Dedicated to Imp (Thanks for the challenge and the guidance hun.)

And hugs to hurtingturtles The Beast (that fic rocks)

Summery: This is my response (attempt) to Imp’s ‘Feral Lex’ challenge, where Lex becomes more feral ala Wolverine/Logan and has all the increased senses, strength etc. He also becomes even more attractive to women (I know hard to believe he could be *more* attractive.) And all the women try to get his attention except our favourite reporter, even though she is more than interested. All the usual suspects are present. Martha is not pregnant, Helen is around but she and Lex have never been involved. Lana is living with Chloe. And the Lionel/Chloe ‘chat/offer’ never happened.

********************************************

Chapter One – Red Moon

“Mr Luthor, there is a Dr Hagan here to see you, he doesn’t have an appointment.”

“That’s fine Sarah you can send him in,” said Lionel, “and make sure we are not disturbed.”

“Yes sir,” came the PA’s response over the intercom. A minute later the door to his office opened and a small, nervous looking man entered. “Daniel,” said Lionel with a smile, “please, have a seat. Can I get you something to drink?”

“No I’m fine,” muttered the other man as he took the seat opposite Lionel. “Look you said when I perfected the formula I could go back to the university and we could forget we ever met.”

“Yes that was our *arrangement*,” smirked Lionel, “so I take it that seeing as you are here you have good news for me.”

“No, I’ve just realised that I’m in a Catch-22,” replied Hagan. “We will never know if the formula is perfected unless it’s tested on a human subject. And I…I won’t do that.”

‘Pathetic little man,’ thought Lionel, ‘pity I need him for a little while longer.’ “Daniel, just tell me how far you think you have got?”

“The parasites from the cave provided that extra ingredient we were looking for, its secretions were just perfect.”

“Do you have a stable sample?” asked Lionel.

“Only one, and I call it ‘Red Moon’,” replied the doctor, taking a small vial from his pocket. He held it up and Lionel’s eyes widened for a second as he looked at the glowing red liquid in the vial. But as quick as it appeared it disappeared and the mask was back.

“Give it to me,” said Lionel, holding his hand out. With a shaking hand Hagan handed the vial to the elder Luthor. Lionel twirled the vial around in his fingers, watching the glowing red liquid flow. “How is it administered?”

“Injected directly into the base of the skull,” replied Hagan, “right here.” He turned his head slightly and pointed at the back of his neck just at the base of his skull.

“And are the effects as I specified?”

Hagan shrugged his shoulders, “as far as I know…yes. But without testing it on a human subject there is no way of knowing for sure. And what you hold in your hand is the only sample. I am out of some of the ingredients to make more, especially the parasites.”

“Daniel,” said Lionel with a smile that suddenly sent shivers down Hagan’s spine, “why don’t you head back to the lab and gather all you bits and pieces together.” Out of sight of the doctor’s eyes, Lionel pressed a small button.

“You mean I…I can go?” asked a shocked Daniel.

Lionel nodded. The doctor quickly got up and left the office. When he had gone another man entered the office. “Follow our good doctor,” said Lionel to him, “get all his research, every disk and piece of paper he has. And then…then make sure he disappears, don’t kill him, just keep him out of sight for a while.”

“Yes Mr Luthor,” said the man and with a quick nod left in the direction of the lab.

When he was alone again in his office Lionel picked up the vial form the table and held it up to the light. “I have a human test subject in mind,” he said, “I always have. You were making this specifically for him. Oh Lex my boy, you won’t know what hit you.”

--------------------------------------------------

“I’m sorry Lex, but your father waited till the very last moment to make his offer,” said the man on the other end of the phone, “and by then it was too late for us to make a counter offer.”

“Fine, fine,” said Lex, running a hand over his head. “I’ll call you later to discuss damage control.” He hung up the phone and stood up from his desk. He leaned forward and placed both hands on the glass top and took a deep breath.

“BASTARD,” he screamed and pushed everything off the desk. Papers, files, and his very expensive computer and phone went hurtling to the floor, smashing into pieces. Lex stood up and his chest heaved as he struggled to get himself back under control. “Damn him,” muttered Lex.

A couple of minutes later he left the office and called for one of the servants, “the office needs to be cleaned up,” he said, “and order me a new computer.” With that he left the mansion and got in to his car.

--------------------------------------------------

When Lionel’s helicopter landed at the mansion Lex had been gone about an hour. He made his way through the mansion to the study. He took the decanter of scotch from the cabinet and placed it on the table along with two glasses. He coated the entire rim of one of the glasses with a sedative and checked his pocket for the syringe filled with ‘Red Moon’. Smiling to himself he settled back in one of the armchairs and waited for his son to come back home.

--------------------------------------------------

“It is so kind of you Clark to help me with this,” said Lana. Chloe rolled her eyes and if she listened hard enough she could probably hear Lana fluttering her eyelashes. ‘I can’t believe that in the 21st century guys still fall from the damsel in distress routine,’ she thought, ‘and that any modern woman would stoop to using it.’

Suddenly the doors to the Talon flew open and Lex Luthor walked in, his long coat flowing behind him. ‘Bet Lex Luthor wouldn’t fall for that routine,’ thought Chloe as she watched him head to the counter.

“Lana, if you have finished batting your eyelashes at Clark could I get a large black coffee to go please,” he said. Chloe almost choked on the coffee she was drinking when she heard him. ‘Go Lex,’ she cheered inwardly, wondering what had him so pissed that he ragged on her royal pinkness.

A very flustered Lana began to get his order and Clark was about to comment but something about the look on Lex’s face made him back off. He turned away from the counter and continued to stack the boxes for Lana.

Resisting the urge to drum his fingers on the counter as he waited Lex threw his eye around the Talon. His gaze fell on Chloe who was watching him with an amused expression on her face. She opened her mouth as if to say something but Lex ignored her and moved his gaze from her. He turned to get his coffee as Lana placed it on the counter. “Put it on my tab,” he said picking it up and heading out, sparing no one a glance as he exited.

--------------------------------------------------

It was much later that night when Lex got back to the mansion. And he mood was ruined when he was informed his father was waiting for him.

“Lex,” said Lionel when he entered the stuffy, “let’s have a drink to celebrate my latest business acquisition?”

“You have got to be joking,” said Lex, refusing to take the glass from his father. “Lex, don’t be petty, you almost had this one. Now have a drink with me before I go?”

Lex took the glass and knocked its contents back in one go. “Congrats dad, now goodbye.” Lex turned away from his dad, but he had only got a few steps away when he collapsed unconscious to the floor.

--------------------------------------------------

As his helicopter took off thirty minutes later Lionel had a permanent smirk on his face. The now empty syringe was in his pocket. He glanced quickly as his son’s bedroom window as he flew off.

[krahmogh]

This has the makings of a great story. Please update soon. I love it when Lionel takes the upper hand like this. Will Lex find out that Lionel did something to him? And how does Lex strike back at his father? I will stay tuned hoping to find out. ;)

*******************

Chapter Two – Changes

It was the incessant buzz coming from his alarm clock that woke Lex up. His head was pounding; he reached out a hand and brought his fist down on the offending item, smashing it into bits. Lex never noticed what he had done; he just pulled the sheet over him and went back to sleep. If he had of looked he would have seen that the alarm clock had been completely destroyed.

Four hours later Lex woke up. He pulled the sheet from over his head and struggled to sit up, his eyes still closed. “Oh God,” he groaned as his head began throbbing again. He ran a hand over the back of his neck as he sat up. He opened his eyes and blinked a few times till he got use to the brightness. When they had adjusted to the light he glanced to the left to check the time, “what the fuck?” he muttered when he saw the shattered remnants that was his alarm clock. Lex checked both his hands for signs of any scratches or bruising that might have indicated that he had been the one to smash the clock.

“Nice one Lex,” he groaned as he slid out of bed, “you threw your alarm clock against the wall, and the bulk of it managed to land back on your bedside table even though it was smashed.”

As he made his way to the bathroom he tried to remember what exactly had happened last night. He felt as if he had a really bad hangover. “All I remember is having one drink with dad, and then…blank,” he said to himself.

Deciding that curing the pain in his head was far more important at the moment Lex took two aspirin and made for the shower.

--------------------------------------------------

“Saturday,” murmured Chloe as she padded around her kitchen. She was alone in the house, something that was exceedingly rare these days. Her dad had gone into the plant for a few hours, and Lana had already left for the Talon.

She grabbed her mug of coffee and headed for the front room, comfortably sitting herself on the couch. She was glad Lana was gone; all the other girl would go on about was the way Lex had spoken to her yesterday. Chloe had sat there listening to the brunette, nodding appropriately while inside she was cheering Lex for saying it. ‘Boy it must have really been a bad day for Lex to kind of snap,’ she thought. ‘Well as much as Lex Luthor could snap.’

Finishing her coffee awhile later she headed to the kitchen and washed her mug out. “Ok, keys, bag, disk with my editorial,” she checked off. Satisfied she had everything Chloe left her house and headed to the school to finish up the latest edition of the Torch.

--------------------------------------------------

After showering and dressing Lex felt much better, in fact he had never felt so good. All of a sudden the pain in his head was gone, his entire body felt…more alive than it ever had. Dismissing the notion he was sick Lex was a little puzzled as to why he suddenly felt like he did.

He left his bedroom and headed down the stairs. When he was halfway down he paused, he could hear two of the servants having a conversation, but he couldn’t see where they where. He turned his head in the direction of the voices. “Ok this is weird,” he murmured as he made his way towards the voices. He could clearly hear them, two female voices, discussing the mess he had left his office in the day before.

He smirked to himself as he heard one say she’d hate to be on the receiving end of him in a bad mood. He opened the door to the study where they were talking and both women jumped when he walked in.

“Mr…Mr Luthor,” they both stammered. Lex suddenly caught whiff of a strange smell; it was almost like…like fear. ‘If I could put a smell on fear,’ he added silently. He watched as both women looked at him, and an expression crossed their faces as if they were looking at him for the first time. Lex resisted the urge to look down to see if he had remembered to zip up his pants when both women’s gazes seemed to be rooted on that part of his anatomy.

“Is my father still in the house?” he asked, he knew quite well Lionel wasn’t there but he had to say something.

“No sir,” said one, “he left yesterday evening after you had gone to bed.”

“Fine,” replied Lex, and left the room. He was about halfway down the corridor when he heard the two women talking. And this time a smirk of pure male pride graced his features as he heard them both discuss how *hot* he was.

Something had definitely happened last night between having the drink with his father and waking up this morning. “Now all I have to do is find out what it is,” muttered Lex to himself as he headed out to his car. Although I bet my father has something to do with it.” He got into his car and headed in the direction of the Kent farm.

--------------------------------------------------

“If my son calls looking for me tell him I am not available,” said Lionel to his PA as he passed her desk.

Not waiting for any kind of a reply Lionel swept into his office and locked the door behind him. If ‘Red Moon’ caused any *changes* in Lex, which Lionel was expecting, his son would quickly figure out that he had something to do with it. So Lionel was going to avoid his son for a few weeks and let the formula firmly take effect, even though he wasn’t quite sure what those effects were going to be.

He was heading off tonight to Australia for six weeks and nobody except the person watching Dr Hagan and the man watching his son would be able to contact him. With an evil smirk Lionel looked forward to getting updates on his son’s progress.

--------------------------------------------------

Lex made his way to the back door and as he approached it Lex knew instantly that there were apple pies baking in the Kent kitchen, he could smell them as clearly as if they were in front of him. When he reached the door he knocked on it gently. “Come in,” he heard Martha Kent’s voice sound out.

He opened the door and sure enough there was Martha baking. “Mrs Kent, hope I’m not intruding.”

“Of course you’re not Lex,” she said smiling at him. “If you’re looking for Clark I’m afraid he’s not around, he’s helping Lana out at the Talon.”

‘Now there is a fucking surprise,’ thought Lex. “I’ll catch him there then, thank you Mrs Kent.”

“Lex,” she said, drawing out his name, “I think it’s time you started calling me Martha, and you are more than welcome to stay and wait.” Martha had moved over to him and rested her hand on his.

‘Ok, officially freaking out now,’ he thought, “that’s very kind of you…Martha but I’ll catch him in town.”

He made his goodbyes and left for his car, Martha leaned against the doorframe and kept her gaze on Lex’s ass the entire time.

Lex quickly drove off the farm, “you are losing it Luthor,” he muttered to himself, “Martha Kent was *not* flirting with you. Ok, let’s see what’s happened so far, crushed an alarm clock, had two maids comment on how hot I was, which of course is very true, and now Clark’s mother kind of flirting. What the fuck is going on?” He slammed his fist down on the passenger seat and it punched right through the leather. “Shit,” he muttered as he swerved his car in surprise. He brought it to a stop and turned to look at the fist sized hole in the passenger seat. Lex curled his hand into a fist and looked at it and then punched the seat again, the same thing happened.

“Whoa,” he muttered.

[Gemini]

Oh wow! That's so cool! I wonder what else Lex is physically capable of? Believe it or not I meant that in a clean way- great chapter :yay2:

Hehehe... Martha. That could be disturbing for Lex.

[Elviriel]

it's so great i love it ! pleeease update !

[xadie]

:drool: Ahhhh! Cooling fire extinguisher!

Loved this, loved this so very much. A combination of sultry slinky lex with pure animal lust Logan. I love this idea! Can't wait until a few more inhabitants (including our best girl, of course!) fall under his pheremone-fun spell! And also can't wait until he smashes a few more things - can I suggest Clark for being such a div all the time? Please? It'd be nice to see him get his ass well and truly whupped for once.

Please update soon? I'll love you forever! :wub:

[roslyn]

[hurlingturtles]

awwww, thanks! your fic sounds so much more in depth though, awesome! i'm excited to see how lex deals with his more animalistic urges ;)

[Impress]

You already know what I think of this one dear. But I'll say it anyway. You're doing great. I would say I can't wait to see how Lex deals with his feral nature and how Chloe reacts to him...but I already know. :hehe:

[vardaquareien]

Excellent!!! It's a very intriguing combination, suave sophisticated and emotionally aloof Lex with spontaneus, wild, emotionally charged Logan/Wolvie. It will be interesting to see how you balance the two.

Have to say Martha scoping him out was a bit scary! :ohmy:

Can't wait for Chloe to meet him! I wanna know her thoughts on the new Lex! :satanwink:

[ruafair]

Oh I'm so glad you're all liking this so far. Big thanks to Hope for her always continuing support and to Imp big hugs hun for everything...Fiona

********************************

Chapter Three – A New Man

Lex sat in his car for a least thirty minutes just staring at the two fist-shaped holes in the leather of the passenger seat. “What has that bastard done to me?” he said. His mind scrambled back to yesterday evening; he got back to the mansion to find his dad there. They had a drink, and when he had finished his he turned to leave saying goodbye to his father. And then…then it’s all a blank. “Till I woke up this morning with a raging headache.”

He got out of the car and began pacing up and hen on the side of the road. “Well whatever he did has resulted in my sense of smell and hearing to be greatly improved, not to mention strength as well. I wonder what else I’m in surprise for?”

He glanced at the car for a moment, thinking. He moved around to the front of it and placed his hands on the hood. Checking the road for no other signs of life, Lex slid his hands under the car and lifted. With surprisingly little effort he lifted the front of the car off the ground. He dropped it quickly and jumped back. “Ok, I think I am more than entitled to another Keanu Reeves moment,” he muttered. He took a deep breath and, ”Whoa!”

Despite the fact he hadn’t got a clue to the kind of experiment his father was subjecting him too, Lex couldn't help but feel slightly exhilarated at what was happening to him. He felt incredibly…powerful. “I wonder what else I can do,” he muttered. He looked around the fields that surrounded the road and spotted a scarecrow in the distance. “MMM.” Glancing up and down the road to make sure there were no other cars Lex took off running in the direction of the scarecrow he reached it in no time, “ok speed significantly increased.” He ran back to his car, he wasn’t even out of breath.

“This is too fucking freaky, even by Smallville standards.” He climbed back into his car and started the engine. He looked at himself in the mirror and couldn’t see any difference in his features. “I’ll wait and see what else happens to me today and then I’ll pay a visit to my doctor tomorrow.” That decided he started the car and headed towards the town.

--------------------------------------------------

“And that’s it done,” announced Chloe as she finished off her editorial. “And I have no life hanging around the school on Saturday and the fact it’s closed for the next few weeks.” But this was the last edition of the Torch until they all returned back to school. With Lana sharing her house and her dad earmarked for some business trips on behalf of Luthor-Corp over the next few weeks Chloe was going to be spending her time off in Smallville. “Lucky me,” she muttered as she turned off her computer.

“Decisions, decisions, do I go home and well pretty much stare at the walls, or do I go to the Talon and watch Clark stare at Lana. Oh what excitement.”

She grabbed her jacket and bag and headed out of the school.

--------------------------------------------------

As Lex drove down the street he spotted Chloe walking along. “Ok, the new *me* has maids and farm wives flirting with me,” he said with a smirk. “Let’s see if it works on sassy blonde reporters in the making.” He drove passed her and parked in front of the Talon. He got out and leaned against the door.

As Chloe walked along she spotted Lex leaning against the door of his car, looking as hot as usual. In fact if she were to be completely honest with herself she’d say he was looking even sexier than normal. ‘How that is possible I have no idea,’ she thought, as she got closer. She wondered if he would ignore her like he had yesterday.

As she neared him, Lex took off his shades and smirked at her. “Mr Luthor,” she said her voice normal, “out visiting the poor folk I see.”

Lex pushed himself off the car and walked over to her. He glanced back at the door to his car and almost gasped when he saw the small dents made in the metal by his fingers. “Chloe,” he said, “I like to drink coffee like any normal person.”

She smiled at his answer. And Lex felt something almost…primal inside him come alive at that smile. “Well Mr Luthor I don’t know about you but I need my caffeine.” She walked towards the door and Lex followed her, a confused expression on his face. ‘She’s not acting like the others,’ he thought.

Lana was chatting away to Clark when she saw Chloe walk in followed by Lex Luthor. They made their way over to the counter. “Hey Chloe,” said Lana, “and Lex, what can I get you?”

“Black coffee,” he replied not looking at her, he was still looking at Chloe who was acting like she always did around him.

“Latte please,” she said. Lex, Chloe and Clark stood in comfortable silence as Lana got their order.

“Here you go,” she said a moment later placing their coffees in front of them. “Thanks,” said Chloe, putting her money on the counter. “Now I don’t mean to be rude,” she said to them all, “but I’m going to take this over to the corner because I need to work on something. So if you’ll excuse me.” She grabbed her coffee and headed over to a table. She wasn’t lying when she said she wanted to work on something but it could have waited. She needed to get away from Lex, for some reason being around him was…difficult, he was like a magnet or something, drawing her closer. So she took the easy option and left them all at the counter.

‘Ok, so it doesn’t work on blonde reporters,’ thought Lex turning away from Chloe and bringing his attention to Lana and Clark. When he looked at Lana she had her usual smile plastered on her face, although this time it seemed brighter than usual. ‘I think I need my shades on again,’ he thought. ‘Someone needs to hit the dimmer switch on Lana’s smile.’

Clark blinked a couple of times as he watched Lana, and he couldn’t believe he was witnessing this, watched her make eyes at Lex. Clark glanced at his billionaire friend who seemed more interested in his coffee than anything else.

Chloe’s heart sank a little as she watched Lana give Lex the full ‘perky princess’ smile. It was the one she tended to reserve solely for Clark when she wanted him to do something for her. Chloe had never seen her direct it at anyone else, especially Lex. ‘Great,’ she thought, ‘I finally get over my crush on Clark and the only thing I feel when I see Clark making puppy-dog eyes at Lana is nausea. What does the pink witch do? She starts turning those doe-eyes of hers onto Lex. Ok, not like there was *any* chance of anything ever happening between him and me, hell he completely ignored me yesterday, but if there had of been a minute chance it’s just been ruined. What chance do I have with Lana showing interest? And what am I doing have this conversation with myself?’

Sighing deeply Chloe finished her coffee and stood up. She muttered a goodbye at the three standing at the counter and left the Talon.

Lex’s eyes followed her out as when she disappeared from his sight that primal part of him wanted to follow her. It wanted find out why she wasn’t reacting like the other women. Lex clamped down on that thought and gave the pretence of listening to what was going on around him. But his mind was thinking about going to the doctor tomorrow to see if he could get a handle on what was happening.

[hler]

Ooooh, I like souped up Lex....not that I don't like the unsouped up Lex, in fact I find him wonderful, but then when you compare....
*forcible shakes head and tells self to stop rambling*
Anyway, I like where this is going, and I'm guessing that Chloe isn't affected becasue she already thought him attractive.

Nice update!!!
:biggrin: ~Heida

[Gemini]

Hehehe! Loved it! :yay: :yay:

[Carina]

I'm loving this story! It's fantastic so far and I'm so glad you update daily. You're describing his increasingly sensitive senses very well; I especially liked his ability to smell fear, yet not recognising it as such.

