Oh excellent chapter! I loved the cinema sex!!!very hottt!!!! The juxtaposition of their erotic actions with the movie and everything that was going on in the cinema was really well done! I'm glad that Chloe's making Lex prove himself to her! He needs to learn to treat her as more than just his sexy plaything! (though I wouldn't mind playing that role :eyebrows: )
Great Chapter. Chloe is, but I would do the same thing if I were her. The poor girl was exhausted and hadn't been home in a week. I'm glad she forgave him. Looking forward to seeing Lex' trials for the day.
Best of luck with 2nd semester... may it be your best one yet in all respects.
great that Chloe wants some quality time with Lex but the smut you wrote its AWESOME!!!
keep your great work :worship2:
:chlexsign3:
Okay I really couldn't think of another way to end this... it's kind of abrupt, I know but.... I just don't know how to go about this anymore! Anyway... that's it... I might extend it sometime later but... yeah... I'm not too sure... I'm kind of... uninspired right now. Haha... World Lit. Paper and stuff to think of right now.... anyway, on with the story!
****************
They had been sitting in her living room for a full two hours – most of which was spent watching incessant soap operas on the television. As it were, Chloe looked like she was at her lowest point where her brain seemed to cease functioning as she stared almost listlessly at the screen before her. Lex hadn’t thought her a ‘soap’ fan at all and watched her as she watched the TV, her mouth hanging slightly open and her body limp on the couch. It was an interesting to see the slight frowns, brightening of her eyes, and twitches in of her lips – little reactions that told him that she was still aware of what was happening. After a while of flitting his eyes back and forth from the monitor to her body, sprawled over the seat, he shifted in the chair he was in and let out a little sigh. There was a commercial on. It as about some bleach product.
“I’m hungry,” Chloe suddenly said.
The abrupt reaction from her made his insides jump and he quickly turned to her examining how she was suddenly alert. He cocked his head to the side. “I was wondering when you’d get out of your stupor,” he commented lightly.
“Watching soaps is a great way to clear your mind. It’s so mindless that you sort of lose focus and stop thinking.” She narrowed her eyes on him after a brief stretch of her limbs. “You didn’t actually think that I would watch them because I loved the romantic neverending plots did you?”
“I think I’m entitled to that opinion,” he said, quirking his lips. “I was quite surprised when you opened the television and put it on this channel. Just think of what the headlines will be when they find out about this – ‘Chloe Sullivan, successful and witty businesswoman, loves soaps.’”
She rolled her eyes. “Please, Lex, you should know me better than that. Haven’t the years of constant bantering and verbal judo proved that to you? I never once brought up some stupid comment with a ‘Days of Our Lives’ or ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ line in it.”
“And yet you still remember what they’re called,” he pointed out with a smirk growing on his lips.
“That’s the only time I’m actually conscious of what’s happening on screen, you shmuck. After the title I’m gone.”
“Sure, Chloe,” Lex chuckled, getting up. “It’s funny how you get all defensive about it. Usually that’s what people do when they’re guilty as charged.”
He headed towards the kitchen at that point, missing the childish pout that she had on her face. Chloe followed him, wanting to defend herself, but she knew that he would make fun of her. Even though she liked their verbal exchanges, this wasn’t a subject she wanted to discuss any further. So she merely stood away from him as he strolled towards the refrigerator and surveyed the contents.
“Eat much at home?” he asked dryly as he stepped aside and allowed her to see the empty fridge – save for an old package of Gouda cheese.
She shrugged. “So I cleaned it out before I left for Smallville. It’s not like I had time to go shopping recently.” The recollection of what happened yesterday caused her to blush and she looked away from him.
Even though it was just a mere statement, it still got his blood pumping again. Damn it. Needing to take his mind out of the gutter, he turned away to look at the moldy cheese then let out a mocking sigh. “Considering my lady is in need of sustenance, I believe that I must, as a refined gentleman, escort her to a place with a great array of culinary delights.” Shutting the fridge, he gave her a little smirk.
Chloe let out a snort. “You know, you’re taking this thing a bit far by talking like that.”
“Ah, but a gentleman is always proper with his speech as well as his actions. And as you so requested that I must act in a gentleman-like manner, so shall you get the man in entirety.” Walking past her he paused at the door and gestured with his hands for her to go first. “My lady,” he said in a fake British accent.
“You’re bordering on butler right now, Luthor,” she muttered. “And I didn’t ask for you to be one.” She still went out of the kitchen first and headed towards her bedroom. She half-expected him to follow her and was actually feeling quite disappointed when he didn’t. She was starting to regret punishing him because in the process, she was also missing out on what she enjoyed doing as well. Letting out an exasperated breath she rummaged through her closet in search of something she felt like wearing.
