Dating HG Wells
By Athena
Chapter 4
Over the next couple of days they had managed to steal a kiss here and there, but every night HG had said good night without inviting Myka in, something that she found slightly confusing. They had not spoken about the future since that first night. Myka was getting restless.
Three days after HG moved in, the whole gang had gone out for dinner in town. It had been a fun night with a lot of laughter and wine. Still the fact that HG had been sitting next to Claudia instead of her, bothered Myka to no end. The woman had paid more attention to Pete than her, for crying out loud. Determined to ask Helena out, she went looking for her. She found her in front of the computer in the office, a stack of thick files next to her on the desk.
"Myka, what a lovely surprise," HG said and smiled. "Come here darling."
"Hi Helena." Myka casually walked over. She yelped when HG grabbed the waistline of her jeans and tugged her closer. HG's fingers were in her panties. Myka sucked in air between her teeth. "Helena, for Christ's sake. Are you out of your mind? Let go of my pants," she hissed.
HG laughed and winked at her. "I've missed you darling. Come here, give me a kiss."
Myka leaned down and brushed her lips against HG's. "Mhmmph," was all she managed to get out as HG pulled her down on her lap all while kissing her madly. Her hands somehow ended up in HG's hair and she pulled her closer.
"God Helena, will I ever understand you," Myka whispered trying to catch her breath.
HG caressed her cheek. "I'm sure you will conquer that challenge as magnificently as everything else you set out to do darling," she said confidently.
Myka grinned. Helena really was worth the effort. "Will you have dinner with me tonight?"
HG nodded enthusiastically. She noticed Myka chewing on her lip, and she looked more intently at her. "You're confused," she stated.
"A little."
"I'm sorry. I need time Myka."
"I know. It's just that I want you so much," Myka whispered, tears in her eyes.
HG kissed her softly. "I know. Let's talk tonight. All right?"
"Okay."
"Now get your cute arse out of here before we end up in a really compromising situation," HG said with a laugh and gently slapped Myka's butt.
"Hey watch it lady!" Myka grinned at her.
"Toodles Myka. HG," Claudia said cheerfully as she entered the room. Feeling the charge between the two women she looked first at Myka then at HG. "Okey dokey, what's going on? Can someone fill me in please?"
"Nothing," Myka said quickly.
"Myka doesn't agree with my statement that she has a beautiful behind," HG said with a devilish grin, arms folded over her chest.
"Helena!" Myka gasped.
"Okaaay?!? Not sure that I'm supposed to be part of this conversation. Later ladies," she said and was gone.
"Helena! Are you out of your mind? She'll tell everyone!"
"Would that be so bad?" HG asked quietly.
Myka was stunned. She walked back to HG and gently cupped her chin. "Not at all. I'm just not sure what you want."
"I want you. I just need us to take it slow. Does that make any sense?"
Myka nodded. "But you don't mind if they know?"
HG shook her head.
"Well I guess we both have a lot to think about until tonight," Myka concluded. She gave HG a quick kiss before leaving. She stopped by the door and looked back over her shoulder. "I'll see you tonight then."
"It's a date," HG said cheerfully.
Dinner had been wonderful. They had ended up in a booth in the back of the restaurant which allowed for a lot of touching under the table. It was driving Myka insane. Finally she removed HG's hand from her thigh and signaled the waiter. "Helena, you're killing me. Let's go back to Leena's, okay?"
Helena laughed and nodded. "I think my girl is getting frustrated," she teased.
"You have no idea," Myka muttered as she signed the check. "Come on Mata Hari, let's go."
"Who?"
"Seductive temptress who was also a spy. We have her stockings at the Warehouse," Myka explain.
"You think I'm a spy?" HG asked surprised.
"No, but the first part fits."
Back at the inn they poked their head in the living room to say goodnight to Pete and Claudia. They only got a quick glance and a 'night guys'. The Matrix was on.
HG took Myka's hand and together they climbed the stairs. Neither of them noticing Leena hovering in the door to the library. She smiled knowingly and nodded to herself as the aura colors finally blended around the two women.
"Would you like to come in?" Myka asked softly.
"I'd love to," HG said and brushed past her. She took a seat on the couch and patted the cushion next to her. "Come."
Myka eagerly joined her on the couch. HG took her hands and looked her in the eyes. "I'm sorry for acting strangely this week. I just needed time to think."
"That's okay," Myka said softly.
"You're still hurt by my actions," HG stated. Myka nodded. HG gently cupped her chin. "Darling, if I'd been sitting next to you the other night at the restaurant I wouldn't have been able to keep my hands off of you."
Myka laughed. "I guess that would've been interesting."
"Have you used your little toy?" HG asked huskily, changing the topic.
Myka stared at her, startled at the question. "No."
HG chuckled. "I'm surprised, but pleased."
Myka raised an eyebrow.
"May I stay with you tonight?" HG asked and looked at her with hooded eyes.
"Are you sure?"
HG nodded. "I think I've come to terms with that I both need, and deserve you. We'll see what happens. No matter what, I know that I'll enjoy sleeping next to you."
Myka smiled and kissed her. "Whatever you're comfortable with."
Myka turned on the bedside lamp before turning off the main light. She lit a couple of candles on her dresser and then turned to HG who was still on the loveseat. She held out her hand to her. "Coming?"
