Alexa removed her fingers and put them to her mouth to taste them, licking them clean.  ‘Hmm..you taste good,’ she said, still glowing that she had brought Helena to climax.  ‘Can I?…’

Helena’s eyes grew wide recovering.  She pulled Alexa to her and kissed her, rolling them both onto their sides.  ‘Later tiger’ she said.  They gazed at each other that way, legs intertwined, lips so close that their breath mingled. Alexa reached out to stroke Helena’s hair from her face.  She loved the way it felt, glossy against her hands.  Whilst Alexa was marveling at the revelations of physical intimacy, Helena was marvelling at their emotional closeness.

She had played this game before, seducing women in hotel rooms, sometimes young and inexperienced like Alexa.  She’d taken a thrill in being their first, in ‘turning’ them in the past but whatever the scenario the rules were usually the same.  They had their fun and as soon as the fun was over so was the party. The girl in question would get her stuff and leave and Helena would enjoy her bed alone, tension free with a smile on her face.  She wasn’t a total player.  She’d had relationships, one or two long-term and then the rules were different but they were clearly defined, with women she’d chosen as suitable, dated properly, found common ground with, marked out as a good match.

But now there was Alexa, the girl who wouldn’t let her place her in the box she wanted to.  With Alexa it was supposed to be all about a good time, no strings, she’d told her as such but Alexa wasn’t going anywhere, in fact Helena had made it impossible for her to do so, taking her to Paris, booking them a hotel room for the night.  She justified it that way in her mind, she had no choice but to let her spend the night but deep down she knew the truth, she didn’t want Alexa to leave.  Helena wanted to wake up with Alexa almost as much as she’d wanted to sleep with her and there in lay the problem.

‘What are you thinking about?’ asked Alexa.

‘That’s such a lesbian thing to say,’ said Helena and laughed.
