Day 1
The phone rang. Lex looked at it
in annoyance, having been caught up in the reports from one of his
pet projects. The folder full of charts and analyses lay open in
front of him, but he closed it as he reached for the ringing phone.
It was an outside line and the number of people who had his direct
number could be counted on two hands. "Hello?" he greeted,
keeping most of the curtness from his voice.
"Luthor." The voice was deep, weighty and familiar. Its owner was not on the
list of people who should have this number. Lex felt a complete lack
of surprise that he had been able to find it, however. The Gotham
vigilante was nearly as irritating as Metropolis's resident alien and
would have had the potential to surpass Superman if not for the fact
that he kept mostly to his own city.
"Batman." A
vague morbid curiosity kept him from hanging up. Anything that
brought the Batman out of the hell known popularly as Gotham had to
be interesting. Though given the lack of alien airships or giant
robots threatening the planet and the fact that the biggest news on
CNN was about a bill in Congress, this probably involved something
closer to home.
He wondered idly which of his projects was
currently causing the League enough consternation to warrant a phone
call. Normally, they just sent Superman in to demolish anything they
took issue against, but Lex was willing to encourage them in this new
policy, if in fact that was what they were doing. He just hoped they
hadn't viewed his cooperation in defending the Earth from that last
menace as some kind of friendship overture or something equally
absurd. He'd made two attempts on Superman's life since then,
however, so that seemed unlikely.
The latter of those had
been only the previous day, so this may have something to do with
that. If that were the case, though, he would have expected a police
raid with superhero backup, not a phone call. Since the prototype had
proven to be ineffective against the alien, even with the kryptonite
power cells, and Superman had managed to destroy it without so much
as breaking a sweat, perhaps they were content to issue only a
warning this time.
"This is a courtesy call," the
Batman stated, nothing in his voice sounding remotely courteous. So
it was just a warning. Don't try to kill Superman.Yada yada . Lex
restrained himself from rolling his eyes just out of principle. When
the Batman continued, however, he gave a rather different commentary.
"Superman has suffered some side-effects from the ray gun you
used on him last night."
Lex blinked, surprised more by
the fact that they were telling him Superman had been
incapacitated by his prototype than that there had been delayed
reactions. If he had hurt Superman, why were they calling him to chat
instead of getting law enforcement involved? "Side-effects?"
he repeated, taking the opportunity to ask for more details even if
he didn't understand why he was being offered one.
"He
has been behaving with increasing anger and aggression since he was
exposed to the ray gun. We are uncertain how much longer we will be
able to contain him. As he keeps muttering your name, we decided to
warn you that he may try to confront you. As you were the primary
cause for this change in behavior, we may have left you to his mercy
had we not also noticed that green kryptonite, which we know you have
surrounded yourself with, makes him only more violent and no longer
disables him physically."
Lex's eyes warily tracked to
the walls of his office which were subtly imbued with the alien
mineral so that Superman always suffered ambient discomfort whenever
he came calling. It was possible that the Batman was lying about the
reversal of Superman's main weakness, but Lex had observed him
destroy the prototype last night with no ill effects, even when his
fist slammed through the power core where the kryptonite was.
"We
would also like you to give us the plans for the ray gun so that we
may look for ways to reverse the effects."
And people
said the Batman had no sense of humor. "I don't think
so."
"Luthor," the Batman growled low in his
throat, "Superman is fast becoming the unstoppable menace you
have predicted for years. Give us the plans so we can stop him."
Lex
laughed. "And give up the chance to prove I was right? You'll
get the plans when he does something the public won't be able to
forgive him for."
An unhappy silence filled the phone
receiver for a moment, then the Batman's voice warned, "Let it
be on your head, then. As I said, we suspect he will come after you
first." Lex was given no chance to respond to this as the
connection clicked closed and a dial tone came over the line.
Though
his penthouse had as much kryptonite in the walls as his office did,
the layout was more open and he hoped the greater open space would
diffuse any negative affect the rock had on Superman's normally stoic
temper. Though Lex could recall a time when the alien was just as
irritable as any teenager on Earth (possibly more so), he had aged
and matured into a very boring caricature of himself. Some days, that
alone made Lex as angry at the alien as anything else.
Lex
changed out of his power suit when he reached the penthouse and put
on a pair of dark slacks and a pale blue shirt. He settled himself on
the couch in the sitting room, since that was one of the largest
rooms in his home and the couch was a comfortable place to wait for
the inevitable. He opened his laptop to examine the flaws that must
have existed in the ray gun's design to pass the time.
He was
sipping at his second scotch and frowning at a few baseline
assumptions that he was now questioning when there was a crash deeper
in the apartment, from where the door out to the balcony was. He
sighed and took a larger swig of the alcohol, then looked up in time
to see his two bodyguards collapse to the floor, their guns only
half-drawn from their holsters. Superman materialized directly in
front of Lex, his eyes looking wild and red instead of their more
usual frowning blue. He didn't look entirely sane.
Lex took
another sip of his scotch and closed his laptop, pretending he wasn't
the least perturbed by this development. Putting the computer aside,
he asked calmly, "What are you doing here, Superman?"
The
alien took the drink out of his hand and tossed it aside. Lex didn't
let himself flinch as the glass shattered and fine scotch spilled all
over the original Mondrian that it had smashed against. "That
was a priceless . . ." His protest trailed off as Superman
grabbed him by the shoulders and forcibly lifted him off the couch,
turned 180 degrees and set him down on his feet. Feeling faintly
ridiculous and somewhat precarious standing on the glass coffee table
that sat in front of his couch, Lex found himself looking eye-to-eye
at Superman. As the top of the table was eight inches over the floor
and Superman was only four inches taller than him, Lex had to glance
down to confirm that, yes, Superman was flying.
Without any
warning, Superman shoved Lex, pressing the fingertips of both his
hands against Lex's chest and just pushing. Lex stumbled
backwards and fell awkwardly off the table, as the change of his
weight shattered the fragile glass under him. He felt the burn of
cuts as glass shards cut into his legs, then grunted as his bottom
landed hard on the not-nearly soft enough Persian rug. The air
knocked out of him, he fell backwards and lay on his backside as
Superman floated down and straddled his torso. The alien looked down
and smirked. For all that the Justice League had named Lex a
supervillian, he was sure he'd never looked that evil even at his
worst.
He scrambled backwards, trying not to wince as his
legs fought to disentangle themselves from the frame and glass pieces
of the broken table. He twisted around and tried to get back up on
his feet so he wasn't so vulnerable, but Superman just kicked him and
he was down again, gasping and clutching at the rib that the
Superfoot had probably cracked. From his position on the floor, he
traced his eyes up the red boots next to his head, up the long blue
legs, past the red underwear worn on the outside, over the S emblem
on Superman's chest, and up to the face looking down at him from
almost six feet above.
Keeping all trace of pain and fear out
of his voice, he asked scathingly, "What are you going to do?
Kill me?"
Superman spoke for the first time since his
arrival. "I might."
Lex tried to sit up, but
Superman's foot was there, pushing him back down and then resting
flat against Lex's chest, pinning him against the rug. Lex tried to
twist away, but Superman just pushed his foot down harder, making Lex
still for fear of having his ribcage crushed. He scowled, not at all
liking being kept helpless on the floor.
Superman laughed. It
lacked the uncontrolled tones necessary to qualify as maniacal, but
it was definitely chilling and cruel. A shiver of fear chased down
Lex's spine and curled uneasily in his gut. "I'm enjoying having
you at my mercy too much to kill you now though."
One of
the bodyguards groaned as she fought to regain consciousness.
Superman gave her an irritable look, and then the world lurched. Lex
blinked against the sudden bright glare. He staggered dizzily,
finding himself on his feet again.
"We won't be disturbed
here and I can take as long as I like to play with you." Lex
focused on Superman at the words, but his eyes didn't stay there
long. They drifted to take in the surroundings. Superman had brought
them to a large crystalline cave. He was almost positive this was the
much sought-after Fortress of Solitude. He'd spent millions trying to
find this place. He didn't allow his excitement or interest to show
or Superman might realize that it was completely worth being abducted
and tortured just to be here. If he was really lucky,
he'd get knocked unconscious, Superman would wander away to amuse
himself beating up some other villain, and Lex would wake up and be
able to snoop.
