets would knock her socks off.

Chloe had to rip her eyes away from his tight ass, when he came full circle and faced her. She shrugged, "It&#39;s different, I&#39;ll give you that."

His eyes sparkled with mischief, as her slight blush belied her casual tone. “Oh, I&#39;m sure you could give me much more, if you just tried." He grinned at her, watching her face turn a deeper shade of red. "And I&#39;d be more than willing to take it." He winked at her.

Chloe burst out laughing. She couldn&#39;t help it. Lex seemed so off and the words that were coming out of his mouth were ludicrous. Plus of which, the way that he was looking at her was making her nervous. The combination made it impossible for her to hold back her laughter. Lex&#39;s brows furrowed. He didn&#39;t know what exactly he had expected from her, but hysteric laughter sure wasn&#39;t on the list.

"Lex," she said, once she had regained her composure, "are you feeling alright?"

"Haven&#39;t felt this good in years." He moved closer to Chloe, placing a hand on her waist. "But don&#39;t take my word for it." he said as he pressed his body closer, causing Chloe&#39;s back to hit the wall behind her. She was now effectively trapped.


"I&#39;m fine, honestly," Lex said, leaning down so his lips were brushing against her ear, "But, if you&#39;d like, you could come back to the Manor and check me out yourself. Just to make sure"

"What the fuck, Lex what is wrong with you?" Chloe ripped herself out of his grip and stared at him confused and more than a little pissed. “First you make some accusation that I&#39;m having wild ‘oral-sex with Clark’ related dreams. Then, you call me a virgin in German," Lex&#39;s eyebrows rose up, surprised. "Yes, I know a little German. Then you embarrass Clark by pointing out the fact that he was looking down my shirt. You tell me that I don&#39;t hold a candle to Lana. And then, to top it all off, you grab my ass. So, I chalk it up to a weird day, or temporary insanity on your part. Then, you show up, maul me again and want me to give you a &#39;physical&#39;? What the fuck is going on with you?" As Lex opened his mouth, Chloe held up her hand. "You know what? Don&#39;t answer that. Cause, right about now, I honestly couldn’t give a fuck&#33;" Chloe whirled around and stalked off.


For a moment Lex was standing dumbstruck looking after her. Added to that, his pants had become rather constricting during her rant. He shook himself out of it and yelled after her. "Chloe wait." He rushed after her, coming to a stop right behind the tense girl with only a few long strides.

He leaned down to whisper in her ear again. "I&#39;ve been a good boy for long enough Chloe" He felt her shiver, as his breath brushed over her ear. "It&#39;s high time that the gloves came off. Consider yourself warned" he ended his sentence in a low growl.


“You want the gloves to come off, Mr. Luthor? Fine." With that she punched him in the gut and finally stormed off.

When he had recovered from his double take, Lex’s smile threatened to split his face. “So little Miss Sullivan likes it rough." He confidently strode back to his bags, picked them up and made his way out of the mall back to his car.

"The shirt was a bit tight, but it only accentuated his well-muscled torso, which was fine by Lex."

Chapter Three – Crap and Porn

Once in his car, Lex had to decide where to go. Home was not an option, he knew he would run into Lana and Clark at the Talon and he could not deal with them at this moment. Where could he go where he would be left blissfully alone if he told people to fuck off. "Work," he whispered and started on his way to the plant.


"Hey, Cheryl," he said, as he breezed past his secretary. "Looking hot." Lex entered his office and sat down at his desk. He opened the bottom drawer and poured himself a tall glass of whiskey. A groan escaped his lips when the intercom rang. "Yes, Cheryl," he snapped. "Um, Gabe Sullivan is here for your meeting." Lex sighed, he wasn&#39;t in the mood for this.

"Tell him I&#39;m dead," Lex replied and then heard a chuckle. He looked up and saw Gabe standing in the doorway. "Mr. Luthor, I already told him to go in," Cheryl stammered. "Yes, yes I can see that," Lex said.

Lex stood up and took Gabe&#39;s hand, and then motioned for him to sit. "Bad day?" Gabe asked.

"Just the usual," Lex shrugged it off "My father is in town, got decked by your daughter, nothing that didn&#39;t happen before."

Gabe looked confused. "Chloe hit you? Why would she do that?"

"Oh we had a run in at the mall and apparently I said something that made her lose our verbal judo, so she decided to storm off instead." Lex leaned back in his chair, deciding to see where this little chat would take him. He wasn&#39;t that keen on actually working, anyway.

Gabe chuckled. "Yeah, Chloe&#39;s not really fond of losing. It seems that the harder you push her, the more she won&#39;t give in. Stubborn as a mule," he said, with a proud smile on his face. “What did you say to her?”

&#39;Interesting&#39; Lex filed the thought away for later use. "Huh" His eyes snapped back up to Gabe, he hadn&#39;t caught the man&#39;s last question.

Gabe repeated his question, "What did you say to her that made her resort to attempting to thrash you?"

&#39;Oh fuck&#39; Now he had succeeded to talk himself into a trap. Gabe saw the look of panic spread across his boss&#39; face and he quickly spoke, "I&#39;m only asking because she&#39;s coming over here to pick me up. And, if she kills you, I&#39;m out of a job."

"Oh, believe me, that won&#39;t happen. I&#39;m sure she has calmed down by now." Lex smirked, glad that Gabe had so obviously given him an out.

"I hope you&#39;re right," Gabe said as he shuffled his papers around. "For your own sake," he muttered. "Now, shall we talk about next week&#39;s presentation?"

&#39;Blargh&#39; Lex thought, but nodded anyway. "Sure, gimme what you got." He tried to look interested , while all he wanted was to be left alone, maybe watch some porn from his hidden stash at the small TV that was used for presentation video material.

Just as Gabe was about to start on his rant, the thought of porn made Lex decide to forget about this whole report deal. "Gabe, why don&#39;t we forget about the crap and deal with it another time? I really don&#39;t feel like digging through it now."

Gabe was puzzled, to say the least. Only yesterday Lex had asked him to stay late so he could work on the presentation, stressing to Gabe how important it was. "Um, sure, Lex, if you say so. But, don&#39;t you think we should at least go over it, briefly. I just want to make sure that you know all the stats so you can answer any questions that may come up."

Gabe watched as Lex rolled his eyes and sat back in his chair, placing his feet on the desk. That was when Gabe noticed what Lex was wearing. His puzzlement turned to worry. He had heard too many of his daughter&#39;s theories about strange occurrences in the town to just brush off Lex&#39;s behavior.

"Lex," Gabe said, intently looking at his boss," are you feeling alright?"
Lex snorted at the question. "Funny the concern for me must run in your family, Chloe asked me exactly the same earlier in the mall. And As I told her, I&#39;m fine" He stressed the word out. "Don&#39;t worry Gabe, I have everything under control."

&#39;Chloe noticed it, too,&#39; Gabe thought. Wishing, briefly, that his daughter was here to fill him in on what she had witnessed of Lex&#39;s behavior. "Ok, if you say so. I guess we&#39;re done here, then. Is there anything else you need from me?"

"Nope, that should be all. I&#39;ll see you later?" Lex asked, already searching for the key to his hidden porn stash.

"Sure I&#39;ll be back." Gabe replied. When Lex thought he was out of earshot, he let go of a long breath. "Escaped the Gabeinator once more."


"The Gabeinator," Gabe said. &#39;He&#39;s gone insane,&#39; he thought. &#39;Or, it&#39;s those damn rocks that Chloe keeps talking about. Gabe quickly took out his cell phone and dialled his daughter&#39;s cell. "Hi, honey, it&#39;s me. Fine, and you? Good, good. Listen could you come to the plant right now. It&#39;s sort of an emergency. Great, honey. See you soon." His disconnected the phone and walked over to a confused looking Cheryl.

"Cheryl," he said. "If anyone calls for Lex take a message. If he has any other appointments, reschedule them." She nodded at his commands. Gabe looked over at his boss&#39; closed door and then back at Cheryl. "And if he tries to leave, call me immediately and stall him." When he saw the look she was giving him, he smiled his most charming smile and said, "We really need to get this report out and I need Lex here." Cheryl smiled back and nodded. Gabe quickly made his way to the parking lot to wait for his daughter.



A few minutes later Chloe pulled into the plant parking lot and saw her father pacing by the doorway. She had barely gotten out of the car when he started asking her questions, "What happened to Lex? Do you think it has to do with those rocks? And, honey, haven&#39;t we talked about hitting other people when you get mad?"

"Dad, breathe." Chloe looked at her father, taking in his panicked state and couldn&#39;t make any sense of his rapid babbling. "Daddy, slow down and tell me what happened."

Gabe nodded and said, "He called me The Gabeinator." Chloe blinked, once, then twice. Her eyebrows arched highand the corners of her lips started to twitch.

"Honey, did you hear me? He called me THE GABEINATOR&#33;&#33;&#33; And that&#39;s after he made some crap jokes and didn&#39;t want to look at the very important report that he has to deliver in a few days. Plus, he&#39;s wearing all black so I&#39;m thinking that he touched a rock, he lost his mind and is now evil. Honey, we&#39;ve got to do something. Do you know how to fix him?" Gabe pleaded, looking hopefully at his daughter.

Chloe blinked again, before breaking into a roaring laughter, doubling over and holding her stomach. "The...the…Gabein…nator," she wheezed out between her laughter. "Priceless, why did I never get the idea?" When she took in the look of her Dad, somewhere between desperate and insulted she quickly sobered.

"Chloe," Gabe said, and was horrified at the distinctly whiney tone it had, "this isn&#39;t funny. We have got to do something. If Lex continues acting like this, he&#39;ll blow the presentation, people will lose faith in him and I&#39;m sure Lionel Luthor will find some way to take this place over. Do you want that to happen?"

Chloe was completely sober again at his words. "Shit." she muttered. "Ok, we gotta do something. I mean he was acting weird all day, but that really takes the cake." She started pacing in front of her Dad, mulling over the options in her brain, muttering out a few words here and there.

"Ok, uhm would anyone notice if you take over command of the crap factory for a few days? I mean it&#39;s Thursday, so I hope we can get this sorted out over the weekend." She looked at her Dad for confirmation, a plan already beginning to form in her mind.

"No, it wouldn&#39;t be out of the ordinary for Lex to delegate his responsibilities to me while he was away somewhere. But, Chloe, we&#39;d need Lex to send out a memo saying so. And, what, exactly, are we going to do with Lex, tie him up and keep him stashed in a room somewhere," he looked at his daughter.

"No, not exactly." Chloe grinned a wicked mental image running through her mind at the thoughts of a tied down Lex, preferably naked &#39;Get a grip, Chloe&#33;&#39; she scolded herself. "I&#39;ll make sure he sends out the memo, then I&#39;m going to get him to the mansion and keep him there, for as long as it takes. If you&#39;re alright with it that is."

"No, I&#39;m not Ok with my teenage daughter being alone with my crazy boss in his mansion, but we don&#39;t have much choice now, do we," he said, sighing. "Just be careful. And, how are you going to get him to write the memo? Should I come with you," he asked.

"No, I don&#39;t think that&#39;s necessary," she answered, knowing for a fact that her Dad wouldn&#39;t like what she may have to do to get her will. "You go make sure that the presentation is all in order and maybe delayed to later next week?" She sent a hopeful look his way, hoping for both of them that he could buy them more time, if she couldn&#39;t get this problem solved come Monday.

Gabe nodded. "Ok, at least that will give me something productive to do." He walked towards the front door and held it open for Chloe. They boarded the elevator and rode up to the floor that Lex&#39;s office was on.

"Cheryl," Gabe said as he approached the secretary&#39;s desk, "Chloe has to ask Lex a few quick questions for the school paper. While she&#39;s doing that, you want to join me for a cup of coffee." Gabe held out his hand and when Chloe smiled encouragingly at her, she took it. "Sure," she said, slowly. "But, what if the phone rings?" "I&#39;ll get it," Chloe said, helpfully. Cheryl nodded and left the room with Gabe. Chloe squared her shoulders and knocked on the door to Lex&#39;s office.

When Lex heard the knock on his door, he rolled his eyes. The stars of the movie were just about to get it on on a pool table and he had immersed in some vivid images of himself and a certain blonde in that situation. &#39;Why always me?&#39; he grumbled inwardly.

"What is it?" He shouted, knowing that nobody would dare to enter his room, without being told to do so.

Chloe heard Lex bellow at her. &#39;Nice manners,&#39; she thought. "It&#39;s Chloe, Lex," she said with her hand on the doorknob, "Can I come in?"

Lex grinned, and evil glint coming to his eye. "Sure Chloe, if you won&#39;t mind what you see."

Chloe rolled her eyes at the comment, &#39;What am I getting myself into,&#39; she thought, and then entered the room.
Immediately upon entering, she heard groaning and her head whipped around to the screen of the small television. She gasped, but quickly recovered. "Well," she said, craning her neck to the side, "*That* doesn&#39;t look very comfortable."

Lex was amazed that she seemed to take it in strides. "Believe me, it feels better than it looks by a long shot, you&#39;ll find out when you try it." He smirked at her.

Chloe knew that she was here to do a job but she couldn&#39;t help but respond to Lex&#39;s words. "What makes you think I haven&#39;t already? Maybe the pool table I was on had better felt."

"Maybe, or maybe you&#39;re just trying to throw me off by implying you were more experienced in the field of sexual intercourse than you actually are." Lex shot back smoothly.

"Sexual intercourse," she said, smiling. "Jeez, Lex, you sound like a textbook. I&#39;m surprised you ever get any with lines like that. Now, if we could discuss why it is that I&#39;m here," she said, trying to get down to business.

"Oh you don&#39;t like the words I&#39;m using?" Lex rather wanted to latch on to the more interesting topic. He already had a nagging feeling, why she was there. "Would you like it better if I used the word fucking? Or banging, or how about the British version. Shagging." His voice took on a British accent for a second before he continued in his usual tone. "Or are you the romantic type and rather think of it as making love." With the last words he fixed her in an intense gaze.


"Lex, personally, it doesn&#39;t matter what words come out of his mouth. It&#39;s the man that I&#39;m more interested, not his vocabulary. Now, as I said before, aren&#39;t you going to ask me why I&#39;m here," Chloe said, testily. She didn&#39;t like where this conversation was going. She decided that she should put some space between herself and Lex in case he decided to get all touchy-feeling again. She walked over to the black leather couch that was the farthest piece of furniture from where Lex was seated and sat down, placing her jacket beside her.


Heaving a long, suffering sigh, Lex conceded. "Ok, why are you here, Chloe?" His eyes traveled to her legs for a moment, appreciating the view as she crossed them. He leaned back in his seat waiting for her to continue.

Chloe wasn&#39;t sure which tactic she should take. She could just tell him that she was here to take him back to his place, but, then she wasn&#39;t really sure how she could work the whole memo thing into her speech. While, in this instance, she didn&#39;t think honesty was the best policy, she seemed to be stuck with it.

Lex looked expectantly at her, while she seemed lost in some internal debate. She probably didn&#39;t even realize the frown on her face, or the fact that she was nibbling on her bottom lip. He looked her dead in the eyes as she started to speak.

"My father heard your little nickname for him," she said and couldn&#39;t help the huge grin that crossed her face. "And, based upon that and the way that you handled yourself during you meeting, he&#39;s worried about you. And, he&#39;s not the only one." Chloe looked up at Lex, locking eyes with him.

"I know you may not realize it, but you&#39;re acting rather strangely. Not like yourself at all. According to my father, this is a most inopportune time for this to be happening. So, I&#39;m here to ask you to let my father run the company for the last few days. There&#39;s some memo you have to write and then he&#39;ll be glad to take over until we get whatever this is," she said, motioning to Lex, "figured out." Chloe looked at Lex nervously, trying to figure out how he was going to take her request.

Lex regarded her, trying hard to suppress a smile. "What if I don&#39;t want to do that?" She didn&#39;t have to know that he had thought about taking a vacation himself.

"Then I have no doubt that you will continue to run this company with the same lackadaisical style you&#39;ve used today until you run it into the ground. Or, until your father sees what you&#39;re doing and takes it over," Chloe leaned forward on the couch. "Is that what you want, Lex? Either way you look like a fool."

Lex narrowed his eyes at her. &#39;Damn, she&#39;s too smart.&#39; "Ok, and if I concede? You inferred that &#39;we&#39; would figure &#39;it&#39; out. Assuming that there is an &#39;it&#39; to figure out, why would I want you and your friends going after it. Wouldn&#39;t it be a given, that whatever you find out is plastered over the newspapers come morning?"

"I hadn&#39;t even *thought* of that," Chloe said, angrily. Though, she was more angry at herself. She had been so concerned about Lex after her dad had explained what was going on that she hadn&#39;t even considered that it would make an excellent piece.

"Lex," she said, sighing and rubbing her temple. "I give you my word that I won&#39;t print a word of what goes on. If you want me to sign something, I&#39;ll agree to that, too. As for my friends, well, we&#39;ll try to keep them out of this for as long as possible. But, I can&#39;t promise that they won&#39;t be involved."

He pondered his options for a moment before giving in, a little. "One condition."


Chloe perked up at his words, she hadn&#39;t expected him to be so rational about the whole thing. "Name it," she said.

His eyebrow rose &#39;Oh the possibilities&#39;. "You move in with me." He stated calmly, sitting back in a relaxed manner, expecting a rather violent outburst from her.

Chapter Four – Sealing the Deal

Chloe sat back in the plush leather. &#39;He thinks I&#39;m going to freak out,&#39; she thought, rather pleased that she had already known that she would have to do so. "Ok," she said, casually. She had to stifle her laughter at the look on Lex&#39;s face. She walked over to his desk. "Now, write the memo. We&#39;ll have my dad circulated it and then we can leave."

Lex was stunned. She had really agreed, just like that? He had already started to make up a reasonable explanation for his condition and she&#39;d gone and simply agreed. &#39;What the..?&#39; He shook it off and booted his laptop. "Not necessary, I can send it to the head staff myself from here." He called up his mail program and quickly jotted down the needed note, forwarding it to the board members. "Done." He said, when it was sent. Lex quickly closed the laptop, standing up and motioning for the door with his arm. "Shall we?"

Chloe nodded as she walked over to the couch and picked up her bag. "I need to stop by my house to pick up some stuff. I&#39;ll meet you back at the Manor. Or, are you going to be all nuts and demand to come with me because you don&#39;t trust me," she asked, crossing her arms.

"Actually, no. But I was going to offer you a ride, since your father will have to stay here longer and will need the car to get home later." Lex smirked, knowing that Chloe probably had forgotten all about that.

"Well, fuck," Chloe said, earning a laugh from Lex. "As much as I had to admit it, you&#39;re right. Ok, take me home, Jeeves."

Lex still grinned as he followed Chloe out of his office, into the elevator and to his car. He opened the passenger door for her and chuckled at the death glare she was sending him. When Lex settled himself in the driver&#39;s side Chloe said, "You are aware that I&#39;m capable of operating the intricacies of a door handle, right?"

"Of course, but if I hadn&#39;t opened the door for you, you would have criticised my rude manners, so I thought this was the better option." Lex smirked at her, starting the car and pulling out of the parking lot.

Chloe considered what he was saying. "True," she nodded. Chloe looked at her watch. "Lex, you had better step on it. If we don&#39;t get to my place in twenty minutes I won&#39;t have enough time to pack before Lana gets home. Then, we&#39;d have to explain why we&#39;re shacking up."

Lex contemplated running into Lana and the possibility of earlier comments coming up, the thought was repulsing enough for him, to floor the gas pedal and speed a good 30 over the limit.

Chloe was thankful that Lex didn&#39;t fight her on it, just did as she asked. &#39;Probably be the last time that happens,&#39; she thought as she looked at the landscape that was flying by at what was most likely a very dangerous speed. She crossed her legs and sighed, thinking about just how bad an idea this had been.

When he heard the small sound coming from the passenger seat, Lex let his eyes wander to Chloe for a second and appreciated what the view. She was facing out the window, her neck craned as she followed the landscape. Her skirt had ridden up slightly and a lot of her smooth legs was now revealed to him. His hands itched to touch the exposed skin.

However, she also felt the delicious heat, that she now associated with being under Lex&#39;s gaze, course through her body. Her body won out and she said nothing to Lex and refrained from fixing her skirt. &#39;Yup. Worst. Idea. Ever.&#39;

Lex returned his eyes to the street and realized that they were already in the street that led to the Sullivan residence. A few minutes later, he put the car in park on the drive way and got out of the car, intending to open Chloe&#39;s door for her. His plans were thwarted, however, as Chloe was already halfway to the entrance, when he arrived at the passenger side, digging her keys out of her purse.

Chloe quickly jammed the key in the lock, threw her bag on couch and began to run up the stairs, she stopped, briefly as she yelled, "Don&#39;t get too comfortable, we need to be out of here in ten minutes," over her shoulder. She just prayed that Lex had heard her as he approached the open door.

Lex wandered aimlessly around the living room, taking in the simple but obviously comfortable furniture and the oddments and photos scattered over the place. Walking over to the fire place, he picked up a photo, held in a simple silver frame that sat on the mantel.

The picture showed a girl, about the age of five, with shoulder length blonde hair and big hazel eyes, smiling directly into the camera. She was wearing jeans and a ‘Mickey Mouse’ shirt and had a rather large notebook in her tiny hands. A pencil was tucked behind her right ear.


Lex smiled at the picture, before he put it back in its place. He turned around at the sound of hurried footfalls, coming down from the stairs. He looked up to see the same girl from the picture, now a woman, hurrying down the stairs a duffle bag in hand. The same impressive hazel eyes fixed on him with a curious look.

Chloe couldn&#39;t place the look on Lex&#39;s face. "What," she said, defensively, "are you hatching some evil plan in that head of yours?" She smiled at him as she grabbed her bag off of the couch. "Cause if you are, you&#39;re going to have to work out the kinks in the car. We have to leave now." Chloe started walking towards the door.
Lex simply smiled and proceeded to the door, holding it open for her.

When they exited the house, the sun was already setting and the sky had turned a deep purple over their heads. They got into the car and Lex sped to the mansion, intending to get home, before night would completely consume them.


Chloe noticed that Lex had been extraordinary quiet on the way to the Manor. Frankly, it freaked her out. She had to admit that she preferred the over the top Lex to brooding Lex. He opened the door to the house for her and took her bag.

Lex was still comparing the girl on the picture to the girl next to him. She was still that girl in so many ways, yet not at all in others. With a sigh he shrugged it off and came back to matters at hand. "It&#39;s late. I suggest we go to bed. Come on, I&#39;ll show you your room."

Chloe silently followed Lex up the stairs, wondering where the sudden mood swing had come from. She followed him down a long corridor and he opened the door to a room. It was a massive bedroom, complete with an attached bathroom.

"Wow," Chloe said as she took in her surroundings. "Impressive, Lex. Though, I&#39;m surprised that you didn&#39;t cook up some scheme to get me into your bedroom."

“Well, actually this is my bedroom." He grinned as she whipped around on him. Chloe’s mouth dropped open, but she quickly slammed it shut again. He continued. "Or rather, it was, before I moved on to the next one to the left of this. It has more space and I wanted a bigger bed." Lex smirked as he watched Chloe trying to digest the information.

Chloe exhaled the breath that she had been holding and shook her head at Lex. She walked over to him, pulling herself to her full height. "You were this close," she said, holding her thumb and pointer finger an inch apart, "to getting a beat down, buddy."

"Oh, I didn&#39;t think you were into *that* kink. Though, I probably should have guessed it after this afternoon." He grinned at her, before he turned on his heel and made his way out of the room. "Goodnight Chloe and sweet dreams."

Chloe actually found herself stamping her foot like a small child. She couldn&#39;t believe that she hadn&#39;t been able to come up with a come back. It pissed her off. Plus of which, she now had some rather interesting mental pictures of Lex in her head. She flopped down on the bed. She sat up quickly when she remembered that Lex used to sleep in it. "How am I ever supposed to get to sleep tonight,&#39;" she asked the empty room.


tbc....

[Blaire023]

"You aren&#39;t, I thought maybe Yahtzee was in order." Lex swings the door open almost violently and tosses the game box onto the bed.

~Sorry, had to.

Course I could have done a whole smut scene from that point in this little box here.

Great chapter girls. And though I, too, love over-the-top Lex, I have to say I have a thing for broody Lex. Just makes me wanna nibble at him until he tells me what he&#39;s thinking about.

[Calliope]

Would Chloe and Lex&#39;s rooms happening to have an adjoining door. &#39;Cuz that might come in handy, if one wanted to visit the other. To talk. Or something. ;)

You know, nightmares are terrible things. I always get nightmares when I have to sleep in a different bed, and after a nightmare you just have to go and snuggle with someone else to make it all better again....

Hehe, anyway, as always I loved this chapter. You are two very talented ladies.

I agree, I like broody Lex but personally I prefer octopus Lex - makes for more Chlexy goodness. :chlexsign2:

[drina]

maybe watch some porn from his hidden stash at the small TV

LEX with PORN??? LOL


His eyebrow rose &#39;Oh the possibilities&#39;. "You move in with me." He stated calmly, sitting back in a relaxed manner, expecting a rather violent outburst from her.


Great that he&#39;s following her wishes...heehee

Chapter Five - Twisted Situations


Lex looked at his watch for what had to be the tenth time in as many minutes. He was bored and knew that his favorite source of entertainment was still asleep. In his house, down the hall, almost in his reach.

He drummed his fingers on the mahogany table and muttered, "How the hell can she be sleeping at ll am on a Friday?"
Lex slammed his hands on the table, deciding it was time to wake the sleeping beauty. He snickered as an evil thought crossed his mind.

He got up and strode out of the dining room, a determined expression edged on his features. Taking the stairs two at a time, he made his way towards his bedroom. More specifically, what was usually his bedroom, when it wasn&#39;t currently overtaken by the snarky blonde reporter that was now sleeping in his bed. When he reached the gigantic double doors that lead into the room, he silently creaked one of them open, gliding inside soundlessly and slowly made his way over to the king size four-poster.

When Lex stood beside the bed he took a minute to just stare at Chloe&#39;s sleeping form. She was curled up to a ball, her limbs tangled in the sheets on long smooth leg exposed to his view and her face pressed deeply into the pillow under her head. Her hair was mussed and her eyes flicked from left to right under her closed lids. She was beautiful. Lex leaned down, poising his lips right above her ear, inhaling her scent through his nose.

Lex smiled "Chloe, watch out a Meteor Freak." He hissed, non too silently into her ear.

Chloe jumped a mile into the air and the sheets fell down to her waist, exposing the rather generous cleavage of her night gown. She frantically looked around her, tangling the sheets even more around her legs. When her eyes finally fell on Lex, her expression quickly turned from shocked to furious.

"You asshole" she screamed at him. However, when she tried to lunge at him, the sheets hindered her movement, and she tumbled from the bed, her face and upper body on the floor and her legs still trapped beneath the restraining fabric on the mattress.

