Chapters 7
Obsession (Lex POV past)
Lex was in bed still a sleep massage over his cock. He was dreaming yet another vivid dream of Chloe. This morning he was holding her in place while she straddled him on the floor outside her apartment letting her undress him.
She was grinding against his cock and Lex gripped down on her hips and pushed up into her movements over him. Just as he was coiling his hand around his cock in bed half a wake half a sleep Lois walked in the hallway in his dream screaming for them to stop.
It was a good dream that suddenly turned into a nightmare.
Lex jerked up out of bed and wiped the perception from his brow. He couldn’t take anymore of these dreams. Most morning they didn’t end in horror but he couldn’t wake up anymore hard and unsatisfied.
When he saw Chloe a month ago with her boyfriend he was determined to have her in his life again. For years he denied wanting Chloe to be apart of his life. He couldn’t explain what he wanted from her but he didn’t want her with Benjamin or with who he referred to as the boy.
Sending Chloe the flowers seemed to peak her interest as to what the hell he was doing at the Daily Planet to see her and it was enough to coax her into going to lunch with him that Thursday.
Now Thursday was the worst day of the week for him. The past month he tried to hide that he wanted more from Chloe. He was enjoying her company and couldn’t help staring at her or getting hard at the sight of her. After the third lunch she admitted that she like being friends with him and Lex was disappointed. It wasn’t what he was looking for.
The last time he saw Chloe was last Thursday. She wanted to make him lunch and somehow she end up on top of him. Lex let his emotions get the best of him and he kissed her.
She was enjoying it then pulled away from him. Lex would have tried to fight with her but he had to get his erection under control. There was no way he could talk to her with his cock throbbing in his pants.
Once he was in his office in his private bathroom stroking his cock to thoughts of Chloe on the floor kissing him he knew what he wanted from her. Lex wanted her be his. He wanted her to be more then his friend and have her in his bed.
Lex wasn’t just lusting after her. There was something else he wanted that he couldn’t define yet. If it was just lust then it would be easy. Lex could seduce and fuck Chloe until he was satisfied then forget about her again but that wasn’t all he wanted from her.
Most of his dreams end in him holding her after they had sex. If he couldn’t have sex with her Lex would have settled at this point to just hold her all night. The thought was unsettling to him but he wanted it.
Even though he hadn’t come to the realization he wanted her until he kissed or it was the first time he allowed himself to admit that he still put surveillance on her and her boyfriend. After he saw them holding hands and kissing across the street from the Japanese restaurant he had a PI following her taking pictures for him.
The pictures were is way of getting into her life. Seeing what was she was doing and how much she had changed in three years he hadn’t spoken to her since he was in Smallville. They were a window into the person Chloe was now.
The collection was comprised of pictures of her in class, at work, with friends; a few of her going home, but the majority of the pictures were of her with her boyfriend.
Every one of those pictures made him furious. He couldn’t understand why she was with him. He didn’t challenge her in any way and he didn’t believe he could make her happy or better yet make her anger the way he could.
Lex rolled out of bed at six and made his way to the shower. He let the warm water wash over his body while he jerked off. He jerked off to thoughts of Chloe on the floor kissing him.
Once he found his release he thought he could focus on getting ready for work but it was Thursday and all he could think about was missing lunch with Chloe.
The last few lunches he would call the day before to confirm a place to meet but this week he didn’t call. After he kissed her he wasn’t sure what to do now.
All she could think about was her damn boyfriend. Lex had her for a few seconds were he thought she was into the kiss but she pulled away from him. He didn’t know what to do now that he kissed her but he knew he wanted her.
Lex finished up in the bathroom and got dressed. He put on dark purple shirt, and a pair of black slacks along with Italian leather shoes. Once he was dressed he headed to his office in the penthouse to pick up yesterday’s surveillance photos of Chloe.
This weeks images he tried to ignore because he didn’t want to see her happy with that boy. Today was no different once he had the pictures in his hand he couldn’t bring himself to look at them and left them in his office then headed off to work.
***
Lex spent most on the morning on the phone in conference calls. It left him no room to think about Chloe until 12:30. It was the time he set aside the past month to meet her for lunch and he had nothing scheduled.
He had to eat seeing as how he skipped breakfast. He was going to pick up the phone to call his secretary but it rang first. “What is it Eva.” Lex said in to the receiver.
“Mr. Luthor a Miss Sullivan is here to see you. I told her you had a 12:30 appointment but she insists that the appointment is with her.”
Lex could hear Chloe yelling on the other end of the line. “I am the 12:30 appointment you moron.”
Lex tensed up in his seat and did the best he could not to be excited she come to see him. “Send her in” Lex hung up the phone and the automatic doors open to let her in.