"What are you, a cat?" Lex asked in
disgust, angling for that sought after unconsciousness with as little
damage beforehand as possible. "I'm your enemy, not a
toy."
Superman was suddenly standing too close, looking
down at Lex with a deeply frowning visage. His hand gripped Lex's
chin, lifting up and forcing him to stand on his toes. "You
tried to kill me," he growled, abruptly angry.
Lex
realized belatedly that reminding the psychotic super-powered alien
that they hated each other was pushing a little too far and
now he was in danger of losing not only his consciousness but his
life. He could see the homicidal insanity in those unnaturally red
eyes. Heart pounding, Lex sought a way to return the lunatic to his
almost playful calm from earlier. Superman had wanted to play with
him, right? Fine. As Lex didn't currently find death preferable, Lex
let every muscle in his body go lax. Superman's grip on his chin
hadn't been meant to hold up all of Lex's weight even with super
strength. Surprised, Superman's hand let go and Lex crumpled to the
floor. He twisted onto his back to look up at Superman from the
freezing cold ground. He preferred his Persian. "True, but you
were no fun to play with. I'm far more entertaining." Fuck, that
sounded like a bad pickup line.
Double fuck, Superman heard it
as one. He could tell that by the way the alien's eyes swept over
Lex's prone body and the evil smirk that replaced his angry
expression. "Stand up, Lex. When I want you on a horizontal
surface, I'll put you on one."
Lex swallowed and reviewed
his options. He could stay on the floor out of contrariness, but that
was a position of weakness and far from the ideal location to launch
an offensive. He could stand, but that would be obeying Superman's
order, and that sat wrong with him. He could rise to his knees, but
that might imply a submission of some kind, and that was
unacceptable. He saw no other options. The lesser evil available was
standing as ordered, so he did. He lifted his chin and gave Superman
a defiant look so he wouldn't think that Lex Luthor was rolling over
that easily.
Superman's smirk only grew. "I believe
you're right, Lex. You will be entertaining." He made a
beckoning gesture with his fingers. "Come closer."
Lex's
heart was hammering in his chest. It was ridiculous. His pulse had
hardly accelerated at all when he'd been lying on his rug with a foot
on his chest. But then, he'd been home. It had been his territory.
Unconscious though they may have been, he'd had people and security
there. It had been familiar and he knew all the escape routes. Here,
as intriguing an idea as the Fortress was, there was no escape. Even
if he did get the drop on Superman, there was nowhere to go.
Worse, there was unlikely to be a rescue. Nobody knew he was
here and nobody even knew where here was. Some of the League
might have an idea how to get to the Fortress, but once Superman went
rogue he probably would have set the defenses against them. They
wouldn't risk coming here in Lex's behalf anyway. So long as Superman
was occupied with Lex, he wasn't endangering the rest of the
population. In fact, neither of them were. It was win-win as far as
the League was concerned. His only real hope of survival was to last
until a cure was found. How ironic was it that Lex had refused the
only people looking for one the best information about what was
wrong?
Lex stepped closer. Superman beckoned again and Lex
took another step. Superman's hands rested on Lex's waist and the
smug look on his face told Lex that he knew Lex would be a wonderful
new toy. Lex held his gaze arrogantly, but the hands stayed on his
waist until it became an acknowledgment that Lex wasn't going to push
them away, even when Superman's thumbs began to rub erotic circles
over Lex's hipbone. The hands only moved away when Lex's eyes
involuntarily drifted closed as he fought to stave off any kind of
physical response to the stimulation. Superman chuckled in his
victory and let go of Lex's waist to start unbuttoning the pale blue
shirt.
Lex's eyes snapped open as he felt the chill air of the
Fortress against his increasingly bared chest. "Clark, don't do
this," Lex asked, the entreaty aimed at the teenager he'd once
known, the one he tried so hard to forget about, the one who was the
reason he hated the alien and yet the one who ultimately kept Lex
from being able to actually kill that same alien.
Superman's
hands never slowed in the unbuttoning of Lex's shirt. He gave no
acknowledgment that he'd even heard Lex's words until the pale blue
fabric hung loose off Lex's shoulders, and none at all that Lex had
admitted, for the first time, that he knew Superman's secret
identity. The alien eyes that looked at him had nothing of Clark in
them, and they held none of Clark's human concerns. Lex swallowed his
uneasiness down. He would not be intimidated. Superman's finger
stroked Lex's cheek and his voice was colored with amusement. "Do
not even try to deny that you want this, Alexander Luthor." The
way Lex's full name was rolled around Superman's mouth felt nearly as
intimate as the fingers that brushed over the vulnerable flesh of his
exposed belly.
Lex closed his eyes and did not deny it. If he
denied it, he would know whether he was lying or not, and that was a
self-awareness he was just as happy not knowing. If he knew he was
lying, he would be disgusted with himself. If he knew he wasn't
lying, he wasn't sure he'd be able to do what he needed to do to
survive. For this, it was best to remain ignorant because neither
possibility was palatable.
Instead, he stepped into the touch
and prayed to gods he'd never believed in that he wasn't biting off
more than he could chew, that becoming Superman's sex toy for however
long it took the alien to return to normal wasn't worse than the
torture they had both initially expected. Superman's hands - how had
he never noticed before how large they were - wrapped around Lex's
torso, sliding under the silk of the opened shirt to stay against his
skin. Lex rose up on his toes, pressing the front of his body against
Superman's as he lifted his mouth up to whisper near his ear. "All
those times you pushed me up against walls . . ." Lex had
intended to imply a sexual deviancy within the usually straight-laced
demeanor of Superman in his right mind, but Superman was pushing him
against a wall now, and Lex grunted from the impact and lost his
train of thought as the alien tore open Lex's belt and pushed a hand
down the back of his pants.
A distant part of his mind
lamented that Superman would never be able to push him around again
without Lex thinking of this and that would put serious kinks in
their working relationship. Most of his mind, though, was already
well past any concern over his 'working relationship' with the alien
and was gibbering over the fact that Superman was pushing a finger
inside Lex's ass. Lex couldn't bite back a verbal cry as his body was
violated and his hands, taking over in the face of his knees'
weakness and the desertion of any strength Lex was supposed to have
in his legs, grabbed hold of the only thing available to help him
keep his balance: Superman.
Superman's free hand and his other
four fingers of his occupied one steadied him. The fifth stayed where
it was, foreign and invasive. Lex's heart beat painfully loud. The
only other sound in the great ice cavern was Lex's ragged
breathing.
The eerie stillness broke with Superman's harsh
laughter. Lex cried out again and hugged Superman closer to his
chest, as the finger angled differently and pushed in past the first
knuckle, sliding two more inches into Lex's body. Every muscle Lex
had trembled with the knowledge of that finger's promise. Every blood
cell vacated his face, brain, hands, arms, and legs. He could feel
his skin, white-pale and tingling from the hasty departure. His penis
hurt from the speed and fullness of its engorgement.
"It
occurs to me, Luthor," Superman stated, voice rich with
amusement, "that your problem all these years has not been the
stick up your ass, but the lack of one." The finger pulled out
half an inch then pushed back in as deep as the last knuckle would
allow. Tears blurred Lex's vision because no lube had as yet made an
appearance and the friction of the finger's passage was agony. He
suspected it had been able to go as deep as it had only with the aid
of alien strength. Disturbingly, the pain did not lessen his hard-on
in any significant way.
The finger abruptly left him, and he
unwillingly let another sound escape him as his body resisted the
removal as much as it had the entrance. He couldn't keep up with the
speed of the encounter. This was, in part, excusable due to the
superspeed of his partner, but even as he was bent over a previously
non-existent long banquet table with a tablecloth just a few shades
lighter than LuthorCorp Purple, his mind was still reeling over the
part where his body decided of its own accord to get hard instead of
scream in terror and horror like any other person on the planet would
do when they got finger raped by the psychotic alien that they have
actively hated beyond reason for more than a decade. He barely
noticed the complete removal of his shirt, dropped onto the table
beside him, but his whole body jerked from the force of it as his
pants and underwear were yanked down, just far enough to give
Superman access to his ass and no further.
