Suddenly he’s encased in a giant hug and being surrounded by warm, bare, golden skin. He gasps in surprise as his feet leave the floor and then has to bite back a moan as his hips brush against one of Clark’s strong thighs. Lex prays that Clark is too innocent to realize the state he’s in. It was just a slight brush, so the chances are good that it’ll go unremarked. So he hopes anyway. When he feels Clark’s lips brush his cheek, he has to bite back yet another moan. The boy’s lips are sinfully soft, and Lex hadn’t thought he’d ever get to feel them again after the riverbank.
Just as suddenly as he was embraced, Lex finds himself back on his feet and at arms length, Clark’s hands cupping his shoulders. “Thanks, Lex. You’re the best. I don’t know anyone else who would’ve helped me today without laughing at me and making me feel even stupider than I already do. I’m glad you’re my friend. I’m sorry I pulled you away from whatever you were doing for such a silly thing. I know how busy you are. I feel like such a girl right now.”
Lex bites back the first comment that springs to his lips at that last statement. It can’t do anything other than draw attention where he doesn’t want it right now. “You might not want to let Chloe hear you say such a thing. I have the feeling she’d take offense. As to the rest, I’m glad I could be here for you, Clark, and flattered that you thought to call me for help at all. I’ll always be there for you. As for busy…I was actually taking the day off for once. Why don’t you come back to the mansion with me, if you don’t have other plans? We could shoot some pool, take a swim, see a movie, or do all three if you have the time. Your choice.”
Lex was gratified by the happier light that appeared in Clark’s eyes at his invitation. “That sounds awesome, Lex. I’d love to. It’ll have to be a little later though. I have some chores to finish that my parents left for me. They got kind of postponed when I saw the lizard. Can I come over in a couple of hours instead?”
Actually, Lex is quite happy with that plan. It’d give him some time to regain control of himself. “Not a problem, Clark. Why don’t you come over at noon. We can have some lunch first, and then you can let me know what you want to do from there. How long will you have?”
Lex is treated to another smile and he feels dazzled by the happiness it contains. “All day, Lex. My parents are in Granville for a farmer’s grange meeting, then they’re treating themselves to dinner and a movie that isn’t playing in Smallville yet.”
Lex’s heart sings at the idea that he’ll have Clark to himself for that much time. “Great, Clark. I’ll see you at noon then.”