Chloe walked in wearing another one of her trendy suits and today she was in dark red. She walked into the office and tugged her skirt in place then brushed over her suit jacket. Lex always saw her checking her clothes and didn’t know why she looked incredible.
She stood in front of his desk between the two arm chairs and Lex sat waiting for her to speak
“I have something to say.” She sounded nervous and she took a deep breath after she started.
“I assumed you did or you wouldn’t have stopped by.” He motioned to get up from his desk and she took several steps back.
“Just stay seated until I’m finish talking. It’s easier if… I mean I can… Never mind just stay at your desk.” Chloe stumbled over her words shaking her head at herself
“You can’t control your self if I get near you?” Lex smirked her at the idea of her losing control because they were close and it excited him.
She rolled her eyes. “No you arrogant ass…”
She stopped herself before she continued with her insult. “Look I didn’t come here to fight with you. Since you didn’t call yesterday I assumed that lunch was off because of the kissing fiasco.”
“You still won’t admit that it meant something?” Chloe was awkwardly trying to keep her gaze way from him so he got up to stand in front of his desk.
“There is something there and it’s called lust.” Chloe looked back in his direction gauging his reaction and took a few more steps back once she realized he was standing in front of her.
“You did say you were attracted to me.” Lex tried to stay calm and not grab her. She was looking at him now and it was the same concerned look she gave him before he kissed her.
“It doesn’t matter. I like my life right now. I like my friends, my work, my classes, and my boyfriend.” She put emphasis on the last word.
“I also like this friendship we are forming.” She looked like she wanted to hide after admitting that.
Lex tried to stand closer to her but she backed away again. “I like being friends too.” He took a few more steps to her and Chloe didn’t back away this time. He kept walking over to her until he was close enough to touch her.
Lex tried get his emotions in control but couldn’t. The damn suit hugging her hips was turning him on.
“What if we are lusting after each other? Can’t there be something else there matching that lust?” Lex couldn’t fight the urge anymore and reached out to touch her but she jerked away from him.
“No there isn’t something else there. I’m a realistic girl and you couldn’t have feelings like that for me. This happens when a man and a woman are friends. I have seen the way you look at me and its obvious on both our parts there are some uncontrolled sexual feelings. It doesn’t mean there is something else there. I want us to still be able to see each and not let this fake lust thing get in the way.” Chloe took a few deep breaths after her speech.
Lex did have feelings for her even though he didn’t know exactly what they were. He thought he was better at hiding is attraction to her but it was apparent now he wasn’t.
His obsession with her was so strong there was no way he would stop seeing her. By exploring the feelings he was having he could figure them out and release him from the obsession.
He was going to try and give her what she wanted and just be her friend. “I can control myself if you can.”
She rolled her eyes at him. “I can control myself Luthor. Your not God’s gift. So if we are agreed that we are going to be friends can we go to lunch I’m starving.”
“I better feed the tiger before it bites me.” Lex motioned to leave and she followed him.
“Very funny Luthor. I could say worse about you. We had to wait once for ten minutes and you almost bit the hostess head off you were so hungry.”
“Your one to talk…” They walked out still fighting and it was fueling Lex’s arousal.
***
They were eating Thai food and Chloe was asking about Lionel again. Lex felt uncomfortable talking about it but something about her made it easier to do.
His father was dying and he may never get what he wanted from him. No one could ever understand that and it was something he never wanted to share.
“So the second opinion was also a dead end.” Chloe took some of her pai thai noodles into her chop sticks and put the food into her mouth.
Lex was staring at her lips and it look like she was sliding the chop sticks out in slow motion teasing him. “Hello earth to Lex.”
Lex jerked in his chair and tried to remember what she said. “Yes the doctors from Switzerland didn’t say anything different but you know he didn’t take that as the final answer.”
“So he hasn’t humbled himself at all. He has cancer, he’s dying, and that hasn’t made him reevaluate his life at all?” She took another bit of her food and did the same chop stick motion. This time Lex looked away waving the waiter over for the check trying to ignore her seductive eating.
“I think you know better then that. My father is on his death bed and he is still the same person you knew.”
“So he’s still and asshole.” Chloe chocked back on her words after she said them. “Sorry that was insensitive he is your father and he’s dying I shouldn’t have said that.”
Lex was use to people insulting his father because was an ass hole. “You have every right to hate him. He is an asshole. Will be one until the day he dies.”
Lex put his hand on the table and she reached for it. “Yeah asshole or not he’s still your father.” She squeezed his hand and gave him a half smile trying to comfort him.
Lex didn’t like this she was making him think about his feelings for his father and he didn’t want to get into a deep conversation about it.
Luckily he was saved by the waiter. The waiter was in front of them and handed Lex the check. She took her hand from his and snatched it away from him.
“I’m sick of you paying all the time. Since making you lunch last week didn’t go as plan let me get this.” She put up her resolved face and Lex wasn’t going to fight with her.