Lex, who had taken a few steps back when she had attacked, was now standing in the middle of the room, holding his stomach and laughing like a madman. When he caught her eyes however, the laughter quickly died down to a quiet chuckle, before his eyes caught something else

Due to her obviously uncomfortable position and a lot of squirming on her part, the lower part of her body was now exposed to his view. Her night gown had ridden up and he could see the delicious curve of her ass, veiled only by the thin lacy material of her panties. A mischievous sparkle lit up in his eyes.

Chloe noticed the change and even more, she noticed that her ass was now exposed and vulnerable, when she felt her lower body chilling. She shot him a death glare. "Don&#39;t you dare even think about it Luthor, or I will sue you for all that you are worth, I swear," she bit out the words.

Lex just grinned at her. Then he remembered something she had said at the mall. "You said yourself you wanted the gloves to come off. Or at least, you agreed to it. Plus I owe you one for the blow to the gut that really wasn&#39;t the style of a lady." He came closer, careful to evade the reach of her arms.

He walked around the bed, crawling on the mattress behind her. Chloe craned her neck, to continue her shooting daggers at him with her gaze. "I warn you, Luthor, don&#39;t&#33;" Lex smirked and raised his hand. Chloe’s eyes widened as his hand came rushing down towards her left cheek.

"Lex&#33;" she shrieked, her eyes slamming shut as she expected the sting of the slap. That never came.

An inch above her skin his hand stilled, then came into contact with her skin in a light pat, before he took the hem of her gown, pulling it down over her curves with a last longing glance &#39;You&#39;ll get there sooner or later&#39; he thought.

Lex slowly gripped her hips and pulled her back onto the mattress. She whipped around facing him with blazing eyes. Her breathing was labored and he&#39;d bet a hundred that she was counting to ten, to keep from strangling him right where they sat.
Chloe smiled sweetly at him and noticed that his self-assured smirk faltered. She saw confusion flit across his face and took that opportunity to enact the plan that she had hatched. She swiftly whipped her pillow around, whapping Lex directly in the face with it.

Before he could defend himself, Chloe repeated the action, harder. "If you EVER do that again. I. will. end. you." Every word was punctuated with a blow to Lex&#39;s face. Feathers were literally flying around the room from the force of her assault on Lex.

After Lex got over his initial shock, he got his hands free and gripped her hips, flipping them over, so that Chloe now had to press the pillow up, to defend herself.

"Oh, no, you don&#39;t," Chloe panted out. She wriggled under his body, trying to find some leverage so she could flip them back over. However, Lex&#39;s weight combined with the fact that she now had to defend herself with the pillow made that feat next to impossible.

Lex suddenly found himself in the cradle of her legs. Both of them went absolutely still as Lex’s more than slightly erected cock came into contact with her crotch. He gazed into her eyes, knowing that his must already have taken a darker shade with his arousal so obvious, and just where he wanted to be. "Chloe" His voice was husky and he waited for her reaction, her eyes were a little glazed over, but focused intensely on him.

Chloe had to stifle a groan when she felt Lex pressed against her. It took all of the self-control she possessed not to thrust herself against Lex. She realized that she had to get out of this situation quickly. She threw the pillow aside and scooted away from Lex until her back was pressed against the headboard. "So, what have your minions whipped up for breakfast," she asked, wincing at the sound of her husky voice.

"Uhm Coffee and bagels, I think." His mind wasn&#39;t functioning to properly, he couldn&#39;t even clearly remember what was on the table he had sat at not longer than a few minutes ago. &#39;Get a grip Luthor&#39; he inwardly scolded himself.

Chloe was also having a conversation with herself. &#39;Remember, something is *wrong* with Lex, that&#39;s why he&#39;s acting like this.&#39; "Sounds good," she said as she slid out of the bed. "I&#39;ll meet you in the dining room after I get dressed," she said, now rummaging around in her bag for her clothes in order to avoid direct eye contact with him.


"ARGH," Chloe screamed for the umpteenth time. She glared at Lex, "Why can&#39;t you just answer a simple question? We&#39;ve been at this for an hour and I still have no information on anything. When this happened, who was around, where it happened. Lex, we need to figure this out in order to fix you."

The twosome, after an awkward breakfast, had adjourned to one of Lex&#39;s numerous studies. Chloe was hell-bent on solving the mystery as soon as possible. But, Lex, it seemed, had other ideas.

Lex grinned at her. Early on into their research, he had reclined into a big comfortable leather couch from where he watched Chloe ranting and raving, whisking through the study and trying to figure out what had happened to him. He found himself entertained and more than a little aroused at the view. Every once in a while, she would stop her rants and face him, her eyes blazing. She would try to get answers from him, while his black jeans got uncomfortably tight under her gaze, asking always the same questions. Lex was getting horny and the body hugging white t-shirt did nothing to hide it. "Chloe, I&#39;ve already told you, I can&#39;t remember anything," he said, smirking at her. "However, my memory *might* be jogged by some physical activity. That is, if you&#39;re game."

Chloe glared suspiciously at Lex. "Fine, what do you have in mind? But, I swear if it involves ANYTHING I saw in your office at the plant yesterday, you will be very sorry." She crossed her arms and locked eyes with Lex.

"Oh, I could never be sorry if it involved that." He grinned at her "Anyway that was not what I had in mind, or not the only thing I had in mind." Lex chuckled at the death glare she was sending him.

"I&#39;m losing what little patience I have for you, Lex. So, tell me what will help to jog your memory NOW or I&#39;ll just beat the answers out of you," Chloe gritted the last few words through her teeth.

A few interesting mental images flashed through his mind at her last comment and he wriggled slightly before he answered her. "I found this game in the servant’s quarters, back when Amy and her family moved out. I never got around to throwing it away and it seems interesting." Chloe made some impatient motions with her hand, indicating for him to get to the point already. "I found it in a cardboard box, so I don&#39;t know what it’s called, but it has that mat with colored dots and a spinner that tells you where to put your feet and hands.”

Lex knew very well that he was describing Twister and what the game was about. He just figured he’d have a better chance, playing the innocent poor rich kid.

"You want to play Twister," Chloe asked, her voice rising with each passing word. She shook her head. "Of all the damn games his minions could have had," she said, to no one in particular. She leaned down, hoping that Lex wouldn&#39;t take the opportunity to look down her rather low-cut purple tank top. She put her hands on the armrests of the chair so she could look Lex directly in the eyes.

"I&#39;ll do it," she said. "On one condition. I want your word that after we&#39;ve finished a game your memory will clear up and you will be able to answer my questions."

Lex smirked, "Deal." He looked up at her, a mischievous little sparkle in his eyes. He lifted his hand, holding it out for her to shake.

Chloe grasped his hand, firmly, and shook it. Lex tried to pull his hand back, but Chloe held tight. She roughly pulled him to his feet and said, "Go, get the game, I&#39;ll be waiting." She grasped his shoulders, using them to spin him around and then pushed him to the door.

Lex let himself be ushered out the door, grinning at her brusqueness. That woman was set out to get what she wanted. "Good to know you wait for me."

"Well, it&#39;s not as if I&#39;m going to play with myself," Chloe said, clapping a hand over her mouth the instant the words were out of it.

Lex whipped around at that statement shooting her an evil grin. "You know that you just left yourself open for a probably really embarrassing sexual innuendo, right? But the gentleman I am, I won&#39;t say anything, and just go and get the game." He grinned smugly at her, before he turned around again and walked out of the study, shaking his head and laughing under his breath.

Chloe let out the breath she had been holding, thankful that Lex had let that one slide. However, she found that she couldn&#39;t help but being disappointed at the same point. Which then made her angry with herself. "You don&#39;t *want* him coming on to you, remember," she asked herself. But, she found, she wasn&#39;t so sure of the answer anymore.

A few minutes later, Lex entered the room with a simple cardboard box. When he placed the box on the floor and pulled out the mat, Chloe saw that it was a little faded out, the script on the side giving away the name almost completely rubbed off.

"Here we go," he said, spreading the mat on the parquet.

Chloe watched with amusement as Lex carefully laid the mat down on the floor, making sure that it was flat and even. Afterwards, he stretched out on the mat, resting on his back and looked up at Chloe, raking his eyes over her body. This time, Chloe would not be thrown by the obvious lust she could see. She was about to score a point in their match.

“So, brainiac, who the hell is gonna spin the wheel," she asked, breaking out into a grin when she saw Lex&#39;s face fall. She was sure that he had imagined all sorts of lurid things happening between them on the board and was delighted to burst his bubble.

Lex contemplated for a minute. &#39;Shit, she&#39;s got a point there&#39;. A wicked grin spread over his face as the answer came to him. "Give me a second." He held up a finger, before getting up from the mat. Lex confidently walked over to his desk, pushing the button for the intercom. "Enrique, if you please could come up here, we will need your help with something,"

"Please tell me that you do not have a special minion just to help you play board games. Cause, Lex, that&#39;s just sad," Chloe said, joking. Her laughter doubled when she saw the very proper looking man, dressed in a penguin suit, enter the study. She couldn&#39;t wait for Lex to explain why he needed his help.

Lex grinned at her before turning to Enrique. "This might seem kind of odd, and is in no way a part of your usual work." His eyes briefly flitted over to Chloe. "But we need your help with something. Miss Sullivan and I are going to engage in a round of this game." He motioned to the mat and spinner. "But apparently we are going to need a third person to spin, so if you don&#39;t mind. You will have to spin the wheel for us." Lex finished smoothly, as if it was the most normal thing in the world to ask of a servant.

Chloe found the whole scene *highly* amusing. Enrique nodded and walked smoothly over to where the spinner sat on Lex&#39;s desk. Lex walked over to the board and motioned for Chloe to join him there. She was laughing softly to herself. She could not believe that she was about the play Twister with Lex Luthor in his study with his manservant calling out the moves. She strained her ears, listening if she could hear the Twilight Zone theme playing. Chloe was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of Lex&#39;s voice directly in her ear.

"Be prepared to lose Sullivan, I&#39;m gonna have you pinned to the mat in no time flat." He smirked as a shiver ran down her spine at his words.

"Really, Luthor," she questioned, turning to face him. "Cause I think that I&#39;m gonna end up on top."

Lex fought down the urge to adjust his pants and smirked at her "Fine by me, I like a woman that takes control."

Chloe managed an eye roll before Enrique called out the first move. She sighed and then said, "Lex, we never decided who was going to go first."

"Ladies first, if that isn’t to archaic for you." He shot back.

"Fine by me. Prepare to be decimated and humiliated in front of the help," she said as she put her right foot on the red dot at the bottom of the mat.

"Oh, I don&#39;t think I will be the one to end up humiliated here." Lex grinned, moving his left foot onto the yellow dot at the bottom as per the instruction Enrique called out.

"Lex, you don&#39;t think that Spinny over there is going to keep his mouth shut about your evil self playing a child&#39;s game, do you," she asked. "I mean, *if* I hadn&#39;t agreed not to do a story, this little insanity would be in the lead paragraph." Chloe&#39;s brow furrowed when she heard the next move. "Left hand, Blue," Enrique called out. Chloe placed her left hand on the third blue dot from the bottom. She now had her back turned to Lex and was none too thrilled about it.

Lex admired the view of her ass, clad in form fitting khaki Capri pants, stretched out in front of him. "Oh I&#39;m sure Enrique will keep this secret, considering that he&#39;s going to find a major bonus on his next paycheck. Right Enrique?" He turned to the man in question, who spun the wheel with a broad smile on his face. "Of course, Sir. And right hand yellow."

Chloe turned her head, ready to give a quick retort when she noticed how close Lex&#39;s face was to her own. She quickly turned away, finally realizing just how much trouble she was in.

"What, having trouble already Chloe?" Lex grinned, sure that she didn&#39;t have trouble with the game, but rather with being in close quarters. &#39;I knew I had an effect on her&#39;

"No," she said, snapping her head back to meet his eyes. "I was just thinking that it must be very uncomfortable to rest *all* of your body weight on your non dominant hand. I hope that it&#39;s not uncomfortable for you." She smiled sweetly at him.

Chloe craned her head around and nodded at Enrique, signaling that she was ready to move again. "Right hand, Blue," he said. Chloe had to turn her upper body slightly in order to get comfortable in her position as she placed her right hand on the dot directly above her left. She flicked her hair out of her eyes and laughed when it clipped Lex in his eye.

Lex used his free hand to rub his eyes. He shot a glare at her, before he answered. "That I am left handed doesn&#39;t mean my right hand gets no training at all you know?" He smiled knowingly at her before he followed Enrique&#39;s direction and put his left foot on the green dot at the bottom.

"Lex, does the phrase too much information mean anything to you," Chloe said. Her smile quickly faded when she heard her next move called out. "Left foot, Yellow." She saw that Lex&#39; foot was currently on the green circle. She realized that when she moved her body, her legs would be spread from one end of the board to the other. Which would, in turn, cause her to be trapped *under* Lex&#39;s torso.

Lex smirked as he took in her current position, legs spread wide and her body beneath his &#39;Please, god do something useful and gimme a right hand red’.

"Right hand, Red." Enrique’s voice called out from his desk. "Remind me to donate money to the church tomorrow," Lex commented offhandedly while he draped his arm over Chloe&#39;s body, putting it on the red field right to her left hand. She was now completely trapped under him, his chest pressed to her back.


Half an hour later, Chloe was beginning to get worried. She had thought that she would have been able to beat Lex rather soundly in a short amount of time. However, she was now panting and sweating from the effort of keeping her quivering muscles from collapsing. And she hated to admit it, but the position they were both in was doing nothing to help the situation. Chloe was in a rather uncomfortable crab position, her back to the mat. Her left hand was placed on the second to top red dot behind her, her right on the second to top yellow.

Her legs were spread wide, as she had to put her right foot on a green dot with the last move. The muscles in her thighs started to shake as she placed her foot on the second to bottom green dot, while her left foot had to remain on the second to bottom red one. All of this would have been fine, except for the fact that Lex had maneuvered his body directly on top of hers. She jerked her head, trying to get her hair out of her eyes. When she was successful, she rolled her eyes at the sight of Lex&#39;s rather smug looking face barely two inches away from her own.

Lex&#39;s right hand was directly below Chloe&#39;s left and his left hand was above her right. His chest kept brushing up against hers and she was having an internal conversation with her body, willing it not to react to the friction that he was creating. Chloe realized that most of her concentration was not on keeping her body upright, but had been diverted to making sure her lower body remained still.

Lex&#39;s right foot was on the blue dot next to her left foot while his left foot was on the yellow dot next to her right foot. He had effectively nestled himself between her thighs, which was why she quickly shifted her eyes from his face to a spot on the ceiling. She didn&#39;t want him to see how much this position was getting to her.

"Hey, Ricky," Chloe yelled, "mind calling out another move." She was quite anxious to move ANY part of her body.

At that moment the doorbell rang. Both opponents groaned as Enrique made his way out of the room. "Sorry, the other servants are free for the weekend." Lex had the decency to look chagrined, even though he rather enjoyed their current position, except that his left hand was rather uncomfortably twisted behind Chloe&#39;s head.

Chloe opened her mouth to protest as she watched Enrique leave the room, but it was too late. Instead she just glared up at Lex. "Yeah, I bet you’re sorry," she muttered, then shifted her eyes once more to the ceiling.

Lex grinned triumphantly. "You can always just give up and let go. I bet you want to. Come on Chloe, just let go and this game is over." He knew there was no chance in hell she would give up the game, but he hoped his look made it clear, that he wasn’t just talking about that.

Chloe realized the double meaning to his words and looked back at him. Her mind refused to give in to either of the &#39;games&#39; that they were currently playing, but her body had other ideas. Unconsciously, she moved her legs wider apart, causing Lex&#39;s lower body to press down on hers, fully. Chloe could feel his arousal pressing against her and her eyes fluttered shut as a broken noise passed through her lips.

Lex had to lock his knees to keep from sinking down on them and just take her. The contact with her sweat dampened skin and the sound that had escaped her throat almost did him in. His face inched closer to hers and his breath brushed against her ear as he whispered "Chloe, come on. Forget the game." He pulled back slightly, before brushing his lips against hers.

A full-fledged moan escaped her lips when she felt Lex&#39;s hot breath on her ear. Her hips moved upwards, craving more contact with Lex&#39;s body. She almost gave in and wrapped her arms and legs around his body when she felt his lips on hers.

"OH MY GOD," a familiar voice, full of shock, cried out.

[scifichick774]

OMG indeed. How could you just leave it there? Evil you are. Okay, so it&#39;s got to be Clark, right? No one else comes to visit Lex at his house. Hee hee. Can&#39;t wait to read more of this.

:pclol: This is just HILARIOUS&#33;
"Please tell me that you do not have a special minion just to help you play board games. Cause, Lex, that&#39;s just sad," Chloe said, joking.

Can&#39;t believe that Lex actually got his minion to participate in the game too. LOL

Oh boy, and whose that voice? It sounds like it has a whining quality of a certain slug we love to squash...

A/N: Sabby: There you go, the next part. Hope we didn&#39;t disappoint. Btw Blaire, will you let me know who won the bet?

A/N: Blue: Here&#39;s the next chapter. I like it that y&#39;all are guessing about who it is, nice to know that you&#39;re all into the fic. Hope you enjoy this chapter.

Chapter Six - Ludus Interruptus

The moment was broken and Chloe felt Lex collapse on top of her. They toppled to the floor, Lex still cradled between her thighs and his erection colliding rather harshly with her crotch. A painful hiss escaped his throat, before he fixed the intruder in a death glare. "Impeccable timing, Clark, as always"

Chloe was mortified. She couldn&#39;t decide which was worse, Clark coming in and catching them or the fact that she was seconds away from letting Lex take her on a Twister mat. She pushed Lex away and rose to her feet. "Hey, Clark," she said in what she hoped was a casual tone. "What&#39;s up?"

"Uhm, I was just coming over to drop of the produce and.... What the hell were you two doing here?" Clark looked at the pair flustered and just a tad bit jealous, his eyes flicking back and forth between Chloe and Lex.

"Playing Twister," Chloe said quickly, before Lex could open his mouth. "What does it look like?" Chloe cringed after the words had left her mouth.

"Well it sure looked like you were that close to playing tonsil hockey on the floor." Clark stated, surprising both Chloe and Lex with his bluntness.

"Well, we weren&#39;t," Chloe said forcefully, looking at Lex pointedly. She looked back at Clark and muttered, "Not that it would be any of your business."

"Clark, was there anything else, you wanted?" Lex looked pointedly at the farmboy, giving him the &#39;if you know what is good for you you&#39;ll get out of here now&#39; stare.

"Uhm, actually no, there isn&#39;t uhm." Clark suddenly found a spot on the floor right between his size twelve boots very interesting.

Chloe looked expectantly at Clark, waiting for him to excuse himself so she could rip into Lex. Instead, Clark walked over to where she was standing and stepped between Lex, who was still on the mat, and herself.

Clark could sense that Lex wanted him gone, but he needed some answers from Chloe first. "Chloe, what are you doing here anyway? You haven&#39;t been to school or at the Torch, since yesterday afternoon, that’s not at all like you." Clark looked down at his good friend, worry etched on his features.

"Clark," Chloe started, grabbing her friend by his shoulders. "I need to be here now. There&#39;s a, um, situation that I need to deal with. So, just calm down." She looked down at Lex. "You wanna give me a hand here or what?"

"Clark, come on, don&#39;t you trust me? I&#39;m not gonna do anything she doesn&#39;t want here." With that he winked at Chloe.

Chloe&#39;s eyes narrowed. &#39;Why does he have to be so obstinate all the time,&#39; she thought, glaring down at Lex. Clark had turned his head to look down at Lex as well and Chloe placed her hand on his cheek to make him face her again.

"I&#39;m fine, Clark," she said, looking him directly in the eyes. "Everything here is under control." She smiled and then noticed that Clark had leaned into her hand slightly.

Lex watched the interaction between the two, feeling a pang in his chest when he realized, how close they were. A serious case of the green eyed monster was not far behind. He jumped up from the floor and grabbed Clark by the arm, pulling the boy around to face him. "Enough already. You can stop playing the hero Clark, Chloe&#39;s not a damsel in distress and I&#39;m not the big bad trying to get into her pants. What is your problem?"

Clark was taken aback by Lex&#39;s reaction. Lex didn&#39;t usually lose his cool or show his emotion but even Clark could clearly see he was getting pissed. He wrenched his arm from Lex&#39;s grasp and stood next to Chloe so he could face Lex. "I don&#39;t *have* a problem. I just wanted to make sure that Chloe was ok. I hadn&#39;t heard from her and you will admit that it&#39;s a bit strange that she would be *here* of all places. And, I might add, playing Twister with you."

Lex rolled his eyes. He was getting royally pissed with the farmboy. &#39;Why does he have to stick his nose in everybody’s business anyway&#39; "So what? She&#39;s here. She&#39;s ok, we were having fun. Don&#39;t try searching for Wall of Weird material when there is none.”

Lex wasn&#39;t the only one that was pissed. As Chloe had watched the exchange between the two of them, she had noticed that her friends had drawn closer to each other. Clark and Lex were now almost standing nose to nose. &#39;Jeez, they&#39;re like two kids fighting over a toy,&#39; she thought, which just enraged her more.

"Stop," she said, she stepped between the two men, Lex behind her and Clark facing her. She looked up at Clark, "I already told you, I&#39;m fine. Lex is fine," she glanced back at him. "Sort of," she mumbled. "So, just leave, Clark. I&#39;ll explain later, ok?"

Lex grinned smugly at Clark over Chloe&#39;s shoulder, placing his hand on the small of her back, and basked in the fact that she was telling the boy off. "See, she told you herself everything is fine. No need to get your tighty whities in a twist. I&#39;ll see you around, Clark and give my regards to your parents."

Chloe&#39;s breathing faltered when Lex touched her. It brought back the memory of having him pressed up against her. She wanted to tell him to stop with the manhandling but she could tell from the look on Clark&#39;s face that this situation needed to be diffused first.

Clark&#39;s face had turned red, with anger, not embarrassment for once and Chloe could tell that things were about to go from bad to worse. She turned around and faced Lex. "We have to tell him," she whispered.

"Why should we? I see no reason in involving other people in this. You said it would stay between you and me. If you change your mind on that one, who tells me you are not going around spreading the news, come tomorrow morning?" Lex hated the fact that she was so determined on bringing Clark into this. The last thing he needed was to have the farmboy finally catching up on the fact that Chloe was hot and definitely worth having.

"First of all, I said I would keep it secret for as long as possible. And, secondly, your point about the news spreading is exactly why we have to tell him. Think about it, he goes home and tells his dad. His dad calls mine and gets more suspicious when *my* dad gets all avoidy on the topic. Meanwhile Clark is yapping about it to Lana in the Talon, in front of the whole population of Smallville. How long do you think that it&#39;s going to be before word reaches your father that, not only are you acting strange, but that my dad is now in charge of the plant. Lex, this makes the most sense." She could see that Lex was staunchly opposed to the idea so she continued. "Plus, Clark can keep an eye out and see if anyone else is acting weird in town."

Lex gritted his teeth, but he had to concede to her arguments. "Ok, fine but could you at least try to keep your other friends out of this? Oh and I&#39;ve got another condition. Since we were so rudely interrupted during our last game, you have to agree to a new one."

Chloe groaned and her head dropped briefly onto Lex&#39;s chest. She looked back up at him, obviously put out. "Fine," she grumbled. "I&#39;ll play another game with you. Oh, and as for keeping other people out of this, you&#39;re going to have to talk to him," she said, gesturing to Clark, "about that one. Though, I think we may have to realize that he&#39;s not going to be able to keep his mouth shut when it comes to Lana."

Lex groaned, rolling his eyes. If Lana knew found out, he&#39;d have to find a damn good way to keep her mouth shut. "Ok." He turned back to Clark. "Ok Clark, listen the thing is, Chloe is convinced that there is something wrong with me, because I changed my behavior. She&#39;s not taking my word that I&#39;m fine and insists on snooping. So now you know what is going on and I hold you to your boy scout way of life to keep this a secret. Especially from Lana. Nobody needs to know about this, because it really is nothing. As you..." He looked down at Chloe who was still standing close to him. "Will soon find out."

Clark looked confused for a moment, thinking about what Lex had said. Then, he also thought about the fact that he had found Lex playing Twister on a weekday. "She&#39;s right," Clark said, earning a beaming smile from Chloe and a scowl from Lex. "You aren&#39;t exactly acting like yourself. I&#39;ll do a little snooping of my own in town." He looked at how close his friends were standing to each other, Lex&#39;s hand now on her waist. "Do you guys want me to stay here in case anything weird happens with Lex?"

"I am fine, Clark and nothing *weird* is gonna happen. You can leave us alone." Lex flashed him a look that spelled M U R D E R &#39;Heavens the boy is annoying sometimes&#39;.

"Ok," Clark said slowly as he walked to the door. "And Lex," he said, before leaving, "I was never a boy scout."

"Yeah whatever, sure act like one." Lex shrugged the last comment of and turned back to Chloe. "So, where were we?" He leaned closer to her, shooting her a suggestive little smile.

"In a heap on the floor," she said as she pushed Lex way from her body. "So, call Spinny back, we&#39;re going to need his help again." Chloe started to smooth out the mat again.

"Oh I don&#39;t think so." Lex interrupted her.

Chloe turned back towards Lex, confused. "What do you mean? You said you wanted to play another game. And, while I&#39;m no expert on the rules of Twister, we do need Spinny to, you know, spin for us."

"Come on, be serious, Chloe. Neither of us could go another round without a severe muscle cramp. I have another game in mind." He grinned at Chloe&#39;s confused and skeptic look.

Chloe stood up. "Wait, a different game, I didn&#39;t agree to that." Chloe quickly went through their previous conversation and realized that Lex had never specifically said Twister. When she realized that she said, "You bastard&#33; What are you going to make me play now? Leapfrog?"

"Hmmm that would be another possibility, but I had something else in mind. Something that tells me more about the person I&#39;m gonna spend my days and nights with for the time being." He bit the inside of his cheek as he saw her eyes flash with anger. He loved to get a rise out of her.

"There will be no night spending, Luthor," Chloe said and then saw Lex smirking at her. "Argh. You know what I mean&#33; Now, just tell me, what game are we going to play now?" Chloe was fairly certain she already knew that answer but she still had some hope that Lex wouldn&#39;t say the three words that she was dreading.

His face was completely calm as he slowly uttered the three words. "Truth. Or. Dare." He was fighting back his laughter, waiting for her to explode. Even if she didn&#39;t accept the game he would still be treated to a highly sexy pissed off Chloe.

"I knew it&#33;" Chloe practically screamed, slamming her hand down on Lex&#39;s desk. She began to pace around the room, muttering obscenities to herself. She ended up face to face with Lex and pulled herself to her full height. "Fine," she said, poking him in the chest. "But, I&#39;m only doing this to prove to you that my word means something. And, I swear, if you make me run around the Manor gardens naked I will make you rue the day. I&#39;m talking eminent rueage, buddy."

Lex couldn&#39;t hold back his laughter anymore. He was standing in front of a girl a good 5 inches smaller than him and she was getting right into his face, regardless. As soon as he had himself a little more under control he gave his answer with a grin that threatened to split his face. "Believe me Chloe, when I get you naked, the last thing I&#39;m gonna do is make you run around the gardens."

