The Only Woman – Chapter 14

"Sorry, I'll leave."

"No, you don't have to; you just freaked me out a little. Actually, if you could hand me that wash cloth over there." Lex turned around and picked up the towel and threw it at her. He moved over toward her on the step and leaned over.

Brushing her wet hair out of her face, he ran his hand down her face to her shoulder. "You have really grown into a beautiful young woman."

"Too bad other people haven't seen it."

"I know who you're referring to. Chloe, don't think about how he feels; if he wants to waste his life on Lana, let him. Frankly there aren't many men that could satisfy you."

Chloe sat up slightly but still covered enough by the deep bubbles not to expose herself. "Thank you. I guess I have always had problems with guys." She shivered in the warm water watching Lex lean over closer to her.

"That's your problem Chloe." He leaned over and nipped at her ear before speaking. "You don't need a guy; you need a man."

"And you're my man?" She tried to act sarcastic but started slipping deeper in the water as he came closer to her. She squealed slightly when Lex removed his shirt. "What are you doing?" She started to squirm in the tub.

Stepping in the tub with her, he straddled her legs and knelt in front of her, careful not to press too hard against her knees. Leaning over, he balanced on his all fours and kissed her. She opened her mouth and let his tongue slide in as she moved her head to the side. Moving his arm behind her, he pulled her up into him and pressed her bare chest to his. Laying her back against the bath pillow, he ran his fingers down her chest as she shuddered. Looking into his eyes, she melted. Then giggled. Lex kissed her. "What?"

"You're still in your pants." Chloe giggled again and then bit her lip at the comment. Her eyes widened as Lex fell back into the tub and splashed her.

"Ok, fair enough." Lex slid to the other side of the two person tub and slipped out of his pants. Throwing the soaked silk on the floor, he slid further down into the water and smirked. "Better?"

Chloe blushed partly in embarrassment. "Uhh, sure." She felt Lex's foot rub against her side and flinched.

"You're ticklish?"

"Don't go there Mr. Luthor." He looked at her with disgust.

"I'm naked in a tub full of bubbles and you're calling me by my last name again." He grabbed her big toe and squeezed until she let out a little whimper. "Take it back."

Letting go of her toe, she smiled back at him and sighed in relief. Shifting her weight, she sat up and moved toward him on her all fours. He gazed over her naked, slick body, watching her bosom sway as she moved toward him. She straddled him as she leaned in to kiss him. Laying her head on his shoulder, she whispered. "Lex." Turning his head, he met her lips. "Lex." He put his hand behind her head and pulled her again. "Lex." Another kiss. She lay down on top of his wet naked body, balancing herself by hanging onto the back of his neck. "Lex, make love to me."

"Chloe."

Grabbing both sides of his head, she licked the inside of his top lip and then the bottom before nipping it between her teeth. Pulling back, she locked her eyes with him, leaning her head up from his chest to see his face. "Look, for once just let go and not think about everything. You told me you're falling in love with me, and I'm in love with you." Lex watched as the words rolled off her lips. She tried for another kiss and Lex held her away.

"You're wrong Chloe. I lied to you – I'm way beyond falling," he could barely whisper. Scooting her up in the tub, he grabbed a towel and handed her another one. Helping her out of the tub, he carried her partially covered body to the bed and ran his fingers down her bare body. She shuddered from the fire created by his light fingertips.

Sitting up to meet his touch, she looked up to see his soft steel blue eyes staring back at her. She drug her fingers down his chest, flicking at his nipples and tracing the curves of his delicately sculpted chest. Closing his eyes, he could barely contain the fire that grew in him. He placed his hands on her shoulder and squeezed delicately as her hands again mad the tour of the chest.

She watched intently as she felt his squeezes matched her intensity in touching him. At each flick of his nipples, she saw him just barely buck where he stood. It wasn't like Lex to let the woman lead, to peruse his body so well, but he wanted to feel her and this was just the beginning. He caught his breath as the last pass came closer to the obvious stiffness of his arousal.

He could feel the moment coming too soon, and he, in fact, didn't want their first time to be this way. Pulling back on her hair, she let out a little whimper and looked up at him through her dangling wet hair. Taking a better grip on her arms, he slid her back up on the bed and caressed her breasts as he pushed her back into the billowy comforter.

"Lex." Covering her mouth with his, he gently brought his body down onto hers. Sliding his hands across the sheets, he felt her legs wrap around him as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Pulling him further down to her, she whispered, "Make love to me like you want me forever."

Lifting up he looked her. Her eyes were gleaming and a genuine smile drifted across her face. Keeping her legs locked around him, she ran her fingers down his chest and his thighs. She closed her eyes as he touched her. His body was on fire; his body was harder than he could remember and was close to release. He wanted her as close before plunging into her.

Without uttering words, she pulled his face down into her chest again. Chloe's eyes floated into the back of head. She squirmed to rub her heat against him. Sitting up, he admired her vision and placed his hands on her hips.

Noticing her obvious need for attention, he slid one hand into her depths. He rubbed her slower and then faster, quickly feeling the wetness between her thighs build. Chloe bucked at the pleasure, letting out small moans that steadily increased, with his name interlaced with the groans. Rubbing her in small circles, he inserted one finger and held her back to gently hold out the buck. He returned to gently caressing her breast as he continued rubbing her center. Then stopped.

