Part 6: Transitory Satisfaction
Chloe's mouth fell open in shock, Lex's question echoing through her head as she stared at him. Her brow furrowed slightly, unconsciously frowning as she mulled over her response. She waited for some kind of continuance, an explanation of sorts for his questioning the availability of sex, but he remained quiet and motionless before her.
Lex watched her cautiously, his features neutral and unassuming, yet his body tense and charged with coiled energy. He hadn't been sure about asking the question until he'd heard the words falling from his lips and he was slightly worried what her response would be. He cringed inwardly, realizing how quickly things could go from bad to worse, depending on how her woman's brain twisted his words.
Chloe was almost at a loss for words, the sudden question echoing through her head as she continued to stare at Lex. She'd been so wrapped up in the possibility of someone else knowing about her relationship with Lex she hadn't thought much about having sex. She hadn't really been in the mood, her frazzled nerves making it impossible for her to concentrate on the mechanics of sex, never mind the emotional aspect of being intimate with Lex.
Now she was torn by the fact he was still quite focused on having sex with her. Even though he was fully aware of the repercussions of the wrong person finding out about their relationship, he was still focused on his sexual needs and she was astounded by this revelation. Internally she battled between mushy feelings of adulation at his insatiable need for her and irrational feelings of annoyance at his one-track mind.
She shook her head, partly in amusement, partly in astonishment, but mostly in annoyance. She opened her mouth to speak, thought better of it and quickly snapped her mouth shut, huffing in the process.
Lex raised his brows at her questioningly, "Well," he asked. "Are you going to answer my question or are you just going to stand there?"
Chloe eyes widened, "Give me a minute, I'm thinking..."
"Thinking? Thinking about what?" he asked.
"Whether or not I should be flattered by your lasciviousness or just plain outraged that you seem to be more concerned with the state of your cock than the state of our relationship."
Lex snorted indignantly, "What are you talking about?"
Chloe crossed her arms over her chest, glaring at him suspiciously, "We have a potentially destructive relationship crisis on our hands, and you're more concerned with playing pickle tickle than damage control. What should I think about that?"
Lex scowled at her, his fists clenching at his sides, "I don't know what you think you're talking about, but I can assure you I think nothing of the sort."
"Really?" Chloe scoffed, "Then why would you ask such an obnoxious question in the first place?"
"How was it an obnoxious question?" Lex asked incredulously, "I'd think asking for an ETA on sex would be perfectly legitimate because it takes away the ambiguity normally involved in such endeavors. Knowing in advance would make it easier, since I'd know not to bother you with my sexual advances until the time in which you specified."
Chloe's jaw dropped, "Are you out of your mind?" she asked flatly.
"What??"
Chloe blinked at him, "Have you lost all sense of logic, or did I miss something here?"
Lex stared at her in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"Well, I must've missed the part when sex became an issue in our relationship. Last I knew, we took every available opportunity to fuck like mad and now all of a sudden you're inquiring as to the next date of copulation. I just don't get it. When did you start feeling sexually deprived?"
Lex looked at her curiously, "I don't feel deprived." He muttered grouchily.
Chloe sighed heavily, "You don't feel deprived…then what's the problem?"
Lex tilted his head at her, "I'm horny." He said bluntly.
Chloe stared at him for a few moments, his choice of words washing over her as laughter bubbled in her chest. "You're…horny…" she giggled.
Lex's glared at her, "And why is that so funny?" he asked defensively.
Chloe smirked at him, "Oh, it's not really. I just find your use of horny rather amusing. I figured you'd always use lascivious or lecherous. Horny seems so quaint coming from you."
"Well, just forget it then." Lex grumbled.
Chloe giggled again, "No, there's no reason to forget your horniness. I suppose you might be able to talk me into helping you out with your…lustful predicament…if you're nice to me that is…"
Lex peered at her skeptically, "Nice? Nice how?"
Chloe closed the short distance between them, licking her lips invitingly as she stopped in front of him. She leaned forward, raising herself on her toes, painting his lips with her hot breath. "I'm sure you'll think of…something." She breathed.
