Helena groaned and put her pillow over her head dramatically.

She heard a small laugh as Alexa emerged.  ‘What’s with you?’ she asked but Helena barely heard the question, she was too focused on Alexa’s glistening form, her long hair wet round her shoulders from the shower and wearing just a towel.

Alexa caught Helena’s change in expression and she loved it.  One of her greatest sources of joy was knowing that she could inspire desire in a woman she craved as much as Helena.  She watched as Helena, clad in her red robe, looked her up and down appreciatively.

‘Did I ever tell you that you have the sexiest legs I’ve ever seen?’ asked Helena seriously.

‘No, did I ever tell you that red makes you look like the devil’s temptress?’

Alexa stepped closer and Helena ran her hands up and down Alexa’s much discussed legs

Alexa let her knees bend and knelt on the bed, straddling Helena’s waist.  ‘Even this tired I still want you Helena Peabody,’ she said, lacing her hands through Helena’s hair, their lips inches from each other.  ‘That’s got to be unhealthy, don’t you think?’  She didn’t give Helena chance to answer before she kissed her.  After a day of pent up tension, starting since the plane ride they were finally able to kiss with reckless abandon.

Helena collapsed back on the bed, pulling Alexa on top of her.  Alexa slid her hands inside Helena’s robe, moaning as she felt the warm contours of Helena’s breasts caress her hands.  Tonight wasn’t about slow tender love making, the playful atmosphere had turned into one of carnal need for each other.  Helena tried to take control as she removed Alexa’s towel but Alexa was undeterred.  ‘I need to touch you Lena, please,’ she said as her fingers entered her.  Helena gasped at the speed of the invasion.  ‘Fuck,’ she said and threw her head back, giving Alexa’s lips access to her neck.   ‘Oh just like that baby, exactly..like..that.’

Five hours later and Alexa was awake.  The clock read 4:00am but her body told her it was noon.  She slipped quietly out of Helena’s arms and stepped outside to the balcony in the darkness.  She couldn’t pick out the colours of the sea in the night but she could hear the sounds of the waves breaking on the beach.  She thought again at how lucky she was to be staying here with Helena..
