A/N: This is the sequel to "To Follow One's Heart" Thank you to everyone who enjoyed that story.


It had been three weeks since Myka and Helena had shared their feelings for each other. Since then they had been sneaking about trying to spend as much time alone as possible. They hadn't been able to spend much time together of late as there had been an influx of pings, much to the disappointment of them both.

They had decided not to tell the others about the development in their relationship just yet. They were both enjoying having it just being something that was completely theirs for now. The thrill of possibly getting caught also added an element of excitement to it that they didn't want to give up yet.


"I still don't see why I had to flush the Gooery. It wasn't even my turn." Helena said as she walked into the warehouse office, hair damp from having just left the shower.

"I know it was not your turn but seeing as Myka was not here to do it and you were next in line, the job fell to you. So quit whining before I find an even worse job for you to do." Artie turned away from her to hide his smirk.

"I'll find you..." Before she could finish, Claudia entered the room holding her Farnsworth.

"Steve needs my help with something in the ocean aisle. Something about a crustacean and a squid. All I know for sure is that I am craving seafood now."

"Did someone say seafood?" Pete said as he entered through the umbilicus, Myka trailing behind him.

"Seriously, you're still hungry?" Myka groaned as she made her way into the office. She smiled as she saw Helena standing a short distance in front of her. Helena returned the smile instantly and started to walk towards her. Myka didn't hear Pete's reply. It was the first time she had seen Helena in over a week. She hadn't realised just how much she had missed seeing her until that moment.

"Squid. You know what that means Mykes?" Pete put his arm around her and pulled her into a sideways hug, snapping her out of her daze.

"What?" she asked confused.

"Tentacles!" He started laughing and quickly pulled away before Myka could punch him.

"Pete!"

"You walked right into that Myka." Claudia said laughing.

"What are you on about?"

"Steve and the squid." She said.

"What squid?"

"The one... were you even listening?"

They all looked to Myka. "No I was not. Pete started talking about food again."

"Hey!"

"She has a point. You do talk about food a lot."

"I like food." He smiled.

"So how about it Myka, care to help us capture a squid?"

"No! I am staying here. You two can have fun with it."

"And its tentacles" Pete said before quickly dashing towards the door.

"Pete!" Myka glared at him. She then heard a suppressed laugh coming from behind her. Her heart skipped a beat as she recognised the sweet sound. She hadn't realised just how much she had missed that voice. She turned around slowly to see Helena leaning in the doorway to the warehouse kitchen. Myka couldn't contain her smile and was met with an equal one from Helena.

"Tentacles darling?" Helena smirked.

"Don't!" Myka pointed her finger at her but she was still smiling. She started to laugh as she noticed a small purple stain on her neck. She walked towards Helena.

"You have a little something." She stroked the mark as she made her way past Helena and into the kitchen. She put a finger through one of Helena's belt loops, pulled her into the room and gave her a quick peck on the lips.

"Hi."

"That is not a hello kiss." Helena leaned in and captured Myka's lips. Myka smiled into the kiss. The kiss quickly intensified as Helena moved until Myka's back came into contact with a counter. She broke away from the kiss and started to move along Myka's jawline. "I've." She kissed Myka's neck. Myka tilted her head back to allow her better access. "Missed." She kissed just below her ear. "You." She whispered into her ear before taking her earlobe between her teeth and nibbling on it. She felt as a shiver ran through Myka's body. She returned to Myka's lips. Myka's hands began to wonder from their place on Helena's hips. They pulled her shirt from her pants and grabbed the skin beneath it. Myka moaned at the warmth and sorftness.

"Hey Artie, i'm going to make a coffee, would you like one?" Abigail said as she entered the office.

"No thank you but could you see if there is a can of cream soda in the fridge?"

"Sure."

Before Abigail entered the kitchen, Helena exited and made her way past her quickly.

"Myka, hi!" Abigail said as she noticed Myka standing at the counter with her back to her. She was busying herself by making a cup of tea.

"Hi." Myka said as she turned around. Her cheeks were scarlet and her lips looked a little swollen. Abigail thought nothing of it.

"How'd the ping go?"

"Frustrating!" She groaned as she thought about it. "Pete and I had to attend a costume party. I was busy questioning a suspect so I had no choice but to let Pete pick out a costume for me."

"What did he choose?"

"He decided to go with a shared costume." She said as she took a sip of her tea.

"Like a horse?"

"I wish! That would have been less humiliating."

They made their way out of the kitchen and into the office. Helena was seated on the lounge with a book in her hand.

"He dressed as Superman."

"Oh so you went as Lois Lane?"

"See, that makes more sense."

"Not Lois Lane. So who were you then?"

"Wonder Woman." Myka groaned.

"Remind me never to let him choose a costume for me." Abigail laughed.

"Are there pictures?" Helena asked.

"There better not be."

"That's unfortunate. I bet you would have looked dashing. You certainly have the legs for it." Helena said, causing Myka's blush to return.

"You know who Wonder Woman is?"

"Yes, Pete thought that it was essential that I be introduced to the world of comic books. I agreed as long as he included many strong female characters."

"Wow, H.G. Wells reads comics." Myka smiled as she sat next to her on the lounge.

"Yes and I hope you kept that costume." Helena whispered to Myka.

"If you play your cards right, i'm sure you can find out." Myka winked at she handed the tea to her.


Myka was in the Civil War aisle doing inventory when her Farnsworth started blaring, causing her to jump.

"What?!" Myka said frustrated as she opened it.

"Now that is not an appropriate way to greet someone. Are you alright?" Helena asked. She watched as all tension left Myka.

"Yes, you startled me is all. What can I do for you?"

"Oh where to start?" She laughed as she saw Myka's cheeks darken through the black and white screen. "I am in need of your assistance darling."

"Assistance?"

"Yes." Helena smiled at her.

"With what?" Myka look at her skeptically.

"You'll just have to come to aisle 183C and find out."

"183C?!" Myka's jaw hung open.

"Yes."

"I'll see you soon." Myka closed the Farnsworth and made her way to the aisle quickly.


As Myka entered the aisle she was expecting to be greeted by Helena but she was nowhere in sight.

"Helena?" Myka called out to her but there was no response. "Helena where are you?"

She jumped as she felt hands on her waist. "Right here." Helena whispered in her ear. Myka melted into the embrace. "I've missed you, i've missed being able to do this." Helena kissed her on the neck.

"Me too." She moaned. "We can't do this in the warehouse." Myka turned in her arms and raised her hands to play with the ends of Helena's hair.

"Do what?" Helena raised an eyebrow at her.

Myka couldn't resist. She put a hand behind Helena's head and pulled her in for a kiss.


"That was worse than the Gooery. You owe me big time Jinksy." Claudia said as she wiped off a layer of slime from her jeans.

"I didn't cause it to happen. I'm telling you, H.G. was doing inventory here earlier. If anyone did anything it was her."

"Why would she cause an artefact disturbance?" Pete asked.

"I don't know, why don't we ask her?"

"You ask her, i'm not going to accuse her of anything without hardcore proof."

"Yeah, she stuck me to a ceiling once, i'm sure she could do it again, or something much worse."

"Chickens."

"You do it then."

"Fine I will." Steve took out his Farnsworth and set it to Helena's frequency. It rang a few times.

"I don't think she is going to answer." Claudia said.

"I'll try Artie, maybe she is still with him." He called Artie who answered on the second ring.

"What?" he grumbled.

"Well hey Artie. Is H.G. with you?"

"No."

"Do you know where she is?"

"Aisle 183C. Why? What did she do?"

"No, no. Nothing. I just need to ask her something about the squid.

"Did you handle it?"

"Yeah."

"Good." He closed the Farnsworth abruptly.

"Why does he always do that?"

"You should ask him after you're done asking H.G. about the squid."

"I'll pass. So 183C, which way?"

"Still such a newbie." Claudia said laughing as she led the way.


They were getting closer when they heard a loud cry erupt from a dozen or so aisles away.

"What was that?"Steve asked.

"That sounded like a woman screaming."

"H.G!" Yelled Pete.

They took off running towards the scream. Within a minute they were in the aisle. As they entered the aisle they saw Helena standing near a shelf holding a clipboard. Her clothes looked ruffled and her hair was tussled. Her cheeks were scarlet. Myka was nowhere to be seen.

"H.G are you alright?" Pete asked as he tried to regain his breath.

"Yes. I'm fine. What is wrong with you all?"

"We heard you scream." Steve said.

"That wasn't me."

"You sure, cause it came from this aisle." Claudia asked.

"Of course it wasn't me."

"Steve?"

"She's telling the truth."

"Well if it wasn't you then who was it?"

"Are you sure it wasn't you, you scream like a woman."

"I do not." Claudia and Steve were laughing. "So since it wasn't you, who was it?"

"Or what?" Claudia asked.

"I believe it was one of the artefacts. You do know the aisle we are in?"

None of them had taken the time to look at the shelfs around them until now.

"Woah! We're in the sex toy aisle!"

"Pete! Don't touch it. What is it?" Claudia asked as she looked at the contraption on a nearby shelf.

"That darling is Cleopatra's oh how do you say it today?"

"Dildo!" Pete exclaimed.

"Oh My God! PETE! Do not touch anything!"

"Just think of what is in this aisle. I bet John Holmes' Penis Pump is here somewhere."

"And this is why I got given inventory for this aisle."

"You really want another guy's penis pump?"

"Do you need one?" Helena asked.

"I'll have you know that little Pete is..

"Little." Helena finished for him.

"..more than adequate."

"Keep telling yourself that." Claudia tapped him on the back as she walked past him.

"I can prove it." He grabbed his jeans button and started to undo it.

"Woah!" Steve yelled as he covered his eyes.

"No! I do not need to see that. Ever!"

"Agreed."

"I was only kidding." He did his button back up.

"So which one of these artefacts made the noise, cause now that I think about, it really sounded like a woman you know.." He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

"Did it really?" Helena smiled. "How far away were you when you heard it?"

"Maybe a hundred yards away."

"Hmm." Helena's smile turned into a smirk. She was basking in her achievement of making Myka lose all control. She had been quiet each time they had made love previously.

"So you don't know which of these is responsible?" Steve asked as he looked at what he thought were a clamp of some kind.

"If I had to guess i'd say it was one of the Sapphic ones."

"What makes you say that?" Claudia asked intrigued.

"Simple, women know what women like."

"That is true but that doesn't prove that it was a lesbian sex toy." She smiled at her.

"No but when you hear a woman scream another woman's name like that, I believe that qualifies as it being a Sapphic device."

"You heard a name?" Pete dropped the item he was holding and looked at her.

"Yes."

"What was it?"

"My name."

"Your name?"

"Yes."

"Why would it scream your name? Were you playing with the artefacts?" He asked.

"Wouldn't you like to know?"

"We're you?" His eyebrows shot up.

"A lady never tells." She said laughing and left the three of them standing frozen to the spot behind them. They were all speechless.

"Was she lying about any of that?"Claudia asked Steve.

"No. No she was not."


Steve, Pete and Claudia arrived at the warehouse office thirty minutes later. They had spent the walk back trying not to picture what Helena was doing in that aisle.

They entered the office to find Artie typing away at his computer, while Myka sat on the couch as she read over her current mission report to make sure there were no mistakes. Helena was seated closely beside her. She looked up from the report and smiled to the others as Claudia made her way towards the lounge.

"Did you have fun in the aisle after I left?"

"You're evil." Claudia said. Hearing this caused Myka to look up confused.

"No, just wicked."

"I need an artefact to help me forget that."

"What happened?" Myka tried to hide the panic from her tone. She had made herself scarce from the aisle as soon as she heard Pete yell out Helena's name. She was beginning to think that they may have seen them in the heat of the moment after all.

"She was playing with sex toys."

"I beg your pardon. She did what?" Artie turned around and stood from his chair.

"Now before you blow a fuse Artie, let me clear things up."

"Please do."

"There was an artefact disturbance in the aisle so these three came running to check it out. They have assumed that I was using the items for my own personal pleasure. I did no such thing." She smiled at them. No one noticed the blush beginning to form on Myka's face.

"Why would they think that?"

"We heard a woman scream out in pleasure and apparently it screamed HGs name." Pete shared.

"This happened in 183C?"

"Yes."

"Okay." He said and took his seat again.

"Okay? What? She was playing with sex toys Artie!" Pete accused.

"That aisle has a very and I mean very high amount of energy within it. It is common for some of the artefacts to act up from time to time."

"So she didn't use the toys?"

"Dammit H.G! Don't mess with my mind like that. I do not need images of you like that in there." Claudia said relieved.

"Me too!" Pete agreed.

Helena laughed and leaned in to whisper in Myka's ear.

"Could you imagine the images that would be filling their minds if they knew that it was you that was on the receiving end of the toy darling?" She purred.

"I don't care what thoughts they are having but my mind is filled with so many utterly delicious images. I am looking forward to the chance to make them a reality. After all, I do believe it to be fair to repay the favour." She smiled as she watched Helena leap from the lounge.

"Right! I believe it is time to head home." She grabbed Myka's hand and pulled her to her feet. "Come along darling." Myka followed laughing.

"You guys coming or what?" Myka asked before the umbilicus door closed. "I know you will be."


They had barely made it through the front door of the B&B before their hands were on each other. Myka pushed Helena against the wall at the bottom of the stairs. She reached for Helena's belt and quickly undid it. Helena's hands pulled Myka's shirt free from her jeans, she moved her right hand up to cup Myka's breast through her bra. Myka moaned into Helena's mouth at the contact.

"Darling we really need to get up stairs." Helena said between kisses.

"Yes, you're right." She continued to kiss her, struggling to move from the wall.

"Hello, someone there?"

"Shit!" Myka quickly pulled away from Helena and ran up the stairs before Abigail saw her.

"Oh H.G. I thought I heard someone."

"Yes, just arrived home, the others shouldn't be far behind us."

"Us?"

"Yes, Myka is upstairs. She said she was going to shower before dinner."

"What about you? What are you doing now?" She asked, sensing that Helena was hiding something.

"I too am also in need of a shower. I seem to have missed some of the goo earlier." She pointed to her neck.

"Is that a hickey?"

"A what?"

"A love bite. You have a mark on your shoulder." She pointed to the mark.

"One of the joys of being in the sex toy aisle I suppose." She laughed along with Abigail. "Please excuse me but I would like to have a hot shower before Pete depletes us of the water again." She smiled and headed up the stairs.
She stopped on the landing, trying to figure out which room Myka had headed too. They had been spending equal time in each other's rooms. She chose her own bedroom. She opened the door and made her way to her bathroom.

"Darling, are you in here?" The room was empty. She turned around to see Myka locking the bedroom door. Helena's eyes filled with lust as she took in the sight of Myka standing naked before her.

"Your turn Wells." Myka smiled smugly at her before approaching her to continue where they had left off at the warehouse.


"The warehouse has an aisle filled with sex toys?" Abigail asked once Pete, Steve and Claudia arrived home.

"I'm just as shocked as you." Steve said.

"And Artie chose HG to do inventory in that aisle instead of any or you because?"

"Well Pete would touch everything and never complete the inventory, Artie and I have a rule that we do not talk about sex, ever! Jinksy was already occupied and Myka... Why didn't he send her, well the both of them actually?"

"You kidding, Myka and HG alone in that aisle, Myka's head would explode from blushing so much at anything HG would say. She really likes to flirt with Myka."

"Yeah she really does." Steve agreed as he thought about what Helena had confessed to him weeks prior.

"So where are they anyway?"

"In the shower."

"Together?"

"Seriously Pete! Stop putting images I do not want into my head." Claudia shuddered as she tried not to picture it.

"I highly doubt it Pete."

"Hey, you never know, they might get whammied one day."

"And I am leaving before you say anything more." Claudia said before she made her way up the stairs.


After dinner the team converged in the living room for a game night, seeing as they were all home for once.

"Alright, what are we playing tonight?" Pete asked as he entered the room.

"Something that puts us all on even playing fields. No scrabble, Trivial Pursuit, Boggle or Clue." Said Claudia.

"That's not fair." Myka whined.

"We had this argument last time. You and HG have a massive advantage over the rest of us when we play those games. So we ruled them out of game night."

"Fine. So what else is there?"

"Truth or Dare?" Pete asked excited.

"No!" Claudia and Myka agreed.

"Why not?"

"We agreed years ago to not play that with you again." Myka said as she thought about it.

"What about an old reliable?" Abigail said as she grabbed the Monopoly box.


Over two hours later, it was down to Pete, Helena and Abigail. Helena was on the verge of bankruptcy. Myka was sitting next to her on the lounge; she had lost a few rounds prior after she landed on a property belonging to Pete. She whispered into Helena's ear. "Once you're done here, how about we try for round three in my room?" She then rose from the lounge and exited the room.

"Hey! No cheating!" Pete accused.

"How can I possibly come back from this? I'm one roll away from losing."

"Well could you roll? The sooner I win the sooner I can sleep."

"You mean when I win!" Abigail said and smiled at him.

Helena played her turn and lost to Abigail.

"I am calling it a night. Good luck Abigail."

"Thank you. Goodnight HG."


Twenty minutes later and Pete was close to losing to Abigail.

"Face it, i've got this."

"I'm gonna land on Free Parking and then turn this game around." He shook the dice. "Come on, lucky number seven." He dropped the dice suddenly as they both heard Myka scream.

"Myka!" Pete ran for the stairs, Abigail close behind him.

As they got to the top of the stairs they saw Claudia and Steve at Myka's door. Claudia was attempting to unlock it.

They all jumped back as the door swung open. Myka stood before them in black boy shorts and a camisole. Her hair was wild and they could see the bed behind her which was messed despite not being turned down. She quickly pulled the door against her, trying to block their view into the room.

"Mykes are you okay?" Pete asked concerned.

"Uh, yeah. I'm fine!

"We heard you scream."

"I saw a spider." She glanced at Steve quickly, praying that he would not call her out on her lie.

"I've never heard you scream like that over a spider."

"Well this one caught me off guard."

"I bet it did." Steve smirked which caused Myka to blush even more than she already was.

"Did you kill it?" Abigail asked. She was not a fan of spiders.

"Ah, yes!"

"Why was your door locked?" Claudia asked.

"What?"

"Your door? You never lock it."

"I must have forgotten to unlock it after I changed into my sleepwear." She looked at Steve again. He could not contain his smile anymore. He was now certain that Myka and Helena were together.

"We'll let you get back to bed then."

"Uh, yeah. Thanks." He nodded at her before heading back to his room.

"Yeah, i'm gonna follow. Night guys." Claudia said as she entered her room.

"Night Claud."

"Not to seem rude but i'm going to try and get some sleep."

"Oh right! And I have a game to win." Pete said as he remembered the Monopoly match.

"You mean lose."

"We'll see about that."

Myka watched as they made their way down the stairs. She closed her door and locked it. As soon as she did she felt a naked body press into her back.

"If a spider can make you scream like that darling then I best try that again." Myka turned around and pushed Helena to the bed as she removed what little clothing she had thrown on to answer the door.

"Oh you can definitely try that again but not until i'm done with you."

"We'll see." She pulled Myka down and kissed her.


There will be a second chapter, i've written a rough draft for it. Myka accidentally sends a text to Claudia that was meant for Helena.