A growl escaped her throat as Chloe turned around and stalked over to the couch. "Whatever, Luthor," she said as she sat down. "Who goes first?"

Lex plopped down on the couch next to her, pulling one leg up on the couch to face her. "Seeing as you are so aggravated, you can dish first and set the stakes. Dare."

Chloe thought for a moment and then an evil grin spread across her face. "I&#39;ll be right back," she said before she ran out of the room giggling.

&#39;Oh shit, what&#39;s she up to now&#39; Chloe had disappeared so fast, he hadn&#39;t gotten a chance to see, where to, but the look in her eyes was not a good sign.

[nessa]

Chapter 7 - Roadkill and Cows (should show you how much we suck when it comes to titles)



When Chloe entered the room, her arms were behind her back. Lex craned his neck, trying to see around her. She threw the garment at Lex and said, "I dare you to wear this."

Lex’s eyes widened for a second before he regained control. "You&#39;re shitting me, right?" He looked at the blue and white striped maid&#39;s uniform with the white apron and then back at Chloe. "Since when do you have a thing for drag queens?"

Chloe still had one hand behind her back. "I don&#39;t, it&#39;s just that I think the outfit goes well with these," she said as she showed him the high heels she wanted him to wear. "Just be happy that I&#39;m not making you wax your legs."

Lex gaped at her for a second. "Where in hell did you find these?" He didn&#39;t even want to think about how he would ever get into them, not that he had any intention wearing heels, ever.

"Lex, you have dozens of servants that you see everyday, can&#39;t you place it? It&#39;s a maid&#39;s outfit, silly. Now," she said, crossing her arms over her chest, "stop stalling and put it on. Unless, that is, you&#39;re not going to do it." She looked down at him, smiling

"Fine, Sullivan. You get what you want. But I&#39;m gonna make you pay for that, dearly." Lex gritted through his teeth, yanking the uniform and heels out of her hands.

He stood up and walked a couple of steps away from the couch. Throwing the outfit aside, he ripped the t-shirt over his head and unbuttoned and unzipped his pants, all the while shooting daggers at Chloe. He was so immersed in his own anger, that he didn&#39;t realize the effect his impromptu striptease had on the girl.

Chloe knew that she should turn around but she found herself frozen in place, staring at the flesh that Lex was revealing. Lex was pissed, and she found herself getting aroused at the thought. It also didn&#39;t help that she was imagining what it would feel like to run her hands over his well muscled chest.

When his hands traveled lower and began to work on his jeans her mind screamed, &#39;Turn around, you fool&#33;&#39; But, it was only when she realized that Lex wasn&#39;t wearing underwear that she was able to obey her own command. She whipped around and tried to get herself under control.

"Damn woman, could have had me do anything and what does she do, make me cross-dress" Lex muttered under his breath while he bent down to pick up the uniform.

He stood up again, shoving his arms into the sleeves of the dress before he pulled it down over his head. Chloe couldn&#39;t help but smile as she heard Lex&#39;s words and the way that he was obviously struggling with the outfit. &#39;That&#39;s right,&#39; she thought, &#39;funny, not sexy.&#39; She burst out laughing when she realized she sounded like Homer Simpson telling himself to think unsexy thoughts.

He toed off his newly acquired sneakers and was still rambling obscenities under his breath, while he shoved down his jeans and reached for the apron. When it was finally secured around his waist and he had somehow gotten his feet into the murderous high heels, he fixed Chloe in a death glare. "There happy now?"

Chloe turned around and her laughter tripled. "Very," she was able to breathe out between laughing. "Oh, if the society pages could see Sexy Lexy now." The mental image of Lex in that outfit on the front page made her lose it again. She collapsed on the floor. Tears soon began to run down her cheeks. She realized that Lex was deadly quiet and looked up at him.

Lex growled at her, his eyes flashing with fury. "Don&#39;t. Call. Me. That." He enunciated every word clearly, already forming plans how to make her rue the day she had put him into that dress and called him *that*. He was taking several deep, calming breaths, and counting to ten, in three languages. Lex yanked the high heels from his feet, throwing them forcefully away, before he bent down and stepped back into his jeans, yanking them up to his hips roughly.
In a flash he zipped and buttoned his pants, before ripping the offending uniform off his body and throwing it right at Chloe&#39;s face. "Fine, you had your fun, now I&#39;m gonna have mine," he stated calmly. "Truth, or dare?" He retrieved his shirt from the floor and pulled it back on.

Chloe’s laughter quickly died in her throat when she looked up at Lex. He was angrier than she had ever seen him. She bit her lip, trying to think which of the options would get her in less trouble.

"Truth," she said. However, it sounded more like a question. She knew that she had made the wrong decision when she saw Lex&#39;s eyes sparkle. He stalked over to her and sat down so that they were face to face.

Oh Lex definitely had a few questions he wanted an answer for. His mind flashed back to the discussion in the Talon the day before. "So, Chloe. You never got around to telling me...Who is the star in your wildest dreams? Who is it that you want to touch and kiss, who is it that makes you dripping wet with arousal?"

Chloe couldn&#39;t help it, she began to breathe erratically. She bowed her head as she blushed to her roots. Especially, as she remembered the last dream she had had about Lex. The most humiliating part was that he was right. She had been wet when she woke up and she had had to get herself off twice before she was able to even function.

Lex was studying her intensely, waiting for an answer. He knew he could have asked the question in a less insinuating tone, but she had started it. And he really wanted to know.

Chloe licked her suddenly dry lips. "You," she said, simply, all the while staring at her hands as if they were the most interesting thing in the world.

Lex&#39;s mind did a complete shut down as he heard the word tumble from her lips. He looked at her blankly for a moment, not even processing the answer. Then "Me" Not a question, not quite a statement.

Chloe nodded once. She took a deep breath and then said, "My turn."

"Wait&#33;" Lex’s mind kicked back into gear. "Me? All of a sudden? In the Talon you said it wasn&#39;t me."

"Only one question per turn, Lex. If you can&#39;t understand the simple rules, maybe we should play a different game," Chloe said.

He grinned as the implications of her statement finally settled. &#39;So she is interested after all" he thought "Ok, Truth." He took a deep breath, preparing for her question.

“So," Chloe said, "do you think your father grows his hair so long purposely to piss you off?"

Lex blinked, "Huh?" then he snickered under his breath. "I can’t say for sure, but I wouldn&#39;t put it past him. Still, it&#39;s not really working. I prefer being bald to wearing the fur of road kill on my scalp any day." He shot back.

Chloe chuckled, glad that her question had broken, whatever tension had been hanging in the air. "I agree," she said, pretending to inspect his scalp with great interest. "This looks much better."

"And, by the way, dare," Chloe said. She wanted to try out both to see which one would be less painful.

Lex smirked at her. "I want you to stand up, go out on that balcony and shout from the top of your lungs that you wanna fuck me." He bit the inside of his lip waiting for her response. Teasing her mercilessly was quickly becoming his new hobby.

Chloe groaned and shut her eyes, letting her head fall forward until it touched the couch. She knew that it was going to be bad, but not this bad. She got to her feet and walked over to the balcony, hearing Lex&#39;s footsteps close behind her. She violently yanked open the doors and stepped outside. &#39;At least the Manor is out in the middle of nowhere,&#39; she thought before opening her lips.

She quickly closed her mouth and turned back to look at Lex, who was leaning against the doorframe. "Quick clarification, you want me to yell &#39;you wanna fuck me&#39;, right?" She smiled at him, knowing what the answer would be, but she had to point out that he hadn&#39;t stated the sentence correctly.

"My bad. I should have clarified." He came closer to her "I want you to shout &#39;I Chloe Sullivan want to fuck Lex Luthor&#39;, no paraphrasing, no leaving out words and no rushing the words together." He smirked at her, knowing that he had deprived her of any possibility to get out of this.

Chloe actually gulped. She turned around and began walking towards the railing. She was so focused that she didn’t hear Lex sneak up behind her. "Did you know, that on quiet and wind still days like this, sound carries for miles out here?" He whispered directly into her ear.

Chloe walked over to the railing of the balcony and grasped it. &#39;If you&#39;re going to do it, do it right,&#39; she thought to herself and rose up on her toes slightly. "I CHLOE SULLIVAN WANT TO *FUCK* LEX LUTHOR," Chloe screamed, loudly, making her throat a little raw. She turned around to see if Lex had approved of her delivery.

Lex was desperately trying *not* to burst out in hysteric laughter. &#39;Priceless&#39; he thought. What confused him was that weird sense of pride that she had really gone and done it. He briefly entertained the thought of the Kents doing their farmchores and picking up on that tidbit. That was all it took, he did a double take and bent over forward, laughter shaking him like a tidal wave.

Chloe laughed along with him and leaned back against the railing. "And here I thought I was being all sexy," she said, smiling at Lex.

"Oh definitely," Lex wheezed out. "but... the thought of the... Kents hearing you scream that you want ..." he couldn&#39;t continue as another bout of laughter seized him.

Chloe quickly turned around in the direction of the Kent farm. She wanted to be embarrassed, but the thought of Mr. Kent hearing that while feeding the cows was too much, she started laughing again. "Can you imagine," she said between laughs, "that he can&#39;t milk the cows, cause they were startled by my screaming. I&#39;d get one of those sermons he gives out."

"Chloe," she said, faking his voice. "I don&#39;t think you realize the way that your actions affect people."

"You really should consider the consequences before you act, young lady,” Lex continued, getting the accent down to the spot.

Both shook with laughter as they walked back to the couch, collapsing onto it. "Ok, me now, I&#39;ll take uhm truth."

Chloe draped her left arm on the back of the couch and studied Lex for a moment. "Why are you fucking with my head," she asked.

Lex was taken aback for a moment. How was he supposed to answer this question anyway? "I&#39;m not. Not only," he began "I think it is just the way you egg me on. We always try to one up each other and well," he shot her a smile before he ended his sentence. "Do you have any idea how damn sexy you are when you get irritated?"

"Is that my next question," Chloe asked, trying to ignore the pride that was welling up in her at Lex&#39;s words.

"If you choose Truth, I can come up with a better one."

"Fine," she said, "I don&#39;t even want to know what you&#39;d come up with for my next dare. Truth it is."

"So, do you have any experience in the sack or was I right when I called you a virgin earlier?"

"The sack," Chloe said, smiling, "I thought that you were more suave than that. But, to answer your question, I *am* a virgin. However, that doesn&#39;t mean that I have no experience." She was surprised at how easy this question was, she had expected something much worse. Lex was apparently shocked that she had answered him so freely. "What," she said, "I&#39;m not ashamed that I&#39;m a virgin."

He nodded. Ok, that opened a whole new view to the situation. "Truth." He stated and hoped he was not going to regret it.

Chloe bit her lip and looked up at him. There was something that she had always wanted to know, but she wasn&#39;t sure that she should ask it. She wanted to keep this from spiraling out of control. &#39;Fuck it,&#39; a voice, which sounded a lot like Lex, spoke up in her head. "Are you bald *everywhere*?"

Chapter 8 - It&#39;s getting hot

"No. Truth or dare?" He smirked at her obvious disappointment. Well, she hadn&#39;t asked him to elaborate.

"Truth," she snapped as she pouted over his answer. She felt cheated and it pissed her off.

"Do you really think Clark could make you scream?"

"I&#39;m sure he could," Chloe said, "in shock if he told me he was gay. If he came up behind me with an axe, oh, if he asked me one more time if I thought Lana would go out with him. Yes, Lex, I do think Clark could make me scream." Chloe was rather pleased with herself and grinned at Lex.

Lex growled. "You know that was not what I meant." though he had to admit all of the above were true and would probably apply to him as well.

"Yes, I do know what you meant. We&#39;ve been through this. Be more specific, Lex," Chloe said. She knew that she had already answered the question, but it was fun watching Lex getting pissed.

"If you insist on me spelling it out." He gritted through his teeth before his voice took a forced calm tone "I want to know if you really think he could make you scream in pleasure, make you yell his name in abandon while you come. Like you screamed my name earlier, out there on the balcony."

"What makes you think I want him to make me scream," Chloe asked. She knew that Lex may just point out that she wasn&#39;t answering the question, but she could feel the game was slipping away from both of them, so she decided to press on.

"Your history with him," Lex stated. "You&#39;ve been mooning over him for years, now. However, I think that your affections are misplaced."

Chloe chose to ignore Lex&#39;s first comment, rolling her eyes at it. "So, Lex, where do you think I should place my affections, if not with Clark?"

Lex smiled slowly and gestured to himself, "Right here," he said, cockily.

"Oh sure, do you really think you could make me scream?" As soon as the words had left her mouth, Chloe bit her tongue. &#39;Stupid, stupid, stupid,&#39; she thought as she looked over at Lex, awaiting his inevitable reaction.

“Chloe, I could make you beg, moan, grunt, shriek, yelp, whimper or wail. Whatever you want," Lex&#39;s voice was lower and he had leaned closer to Chloe. His knee was touching her leg and she could feel his breath on her cheek.

Chloe was flustered and incredibly turned on by his words. She needed to end it here and now, or she would either strangle Lex, or jump him &#39;Bad thoughts, Chloe.&#39;

Lex could see the internal struggle under way in the woman before him and he decided to help her decision along. He covered her lips with his and kissed her more forcefully than he had done earlier. Chloe pressed her hands against his chest, trying to push him away. Lex grabbed her arms and used them to drag her into his lap.

When his erection came into contact with her body, Chloe gasped. Lex took the opportunity to slide his tongue into her mouth, causing her to moan.

He wrapped his right arm around her waist, pressing her closer to his chest, while his left hand tangled in her hair, angling her head lightly so he could deepen the kiss.

Chloe found herself responding, against her better judgment, to what Lex was doing to her body. It didn&#39;t help that one of her more vivid dreams had started out in this exact manner. When Lex moved his hands to her ass, pulling her closer, while thrusting up into her it broke through to her. She pulled away and shakily stood up. She looked down at Lex, panting.

Lex&#39;s breathing was labored and he was getting annoyed at the mixed signals she was sending him. One moment she was in his lap, enthusiastically responding to his actions, the next she had jumped a mile away and looked at him like he&#39;d sprouted horns and a tail.

"What the fuck is wrong with you, woman?" Lex got up from the couch and stalked over to her. "Stop playing hard to get. We both know you want me, so stop the bullshit and get back here." He reached out and pulled her to him with a hand on her waist.

Rage quickly took over Chloe&#39;s body and she found that the throbbing between her thighs worsened. "Lex," she hissed, "I&#39;m not playing hard to get. Try impossible&#33;" With that, Chloe slapped Lex across the face and stormed out of the room.

Lex stood there, dumbstruck. Had she really just slapped him? "Fuck." He didn’t know what the hell was her problem&#33; And why the fuck had she slapped him anyway. He had been right. &#39;Damn that woman&#39; He thought, rolling his eyes and adjusting his pants.

“That obnoxious, infantile, insufferable, hormone driven Asshole&#33;” Chloe stormed off to her room &#39;But God can he kiss’ She slammed her door and flopped down on her bed, trying to ignore the memory of Lex&#39;s hands all over her body.

Lex rubbed his cheek, which was still stinging from Chloe&#39;s hand. His mind flashed on the image of him repaying the favor to her tight little ass and his pants became tighter. He walked out of the study and down the hall. As he passed Chloe&#39;s bedroom, he noted that she had closed her door and quickly bypassed it, entering his own bedroom.

Lex didn&#39;t bother closing the door. If Chloe decided to confront him, she would just have to deal with what she saw. &#39;Besides,&#39; Lex thought, undoing his jeans and taking his cock in his hand, &#39;she&#39;s going to see this sooner or later. And touch it, suck it...&#39; Lex&#39;s thoughts trailed off as he imagined Chloe taking him deeply into her mouth.
Lex flicked his thumb over the tip of his cock, imagining that it was Chloe&#39;s tongue. He groaned her name, loudly. He ran his hand from tip to base, and began thrusting up his hips in counterpoint.

Next door, Chloe&#39;s ears perked up when she heard Lex say her name. She had listened as his footfalls had approached her room and breathed a sigh of relief when he went into his bedroom. Now, however, she was worried again. Lex&#39;s voice had sounded *off* when he said her name, almost as if he were in pain. She found herself walking to the door.

Lex&#39;s left hand increased its pace, as did his hips. He realized that this was wrong....Chloe was right handed. He switched hands and grabbed his cock, hesitantly, thinking about how Chloe would handle his cock for the first time. He hardened even more when he remembered that she was a virgin. That he would be the first to bury himself in her willing, dripping pussy. "Oh, God, Chloe," Lex moaned as his right hand picked up its pace. "You like my cock in your hand, don&#39;t you?"

Chloe stopped dead in her tracks and her eyes widened. She realized what was going on between the walls that separated her from Lex. "No, he can&#39;t be," she whispered. "Fuck, so good, Chloe," she heard Lex grunt. Her eyes fluttered shut and she imagined running her hand over Lex&#39;s cock, causing her internal muscles to twitch. "Stop it," she said, mostly to herself.

Lex gripped his cock firmly, now imagining sliding slowly into Chloe&#39;s tight, quivering cunt. "Open your legs for me, baby," he said, though, it came out more as a loud growl. ImaginaryChloe did just that.

Real Chloe, however, was taking a different course of action. "STOP THAT," she screamed through the wall. She heard Lex groan and could now hear him panting as well. Chloe tried a different tactic. She walked over to the bookshelf and began hurling books at the wall. "Let’s see how you work that in," she muttered.

Lex&#39;s hips were jerking almost uncontrollably. When he heard the loud thumps against the wall, he quickly worked them into his fantasy. Chloe was riding him hard in his bed, with the headboard thumping against the wall. Lex screamed this time, "Give it to me. Fuck yeah, I like it when you’re rough, Chloe, don&#39;t stop"

Chloe had heard enough. She was fuming with anger and she was not going to take this any longer. An idea crossed her mind &#39;Gonna cool him off. Now where can I find...&#39; Her thoughts trailed of as she found just what she needed under the sink in her bathroom. She quickly prepared her weapon and carefully carried it with her, to the door. Lifting it by the handle on one hand, she silently opened the door with the other.

She snuck into Lex&#39;s bedroom, and inched closer to the bed. Her breath caught in her throat at the sight in front of her. Lex was lying sprawled on the sheets, his eyes shut tightly. Her name came from his lips while his right hand was stroking his cock firmly. She never would have thought that watching a man jerk off could be that erotic. "God Chloe, yes. You&#39;re so good baby." The throbbing between her legs became more insistent at his words, which in turn pissed her off. She took the last couple of steps, until she was standing right next to him and brought her weapon to use.

Lex yelped and jumped a mile as he was jerked out of his fantasies, when a full bucket of ice cold water was dumped all over him.

His gaze jerked up to an irate looking Chloe. "That should cool you off."

Lex slowly took in Chloe&#39;s appearance. Her chest was heaving and she was flushed. Not embarrassed flushed, either. "Looks like I&#39;m not the only one who needs a cold shower. Like what you heard, Sullivan?"

Chloe exploded right into his face. "Shut the FUCK UP&#33; And if you EVER do that again as long as I am here, at least keep your mouth SHUT&#33;"

"Yes, ma&#39;am," Lex said as water dripped over his face. "I will keep my mouth shut when I imagine you just as you are now, chest heaving, nipples erect when I come tonight."

Chloe’s eyes blazed holes into him. &#39;Did he just…&#39; Her face grew a dark shade of red with fury. &#39;That&#39;s it&#33; That&#39;s it, Mister. I. Am. Leaving. NOW" She enunciated every word singularly, before she threw the bucket on his bed, “and you will never see me again." With that she turned on her heel and stormed to the door and out, slamming it shut so violently that it almost flew of its hinges.

Lex unhurriedly tucked his cock back into his pants and casually walked to Chloe&#39;s door, which was open. He leaned against the door and smiled at her. "I never thought you&#39;d give up so easily on a hot story Ms. Sullivan. I also never thought you would be so uptight and timid about sex. I imagined that was more of a Lana trait."

That was the last straw&#33; He had just insulted her and her friend in one breath, plus he had practically called her a frigid&#33; He. Was. Going. To. Die.

"I assure you, Lex" she spat his name out like something rotten, "That I am neither uptight, nor timid about sex in anyway. Actually, I&#39;m pretty sure I could make you lose your mind in less then ten minutes, giving you the blowjob of your life. However, I am NOT about to become a simple fuck on your long list&#33; I am Not about to play outlet for your hormone driven lust. And I am most DEFINITELY NOT going to FUCK with a STUPID, IMMATURE, HORNY BILLIONAIRE WHO BEHAVES LIKE A FUCKING TEENAGER&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;"

With every word she screamed louder and her chest was heaving with the effort to pump enough oxygen into her lungs to put the power into her rant. Her eyes were cold on Lex and she showed with her words as well as her body language that she had had enough.

Chloe jammed her clothing into her bags and ranted to herself about Lex&#39;s stupid behavior. Her hands stopped when she remembered something that had sounded familiar. "Teenager," she whispered. "You&#39;re acting like a teenager."

Lex looked at Chloe, confused by her change in tone. "Chloe, if I may reply to your little outburst...." Lex was cut off by Chloe. "You. May. Not." she said, holding up a finger in his direction, as she stalked past Lex, heading for the study.

Lex followed at a leisurely pace and found Chloe sitting at his desk, possibly more irate than ever. "What&#39;s your fucking password, Luthor," she demanded as the computer beeped angrily at her.

Lex smirked, remembering that he had come home yesterday and felt the need to change his password. He crossed his arms and said, "Cock wants Chloe. Oh, and it&#39;s case *sensitive*."
Chloe rolled her eyes and stabbed the keys while putting in Lex&#39;s password. She quickly clicked on the icon for the internet. "You sit down there, "She motioned to the couch,” shut up, and let me do my work"

tbc....

DAMN YOU&#33; Ugh. *glances up the stairs* If I go to take a cold shower now my whole damn family&#39;s gonna be suspicious. Seriously, that was just cruel, stopping Lex like that.

Chapter 9 - Breakthrough

Chloe’s eyes were beginning to burn. It had been two hours since her little &#39;breakthrough&#39; and she hadn&#39;t been able to connect the ideas that were floating around in her brain. She *knew* that she had read something about.....something.

She just couldn&#39;t remember the name of the damn town. She looked over at Lex and her mood worsened. He was sprawled out on the couch, all relaxed, reading a Warrior Angel comic book.

Chloe began to think out loud. "Sunville. Stardale. Ugh, it was in California. Think Chloe," she said.

Lex peeked up from his comic book, enjoying this a little too much; he had a pretty good guess, what town she was trying to remember, since he had a cousin there. He wouldn&#39;t spill though. It was too good watching her in frustrated research mode. He went back to his comic; the female character in this issue was reminding him a lot of the girl sitting across the room.

Chloe continued on. "Something Sunny. Sunnytown, Sunnyville, Sunnyside, Sunnyland, Sunnyhill, Sunny GOD DAMN IT," she finished, slamming her hand on the desk in frustration.

Lex decided to put her out of her misery, no use having her work herself into a frenzy and lash out on innocent furniture. "Sunnydale," he remarked casually, never looking up from his comic book.

"That&#39;s it," Chloe said, excitedly, while typing the name of the town into a search engine. She looked over at Lex, glaring at the man. "How long have you known the name," she asked in a menacing voice.

"I wasn&#39;t supposed to speak, remember," Lex said with a satisfied smirk on his face.

"No," Chloe said through clenched teeth, "You weren&#39;t supposed to annoy and distract me from my work; I never said you couldn&#39;t be useful."

Lex sighed, putting his comic book aside. "It seems to be the same thing, doesn&#39;t it Chloe? The annoying goes hand in hand with the speaking. You should have been more specific. Did our earlier game teach you nothing," Lex finished, while raising his eyebrows.

“Well you can specifically kiss my...," Chloe stopped her train of thought. "Feet," she amended, hazarding a guess he wouldn&#39;t do that. However, if she had said ass, she wasn&#39;t sure that would have applied.

Chloe was so immersed in her work that she didn&#39;t notice Lex throw his comic book to the floor and advance on her. When she looked up and at the place Lex had previously occupied he was nowhere to be seen.

&#39;This is not good,&#39; she thought. Chloe yelped when she felt something grip her left ankle. She tried to pull her leg back, but the grip on her ankle tightened, so the only thing she could do was to bend sideways to look under the table.

But before she could see what was happening, she felt smooth lips kissing her instep. She closed her eyes for a second to regain her composure and not kick him. "What are you doing?” She hissed through clenched teeth.

What you told me to," she heard Lex&#39;s voice reply. Chloe opened her mouth, meaning to tell him to stop; instead a strangled cry escaped as Lex began to tickle a sensitive spot on her ankle with the tip of his tongue.
Chloe felt Lex gently bite down on the same spot. The feeling caused desire to shoot through her body and settle between her thighs.

“Is that so? Well if you do what I tell you then, stop. Now. And get out under that damn table." Her voice was sharp and she tried to focus on anything but the feeling of Lex&#39;s mouth on her foot. She jumped in her chair when she felt him graze his thumb against the bite-mark he had left on her flesh. Chloe ripped her foot away from Lex.

Lex crawled up from under the table, his body between her legs. He placed his hands on the arms of Chloe&#39;s chair and looked at her, steadily. Chloe felt as if she was being studied and was unnerved by it. Lex nodded almost imperceptivity to himself, stood up and turned his attention to the computer screen. "So, Sunnydale," he said in a calm voice. "Why the interest in a California town?"

"Because I think I will find the answer to what happened to you there, in this little town. It&#39;s history and book record for weird things even surpasses that of ours."

Lex&#39;s eyebrows rose. "Really? Let me see," he said, brushing up against her hand as he grabbed for the mouse.
Chloe pulled her hand from the mouse, as if burned. She could have sworn she had felt a bolt of electricity go through her when their fingers had touched. &#39;Just static electricity, nothing special&#39; she tried to reason &#39;Yeah, sure.&#39;

Chloe&#39;s reaction did not go unnoticed by Lex. After his little stunt with her foot, he had tried to gauge her honest reaction. He knew the look he had clearly seen in her eyes. Lust. Chloe wanted him, she might not know it yet, but he certainly did.

Lex quickly scanned the archives of the local papers. And he had to admit that some freaky ass shit had, indeed, gone down in Sunnydale. "Chloe, I don&#39;t really see how any of this helps us. I mean..." Lex trailed off as he saw a phrase that disturbed him and quickly tried to go to the next article.

"Stop, what was that? Go back." Chloe had seen a flash of the sentence, too.

“What, to this," Lex asked innocently as he went back to an article about a clothing drive in the town.

“No." She strung out the word. "The other one." She put her hand over his on the mouse and clicked the back button, to return to the article that had piqued her interest. Her eyes skimmed over the content until she got to the interesting part.
When she realized she still hadn&#39;t removed her hand after scrolling through the text, she blushed lightly and pulled it away, placing it in her lap as nonchalantly as she could.

