Chapter 5: Uncompromising Postions

Two days had already passed and Chloe could feel a strain in the relationship she had with Bruce. This thing with Lex wouldn't go away. It seemed to be haunting her, taking her to a place where she didn't want to explore. Was it wrong? Something just didn't feel right. When Bruce kissed her she felt safe, but when Lex had kissed her two days earlier, she felt like she was on top of the world and it wasn't right. She was angry at Lex for doing this to her. For putting her in a postion where she was highly uncomfortable in. Not only that but lately it seems that Bruce was hiding something from her. She heard him at night talking on his phone. She couldn't quite make out the words but she knew something was up.

Chloe was still in bed when she heard a knock on the door. "Come in."

Lana creeped in holding a huge bouqet of white lily's. "Seems like somebody is either apologizing or is expecting something." She set the flowers on the night stand next to Chloe's bed.

Scooting Chloe over, Lana sat on the side of the bed and handed her the card. "Open it."

"Nosey a bit much aren't you?" Chloe smiled.

"Well aren't I always?" Lana chuckled.

Chloe opened the card and began to read;

I'm sorry. I know that I've hurt you and I don't want to go down that path again. Words can't describe how much you really mean to me. I'd give up everything I have to take it all back just to feel you in my arms again. Please except these flowers as a token of my apologies.

Chloe's mind wondered then her face froze in an instant. "Oh, my god......it's from...Lex."

"LEX???" Lana screamed.

"Shhh, shut up." Chloe hit Lana on the arm.

"Ow." Lana rubbed her arm and picked up one of the Lily's out of the vase. "So why lillies?"

Chloe formed a little smile. "He remembered. They were my mom's favorite flower. The scent of them reminded me of her. They smell like her perfume. He's the only one I ever told that too."

Chloe got up and decided she would pay him a visit to say thank you. Bruce was out at some meeting anyways so he wouldn't really notice that she was gone. She threw on a pair of low rise jeans, her red tanktop with a sheer white blouse, and her black boots. She didn't really know what she was going to say when she saw him other than thank you, but she knew that she had to see him.

------------------------------------------------------

Lex sat in his study going over some paperwork from LexCorp. His father told him he had to start downsizing or he'd be paying a visit which Lex didn't want. So instead of firing alot of people, he was trying to figure out another way. He was so wrapped up he didn't notice her come in.

"Busy?" Chloe whispered as she walked across the room towards one of the chairs.

Lex glanced up at the sound of her voice. Only when he saw her did a smile appear on his face.

"Chloe, this is an unexpected surprise. What brings you to the manor?"

"You, well, your flowers that I got." She smiled at him.

"I'm glad you like them," he rose from his chair and walked around the desk until he was standing in front of her. "I wanted to tell you I was sorry in person, but I didn't know how well that would go over."

"It's ok, really Lex. I mean I didn't mean to run off after," she glanced down at the ground not wanting to look at him.

"...after I kissed you?" Lex took his hand and lifted her chin up so their eyes would meet. "Chloe. Something came over me when I saw you again. These feelings I have for you can't just go away, believe me I tried to move on, but your a hard one to get over Miss Sullivan."

Chloe smiled at him,"I never thought I'd hear someone say that."

"Your a special woman Chloe, and don't ever think otherwise. Bruce is very lucky to have you." Lex took her hand in his. He was being sincere and she knew it. She acted so stupid the other day, but seeing him again, she just didn't want to go through it all again.

Without thinking she wrapped her arms around him. Lex was shocked at first but then welcomed the hug, embrassing her. His strong arms made her feel safe and it felt like this is where she belonged. Moving away slowly her face was next to his. He leaned in a bit closer, and when she didn't back away he went for it. At first the kiss was slow and soft and when he licked her bottom lip with his tongue she opened her mouth, inviting him to explore. Without hesitation he dove in.

Chloe slid her arm up his back and rubbed the back of his neck. Their tongues were exploring each other, massaging one another.Lex leaned back against his desk as his hands moved down to her waist. Rubbing her skin by her stomach he reached for the button on her jeans. Chloe moaned at his touch. She wanted more. She slid her hand up the front of his chest to the top button undoing it slowly.

When the she reached the last button, she pulled the shirt out of his pants and opened it to reaveal his bare chest. She kissed her way down his neck.

"God, Chloe...I've wanted this for so long."

She smiled at him as he pulled her close again. He reached for her blouse removing it from her body. He was about to lift her shirt up when they heard a voice.

"Sir I hate to interupt," came a voice in the study.

Chloe and Lex jumped and she backed away wiping any lipstick smudges she might have.

He on the otherhand was pissed. "What have I told you about knocking! Don't you fucking understand english!"

The servant was terrified."Yes sir, but there is a Mr. Wayne here to see you and he said it was urgent."

Chloe turned towards Lex, with her eyes wide open. "Bruce is here?Why is he hear, to see you for that matter?"

Lex ran his hand over his bare scalp and sighed deeply. "Chloe there's something you need to know."