Lex twisted around
to see that Superman was still fully dressed in his uniform, but he
was aroused to the point where there was a definite outline of a
penis against the red outer-underwear. It became even more obvious
when Superman rubbed his clothed crotch against Lex's exposed
buttocks in a preview for what was to come. "Fuck," Lex
cursed, futilely trying to bite it back. The word was no louder than
a whisper, but it carried his lack of power, his lack of control, and
his awareness that there was none of either for him here out into the
air where Superman could hear them and relish in his
dominance.
Superman held him down with nothing but his
fingertips in the small of Lex's back. Two fingers hooked under Lex's
waist and lifted his ass up against the spandex encased dick. It
pushed between Lex's cheeks to press against the small hole there and
Lex squeezed his eyes closed, braced himself against the table, and
pressed his face against the smooth but wrinkled fabric of the
tablecloth as he wondered if Superman was going to fuck him while
still fully clothed. "Fuck," he whispered again, his voice
small and unrecognizable to his own ears, as Superman thrust against
him, sliding him further onto the table instead of just bent over it.
His knee banged against the edge with the next thrust and after the
third, that knee was on the table, bracing him, and he
realized Superman was now kneeling behind him on the table.
Superman
sat back on his heels, but kept Lex where he was, with his ass up in
the air, his bare chest and the side of his face flat against the
table he was about to be fucked on. His legs were bound by his own
pants that were only pulled down enough to allow one of Superman's
legs between Lex's. One of Superman's hands continued to hold Lex's
hips in place but, with the other, he ran a finger from the middle of
Lex's spine, down the vertebrae to the top of his ass. Once there,
the finger delved down the crack, moving slowly, letting Lex feel the
digit against the inside of both of his cheeks. Lex's heavy cock wept
from the sensation and had Lex been anyone else, his eyes would have
probably followed the example of his cock.
His mind still
vacillated back and forth between self-disgust for his own arousal
and relief that his body was ready and able to follow the survival
plan. If he were very lucky, and far more sexually depraved than he'd
ever believed of himself before now, he might even find it
enjoyable.
The finger paused briefly over Lex's perineum,
circled it once, then continued down to the back of his ball sac. The
pants got in the way after that, so the hand traced around Lex's
thigh instead and gripped Lex's aching penis. Superman only stroked
once, pulling down testingly, like a farmer getting the feel of a
cow's tits, when impossibly, horrifyingly, mortifyingly, Lex's body
clenched, white light pooled behind his eyes, shot down his spine and
he shuddered and collapsed in his release.
Superman held him
up, kept him in the position he wanted, but he chuckled and dipped
his fingers in the spilled semen. "If this was what you wanted
all this time, Lex, you should have just asked." White fluid
coated his middle and fore fingers as he moved them away from the
puddle and pressed them into Lex's body. Lex hissed at the stretch
and burn of their entry, but at least it no longer felt like his anal
walls were likely to tear apart under the friction. "Acting like
an asshole isn't the best way to offer yours."
It was
fortunate that Superman did not seem to want or expect a response to
this because, under the circumstances, every retort Lex could come up
with was likely to return them to the kill-Lex scenario instead of
the fuck-Lex one. As that was not in line with his long term plans,
Lex kept his vocalizations to the non-verbal sounds his body seemed
to think were an absolutely necessary response to the fingers moving
inside him. Superman's approval of that line of non-conversation was
obvious in the gentling of his motions and the warmth in his voice as
he said, "That's right, Lex. See how much better this goes when
you just tell me what you need?" Lex gasped as Superman's
fingers touched a place that made his vision fade out and if he
hadn't just come, he was sure that would have set him off. "Liked
that, didn't you?" Superman continued, indulgently. "If
you'd just said you wanted me to fuck you instead of fight you, we
could have both been much happier."
Superman's fingers
pulled out and reached down to scoop up more of Lex's come. Lex
turned his head to look behind him as Superman's other hand released
him as well. Though this was probably his last chance to scramble
away and prevent Superman from fucking him, Lex stayed as he had been
put. There was nowhere to go. He watched as Superman's clean hand
undid a few hidden clasps and released his cock from his costume. Lex
supposed, practically speaking, Clark had needed to put in something
like that so he didn't have to get completely undressed every time he
had to piss, but that didn't mean he had to like that he was going to
get fucked by Superman while he was still mostly dressed in that
despised uniform.
"Clark?" Lex asked, trying to keep
his voice as neutral as possible so he didn't spark another bout of
fury while he was in this vulnerable a position. "Would you mind
stripping completely before fucking me?" In case Superman took
issue with Lex's hatred of the uniform that symbolized all the wrongs
they'd both committed against each other, he added, "I want to
feel more of your skin."
The superhero's unnaturally red
eyes looked down at him, appearing saner now, but Lex felt a chill
even beyond the cold air as their gazes met. He continued to slick
his cock with the handful of semen, then positioned the tip against
Lex's hole. "I know what you want, Luthor. And you'll get it."
He began pushing the tip inside with a pleasured groan as Lex's body
yielded against Lex's will. "Just not yet," Superman
finished, grabbing Lex's hips with both hands and pulling back even
as he thrust forward. Lex screamed as he took all of the Superdick
all at once. For the first time since he was a child, tears ran
unchecked down his cheeks from the waves of fiery pain that pulsed
through out his body, spreading out from his ass.
Deep inside
Lex now, Superman released his hips and snaked one arm around the
bald man's waist, holding him close, keeping the alien penis trapped
within Lex. The other hand ran up his side, sliding over Lex's skin,
stroking it until the hand slipped beneath Lex and found his limp
cock. Superman chuckled. "Too rough for your first time,
baby?"
That was too much. Lex was willing to let a lot
slide in the interests of survival, but not that. "I'm nobody's
baby and certainly not yours," he gritted out.
Superman
only laughed again. "So you do have some spirit left in you.
Good. I almost thought you were going to let me make you my bitch
without a fight." He squeezed his fist around Lex's dick and
rocked his hips re-igniting the dulling pain in Lex's ass. Lex cried
out, no longer able to control his own responses. His right hand
gripped a handful of tablecloth while his left closed around only
air. "Defy me, Luthor," Superman challenged. His hand
squeezed again, bringing fresh tears to Lex's eyes. "I'm going
to fuck you so hard you bleed. I'm going to fuck you until you've
paid for every wrong you ever did. I'm going to fuck you until you
know who you belong to now. So defy me, Luthor, so I know when to
stop."
Lex knew the wise course of action would be to
utterly submit. He knew Superman was spoiling for a reason to hurt
him, to fuck him bloody and without mercy. He was in no position to
fight back, there was no guarantee that in his uncontrolled psychotic
state Superman wouldn't kill him once he began to fuck in anger.
Psychosis fed off itself. Once Superman began hurting there'd be
little chance he'd stop. Lex knew that.
But between his
Luthor genes and Lionel's upbringing, Lex almost literally couldn't
refuse a challenge, couldn't let another person claim that
much of him. "I'll never belong to you," he growled in
spite of his better judgment.
Superman's hands both moved to
Lex's hips again, gripping him bruisingly hard. Lex tried to relax
his body as much as possible and he attempted to brace himself
against the table. He closed his eyes and tried to distance his mind
from his body. Superman's dick pulled most of the way out of him and
for a moment, nothing happened. The air seemed to hold still for a
suspended moment in time. And then Superman howled and he began to
fuck in earnest.
The body had no sense of time. It
knew pain, but only as a distant enveloping haze, something that
existed everywhere but wasn't worth noticing. The body knew the deep
shuddering thrusts of the cock that moved inside it, shaking every
part of it as the cock penetrated its deepest recesses, as the balls
slapped loud and hard again it, as the hips drove the body down with
each powerful impact. It knew the press and pull of fingers that
directed its movements. It knew the dry rasp of air as it hoarsely
tried to gasp, moan, shout, whimper, or otherwise verbalize what was
happening to it. After the initial intensity of pain faded, it knew
arousal. It knew the pull of fingers and fist along its own cock. It
knew the wet feel of tears on its face as the body was driven beyond
what its mind had ever known before. It knew the sharp sting of the
Other's teeth as they broke its skin to claim it. It knew the suction
of its own blood being drunk. It knew the spill of semen into its
depths even as the Other's cock stayed hard and continued to pound
into it. It had no conception of how long the fucking lasted. It
could not count the number of times the Other drank of its blood or
climaxed within its body; in some ways it seemed as if this had been
the only thing it had ever known. Eventually, though, it knew the
retreating pull and the empty sensation as it ceased being joined to
the Other.