Oh and you know you've read too many NC-17 Chlex fics when you read this sentence, “Till I woke up this morning with a raging headache” and subconsciously substitute the last word for... another phrase beginning with h. :blush:

Re: Chloe Sullivan

Follow Primal urge!!!!



Love it. I especially like that he figured it out in no time flat. I'm also hoping that primalLex will shoot Lana down hard.

Blue

That was always my theory.

Edited because I forgot (shame on me) to say your welcome Fi. *hug*

[hurlingturtles]

another great chapter! i love the way this is going, how it's slowly building up and everything. the way lex discovering his new abilities is interesting, too.

[drina]

Can't get over the fact that Martha is attracted to Lex, LOL. :pclol:

This is definitely looking good. I can't wait to read more of it, and I hope Lex get to show his dad his new power up close and personal ;)

[vardaquareien]

I'm also hoping that primalLex will shoot Lana down hard.


I totally agree with Blue. We've got supercharged, sexy primal Lex wanting our Chlo and her wanting him. The only thing that could improve this is sexyLexy making a fool of Lana!

[ruafair]

Chapter Four – Testing Limits

When Lex got back to the mansion he headed straight for the gym. He wanted to find out exactly what his body could do now. He changed into a t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants and padded barefoot over to the weights. He adjusted the weights to double what he would normally lift and placed his hands on the bar. Taking a deep breath he lifted them up. “Oh fuck,” he gasped as he lifted it with hardly any effort. He placed it on the ground again and added more weights, now quadrupling the weight he would normally work out with.

Again he placed his hands on the bar and once again he lifted to increased weight with no effort. “God I feel incredible,” he muttered as he placed the weight on the ground. Strength and power coursed through him. Smirking to himself he made his way over to the treadmill and stood on it. Turning to speed to a quick pace he turned it on, and began running.

--------------------------------------------------

Chloe was seated at the kitchen table reading and sipping her hot chocolate when Lana got home.

“Oh is there more of that?” she asked as she entered the kitchen and smelt the chocolate. “Yeah,” replied Chloe, barely glancing up from her book, “there should be enough for a cup for you.”

“Cool,” said the brunette and busied herself making a cup. When she was finished she sat down opposite Chloe and sighed. Chloe rolled her eyes and lifted her head; she marked her page in the book and closed it. “Something up Lana?”

“No,” she replied.

“Ok, fair enough,” said Chloe and opened her book up again, a small smile on her face.

“It’s just that…” began Lana again.

“Just spit it out already Lana,” Chloe was losing her patience. She knew Lana wanted to talk about something but as usual she wanted to be asked about it.

Lana gave Chloe her ‘why are you talking to me like that? I’m fragile,’ look and then continued on. “Chloe, I think I like Lex.”

“And…” said Chloe, “I like Lex as well.” Wondering what Lana was getting at.

“No Chloe, I mean like, *like*. And I think he likes me. I mean he talks to me about stuff.”

“He talks to a lot of people about *stuff* Lana, that doesn’t mean anything.”

“I suppose, but it’s not like you’ve had a lot of conversations with him though. Anyway did you notice how hot he looked to day? I mean he really looked incredible I mean I always thought he was cute…but today there was just something about him….” Lana continued to prattle on. Chloe didn’t pay much attention to her, ‘it’s not like you’ve had a lot of conversations with him,’ that statement kept playing over and over in her mind. And it was true, she could count the number of times she and Lex actually talked on one hand. In fact their conversation this morning at the Talon was the first time they had said anything, other than hello to each other, in weeks. She glanced at Lana and saw the girl was still talking. ‘Maybe if I dyed my hair brunette I might get a few more conversations with him,’ she thought.

“Thanks for listening to me Chloe,” said Lana after a while, “it’s so good to be able to talk to someone. You know with Nell not round anymore…”

‘Oh god please don’t let her talk about how everyone abandons her,’ thought Chloe, ‘please.’ “It’s no problem Lana,” she said, hoping to stop her mid-oh poor me rant. Thankfully Lana didn’t continue and inwardly Chloe breathed a sigh of relief.

--------------------------------------------------

Lex had been on the treadmill for three hours and he was hardly out of breath. Ninety minutes ago he had turned it up to full power and he had only started sweating in the last thirty minutes.

He turned it off and stepped off it. Grabbing a towel he walked over to the large mirror on one wall. Physically he couldn’t see anything different about him. And despite his obvious new strength he hadn’t developed a muscular build more than what he already had. “What have you done to me Lionel?” he said to his reflection. He had tried to get in contact with his father but was told that he was out of the country and out of contact. Lex knew quite well that Lionel was lying low for the moment; obviously waiting to see what the effects were of whatever he had given him. He knew his dad would be back soon enough.

The fact that his own father was experimenting on him didn’t really shock Lex that much. Oh he guessed it probably should, but nothing Lionel did shocked him anymore. Lex glanced at his watch…2.00am…he wasn’t tired at all. He was full of energy. He left the gym and headed upstairs to his room to take a shower.

--------------------------------------------------

Lionel sat sipping his coffee in the airport in Milan as he waited for his connecting flight to Australia. “Matthew, have a seat,” he said when the man appeared at his table.

“Dr Hagan is getting…restless Mr Luthor,” said Matthew. “He’s beginning to make a lot of noise.”

“Start giving him the sedative more frequently, that should keep him quiet for longer periods of time,” replied Lionel. “Any word from Smallville?”

“No sir,” he said, “ well nothing out of the ordinary,” he added quickly; knowing quite well that Lionel knew exactly everything that was going on.

“Well it’s barely been twenty-four hours, I guess I’m just a little impatient,” said Lionel. “Not too worry I have faith in Hagan’s work even if the man himself is nothing more than a worm.”

“Yes sir I will have an update for you as soon as you land in Sydney,” said Matthew. “Is there anything else?”

“No that will be all for the moment.”

“Yes Mr Luthor,” and with that Matthew stood and left Lionel’s table.

--------------------------------------------------

Lex walked out of his bathroom, a towel wrapped low around his hips. He held another in his hand running it over his head. As he entered his bedroom he picked up an unfamiliar scent. It was some kind of cheap perfume and another scent. ‘A woman,’ he thought. He felt angry that someone would enter his bedroom without his permission; his primal side had started to become more vocal since this morning. This room was his territory and it now had an unwelcome visitor. Lex’s eyes flashed amber and he turned in the direction of the scent.

“Mr Luthor,” came a feminine voice, trying to sound seductive, from the direction of his bed.

It was, Emma, one of the maids. “What are you doing here?” he asked, resisting the urge to growl at her. A light was switched on and he saw her lying on his bed, wearing a small blue negligee. “What do you think I’m here for?” she replied, trying and failing miserably to look seductive.

“Get out now,” he said, clenching his hands into fists and restrain himself from physically removing her from his room. “NOW,” he all but roared when she didn’t move. The girl scrambled off the bed, almost falling on the floor in her haste. She was muttering as she passed him and ran out the door.

Lex’s chest heaved as worked on calming himself down. He walked over to his bed and ripped the covers and sheets from it, tearing them in to shreds, eliminating her scent from his room. After a few moments he had calmed down but was still full of energy. Dressing quickly he opened the window to his room and looked down onto the ground. He was two stories up; smiling to himself he jumped out the window and landed on his feet.

He breathed in the night air deeply and his eyes turned amber. Smiling to himself he took off running.

:glow: Oh marvellous. Marvellous!

Stupid maid! Stupid self-obsessed Blana!

I love it!

:chlexsign2:

[Charlie]

My eyes, my eyes - Martha Kent hitting on sexy Lexy!! I'm blinded for life. I thought that the update would cure my blindness, but no, another horrible mental picutre. Now, Lana is flirting with Lex. I feel sick.

No, No, No we do not want to hear that Lana likes Lex. Chloe saying: "Lex, shut up and fuck me!" is something that sould be shouted from the rooftops.

Is Lana just stupid or did her mother drop her on her head when she was a baby? Just beacasue Lex talks to her doesn't mean that he likes her. Hello! he co-owns the Talon with you, you stupid girl. I desperately need an update to calm my nerves down and cure my blindness. Pleeeeease :worship2:

[dsapiro]

Stupid Lana, not everyone loves you. I can't wait till Lex shoots her down. Update soon! :yay:

[bluemoongirl23]

*snort* Lana thinking that Lex likes her. Yeah, ok, sure, Lana. She's ever so dumb. I'm dying in anticipation of Lex's and Chloe's next meeting. Give soon. Like now. Now. Now.

[staysixkid]

:ohmy: A Wolverine-like Lex is an unbelievably SEXY Lex. Hot damn! More!

[jem]

Lana and lex??? HA dream on lana....

woah.... heeheeheee loving this read

[Calliope]

Lana is so delusional. As if Lex would want her blah self.

Count me in the camp hoping Lex runs into Chloe while on his, well, run.

[NightGlow]

:goof: Lana and Martha!!! That is too funny. I really like this plot, especially the fact that Chloe is the only female in Smallville with enough strength to restrain herself--for the time being, anyway. We wouldn't want her to resist Lex forever.

[Julie]

Oh come on!!! Don't stop now! .... Now, get Chloe in on the action... pwease ? :biggrin:

[hurlingturtles]

Lana's such a moron, I'm glad you're writing her as such a self-absorbed character and not a best friend type. It's too amusing to mock her. now go and write more!

[vardaquareien]

I stopped breathing for a second there at the end, I must've missed the words
Dressing quickly and I was imagining sexyLexy taking his run in nothing but a towel!!! :drool:

...................sorry drifted of there for a second. mmm Lex,... towel...*shakes head* sorry 'bout that I'm back now!!! I just have to stop thinking about Lex and a tow- no! I'll think about Lana (lord that's brought me crashing down to earth!!!) Grrrrrr! :mad: Lana - KILL, KILL, KILL!!! :hammer: Thinking that Lex likes her!!! pfft! As If! In your dreams luv! *realises that she's yelling at fictional character, stops*

Anyway after much rambling, just what to say LUV it. Now MORE, MORE, MORE!!! :devil:

[ruafair]

Thanks for all the kind words my dears......Fiona

Chapter Five – The Exception

Lex sat on the table in the doctor’s office, clad in one of their very fetching gowns. After the incident with Emma in his room Lex had literally ran all over Smallville. When he got back to the mansion he discovered his room had been clean and fresh sheets here on the bed. The only scent on them was the fabric conditioner used to clean them. Before he left the mansion for the hospital he had given all the staff strict instructions to stay out of his room unless they had his permission to enter it, and anyone found in there without that permission would be sacked immediately. He had walked out of the mansion revelling in the scent of fear that had come off them all in waves.

He had told his doctor he just wanted a full check up, saying he was feeling a little under the weather. That statement couldn’t have been further from the truth. Lex had never felt as good as he did at the moment; every nerve ending was tingling. If he concentrated hard enough he could *hear* his heart beating, hear the blood rushing through his veins. At first it was unnerving but now listening to the sound was incredible.

“Well Lex,” said the doctor as he walked in, followed by another doctor, an attractive brunette. “I’ve looked over everything and you are a healthy as a horse. We are just going to take a blood sample and run some tests on that. But otherwise there is nothing wrong with you. Oh Lex this is Dr Helen Bryce. Helen this is Lex Luthor.”

Lex just nodded at her, while she smiled at him and moved closer. “Dr Bryce is going to take your blood sample. I’ll run the tests and get back to you in a day or two.”

“Thanks Martin,” said Lex. The other man nodded and left the room.

“So Mr Luthor,” said Helen, preparing his arm for the needle. “This might hurt a little.”

Lex rolled his eyes as she ran her fingers up and down his arm. She drew the blood, “ok all done,” and patted his arm again.

Lex got off the table and reached for his clothes. He turned and saw that Helen was still standing there, “is there something else Dr Bryce?”

“Are you busy this evening?” she said.

“Unfortunately I am, maybe another time. Now if you’ll excuse me?”

Helen sighed and left the room, not bothering to cover the disappointment on her face. When she left Lex laughed to himself and got dressed.

--------------------------------------------------

‘I have to learn to say no,’ thought Chloe, ‘see I just did I said no.’ She cleared off another table and took the dirty mugs to the counter.

“Thank you so much Chloe for helping out,” said Lana, smiling at her. “Yeah well, you have me for fifteen more minutes and then I’m done,” she replied, “I have other things to do.” ‘I don’t know what those things are exactly but they do not involve serving coffee,’ she added silently.

“That’s fine, Katherine will be in then,” said Lana, cleaning the counter. Chloe sighed and headed over to clear another table. As she wiped the tabletop for about the hundredth time she saw Lex pull up outside in his Ferrari. She watched transfixed as he got out and strolled into the Talon. She glanced quickly at Lana and saw that the brunette had her brightest smile on now that she had noticed Lex. ‘Better keep those shades on Lex,’ thought Chloe, and with great effort dragged her eyes from him and continued to wipe the table.

As soon as he entered the Talon Lex felt his primal side, his feral side make it’s presence known. He turned his attention in the direction of the scent that had woken that side of him up and was unsurprised to see Chloe standing there. She had her back to him and seemed to be absently wiping a table.

“Hi Lex,” piped up Lana, “what can I get you?”

“Black coffee,” he replied, his gaze still on Chloe’s back. Chloe’s reaction to him had been baffling and intriguing him. Ever since he’d begun these *changes* women had been going out of their way to get his attention. And he had to admit he enjoyed the attention. But Chloe Sullivan was different, she acted liked she always didn’t around him. And the feral side of him was just as intrigued as he was to her indifference.

“Here you go Lex,” said Lana, interrupting his thoughts and Lex barely restrained a growl as he turned from Chloe to acknowledge her. “Thanks,” he muttered.

Chloe breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Lex talk to Lana. She had been afraid to turn around, he could feel his eyes on her and wasn’t sure what she would have done had she turned around as he was still looking at her.

“Chloe,” called out Lana, “can you take this to table four?”

“Fuck,” muttered Chloe as she realised she would have to stand beside Lex while she collected the order. Taking a deep breath and putting on her best neutral face she walked over to the counter.

“Chloe,” said Lex as she placed her tray down and began putting the mugs of coffee on to it.

“Hey Lex,” she muttered, not looking at him.

‘She’s nervous,’ thought Lex as he picked up the slight change in her scent. He watched as she glanced at him briefly before heading off to serve table four. ‘MMM interesting,’ thought Lex, ‘what has Chloe nervous?’

Feeling a lot more composed now Chloe headed back to the counter and took her apron off. “Lana, Katherine has just come in, so I am officially finished," she left the apron on the tray and pushed it towards the other girl.

“Well seeing are you are done Chloe, can I get you a coffee?” asked Lex. Her brain was screaming ‘say no,’ but her mouth wasn’t listening and she blurted out “yes thanks.”

“A latte for Miss Sullivan please Lana,” he said with a smirk. “So what are your plans for the time off school?”

“Oh nothing really,” she replied, “just hanging about, maybe seeing if I can chase down some meteor stories. Making sure my dad gets off ok. He’s going to Metropolis for a week, some thing to do with the plant,” she explained.

“Ah yes,” said Lex, “I had forgotten about that. So you’ll be on your *own* for a week.”

“No,” she replied, finally looking him straight in the eye, “Lana will be there.”

Clark entered the Talon and spotted Lex and Chloe talking at the counter, he also saw Lana standing at one end, her gaze focussed completely on Lex. ‘What’s that about?’ he thought and made his way over. “Hey guys,” he said. Lex said nothing. Lana murmured a hello. “Hi Clark,” said Chloe brightly. “Well seeing as you have someone else to talk to Lex I’ll head off. Bye.”

Lex gripped the edge of the counter hard when Chloe walked out, fighting the urge to run after her, his feral side was…angry and upset that she was acting differently. ‘Well we will have to see about that,’ he thought.

*******************************

Chapter Six – The Admission

A couple of days passed and Lex felt himself get stronger. He also began to find it difficult to stop growling at things he didn’t like. At the plant, in the mansion, even just being around the town, if someone said or did something he didn’t like he felt like growling. And in some cases he just wanted to hurt the person responsible. His feral side was getting stronger and much more vocal, and Lex was having trouble keeping it under control at times. And it really tended to go crazy whenever he was around Chloe. Since he became a *pawn* in his father’s latest experiment, women had been even more attentive to him than usual, all women that is except Chloe Sullivan. It was driving him crazy; she acted like she always did towards him.

“Well, Gabe is off to Metropolis tonight for the seminar, he’ll be gone for a week,” he said to himself, “and I think I’ll be paying a *lot* more attention to Chloe.”

Just then his phone rang, “Lex Luthor.”

“Lex, it’s Martin. I’ve got the results of your blood test back. Are you free to drop by the hospital?”

“Is everything ok Martin?” asked Lex.

“Now Lex you know I can’t discuss anything over the phone,” he said with a laugh, “so can you drop by?”

“Ok, I’ll be there in an hour.”

“Good, see you then,” and the doctor hung up the phone. “Interesting,” muttered Lex as he hung up his own phone. Grabbing his car keys from the table he headed out.

--------------------------------------------------

“Chloe have you seen my…” Gabe Sullivan trailed off as she walked into the room carrying his suit. “Thanks sweetie,” he said, taking it from her.

“Are you sure you and Lana will be fine on your own?”

“Dad, I’m seventeen, I can look after myself,” said Chloe with a smile. “Yes, well,” grinned Gabe, “I’ve still asked Martha and Jonathan Kent to keep an eye on the two of you. Just in case.”

Chloe rolled her eyes as soon as her father’s back was turned. “Have you got everything?” she asked.

“Pretty much so,” he replied, “oh can you get the papers from the kitchen table for me?”

“Sure thing,” she said and made her way downstairs. ‘Alone for a week, alone for a week,’ she sang in her head. ‘Well except for Lana but she’ll be at the Talon or fluttering her eyelashes at Lex.’ Chloe felt a slight pang at the thought of Lana turning her perfect princess charms onto Lex. Brushing aside those thoughts she got the papers for her dad and made her way back upstairs.

--------------------------------------------------

Lex Luthor whistled to himself as he made his way back to his car. He had just come from meeting with the doctor. AS he had half expected the doctor had found absolutely nothing unusual with his blood sample. Lex knew that with his father behind this little experiment he would have thought of everything, and that included making sure whatever he had been given would not be detected.

Although he was furious with what his father had done, Lex also found himself completely enjoying the changes he was going through. He smirked to himself as he slid into the drivers seat, remembering turning Dr Bryce down again. Sure she was cute, but he really wasn’t interested. No, that interest was reserved for the one woman who didn’t seem to be throwing herself at him. He glanced at his watch before starting the engine, “I think I’ll see if Gabe has everything sorted for his trip,” he said to himself.

--------------------------------------------------

“Are you sure you’ve got everything dad,” called out Chloe as she went to answer the knock on the door.

“Yes,” Gabe shouted back.

“I bet he’s forgotten something,” she murmured. She opened the door to see Lex standing there.

“Miss Sullivan,” he said with a grin.

“Lex,” she exclaimed.

“Who is it sweetie?” said Gabe coming out to meet her. “Mr Luthor, what brings you here?”

“Sorry to disturb Gabe, I just wanted to see if you were all set for the seminar,” said Lex.

“Yes, all ready to go,” replied Gabe, “come on in.”

Lex stepped past Chloe, making sure his body brushed gently against hers. He cocked an eyebrow when he heard her sharp intake of breath, and he could *hear* the increase in her heartbeat. Smiling to himself he followed Gabe.

When Lex and her dad had disappeared into the kitchen, Chloe let out a long shuddering breath. Her entire body tingled from Lex’s brief touch. Shaking her head and getting herself under control again, she shut the front door and made her way to the kitchen.

--------------------------------------------------

After probably the most excruciating ninety minutes of her life, Lex finally left. Chloe breathed a huge sigh of relief as she watched his car drive off. She had sat in the kitchen with Lex and her dad. Somehow Lex had managed to sit beside her and every time he moved in his seat his leg would slide against hers and it drove her crazy.

She could hear Lana gushing about how she would miss her dad while he was away. Lana had specifically come home from the Talon to say goodbye. As Chloe entered the front room she caught her dad’s eye and she covered up her grin as he rolled his eyes at her over Lana’s behaviour.

“Oh there’s my ride,” said Gabe as he heard a car horn. He crossed the room to Chloe and hugged her tightly. “Take care Chlo,” he whispered. “I’ll call when I’m settled in the hotel.”

“Have fun dad,” she whispered, hugging him back.

Both Lana and Chloe stood at the front door and watched as Gabe took off. “I hate goodbyes,” muttered Lana. ‘Shut the fuck up,’ thought Chloe.

“Well I’m back to the Talon,” she said brightly after a moment. “See you later Chloe.”

“Bye,” said Chloe, plastering a smile on her face. “Ah alone at last,” she said when Lana was gone. “I think a bath in is order.”

