A Josi take on what should've happened in Fragile
~~//~~
“Chloe…”
Chloe turned, eyes untrusting and skeptical on Lex as he smirked at her, his puffed-up demeanor causing her to shake with aggravation. She had an incredible urge to launch herself at him, to fist her hand and connect forcefully with his patrician nose.
But she managed to suppress the urge. Looked at him blandly, her eyes bright, her mind and body ready for battle.
“I think I'm getting an inkling why you've never had a boyfriend.” Lex said smoothly, smirking at her as he bent over the pool table dismissively.
Chloe raised a sardonic brow at him, curling her lip in annoyance as she stared at his gloating back. She knew what he was doing, knew he was trying to goad her into a giving more than she got. And she reacted in kind, straightening her spine, her head raised to peer at him haughtily.
“Is that right?’ she asked as she slowly stalked towards him, her voice a quiet hum of indifferent curiosity. “Getting a little juvenile with the comebacks, aren’t we, Lex?”
Lex straightened, his jaw tightening reflexively at her taunting words. “Juvenile or not, that’s the impression I get from your current actions.” He replied.
Chloe snorted, “And I think you assume too much from far too little.”
Lex raised his brows at her doubtfully. “Really? By all means, Chloe, explain your lack of opposite sex action, then.”
Chloe glared at him, irritation boiling up inside her at his condescending manner. “I don’t owe you any form of explanation.” Chloe bit out angrily. “And since I don’t really give a fuck what you think about me, I’m not feeling inclined to humor you.”
“I beg to differ, Chloe,” Lex responded. “The fact you’re still standing here clearly implies you care about what I think about you.”
“No,” Chloe replied dryly. “I quit worrying about your opinion a long time ago. Right about the time you conveniently forgot I existed which immediately followed my saving your ass from your dear old dad.”
“That’s not true, Chloe,” Lex said defensively. “I never ditched you, we just grew apart.”
“And that is utter bullshit, and you know it.” Chloe replied angrily. “But it’s kind of funny how that works – you always forgetting the person who saved your life, just to focus on the one who continuously tries to take it from you.
“Chloe, I –”
Chloe shook her head, “Save it for someone who cares, Lex because frankly, I don’t give a damn anymore.”
“Anymore…” Lex breathed thoughtfully, his eyes searching her face briefly before skimming down her body.
Chloe smirked, rolling her eyes as his gaze stopped on her breasts. She’d always known that deep down the predator was naught more than a man, but this kind of proof seemed almost ridiculous to her. “Tell you what, Lex,” Chloe said calmly. “I’ll answer your question if you’ll answer one for me.”
Lex scowled at her, “What makes you think I care enough about your response to barter?”
Chloe smiled at him, snickering in amusement at his obvious discomfort. “The fact you haven’t simply dismissed me and moved on implies a need for an answer.”
Lex eyed her dubiously. “Now you’re giving yourself more credit than you’ve ever earned.” Lex replied arrogantly, sighing resignedly before continuing. “But if it’ll make you feel better, you have a deal. Ask away.”
Chloe refrained from commenting immediately, instead stepping in front of him and tilting her head questioningly. Then said mockingly, “Did Lana personally remove your balls? Or did you offer them up to her on a silver platter?”
Lex made an exasperated sound in the back of his throat, immediately covering the indignant sound with a small cough. “I can assure you my balls are exactly where they belong.” Lex replied heatedly.
“Yeah…” Chloe quipped smoothly. “In Lana’s mouth, maybe.”
Lex glared at her coldly, his hands coming up and grasping her by her upper arms. “Chloe, you’re treading on very dangerous ground.”
”And you need to come up with some new and improved lines, Lex because I’ve already heard more of that one than I care to remember.”
Lex’s hands tightened painfully on her arms, his eyes burning hotly into hers. He brushed his pelvis against her abdomen, pushing the bulge in his pants against her soft curves. “What kind of game are you playing?” he asked roughly.
Chloe stifled a gasp at the flare of desire in his gaze, her body responding instinctively to the closeness of his hardening body. She was momentarily stunned by the sudden shift in mood, the hard ridge of his cock creating an answering pulse in her core, and she briefly considered kneeing him where it would hurt most.
Then reconsidered.
Decided to use Lex’s sexual appetites as a weapon against him and instead stepped forward, leaning into his heat. She shook his hands from her arms, pushing herself against him, forcing him backwards until he was leaning heavily on the pool table.
Lex ‘s eyes widened, his hands falling behind him to keep himself upright, his chest heaving slightly as she licked her lips hungrily. He looked torn – ravenous hunger evident on his face, the urge to run evident in the hard lines of his body.
Chloe licked her lips again, lowering her lashes and reaching a hand out to stroke over his scalp. She ran her fingertips along curve of his skull, leaning into him further as his eyes drifted shut. She leaned over him, expelling her breath against his ear with each word she spoke. “You want to know why you’ve never heard of my having any kind serious relationship?” she asked throatily. “Do you really want to know?”
Lex’s hands tightened on the edge of the table, his knuckles whitening with strain. He turned his head towards her voice, his lips brushing the delicate skin of her neck as he replied, “Yes.”
Chloe laughed breathlessly, taking his earlobe between her teeth and nipping hungrily at his sensitive flesh, her hands placed firmly on the table as leverage to keep him in place. She nuzzled him briefly, teasingly, reveling in the sharp intake of breath the action earned her, relishing in the continued hardening of his body beneath her.
Chloe felt a rush of wetness between her legs, the thrill of Lex’s reaction to her setting off a tornado of feelings inside her. She adjusted her stance, stroking a hand up his clothed leg to fondle the obvious bulge in his pants. “Because,” she breathed thickly, her fingers brushing over his straining erection teasingly. “None of the boys in Smallville could ever properly…satisfy…me.”
She punctuated her statement by giving his hard cock a firm squeeze, the tingling in her breasts and pussy coalescing into a definitive throb as he hissed erotically. She squeezed again, biting the soft skin below his ear as he bucked up into her hand. “What do you think…Lex? Do you think you could satisfy me?”