It knew the chill of its remaining clothes being
removed. It knew the impression of floating as it was carried away
from the hard table it had soaked with its own sweat, tears, blood,
and semen. It knew the gentle caress of a softer surface accepting
its weight and the rustle of more clothes moving against the Other's
skin. It knew the warmth of a larger body moving over it, arranging
it onto its back. It knew the push of hands that spread its legs
apart and it grunted as the Other returned.
It knew the feel
of skin against skin, of bare arms encasing its torso. It knew the
taste of the Other's tongue in its mouth. It knew the panic that came
when it was not allowed enough oxygen. It knew deep panting gasps as
its lungs finally did fill again just before its mouth was taken and
the process repeated. It knew the erratic pulsing of its own
heartbeat through its veins and under its skin. It knew the creak of
the mattress under it and the undulation of both its own body and the
Other's as they continued to rut. It knew the feel of hair between
its fingers and powerful hips between its legs as it grasped life in
a death-grip.
It knew it could die from this, but that just
made each gasping breath it was allowed sweeter. That just made every
sensation that much more intense, knowing it could be its last. The
body took everything the Other gave to it, answering in kind,
determined that, if it did die, it was going to die having fully
experienced sex at its most extreme. The mind might have objected to
that but the mind had given up control to the body long ago, trusting
it to know how best to survive. The mind would cope with what the
body did and knew once that outcome was achieved.
Eventually,
though, the body failed. Its limbs felt heavy. Its awareness seemed
coated in heavy fog. Its muscles lost their strength. It knew
exhaustion. It fought against it, but complete and utter exhaustion
could not be held back indefinitely by will alone. Soon, it knew it
couldn't hold out a moment longer and its eyes rolled back in its
head. And then it knew nothing but blackness.
Day 2
When Lex awoke, he was surprisingly pain-free. For a
moment, he wondered if maybe it had all been a nightmare and he had
just fallen asleep on his couch in his penthouse. Then he noticed he
was naked and somebody equally naked was holding him against his
chest and stroking his fingers over Lex's skin. The air was cold and
Lex shivered. The fingers stilled and the hand pressed flat against
him. "You're awake," Superman observed. "Good. The
Fortress fixed you so now we can get back to the fucking."
Not
a nightmare then. "The ray gun must have had some kind of
aphrodisiac effect, in addition to its other behavioral influences,"
Lex theorized out loud, not so much to delay the promised fucking as
because he felt it should be put out there. "You're not normally
this horny, and your stamina is just unnatural."
Superman
shifted them around and laid Lex down on his stomach on the bed
they'd been laying on. His hand ran over Lex's body, letting it come
to a rest atop his ass. The thumb massaged the muscle there and Lex
felt an unwelcome stirring in his groin. "You were in the
healing matrix for five hours and slept for another ten,"
Superman informed him, pushing Lex's legs apart and settling between
them. Both hands were rubbing against his ass now. "I enjoyed
exploring you while you slept, but I am glad to have you awake
again." He pulled apart the ass cheek and breathed wet warm air
over Lex's hole. Lex bucked from the unexpected sensation and might
have made a very pathetic mewling sound. Despite himself, he was well
on his way to full arousal.
Superman chuckled, not moving his
face away from Lex's ass, so he could feeling the breath of it
against him. A facial cheek rubbed against an ass cheek and Lex could
hear Superman's amusement as he taunted, "You are much more
entertaining to play with when you know what I'm doing to you."
The hands pulled his ass open further. "You're going to enjoy
this, Lex," he promised. "You were such a good sport
yesterday that I'm going to give you some treats today." Lex
cried out in shock and surprise as a rough wet thing that might very
well have been Superman's tongue licked over his asshole.
"You're well rested and the AI gave you enough nutrients to keep
you healthy, so I expect I'll be able to have you for eight or nine
hours before you collapse again."
"Oh God," Lex
cursed, half in horror at that idea, half in reverence as the tongue
again pressed against his hole, this time just barely breaching
it.
Superman chuckled again and gave another light lick.
"You're going to love every moment of it this time, Lex.
Yesterday was for me. Today is for you."
Lex would have
liked to comment that if today was for him, he had a few suggestions
that didn't involve parts of Superman being inside Lex's ass, but
then that tongue was there and Lex found that he really didn't mind
that so much and, well, he wasn't really entirely verbal at that
point anyway.
When the white fog of desperate arousal cleared
and he could think properly again, he could feel the heavy weight of
Superman lying atop of him, his dick hard against Lex's cleft but not
inside him, which Lex found rather surprising and perhaps even a
little disappointing. The tongue that had so recently driven him to
climax without even having his cock touched traced the inside of his
ear and then Superman whispered, "Lex, do you want me inside you
now?"
Options flashed briefly through his mind, but Lex
knew there was only one right answer. He nodded. "Yes." As
much as he hated himself for it, it wasn't even completely a
lie.
Superman laughed again, and lubed fingers began to
stretch him. "That's right, Lex," he agreed indulgently,
"you want my big cock up this pretty little ass of yours."
Lex wasn't sure which he should be more offended by - being told that
he had a pretty little ass or the overly confident assurance Superman
had about how much Lex wanted him. But the alien's fingers were far
more talented than the rough treatment yesterday had suggested and
any protest he might have made was superseded by a gasp of pleasure
as Superman demonstrated just how erogenous the inside of his body
was turning out to be. "I'm going to take you slow and gentle,
Lex," Superman told him, whispering in his ear again.
"Okay,"
Lex agreed because Superman seemed to be expecting some kind of
response from him.
Superman kissed the back of Lex's skull and
Lex wondered if maybe the effects of the ray gun were slowly going
away by themselves. Superman seemed calmer, and certainly more
considerate and affectionate, today than he had yesterday.
Alternatively, the alien might just be experiencing extreme mood
swings and Lex had woken up during a particularly pleasant (if still
horny and arrogant) phase.
The fingers pulled out of him and
he felt the blunt tip of Superman's cock against his entrance. "I'm
going to push in now," Superman warned softly. "Let me know
if I hurt you. I don't want you in pain this time."
"Okay,"
Lex agreed again, letting his body relax as much as it could even as
he wondered if that 'this time' referred back to wanting to hurt him
yesterday or whether it meant Superman would want to cause pain again
in the future. Further consideration on the matter was cut off
as Superman did as promised. The cock breached him slowly.
His forehead dropped against the mattress as if the tendons in his
neck had ceased to exist and he forced his lungs to continue working
properly. He knew, intellectually, that he'd been fucked for
hours the night before, but this was different. His memory of
last night lacked anything but the most basic self-awareness.
He could have been anybody or nobody at all. Now, though, he
was fully cognizant that the alien's penis was pushing firmly into
his, Lex Luthor's, ass.
"Fuck," he
gasped.
Superman stilled, only about an inch of him inside.
"Am I hurting you?"
Lex shook his head but welcomed
the moment of reprieve. The stretch of his body was
uncomfortable, but it was his mind that needed the time to get used
to what was happening more. "Just need a second to
adjust."
Lips pressed against the middle of his back and
Superman murmured, "Whenever you're ready."
He
almost wished Superman would just take what he wanted and not give
Lex any choice in the matter, as he had the night before. Then
he could call it rape and absolve himself of any complicity.
Now it was back to what it had begun as, before Superman had lost his
temper and lost any concern he may have had for Lex's well-being: Lex
was whoring his body to survive the next days or possibly weeks or
more with minimal pain and suffering. He could live with that.
"I'm ready," he told Superman and made his body relax
further.
