Phishz I tried to respond to your reviews on the review page but it didn't work so I will do it here. Thank you for the reviews and the good wishes for my trip, happy reading.

"Where is he?" Lex demanded as he threw open the door to his father's room in the mansion.

"Whom are you referring son?"

"Don't fuck with me dad. Clark! Where is Clark?"

"How would I know? I don't keep tabs on all your little friends Lex."

As Lex closed the distance he was taken aback only slightly by the sudden knowledge that he had interrupted a rather private act between his father and his fiancé.

Sarah wiped her mouth as she stood up from beneath the desk where Lionel was sitting.

"Nice Dad." Lex said without surprise or care for that matter. "Now where is he?"

Sarah came from behind the desk and walked towards Lex. He watched her with suspicion.

"Is everything in order for your wedding Lex?"

"What?" He looked back from Sarah to his father.

"Is everything in order for your wedding?" Lionel patiently repeated.

"Everything except Clark. I need to ask him to be the best man but I can't find him and I know I have you to thank for that."

"So accusatory Lex. I am hurt." Lionel smirked.

"Lex, I will not be ignored. I am standing here waiting for a hello or some acknowledge." Sarah whined.

"Oh I'm sorry dear. I guess I forgot my manners what with my father's dick in your mouth." Lex retorted.

Sarah's eyes narrowed and she smiled knowingly.

"What is so fucking funny?"

"Nothing. It's just that I know where your precious farm brat is and soon Sam will too. Sam has been dying to get some action since his last time with you."

Lex jumped into action grabbing Sarah's throat, "Where is he?"

"Lex!" Lionel's voice shattered the scene in the room. Lex immediately let go of Sarah and looked to his father for answers.

"Clark is fine. In fact he is closer than you think. If I see you lay your hands on her one more time I will ensure you never see Clark again." He said slamming his palm on the table with a rarely displayed anger.

Sarah walked over to Lionel and stood beside him coughing slightly but smirking nonetheless.

"Because of the issues you seem to be having with the arrangement I have with Sarah, in regards to you, I feel I have no choice but to up the anti."

"What are you talking about?"

Lionel turned to look at the TV as it turned on and an image of Jonathon and Clark filled the screen. Lex could see they were locked in a dimly lit room and Clark was chained to the wall. He looked weak and he was watching Jonathon's face intently as he explained his involvement with Lionel.

"Where Dad?" Lex repeated with a mixture of worry and threat.

"Don't worry Lex, you'll be seeing them soon enough. But first I want to show you something." Lex watched his father untrustingly," With this remote I can do some serious damage to our mutual friend there. With a touch of this button I can inflict a great deal of pain." As he spoke he hit the remote and the lead cover on Clark's collar slid back exposing the kryptonite. Lex watched confused as the image of Clark doubled over and screamed in pain. Jonathon was shouting out for it to stop and saying something about doing what Lionel wanted. Lionel pushed the button again and the pain appeared to stop.

"What was Jonathon taking about Dad?" Lex asked confused over what his father could possibly want Jonathon to do.

"Don't worry about it Lex, he is not your concern, Clark is. Seems your young friend is allergic, for lack of a better word, to meteor rocks. With this remote I can inflict pain, unconsciousness or death. With this remote here though," Lionel paused to pull a second remote from his pocket. He passed it to Sarah who smiled knowingly. "That remote can only be used to inflict pain on Clark. I am giving it to Sarah and one to her bodyguard in a last ditch effort to curb your rebellious ways. I am doing this for you, for your future Lex." He crossed in front of the desk and placed his hands on Lex's shoulders.

"You are completely out of your mind."

"Sarah, take your fiancé here to your room. He needs some rest before your big wedding tomorrow."

"Gladly." Sarah smiled sweetly at Lionel. "Maybe I will come back later and we can finished what we started."

"Don't bother dear. I have a funny feeling I might be otherwise engaged."

Lex looked back at his father considering the hidden meaning within the words but dismissed his concern quickly.

