Today's tiresome job had left Helen drowsy from the heat. She had spent an entire afternoon cleaning up the evidence left behind by a pair of unruly abnormals.
Will picked her up from the main road outside of the abandoned warehouse she had been confined to since lunch time. She saw herself in the metalic car door and sighed at her dishevelled appearance. Will had seen her like this before, if not worse so; but today it bothered her.
Yesterday Will had confessed an attraction to Helen. Despite Helen's professionalism, she had spent the night fantasising about kissing the boy, only to fight off the daydreams with a swift reality check.
After a fumble with the seatbelt buckle, Helen and Will sat in complete silence for their journey back to the Sanctuary. Will had turned on the radio after a few minutes, and as he did he took a glance at Helen's stern face. Her stern beautiful face. She was angry with him. No, not angry, more disappointed. That was worse. He tried to concentrate on getting them back safely to the Sanctuary.
As Will pulled into the garage and turned off the ignition, Helen stopped him jumping out of the car by placing a film hand on top of his own on the steering wheel.
"Will," she said softly. "We need to talk." Will simply turned to look at her. Their eyes locked and Helen swallowed her desires. "What you said last night was sweet but-"
"Don't patronise me Magnus." He snatched his hand from under hers and reached for his belt buckle.
She loved it when he called her that. "Will please, hear me out," she tried again.
He slammed his head back into the headrest with a sigh. Helen unfastened her restraints and twisted in her seat to look at him.
"What you said was sweet... more than sweet, but you have to understand that I have to remain professional. The Sanctuary depends on me."
"I just thought you deserved to hear it." Will was more than aware of her vital position in the Sanctuary network, but for as long as he had known her, not once had she let her hair down, gone on a date, or even had a little fun.
"Thank you for that," she smiled and took his hand again.
"You don't need to thank me. Any good guy would do the same. I just wanted you to know how I felt. I wanted to offer you some fun." He thought to himself: 'Is she blushing?'
She was. "Will, like I say, the Sanctuary-"
"I know, I know. It depends on you, I get it. But what good are you Magnus, if you never have a little fun, some you time? I mean, when did you last have a break?"
"Not in a very long while" Helen admitted.
"Exactly." He reached for Helen's hand again and held it tightly. "So what would be the harm in a little fun?"
Helen couldn't produce a counter argument, she was too absorbed in the feel of his confident grasp. Her silence gave Will the ammunition to lean forward and steal a kiss from her cheek. Helen was shocked, but not enough to move away, so their faces remained centimetres apart for quite sometime before Helen made a decision.
"There is none." She spoke so quickly, leaning forward as she did. She took her hand from Will's so that she could entwine her fingers through his hair, pulling him into a tight lip-locked embrace. Nothing she had imagined last night felt as good as this.
"Magnus" Will stifled in a whisper without breaking their passionate kisses.
This turned Helen on and she felt herself move out of her seat and practically lean on Will completely. Her body was acting of its own accord, like it had been waiting for this to happen in a long while and knew exactly what to do. It wasn't like fighting, though it was the same instinct - her body acted, then her brain caught up.
Will grasped her thigh and pulled her on to him. Though the space around them was tight, it was all they needed. They were so close to each other in this moment both physically and emotionally. After Will's break up with Abbey, and John disappearing leaving Helen behind, it was exactly what they needed.
Their kisses and groping grew more passionate and the sounds of their heavy breathing filled the air. Will could feel himself growing excited and Helen knew her panties were soaking.
Will slid his hands up Helen's back, causing them to disappear under the fabric of her t shirt and jacket. Helen broke their kiss to lean back into his warm grasp causing her breasts to rise to Will's face. Will responded by nuzzling the material on her chest.
'BEEP' Helen had leant on the car horn.
"Bugger." Helen said before planting a firm kiss on Will's lips and opening the car door. She jumped out the vehicle clumsily, closely followed by Will. Big Guy or Henry were bound to of heard that.
The pair made their way into the Sanctuary, straightening their clothes up as they went.