Superman pressed in. Lex felt the deep burn of
penetration as their bodies joined and interlocked as deeply and
completely as two separate people could. He could feel a pulse
in his ass and wondered if it was Superman's or his own. A kiss
pressed against the side of his neck, and then Superman's voice spoke
in a lower than normal register, "You're so tight."
Lex's
ass muscles contracted around the cock inside him, almost
involuntarily. God, there was a cock inside him. Superman
hissed in pleasure as Lex's muscles continued to loosen and tighten
around him, exploring the size and shape of the invader from the
inside. Superman's mouth and teeth latched onto the same place
on Lex's neck that had just been kissed. "Mmm, that's
good, Lex." He bit down gently and sucked on the skin of
Lex's neck, marking it. "Keep doing that."
Lex
did, not because he was told to or to create pleasure, but because
there was a cock up his ass. He had to
examine its dimensions, learn the feel of it, find out everything
about that part of the alien that his body could determine. Any
horror, disgust, shame, or embarrassment he had felt for giving his
body to a male of an extraterrestrial species vanished in the face of
actually having it encased within him while he had enough active
brain cells left to think about it. Curiosity consumed him as
it hadn't in many years. He arched his back for a slightly
better angle and pressed back, trying to use his ass muscles to pull
Superman deeper inside him. "What's it like, Kal -El?"
he asked, refusing to call him Superman right now, but calling him
Clark would be just as inaccurate in his current state. "Do
Kryptonians have intercourse the same way humans do?" Last
night indicated yes, but last night had been about domination not
pleasure. Superman may have intentionally kept to human
traditions so Lex grasped all the intricacies. "Is there
anything different that gets you off?"
Superman chuckled
lowly and nipped at Lex's earlobe. "You want to have
Kryptonian sex?"
Lex moaned as Superman pulled out an
inch or two and then pressed back in. God, that felt almost
ridiculously good. "Ye-es," he answered in an
unsteady voice as Superman repeated the motion.
"You're
having it." Lex found himself surprisingly disappointed
that there wasn't anything decidedly alien about it. He was
fairly sure he hadn't been hoping for tentacles or anything, but
he'd expected something to be different. Superman seemed
to sense this because he chuckled again as he continued to move
slowly in and out of Lex's body. "If you want something
kinkier, we can do that later." He wrapped an arm around
Lex's waist and laid his chest against Lex's back as he pulled them
together again. His voice whispered into Lex's other ear now,
"What do you think, Lex? Do you want me to tie you up and
feed you? Use toys to make it last hours? Dress you in
Kryptonian clothes before having you?"
Abruptly, Lex
became acutely aware that, despite his earlier orgasm, he was
definitely up and painfully ready for another one. Superman's
hand closed around Lex's cock. Humor laced his tone, "I'll
take this as a yes." At some point, Lex needed to take
himself aside and have a long talk with his libido to discuss why
such ideas were unbecoming of a Luthor. Not now, though,
because Superman lifted away from Lex's back and placed a kiss
between his shoulder blades just before he began to jack Lex off and
pick up the pace. Lex's ability to reason dropped off
exponentially with each shift of their hips and pull of Superman's
fist.
When it came back, he was lying on his back beside the
wet spot he'd left on the mattress. Superman had one hand under
Lex's knee, holding that leg up and to the side while the other leg
was splayed out in the other direction, leaving Lex's body completely
exposed and open. Superman knelt between the legs as his other
hand tenderly used a warm cloth to wipe Lex clean. "God,
Lex, I'm so sorry," he said, surprising Lex but the depth of
pain and regret in his eyes and voice. For a moment, he thought
maybe Clark was himself again and that whatever the ray gun had done
had run its course. But then he laid Lex's leg down gently and
slid the hand down the underside of that thigh to cup Lex's
buttocks. "I should have seen sooner how beautiful you
are, how much you needed me."
Clearly, he was still
delusional.
Lex didn't quite dare to take advantage of the
devotion shining now in Superman's eyes, for fear he would grow angry
and shift moods again, so Lex just reached up and cupped a cheek of
Superman's face and stroked it as Superman was stroking the cheek of
Lex's ass. In the interest of making it last as long as
possible, Lex humored the delusion. "It's okay, Clark. You
know now. Kiss me and just hold me for a little while."
The intent was to put off the next round of sex for a little while,
until his body could recover, but when lips pressed lovingly against
his, Lex realized the unexpected flaw in his plan, the drawback of
this delusion.
It hurt. The tenderness and apology in
the kiss seared through him with an agony that last night's fucking
had never managed. "I'm so sorry, Lex," Clark said
again. "I should have realized sooner that I got so mad at
you because I love you." His thumb brushed over Lex's
cheekbone. "I was so blind, and not even x-ray vision
helped me see what I was missing." Another kiss, painful
in its uncomplicated sincerity for no other reason than because it
wasn't real. Clark didn't mean what he was saying
because Clark was completely insane. And Lex had to be
right there in Bedlam with him because if he was in his right mind
himself, this wouldn't affect him. He wouldn't care what
delusional things came out of the alien's mouth because he hated
Clark. He was a violent interfering lying bastard who
refused to believe anything but the worst of Lex. Even if this
were real, an apology, a kiss, and a declaration of love would never
make up for everything he did. And Lex didn't want an
apology, kiss, or declaration of love anyway. Well, maybe an
apology, just so he could spurn it.
Lips kissed the skin
beside Lex's right eye and then his mouth again, and this time Lex
tasted salt. Clark settled beside him, pulling him in close,
and holding them together. A blanket seemed to appear as if
from nowhere (though it was probably just Superman leaving and coming
back too quickly to register) and Clark tucked it around them.
Fingers traced patterns over his skin and lips pressed repeatedly
against his forehead, face and mouth. "I'll make it up to
you, Lex," Clark promised. "Sleep for a little
while. Rest. I'll be here when you wake up. I'll be
here for you from now on."
Lex was tired. And Clark
and the blanket were so pleasantly warm. His eyes drifted
closed.
When they opened again, he was dressed in what he
assumed was a Kryptonian style. Fortunately, it was something
that more resembled robes than the Superman costume. They were white
with a primary colored edging on the sleeves and collar that depicted
the symbol of the House of El. He was also tied to the
headboard. After a few moments, Superman appeared, dressed in
his costume again. "Hello, Lex," he smiled, the
devotion from earlier now absent, though he seemed calm enough that
Lex wasn't overly concerned about being tied up. "Are you
hungry?"
With only minimal difficulty, Lex maneuvered
himself into a sitting position against the headboard he was tied
to. Superman was there suddenly, tightening the ropes so that
Lex couldn't move his wrists at all. "Hey!" Lex
protested, feeling oddly betrayed by the restraints when, what seemed
like just a moment ago, Clark had been promising to make everything
up to him. Intellectually, he knew that had been just a
mood that wouldn't last long, but he was still disconcerted by the
change in behavior.
Superman's kiss now was sultry and
demanding. Lex returned it after only a moment's hesitation.
The fingers that stroked over his robe covered crotch as if in reward
promised that the bindings served a purpose that was primarily
sexual. Superman broke the kiss with a bite at Lex's lower
lip. "First, I'm going to feed you some food, and then you
can wash it down by drinking my come. How's that sound?"
Lex
was still uncertain about his opinion of giving a blow job, but he
recognized where Superman's current plans were coming from.
"Kinky."
Superman smirked. "So you like
the idea."
He was in far too deep to change the plan
now. "I like the idea."
Superman helped him
into a kneeling position on the bed before tying a blindfold around
Lex's eyes. He began to spoon feed Lex a variety of different foods,
which Lex was then supposed to identify. He did well on the
Asian, French, and Italian dishes, but not so well on the Mexican,
African, or Indian cuisines. He got a perfect score on the sips
of wine he was fed, even naming the year in a few particularly
distinctive cases. He did as equally perfect on the test of
hard liquors but abysmal on the beer tasting (most of which he spit
out). He was actually almost enjoying himself when he was asked
to open his mouth again. But this time, instead of a spoon,
fork, or glass, what was placed between his lips was thick and heavy
and tasted of sweat, salt, and something indefinable. He tried
to reach forward to hold the hips he knew were right in front of his
face, but the ropes held fast and his hands didn't go anywhere.