Lex filed away Chloe&#39;s reaction to their contact; he could analyze it later. For now, he was stuck reading a rather disturbing article about adults behaving like teenagers and chaos ensuing in the small town. "I don&#39;t see what this has to do with me, Chloe. I haven&#39;t been to Sunnydale and they say that it was linked to chocolate bars. This is obviously a dead end. Ready to turn in, good," Lex said the last few words quickly and tried to exit out of the archive.

Chloe grabbed his wrist and shot him a warning glare. "No I am not, if you are tired, go to bed. I will find out how these incidents are linked. I just know they are." She bit her bottom lip, lost in thought, not even realizing that she was still holding on to his wrist.

"No, Chloe, I&#39;ll wait till we can go to bed together," Lex whispered.

"Lex, give it up already, and go to bed." She said her eyes still fixed on the screen. She flexed her hand around his wrist, unconsciously still holding on.

Lex quickly drew his wrist back, crushing Chloe&#39;s body to his own, as his free arm circled her waist. He could feel her breasts against his chest and inhaled her scent deeply. "I said, I&#39;ll wait till we go to bed together, Chloe."

Chloe looked up into his eyes and was hypnotized by the dark azure blue of the orbs. She unconsciously held her breath at the untamed lust she could see in them. Chloe let go of his wrist and, swallowing visibly, she tried to form a coherent sentence in an authoritative tone "Lex, let go of me." It sounded weak, even to her own ears.

Lex could hear it in her voice. Chloe was weakening. But, he had to be sure, as much as he loved games, Lex needed to know that Chloe truly wanted to play. He let go of her hand. And, then, he saw it. Only for a moment, but it was there. Disappointment flickered across her face. That was all it took.

Lex&#39;s freed arm also found its way to her waist. He whirled her around and laid her on his desk. Gently holding her wrists to the table, he let the bulge in his pants hit her directly between her thighs. When Chloe&#39;s mouth opened, releasing a gasp, Lex took full advantage of the situation.

"Ever since that first interview, I&#39;ve dreamed of taking you on this desk, Chloe," Lex panted before covering her lips with his.

Chloe was too stunned to react for a second. &#39;Ohmygodohmygodohmygod&#39; When she regained some semblance of higher brain function she pushed him away and fixed him in a stern gaze. "What?&#33;"

She couldn&#39;t believe he’d just said that. He wanted her, had wanted her from that first interview, on that fateful day when she had taken her first lesson in bungee jumping ... without a rope. &#39;Wait a second, if he wanted me since then, why...&#39; "Why didn&#39;t you try something earlier then, or at least showed a little more consideration in the flowers you were sending to the hospital." She gave him a cold smirk that could rival his own.

&#39;He only said that now to get in my pants&#39; Chloe was sure about that.

"And how would you have reacted," Lex questioned. "You only had eyes for the farmboy," he growled. "That and I was a fucking pussy."

Chloe gave an unladylike snort at that comment. Well part of it was true, she had been hopelessly smitten with Clark at that time, but still. "Well things might have changed earlier, if you had shown any interest." She snapped her mouth shut &#39;Damn why do I never think before I talk with him?&#39;

Lex smiled slowly at the woman in front of him. "Is that so, Chloe," he asked. "You strike me as a progressive woman. Why do I get all the blame for this? Couldn&#39;t you have made a move on me?"

Chloe huffed at that. "Oh yeah, sure. Between Victoria and Desiree, it wouldn&#39;t have been any competition, I could be sure you&#39;d be thrilled at a high school girl and reporter making a move on you. Come on Lex, even you must admit you didn&#39;t give the slightest hint you were interested&#33;" She shoved him back and stood up straight, crossing her arms over her chest.

Lex clenched his jaw and glared down at Chloe. "Don&#39;t tell me you didn&#39;t feel it, Chloe." He edged closer to her. "Every time we were together, it was there. That tension between us."

"Come on Lex, how could I be sure? You can create tension between yourself and a bottle of TyNant&#33;" She was furious, she didn&#39;t know why exactly, but she was royally pissed. It didn&#39;t help matters that she also was getting incredibly aroused by their close proximity and the intensity of his gaze.

"You want something to be sure of? Something you can *feel*," Lex growled. He grabbed Chloe&#39;s hips and began to grind his erection against her. "Can you feel that?"

Chloe gasped as his hardness came in contact with her already wet crotch and her eyes fell shut at the incredible sensation &#39;Why me?&#39; "Why?" She hadn&#39;t realized she had spoken the last part out loud, until Lex answered her.

"Why you?" Lex asked. "Fuck Chloe, he really did a number on your head, didn&#39;t he? You&#39;re fucking perfect. God, I get hard just thinking about your warm body. Not to mention the fact that you can almost out think me," he said, unable to stamp down the smirk that formed on his lips

She forced her eyes to open and meet his gaze. Intently searching his eyes for any sign that he was lying, she came up empty. Lex meant what he told her, every word, or he was the best goddamn liar on god’s green earth.
Her arms uncrossed and she tentatively reached out her hand, placing it on his right cheek, her thumb stroking over the high cheekbone. "Thank you." She whispered, before she brushed his lips with hers.

If Lex was surprised by the kiss, he was stunned by her next move. Chloe turned on her heel and left the study. He heard her open and close the door to her bedroom and the lock clicked into place.

WAUW why did she run?? please update soon

[Not An Addict]

Ok . . . well ladies . . .

That was an excellent chapter. I got to the second paragraph, when she was trying to think of the name of the town, and I started going, "What . . . Sunnydale. Ok, this ties into &#39;Buffy&#39; somehow. But when could something like this possibly . . . have happened . . . with people behaving like . . . teenagers . . . . . . . . . . . OH MY GOD, IT&#39;S &#39;BAND CANDY&#39;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;" And then I died. Had to be revived by my friend. Now there&#39;s a new Slayer out there, but that&#39;s not the point. The point is, this was a stroke of brilliance, and if you can find a way to work Spike and/or Giles into this, I swear to all things good and holy that I will love you forever. But . . .

I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU STOPPED IT THERE&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

More. Now. Or things will get very painful, VERY FAST.

Love you. More please. :biggrin:

Chapter 10- And Two Makes Four....

Lex stalked into the dining room the next morning to find a very peppy Chloe already at work.

"Morning," he said, grumpily.

"Good morning," Chloe said, meaning it. She had gotten up early, which was against her very nature, but it had paid off. She had found something linking Smallville and Sunnydale. She slid a set of paper over to Lex.

Lex looked at the order and receipt for several boxes of chocolate that had apparently been sent to an address in Smallville. He frowned at Chloe. "So what?" he asked, his brain not yet catching up with what Chloe obviously found a major breakthrough.

"Lex," she said, using a tone as if she were speaking to a small child, "these boxes contain the infamous chocolate bars that turned all of the adults into teenagers. Some were taken to a local lab to be studied but somehow ended up *here*. I&#39;ll bet that if we go to this address, we&#39;ll be able to find out who did this to you and why."

“Well it was never really proven that the chocolate is responsible for that whole incident. You’re going on a wild goose chase here, Chloe. And even *if* the chocolate was the thing that drove the Sunnydale residents whacky. I didn&#39;t eat any chocolate. I don&#39;t like pure chocolate, so you can very well scratch that idea." Lex tried desperately to talk her out of this. He had no intention to figure out what happened. It would only lead to him returning to his old self and that was a scary thought.

Chloe thought about what Lex had said. She didn&#39;t want to make a fool of herself, but she was fairly certain that she was right. "Lex, whoever got these boxes could have extracted whatever it was that made the people act crazy from the chocolate. It&#39;s the only lead we have and I intend to follow up on it. So, if you&#39;ll excuse me," she said as she rose to her feet, "I have a house to raid."

"Chloe wait." Lex scrambled for any reason to keep her from doing what she had obviously already planned out.
“You can&#39;t just barge in there. That&#39;s illegal." &#39;God, LAME&#39; his mind screamed at him, before Chloe got the chance to counter that.

"Illegal," Chloe said, incredulously. "Since when does a Luthor worry about bending, or for that matter, snapping in half, the law? Besides, it&#39;s not as if I&#39;m going to get caught. Jeez, little faith in my abilities to break and enter please," she said as she shut down the laptop.

"Chloe, do I really have to give you a rundown of your track record for getting yourself into trouble during your snooping acts?" Lex knew it was a little low, but he needed to keep her from doing anything that might turn him back into the ponce he had been before.

"Hey," she said, slamming the computer shut, "Should we count how many times you&#39;ve been knocked unconscious, slick? Cause, I&#39;m sure that I could....." Chloe trailed off, hearing footsteps approaching.

Lex scowled at her comment, and was about to strike back when he, too, picked up the sound. A second later Clark and Lana were coming in through the study doors.

"Hey, guys," Chloe said, clearly confused, "what brings you here?"

Clark opened his mouth to speak, but Lana cut him off. "Well, Clark told me what was going on and I insisted that we come over here to help. The more brains, the better I thought," Lana said, smiling at Chloe. Clearly not understanding how much trouble she had just gotten Clark into.


Clark looked like a deer in headlights. He saw that Lex&#39;s body had tensed and he was glaring at Clark. He smiled slightly, "I told you I wasn&#39;t a boy scout."

“Didn&#39;t I specifically tell you, to keep your mouth shut about this? Really Clark, I thought you could keep another persons’ secret, seeing as you are doing just fine with your own." Lex stated calmly. His face was impassive but his eyes blazed with fury.

Clark looked down at his shoes yet again, feeling immediately and terribly guilty. "I *am* sorry, Lex, but Lana kept asking all these questions and she confused me into telling her what was going on." He looked suspiciously from Lana to Chloe. "She must have learned it from her," he said, nodding his head towards Chloe.

"Oh that&#39;s rich&#33; I&#39;ve never seen a man so whipped. What if the girls decided to gang up on you to find out your secrets? Would you just go and spill the beans, too?" Lex rolled his eyes, and then entertained the thought of actually doing what he had just put into question. &#39;If Chloe and Lana, and I put our heads – or in Lana’s case charms - together...&#39; He filed the thought away for future reference and got back to the topic. "So, what do I have to do to prevent you from spreading this all over the town?"

Clark searched his mind for something that he could tell Lex to make him believe that he wouldn&#39;t spill the secret to anyone else. He grasped at the only thing he could, "Well, I don&#39;t really know anyone else."

Chloe piped in, "What about Pete and your parents?" She knew that she really shouldn&#39;t have done it, but it was just too easy.

Lana frowned. Sure, she had to trick Clark into telling her, but she hadn&#39;t realized what he was in for. She tried to come to his aid, "Well, Pete&#39;s out of town and I doubt that Clark is going to tell Ma and Pa Kent that you&#39;re staying with Lex for a few days," Lana said, looking at Chloe.

Lex grinned at her choice of words for the Kents. "Ok. I&#39;ll put it into your hands to keep his mouth shut, though." He pointed a finger at Lana and gave her a look that couldn&#39;t be mistaken. &#39;You mess up, you die&#39;

“No problem, I&#39;m sure I can handle Clark," Lana said. When Chloe shot her an &#39;oh really&#39; look, Lana quickly spoke up again. "So, is there a plan?"

"Yes," Chloe said before Lex could speak. "I have a lead on an address and I was just on my way there."

"Good," Clark said, stepping towards Chloe, "I&#39;ll go with you. Safety in numbers you know."

Lex felt another attack of the green eyed monster and decided to turn the tables on Clark. "If you insist. I&#39;ll be keeping Lana company in the meantime." He turned to the raven haired. "So tell me Lana, when was the last time you played Twister?"

Both Chloe and Clark whipped their heads around to where Lex had walked over to Lana. He was standing close to the brunette and raking his eyes over her body.

Clark looked over at Lex and decided that they needed to get this sorted out. And fast. He looked over at Chloe, surprised by the look of hurt on her face. Chloe&#39;s face quickly changed, but, he had seen it. As had Lana who was trying to respond to Lex even though she was now very confused. "Uh, it&#39;s been awhile. But, I don&#39;t think it&#39;s a good idea. I confuse right and left all the time."

Lex had seen the look of hurt on Chloe’s face as well and was a little confused when he realized he found no satisfaction in it. "Well, forget about it. Was just a suggestion anyway. And Chloe kinda wore me out yesterday. We&#39;ll find something else." He turned his attention to Chloe. "So, what now? I thought you and Clark where about to play Mulder and Scully out in the field." He shot her a pointed look at the reference.

"We are," Chloe said, taking Clark&#39;s hand in her own. "Come on, Clark," she said, dragging him out of the room. "Let&#39;s see what we can *uncover* together."

Lana noticed that Lex&#39;s hands were clenched at his sides and he was glaring at the open doorway. &#39;Great, leave me with the psycho teen freak,&#39; she thought. "So, Lex," she said, feeling awkward already, "what have you and Chloe been up to?"

Lex rolled his eyes. &#39;Fucking great&#33;&#39; He thought. &#39;Now I&#39;m left with the fairy princess for God knows how long&#39; "Nothing of your interest Lana. So what are you planning on doing. Alone with the big bad wolf?" He shot her a mock leer and was highly amused when she took a step back from him.

Lana did the only thing she could think of. She screamed. "CHLOE&#33;&#33;&#33; CLARK&#33;&#33;&#33;," she yelled at the top of her lungs.

Lex grinned. &#39;Gotcha&#39;

"GET YOUR ASSES BACK UP HERE PRONTO,"she continued.

Lana turned towards the doorway when she heard her friends approach. Chloe was out of breath but Clark seemed no worse for the wear.

"What&#39;s wrong," Chloe panted out, trying to pull some oxygen back into her body.

Lex donned a particularly smug look, when the two burst into his study, Chloe immediately shooting daggers at him.

"What&#39;d he do," Chloe asked. "Did he touch you?"

"Me? I did nothing," Lex gave his best impression of innocent angel.

"No, he didn&#39;t touch me," Lana said, sheepishly. "But, he, he was saying stuff and looking at me....and, well, I&#39;m just going with you Chloe. Clark can stay here."

Lex still stood on his spot giving an innocent shrug. "Fine by me. Sorry Clark, you&#39;ll be stuck with me. So how about a round of leapfrog?"

Clark paled immediately. "Chloe," he whispered, "can I come with you too?"

Chloe let out something akin to a primal scream. "Do you see what you do," she said, stalking over to Lex and gesturing to the two brunettes in the room. "I&#39;m the only damn one that can take you. Can&#39;t you just help out, ONCE," she asked.

"Chloe, don&#39;t you get it? You&#39;re the only one I want to take me," he drawled suggestively. "And as to the helping out, that solely depends on *what* you want me to help out with."

Chloe&#39;s shoulders slumped downwards and she ran a hand over her face. "What did I do to deserve this," she asked, to no one in particular. "Fine," she said, "this is what is going to happen. Clark," she said, turning towards the farmboy, "*you* are going to stay here with Lex in order to make sure that he doesn&#39;t do anything stupid. Lana, you will come with me to check out who is the mastermind, and I use the term lightly, of this plan. And you," she said, turning back to look at Lex, "will behave yourself while I&#39;m gone, do you understand me?" Chloe placed her hands on her hips and did her best to look imposing.

"Clark, Lana, could you leave us alone for a minute?" He had a deal to make and didn&#39;t need the rest of the scoobies eavesdropping.

They both looked over at Chloe for confirmation and she nodded.

Chapter 11 - Deals and Halftruths


Clark turned to Lana, trying to come up with something that would gracefully get both of them out of the room. "Uh, wanna see a suit of armor," he asked and then cringed.

Lana threw the farmboy a forced smile and answered through her teeth. "Sure, why not? I always had a thing for men in suits."

As soon as they were alone, Chloe looked up at Lex, "Ok, what&#39;s going on?"

"What do I get if I agree to this?" Lex asked, smiling widely

"A cookie," Chloe said sarcastically.

"Not what I had in mind." Lex responded.

"Fine," she gritted out, "What do you want?"

"What&#39;ve you got?" he shot back

"What do you need?" she replied, never missing a beat.
She shook her head, "Wait, don&#39;t answer that. I don’t&#39; think I want to know."

"So, what is this new deal that I assume we are now drawing up," she asked, sighing.

"Ok, if I agree to not hinder your *research*" he put sarcastic emphasize on the last word. "You agree to go out with me, tonight.”

"Define hinder, Luthor," Chloe said, glaring up at him, pulling herself to her full height

Lex stepped closer to her, invading her personal space. "Oh, I don&#39;t know. It could be defined as keeping you distracted, using my intoxicating charm and having my wicked way with you," he whispered seductively into her ear.

If Lex had expected Chloe to get weak in the knees, he had another thing coming. Chloe burst out laughing. Between laughing and gasping for air, Lex heard the words &#39;charm&#39; and &#39;wicked ways&#39; repeated incredulously.

Lex was perplexed, but he regained his composure and vowed to make her stop laughing at him. Grabbing her by her arms, he hauled her against his chest, pressing her lower body firmly against his and gripping her ass in his hands. As soon as Chloe felt Lex&#39;s hard body pressed against her own, the laughter in her throat quickly dried up. He swooped down, seizing her lips in a passionate kiss, catching her off guard. When she gasped in shock, he used it to his advantage, slipping his tongue between her lips, sweeping it around her mouth, exploring every inch thoroughly.

Chloe felt herself instantly responding to Lex&#39;s bold actions. She pressed her hand to the back of his neck, encouraging him to continue while her hips began rocking against his. She slid her tongue against Lex&#39;s and he groaned. The sound pulled her brain out of its lust-induced fog and she violently pulled away, panting.

His chest was heaving and his features betrayed utter shock. He hadn&#39;t expected the kiss to have such an effect on him, he merely wanted to throw her for a loop, not himself.

"Still laughing at me, Chloe?" He placed his infamous smirk back on his face and the mask dropped back in place, but his eyes were still dark with desire.

"No," she said, trying to regain her composure. "I was just contemplating your lack of finesse, which is more pitiful than laughable." When she saw his eyes narrow, she knew that she had made a direct hit. Or gotten herself deeper in trouble. Or both.

"Lack of finesse eh?" He stuck his tongue behind his teeth and gave a short soundless laugh. "You want finesse? I&#39;ll show it to you tonight. The agreement is that I behave myself while you and Lana are gone and then tonight, we are going to Metropolis, and you will get what you just asked for." With that he turned on his heel and stormed out of the study. At the door, he screeched to a halt and threw his last words over his shoulder. "Oh, and Chloe? I expect you to wear something appropriate for the situation." He slammed the door shut behind him, leaving her alone in the large room.

Chloe’s mouth opened and closed. Had Lex just TOLD her that she was going to Metropolis? &#39;Unacceptable,&#39; she thought, as she stormed after him. Chloe stomped out into the hallway and her anger increased when Lex was nowhere to be seen. "If he thinks that he can just order me around, he&#39;s got another thing coming," she muttered to herself. "I"ll make him pay for that." Chloe stopped in her tracks when she realized just how she could one up Lex. "Wear something appropriate? I&#39;ll *show* you appropriate," she hissed as she gave up her hunt for Lex and called out for Clark and Lana. When they appeared she pointed at Lana, "You, with me. And you," she said, pointing at Clark, "stay here with him." Clark opened his mouth but Chloe cut him off. "He&#39;ll be fine, trust me."



Chloe and Lana climbed the front porch of the address that was printed on the invoices. "Looks like we lucked out," Chloe said, "no one&#39;s home." She tried the door and found it unlocked. "Sometimes," she said, "I love living in Smallville."

__________________________________________________ ___

As Chloe and Lana were entering the house, Lex and Clark were in the study, staring at one another. Lex was trying to see how long this could go on before Clark would speak.

"So," Clark said, a few moments later. "You and Chloe, what&#39;s up with that?"

"Oh Clark, are you really sure you want to know?" Lex asked, baring his teeth in a sharky grin,

Clark gulped and then nodded.

"She slept in my bed last night, Clark. Does that answer your question," Lex said. Sure, it was technically true, but even Chloe didn&#39;t know that she was staying in Lex&#39;s real bedroom. He had fed her that other line only to make her more comfortable.

Clark&#39;s eyes widened. "Oh, well, that&#39;s....um. I didn&#39;t know you two were together and...."

"Oh, we&#39;re not," Lex said, truthfully. While he had defined what the word hinder meant in their situation, Lex had not done so for the word &#39;behave.&#39;

__________________________________________________ __

Chloe and Lana had already checked out the top floor when Chloe noticed some steps that led down to the basement area. The two girls descended them and found a door at the bottom.

Let&#39;s see what we find behind curtain number three." She announced, trying the doorknob. It didn’t budge.

"Sweetie," Chloe said, laying a hand on Lana&#39;s shoulder. "I love you, but you&#39;re not too observant." Chloe pointed to the padlock that was hanging from the door.

Lana shot her friend a sheepish grin and decided to get the topic off her and on Chloe or specifically Chloe and Lex. "So, what is this thing between you and Lex?"

"What thing? There&#39;s not a &#39;thing&#39; between me and Lex," Chloe said quickly as she walked back up the stairs with Lana following her closely. "Maybe Clark didn&#39;t explain it properly; he didn&#39;t have all of the information at the time. Something is making Lex act like a teenager, I&#39;m just helping to figure out what it is. I mean, there isn&#39;t a &#39;thing&#39; between us." By the end of Chloe&#39;s speech they had reached the top of the stairs. "Besides," she muttered, "he came on to you, too,” Chloe said quickly as she walked back up the stairs with Lana following her closely

"Oh come on Chloe. Clark told me how he found you. And I may not be the most observant person in the world. But a *blind* person could pick up on the vibes you two give off." Lana kept on prying, she just couldn&#39;t resist. "Besides, if that wasn’t a serious case of the green eyed monster earlier with the Mulder Scully thing, I don’t know what is."
Chloe cradled her face in her hands. Her voice was muffled by them, "Lana, I don&#39;t know what else to tell you. Lex only started acting towards me that way after whatever was done to him happened. So, any vibes that are going on are due to that. Nothing else." She looked back up at her friend and saw that Lana had an amused look on her face. "What," she asked.

Lana smiled. "You like him. You really have the hots for Lex Luthor. And you are scared that he doesn&#39;t really like you back." The girl broke into a full fledged grin, showing her sparkling, shiny teeth. "Chloe, you&#39;ve got to be kidding me&#33; Have you never seen the looks he was giving you before that?"

Chloe placed her palm on Lana&#39;s forehead. "You&#39;re obviously sick, Lana. Lex has *never* looked at me that way before Thursday."

Lana brushed the hand away and snorted. "Yeah sure. Sorry but the first time *I* caught up on it, I nearly drowned a costumer in a tray full of hot coffee." At Chloe’s incredulous look she elaborated. "When ever he sees you in the talon, his eyes are practically undressing you when he thinks nobody is watching."

Chloe sputtered for words, which was not a situation she found herself in often, or one that she liked. Her brows knit together, "It&#39;s not that I don&#39;t trust your judgment Lana, it&#39;s just, well, not possible. I mean, don&#39;t get me wrong," she said, smiling, "I&#39;m hot, but I&#39;m not exactly Lex Luthor material, am I?"

"Sorry, but all indications are speaking against you on that one. And even Clark caught up on it yesterday, so there definitely &#39;is&#39; something" Lana insisted on her opinion. &#39;I know I&#39;m right, I have a sense for that.&#39;

Chloe shook her head. "Besides, this conversation is pointless. We&#39;ll find this guy, get Lex fixed and it will be a moot point. That reminds me, I&#39;m off my game if my first move wasn&#39;t to try and find out *who&#39;s* house we&#39;re in. Leave it to Lex to fuck with me," Chloe shot Lana a look, "shut up, when he&#39;s not even here."

Chloe crept around the living room when she spotted what she was looking for on the dining room table. She held up a Science magazine triumphantly and read the label aloud, "Martin Schöller." She threw the magazine back on the table. "The name sounds familiar. I think he goes to our high school. I swear, we have more freaks at that school..... Ok, well, we have to come back later, when good old Marty is here."

Lana nodded her consent and was just about to leave the room when she spotted a familiar game on the couch table. "Oh look, Dungeons and Dragons&#33; God I love Trogdor&#33; He&#39;s so cool."

"Ok, it&#39;s official, you&#39;ve lost it," Chloe said as she grabbed her and dragged her out of the house.

Chloe approached Clark&#39;s pickup truck and threw the keys to Lana. "You drive, you have to drop me off at home and then go rescue Clark." Chloe hoped that Lana wouldn&#39;t ask what was going on, but she didn&#39;t really expect things to go her way. And, she wasn&#39;t disappointed.

"Do you think Clark will be ok? I mean leapfrog? What was up with that? Not that I don&#39;t wonder sometimes. I sure gave him enough hints already, didn&#39;t I?" Lana looked questioningly at Chloe.

Chloe laughed. "Lana, I can assure you that you&#39;re not the only one wondering. And, yes, you have given him enough hints. Later, we&#39;ll come up with a game plan. It&#39;ll be fun to plot against him. He won&#39;t know what hit him," Chloe leaned back in the seat and closed her eyes.

Lana remembered the other statement Chloe had just given. "Why do you need to get home? I thought you were staying at the mansion to keep an eye on Lex?" A confused frown spread across her face.

Chloe sighed, deeply. "Ok, I&#39;m not even going to ask you to promise to not say anything about it cause I know it&#39;s impossible. But, I need to go home to change. In order for Lex to allow Clark to &#39;babysit&#39; him, as he put it, I had to agree to go to Metropolis with him tonight." She looked over at Lana, awaiting her response.

"Cool. Do you know what you&#39;re going to wear?" Lana didn&#39;t object to the thought of Lex and Chloe dating. She figured the two would be the perfect match. Frankly, she couldn&#39;t think of any boy in Smallville that would be able to hold his own against the snarky reporter, aside from the resident billionaire.

"Maybe," Chloe said, surprised and pleased that Lana had let her off so easily. "Now, there&#39;s a message I want you to pass on to Lex when you get there....."

__________________________________________________ _________
Clark&#39;s mouth hung open again. "You two are going out tonight? But, I thought that she was here for research purposes." Clark looked at Lex for an explanation.

Lex just shrugged. "I never said that was the only thing we were doing. In fact we&#39;ve been doing other things a lot more than research" Lex smirked at the incredulous look that the farmboy shot him.

Clark quickly asked, "What sorts of things," and then proceeded to blush.

"Oh, if you insist. It was pretty intense. At one point she even went so far as to scream that she wants to fuck me. Then there was a pretty wild make out session. And thumping, moaning and screaming were also part of our nightly activities." Lex basked as he watched the affect his words were having on the farmboy, and technically, he wasn&#39;t even lying, just leaving out minor details.

"My god," Clark whispered. He was getting slightly uncomfortable in his seat, thinking about Chloe doing all of those things. Then, the picture changed and it was Lana&#39;s face. He shifted in his seat until he was more comfortable. "How," Clark started, "how did you get her to do all those things?"

Lex couldn&#39;t hold back the chuckle as he watched Clark trying to hide his growing erection by *discretely pulling his flannel shirt over it. "Oh actually I didn’t have to do much. All it took was the right words at the right time."

Clark&#39;s face fell. "Not so good with the words myself," he muttered, wondering briefly if Lana would find anything sexy about how to fix a tractor.

Lex picked up on that last comment and saw his chance to get the topic off himself and Chloe and shift it to the farmboy and the fairy princess.

