Helena smirked and let it fall from her shoulders leaving her entirely naked.  Alexa took in a breath.  ‘Have I ever told you how unbelievably hot you are?’ asked Alexa, scanning every plain of Helena’s lithe body.

Helena licked her lips and crawled to join Alexa on the bed.  ‘The jeans need to go,’ she said and stretched out above Alexa, pinning her hands above her head.  In that second of anticipation they both stilled acknowledging the powerful sexual connection they had.  The shrill tone of Helena’s phone interrupted as she swept down to kiss Alexa.

‘Hmm..ignore it,’ said Helena, pulling down the zipper of Alexa’s jeans and pulling them off her legs.  Alexa had every intention of ignoring it as she wrapped her legs around Helena and allowed her tongue access to her mouth.

‘Helena pick up darling, I know you’re not out at the office and Magda said you were in so I can only assume…’

‘Shit,’ cursed Helena.  ‘It’s my mother I have to take this or she’ll never shut up.’

Alexa groaned and then laughed, stretching out next to Helena as she picked up the phone.

‘Mother,’ she said.

‘Put me on speaker phone I want to talk to your lady friend.’

‘What?  How do you even know she’s with me?’

‘Oh please I hear you’ve been at it like rabbits.’

‘She wants to speak to you,’ Helena whispered and hit the speaker phone as a shocked expression appeared on Alexa’s face.

‘Hello Mrs Peabody,’ said Alexa tentatively.

‘Hello Alexa, Bette had told me a lot about you.  It’s terrible when a mother hears this information from a third party Helena.’

Helena just sighed dramatically.

‘Are you there darling?’ asked Peggy.

‘Was there something you wanted mummy?’

‘Yes to say I’m coming to dinner in a hour.  Jean Claude is going to cook for us all.  When you don’t introduce me I have to take it upon myself don’t I?’

‘An hour?  That’s awfully short notice, we had plans,’  Helena lied.

‘Well cancel, I’m in town and I want to meet your new girlfriend, show your mother some courtesy.  You don’t mind me coming do you Alexa?’

Alexa shrugged at Helena.  ‘Of course not Mrs Peabody I’m looking forward to meeting you, Helena has told me a lot about you.’

‘Oh dear, I’ll have quite a job on to salvage my reputation then won’t I?  See you in an hour girls, do try to get some clothes on before then.’

‘Fuck’ said Helena dramatically.  ‘This is going to be horrific!’

Alexa frowned.  ‘Hey I’d rather spend the evening in bed with you than talk to your mother but it won’t be that bad will it?’

‘It’ll be a nightmare.’

Alexa edged closer to Helena and propped herself on her elbow.  ‘Why?  Is she going to hate me?  Or is it because you think it seems weird for you me meeting her after the short time we’ve spent together?’

Helena pulled out of her slump and trailed a hand up and down Alexa’s arm, letting in slip off and caress the valley of her breasts.  ‘It’s not about that at all Lex, it’s about her, she’s just so…I don’t know.  She has this way of making me look like a complete idiot in front of anyone and I don’t want her frightening you off.’

‘If she frightens me it’ll be away from her and not away from you Helena.’

‘Promise?’ asked Helena showing her vulnerable side to Alexa.

Alexa raised herself from the bed slightly and kissed Helena, sweetly leaving her with the promise of more to come.  ‘It’ll take more than a scary mother to stop me from finishing what we started here after she leaves tonight.’
