I think I was present when this was being rolled out as a snippet in the chatbox, because I realized that I knew this new story that has been posted. I even remember discussing it while it was being unfolded. I think it’s wonderful that you decided to post it up, Kitten :D
ROTFLMAO! I loved the way that Lex was established, from the beginning, to be a complete sucker for Chloe when she’s in pain of any kind. Look at him LEAP to her attention because of a small thumb-tack pin-prick on her finger! ROTFLMAO! He went so far as to wipe away the miniscule amount of blood and ‘kiss it better’. And he did that three times, even though it was obvious from the beginning that she was doing it just for the attention.
LOL! What a doormat sucker! I love it!
I don’t think I want to know about Lex’s panicked reaction when Chloe slapped herself with a metal ruler. He might have needed a paper bag to breathe into if she bruised.
Quote:
"You said you didn't like the ruler slapping," Chloe replied. "And it was a metal ruler which was not ideal. And I get off on spellchecking but not the right way, so I start ignoring you and revising things. You don't like it when I crawl to you, because you like it more than you feel you should. So I'm left with this or stirring your coffee with my boobs. And it's too late for coffee."
ROTFL! My favourite couple of lines in the fic!! I especially enjoyed Chloe telling Lex that he feels guilty about getting off on feeling powerful over her, and yet he leaps to her side to cuddle, coddle and coo when she whispers ‘owie’.
Quote:
Lex looked up at the air conditioner and then at his girlfriend. She wasn't overly short, but they were going to have to stand on the sofa. And if they were standing when they had sex, there was always the chance of falling when they climaxed. The freaky had a price and he didn't know if the end of the workday was the best time to test his falling reflexes.
Chloe Sullivan, you're a hard woman to love, he thought.
ROTFLMAO! He means that quite literally. Do I want to know about the accidental injuries that have resulted from their other ‘freaky’ sessions? Hopefully Lex was able to always cushion Chloe’s falls with his own body.
Quote:
He took off his shirt and opened his belt. "What kind of professional image is it to be sitting in my office with my pants hanging on the door?!"
ROTFLMAO! I love the way that this fic combines the freaky, the sexy and the comedy all seamlessly together into a hot whole. Yummy!
I did flinch a little bit when it seemed like she crossed a line with the Lionel remark. Fortunately, Lex decided to take that with a sense of perspective, and a good sense of humour… because the only ‘punishment’ she got from that bit of sauciness was the promise of multiple orgasms.
erm… yeah, Lex. That’s really showing her! She’s sure to never do such a thing again! *rolls eyes* And it still doesn’t make it a punishment if you say that
‘no cuddles’ makes it a punishment, LOL!
It also didn’t make Lex’s position as a scary authority figure any more believable when you could see him relishing the idea of Chloe ‘sexually plotting’ against him, LOL!
However, the mood changed when Lex asked Chloe for a serious list of her offences, rather than ‘made-up’ transgressions. I don’t know how Chloe was able to tell that Lex was asking for a serious list, but that’s part of the magic of the Chlex, isn’t it? Their ability to read each other in an uncanny manners that leaves everyone shivering.
I appreciated Chloe’s explanations about Clark and Jimmy, for a variety of reasons. First of all, it gave the readers a look into her psyche, and see how her past love life has shaped her as a person. AND it also helped give a shape and context into her current relationship with Lex… showing how the relationship was stronger, stable and more powerful because Chloe now knows the difference between a healthy and unhealthy relationship… and can accurately judge that this affair with Lex is a GREAT thing.
She also started talking (seriously this time) about Lionel, and it was awesome! She dug deep and confessed everything in a manner that was actually cathartic and therapeutic. I highly approved… especially in the way that Lex would ‘punish’ her for her mistakes with a couple of spanking (spanking… mmmm!) and then follow up with a statement to show that she was ‘forgiven’.
Actually, not only that she was forgiven, but that the mistakes were a learning experience that were necessary for growth.
Quote:
Some men held on and some men let go. Bruce wanted her to have her and he didn't want it to be over until he didn't care anymore. Lex let go. He cared enough to recognize a losing battle and end it before there was no one left standing. Bruce just dropped her like garbage.
The confession about Bruce Wayne came as a surprise (at least it did in the chatroom), but I loved this addition to Chloe’s list of ‘mistakes’. Bruce Wayne actually represented serious competition for Lex, and hence he was needed on the list to show that Chloe tried to go out with another sexy, suave, sophisticated billionaire who has his own darkness to battle… but that it didn’t work out.
It was also awesome to discover that Lex willingly ‘allowed’ Chloe to go out with and for Bruce without freaking out and kidnapping her away. Somehow, Lex knew that Chloe would come back to him, so he felt ‘semi’-secure in letting her get a taste of Bruce before coming back to her Metropolis billionaire heir.
Quote:
She shook her head. “He was scary . . . rough, too intense. I'm sure he would have stopped but I would have been too afraid to ask. I didn't talk to him after that.”
Damn, I would have LOVD some more detail on this!!!!
Quote:
Chloe shook her head. She wanted to say the things in her mind now that it felt safe to do so. “I didn't see you for so long, then we connected and all I did was freak out. I didn't want you to use me and I was trying to be normal – average. So when you offered me lots of wonderful things I ran because they were all above average. I didn't think I deserved them and I hurt you. Even after I came back I had doubts and days where it seemed like too much,” she confessed.
“Every big fight we had, I would go to the bedroom and start packing as I promised myself I was leaving. I would find the sweater you said was your favourite on me and get a little less angry, then I'd sit down and smell your pillow. It would take too long to get all my stuff. I would run around desperately but I'd end up tripping over an armful of clothes and crying because I wanted to stay and had to make it up to you.”