"So you&#39;re still trying to find a way to get Lana into the sack eh? Last time I checked you were giving me the &#39;we decided to stay friends&#39; crap. What now?" Lex leaned back against his desk and arched his eyebrows at Clark.

"I don&#39;t know, I think that she&#39;s been giving me signals about her wanting more, but I&#39;m not really sure. What do you think I should do? I mean, I don&#39;t want to ruin our friendship but, every time she wears pink, I don&#39;t know, something inside of me just snaps. And, Lex," he looked at his friend, almost in agony, "have you seen how much pink Lana wears?

Lex flashed back to his conversation with Chloe during their round of truth or dare. &#39;Yes, definitely tempted to scream&#39; "He opted for just clearing his throat instead. "Uhm, yes Clark, I&#39;ve noticed. You know what. I think you should just stop beating around the bush and just go for it. The girl won&#39;t wait forever for you to finally make a move.”

Clark nodded. "You&#39;re right, Lex. I mean, it worked for you. You finally made a move on Chloe. Though, I owe Lana some money, she bet me last week that you two would get together." He smiled at his friend.

Lex arched an eyebrow on that one. "Huh? Last week? I wasn&#39;t *that* obvious, was I?"

Lex was surprised. He thought he had made sure that no one noticed, because he hadn&#39;t been too thrilled at the thought of meeting the business end of a shotgun or a lawsuit back then. Now he didn&#39;t give a flying fuck what others thought. It made him realize once again, how much better he liked the new version of himself. He shot a quick prayer at the heavens. &#39;Please let that Sunnydale thing be a dead end&#39;.

"I&#39;m sure you weren&#39;t, but Lana&#39;s been on the lookout for a man for Chloe for awhile. And, apparently, she noticed some serious &#39;looking events&#39;, as she calls them, that happened with you. Don&#39;t worry, you&#39;re secret is safe with me," Clark said, all proud until he realized that he had already blabbed one of Lex&#39;s secrets. "This time I mean it, though," Clark said earnestly.

"Clark, there isn&#39;t gonna be a secret for much longer. And Gabe knows what Chloe is doing here."

"Ok, um, do you think that you might be able to not mention the whole pink thing to Lana. I&#39;ll owe you one," Clark said. He mentioned this because he could hear with his supersenses that his pickup truck had pulled into the driveway.

"I&#39;m pretty sure I can manage that." Lex nodded. He really didn&#39;t ever want to *think* about that again, let alone speak of it.

“Thanks," Clark said, gratefully. A few moments later he heard Lana call out, "Honeys, I&#39;m home," as she ran up the stairs and entered the study.

"Where&#39;s Chloe?" Was Lex&#39;s first question when she entered the study alone. Then he wanted to kick himself for sounding like an eager teenager.

Lana grinned smugly at the billionaire before answering his question. “I had to drop her off at home, she said she needed to change." Then she turned to Clark. "Clark you are officially free now, after you brought me home, that is."

"Ok," Clark rose up out of his chair, happy that he was able to without embarrassing himself. He walked towards the door and saw that Lana was still standing in the middle of the room. "This would work a whole lot better if you, you know, came with me."

Lana turned her gaze on Clark and gave the boy her most dazzling smile. "I&#39;ll be with you in a minute, just go ahead and wait in the truck ok?"

Lex looked quizzically at the girl. &#39;What does she want now? God I really hope she hasn&#39;t decided she does like the big bad wolf.&#39;

"Sure," Clark said. "That is," he said, grinning and crossing his arms over his chest, "if I can trust you two alone." Lana laughed and Clark took that as an affirmative and made his way out of the Manor.

"So, what is so important that you have to tell me in private?" Lex got right to the point. He didn&#39;t have any intention to drag this out longer than absolutely necessary.

Lana fixed him in as stern a look as she could manage, hoping she could pull off Martha Kent&#39;s &#39;don&#39;t mess with me’ stare. "Chloe asked me to tell you that you were to behave as long as you are left to your own devices." Lana stated

"And if I don&#39;t," Lex asked.

"If you don&#39;t," Lana repeated his question, "Chloe is gonna tell everybody about your little game of dress-up." &#39;And I will find out what she was talking about there&#39; Lana silently added as she watched Lex blanch slightly at her words.

Lex swallowed, before he nodded his consent. "That all?" He asked keeping his tone casual.

"Yup, that&#39;s all." Lana smiled sweetly at him, before she turned around and walked over to the door. She stopped in the doorway, one hand holding on to the pole and bit her lip, deciding if she should &#39;Ah to hell with it&#39;

“And Lex?" She threw over her shoulder. "Don&#39;t fuck it up with her, you&#39;d regret it, for the rest of your days.". Lana didn&#39;t wait for a response. She breezed down the stairs and out of the mansion. Leaving Lex standing in the middle of his study, wondering if all his abilities in keeping an impenetrable mask around his emotions had gone down the drain.

This is without a doubt one of the best fics i have ever read, i love Lex&#39;s character (i have a tendancy to let him just slip back a few years myself :blinkkiss: ) but i love Chloe&#39;s even more
Clark is just hilarious ^_^ and i&#39;m also loving the whole freak of the week thing. Very smallville

You&#39;re -so- talented. and i am so bummed at this damned writing cramp&#33; (return to me; imagination)
I&#39;ve become completely frozen from ideas or inspiration, i was wondering if i could borrow your muse for a while? :(

Yours inspired

A/N: Sabby: Here goes the next chap. And no bad words about the bike, I covet that bike so be nice. Have fun.

A/N: Blue: Isn&#39;t it weird that we can actually make you LIKE Lana? And, she&#39;s in rare form in this chapter, so, enjoy.


Chapter Twelve - Crotchless Panties + Motorcylce = Bad Idea

Lana returned home to the Sullivan residence, unlocked the door and was about to call her friend&#39;s name when she heard loud noises and curses coming from Chloe&#39;s room. Lana smiled; she thoroughly enjoyed it when Chloe was in rant mode. Her smile widened when she thought about what, or more specifically, who had gotten her this mad. &#39;Lex&#39;, her mind easily supplied and she practically ran up the stairs to get a front row seat for the latest episode of Chloe gone crazy.

Even though Lana could hear that Chloe was clearly having a fit, she was still unprepared for the sight of Chloe&#39;s room. It appeared that every article of clothing that Chloe owned had been taken out of her closet. "Where in the everloving fuck *is* it," Chloe, who was now clad only in jeans and her underwear screamed.

"Your mind," Lana asked. "Well, it looks as if you&#39;ve finally lost it." Chloe glared at her and Lana quickly said, "Sorry. So, spill, what’s the problem?"

“The problem is that he is driving me crazy," Chloe said. When she saw Lana smile, she protested. "I mean it. You have no idea what it&#39;s like trying to keep that one on a leash."

"So, tell me," Lana said, sitting on Chloe&#39;s bed. "In excruciating detail," Lana&#39;s eyes actually twinkled. "Cause I think I have a pretty good idea of what it is about this younger version of Lex that has you so riled up."

"I am NOT riled up," Chloe yelled

"Ok, so maybe I&#39;m a little riled up," Chloe amended when she heard how loud she had just yelled. "So, what are you talking about, exactly, Ms. Lang?"

"Ms. Sullivan," Lana said, imitating Chloe&#39;s tone, "We’ve had this conversation already, haven’t we? I&#39;m talking about the fact that Lex stares at your ass. I&#39;m talking about the fact that he stands far too close to you. I&#39;m talking about the fact that he looked ready to rip Clark apart this morning when you touched him. In short, I&#39;m talking about the fact that he wants to nail you."

Chloe couldn&#39;t believe the words that had just come out of Lana&#39;s mouth. Her shock gave Lana the opportunity to continue. "And, I&#39;m guessing, being that you’re holding out on me and leaving out details, that you&#39;re all riled up because he has acted on these impulses and you keep stupidly thwarting them. So, you&#39;re mad at him for doing it and mad at yourself for liking it."

Chloe finally found her voice. She put her hands on her hips and stared Lana down. "What makes you think anything happened and what makes you think that if, on the off chance that something did happen, that I liked it."

Lana gave Chloe her best &#39;you&#39;ve got to be kidding me&#39; look and sighed. "Chloe," she said, patiently, as if explaining something to a child, "of course something has happened. I *saw* Lex&#39;s behavior towards you this morning. He&#39;s staked his claim on you and he wanted everyone to know it.”

"And as for liking it, I&#39;m sure if you hadn&#39;t, you would have made some biting remark about it to Lex&#39;s face. I&#39;m also fairly certain that there was another round of this behavior earlier this morning from the denial you were displaying at the Schöller house and the level of rage you have now that you&#39;ve had some time to think about it. I mean, the clothes are innocents in this, Chloe."

"No, they are most certainly not. They&#39;re hiding from me," Chloe grumbled.

"So, what you&#39;re saying is that now, inanimate objects are also conspiring against you," Lana said, controlling the laughter that was building up on her. She knew that Chloe probably had all sorts of places where she could hide her body.

Chloe began to laugh and she shook her head. "Well, when you say it like that, I sound like a lunatic."

"Right, cause it&#39;s only the way that *I* say it that makes you sound crazy. What, exactly are you doing, Chloe?"

Before Chloe could answer, Lana grinned. "Let me guess, you&#39;ve got a secret stash of whore gear somewhere in the closet that would be perfect for tonight and now you can&#39;t find it."

"How did you know that?" Chloe asked.

"Chloe, we all have clothes that we buy, yet never have the courage to wear. Well, that is until some sexy billionaire opens his smart ass mouth."

"Ok," Lana said while staring at the closet, "I&#39;m going in. Cover me."

Chloe sat on her bed, highly amused at the yelps and curses she heard. Finally, Lana came out, looking triumphant as she held a black box with red lettering in her hands. "The word Bingo comes to mind," she said.

Lana sat down next to Chloe and put the box between them. After about thirty seconds Lana said, "Ok, if you&#39;re not gonna do it," and she opened the box, her eyes widening.

Lana couldn&#39;t decide which part of the outfit needed to be discussed first. She also couldn&#39;t believe how *little* material was in the box

Chloe nervously nibbled on her bottom lip as she waited for her friend to form words.

Lana slowly lifted the dress out of the box, being very careful with the flimsy material. The dress itself was a deep red that looked as if it fell several inches above the knee.

Lana noted that the straps that were on her fingers were thin and that the dress itself was backless. She laid the dress down on the bed and then inspected the shoes. They were stiletto heels that matched the color of the dress perfectly. Lana surmised that the numerous straps attached to the shoes secured around the ankle. She left the most interesting part of the ensemble for last, earning a blush from Chloe

Lana held up the pair of crotchless panties almost triumphantly. Silk, she was sure, but that wasn&#39;t the amusing part. They were a light purple color that most often graced the torso of a certain someone that both girls knew. "Pray tell, Chloe, who ever could have been on your mind when you bought *these*," Lana asked, which, to her glee, caused Chloe to blush a deeper shade of red.

"Oh, don&#39;t look so smug," Chloe said, snatching back the panties, being careful not to rip the delicate material. "Or else," she said with an evil grin, "I may let slip to a certain farmboy we both know that I hear his name moaned almost every night between the thin walls in the house."

It was now the brunette&#39;s turn to blush. She quickly nodded and cleared her throat, "So, where are you guys going," she tried to sound casual.

"I&#39;m not really sure. So, maybe I shouldn&#39;t," Chloe said, gesturing to the outfit. Lana immediately shook her head. "Oh yeah, you should. You know he&#39;s gonna take you some crazy place. You know, try to throw you off, make you feel uncomfortable. If you wear *this*, you&#39;ll start with the upper hand, trust me."

Lana saw the look on Chloe&#39;s face and could tell she was gaining ground in the battle.

She continued on, "Come on Chloe, you know you want to. Why else would you have bought all this stuff? Plus, don&#39;t you want to see the look on his face when you strut around in this? It&#39;ll drive him insane&#33; Especially if you just happen to talk to other guys to make him jealous. Not that you want to do that, of course, cause, you know, you don&#39;t want him."

It was the image of Lex, sitting alone at a barstool, stewing in his own rage while she danced with a hot guy that made Chloe decide Lana was right. She smiled at Lana. "Ok, fine, you win," she sighed.

In the next moment, Chloe was crushed by Lana&#39;s enthusiastic hug. "Do you mind if I ask you why you&#39;re all gung-ho on this whole me and Lex thing," Chloe asked

"Vicarious thrill," Lana said quickly. Off of Chloe&#39;s look she explained in greater detail. "We both know that a certain someone won&#39;t step up to the plate, so I have to get my jollies from watching you." Lana contemplated what she had just said. "It&#39;s quite sad, really."

Chloe chuckled at Lana. She gathered up the clothing and made her way to the bathroom. "You know," Chloe said before opening the door, "You don&#39;t have to wait for Clark to make the first move."

As Chloe shut the door, Lana thought about what she had said. "Damn right," Lana muttered, while she planned a strategy for getting a certain farmboy to shut up and put out.



Chloe looked at the closed door of Lex&#39;s study and could feel her heart hammering in her chest. She could hear Lex moving about through the sturdy wood. She looked down at her outfit and felt a surge of confidence streak through her body.

She opened the door and walked into the room. Lex was sitting at his desk, shuffling papers about. When she saw his eyes upon her, she gracefully shed her coat and threw it on the coat rack before fluidly sitting on the edge of his desk, crossing her legs. "So, you ready?"

Lex had sensed her entering the study, but hadn&#39;t wanted to give her the satisfaction of acknowledging her on the spot. When he looked up, she was just shedding her coat and the second his eyes fell on her outfit, he might just have had his first heart attack, because it sure as hell felt like his heart had stopped at the sight of Chloe in a dress that had to be illegal in some states at least. His eyes grew wide before he could regain control of his features. He cleared his throat as he forced his eyes to stay on her face, instead of wandering down to her cleavage.

"Chloe, so I see you decided to join me for tonight?" His voice succeeded to sound casual, while he was trying to fight down the instant hard on she had given him by sitting down on his desk, her already short dress riding up even higher on her thighs.

"Yeah, well," she said, taking in his the sight of Lex dressed all in black, "I figured that watching you hit on dim-witted bimbos all night should at least be good for a laugh." She smiled sweetly at him.

"Oh I can assure you that you will be my only interest tonight." He smirked at her as he stood up from the desk, revealing a pair of rather tight fitting black leather pants.

&#39;That&#39;s it?,&#39; she thought. Chloe had hoped for more of a reaction from Lex. &#39;Then again, he was probably used to seeing women dressed like this. She sighed deeply, her chest rising, and she put on her most bored voice. "I suppose." She uncrossed her legs, took her jacket off of the rack and walked over to Lex, taking his hand.

For a moment, he had a real problem breathing, as he saw her breasts almost pop out of the low cleavage. He closed his eyes for a second, willing his body not to react. He unconsciously tightened his hold on Chloe&#39;s hand for a second before he proceeded to lead her out of the study and to the garage.

Once there, Lex lead her past his cars to the section where his motorcycles were kept. He briefly wondered why he hadn&#39;t used them in a long while &#39;Probably comes with being a lame business man&#39; He shrugged of the thought pulling the now confused girl with him.

"Lex," she said, "I&#39;ve seen this movie, this is the part where the dumb blonde follows her untrustworthy male companion to a bloody and painful death."

Lex chuckled at her comment before answering her unasked question. "Chloe, trust me. C&#39;mon you&#39;ll like it, I promise. We&#39;re going to take a special ride for this occasion." He grinned at her doubtful look

Chloe didn&#39;t like the stress on the word ride. Her fears were confirmed when they rounded the corner and she saw numerous motorcycles of different sizes. She let go of Lex&#39;s hands and crossed her arms, "No way."

Chloe was mentally counting the ways that her outfit was not conducive to riding on the back of a motorcycle. There would be numerous levels of humiliation involved.

"Aww Chloe, are you afraid? Fraidy-cat&#33; It&#39;s just a motorcycle and I can assure you, I am a good driver." He grinned broadly as his eyes skimmed over his favorite machine, a Kawasaki Ninja 900 in midnight black.

Chloe couldn&#39;t help but laugh. "Did you actually just use the phrase fraidy-cat to try and goat me into getting onto a motorcycle? Besides, it&#39;s not your skills as a driver I doubt. Lex," she said, locking eyes with him, "look at what I&#39;m wearing, for god&#39;s sake." The minute her words were out of her mouth, she regretted them. She had just given Lex free reign to ogle her.

Lex didn&#39;t have to be told twice, hell he didn&#39;t have to be told at all&#33; He slowly let his gaze wander down her body, from her face over her long neck and exposed cleavage, lingering on the swell of her breasts that were barely covered by the flimsy material. His eyes traveled lower, drinking in her curves and the exposed skin of her slim legs, before they traveled back up again, until their gazes met.

"Well, it was your choice of clothing, now you&#39;ll have to live with it." He mentally berated himself for the slightly husky tone his voice had taken and quickly cleared his throat, turning around and striding over to a small locker. He pulled it open and took out two helmets, handing one of them to Chloe, who reluctantly took it, before pulling out two tight fitting leather jackets. He placed his helmet on the driver’s seat of the Kawasaki and passed another one to Chloe. He handed Chloe the smaller leather jacket, before pulling his on.

Chloe looked at the jacket dubiously. It was much shorter than the full length one that she was wearing. She knew that it was for safety, but she still wished that it covered more. She began to silently curse Lana. Lex straddled the motorcycle and grinned at her, challengingly. Chloe violently pulled on the jacket and sat down on the bike, momentarily forgetting the other reason this was a bad idea. When her skin came into contact with the coolness of the bike, she hissed and involuntarily grabbed onto Lex&#39;s shoulders.

"Not that I mind, but.." he took her hands from his shoulders, "You should hold on about here," and placed them around his waist. His thoughts were stuck somewhere between &#39;Damn this feels too good&#39; and &#39;Damn I should have taken the Jag, how am I gonna drive with a constant hard-on?&#39;, while he felt Chloe&#39;s body pressed against his back. He had himself made the semi-mistake to give her a jacket that he was sure was a number to small. So now her cleavage was pushed up high, pressing tauntingly against his shoulder blades. He put the helmet on and glanced back to make sure she was wearing hers.

"Let&#39;s go," he practically growled the words, before revving the engine of the machine and gunning up the short ramp to the exit. The gate slipped open like magic, just high enough for them to speed through, when he reached the end of the ramp.

Chapter Twelve - Dumb and Dumber

Chloe clung to Lex for dear life. The only upside to taking this form of transportation was the fact that they would not have to speak to one another. She didn&#39;t know if she could take one more innuendo laden conversation without breaking and kissing Lex. At the thought of his tongue brushing against hers, Chloe ground herself against the seat of the motorcycle. The blissful feeling that coursed through her body caused her hands to tighten around Lex&#39;s waist.

"We’ll probably need less than two hours, I had the motor slightly enhanced back in the days." Lex smirked, when he felt Chloe jump slightly as his words came over the mics in the helmets. Modern technology, a wonderful thing. He had to concentrate hard on the road in front of him, however, as he felt her tightening her grip on him.

Chloe knew that Lex expected an answer. &#39;There goes you&#39;re whole not having to talk thing out the window,&#39; she thought to herself. There was a dip in the road and the bike lurched, causing Chloe&#39;s lower body to become intimate with the seat once again. There was no mistake about it, she yelped.

Lex arched an eyebrow as he heard Chloe&#39;s yelp clear over the speakers. "Everything ok? I&#39;m sorry the roads here really need to be improved. I&#39;ll see what I can do about that when I meet with the mayor next week." He slightly notched down the speed of the bike, not really wanting this to be a painful experience. He loved the freedom of driving a motorcycle and he intended to take her on a ride more often.

"Yeah, everything&#39;s fine," Chloe said, hating the huskiness of her voice.

"If you say so, Chloe." His right hand let go of the handlebars and came to rest over her intertwined arms, stroking them almost absently, before it wandered back to guide the motorcycle. &#39;Something is going on and I&#39;ll be damned if I&#39;m not gonna find out what it is,&#39; he thought grimly.

Chloe couldn&#39;t help it, and come to think of it, she didn&#39;t really want to stop herself. When Lex stroked her arms, her hips followed the rhythm he had set up. Even when Lex&#39;s hand retreated, she couldn’t stop her hips from moving.

Lex swallowed hard as he felt her hips rocking rhythmically, grinding into him from behind. His cock stood to attention immediately and strained against the close confines of his tight leather pants. &#39;Should have gone for the fucking silk slacks&#39; he thought, while he fought to keep his attention on the road.

Chloe took a deep breath and stilled her movements. &#39;Get a grip, Sullivan,&#39; she forcibly told herself. "Where are we going," she said, abruptly, deciding that any conversation they had was better than this.

"Metropolis" He turned his head lightly in her direction. "I thought you&#39;d have fun visiting some club you sure have heard of, but would never get in." He grinned, even though he knew she couldn’t see it.

Chloe chuckled. "Lex, I may not have proper ID, but I&#39;m sure there are other assets I possess that would help me in that situation."

Lex didn&#39;t realize he had growled at her last comment, thinking about the way she would use her assets on complete strangers to have her way, "Not in this club, believe me Chloe." He tried to keep the lingering bout of jealousy out of his voice. "It just opened recently, and the owner is a close friend of mine. His sister had a rather…nasty incident at a club when she was still underage. So Steve is really sharp on the rule to let no person under 21 enter." Lex winced almost imperceptibly at the memory of his friend telling him, that Meggie, the sister in question, had become the victim of a date rape drug, not long after her 17th birthday, he couldn&#39;t imagine what he would do, if something like that ever happened to Chloe.

Chloe chose to ignore what was obviously a sensitive topic and honed in on the new information that Lex had given her. "So, it&#39;s a new club," she asked. "Run by your friend Steve..." she trailed off, ticking off the list of new information Lex had supplied her with. "Why do I feel like this night is not going to end well?"

“Chloe trust me, there won&#39;t be any trouble. It&#39;s the hottest place in town since it&#39;s been opened three weeks ago, but as I said, Steve makes sure to keep it clean." He&#39;d make sure she had her fun, but he was not going to get her into trouble. She did a good enough job of that herself most times.

"It&#39;s the Elysium Fields. The style is pretty much Greek since the Elysium Fields --" Lex couldn’t bring his sentence to an end as Chloe cut him off.

"I know what it is, Lex," Chloe said, testily. "It&#39;s the Greek version of Heaven. So, why did Steve-O name it that?"

"He has always been into Greek mythology, that&#39;s how we made friends in college. And he liked the concept of the Fields better than the Christian version of Paradise."

Chloe started to laugh when the image of Lex in a toga, playing the harp sprung to mind. She quickly recovered and asked Lex, "For some reason, I can&#39;t image male bonding that involves Greek Mythology. You&#39;re full of surprises, aren&#39;t you, Lex?"
"Always. Just wait and see, Chloe" Lex grinned smugly, even though she couldn&#39;t see it.


When the valet had taken away their cycle, Lex ushered Chloe to the front of the line. His hand resting protectively on the small of her back.

Chloe rolled her eyes at the way that Lex was acting, glaring at all the men that were looking at her as they made their way into the club. When they reached the head of the line, the huge bouncer nodded at Lex and Chloe and they were immediately granted entrance to the club.

"Wow," Chloe said, truly in awe at the decor of the club. "You&#39;re friend has done a magnificent job."

"Finally, Lex brings a woman here with some taste," a voice said, coming up behind the pair.

Lex swiveled around and grinned at his old friend. "Steve, hey-- been a while. I like what you did to the club." He walked over to the tall blonde man, giving him a manly hug with the pat on the back thing.

Chloe smiled as the two men embraced. When Steve turned back to her, she held out her hand. "Chloe Sullivan," she introduced herself. "And I&#39;m not sure I would call my taste &#39;good&#39; I am here with him," she said, smiling and gesturing at Lex.

Lex looked indignantly at her, before letting the comment drop. "So Steve, think you have time for a drink?"

Steve looked at his watch, then over to the bar "You go ahead to the VIP lounge; I&#39;ll be with you in a few."

When Chloe turned around and started to walk towards the stairs to the VIP lounge, Steve leaned closer to Lex in a conspiratorial manor "That one is a keeper, and hot as hell." He grinned.

Lex grinned back at his friend, feeling proud that he was the one that Chloe was here with. The grin quickly slipped off his face when he saw a man stop Chloe on the stairs and talk to her. His eyes narrowed as she laughed at something the man had said. He looked at Steve. "Do me a favor," Lex said, tightly, "spread the word that if anyone touches her, they&#39;ll have *me* to deal with." Steve looked slightly taken aback at Lex&#39;s words but quickly recovered. "No problem," he said. "I&#39;ll meet you two in a few minutes." He clapped his friend on the back and then disappeared into the crowd.

Lex sauntered up to where Chloe and the strange man were standing, a few feet away from the stairs to the VIP lounge. He came to a stop behind her and put an arm possessively around her waist.

“Come on, Chloe. Let&#39;s go and sit down.” He didn&#39;t even speak to the other man, just send him a threatening glare over Chloe&#39;s shoulder.

Chloe glanced over her shoulder at Lex and then slowly and pointedly looked at the other man, whose name she couldn&#39;t even remember. "You go on, I&#39;ll catch up," she said, locking eyes with Lex.

Lex seethed inwardly, but remained his calm. "Chloe, I&#39;m not letting you alone with a complete stranger. Now, will you come join me, or do I have to drag you up there?" He whispered the last part into her ear, letting his tongue flick briefly over the sensitive shell.

Chloe&#39;s body shuddered and her nipples tightened when she heard and felt Lex. She tried to at least control her breathing but it seemed to be a lost cause. The only thing she could control was her words, and she intended to use them as her last line of defense. "I&#39;d like to see you try it," she whispered back, turning her head towards Lex.

"Whatever my lady wishes." Lex purred into her ear, letting his breath graze over her skin as he slowly turned her towards the stairs. When he felt her body stiffen, he swung her up with one arm under her arms and the other under her knees. Making sure to let his fingers travel over the outside over her breast where he held her. He started to make his way further up the stairs.

Chloe began to thrash about in his arms. "I was kidding," she said, highly annoyed that, for once, Lex had listened to her. "Put. Me. Down." She enunciated each word forcefully, her mind on how short her dress was and what lay beneath it.

Lex grinned smugly at the highly embarrassed blonde in his arms. He set her down as soon as they had reached the top of the stairs, making sure that nobody got a view of what lay under her dress as he did so.

"It was your choice Chloe, and don&#39;t worry, nobody got an eyeful of what you hide under that delicious dress of yours."
He smirked as she turned an even deeper shade of red.

Chloe smoothed her dress out and shoved Lex in the chest. She turned on her heel and stomped in the direction of the VIP room, but groaned when she realized that she would need Lex to gain entrance. She sighed, crossed her arms around her chest and turned back to look at Lex. "Little help here," she said.

Lex&#39;s eyes wandered to her cleavage for a second. It was even more emphasized with her crossed arms pushing her breasts higher. He casually strolled over to her, letting his eyes slowly return to her face. "I thought you could get in anywhere, even without my help," he teased.

