It was a moment of staggering realization, and it burned away the last residue of his father's lies, his own doubts. There had always been a part of him, the part that remembered too well how good it felt to hold Desiree, how tender Helen could be, that had persisted in believing no one could really be as sweet as Clark. Now that it was too late, his eyes were wide eye open, and he could see, the real Clark. Not the leather-clad vision of sexiness he'd become so enthralled with down at the club, but the boy from Smallville, whose parents had taught him right from wrong, brought him up to believe in things like loyalty and faithfulness. Things that Clark naturally assumed were a given between the two of them, because he did truly love Lex. Or at least he had.
See, I think Lex was enthralled with a lot more than Clark's leather-clad sexiness. He may not have 100% believed or understood what caused Clark to behave the way he did, but he definitely fell for it.
Regarding the...incident? My first instinct would be to call it an attempted rape, because yeah, pretty much what it was. Ugly. But I didn't disbelieve it. We've occasionally seen Clark really angry in canon, and when he loses it, he really loses it. He also gets mean. In canon, mostly mean in a verbal sense, but I can buy him getting physical. I also think his time on the streets left more scars than either he or Lex have been willing to admit thus far, given that his punishment is to degrade and control Lex sexually, to "treat him like a whore".
I dont' think it's unforgiveable, given that he did stop. I do think that clark is going to have to do a certain amount of soul-searching in the future, though. Basically, they both really fucked up. Really really fucked up. Whaddya wanna bet Hallowe'en is not their favourite holiday in years to come?
