Bette sat there quietly looking at Tina wondering how she was going to make love to Tina knowing that there was a possibility that it could be the last time she would ever be able to touch her, to run her hands over Tinas soft skin and to kiss her. The thought of it made her heart ache and indecision filled her mind. She asked her self how she could make love to her and just let her go and she realized that she couldnt, at least not without showing Tina how much she loved her. She decided that she would make love to Tina but it would be on her terms. Bette started to move slowly over towards Tina and as she leaned in to kiss Tina she stopped mere inches from Tinas lips.

I will make love to you Bette said softly. But I need to tell you something and I have a few stipulations.

What stipulations? Tina asked as she looked at Bettes lips wishing they would touch her own.

I want all of tonight not just once. Bette whispered. We abide my rules. Times and locations can be decided on mutually or individually. Can you live with that?

Yes Tina said softly as she leaned in closer to Bette.

Oh and Tina I am giving you fair warning that I am going to do everything in my power to show you that I love you and I never want to let you go Bette said her voice full of emotion as she touched her lips to Tinas and pulled Tina in to her arms.

Bette kissed Tina tenderly at first savoring the feel of Tinas lips on hers before sliding her tongue in to Tinas mouth. When Bette felt the tip of Tinas tongue touch hers her passion flared and she began to devour Tinas mouth, their tongues taking turns exploring each others mouths and sometimes meeting somewhere in the middle to entwine and dance. The kiss went on for several minutes, neither of them wanting to break the kiss, but a necessity for air dictated that they break apart. Bette leaned her forehead against Tinas as she tried to regulate her breathing. When she caught her breath she got up from the sofa and held out her hand to Tina. Tina placed her hand in Bettes and Bette pulled her up from the sofa and they walked towards one of the bedrooms. As they neared the entrance to the bedroom Bette stopped and turned to Tina and gently kissed her lips.

Last chance to change your mind Bette said. Once you are in there Bette said pointing her head towards the bedroom. You are all mine for tonight Bette said and then added very softly and forever if you will allow it.

Tina looked in to Bettes eyes and pulled her hand from Bettes. For one second Bette thought that Tina had changed her mind but Tina quickly wiped that thought from Bettes mind as she reached up and placed her hands on each side of Bettes face and pulled her in for a searing kiss. The kiss only lasted for a few seconds before Tina pulled back.

I am not going to change my mind Tina said looking in to Bettes eyes. I told you this is what I want.

Bette took Tinas hand and led her in to the bedroom and over towards the bed. She pulled Tina into her arms and kissed her gently on the lips and then trailed kissed across her face until her mouth was near Tinas ear.

Just remember T Bette whispered as she licked at Tinas ear. You have to abide by my rules.

Bette pulled away from Tina and began to undress her. The first article of clothing to go was Tinas t-shirt. Once it was removed Bette placed gentle kisses on the skin she had exposed. She started with tiny kisses on each of her shoulders and she moved downward to the part of Tinas ***** not covered by her bra and finally lower still until she was placing kisses on Tinas stomach. Bette was now kneeling in front of Tina her hands working on the button of Tinas jeans while Tinas hands were caressing Bettes shoulders. Bette managed to unbutton Tinas jeans and slowly pull them down her legs while she began to kiss Tinas stomach again but lower this time but carefully avoiding the most intimate part of Tina. Tina stepped out of her jeans as Bette pushed them past her ankles and then her feet. Bette kissed her way back up Tinas body until she reached Tinas *****. She gently kneaded Tinas ***** and then not satisfied with touching her through her bra reached around her to unhook her bra and remove it. Bette reached out to touch Tinas naked breast, but before she could Tina pulled slightly away from Bette and slid her hands up under Bettes shirt and started to move her hands upward to try and remove it.

Babe Tina said softly. You are over dressed.

I am? Bette asked softly teasing Tina and removing her shirt slowly. Is that better?

I want more Tina replied as she reached out to try and unbutton Bettes slacks.

