Chapter 1
~~~~~~~~~
I woke up alarmed
I didn't know where I was at first
Just that I woke up in your arms
And almost immediately I felt sorry
'Cause I didn't think this would happen again
No matter what I could do or say
Just that I didn't think this would happen again
With or without my best intentions
Lana ran her hand down the side of Chloe’s naked side as the two lay in bed after several hours of rabid lovemaking. She stroked her lover’s small waist, her fingers delicately caressing the soft, pink skin. Laying her head down as she continued to touch her lover, Lana smiled in sated glee.
Chloe, on the other hand, was wide awake and wondering what the hell she’d been thinking in getting involved with Lana. For the past two weeks, they’d been sleeping together and it had all begun with simple vulnerability. Jason had walked out on Lana at about the same time Chloe had discovered the truth about her mother. While talking one late night at the Talon, Lana had melted into her arms and the two friends consoled each other as lovers.
But the situation was getting out of control. Lana wanted to be with her all of the time and when they weren’t together, she wanted Chloe within easy reach. Even though they had agreed to a no strings, physical relationship only, Chloe instinctively knew that Lana was incapable of such a thing, but still she kept the lie going.
With Lana there are always strings, she thought to herself as she sat up in her bed. Lana hugged her from behind and kissed her shoulder.
“Do you have to go?” Lana sing-songed.
“Work calls,” Chloe said, grabbing her clothes and putting them on as fast as she could.
“Stay a bit longer,” she said, running her hand over Chloe’s breast.
“I can’t, Lana,” she said, throwing her shirt over her head and reaching for her jacket. She stood in front of the mirror and scrunched her hair as best she could, applying a small coat of lip gloss as she smacked her lips.
“Will I see you later?” Lana asked.
“Lana, remember what we agreed.”
“I know, I know….no ties. But I want to see you again soon and you never call.”
“I’ll call,” Chloe assured her, pecking her on the lips as she prepared to leave.
“Good,” Lana said as Chloe walked out of the bedroom.

As she prepared to make a quick exit, she saw Lex stepping out of his parked car. Dressed casually but with his natural sharpness, she noted his Armani outfit with admiration.
The man could wear a towel rag and make it look like couture.
“Chloe? What are you doing here so early?”
“I do live in this town, Lex,” she said.
“Did you sleep over at Lana’s again.
She couldn’t keep the smile off her face and had to stop herself from laughing as she replied, “Yeah, that’s it…..a sleepover.”
Lex wasn’t buying it, but he said nothing. “And where are you headed now?”
“This week’s Torch goes to print tonight and I still have some red marks to pick up,” she said, “so I’m sorry to be abrupt, but I need to get going.”
“Can I drive you?”
She walked right up to him and brought the volume of her voice to a husky slur, “Tempting, but I think I’d rather drive myself.”
He was immobile as he became aware of her sexual insinuation. Something was very different about Chloe lately, but he had not been able to pinpoint it. Watching the amusement in her eyes, Lex smiled at her but said nothing. The scent of her light perfume ignited his senses.
Samsara by Guerlain, supposedly the scent of passion.
“Well, I won’t keep you,” he said, as she inched by him, brushing his arm with her shoulder.
Turning her head as she walked away, she mouthed ‘bye’ as she waved coquettishly, sashaying her way to her red car. She hoped he was still watching her and to confirm it, she took her keys out of her pocket and looked over at him as she unlocked her car.
And he’s still watching. Curious, Lex? So am I.
Lex’s eyes were locked on the rapidly dimming picture of Chloe driving away in her car. She was deliberately baiting him, but what was far more disturbing to him was that it was having an effect on him. His curiosity was piqued as he wondered if he dared push her to see how far she was willing to go.
It’s probably another teenage test of will, he thought to himself, but I'll show her a valuable lesson.
He opened up the Talon and deposited the papers he’d come to leave. Chloe was still on his mind and before ringing Lana, he walked out of the Talon and made his way to Smallville High.

After parking his car, Lex reached for his phone when he saw two figures in the distance, heading towards the field entrance for the gym. He recognized Chloe, but had no idea who the other person was. Walking out of the car, he followed them into the gymnasium.
Lex was a few steps behind them, when he saw Chloe grab her male companion by the hair and pull him down for a kiss. He was speechless when he saw what she did next. As she continued to french kiss this pseudo-grunge wannabe, he saw her hand going into the guy’s pants.
“God, Chloe, anybody could see us.”
“So what?” she replied, as Lex felt his blood pressure skyrocket, “Isn’t that part of the turn-on. It turns me on.”
Lex watched in furious arousal as the unnamed bastard began undoing Chloe’s pants and pulling them down to her ankles.
She’s a natural blonde, Lex noted, with a raised eyebrow.
Turning over and bending over a chair, Chloe’s man toy proceeded to ram himself into her body as Lex listened to the sounds of her excited growl. Grabbing her breasts from behind, it took the guy only a few rather unimpressive thrusts before he expired. Chloe’s face registered her dissatisfaction.
“Chloe, I-“
“Don’t worry about it, Craig,” she said angrily, “I don’t review bad performances. Just go.”
He left as he’d been commanded, fixing himself up as Lex ducked to the side of the entryway. Chloe adjusted her shirt and did up her pants, angrily stomping towards the entryway now serving as Lex’s hideaway. As she walked through, she turned her head and looked straight at him. He stared at her intently as they stood, eyes locked, with neither one wanting to be the first to talk.
Chloe couldn’t help but laughing as eyes looked him over from head to foot. Lex was curious about what that carnal expression on her face could be taken to mean.
Are you wondering if I’m better than that pathetic loser? Don’t bother asking. The question’s moot.
He continued to watch as his silence amused her. Finally, she shook her head and nodded her head at him, “Did you enjoy that?”
“Not particularly and neither did you by the looks of it.”
“He’s had better days,” she laughed, “and I’ve had better lays. It happens.”
“So this is the kind of activity you’re interested in now?”
She walked right up to him and whispered, “You have no idea what activities I’m into, Lex, so don’t judge me too harshly yet.”
“Fascinating. I didn’t know bad sex needed defending.”
Chloe laughed as she walked back into the school. “Well, I hope you were adequately entertained, but I do have to get to work. Try to wait this time until I’m sufficiently at a distance before checking out my ass.”
“I wasn’t doing that before," he said, realizing his verbal mistake too late.
She brought her face near to his and quickly pulled away. “Right.” Sassily, she walked away and towards the Torch offices.
His eyes followed the contours of her body as his lips broke out into a crooked smile. “Right,” he said to himself.
