"Helena, I've been wrong about so many things in my life, so many choices I made too late. I was scared, foolish, but no more. From the moment we met I was captivated by you the moment you wiped away a tear from your eye after Benford died, I forgave you. If there's one thing I can do right it would be to make you happy…"

Leon leapt forward with outstretched hands towards Helena.

"I'm not gonna make it!" His mind screamed.

As Helena got closer to the open window Leon's vision narrowed. His fingertips found the soft fabric of her dress as she reached the edge. Leon wrapped his arm around her and tackled her to the ground. Pain bloomed in his shoulder blade as they came down, but he ignored it.

He rolled over, straddling Helena and putting both hands on her shoulders, pinning her.

He looked intensely into her eyes.

Helena gazed into his cold blue eyes in a daze, she couldn't turn away.

Leon shook her with tears falling from his eyes.

"HELENA, I CAN'T LOSE YOU!" He cried, bringing his hand to his head,"I'VE LOST SO MUCH! BEEN HURT BY SO MANY! You have been the best thing to happen to me in my life", and in a stroke of self-preservation or cowardice I pushed you away when you needed me most!"

Helena didn't even wince as Leon's tears fell to her cheeks. To see a man who to her was a rock, an icon, reduced to this re-awoke something inside her. She reached up an stroked his cheek softly.

"Leon…"

He shuddered as she ran her other hand up his back.

"AGH!"

Helena's eyes widened in horror as she felt a huge shard of glass lodged in Leon's shoulder blade.

"LEON!" she slid out from under him as Leon fell forward groaning pain lancing through is right arm as the adrenaline wore off.

"The wound is deep, hold on." he placed her left hand on his back and grabbed the glass with her right. Ignoring the glass slicing into her hand she began counting.

"One, two.."

She yanked and heard Leon cry out in agony.

Helena winced as she saw blood flow from the wound "Leon I'm going to need to stitch this." she said.

"Im fine…" Leon said, trying to get up. He tried to push up with his right arm and yelped in pain falling down.

Helena covered her mouth with her hands "Leon!" She bent down and cradled his head in her arms "Leon i need to get you to a hospital-"

"No." Leon groaned in pain "I don't trust anyone to do this but you. I know that you can do it."

She looked at him with soft eyes for a moment, then nodded."Ok, let me get a sewing kit."

She returned a moment later with a needle and thread. Helena pulled a lighter out of her pocket and held the needle out. A gentle orange flame washed over the tip of the needle.

Helena looked at Leon "Why did you come back?" she asked evenly as she threaded the needle.

Leon looked at her with moist eyes "Your everything to me…" He paused looking for the right words.

"I thought you were in love with Ada?" Helena said in an indifferent tone as she began stitching Leon's shoulder.

"Ow" Leon thought "No, I don't. Ada was everything that has held me back. All the horror we experienced in Langshiang was her fault…I feel nothing but contempt for that women."

"Pfft!" Helena spat, "Don't bullshit me Le-….Oh!" Helena gasped when Leon pulled out Ada's compact now nearly unrecognizable it was crushed.

"Helena, nothing in the world matters to me more than you…" He winced as Helena stitched a particularly sensitive spot before continuing "What I did to you back in my apartment was everything I feared you'd do to me. It was unacceptable, and cowardly."

Leon reached up with his left hand and cupped the side of her face.

Helena unconsciously leaned into his hand with a sigh.

"Helena, I can't live without you…I can't…" He struggled trying to finish.

Helena couldn't take this, to see him like this she stroked his cheek "Leon….!"

Leon pulled her down swiftly causing her to shriek. He kissed her passionately.

Leon felt her resist for a moment, then give up and melt into him. Helena felt a soft touch on her lips and invited his tongue in. They kissed, both of their bodies entangled with each other's.

They broke apart for air, both of them seemed to be in a daze.

Leon recovered first "Helena, I-"

"Shut up." she cooed letting her lips onto his again. Leon's hands found they're way to the small of her back, while she ran her fingers through his thick hair. Leon's hands found the skin of her lower back and he lightly dragged his fingertips along her spine. Helena moaned and arched her back, breaking their kiss.

"Leon." Helena breathed staring at him hungrily. That was all he needed he picked her up, all pain in his shoulder forgotten. She wrapped her legs around his waist and kissed every part of his face.

When they got close to her bed Helena twisted, spinning Leon around to his back as he landed on the bed with her straddling him. "Im on top." she grinned seductively at Leon's surprised face.

She wasted no time unbuttoning Leon's shirt she ran her hands over every inch of him, savoring his hard body, while well aware of another hardness growing between her legs.

Leon quickly lifted the dress over Helena's head then his breath caught his throat.

"God, she's beautiful" He thought. He had never seen Helena wear anything that showed much skin, this was completely new to him.