Bette intercepted Tinas hand and placed it on her waist as she moved to undo the button on her slacks her self and then she quickly removed them. Bette leaned in and kissed Tina passionately while she was pushing Tina backwards trying to find the bed. When Tina felt the back of her legs touch the bed, Tina pulled away from Bettes kiss long enough to crawl on to the bed and pull Bette on to the bed with her. They were side by side as they resumed their passionate kiss and their hands were roaming each others bodies. Tina reached down to try and touch Bette intimately and Bette intercepted her hand and locked her fingers with Tinas and pushed upwards as she moved her body so that she was partially laying on Tina and their locked hands were up by Tinas head. Bette slowed the kiss to a gentle teasing before finally pulling her head away.

T this time is only about you, for you Bette said softly. I want to gently tease you, I want to look at you and how beautiful you are in all your naked glory especially flushed with desire for me. I want to watch as that desire overtakes you and you reach your peak. I want to see the ecstasy on your face. I want that memory.

Bette I Tina started to say but Bette cut her words off with a soft kiss.

Bette began an assault on Tinas body. Placing gentle kisses up and down her body but never lingering too long in one place. After each kiss she whispered something that she loved about Tina. I love the way your body responds to mine kiss, I love the way your skin feels against my mouth and hands kiss, I love the way that your smile can brighten my day kiss, I love it when you call me babe kiss, I love to watch you sleeping kiss, I love the little things that you do for me that make my life so much better kiss, I love that you are such a tender and caring person kiss, I love that you put up with my bitchiness kiss, I love the way you love me kiss, and most importantly I love you. I am totally, hopelessly in love with you.

Tinas eyes had filled with tears as Bette had begun her string of loving comments but it wasnt until Bettes last words that her tears spilled down her cheeks. Bette had been watching her and she reached up and gently wiped away Tinas tears and then moved up and kissed Tina passionately. Bette made love to Tina, touching and kissing all of the places that she knew would spark Tinas desire. Every time that Tina tried to return the favor Bette stilled her hand and told her this time wasnt about her. Bette had been driving Tina crazy, always drawing back when she knew that Tina was close to her release, trying to make this time together last. She finally relented and gave Tina what she desperately desired when Tina cried out passionately God, babe you are driving me insane. Bette watched every flash of emotion that crossed Tinas face as her release overtook her and as Tina tried to reconnect with reality Bette kept saying I love you.

They lay in each others arms afterwards neither of them saying anything but enjoying the fact that they were holding each other. Tina drifted off to sleep but Bette was too keyed up to sleep. She gently shifted so that she could watch her lover sleep. She loved watching Tina sleep. She let Tina sleep for a little while before she woke her up with a kiss.

Time to get up sleepyhead Bette said.

What time is it? Tina asked as she rubbed her eyes.

I have no idea Bette said. But it is time to raid the kitchen and afterwards, well lets just say I have a plan.

Oh does this plan include me? Tina asked coyly.

Most definitely Bette said sexily. Now get your ***** butt out of bed and lets go to the kitchen because I am starving.

They made their way in to the kitchen and found some food to snack on. They were really just enjoying being together. They both knew in the back of their minds what tomorrow might bring but for now they were taking these shared moments together. Bette left Tina in the kitchen with a promise to return. She went to the bedroom and got a few things from her overnight case and headed to the bathroom where she ran a hot bubble bath in the large whirlpool tub before returning to the kitchen to find Tina. She greeted Tina with a passionate kiss.

Come with me Bette mumbled as she kissed Tina.

Bette broke the kiss and took Tinas hand and led her to the bathroom. Tina was delighted with the sight that greeted her. She reached in to the tub to test the water and she knew the warm bubble bath would feel heavenly. She started to get in but Bette stopped her.

Wait Bette said. I want to put your hair up. I want to be able to kiss the back of your neck.

Tina felt desire pool in her stomach at the thought of Bette kissing the back of her neck. She moved so that Bette could reach her to put her hair up. Bette took the hairbrush she had placed on the counter and she gently brushed Tinas hair and pulled it up and put a clip in place to hold it on the back of her head.

