[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.

Suddenly, Clark feels like a gazelle caught in a lion's gaze.

"Uh, more kissing?"

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

"I was going to say you," she says, blushing a little. "But that works too."

[hero_farmboy]

"Oh. Right. Good." Chloe may notice he does better with teasing banter than he does ... with anything else.

"'Cause yeah, that would be nice," he agrees, taking a small step toward her.

It's another one of those things that fall into the adorable category to Chloe.

"I think so." She nods to a door that's still half ajar. "My bedroom's in there."

[hero_farmboy]

"Bedroom?" Clark repeats and no, his voice did not just go up a few notches. It's just your imagination.

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

Imagination or not, Chloe giggles.

"Yeah, bedroom, Clark. It tends to make things like feeling you up way more interesting."

[hero_farmboy]

Oh, Clark gets it now. She's trying to kill him.

"You can't do that out here?" You know, where there isn't a bed?

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

Trying? Chloe thinks that she's succeeding.

"I thought that was part of the reason why we came back here."

[hero_farmboy]

"Well, it's private," he points out. "And we can do what we were doing before. In private."

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

"In the bedroom."

[hero_farmboy]

"You're incorrigible, you know that?" This may be a rhetorical question, because to him, the answer is obvious. "Trying to corrupt the innocent."

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

Chloe looks him over. "Something tells me that with a body like that, you can't be as innocent as you claim."

[hero_farmboy]

Clark looks down at himself and then back up at Chloe. "What about my body?"

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

"Clark," Chloe points out admits amused giggles. "You're hot."

[hero_farmboy]

"I thought I was adorable."

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

"That to," she admits, walking closer to him. "Especially when you blush."

[hero_farmboy]

"Right. I forgot that part," he says softly closing the rest of the distance between them, little as it is be now.

"You're pretty cute when you blush, too, you know."

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," she answers as she smiles up at him.

And then? She is kissing him once again.

[hero_farmboy]

Clark is okay with kissing. More than okay, in fact, and instantly his arms go around her again, pulling her tight against him.

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

As she kisses him, she slowly starts backing away to her room.

What he doesn't realise won't hurt him.

[hero_farmboy]

Chloe - any Chloe - is a wily creature. Were Clark thinking clearly, he would remember this. But he's not, and so it is indeed a successful plan. The kiss even remains intact.

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

It's not long before her back is against the door to her room, carefully pushing it open without breaking the kiss too much.

Her hands have begun to explore his back again. And once they cross into her bedroom, she begins to pull his shirt up.

[hero_farmboy]

Her hands are nice and small and warm and, well, it's just his shirt, right? That's no big deal, so he breaks the kiss long enough to help her with that before puling her close again.

If there is a bed in this room, it's escaped his notice.

[torch-reporter.livejournal.com]

Before he pulls her back to him, she does manage to get quite the eyeful. Yeah, Chloe decides: totally hot.

Now, she thinks (or would if not running on autodrive with all the sensations), is the perfect time to acquaint Clark with the bed. As she kisses him, pressing her cleavage up against his chest, she begins to walk backwards again. It's a walk that continues until her legs hit the bed and she loses balance.

[hero_farmboy]

Clark follows, only half aware that's what he's doing, so distracted is he with cleavage and kissing and further exploring Chloe's rear.

But then there's loss of balance and falling and instincts kick in fast enough that he manges to brace himself with a hand on either side of her, taking most of his weight. Still, there is immediate concern.

"Are you okay? Did I hurt you?"
