He was waiting for her in her apartment when she got there. He sat there on the couch with the late afternoon sun streaming through the window behind him, creating a mystical haze in the dim room. He had an aire of cockiness about him- more so than usual.
She froze for a second, shocked to see him sitting there on her couch. She stared at him with a look of genuine confusion.
"Lex. What are you doing here?"
"I got a message on my cell that you wanted to see me," he replied in a nonchalant tone.
"So you just let yourself in?" she asked in an equally baffled and uneasy half-laugh.
"My bad," he replied in an extremely matter-of-fact fashion. "Would you like me to go?"
"No, no.. it's ok. You just... surprised me."
He got up off the couch and walked over to her. "I've been doing that to a lot of people." He gave her a small innocent smirk as he took the brown paper bag of groceries out of her hands and carried it over to the counter. There was something in that smirk that was different than usual, but it still took her breath away for a moment.
"So what can I do for Miss Lang this afternoon?" he asked as he unpacked her groceries.
"I wanted to talk to you about Jason," she said, with a look of uneasiness in her eyes.
"Oh. Him," was his flat response as a look of annoyance came across his face.
She let her words out in a rush, without looking up at him. "I... uh.. really appreciate everything that you've already told me about Jason and his mom, but do you... do you really think that--"
"What I think, Lana, is you deserve better. You deserve to be with someone who recognizes how extraordinary you are." His reply was sharp, yet extremely sensual.
He swaggered towards her, closer and closer. She felt her breath catching in her chest. Her pulse quickened. He brought his hand up to meet her face and caressed her cheek with his fingertips. She flinched slightly, her nerves getting the best of her, as her cheeks flushed under the burn of his smooth touch. It was more that she ever expected, yet not nearly all that she wanted.
"Lex, what are you doing?" she asked, unsure of why he was acting like this suddenly.
His reply was deep and soft, his eyes burning through her. "What I've always wanted to."
Grasping her wrist roughly, he leaned down and kissed her hard on the mouth. All the blood instantly rushed to her head. She pulled away abruptly. Breathing heavily, she stared into his eyes. They were wild, aroused. She knew that something about it wasn't right, but the heat radiating off his body was painfully smothering. In one swift movement, she threw herself into his arms.
Their lips met again, but the kiss was softer this time. Eventually, his tongue made its way into her mouth, making the kisses longer and more demanding. They fought over control of each other's mouths, every second getting more and more passionate.
His hands started to explore her body, peeling off her clothes, grasping every inch of her. She fiercly unbuttoned his shirt and dug her nails into the smooth muscles of his chest and stomach. She moaned louder and louder as his skin touched hers.
Finally, in one sweeping motion, he picked her up into his arms and carried her to her bed. He threw her roughly down onto it. Just before his body went down on hers, she thought to herself that something about this just wasn't right.
But he'd just said everything she'd ever wanted to hear, and in that moment, that was all that mattered.
