Chapter Two:

Moving out of the circle of Clark’s arms, Lex took his hand and led him toward the stairs. Clark looked around quickly, scanning through the walls for anyone close enough to walk in and see them.

The coast was clear.

He swept Lex up into his arms and they became a blur of speed as he ran up the steps to Lex’s bedroom. He placed Lex on the bed, sped back to lock the door and was at Lex’s side again in the space of a heartbeat.

Lex blinked. “Wow!” He grinned. “I guess that was you on that surveillance tape from the museum.”

“Yeah,” Clark admitted sheepishly as he crawled onto the bed. “It was the only way I could get that creep off my back. You were right about him,” Clark smiled back as he started undressing Lex who neither protested nor helped. He just let Clark’s hands work their magic.

“I guess we compliment each other... You trust too much. I don’t trust enough,” Lex mused as Clark skillfully divested him of his coat and tie.

“Maybe. Maybe if we work together, we can make your dreams of a brighter future come true.” He had Lex’s shirt unbuttoned, now.

“That would be nice, Clark. That would be nice...” Lex sighed, stretching languidly. “Umm, Clark? Do you think you could move a little faster?” Lex asked, raising an eyebrow. “This is taking entirely too long.”

Clark sat back and grinned. “Are you sure?” he asked. When Lex nodded, he moved.

He had them both stark naked in under two seconds. The clothes were folded neatly on a chair. Clark stood beside the bed gazing intently at Lex. Lex smiled slowly. “Like what you see?” Lex leered.

“Oh, my yes!” Clark murmured, gnawing on his lower lip. “As long as I don’t look too hard...”

“Huh?” Lex was stunned.

Clark smiled at him wistfully. “If I look too hard, I see right through your skin. I’m learning to control it, but sometimes I still see bones or muscles instead of faces and bodies. It’s a little unnerving,” Clark shrugged.

“You’re kidding! X-Ray Vision?”

“‘Fraid so. I’m sort of a freak, I guess.”

“No, Clark,” Lex said firmly. “You’re special - different - but you’re not a freak.”

“Then what am I, Lex?”

“You’re the man I love.”

“There’s so much you don’t know about me.”

“Are you willing to tell me?”

“Yes.”

“Then it can wait,” Lex smiled. “Make love to me.”

Clark’s worry dissolved into a smile and he climbed onto the bed. He slid up Lex’s body, carefully caressing as he moved.

Lex closed his eyes and softly moaned his pleasure. Strong, gentle hands stroked his skin. Lex raised his arms over his head and simply enjoyed the feel of Clark’s hands on his body. Clark followed hands with lips. Warm breath brushed lightly over his skin and Lex shuddered, trying not to jump. He didn’t want Clark to think he was afraid; that he didn’t trust him.

Clark looked up at Lex, worried. “Are you okay? Do you want me to stop?”

Lex raised his head and met Clark’s eyes. “If you do, I’ll fucking find a way to kill you.”

Clark grinned and lunged forward for a kiss, covering Lex’s body with his own. Lex was surprised to find Clark seemed to weigh less than he had before. When their lips finally parted, he asked, “Why are you so light?”

Clark said, “Well... I’m sort of floating. Well, almost, anyway. I’m holding myself up with my legs. It’s easy,” he shrugged again. “I do float sometimes, but it’s always when I’m sleeping. I wake up floating above my bed. That’s the other reason I haven’t ever stayed with you.”

“The first being your parents? Curfew?”

“Yes. If I had my way, I’d stay the night.”

“Well, Clark, give me the next best thing. Love me into exhaustion and let me fall asleep in your arms. Someday, maybe I’ll get to wake up in them, too.”

Clark nodded, nuzzling his lover’s neck. He nipped lightly at the skin over Lex’s right collarbone, leaving his mark. Lex gasped, “Oh! That was - unexpected.”

“Too much?”

“No, lover. Not too much. You didn’t draw blood. If you did, I might have to scold you.”

Clark laughed and sucked gently on the mark, drawing the blood to the surface, causing a well defined love-mark to form, framed by the slight indentations left by his teeth.

Lex moaned. He threaded one hand through that thick dark hair as the other traveled across Clark’s broad, muscled back. A tug at Clark’s hair brought his mouth back to Lex’s. He lowered both hands to knead at Clark’s buttocks. He stroked slowly back up Clark’s sides, surrendering totally to the kiss.