"Let's go Lex." She directed. He looked at her briefly without moving. "Now!" She clarified strongly as she pushed the button and the room filled again with Clark's cries of pain.

"Okay, I'm coming." Lex jolted into action, quickening his pace towards her. Lionel simply watched and smiled with satisfaction.

"Good boy." She pushed the button again and the screams stopped. "I'm going to enjoy this."

As they made their way down the hallway Lex contemplated the most recent events. He wasn't sure how this was all spiraling out of his control yet again. He had thought he knew the stakes of the game. Get married, move to Metropolis and Clark would be safe. But now Clark was locked up and Lex wasn't too sure of much more. He did know one thing for sure; Clark was going to feel a lot of pain courtesy of Lex learning the new rules of the game.

"Get in the room." Sarah snapped as she opened the door to Lex's room.

"Good night Sarah." He attempted to dismiss her as he turned to shut the door.

"Not so fast there rich boy. We still have a little matter of trying to choke me to resolve. You know our relationship needs to be built on trust and respect. You will respect me and trust that there will be consequences to your actions if you don't."

"Fine. What do you want?" Lex conceded quickly as she thumbed the remote.

"Good question. What do I want?" She toyed. "Oh I've got it!" He watched her feeling very tired and not at all amused.

"Take off my cloths." Lex's one eyebrow dipped as he looked at her questioningly. She said nothing at his delay; she just showed him the remote as she firmly pushed the button. Lex lurched forward and started undoing her blouse. His hands were shaking with the restraint of not slamming her to the ground and grabbing the remote but he knew it wouldn't do any good. Sam was outside the door with the same style remote and would no doubt hear her scream.

She watched his internal conflict and smiled pushing the button again. This was going to be so much easier now that she could reinforce her control with the flick of her finger.

Lex continued to undo the buttons of her shirt as she breathed softly into the nape of his neck. He tried to keep his focus on the buttons but was shocked from his thoughts when she reached forward to massage his penis through his jeans.

Lex jumped back at the intimacy of the touch. "Ah ah ah Lex" She coyly reminded waving the remote between her thumb and forefinger. He stepped back in to her space and continued with the buttons. Her hand went back to its previous place and she ran her other hand along the back of his neck.

He leaned forward to pull her shirt off her shoulders and down her back and as he did her lips met his ear and she began to nibble.

"Sarah." He exhaled. "I am really not in the mood for this."

"Like I care what you want. Haven't you figured this deal out yet Lex? This is about what I want." He shook his head slowly bending to undo her pants.

Once he had removed all her cloths he stood in front of her trying not to look at her.

"Good now fetch me my robe and slippers."

He did so without hesitation, anything to get this woman clothed again.

"Draw me a bath while I watch some TV. I think my new favorite show is on." She joked as she turned the TV on and the screen showed Clark and his father sitting in their cell.

Lex couldn't bare to just stand there. He turned his back and walked into the bathroom. As the bath was filling Lex's mind turned over and over the possibilities to rid himself of this woman. He could drop the radio into the bathwater; strangle her with her bathrobe. He had formulated a few plans when he heard her walk up behind him.

"Get in the bath Lex."

"What! Why?"

"Because I told you to so do it now."

He stood up and stripped down. His face took on the shade of embarrassment as he recalled the last time he was naked and helpless in front of her.

"Come now Lex. We are going to be married in less than 24 hours. Don't you think you should get over your shyness? Is it that you are just shy or is it that you would rather I was Clark?" She pushed his limit of control.

Lex stood there with his lip twitching slightly from grinding his teeth together in anger.

"Get in Lex."

He turned and slipped into the bath feeling falsely relieved to be under the see through curtain of water. She climbed in between his legs and leaned back against his chest sighing with content. Lex was amazed at her audacity. How could she turn this into something seemingly so intimate, so sensual, when he was on the verge of snapping her neck.

She relaxed slowly and he watched the remote in her hand start to waiver. He reached around her body and began to massage her chest and then up to her shoulders and neck all the while watching the remote. He slowly moved her hair away from the back of her neck and began to gently kiss her exposed skin. She moaned as she began to relax even further.