Lex gasped, his gaze focused on her glistening lips as she spoke. He leaned down, intent on kissing her, groaning softly as she backed away at the last second. He raised his eyes to meet hers, growling at the amusement sparkling in her green depths. "Chloe…baby…" he breathed helplessly.
She gazed up at him with interest, her fingers brushing over the bulge in the front of his pants teasingly. She smirked at him, her eyes burning hotly, reveling in the effect she had over him. "What do you want, Lex?" she asked throatily.
He leaned toward her again, his lips seeking hers hungrily, his growl of frustration even louder as she once again pulled away from him. "Damn it, Chloe, quit moving…" he muttered.
Chloe chuckled huskily, "Maybe you're not being persuasive enough…"
Lex inhaled sharply, his lustful gaze becoming determined and intent. He grasped her by her arms before she had a chance to move away from him, pulling her closer to him and enveloping her in his embrace. He leaned over her, rubbing his nose against her cheek affectionately, "Is this persuasive enough for you?"
Chloe snorted, "I think you could do better."
He tightened his arms around her, shifting his body so his arousal was pressing into her belly. He pushed against her, grunting as she met his thrust, her body moving with his. He brushed his lips over hers, his tongue flickering gently, invitingly. He nudged her legs apart with his knee, rubbing his hard thigh against her core teasingly. "Is that better?"
Chloe gasped, "You're getting…closer…"
Lex chuckled, his breathing picking up slightly as she rocked on his leg, the motion creating pleasant friction against his arousal. He dropped his arms from around her body, quickly moving his hands up and cupping the back of her head in his palms. He held her firmly, smirked at the flare of desire burning in her eyes, kissed them shut then placed soft kissed along her cheek.
Chloe moaned loudly, gutturally, deep in her throat, as Lex's lips left tingling trails on her skin. She tried to turn her head, to capture his lips with hers, but he evaded her, continuing his oral assault along her jaw to her ear. She whimpered as he mouthed her earlobe, exhaling as he sucked the sensitive flesh into his mouth and bit down gently.
Releasing her earlobe he licked down her neck, lips, teeth and tongue working her pulse point. She bucked instinctively, rubbing her core against his thigh as she leaned into him, her breath panting as desire overwhelmed her. "Lex…" she whimpered, bringing her hands up and grasping his wrists tightly, trying to force the contact she craved.
He left a wet trail from her neck to her jaw, "What do you want, Chloe?" he breathed, using her words against her.
Chloe moaned as he placed soft kisses along her jaw, "Oh God…Lex…kiss me…"
"What?" he asked innocently. "I didn't hear you say please…"
Chloe grunted, glaring at the top of his smooth head as he kissed down her neck and along her collar bone, "Asshole," she muttered. "Kiss me…please…"
Lex chuckled against her, nipping at the smooth line of her collar bone before moving upwards. He kissed up her neck and along her jaw once more, pulling back slightly before reaching her lips, "Well…since you asked so nicely…" he murmured.
"Shut up and kiss me, Lex." She growled, tilting her head back in invitation.
Lex smiled against her lips briefly then quickly angled her head, sealing their moths together in a searing kiss. She parted her lips slightly, sighing into his mouth as his tongue dipped, his lips firm and sweet against hers. She licked his upper lip, sucking gently as she urged him closer, lightly biting him in anticipation.
Lex tightened his hands in her hair, keeping her immobile as he tilted his head, plunging his tongue into her hot mouth and tangling with hers. He retreated, sucking her tongue into his mouth hungrily, her moan of pleasure reverberating through his body to his pulsing cock. He increased the intensity of his kiss, using teeth and tongue to push her over the edge, to saturate them both with lust.
Chloe returned his kiss with equal fervor, bringing her hands up and forcing him to release her head. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer, devouring him with her mouth, her tongue seeking and urgent against his. She panted, rubbing herself on his leg, pushing her belly against the hard bulge in his pants.
Lex groaned at the pressure on his cock, tearing his lips from hers, gasping for breath as she continued to move against him. "Chloe…baby…" he breathed, "Where can we…"
Chloe pulled away from him slightly, her gaze flying around the room in search of a decent location. "Fuck…I…" she shook her head in bewilderment.
