AN - Thanks to chartreuseian for not only giving me the idea, but then betaing it with all of about 30 seconds notice. She rocks. This is set in place of the chapter "Old Friends". Is smutty and makes no sense in the context of the story, yet makes me all sorts of happy. It is NOT part of the actually story line - just fun instead of angst. It's my should have to my could have version of canon. This SHOULD have happened. But it didn't. So read for the smut value, and then get your butt back to Nightswimming. I say that with love. Like I call chartreuseian a ho - with all sorts of love.


A bright flash appeared before her and Helen could barely hold in her tears of joy at seeing Nikola in front of her. John let go of him quickly with a low growl.

"When I said I'd do anything for you Helen, this is not what I had in mind."

"You're a good friend, John."

Without a word, he disappeared from the room.

"Helen, what on earth was that? I told you not to come looking for me."

"Oh, please Nikola. You gave me your country; from there all we had to do was find the finest vineyard province. You say you don't want me to look, but give me all the details to find you. Don't pretend you're not even slightly happy to see me."

Nikola took a purposeful step forward and cupped her cheek in his hand before pressing his lips heatedly against hers. Helen moaned against his lips, pressing her body against him. Her entire being begged her for him. They'd been too long apart, she would chastise him later.

"I missed you," she murmured against his lips.

"Missed you more," he said roughly as he ripped his lips for her, using his vampiric strength to lift her on top of a pile of crates, using his long talons he cut the lace of her dress, letting the top fall down. Helen sat there, her breasts bare to him. The material bunched around her hips.

"What is it with you ruining my best dresses?"

"I think you should wear nothing all the time, and then we wouldn't have this issue."

Helen laughed before claiming his lips again, her deft fingers making short work of his shirt before scraping her nails roughly down his chest, proceeding to remove his belt, letting his pants fall down around his ankles. Her hand wrapped itself around him, stroking him quickly. His eyes turned black and he had to use all his control to stop the morph from completing itself. He placed his lips softly on her neck, using his human teeth to nip at the tender flesh there.

"I love you," Helen moaned.

"I am so sorry for leaving…" he spoke against her skin.

His hands moved down to her waist, gripping the skirt and ripping it off from under her. She giggled at the feel of the crate against her bare skin. Nikola scrapped his fingers up her stomach before tweaking a nipple gently. Helen threw her head back as his other hand made its way to her exposed wetness. He flicked his thumb against her swollen nub before sliding a finger inside her, eliciting another guttural cry from Helen.

"Please, just… now… need…" she moaned out between his ministrations. Helen increased the speed of her hand on him before Nikola had no choice but to reach between them, removing his hands from her, to grab her wrist.

"Little minx…" he said darkly as Helen placed her hands next to her hips, leaning back seductively and giving Nikola a wonderful view of her entirely naked body. He leaned forward and Helen could feel his tip against her entrance. Helen bit her lip, and tried to move herself forward to increase the contact. Nikola grabbed her hips and thrust himself into her.

"Oh! God!" Helen cried and wrapped an arm around Nikola's neck, pulling him flush against her and pressing her lips against his hotly.

Nikola thrust into her gently at first before picking up the pace as he felt her begin to tighten around him. Her hips met his thrust for thrust.

Helen core was burning, her entire body was tingling and she could feel herself teetering on the edge of her orgasm. Desperate for release after so long, she moved a hand between them and touched her swollen bud gently. After a few more moments she felt her eyes flutter shut as Nikola growled roughly. Her entire body was engulfed as her orgasm took her over. Her walls clamped down hard around Nikola, his continued thrusts helping her ride out the feeling before she felt him dig his fingers hard into her hips. He let out a loud growl as he came inside her.

Her breathing was laboured as she lay back gently, Nikola leaning over her, peppering kisses along her jaw before kissing her lips softly.

"Don't leave again…" Helen held her arms tight around him.

"I won't, I promise. Although you may want to think up an excellent explanation as to my being on this ship."

"I'll think of something… I love you, Nikola."

"And I love you, my Helen. My beautiful Helen."


AN - That's right, Nikola. No leavy. But anyhow, on with writing the actual story. Reviews? :D