Chloe raised her eyebrows. &#39;Fine,&#39; she thought, &#39;he asked for it.&#39; She grasped the straps of her dress and moved them off of her shoulders, causing the front of her outfit to drop even lower. &#39;Another inch and I&#39;ll be arrested for indecent exposure she thought. She slowly walked back over to the bouncer that was guarding the room, swaying her hips and smiling softly at him.

Lex&#39;s jaw dropped as he watched Chloe. Before she could go through with it, he was at her side and pulled the straps up. "Don&#39;t even think about ever doing something like that again." He growled into her ear. With a curt nod to the bouncer they were through the door and inside the Lounge.

Chloe couldn&#39;t help but laugh at Lex&#39;s behavior. She winked at the bouncer as they walked past; the look of surprise on his face caused her to laugh even harder. She got herself under control and looked around the room, searching for a new way to piss Lex off.

The room had some of the same decor as the club below, but it was more intimate. Softer somehow. White, leather couches were pushed up against the walls and there was a waterfall behind the amply stocked bar. Chloe headed immediately in that direction.

As she felt Lex&#39;s fingertips grasping her hips, no doubt trying to restrain her, she gracefully spun away from him and continued on her way. She smiled at the men that she made eye contact with and when she reached the bar, the female bartender was openly smiling at her. "Excellent form," she said.

"Thank you. I try" Chloe said, gracefully sitting on a stool and crossing her legs. She leaned closer to the bartender and whispered to her, "So, the guy I came in with? What&#39;s he doing now?" Chloe was dying to know how Lex had reacted to her little show.

Lex stood a few steps behind her, running a hand over his scalp while he contemplated whether to strangle Chloe or take her right on one of these couches, to show her what she did to him. &#39;Talk about *me* fucking with *her* head,&#39; he grumbled inwardly. He walked up to the bar and sat down next to her

"Scotch for me, and a coke for the Lady." He fixed the bartender with a gaze, making sure she got the meaning. &#39;At least it&#39;s a female&#39; Lex made a mental note to thank Steve later for that.

The bartender smiled, highly amused at the couple before her. She turned back to the girl, "I don&#39;t think I need to answer your question," she said, before turning back to Lex. "Right away, sir." The bartender turned around and set about getting their drinks.

Chloe looked at Lex. "You do realize that you&#39;re ruining my whole vibe here, don&#39;t you Lex? How am I supposed to get dead sexy men to buy me drinks when you&#39;re sitting next to me?"

Lex just grinned at her. "You can try your luck Chloe, but I don&#39;t think the men here are after jail bait." &#39;At least I hope so.&#39;

Chloe chuckled. "Lex, by the number of heads turned my way, I&#39;d say you were wrong in your assumption. But," she said, her eyes scanning the crowd, "why don&#39;t we test your theory?" Chloe hopped off the barstool and walked around Lex, tapping the man that was sitting next to him on his shoulder. "Excuse me, sir," she said, innocently. "Would you take me home, knowing full well that I&#39;m jailbait?&#39;

Lex growled under his breath and shot the man Chloe was talking to a deadly look. The man was just about to answer Chloe&#39;s question, as he caught up with the silent threat that had just been issued.

Lex stood up and grabbed Chloe&#39;s arm, turning her around to face him. "Chloe. stop it." His eyes flashed with ire.

"I&#39;ll stop," she said, pulling her arm back, "when you stop acting like you own me Mr. Grabbyhands. Besides, where&#39;s this finesse that you promised to show me?" She put her hands on her hips and looked up at him. "Cause, so far, you haven&#39;t been too impressive in that department, Luthor."

Lex narrowed his eyes at her. "That is because *you* kept running after other men, since we entered this club." He continued "Hard to impress a lady if she isn&#39;t capable of staying with you for more than a second."

"Well, if you possessed any of this talent that you claim to have, wouldn&#39;t I have been crippled by it and, therefore, unable to even look at another man," she asked. Chloe watched as his jaw clenched. "So," she continued, "this is clearly your own fault."

"Fine. Have your way Sullivan. Go ahead and flirt all you like. But don’t expect me to pick you up from wherever it is you will end up as soon as you leave this club. In here, nothing can happen. But out *there* is an entirely different thing." He turned around and took the glass of scotch that the bartender had left there. He downed it in one gulp, before signing the bill. "If you seek me? I&#39;ll be down on the dance floor." He said, before he stalked off, leaving her behind.

Chloe’s mouth dropped open as she watched Lex&#39;s retreating form. "Hey, Sugar," the man behind her said, "if the offer still stands..."

"Drop dead," she said, stepping away from him, returning to her seat.

Chapter 13 - Kiss and Tell



The bartender watched her sip her drink as she pouted. "Didn&#39;t go exactly as you planned, did it," the woman asked Chloe.

"Not exactly," Chloe grumbled. "Not even close to exactly. But if he thinks that he&#39;s going to win and I&#39;m going to go down there first," she said, pointing in the direction of the door, "he&#39;s got another thing coming."

Lex was down at the dance floor, going through the motions. He knew his moves and the ladies showed definite interest, but he couldn&#39;t care less. &#39;If that bullheaded woman thinks I come crawling back, she has another thing coming&#39;. He continued gyrate his hips against some skimpy brunette that had made her way to him during the last song. The beat was pounding through to his veins, but he couldn&#39;t help but wishing it was Chloe grinding her ass against his groin instead of the stranger.

"Win," the bartender asked as she poured Chloe another Coke. "I don&#39;t see how you sitting up here, alone, constitutes winning." She looked at Chloe, waiting for a response.

However, Chloe couldn&#39;t come up with one. "Listen, I know it goes with the turf, but can you stop being all wise and stuff," she said, earning a laugh from the woman behind the bar.

"Actually, she can&#39;t," came a familiar voice behind her, "that&#39;s what I pay her for."

Chloe turned around and smiled at the owner of the voice. "Hello, Steve," she said, "glad you could join me." She patted the stool next to hers and he sat down.

"So, where&#39;s Lex," he asked, looking around the room, surprised that he would have left this woman alone for a moment

"Probably dancing with some brunette skank," Chloe said off-handedly.

"Uhm..mind if I ask why?" He frowned at the girl next to him, at a loss for a reason why Lex would leave her behind for a brunette. True he had had a thing for them in the past, but that had been casual sex or business. This Chloe girl here seemed to be the real thing, if the look in his eyes and the order Lex had given him earlier was anything to go by.

"Yes," Chloe said. "It&#39;s because he&#39;s a dolt."

Steve spit out the drink the bartender had just served him at the girl&#39;s words. "Can you elaborate some," he asked as he cleaned the front of his shirt.

Chloe sighed. "Well, he said some things and then *I* said some things and then he just walked off, saying that if I wanted him, he&#39;d be dancing. But, ain&#39;t no way I&#39;m going to break first."

Steve shook his head. "You two must be the most bullheaded persons to walk this earth. And him saying some things... Are you sure you didn&#39;t push the wrong buttons, first? He doesn&#39;t lose his temper easily, but with you, I don’t know if that applies." He looked at Chloe, sincerely concerned. Steve was sure they&#39;d make a striking couple, not only by looks, if the could ever get their act together.

"Hey," she said, defensively, "I&#39;m not the button pusher in this situation. He&#39;s the one who insisted on coming here tonight. Not me. He&#39;s the one that&#39;s being all possessive. Not me. He&#39;s the one who&#39;s probably got his tongue jammed down someone else&#39;s throat. Not me." Chloe stopped a moment. She looked up at Steve with bright eyes, "Unless," she started.

"Unless what?" Steve drew his eyebrows together, hoping she would finish her sentence. His look turned wary when he caught the glint in her eyes.

"Unless you want to help me out in that department," she said, quickly turning on the charm and trailing her finger down his forearm.

"Oh no honey, no chance there, sorry." Steve removed her finger from his arm and placed her hand back in her lap. "And if you did something remotely like this while he was around, it&#39;s really no wonder that he stormed off." Steve shook his head. He hated this whole mating dance thing people had going these days.

Lex and Chloe hadn&#39;t been the first and certainly wouldn&#39;t be the last going through this, but Steve found himself wishing people would just cut the crap and tell what they feel.

"Fine," Chloe sighed, not really expecting Lex&#39;s friend to take her up on the offer. "Will you at least keep me company for a little while? I know, tell me all about Lex. I can blackmail him later."

Steve grinned, oh the stories he could share... But that would have to wait. "If I give you one thing to tease him mercilessly for the rest of his days, will you go down there and give him a chance
Chloe bit on her bottom lip, considering the offer. On the one hand, she didn&#39;t want Lex to think that she had admitted that she wanted to be with him. On the other hand, a story that she could use against Lex for eternity. Plus, she could always say that she had only gone down to rub the new found knowledge into his face. "Ok," she said, smiling. "Spill it."

Steve grinned as he remembered how he and Lex had become friends. "So one day in his first year at college, I was a sophomore already, Lex tried to get into our frat house. And of course, he had to do go through the pledging process."

Chloe nodded and rested her chin on her hand, her elbow perched on the bar.

"So, the brothers made him streak from our house to the sister sorority house. He was supposed to run over there, ring the doorbell and then get the hell away before they called the campus cops."

"And," Chloe prodded. She wasn&#39;t positive where the story was headed but anything involving a naked Lex had to be good. Her mind began to wander but then Steve spoke up again.

So he got naked and ran over the campus, with his junk flapping in the wind. Just before he got to the house, campus security rolled up behind him, with their headlights flashing and siren wailing. The cops got out and put him in cuffs. Butt naked as he was. Of course the sirens and the headlights had peaked the curiosity of the girl in the house and they came to the window and got a pretty good look, if you know what I mean. Best is, the security man punished him by making him stand in front of that window, still butt naked and all lighted by the headlights for a good half hour. He was ready to kill by the time they let him go. Needless to say, the security was paid off big time for keeping his mouth shut, though Lex probably would have preferred to kill him off."

Chloe&#39;s mouth hung open, picturing an 18-year old naked Lex lit up by the blue lights of a police cruiser. Then, she burst out into uncontrollable laughter as she imagined how mad Lionel must have been at the incident. Her investigative nature took over, "So, did he get into the frat," she asked when her laughter died down.

"Of course he did. We had the time of our lives teasing him, but only until the next best thing came along. I had to stop him from running rampant more than once, but..we became good friends."

Steve smiled as he remembered some other things that had happened. &#39;Good old college times&#39;.

Chloe smiled softly at the tone of Steve&#39;s voice. It was nice to know that Lex hadn&#39;t gone through his entire life friendless and alone.

"So, now that you have your story, hold up on your promise and go to him." Steve placed a hand on her shoulder smiling at her.

"Go to him," Chloe asked. "What is this the 17th century?" Steve glared at her, aware that she was stalling. "Fine," she said, "if you&#39;ll excuse me, there&#39;s a bald man down there just waiting to be mocked," Chloe jumped off the stool and walked towards the door. She stopped midway and went back to Steve. "Thanks," she said, kissing him on the cheek. Chloe turned back around, walked out of the Lounge and started down the stairs.

Steve shook his head grinning. He knew there&#39;d be hell to pay, when Lex sought him out, but he hoped the fact that the story had convinced Chloe to go to him would dampen the blow.

Lex was still dancing in the middle of the floor. He had discarded of the girl and made sure he&#39;d be left alone, not sparing a glance to the women around him. He was strongly considering going back and searching for Chloe. &#39;Just to make sure she&#39;s ok. I&#39;m responsible for her, is all&#39; &#39;Yeah sure,’ the voice in his head that sounded suspiciously like Chloe piped up.

He kept grinding to the pulsing beat, contemplating his next move considering Chloe, when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He shouted to make himself heard over the music "Listen. I told the other ten girls before you..." The rest of his speech died in his throat, when he had turned around and his eyes landed on Chloe.

Chloe wrapped her hands around the back of Lex&#39;s neck and pulled him closer. &#39;Only so he can hear you over the music,&#39; she told herself. "So," she shouted in his ear, "tell me about the time you were buck naked in front of a sorority house, handcuffed." She pulled back, enjoying the look of shock that was prominently displayed on his face. &#39;Yup, SO worth it,&#39; she thought.

Lex felt himself actually turning beet red and hoped the ground would open up and swallow him - now would be a good time. "Uhm, Steve told you eh?" He pulled her closer. &#39;Just to stop her from running off again&#39; he reasoned

"Yeah," she said, beaming up at him. "In great detail, too. Would you care to add anything to the story? I mean, I&#39;d like to give you a chance to explain, I&#39;m just that nice." Unbeknownst to Chloe, her hips had begun to move in rhythm with the music.

Lex closed his eyes for a second as her hips started to grind against him. When he looked back he knew she must be able to see what she&#39;s doing to him. His arms tightened around her waist and he began to lead. "Steve will have told you everything."

Chloe nodded and pulled Lex to her again, continually grinding her hips against him. She could feel the effect she was having on him, and instead of backing off, she kept grazing her thigh against his erection. She whispered in his ear, "You do realize that when we get back, I&#39;m going to tell everyone we know that story, right?" She pulled back to gauge his reaction to her words.

Lex looked down at her, his pupils dilated and his breath coming in ragged pants by now. He leaned forward, placing his mouth directly next to her ear, pressing his lower body into hers. "What do I have to do in order to keep silent?" He growled, once again, letting his tongue flick over the shell, then blew a cold breath on the wet skin, making her shiver.

&#39;Doing a pretty good job right now, Lex,&#39; Chloe thought as she wracked her brain for a response. It would have been much easier if images of Lex ramming into her in various places and positions weren&#39;t flashing through her mind. She opened her mouth to respond, but Lex sucked her earlobe into his mouth and Chloe let out a needy groan instead.

When he felt Chloe shivering in his arms, he knew he had her. He pulled back from her ear and looked at her. Her eyes were half closed and her face seemed to be lightly flushed when the white beamer caught it. Lex leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, running his tongue over her lips and demanding entrance, while his hands ran up her back and pressed Chloe still closer to him.

Chloe moaned when Lex&#39;s tongue began to tease her lips. She did it again when his tongue slid against hers and she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. She moved her hips restlessly against his body as she explored his mouth, gliding her tongue over his teeth and the roof of his mouth.

Lex groaned as his senses were overwhelmed by Chloe&#39;s full body assault. She was on the best way to driving him crazy and if they didn’t get out of here soon, he&#39;d take her right here on the dance floor, club rules be damned. He pulled back from her and looked into her lust clouded eyes. "Let&#39;s get out of here." He growled starting to pull her away with him.

Chapter 14 - Moe&#39;s


Chloe entwined her fingers with Lex&#39;s and he practically dragged her off of the dance floor and out of the club. When the cool night air hit her body, she began to think more clearly. "Lex, we can&#39;t...you know, *do* anything, it wouldn&#39;t be right. I&#39;d be taking advantage of you."

Lex looked back at her in shock. &#39;She can&#39;t be serious&#39;. "Are you out of your mind? What do you mean take advantage? I want you. I&#39;ve wanted you for a damn long time now. There is no advantage taking&#33;"

Chloe sighed. She really hated to do this, but she had to. "Lex, you&#39;re not you. What happens if after we get the real Lex back he regrets..." she said, gesturing between the two of them. "I mean, you&#39;re not really in control of what you&#39;re doing, whatever is in your system is affecting everything you do and feel." &#39;Yeah, that sounded good,&#39; she thought. Though, her mind kept replaying the part of Lex&#39;s speech where he said he had wanted her for a long time.

"Chloe,” Lex groaned, he was still incredibly hard and had a problem with discussing this topic while his cock screamed at him to just take her.

"I want you, I know what I&#39;m doing. I&#39;m not out of my mind. And just for the record I am more like myself than I have ever been since I came to Smallville. Why don&#39;t you believe me?" He winced when he realized he was sounding like a whiny brat.

"I believe that you mean it *now*. But, what about later? When you get back to normal? We are sort of friends and I don&#39;t want weirdness between us when you go back to wanting brunettes." She shook her head, "We just can&#39;t."

"Chloe, what do I have to do to convince you? I don&#39;t want any skanky hoe&#33; If I did want that, then or now, you tell me why I sent away 10 other girls that were trying to come on to me back then?" Lex motioned back to the club, focused solely on her. He didn&#39;t spare the valet a glance when the man gave him the keys to the machine.

"There&#39;s nothing you can do," Chloe said, looking down. "It&#39;s just the way it is, Lex. Now, I think we had better go home." She walked over to the motorcycle and climbed on, waiting for Lex to join her.

Lex shook his head and admitted defeat. &#39;Fine, but the discussion is not over&#39; he thought to himself as he put on his helmet and straddled the bike. He violently kicked into gear and drove out into the street, heading for the route out of Metropolis.

Chloe kept silent as Lex guided the motorcycle through the streets of the city. He hadn&#39;t said a word since they had left the club and she had a sinking feeling that the rest of the time they spent together would be like this. Awkward and silent. &#39;Couldn&#39;t just jump his bones....nooooo....someone had to be all logical,&#39; a voice in her head piped up.

Chloe wrapped her arms more securely around Lex and leaned into his back, enjoying the only contact with him that she would allow herself for the rest of the night. She was abruptly jerked out of her thoughts when their transportation began to lurch.

Lex cursed under his breath when he saw the little red sign blinking. Out of gas. "I can&#39;t fucking believe it&#33;" he grit through his teeth and steered the bike to the curbside.

Chloe had to forcibly bite her lip in order to avoid making some cutting remark. Lex pulled the bike flush against the curb and dismounted, Chloe followed suit. She looked around and saw, about fifty feet away, a neon sign that said "Moe&#39;s.”

Lex kept the helmet in one hand, while he rolled the cycle. He definitely wished he had taken the fucking Jaguar instead. The bike weighed a ton. Chloe was walking next to him, holding her helmet in front of her, so that it bounced off her legs with every step. Neither of them said a word.

Chloe silently held out her hand to Lex and he gave her his helmet. "Can I help," she asked, not really believing how quiet her voice came out. Less than an hour ago she had been happily pressed against and aroused Lex and now she could barely even speak to him.

"No it&#39;s okay." He barely looked at her and kept walking. Lex cursed himself for the way this evening had turned out. &#39;Why couldn&#39;T I just have kept my mouth shut and given her what she wanted?&#39;

The two reached the parking lot and Lex put the kickstand of the bike down. "We need to find a phone," Chloe said. &#39;Way to state the obvious, Sullivan," she silently berated herself. Chloe walked towards the door.

Lex nodded, making his way over to the wooden door. He paused with his hand on the handle. "Chloe, could you please, keep silent and just stay close to me, ok?" He waited for her answer.

At first, Chloe&#39;s hackles raised at the fact that Lex asked her to keep silent. Then, she realized he was *asking* her and had said please. She nodded and Lex ushered her in the door with his hand on her back.

Lex swept the surroundings with a glance, it was exactly what he had expected. A seedy counter with a wrecked hustler for a bartender. The man was of average height with curly hair and his skin seemed to have a yellow tint to it. To the opposite side of the bar was a pool table and an old thrashed pinball machine.

The whole place was dark and dingy and Lex pulled Chloe closer to his body. For her part, Chloe was glad of the move. Her eyes flickered nervously around the room. She made accidental eye contact with one of the patrons and cursed under her breath when she noticed that he had elbowed one of his friends and jerked his head in her direction.

They made their way over to the bar and Chloe quickly blurted out, "We need a phone."

Lex shot her a look, before he turned back to the barkeep. "We need to make a call. Short distance. I’ll pay for it. Can I use your phone?"

Moe regarded the nice looking kids and rasped out, "Sure," as he placed an old, dirty phone on the counter. He turned around when he noticed that one of his customers was leaning over the bar, trying to drink directly from one of the beer taps. "Barney," the man yelled and ran to the other side of the bar, "how many times do we have to go through this....”

Lex picked up the phone and called for the operator. "Yes, hello, Luthor here. I need the number of a cab station near highway 5, we need a cab. And then I need a tow truck to pick up my bike. We are stuck at a bar called Moe&#39;s on the highway, about 20 miles outside of Metropolis."

As Lex hung up the phone, Chloe felt a hand descend on her shoulder, and it was most definitely not Lex&#39;s. She whipped around and saw one of the idiots that she had spotted when they had entered the bar.

"Hey beautiful," the one that had his hand on her said, slurring his words. "What do you say about ditching your friend here and joining me and my friends over there?"

Chloe quickly spoke up, not wanting Lex to get involved. "No thanks," she said, quickly and then turned away from them while shrugging her shoulders in order to get the man&#39;s hand off of her.

She felt a finger poking her directly in the back. She turned around again, "What," she said, testily, beginning to lose her temper.

"Sugar," the man said, leaning in and she could smell the alcohol on his breath, "I could rock your world if you gave me the chance. Have those fucking gorgeous legs wrapped around me...."

Lex caught the man’s finger and pulled his left fist back. He planted it square in the man&#39;s face and struck him down. Shaking his hand out from the impact. He seethed.” Never ever touch or talk to her again."

Chloe groaned, she knew that this would happen, she just *knew* it. As she saw the man get up, the placed her body in front of Lex&#39;s and held out her hands. "Stop, just stop it. We&#39;re leaving." The man stepped towards Lex and said, "Oh, he is, but you&#39;re not." He picked up a beer bottle by its neck and shattered the rest of the glass before approaching Lex. The man yanked Chloe out of the way, throwing her to the floor and swiped the jagged glass as Lex&#39;s head. Lex fended off the attack, disarming the man of his makeshift weapon before the hooligan&#39;s friend blindsided him, hitting him on his temple, drawing blood from his head.

Lex went down and as he got back up, he heard the distinct click of a shotgun loading. He looked up and saw the bartender pointing the firearm at the men. "You two," he said, moitioning to the drunkards, "sit down." After the men did as told, Chloe scrambled to her feet and helped Lex up, concern evident in her face. "Are you alright," she asked, brushing her fingers against his temple.

Lex winced but grumbled and "I&#39;m fine" none the less.

Moe held his gun steadily on the two men and said, "You kids better just go outside and wait for your ride. I&#39;ll take care of these two."

Lex nodded to the barkeep and gripped Chloe by the elbow, ushering her out of the bar. Both staid silent as they waited for the cab.

Though Chloe didn&#39;t talk to Lex, she was not idle. She ran her hand up his torso, checking for injuries, she turned her attention to the wound on his head. "We need to get you cleaned up," she said, breaking the silence.

"It&#39;s ok, Chloe. It&#39;s just a minor cut." Lex gently took her hand away and absently kept holding it, stroking his thumb over the back of her hand.

"You shouldn&#39;t have done that, I could have handled it," she said, getting angry that he was being so flippant about a head wound that was currently bleeding. &#39;He&#39;s had so many concussions that he fails to realize that the rest of us don&#39;t bleed from the head every other week.&#39;

"He. Touched. You." Lex growled, not in the mood to elaborate. At this moment the cab came up to them and came to a halt a few steps away.

"I can&#39;t deal with you like this," Chloe huffed and stalked off to the cab. She opened the door and motioned for him to get in.

Lex stalked over, not saying a word and sat down in the backseat.

"Will wonders never cease," Chloe muttered as she joined Lex in the back of the cab. "Where to," the cabbie asked and that was when Chloe realized that she had no idea where they were going. Technically, they could take a cab back to Smallville but it would take forever. She slumped against the seat. "I have no idea," she said wearily.

Lex turned his attention to the driver. “Back to Metropolis. Third Ave and the corner of Park."

"Do I even want to know," Chloe asked, closing her eyes.

"It&#39;s my penthouse. We wouldn&#39;t be in Smallville for another two hours and I&#39;m tired." Lex explained, then turned to look out the window, trying to quell a bout of nausea that came from the head wound &#39;Great another concussion.&#39;

Chloe nodded, not even sure if Lex was looking at her. "Fine, oh, and Lex. I distinctly remember you telling me that there would be no trouble tonight. So, even though it&#39;s infantile and childish I need to say it. I told you so."

"Glad you see this as funny." Lex grumbled. He hadn’t wanted it to turn out like that. Not at all. &#39;Great just fucking great&#39; He sulked.

Chloe opened her eyes and looked over at Lex. "I cannot believe this, you are actually pouting." She shook her head. "Unbelievable," she laughed to herself.

"Well how would you feel if an evening you planned to be perfect for the girl you" he caught himself. "wanted turned out as a complete disaster?" He returned to stare out the window now pissed. And the wound in his was starting to throb, which didn&#39;t help the situation, or his mood, at all.

Chloe tried to stamp down her smile, realizing that he was actually upset. "Lex, nothing is ever perfect. Hey," she said, placing her hand on his, "I did have a nice time. Mostly," she added, thinking about the past few hours.

Lex just took her hand and kept silent, continuing to look out the window.

[NightGlow]

That was a bittersweet chapter. I laughed at many an allusion but then I&#39;m still sexually frustrated with the rest of the characters...

Officially, I have no grounds for complaints but...

It&#39;s not fair&#33;

(OK, now I sound like the whiny teenager.)

[BlueSabby]

A/N: Blue: Ok, so I&#39;m still hacking up a lung and the gods have been conspiring (and I must be sick cause I just spent way too long trying to figure out how to spell that) to keep sabby and I from talking. So, if there be typos, blame me. Also, if you don&#39;t like where the chapter ends, my bad too.

Chapter 15 - Playing Nurse

Chloe thrust open the door of Lex’s penthouse and flipped on the light switch, muttering to herself as she took off her shoes.

Lex groaned, as he dragged himself into the penthouse, clutching at the still bleeding gash in his forehead.

Chloe stamped down the urge to comfort Lex. Instead, she crossed her arms and asked in a businesslike tone, "Where is your first aid kit?"

"Bathroom, mirror," he mumbled, pointing in the general direction of a door before he made his way over to the large leather couch and flopped down on it in an ungraceful sprawl.

Chloe continued her internal rant as she went into the bathroom and retrieved the first aid kit. She returned from the bathroom and sat on the coffee table across from Lex. She put the first aid kit down next to her and picked up a cotton ball, drenching it in hydrogen peroxide. She grabbed the front of Lex&#39;s shirt and drew him towards her, trying to clean the wound. "Exactly, what were you thinking? Were you even thinking? Did you see that guy; he was twice your size?"

Lex winced as she dabbed a peroxide drenched cotton ball against the wound. "He touched you," he growled, “I won&#39;t stand idly by, when someone is harassing my girl."

"Lex," she said, trying to control her anger, "I&#39;m not *your* girl. I&#39;m not a piece of property." Chloe continued to clean the wound, noticing that Lex was trying not to show her how much it hurt him. She was at an awkward angle, and realized that this would never get done properly. Chloe moved to the couch, placing one knee on either side of Lex, straddling him.

Chloe continued on with her rant. "Do I look like one of you fucking cars?" She knew that she had to keep talking; otherwise she would be forced to focus on the fact that her hot skin was now pressed against the soft leather of Lex&#39;s pants.

Lex had to suppress another groan. This time however, it was not just because of the burning of the peroxide. Chloe was straddling him and he began to imagine her naked and riding him. "I didn&#39;t mean it like that. Anyway, did you want that guy to touch you?" He glared daggers at her, daring her to tell him she had liked feeling the hands of that seedy guy on her body.

