Chapter 10

"Chloe, someone's coming!" Clark immediately began buttoning up Chloe's shirt. Pushing a hand through his hair, he looked down at a disheveled Chloe. She rose up on her elbows while Clark rolled away from her and sat up.

"So, how close are they? Are they miles away, cause if they are, we still have time…" Chloe reached out to trace a finger along Clark's jaw. Clark leaned down and gave her a slow, sensual kiss.

"They are almost here. I was too preoccupied with you, so I didn't hear them until they were almost here."

A car of five college students, three girls and two guys slid to a stop fifty yards away. They noisily climbed out of their car and proceeded to head for the lake stripping down to bathing suits as they went. Clark and Chloe were still pretty sheltered from their view unless the students really paid attention to their surroundings.

Chloe's disappointment was fierce. Damn, that's the way it always was with Clark, always some sort of interruption, whether it was a malfunction of his abilities, someone needing to be rescued or in this case, just a plain old, ordinary interruption. Was she ever going to get to have her way with Clark? Chloe stifled a giggle. Poor Clark, it must be hell to be him.

Clark was grimacing at the objects of their interruption. Chloe noticed how flushed he was. She couldn't decide if it was embarrassment or frustration. She liked to think that it was frustration. That would mean that Clark was as turned on as she was. Chloe wondered if he had ever done anything like this with Lana. If they had almost…

Clark glanced over at Chloe. She was checking him out and he blushed furiously. He wished he didn't blush so easily. It made things more embarrassing. Clark smiled tentatively. She was still propped up on her elbows, the buttons on her blouse straining to stay together. He cleared his throat. He felt his body respond to the sexy picture she made with her hair all mussed and her lips swollen from his frantic kisses. Her sexy smile and the flutter of her lashes didn't help him gain control of his body either. "Chloe, behave." Clark whispered loudly at her, his eyes glancing back over to the group splashing around in the water.

When Clark's eyes met Chloe's again, she crooked a finger at him, "Come here, Big Boy!" Her voice was low and seductive. Clark moaned and blushed. Then, he obediently stretched out beside her. "They aren't paying any attention to us." Chloe eased her body back down to the blanket and wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him down to her.

"Chloe! Stop! We can't…" Clark's voice got softer and trailed off as he lowered his head down at her insistent tugging, his eyes glued to her lips. "Chloe," Clark whispered before his lips covered hers in a sweet, hot kiss. Chloe moaned into his mouth making Clark hot and hard. He couldn't seem to get enough of Chloe. She was so incredibly hot that he was amazed that he had never noticed it before. The only thing that he could figure out was that he was in denial the whole time he had known her. Had he been that blinded by Lana? Clark slipped an arm underneath her and wrapped it around her waist and pulled her closer to his body.

Chloe loved the strength and tenderness she felt being in Clark's arms. For someone with super abilities, he was extremely gentle and caring. Chloe buried her hands in his dark, luxurious locks and moaned against Clark's mouth. Heat flashed through her to land low in her belly when Clark moaned right back, the sound was almost a low growl. She felt his hand drop to her hip and pull her forward against him. Chloe felt the evidence of Clark's arousal. Oh yeah, there was no doubt that Mr. Kent was turned on in a major way. Chloe rocked her hips against his, eliciting another moaning growl from somewhere in Clark's throat.

Suddenly wolf whistles reached Clark's ears. Jerking his lips away from Chloe's, he glanced up to see all five of the students watching them with interest. One of the guys in the group pumped his hands in conjunction with his hips yelling, "Get her done!" Clark felt anger rise up in him at the derogatory remark. How dare he insinuate that Chloe was nothing more than a sex toy!

Chloe felt Clark's body tense up and by the look on his face, he was ready to confront the guy. She tightened her arms around Clark. "Clark, he's an idiot. Just let it go. He isn't worth the trouble."

Clark looked down at Chloe with a frown marring his features. "Chloe, I don't like what he said. It was an insult to you. He needs to be taught a few manners." Chloe smiled up at him. Clark's frown softened and began to melt away. Her smile was too hard to resist. "Chloe, I would do anything to protect you." Clark gazed into her pale green eyes seriously.

Placing her hand against his cheek, Chloe smiled brightly. "I know you would, Clark."