--------------------------------------------------

Lex had thoroughly enjoyed every minute of sitting in the Sullivan kitchen. His feral side was almost purring with delight at being so close to Chloe. And the fact she had seemed so *uncomfortable* the entire time intrigued him.

After getting back to the mansion, he left his car in the garage and ran all the way back to the Sullivan house. The porch light was on, as was two lights upstairs. He made his way around to the back of the house. Looking up at the small balcony, he jumped up onto it. He made his way around to the first window where the light was coming from and looked in, he saw Chloe, wrapped in just a towel finish rubbing a towel through her wet hair.

He moved around to the other window and saw that it looked into Chloe’s bedroom. Chloe appeared and stood in front of a mirror. Lex’s breathing grew ragged as he looked at her standing there, clad in just a towel, droplets of water running down her skin.

--------------------------------------------------

Chloe sighed as she stared at herself in the mirror. ‘Like he’d ever be interested,’ she thought. She went over to her bed and lay back on it.

Lex groaned as the action caused the towel to ride up higher. His eyes flashed amber as he watched her run a hand over her breasts and down over her stomach.

“Do it Chloe,” he whispered.

Chloe rested her hand over her groin and rubbed the towel gently against it, moaning softly. Closing her eyes she pictured someone else’s hand, and rubbed harder, “Lex,” she moaned.

Outside her window Lex jumped back onto the ground. He fell to his knees and breathed hard. He wanted to crash through the window, rip the towel from her body and pound into her till she couldn’t take it anymore.

“She does want me,” he whispered smugly. He glanced up at the window again and concentrated, he could hear the breathy moans and gasps as she pleasured herself.

“Not yet,” he said to himself as he closed his eyes. When he opened them again they were amber, growling to himself he took off running, the way Chloe moaned him name playing in his mind.

“She’ll be screaming it soon enough,” he said.

Chapter Seven – The Pursuit Begins

It had been two days since Lex had discovered that Chloe wanted him and he had been avoiding her. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to be around the sexy blonde; in fact it was quite the opposite. It was just that every time he caught a glimpse of her or he entered the Talon after she had been there and he could still pick up her scent all he wanted to do was find her and take her to his bed for days.

There was a reason she acted normally in front of him, Lex was sure of that. And he wanted to know what that was. But it was getting more and more difficult not to give into his feral side and just *take* her. ‘Fuck her now, ask questions later,’ it kept whispering to him. ‘Think of it, that supple, nubile body beneath us, moaning and gasping as we thrust into her. Our cock buried in that tight pussy, Chloe screaming our name over and over again as she comes. She is ours, she is our mate…claim her.’

Lex closed his eyes and gripped the armrests of the chair, his cock straining against his pants as he pictured Chloe beneath him, and on top of him, using his body to pleasure herself. ‘Claim her,’ his feral side spoke up, ‘she is ours.’

“Fuck,” he growled and ripped the armrests out off the chair. He threw them on the floor and headed up stairs to his bathroom. He tore off his clothes and gripped his cock, stroking it hard and fast. He grunted Chloe’s name as he jerked off. His eyes shot open and flashed amber as he came with a groan.

“Soon,” he panted, “I’ll have her soon,” and his feral side nodded in agreement.

--------------------------------------------------

“Hey Chloe,” said Pete.

“Mr Ross,” she replied with a grin, “I thought you were heading off for this week. They stood talking outside the supermarket.

“Yeah I had planned to be away but that kind of fell through,” he said. “So what are you up to?”

“Grocery shopping,” she replied, “oh I know, I mean could my life get any more exciting. But there literally isn’t a thing in the house. You have thought my dad would have organised all this before he went away.”

“He’s such a bad parent,” chuckled Pete. “Well my friend,” slinging an arm around her shoulders, “let me accompany you on your trip.”

“I just hope you can handle the excitement Pete,” she joked as they entered the super market.

--------------------------------------------------

Lex was walking down the street when he spotted Chloe in the supermarket. Smirking to himself he entered the store and made his way through the aisles towards her. He came to a stop before actually reaching her when he noticed she wasn’t alone. Pete Ross was with her and they were laughing about something. Lex narrowed his eyes as he watched Pete nudge her shoulder in a friendly manner.

Chloe handed a piece of paper to Pete and pointed him towards the back of the store. Pete mock saluted her and headed off. As she made her way along the aisle, which only had a couple of other people in it, Lex made his way over to her. As he got closer her scent began to fill his nose, “Chloe,” he all but purred to her.

“Lex,” she exclaimed turning around and facing him. “Hi, what brings you to the supermarket? I would have thought somebody else would look after all your shopping needs.” ‘Ok,’ she thought, ‘not my best shot at him but it will have to do. God he looks hot.’

“Maybe it’s not my shopping *needs* I’m in here for,” he replied with a wolfish grin.

Chloe’s breath caught slightly when she heard his answer and suddenly he was much closer to her. “I…I,” she began, and inwardly cursed herself for stammering. But it was so difficult to think straight with him being so close, she glanced down at his hands and visions of those long fingers stroking her flooded her mind. She bit her lip to prevent herself groaning. Lex’s eyes widened as he smelt her arousal and he leaned into her. He placed his hands either side of her, resting against the shelves. Lex stared into her eyes, he could see confusion and a hint of fear in them, but what he focussed on was the flicker of desire in them. His hands literally itched to slip between her legs and touch the wet crotch of her panties.

“Chloe,” Pete’s voice sounded out, “I couldn’t find…” he trailed off when he saw Lex Luthor standing very close to his best friend. Lex had dropped his arms when he heard Pete but still remained close to Chloe.

‘I should tear him apart,’ thought Lex. “Later Chloe,” he said, smirking at her. He walked away and past Pete.

“What the hell was that about?” asked Pete.

“It was nothing Pete,” replied Chloe glad her voice sounded normal. “We...we were just chatting.”

“What is he hard of hearing or something that he had to stand so close?” snapped Pete.

Chloe rolled her eyes, “Pete stop being silly. Come on I want to get this finished.” She dragged him by the arm and they continued around the store. But Chloe’s mind was focussed solely on Lex Luthor and what the hell he was doing.

--------------------------------------------------

When Chloe got home she put away the groceries and then headed upstairs. As she neared her room, she heard Lana call out to her.

“I thought you were at the Talon,” said Chloe as she entered Lana’s bedroom.

The brunette was in her bed, a blanket wrapped around her, she sneezed loudly before answering. “I wasn’t feeling great so I came home to work on the books.”

“You don’t look so good Lana,” said Chloe.

“I’ve taken some cold medicine and I’m just waiting for it to kick in. Will you do a favour for me Chloe?”

“I’m not being a waitress again Lana, I’m sorry but I hate doing it.”

“No that’s ok,” smiled Lana. “I need to you drop the accounts off at Lex’s. He called into the Talon earlier looking for them.”

‘Damn,’ thought Chloe, “and does he really need them immediately?”

“Well when he asks for them I tend to get them to him as soon as possible. Please Chloe.”

“Ok, I drop them over to him now,” she sighed.

“Oh thanks,” gushed Lana before launching into another sneezing fit. Part of her was very disappointed that she wouldn’t get the chance to drop them by Lex’s place herself, but all Chloe would be doing is leaving them with him. It’s not like they’d chat or anything. When she had finished sneezing she handed to two books over to Chloe.

“I won’t be long,” said Chloe, backing out of the room. ‘Not long at all,’ she added silently as she closed Lana’s door and headed back down stairs.

--------------------------------------------------

Lex was in the middle of a very punishing work out when the butler interrupted him. After his *encounter* with Chloe he had to come back to the castle to work off some of the energy he had. “What is it?” he snapped at the man.

“Sorry to disturb you sir,” said the man, “but there is a Miss Chloe Sullivan here to see you.”

Lex felt his feral side wake right up when he heard that. “Very well, show her in.”

A few moments later Chloe appeared at the door. “Hi Lex…” she trailed when she took in his appearance, he was wearing a loose fitting pair of sweatpants that hung low on her hips, and he just had a towel around his neck. Chloe couldn’t drag her eyes from his chest.

“Is there something I can do for you?” he asked, a hint of teasing in his voice.

“What? Oh yes, Lana asked me to drop these over; she’s not feeling well at the moment. So here’s the accounts, and I’ll be saying goodbye now.” She left the books on a small table and turned to leave.

In flash Lex was beside her, he rested his hand on her wrist, “don’t leave just yet,” he whispered.

[Carina]

I thought for sure my favourite fic of yours was Role Reversal (and, oddly enough before that i thought it was His Girl Friday. I'm sensing a pattern; you seem to outdo yourself with each new fic ;) ), but now this is definitely my favourite. It would be impossible for me to love this anymore than I already do. Wonderful chapter! The bit in the supermarket gave me goosebumps. I can't wait to see what happens next...

Chapter Eight – Intentions

Chloe pulled her wrist from his hand, “you’re busy Lex. And I need to get home to see how Lana is.”

“Chloe, Chloe,” he said, and placed his hands either side of her head. And once again, Chloe found herself effectively *trapped* by Lex Luthor. She was too close and he still had so much sexual energy built up from their earlier encounter to let her go.

She brought her own hands up and placed them on his chest. Although the attention was to push him away, as soon as her hands touched his skin all she wanted to do was run her hands over him. Lex barely suppressed a shudder when he felt her hands on him.

She slowly moved her hands over his chest, marvelling at the muscles he kept hidden under his carefully tailored suits. Chloe glanced up to see Lex staring at her; he had an animalistic look in his eyes. As if suddenly realising what she was doing Chloe dropped her hands from his chest and blushed.

Lex lowered his head and nuzzled the pulse point where her neck met her shoulder. Chloe gasped as he ran his tongue over her skin, ‘that’s where my mark will rest,’ he thought smugly. He let his arms drop and rested his hands on her waist as he kissed her neck.

‘Take her now,’ his feral side cried. Lex’s grip tightened on her waist and he moved his lips up her neck and over her jaw. He could feel her breath on his face. Her lips were slightly parted, her eyes wide.

“L-Lex I should go,” she said. “Never,” he murmured and covered her mouth with his. His tongue immediately demanded access and Chloe couldn’t help but open her mouth wider beneath his. His tongue was slick and hot in her mouth. Her hands once again crept up his chest and she lightly wrapped them around his neck. She moaned low in her throat as he plundered her mouth.

It was the feeling of Lex pulling her shirt up that snapped Chloe out of her haze of lust. She stepped away from him, breathing hard.

“Chloe,” he said, his voice carrying a slight growl. She allowed her gaze to travel down his body and she gasped when she saw his obvious erection pressing against his sweat pants. Her eyes quickly flew back to his. Lex inhaled deeply, her intoxicating scent, a mixture of fear and arousal filled his senses.

“Chloe,” he said again, his eyes flashing amber briefly. Chloe gasped and backed away from him.

“I’m going,” she said and opened the door, walking quickly out of the room.

“Silly girl,” said Lex with a smirk, “but if you want to play my sweet, I’ll play.”

Chloe hurried out of the castle and to her car. She glanced briefly at the front door then started the engine and took off. Lex ran to his room and changed his clothes. ‘She’s confused,’ his feral side piped up sounding amused. When he had finished dressing he slowly walked out of his room, down the stairs and out the main door.

--------------------------------------------------

“Oh God, oh God, oh God,” muttered Chloe as she drove home. “How do I end up in these situations? Go to Lex’s, drop off the accounts, leave; I mean that’s simple enough. But oh no, not Chloe Sullivan, no I have to go to Lex’s, drop off the accounts and end up making out with Lex Luthor against the wall. Ok so the making out bit was pretty hot, but where the fuck did that come from? Lex Luthor was kissing *me* Chloe Sullivan. Not Lana Lang, not some bimbo or some drop dead gorgeous supermodel but freaky me. It’s a joke it has to be. Oh yeah I’m a billionaire let’s have some fun with the teenage reporter who has a crush on you.” Chloe’s conversation with herself continued as she drove home.

By the time she had parked her car in front of her house Chleo had convinced herself that everything that happened with Lex at the mansion meant nothing. It was just the billionaire having some fun at her expense. He could have any woman he wanted, any woman, so there is no way he’d be interested in her. Seducing teenagers was probably a game to him.

‘But damn I was so close to giving in,’ she thought as she made her way to the front door. She headed upstairs and knocked gently on Lana’s bedroom door. When she heard nothing she opened the door slowly and peeked in. Lana was fast asleep in the bed, the covers pulled tightly up around her neck. Smiling to herself Chloe closed the door gently and headed to her own room. When she entered her room she began pulling her clothes off. Standing in just her underwear she picked up her discarded clothes from the bed and dumped them in the laundry basket in the bathroom.

“Hello sweetheart,” a low voice said.

Chloe screamed and turned to find Lex Luthor lounging on her bed. “What the hell are you doing? How the hell did you get here before me? I didn’t see your car,” as she ranted at him she grabbed a towel and covered herself.

Lex narrowed his eyes when she covered herself up. “You looked much better without the towel Chloe,” he said with a smirk, ignoring her other questions.

“What are you doing here Lex?” she asked.

“You ran out before things got good,” he replied, getting off the bed and walking slowly over to her.

“I don’t know what kind of game you are playing but I want you to leave,” she started backing away from him, clutching the towel against her.

“Maybe I don’t want to leave,” he grinned and then his tone changed. “Let the towel drop Chloe.”

“What? What has gotten into you?” she exclaimed, although her body shivered slightly to his words. That coupled with the look in his eyes was causing her body to react in ways that didn’t coincide with her anger.

Lex immediately picked up on the slight movement in her body; he could also hear the pounding of her heart. He inhaled deeply, ‘ah yes there it is,’ he thought as he picked up the faintest hint of her arousal.

Chloe watched Lex closely; there was something very different about him. There seemed to be an almost animal like air to him. “I don’t think you want me to go Chloe,” he said, standing in front of her, “ok you are a little nervous, but you’re also something else. I bet if I slipped my hand between your legs I’d find you wet. Will I Chloe will I find you wet?”

Chloe found she couldn’t speak and simply shook her head.

Lex smirked at her, “No you say. Maybe I should find out for myself then.”

Chloe moved away from him, “I really think you should go Mr Luthor. Like now.”

“I’ll make a deal with you Chloe,” he said, tracing a finger along her collarbone. “If you are not wet I will leave and we can forget all about this. But if you are, well then you come to the castle tomorrow morning and spend the day.” ‘And the night,’ his feral side added.

“I…I don’t have to make any deals with you,” she said, her voice shaking a little. “No, but if you’re not *wet* you have absolutely nothing to worry about,” he said. Before she could answer him Lex moved and pulled her tight against him. ‘Oh god,’ she thought, ‘I have never been so aroused in my life. He’s going to find me soaked and I could always not turn up tomorrow.’

Keeping his eyes locked on hers Lex slowly pulled the towel away from her and dropped it on the floor. One hand found its way between her legs and Chloe spread her thighs involuntary. He cupped her through her panties and Chloe groaned. “You are soaking sweetheart,” he murmured as he rubbed her. He slipped a finger inside her panties and rubbed her clit, gathering some of her juices. He took his finger out and brought it to his mouth and licked it clean. “Oh fuck,” she groaned as she watched him.

“I’ll see you tomorrow,” he said, “bright and early.” He kissed the corner of her mouth gently and left the room. As he made his way down the stairs and out of Chloe’s house he had to fight the urge to run back up and claim her properly. Her taste was on his tongue, “she’ll be ours tomorrow,” he said.

“Silly girl,” said Lex with a smirk." I agree with Lex, Chloe is a silly girl. Running away like that, she is just avoiding the inevitable, ending up in Lex' bed. Why fight it. Go for it, Chloe!!!

First off I have to give huge, can't be measured with modern technology THANKS to Imp for the invaluable help given to me on writing this chapter...Thanks hun...Fiona

Chapter Nine – Soothing the Beast

Chloe hadn’t slept well that night. Every time she closed her eyes she saw Lex, looming over her, his hand between her legs, stroking her. Her brain had been in overdrive all night, alternating between the feelings he had generated inside her and wondering why he was acting the way he was. She remembered hearing that Lex Luthor had been very wild during his days in Metropolis and that he had dabbled with a lot of different drugs.

‘Maybe that’s what he’s on,’ she thought, as she got dressed. ‘Some new drug that has him acting completely out of character.’ When she had dressed she stuffed a few things in her bag and left her room.

She knocked on Lana’s door and entered the room. “Hey, how are you feeling?” she asked her.

“Better,” smiled the brunette. “I might even head into the Talon later. What are you up to today?”

‘Avoiding Lex Luthor,’ thought Chloe. “Nothing much. I might have a new story so I’m going to check out some leads. I can’t say anything about it yet though.”

“Ok, so I might see you later?”

“Yeah you might,” she replied, “take it easy.”

She left the room and headed downstairs. As she made her way to her car Chloe briefly entertained the idea of actually going over to the castle and seeing exactly what Lex had planned. But as tempting as it sounded she quickly clamped down on those thoughts. “Ok, using the Internet on the computers in town library might not be good enough and they have all those Internet restrictions,” she muttered as she started the engine. “But the one at the community college might be better. They would allow me more freedom on my searches. And there is no way Lex will coming looking for me there.” Her destination decided she put the car in drive and headed in the direction of the Smallville Community College library and their computers to see if she could found out about any new drugs on the market.

--------------------------------------------------

Lex practically bounced down the stairs and made his way to the kitchen. Glad to find it empty he made himself something to eat. He had slept very well, his dreams filled with the ways he was going to pleasure Chloe Sullivan. By the time he was finished with her she wouldn’t be able to walk, which of course meant she wouldn’t be able to leave his bed.

The small taste he had gotten the previous night was intoxicating. It had also served to wet his appetite for the fiery blonde. It had taken every ounce of his control not to taste fully last night, but he and his feral half had been contented, knowing today he would have the luxury of tasting her again and again. His feral side nearly purred at the thought. Glancing at the clock he noted it was 9.15am, it had only taken him 15 minutes to wolf down his huge breakfast. Since he got his new *gifts*, he seemed to eat a lot more in a far less time. A few moments later he was settled in his office sipping a cup of coffee.

--------------------------------------------------

It was 3.00pm and Lex was pacing his room like a caged animal. There was no sign of Chloe. He had rung her house a few times but there was no answer. He could feel his control slipping and his feral side taking over.

He placed his hands on his desk and leaned forward a little, breathing hard as he tried to get himself under control again. “She was given specific instructions,” he said with a growl, “and she has chosen to disobey them.”

His eyes turned amber as he gave himself completely over to his feral side. He picked his desk up and threw it against the wall, roaring as he did. He ripped off his jacket and tie and jumped through the window, glass flying everywhere. He landed on the ground and took off running, intent on finding Chloe Sullivan.

--------------------------------------------------

Chloe was driving along the back roads on her way back to her house; going this way meant less traffic and also gave her more time to think. She had spent a long time at the library researching different drugs and the effects they had on people. She wasn’t, however, any closer to finding out what was wrong with Lex. That was of course assuming there was anything wrong with him. Regardless it felt good to be researching and not hanging around the house or the Talon watching the Clark and Lana mating dance.

As she drove along she glanced out the window at the fields. When she turned her attention back to the road she slammed on the brakes. Her car skidded to a stop in front of Lex Luthor, standing in the middle of the road.

“Jesus,” she exclaimed.

She undid her seat belt but didn’t get out of the car. Lex stood staring at her, his eyes amber, his hands clenched into fists. Chloe was scared. Lex looked completely wild and out of control. He smirked at her and for the first time since she had met him she didn’t find that smirk sexy, she found it frightening.

She really didn’t want to get out of the car, but some instinct told it would be better if she did. Slowly she got out and stood by the door. Lex moved closer to her, he could smell the fear coming off her in waves.

“I waited,” he growled, “and you didn’t show.”

“I had something else to do,” she said and instantly knew it was the wrong response. Lex growled louder and moved closer, Chloe backed away from him. ‘He’s like a wild animal,’ she thought. ‘Damn it, I have dealt with meteor freaks, hell I even made out with one, I can deal with a wild Lex. Think Chloe, think.’

While a small part of the feral in Lex relished the scent of fear, he didn’t like that the scent was coming from Chloe. She was his chosen mate and he didn’t want her scared of him. But, she had displeased him and she needed to know he wasn’t going to tolerate it.

Chloe watched, as he looked her over, growling as he did. Something about it triggered memories of various fan-fics she had read involving Wolverine of the X-Men. She took a deep breath and forced her body to relax. Bowing her head slightly she looked at him through her lashes. Lex stopped his movement towards her, cocking his head, looking at her with a slightly less menacing expression.

