Well, I will have to admit, this night's episode was a giant piece of Teslen awesomeness. The only problem I had with it is that they cut the scene with Nikola in Helen's office. So like the cute fangirl that I am, I decided to fix that ;). Hope you like it :P

Helen was sitting at her desk when Nikola walked in her office. She was busy putting her files in order but immediately stop when she saw him. They hadn't talked for a week now, since that little moment they had shared before the old Sanctuary blew up, and Helen was ready to admit that she had missed him.

"I really like the way you redecorated you know." Nikola said smirking. "But this…" he took the bottle of brandy that was on her desk and poured himself a glass- "… is way below my standards."

"Well sorry, I couldn't exactly find the time to supply my wine cellar. It has been a busy week."

"Yeah. Who knew that being officially dead means you have to do that much work?" Nikola asked and she couldn't help a small smile.

"You could have told me you know. You died before." She pouted.

"And spoil all the fun? Besides, I didn't exactly have an organization to run." Nikola said, sprawling on the couch. He took a sip of the liquid in his glass but immediately made a disgusted face.

"Really, Helen, we have to supply that wine cellar. I can't live on brandy too much. I'm not Johnny you know."

"Oh I know that. In so many ways."

"Took you a while to notice that."

"Anyway, what matters now is that we won. The Sanctuary is free once again, Henry already settled in his new lab, I hope William will come back soon enough…"

"Yes, Helen Magnus wins once again. And this time she discovers she won soon enough."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you won my heart more than a hundred years ago. It's not like you cared until last week."

"Ah. That was your real problem. Well, I guess we both know why you're here then. Spill it out, Niko."

"I should have known you'll do something like this. Try to deny it, give me this cold tone… Why are you smiling, Helen?" Nikola's words froze in his mouth for a second. "Did you just call me Niko?"

A smile appeared on Helen's lips, but it wasn't the kind of smile Nikola was used to. No, it wasn't the regular cute and maybe caring smile he knew. This was a lot more than that. It was a loving smile, with a pretty big hint of I am so going to jump your bones in the next half an hour. Or maybe he was hoping too much…

"And if I did?" Helen was now plainly teasing him, sitting right there, her legs crossed, with that mischievous glint in her eyes.

"Well… that changes everything." Nikola smiled, as he moved closer to Helen's desk. He leaned over her desk, so that now their looks were locked on each other. He didn't want to miss any of her expressions;he wanted to see the truth in her eyes before hearing it from those incredibly delicious lips he had tasted one week ago.

"Was there something you wanted to ask, Nikola?" Helen asked, amused. Maybe teasing Nikola wasn't exactly what she was supposed to do at the time, but truth is, she was nervous. In a way, she was a lot more nervous than when she had destroyed her old Sanctuary. She had known that this talk will come the moment she had touched his lips, and not even a century could prepare her enough for her to be able to continue hiding her feelings. No, she was out of the hiding business for good. Problem is, she didn't know exactly where she was now. But every cell in her body wanted to find out the truth, in the most physical way possible.

"Last week, before you sent me away, before you decided to confront Caleb alone, not letting me to help you, like you always do…" Nikola started.

"I wanted to protect you." Helen defended herself. "I didn't have more than one suit."

"I am a vampire, Helen. I don't die that easily."

"I wasn't willing to take the chance." She said, earning herself a desperate eye roll from her favorite vampire.

"Anyway, last week, before I left…"

"Yeeees?" Helen asked, licking her lips.

"Well you know what you did."

"I do." I dream about it every night. She thought, but decided Nikola didn't have to know that. Yet.

"What was that all about?" Nikola asked, holding his breath and Helen couldn't help smiling. This was the Nikola she loved the most. Not the arrogant one, but the sweet and unsure one. Just like when he had asked whom she would have chosen between him and Will. So unsure, so fearing and yet so sexy.

"Why do you really need to ask about something that you know for years now? You knew it way before I wanted to admit it."

"No, Helen. I hoped it, I desperately dreamed about it. But I never knew it." Nikola sighed. "You weren't too much help you know."

"British, remember?" Helen smirked.

"Like you ever let me forget that." Nikola grinned. "Anyway, I still want to hear it. What was the kiss all about?"

"Well…" Helen said, her hands cupping Nikola's face. "I thought I could give you… a glimpse of the future." Her fingers were now lightly caressing his neck, a little over his pulse point, as he couldn't help his breath stopping for a second.

"A glimpse of the future, eh? Well from what I know, a glimpse means only something incomplete, a small bit of something that is bound to be a lot bigger, so my guess is that…"

"My guess, Nikola, is that this is hardly the time for semantics." Helen said just before crushing her lips to his. This time he wasn't so surprised and he was able to respond with an equal amount of passion, as his tongue found its way inside Helen's mouth. It was then when she completely lost control. She loved him and she wanted him so much, but at that moment all her brain could register was the hunger. She was hungry to feel his taste, to feel those insanely soft lips against hers one more time, to win in the deadly duel that was happening between their tongues, but what was more important, she wanted to taste his blood. But he was way ahead of her at this one. She almost didn't feel any pain when his teeth pierced her lower lip but fully enjoyed how his mouth devoured hers afterwards, sipping every drop of her blood. But it wasn't fair this way. She thrusted her teeth into his lip too, enjoying the delicious metallic taste of his blood for a second before his wound healed. The single downside of kissing a vampire probably- she thought. But she was more than willing to overlook this tiny problem, especially when he finally decided to let her desk go and to let those naughty fingers explore her neck as she couldn't help moaning.

"Bloody hell." She said with a hasty voice as he panted hard against her neck.

"Much better when we don't have to save the world afterwards huh?" Nikola chuckled.

"I don't know. I kinda miss the thrill." Helen pouted jokingly.

"Well if it's thrill you want… I can give you that. And so much more." Nikola smirked as he pushed all her records on the floor clearing her desk.

"Nikola do you have any idea how much time I spent arranging those?" Helen shouted angrily but Nikola only threw her a devilish grin.

"The real question, Helen, is do you have any idea how much time I am going to spend asking your forgiveness for this?" He asked as he took her in his arms and laid her on the now empty desk, him standing on top of her. With a cheeky grin, he started licking her neck, letting his teeth touch her skin from time to time.

"Do you really think this is my idea of thrill, Nikola? Having a vampire toying with my neck?" she asked panting.

"Are you complaining my dear? I was under the impression you liked it."

"Oh I do." She moaned as her hands passed through his hair, making it even more ruffled than it already was.

"Nikola?" she asked while he was kissing her neck hungrily.

"Yes?"

"Is that your knee down there?"

"Not so much." Nikola grinned.

"Dear God." Helen replied, whistling admiratively.

"Well, you know how this works. Preeminent race of the planet and all." Nikola said, puckering his lips.

"Oh, I remember, Nikola. Vampire. You won't ever let me forget this will you?"

"Not after this night, ma Cherie." He whispered in her ear as she couldn't help a guttery grin. This future clearly had its benefits, especially if Nikola was involved...
