Helena L'Amour

He had been right. She did like it. Lena loved the feel of his touch. She loved the fact that he was in complete control of how much pleasure she received, and that he could deny her the satisfaction just as easily. Helena didn't know for how long she was going to be able to maintain his attention, but she was determined to enjoy it for however long she had it. 

As he laced his fingers in her hair, Lena felt the approval from him that she craved, and it pushed her past perhaps when she should have stopped. However, eventually she did come up for air. Being met with his verbal approval, however, as he lifted her chin to look at him, was exactly what she had wanted to hear. Though she blushed as he pointed out the saliva on her chin. She didn't look away though, he had lifted her face to look at him. So this was clearly what he wanted in that moment. She wouldn't want to disappoint him just because she was a little embarrassed.

Moments later he used her chin to help guide her to her feet. The world spun as suddenly her back was pressed up against him. Her cheeks flushed as she saw the camp before them and realized that they were out in the open and anyone could walk by at any moment. Suddenly she was very aware of just how big a risk she was taking. She could hear him whispering in her ears, however, and she felt powerless to resist him. His hands adeptly explored her body and he knew exactly what he needed to do to bring her to the edge of bliss. His fingers moved with expert precision and she found herself desperate for him to finish what he had started. "As many as you put your mind to, sir." She answered honestly. Helena was fairly certain that if Mateo wanted to, he could make her cum until she was weak in the knees and had forgotten her own name. She had no experience and likely didn't have the same stamina that he had, yet. "That's the point of our contract master, isn't it? That I'm yours to play with now." She hoped the answer would satisfy him.

Another soft moan escaped her lips as his fingers began to move in and out of her. Thoughts of what else he could do with her raced through her mind. She felt herself growing hot, despite the chill of the night air that now washed over them as the sun had sank below the horizon. "Gods I want you..." The words came to her mouth unbidden, but they were true. 

Lena sighed as James reminded her of the one flaw in Mateo. Ever since his ex, he hadn't been one for commitment. Everyone knew it. She had really fucked him up, Lena guessed. "I know..." She shrugged. "But what can I do?" Love was something one didn't really have much choice over. Not in who one was attracted to, anyway. You could choose not to pursue that attraction. You could choose not to treat a person with love. But you the natural desire for someone was a flame that burned from within and was able to either warm or consume a person. Playing with fire often led to getting burned, but if she was willing to take that heat if it meant even a chance that she could find her happiness. "He's the only one for me... I've never wanted anyone else." Helena didn't feel attraction easily, or hardly ever. She could always appreciate someone's aesthetics, she could understand why others felt that desire. But her own desire was hard to come by.

"Like you?" Helena quirked her brow. Well this is interesting... he doesn't know... She could tell that they both had real feelings for one another. The kind that, if they let it, would last ages. They simply needed to be brave enough to take that step. Last night at the party it had been more than apparent to all the children of Aphrodite in the hall. "I care because it tells me what his comfort level is. I care because I don't like not being able to answer people. And I care because... I'm afraid if we don't call it something he can just walk away as quickly as he came into my life..." 

That last one was what really got her. She knew it was the biggest reason she was concerned, but she hadn't ever said it out loud. She was terrified that he would lose interest in her just as quickly as he had developed it. She wasn't sure after all those years of longing after him her heart could take that level of disappointment. Especially not when there had never been anyone else for her. "I'm not like my siblings... I don't fall very often. Maybe there's something wrong with me." She sighed and leaned back against the post in the stall. "My brothers and sisters seem to fall in and out of love quickly. But... I... it's only ever been him." Aphrodite was the goddess of love in all its forms. Her siblings seemed to catch the fleeting kind regularly, developing crushes and getting into relationships quickly, but they often fizzled. Helena had watched it for years. Occasionally she thought that maybe the reason she was different was because she was meant to feel the once-in-a-lifetime, forever kind of love. But it was only a thought, and she had no real way to know if it was anything more than just the hopeful fantasy of a girl helplessly in love with a boy.

Helena continued to sway to the rhythm with Mateo. She blushed as he told her that she oozed trouble. For him, that was probably true. The girl wasn't much trouble on her own, but with him she knew that neither of them really thought straight anymore. "Very hard. It's not always easy to behave myself around you." Leaning in to whisper into his ear, she continued, "You make me want to do very bad things, sir." The last word was barely enough for him to hear it above the music. Then she pulled back to keep dancing like nothing had happened. It had been honest though, Mateo had such a significant effect on her, Lena wasn't sure he even realized how big of an impact it was. 