Lex watched as she bared her neck to him, he could see the pulse under her skin, right where he would have left his mark. He stood tense, waiting to see what her next more would be. His feral half took his chosen mate’s exposed neck as a sign of submission, but what remained of his rational self warned she could just be using it as a trick. Slowly she moved closer to him, her neck still exposed. She reached out her hand and hesitantly resting it on his chest. He growled again, baring his teeth letting her know she wasn’t been forgiven so easily. His eyes never left hers as she slowly moved her hand up his chest, over his shoulder and rubbed the back of his head softly. Still keeping her movements slow, Chloe ran her hand up and down his back before returning to rub his head again. Lex closed his eyes and leaned into her hand, unable to stop a slight rumble from rising in his throat. He heard her deep intake of breath and felt her lean forward and nuzzle her nose against his neck. Lex gave off a noise that sounded like a purr. She reached out her tongue and licked him and Lex wrapped an arm around her waist.

Still nuzzling his neck she looked up at him, he looked down at her, his eyes were still amber but they weren’t as wild as before. As one hand continued to rub the back of his head she moved her other hand over his chest and down to his waist. She hesitated for a brief moment. Biting her lip she allowed her hand to wander lower and rubbed his crotch gently through his pants as she returned her mouth to his neck.

His feral side felt its anger diminish as Chloe touched him. He placed his other hand on the back of her neck and titled her head to the side, he bent down and sucked gently on her pulse point at the junction between her neck and shoulder. He nipped on the soft flesh gently and then laved the skin with his tongue. When he lifted his head to look at her again his eyes had returned to their normal colour. However, flecks of amber still remained.

“I’m sorry for not coming Lex,” she said, keeping her voice soft. His eyes returned to their normal colour with her apology.

“Let me take you home,” she took his hand and led him to her car. When they were both in the car Lex leaned his head against the window, closed his eyes and rested his hand on Chloe’s thigh. While the gesture was possessive his touch wasn’t harsh. He rubbed her thigh gently as she drove off.

[xadie]

:rolleyes: I can't believe she escaped for another chapter!

Go her for getting him calmed down, though! Much as I love feral Lex, I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of a rage from someone that can throw a desk!

Still! I refuse to believe that you'd be so cruel as to make her hold out much longer. Would you? :crydevil:

[asharnanae]

:huh:

uh! since when has the room be underwater???

Oh no! Drool Overload!!

But you tease!! MORE, PLEASE!!!!!!!! :tease: :worship2:

[Charmingjen]

OMG :love: I'm totally digging this "wild" lex. Sounds like he's going to ravage her. I can't wait for the next update!

Jen

[Elviriel]

:drool:
I love this story update sooon !

[Charlie]

What I think this story needs right now is some S E X. Lex wants it, Chloe wants it and we want it. Why not give it to us? Stop being so cruel :crygreen:

[Impress]

I'm beginning to think there are more Chlexers taking up residence in the gutter than any other group. :eyebrows:

Fi, dear, you know what I think of this one. :clap:

[Carina]

Great chapter! You're really describing Lex beautifully and I loved how he just appeared in front of her car. How cute was he when she finally calmed him down? He's like a temperamental puppy. :biggrin: Looking forward to the update.

You're just beginning to think that now? :biggrin:

But, it's all nice and comfy in the gutter, that's why we all love it. I loved the way that Chloe diffused the situation. Now, get them to a bed....or the nearest wall.

Blue

[hurlingturtles]

yes, Chloe bring Lex home... i'm hoping a bit of smut will follow. All I keep thinking is Cartman's mom going "I know a certain kitty kitty who's sleeping with mommy tonight" Of course, instead of kitty I think Lex... mmmmm

[drina]

I like the taming the beast part...very cool.

That's the impression that I got too! He was all wild and beasty ( :drool: yum, yum) but as Chloe tamed him he reminded my of a great big puppy! I just wanted to pat him (and take him home to bed! :devil: )

I have visions of them getting back to Lex's place and Chloe sending him to "fetch the condom Lexy... who's a good boy? Lexy's a good boy, yes he is! Now roll over..." :satanwink:

Chapter Ten – No Explanations

When they got back to the castle Lex got out of the car and stood at the main door. He said nothing but held his hand out. Understanding what he meant Chloe got out of the car and walked up to him, taking his hand. Holding her hand securely but not too tight Lex led her into the castle.

When they got inside one of the servants came up to them and Lex spoke for the first time. “I want the window in my office fixed and a new desk ordered and delivered before tomorrow afternoon.” The servant nodded and hurried off.

“A slight accident,” he said when he saw the questioning look on Chloe’s face. She was about to ask for more information but something inside told her being quiet and for the moment that was probably a good idea. Although Lex seemed to be ok, he had really scared her earlier and she so didn’t want a repeat of wild Lex. Being submissive wasn’t in her nature. Lex led them upstairs and Chloe tensed slightly, thinking he was taking her to his bedroom. Lex could sense the change in her demeanour and allowed a small smile to cross his features. Chloe was behind him so she didn’t see the smile. It had taken a lot of energy giving himself completely to his feral side and hunting for Chloe. And then it had taken even more energy when he had found her to stop himself from…well he wasn’t quite sure what he would have done to her had she not acted the way she did. Her baring her neck and touching him had completely calmed his feral side down. His grip tightened a little on her hand and he led her past his bedroom into the small study across the hall.

When they were inside Lex released her hand and closed the door. He turned to face her. He noticed that she had tensed up and could smell fear coming from her once again. As he moved towards her, Chloe lowered her head and looked up at him through her lashes. His feral side woke slightly at her gesture and with a contented purr went back to sleep, allowing his rational side to handle this.

Lex walked over to her, “there is no need for that,” he said softly, placing his hand under her chin and lifting till she was looking straight at him. He titled her head and saw the slight red mark on her neck that he had made earlier. He leaned forward and brushed his lips over it gently. Chloe sighed softly and her posture relaxed. When Lex looked back into her eyes he saw they were filled with confusion. He stepped back, it wasn’t a good idea to be too close to her. He felt very tired, and needed to sleep to recoup his energy.

“What’s going on Lex?” she asked softly.

“I’ve been experiencing some…changes as of late,” he said with a smirk.

“What kind of changes?” she asked her curiosity peaked and the reporter in her smelling a story.

Lex chuckled softly as he recognised the gleam in Chloe’s eye. “A bit of this and a bit of that,” he replied cryptically.

“Your *bit of this* and *bit of that* really scared me earlier,” whispered Chloe.

“Believe me sweetheart, scaring you is the last thing I wanted to do,” he replied sincerely, “but you disobeyed and that made me angry.”

“I don’t take orders from you,” snapped Chloe. Lex smiled, this was one of the reasons Chloe was his choice for a mate. She stood up to him, disobeyed him, and even though she had been scared earlier and knew exactly how he could react she was still challenging him. Yes she was unique in that way, that and the fact she was so fucking sexy and just didn’t realise it. His feral side woke up when he heard the snap in it’s chosen mate’s voice. It came up right beside its rational side and watched Chloe. She stood there with her hands on her hips, a challenging look in her eyes. Chloe knew this was wrong, but who the hell did he think he was, telling her what to do. Lex allowed the amber to colour his eyes for a moment.

“Don’t do that freaky coloured eye thing,” said Chloe. “Look Lex I don’t know what’s going on, you could be on some freaky drug for all I know. But like I said you scared me earlier and you are starting to scare me now.”

Lex was tired of the games, and his feral side agreed. What they needed was sleep, sleep to build their energy up and plan their next move on claiming Chloe. “I’m not on any drug Chloe,” he said, “and you can leave anytime you want.”

“Ok then,” she said and began walking towards the door. When she got to Lex she stopped and faced him, “Lex if you want to talk about what’s going on, I’ll listen.” She had an internal debate for a moment and then leaned forward and kissed his cheek. He moved to capture her lips but Chloe moved away and out the door. Lex had heard the quickening of her heart as she kissed him and that’s what prompted him to try and kiss her; he smiled to himself at her reaction. He stood in the room and listened as she made her way downstairs and outside. “Maybe I should tell her,” he murmured. ‘After the claiming,’ his feral side whispered. Lex nodded to himself and headed to his room to sleep.

--------------------------------------------------

Chloe didn’t head home, she headed to the school, managed to convince the janitor that she had to get some work done and headed straight for the Torch office. “Ok Sullivan,” she said as she powered up her Mac. She logged onto the net and began checking into wolves and behaviour of.

“Maybe he’s been possessed by a spirit,” she murmured as her search began running. “And maybe that sounds way too much like a Buffy episode and anyway wasn’t that a Hyena spirit?” Shaking her head and laughing softly to her inane conversation with herself she sat back in the chair and waited for her results.

--------------------------------------------------

A few hours later a bleary eyed Chloe stumbled into the Talon for a much needed caffeine fix. “Large coffee with extra coffee,” she said to the waitress as she flopped onto one of the seats. The waitress smiled and headed off to get Chloe’s order.

As she waited for her coffee Chloe pulled out the information she had got. Two things stuck out from her research. Wolves were very territorial and they mated for life. Lex was very wild and animal like when she met him on the road, and her submissive stance and her touching seemed to have worked but that would mean he saw her as a mate. ‘Ok Chloe that’s a huge leap into the bizarre even for you,’ she thought. As she read through the papers she absently stroked the area on her neck where Lex had nipped and kissed.

“Here’s your coffee,” said the waitress placing it in front of here. “Thanks,” smiled Chloe and picked the cup up taking a deep sip, ignoring how hot it was and savouring the taste. “Bliss,” she murmured.

“Hey Chlo,” said Clark sitting in the seat opposite her.

“Clark,” she replied with a smile. She placed her cup down and gathered all her papers up, stuffing them in her bag. “Clark, have you noticed anything…well…different about Lex lately?”

“About Lex? No I haven’t,” he replied, “granted I haven’t seen much of him over the last few days. Why do you ask?”

“Oh nothing,” said Chloe, shrugging her shoulders for effect, “I was talking to him earlier and he was a little…weird. I thought you might know if there was something up.” She grabbed her cup again and sipped her coffee.

Clark regarded her for a moment. He had seen her stuff the papers in her bag and now the question about Lex. He decided against using his x-ray vision to see the papers for the moment. ‘I’ll call by and see Lex tomorrow,’ he thought, ‘see if there is anything going on.’

[xadie]

Hmm, well I think you've proved that amply and repeatedly, chica! Still, the chase is half the fun, no?

Another wicked (in all senses of the word) chapter. Have I mentioned that I love this fic?

Ooh, also, what's he going to do to Clark? Is he going to kick his ass, like I wanted before? Oh that would be so much fun!

[hurlingturtles]

i totall agree!!!! he should get insanely jealous of Clark and, at least, try to pummel him

[crazygirl]

Oh, come on, you can't postphone the smut forever, can you? ;)

[Julie]

Nice, nice indeed... .... .... UPDATE!!!!

[Charmingjen]

You are all about delaying our gratification, aren't you, you evil woman you! Chloe in reporter mode is always great. Lex should at least be happy that he marked her and things can only get worse when Clark sticks his nose into things.

Blue

[vardaquareien]

hmmm Clark's going to look into the matter... :biggrin: please let Lex go all scary and amber eyed on him. Love possessive Lex. Can't wait for his reaction. Would love to see other female's reaction to Lex wanting Chloe as his mate too! Guess I just want everyone to know that they belong together!!!

*sigh* seeing as this is in the NC-17 forum there will eventually be smut right?!!!

[Calliope]

I'm loving this! :biggrin: Here's to hoping Clark gets a smackdown.

[Charlie]

Eventhough I would love to read about Clark getting his ass kicked by Lex, I would much rather read about Chloe getting her ass taken by Lex. :eyebrows:

[ruafair]

Trust me my dears, the smut is on the way (soon) :devil: ......Fiona

***************************

Chapter Eleven – Green

Lex awoke feeling revitalized. Last night’s rest had restored his depleted energy. After showering he stood in front of the mirror as he dressed. He paused before picking up his sweater, the spot where Chloe had nuzzled and licked him having caught his eye. He gently touched the side of neck and felt a rumble build in his chest as he remembered the feeling of her hot wet tongue against his skin. He wanted to feel that tongue on other parts of his flesh.

Smirking to himself he pulled on his sweater and headed downstairs. As he passed by his office he could see that the new desk was already in place and the window was currently being fixed. ‘That’s two desks I’ve destroyed,’ he thought, then a small but wicked grin pulled at his lips. “The next time I break my desk will have to be because I fucked Chloe a little too hard on it.’ His feral half nodded in agreement. He groaned softly as the image of their mate spread out on the surface of the desk as he thrust into her came to mind.

Whistling to himself he headed into the smaller office at the end of the corridor. He wanted to see if there had been any sign of his father.

--------------------------------------------------

“What’s the update Matthew?” asked Lionel as the younger man strolled in.

“Well Dr Hagan is behaving himself now, but that’s manly due to the fact he’s being pumped full of sedatives,” replied Matthew.

“And my son?”

“From what I can gather not a great deal. He visited his doctor and had some tests done, including a blood test, but none of them showed up any irregularities. Oh he had a number of windows replaced at the castle, although no reason has been given for how they got broken. And one of the servants reported that he has forbidden anyone to enter his bedroom.”

“Ah marking his territory,” muttered Lionel. “Very well thank you Matthew, I look forward to you next update.”

“Yes sir,” said Matthew and left the room.

“I wonder if any other territory has been marked,” mused Lionel. Shaking his head he returned his attention to he papers in front of him.

--------------------------------------------------

“Ah Clark, how have you been?” asked Lex as the tall friend walked into the room. “Can I get you anything?”

“Hey Lex, I’m good,” replied Clark. “And no thanks I’m fine.” He watched as Lex got up from behind the desk and walk over to the drinks cabinet. He looked at him to see if there was anything different about him. “What’s up Clark?” asked Lex when he felt the boy’s stare on him.

“Well…it’s…I…” began Clark. Lex rolled his eyes and then turned to face Clark again.

“I was talking to Chloe yesterday,” began Clark and Lex felt his feral side wake up at the mention of her name. “And she said she ran into you and that you were acting a little weird.”

Lex laughed, “you can tell Miss Sullivan her concern, although appreciated, is unfounded, I have never felt better in my life Clark.”

“Whatever you say Lex,” said Clark, “you know Chloe, probably thought she was onto a story or something.”

“MMM yes, she can be quite *passionate* can’t she,” said Lex, his slightly suggestive tone causing Clark to look at him funny. Lex noticed it but said nothing, “well Clark I was thinking of heading to the Talon to check up on things, do you want a ride?”

Slightly baffled by Lex’s sudden change in topic Clark just nodded his head, yes.

--------------------------------------------------

“Wolves,” said a voice over her shoulder. Chloe’s head shot up and she looked to see who it was. “Oh hey Steve,” she said with a smile, “you startled me.”

“Mind if I join you?” he asked.

“Please be my guest,” said Chloe, gesturing to the seat opposite her.

“So what’s the interest in wolves?” he asked as he sat down. He liked Chloe; she was cute and bubbly and didn’t think his fascination with all things astral was weird.

“Oh it’s not anything that important,” she replied, “just something I came across and it prompted me to dig a little deeper. Have you any idea how fascinating and complex wolves are? First thing, they mate for life. If a male wolf spots the one he wants he goes and gets her and that’s it, no other female wolves for him. Monogamy, is *very* important. And you probably don’t want to hear all this.” She smiled at him; Steve was nice, kind of cute and had a liking for things weird.

--------------------------------------------------

As soon as Lex entered the Talon he picked up Chloe’s scent. He turned in her direction and saw her talking with some *boy*. His eyes narrowed and flashed amber as he watched her laugh at something her companion had said. Ignoring Clark he headed over to where she was sitting.

“Chloe,” he said, taking the other seat beside her. “Lex, hi,” she said not bothering to cover the surprise in her voice. Lex stared at Steve and rested his hand on Chloe’s thigh, although the action was unseen. She jumped slightly when she felt his hand and turned to glare at him only to find him looking at her with a smirk on his face.

“Well Chlo, I got to head off,” said Steve standing up, “I’ll see you later?”

“Sure Steve, see you later,” she replied. He glanced quickly at Lex and hurried away from the table and out.

“Did I scare him off?” he asked innocently. Chloe rolled her eyes and took his hand from her leg.

“And what’s this about later?” returning his hand to her thigh.

“Well *not* that it is any of your business Lex,” she replied moving her hand to his again. Lex gave off a slight growl and Chloe decided to leave his hand where it was. She really didn’t need Lex going all wild in the Talon. “But Steve and I are just grabbing a coffee this evening and having a chat.” Lex’s hand tightened in her thigh and she gave off a little yelp.

“A date,” he said.

“Well…no…not really, just two friends having a coffee,” she said, “Lex you’re hurting my leg.”

Lex pulled his hand back as if it hand been burnt. “Sorry,” he muttered.

“I have to go,” he said. Lex hurried out of the Talon and got into his car, breathing hard. When he had first entered and seen Chloe talking to that boy a jealous rage washed over him. He had wanted to grab Chloe and have her right there on the Talon floor, so that everyone would know she was his. ‘I need to stay away from the Talon tonight,’ he thought, ‘or I don’t know what I’ll do if I see them together.’

--------------------------------------------------

After Lex left Chloe stared at the door he had exited for a while. Snapping herself out of it, she grabbed her cell-phone and dialed Steve’s number. “Steve hi it’s Chloe, listen can we take a rain check on tonight. There’s something up with a friend of mine and I really want to find out what’s going on. Great thanks Steve.” She hung up her phone. Mentally she made a list of those people she knew of who would want Lex to be anything but himself. Lionel Luthor was at the top. She got up and headed out of the Talon, intent on borrowing Pete’s laptop and finding out what the hell was going on.

Chapter Twelve – Into the Wolf’s Den

“Fuck,” screamed Chloe at the screen when, for the fiftieth time she got kicked out of the system. She stood up and took a deep breath. For the past two hours she had been trying to hack into Luthor-Corp files, and so far she wasn’t have much luck. “It’s not like I want to know the real secret stuff,” she muttered as she worked out the kinks in her neck, “well not yet anyway. I just want to see if I can find out if Lionel has done anything to Lex.”

She sighed deeply and sat down in front of the laptop again. “Right, let’s try this again.” And her fingers began flying over the keyboard.

--------------------------------------------------

“She’s probably getting ready to meet him,” muttered Lex as he lifted weights. “Wearing something that shows off her skin, showing herself in a way that should only be privy to my eyes.” He had put the maximum weight on the bars that he could handle, hoping to expel his jealous energy by putting himself through a rigours workout.

And if might have worked had his feral side not been whispering constantly to him that he needed to eliminate what might be competition. “He’s just a boy,” grunted Lex as he lifted the weights, “just a boy.”

--------------------------------------------------

“Ha, got you, you bastard,” cried Chloe in triumph as she got in. “Take that Luthor-Corp computer security.” She bounced in her seat as lists upon lists of files began scrolling up the screen. “Right where to start,” she muttered. “Hello, ‘Red Moon’ what’s that?” Most of the other files names seemed to be memos or other company names, but this one seemed different. She clicked on the file name and opened it up.

Chloe groaned in disappointment when she saw there was hardly any detail in it, although the name Daniel Hagan popped up on a number of occasions. Taking note of the name she looked through the rest of the file. After a few more minutes she logged out of the Luthor-Corp system completely, experience had told her that systems like these did tend to discover they were being hacked and then start tracing to find out who it was. So if she just spent a short time in the system at a go chances of her being discovered where slim.

“Let’s see who Daniel Hagan is,” she said as she began running a search. While that was happening she headed downstairs to get a fresh coffee.

--------------------------------------------------

‘This feels amazing,’ thought Lex as he ran through the fields. Clad in just a pair a sweatpants he had left the mansion about thirty minutes ago and just took off running. It was dark out and a slight breeze was blowing that felt good against his skin as he ran. He purposely avoided going anywhere near the town or Chloe’s house. Since his *change* Chloe had been occupying his thoughts almost constantly. His feral side’s interest became peaked when she wasn’t trying to get his attention like all the other women were. And the night he was outside her window while she moaned his name as she touched herself has pushed everything into overdrive. He had always admired her intelligence and fire, and he had always thought her attractive, but with the animal side of himself completely awoken by whatever Lionel had done to him he suddenly began seeing her as almost an equal.

He had to have her; he had to be buried as deep in her as he could be. He had to see his mark on her neck.

“And I will,” he whispered to night as he picked up his speed. “And I will have her soon.”

--------------------------------------------------

Chloe pulled herself from the laptop screen and headed downstairs with the information on Daniel Hagan that she had gotten. She settled herself at the kitchen table and sipped her coffee as she looked over the printed material. “Ok Daniel Hagan, age 49. Jesus how many degrees in chemistry can once person have? Also an expert on genetics, and has written a number of papers on the power of territory within the animal kingdom. Disappeared a while back, believed to have been working on a special project being funded by an unknown benefactor. Unknown my ass, Lionel Luthor was funding it and I doubt Dr Hagan had much say in the matter. But what was he working on. I mean with all this guy’s qualifications God knows what he has concocted.” She sighed as she dropped the papers.

