"Blow the Candles Out"

A Smallville story by Xica

Characters: Clark, Chloe, Pete, Lana, Lex, and Mari

Disclaimer: All the usuals apply. All I own is my poor Smallville infested brain and the characters that are created from it.

*Sigh* I tried to move ahead to another story line, but the Lex was just too much to resist. It gets a little steamy, but in accordance with ff.net rules it's a 'R' rating at its worst.Enjoy. And as usual I proudly acknowledge that I am a feedback slut so please read and review.

The loud crash should have startled her, but Mari was a tad preoccupied with the hands pushing her onto her back to be concerned about the fact that lunch, and everything it was served on was now a mess on the floor. Her hands went to Lex's back and she pulled him down to her. Lex responded and settled himself between her legs, his lips nipping at her collarbone.

"Lex I think you're losing your touch" Mari said between gasps.

"And why is that" he murmured against her skin.

"Well, I've been here nearly twenty minutes and we're just getting to this point. It stands to reason that your usual female companions never have to wait that long".

"Well lets just say you inspire me to greatness", Lex cooed.

"Bullshit"

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. That's bullshit"

"You know Mari, pardon me for saying so, but you have a tendency to run off at the mouth at the most inopportune times".

"Aw. I'm sorry Lex" Mari said, pushing Lex away from her and coming to a sitting position, "I suppose you prefer the type of girl who closes her mouth and opens her legs as soon as she hits the door".

"Well, faced with the exact opposite…" Lex trailed off, and in spite of herself Mari laughed.

"I'm taking it a dining room table isn't your style".

"Well considering the last guy who tried to have sex with me thought he was doing my a favor by putting a blanket down next to his pick-up truck, I'd say this is a step up".

"Shit, I'd apologize for my young male counterparts but why bother? At least you learned your lesson".

"And what lesson is that" Mari asked, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Lex smiled and pulled her close, his mouth inches from hers, "Never send a boy to do a man's job".

Mari felt her knees get weak at the seductive tone of Lex's voice. Having his arms wrapped around her, his body pressed against hers, feeling his breath on her neck was almost too much too handle. She couldn't believe she'd almost backed out of this.

"Lex. Bedroom. Now" she managed to squeak out and Lex did not hesitate.

They took off flying down the hall until Lex stopped at a door, throwing it open and pulling her inside. Mari pushed Lex towards the bed, and he landed with a thud. Lex sat up, intent on pulling her down with him, but Mari stopped him with a glance. Mari took a step back and started to undress.

Within seconds her clothes were in a pile on the floor, only her lacy bra and underwear keeping her being completely nude.

"You know, I think I could have handled that for you".

Mari smirked and stepped to the bed, standing in between Lex's legs, resting her hands on his thighs.

"What? No snappy comeback"

Mari only smiled and nodded "no", while reaching for Lex's belt buckle.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Lex asked, placing his hands over hers.

Mari sighed, "Lex, I wouldn't be here if I didn't".

"Just checking"

"Good. Now be quiet so I can have my wicked way with you".

Lex chuckled and removed her hands from their perch. "I believe you are mistaken Ms. Wesley. For it is I who shall have my wicked way with you" he said deeply as he pulled her onto the bed and beneath him. Mari started to protest, but her words got caught in her throat as Lex reached underneath her and removed her bra in one fluid, skilled motion. His hands immediately went to her breasts, kneading them gently, his tongue caressing the valley in between.

For what seemed like a veritable eternity Lex teased her, bringing her to the point of ecstasy and then pulling her back over and over. And when he finally entered her she thought she might die from the sheer pleasure of it all. So fast, but she wished he could go faster, so rough, yet amazingly gentle at the same time. Flesh against flesh, so close that she wasn't sure if the sweat trickling down her arm was hers or his. Without warning she felt his strong hand gently rubbing her clitoris, pulling her into her climax. Her eyes were wide open but she was blinded by her pleasure. She wanted to scream, cry out, do anything, but her mind was numb. All she new was this man who was filling her deeply and fulfilling her so completely. She felt as small stab of pain and she realized that Lex's face was buried in her shoulder, his teeth digging into the soft flesh. She wrapped her legs around him and he sunk that much deeper, the muscles in his legs tensing and relaxing with every thrust. He was pounding into her now, getting ever so closer and Mari watched fascinated as he lost complete control. It was almost too much to handle and Mari's fought her instinct to close her eyes at the sight. The Lex she knew was cool, calm and controlled, he was not the man calling out her name in a growl that was almost animalistic in its severity. With a final thrust he gave in and collapsed on top of her, his breathing hard, his body sated.

Mari lay still, for how long she wasn't really quite sure. She was in a complete and total haze, she recalled a term she'd seen in trashy romance novels. Afterglow. She'd always though the term was kind of dumb, but for now it suited her nicely. She squirmed slightly, hoping to release some of the pressure of Lex's weight and realized when he didn't move that he was sleeping. She'd always heard girls complaining about how guys fell asleep after sex, but in this instance she didn't particularly mind. Mari yawned and stretched and decided that maybe a little nap wasn't a bad idea. She reached down and picked up the comforter that must have fallen to the floor at some point and did her best to cover them without waking Lex. Mission accomplished she lay her head on the pillow and drifted into a deep sleep.
