Act 1
Helena, the Temptress
Elizabeth stepped out of the underground station, eyes squinting against the bright sunlight. The hot air that hit her felt stifling. The number of people on the streets nearly made her regret her decision of meeting Helena. She stood by the entrance to Bond Street Station and watched the passersby. The street was filled with tourists from all over the world; different languages reached her ears and she easily identified most of them. When a soft voiced spoke to her from directly behind her, she jumped.
“Don’t do that!” Elizabeth turned to face her friend and hit her on the arm before hugging her.
Helena smiled and gazed at her friend. “You are looking good.”
The short brunette thanked the compliment and blushed.
“Oh, this is going to be such a wonderful day! I can’t believe we can finally leave our kids with our husbands and just go shopping, eating and not have to constantly have a pushchair in front of us.” Helena said looking thoroughly exhilarated.
“I know! Let us make this day last and enjoy it while it lasts. So, what should we do first?” Elizabeth looked towards the large impressive building across the street.
Helena grabbed Elizabeth’s arm, much to the latter one’s embarrassment. Although this was a habit Helena had since they first met ten years ago, she still couldn’t get used to it. However, Elizabeth had slowly accepted that perhaps it was just nothing and accepted her arm.
“How about we go into Selfridges? They have nice things there.” Helena suggested.
Selfridges was just across the street from Bond Street Station and Elizabeth had already decided she wanted to buy some nice lingerie to impress her husband, so she was happy with Helena’s choice. Before either of them noticed, Helena and Elizabeth were holding hands and felt very comfortable with each other. Being girls, they got a few looks, but most people just assumed it was something girls did. In fact, it was something Helena always did, but Elizabeth always thought it strange. Having been brought up in a strongly religious household and being told that gays and lesbians went to Hell, she always feared becoming a lesbian and had never had such thoughts until many years later. The notion that she might be anything but straight never crossed her mind even when she sometimes caught herself eyeing some woman she thought was good looking.
The women walked into the store and as they looked around them felt as if they had entered paradise.
“I haven’t been in here in such a long time I am afraid of spending most of the day in here.” Elizabeth quickly recollected the number of times she had been in this store prior to having a child. Life when she still had a job and both she and her husband lived just around the corner from Oxford Street.
“Me too. Where shall we start?”
Elizabeth noticed that Helena hadn’t lost her habit of reading out signs out loud. That was the friend she had known most of her life. Elizabeth smiled at her friend’s quirkiness.
“Lingerie? I think one can never have too much sexy underwear and I am sure Matt will not mind it.”
“Too true and I do need something nice.”
Helena held tightly onto Elizabeth’s hand and guided her around the perfumes, up through the casual clothing and they were finally greeted at the top of the escalator by the AP stand which then led to a world of brands and all sorts of different lingerie – from practical to absolutely drop dead gorgeous oozing sexiness. Helena fingered one of the bras which was clearly not something you could wear outside your house unless you were an extremely brave person. The bra came just below the nipple which you could cover with tassels, should you find the need to be discreet. Helena decided that she had to have one of those. Elizabeth had another browse and selected a pink and black lace bra through which you could still see the nipples, but not too much. They quickly selected matching underpants and then looked for the changing room. The spacious room could easily accommodate five people and the shop lady asked if they were sharing a room or if they wanted separate rooms.
“I think sep...” Helena interrupted Elizabeth’s sentence with a sonorous “together.” Elizabeth went completely red with embarrassment thinking the situation was just wrong. She felt her heart thumping in her chest and told it to quieten. She wasn’t sure why she felt that way.
Elizabeth turned her back on Helena and slowly removed her clothing, but it wasn’t of much use as the room had mirrors on every side, they were only missing mirrors on the ceiling and floor to make her feel even more uncomfortable.
“Those look good on you.” Helena stood directly behind the shorter woman and looked absolutely stunning with her full breasts resting on the bra. Her nipples stared at Elizabeth through the mirror as she stole a glance at her. Helena’s arms wrapped around an uncomfortable Elizabeth and she gently encircled the woman until both her hands were placed beneath each of her breasts, her thumbs circling the nipples. Elizabeth closed her eyes and felt herself become aroused. Her head tilted sideways towards Helena’s as her heart started beating faster. Her lips touched the short haired brunette’s bare neck ever so slightly, but it felt like fire. She moistened her lips and let out a quiet moan. Elizabeth caressed the taller woman’s hands and arms and while one of her hands remained teasing a nipple, the other traced her flat stomach and slowly made its way towards her waxed mound. Elizabeth reached back and found her waiting. She felt so wet the short brunette gently caressed her clitoris and then found her way inside the other woman; she inserted two fingers feeling her warm soft wet pocket. Elizabeth opened her eyes to admire their naked bodies entwined like one. Helena and Elizabeth’s eyes met; their lust and hunger matching each other’s. Helena’s husky voice whispered unintelligible words at first and then much to Elizabeth’s surprise she said, “I’ve been waiting for such a long time to take you like this.”
Elizabeth turned to face her. Comprehension dawning on her. She gave Helena a deep kiss. “I’ve always wanted you.” She lowered herself and took a nipple between her teeth. With three fingers this time, she started to rhythmically move in and out of Helena.
Moaning and sighing, Helena was about to orgasm when she asked Elizabeth to stop. “Your turn.”
Helena placed her hand on Elizabeth’s shoulder guiding her towards the floor whilst kissing her. Her mouth moved down her neck, teased her nipples, her stomach and found its way to her swollen nub where it lingered for a while. The warmth of her breath felt delirious. The tongue circled the nub and then quickly plunged inside her and returned to licking her clitoris. Helena used her tongue expertly to give Elizabeth as much pleasure as possible. The brunette’s back arched in ecstasy. Her mouth longed for Helena but all she could do at the moment was moan and sigh. The outside world was far from their minds. Elizabeth came in a violent spasm wishing it wasn’t over. She got up to her knees and looked into Helena’s eyes as her hands pulled the other woman’s legs apart. She admired Helena’s pussy which was neatly shaved and had a thin line guiding her towards the swollen clitoris. Elizabeth sucked on it feeling its shape and smoothness. She explored every fold and crease of the pussy before delving inside. It felt hot and sweet. Elizabeth enjoyed every moment of this discovery and wanted to give Helena all the pleasure in the world. She returned to sucking and circling the clitoris and watched Helena’s ecstatic face. No sooner did she come into her mouth, the women were once again locked in an embrace kissing and caressing each other.
“I don’t want to leave this room.” Elizabeth hid her face in Helena’s shoulders.
“I know.” Helena rested her cheek against Elizabeth’s head.
“I don’t... why didn’t you ever tell me?” she looked Helena in the eye.
“I thought you might not.”
“I guess I did too.”
Getting dressed took a while as they hindered each other by stopping to kiss and caress. They then took each other’s hands in a firm clasp and walked out of the room as if nothing had happened.
“We are taking these.” Helena handed the lingerie to the cashier.
