Chapter one
Lex remembered all the things he had told Chloe before she had left a year ago. He always told her that he loved her and she was so beautiful. He should've never started 33.1 he regretted it now and he knew he could never take it back. He had finally found someone he truly loved after marrying Desire which he didn't have a choice in, Helen which had always been a bad idea, and he had even went as low as flirting with Lana but he had realized that he had only done that to get to Chloe. He had thought she was cute storming into his study telling him not to hurt Lana and he had told her off right back secretly wanting her for himself knowing she had never had a serious boyfriend. A few months after that fate had brought them together at a party and they had gotten stuck in a coat closet together. He had found it hilarious and kept laughing Chloe just stared at him with dark eyes and told him that he better get them out of there. Lex tried but no one could hear them and no one was going to open this closet anyway Lex heard the host telling people to put them in another closet since this one had a broken door handle. Lex and Chloe had obviously never been told that. Lex remembered that night very clearly.
Chloe had been wearing a strapless red dress and he loved it on her. He kept staring and Chloe looked at him with cold eyes.
"What is it Chloe you have been looking at me like that for the last five minutes." Lex said smiling knowing that she didn't like him staring at her.
"Well I wish you would quit staring at me." Chloe told him sternly knowing that if she turned around so he couldn't see her front he would just like the view from behind too.
"What else am I supposed to stare at?" Lex asked her his eyebrows raising.
"I don't care pick something just don't stare at me." Chloe said she didn't like him staring at her especially since he had strong feelings for her best friend.
"Come on Chloe you and I both know that you are the prettiest thing in this closet." Lex said seductively licking his lips knowing he would get her attention somehow.
"Stop flirting with me Lex you like Lana." Chloe told him sternly she didn't like him at all and for him to be saying these things to her made her stomach turn. But was that a good thing or a bad thing?
"Lana." Lex said laughing he thought it was hilarious that Chloe still hadn't caught on he was just messing with Lana she needed someone after Clark had broke up with her and he decided to try things with her. But she wasn't like him at all he needed someone more independent and smart someone who would tell him what a bastard he was someone who wasn't afraid of him.
"What is so funny Lex?" Chloe asked him not understanding his sudden outburst although it was nice to hear him laugh.
"The fact that you think that I am interested in Lana." Lex said.
"Then why were you in our room flirting with her?" Chloe asked still not understanding what he was doing with Lana if he didn't like her.
"Oh Chloe I thought a journalist like you would understand. It was to get to you." Lex said without hesitation he knew he would have to tell her sometime.
"To get to me?" Chloe asked him she was really confused now.
"Yes Chloe I knew that you might catch us and I knew you wouldn't be happy with it. I knew you would come to the mansion to tell me off. You really are beautiful when you get mad." Lex told her gently. All he wanted to do was reach out and touch her but he knew she wouldn't like that.
"I still don't understand you wanted to make me mad why?" Chloe asked she didn't like the way Lex was looking at her with intense eyes.
"God Chloe you don't understand I wanted you. I still want you." Lex shouted at her trying to make her understand before he had to confess all that but that hadn't worked.
Chloe's eyes just stared at him had Lex Luthor just said that he wanted her. He could have anyone else in the world and he wanted the one girl who hated him the most. Chloe just didn't understand her mind was racing nothing that was happening was making sense she couldn't imagine a life with Lex Luthor but yet she couldn't imagine a life without him either. Chloe couldn't look at Lex anymore she turned her back to him not caring what he though about her behind. She needed to clear her head needed to not be stuck in a closet with a man who had just confessed that he wanted her.
"I know that it just came out really fast but I can't hide my feelings any longer. I need you to at least turn around and look at me and maybe we can work something out." Lex said gently it wasn't like she could go anywhere.
Chloe knew that Lex wouldn't let her go with out a fight whatever he wanted he got and what he wanted right at this moment was her, but what if he decided he didn't want her anymore if they started a relationship could she handle that? Could she handle being brushed aside like nothing more than property? Chloe slowly turned around and she looked at Lex his eyes were full of want and need. She couldn't help but think he was a handsome and attractive man and she decided that maybe she could try whatever it was that he wanted.
"What do you have in mind?" Chloe asked almost like she really didn't want to know.
"Well I thought we could try being friends with benefits for at least a year we could make up a contract and everything as long as that is okay with you." Lex told her gently he didn't want to do anything to push her away.
Chloe knew that was what he wanted she could see it in his eyes before he told her what he wanted. Chloe wasn't sure if that was what she wanted but she knew that if they had a contract then it would make everything more official. She decided that it would be fine to start the kind of relationship Lex wanted.
"Alright Lex as long as there is going to be a contract and we can keep it a secret then I will agree." Chloe said thinking that he would only want her for a year and then she could move on with her life.
"I will make up the contract tomorrow." Lex told her glad that she had agreed.
"So what do we do now?" Chloe asked him with a crooked smile.
"Whatever you want we could just sit down and talk or something else. I'm not really sure what else you can do in a closet." Lex told her hoping that she would come up with the idea that he had in his head.
Chloe stared at Lex and she knew exactly what he wanted to do. She came closer to him and figured she better get used to being close to him and feeling his touch. Lex already knew what she wanted and he wanted it to. Lex caressed Chloe's cheek bringing her closer to him and finally he let his lips touch hers it was gentle at first but it grew stronger and more passionate. Chloe felt her whole body warm up with his kiss she had never been kissed like this before and it felt good. Lex maneuvered his tongue into her mouth and Chloe groaned in the back of her throat. That made Lex kiss her even harder he backed her up into the closet wall and kept their kiss. Chloe couldn't control her body she was letting Lex lead her into everything which she normally wouldn't do. She didn't want him to think that he was the one in charge because that wasn't going to happen, but she followed his lead only because he knew what he was doing and it felt good. They kept making out for at least an hour before they heard the music start to die down and people were scurrying to get out. Lex ran his fingers through Chloe's hair a few times trying to make her look presentable even though they were both breathing heavy. Once Chloe had ran her hand over her clothes getting the wrinkles out and Lex had done the same they started knocking on the door asking for someone to let them out. They heard the doorknob turn and Clark peeked his head at them. He opened the door all the way letting them both out.
"So this is where you were. I was starting to get worried." Clark told Chloe gently completely ignoring Lex.
"I'm fine Clark let's just go." Chloe told him.
Clark wrapped his arm around Chloe's waist and led her out Chloe looked back at Lex and smiled at him. He smiled back and gave a little wave he even though he wanted to rip Clark's hand off of her.
Lex threw his glass of beer across the room and he watched as it broke into little tiny pieces. He needed her back he had never wanted her to leave him. He should've never done what he did then she still would be here with him.
