"I don't know how I couldn't," he answered truthfully between kisses. After all, Blue was pretty much everything that Lex had fantasized about, on the rarity that he let his mind stray that far. She was young, her body was enough to get drunk on by itself, and she was at least into him enough for a one night stand or so. Perhaps even more alluring was the fact that, honestly, they knew nothing about each other. Blue didn't know all the ways Lex had failed before they'd met, and he didn't know where she came from or who she'd been with before him. It was liberating, like he didn't have to explain himself.<br/><br/>That is, until she brought up Jenessa.<br/><br/>Their kisses slowed and then stopped, and Lex stood up straight and took a deep breath to try and slow himself down. He sighed finally, resting his chin on top of her head while he thought about how he wanted to say what he needed to say. That is, if he could even say it at all. Finally, he decided that it was better to just show her. "There are windows on the top floor right?" he asked, one hand moving from her waist to her arm, where he trailed it down to her hand. His foot slid across the floor to the side, stopping when he felt the rise of a step. He took it, holding onto the banister with his free hand and leading her around for once. He was just eager to get to a high enough window.
