Chapter 17

When Chris woke up he was extremely thirsty. He looked around the dark room for his boxers slid on his boxers and walked out of the open door and went in search of the kitchen he was also ravenously hungry. He had forgotten they'd even left it open. He was sure some of Lex's staff probably got an earful if such a thing was possible. He started down the hall but he heard what sounded like moans coming from a television that was on. He had dreamt about Sam again and the days when they were younger. He wished he could have saved him. He wished Sam would have kissed him sooner and he wished for more time with him. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and felt his face was wet. He must have cried in his sleep again.

Curious he followed the sound to an office and he found Lex watching this big ass flat screen plasma TV. They didn't even have one of those at the Manor in his time. "What's up?" Chris said from where he leaned against the door frame. "Nothing I'm just watching some TV." Lex said nonchalantly pressing a button on the remote quickly. Chris had already seen the porn he had been watching and he made a mental note to find that later.

"I didn't wake you did I?" Lex asked. "No." Chris said. "You can come in here if you want." Lex said. Chris walked into the room. "So catching up on your soaps?" Chris asked with a smirk as he sat down on the couch beside Lex. Lex gave him a look. "You got laid tonight I didn't." Lex said. "You heard us!" Chris asked. Lex nodded. He sighed deeply. "Sorry did we disturb you or gross you out or anything?" Chris asked. Lex shook his head. "I can't I left the door open and you heard us." Chris shook his head in frustration. "I'm over it. So you were in here jerking off?" Chris asked changing the subject. "I was about to." Lex said.

Chris was shocked he didn't think a guy as rich and handsome as was Lex would have to sit alone in the dark and jerk off to bad porn. Just the thought of Lex sitting in the dark jerking off made Chris start to get a little hot. "Really?" Chris asked. Lex nodded. "I thought guys like you and JFK paid hookers or showgirls to get off with." Chris said. Lex laughed. "I want something more than just a good fuck." Lex said.

"Sometimes a good fuck is enough." Chris said. "Have you ever made love to some one you had a deep connection with?" Lex asked. Chris nodded. "I haven't." Lex was doing that thing again. That thing where he locked eyes with Chris and he could never seem to break the gaze. He was just falling into Lex's blue green eyes. He could feel the pounding of his own heart. Being near Lex awakened feelings he thought were dead buried. Feelings he thought died with Sam and Bianca. He so needed to get the hell out of there But he just couldn't leave him alone.

Lex finally shifted his gaze. He tried not to reach over and grab Chris and kiss him. He managed to restrain himself. He knew the boy was straight. He had heard him fucking Smallville's Fairy princess in the next room. He felt the familiar twinge of jealously toward Lana that he often felt when Clark gushed about her. "If you want to finish whatever… you were going to do. I'm going to go find some snacks. We sort of skipped dinner." Chris said standing and stretching giving Lex the opportunity to admire his half naked form.

"You got Lana to have sex with you without even buying her dinner?" Lex asked shocked but his shock didn't stop him from checking Chris out. Tall and lean. Smooth pale skin over hard muscle. Chris had a remarkable six pack though Lex doubted he even worked out. He was surprised to find out Chris and Lana were having sex. He was even more surprised that they had left the door open. He never looked in it but he had heard plenty from down the hall. He had always thought Lana was some sort of prude. He was astonished enough to find out she was going at it with a dude she just met. But he didn't even buy her dinner first.

"She owed me. She nearly got me killed twice." Chris said. "That dirty whore. I didn't think she had it in her." Lex said chuckling. "She's a real freak she is the one who suggested we leave the door open." Chris said. "Lana Lang. Exhibitionist. Who would have thunk it?" Lex said. "So how was it?" Lex asked. "A gentleman never tells." Chris said as he walked over to the door. "That means you can tell me." Lex said. Chris turned back to face him with a mischievous smirk on his gorgeous face.

"Sorry I turned the wrong phrase. I'm not allowed to disclose the intimate and erotic details of what happened in that bedroom tonight. You'll just have to wait like everyone else until it comes out on DVD." Chris said and then he turned and stalked out of the room and down the hall. Lex smiled to himself when Chris returned. "I just remembered I have no idea where the kitchen is. Could you show me?" Chris asked he sounded like a shy little boy and looked like one too with his dark hair falling into those amazing eyes of his.

"Yeah sure." Lex said. He followed Chris out into the hallway and then he led the way to the kitchen. "The most of the staff goes home for the night. Except for my security. If you want I can make you something." Lex said. "I think I can manage. But I'll need some help and Phoebe is my kitchen buddy and she hasn't got in yet would you mind subbing?" Chris asked.

"Aren't you going to let me know what we are making?" Lex asked after five minutes of hunting for whatever ingredients Chris asked for. "Breakfast. What the hell else would we be making at 5 a fucking clock in the morning?" Chris asked. "With you things are never normal." Lex said bending over to look for a skillet for Chris to make omelets in.

"There are a ton of skillets under here which one did you say you wanted?" Lex asked with his head halfway in a cabinet. Chris was staring at his ass in those black silk pj bottoms and damming himself for doing so. "Preferably a medium sized Stainless steel pan." Chris said remembering what he was supposed to be doing. He turned over bacon that was sizzling in another pan.

It wasn't long before Chris had prepared enough food for twenty people. Lex watched in awe. Chris hadn't really needed his help except for to locate cook ware and utensils most of which Lex had no earthly idea where find. "How'd you become such a culinary genius?" Lex asked. "My mom was a chef." Chris replied the words were clipped detached and yet so full of feeling. Lex looked at Chris but Chris didn't meet his eyes.

He wanted to avoid the subject but he was just as curious as Chloe could be sometimes when she pumped him for information about his mother. "What happened to her?" Lex asked. Chris turned to face him. There was hurt in his clear green eyes which Lex had noticed in the short time he had known him could change from blue to a stormy green depending on his mood. There was pancake batter on his cheek. Lex wanted to reach out and wipe it away more than he'd ever wanted anything at that moment.

"Nothing yet." Chris said turning back to his work at the stove. Lex didn't completely understand but he knew well enough to leave it alone. Chris turned the stove off and looked at Lex again this time in the eye. There was something there something he wanted to say. Chris shook his head. "Do you have strawberries? I think this would work with strawberries." Chris said. The words had more feeling than the ones before it. Lex could not understand this boy.

He had no idea how old Chris was whenever he thought he had an accurate guess Chris said or did something else that either lowered or raised Lex's estimate. Before he knew it Lex was reaching out and touching Chris' cheek wiping away flour there. Chris closed his eyes and leaned into the touch but then the sound of a loud yawn startled them both.

"Do either of you have the slightest inkling of an idea what time it is?"

They both turned to see Lana who was clad in only a white camisole that was practically see through and some white panties. "Normal people are asleep at this time." She told them. "Ooh food." She moaned. "Just hang on a second Missy. I am not finished yet you and go and wait for me to serve you in the dining room." Chris said. "Okay." Lana said as she stalked out of the room. Her skimpy lace boy shorts didn't cover much. "Nice glutes." Lex said as he followed her out.