He
was bound and blindfolded and giving his first real blow job.
Yes, he could vaguely recall that his mouth had been fucked the night
before but that was entirely different. Now, it was his lips
closing voluntarily around the shaft he'd been given. His
tongue wrapped around it, exploring its texture and taste, and adding
further information to the discoveries his ass had made of its girth
and shape. He leaned forward, taking in more of it.
Fingers clasped around the back of his head, some against his
bare skin, some dislodging the blindfold slightly, though not enough
to let him see anything. "Mm, that's right, Lex. You
want more to drink of this, don't you?"
Lex hummed, a
sound meant to be non-committal, but intended to be interpreted as
affirmative and pleasurable. Honestly, though, Lex found that
cock-sucking wasn't nearly as bad as the homophobic name-callers
always made it out to be. It was actually . . . he shifted
forward a little more, filling his mouth completely so that the blunt
tip of it bumped against the back of his throat. He waited
until Superman's hands steadied on his head again, then gave an
experimental suck and heard Superman gasp. Lex felt him give a small,
possibly involuntary, thrust of his hips. Cock sucking was
actually pretty fascinating.
From his own experience on the
receiving end, he knew teeth were bad, so he tried to avoid that, but
on the handful of times he hadn't been able to prevent it, Superman's
invulnerability seemed to make up for Lex's lack of experience.
He only triggered his gag reflex twice, and when he did eventually
bring Superman off, he even managed to swallow most of the come
without choking.
The cock slipped out of his mouth and the
same napkin that had wiped up spills of beer and Chicken Tikka Masala
cleaned up the semen that dribbled down his chin. Once that was
done, Superman removed the blindfold, and traced his fingers around
Lex's swollen lips. "You haven't done that very often,
have you?"
Lex shook his head, and his voice was hoarse
as he confirmed, "Not recently." There was no way in
Hell he was admitting that Superman got anywhere first.
"You'll
get better at it with practice," Superman encouraged.
Lex
looked insulted. "I got you off, didn't I?"
Fingers
stroked his face soothingly. "That's not what I meant.
You have a wonderful mouth, Lex. I was just saying that next
time it will be easier for you."
Allowing himself to be
mollified, he pulled at his wrists. "Now that you tied me
up and fed me, can you let me go?"
Catching the wrist and
stilling it, Superman shook his head. "Not yet.
We're up to the toys." With no more warning than that, he
pulled up the robes Lex was wearing and fastened a cock ring around
him. As Lex hissed from that, Superman let the robe drop down
around his knees again. Superman smirked at him. "Now,
I sexually torment you for several hours until I decide to let you
come." Superman then loosened the restraints only enough
so that Lex was able to lie down on his back again. Once he was
settled on the mattress, Superman lifted one of Lex's feet up into
his lap. "We'll begin here."
Superman didn't
need hours. Thirty-five minutes had been more than sufficient
to bring Lex to incoherence in his need and Superman hadn't even
touched him anywhere obviously sexual yet. He was, in fact,
still clothed in the Kryptonian robe (though, to be fair, Superman
had reached under it on many occasions). The following forty
minutes were worse as Superman lifted the robe up to his waist,
spread his legs apart, and began fingering him. The next hours
were the most tortuous of all as Superman finally began fucking him
properly.
Tears
streamed unchecked down his face as Lex begged for his release, but
Superman just thrust in and out of him with powerful tireless
strokes, coming several times himself though each time he stayed hard
and kept fucking with barely any pause, the come seeming to be more
to re-lubricate than provide release. "Please," Lex
begged, throat sore and voice ragged, "Please, Clark, let me,
Superman, please,Kal-El."
"You wanted kinky
Kryptonian sex," Superman reminded him after what seemed like
days but was actually only four hours since he began massaging Lex's
foot. "Well, now you've had it." With that, he
took off the cock ring and thrust into Lex's body four more times as
it shuddered and quaked with the most powerful release Lex could
remember ever having. The fragile thread his consciousness was
hanging onto was sundered as Superman's final thrust signaled his own
forceful orgasm.
Day 3
Lex had expected to feel sore. He'd spent almost all of his waking time
yesterday having sex. As he came awake on the third day of his
captivity to Superman, Lex reached behind himself to probe
experimentally at his anus, but there was not so much as a twinge of
pain. He knew he healed quickly, but this was remarkable even
for him.
"You were making annoying sounds while you
slept," Superman stated from nearby, sounding cross. "So
I put you in the healing matrix again to shut you up."
Lex's eyes, which had just begun to flutter open, closed again and he
sighed. It looked like today wasn't going to be one of the good
days.
Superman roughly rolled him onto his back and
shoved his legs apart. Lex offered no resistance. Since
arriving, he'd been thoroughly fucked and used. He had nothing
left that hadn't already been both taken and given. "No
fight left?" Superman taunted.
Lex lifted his eyebrows
and smirked, even as his mind marveled at the sudden epiphany that he
didn't want to fight Clark. Superman.
Whoever. And more than that, he didn't have to. It
took two to really fight. If one didn't play along, the other
was just spinning his wheels and not getting anywhere. So he
stretched his arms languidly over his head, and spread his legs wider
in invitation. "I see no reason to. You'll fuck me
either way, so why delay the best part? Will you tie me
again?"
Superman sneered at him, but Lex saw the lust in
his red-tinged eyes and the way his fingers twitched toward Lex.
"You always were a slut, Lex."
Understanding bloomed
unexpectedly and Lex couldn't stop his eyes widening in his shock and
surprise. "You were jealous," he said, unable
to keep the realization to himself. "All these years you
lectured me about my wives and girlfriends and my 'immoral ways', but
you were jealous." He laughed with the exhilaration
of having solved a particularly difficult riddle after too many years
of puzzling over it. "You've wanted me since high school,
haven't you, Clark? Well, now you've got me, ready and willing
in your bed. What are you going to do about that?"
Without
seeming to move, Superman was suddenly over him, their faces inches
apart. Both of his wrists were captured in iron strong grips
over his head. Lex's heart pounded loudly in his chest, but for
all that Superman's eyes almost glowed in anger and impending
violence, it wasn't from fear. It was excitement. He
hadn't felt this alive in years. "I'm going to fuck you,"
Superman growled dangerously in answer to his question, his tone of
voice making that sound like a bad thing.
Lex had
stopped believing that everything Clark considered bad was actually
bad a long time ago. "Good," he said, equally fierce,
and bucking under him, grinding their groins together. "I'd
be disappointed if you didn't." And that, Lex was
disconcerted to realize, was the truth.
Day 12
Lex was no longer sure of exactly how long he'd been
kept in Superman's Fortress. He thought it was easily more than
a week, possibly two, but still less than a month. Some days he
never ate solid food. He assumed he was given enough nutrients
to survive on, washed, and cleared of waste during his nightly visit
to the healing matrix because he rarely felt hungry and he had yet to
use a toilet since arriving. He'd only left the bed twice.
Once he'd eaten at the banquet table he'd first been fucked on (and
once Lex had finished his meal, Superman had cleared the table off
and had put Lex up on it again so he could have a feast of his own).
The other time, Superman had been in a particularly generous mood and
gave Lex a tour of the Fortress (he'd actually phrased the activity
as 'I'm going to fuck you against every ice wall in this chasm' but
Lex wasn't picky - 'you haven't fucked me there yet' had proved the
most useful phrase he'd ever uttered).
The first few minutes
of the day were the most difficult. He could never be sure what
kind of mood Superman would be. He could manipulate all of
them. Even the most baleful moods could be turned to create
incredible orgasms. The trick was figuring out which mood he
was in because the triggers that would bring a towering rage into
powerfully focused sexual prowess would insult and offend the more
human mood swings and then he'd get lectured for the better part of
an hour about how he was more than a body and Clark loved him and
didn't he see that there was more to life than sex and physical
relief? And then to 'prove' his point, Superman wouldn't even
have sex with him because that would be enforcing a negative self
image. So Lex had to be very careful about how he interacted
with Superman until he could gauge how to turn his thoughts to sex.
This wasn't difficult in any case, and often didn't require any
effort at all, so fortunately the morning disorientation usually
didn't last very long.