As he asked her what she had done that night, Lena was certain she had been caught in her earlier efforts. With a small sigh, she confessed. "I gave that Nike girl a little bit of a push to accept what she already felt." That was really it. James and Rissa had acted on their own accord with no help from her. "I don't create feelings that don't exist, if that's what you're asking." People were always skeptical of the children of Aphrodite when it came to matters of love. She knew she probably should have expected these concerns at some point, but it didn't stop it from hurting. "I can, but I don't." She admitted. If I did, I wouldn't have had to wait three years for you to notice I existed. But she kept that thought to herself. Lena wasn't trying to ruin the night. "Is there a reason you're asking?"

Lena continued to dance with Mateo, smiling softly as she continued to lean against his chest. Swaying with him as he danced, she asked, "What kind of trouble would I get into?" She lifted her head from his chest to look into his eyes. Her face inches from his, as she whispered, "I'm trying very hard to be a good girl." Helena winked at him. Continuing to sway to the beat, she came to the realization that she had never seen him dance with anyone else before. Over the years there had been many parties, and though this was the first one that they had come to together, it wasn't the first one they had both attended. She had seen him come to other parties, usually alone or with his ex. Never had she seen him dance. That realization made her heart skip a beat.

As Mateo teased Lena with his fingers, he broke the kiss. He didn't need to say anything, though he had, because Lena let a soft moan escape before she could bite her lip. "Mmmm not fair." She said with a small grin, knowing that he never had any intention of playing fair with her. Lena had known before things even began how the evening would end. It wasn't surprising in the least that he was doing everything he could to make her want him. The only thing that surprised her was how much he was letting her get away with before taking over completely. Now she thought she might have understood why. He definitely wasn't making it easy for her.

Since he hadn't played fair, neither did she. Her desire swelled within her, and she went and took even more of him. Now, on her knees, with his cock in her mouth, she was surprised at just how easily she had managed to assume her role as his. It was instinctive to her, the desire to please him. She had been desperate for his attention for several years, and now that she had it she knew that she would do just about anything to keep it. 

As his fingers laced themselves into her hair, and his words of praise left his lips, Lena knew that she had passed the point of no return. She was his now. Completely. Lena suddenly found herself bobbing along his shaft with more eagerness. Her tongue ran the length of him, limply at first but then she began to use it to apply more pressure and motion. She would swirl it around the tip from time to time. With that small bit of praise, he had encouraged her to dive in more eagerly in search of more. With his fingers tangled into her hair and gripped, Lena felt an odd feeling of satisfaction. She could tell he was enjoying himself and she found that she took pride in being able to provide that for him after so many years of wondering what it would be like.

For several minutes she continued like that until she needed to catch her breath. Lena blushed as she stopped, and looked up at him. "How did I do?"

Lena shrugged and breathed a small sigh of relief. People still thought that she was sweet and innocent in all this. It wasn't much, but it helped. The fact that she had put the limit that she wasn't to call him by his title in public meant that she could feign plausible deniability if they split later. They could suspect things, but they couldn't prove it. Her reputation wasn't completely irreparable yet. "I mean, it's hardly a secret that I've been infatuated with him all these years." Helena gave a soft smile. "Everyone's got their pros and cons right? I wasn't going to snub his attention when I finally got it just because he may or may not be into things."  She shrugged slightly, trying to feign ignorance. Nothing she had said was untrue, but she was definitely not admitting that she knew more than she was letting on. It hurt that she felt like she was deceiving literally one of the nicest men at camp, but Lena wasn't ready to be honest about how they had spent the last few weeks. Not until I know where I stand with him.

"James, he's one of your best friends..." She fixed him with a look and a half-smile that said she knew exactly how that conversation was going to go. "Everything is so new and exciting for us both right now. And I'll keep his attention for as long as it stays that way. But the instant I start asking him about commitment..." Lena waved her fingers of to one side in the international hand gesture for running away. "I'm not an idiot. I might be a child of Aphrodite, but unlike many of my siblings I still remember how to use my brain." Her cabin had more than earned their reputation for being airheads over the years. However, she had never really been as bad. She definitely fixated on romance and love, but always with the understanding that it should be part of her life but not her whole life. "Someday I'll talk to him. But it can't be now." She shrugged. "Besides... I know what he feels, remember? The emotions are there... even if he's not ready to admit that." Children of Aphrodite could sense love as if it were a tangible force in this world. Mateo was slowly, but surely, falling. She could feel it. "I just... I don't know... I want to know what to call him when other people ask about it. I want a word I can use that I don't have to explain."