***
They walked out to leave the restaurant and stood on the sidewalk. Lex was waiting for his hug and Chloe was checking her watch. It was rather late and Lex did need to get back to the office but he wanted his hug first.
He craved these things since the first one when she pressed her soft body into him. The first few seconds of the first hug he couldn’t believe what was happening but now they sent him into frenzy afterwards and often he took care of himself in his car once she was gone.
“I guess we ran a little late today.” She sighed and looked up at him.
“It’s alright.” Lex inched closer to her.
”Looks like its going to rain.” She looked up into the sky then back to him her eye brows lowered. “I know it must be hard for you to talk about your father but thank you for sharing with me.”
Lex couldn’t help but share with her. “It’s nice to tell someone.”
“Good I hope it helps. I have to get back to the Planet. I’ll see you next Thursday?” Chloe leaned in close to him and this was it he was getting his hug.
Lex didn’t think he could resist holding on to her once she was in his arms. He said he would just be friends but he couldn’t work out a plan to get more from her if she kept making advance like this.
He pulled her into him and spoke in her ear. “I want to see you more then just on Thursdays.” Chloe pulled back on him but Lex didn’t let her go.
“We just said that lust wouldn’t get in the way of our friendship.” Chloe tried pulling away but he tightened his grip.
He seduced women before but Chloe wasn’t most women. He relaxed his eyes on hers. “I think you know there is more to this then that. You can’t tell me you don’t feel something.”
He could feel her chest heaving in and out trying to get control of her breathing and her body was quivering a little. Lex leaned in close placing one of his hands at the nap of her neck.
“People are looking.” Chloe’s eyes looked left then right then back at Lex. She didn’t try to pull away from him like last time nor did she mention the boy.
He lowered his voice to a whisper. “I don’t care.” Then he pressed his lips into her. Just like last time she kissed him back. She opened her mouth slightly and Lex licked over her lips and teeth then moaned when his tongue made contact with hers.
Then it was over just as quickly as it started she was pulling away from him again. “No! This is just lust we are not doing this. You are not interested in me like that.” She started to leave a he grabbed her arm.
“What if I’m interested? Chloe what if there is something here that I want to pursue?” Lex tried to pull her to him again but she yanked away.
“It doesn’t matter I’m with someone.” She ran away this time.
Lex wanted to follow her but he spent too much time at lunch and had to work. There was nothing he could do about it he had to get work done. He still needed to formulate a plan so letting her go was the right thing for now.
He headed back to the office hard again and unsatisfied.
***
Lex tried to go through the rest of his day without thinking of her but she was still on his mind when he made it home. He was obsessed with Chloe and couldn’t stop his mind from wondering to her.
Once he got home he went straight for his office to get the surveillance photos. He had to see what she was doing that week. She didn’t pull away from initial and she barley mention the boy the entire lunch.
Lex brought the photos back to his study and poured himself a drink. Then he sat with them and spread them out on the coffee table. He looked at the images of the day after he kissed her on the floor and she looked fine. No signs of being shaken up by the kiss at all.
Then he went through the weeks shots which he thought would be filled with images of her with the boy but there were only a few. He studied them and she seemed to distance her self from him. On Saturday they were walking down a street and standing far apart from each other.
He took her home and there was long hug but no shots of her kissing him that day and she didn’t invite him in. Lex knew something was off there were pictures of her leading him in and him not leaving until the next day from her place.
Monday’s pictures were more of the same if she was alone she looked fine but with the boy she almost seemed like she was somewhere else.
This had to mean something she was thinking about the kiss or she was questioning being with him. Whatever it was Lex had to know, he had to understand.
Lex lined up the photos of her and him together. There were a several shots of her laughing at him, looking at him seductively, touching him, and hugging him when there lunch was over
He kept staring at the last hug the day before the first kiss and her hands were clasped together around his neck and her eyes were closed. It looked like she was savoring the hug.
He was staring at the expression on her face when he walked away and saw her watching him leave looking disappoint that he was gone. Just as he was going to the next picture his home phone rang.
He picked it up and it was the front desk. “Mr. Luthor a Miss Sullivan is asking to come up.”
Lex almost jumped out of his skin. “Send her up.” He hung up the phone and ran for the door. His mind started racing as to what he was going to say when she got to the door.
He heard her knocking and his heart stop. She was coming to him. Lex knew she felt something.
He opened the door and she was soaking wet. Her hair was plaster to her face and she changed since lunch. Her jeans were wet and her shirt and jacket looked the same.
“It did rain.” She looked down at her self and Lex moved out of the way to let her in. Chloe shook her hair and took off her jacket and Lex was just staring at her. Her shirt was wet and it put her nipples in full view for him.