Today, though, as Lex opened his eyes,
he found himself alone. This was not unprecedented, though, so
at first he just sat up and made himself comfortable against the
headboard and waited for Superman to bring him breakfast.
Whenever Superman wasn't already in bed with him when Lex woke up,
he'd usually arrive with food within a minute or two. But after
almost ten, he still hadn't arrived. Frowning, and a little
concerned, Lex got out of bed and found theKryptonian robe Superman
sometimes dressed him in and went to look for him. "Kal?"
No answer. Lex navigated the hallways to the main
chamber, "Kal?"
"Kal-El has gone out," the
AI's voice seemed to come from everywhere.
It had never
directly addressed Lex before, and he'd only heard it address
Superman two or three times. Normally, he'd be asking it a
thousand questions about everything he could think of, but the
information it had already given was enough to focus Lex's thoughts
in one direction. Superman was not exactly sane right now.
Who knew what he might be doing out in the real world.
Pulverizing LexCorp Tower. Decapitating all of Lex's surviving
wives (not necessarily a bad thing, but Clark would feel guilty about
it when he regained his sanity and Lex's vindictiveness towards Clark
had been pretty well fucked into submission by now - he was less sure
if that was true forgiveness or just Stockholm's Syndrome).
Assisting with monsoon survivors. Causing mass destruction.
Any or all of them were distinct possibilities. "What's he
doing?"
The was a momentary pause before it answered,
"Ransacking your Smallville residence."
Lex hadn't
been there in years and hadn't lived there in longer.
"Why?"
Lex could swear there was a trace of
disapproval in the artificial voice as it answered, "I believe
he said he was looking for bottled water."
Absolutely,
positively, completely insane. Lex shook his head slowly,
bringing his formidable intellect back on line to consider this
opportunity. "I assume you want him back to
normal?"
"Yes." There was no hesitation
at all. "What do you need?"
Not what.
Who. "Mercy Graves. I need to talk to her."
"Done."
The voice said, and a moment later Mercy's voice stated her name in
short clipped syllables.
"Mercy, this is Lex."
"Boss!"
she exclaimed, possibly the most emotion he'd ever heard from her.
"Where are you?"
"Superman's Fortress of
Solitude. Mercy, I need you to get my laptop and send
everything I have on the kryptonite powered ray gun to the Justice
League."
"The Justice League," she repeated
flatly, clearly unimpressed with his plan.
"Batman has
the best chance of figuring out how to reverse the effects. If
he can't, the AI here can hack into the Watchtower's system and try
to find something as well."
"Very well," she
grudgingly agreed. Then, more determinedly, "While they do
that, I'll find you."
"No," Lex refused.
"I'll be fine as long as no one interrupts and angers him.
If you want to help me, offer your assistance to the League finding
that cure."
There was a brief silence, then the AI
announced, "She hung up."
Lex nodded. She
wasn't happy with her orders, but she wouldn't disobey them without
compelling cause. "Will you let the League past the defenses
when they come with the cure?" he asked the AI. Once it gave an
affirmative answer, Lex turned to a less pressing but still needful
matter. "AI, am I correct in assuming you are the source of the
coffee and danishes Kal-El brings me sometimes?"
"They
are available on the table, Lex Kal-El." At the name the
AI gave him, Lex felt a chill that had little to do with the cold
air. He pulled the white Kryptonian robe closer around him and
tried not to notice he was wearing the El house symbol in the piping
on the sleeves and collar. He made his way to the banquet table
without correcting his name. For all he knew, he had
participated in a Kryptonian wedding ceremony. If he had to
wager a guess, he'd say it happened the second day. Superman
had urged him to say any number of things that Lex had carelessly
repeated in hopes that Superman would release the cock ring.
Hell, the white robe might very well be some kind of bridal dress.
By the time he finished his breakfast, Superman had returned
brandishing a bottle of Ty Nant. "Lex."
"Kal."
Superman
handed him the water. "Drink."
Curious, but
willing to wash down the last of his danish with the water instead of
the cooling coffee, he uncapped the bottle and began to drink,
watching Superman out of the corner of his eye. Superman
watched Lex avidly. When Lex lowered the bottle, Superman's
eyes glittered with red. "Kneel." Ah.
Superman had an oral fixation today. Lex moved in front of him
then gracefully knelt down. Superman released his cock from his
uniform and Lex licked his lips as he looked at it. Then he
wrapped those same lips that were still cool from the chilled TyNant
bottle around the heated head of Superman's cock.
Large hands
held his head and guided him forward so that he engulfed more of the
thick flesh. Superman had been right. It had gotten
easier with practice and now he was even able to relax his throat so
that he could take the whole thing to the root. "God, Lex,
I remember watching you drink that water," Superman told him,
pulling out then pressing back in. "I never understood
then why I got so flustered." He gave a small thrust of
his hips and his fingers tightened briefly, "But now I
do."
With a mouth and throat full of cock, Lex could only
hum in response, but he wondered if his own enjoyment of drinking
from the phallic water bottles in front of Clark had been rooted in
the same repressed interest.
Day 23
For the first couple of days after he'd contacted Mercy, Lex had expected
the League to come charging in with the cure. Or possibly that
Hope and Charity would appear, guns blazing, following his order to
the letter in that Mercy wouldn't been involved. But the
days passed as they had since Lex had been abducted. He became
downright skilled in the art of giving head and was damn proud of his
accomplishment. He developed a Pavlovian response to waking up
with his hands tied. He'd never be able to look at a banquet
table again without getting hard. The bed he slept on was as
much Lex's as it was Superman's. He returned the kisses of all
variants of Superman without any hesitation or painful concern about
it not being real. Not because he thought Superman's delusions
were real now, but simply because repeated exposure taught him that
Clark did mean it for however many hours that mood lasted.
Also, the fact that every mood seemed to enjoy having him in bed (or
on a table or against a wall or on his knees) suggested that even
when all these separate bits of Superman gelled back into one whole,
that whole would probably still want him.
On the morning
everything changed, Lex hadn't exactly forgotten the League was
looking for a cure, nor had he entirely given up hope that they'd
find one, but he had stopped expecting them to appear. So when
he woke to angry shouts and the sound of things crashing around
outside his bedroom, he quickly dressed himself in the Kryptonian
robes, located the pair of handcuffs that Superman had used once
instead of the ropes that usually bound him, and used them to fasten
himself to the headboard once he had strategically arranged the robes
to best show off his eager assets while still flaunting the El
symbols for the most possessive effect.
When the door swung
open, he'd expected Superman to storm in, completely incensed over
something Lex had done months or years ago. He had not expected
Batman to step into the room and stop with a hanging jaw as he took
in Lex's attire and position. "Fuck!" Lex cursed,
twisting his body so that the robe fell and covered his erection.
"Bruce! Don't you knock?! Where's Superman?"
"He
passed out when I hit him with the revised ray gun."
Batman moved to the side of the bed and picked the lock to the
handcuffs, releasing him. "I assumed he was torturing
you. I did not expect you to be in any condition to care if I
knocked or not."
Lex did not let himself flush. "I
found an alternative to pain, suffering, and eventual death."
"I
see that." The voice was dry but lacked censure or
ridicule.
Reclaiming his wrists, Lex rubbed at them, though
they hadn't been confined for more than a minute. He got off
the bed and fastened the robe more securely around himself. "I
assume you're here because you found a cure."
"Yes,"
Batman confirmed but did not elaborate.
"How long have I
been gone?"
"A little over three weeks."
Not long enough for his board to have elected a new CEO, but long
enough that the acting one might have begun to get hopeful.
With luck, Mercy hadn't been too busy trying to find him to prevent
any bounds from being overstepped.
"Will Superman
remember anything?"
Batman shook his head. "I
don't know. We'll find out when he wakes up."
Lex
honestly wasn't sure how he would prefer it. It really depended
on Clark's stance on what they'd done. "When will that
be?"
"Soon, I imagine."
Lex nodded.
"Aside from me, did he do anything he might regret? I know
he was here whenever I was awake, but what about the rest of the
time?" Batman gave him a narrowed eyed look of suspicion.
