Chapter 60

Bette held Tina tightly as they watched the two nameless, faceless women in their yard. They watched as one of the women put her arms around the other from behind and held her tight. The woman who was being held turned her head slightly and whispered something to the other woman. She then pointed up into the sky – very clearly zeroing in on the brightest star floating above them in the darkness.

The woman who was standing behind the other one took her hands and found those of her lover. She lifted their arms into the air above their heads – their fingers intertwined. She nuzzled her face in her lovers hair. She whispered something in her ear. Bette and Tina could see how the woman she held trembled – whatever she said obviously had an effect on her. Her knees appeared to go weak. But the other woman held her – not letting her fall – not letting her go. She spun her lover around so that they were now face to face. They stared into each others eyes. It was as if they were studying one another – to see if there was something they didn’t already know. They looked at each other for a long time – never breaking their gaze – never appearing to become bored – neither one seemingly able to avert her gaze. They leaned toward each other at the same time. Their lips met – they shared a passionate kiss. They broke free from one another and then both parted their lips and leaned in again for another kiss.

The two women slowly made their way over to a blanket they had spread out on the lawn. The woman who had been behind the other motioned for her lover to lay down. Her lover obliged – without the slightest hesitation. They laid on the blanket and stared up into the sky. Their bodies were touching one another – and they held hands as they continued to look into the heavens.

The woman who had been standing behind rolled up on her side and then on top of her lover. She held her body up with her arms – they were strong arms. She leaned down and kissed her lover and then began kissing her way down her neck. Her kisses were gentle. There was a warmth – a bond – between these two women that was undeniable. She continued to kiss her way down her lovers body. When her mouth reached her ***** – she paid close attention to each of them. She sucked, licked and teased her nipples. Her lover tossed her head from side to side – obviously caught up in the moment of her desire. She squeezed one breast with her hand – while worshipping the other with her mouth. Both women trembled with desire. She continued to kiss down her lovers body. She traced figure eights across her lovers tummy with her tongue. Her lovers hips rose off the blanket. She skillfully used her tongue to spread her lovers wetness. She stopped and looked up at her lover – she whispered something – something that was meant only for her lovers ears. She then moved her head back down and began making love to her with her mouth. Her lovers hips rose to meet her mouth repeatedly – her lovers hips now moving involuntarily up and down as her passion and desire increased.

She stopped and moved her body on top of her lover. She made sure that her own wetness caressed her lovers as she thrust slowly into her over and over again. Both of their backs arched as their orgasms overtook them. Their bodies crashed together. They both appeared to begin sobbing – their bodies wracked with tears. They didn’t appear to say a word to each other – they just held each other tight for a very long time. Their bodies rolled apart and then came to rest next to one another again. They held hands as they continued to gaze at the stars.

Bette squeezed Tina from behind. “Was it terrible of us to watch them?”

Tina whispered back to Bette. “No…no…”

“That was beautiful Baby…wasn’t it?” Bette felt tears welling in her eyes.

Tina broke free from Bette’s embrace. She turned and looked into Bette’s eyes. Her eyes were filled with tears as well. Tina stumbled on her words as she spoke. “Babe…I think the General is going on leave for a little while…there’s a civilian here who is dying to make love to you. Is it ok if the General takes a leave?” Tina leaned forward and kissed Bette.

When Bette opened her eyes -all she could manage to say was, “A leave is fine…fine…”

Faint music played in the background as Bette and Tina and the lovers on the lawn continued to hold one another.

EVERYTIME

Come notice me
And take my hand
So why are we
Strangers when
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me?

And everytime I try to fly
I fall
without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face,
it’s haunting me
I guess I need you baby

I make believe
That you are here
It’s the only way
I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy

And everytime I try to fly
I fall
without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face,
you’re haunting me
I guess I need you baby

I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song is my sorry

Ohhhh

At night I pray
That soon your face
Will fade away

And everytime I try to fly
I fall
without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face,
you’re haunting me
I guess I need you baby

After all…
After all…
