Chapter 11: The Limousine- Part II
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Sullivan... there's a certain amount of technique and finesse that accompanies the art of chocolate strawberry eating." Lex explained moving over to sit on the seat beside her.
"Oh really...? Well, please- enlighten me?" Chloe asked with a curious tone, tucking her legs beneath her so she could turn to face him. She laid the glass between them.
Lex picked off his own dripping melted chocolate strawberry with two fingers, then tilted his head back ever so slightly, sliding the treat into his mouth with a flick of his tongue. The whole scene sent Chloe into a trance.
"Now that's how you eat a strawberry..." Lex stated, licking his lips and wiping up a few stray chocolate droplets. He rested his arm along the top of the seat, awaiting the verdict.
"Mmmm... mega points for seductiveness- pity about the chocolate up your nose." Chloe murmured with a smirk, trying to cover up her blush.
"I'd give it an eight."
"An eight?!" Lex asked, completely insulted with his score. "The ice cream and chocolate is all melty now- I can't help it if it drips. Besides- I doubt you could do better?"
"Nice try, but I'm not going to display my true strawberry eating powers in front of you." she stated, suddenly aware of the delicate contour of his chocolate covered lips.
"Oh, is Sullivan scared? Hm...? Frightened of the big bad Luthor that jump on you if he gets turned on...?"
"Please! I'm not at all intimidated by you!" she snapped indignantly.
"Prove it." Lex demanded, tilting his head down and looking up at her defiantly. He lifted the chocolate dripping strawberry to her lips, confidant that she'd back down.
Chloe glanced at the Luthor who displayed a teasing glint in his eyes. He was so damn arrogant! The young woman leaned in closer to take the strawberry, but found that Lex was inching the fruit closer to himself and further from her mouth. She kept eye contact with the fruit, but paused as a large chocolate drop fell onto the base of Lex's neck. If that wasn't divine intervention she didn't know what was.
Lex's eyes widened as Chloe gripped his shoulders lightly with her hands. She wasn't looking into his eyes, but instead was leaning into him, aiming for her target. Her lips made contact with the sweet chocolate and more importantly- his warm skin.
Chloe never tasted anything so glorious in her entire life. Just as her tongue flipped out for more Lex gasped. Chloe (who hadn't expected him to start making happy-noises) jumped in fright. Unfortunately their coinciding actions had a disastrous effect as they both forgot the crystal glass of melted ice cream that lay between them. It wobbled dangerously.
"Lex grab the-!"
But it was too late. A part of the ice cream had sloshed onto an incriminating part of Lex's black pants.
"Ahhh! Cold!!" he yelled, jerking up so hard that he knocked his head against the ceiling of the vehicle.
"Ouch! Shit, damn this- arg!"
Chloe Sullivan was rendered helpless by the waves of laughter that were rippling through her. She couldn't stop.
"Of course you'd find this funny, Sullivan!" Lex snapped, grabbing a box of tissues and padding at the spot delicately. There were just way too many sensations going through him at this point for him to be able to think straight.
Chloe wasn't listening, she was laughing too hard as tears streamed down her face, but she tried her best to stop for the sake of the Luthor's dignity.
"I'm sorry.!" she began, "it's just so funny. *breathes* okay, I'm done with the laughter."
"Thank you- because this situation is very serious! Do you realize that extreme cold in this particular region could render a man sterile?!" he yelled.
His comment only spun Chloe into another fit of laughter. Many ice-creamed tissues later Lex gave up.
"I need new pants!"
"Well." Chloe began calming her laughter.
"Don't you have your honeymoon bags packed in here somewhere? You can stop off somewhere and change."
"Good thinking Sullivan!" Lex said, pulling down the back seat to get into the trunk.
"The only problem is that we've been followed ever since we left the church so we can't stop. I guess there aren't that many white limos around today." He said, pulling out a black bag and rummaging through its contents.
"What?!" Chloe asked whipping around and noticing a large white van behind them.
"Yeah. I didn't want to freak you out," Lex explained pulling out a pair of tan slacks.
"I'm not freaked out- those reporters are of my kind, I understand the lengths they'll go to get a story." Chloe admitted.
"Yeah well. not all reporters are like you Sullivan.
Driver!" Lex snapped into the intercom.
"Yes sir?" the man's voice replied.
"Where the hell are we?"
"A few minutes out of Metropolis sir."
"I'll double you pay if you get us back there and loose the guys following us."
"Yes sir!"
"Okay- now that's sorted out. Turn around Sullivan."
"Huh?"
"I need to take my pants off so turn the hell around!"
Chloe grinned, feeling just a twinge of evil.
"Aw. is Lex afraid I might see his little boy parts?"
"Hey- there's nothing little about my boy parts!"
"Of course not- then why the sudden shyness?"
"I just don't want you to be so incredibly turned on by my lack of clothing that you jump on me again."
"What! I didn't jump on you!"
"Whatever you say Sullivan. Try to restrain yourself please." Lex said condescendingly as the pants flew off with a swift zipper sound.
"Why do your boxers have frills on them?" Chloe asked raising an eyebrow at the upper edge of his blue underwear. The paused at her remark, thoroughly insulted.
"Sullivan please... Calvin Klein doesn't put frills on men's boxers... these are merely for extra hold made for the charismatic man on the move who-"
"-secretly wishes he were a woman?" Chloe ended off with a laugh. "I'm sorry Lex- but I lived with Lana Lang for a year, I know frills when I see 'em."
"They're tassels!"
"Frills!"
"Tassels!"
"Frills!
"Tassels!"
"Either way- it's still very gay. Is their something you're not telling me Luthor...?"
"Ah! For once in your life will you just admit that I'm right and you're wrong about the manly tassels?"
"Sorry Lex... I could swear I used to have a dress laced with the exact same lining when I was seven- from where I'm sitting, those are still frills."
"Well then maybe you need a closer look." he said moving in front of her with a grunt so she was eye level with his boxers.
"See...?"
Chloe bit her lip in concentration, studying the silky blue rim.
"Okay, they- I guess they're more of a masculine frilly thing, but still not very functional." she said, her eyes trailing up his wrinkled white shirt to meet his gaze.
"My God Sullivan- you're the hardest person to convince! Look, the *tassels* fit onto the inner drawstring that provides extra elasticity and support to the needed areas- see?"
Lex tugged on his boxers, "All firm and in control- I could have a hundred woman hanging onto it and it would still hold."
"Wishful thinking... I guess there's only one way to decide how functional they are Luthor..."