“Right so far I know that Lex has become a lot wilder, almost primal even. He can do the freaky eye colour change thing. I’m going to assume his speed has improved considering how quick he got back here a few nights ago and the whole standing in the middle of the road waiting for me. I wonder what else he can do, is his strength increased, his other senses? And he seems to be completely enjoying these *changes*.”

She got up from the table and cleared up. Grabbing the papers she headed back upstairs and stuffed them in with the information she had got on wolves. “I’m going to do it, I’m going to head over to Lex’s and show him what I’ve discovered and maybe between the two of us we can find a cure for what’s wrong with him.”

--------------------------------------------------

Lex wandered through the many rooms and corridors of the castle. Earlier in the day he had given all the staff the day off. So he was now alone in the castle. The ticking of the various clocks, the creak of floorboards, the hum of the refrigerator all seemed to be amplified. He could smell the various cleaning products used around the place, he could smell the food in the kitchen, particularly the raw meat in the freezer. He could smell the sweat coming from the gym, and the various cheap perfumes and aftershaves the members of his staff wore.

The run had been good for him; coupled with the punishing workout he had earlier he had managed to use up a lot of the energy inside him. Even tough he didn’t know exactly what his father had done to him Lex had to admit he enjoyed the changes. The extra speed, strength and his increased senses made him feel so powerful. The only downside was the lack of control he felt on occasion, especially when his feral side became dominant. When he was completely in that state it was hard to have any rational thoughts.

Sighing he headed to his bedroom. He lay back on the bed, the door to his room left open.

--------------------------------------------------

Chloe parked her car in front of the main door. As she had approached the castle she had noticed that there were only a couple of lights on. “I’m thinking maybe I should have called first,” she muttered as she walked up to the door. Glancing at her watch it read 10.30pm, “ok someone should be still up.” She rang the bell and stood patiently waiting for someone to answer.

--------------------------------------------------

Lex had heard the car pull up. He padded down the stairs and looked through the peephole in the door, smirking to himself when he saw who it was. ‘Interesting,’ he thought. He gently and quietly took the door off its latch and moved away from the door into the shadows.

Outside Chloe rang the doorbell again and knocked on the heavy door as well. The door creaked open when she knocked. Taking a deep breath Chloe stuck her head in and called out, “hello, Lex…anyone.” The house was silent. Biting her lip Chloe stepped into the castle. “I’m not a burglar,” she called out again, “is there anyone here?”

Lex watched from the shadows with a grin on his face, ‘come into my parlour said the spider to the fly,’ he thought as his eyes flashed amber.

‘I really should turn around and leave,’ thought Chloe, but as always her curious nature won out and she continued on further into the castle. When she was out of sight of the main door Lex moved over to it and put the latch back on it. He had just hidden in the corner again when Chloe returned. She stood at the bottom of the stairs looking up it. “Lex,” she called out again, “are you here?” Grabbing a vase from the table beside her Chloe slowly crept up the stairs.

Lex waited at the bottom of the stairs till Chloe reached the top. He heard her walk along one of the hallways and ran up the stairs himself, staying just behind her. “This is creepy,” muttered Chloe.

She went over to one of the closed doors and put her hand on the handle, the other hand gripping the vase tightly. Just as she was about to turn the handle Chloe felt herself being pressed against the door by a lean hard body. She screamed and dropped the vase; it smashed on the hardwood floor. “Hello sweetheart,” whispered Lex into her ear.

*********************

Chapter Thirteen – The Claiming

Lex stepped back only enough to allow Chloe to turn and face him. She was breathing hard and Lex could hear the rapid beating of her heart.

“Bastard,” she gasped, “you nearly gave me a heart attack.” Lex just smirked at her, his gaze focussed on her chest, heaving as she tried to catch her breath. When her breathing and heart rate had returned to normal Chloe noticed that Lex was just wearing a pair of black silk pyjama bottoms. Even though she tried not to, Chloe couldn’t help but allow her gaze slowly travel up his body. When she reached his face, her eyes narrowed at the smug smile he was sporting. “Nice of you to drop by Chloe,” he said, “is there something I can *do to* you?”

Chloe blushed at his words. “I wanted to talk to you,” she said. Lex raised a hand and began playing with the ends of her hair, “just talk?” he said.

“I…I’ve been doing some research into these *changes* you’ve been going through,” she said, trying to ignore what he was doing. But it was getting increasingly difficult, as he had pressed his body against hers again. “And I might have some theories.”

“MMM,” said Lex as he lowered his head and nuzzled her neck. Chloe closed her eyes and tried to get her body under control. She placed her hands on his chest and pushed him away.

“Now Chloe did you really come all the way over here just to talk?” he said, letting her push him away.

“Yes,” she replied her voice sounding a lot more confident that she actually felt.

“What happened to your *date*?”

“I cancelled it.”

“Oh,” he said with a smirk. “I’ll make a deal with you…”

“Oh no,” exclaimed Chloe, “I am *not* getting in to that with you again. If you don’t want to talk then fine, I’ll just leave. I just thought I could help you figure out what’s wrong.” With that she began walking away. Smiling to himself Lex quickly reached her again and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her against him.

“I heard you that night,” he whispered in her ear, “I heard you moan my name as you touched yourself.” Chloe blushed bright red and struggled against him. “Did you imagine that it was my fingers touching you, bringing you pleasure? Was it only my fingers you imagined in there?” His eyes flashed amber as he caught a hint of her arousal, as the words took effect. “Did you Chloe? Did you imagine it was me?”

“No,” she said weakly.

“You may deny it with words sweetheart, but your body is telling me something completely different. I can smell you Chloe, I can smell that you are aroused. Is it getting damp between your legs? Are you nipples tightening?”

‘Traitorous body,’ thought Chloe as she felt a rush of moisture between her legs. ‘God I want this. How is anyone suppose to resist this man?’

Lex turned her around and wrapped his arms around her waist again. “I think about you Chloe,” he continued, his voice getting huskier. “I stroke myself imagining it’s your hands or mouth. I imagine you beneath me, your legs wrapped around my waist, your voice hoarse from screaming my name. I imagine you begging me for more.”

Chloe let out a small moan at his words and then a louder one as she felt him harden against her. She looked up into his amber flecked eyes. Lex brought his hand up and cupped her chin, running his thumb over her lips. She parted them with a sigh and ran her tongue over his thumb. Lex felt his feral side come to life as Chloe raised her hand and rubbed the back of his head. Smiling he leaned down and covered her mouth with his. His tongue immediately drew hers into his mouth and he sucked on it gently before thrusting his tongue into her mouth and plundering. Chloe held onto his shoulders and tried to return the kiss. Lex lifted her up and with mouths still fused made his way down the corridor to his bedroom. The next thing Chloe knew she was lying on his bed.

Lex closed the door and turned on a single lamp. He moved slowly towards the bed and Chloe sat up. He rested his hands on her legs and pulled her gently till she was sitting on the edge. He leaned down and kissed her again as he unbuttoned her jacket and pushed it off her shoulders, letting it drop on the floor.

‘I have to take this slow,’ he thought as he fought the urge to rip her clothes off and plunge deep into her. ‘This has to be done right.’ He left her lips and trailed kisses down her jaw to her neck where he couldn’t resist nipping gently at the spot he’d mark before the night was out. He grabbed the ends of her shirt and raised his head to look at her. With a shy smile Chloe lifted her arms and Lex drew the item off her letting it join her jacket on the floor. He rested his hand on her stomach and pushed her gently till she lay back. He took off her boots and socks and slowly slid his hands up her legs, caressing her thighs gently till he reached the waistband of her jeans. “Lift up,” he whispered when he had unzipped them. Chloe lifted her hips and he pulled them off. Chloe now lay on the bed clad in just her bra and panties. ‘I can’t believe I’m doing this,’ she thought, ‘but I think I might actually come from him just looking at me.’

Lex smiled, as he smelt a hint of nervousness under the heavy scent of her arousal. She sat up and Lex knelt between her legs. She ran her hand over his chest and leaned forward, nuzzling and licking his neck like she had done before. More amber filled his eyes as he felt Chloe’s mouth on his neck. He ran his hands up her back and unhooked her bra. Chloe dropped her arms to let him take it off but kept her mouth on his neck. Lex cupped her breasts in his hands, massaging them gently before rolling her nipples between his thumb and forefinger.

“Lex,” she groaned as the sensitive nubs hardened into points. She kissed her way up his neck to his lips. As they kissed Lex pushed her back onto the bed and covered her body with his. He moaned into her mouth as her nipples scraped against his chest and he thrust his erection against her.

He pulled back from her mouth and braced himself on his arms looking down at her. Her hair was mussed, her lips swollen and her eyes dark with desire. “So beautiful,” he said, trailing a finger down her neck, between her breasts, over her stomach till he reached her sex. He cupped her gently through her panties and ran her thumb over her clit causing her to gasp loudly. His lips followed the path made by his finger till he found himself once again kneeling between her legs. He hooked his fingers in to the waistband of her panties and Chloe lifted her hips and Lex drew them away from her body. After dropping them on the floor he ran his hands over her thighs, spreading them wider. He leaned forwards towards her pussy and inhaled deeply, her scent filling his senses.

Chloe sat up on her elbows and looked down at him, blushing. Lex looked up at her and smiled. He ran his fingers over her nether lips, he groaned at how wet they already were, before parting them with his thumbs. His eyes still locked on her he leaned in and began to lap at her core. “Oh God,” she groaned. Her taste exploded on his tongue and his feral side roared to life, ‘more,’ it said. Lex dove in, lapping all around her, running his tongue over her clit before sucking the bundle of nerves into his mouth. Chloe arched off the bed, panting. As he continued his torture on her clit he slowly slid his index finger inside her, groaning at how tight she was. Her internal muscles clamped down on his finger and Lex’s cock throbbed. Gently he added a second finger, stretching her slightly and began pumping them in and out.

“Lex,” she moaned as began moving her hips in time with him. Lex glanced up at her, her back was arched off the bed, her nipples stood out like points a fine sheen of sweat covered her body as she moaned and gasped his name. He returned his mouth to her clit and slowly added a third finger causing Chloe to whimper softly. He slowed the pace and began licking and kissing her inner thighs as he thumb brushed against her clit. “Lex please,” she pleaded, moving her hips trying to get him to move faster.

He nipped gently on the soft skin of her inner thigh and began moving his fingers faster. He kissed her way to her stomach, again biting the soft flesh; he repeated this on both her breasts. “Are you ready to come sweetheart?” he said, brushing her lips with his. Chloe nodded and her breathing got more and more ragged. Her head was thrown back, her eyes closed. Lex moved down her body again, his hand coated with her juices as they moved faster in and out of her. He closed his lips over his clit again and bit on it. Chloe screamed his name and exploded. Lex felt her gush over his hand and lowered his mouth to lap it up.

After a moment he removed his hand and stood back. Still catching her breath Chloe opened her eyes and stared up at him. Lex purred softly as he licked his fingers clean. When he had finished he ripped his pyjama bottoms off and groaned in relief as his cock was freed. He was rock hard. Chloe struggled to sit up as he moved closer.

“I will sample the talents of your mouth and hands at another time,” he smirked and pushed her gently onto her back again. He reached to the table beside him and took a condom from it. “No,” said Chloe, putting her hand on his arm. Lex cocked an eyebrow and looked at her.

“Are you clean?” she asked. Lex nodded, he got himself checked out regularly. “And I’m on the pill,” she said, “I want to feel all of you Lex.” His feral side roared at her words.

He dropped the package onto the floor and settled between her legs, groaning as their sexes rubbed together. Chloe eyes widened as she felt his swollen flesh rested at her entrance. She pulled his mouth to hers and kissed him hard and he began to slowly slip into her. “Fuck,” he groaned into her mouth as her hot wet flesh enveloped him. He pushed in more and Chloe dragged her mouth from his and gasped loudly. “Look at me Chloe.”

Chloe locked her eyes with his; he pulled his hips back slightly and then thrusted all the way into. Chloe cried out and squeezed her eyes shut. The feral side of him revelled in her cry and the scent of blood that suddenly hit him. He knew she was a virgin but her pained cry and the blood only confirmed that he was her first, ‘and last’ his feral side growled.

“Relax sweetheart,” he said. It hurt, and it hurt a lot more than she thought it would. She opened her eyes to see Lex staring at her, his eyes filled with concern. She took a couple of deep breaths and forced her body to relax, her vaginal muscles contracting around his cock. Lex placed soft kisses all over her face, neck and breasts and tensed his muscles. He so wanted to move but he wouldn’t till she was ready. After a few moments Chloe moved her hips and Lex took this a sign to continue. He pulled back and slowly pushed forward, the noise Chloe emitted was more pleasure than pain. They kissed again, tongues clashing as Lex began a slow rhythm. The smell of sweat and sex filled the air.

Lex increased the speed of his thrusts in answer to Chloe’s moans and pleads. She grasped his back, digging her short nails into his flesh. Lex gripped her hips as their bodies slid against each other’s. He angled her hips and thrust deep into her hitting a spot that caused her to cry out his name. He repeated it over and over. “God Lex please, please,” she begged.

They panted into each other’s mouths and Lex could feel her getting closer. He moved his mouth to the soft spot between her neck and shoulder and began moving harder and faster. Chloe felt it building in her stomach and barely noticed Lex sucking her flesh in his mouth; all she could concentrate on was his cock pounding into her.

He felt her pussy tightening around him and pulled his hips back, leaving only the tip inside, and then plunged in hard and deep, grinding against her over-sensitised clit as he did. Chloe screamed his name as she came digging her nails into his back and breaking the skin. With a roar Lex bit hard into her neck. As her body rode out it’s orgasm Lex ran his tongue over the mark he had made on her neck, his feral side purring as it tasted her blood. ‘Mine,’ they both thought.

When Chloe came back down to earth she opened her eyes to finds Lex staring down at her. Her entire body was humming. “Wow,” she gasped and then let out a moan as a still rock hard Lex began sliding in and out of her again.

“But…” she moaned.

“Oh sweetheart, I am so not finished with you yet. The night is still young.” He ran his tongue once more over the mark on her neck before capturing her lips again.

Chapter Fourteen – The Next Day

Lex had only been asleep for a few hours when he finally awoke the next morning. Gently he extracted himself from Chloe, trying not to wake her. She moved a little in her sleep but didn’t wake. He lay on his side, propped up on his elbow and watched her as she slept. He felt his cock twitch as desire once again began coursing trough him. He wanted her, but he had taken her so many times during the night that he knew she needed to rest. Lex struggled with his baser instincts briefly before getting control. He continued to watch her for a moment, and then with care he brushed her hair back from her neck and slowly ran his finger over his mark. The imprint of his teeth was clearly visible. Leaning forward Lex softly brushed his lips over the proof of his claim and Chloe sighed in her sleep. His feral side woke up briefly. ‘Mate,’ it muttered before returning to sleep. “Mine,” whispered Lex.

She moved again in her sleep and rolled on to her back. Lex let a smug smile grace his face as he saw the marks on her breasts and stomach that he had made. Gently he lifted the sheet from her body and saw the similar bites on her inner thighs. He slid out of the bed and covered her again with the sheet. Moving silently over to the window he opened it slightly letting a cool breeze entered the room. Chloe shivered in the bed and pulled the sheet tighter around her.

Lex inhaled deeply, the smell of their couplings still hung in the air and he found himself savouring it. With one last look at his sleeping mate Lex headed into the bathroom and shut the door behind him.

--------------------------------------------------

It was feeling of cool silk around her that helped cut through the haze of sleepiness. She turned over and stretched her legs out, groaning as pain shot through them. Chloe opened her eyes and blinked a few times till everything fell into focus. Memories of what happened came flooding back. Her entire body ached; from pleasure, exertion and pain. She lost count of the number of times Lex made her come. She idly wondered if Lex had always possessed that much stamina or if whatever Lionel had done to Lex had increased his vitality.

“He literally fucked me into exhaustion” she muttered with a smile. “I had sex with Lex Luthor. Correction, I had mind blowing sex with Lex Luthor.”

When her head had cleared Chloe realised she was alone in the bed. Turning to the empty space beside her she saw a single red rose and a note on the pillow. Sitting up she took the rose in her hand and inhaled its perfume before opening the note:

{Apologies sweetheart for not being here when you woke but I had something to take care of. I will be back later on this morning…Lex}

Chloe smiled to herself as she folded the note over and placed it on the table. Although he didn’t say it in his message she knew quite well he expected her to still be here when he got back. She threw the sheet off her and got out of the bed. “Oh crap,” she groaned. Her body, especially her breasts, her neck, and the area between her legs, protested the movements. With shuffling steps she made her way to the bathroom and a hot shower.

After several minutes of standing under the hot water Chloe turned off the shower and wrapped a fluffy towel around her. Using her hand she wiped the steam off the mirror in the bathroom and towel dried her hair. “What the fuck is that?” she gasped when she saw the very large bruise on her neck. She tilted her head to the side and examined it in more detail, “Jesus those are teeth marks.” She ran her fingers over the mark and whimpered softly in pain. “Talk about being branded,” she muttered, “how they hell am I suppose to cover this up? I don’t even think industrial strength concealer would have any effect on this.” Even when the bruising faded Chloe knew the teeth marks would be visible for a while. She opened the towel and stood looking at her naked body, noticing for the first time the other bite marks marring her flesh.

She left the bathroom and entered the bedroom again, looking around the floor for her clothes. Just then the door opened and Lex walked in. “Chloe,” he purred crossing the room quickly and taking her in his arms. Before she had a chance to answer he had covered her mouth with his. As they kissed Chloe felt Lex’s hands tug at the towel she had wrapped around herself.

She pulled back, “don’t Lex. I’m…I’m still really sore.”

Although disappointed Lex understood.

“Anyway mister, I wanted a word with you about this,” she said, pointing to the mark on her neck. “How am I supposed to cover this up?”

“You’re not,” he replied and bent down to kiss it gently.

“Lex, it looks like I was attacked by a vampire or something,” she protested, “what am I supposed to tell people? I don’t think, ‘oh I walked into someone’s teeth’ is going to quite cut it.”

He laughed out loud at that comment and slipped his arm around her waist again, pulling her close. He began nuzzling her neck.

“Lex,” she moaned, “we need to talk and I need to get home.”

“No,” he growled, tightening his grip on her.

“No on the talking or no on the going home,” she asked.

“You’re not leaving,” he said against her neck. ‘You’re not leaving ever,’ he added to himself and his feral side nodded in agreement.

Chloe rolled her eyes, grateful that he couldn’t see her. She brought her hand up and rubbed the back of his neck, “Lex, I need to get home before Lana realises I’m missing. Also my dad might have called so I will need to call him back. Let me do this and get a change of clothes. When I’m finished I will come back here and we can talk.”

Lex lifted his head from her neck and looked her in the eye. “Mine,” he said with a growl, allowing his eyes to flash amber and running his finger gently over the mark on her neck. Chloe winced slightly as he touched the mark.

“I don’t belong to anyone Lex,” she said keeping her voice neutral.

“You *belong* to me,” he replied.

“We’ll see,” she replied but with a small smile so as not to anger him.

‘Still defiant my sweet,’ he thought, ‘we’ll let it pass for the moment.’ “Two hours Chloe and then you come back here. And we’ll* talk* if that’s what you want.”

“Five hours Lex.”

He smirked at her, “Three hours and not a minute later,” kissing her nose.

“Four, or I don’t come back at all,” she retorted.

“What if I don’t *let* you leave at all?”

Chloe was already getting more than a little tired of this whole possession thing. And she really didn’t like him telling her what to do. But since she hadn’t thought of a way (yet) to say so with out possibly sending him into a rage like the last time she decided to keep the tone light between them. “Well Lex, if you *don’t* let me leave,” she let her towel drop, “you won’t get to touch this again.”

“Minx,” he muttered with a grin, his feral side enjoying their mate’s playfulness. “Can’t have that now,” he said, gently running his hand over her breasts and down to her stomach, caressing his bite marks. He glanced at his watch, “it’s 11.30am now, and I will see you back here at 4.00pm.” Reluctantly he let his hand drop from her skin and moved to the door. “I’ll leave you to get dressed, and Chloe, don’t make me come looking for you.” With that he left the room.

Chloe breathed a sigh of relief and set about getting dressed.

--------------------------------------------------

After some very heated kisses Chloe managed to get away from Lex and head home. She gave a silent prayer when she got home to see that Lana wasn’t there. She hurried into the house and upstairs to her room. Taped to the door to her bedroom was a note from Lana, saying she headed to the Talon early and didn’t want to wake her and that she’d see her later.

“Thank you,” muttered Chloe and went into her room to change her clothes. In the back of her closest she managed to find a top that covered the mark on her neck. After dressing she headed back downstairs to check the phone messages. As she had guessed her dad had rang. When she had made herself a coffee she called him back.