As she was changing, Lex rubbed his eyes tiredly. Just watching her retreating backside had him stirring again. This was going to be a difficult task, but if it meant capturing Chloe’s heart – he cut himself off then. What the hell was he talking about? He could feel a frown settle upon his brow as he walked towards the living room. What was it that he wanted from this relationship? What did he mean from all of this? Why was he taking so much of his energies to be a good man to her? Certainly there was something intriguing about her that drew him to her, but did he actually want to keep her for himself?
This might just be a phase. Soon you’ll see that you’re going in different directions in life and you’ll part. You’ll find someone and then she’ll find who she would want to marry… But the thought was met with a sudden twist of his stomach. The mere idea of seeing her happily wedded to a man other than himself was appalling… and unheard of. And at that moment, his eyes widened, the realization coming as swiftly as a bullet through the head. He could not help but say it out loud. “God… I love her,” he let out in a hoarse voice.
“What?”
He turned swiftly and felt his heart lodge in his throat. She heard him. Oh, she heard him! How could he allow such a thing to slip from his mouth at such an unconscious moment? He could not take his words back. His heart was on his sleeve – and this was not a ‘Iago’ moment where he was lying about it. This was the downright truth. He blinked standing stiffly in his place. Her look was intense and burning against him. Were her eyes shining? Or was he just imagining things?
“Lex,” she called slowly; quietly. “What did you say?”
He pursed his lips. “Nothing; I was just muttering to myself. I get lapses when I begin to talk to myself. Come now, you are hungry. Let us go before the entire restaurant is booked.” He made his way past her to get to the main door of the apartment.
Chloe felt her breath come out unevenly. She knew what she heard. There was no other possible thing that would cause him to tense up as he did; leave him in such a vulnerable position. Perhaps she didn’t want to hear it… maybe she did. She wasn’t sure. She knew, however, that her heart fluttered when she heard him speak in such a raw voice. Feeling all the more confused at that moment, she heard Lex call her and she went to him – with him to dine.
~~ o0o ~~
It was a tense lunch, but they got by. There were a few attempts for light-hearted conversation, but it died quickly, the heavy subject just earlier touched upon hanging over their heads. She was playing with her tiramisu as he sat across from her, his face stony. The clatter of her fork on the plate had his eyes involuntarily shooting up to her. There was a determined look on her face – though with an edge of fear in it as well.
“I want to hear what you said a while ago,” she demanded.
He drew back and leaned on the chair. “Well, I asked ‘how does the food taste’ and then –” he started in a lazy drawl and a small smirk on his face.
“That’s not what I meant and you know it. I’m serious, Lex. I want you to be upfront with me and tell me what you said.”
He looked at her, the upturn of his lips falling away. His eyes were heavily guarded as he looked at her. “Now isn’t the time, Chloe. I –” his voice faltered and he pursed his lips, starting again. “I can’t tell you. Not now. I’m not sure of myself and it scares me to even tell you this much.”
She allowed her gaze to fall back onto her disturbed plate. Closing her eyes she shook her head and smiled then allowed herself to glance back at him. “I’m sorry. I guess I kind of got carried away with everything. I mean, it’s only been a week since we were reacquainted! How can I even think –” she stopped and rephrased her sentence “– We still have a lot of things to discover about each other.”
He nodded, giving her a false smile. He felt so confined at that moment, yet the clothes he was wearing were his favorite ones – loose yet refined and comfortable. He knew that the reason behind his discomfort was because he saw her then as a different person – not as a friend to be at ease with, but someone who he could potentially marry in the future. He couldn’t do this with such an idea clouding his thoughts. He wanted to see who she was inside. He needed to see it so that he knew he wasn’t fooling himself as he had before. So play the gentleman he did. One last time, he put a reign on his unease and cocked his bald head to the side and looked at her as objectively as he had before he had his moment of catharsis.
“So,” he began. “What is it you want to do today? Would you like to walk in the park a bit? Or maybe you want to go back to your place and…” he wriggled his eyebrows suggestively.
Chloe blinked and suddenly let out a stream of laughter. The tension between them seemed to slip past and they were in relatively the same position as they had been when they saw each other at the coffee shop. “That was just so stupid, Luthor. I mean really! The whole ‘maybe you want to back to your place and…’” She copied the motion of his eyebrows and laughed again. “It sounds like a line from a really bad movie!”