Nostalgia

Lena caught Ash's wink, and as she changed the tempo, she mouthed towards the singer a distinct 'Thank you'. She led Mateo further out into the floor, and then turned to face him. Wrapping her arms so that they draped over his shoulders and connected her hands behind his neck. Slowly she began to sway gently back and forth between her two feet. She wasn't sure if Mateo knew how to dance, so she started slow with him. Her eyes met his, and she blushed softly, biting her lip momentarily before releasing it. For Helena, this moment was pure magic. It was the first of what she hoped were many other romantic firsts. Her and Mateo had incredible chemistry, and they had already experienced so many other passionate firsts. But romance was something new for them, and Lena hoped it wouldn't be the last time.

She let her head rest against his chest. Lena could hear his heartbeat. Smiling softly, she whispered. "Thank you." She wasn't sure if she was thanking Mateo for bringing her to the party and dancing with her, or if she was thanking her mother for the emotions she was feeling. All she knew was that she was so very grateful for this moment in time. 

Lena shrugged as he spoke. She thought she saw just the tiniest bit of worry in his eyes, which pleased her. It meant he didn't want her to leave. I can work with that. "There is a big difference between suspecting, and knowing for certain." Lena hoped he understood that she knew she couldn't stop them from gossiping, but she could at least control how much of their gossip was proven to be factual.  "They can gossip all they want. I just... like knowing that they don't have any proof, I guess?" She hoped that made sense. 

None of that really mattered much to Helena anymore though. She was lost to the passion that had overcome her. Her hand continued to stroke his shaft firmly as she felt his hand move down to slide against her clit. She pressed her lips once more to his in an effort to stifle the sound of her breath growing uneven at his touch. She tried to focus her attention on his cock, but it was growing difficult as he continued to pleasure her. He was warmer and more firm than she had anticipated. Though she had felt him press it against her several times while they were flirting earlier, she hadn't realized how firm it would actually be beneath her fingers. 

Lena could feel herself growing damp at his touch, and she felt her eagerness growing. As the desire welled within her, she wanted more and more of him. Gently, Lena kissed her way down to his chin, then neck, and continued to move down across his abdomen toward his erect cock. As she reached the base of his shaft, she use the hand that had been stroking him and grasped it firmly to hold it in place. Moving her lips to the tip, she began to take him in, letting her tongue run the length of it. From her knees, she looked up at him, wordlessly, as if seeking his approval of her performance.

"I'm not ashamed!" Helena got very defensive in that moment. She certainly was not ashamed of how she felt about Mateo. The last thing she wanted was for anyone to think that. "I am so goddamn happy I could shout it from Olympus!" Lena confessed enthusiastically. "It's just... I don't really know what everyone's saying about it." The nervous look came over her again. Helena didn't really like being the focus of attention. She didn't want to be a subject of gossip around the camp, not really. And her biggest fear was that whatever they were saying would ruin things between her and Mateo.

Lena blushed as James said he could talk about it with her. He was a safe space for many of the campers. She knew that. While she hadn't necessarily utilized his company in that capacity before, she knew that if he promised to keep things secret he would. "I just don't... I don't know what we are." Lena admitted. She chewed softly on her lower lip as she looked back at her feet and kicked around some of the hay near her feet. "I'm afraid to ask, because what if it scares him away... you know?" Helena shrugged. "I know it's stupid. But... James... I've waited 4 summers for him to notice me."

Lena sipped on her new cup of jungle juice and listened as Larissa began talking about college life. "A break? Really?" Helena was surprised. Half the time, before her newfound lover decided to give her the time of day, she thought a ticket out of here was just what she needed. College seemed like a great place to go to escape it all. "Just not feeling it, or...?" She chuckled a bit as Larissa asked if she needed help getting the boys off of her. "Actually, a bit of yes and a bit of no. There's one boy whose attention I wouldn't mind keeping." Lena gave a subtle nod in Mateo's direction. "I think I finally have it." She smiled and bit her lip softly as she did so. Anyone who had been paying attention to Helena over the years knew that she had been head over heels for him since she arrived at camp. So it was no surprise that she was on cloud nine now that he was interested in her too.