Chloe rolled her eyes. "Of course not. But, that&#39;s not the point. I&#39;ve learned to handle myself; I would have dealt with it. Instead, you&#39;re bleeding from the head, yet again. You&#39;re lucky that his buddies were too drunk to do anything, it could have been much worse." Chloe leaned forward, making sure that she had cleaned the edges of the wound.

Lex inhaled deeply, when her breasts came enticingly close to his nose. "Hey, I don&#39;t mind bleeding, if it results in you playing nurse." He smirked up at her from his place right in front of her cleavage.

Chloe smiled sweetly at Lex, gently running her left hand over his cheek. He never even saw it coming. Her right hand swiftly hit him upside the back of his head.

"Ow," his protest was muffled though, as the slap had whipped his head forward and right into the valley between her breasts. His distress quickly forgotten, he nuzzled into the soft pillow of her chest, his arms swiftly coming around her waist and holding her in place. Lex made a contented sound that strangely resembled purring as he burrowed his nose in the spot right between her breasts.

Chloe felt her body immediately respond to Lex. Her nipples tightened, as did the muscles in her lower belly and she pressed closer to him. She shook her head, and hoping her voice sounded normal, asked, "Lex, mind telling me what you&#39;re doing?"

"mphy" He mumbled into the fabric of her dress, his words undecipherable. He slowly let his hands wander up and down her back, stroking her bare skin. This had to be one of the best nights ever. Never mind the incident in the bar or the angry gash on his forehead. Lex was right where he wanted to be.

Chloe&#39;s hands found their way to Lex&#39;s shoulders, her nails digging into the flesh as his hands skated across her back. Seemingly of their own volition, her hips began to move and she heard Lex groan beneath her. &#39;Not good. Have to stop,&#39; Chloe thought. "Lex," she said, meaning it as a warning, but it came out too breathless for Chloe&#39;s liking.

Instead of answering her, he hummed in his throat, while his left hand traveled from the small of her back, around to her front. He slowly let his fingers skim over the exposed flesh above her cleavage. His mouth found its way to the swell of her right breast, closing over her aureole through the thin silk.

Chloe moaned at the wet heat that surrounded her nipple. The moan turned into a yelp as Lex gently bit down on her flesh. She could feel the bulge of Lex&#39;s erection pressing against the apex of her thighs as she continued to rock against him.

Lex removed his mouth from her breast and lifted his head up to her face. Chloe&#39;s moan of disappointment was swallowed as his lips closed over her mouth, his tongue delving deep into the hot crevice to devour her in a passionate kiss.

Chloe pressed her left hand against the nape of Lex&#39;s neck, deepening the kiss. She stroked her tongue against his, causing Lex&#39;s hips to surge upwards. She thrust back into him as she continued her assault on his mouth.

Lex groaned when he felt her pressing into his hardon and gripped her hips, guiding her motions, rocking her back and forth on his lap. His fingers dug into her flesh hard enough to leave small bruises &#39;Mine,&#39; he thought, before moving his fingers to the hem of her dress and slipping under the fabric to stroke along the outside of her thighs. He let them wander to her ass, taking a firm hold on it, once again guiding her movements on his rigid shaft.

The throbbing between Chloe&#39;s thighs worsened as Lex&#39;s hands gripped her tightly and pulled her closer. She felt both relief and frustration as she was now directly over Lex&#39;s cock. It relieved some of her tension, but she wanted to feel more of him.

Chloe pulled away from Lex, amused at the confusion on his face. She quickly pulled her flimsy dress over her head, delighting in the look of awe on Lex&#39;s face.

She smiled seductively at him, enjoying the feeling of power that coursed through her as she realized that Lex appeared to be immobilized by the sight before him. Chloe slowly licked her lips as she raked her eyes over his body. She slowly began to unbutton Lex&#39;s shirt. When she noticed that he had still not moved, she couldn&#39;t help saying, "Geez, Lex, please tell me that you have seen a naked woman before. Or, oh," she said, smirking, "will I be your first?"

With a low growl, Lex shook himself out of his Chloe induced stupor and flipped her over so that she was now pressed into the couch with him keeping her in place beneath him. He kneeled up, practically ripping the shirt from his body, before he swooped down again, his hands gliding over her flesh from her hipbones up over her flat stomach and along the sides of her breasts. It was now Chloe who was left paralyzed by the naked hunger gleaming in his eyes.

"Beautiful." He purred directly into her ear, before his tongue traced the delicate shell.

Chloe&#39;s body shuddered, though she couldn&#39;t tell if it was from Lex&#39;s voice in her ear or what his tongue was currently doing. Nor, did she care. Lex&#39;s body hovered over hers as he kissed at nibbled at her neck. She wrapped her arms around his back and pulled him down on top of her.

He braced himself on his forearms beside her head, careful not to crush her under his weight. His mouth left a wet trail of openmouthed kisses from her neck to her collarbone and up to her throat and chin again, before Lex returned to her mouth, claiming it in another fiery kiss. No technique or finesse, just open hunger and need.

Chloe returned Lex&#39;s kiss with passion, pulling his upper body down to meet hers. She hissed as she felt his naked skin against her sensitive nipples. As Lex&#39;s continued his assault of her mouth, Chloe&#39;s hands moved lower, gripping Lex&#39;s ass. She opened her legs wider and violently pulled Lex towards her.

Lex ripped his mouth away from Chloe as he felt his cock, which for some reason he couldn&#39;t discern was still in his pants, thrust against the juncture of Chloe&#39;s thighs. He moaned her name as she began grinding her hips into his, simultaneously digging her nails into his ass. His hips joined in the dance, while his hand came up to knead the flesh of her right breast.

Chloe wrapped her right leg around Lex, drawing him closer. She felt the cool leather hit her pussy and she whimpered.

Lex&#39;s hips bucked up at the soft sound coming from Chloe&#39;s throat and his arms pulled her closer still. He crushed her lips to his, pushing his tongue roughly into her mouth. Lex moved one of his hands and grabbed Chloe&#39;s left leg, pulling it upwards. She immediately understood and wrapped it around him. His hips became more insistent, pounding against her and she yelped his name.

That was it. Lex had had enough. He pulled back from Chloe and stood up, looking down at her. The way she looked was almost enough to change his mind. Her whole body was flushed and she was panting, her chest rising and falling rapidly. Her nipples were erect and her legs were spread wide. It was very tempting to just take her on the couch.

Chloe&#39;s eyes fluttered open. "What&#39;s wrong," she asked, huskily, as she sat up.

"Nothing, baby," Lex said as he took her hands and pulled her to his body. He placed her hands around the back of his neck and cupped her ass. Kissing her roughly, he started to lift her up. Chloe wrapped her legs around Lex&#39;s torso and hissed when she felt his skin against her wet, throbbing core.

When Lex felt Chloe&#39;s dripping pussy against his skin he groaned and his head dropped forward to her neck. Lex realized what had been happening to Chloe earlier on the motorcycle and it made him even harder. His lips found their way to her ear, but before he could speak, Chloe cut him off. "Save it," she commanded, "just take me to the bed."

[HumbugGirl]

Nooooooo&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

A/N: Ok Attention *drum roll* Here is the stuff you have been waiting for, well the start of the stuff you have been waiting for. Guess what I read over it&#33; So there shouldn&#39;t be too many flubs. Have fun.

A/N: Blue: So, we finally were able to get together and give you a new update. Hope it doesn&#39;t disappoint.

Chapter 16 - How many licks does it take... (Sorry bout that)

Lex obeyed and carried her to the master bedroom, placing her on the pristine white sheets in the middle of his king-size four poster bed.

Lex&#39;s hands glided down the front of Chloe&#39;s body. Her legs spread on instinct, allowing him to move into the cradle of her thighs while he continued his exploration of her soft curves. Lex smiled up at her and said, “Were you thinking about me when you put these on? Did you want me to see them? Did you want me to see your hot little pussy?"

Chloe&#39;s body was on fire. She arched upwards, trying to increase the contact between her skin and Lex&#39;s amazing hands. She realized that he was waiting for an answer but didn&#39;t trust her voice, she merely nodded.

His left hand wandered down to her curls. Lex gently stroked his fingers over her outer lips, all the while placing kisses on her collarbone and breasts. He looked up at Chloe. She had her eyes closed tightly and her breath came in harsh pants. "Did you plan on seducing me?" he murmured into her ear nuzzling her hair.

Chloe&#39;s hands tightened on the satin sheets and a long moan escaped her lips. "Did you hope it would make me hot and hard to see you in this scrap of nothing?" He ground his erection against the inside of her thigh.

"Can you feel my cock against your flesh? Aching to be inside you. To take you." Lex growled into her ear, his tongue darting out to lick the delicate shell.

"Yes, Lex," Chloe groaned, "I can feel it. But," she hesitated, thinking about what she was about to say. She opened her eyes and locked gazes with Lex. She licked her lips slowly. "I want to taste you," she whispered, her voice barely audible.

Lex groaned at her words, thrusting into the sheets beneath him. "Whatever you want Chloe." His voice was a hoarse whisper.

She licked her lips and said, "I want to taste you as you come. I want to swallow you, Lex."


Lex&#39;s eyes darkened and grew wide at her words. He felt himself become even harder as he imagined being enveloped by her warm, wet lips devouring his cock as he fucked her mouth. "Do I get a taste, too," he asked as his finger dipped into her core.

Chloe spread her legs wider and Lex slid a second finger in, groaning at the way her muscles were gripping him. "Yes," Chloe moaned, "you get a taste."

Lex bit into the skin right above her jugular, before rolling them over switching their positions, so that Chloe was now lying on top of him. When she started to trail kisses down his chest, traveling lower with the final destination clear, he pulled her back up by her neck and kissed her soundly. When he broke the kiss, his lips stopped only a hair&#39;s breadth from hers as he whispered, "I get to taste you, too, remember?"

Chloe&#39;s brows knit together, briefly, before she realized what Lex was saying. A surprised &#39;oh&#39; escaped her mouth and she began to blush as she got a metal picture of what Lex was suggesting. Chloe turned a deeper shade of red when she realized how turned on she was by what Lex wanted to do. She took a deep breath and said, "Ok, Lex," before kissing him once more.

When Chloe pulled back and looked at Lex, he smiled up at her. She started to reposition her body, crawling down from him, before she straddled him again, this time with her back to Lex. She could feel his hands stroking down her back to her ass, before he gripped her hips, pulling her back and closer to his mouth. Chloe placed her forearms on the mattress to keep her balance and bent down, when she felt her legs glide over the sheets.

Her mouth was now near his rigid cock and Chloe emitted a surprised little sound, when she felt Lex&#39;s breath grazing over her dripping folds. She was still a little unsure, but decided to go with what felt right. Chloe closed her right hand around his length, stroking experimentally up and down once, forcing a groan from Lex, that made her whimper in turn, as she felt him press his nose into her wet folds, licking a broad stripe from her clit to the bottom of her lips. Chloe shuddered and for a moment feared that her knees would give out, if it wasn&#39;t for the strong grip Lex was having on her. She came back to her senses and decided to have her first taste of him.

She slowly drew her thumb over the slit on the tip, smearing the precum over the head of his cock. Taking her hand back, she stuck her thumb into her mouth and sucked it clean, making sure to do it with enough noise to let him hear exactly what she was doing. Chloe moaned when the salty taste registered on her tongue and unconsciously rocked back into Lex&#39;s mouth.

Chloe moaned again when she felt Lex&#39;s tongue teasing her clit as he lapped up her juices. She placed her hands on his thighs and began circling the head of his penis with her tongue, he jerked up, filling her mouth with more of his cock. She relaxed her throat and lowered her head even more, running her tongue along his shaft as she swallowed him. Chloe groaned as she felt the weight and texture of his cock in her mouth. The pitch increased as Lex&#39;s tongue found her opening and he began to fuck her with his mouth

Chloe quickly thrust her hips in the rhythm that Lex had set up with his tongue. She heard small cries escaping her throat, which was also busy at the moment. Her mouth slid easily down his cock until she had him fully enveloped, with his tip scraping the back of her throat. She bobbed her head up and down on his shaft, sweeping her tongue over the tip, on every upstroke. When Chloe felt Lex&#39;s grip on her hips tighten, she took it as a good sign. His tongue began to circle her clit, driving her mad with anticipation. Chloe ran her right hand up his thigh and cupped his balls, gently rolling them in her palm.

He knew that he wasn&#39;t going to last much longer, but he was not about to come first. Lex stopped teasing her and sucked her clit into his mouth, roughly. Chloe&#39;s hips started moving frantically and he could feel the vibrations of her crying out on his cock. It was driving him crazy. He placed his right hand on the small of her back as his left traced her wet lips. Without warning, he thrust two of his long fingers into her cunt and bit down on the tight bundle of nerves. Chloe&#39;s whole body started to shake above him and his fingers picked up speed, as he flicked his tongue over her clit.

Chloe kept moving her hips as she came, drawing Lex&#39;s fingers deeper into her body. Her cries were muffled by Lex&#39;s cock, which was coating her throat with precum. She loved the way that he tasted and was now impatient to have her mouth filled by his hot cum. As soon as her orgasm subsided, she increased the pressure on his balls and released Lex&#39;s cock from her mouth. She heard him whimper in disappointment. Chloe spoke. "Come in my mouth, Lex," she said, huskily and devoured his cock once more. Lex&#39;s hips moved uncontrollably as he fucked her mouth. Chloe felt Lex remove his fingers and mouth from her body, she also felt his body tensing. "God, Chloe," Lex grunted and the next moment Chloe felt Lex&#39;s cum fill her mouth. She eagerly swallowed it and continued moving her head until Lex was spent. She slid his cock out of her mouth and placed a kiss on the thatch of auburn hair above it before moving off of his body.

Chloe briefly laid on her back trying to gain some semblance of control over her body. After a few deep, steadying breaths, she crawled back up the bed. Lex&#39;s eyes were closed and she was pleased to see that she was not the only one that was having trouble breathing. She smiled and brushed her lips against his.

Lex smiled as he felt her lips brushing against his. He hadn&#39;t felt this boneless in years. He couldn&#39;t get up now if he tried, not that he had any intention to leave this bed anyway, ever. His eyes opened slowly and he pulled Chloe close to him, wrapping his arms around her.

Their lips met in a languorous kiss and Lex took his time to explore her mouth, tasting himself on her tongue as she tasted herself in his mouth.

When she pulled away from him, Chloe saw that Lex was grinning. "Don&#39;t look so smug," she said. "I&#39;m still mad at you." However, the sting was taken out of her words by the smile that graced her face.

Lex grinned at her, leaning forward to kiss her forehead. "If you&#39;re still mad at me, maybe I have to work harder to relinquish your memory." He practically purred.

Chloe&#39;s smile quickly faded. &#39;What if he doesn&#39;t remember,&#39; she thought. The more she thought about it, the more logical it seemed. Every time something wacky happened to someone, they had no recollection of it. Chloe began to pull away from Lex.

Lex felt her pulling away from him and tightened his hold on her. "No you don&#39;t. What did I do wrong now?" He searched her face for the answer to his question, hoping she&#39;d tell him so he could take it back, or do something about it.

"Nothing," Chloe muttered. "I just...I don&#39;t think that this is a good idea. It&#39;s not you, it&#39;s me. I...I think we should go home, now." She pulled free of Lex&#39;s grip and walked back into the living room to retrieve her clothes.

Lex groaned, slapping his hands over his face "Chloe" his call was muffled by his hands.

Chloe pretended to ignore Lex&#39;s voice as she slipped her dress back over her head, muttering to herself. "Had to give in. Couldn&#39;t be strong and just say no," she said. "Where the hell are my shoes?"

tbc...

[staysixkid]

A/N: Blue: Thanks for the get wells. Chloe&#39;s not dumb......just careful. And if you don&#39;t like careful Chloe, I wouldn&#39;t read this chapter if I were you.

Chapter Seventeen - Stalemate


Lex jumped up from the bed and rushed into the other room, gripping her arms and turning her around to face him. "Chloe look at me." He dipped her chin up with his finger, forcing her to meet his gaze. "If you say nothing happened, why are you running away then?" He was more than a little hurt at her reaction. &#39;What have I done now to piss her off?&#39;

Chloe moved away from Lex, she couldn&#39;t take the way that he was looking at her. "Lex, please," she whispered, turning her back to him. "Can we just...can we just go home?"

"Chloe it&#39;s in the middle of the goddamn night and think, how do we get home without transportation? Can&#39;t you just tell me what&#39;s wrong?" He was getting frustrated that eternal seesaw between them was grating on his nerves.

She spun around, getting angry herself. Both at Lex and her stupid brain for letting it ruin what was most likely shaping up to be an unforgettable night and then forgetting that they had no way home. "What&#39;s wrong is that you&#39;re not yourself. This *cannot* go any further&#33; What happens when you get back to normal? What if you regret all of this? Can&#39;t you appreciate that I&#39;m just trying to make sure this situation doesn&#39;t spiral even further out of control?"

"Chloe, I will never regret this&#33; We&#39;ve been through that song and dance. I wanted you before this happened and if I should change back into the ponce I was, I will still want you." Lex sighed deeply, running a hand over his scalp. He was highly confused and at the end of his rope. Sure as he was that his emotions lay on a silver plate for her to see, he couldn&#39;t bring himself to care.

"Lex, you *can&#39;t* know that. Right about now, I think that you&#39;d say *anything* to get me back in there," Chloe said, pointing towards the bedroom. She lowered her voice, "I don&#39;t want you hating me after this is over."
Lex looked at her incredulous.


"Chloe, I could never *hate* you. Sure you can really piss me off and all, but you&#39;re really cool when you are not giving me a case of the blue balls or trying to lecture me. I like you, ok?" &#39;And that&#39;s not even half of it&#39; he added silently. "And nothing is going to change that"

"Fine," Chloe said, rubbing her temple with her right hand, feeling the onset of a headache, "you like me. I accept that. And since nothing will change that, can you just please understand that I don&#39;t want this to go any further?" She looked up at him, hopefully. &#39;Yeah, but do you hope that he agrees or that he grabs, then ravages you,&#39; the voice in her head popped up.

Lex closed his eyes and groaned. Now she was doing both the things he had just mentioned. But he was not going to drive her away. He&#39;d just breath through this and give in for now, sorta anyway.

"If I agree and promise to be a good boy, will you come back to bed and let us get some sleep before we have to drive home?"

"Accepted," she said, walking briskly back into the bedroom, with Lex at her heels. "But, I don&#39;t think that we should sleep together." Off of his raised eyebrows, she elbowed him, "I mean in the same bed, there&#39;s too much risk of you know..." she said, trailing off.

"Chloe, I promised."

"It&#39;s not you I&#39;m worried about," she muttered, then clapped a hand over her mouth when she realized her thoughts had, indeed, made it to the outside world.

"Well if you think you can&#39;t keep your hormones in check, maybe it would be good for you to sleep in the bathtub, close to a cold shower and all." Lex teased, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

Chloe *knew* that Lex was trying to piss her off, and she tried to control her temper and not rise to the bait. She failed, miserably, however.

"After *that* comment, the only thing you will have to worry about me keeping in check are my homicidal tendencies where you are concerned." Chloe violently pulled down the covers and then looked back at Lex. "I need pajamas. Go fetch me some."

Lex looked at her and blinked. &#39;Did she just *order* me around? I don&#39;t think so.&#39; He smirked and turned on his heel, wandering over to the closet. Shuffling around somewhere in the back he searched for something to give her what she deserved

After practically tearing apart the drawers he found just the thing. Grinning to himself he balled the fabric up and made his way back to the bed. "Here. This is the only women&#39;s nightwear I have, so you&#39;ll have to deal." He shot Chloe an evil smile as she caught the heap of cloth he&#39;d just thrown at her.

Chloe&#39;s mouth opened and closed several times as she held up the really flimsy red teddy that would do absolutely nothing to cover her lower body.

"Oh and by the way, in case you wondered...It&#39;s a left over from Victoria. I didn&#39;t come here since we dated." &#39;That should prevent any cross dressing remark she might try to come up with&#39; He walked over to the bed, shedding his robe and sat down on the mattress, facing Chloe

Chloe held the garment as far from her body as possible. "I am *not* wearing this," she protested loudly.

Lex grinned at her. "Well then it&#39;s either sleeping in your clothes or naked. Your choice."

Chloe actually thought that she growled before the next words left her mouth. "I&#39;m sure a bazillionaire like yourself has more than *one* pair of pajamas in this place. So, give them up, Lex."

Lex just shook his head and walked back to the closet. There was no need pissing her off any further if he wouldn&#39;t get anything out of it. He dug out his old favorite pj&#39;s. Black silk and by now a little too small for him. &#39;Should be a perfect fit&#39; he thought. He made his way back to Chloe and handed her the garment without further comment, before settling himself on the mattress, back propped up against the headboard and legs stretched out comfortably.

Chloe muttered a terse thank you. "Are you going to turn around or not," she asked, tiredly as she grabbed the hem of her dress

"Chloe, turning around is kinda pointless after what we just did, don&#39;t you think?" Lex smirked at her and fought the urge to shake his head at the "logic" of her and women in general.

Chloe glared at him and shook her head. "Stupid men," she hissed as she quickly drew her dress over her head. She slipped into Lex&#39;s shirt and buttoned it. She was glad to see that it was long on her, so as to block Lex&#39;s view of her lower body. She rapidly took off her panties and pulled the pants up to her waist, avoiding eye contact with Lex. Which was difficult because she could feel his eyes boring into her.

Lex couldn&#39;t tear his eyes away from her as she straightened up and went over to the other side of the bed. She looked incredibly hot in his pj&#39;s. He briefly wondered if it was really the garment, or rather the fact that she was wearing something of his that made him respond to the outfit that way. Lex brushed the thought away as she slipped under the covers staying on the edge of her side, so much so that it looked like she&#39;d fall out of the bed any second.

Chloe tried to put as much space between her and Lex as possible. That took care of the physical blockade. The mental one was slightly more difficult. Her mind kept replaying the noises he made when he was deep in her throat and she had to shake her head to drive them away. Then, she had to think of Clark and Lana to make sure they didn&#39;t return. "Night, Lex," she said.

"Good night Chloe. Be careful that you don&#39;t fall out of the bed trying to get away from me." He tried to keep his voice calm but winced at the slight twinge of hurt that had been audible in his last words. God for the first time he wished he didn&#39;t have a king-size, they were just too damn big. A queen-size would&#39;ve been enough or in this case a twin bed would&#39;ve suited him just fine.

Chloe wanted to comfort him when she heard the tone of his voice, but she was pretty sure that she knew where *that* would lead them. And she couldn&#39;t let it happen again. &#39;It was just a slip,&#39; she thought. The events of the day began to catch up with her and her eyelids grew heavy. &#39;Won&#39;t happen again.......unless it does,&#39; was the last conscious thought she had before drifting off to sleep.

Lex turned his head and looked at her. She had obviously fallen asleep and was still not moving an inch. He studied her for a while, before his eyes returned to a spot on the ceiling. He mulled over all that had happened during this incredibly long day. Gently touching the Band-Aid on his forehead he vowed he&#39;d convince her to give in. He didn&#39;t know how just yet, but it would come to him. Maybe while he was sleeping. His eyes drooped shut and he slowly fell asleep, lying on his back, his hands folded behind his head.

[HumbugGirl]

*smacks Chloe over the head violently with her silly shoes*

Argh&#33; Silly, silly, silly Chloe&#33; Okay, so I understand why she&#39;s doing it but still... its so damn irritating&#33;

[NightGlow]

Damn, this is frustrating&#33;

Stupid, stupid, obstacles that make the fic interesting. How I curse them&#33; :tease:

[Sandi]

Okay...repeat after me Sabby:

[...]

And now Blue:
I want to update
I need to update
I have to update
[...]

Is it working already?

[sabby]

I want to update, I need to update, I have to update.....

Nope, sorry Sandi, not working. You&#39;ll have to wait another day I guess.

Oh and on another note: STOP CALLING CHLOE STUPID&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

Don&#39;t you get it? I mean how clear do we have to make it? This is not the real Lex, and the real Lex will come back&#33; And if Chloe now goes head over heels with this teenage version, who sometimes is a real prick (and I&#39;m writing the guy) how the hell is she supposed to like the real more subdued Lex?

Sorry for the harshness, had to get that out of my system.

Thanks for all the reviews, tho&#33; They mean more to us then you can imagine, cuz we&#39;re doing this crazy stuff for you, no matter how bad we feel sometimes and are really happy if you like it.

hugs,
Sabby

[Sandi]

Well...it was worth the try :biggrin: :biggrin:

And since it hasn&#39;t worked I&#39;m giving up on my obviously not-meant-to-be career as hypnotist, sit back and wait patiently for your next chapter of chlexy goodness..

[Cheryl]

Okay, I understand why Chloe is doing what she&#39;s doing, but I just can&#39;t help the insane urge to just whack her across the head and scream at her that she&#39;s crazy for not taking advantage of such a... a... <searches for the right words>... of LEX&#33;&#33;

I mean, I would&#33; And I&#39;m not afraid to admit it. I&#39;m female&#33; Sue me&#33; :tease:

Anyway, I LOVE this fic SO much&#33;&#33; You guys are great writers, but as joined forces. Damn&#33; Hey, I&#39;ve got an idea. <conspirital whisper> I dropkick Miller and Gough while you two take their place. Nobody&#39;ll mind&#33;&#33; :hehe:

[Gemini]

I just read a whole bunch of chapters that I missed, and now I&#39;&#39;m in a really good mood :yay: This is one of the best versions of reckless-Lex ever. I love that they&#39;re together all the time, but never *together* it totally makes the whole thing more cliffy.

[TwirlWriter]

WHAT MORE NOW&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; I love it this is just to wonderful&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; I can&#39;t wait for an update&#33; Way to go Sabby and Blue&#33; :biggrin:

[BlueSabby]

A/N: Blue: Here be the next chapter. We&#39;re keeping the plot thing going, so consider this your warning.

A/N: Sabby: Yeah so what she said and I hope we don&#39;t bore you with all that plot. *sarcasm gallore here btw*

Chapter Eighteen - Sunday Bloody Sunday

The door to Luthor Manor burst open at an accelerated rate. It flew forward until it hit the wall beside it, hard. Lex stalked through the door and unceremoniously threw his house keys on the foyer table. Chloe cautiously walked in after him.

She watched, in silence, as Lex grumbled to himself and walked up the stairs, never sparing a look at her. When he disappeared from view, Chloe let out the breath that she had been holding and sat down in one of the plush chairs that was pushed against the wall. She cradled her head in her hands, wincing as she remembered the awkward morning she had just been through.

When Chloe had woken up the first thing she had noticed was a pair of strong, warm arms encircling her waist. She had quickly realized that one of them had migrated during the night, and was extraordinarily pissed when she realized it had been her. She had quickly extricated herself from Lex&#39;s grip, but not before he had also awoken. She’d seen the look of extreme displeasure that had crossed Lex&#39;s handsome face when she had pulled away, but she had chosen to ignore it and hurried to the safety of the bathroom.