--------------------------------------------------

Lex was going crazy, and it was still another hour before Chloe was due back. He also knew that when she returned she would want to talk about what was happening with him. “And she can talk about it,” he said to himself, “in bed after we’ve fucked.” His feral side growled in agreement, needing to be buried deep in its mate’s heat. “Only 56 minutes to go.”

--------------------------------------------------

When Chloe finished organizing all the information she wanted to discuss with Lex that night, she stuffed it into her bag and left the house to head back to the castle.

As she approached her car, she met Clark coming up the driveway. “Hey Clark, Lana’s at the Talon.” She adjusted the bag on her shoulder and in the process brushed against the mark on her neck, causing her to whimper softly.

“Are you ok Chloe?” asked a concerned Clark.

“I’m fine, just a little sore. I over did the *exercise* yesterday. Well I’d love to stay and chat but I got to be somewhere.”

“Going anywhere special?”

Chloe bit her lip as she opened the door to her car. “I’m heading over to see Lex,” she said, “he’s kind of helping me with a story.”

“Oh, I see,” said Clark. He got the distinct impression that Chloe wasn’t telling him everything. He always worried that if Lex and Chloe got together to discuss notes about the weird happenings in Smallville they’d put two and two together and get him. “Well have fun.”

“I’ll try,” she replied cryptically and got into her car. She started the engine and gave Clark and small wave before driving off.

Clark stood watching till her car was out of sight. He wrestled with his conscience for a moment before deciding to head over the Lex’s and seeing what exactly Lex and Chloe were working on.

[staysixkid]

Yikes. Clark doesn't know what he's in for. It would serve him right if he saw something that'll scar him for life! Excellent update! Looking forward for more.

[Impress]

So here's what I'm wondering, who's worse at making everything about them, Lana or Clark?

Fab hun, but then you already knew that.

[asharnanae]

Heh heh heh, Bout time clark got his arse royaly kicked!! Please tell me thats going to happen, PLEASE!!!!!

Argh! Why must Clark stick his nose where it doesn't belong? Little does he know that it may get broken....along with the rest of his bones, if he's not careful. And their bartering for when she comes back...great. I also like that Chloe's not down with the whole possession thing cause she's her own woman.

Blue

[drina]

I love possessive Lex...won't mind a boyfriend like that too...but of course it'll be tiresome after awhile. ;)

*************************
Chapter Fifteen – Intrusions

Chloe had just reached the main door when it was flung open by Lex.

“Well aren’t you an eager little puppy,” she said with a smile.

Lex merely smirked at her. He stood back to just enough to allow her to enter but was still close enough that she was forced to brush up against him as she did so. There was a small part of him that was disappointed she had stuck to their agreement and returned when she said she would. His feral side had been quite looking forward to hunting her down and *punishing* her for her defiance. His logical side reasoned that the opportunity to hunt and *punish* his mate would still come since he was certain Chloe would defy him in the future.

As he turned back from closing the door, Lex became aware of the fact Chloe was wearing a top that covered his mark. A slight frown marred his features and he unconsciously dug his nails into the door. It simply wouldn’t do. He knew from their earlier conversation that she had concerns about what everyone else would say, but Lex thought he had made it clear she wasn’t suppose to cover it up. In fact his feral half was more than a little upset that his proof of ownership wasn’t visible. Lex took a deep calming breath. He would let it slide this one time, but would make it very clear to her later that his mark was to be shown at all times. Everyone, every man, in
Smallville needed to know Chloe was his and his alone.

“Where’s all the staff?” she asked as he closed the door behind her.

“I gave them the rest of the afternoon and night off,” he replied, taking her hand. Immediately he began leading her towards the staircase.

“No way Lex,” she said, pulling her hand from his. “I am here to *talk*.”

“We can talk upstairs,” he replied, taking her hand again. Chloe reluctantly relented and they headed upstairs. Chloe gave a small sigh of relief when Lex directed them to the small study across from his room that they had spoken in a few nights ago. When they got inside Chloe dropped her bag and took off her jacket.

Lex wasted no time in wrapping his arms around her and kissing her, determined to completely dissuade her from *talking*. Chloe moaned softly as Lex deepened the kiss and slowly ran his hands under her top. She wrapped her arms around him and leaned her body into his. He lifted her and walked backwards to the couch. Without breaking the kiss, he sat with her still in his arms, arranging her body so she was straddling his lap. He released her mouth and Chloe sucked in some much-needed air as Lex moved his lips over her jaw. He reached up and moved the part of her top covering his mark then ran his tongue over it.

“Lex…please,” came out of her mouth in a part pain part pleasure filled moan. “I want…to talk.”

Grinning to himself he moved his mouth to her ear, “Ok, my sweet let’s talk,” he whispered and delighted in the small shiver she gave. “Let’s talk about how badly I want to fuck you.” He placed his hand on the small of her back and pushed her against his hardening cock. “Let’s talk about how I want to be buried deep inside you for hours. Tell me, are you still sore, my sweet?”

“A bit,” she admitted. She really did want to talk, but her body was over ruling her brain. Lex’s hand cupping her through her panties didn’t help at all.

“We’ll start off easy,” he said and his feral side concurred. He didn’t want to hurt his mate but he wanted to be inside of her. Lex rubbed her gently, feeling her grow hotter with each stroke. His improved hearing picked up the increase in her heart rate.

“Lex,” she said, her voice shaking a little with the effort to suppress her bodies growing demands. “Can we just talk? Please,” she added after a moment.

“Of course we can talk Chloe. We’ll just be naked with me buried inside you while we do.”

Chloe had to smile. Gently, she extracted his hand from beneath her skirt. “I can’t think or talk straight when we’re naked with you buried inside me. Besides, if we talk now we’ll have more time for playing later.”

Lex cocked his head to one side and regarded her. It was a light concession to make. ‘And we’ll just make sure that she can’t walk or talk when we’ve finished with her,’ his feral side thought. Lex kissed her gently but briefly and lifted her off his lap.

“Ok Chloe, what have you discovered?”

--------------------------------------------------

Clark decided to make a detour on his way to the castle and stopped at Pete’s. When he got there he explained his concerns to his friend.

“I think your overreacting Clark,” said Pete. “I mean Lex doing something underhanded I could see…but Chloe? Yeah she likes to dig around but you’re her best friend, shouldn’t you have a little faith in her?”

Clark had the grace to look sheepish. “I do but…Pete I need to know. I need to know what she’s working on and why she needs Lex’s help.”

Pete was silent for a moment. “So I’m guessing you want me to go with you,” he said with a grin.

Clark just grinned back at him. “Let’s go.”

--------------------------------------------------

“So I think your father got this Dr. Hagen to…brew up something,” said Chloe. They had been discussing Chloe’s findings for the last hour. Lex has told her he had suspected his father was behind his changes and told her about the visit from Lionel.

“Your dad is one evil bastard Lex. I mean he’s experimenting on you for crying out loud; his own son,” she exclaimed, “that’s sick.”

“Yes it does seem a bit below Lionel Luthor’s standards.”

“How can you be so calm about this,” asked Chloe.

“What is there to be upset about? I’m faster, stronger, and more powerful. Plus, I’ve never felt more free in my life.” Ok so he had some issues with the famous Luthor control slipping now and again, but he wasn’t about to admit what he perceived as a weakness to his mate.

“But we don’t know what the long term effects are. We don’t even know if we should expect any side effects. All we know is that whatever he’s done to you has made you more, well primal.”

“Didn’t hear you complaining about that last night,” he quipped with a smirk.

Chloe rolled her eyes but otherwise chose to ignore that comment. “I think what we need to do is find this Dr. Hagan. Maybe then we could get some answers and possibly even an antidote.”

Lex was in full agreement until she brought up finding an antidote. Yes, he wanted to find the doctor so he could find out about what other changes he could expect and to find out about any long-term/side effects. But if those effects weren’t life threatening, he didn’t want to be *cured*.

“I have people looking for my father at this moment, and I will talk to them tomorrow about looking for the doctor.” Lex had no intention of letting Chloe know if he found the doctor; that would only lead to questions about a cure. No, he would find Hagan, ask only the questions *he* was concerned about, and let the doctor go on his merry way, with Chloe none the wiser.

Chloe smiled at him and began stuffing all the papers back into her bag. When she looked up at Lex she noticed his eyes were flecked amber. ‘Oh dear,’ she thought and stood up.

“Now Miss Sullivan, I do believe you said something about *playing* when we had finished talking.” He reached out and pulled her against him, covering her mouth with his before she could reply.

--------------------------------------------------

“Well her car is here,” Pete, stated the obvious as he pulled in behind Chloe’s car. Clark jumped out and almost immediately began scanning the castle with his X-Ray vision.

As his gaze travelled over the various rooms, he began to wonder if there was actually anyone home. Suddenly he came across two figures locked in a very heated embrace and gasped loudly.

“Stay here Pete,” he said and quickly entered the house, using his speed to get up the stairs.

--------------------------------------------------

Lex sensed the intruder the moment the person entered the castle. Growling loudly he got up from between Chloe’s thighs and turned his head in the direction of the door, listening. Chloe sat up on the bed, a confused expression on her face. “Lex, what’s going on?”

He turned back to her and Chloe quickly noticed his eyes had gone completely amber. “Stay here,” he ordered and suddenly he was gone.

Chloe got off the bed and adjusted her clothes. They hadn’t really got very far, her shoes and panties having been the only items removed. “My skirt is long enough,” she muttered as she left her panties on the floor, and hurried after Lex.

--------------------------------------------------

Clark never saw him coming. He never saw the blur headed his way despite, or maybe because of, the fact he was moving at high speed towards the room he had seen the couple. Clark suddenly found himself grabbed by the throat and lifted against the wall. He looked down into the wild eyes of Lex Luthor. He would have gasped except Lex was currently cutting off his air supply. The only thing Clark could seem to think at that moment was ‘He’s hurting me. Lex is actually hurting me.’

As soon as he had sensed Clark’s presence, Lex’s feral side had gone into overdrive. The thought that some one would enter his home without permission, especially while he was with his mate, angered him. Lex squeezed his hand tighter around Clark’s neck, not caring that they were suppose to be friends, then threw the younger man through a wooden door into a nearby empty bedroom.

Chloe heard the crash and hurried towards the sound. When she got there she saw Clark lying on the floor and Lex standing over him.

Lex sensed his mate behind him; not at all surprised she had followed him. He saw Clark make eye contact with Chloe, and when the boy called out to his mate, Lex became further incensed. Was Clark here to take Chloe? Never. This pup not only enters his home unwelcome, but has the nerve to call out to *his* mate as though it were his right? Lex grabbed him again and threw him against the wall.

“Chloe, what…” that was as far as Pete got. With a roar, Lex turned on him and like Clark had earlier, Pete found himself against the wall with Lex Luthor squeezing his throat. Pete struggled in vain to free himself from the vice like grip Lex had on his throat and his vision began to blur as he gasped for oxygen.

Chloe didn’t know what to do. She knew Lex was protecting his territory, and that he considered her to be part of his territory, but at that moment he was really out of control. Clark got back on his feet and launched himself at Lex who dropped Pete to fight back.

Clark quickly discovered that Lex was too strong for him and once again found himself pinned to the wall by his *friend*. Chloe snapped herself out of her daze and quickly went to go check on Pete. As she knelt down to check his pulse, Chloe heard a low growl. Her head snapped up and her eyes locked with a set of amber ones.

“Don’t touch him.”

Chloe slowly stood up. She didn’t like not knowing whether Pete was ok, but she knew now wasn’t the time to defy Lex. She kept her eyes locked with his and carefully stepped over Pete’s body. “Lex,” she began, careful to keep her voice soft, “they aren’t here to hurt or take anything or any*one* away from you. They are our *friends*.” Ok so Pete and Lex weren’t so much friends, but damn that really didn’t matter right now.

“Mine,” he growled his eyes still locked on her. She bowed her head slightly and tilting her neck she pulled at her top exposing his mark.

Clark gasped when he saw the bite on Chloe’s neck and Lex backhanded him. “Don’t look at her,” he snarled.

“Yours,” she answered. She took a few cautious steps towards him then stopped. His feral side was in control and she knew the next move was up to him. Lex loosened his grip on Clark, but rather than let him drop, Lex tossed him over in Pete’s direction, somehow managing to miss hitting Chloe with any part of Clark’s body.

‘Please stay down Clark,’ thought Chloe.

Lex could smell the fear coming off Chloe and he breathed hard as his rational side tried to make its voice heard. He closed the distance between them and pulled her to him. The action caused Chloe to lose her grip on her shirt and his mark was once again covered up. Lex, not liking that his claim was again covered, reached up and ripped her top, causing the material to fall on either side of the mark. Lex bent down and licked at his mark. Once more he growled, “Mine” but this time his eyes were locked with Clark’s, sending a message to the younger man.

Chloe made a motion behind her back for Clark to leave. Clark was in a quandary; he had no idea what the hell was going on with Lex, was frightened for Chloe and he didn’t want to leave her alone, but it did seem as though she calmed Lex down. Shaking his head, he gently lifted Pete over his shoulder and backed out of the room.

Chloe soothingly stroked her hand up and down Lex’s back as she waited for the tension to leave his body. It was only after a few moments that Lex’s body was no longer tense for a fight. She could only assume Clark and Pete must have driven off. As Lex continued to nuzzle her neck, giving off a purr, Chloe silently vowed to find the Doctor and get a cure. And get one soon. She didn’t know if the next time he went off like this she would be able to calm him down, and she really didn’t want to find out.

[drina]

That's so exciting! What a great chapter.

But i got one question though: If Clark cannot be hurt (with no green krptonite), how can he feel pain?

Well the concoction brewed by the doctor did include meteor rocks. That and I wanted Lex to be able to hurt Clark in the fic....... :biggrin:

Fi

[crazygirl]

I love feral Lex, and to be honest, I don't want him completely cured. Maybe you could just find something that makes him less violent but that still retains his feral side, like locking him up with Chloe permanently :biggrin: .
That way you'd constantly provide us with great smut, too. :devil:

[Blaire023]

ooh, that was sooo good. I love it. I love it. I want it to have little baby ficlets.

LOL, anyways, thank you for enabling Lex to hurt Clark.

~B

[Julie]

Nice :D Hehe... Keep kicking Clark's ass! Woho!

[asharnanae]

Yessssss!! Clark get an ass whupping!!! :biggrin:

This story just keeps geting better, you are a guenius!!

:worship2: :worship2: :worship2:

I agree with keeping lex feral, more smut all round!! he he!! :eyebrows:

[hurlingturtles]

yeah!!! awesome, awesome, awesome!!! :worship2: Chloe's courting danger, i love it!! Hmmm, it does seem liek Lex requires a cure. *disappointed sigh* i will miss the feral bedpartner, though...

[Elviriel]

:worship2: i love it ! possesive lex .... :drool:

[bluemoongirl23]

Wow. To both the fight and the internal feral Lex stuff. Love that someone was finally able to kick Clark's ass. So glad it was Lex.

Blue

[lisa]

Cool! Lex kicked Clark's butt! :applause: Go Lex, Go Lex. Can't wait till next chapt.

[staysixkid]

:biggrin: eeee...i love it, i love it, i love it. i'm just dancing in my chair. :biggrin: give me more... :huh:

[Calliope]

Wonderful! I, too, hope Lex doesn't get completely cured. He's super-sexy when he's all feral. :blush:

[Charmingjen]

here I am...patiently waiting once again.... I am so so so so loving this.... Lex does seem kinda freaky though with the "Mine" thing...but ooooo do you think Clark is jealous that Lex got to her first? I don't know but I am so entranced by this fic like many of your others fi!

Jen

[Impress]

*shakes head* Not only are you all gutter hounds, (and adorable ones at that) but your bloodthirsty gutter hounds. Not that I can blame any of you for wanting Clark to get a beat down. Especially if that beat down comes from Lex.

Fi, in case I haven't told you before, you are very talented my dear. I'm very much enjoying this story.

[Btab12207]

great chappy!!

i was thinking last night after i watched the episode nicodemus- u kno were lana and pete go wild- well now that were nearing season 3 in the US- im not sure where the seasons are newhere else- all of the main characters except martha and lionel have gone wild or nething like that- but martha could never be wild shes to motherly and lionel is already evil and wild.

Basically, I love it! :wub:

Chapter Sixteen – Reclaim

They remained in the room for several more minutes with Lex still holding her and nuzzling her neck. Suddenly Chloe felt herself being lifted. Lex carried her back to his bedroom, kicking the door shut behind him. He placed her gently on the bed and stood back. She noticed his eyes still held flecks of amber and figured his feral side was probably still close to the surface.

Chloe was a little leery of the look in Lex’s rapidly darkening eyes. It was quite clear what his intentions were, and while she was certain he wouldn’t force her to have sex, she was also certain he would do what he could to change her no to a very vocal yes. ‘Not that giving in and having mind blowing sex would be a chore,’ she thought. ‘Besides, once he’s calmed down I’ll find a sway to slip out and see Clark.’

She smiled at him and took her top off. Keeping her eyes on him she unclasped her bra and threw it on the floor. She hesitated for a second and then slipped her skirt off, tossing it next to her bra. Taking a deep breath she lay back on the bed, holding out her arms and spreading her legs in invitation. A throb began between her legs and Chloe felt a trickle of moisture leak from her core as Lex’s eyes devoured her.

Lex groaned as he watched his mate undress, and when she lay back, all naked and inviting his cock swelled to it’s fullest. As the scent of her arousal hit him, Lex ripped his clothes off and stalked over to the bed. He placed his hands on her thighs, massaging the soft flesh. “So beautiful,” he murmured as he placed himself between her legs. Lowering his head he took a long slow lick of her core.

“Look at me,” he said, and her eyes snapped open. He slowly pushed two fingers inside her and rubbed her inner walls causing her to gasp his name. As he pumped his fingers in and out her pussy he moved up her body.

“Who do you belong too?” he whispered against her lips, his eyes now completely amber, his feral side needing to hear her say she was his.

Chloe reached out a hand and cupped his cheek, she moaned loudly as his fingers increased their rhythm. “You Lex,” she whispered back. With a growl Lex covered her mouth with his, plunging his tongue in and tangling around hers.

He felt her grow slicker and wetter around his fingers. His mouth left hers and he withdrew his fingers bringing them his mouth and licking them clean. “I’ll go easy,” he said as he positioned his body over hers. Chloe wrapped her arms around his neck and loosely rested her legs around his waist.

Lex slowly pushed his cock inside her. Chloe gasped softly in pain as she felt herself being stretched again. His feral side revelled in her slight pain knowing he was the only one who would stretch her like this and hear her gasps.

Lex braced himself on his arms and pressed all the way in. “My mate,” he groaned as every inch was encased in her velvet heat. Despite the slight throbbing pain Chloe loved the feeling of him inside her. She could feel him so hard and pulsing as he began to move.

‘Bliss,’ his feral side moaned as he fucked his mate. He looked at the pleasure on her face through amber-flecked eyes. Chloe pulled his head down and placed open-mouthed kisses all over his face and neck. He growled and thrusted harder into her and she nipped gently on the flesh of his neck.

He wasn’t going to last long. Later, they could make love slowly, but for now he needed to come insider her, needed to know she was his. The rhythm picked up as Chloe moved her hips in time with him. Lex licked at his bite mark as she tightened her muscles around his cock.

He pulled back till the tip of him was inside and then plunged forward.

“Oh fuck,” groaned Chloe, arching her back. With a smirk Lex repeated the move over and over, he would bring her close to the edge and then slow down till Chloe was begging him to let her come. This time as she was reaching her pinnacle Lex didn’t hold back, plunging his cock harder and faster in and out of her.

Chloe buried her face in his neck as she felt her orgasm build. When Lex suddenly reached between them and pinched on her clit she bit into his neck as she came.

The feeling of his mate marking him sent him over the edge and with a guttural roar Lex came hard collapsing on top of her. Chloe struggled to catch her breath as her body jerked in the after effects of her climax.

Lex lifted his head and looked in her eyes, his own eyes were back to their normal colour. He kissed her slowly and rolled till they were on their sides. When he released her mouth he cradled her sweat slick body against his.

Chloe rested her head on his chest and began to move her hips so he would slip from her.

“No,” he growled softly, steadying her movements. “Rest,” he said, and held her close, his cock still inside her.

‘A little sleep,’ she thought, ‘and then I’ll see Clark,’ She placed a soft kiss on his chest and closed her eyes allowing the gentle purr coming from Lex to lull her to sleep.

--------------------------------------------------

“How are you feeling?” asked Clark.

“I have a bitch of a headache,” muttered Pete, “but other than that I’m ok. So, do you want to explain to me what the fuck happened? And why on earth you left Chloe there?”

“I don’t know Pete,” he said, running a hand through his hair. “Lex was…Lex was like an animal, and he hurt me, he actually hurt me.” Clark rubbed his neck gently remembered the pain he felt as his friend had gripped him.