Lex returned it with an irritated one of his own, "Batman, I
spent the last three weeks as Superman's sex slave. I have more
than enough to hold over him if that's what I want to do."
Batman
huffed, but answered the question. "He tossed a few of
your properties, but we were able to stop him from hurting anybody."
His eyes darted briefly to the handcuffs lying on the bed. "We
had wondered why he went after some of your ex-wives and
girlfriends."
"So they're all still alive?
Pity."
"Hannah Bishop didn't survive the month, but
that was unrelated. Her new husband killed her two days after
they got married."
Lex lifted an eyebrow. "If
she did the same thing she did to me, that is hardly surprising.
Good for him."
"He's in prison."
"That's
why I didn't do it. Better him than me."
How Lex
knew the Batman was lifting an eyebrow when he was wearing that mask
was difficult to say, but he did. "I can hardly believe a
potential prison sentence would prevent you from doing anything,
Luthor."
Lex shrugged. "Her family's lawyers
are even better than mine are. It was hardly prudent to risk
getting into a legal battle with them."
"Lex."
Lex spun toward the voice from the hall. Clark stood there in
Daily Planet garb. He looked awful, and it wasn't just the suit
and glasses. He looked like he hadn't slept in weeks, though
Lex knew he'd looked fine (if a bit red-eyed and insane) just
yesterday. "Batman, could you give us a minute?"
Clark asked, not looking at the costumed hero or Lex.
Batman
looked between them once then nodded. "I'll be in the hall
if you need me."
In another moment, they were alone.
Clark ran a hand through his messy hair. "God, Lex, I
don't even know where to start." He still didn't meet
Lex's eyes.
Lex moved in front of him, forcing him to look at
him. "Let's start with the easy one. Do you remember
everything?"
Somehow, Clark went both red and green at
the same time and he squeezed his eyes painfully closed. Lex
supposed that answered well enough, but Clark nodded and blasphemed
again, "God."
It seemed mostly guilt,
self-disgust, and self-horror that he seemed to be feeling, so Lex
ventured another question. "Here's the next easy one.
Do you think I'm physically attractive?"
Clark's eyes
snapped open, obviously taken by surprise by the question.
"Don't ask me that, Lex," he begged in a pained
voice.
Lex's heart constricted, but he wanted to hear from
Clark's mouth that he thought Lex was a bald freak before he assumed
the worst. Every mood had told him he was beautiful or hot or
some other equivalent compliment. They couldn't have all been
lying. "Here's a harder one. Did we get married?
The AI calls me Lex Kal-El."
Green eyes squeezed closed
again. Lex was sure that not even kryptonite had ever made him
look that miserable. "I won't hold you to it, Lex.
You didn't know what you were saying."
So he'd been
right. Satisfaction surged through him until he processed that
Clark was attempting to void it. They'd been married for over
three weeks and Clark wanted to annul Lex's most successful marriage
and pretend it had never happened. Of course, while Lex might
have not known what he was saying, Clark had been completely insane.
It probably wasn't valid anyway. It certainly wouldn't hold up
in any human court. In the most selfless gesture Lex had ever
made in his life, he grated, "You were out of your mind. I
won't hold you to it either."
Sharp green eyes zeroed in
on him then, confusion and suspicion showing clearly in their
depths. "Are you implying that you want to be
married to me?"
Lex threw up his hands and stalked away
from Clark, pacing toward the other side of the room. "I
don't know, Clark! I've taken more of your semen into my body
in the last three weeks than I've ever spilled into all of my wives
combined. I've been married eight times and yours is the only
one that lasted longer than a week. Helen doesn't count because
she had me declared dead for most of the time we were married."
Reaching the end of the room, he spun around and stalked back toward
Clark. "Meanwhile, you were batshit crazy and the closest
you ever came to killing me was some really enthusiastic sex.
Hell, Clark, even when we hated each other and I was taking potshots
at you, you never tried to kill me." Stopping in front of
Clark again, Lex's temper suddenly snapped and he slammed both of his
fists against Clark's chest. "Damn you, Clark! I'd
never been penetrated before you! You said I was beautiful! You
said you loved me! You can't just leave me because you're suddenly
sane again! I'm yours, Clark. You took me over and over
again and told me so many times in so many different ways from so
many different personalities, and now that I believe it, you can't
just say it was never real!"
Clark's arms closed around
him and he was guided to the bed. Clark sat down and directed
Lex to sit down next to him. "Lex," he said
cautiously, as if Lex were now the crazy one. It wasn't
impossible. He knew there were better than even odds that he
was suffering from Stockholm's Syndrome to some degree. "I'm
going to ask you two questions and I want you to answer as honestly
as possible. Okay?" Lex nodded, though he silently
reserved the right to lie depending on the question. "When
did it stop being rape? And by rape, I mean, when were you no
longer concerned for your life if you didn't have sex with me?"
Lex
shook his head. "That's an unfair question. I never
stopped being afraid of that. But ever since we were married, I
wanted the sex as much as you did. I only considered the first
night as remotely non-consensual. The second day was enjoyable
whoring. After the wedding, it was sex, plain and
simple."
Clark blinked in surprise. "You knew
I'd married us?"
"Not at the time. I figured
it out later. When you went to get the Ty Nant bottle, the AI called
me Lex Kal-El, and I worked it out from there. It was the
second day, right? During the first cock ring encounter?"
The
arms around his tightened briefly, and for a second, Lex was sure
Clark was going to kiss him, but then he didn't. "Yes."
Lex nodded, pleased by his own deductions. "Okay, the
second question that I want you to answer honestly." Lex
thought about protesting that he'd already answered two questions
honestly, but he'd known the one about knowing they were married was
an aside. He nodded for Clark to proceed. "Do you
love me?"
Lex laughed, the sound bitter. "Fuck,
Clark. I don't believe in love anymore. Even if I did, I
don't know what the hell I feel for you. I was just a
fucking sex slave to an insane alien who I could never know from one
hour to the next if he was going to fuck me like an animal or just
hold me. I knew he wasn't really you in any real sense, but
damn if that mattered when he was balls deep in me or telling me he
loved me. I had no other name but yours to give him. All
I know is I don't want you to vanish from my life. Even before
this happened, I'd rather fight you that lose you entirely. And
now the idea of not having sex with you again is painful. I
know I should hate you for what happened between us, both here and
before, but I don't, not anymore. I know you have reason to
despise me, but I don't want you to, not anymore. I know I'll
kill to protect you. I know I was afraid that whenever you
weren't fucking me, while I slept, you were out doing something you'd
regret now, and I was angry I couldn't stay awake all the time so
you'd have to stay with me. I was afraid you'd come to your
senses and forget everything we did together. I was afraid
you'd come to your senses and it would have all been a false
personality that wasn't at all like the real you and you'd mock me or
pity me for what I did and came to believe. I don't want your
pity, Clark. I want your cock, I want your arms around me at
night. I want forever. Is that love, Clark? What the fuck
is that?"
Clark hugged him again and this time he did
press his lips to Lex's temple. "That's enough," he
said softly, though it didn't really answer Lex's question.
Lex
wanted to know what it was enough for but he was exhausted and
emotionally wrung out and he'd only just woken up. What he said
was, "I need coffee."
Clark laughed briefly and
stood up, perforce pulling Lex up as well. "Then let's get
you coffee."
"Clark?"
"Yeah,
Lex?"
"If we get married again, can our next
honeymoon be someplace warmer? I mean, an alien fortress is
really great, and I loved the tour you gave me, but it's freezing and
you kept me naked most of the time." They opened the door
and stepped out into the hall where Batman was still waiting, as
promised.
"I gave you a tour?" Clark sounded baffled
and a little worried. Maybe his memory wasn't as good as he
thought.
Lex pointed down the hall, past the Batman, toward
the main AI console. "I don't think you fucked me there
yet."
Lex savored the look of chagrin on Clark's face and
the stunned one of horror on what could be seen of Bruce's. Lex
snickered. "Shut up, Lex," Clark told him.
"Oh,
and Clark?"
Clark gave him a look of waning patience.
"What?"
"Those glasses are completely
unflattering. Get a new pair or the wedding's off."
