[for Chloe]

[hero_farmboy]

Clark is not nervous. Not at all. That pacing he's doing outside Chloe's apartment building? Totally not nerves. It's just a second date and the first one was the one he was nervous over. This one should be a breeze.

He just needs a minute.

Finally, after taking a quick look around to make sure no one's watching, he takes a deep breath and speeds up to her apartment, knocking lightly on the door.

It's hard to not just walk in.

There's a little whimper at the back of his throat when he feels her hand against his skin and he only pulls back for the briefest of seconds before he relaxes again, pulling her even closer against him.

Unfortunately for Chloe, has hands are pretty much frozen at the small of her back and in her hair, so it's unlikely he'll be returning the favour. At least not right away.

Someone hasn't done this for a while, and Chloe's willing to take bets that that someone isn't her.

"Relax," she whispers between kisses. "You're not going to hurt me, Clark."

Just the opposite, she hopes. As if to prove it, Chloe uses her free hand to move the one on the small of her back downward.

[hero_farmboy]

Clark lets her guide his hand further down, but he's obviously hesitant.

"I might," he whispers back. "I won't mean to but..." He lets that trail off. He's made out with his powers before. That much he knows he can handle and they're not going to get much further than that right now, so he forces himself to try and relax even more.

"I'd totally let you know if you did anything wrong," she promises as she continues to grope and kiss him. "Don't worry. I trust you, Clark."

[hero_farmboy]

She trusts him. That, more than any groping she may be doing although that's certainly appreciated, too, erodes away a little more of that ever-present control he puts on himself.

And he discovers that Chloe's ass is even nicer than it was sophomore year.

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

She lets out a small mew as he finally returns the favor. That feels a lot better than she ever imagined.

[hero_farmboy]

Clark tenses for a minute. Was that a good sound or a bad sound? When Chloe doesn't start screaming in pain, he decides it's safe to continue, but more gently than before.

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

Once in a while, Chloe makes the mewing sound again. It's definitely a good sound, Clark. It means she's enjoying it. By now, her other hand has slipped downward in exploration as well.

[hero_farmboy]

That sound is now etched permanently in Clark's mind.

Of course, then her hand starts moving and Clark is back to making the whimpering sound again himself.

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

Chloe would look very smug right now if she wasn't so busy kissing him. And if her hands weren't so interested in exploring his skin. Those muscles are really nice.

Something is to be said for farm chores.

[hero_farmboy]

Something also to be said for Kryptonian genes.

Clark is glad his invulnerability discounts any possibility of being ticklish, because laughing right now would not be a good move. Instead, he just concentrates on how warm her hands are.

Then he slides his hands back to her waist, thumbs teasing under the hem of her shirt.

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

That is something Chloe encourages a lot. She giggles a little as she finally moves her lips away from his. Instead of stopping, though, she starts a trail of kisses from his mouth to his ear.

Her hands become still as she focuses on seeing just what else makes him whimper.

[hero_farmboy]

Clark can tell that was a good giggle and he smiles against her hair, tracing a thumb across her stomach. Slowly, he tilts his head to the side, giving Chloe full access to his neck.

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

She takes full advantage of that, working her way downward to the crook of his neck. Not quite getting the whimper she wants, she nips gently at his skin.

One of her hands has started to wander again, downward this time. At the moment, it's currently playing with the skin underneath the waistband of his jeans.

[hero_farmboy]

That works, although whether it's the feel of her teeth lightly scraping against his throat, or the warmth of her touch again.

Either way, there's another whimper and then he manages to breathe out, "Chloe..."

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

She smiles against his skin, feeling very proud with herself, before continuing with the light scrapes and licks. Her hands slip further downward teasingly, centimeters at a time.

This is exactly the reaction she wants.

[hero_farmboy]

It occurs to Clark suddenly that they're outside. In public ...despite the fact they're the only two people around for miles (he knows, he listened).

It also suddenly occurs to him where, exactly, Chloe's hands are. His own tighten around her waist, though under her shirt now.

"Uh, Chloe?"

He wishes that sounded more confident than a ragged whisper.

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

She blinks, almost as if coming out of a haze as she looks up at him. There's a very happy smile on her face as well.

"Clark?"

[hero_farmboy]

"Uh," he swallows thickly and reaches a hand up to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "We should slow down or something. Shouldn't we?"

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

Chloe shrugs, looking at him in earnest. You only live once, in her opinion. And with all of the recent chaos, she doesn't want to miss any opportunities.

"Should we?"

[hero_farmboy]

"I think, uh, yeah. Maybe."

Unsurprisingly, Clark does not look or sound convinced of this decision.

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

"That's not exactly very convincing, Clark," she responds, pecking at his lips as she talks.

[hero_farmboy]

"I know, it's just, you hardly know me," he replies between light kisses. "I don't want to take advantage of you."

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

"You're not if you you have my consent," she promises, looking up at him wide eyed. "Clark, the world nearly ended for me just a few weeks ago. I can't help it if I don't want to take things slow."

[hero_farmboy]

Dammit, Chloe, that's logic.

Still, Clark looks conflicted. It might say something, however, that he hasn't moved his hands yet. "We should at least go somewhere ... not outside."