Hoop and hollers continued as car doors slammed and a car engine started before squealing tires kicked up gravel as they fled from the scene. Good thing, too. Clark was getting ready to kick some butt! "Good thing they left." Clark pressed his lips together, a slight smile on his face.

"Now where were we?" Chloe's voice was low and seductive causing Clark to swallow hard. Maybe just one more kiss? He could stop at one kiss…couldn't he? His parents were expecting them back shortly and he was already having a hard time, operative word being 'hard', staying in control of his body. He still had doubts about whether or not he could control his strength during passion. It would kill him if he hurt Chloe. And come to think of it, he didn't even have any condoms. Not that he had any at home. He would have to go buy some. Their first time would take planning and neither one of them was ready for that. Even though he didn't think that he could get a human girl pregnant, he wasn't willing to take any chances of screwing up both their lives. They were far too young to be parents. Then, what if condoms didn't do the job for him?He wasn't human after all. Maybe there wasn't any kind of birth control that would work for him, not to mention he wasn't sure what would happen with all his powers if they did make love. He thought it best if they just quit while they were ahead.

"Chloe, my parents are expecting us home soon. Maybe we should pack things up and head back." Clark hoped she would agree with him. He was perched precariously on the edge of falling head long into making love to her and it wasn't going to be easy to resist her.

Chloe studied Clark for a moment longer. "You're right. We should head back to the farm. She couldn't believe how a few kisses got out of control so quickly. She was thankful for the interruption that allowed them to gain control over their libidos. They were definitely in uncharted territory here. They needed to talk about this first before they took on that kind of relationship,no matter how badly she wanted to be with Clark that way. They had his abilities to consider as well as protection. She was positive that Clark did not have condoms. He would not have planned for today. And they would want a private place. Chloe was certain that Clark wouldn't hurt her. Even in the throes of passion, she knew he would adjust his strength, that on a subconscious level he would know how to touch her without breaking any bones.

"Well, Big Boy,I'd like to have one more kiss before we go. A nice, long passionate one." Chloe bit her lip and wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.

Clark couldn't contain the laughter that bubbled forth at her expression. It was both comical and sexy. Her huge grin and teasing tone made Clark feel comfortable. He had never felt that way around any girl except Chloe. And the amazing thing was that he had the hots for her and she could still make him feel at ease.

"Are you sure that is what you want?" Clark looked at her with a mock serious expression as he began to slowly crawl over to her like a jungle cat stalking its prey.

Chloe's eyes widened at Clark's dark, sexy smile. His head was tilted down, his eyes glued to hers as he came closer. Then, he pounced. Chloe squealed in delight. Clark's eyes looked at her lips before catching her gaze. "Is this what you had in mind?" His lips descended on hers in a slow, voluptuous kiss. He explored her mouth thoroughly, while Chloe's eyes rolled back into her head.

When had Clark gotten so confident? Wow, he was making her burn up with fever from just a simple kiss. Simple kiss? Ha! Chloe Sullivan had never been kissed so thoroughly in her entire life. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. Clark's arms held her gently, but securely against him.

Clark finally pulled back and looked at her flushed face, her eyes were still closed and her lips were slightly parted. Bringing one hand up to her face, Clark cupped her cheek in his palm and stroked her bottom lip with his thumb. Clark couldn't believe that his best friend was interested in him. She let a shaky breath escape her lips. Her eyelashes began to flutter against her cheeks as she attempted to open her eyes. Clark waited patiently. When he was finally able to see her eyes, he smiled and asked, "How was that?"

Chloe looked at Clark for a moment before she could get her mouth to work. "Mmmm, well, that was definitely beyond what I expected." Lifting a shaky hand, Chloe brushed her fingers across his cheek.

Clark smiled lovingly at Chloe. "That's what I was hoping for." Reluctantly, Clark eased away from her. "Well, it's time to head back to the farm, Beautiful." Clark stood up and held his hand out to help her up.

Chloe batted her eyelashes at him and giggled, placing her hand in his. "Why, thank you, Clark Kent. You are indeed a proper gentleman."

Clark pulled her into his arms and hugged her. "I love you, Chloe." He kissed the top of her head before letting her go to bend down and grab the blanket.