Chloe opened her eyes and saw a concerned look on his face. She could feel his hardness peaking at her entrance. "What's wrong?"

"Not to ruin the moment or anything, but you're on? Or do I need to…"

"As long as you're clean," she said with a worried face. He leaned over and kissed her.

Whispering in her ear, "Of course; I wouldn't ever hurt the person I love." I love. He had said it; not really but he had. He watched her expression change from worry to pleasure. Leaning over, he balanced on his arms, whispering in her ear, "I love you; it feels so good to say that and really mean after so long."

Still making small bucks from his thumb still rubbing her, she whispered through her pants, "I love you too." She wrapped her arms around his neck as he thrust himself up into her. She jumped at the force inside her. He pulled back in fright.

"Chloe?" Her head rocked from side to side as a tear came running out of her eye. Lex took a breath and waited. Chloe locked into his gaze and pulled her legs in around him to thrust into her again. He wiped the tear running down her face and kissed her where it had been.

Sitting up, Lex pulled her further onto him, and they both moaned. Grabbing her hips in his hands, he could barely concentrate on her gasps and whimpers of his name. She regained consciousness and ran her hands again his now glistening flesh, partly sweat and other water. Feeling her concentrate on loosening her insides, he pulled her deeper onto his now fully extended flesh. Breathing almost escaping the two of them, he increased the rhythm of his thrusts and took her hips to lead into his thrusts. Bucking in rhythm, he felt her insides squeezing on him. Pulling him down onto her, her groaning his name mixed with other words increased in volume and frequency.

"God…Lex…I'm…coming." She let out a small scream, instinctively covered by his hand and flattened out into a simple moan before feeling Lex's thrusts became harder. She felt each individual thrust and could feel herself becoming wet all over again.

He rocked his head back, balancing his hands over her now hot engorged breasts. He felt almost a fiery pain that he wanted to make last. She opened her eyes and watched his every movement. His eyes fluttered; sweat dripped onto her and scorched her already tender skin. He called her name mixed with various moans of ecstasy. She was doing this to him. "Come for me Lex."

She rubbed her hands up and down his now sweaty chest as his thrusts became harder and closer together. Grabbing her hands off his chest, he pressed them into the mattress as he caused her to buck harder with each of his thrusts. She started breathing harder and could feel herself building up to another release at every moment. She closed her eyes and listened to him call her name over and again. Pressing hard against her, he squeezed her hands and released into her as she once again tightened and released herself around him.

Collapsing his head to her side, he released his hands from hers and looked at her face. She was glowing, sweaty and glowing. "Well Mr. Luthor, was it good for you?"

Rubbing his hand up and down her side, he bit his lip. "Ehh."

Chloe raised her head and shot him a dirty look. Untangling a hand, she slapped his ass and started to pull away.

"Whoa! Still attached!" Lex pulled her now slightly smirking face to face him. Leaning in, he kissed her. The kiss was soft at best, more for lack of breath. He rubbed his fingers gently through her now tangled hair. Much quieter and meaningful, he whispered, "Chloe, no one will be able to make me happier than you have made me right now." Lex wrapped his arm underneath her still slightly writhing body and flipped her over, remarkably staying attached.

Chloe giggled, "The talented Mr. Luthor." He playfully poked her in the nose. Walking her fingers up his chest, she whispered, "This is perfect, just like this." She meant to say more but could tell from Lex's gaze, he knew exactly what she meant. Wrapping her arm around his head she pulled him further for a deeper kiss and then got distracted by the muffled screaming down the hall.

Both dropped their heads on the bed. "So this is what afterglow is with kids," Lex joked before withdrawing himself from her. Walking over to the closet, he wrapped himself up in a robe and threw a spare on the bed for Chloe.

Sitting up on the bed, she wrapped herself up and slid off the bed. Grabbing his hand as he left the room, she pulled him into a kiss. "Tell me again."

Squeezing her hand, he leaned in and whispered, "I love you. Now, go take a shower and go to bed. I'll join you in a bit." She leaned against the doorframe watching Lex disappear into Julian's room. She left for the bathroom when she heard the screaming from the room subside.

The next morning went by like a flash. Between breakfast, work, and Julian, the day disappeared. Chloe stood in the office with her bag and sighed seeing Lex change Julian on his very expensive couch. "I have to go." Lex placed Julian in the playpen in the corner of the office and went to her.

"I'll walk you out." He picked up her bag and walked her to the door. Getting to the front door, he turned her around. "You're the first woman that I truly wished would not go."

Wrapping her arms around his neck, she kissed him. "I'm not gone for good. Just until next weekend. I love you." He kissed her again and walked her to her car. "I'll call you as soon as I get there." Pulling the door closed, she felt a pressure against it. "What?"

Lex threw a folder into her lap and smiled. "Write your article Miss Sullivan. And Julian and I are coming to see you next weekend." He slammed the door to her car with her mouth still gaping. She started the car and drove away as Lex slipped his hands into his pockets. Pulling his phone out, he dialed a number. "William, I need you back at the mansion. Please call the other help and tell them to report first thing tomorrow."