She was divine; her pale skin played down to her perfect breasts and taut stomach, her hips flared out to a level of curviness he couldn't even describe. He ran his fingertips from the soft white skin of her neck down to her navel, making Helena shudder in delight.

Helena was in heaven, she squirmed under his touch and the Leon's hardness was rising against her opening. She could feel a wetness spread in between her legs, she was taking him now.

She got off of him and frantically removed his pants, she ran her hands along his hardness causing him to groan, she removed his boxers and and took off her panties, before straddling him again.

They both moaned at the contact between them, Leon reached up and deftly unclasped her bra, cupping her supple breasts. She groaned and began unconsciously rocking her hips along his shaft.

Leon groaned and grabbed onto her hips grinding himself against her.

Helena lifted herself up and began to lower herself onto him, but Leon stopped her "Helena." He said with serious eyes. "Are you sure?"

Helena gave him a dark smile then shrugged," Well, if you don't like it.." she started as she lifted herself off of him.

"NO! NO!" Leon said frantically.

"Thats what i thought." she moaned as she lowered herself onto him.

They both gasped as he pushed deeper into her.

Helena whimpered as her walls stretched to accompany him.

After a moment she began to move, grinding her hips into him.

They continued for a couple of minutes, Helena was glad they were the only two people on the floor of the apartment with all the noise coming out of them.

"Faster Leon! Faster!" She gasped as the both reached their peak.

They both fell back on the bed, a thin sheen of sweat covering both of them.

Leon looked over to Helena "Helena-"

She raised a finger to his lips silencing him, "Leon I know theres a lot we need to discuss, but for now just stay be with me."

Leon smiled and gave her a kiss, then wrapped her up in his arms.

They were both asleep seconds later.

Helena woke up with a smile on her face,"Was all of this a nightmare/dream come true?" The soft snoring to her left confirmed it was all real. She leaned over and kissed his forehead then got out of bed.

"Whoops.." she muttered when she realized she was naked,"Meh fuck it." she said merrily. walking to her kitchen she put on her apron and began making breakfast. Helena couldn't help but sway her hips and twirl to an invisible tune as she cooked. Despite all she had been through the past days, the nightmares, and the hallucination that lead to her near-suicide, she couldn't shake the happiness bubbling up inside her. Leon was being the man that she needed him to be, she was in love, hopelessly in love.

Helena was cracking eggs into a pan when she herd a loud THUMP! Then a groan.

"Rise and shine sleepy-whoa…"

Leon had just stood up not hearing her apparently, and not realizing he too was naked…aaand sporting a really bad case of morning wood. Helena just gaped and stared at him as he stretched still unaware of her presence, she didn't get a good chance to look at him the night before, and what she saw took her breath away.

Leon yawned then looked at her and froze, eyes going wide. He looked down then quickly back to her.

"FUCK!" He yelped diving for the covers.

Helena burst out laughing then turned the stove off and hurried to the bed wearing only her apron. She pulled the covers off and deeply kissed a shocked Leon.

He returned the kiss eagerly and she melt into him taking her apron off.

They broke their kiss and Helena looked down before looking Leon in the eyes "Is that for me, Leon?" she asked in a husky voice.

"Uhm…Helena..Your…" He stammered.

"Shhhhhhh…" she shushed him then nibbled on his earlobe.

He shuddered then lightly bit her neck making her gasp.

She drew back and stared at him with an arched eyebrow.

"What did I do?" Leon asked in a confused and panicked voice.

"You're lucky your so cute, Leon Kennedy." she said seductively as she lowered herself onto him.

After making love for an hour both Leon and Helena were laying in bed both with smiles on their faces.

Leon was gazing into Helena eyes when she reached over and pinched his ass.

"Ow!"

"Just making sure your real love."

He leaned over and kissed her passionately, "I love you ." Helena said dreamily. Leon paused in shock then kissed her again, doubtful she noticed his pause. He grinned brilliantly and kissed her again.

Helena smiled when she heard a clacking noise, she sat bolt upright and beamed "Scruuump!" She called.

Two second later the massive dog jump on the bed panting and shaking her tail furiously. Both Helena and Leon rubbed the dog all over, "Scrump my hero!" Helena laughed.

Leon looked at this beautiful smiling women petting her dog and thought deeply, "Do I love this women? Without a doubt she makes me happy, happier than I've ever felt before. She said she loves me, I…I love her too. But i can't say it yet…It's too soon, and I don't want to ruin anything. Im going to protect her, cherish her I swear, Helena Harper, I won't fail you."

Leon smiled and rubbed behind Scrump's ears.

"RRRRRRRRP"

they both stopped and Scrump and Helena looked at Leon, Scrump cocked her head to the said and Helena just smirked.

"Hungry?