“I don’t know what I’m doing here.” She walked in and Lex closed the door behind her. He still didn’t say anything he was still thinking of the right words no one ever put him at a lost for words like Chloe.
“I looked up your address and I just drove here. I sat in my car thinking what are you doing Chloe?” She looked at him and her eyes were lost on him penetrating through his body. “You said you could be interested?”
Chloe took a few steps closer to him her green eyes looked like they were pleading with him. “What if I’m interested too?”
That was it Lex grabbed her pulling her into him arms and captured her lips with his own. Chloe didn’t pull away this time. She placed her hands on his scalp stoking it while pressing her wet body into him. Lex was moaning in her mouth once she let him in.
She was making his clothes wet but he didn’t care. She wasn’t pulling away but pushing her self closer. Lex lowered his hands from her waist and grabbed both of her ass cheeks and pushed her into his forming erection.
Once Chloe felt his arousal she pulled away taking in deep breaths. “Wait. We need to talk. We need to think about this.”
Lex tried to push his arousal away but he could help it. He lunged at her again but she jerked back. “I’m serious. We need to talk first. So much has happen between us and I think this has always been here but we need to talk first”
Lex planted his fist to his side trying to stop himself. She wanted him he felt it just now. He didn’t understand why they need to talk about it.
They should be making their way to his bed but he let the feeling go for the moment. “Let me get you a towel go have a seat in the study.”
“I don’t want to drip all over the place.” Chloe looked back down at her wet body and she noticed her nipples sticking out. She let out a gasp and grabbed her shirt trying to hide them.
Lex wanted to say it was too late but he was more worried that she felt she needed to hide them. “It’s alright. I can buy new furniture if you get it wet.”
She rolled her eyes at him and mumbled under breath. “Arrogate, rich, spoiled, know it all… ”
“If you’re done insulting me I’ll take you to the study.” Lex started to walk away trying to shift his erection into a less painful and more comfortable position.
Chloe peered down the hallway and followed after him. Lex lead her to the study then left her to go get the towel.
He was half way to linen closet when he remembered the pictures were all over his coffee table. He sprinted back to the study and she was standing over the pictures.
She was holding one in her hand. Her face was lost then he could see her realizing what the pictures meant and her brow furrowed and her lips twitched in anger.
“What the hell are all these!” It was a rhetorical question she knew what they were.
“Let me explain.” It was best Lex could say as he walked into the study slowly.
“Explain what. That you’re some obsessed stalker. I thought that you were interested in me but this… this… this is just insane.” Chloe collected the pictures.
Lex tried to stop her but she yanked what she had in her hands towards her. He didn’t want to scare her away but he was. She had the pictures in a messy pile and pushed pass him.
“Wait Chloe. I’m interested in you. I wanted to… I had the pictures taken to…”
She turned and jumped in. “I don’t want to hear it. You’re some sick psycho jerking off to pictures of me.”
Lex did use the pictures from time to time but that’s not what he took them for. “No, no. Sit down and let me explain.”
“No! I was crazy for coming her. I can’t believe I thought this was a good idea. I was about to break up with BJ because I couldn’t stop thinking about that first kiss. Now I don’t want to know what the kiss meant or what is going on with us. I don’t care to explore it. This month has been a bad experiment. I should have never started this lunch thing with you. I thought we were older now. That whatever happen in Smallville could stay there but you’re the same person you always were. You’re obsessive and possessive and arrogant and …and …and a fucking pervert for invading my privacy like this.“
She was breathing out heavily and clutching at the photos and her jacket in her arms. Lex just stood there letting her yell at him. He was all those things. He wanted Chloe and did what he had to do to find out how to get into her life.
“I know it was wrong. I shouldn’t have had you followed but I can’t stop thinking about you…” Lex tried to continue but she turned to leave. He tried to stop her but she jerked away again dropping some the pictures.
“Don’t touch me. I’m getting out of here.” Chloe stomped her way to the door. She opened it and looked back at Lex standing there lost as what to do to make her stay aside from holding her against her will.
“I should have known better then to think I could be friends with a Luthor. I will never learn to just tell my curiosity to shut the hell up. Don’t come near me again!” She slammed the door behind her and he let her leave.
Lex was in a daze she came to him and a second later he lost her. He picked up the pictures she dropped. They were shots of them hugging. Lex stared at the photos and made his way to study. He stood in the empty room in his empty penthouse staring at the picture.
He knew what he was feeling. He denied it for years. Since the first day he meet her to the last day he saw her in Smallville, until the day she came back into his life at the press conference, Lex knew what he was feeling.
He was in love with Chloe Sullivan and had been in love, obsessed with, and wanted her for almost seven years.
He knew he didn’t deserver her and would never be worthy of her loving him back but he had to fix this. No matter what he should or shouldn’t do he had to have what he wanted.
