ROTFL! This set the tone for this chapter perfectly. Although, the mood has been building up for a little while now, but this is the chapter where everything finally came to a head. LOL! And I enjoyed the way that Lex insisted to himself over here that ‘nothing’ was going to happen, or even possible, between himself and Chloe because he just ‘didn’t think of her that way’. LOL! Oh, these two clueless fools.He slipped in next to her and held his arms open before his brain could tell him that maybe that wasn't such a good idea. But it wasn't like anything would happen. He wasn't even really aroused yet. At all, he wasn't aroused at all and wouldn't be, because Chloe was his friend, not a fuck.
It did however strike me as a little disquieting that BOTH and Lex and Chloe gave a thought to the fact that Chloe was on Clark’s side of the bed. Both of them were basically together, in their own twisted ways, because of Clark. Everything that happened in this chapter just screamed ‘rebound comfort fuck’ to me.
LOL! I also enjoyed the cute banter they shared… not to mention the adorable visual of both of them whamming their heads against each other. They both are so cute when they’re being domestic.Lex was still chuckling. He couldn't see very well in the darkness, but he didn't need to see her in detail to know which kind of expression was on her face right now. “You're...” Adorable, cute, funny, and quite a few other things that she probably didn't want to hear right now.
This first kiss was beautiful, gorgeous and sexy! And it seemed to be ‘mostly’ about Chloe and Lex, without either of them thinking too much about Clark. Not during the kiss itself at least.The firm pressure of his lips coupled with the surprising softness of them made her want to moan. But she trapped the noise in her throat. Her hand tentatively came to rest on his shoulder. She had to stop. He had a boyfriend. They were just friends. God, she was damned.
Heh, it was quite amusing to see how their thoughts were mirroring each other… BOTH of them were desperately trying to convince themselves that the gentle, searing kiss meant nothing more than platonic comfort. These two are just so clueless! It’s definitely fun seeing them both bumble their way towards each other, LOL!No, he had to be projecting. Which wasn't good either. He really shouldn't be having these kinds of thoughts to project in the first place.
Lex closed his eyes and breathed deeply. He had a boyfriend, he was in a relationship with someone. He shouldn't have done this, shouldn't be thinking about doing more. Which he wasn't. Thinking.
Another deep breath. He could work past this. No more inappropriate feelings for the girl who was just being his friend and trying to make things better for him.
Heh, was this conditioning from Lex training himself to waking up whenever Clark had to leave their bed for one of his missions? What was the use of this kind of conditioning? Except for providing a chance for Lex to just lie alone and fume.Lex's eyes popped open upon the click.
He cursed his Pavlovian conditioning and wondered if he'd ever be able to get rid of it again.
ROTFL! It was hilarious seeing them both fighting and playing at a fun battle over pillows and bed-sheets. LOL! And Chloe fights dirty too, which makes it all the more interesting, ROTFL!She could tell by how he held himself that he was fully awake so the thievery was no mistake. She continued on to the bed, slid in and then placed her cool hands on his lower back.
Lex's muscles tensed, but he managed to keep in the indignant sound that was trying to come out of his mouth.
heh, I like that Lex enjoys riling Chloe up mostly because he LIKES seeing her annoyed or angry… and I also enjoyed how Chloe knew that this was Lex’s primary reason for irritating her like this. They both know each far too well to be ‘only friends’… they’re like an old married couple already.She knew why he was doing it. Because he thought it was fun to see the faces she made when she was annoyed or angry or concentrating or anything really. After a minute of tug of war, she gave up.
I loved, LOVED this little part. I ADORED the visual of Lex giving Chloe a firm tug to fly her back into bed against him. And I even liked the arrogant, smug way he was amused about Chloe thinking she could out-wrestle him when she didn’t stand a chance. LOL! I loved the implication that there have been plenty of instances when Lex has let her win at wrestling because she just wrestled TOO hard for him to not let her have victory, LOL!“Nah,” he finally said as he slung an arm around her middle. “C'mere.”
It took one hearty tug from him to get her flat on the mattress beside him and she thought she could outwrestle him for a pillow. Adorable.
Squeee! So THIS was how it started. Heh, I’m going to blame it completely on Lex (HE started in with the irresistible nuzzling), although it IS both of their ‘fault’ for being too muzzy-headed to realize the path they were headed towards being so comfortable cuddling and then wrestling together on a huge bed.Chloe had herself under control, she really did, until she felt him nuzzling at her neck. She’d told Lex she was sensitive there, a number of times, was he trying to kill her?
“Lex…” Her voice should have been strong or put off or brisk or ironic or anything other than that weak, whimpery sound that it was.
It was then that she noticed she was clutching at his shoulders. When he looked up at her, his face unveiled, she could see that he was shocked at what he’d heard. And she thought she saw something else.
Not thinking about what she was doing, or thinking about what could happen if she did what she was doing, her hands moved to the sides of his face. She brought his mouth down to hers and kissed him.
At first, just a brush of their lips against each other’s. When he didn’t pull away, she kissed him with more force.
heh, even now, they’re still a little muddled about what’s going on. Their BODIES know what they’re doing, but Chloe and Lex still seem quite confused about why this is happening. But it was reassuring to see that there was no thought to Clark while this was happening. Both Lex and Chloe were completely focused on each other, and there wasn’t even the ghost of a memory of Clark Kent. I guess it ‘might’ not be a rebound fuck after all.“'S okay. Want this. Want you.” Half sentences to assure her this was more than okay, really, between kissing and groping.
This was gorgeously written smut. I loved seeing them both explore each other. It’s fascinating to see that there are absolutely no higher brain functions taking place during this exploration. It’s pure Chlexy body instincts driving them forwards… which is good, because if they stopped to think about this, they would stop period.His hips bucked into the touch of her hand and he made some kind of noise that he'd deny until his dying day when her fingers circled his cock for the first time.
The hand in her hair flexed before he moved it down again, clawing at the shirt to get it off her. He wanted to feel her skin against his, touch her without all that cotton in the way. She was rocking against his leg as they kept kissing. The bottom of her panties was slowly growing damp.
Lex managed to somehow get his free hand between them and slip it inside her underwear. His fingers slid through her wet folds and inside. He moved them in counterpoint to her hips as she rode them.
It was also great seeing this frantic, intense need that they have for each other. I wonder how they would have explained this need if they had been forced to think or put their desires into words. Heh, I guess the uncomfortable, awkward ‘how did we make such a mistake’ conversation is going to be covered later… I look forward to seeing it. For now, I’ll enjoy them being driven by pure animal instinct.Finally, she broke away from his mouth and immediately started to gasp for air. Her lower half kept grinding against him while her hand stroked over his cock. Panting, she looked down at Lex…and almost lost it at what she saw.
Lips looking swollen and moist, eyes focused on hers and dilated by arousal. He was flushed and gorgeous and she found herself swooping down for another kiss. She stopped herself…barely.
“Want you inside,” she explained as best she could. She regretfully took her hand away from his cock and leaned up a little before she was able, with Lex’s help, to divest her of her shirt. The panties had to go next. Then they’d work on him.
ah HAH! The first hint I’ve got about what kind of need is driving Lex onward. Perhaps Clark’s ‘love ‘em and leave ‘em’ attitude towards his lovers has made them desperate to cling and grasp to any bit of closeness and intimacy they can find? Perhaps that’s what making Chloe and Lex so desperate for each other? I find it hard to believe that Clark doesn’t play a part in their choices and desires right now.“Let me,” he said between kisses, “indulge.” He just wanted to take everything he could for as long as he could get it.
hmmm, Lex is desperate to be close to someone, and Chloe wants to be able to give Lex whatever comfort he can find? Underneath the sizzling physical interaction, is there also a give and take of comfort happening?“Kay,” she breathed out. She took her hands away from Lex’s body and let them fall back onto the mattress. She was already moaning and shaking and felt like she’d come just from his touch but whatever Lex wanted, she’d give him.
I don’t remember whether I mentioned it… but the smut was AMAZINGLY hot! I loved reading it.Lex ducked his head and Chloe arched her body up. Her legs and arms wound around him as his tongue started to tease at one of her nipples. Eyes rolling back in her head and trying not to grind against him, Chloe started to speak. Hoped some of the words made sense. She held his head in place, moaned when he let go of her flesh and then sighed when he took the neglected nipple in his mouth.
“God, Lex, so good.”
Hands now running over his back, nails digging in a little. Trailed a path down his spine and down further below the waist of his boxers. Stopped just above his ass.
Another flutter of his tongue sent Chloe on a cursing fit as her head lolled back and whipped to the side.
heh, I just bet it would… Big huge Clark-shaped thoughts, right?And he didn't want to think of the reason why he didn't have any condoms in the apartment, because that would lead to other thoughts that he didn't want to have right now.
Hmmm, he has no condoms because he doesn’t need to use them with Clark? Or because it’s been so long since he last had sex with Clark? Or did he not bother to replenish his supply since he made the decision to break up with Clark?
Heh, this is fiction, so I’m going to shove aside my rant about the importance of protection under any and ALL circumstances, especially between two people who have basically JUST become lovers in a mad, unconsidered rush. Instead I’m just going to go awww at this show of (stupid, blind) trust between both of them… and rub my hands gleefully at the angsty possibility of pregnancy OR disease showing up later. It’ll add drama, LOL!Knew that she trusted Lex.
She shook her head. “Don’t need it. I trust you.” Held out her hands like she’d done so many times over the past few months and beckoned him closer. As usual, he came to her.
Lex hovered above her body and she spread her legs wider, making room for him. Then she thought of something else. He didn’t know where she’d been. But she’d been tested two years ago and had been safe ever since. She kissed him softly. “I’m clean. But if you want to wait until I can get another…”
It was lovely seeing how touched Lex was about Chloe showing complete trust to him. It’s always beautiful seeing Lex being completely shocked and emotionally levelled whenever anyone puts complete faith in his word and actions.He pulled out of the kiss once he was sure she wouldn't try to finish her sentence anymore. The trust she placed in him meant more than she could probably imagine. It just added to all the things she did for him as his best friend. “I believe you,” he whispered against her lips. “And I trust you, too.”
I really enjoyed this part. I enjoyed seeing how Lex’s passion was being re-awakened by this encounter. The observation he made… about how this ‘feeling was so different and much better than he remembered’… I don’t think he was remarking on the difference between being with a man and a woman. I think he was referring to feeling loved and connected to someone, after suffering from Clark’s neglectful, indifferent and emotionally detached species of ‘lovemaking’.His eyes remained on her face as he shifted his hips and slowly pushed inside. The feeling was so different, so much better than he'd remembered. Soft, hot and tight around him. His breathing became heavier as his eyes grew wide.
Her face was priceless, mouth open and eyes fixed on him as he slowly started to move. So incredibly open and close. Right there with him.
Lex closed the distance between them and kissed her with every last bit of the consuming passion she woke in him.
This was beautiful. I liked seeing all this evidence on how Lex seemed aware of Chloe and completely focused on her. There didn’t seem to be any ‘Clark’ between them, no comparison taking place between Clark and Chloe, and very little sign that Lex was using Chloe as a means of getting over his heartbreak over Clark.“Wanna see.” Lex’s voice was gravelly and deep. But not exactly demanding. He was asking for this.
After another few seconds, Chloe moved her body again until her head was resting on the pillow so Lex could watch her face.
I’m a suspicious kind of person, so I’m VERY sure that Lex was partially using Chloe for comfort and solace… but at least he was still seeing her as CHLOE rather than a convenient body.
heh. There was surprisingly very little sign that Chloe was comparing herself to Clark during this session. I’m quite pleased that she wasn’t driving herself nuts trying to ‘out-do’ Clark and prove herself to be a better lay than him… but it was cute (and plausible) to imagine her taking some satisfaction about the way that she ‘might’ be a physically superior bed-partner than Clark… because she could control her muscles to massage Lex’s cock better than Clark could, LOL! Priceless!When she looked up at him, she felt more naked. If that was possible. This was Lex. Not some random guy that didn’t know her insides as well as her outsides. When their eyes locked, she squeezed her internal muscles around him. Something she guessed that the fairer sex had better control over.
ah HAH! So it is solace and comfort that Lex was seeking within Chloe. At least they both seemed fully aware of it, AND Lex seemed sweetly appreciative of Chloe giving herself to him. It seemed all right for him to ‘use’ her like this as long as she allowed it.He couldn't tear his eyes from her face, couldn't get enough of that open, trusting look. Chloe's face was always so full of expression, showing everything. “Thank you,” rasped the words out before he kissed her again.