I’ve read a LOT of fics that show Lex as the bigger screw up in the Chlex relationship. Fics which make it clear that Chloe is the ‘sane one’ who mostly holds the relationship together through Lex’s self-destructive, self-loathing periods. So it was really awesome and interesting to read a fic where Chloe was the one who needed ‘holding together’, because she was as much (of not more) of a neurotic mess as compared to Lex.
It might be freaky, demented, neurotic and slightly scary… but it works, and it’s beautiful because of that! You’ve created one heck of a relationship, Kitten. Damn, I’d like to know how this Chlex couple gets along with all the other Chlex couples living with you.
Quote:
Lex found it difficult to be harsh, but he took his hand from her face and spanked her twice. “I hope you don't have any plans to leave me, because I'll lock you up to keep you,” he stated cockily.
She giggled. “I never want to leave.”
She forgot herself and stepped around the chair to sit in his lap, and Lex wrapped his arms around her. “Good. It would be messy killing all the private investigators and police who came to find you. I might have to shoot an FBI agent or two. I'd do it gladly, but it's better if I don't have to leave a trail of corpses,” he qualified.
ROTFLMAO! He is SO not lying!!!! Complete honest to goodness, accurate truth here! Is it a promise or a warning? Skauble gets me through and through :D
Quote:
She was smiling broadly as his hand delivered two loud but painless slaps. “And gassy,” she suggested, arching her back and practically wagging her ass at him.
aaaargh! I think I need to scrub out my brain with bleach to get that image out of my head, thank you, Kitten!
Quote:
“So, you don't have to play games just to tell me things, or flirt your way through dinner, unless you feel like flirting,” Lex continued. “The best thing about you has nothing to do with sex or the anticipation of being inside you.”
The mood in the fic changed for a second time. It’s still serious, but now it’s sweetly romantic. I’m still thrilled and amazed at the way that Lex can read Chloe so accurately and give her whatever she needs from him… whether it’s therapeutic freakiness, OR whether it’s wonderful, sweet reassurances of his love for her. I especially liked the fact that Lex made it a point to tell Chloe that he’s just as happy just to enjoy her silent presence and/or her witty company, as he is to sink into her body. It seems like that was exactly what she needed to hear, and I was delighted that Lex was able to sense that, and give it to her.
Quote:
“I know you can do anything you want . . . if you really want it. I can find employees to do things for me. I spent years trying to find people who could be a part of my personal life. There are never too few people to tend my money or the trappings of what Lex Luthor's life has to be. You're one of the few who co-exists with me in it.”
“Happy to be relatively useless, I guess,” she quipped. Her eyes slid shut as Lex gathered her closer and slid to the front of the chair. “I know you're not using me. I'm not using you, either.”
heeee sweet reassurances closed off! And I liked how Chloe added in a reassurance of her own. Even though this Lex doesn’t seem as neurotic as most other Lexes, I’m sure he still needs Chloe to tell him that she likes his company too… and that he doesn’t have to threaten her into staying with him ;)
Quote:
“You've been wet since you walked in,” he breathed.
“You've been hard at least twice as long,” Chloe argued. “Your cock knows my class schedule. It waits up for me.”
LOL! Considering what a doormat Lex has revealed himself to be in this ficlet, I don’t doubt that at all.
Quote:
The confines of the sofa didn't even slow them down, as Lex nuzzled into her chest and thrust gently inside. Smooth heat encompassed him and Chloe's knees folded in a relaxed curl. Walled up in her presence at it's most fundamental level, he kissed her deeply. She moaned into his mouth, plying him with sweet little nips.
Chloe's calm was undisturbed as Lex began thrusting steadily. He shifted his head in the other direction and she chased after his mouth. They weren't quite naked, but he had to be freezing, and his ass was something she neede preserved. Latching one hand over the side of the cushion, she rolled up to him and tried not to clamp down punishingly hard. If she came so soon he'd mock her all day. On the other hand, she'd been softened up by all the spanking, and he was mostly untouched.
He could only breathe by timing it to her clenching pussy, not even fighting to get air through the squeezes. They'd been joined perhaps a minute, and Lex was easily ready to come. He pulled his mouth away and buried his face on her neck. Tension was climbing up his back, making his spine creak and complain as he propped himself away from her flesh. He couldn't even look at her and he knew how pretty she looked.
I couldn’t find any place to cut the quote box. It was all sooooo good!!! In fact, I’m beyond coherent sentences at this moment. Sizzle! Melt! Swoon! oooooh! HOTTT!!!!
Quote:
Her voice strained as Chloe arched and squealed. She sent them toward the edge of the sofa. Lex kicked out and caught them.
“Heh, hah! Good catch,” she laughed.
“Should have landed on you,” Lex sneered, mostly ineffectually, as he cradled her head in his palm.
ROTFLMAO! hah!! I knew it! I knew that Lex has had experience softening Chloe’s falls in a variety of ways. At least this time he didn’t have to sustain bruises to cushion her body-slam to the marble floor, LOL!
Quote:
Chloe felt herself sliding and found just enough energy to roll toward it, getting her foot down with Lex's. She winced as his body shook and nearly fell, but his arm pinned behind her head weighted him. Lex let his knee bend and his cock slid out at a lopsided angle. She gritted her teeth and tried to recall it for another time.
*happy sigh* Even the sticky, ‘lopsisded’, limp after-sex moments are hot. Love it! I’ve seriously missed your smut writing, Kitten!!!!!!!
Quote:
“Oh, fuck,” she sighed happily.
“Agreed,” Lex growled. “How's your ass?”
Her hand grazed his hip and cupped firmly as his deluded body tried to go for round two. “Excellent, thank you.”
squeee! Sequel?!
Great ficlet, Kitten. Thanks for posting!
