Bette was speechless. She looked into the eyes of her life, her love, her friend and, as of late, her equal in every sense of the word. In one brief moment she saw Tina.

Seeing every layer of Tina’s being was overwhelming.

Going into this reunion Bette had been prepared for everything or at least so she thought; now, however, it was clear to her that reaching the end of the tunnel and beyond with Tina by her side would be the challenge of a life time. Staring into Tina’s eyes, taking in the sheer magnitude of the emotions that were on display in Tina’s features, the want, the need, the will and the all encompassing love send chills down Bette spine. She wanted to show Tina that she was as willing as she was able in providing everything and anything she asked for.

But as her inner alpha was deliberating how best to rise to this challenge she felt some moisture on her left cheek and she was immediately thereafter ripped back into the present as the moment of tenderness had passed and was replaced by a whole different range of emotions and sensations.

The familiar smell of Tina had reached her nostrils and she realised what was going on. Tina’s mouth was moving and Bette realised that the words that were coming out were directed at her and that they had consequences attached to their meaning.

As Bette had revelled in her own epiphany Tina had recognised the moment and swiftly moved on. She had ceased the opportunity to interpret Bette’s silence as defiance and had started touching her self quite literally in front of Bette’s eyes and the moisture Bette was woken up by, was indeed the soft flowing river of arousal from Tina.
When the realisation of her current disposition had completely kicked in, Bette began to wiggle her head furiously, partly to taste Tina and partly to get herself out of the sexy leg lock Tina had her in. But as Tina’s strength manifested itself physically, Bette had to acknowledge that gaining the upper hand so to speak was not done by brute force alone. Tina was stronger now than ever before.

So she relaxed her body and focussed on the view in front of her.
Tina was on top of her, panting, sweating and working towards the orgasm of several life times, it was in fact a win win situation. Bette was beginning to grasp the potential of this limitless sexual relationship Tina seemed hell bent on showing her that she wanted to initiate.
Bette regained her sense of adventure and the sparkle in her eye and said in her most provocative and teasing tone “and what lesson would that be”. “Would it be the lesson about how not to go home with feisty blond executives or the lesson about how to enjoy a front row seat to the best show in town” Bette’s eyes were travelling up and down Tina’s body. Tina’s left hand was caressing her breast and her right seemed to be missing a finger as she was touching herself becoming wetter by the minute. “Stay focussed Porter” Bette told her self and she reluctantly moved her eyes up and found Tina’s flushed face and glassy eyes.
Tina looked down at Bette and made her own recovery, she looked Bette straight in the eyes and said “No, it would be the lesson about how you shouldn’t fuck with me if you want to fuck me” and as her missing finger materialised in all its glistening glory it found its way to Bette’s lips and for a brief moment Tina let her finger draw a moist line on Bette’s lower lip and shortly after she put the same finger to her own mouth and slowly sucked it ever so gently.
Bette’s tongue darted out to have a taste of her magnificent lover but Tina’s hips kept swaying and thereby rendering all Bette’s efforts futile.
“I do love your tenacity my darling, but right now it is getting you into nothing but trouble” Tina said as she looked Bette straight in the eye.

It really was a battle of wills and right now Tina was fighting hard to stay in control.

As she was looking down on Bette she felt so weak. It was never far away from her mind how powerful her feelings for Bette were, but at this very moment those feelings had multiplied by infinity and it was nothing short of beautiful.
Being so close to achieving the ultimate goal of a total reconnection with Bette was bringing Tina dangerously close to sabotaging the one strategy that could ensure this reconnection. The fact of the matter was that they had to start their new life by exorcising their old demons most of which had haunted Tina because they were so physical.
The physical encounter with Bette that had followed after Tina’s discovery at “Provocations” was the central piece in a larger puzzle that had everything to do with how they were with each other then and why this evening was all about ‘rough love’.

They had never been rough with each other, which in some ways had suggested to Tina that perhaps Bette’s image of Tina was not one of an equal partner as much as it was that of someone inferior to her – weaker than her. Of course there was an big element of tenderness and respect but in retrospect it had made Tina feel like she was not a worthy opponent somehow. Not being challenged and allowed to show strength was not in her mind flattering or considerate. It was demeaning and suffocating and it had almost killed her spirit.
So now here she was challenging Bette, forcing both of their bodies to partially relive that night in order to let go of it. She wanted Bette to see that she was stronger now than she was then and, more importantly, she wanted Bette to feel stronger by seeing that strength, recognising it and forever allow that to be a part of who they were as a couple.