Clark disengaged and collected the lube and condoms from the bedside table. They had determined early on that the old saying was right. Too much lube was nearly enough. They used high quality lube and it was very expensive. Fortunately, Lex wasn’t hurting for money. They could replenish their supply as often as the wished.

Clark squirted some lube onto his fingers and reached back toward his own anus. Lex grabbed his wrist. “No, Clark. Not tonight.” At the hurt look on Clark’s face, he continued, “I need you inside me, tonight, love. I need to prove to you that I’m not afraid of you.” Clark started to pull away. “What? Did you think I didn’t know? I could see it in your eyes, Clark. From the moment you told me, you’ve been terrified that I would push you away. That I would leave you. Well? Does it look like I’m going anywhere?”

“Are you sure, Lex? ‘Cause I can wait, if you’re not sure.”

“I’m sure, Clark. I want you inside me.”

“Well, okay, but I want you to control it.”

“I don’t want to, Clark. That would defeat the purpose. If I’m in control, how can I show you I trust you to be in control? It’s not like we’ve never done this before. The only difference is that now I know and before I didn’t. You haven’t changed. Neither have I. And I want you inside me.”

Clark’s eyes softened. Lex really did trust him. “Okay,” he smiled shyly. “I’ll be in control. But you have to accept that control, Lex. You have to obey me. You can’t take it back until I give it back, okay?”

Lex nodded.

“But that won’t work!” Clark said in exasperation. “I need you to have an out, for my peace of mind, Lex.”

“How about a safeword? If I want you to stop, I’ll say...”

“Stop?”

“No. That might interfere with our games. In this particular case, no, most definitely, does not mean no. How about...” Lex thought back to the night he rescued Clark from that cornfield. And the way Clark always seemed to get sick if he was near Lana’s necklace. “How about ‘meteor’?”

Clark’s eyes went wide. “That’ll get my attention, anyway.”

“Why? Why does the meteor rock bother you,Clark?”

“I don’t know. But it makes me really sick. I can’t do the stuff I do if I’m anywhere near it. The only thing that seems to help is if it’s surrounded by lead. Like that box you gave me for Lana’s necklace.”

Lex nodded. “I’ll see what I can do about collecting it, then. If I can dump it all in a lead-lined storage facility, you’ll be safe.” Then he drew Clark in for a fierce kiss.

“Time to begin?”

“Yes, master,” Lex said, tauntingly. Clark grinned.

He changed directions and used the lube to begin to open and stretch Lex’s opening. His fingers massaged the area around Lex’s anus ‘til the muscle began to relax, then he carefully slipped one finger inside. Lex whimpered, but it was in pleasure not pain. Clark slowly moved his finger in and out, gently stretching and massaging, pushing the lube deeper. When he brushed Lex’s prostate, his hips bucked. Clark added a second finger and continued. When Lex begged for more, he pulled out and Lex whimpered again, this time in frustration. Clark smiled and added more lube. He kept pushing more and more lube into Lex as deep as he could, finally adding a third finger. When Lex’s anus was as relaxed as possible and there was what Clark judged to be ‘enough’ lube inside him, Clark reached for his prostate and flicked his tongue across the head of Lex’s penis. Lex jumped, bucking hard against Clark’s fingers and crying out his name...

Clark pulled out abruptly. Lex moaned and whimpered.

“Put your hands above your head,” Clark demanded. Lex obeyed. “Now...
I’m going to roll us over so you can ride me. But I’ll be the one doing the moving. You just let me handle everything. Okay?”

Lex smiled and sighed, “Yes, please.”

A second later, Clark was on his back and Lex was impaled on his condom-covered shaft. Strong, sure hands guided his hips up and down, angling to hit his prostate. Lex let his hands roam slowly over Clark’s chest and arms. He leaned in to kiss Clark’s eyelids. Clark found a rhythm and kept it easily. All Lex had to do was relax and enjoy the sensations. It didn’t take long. Clark was too turned on by Lex’s trust. He grabbed Lex’s shaft in his hand and stroked him roughly (but gently) to completion. The contractions of his muscles pushed Clark over the edge and he came hard.

When the last of their tremors subsided, Clark pulled Lex to his side and wrapped his arms around him. Lex collapsed in Clark’s embrace and murmured, “Thank you. That was... wonderful, Clark.”

“You’re welcome. And thank you, Lex, for trusting me.”

Lex smiled as he snuggled into Clark’s arms and drifted off to sleep.
