Helena watched as the scroll appeared in the air next to him. A contract? She quirked her eyebrow as she reached for the parchment before her. Grabbing it, she read over it. She might be a bit naïve, but she wasn't an idiot. The last thing she was going to do was sign a contract that completely screwed her over. She could feel his breath on her neck as he walked behind her, just close enough to feel the heat. Helena bit her lip subconsciously as she read. There was nothing in the contract that was immediately alarming. Not from her perspective anyway. In essence, it declared that she would submit to him sexually, and be available for pleasure at his leisure. In return he would provide her with pleasure, also at his leisure. Helena perused it one more time to make sure that she wasn't signing away all free-will, outside of sexual activities, "I'll need a pen... sir." Helena said with a smirk. 

She could feel her pulse racing at the very prospect of being his. Owned. Claimed. However he chose to phrase it, Helena knew that once she signed that contract, that was it. Her life would change. It was both terrifying and tantalizing. In her mind she could already imagine the feel of his hands roaming the curves of her body, the touch of his lips against the crook in her neck. She could hear the blood rushing through her body, and feel her nerves come alive at the proximity of him to her. Every inch of her wanted him, wanted him to want her, wanted him to control her. "Can't promise I'll be the most well behaved though." Releasing her lip from the bite, Helena smirked. There wasn't any fun if she didn't try to rebel a little every now and then, was there? 

Lena noticed the smirk on his lips and wasn't sure whether to be intrigued or concerned by it. He had an air about him that just screamed trouble, but she found that she liked it. She hadn't been able to find herself anyone that could make her feel stimulated in any way. Here was a man that made her feel incredibly so. But as he spoke, Lena tilted her head to the side. "Those people would have to want me first. And... I wasn't sure that was something you felt." That was an outright lie, and they both likely knew it. Aphrodite's children could always feel when there was love or lust in play. The tension had started the moment she revealed her bathing suit, and she knew it. Something in Mat had changed while he was away, or something in her had. But for once, she appeared to have at least some of his interest. "But it's good to know that you're worried about me." Lena said with a wink.

She watched as his eyes appeared to search her, trying to find answers. She was about to ask what he was looking for when he spoke again. "Passion. I don't particularly care what we do. I don't have any experience, not really." And that was certainly true. She had read more than her fair share of romance novels. Knew about the kind of things he was asking for. But she had never experienced them. Lena took a step closer to him, and smiled. "Tie me up. Gag me. Whip me if you like. Just make sure I know whose in charge." Lena grinned impishly at him. "You know, for those guys who are interested." Your move, Mat. Lena felt like she was in a game of chess. One wrong move and it would be game over. But right now she was having too much fun not to take a few risks here or there. 

"Not really." Lena chuckled as she replied to his question. It wasn't that she particularly wanted to be difficult, but really, if he was going to be over here anyway, he might as well keep her company, right? "Don't worry, there's a whole ocean if you decide you need a little space." She smirked and let the waves continue to lap at her toes. The feel of the water against her feet and ankles was soothing as she took another step forward. She wasn't sure, but she thought she caught him looking at her out of the corner of her eye and she smiled contentedly. A small victory then. 

She hadn't really expected much from him by way of an answer, so when he said he had gone to parties Lena assumed that would be the end of it. She was about to ask if the parties had been entertaining when he continued. "Why wouldn't I find them fun?" She felt a little indignant at first. It seemed rather rude of him to just assume that she was a boring girl who didn't like parties. Just because she wasn't a child of Dionysus didn't mean she didn't know how to party. She was about to correct him when he spoke again. Her cheeks flushed immediately as he asked his next question and his eyes met hers. "I want someone who can control me." She found herself admitting without hesitation. She hadn't even thought about it until that moment, but it made sense. As one of the few children of Aphrodite that had been gifted with Charmspeak, she could get anyone to do anything she wanted. Even mosters and the minor gods weren't immune to her charms. But to find someone that could take that power away from her, gag her if he had to, that would be the most freeing feeling. Because then she would know that he wanted her by himself, and not because she had convinced him to. "But I... haven't found anyone that can."

Nocturnal

The man before her was one of the older campers. She had known him since she was thirteen but it seemed he didn't remember her. But he was, perhaps, one of the few people at camp that her eyes kept flitting back to every now and then. Now, with him standing there shirtless in front of her, she could understand why it had been hard for her to keep her eyes off him before. He was quite the spectacle to behold. She felt her pulse quicken and internally cursed at herself for being so typically Aphrodite's child in that moment. Don't become an idiot just because you've seen a pretty boy, Lena. She scolded herself internally. Get yourself together. She didn't know Mat all that well, but she did know that he hadn't ever been fond of the dumb girls that fawned all over him. The last thing she wanted was to add herself to that list on one of the last few men at camp that intrigued her.

Propping herself up on her arms in the beach chair, she smirked as she responded. "Well, I had been planning on it. But I suppose I could make an exception in your case." She tilted her head and smiled. "But you'll have to let me join you, Mat." Getting up from the chair, she pulled her shirt off to reveal the top of a black string bikini. The cloth panels that covered her breasts pressed them together to form a decent amount of cleavage. Then she took her time slipping off her shorts slowly down her legs. 

Walking over to him, she let her toes settle in the sand, the waves lapping across them. The Atlantic was still incredibly cold, even though summer was starting, but Lena didn't appear bothered by it. "So what have you been up to? It's been a while..." She asked casually, looking out across the ocean in front of her, with conscious effort not to turn to him. She was willing to flirt, but she wouldn't make an idiot of herself. Not for him, not for anyone. While she absolutely believed true love and romance existed, Lena also believed it didn't come from attraction and lust alone, but required true nurturing, and required someone to know the real you. Not whatever person you pretended to be with them around. So while it may have felt more natural to let herself become giggly and overly flirtatious with someone she found attraction to, she knew that was just the lust talking and not her real self. Her real self was much more calm and collected than that. "Anything fun?"

Helena had spent the last several months bored out of her mind. Things were dull in the Aphrodite cabin lately. All her siblings seemed to be obsessed with coupling up and Helena had yet to find anyone that could keep her interest for long. She tried to date people here and there, but nothing ever lasted. The boys didn't appear to have minds of their own when it came to her, and that was without using her charmspeak. She basically just had to promise to give them a kiss and they tripped over themselves to please her. Lena wanted something more than that. She wanted someone that would be her equal, not her thrall. Or, at the very least, a man that actually hold a conversation with her. But instead she found that the boys her age just weren't ready for that.

It was because of that, that Lena strolled off to a secluded section of the beach she had found several months ago. Almost nobody ever came there, so she had used it for a place to go when she needed an escape. She felt calmed by the ocean. It was probably because her mother had come from the ocean, if she really stopped to think about it. But for her the beach had always been a safe place to go collect seashells and spend time with her father and stepmother. 

Lena had been relaxing in a chair listening to the waves lap against the shore when she heard footsteps approaching. "If you're coming to bring me back to camp, save your breath." She turned her head to see who it was that was walking her way and immediately regretted her previous tone. "Oh... Sorry... I thought you were one of the Aphrodite kids trying to bring me back." She blushed softly and chewed her lower lip. "Sorry about that."