“And Chloe…well...she seemed to calm him down. He was ok with her there.” Clark neglected to tell Pete about the mark on Chloe’s neck or that they were couple he had seen kissing. If he had of he would be dealing with a wild Pete. All he could do was wait for Chloe to get in contact with him and tell him what was going on.

“You don’t think its drugs or something?” asked Pete, “I mean Lex was pretty out of it.”

“I don’t honestly know Pete, I mean this is Smallville anything could have happened,” replied Clark. “It’s probably meteor rock related though, I mean he did mange to hurt me.”

“As much as I want to hear what Chloe has to say,” said Pete, “I really need to take some painkillers and lie down.”

“I’ll bring you home,” said Clark “and we’ll get the doc to check you out. You were knocked unconscious Pete,” he added when his friend was about to protest.

“Ok, ok,” relented Pete, “but you will tell me everything after you talk to Chloe.”

“Agreed,” said Clark and they left the barn.

--------------------------------------------------

Chloe woke up after a few hours and tried to move out of Lex’s arms. She heard him growl and tighten his grip on her.

“Lex, I need to go to the bathroom,” she said. With a sigh Lex let her go, they both groaned as his still hard cock slipped from her.

Chloe scrambled from the bed and headed into the bathroom. She closed the door and leaned back against it. “Ok,” she muttered, “I need to get him to let me leave for a few hours.” Deciding the best way was to just ask him she took a deep breath and left the room.

When she walked back into the bedroom, Lex was lying on his back, his eyes closed. Biting her lip she moved to the bed and sat on the edge beside him, resting her hand on his chest. “Lex,” she said softly.

“MMM,” he replied, his eyes still closed. He knew quite well what she was going to ask, he had heard the muttering in the bathroom.

“Lex, I need to go for a few hours,” she said, running her hand up and down his chest. He said nothing and kept his eyes closed. Chloe moved her hand lower and stroked his cock gently.

His eyes opened and locked on hers. “Harder,” he growled.

Chloe tightened her grip on him and stroked harder. She leaned forward and kissed his lips gently, “I’ll be back tonight,” she said, rubbing her thumb over the head of his cock and causing him to groan. She lengthened her strokes on his cock, moving from base to tip. Looking in to his eyes, she saw amber once again flecked throughout, “so Lex, is it ok for me to go?” Before he could answer she leaned down and began swirling her tongue around his cock.

“Take me Chloe,” he moaned, happy to let his mate take control for a moment.

Chloe smiled and began taking him in her mouth, relaxing her throat to take him deeper. She began moving her head up and down, his cock sliding in and out her throat. Lex began moving his hips in time with her, slowly fucking her mouth. Her hand rubbed and caressed his balls.

“Faster,” he panted feeling the pressure build.

She licked and sucked faster and squeezed him hard.

“CHLOE,” he cried and came in her mouth, Chloe milked him till he gently tugged on her hair and she lifted her mouth. He wasn’t quite sure of her motives but she had come back the last time and he didn’t really want to mistrust his mate. “Be back by 11.00pm Chloe,” he said, pulling her mouth to his. He kissed her gently, tasting himself. When they parted Chloe nodded and kissed him back.

[xadie]

*****************

Chapter Seventeen – Making Plans

Chloe bypassed the house completely and headed straight for the barn. “Clark,” she called out as she entered.

“Chloe,” came a very relived sounding reply, “I’m up here.”

Chloe headed up to the loft to find Clark hovering around his telescope. “Where’s Pete,” she asked. “Are you guys ok?”

“Pete’s has a bad headache but he’s ok. He's at home resting. And I’m fine,” he replied, “What about you Chloe, are you ok? And what the hell happened at the mansion?”

“I’m fine Clark,” she said, sitting on the couch ignoring his second question.

“That doesn’t look like fine,” said Clark sitting beside her and brushing his fingers over the mark on her neck. She had to wear one of Lex’s sweaters as he had ripped her top. It was a little big on her and did nothing to cover up the mark, which she guessed was his plan.

“That’s not what’s important right now, Clark,” she said moving his hand away. It just didn’t feel right to have anyone but Lex touching that mark. “The important thing right now is to help Lex.”

“I can’t help if I don’t know what’ s going on.”

“Ok, I’m going to tell you what I know. But...this stays between us. I don’t want to risk this getting around and I’m sure Lex doesn’t either, so the fewer people who know, the better for us. I don’t care what excuse you give Pete for what happened but what I tell you has to stay between us,” she said, her tone serious. “Just add it to the list of secrets you keep from everybody,” she said unable to resist the dig.

Clark cringed slightly at her words, “ok Chloe, this is between you and me.”

“Right, this is what I know so far…”

--------------------------------------------------

“That is just crazy,” said Clark for about the tenth time as he paced back and forth in front of Chloe. She had told him everything. Well, she might have left out the fact she and Lex had had sex. Lots of sex. She might have also failed to mention there were additional bite marks on other parts of her body. Neither of those facts seemed to be relevant to the situation.

“I know Clark, and you know what else is crazy? Lex likes what has happened to him. And I think he’d be quite happy to remain as he is. Even if we find this Dr. Hagan, and he is able to produce an antidote, I seriously doubt Lex will take it willingly.”

“But you said Lex was going to search for the doctor.”

“And I have no doubt that he will Clark. However, that doesn’t mean he’s actually going to tell me if he finds him. Going by the way he’s acting now, I’m guessing he’d question the doctor, get whatever information *he* needs and be done with it. And afterwards he’ll conveniently forget to tell me about having found the man, let alone any information he might have gotten from the doctor.”

“So it’s up to us to find the doctor first,” said Clark, sitting down beside her again.
“Yes, and we have to do this without Lex knowing. He really loses it when people disobey him,” she said. ‘Especially when *I* disobey him,’ she silently added.

“Chloe,” began Clark, “explain the whole mine/yours thing back at the mansion. And how did you manage to calm him down.”

‘Fuck,’ thought Chloe, hoping Clark wouldn’t have brought that up. “It’s the funniest thing Clark, it seems that for some wall of weird strange reason, Lex has chosen me for his mate, as evidenced by the scary hickey on my neck. And because of that I can, well soothe the beast. But if Lex continues to get more and more feral, I’m not sure I’m going to be able to continue doing that.”

“Are you sleeping with him Chloe?” asked Clark softly, a blush flooding his cheeks.

“No Clark, NO,” she lied. “Just kissing and a bit of *fumbling* about.” ‘It’s sort of the truth,’ she tried to tell herself, ‘we really haven’t spent much time actually *sleeping* together.’

“What’s the plan then?” he asked, turning away from the embarrassing subject. “Where do we even start looking for this doctor?”

Chloe dug the information out of her bag that she had got on Hagan and handed it to Clark. “This is everything I have discovered about him. So maybe if we start with the last place he worked, which just happens to be one of the Luthor-Corp sub-plants in Metropolis.”

“Fine, let me check that out tomorrow,” said Clark, looking at the pages. “You see what exactly Lex is doing about finding him. I will contact you when I get back and we can discuss what I find.”

Chloe was a little pissed about not going to search the plant with Clark, but it was probably better for all of them if she kept Lex in a calm mood for the moment. “Ok, but you call me the moment you get back.”

“I will,” he said, “so do you want me accompany you home?”

“I’m heading back to Lex’s,” replied Chloe standing up. “Remember Clark the moment you get back.”

Clark nodded and watched her leave. Part of him wanted to follow her and make sure she was ok at the castle, but Lex sensed him the last time, probably from the moment he entered the house, and Clark wasn’t eager for a repeat performance. Taking a deep breath he decided to head over to Pete’s instead and try and come up with a good enough story to tell Pete without actually giving anything away.

--------------------------------------------------

As she drove home for a quick shower, Chloe was very tempted to stay there and not head back to the castle. Part of her wondered at what Lex would do if she didn’t turn up. ‘Probably run over to my house and drag me back like a caveman,’ she thought to herself with a laugh.

She sobered up quickly. “This is getting far too intense,” she said, “Yeah I like Lex. Ok, I like Lex a lot, but everything is out of control. This whole possession and obeying crap is getting old real fast. I’m my own person. I’m independent. Lex is just going to have to realize that I don’t take orders from him. I have my own mind and I choose what I will and will not do. And I’m going to tell him that too. Tomorrow. Tonight, I’ll do as he says because earlier today was really scary. But tomorrow I am going back to my own house and he just better accept that. Good Chloe you have a plan. Go home; shower and change so you don’t run the risk Lex might smell Clark on you and go ballistic, again, then head back to the mansion. And tomorrow, you tell Lex you’re going home and staying there.”

Chloe felt much better and more focused as she turned down the street to her house.

--------------------------------------------------

Lex watched the front of the house from the window in the study keeping an eye out for Chloe’s car. He glanced at the clock, 10.50pm and smirked to himself as he looked out the window again. She would defy him eventually; he knew it wasn’t in her nature to be controlled. And he wanted her too, his feral side was practically screaming for her to. Because when she did, the punishment would be that much sweeter. He would savour every moment of it; he would have her on her knees begging him to fuck her after he’d teased her into a frenzy. He groaned loudly at the images that brought to his mind.

He thought back to Clark and Pete’s intrusion earlier. He had never felt so angry in his life, and had it not been for Chloe he would have ripped them apart.

‘Clark could be a problem,’ his feral side spoke up. ‘Our mate used to have a crush on him.’

“They’re only friends,” muttered Lex, “Chloe is mine. She knows it, Clark knows it, and soon everyone else will know it and there won’t be a damn thing Clark Kent can do about it. And if he tries, not even Chloe will be able to save him.”

His eyes turned amber, but settled back to their normal colour when he saw Chloe’s car coming down the driveway. Pushing aside, for the moment, all thoughts about Clark Kent, Lex headed out of the room and down the stairs to greet his mate.

[Gemini]

:yay: Whew, I think I needed that plot-chapter. My brain couldn't take another hit of feral Lex so soon again. Poor Chloe having to explain to Clarkie about *fumbling* around with Lex Luthor. :lol:

[xadie]

:yay: Fabulous as ever! I love possessive Lex, but I kinda hope Chloe manages to get normal Lex back. He's bordering on the psychotic where Chloe is concerned and that's a bit scary! Plus he'd never go to work again unless Chloe went with him, and I can't see her giving up school etc to babysit Lex all the time.

I love this fic, it makes me think!

[asharnanae]

:biggrin: you make sooooo happy!!!!!

[shipperchick]

Super dooper story! You've kept the tension up marvelously, and I love feral!lex, but super!yay to Chloe for being an independent woman and demanding her freedom! yay! Can't wait for more!

Oh yeah and the smut is :yay: hot! ::fans herself::

[vardaquareien]

“Just kissing and a bit of *fumbling* about.” Oh lord Clark will believe anything! I mean, can you imagine Lex ever fumbling with anything, let alone with a woman.

Can't wait til Chloe disobeys him. 1stly for the wonderfully Chloe yelling it would entail, 2ndly for the 'punishment' Lex would dish out!

Yes I agree that Lex is scary now. I liked him better when he was just slightly feral & possessive!

[Lex]

Ha ha ha! This is very good so far, I'm just looking forward to Lana flirting with Lex - ha ha ha! That image is funny without jealous Clark thrown in! Hope you update soon!!! ;)

[Charmingjen]

:worship2: great chapter fi! This fic is really coming along great. Hope to read the next part soon!

Jen

[drina]

Lex is more feral than wolvie! Wow...quite a turn-on...guess even with enlightened women of today, some of us (specifically me) still find the thought of an alpha male very arousing. ;)

[Lex]

Okay... now I have read more than the first page I must say that this story is brilliant! Lovin' the Chlexiness so I hope you update soon! :cool:

[Val]

LOVED it! More more more! :yay2: :biggrin:

[bluemoongirl23]

More proof that Clark's an idiot (like we needed any): he believed Chloe's story. Lex's feral internal monologue is great, as was Chlo's little talk with herself. And, we don't mind plot, when it's that well-written.

Blue

[Brittany]

Love your fic, it's so hot! Please hurry and update soon, if you don't I might go into a feral Lex rage and throw things, and only more Chlex could calm me! :devil:

[Charlie]

More, More, More. We need more of the good stuff. Great story, I just love possessive Lex. :biggrin: The way he kicked Clark's ass was fantastic. That'll teach hiim not to mess with Lex.

[ruafair]

Thanks for the feedback guys, it is greatly appreciated...Big Hugs to Imp for all her help....Fiona

********************

Chapter Eighteen – Rebellion

For the second time Chloe woke up alone. As before, lying on the pillow beside her was a single red rose and a note.

{I’ve headed to the plant and to make a start on looking for Dr Hagan. I will be back later on and I’ll see you here.

Lex}

“Perfect,” said Chloe, “I can head off now and maybe go with Clark to Metropolis,” ignoring the way Lex had underlined the word ‘here’ in his note. She got out of the bed and grabbed the phone, dialling Clark’s number.

“Please still be there,” she muttered as she waited for it to be answered.

“Hello,” came the reply.

“Clark, it’s Chloe, listen I've been thinking. I’ll go to Metropolis with you. Give me an hour and I’ll meet you at your place.”

“What about Lex?” asked Clark.

“Don’t worry about him,” she replied, “an hour Clark.” She hung up and headed for the shower.

“Damn it Lex,” she muttered when she saw the fresh bite marks on her breasts and thighs. She was going to have to talk to Lex about those. She showered and dressed quickly.

She left a note for Lex and after grabbing the red rose she quickly headed out of the castle.

--------------------------------------------------

Lex sat behind his desk listening to a couple of the plant workers drone on and on. He tried to give the impression that he was listening but his mind was elsewhere. He felt restless and full of energy; his feral side disliked all this inactivity. ‘Unless it’s lying wrapped up in our mate after making love for hours,’ it piped up. Lex bit back a groan as his mind was filled with images of last night.

‘I need to get rid of these guys, hurry through my meeting with the men who are going to look for Hagan and get back to Chloe,’ he thought.

“Well gentlemen,” he said, clapping his hands together, “that sounds fine. As soon as Gabe Sullivan gets back to Smallville we can look into it in more detail.” Lex neglected to mention he was in the process of making sure Gabe would be away for at least another two weeks.

The two men nodded and left the office. About ten minutes later two others came in. “Have a seat,” said Lex; “I have a little job for the both of you.”

--------------------------------------------------

“So what made you change your mind?” asked Clark as they drove towards Metropolis.

Chloe shot Clark and ‘are you kidding’ look. “Come on Clark, did you honestly think I’d let you go and do all the investigating by yourself,” she replied with a laugh.

“What did you tell Lex?”

“I didn’t tell him anything, he is not my keeper. Anyway if he asks I’ll say I took a trip with my best friend.”

They continued their drive, chatting as they did. But in the back of her mind Chloe knew Lex was going to be pissed when he got back to the castle and found her gone.

--------------------------------------------------

They arrived at one of the small branches of Luthor-Corp that was dotted about Metropolis at 1.00pm. “It would be perfect if we could get into the lab,” muttered Chloe as they made their way around the back. The back of the building had a service entrance and there was only one guard standing duty.

Clark looked around the building, using his x-ray vision to peer inside. He spotted a small office to the left of the lab, which would be perfect for Chloe to poke about in. And it would keep them out of sight. ‘Now, how to get in?’ he thought.

The same question was going around Chloe’s mind as she looked for a way in. “Looks like the only way in is through there,” she said, pointing at the back door.

“Wait here Chlo,” said Clark and he ran off around the corner to an open window he had seen, but when he got there he noticed it was too high up to get through. Well they could get through it but that would involve showing off his *skills* to Chloe. Glancing around he noticed a dumpster against the other wall. He pulled it over and opened it; concentrating on its contents he set fire to it. Glancing around the comer at Chloe once again he caught her eye, “get ready to run,” he mouthed and she nodded.

Making it look like it was an effort Clark pushed the dumpster over towards the guard with enough speed so that he flew past him into a park car. The guard had just opened the back door to go in when the flaming dumpster flew past and into the car. Reacting immediately he ran over to it. Taking her cue Chloe ran towards the door and slipped inside quickly followed by Clark.

“Go Clark, thinking on his feet,” she whispered to him with a grin. Clark grinned back.

“Let’s try this way,” he said, leading them in the direction of the small office he had seen. The place was rather quiet and Chloe wondered if there was anyone in the building at all. Within minutes they had come across the office. Clark tried the handle and it opened, “in here Chlo,” he said and they slipped in. He shut the door behind him.

There was a computer on a small desk and a filing cabinet in the corner. “You take the cabinet,” sad Chloe sitting down at the desk, “I’ll look at this. And keep your ears open.”

Clark and headed over to the cabinet while Chloe powered up the computer and they set about trying to find out about Dr Hagan.

--------------------------------------------------

The minute Lex entered the castle he knew Chloe wasn’t there. He ran up the stairs to his room and found her note on the table.

{Lex, I’m heading home and then out I have quite a few things to do today. I might see you later and if not I’ll see you tomorrow.

Chloe.}

He crumpled up the piece of paper in his hand. “She left,” he growled, “she disobeyed me. She’s gone out to do THINGS.” He began pacing the room, his anger growing.

‘She could be with Kent,’ his feral side spoke up.

Lex began breathing hard as he felt control disappearing. Even with his rational side still in charge he was so angry with Chloe. She was his mate; she was supposed to be here like he had said.

“When I find her I’m not letting her out of my sight again,” he growled, “I am going to lock her in this room when I’m not around. I’ll take all her fucking clothes away. She will NEVER disobey me again.”

Lex let out a roar as he willingly gave himself over to his feral side. His eyes became amber and an evil smirk graced his face. “Enjoy your freedom Chloe,” he said, “while it lasts.”

--------------------------------------------------

“Find anything?” asked Clark.

“I’m not sure,” replied Chloe, “but I’m downloading some stuff that might be helpful. What about you?”

“A few files on research into performance enhancing drugs, and what looks like a file on the behaviours of wolves and large cats. I’ve grabbed them because they sort of tie in with what has happened to Lex.”

“Cool. Well this has finished,” she grabbed the disk from the computer and stuff it along with the files Clark had taken into her bag. “We’ll go through these in more detail at my place.”

Clark moved over to the door and opened it slightly, seeing no one on the corridor he motioned for Chloe to follow him out. When they got to the exit Clark noticed the guard was talking to some members of the fire department.

Quickly as possible without drawing attention to themselves they headed over to Chloe’s car and made a quick getaway.

“That was so cool,” said Clark with a grin, “you and me doing the research thing.”

“Yeah it was pretty cool,” replied Chloe with a matching grin. “So partner in crime let’s head back to Smallville and go through what we got.”

--------------------------------------------------

Lex had been all over Smallville but hadn’t found Chloe. At Chloe’s house he had spoken to Lana who twittered on and on about nothing until he finally managed to get from her that Chloe had dropped by to change her clothes and then took off, saying she wouldn’t be back till later. Fuelled by whispers from his feral side he raced over to Clark’s place and picked up her scent there. He ran across Jonathan and Martha who were just heading off for a couple of days, they informed him that Clark had taken off earlier with Chloe, and they’d be gone for the day. Lex barely resisted the urge to rip Jonathan’s throat out when he didn’t know where they had gone.

He had spent the last hour running back and forth between Chloe’s house and Clark Kent’s barn, guessing one of these places would be where she would come back too. As each minute passed he got angrier and angrier. He kept himself out of sight of people because he didn’t honestly know what he would do if someone got in his way. Although he had wanted his mate to defy him, he hadn’t actually counted on her defiance making him this angry.

After no sign of life at Clark’s place for the last fifteen minutes Lex turned and ran back towards Chloe’s house, visions of what he was going to go to his mate when he got her filling his mind.

[staysixkid]

:badboy: Chloe better hurry her ass home! :tongue: He's going to rip her apart (take it anyway you want to.). Promise us, that her punishment (if you wanna call it that) will be good. Don't hold out on us. Liked the part about taking all her clothes away. I'd love to she him try.

Poor Chloe.... I can't wait for next part.... Furious evil Lex... :devil:
Please, write more soon!

[Charlie]

I think someone has been very naughty and needs to be punished. What ever is Lex going to do to Chloe? What ever her punishment is I hope she will be able to walk in a day or two. It should also be made very clear to Clark that Chloe belongs to Lex. :devil:

[Tandy]

Oh, poor Chloe (or maby not!), wonder what Lex will do when she gets home! Can't wait to see!

Tandy

[Gemini]

Oh my God!!! What's going to happen?? *shriek* This is too stressful :ohmy:

[Elviriel]

Brr ... Lex is angry. He will be mad at Chloe ... but hey, she's a free girl he's not her master ! She's not her property ... but if there's a punishment, I want it to be :wub:

[drina]

Lex seems to be letting his feral side take over too much...scary...

[bluemoongirl23]

Oh, not good. Lex's feral side is taking over. I don't see Chloe backing down from him this time, either. The confronation ought to be very interesting....and scary, the way that Lex is thinking right now.

Blue

[Val]

Scary scary Lex! More soon, you cant leave us like this!