Lex growled, pushing her back against the door and pressing his hard body into hers. "Don't worry about it…this'll be….fine…" he said as he swooped down, claiming her lips before she could react, his hands already unfastening her pants and pushing them down her body.
Chloe kicked off her shoes, helping to push her pants down her legs and onto the floor. She continued to kiss him voraciously, her tongue delving into his mouth, stroking over his teeth, fluttering wantonly. She tugged his shirt up, fumbling with the fastening of his pants, grunting in frustration as the button held fast.
She pulled away from him, glaring down at the waistband of his pants accusingly. She yanked several times, finally grinning triumphantly as the button let loose. She pulled the zipper down, reached in and pulled out his hard cock, stroking her hands over his hardness with certainty.
Lex moaned as she stroked him, his hips thrusting into her strong hands as she fondled his sensitized flesh, his eyes half-closed in pleasure. He reached out, cupping her hot sex in his hand, delving his fingers into her heat, dipping into the wetness of her arousal. "Fuck, Chloe…you're soaked…" he groaned.
She moved closer to him, releasing his cock and lifting her leg to give him better access to her core. She urged him on with soft moans and whimpers, until he put his arm under her leg, supporting her as he explored her depths. "Lex…eh…yes…oh…fuck…" she moaned, her core already beginning to twitch around his thrusting fingers.
Lex clenched his jaw as her inner muscles began to flutter and her moans increased in volume. His cock pulsed urgently and he roared mutely, pulling his fingers from her core then yanking her closer to him, pushing his clothing out of the way. He bent his knees and aligned his hardness with her quivering depths, pulling her leg up higher, spreading her even wider for his thrust.
Chloe thrust towards him, taking the head of his cock inside her, tightening around him and earning a loud moan from him. She whimpered as he pushed into her, her wet channel yielding to his length, her arms clinging to his shoulders, her fingers digging into the tight sinew under his shirt. She groaned loudly, bucking her hips as much as the position allowed, trying to force movement out of him as remained immobile inside her. "Lex…please…" she moaned.
"Fuck." Lex grunted, his jaw clenched as he tried to get his body under control. "Don't move."
Chloe bucked urgently, "Please…it's okay…" she babbled, too far gone to make sense, "Won't…much…"
Lex growled loudly, pulling out of her slowly then pushing back into her, her wet flesh clinging to him deliciously. He adjusted his grip on her leg, moving his free hand to grip her ass firmly, lifting her against him and pushing her back against the wall with his weight. He sunk into her further, urging her to wrap her legs are his waist as he began thrust into her forcefully.
Chloe wrapped her legs around him, holding onto his upper body, but letting him push her fully back against the door. She rocked with him, rotating her hips as best she could as he started to slam up into her, pleasure exploding every time his substance connected with her G-spot. She moaned louder, sobbing brokenly, her inner muscles tightening uncontrollably as he jerked against her almost violently, his breath hot on her neck as he sunk his teeth into her pulse point.
Lex shouted against her neck, her inner muscles closing around him, his pleasure beginning to crest. He tried to control it, tried to will his release back, yet he still thrust into her wildly, lost in the rapture of her body. "Fuck…baby…I can't…" he muttered thickly, his thrusts becoming short and erratic.
"Lex…come…" she moaned, lost in the pleasurable sounds and actions of his body in hers. "Please…come…"
Lex roared with approval, her words pulsing through him, his balls tightening as he felt his release closing in on him. He pushed into her, his orgasm rushing over him, and he came powerfully inside her, his cock pulsing within her depths. He groaned in relief, continued to thrust as he heard her loud moans of pleasure.
Chloe felt his cock throb inside her as he came, his hot seed pulsing into her core, pushing her over the edge. She whimpered loudly, her wet channel quivering as she convulsed over him, her legs tightening around him and pulling him close to her. She shattered fiercely, her core pulsing on his cock, her head falling forward as she bit her hand fisted in Lex's shirt, effectively muffling the scream that fell from her lips.
