I can't help but feel that this falls apart at the end so you'll have to forgive me, this was my first attempt with them and I can't seem to remember where I wanted this to go.


When she took his hand he hand he pulled her forward in the chair which easily rolled across the hard wood floor she made a yep. He slid down off the desk to his feet, leaning down planting a kiss on her lips hard. Helen returned the kiss, then grabbed his leather jacket, at the collar pushing him off of her, which wasn't much of an issue for her, she'd been extra fit these days. Besides he would bend when she prompted him too always the good pet. She gave him a shove toward the desk and took it upon herself to level a knee between his legs.

"Not the family jewels, least not like this!" He used a little force to pushed her leg down. She moved in close to graze her lips against his once before slipping her tongue into his mouth, greedily. She let go of his jacket then slid her arms around his neck. Even though he was taken off guard Nikola was able to get an arm around her waist and grasp her backside pulling her closer, his other hand instantly to her neck sliding up it then to take a handful of her hair, making her moan into his mouth.

Helen reached down to where her knee had been moments before undoing his zipper and feeling him on the outside of his boxers, before giving him a rough squeeze "Don't assume you have an iota of a knowledge as to what it is that I want." Nikola groaned, grabbing her hips tighter, the pain adding to his pleasure, he then moved his head to the side of her face to whisper in her ear.

"My memory doesn't waver, genius remember?" She had to laugh. He knew she had a weak spot, it was the bottom of her left ear, he flicked his tongue over the spot at first, then gently bit the area and sucked on her flesh. Her body went weak against him. He worked down her neck in a trail of licks and nibbles. Not only could he feel her knees weaken but he could also feel her pulse quicken. He could still sense the blood flowing in her veins, she was thankful at this moment that he was no longer a vampire.

His hands found their way up her sides then reaching for a breast, he found her perked nipple giving it a squeeze. Helen gave a loud throaty moan, she'd not heard pass from her own mouth in a while. They had been alone in the Sanctuary, at least on these levels. She wanted more. "Nikola, I take it b-back." She was giving her best effort, during his actions to release him from his clothing. She did so before she pulled open his buttoned shirt, she'd popped a button or two in the process. She ran her hands over his shoulders, then raked her nails over his chest. She hadn't realized just how sexually attracted to him she was, she had cut off the memories of their past, but her body still quivered at his touch. God how long had it been? She ran her hand back down his stomach and into his tented boxers to pull at his shaft, his moans demanding more of her.

"Helen." He warned, she knew her teasing was getting dangerous and that was the point. "Strip." It took a few moments to ditch their clothing, between the heat of kissing and busy roaming hands, it was hard to strip efficiently. Fumbling with an item or two, they shed their clothing littering the room with them. Nikola's eyes were burning for her, he had her by the waist again and switched positions, he cleared a spot behind her on the desk then sat her there. "Cold" she laughed and the warm touch of his hands on her bare skin made up for the goosebumps. "Mm, the point." He laid her back on the desk.

Nikola kissed down her neck, he stopped to bite along her collar bone, his hands ran up her legs and over her thighs, doing everything he could to avoid her sweet spot. He brought his tongue down her body, a wet line until he found one of her breasts taking the tip of his tongue to tease over her nipple, he rubbed the other at the same time, then sucked. His hands didn't stop searching out the curves of her body. Meanwhile between moans and breaths, she had been dragging lines with her nails over his chest, shoulders, neck and down his back, leaving red marks as she did. "Stop taking your bloody time" she demanded.

"Patients, mace." He smirked wickedly and went back to concentrating on her figure, trying to remember which spots she liked to be caressed and licked at the most, he'd found a few sensitive areas and worked his assault around them. She was leaning back on her hands while he did watching him take control of her body. She sat up more so she could once more reach for the length of him, needing to feel how hard she'd made him. "I need you." It was his turn to groan.

She looked up at him with dark eyes, she wasn't above a little bit of begging, or she'd just matters into her own hands. She lay back on the desk biting her lip. At first he used his hand taking the tips of his fingers gliding them gently over her crease once before slipping them into her wetness to slicken her clit. Her efforts also increased, she sat up to kiss him roughly. "Shag me already!" Helen couldn't take it anymore, his teasing had worked her up nicely, and she wouldn't come without him. "As you wish."

The table was low enough that he could pull her forward and maneuver himself between her legs, she wrapped a leg around him, just enough room to fuck her proper. One more tease of her opening, this time with the tip of his cock before sliding himself through her soaked walls, she'd grabbed his hips making sure his body was jammed against hers and she let out a cry of his name. Nikola took long deep thrusts into her before quicken the pace. The sent of sex was thick upon the air, they both began to sweat. He knew by the way her body arched toward him that she was close, he had to hold her in place. He wondered what would happen if he used a little electricity, she had like that at one point. She knew something was up by the devious look on his face. "Oh Lord!" Helen couldn't do anything about it, her entire body was tingling and she was going to come fast. She dug her nails into his skin and rode the wave of his energy first, which alone was fantastic, but then she reached another climax, screaming his name. Helen pulled him in for another kiss, she never wanted him to move from this position.

Once they found their legs and composed themselves they started gathering their things. She'd found his shirt and slipped it on, only two buttons had been left but that was enough. He managed to find his under shirt, boxers and pants making him decent as possible.

Helen searched out the from for her clothing. "How did these get over here?" She laughed spotting her nickers strung over the lampshade, just as she got them on, the door burst open. There stood Biggie. She tired to hid the fact that she was half dressed by stepping behind the chair but it was a bit obvious. He grunted at Tesla, then froze in place covering his eyes, (Biggie half peaked down at her legs before he turned around)

"Sorry, uh there was a spill in the lab and I left the good mop in your closet." He grunted.

"It's quite alright now." She'd managed to get herself dressed, in her own attire. Biggie turned around walking directly over to Tesla to grunt in his face. Tesla didn't flinch merely pulled on his shirt. "You know they invented this thing called mouth wash, Mr. Worf, I've not done anything wrong, so you can go back to your house work."

Biggie leaned down and growled in Nikola's face. Helen came over and got between them. Now, Tesla too was growling. "That will certainly be enough of that! Or I am locking you both in the shoe! And no, you have nothing to worry about in here. Was it a toxic spill?"

"Non toxic spill." He backed up and grunted.

"Good, I'm sure it's nothing you can't handle then."

"Yes, run along Cinderella!"

More growling, Biggie was just not in the mood for this.

"Nikola, don't provoke him, you know how he is about protecting me."

"This door locks." Biggie huffed and walked away.

Nikola rolled his eyes. "He makes as much sense as synthetic shag carpeting."

"NIKOLA, bloody hell, there's far too much raging testosterone around here it's driving you all mad, we've far more civilized creatures under top level security." She rubbed her temples.

"I can't help if Alf is a creep, and don't get me started on the rest of the peanut gallery..."

"I shouldn't have to reprimand you, this stops now. That's going into our deal, you have got to be nicer to everyone, to their face!"

He walked over to her. "Helen, my love. You know I'm quick to heat under the collar when crossed. I agreed to your deal, however it's going to take time to adhere to it."

"It's alright. " Helen grew quite and her body language had turned tense, her arms folded over herself, once more avoiding looking at him.

"Helen? So we get caught after the deed and you retreat into yourself again? Come on don't do this. Sex is sex, we don't have to be crazed about it afterward."

"What's that supposed to mean? So one good shag to hold over my head? Brilliant! That's just like you isn't it? Nikola." She accused him, pointing a finger.

He put his hands up, "Where in the world has this come from? You know very well how I feel for you, what do I need to do to prove it?" He paused. "Regret it so soon?" He sighed and shook his head. "I thought maybe this time..."

"What?" She blinked at him sinking back into her chair.

"That you were ready to try again." He had his hands on his hips looking out the window.

She bit her lip. "I don't want to foul up what we have now, it's far different than what we've had in the past."

"This is what happened the first time we got together, you were frightened when someone actually cared about you, deeply and wanted to take care of you. It was the same thing with you and James. Neither of us treated you like crap, so you ran off before we could. You were severely abused Helen, and that mongrel still has the nerve to show his face, it's messing with your head. Do you know what that does to someone?" Mocks John's tone. "Oh no one can love you like I can, Helen." What a crock! I've never claimed to be innocent, but I've always respected you Helen, as my equal, and sometimes superior," He confessed. "I know I'd never be the love of your life, and that was always fine with me, but James couldn't handle that you still loved John. That's why you divorced as soon as you were able. But that was a very long time ago Helen, what's your excuse now?"

"STOP! just stop it!" Helen had retreated to the window, not facing him anymore, silent tears spilled from here eyes. Not many people could back her into a wall, make her face the emotions she kept so closely guarded but he always managed to cut through her.

Nikola came behind her "Love isn't supposed to hurt." He whispered wrapping his arms around her waist.

"I'm so tired, Niko, of just everything." It had been an extremely long time since she'd called him that, he'd almost forgot she had.

"You might have your hired help fooled but I've known you far to long, my dear. I can see the cracks, as well as you can see through me. We've done this song and dance number many times before, Helen. Isn't it time to learn a new tune?" She turned in his arms to look into his eyes then brushed her lips to his.

"I don't know how to have a relationship, and if there's nothing is wrong with it then I make my own trouble to get myself out in one piece. That's why when we started to get closer I wanted it to be just for fun and that had worked for a time but, there were feelings, and I knew you were in love with me."

"That was the past and I'm not asking you to say vows Helen. I'm just asking if we can reclaim what we once had be some comfort to each other. And if you want to keep up our charade around the children I'll have no issue with that, after all "Sossy" banter is my other expertise." He paused. "You were worried about my feelings for you?"

She looked at him. "No, not your feelings for me, mine for you."

He couldn't help but grin. "You mean even back then?"

She nodded. "Even then. I think I will make that time for us to get away."

They kissed.
