Bette leaned forward brushing her lips against the side of Helena’s neck.

“Let’s not talk about her. She’ll make things complicated,” Bette whispered trailing light kisses along Helena’s jaw.

“She’s your re-bound. I would say that it’s already complicated. But since I know that I can set it aside. We aren’t going to be complicated, Bette,” Helena said moaning softly as Bette bit gently at her neck, her tongue sliding soothingly against Helena’s skin.

“We aren’t?” Bette asked lifting her lips from Helena’s neck to stare into her eyes.

“No we aren’t,” Helena twined her fingers through Bette’s hair.

Bette frowned slightly.

“Why not?” Bette asked sounding almost disappointed.

“Because…” Helena trailed off with a coy shrug.

Bette placed her hands on Helena’s hips stepping even closer.

“Because…?” Bette asked leadingly.

“I’m sorry. You were trying to seduce me and I ruined the mood. Do continue.”

“I don’t get an answer?” Bette asked pouting slightly.

Helena leaned forward pressing her lips to Bette’s.

“Seduction, Bette,” she murmured against Bette’s lips.

“Of course,” Bette said smiling into the kiss.

Slowly the kiss turned from languid to passionate.

Helena opened her mouth her tongue sliding against Bette’s. Bette’s hands smoothed along Helena’s hips one hand sliding across the curve of Helena’s ass.

Helena slid her fingers deeper into Bette’s hair tilting her head to change the angle of the kiss, deepening it even more.

Bette nibbled at Helena’s lips easing back.

“Was that not complicated?” Bette asked in a whisper.

Helena reached out and traced her index finger along Bette’s bottom lip before she leaned forward and pressed her cheek against Bette’s.

“That was straight out lust, Bette. There’s nothing complicated about that. And we won’t be complicated because when you’re with Jodi you’ll think of me. When she kisses you, you’ll think of my kisses. And when you touch her…you’ll think of touching me,” Helena whispered hotly in Bette’s ear.

She stepped back with a wide smile.

“There’s nothing complicated about that,” Helena concluded airily.

Helena turned and Bette caught her arm turning her back.

“Helena,” Bette said sharply. “I want to see you again.”

“Fine by me.”

“And for your information,” Bette began. “It’s going to be complicated.”

Bette leaned forward kissing Helena quick and hard.

“Because those thoughts…they’re gonna go both ways, Helena. And Catherine…well she just won’t compare. I’ll call you,” Bette said before turning and walking down the hall.

Helena rubbed her fingers against her lips and couldn’t help but smile.

Yeah, she thought as she unlocked the door, it was going to be complicated.

But complicated was good.