“I’m completely offended!” he gasped in mock outrage. “How dare you say such a thing, Ms. Sullivan! I am a Luthor; far more refined than you seem to perceive me to be! I was merely trying to avoid using such direct language as ‘let’s shag’ or ‘bump and grind’.”
Such phrases coming out of his mouth seemed to strengthen her laughter and he watched in awe as tears rolled down her eyes at the intensity of her mirth. He could feel the strong tug at his heart again, but this time he ignored it, not needing such a thing to have him go all serious and sappy to ruin the moment. Still, he couldn’t help but offhandedly think that she looked so beautiful like that. It sounded so common to say it, yet he could put it in no other way. He watched her as long as he could – until finally her laughter subsided and she was wiping her eyes with the napkin.
“Well, to finally answer your question, I think that the stroll in the park sounds like a plan.”
“Very well,” he conceded and called the waiter for the bill, who did as requested in an ample manner.
~~ o0o ~~
As it was, the stroll in the park proved to be quite wonderful. The conversation seemed to flow well; their surroundings seemed to draw the speech in them and they began to ask about simple things such as how adorable the dog that passed by was to why there was such a large line between the rich and poor in the developing countries. They disregarded the curious eyes that settled on them and politely declined the autograph signing. It was so pleasant and soothing. During that time, the had unconsciously held each other’s hands, bringing their bodies close to each other as they ambled and talked in the park. They lost all concept of time and merely chatted, sometimes lapsing into comfortable bouts of silence, but always, conversation came back.
When Lex finally had the wits to look at his watch, he was surprised that three whole hours had past. “Hey, Chloe, it’s already four.”
Her eyes widened. “You serious? I didn’t realize that we were out here for that long.”
There was a pause. “So what would you like to do now?” Lex asked.
Her brows knitted together in thought. As she did, Lex began to unconsciously rub his thumb over the back of her hand, waiting for her answer. It took her a while, but she began to feel distracted and finally settled her eyes on their intertwined fingers and the soothing motion of his thumb. He noticed where her gaze was followed it. When did that happen? It was funny that it never really occurred to him to do it, but now that he was conscious of it, he realized just how right it felt. Damn the clichés, he thought.
“Um, actually I think I should head home,” she finally answered.
Internally shaking himself, nodded to her and they headed towards the space they had left the car. The ride back to her apartment was quiet, but not awkwardly so. When they got to her place, he stepped out to escort her upstairs. She allowed this, though, when this happened that usually ended up being so that the man would end up in bed with her. When they were finally at her door, she turned somewhat nervously to him.
“Lex, I –” she started.
“Don’t worry, Chloe, I’m not coming in right now.” He saw her cast her partially disappointed eyes to the floor, then smiled a little. “That doesn’t mean that I’m not entitled to a kiss.”
This caused her to emit a little chuckle before his lips closed over hers. It was a tentative kiss, as if they had just finished their first date, a closed-mouth, meeting. Still, Chloe could not help but melt underneath the touch and she drew closer to him, twining her hands around his neck to draw him closer. He settled his hands lightly on her hips as their kiss deepened. He was sinking into her; drowning in her scent and her reaction. He needed to taste her and did so, opening his mouth and touching his tongue onto the crease of her lips. She opened up to him, needing the penetration. The throbbing began within her – that wonderful ache that she had only with him.
Lex knew he couldn’t go on doing this and finally drew back, settling his forehead on hers and breathing deeply to calm his needy body. “I’ve got to go now, Chloe.” He felt her shudder at his voice – which was husky and low. God, how he wanted to come in with her. But it wasn’t right for him to do so. They just got out of a fight about having a solely sexual relationship. To go into her apartment would only make matters worse. No, he really needed to go.
Pulling away from her, he graced her with a half smile. “I’ll see you.” Having said that, he turned away, leaving her standing there. As he disappeared around the corner towards the elevators, Chloe sighed and began to rummage through her bag to retrieve her keys. Once inside, she kicked off her shoes and trudged towards her bedroom. The place felt empty. She looked around the room, lost in thought.
Abruptly, she turned and ran back to the front door and unlocked it and threw it open. Just as she did, Lex strode purposefully towards her. She immediately stepped forward and jumped onto him, grabbing his face and slamming a fierce kiss on his lips. Instinctively, she wrapped her legs around his waist as he filled his hands with her bottom and pressed her firmly against him. He angled his head to kiss her more firmly, opening his mouth to hers, twining his tongue with hers.
Against her lips he whispered fervently, “I love you.”
He felt her smile against him. “I love you, too.” More confident that he had ever felt, brought them both into the recesses of her apartment where they proceeded to express themselves more thoroughly than words ever could.