[justicea]

It's kinda scary lex like this but boy it's exciting too.
J

[chlexy]

Okay, after a few days I'm caught up on this fic and WOW. lol. It's amazing. :D How you pump the parts out so fast and still make them all thoroughly entertaining I will never know. But I ain't complainin'. ;)

Loving this wild side of Lex, but yeah, it's definitely taking him over more and more. I hope Chloe can reason with him, like come to some sort of understanding otherwise she's going to be in alot of trouble.

Can't wait for more. *biting finger nails here!*

[fighterangel]

:yay: omg this is sooo good, i want more, Lex is soo insanely hot. Feral Lex rocks. Write more... smut and plot.

[dsapiro]

Lex is getting scary... Update soon!

[celticangel]

Can't wait for the next part!! :drool: :chlexsign1:

[vardaquareien]

*crouches under desk in fear* Hope Chloe can tame the wild beast (in more ways than one!) :satanwink:

If Lex is gonna go ballistic in the next chappy (which looks inevitable) hope it's in front of Clark and Lana. When he's calmed down a bit then he and Chloe should have some alone time. (if ya know what I mean) :devil: But him in this temperament alone with Chloe would be just a bit too scary.

Oooh you've got me on waiting on tenderhooks to see what's gonna happen! I :wub: this fic!

[ruafair]

Ok all I'll say on this chapter and the next one is don't hate me..... :devil: ....Fiona

*******************************

Chapter Nineteen – Out of Control

Chloe and Clark chatted amiably as they drove ever closer to Smallville. But in the back of Chloe’s mind she couldn’t help but think something was wrong. Ever since they had left Metropolis Lex had been on her mind, ok Lex was pretty much always on her mind, but it was somehow different this time. She knew he was going to be livid when he got back to the castle and found her gone. And when he discovered she had spent the best part of the day with Clark he was really going to go over the edge. She sighed deeply.

“What’s wrong?” asked Clark.

“Oh nothing,” she said, forcing a grin. “Listen let’s go to your place instead, if that’s ok?” ‘I have a feeling Lex will probably be hanging around my place,’ she added to herself.

“That’s fine,” he replied, “my parents are visiting my grandfather so we won’t be disturbed.”

“Cool,” she said, and made the turning towards the Kent farm.

--------------------------------------------------

Darkness reigned as Lex continued prowling through the fields of Smallville. As the minutes ticked by, Lex grew more and more out of control. His mate had spent most of the day with another man, though in truth Clark was little more than a boy. It didn’t matter, boy or man, the fact of the matter was Chloe was with a male that wasn’t him.

His anger rose another notch and he felt a prickling sensation begin in his hands. Slowing his pace momentarily, Lex looked at his hands and saw his nails now strongly resembled claws. Soon visions of Clark’s hands and lips touching Chloe’s skin invaded his mind, and Lex stopped completely in his tracks. The thought of Clark, or any male, touching his mate was the final straw. Lex threw his head back, closed his eyes and let loose an enraged howl.

He opened his eyes and looked around the fields. He snarled, a bit frustrated at not seeing anything to sink his *claws* into. He was itching to rip some thing or some *one* apart. Roaring he took off running trough the fields again.

--------------------------------------------------

“Can I get you anything to eat or drink?" asked Clark as they entered the farmhouse.

“Coffee please,” said Chloe, with a hint of pleading.

With a laugh Clark set about making them coffee while Chloe sat at the kitchen table and took out the files Clark had taken. “We can look at what I downloaded tomorrow,” she said, “we’ll just go through these for the moment.” She took off her jacket and threw it over a chair, as she looked through the files she absently ran her finger over the bite mark on her neck.

Clark brought over the two mugs of coffee and frowned slightly when he saw Chloe touching the mark. “Chloe, if it’s a serum or drug that Lionel gave Lex, maybe…maybe you should get that mark seen too. I mean he did *bite* you.” He sat down and placed a mug in front of her.

“I think I’ll be fine,” she said with a grin, grabbing the coffee. “Come on Clark, you take this one,” handing him a file, “and let’s see what we can find out.”

--------------------------------------------------

“What was that?” said Chloe after about an hour.

“What?” asked a confused Clark, looking around him.

“I thought I heard something,” she said, standing up from the table and moving towards the back door.

“Chloe, wait,” said Clark, joining her. “Let me look around first. You stay here.” He opened the back door and cautiously peered out.

“What is it with people…guys especially always telling *me* what to do?” mumbled Chloe under her breath. She stood in the doorway and watched Clark.

“I think you’re hearing…” Clark never finished his sentence as suddenly he went flying through the air and hit the side of the barn.

“CLARK,” screamed Chloe, rushing over towards him.

“Jeez, was that a truck?” moaned Clark as he struggled to sit up. Chloe placed an arm around his waist and helped him. A loud growl drew her attention away from Clark and she turned her head in the direction of the noise.

“Oh my God,” she gasped.

Standing, bathed in the moonlight was Lex Luthor. Well at least Chloe thought it was Lex. His shirt was all ripped; his shoes and socks seemed to be missing as well. He kept clenching and unclenching his hands. She gasped louder when she saw the blood stains on the remnants of his shirt and splattered across the pale skin of his chest. Moving her eyes higher she noticed the blood on his chin and his completely amber eyes. He was snarling and baring his teeth, saliva dripping from his incisors.

“Oh God, oh God,” she muttered, helping Clark to his feet.

“Get out of here Chloe,” said Clark.

She looked at him with wide eyes, “Clark Kent I am NOT leaving you here alone with him.”

Lex watched the interaction between his mate and the boy. He took in the way Chloe’s arm was still around Clark’s waist as they stood and Clark’s arm rested around hers. He growled loudly as he saw she once again had his mark covered up.

In the blink of an eye Chloe found herself knocked to the ground and Lex had Clark held up against the barn, “HANDS OFF HER,” snarled Lex and punched Clark in the face before throwing him across the yard.

Chloe pushed herself to her feet as Lex turned to face her. She had no idea what to do; she didn’t think the whole submissive thing would work now. And the look in Lex’s eyes was frightening. She had no idea where the blood had come from and she stumbled backwards as Lex advanced on her.

She glanced briefly behind Lex to see Clark lying dazed on the ground. Chloe was suddenly pinned against the wall by Lex. “You dare look at him,” he snarled, and brought his hand up. Chloe closed her eyes and shrunk back as much as she could, thinking he was going to hit her. Her eyes flew open when she heard the sound of material ripping. Lex had ripped her top open, exposing his mark and a good portion of her bra.

“L-L-Lex,” she stammered, her voice filled with fear.

He growled at her and ran his finger roughly over the bite mark causing her to cry out. A smirk crossed his face at her pained cry. “You are MINE Chloe Sullivan.”

Before she could reply Clark launched himself at Lex at full speed. Both men went crashing through the door of the barn.

“CHLOE RUN," shouted Clark as he punched Lex in the face. This time Chloe listened to him and took off running, holding her ripped top against her chest.

Clark looked down at Lex, who was pinned under him and he gasped as he watched the cut lip he had given him with the punch heal right before his eyes. “It’s going to take more than that farm *boy*,” he growled and pushed Clark off him. Clark ended up on the floor, sprawled on his stomach.

“Did you honestly think you could take her from me,” continued Lex as he approached him. “She is MINE,” and he kicked Clark hard in the ribs. Clark tried to speak but Lex hauled him to his feet. “You touched her, I smelled you all over her. I can smell her on you,” he head butted Clark and released him, causing the younger man to stumble backwards.

“Lex,” gasped Clark, “this…this isn’t you. I don’t want to hurt you.”

Lex threw his head back and laughed, “but you’re doing such a good job of it Clark.” ‘Find Chloe,’ his feral side demanded. Lex advanced on Clark again, and even with his speed Clark couldn’t get out of his way in time.

“I’d love to stay,” said Lex between punching Clark in the face, “but I have a mate to find and punish.” One final punch sent Clark flying into the opposite wall and he crashed to the floor, unconscious.

Lex walked out of the barn and inhaled deeply. He picked up Chloe’s scent immediately and took off in her direction.

--------------------------------------------------

“Oh fuck,” panted Chloe as she tried to catch her breath. “I should have taken the car.” She paused for a moment, looking around her. Her legs and sides ached from running. She leaned against a tree as she got her breath back and planned her next move.

‘Ok, my place is definitely out, so I’ll try Pete’s,’ she thought. She let out a scream as she was grabbed from behind and pressed against the tree.

“Chloe,” growled Lex into her ear. He then spun her around till she faced him and pulled her top away. She was literally shaking with fear. The scent of her fear inflamed him, ‘she should be afraid,’ he thought. He looked like a rabid animal, eyes all-wild, snarling and gnashing his teeth, saliva dripping from them. He tightened his grip on her arms, digging his fingers into her flesh.

“Lex, please,” she said, her voice trembling, a tear spilling from her eye.

“Shush,” he said, “begging will come later.” He leaned forward and licked the tear from her cheek. He grabbed her hand and began dragging her.

“Lex, let me go,” she struggled against his vice like grip on her wrist. He ignored her and continued pulling her along; he wanted to get back to the castle and his room. She struggled harder and began screaming loudly.

He quickly turned and covered her throat with his hand. He squeezed hard and Chloe clawed at his hand as she tried to breath, she could feel herself becoming light-headed and her vision started to fade. After a moment she fell unconscious. Lex hoisted her over his shoulder and quickly headed back to the castle.

[staysixkid]

:ohmy: ok, that chapter just give me Goosebumps all over. I'm still shivering. That was intensely scary. :sad: This feral side of Lex isn't looking so sexy anymore. Just have him calm down a bit when he get's to the castle. :goof:

I can't believe I'm saying this, but poor Clark. :blush:

Awesome update, I'm looking for the follow up.

[Tandy]

:ohmy: Goodness! They really need to find a cure now! Wow, really intense chapter!

Tandy

[Gemini]

OH MY GOD!!!!!!! That was so intense! What's going to happen?? I have to know, this is killing me.

[dsapiro]

That was a scary Lex. He should learn to trust his mate, and not get all wild. I hope they find a cure or at least something that helps. Update soon!

[Sunflow]

Oh my X_x the intensity... the tension... I have a bad feeling about this... just don't let Lex hurt Chloe.

Your story got me thinking about what we might get when our wishes come true :huh: Next time I might think better of wishing for a dream with a feral male in it :D (I have enough problems with the Hobbit mafia that keeps haunting me X_x never wish for a M-E dream.. I never thought Hobbits were so scary O_o)

Anyway, back to the topic. Descriptions of changes that Lex is going through are beautiful, so vivid and full of life. And passion. And wolfishness! ^_^ I also love your fast updates! Great job :)

Sunflow

[Charmingjen]

Holy god..... :huh: Lex is just....ravage.... I agree with staysixkid poor Clark...but then again poor Chloe!! I'm not liking this wild out of control Lex...he's too agressive and abusive..... Hope Chloe will be fine once they get back.. Update soon ok?

Jen

[bluemoongirl23]

I can only reiterate what everyone else has said. That was an intense chapter. Lex has totally gone off the deep end. While I love a Clark beating as much as the next girl, I was wincing during it. You can't leave us hanging like that, we need the next chapter now!

Blue

[crazygirl]

I think Lex needs a cure *now*, but I can't help but wonder what he will do once he's back to normal and can (or can't ) remember everything that happened.

[chlexy]

OMG. OMG. That was freaky! And well, if he does remember (which I hope he does or at least has some sense of what he's done) then he has alot to do to make it up to Chloe if he goes any further with this than he has already. Scary man. You can just feel how freaked out Chloe must be. Jebus! Kudos. That chap was way intense and def scary.

More!

[Val]

Oh God!!!! How can you just stop there?????? :huh:
Yes Lex needs to snap out of it before he kills Chloe! :S

[vardaquareien]

What's gonna happen? WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN? I really really need to know, my sanity is hanging by a thread! Wow this is just...wow!

[Elviriel]

:worship2: Poor Clark ! and poor, poor Chloe ! Lex isn't sexy at all there ! Update soon I can't wait to see what happens !

[xadie]

Oh that was excellent! You've done such a good job of building up feral Lex, this chapter was totally in character, and yet this was the same Lex we all loved just a few chs ago! I had a nasty premonition that this was on the way, and I actually feel bad for wishing a beating on Clark! Loved it!

[lunaluthor]

thanks for the warning and I don't hate you but (yes the prominent but) I was scared, don't like violent Lex although I know it's necessary for your story

very intense writing :ohmy:

[ruafair]

Oh I love everyone's reactions.....Fiona

*****************

Chapter Twenty – Come Down

Upon return to the castle, Lex took Chloe to his room and laid her on his bed. He paced back and forth waiting for her to wake up. When that didn’t appear to be forthcoming, he left the room, leaving the door open, and headed to one of the unused rooms at the end of the corridor, then proceeded to completely demolish it. Rage, anger and disappointment coursed through him and he need to blow off some energy.

Tables and chairs was smashed, painting were ripped off the walls. Clocks and china figurines were smashed into smithereens. ‘She was with HIM all day,’ he thought as he ripped through another picture.

He felt the prickling sensation in his hands again and watched as he nails grew claw like once more. Smirking to himself he used his *claws* to rip through the upholstery on the large couch in the room.

Lex whipped his head around as he heard as sound coming from his room. Concentrating hard he watched as his claws retracted. He pulled off his blood stained shirt, dropping it to the ground and then walked slowly but purposely back to his bedroom.

--------------------------------------------------

“Oh,” groaned Chloe as her head pounded. She tried to sit up but a wave of dizziness sent her lying back on the bed. “Not a good idea,” she muttered. Taking a deep breath she moved to sit up again, this time moving much slower.

As the cloud surrounding her mind cleared the events of the past few hours came rushing back. “Oh god,” she said as she looked around and realized she was in Lex’s room. She scrambled off the bed, ignoring the dizziness and nausea her movements caused.

Glancing down Chloe noticed she was just wearing her underwear. She remembered Lex ripping her top, but she couldn’t remember what had happened to her jeans. “Not important,” she muttered and made for the door, only to smack into Lex.

Letting out a scream she backed away from him quickly. Lex picked up on her increased heartbeat immediately. He growled slightly when he could still smell Clark on her. His growl caused Chloe’s heart to beat even faster. ‘Oh God,’ she thought again as she took in the completely feral Lex, his teeth bared and the flecks of blood still on his chest.

“Lex,” she croaked.

The closer he got to her to stronger her fear grew. The scent of it filled the room. Chloe frantically looked around the room and seeing the bathroom door open made a run for it. But Lex was too quick and caught her easily. He snarled at her and threw her onto the bed. She landed on it with a soft thud.

Chloe scrambled on the bed and pressed herself against the headboard, her legs pulled up against her chest and her arms wrapped around them.

“I really thought my…request was simple,” he said, each word accompanied by a harsh growl. “You were to stay HERE till I got back.”

‘Begging will come later,’ his words from earlier filled her mind. ‘Begging for what,’ she thought. Chloe had no idea how to calm him down. She knew he was far stronger than her and at the moment he was not acting or thinking rationally at all, he was purely animal. She had never been so scared in her life.

Lex’s hands shot out and grabbed her ankles, pulling her down towards him. Chloe kicked and struggled in vain against his hold. “Lex please,” she whimpered, tears in her eyes, “don’t hurt me.”

“Did you think you could disobey me and not get punished?” he said, his voice ending in a roar. The tears flowed more freely from Chloe’s eyes. She gasped as she felt something sharp against her legs and looked down to see his *claws*. Lex trailed one hand up her body to the front of her bra. Chloe’s entire body shook with terror; the scent of it was so strong it was almost palatable, the rapid beating of her heart and the sound of her blood rushing through her body echoed in his ears.

Lex stilled his movements and looked at Chloe. He took in the tremors racking her body, and the tears staining her cheeks, before looking into her eyes and finding them filled with terror. Terror directed at him. She was terrified *of him*; his MATE was terrified of him. He wanted only to frighten her a bit; she needed to understand the disobedience wouldn’t go unpunished. He didn’t want her terrified, least of all terrified of him.

He dropped his hands, his claws retracting and sat on the edge of the bed. Chloe once again scrambled back against the headboard and curled up, her tear filled eyes watching him.

His feral side felt confused, unable to understand why his mate would be terrified of him. He wouldn’t hurt her intentionally; she must know that. He reached a hand out slowly to her and growled softly when she flinched and tried to move further away from him.

Lex stood up from the bed and paced back and forth. His rational half, sensing a break in his feral side’s control, grabbed onto that and spoke softly to his feral half. After a moment he turned to face Chloe again and moved towards her, ignoring the feeling in his chest at her increased fear. He sat on the edge of the bed, close to her and raised his hand, gently brushing her hair from her face.

A hint of confusion coloured her eyes and the tears slowed. Lex ran his fingers through her hair, he could still hear the rapid beating of her heart, but the tears had stopped and her body wasn’t trembling as much. He brought up his other hand and cringed as she flinched, “Chloe,” he whispered as he brushed the tears from her cheeks.

‘What’s going on now?’ she thought. Although his eyes were still amber, Chloe noticed they weren’t as wild as they had been. She was still scared, but there was something different about Lex’s demeanour, he seemed a little calmer. Lex felt a little better as he watched the terror subside. The fear was still there but now it was coupled with confusion.

“You made me so angry,” he said, keeping his voice low as he managed to bite back a growl. “You left and spent the day with…with Clark. You are MY mate Chloe.” He continued stroking her cheek.

Chloe kept her mouth shut, truth was she didn’t know what to say. And she was also afraid that anything could set him off again. She had no idea what had calmed him down and she didn’t want to do or say anything to change that.

Lex shifted slightly and cupped her face in his hands, “say something,” he said.

She opened and closed her mouth a couple of times before finally whispering, “I’m afraid of making you angry again.”

Lex closed his eyes for a moment and when he opened them Chloe noticed more of his normal colour was evident now. He leaned forward and nuzzled her cheek; she tensed briefly and then relaxed. He ran one hand down her neck to her chest and rested it over her heart, which was beating wildly under his hand. “You’re still frightened.”

Chloe nodded and bit her lip.

“I would never hurt you,” he said. ‘But I will not tolerate disobedience,’ he added silently. ‘But that’s a conversation for another time,’ his feral side said, ‘we will explain the rules to her. And she will still be punished but not now.’

“You do know that, right Chloe? You know that I would never hurt you,” he said again, when she hadn’t responded.

“I would like to think so,” she replied carefully, “but…Lex, you really scared me. I had no idea what you were going to do. I still don’t.” She wanted to ask about Clark and the blood but decided that wouldn’t be a good idea at the moment.

He moved again and wrapped his arms around her, stroking her back gently. The touch was comforting, not sexual and Chloe took a shuddering breath and felt herself relax a little more.

“Sleep now,” he said, “we will talk in the morning.” He manoeuvred himself against the headboard and pulled Chloe gently against him before continuing to stroke her back.

He heard her heart slow down to normal and smiled to himself. ‘Things will be better after we’ve talked,’ he thought. ‘When she knows the rules, we can avoid all this and concentrate on more important things.’ His feral side nodded in agreement and Lex closed his eyes.

‘I need to increase my efforts in finding a cure,’ thought Chloe, ‘I care about him, a lot, but I am not continuing on like this. I’m just not sure how he’s going to handle an ultimatum.’ She sighed deeply and decided to worry about things in the morning.

[dsapiro]

Thanks for not making it a cliffhanger, but don't think that gets you out of having to update soon. And Lex is so scary when he grows claws and all. I hope she can figure out how to fix him.

[Gemini]

*thud*

That was the sound of me falling out of my chair- but don't worry, I'm okay now. First of all... that was so intense! It's really hard to write stuff like that, but you did such an amazing job of it :yay: I really really can't wait for more.

[crazygirl]

I'm glad Lex didn't do anything stupid. Well, too stupid anyway. This was a truly great chapter and I can't wait for you to update. So, *hurry*. :biggrin:

[drina]

Wow...Lex is very scary...hmmm are his claws like wolverine's kind?

I would be scared too in this kinda situation. Glad to see that Lex's rational side help calm down the beast...otherwise the consequences might have been unimaginable.

[lunaluthor]

and another update thank god without the terrifying actions of Lex although he still doesn't understands that enforcing rules brings him nowhere with Chloe

but again very intense Chapter :worship2:

[xadie]

Thank god that Lex's rational side is still around! That was a great chapter, but I hope Chloe finds a cure soon.

[bluemoongirl23]

Damn! I don't think that Chloe is going to go along with Lex's rules and Lex is so not going to like her researching what's going on with him. *sigh* Glad to see that rationallex was able to come back just in time.

Blue

[Elviriel]

I found animal Lex sexy but now ... I find him scary. wake up lexy wolfy, chloe isn't your property ! I hope Chloe finds a cure, and that Lex remembers then. He will apologise, and sure he'll find a way to make it up to her :wub:
Anyway I love that story ! :worship2:
