*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Water ran down her face as she stood outside the Talon, crouched over the open hood of her car, looking for anything that looked out of place.
"What the hell am I doing? I don't know anything about cars." She straightened herself out and watched as a car pulled up beside her own and a tall, bald man stepped out into the rain.
"Need a lift," he asked as he approached her, smirk firmly in place on his handsome face. Chloe breathed out a laugh and nodded. He reached over and settled the hood back in place as she locked the doors to her car and turned back to face him. She was struck with the sudden thought that he looked incredibly sexy standing there, staring at her, drenched in water from head to toe. She'd been dating Charles for about a month now, and these types of thoughts about Lex were nothing new. She knew she should try to clear her head of him, but she found that task a bit harder than it sounded, so she'd given up and surrendered to the vast images her mind produced of Lex. She felt his fingers brush away a strand of wet hair from her face, and suddenly noticed how close they really were. Her eyes trailed up from his chest, where his silk shirt clung to him like a second skin, to his face, where she discovered him following the same trail she'd just went, except his eyes seemed planted on her chest and not even bothering to pay a glance at her face, which was now blushing profusely. She breathed in deeply and stepped away from him.
"Ok um...guess we'd better get going," she said huskily and cursed her voice for not cooperating with her brain. She started walking towards the car and climbed in, not having the guts to look at him.
'He shouldn't be doing this. He knows I have a boyfriend'
'Yea. Well, you know you have a boyfriend, but that never stops you from flirting back or watching him any chance you get,' her inner demon argued and she watched as Lex climbed into the driver's seat in one, smooth movement. He shot her an evil grin before he put the car in gear, heading down the street towards...the mansion?
"Uh Lex? You were supposed to turn down that road," she said, indicating with her finger just which road he should have taken. "I'd hate to think you've forgotten where I live."
"Oh, I could never forget where you live, Chloe," he replied in that tone that made her want to strangle him and jump him at the same time.
"Then why are we headed for your house?" He shrugged in response and turned on the radio, finding the rock station he knew she loved.
"Your dad's not home and this storm is getting worse. You can stay at the mansion tonight."
"I'm fully capable of staying home alone while it rains. Besides, you could just go drop me off at Charles' house." She knew she'd said the wrong thing when he straightened up in his seat and forcefully jerked the stick shift into the next gear. "Uh...but the mansion's fine, I guess."
He nodded. "You guess," he said and brought the car to a stop before he turned to face her and continued. "You want me to bring you to your house? ...Or Charles?" He said Charles' name through gritted teeth and she noticed how he was trying to keep his emotions in check.
'Just go to the mansion. Jeez, this is Lex asking you to stay at his house for the night. Just shut it and nod happily to anything he says.'
"No no...your house is fine." She smiled and settled back into her seat and soon after that, they were on their way to the mansion.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Once they were inside the mansion, she waited by the door to his office as Lex checked for any calls he might've missed. He looked up and smiled.
"I don't bite," he joked, and after a moments silence, he sighed. "What's wrong?"
She smiled. "Nothing." She had really been thinking about how good he looked, slightly hovering over the edge of his desk, but she wasn't about to tell him that. "So...you have a towel or something? Kinda dripping on a very expensive carpet here."
His eyes widened and...was that a blush? "heh...sorry about that. Sorta slipped my mind."
'Actually, I just like seeing you soaking wet, but you don't need to know that.'
He stopped himself from continuing on that train of though by walking over to a closet that she'd never noticed was there before and grabbing two towels, handing her one. She muttered a thanks and began toweldrying her hair.
"Come on. I'll go look for some clothes you can fit into and show you where you'll be sleeping." They walked out of the room together and up the stairs in silence. He walked into a room and she followed, closing the door behind her. As she turned around, she thought her feet would give out from beneath her. They were in Lex's bedroom. His dresser. His clothes scattered around. His bedroom. His bed. Her eyes followed him as he walked to his closet and started searching through his clothes. She was surprised that his room was so messy. So cluttered. So...normal. He walked over to her and held out a pair of soft, satin night pants and an oversized T-shirt.
"Here. This should fit. I'm sorry I don't have any underwear or whatever for you, but as you can see, I'm not a crossdresser."
"Could've fooled me," she replied jokingly and grabbed the clothes from him. "Maid isn't allowed in here or something?"
He chuckled and surveyed his room. "This is my room. I don't like other people in it."
"But I'm here."
"Yes...you are."
There was a moment of silence where neither could look anywhere else but the other's face. Chloe coughed and looked away first.
"Alright. Um...bathroom?"
Lex shook his head, as if to get his brain to work again. "Yea, right through that door. I'll uh be downstairs." He started walking towards the door before she called him back.
"Aren't you gonna change too," she asked, confused and...was that another blush? She was amazed she could get him to blush so easily.
"Uh yea. Lemme just get my clothes," he said, walking back to the closet to get his clothes, then leaving the room quickly. After she was changed and everything, she walked downstairs, taking her time. She wanted to explore, but every time she opened a door, lightening struck and she'd jump in surprise. She'd given up the snooping for tonight and walked into the office they'd recently been in. Lex was laying on the couch in a pair of pants similar to hers, except they weren't silk, and a shirt that was a little too big, but looked great on him. His eyes were closed and the flames from the burning fire played across his face. She snapped out of her trance and walked over to the couch across from his, sitting down.
"Did the clothes fit," he asked, not bothering to open his eyes.
"Yea, they did," she replied as she curled up into the large shirt that seemed to engulf her whole body. Lightening struck again and she jumped, a small whimper escaping her throat. This caused Lex to open his eyes and look over at her.
"You alright," he asked and she couldn't miss the concern in his voice.
"Uh yea, I'm fine. Just...cold." She knew it probably sounded lame, but she wasn't about to admit to him her fear of lightening. It was something she'd rather keep to herself.
"Want a blanket or something?" Before she could answer, he was already up and searching through the closet for a blanket. She sighed and got up, walking towards him. He turned to her as she talked.
"Lex, you don't have to get a blanket. I'm fi-" she started to say, but just as she got close to him, lightening struck again and the lights flicked and then went completely out. She hadn't stopped walking, so when she hit something, her hands went up instinctively and only after a moment's thought, she realized she was pressed up rather closely to Lex Luthor. Her hands clutched at his shoulders and his hands held her waist firmly to keep her from falling. At least, that's what he tried to convince himself of. Every inch of his skin she touched was burning up and he knew if he didn't pull back, she'd realized how much he was enjoying their embrace. He tried to pull back, but she wouldn't let go. She instead, tightened her grip on him. 'This is not good. This is not good. This is not good' was the only thing flying through his head at the moment as she pressed even closer to him.
"You okay," he asked, and mentally cursed himself as he heard the slight quiver of his words as they came out.
"Uh yea. Perfect...couldn't be better." Another of her fears-the dark. She realized they'd been standing there for a while before she reluctantly pulled back. She heard Lex walk towards what she guessed was the direction of his desk, grab something, and walk back. He bumped into her rather hard and she stumbled. He reached out to catch her, but only succeeded in grabbing her ass in the process. She blushed furiously and could practically feel Lex smirking from where he stood.
"What did you go get?" A flash of light came from behind her and she swirled around to see Lex's face partially lit up by the flashlight in his hand. She thought he looked kinda evil like that, but equally seductive. He placed his hand on the small of her back and steered her out the room.
"We'll find the circuit breaker. See if the lights'll come back on that way," he whispered into her ear and she shivered slightly at the feel of his breath playing across her skin. She didn't know why he was whispering, they were the only ones there. She just nodded dumbly and followed him up the stairs. As they reached the top, they noticed the light from the flashlight getting dimmer and dimmer until darkness completely surrounded them. She started laughing uncontrollably.
"And what, pray tell, is so funny?" asked Lex, and he couldn't help but chuckle himself as she shook with laughter.
"You, a multibillionaire plant manager, couldn't afford a new set of batteries to put in his flashlight." She continued to laugh, not really finding that fact hilarious, but for some reason, she couldn't stop laughing. Lex wrapped his left arm around her waist and pulled her down the hallway, using his right hand to guide them. He finally got to the circuit breaker and, after flipping the switches a few times, gave up and started walking in the general direction of their rooms. After much stumbling and tripping, they finally got to Chloe's room. He opened the door and she walked in. Her foot hit something hard and skinny and she cursed under her breathe.
"You okay," he asked immediately. She reached down and grabbed the object, holding it up so Lex could see it, although it was very dark and nothing was visible to either of them. She could tell what it was though.
"Lex, I thought you'd at least give me a room with a bed and hopefully a bathroom," she replied comically.
"Oh right! That's the broom closet. Huh...sorry about that. Your room should be right...here," he said as they felt their way over to another room. He opened the door and she extended just her foot through the open doorway.
"Well, no brooms, so I guess it's safe."
He laughed as they walked into the room and over to the bed. She turned around and sensed that he was still there.
"You can leave now. I think I can take it from here."
"I just wanna make sure you don't trip over any stray brooms," he said as she got under the sheets and curled up into a ball. "G'nite, Chloe"
"Nite, Lex."
And with that, he stumbled around for a bit and left.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Chloe tossed and turned in the bed once more, trying to get comfortable. The bed was very comfortable, that wasn't the problem. She couldn't stop thinking about everything that had been happening throughout the past few weeks. She and Lex had grown impossibly closer, to the point where it felt like they were the ones dating. She spent a lot of time with Charles too, of course. But after a while, they didn't have much to talk about and their time together grew shorter and shorter. To say she'd grown tired of him would be rather harsh. They just didn't seem to click. But she'd stayed with him anyway, because it seemed like the...safer thing to do. She knew she shouldn't do that to Charles, lead him on like that, when her true feelings lied in the man staying in the room across from her. That was the thing about Lex, she never got bored with him. He always kept her on her toes, challenging her, and that's what she liked about him. She turned to face the other wall and sighed.
~I'm never gonna get any sleep like this~
She climbed out of bed and walked out of the room, her bare feet practically freezing on the cold wood floor. It was still raining, but there was no more lightening, and Chloe couldn't be happier for that. She noticed Lex's door was open so she peaked her head in and smiled at the sight before her. There were candles lit and strategically placed at different parts of the room, and Lex was sitting Indian style right in the middle of his bed, crouched slightly over a large book, not noticing her presence. She walked in just the tiniest bit and knocked lightly on the doorframe. His eyes found their way to hers and they both smiled.
"Sorry, couldn't sleep and...I can see you can't either."
He nodded and closed the book, pushing it aside. "It's a bit early to be sleeping, don'tcha think?"
The red glowing numbers from his bedside clock told her it was only 11. "Yea, I guess so. What's up with all these candles, Lex? You been holding out on me?"
"Never," he said as he scooted over to the right and patted the space beside him. "I could do with some company though."
She grinned and walked over to the bed, sitting down and making herself comfortable. They stayed silent, but it wasn't an uncomfortable silence. Soon, they were lying down, facing each other, smiling. Chloe was the first to speak.
"Do you realize how horribly clichéd and sugary sweet this is?"
Lex laughed, something Chloe took great pride in being able to bring out of him. He didn't laugh much around others, but when they were alone, he learned to let loose and relax. "And what's so wrong with that?"
"Oh, not wrong. Just weird I guess..." She yawned and snuggled into the warm, comfortable bed once more and closed her eyes, sighing contentedly. He always did this to her. Whenever she was with him, he made her forget all her problems, and right now, that's exactly what he'd done. Without everything to worry about, the need for sleep crashed onto her all at once and she already felt herself falling asleep. She vaguely heard his body shift on the bed, moving closer or further away from her, she couldn't tell. Then, she felt his fingers lightly trail down her cheeks; his touch so soft, she wasn't sure if he was actually touching her or it was all just her imagination. She decided to just forget about it and get some sleep. And that's what she did.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lex's POV
Once her breathing became even and I knew she was asleep, I had to resist the urge to lean over and just kiss her like I'd wanted to all night. Hell, like I'd wanted to since our "movie date". She looked so insanely innocent lying there, lips slightly parted, not aware that I was watching her so intently. To be completely honest, these feelings I had for her weren't new at all and scared the shit out of me, and Luthors aren't scared of anything. But Chloe had once told him that he was as far from being a Luthor now as his father was to being an actual human being. He continued to stroke her face gently and as sleep started to overtake him too, he leaned over and placed a surprisingly soft kiss on her parted lips and then leaned back, falling asleep almost immediately.

Ok, there's your sequel everyone! :D Hope you liked it. But the updates won't be coming as quickly as with my last fic. School's just started for me so I'll work on it as often as I can. Please review and tell me whatcha think!