She collapsed against him, burying her head against his neck as she gasped for breath, tiny aftershocks of pleasure still causing her to shudder around him. "I love you…" she whispered, kissing his neck softly.
"I love you too." He answered, rubbing his cheek against her hair as he helped her to stand on her shaky legs. He continued to lean into her, pulling her against him and wrapping his arms around her. He closed his eyes, recording the moment to memory for warmth in the heart of loneliness.
She burrowed closer to him, returning his embrace just as intensely, pulling him as close to her as possible and holding him tightly. She squeezed him, stroking her hands over his back, kissing his neck, tasting him, memorizing him. Trying to force back her reservations, her fears; failing miserably as her heart sank.
He held her close to him, breathing her in, letting everything he cherished about her surround him. He stroked her back, felt her body become tense and unyielding, frowning at the sudden change in her body. He released her, stepping back and adjusting his clothing as he watched her redress. "What wrong, Chloe?" he asked softly. "Please tell me."
"It's nothing Lex, I just worry about you…that's all." she whispered, gazing at him almost shyly.
Lex looked at her mildly, "Worry about what?" he asked.
"You, us, everything." She said softly, her eyes intent on his face. "I worry about a lot of things in regards to you; both in terms of yourself and our relationship."
"What do you mean, Chloe? I can't do anything to ease your anxiety if you don't tell me exactly what has you so worried."
"Well, I'm always fearful for your life." She said softly, her brow furrowing at the thought of something happening to him. "There's always someone out there wanting to hurt you – to kill you.
"Nothing's going to happen to me. I have a lot of security working for me and I've taken every precaution available. There's nothing for you to worry about." He replied.
Chloe looked up at him skeptically, "Okay, as if any of that's ever done you any good in the past." She snorted, rolling her eyes mockingly.
Lex smirked, then "True. But things are different now. I'm in a more secure environment and there are no meteor freaks here to attack me. Everything will be fine, you'll see. Now, what else?" he asked, effectively changing the subject.
"Fine, change the subject, but I don't feel any better about it. You have a knack for getting yourself into dangerous positions and I'm sure running for Senate has only heightened the risk."
Lex gave her a stern look, "Come on, Chloe…quit stalling and get to the rest…"
Chloe looked at him dubiously, indecision evident on her face. "Well…I don't like to keep bringing it up, but my other big worry is Lana," she began, holding her hand up as he quickly tried to cut in, "Let me finish." She said, taking a deep breath before continuing. "I know you love me, Lex. I know you've just been using Lana, manipulating her into whatever plan you have for her and deep down I believe this to be the truth. But there's always going to be a paranoid part of me that believes you'll decide she's what you want. That someday I'll wake up and all of this – you, me, us – it'll all have been a wonderful dream and I'll find you married to her and you'll have 2.5 kids and be attending joyous Christmas parties with Jonathan Kent as a willing guest."
"Chloe…" Lex whispered, stopping when she shook her head at him.
"I can't help it, Lex. Sometimes things get to be too much and I'm left with only my insecurities to keep me company. In reality, the princess always wins and I've yet to see a time where a lone fair maiden ever beat her out for the affections of the prince. It's been written in stone over and over again and it's difficult to ignore history and accept that this time will be different, that this time I'll come out on top, my heart safe and sound, protected in the hands of a man who truly loves me."
Lex cupped her face in his palms, leaning into her and placing a soft kiss on her parted lips, "I love you, Chloe," he breathed against her mouth, his gaze branding her as he spoke. "And no vapid brunette will ever change that. 2.5 kids, joyous Christmas parties, Jonathan Kent, princesses and fair maidens be damned. It's always been you Chloe. I've been a goner from day one and now that I have you, I'll never let you go."
Chloe frowned slightly, indecision marring her features, "How do you know you won't come to your senses and --"
Lex placed a finger over her lips, cutting off her question, "Don't ever say that Chloe." He said thickly, his gaze not wavering from hers. "No matter what happens, remember that in the end, when all is said and done, you'll always be the woman for me. The only one. Just you…"
Chloe took a shuddering breath, tears pooling in her eyes at the emotion evident in his voice. "Promise?"
"Forever."
