The brunette hummed happily and rested her back on the elevator wall pressing the button to go to the Penthouse. She was returning after a nice day at work. Barbara had said she would be at the Penthouse. She would be cleaning their home, she said she had been so busy working that she needed take a few minutes to clean and fix some items. It was rare for Barbara to keep herself busy with housework and Helena had found that Barbara looked cute doing it. She looked like a normal woman and not the extraordinary, brilliant and brave woman she was.
She smiled, she just wanted to take a warm shower and enjoy a nice evening with Barbara watching TV… she grinned, or doing another things.
The elevator door opened and Helena stepped inside the penthouse. She froze when her eyes found Barbara and Dick in a warm embrace, Barbara with a big smile on her face. What the fuck was he doing here? She felt the anger filling every fiber of her body, her jaw clenched and she and balled her fists.
"Helena, hey." Barbara greeted.
"What are you doing here?" the brunette asked coldly.
"He just came here to talk." Barbara turned to see her.
"To talk?" Helena narrowed her eyes and looked at him.
"I just came back to town, I came here to say hi." Dick said smiling at her.
Helena frowned, she was not stupid. He wanted to get inside Barbara's pants. She had seen Barbara crying so many nights for him, he used to appear and disappear without thinking of Barbara's feelings. He had made Barbara cry and she never would forgive him for that. He was never there when Barbara had needed his support in her most difficult years.
He had left and Helena had been there, always for her. It was when she fell in love with her. It was when she realized that Barbara was her everything, that without her there was no life.
Dick had returned when she had first started dating Barbara, after long months trying to convince her to take the next step in their relationship. Dick had tried everything then to make them break up and Barbara hadn't given up on her. She loved her more for that.
"It's a really nice surprise…" Barbara said smiling, resting her hand on Helena's arm and breaking her out of her thoughts.
"Sure…" Helena growled while eyeing Dick.
"He… wants to see if we can be friends."
"Friends?" That surely meant being with Barbara 'working' at Delphi, not snuggling on the couch.
She looked at the redhead "Can we talk?… Now?"
"Sure, Dick?" Barbara nodded to her visitor.
"Oh, sure, I'll wait for you upstairs." He said walking toward the elevator.
The brunette followed him with her eyes. As soon as the doors closed she turned to the redhead. "What the hell is he doing here?" she asked with her voice cold and hard.
"He wants to be friends, I told you."
"Come on!" Helena waved her hands at Dick's pathetic excuse.
"Well, he called me by phone and asked to talk. He said he was sorry for all the bad decisions he had made in the past."
"Like abandoning you."
Barbara took a deep breath.
"He hurt you!" The brunette paced furiously. "How could you open the doors of our home to him after all the things he did to you?"
"You can't live with bitterness forever Helena."
"Believe me, it's possible."
"You need to live and forgive."
"You know I don't like him," the brunette growled angry. "Why did you let him in?"
"Dick asked me to forgive him." Barbara followed her with her gaze. She knew Helena had serious issues with Dick but she still had hoped they could be friends. "Dick just came to talk, to say he was wrong."
"I see, he wants to fix all the pain you felt, all your tears, with an "I'm sorry", very easy. Brave man!"
"Everybody makes mistakes Helena. He is honest and he wants us to be friends again."
"I don't buy that "friendship" thing. He is after your ass-"
"Helena!" Barbara glared at her.
"Well, he is." The brunette shrugged her shoulders.
"Could you please calm down, sit and talk properly?"
"Barbara! He abandoned you in your worst moments! When he returned a couple of years ago he got angry and called me a whore!"
"He already apologized for that. He really wants to be friends."
"After I broke his nose…" Helena stopped her pacing and turned to see the redhead. "You don't buy that, right?"Helena raised her eyebrows. "You do?"
The dark haired woman rolled her eyes, "Barbara!"
The redhead pinched the bridge of her nose. "You must trust me."
"I trust you, I don't trust him!" Helena said. Dick really pissed her off. "I hurt his manly pride because you didn't want to leave me to get back with him!"
"Helena, Dick is really sorry for all his behavior." Barbara waved her hand "All of us make mistakes, you, me. We are human, we must learn and forgive."
"Barbara please!" Helena sometimes wondered how Barbara could be a hard crime fighter, yet so clueless about love. "He is still in love with you!"
"No Helena, that is the past. Dick is not perfect," the redhead said softly "but he is a good friend."
"Yeah, he was a very good "friend"." Helena emphasized the last word and took a deep breath turning her back to the red head. Dick and Barbara had been lovers. Barbara was in love with her, yeah, she knew that, but just the fact that he had touched Barbara turned her crazy with jealousy.
Barbara understood the meaning of her words. The woman wheeled toward her and took her hand looking for her eyes. "He is the past Hel, you know that." She said.
Helena stared at her in silence for seconds. "I know."
"Can you try… for me?"
"Don't ask me that."
"Silly." Barbara pulled her arm to make her bend and steal a kiss from her lips. "I love only you."
"I love you too Red."
"He has been my friend, he will be continue to be my friend."
"I know, I'm not telling you who you can see or choose as friend, but… you and him… I just don't want to see him around you, in our home, Barbara, please understand…"
The redhead smiled at her "Let me talk with him."
Helena sighed and lowered her gaze.
"I promise I'll talk with him" Barbara traced her nose with her index "and say to him that if he wants to talk I'll be there for him. If he needs help, I'll be there, but that he must understand I have a home, a life now with you and that I want him to respect our privacy and our home, because you are my main priority. You are my life and my everything."
The brunette grinned.
"Is that okay with you?" the redhead asked smiling.
"Okay." Helena nodded.
"Well, I'll talk with him now."
The brunette made a face. Barbara raised her eyebrow.
"All right, all right." Helena stepped back, "I'll go walk around to give you time to talk with him."
Barbara held her by her hand. "Promise me you will not be flirting with girls."
Helena smiled and leaned in to kiss her on her lips in a slow and soft caress. Helena moved back and fixed her eyes on her. "You are my only girl."
"Liar." Barbara chuckled.
The brunette moved forward and kissed her neck. "Do you want me to show you how much I love you now?"
"Not now. You know I can't." the redhead closed her eyes enjoying the delicate touch of Helena's lips on her skin.
"Just ask," Helena movements were slow and delicate, she sat on the older woman's lap "and I'll kick Twinkie Wonder out of here."
"That's not nice Hel."
"Who says I want to be nice?" the brunette's hands caressed Barbara's arms. Her touch was sensual and created shivers over Barbara's skin. "I have kinky plans for you. Don't you remember?"
Barbara smiled "I was thinking of doing naughty things to you."
Helena's eyes snapped open and looked at the redhead. "Really? Like…?"
"I just can't tell you, very naughty…"
Barbara's soft and promising voice ignited all Helena's senses. "Can we start now?"
"Later." The redhead touched the brunette's cheek.
"Don't go, stay…" the brunette purred.
"You know I must fix this now."
Helena exhaled loudly and rested her head on Barbara's chin. "Crap, I need a cold shower now…"
Helena arrived very late, maybe later than she thought. She had gone to a newly opened bar and had found some old school friends there. She had a really good time, and knowing that Barbara's talks usually took a very long time, she hadn't cared about the hour. She went toward their bedroom and opened the door slowly, it was completely dark but she could clearly see Barbara sleeping on the bed, oops, her party night had definitely been long.
Dick's presence in her home had raised all her nerves and she just wanted to relax. She knew Dick and Barbara had been friends, before being lovers. Helena loved her and knew all about her past. She couldn't ask Barbara not to talk to him forever, but if she could keep him far from her home it would be great.
She removed her boots before walking into the bedroom and then the bathroom to shower. She smelt like cigarettes and she knew Barbara hated it, but it was impossible not to catch the smell in a bar full of people smoking. She took her time enjoying a long warm bath. Contrary to the tradition, she was a cat that liked water and really enjoyed the shower, especially the warm water. It helped her to relax her muscles and the tension in her body. She enjoyed the feeling of the soap over her body and rubbed every inch of her skin with a soft sponge humming happily.
After a pleasant 45 minutes she finished her shower and took a towel. The advantage of having short hair is that you didn't need to spend hours drying it, just a fast movement of the towel over your head and bingo! After drying herself, she found some comfortable clothes, a white cotton tank top and her underwear. She stood in the doorway and observed the redhead. She was sleeping peacefully, she really was tired.
Slowly she went to Barbara's side and moved under the covers. She rested her head on the pillow and observed Barbara's delicate features. Damn, Barbara was hot in her sleep. She was so lucky, she never thought Barbara could love her as much as she did, she was so passionate as lover. Every time they made love Barbara showed an unexpected side of her personality, she was no longer a controlled person. It had taken time but she finally had learned to open her heart and just let her emotions and desires flow freely.
She moved closer to the redhead and rested her head on the same pillow still observing Barbara, the way her chest moved with every breath, the peacefulness on her face. She could spend hours just looking at her. She never tired of looking at her or listening to her voice. Lifting her hand she caressed her long and soft red hair. Her fingers traced her eyebrows and slowly moved down, tracing her nose, and her lips. She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, she was immediately surrounded by Barbara's scent. It was impossible to not feel a warm heat between her legs, her heart pounding hard against her chest, an incredible need to touch, taste, feel Barbara's skin under her fingers, her mouth.
She needed a shower again… cold.
Barbara needed her rest.
She moved forward and kissed her softly on her lips before resting her head on the pillow again. She closed her eyes and pressed her legs together to avoid feeling the itch there.
Damn, it was so damn difficult keeping her hands to herself when she had Barbara so close. Helena took a deep breath inhaling Barbara's scent again, all that mattered was here, her reason to be alive, the reason to keep going was laying next to her. Barbara was her mate, her everything, with her she felt at home. Slowly, the brunette fell asleep letting her dreams wrap her mind.
In Helena's dreams she was always loving Barbara. Loving her was an insatiable need of her soul, feeling her trembling under her fingers, calling her name. The redhead was a drug for her, her love for her increased each day, each hour, each minute.
She was in heaven. She couldn't have enough of Barbara's kisses, taste, skin, love. Her dreams about Barbara were so vivid that she could feel the older woman's body curled at her side, she could feel Barbara's sweet breath against her neck, those dexterous fingers touching her, moving slowly tracing every muscle under her skin, every curve, every hidden corner. Barbara's fingers caressing her nude body was an erotic experience that she loved. Barbara was her soul mate, she belonged to her.
She felt Barbara's hands moving below her tank top cupping one of her breasts and kneading it gently. Her breathing increased when she felt fingers playing, pinching her nipple. She felt her most sensitive spot between her legs turning moist.
It was so easy be turned on with Barbara.
She rubbed her legs together. The hand touching her breast moved down to the juncture of her legs as she felt Barbara's warm mouth cupping her breast through the thin cotton of her tank top.
She arched her back and it was when she opened her eyes she realized that she was not sleeping. In fact, she was in their room. What was happening? She tried to move but the redhead kept her still, rubbing one of her long fingers over her slit.
Helena gasped.
"Barbara?" she mumbled sleepy looking for her lover's eyes.
"Shh…" the redhead whispered moving her head up and brushing her lips against her mouth. "You are all mine now."
She kissed her and Helena responded. This was the best way to be awakened. She wrapped her arms around the redhead's neck pulling her against her purring and opened her legs, her hips following the movement of Barbara's hand.
When those delicate long fingers found her most sensitive spot she moaned. Barbara knew how to touch her, make her senses ignite with every caress. Being with her was more than just sex, being with her was to experience the real meaning of love physically and spiritually.
Suddenly, Barbara stopped her hand's movement and buried her head in the brunette's neck.
"Barbara…" Helena whispered, eyes closed. "I'm close… don't stop."
"Why didn't you wake me last night?" the redhead asked licking her neck.
"You… needed rest… Barbara please…"
"And you arrived late, very late…" Barbara whispered to her ear teasing her "and I was waiting for you…"
Helena turned her head and kissed her, enjoying the sweet taste that was Barbara.
"I'm sorry…" Helena whispered between kisses "I thought you needed time and when I got back you were asleep and…"
"I have plans for you…" the redhead whispered taking her lower lip between her teeth.
"Just let me…" Helena took Barbara's hand between hers and guided it to her aching need but the redhead arrested her movement and moved their joined hands to the juncture of her own legs.
Helena's eyes snapped open. She felt her heart pounding hard against her chest, her breathing turning fast. Her fingers were resting over something large and hard between Barbara's legs. Her hand was touching…?
"Barbara?" she growled looking at the redhead's eyes.
"You said you wanted something kinky… I thought you would like it." Barbara said playfully.
"Do you really need to go to work?" Helena asked staring at the ceiling.
"Yes, I have an exam today." Barbara said, her head resting on Helena's chest while her fingers traced soft circles on the brunette's abdomen.
They were lying on their bed, the sun was rising and it seemed it would be another everyday Tuesday. A light blanket covered Barbara's hips. The redhead marveled at the way Helena made love to her in a way that made it so easy for her to enjoy and feel, helping her in a very subtle way to move, making her feel for an instant she didn't have limits in her movements.
"Poor kids, I'm sure they would be very grateful if I kept you here all day." Helena giggled, hugging Barbara against her and kissing her head, she loved the sensation of her bare skin against hers, she was so soft. "What do you think?"
"Clever, but I must work."
"Seems my brilliant plan will not work." Helena exhaled loudly.
"Seems you are right." Barbara chuckled and kissed the brunette's chin crossing her arms over Helena's chest looking her. "And when I get back I want to do more research on your "silver guy"."
"Still no clue eh?"
"No, he really is like a magician, he appears and disappears as fast as he arrives."
"I think I should do an extra sweep tonight."
"Right. It intrigues me as to what he is doing, I have never seen anything like that."
"You mean the explosions with no explosives?"
"Part of it, and the way he appears and disappears."
"Like Star Trek transportation eh?"
Barbara froze, like she often did when she was thinking hard. Helena smiled.
"Your gears are working?"
"I think you hit the point."
"I did?"
"Maybe he is using teleportation." Barbara said.
"A metahuman that can teleport?" Helena asked.
"Or he can move his molecules to any place he wants."
"Oh… seems a hard boy to handle."
"It's just a theory of course, I need to check on it when I get back from school."
"Barbara?" Helena played with the redhead's hair, it looked amazing under the morning sun rays
"Yes?"
"How was the talk with Dick last night?"
"The talk was fine, we really talked a looong time," Barbara said. "He understands that you and I have a life together. That I'm very happy, that you are the most wonderful and important part of my life and that he and I can be friends. That I always will be there for him, but he must respect our space, our privacy and our feelings."
"He is not in love with you, he just had his pride hurt."
"I don't care If he is in love with me or not. I'm only interested in you Miss Kyle."
"And I in you Miss Gordon." Helena grinned.
"I told him that it is not comfortable for you to be close to an ex-boyfriend of your girlfriend. I asked him how he would feel if he were in your place. I told him that I love you and I respect your feelings and decisions and I never will do anything that could bother you."
"Why he doesn't leave us alone? It's been a long time since he left years ago."
"I think he just wants find someone to listen to him. I always listened, I was always there for him. It's not easy to find someone who will listen to you."
"Especially him, he's a moron."
"Hel…" Barbara sighed.
"He is…" the brunette smirked.
"You are very jealous."
"I am. Who wouldn't be with a gorgeous woman like you?"
"Well I told him we can be friends, but not a friend with 'benefits'."
Helena raised an eyebrow.
"I wanted to be very clear with him." Barbara said.
"You really were." The dark haired woman traced her cheek with her finger "You are so beautiful."
"Do you think I am?"
"Incredibly beautiful, I'm so lucky…"
"No, I'm the one who is lucky. I'd do anything for you." Barbara moved forward and kissed Helena's neck.
Damn, the friction of Barbara's nipples against her skin was hot. The brunette felt something hard against her leg. She smirked.
"Do you still have 'that'?"
"I was thinking we should play with it again before I go to work."
Helena felt aroused instantly. When Barbara was in a kinky mood she really was kinky. "But it's my turn…"
"No way."
"Sorry, now I give the orders here."
"I don't think so…" Barbara chuckled scratching Helena's scalp.
Crap.
The scalp no.
"Barbara…" she protested. Every time Barbara wanted to keep her down or break all her defenses she just needed to scratch the back of her head and she turned into a stupid puppy in love. Barbara knew it and enjoyed it.
It was too low.
"So," Barbara said as she kissed her, she slowly moved to roll on her back, Helena followed her movement and she eased backwards until Helena was lying on top of her. "Come here."
She ended the kiss only to turn her head kissing her again. Her fingers caressed Helena's face and combed through her hair as she ended one kiss only to kiss her again and again. She kept the kisses light letting their lips barely touch before pulling away. She moved her lips up to Helena's cheeks giving each a kiss before going back to her lips, letting this kiss linger and letting her tongue slip out touching Helena's tongue. She heard Helena let out a whimper and she knew that she was getting Helena aroused.
Helena kissed Barbara's chin then kissed her way down to her lover's neck, kissing her there before moving downward. She brought her hands down cupping Barbara's breasts and giving them a squeeze which made the redhead's hardening nipples rise. She kissed the left nipple then went to the right one giving it a longer kiss before sucking it into her mouth. She heard Barbara whimper and that made her happy. She bit the hard nipple tenderly pulling her mouth up until the nipple pulled from her mouth making Barbara groan.
Helena began to kiss her way down Barbara's belly making her shiver as she tongued her belly button. Helena kissed on downward and she stopped on Barbara's hips where she found a long and hard latex object. She looked up to find Barbara smiling at her.
"All yours sweetheart."