This was a gorgeous, beautiful observation from Lex. I loved seeing how he believes that no other person can understand him the way Chloe does. He’s aware that she knows everything there is to know about him, and she loves him… and he loves her for it.It felt like she didn't just look at him, she really saw him, right through to the places no one else wanted to know about. The things he'd done, the reasons why he'd done them, the way they'd changed him, made him who he was.
LOL at this ‘quirk’ of Chloe’s. I should have known that Chloe was the kind of person to be vocal about everything… and the more passionate she gets, the louder she gets. ROTFL! It fits in perfectly with her personality.Usually, Chloe was a screamer. In college, those who she lived with always knew when she’d gotten lucky. It had been a big joke between them. She didn’t know why, but she could never keep her mouth shut with all of the frantic gyrating and grinding that went on. Always had been loud, always knew she would be.
I LOVED this climatic ending. It was intense and mind-blowing! It was definitely a world-shifting experience for the both of them.Lex was being no less passionate with her, if anything, the look on his face was the most intense thing she’d ever experienced when she was with another person, so it didn’t make any sense.
Instead of screaming at the top of her lungs and thrashing about, she’d just held him tighter and his name passed her lips on a drawn out groan. He felt closer to her than any other man she’d been with.
She could feel his weight on top of her, his eyes searching her face, their fingers laced, his come inside of her, smell their combined scent.
The intense sex was followed by a beautiful afterglow. I loved how there was no awkwardness or regret between the two of them over what happened. They might have gone into this without fully understanding what was happening, but they DO understand everything that took place, and WHY it happened. It was wonderful to see that the sex has not ruined their friendship, or made their bond into something cheap and demeaning.And he still didn’t pull away. There was no quick smile and then the eventual feeling of coldness when they left her. Lex stayed put, his other hand now brushing some hair out of her face.
Chloe ran her thumb over his cheekbone and smiled up at him before drawing him down for a lazy kiss.
Lex's hand tangled in her hair, cradling her head as the kiss drew on. His other hand let go of hers to move under her back and hold her to him as he turned them over, settling her securely on top of him.
When the kiss eventually broke he tightened his hold on her and moved just enough to allow her to tuck her head under his chin. His mind was still somewhere not quite in the real world, imagining what it would be like to just stay here. If things were always like this, perfectly peaceful and silent.
Heh, I really enjoyed Chloe’s slow, groggy thoughts over here. She just felt so warm, safe and comfortable with Lex. There was nothing unpleasant in her thoughts… in fact, she seemed quite pleased about how NICE it was to have sex with your best friend, and wondering why they had not done it before… which definitely means she would be more than open to trying this again. I hope they figure out that combining passionate sex with a loving friends relationship means something more than the fuck-buddy relationships she’s gotten used to in recent years.Lex was the perfect pillow which was very unexpected. He was all angles and not very fleshy. He had a better body than she’d even imagined. It was odd that he was so cushiony. Odd, but very nice.
He held her tightly to him and Chloe didn’t feel suffocated or trapped or like she needed to run. Huh. Guess that sometimes happened when you had some really amazing sex with your best friend.
She ran her fingertips over whatever expanse of skin she could find. Lex placed another gentle kiss on top of her head and Chloe could hear herself practically purring in contentment. They should have done this much earlier.
Heh, and they both fell asleep, feeling peacefully warm and sated against each other. They fell asleep on Lex’s bed, right? Yikes! Now what’s going to happen when Clark flies in to see them both entwined naked around each other? I’m assuming that he will not be THAT oblivious to not be able to guess what happened. Fireworks in the next chapter? I look forward to it