It wasn't long, however, before James made his way over and asked Larissa to dance. Lena was surprised at how quickly that had happened. I didn't even have to do anything... She had been planning to try and make this very thing happen. Yet here James was, without her even having to lift a finger to make it happen. I certainly won't complain. Helena grinned as she sipped from her drink once more. 

She had been so caught up in watching James and Larissa, that she didn't realize when Mateo walked up until he whispered in her ear. Immediately, she blushed and turned to face him. "Yeah... you left me." She pouted playfully at him. However, all was forgiven as he said the next words. "Really?" Her eyes widened and she set her drink down on the table. "Of course I do!" She beamed and then kissed him deeply.

As her lips left his, she grabbed his hand and began to lead him out onto the dance floor. Then she called out to Aislynn, "Turn it up!"

Helena smirked as her opportunity finally walked through the door. Larissa was back. As she waved over to James, Helena felt that flicker of lust that she had recognized in so many of the other campers in the room. And as he waved back, it was returned. So that's how it is? That was all too fortuitous. It would have to be the most subtle of movements. If Mateo saw her, Lena knew he would get grumpy with her for interrupting his game. But what was she supposed to do? He brought her to a party and then proceeded to tell her to entertain herself, effectively. It wasn't like she was hurting anyone. All she was doing was nudging people into the direction they were already headed. 

Lena excused herself from her dance partner and made her way over to Larissa. She smiled sweetly, "Welcome back to camp." The older campers that had been around for a while knew one another's faces fairly well. It wasn't unheard of for them to return. "How was university life?" Lena reached over and poured herself a bit of the punch. Taking a sip she realized her mistake, it was definitely more Jungle Juice. Whoops! Lena continued to sip on it, however. After all, she was still trying to figure out how to organically convince Larissa to go over and talk to James.

Peering over her glass, she raised it towards Mateo and winked as she drank more. 

Helena nodded softly at his question. "I'm happy to be yours. All yours. But, I... I don't know that I can have my sex life public." Despite her best efforts, Helena still cared far too much what others thought of her. She didn't want her reputation to be completely ruined if Mateo decided to leave her. Of course, she would do her best to ensure that the thought never entered his mind. But she wasn't going to use the gifts from her mother to keep him, so there were never any guarantees. Lena wanted real passion and real love. Not the manufactured stuff her magic could bring. It had taken three years, but she was finally about to get the boy she had always wanted and it felt better than manipulating him into being with her ever could have. But with that ultimate rush she felt, she also knew that he could leave her just as quickly. "Not yet, anyway. I hope that's alright."

His fingers on her body continued to bring that small spark of passion that excited her. The warmth radiated from his fingers and amplified in her. And as he stopped just above her swimsuit she was almost ready to beg for more. She knew it was in her power to have more though, hadn't he told her that he would do what she did? It didn't take long though before his own impatience appeared to get the better of him. Or perhaps he was afraid that she would lose her courage and he wanted to give her a nudge. Lena wasn't sure. Whatever it was, Mateo's hand slid once more beneath her bathing suit, just slightly out of reach of what she wanted. His voice taunted her, challenged her. His fingers teased her beyond the point of desire. "I can handle it." She promised, with a confidence that was definitely not earned, and just the tiniest hint of defiance that he had questioned her. In that moment, however, she suddenly felt as if she knew exactly what to do. Despite having never done anything, her hands began to move as if she had expertise. Helena assumed it must be something that all Aphrodite children experienced when it came time, as it felt so natural.

Mateo's hand undid the tie on her swimsuit bottoms and she let them fall around her ankles. Helena untied his with her left hand as she moved the right up to his face and brought him in for a deep kiss. My first kiss. Her lips pressed to his with a determination and passion that she hadn't realized she possessed. As she got the tie on his trunks undone, she slid them off him never letting her lips leave his for a moment. Her left hand resting on his hip as the clothing fell. When she couldn't hold it anymore, she broke the kiss finally bringing her hands behind her back to undo her top. "I want both. I want you. And I want to see what you can do." Helena smirked, the newfound confidence fueling her as she let her top fall to the sand. "When it comes to you, I plan to be very, very greedy." She pressed her lips to his once more, nipping at his bottom lip as she let her hand find his cock.

It was already firm and warm beneath her hand. Helena pressed her chest against his, letting only enough space for her hand to work its magic remain on their lower halves. Her fingers wrapped around his shaft and she slowly began to move it along. The strokes built up in rhythm as they continued. As her lips parted with his, she smiled against him. "Your move... master."