"God you are beautiful when you are like this." He quietly whispered in her ear.

He watched the remote out of the corner of his eye. Slowly it began to slip unnoticed from her fingers until it fell noiselessly on the bath mat on the floor.

Instantly, Lex placed both hands firmly on her shoulders and shoved her under the bath water. She struggled and kicked her feet trying to free herself from his grip. She slammed her head backwards and hit him square in his groin. He stifled his yelp for fear of drawing attention. She flailed her feet back and forth out of the tub and her actions knocked over a number of items on the shelf. They slammed down on the tile floor with a loud crash.

Lex swore out loud. He could hear Sam rushing into the room looking for his boss. He ran into the bathroom and stopped short at the door. Gun in hand he yelled to Lex. "Let her go right now!"

Lex held on a moment longer hoping it would be enough o finish the job.

"Now!"

Slowly he released his grip and Sam ran forward pulling Sarah from the tub. She coughed and sputtered eventually emptying the contents of her stomach on the bathroom floor. Sam reached for her robe and draped it over her shoulders. She glared up at Lex who sat watching from the bathtub.

"Get up!" Sam yelled.

Lex slowly rose from the tub and stood facing Sam with his fists clenched at his sides.

"Over here." Sam didn't yell this time and that had Lex's attention immediately.

"Boy, you really aren't too smart are you? I was waiting for you to fuck up and I knew it wouldn't take too long. Come here."

"No." Lex replied shaking his head.

"I said come here." He repeated repositioning his gun.

Lex stepped forward towards him. Sam grabbed him by the back of the neck and dragged him back into the bedroom. He forced him face down on the bed with one hand and hit his remote with the other. Instantly the room filled with Clark's screams. Lex fought against his captures weight to turn his face in the mattress towards to TV. He saw Clark squirming in pain and was filled with instant remorse for causing it.

Sam had begun undoing his belt when Lex returned his attention away from the TV. The screams from the TV were enough he couldn't bare to watch Clark's pain as well. He heard the snap of the belt as it came through the loops of Sam's pants and was whipped down across the mattress beside his face.

"I am going to enjoy every minute of this." Sam announced as he raised his arm and brought the belt down across Lex's bare ass. Lex stifled his scream by turning his face down into the mattress. "What's the matter rich boy? Never got a spanking form your old man before. Maybe that's why you have such," another whip of the belt as Sam grunted with the exertion of the force, "a problem with," and another, "respecting authority!" and another.

The blows continued until the room was filled with a mixture of painful cries from both Lex and Clark. Lex thought briefly that it was odd that he could not hear the voice of Jonathon Kent and wondered where he was during all this.

His face and the mattress were soaked from tears of pain by the time Sam finally stopped. He reached over and pressed the button on the discarded remote effectively ending the torture for Clark for now at least.

Lex heard the unsettling sound of the zipper on Sam's pants being undone and resumed his previously exhausted efforts to get away. Sam increased his grip on the back of Lex's neck. "Come on Lex, take your punishment like a man." He mocked as he stroked himself into hardness. He abandoned his member to open the cleft of Lex's ass cheeks. Lex in a very uncharacteristic fashion was beginning to beg for him to stop and he silently chastised himself for being so weak.

He felt Sam run his penis along the crack of his ass and then heard Sarah's voice as she emerged from the bathroom.

"Stop it Sam!"

"Miss he tried to kill you. He needs to be punished."

"He will be Sam but this will have to wait until all other efforts to enforce his compliance have been exhausted."

"Fine." He snipped.

"Sam!"

"Sorry ma'am." He altered his tone as he leaned down to whisper in Lex's ear. "Next time you won't be so luck you little shit."

Sam pulled Lex off the bed and Sarah threw his robe at him. He slowly put it on, still shaking from the beating and his near miss.

"Take him to his father." Sarah ordered as she opened the door to the hall and Sam led Lex out into the hallway by the back of the collar.