When she had reentered the bedroom, she’d found the bed empty. Chloe had walked into the living room as Lex was hanging up the phone. "The rental should be here in ten minutes," he had said, curtly. "Get ready." He had walked into the kitchen then and Chloe had sighed as she’d gone to retrieve her clothes.

The car ride home had not been any better. The silence, and tension, in the luxury automobile had been thick. Lex had barely said two words to her. Except when he had asked wearily if it was necessary for her to change the radio station every five minutes.

Chloe immediately had taken her hand away from the radio and crossed her arms over her chest while she had started to look out the window. She had opened her mouth numerous times to start a conversation, but hadn&#39;t been able to find any safe topic. &#39;Hey, Lex, remember last night when you said my name as you came, that was a good time.&#39;

She had hoped that Lex would say something, but, with each passing mile, that hope had diminished. She was very glad when they had finally pulled up outside of the Manor. &#39;At least,&#39; she had though, &#39;there are plenty of rooms for me to hide from him until he calms down and decides to stop acting like a child.&#39;

Enrique walked by Chloe and she smiled weakly at him. "Enjoy your night out, Miss Sullivan," he asked.

"Enrique," she said, getting up out of the chair and accepting his hand when he offered it, "there are just too many ways that I can answer that question." He looked quizzically at her.

"Let&#39;s just say that, for the most part, I had a highly pleasurable time," Chloe immediately blushed, realizing how much she sounded like Lex and how suggestive her words were.

Enrique smiled at the blushing girl. "I&#39;m glad to hear that, Ms. Sullivan. And Mr. Luthor, did he find it pleasurable as well?"

He watched as the girl&#39;s cheeks turned a deeper shade of red. "Um, I think so," she muttered. Chloe licked her lips, remembering the way that Lex had tasted. She felt a familiar twinge in her lower belly and tried desperately to stamp down the arousal that was quickly taking over her body.

She took a deep, shaky breath and was pleased that there was only a slight tremor in her voice. "Well, I&#39;m going to go and take a shower," she said, silently adding &#39;and try to keep my hands off of myself.&#39;

Enrique watched as the young lady bounded up the stairs, all the while keeping her hands on the hem of her dress in order to maintain her modesty. He was glad of the action, sure that if his boss ever even suspected that he had seen any part of the woman that he was not sanctioned to, he would quickly find himself on the business end of a mighty firing.

Chloe was anxious to get back to her room and into some clothes that didn&#39;t make her feel as if she should be on the cover of Cosmopolitan. As she passed Lex&#39;s study, she peeked in and saw him sitting in his chair, his back to her, as he stared out the window. She reached her room and shut the door.

Lex looked out of the window, twirling a pen absently between his fingers. He was momentarily busy hating the world and cursing it for being inhumanely cruel. What in the hell had happened there last night. Aside from the incredible sex, that was. Lex just couldn&#39;t grasp what was going on. It seemed that every time he managed to take a step forward, something happened that would hurl him three steps back again. Being with her felt damn right to him and to face the truth she was like a wildfire in whatever she did. Free, consuming, hot and intense.

At the same time, she could have a scarily calming and comforting affect on him. Lex honestly couldn&#39;t even remember when he had held a woman in his arms just for the sake of holding her. Let alone the possibility that it ever felt so right. &#39;Ugh I start sounding like the ponce again&#39; He frowned as he scolded himself. &#39;Pissed, not hurt&#33;&#39; he reminded himself.

But it didn&#39;t really work; he had been hurt when Chloe had pulled away. Truth be told, Chloe had managed to hurt him in the last few days as much as he had probably hurt her with some of his cracks. But that was the way things worked. Keep dishing so people don&#39;t get the chance to really hurt you. Well or so it was supposed to work seeing as it hadn&#39;t worked with Chloe at all. &#39;How the hell did you manage to get in?&#39; he thought, an angry scowl taking over his features.

He wanted to be mad at her, but found himself unable, so he got angry with himself. &#39;Why do I always have to fuck up?&#39; Lex shoved that thought aside &#39;I&#39;m gonna do whatever it takes to get her, if it kills me.&#39;

Deciding to think of more pleasurable things for the moment, Lex&#39;s mind settled comfortably in the gutter, reliving the amazing escapade they had had in his penthouse. He started from the moment she started to nurse his wound, remembering exactly her scent when his face had been pressed to the valley of her breasts and his arms had held her tightly to him "Chloe" He murmured her name under his breath, closing his eyes to let the images flood him. Her scent, her beautiful, soft skin under his hands, her enticing taste on his tongue. The effect came instantly. Groaning, Lex adjusted his pants that had become uncomfortably tight in almost no time.

Chloe hung up the phone, sighing. She knew that Lex would be very unhappy with the call she had just made. Now, all she had to do was go and tell him. She took in her appearance before leaving the room. She had put on a plain pair of blue jeans and a simple, green shirt with a v-neck and her hair was still damp from the shower. She left her room and walked to the study, knocking on the door frame to announce her presence to Lex.

When he heard the quiet knock on the door, Lex swiveled around in his chair to bark at who ever dared to disturb him now. When his gaze fell on Chloe, leaning in the door frame, her hands folded in front of her and the shirt that clung tight to her curves, her hair damp and falling in disheveled strands, Lex had to physically restrain himself from jumping up and assaulting her. He took a deep breath, his hands gripping the arms of his chair almost violently. "Chloe, what is it?" He tried for casual and cursed the slightly growling tone his voice had decided to adopt against his will.

Chloe walked into the room and sat down in the chair on the opposite side of Lex&#39;s desk. She tried to ignore the way he was looking at her, and the way his gaze was making certain parts of her body feel. "Ok, don&#39;t get mad," she said, and then realized that that was the *worst* way she could have started this conversation.

Lex raised an eyebrow. Whatever she was going to say now, he was willing to bet a million that he wouldn&#39;t be happy about it at all. "Ok, what have you done, and what will it cost me," he said.

Chloe rolled her eyes. "Don&#39;t worry, I didn&#39;t break anything expensive and irreplaceable. I just told Lana and Clark to come over because we needed their help again." Off of the look in Lex&#39;s eyes, Chloe found the hem of her shirt to be the most interesting thing in the room and began to fiddle with it.

Lex took a deep steadying breath. He hated this whole deal; he really, truly, honest to god hated it. "Why." He gritted through his teeth.

Chloe looked back up at Lex. &#39;This I can do,&#39; she thought to herself. She was always good at explaining to people why her actions were right and logical. "We need their help again. We have to find the guy that&#39;s responsible. I want to go back to his house and check it out. But, I know that you don&#39;t want me to go alone so I called the only other people who know what&#39;s going on. They&#39;re on their way over."

When Lex opened his mouth, Chloe cut him off. "And, no, you don&#39;t get to go to this guy&#39;s house. Frankly, I don&#39;t trust you with him. God only knows what you&#39;d do if you had to confront him. And, I doubt that if he&#39;s unconscious that he&#39;ll be any good at answering questions."

"And why do you need both of them? Are you planning on sending the whole cavalry?" Lex knew very well, why she insisted on bringing both in. Chloe planned on using Clark as a babysitter again, and it pissed Lex off, royally.

&#39;Uh oh,&#39; Chloe thought. She had failed to realize that Lex could read her just as well as she could him. "No," she said, stringing out the word. "I thought that we&#39;d work it like the last time. Me and Lana going off to investigate and you and Clark....well, doing whatever you two did last time." Chloe saw the anger flash in Lex&#39;s eyes and braced herself for his response.

"And why would I need him here? I am an adult man Chloe, I can very well spend my time like I please and this whole deal is not at all after my taste." He seethed. "Don&#39;t get me wrong, I like Clark, he&#39;s a good friend. But I absolutely don&#39;t like it when I am being patronized in any way by anyone. In fact, I think I am gonna go out now, I&#39;ve had enough of playing your pet project for the next big story." Lex got up, his arousal long gone. He stalked around the desk, heading for the door, when he realized, he wasn&#39;t done here.

"In fact, I have enough of this whole thing. I&#39;ve had it with you treating me like a nuisance that you have to fed up with for the sake of a story. I&#39;ve had it with you playing yoyo with me, being responsive and passionate one moment and treating me like the big bad seducer the next. I&#39;ve had it with your constant excuses for not letting me in, on any level, while you have already run down my barriers and gotten under my fucking skin. I&#39;ve had it with you and this whole fucking situation. If you seek me, don&#39;t. I&#39;m away; I am not going to tell you where or how long, so don&#39;t even bother to ask." With every word Lex had gotten more aggravated, but also exhilarated. It felt incredibly freeing to let it all out; it felt as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He turned around and continued on his way to the door.

Chloe flew out of her chair, and ran towards the door, bypassing Lex. She slammed it shut and pressed her back up against it. "I&#39;m sorry, Lex," she said, her eyes locked with his. "But that is unacceptable."

"Unacceptable my ass&#33;" Lex shouted, gripping her by her shoulders and placing her aside. He opened the door and stalked out, not looking behind him.

Chloe ran after him. "Hey," she said, grabbing his arm and turning him around, "you can&#39;t just manhandle me and then just leave like that."

"Watch me doing it" He said coolly, prying her hands away from his arms before he continued on his way.

"We&#39;re supposed to be in this together, remember," she asked as she looked up at him

Lex inhaled deeply, his nostrils flaring. "Together?"

[Sab_Luthor]

hummm great very great. it&#39;s a pleasure to read it. :wub:
continue

[Impress]

Ok, I admit a part of me cheered at Lex&#39;s rant. Can&#39;t wait to see how Chloe convinces him to stay. Good job you two.

[hfce]

Wow that was intense. I can&#39;t wait to see what you come up with next.


Hope:)

[drina]

"We&#39;re supposed to be in this together, remember," she asked as she looked up at him

Lex inhaled deeply, his nostrils flaring. "Together?"


I just love this part...they are meant to be together. :biggrin:

[Blaire023]

together, huh? mmm hmmm, well well well, now she&#39;ll have to shuffle her feet and reword her words to not make him want to jump her, cuz it wouldn&#39;t be good if Clark and Lana came to the mansion and saw Chloe&#39;s legs wrapped around his waist pushed up against a wall.

or hold on, that would be pretty damn good wouldn&#39;t it?

B

[Carina]

I&#39;m loving this story, and I&#39;m ashamed to say I don&#39;t review it enough. This chapter was great; hee at Enrique perving on Chloe and I doubt Lex would be able to restrain himself at a simple firing. :biggrin:

I can&#39;t wait to see what happens when Chloe confronts Marty. Something tells me it won&#39;t go at all smoothly.

[Cheryl]

I love this story. Absolutely love it&#33; Amazing chapter&#33; I&#39;m so glad that Lex finally got everything off his chest, because it made it perfectly clear to Chloe that his feelings ran way deeper than she expected. She did get that, right? Right???? Please tell me she got that&#33;&#33;

I can&#39;t stand this little dance, in which Chloe is definately the lead. Just take advantage of him already&#33;&#33; :tease:

Did I mention that I loved this story? :biggrin:

[Val]

Update soon&#33;&#33;&#33; You can&#39;t just stop there&#33; :crygreen:

Ohhh the emotion, I really, really want to know what happens, I&#39;ve been so busy at work and then problems with my computer. I just need to know what he does......PLEASE&#33;&#33;&#33; :worship2:

[BlueSabby]

A/N: Sabby: Look&#33; We actually managed to update this, aren&#39;t we good? *g*

A/N: Blue: Ok, an update here and another one coming in our pure smut story......you had better be nice. Or, we&#39;ll cut you off.


Chapter Nineteen - Kiss, Make Up and Kill the Farmboy

Lex inhaled deeply, his nostrils flaring. "Together?" He spat the word out giving a derisive snort at the ridiculousness of her statement. "We have never been in this &#39;together&#39;, Chloe. You took over from the moment you knew what was going on. I am not even asked, if I want to be returned to my former self or whatever you want to call it. You never gave a second thought about what I want in this and it has been your will from the beginning&#33; I had to strike fucking deals with you so I could get to know you and you have done nothing to make it easier on me. In fact, you have taken *every* opportunity to push me away, whenever I thought I had finally gotten a step closer to you. There has never been a &#39;together&#39; Sullivan. It has been your will against mine from the beginning." His chest was heaving and his lips pressed together in a tight line. Lex didn&#39;t mean to hurt her with this, he wanted her to finally get where he was coming from.

Chloe pressed her fingers against her temple, feeling the onset of a headache. "Lex, you didn&#39;t *have* to do any of this. If you just want to throw away everything you&#39;ve been working for in the past few years. Fine. If you want to remain an immature ass. Fine. I was only helping you because the Lex that I know would have wanted me too. *He* would be trying to figure out who had done this to him. He would have been man enough to not be afraid about going back to who he was. And if you didn&#39;t want to go through all of this, why go along with it. Why strike all the deals with me?" Chloe was now at the level of anger that rivaled, if not surpassed, Lex&#39;s. With every sentence she had thrown at him, she had taken a step closer; she was now invading his personal space. A trick that she had learned from the man she was arguing with.

He looked down at her, all aggravated energy and fury and sighed, she still didn&#39;t get it. He tried again, this time without the screaming, more imploring her to understand.

"Chloe, what did the &#39;man you knew&#39; have from his life? I was alone, I was the town pariah, I had the goddamn world on my shoulders, my social life was non existent and my life revolved around nothing else except finding a way to beat my father on his own turf. Have you ever tried living like that? The way I am now, ok maybe I behave a little too brash sometimes, but I am free. I am finally able to do and say what I want. And the deals?" He shook his head, unwilling to believe she didn&#39;t get it. "If I had just asked you. Plain asked you on a date or to play a game or asked you out on any other activity...Can you honestly say you would have agreed? As I see it, you would have laughed me off and gone your merry research ways." He stepped even closer, bringing them almost nose to nose. His voice had become softer, while he had resigned to the fact that Chloe would never want to have anything to do with him beyond a story she could get out of him. Same old, same old.

"I would have laughed, Lex," she said, softly. "But, not for the reasons that you think I would have. Honestly, I would have thought that you were toying with me. You are, were, always so closed off. Every time that I thought I had gotten closer to you, you&#39;d be more distant the next day. I&#39;m sorry for pushing you away. I really am just trying to do the right thing. When you are back to normal, *I* will have to deal with my actions, you may not have to. I&#39;m the one that will remember all of you, there&#39;s a chance you won&#39;t. Please," she said, placing her hand on his cheek, "can&#39;t you understand that."

Lex closed his eyes for a moment as he let her soft touch wash over him. When he opened them again, their gazes locked. "Chloe, why is it so important to you that I become that man again, haven&#39;t you heard, don&#39;t you understand what I just told you?"

"I understand," she said. "But, I don’t&#39; think that you understand me, Lex. I want you. Badly. I have for a long time. But, I don&#39;t want you by default, because of some spell or meteor rock related freakiness. I want the man that I&#39;ve been bantering with for years, the man who challenges me every time I see him, the man that I&#39;ve fallen..." Chloe cut herself off and began again. "I want the real you."

Lex took a deep breath. "Even if that means that I&#39;ll close off again? What if I can&#39;t manage to let you in? I haven&#39;t before, what would be different then? I don&#39;t want to go back, Chloe. I want you, too, but I&#39;m afraid that there won&#39;t be a chance if I&#39;m back to my old self."

"It&#39;s a chance that I have to take, Lex. We both do. If I can&#39;t get the old you to let me in, then you don&#39;t feel as strongly about me as I do about you. And, I won&#39;t, I can&#39;t be with someone like that. I&#39;m worth more than that. Besides, the old you never saw me in a getup like last night. If everything else fails, that&#39;s my new plan B." Chloe pulled back slightly, in order to smile up at him

Lex returned the smile with a small smirk, before licking his lips, slowly. "I think if all else fails, plan B is definitely going to work. Though I am sure neither version of me would like to see you running around like that in the Talon." he frowned for effect.

"Well, I beg to differ. If, of course, it was closed and there was a private audience of one." Chloe impulsively leaned forward and kiss Lex gently on the lips.

His arms came around her waist, pulling her closer to him. "Now that sounds more like it," he murmured into the kiss.

Chloe locked her arms around Lex&#39;s neck and pulled him closer towards her. He groaned when their lower bodies came into contact and Chloe slipped her tongue into his mouth, lightly tracing it over the roof of his mouth.

As the kiss increased in intensity, Chloe pulled away. Hearing him groan once more, she looked up at him apologetically. "Clark and Lana are on their way. And, while I&#39;m not so sure about Lana, I&#39;m pretty positive that Clark isn&#39;t into watching."

Lex chuckled at that, trying to imagine Clark as a voyeur. "Well, there are some things he could learn from watching." He mused. "Still, I am not happy about you assigning a baby sitter for me. But I might live with it, on one condition." he trailed off, waiting for Chloe&#39;s reaction.

Chloe stepped away from him and placed her hands on her hips. "Wait a minute. If I&#39;m not mistaken, didn&#39;t you *just* tell me that you were sick of our little deals?"

"Well ok, then I will ask for it and take the rebuff." Lex sighed. "I want you to sleep with me tonight, Chloe." When she opened her mouth to protest, he cut her off. "What I mean is, I want to share my bed with you tonight. I won&#39;t start anything, I promise, but I don&#39;t want you to pull back from me either, ok?” The last line was delivered with a devilish smirk.

Chloe looked at the ground as she worried her lower lip with her teeth. She wanted to do what Lex was proposing....&#39;Fuck it.&#39; "Ok," she said, meeting his eyes. "But, no hanky panky and oh my god did I just say hanky panky?"

"Damn Lana," she muttered.

Lex bit on his bottom lip fighting for a few seconds against the laughter that threatened to spill "Hanky..." It was too much, and his shoulders shook with the laughter rumbling through him, his head falling onto Chloe&#39;s shoulder.

Chloe held Lex as he laughed and soon joined in. "You should hear what she calls sex if you think *that&#39;s* funny," she said, trying to pull some oxygen into her lungs between the laughter.

Lex looked up at her. "I think I want to know, I mean, how bad can it be?" He regained some semblance of control, his laughter by now only chuckling "&#39;Play hide the salami is about the worst I&#39;ve heard."

"Do you think *Lana* would be as crude as that," Chloe asked, wiping the tears from her eyes. "No, she calls it bucking the bronco."

Lex looked at her and blinked. "B.bbucking the? Ok. I think it&#39;s safe to say I&#39;m scared."

The pair were so busy holding onto one another so as not to fall from the laughter that was shaking their bodies that they didn&#39;t notice when Enrique lead Clark and Lana into the room.

Lana took in the sight before her and starting beaming. &#39;Not interested, my ass,&#39; she thought. She turned to Clark and saw a look of bemusement on his face. She let out a breath, glad that Lex wouldn&#39;t face any resistance from his best friend.

"Well, howdy strangers," she said, "long time no see, have fun last night?"

Lex and Chloe looked at each other. Chloe mouthed howdy and winked up at him. That was all it took. He broke out in full fledged laughter.

Chloe heard herself snort, which sent Lex into another fit. They both doubled over and had to sit on the floor. Lex kept his arm wrapped around her waist. When Chloe was finally able to maintain herself again, she looked up at her two friends. Lana winked at her and Clark was shaking his head while smiling. He turned to Lana and said, "I&#39;m guessing that that&#39;s a yes to your question."

Lana nodded. "Let me help you up, sugar," she said as she held her hand out to her friend. Chloe took it and Lana pulled her to her feet. Clark looked at Lex and he cut him off, "If you call me sugar, I&#39;ll never speak to you again." The farmboy laughed as he helped Lex to his feet.

"So what was the cavalry called in for anyway?" Lana inquired, turning her attention on Chloe. "You said you needed our help again, so what are ya up to?"

"Me, up to something," Chloe asked, widening her eyes and feigning innocence. "Nothing, nothing at all. I was just thinking that you and I could pay Marty another visit. I mean, I haven&#39;t done a feature on someone from the Future Scientists of America Club, of which I found out, through the internet, that Marty is a member of, yet so I figured he&#39;s about due for an interview."

"And," Chloe continued, "I&#39;m going to need my lovely assistant," she said, gesturing to Lana, "to take some pictures for the article, too."

"Of course you do, I mean what is an interview without pictures." Lana said mocking an indignant tone.

"So, what&#39;s the point of Clark," Lana asked.

"Apparently Chloe is convinced I need a baby sitter." Lex started and held up a hand at Chloe&#39;s upcoming retort. "But I think it won&#39;t be a problem, I&#39;m sure I will find a way to entertain myself and Clark if I can get him to loosen up a little. And I believe there were still some questions he was seeking an answer to." he added with a pointed look at Clark, then Lana.

Chloe was delighted to see that it was finally someone else&#39;s turn to look uncomfortable. Both Lana and Clark blushed and seemed to find the floor terribly interesting.

Lana quickly clapped her hands together, "Ok, so pictures? Sounds like a plan. I mean who doesn&#39;t love pictures?" An awkward silence descended upon the room and Chloe decided to rescue her.

She placed her hand on Lana&#39;s shoulder and smiled knowingly at her. She then turned to Lex, "Now, please tell me that somewhere in here you have some fancy, overpriced camera."

Lex shot her a grin. “Of course, you never know when these things come in handy. Digital or the boring stuff?” He walked out of the room, sure that Chloe would follow him.

"Boring stuff," Chloe said, unbelieving, leaving Clark and Lana behind to their own devices as she trailed on Lex&#39;s heels. "Lex, while I am all for technology, you lose something with digital cameras. Plus, you don&#39;t have any negatives to blackmail people with. I&#39;m surprised that that never crossed your mind."

Lex had lead her to a room that she had never seen before. Chloe looked around curiously, trying to place all of the gadgets that hung on the wall and were in glass cases. "Boys with toys," she muttered under her breath.

Lex had picked up the comment and swirled around. “Oh I have far more interesting toys than these.” He smirked, giving her a suggestive once over. “And I&#39;m sure you&#39;d like them, too.”

"Stop it, Lex," she said, in what she hoped was a commanding manner. However, she couldn&#39;t help the smile that crept upon her face. "Besides, cameras can be fun, don&#39;t you think?" It was her turn to rake her eyes over Lex&#39;s body. &#39;Stick to the plan, you idiot,&#39; her brain piped up. &#39;No jumping him.&#39;

Lex gave a mock pout and hurt puppy look. “Fine, but I&#39;m not giving up.” He grinned mischievously, then turned around and took a professional camera out of one of the locked glass cases. “Here you go,” he said, throwing the priceless object haphazardly in her direction.

Chloe let out a very interesting sounding squeak as she stepped forward to capture the camera in her hands. For one nightmare moment, she was sure it was going to slip through her fingers, but then her grip tightened and the disaster was averted. Once her heartbeat had returned to normal, she shot Lex a glare. "Let&#39;s not break things that are worth more than my entire wardrobe, shall we? I don&#39;t think I&#39;d want to explain to you later why the remnants of a 3000 dollar camera littered this room."

Lex just shrugged, and went back to her invading her personal space. “You can trash anything you want in here, and I wouldn&#39;t be able to stay mad for more than a minute.” His hand reached out and glided down over her chest. He took it back and past her. “Besides, do you really think the ponce cares about all that stuff? He could buy the whole company that produces them.” Lex walked out of the room and back to the study to join Clark and Lana.

Chloe took a moment to get her raging hormones under control. After many deep breaths, and checking to make sure that her nipples were behaving, Chloe walked out of the room and caught up with Lex. "You really do like missing the points of conversations, don&#39;t you? Just cause you&#39;re rich, doesn&#39;t mean that it&#39;s ok to trash the place."

By the time Chloe was done talking, they had reached the study. Clark and Lana had overheard Chloe&#39;s words and Lana said, "Wait, who&#39;s place are we trashing? Marty&#39;s? Cause I&#39;m all for that. Get to use my kickboxing again." Chloe watched, highly amused, as Lana kicked in the air, lost her balance and was only saved from crashing on her ass by Clark&#39;s arms.

Lex chuckled, and didn&#39;t even try to hide his amusement as he watched Lana&#39;s little stunt. How she had managed to actually hit the guy that one time in the Talon was still beyond him. When he had regained his composure somewhat he smirked in the direction of the two teens and spoke up. “I&#39;d rather you leave the house of this guy in tact. Wouldn&#39;t want to have to bail you out of the city jail.” He turned to Chloe, “Though, I bet you breathtaking in handcuffs,” shooting her a wolfish grin.

Chloe heard a *thump* and turned to see that Clark had dropped Lana onto the wooden floors as he stared at Chloe. &#39;Great,&#39; she thought, &#39;now *he&#39;s* imagining me like that, too.&#39; Clark quickly recovered, muttering an, "I&#39;m so sorry, Lana," to the pissed off looking girl on the floor.

Lex snorted at first when he saw Clark dump Lana on her ass at his comment. However, when he caught on to the gaze the farmboy was shooting his Chloe, his spine went rigid . His eyes narrowed at the brunette boy and his voice was dripping with venom. “You can get your mind out of the gutter and your eyes off of her now, Kent. It was just a joke.”

He walked over and pressed a chaste kiss to her cheek and a possessive hand on her waist now. “Be careful,” he murmured against her soft skin, “And actually I wasn&#39;t kidding.” before pulling back he gave her a quick pinch to the butt, then turned around to Clark and Lana again. “So Lana. I think you girls better get going. I think Clark and I have to talk,” Lex&#39;s eyes narrowed once again on the farmboy

Chloe knew that she should reprimand Lex for his actions, but she didn&#39;t want to make a bad situation worse. She was now unsure if leaving Lex and Clark alone together was such a good idea. Clark had paled visibly at Lex&#39;s words and Lex&#39;s eyes seemed to be boring into Clark.

Lana pulled herself up from the floor, rubbing her ass. She took in the scene that was playing out before her. &#39;So this is what&#39;s it&#39;s like not being part of the triangle,&#39; she thought. Chloe&#39;s eyes were darting between the two men, a look of concern on her face. Lex was focused on Clark, who looked as if he was about to wet his pants. Clark started to sputter out some words and Lana quickly placed her hands on his lips, "Please, don&#39;t try, I&#39;m quite certain that you&#39;ll only make it worse."

Clark nodded and shoved his hands into his pockets, silently praying that the floor would open up and swallow him. Chloe noticed that Lex&#39;s body was still tense and he looked as if he were just waiting for the opportunity to pummel Clark. She turned to him and said, "Don&#39;t do anything stupid while we&#39;re gone. I mean, you know he&#39;s not a threat, right?" Chloe looked up into Lex&#39;s eyes, hoping he understood what she was trying to tell him.

Lex inhaled deeply, his eyes softening as the locked with Chloe&#39;s. He gave a curt nod, hoping she had been aware of the double meaning behind her words.

Her eyes still on Lex, Chloe said, "You ready to go, Lana?"

Lana stepped away from Clark, smiling weakly at him and walked over to Chloe. "Yup, ready to get my snooping on." She held her hand out and Chloe gave her the camera. Chloe gave Lex one last, &#39;please don&#39;t kill my stupid friend look&#39; and then she and Lana left the study.

When the girls were out of sight, Lex turned back to Clark. The farmboy shot him a nervous look and started to shuffle his large boots over the floor. “So...” He offered hesitantly.