My turn Tina said taking the hairbrush away from Bette.

Tina took her time and gently brushed Bettes hair. She loved the feel of Bettes hair in her hands. When she finally had pulled it up and had it fastened in place she gently kissed the back of Bettes neck which resulted in Bette turning around and kissing Tina passionately. They broke the kiss and climbed in to the warm bubble bath. Bette positioned them so that she was sitting behind Tina and Tina was lying back against her. Bette was content at first to just let the warm water relax them but with every small movement that Tina made she became aroused. She began to kiss and lick at the back of Tinas neck which caused Tina to shiver despite being in the warm water. Bette noticed Tinas reaction and began to trail kisses down her shoulders and arms as her hands began to touch, caress and knead Tinas *****. Tina reveled in the feel of Bette touching her but she soon became discontented with the situation. She wanted to touch Bette, to kiss her and to make love to her. She shifted in the tub so that she could pull Bette towards the center of the tub and then moved so that her legs straddled Bette. She began to kiss Bette licking at her lips, sliding her tongue in and out of Bettes mouth. They sat there kissing each other deeply for a long time before they broke apart. It was as if they were trying to drink their fill of each others mouths just in case this was their last time together. They started to kiss passionately with a sense of desperation as they reached to touch each other intimately and began to stroke each other with a rhythm that soon had them reaching *****. Afterwards they sat there holding each other tightly. Neither of them said a word but they had tears in their eyes. They reluctantly pulled back from one another and as they did Bette reached over and gently kissed Tina.

I love you Bette said. No matter what tomorrow brings, I will always love you.

Tina fought to control her emotions after hearing Bettes words of love. She quickly got up and got out of the tub, grabbed a towel and left the bathroom without bothering to rinse off the soap from the bubble bath. Bette got out of the tub and quickly dried off and went in search of Tina. She found her lying on the bed crying, in the room where she had made love to her several hours ago. She went over and lay down on the bed next to Tina and reached out to wipe away her tears.

Im sorry I upset you Bette said softly. I was just being honest about what I feel.

I know that Bette Tina said. This is just hard.

Bette hated that she was hurting Tina more than she already had and she felt her self trying to tear up. To keep from showing her tears to Tina she got up from the bed and started to pull back the covers on the bed. Tina realized what she was doing and got up and pulled back the covers on her side of the bed and then crawled back in to the bed and pulled the covers over her while Bette did the same. Bette reached over to Tina showing her that she wanted her to move closer and she wanted her to lie in her arms. They lay there for a long while just holding each other and occasionally running their hand up and down each others arm before they fell asleep.

In the early morning hours just before day break Bette laid there listening to Tina breathe. She had slept for a long while but she had woken up with a cramp in her arm from Tina lying on it. She had gingerly pulled her arm from underneath Tina trying to relieve the pain she was feeling. Bette knew that with the morning sun that the night with Tina would be over so she reached over and gently began to kiss Tina awake. Tina responded to Bettes kiss thinking she was dreaming at first, but becoming fully awake at the feel of Bette tongue slipping in to her mouth. The moment that Bette realized that Tina was fully awake she began to make love to Tina with everything she had within her and Tina did the same. They were both crying and they were desperate to touch each other, to kiss each other and to make love to each other. They made passionate love several times before exhaustion overtook them and they fell back asleep.

When Bette woke up several hours later she looked over to Tinas side of the bed only to find it empty. She got up and put on her robe and went in search of Tina. She walked through the cabin but saw no sign of Tina and for one moment she felt a sense of panic that maybe Tina had left. She thought about it and realized that there was no way that Tina could have left because they were in the mountains in a cabin. She went to the front of the cabin and opened the front door and there she found Tina sitting on the front porch in her robe. Tina had a cup of coffee in her hand and she was staring off in to space. As Bette approached her she saw that Tina had been crying and as Tina realized that Bette was standing there she wiped at her tears. Bette wanted to go to Tina and touch her but she didnt think she would be welcomed.

Bette Tina said softly. Thank you for last night. No matter what happens now, I will always have last night.
