RUNNING ON SUNSHINE

CHAPTER 3

Bette woke up feeling like she had slept for about a month – wow – she felt relaxed and very good. Beside her Tina was still asleep which gave Bette time to take in her surroundings. Tina’s house was gorgeous and Bette totally admired her style which was modern with a nice hint of an acknowledgement to the 1920’s build of the house. The bedroom was more than a bedroom – the room was large which allowed for a couple of comfortable arm chairs as well as the fireplace and the massive TV. Bette loved the massive beams that made the roof seem even higher – this was a great house. And what made it extra special was the fact that Bette would now be living there with her new wife. Wife – they both had to say that word again and again because it was new to them.
Whatever Bette had expected when she had sold her wildly successful gallery in San Francisco and taken herself off on a round the world exploration she had not expected to return to America with a wife. What had she expected? To find answers to what she wanted to do with her life – well she had made decisions about what she didn’t want. She hated the world of modern art and after over decade she had reached the point when she could walk away and never return. Art had been her passion for so long but like a love affair that had turned sour she had fallen out of love with art and the people who infested that world.
Touring the world had opened her eyes to so much and she had filled pages of her journal with her thoughts and possibilities for the future. One of the things she had decided she wanted to devote more of herself to was finding a partner. She just hadn’t expected to find that woman in a café in Cagliari – a woman who she thought had dropped out of heaven – her own version of heaven. Yes what they had done would be seen as crazy and the next few weeks and months would be tough but she knew that they loved one another. She felt things for Tina that she had never felt before – they had talked so much and in such depth that she felt she knew so much while knowing there was a lot still to learn – it was a fascinating and awesome mixture.
Craving coffee Bette got up and put on Tina’s white robe and went exploring downstairs. The kitchen was lovely with light pine cupboards and drawers. Next to the kitchen was a table and chair set that had views across the back garden. Bette was not much of a gardener so she appreciated anyone who could keep anything green alive. And the back garden was a nice mix of plants, shrubs and water features. It had been late when Tina had dragged her into the back garden and she had promised to give her a fuller tour when they were both more awake. So for now Bette had to just admire the garden from the kitchen doors – she didn’t even know where the key to open the patio doors were.
She smiled at turned her attention to making some coffee – it took her a few minutes to find the mugs which were in a cabinet during which time the kettle had boiled and she was able to add the half teaspoon of brown sugar to Tina’s coffee and a splash of milk.
When she got back upstairs Tina was sitting up and stretching her arms out
“Coffee?”
“Hey yes please “
“Good morning by the way”
Bette put Tina’s coffee on the table at her side of the bed and walked round to her side.
“You okay?”
“I woke up and I had no idea what country I was in -regardless of the fact that I was actually sleeping in my own bed”
“It is going to take some getting used to “Bette agreed removing Tina’s robe and climbing into bed. Tina looked at Bette – God this woman was just so beautiful and with a heart as kind as anyone else she had ever known.
“How did you sleep in your new bed?”
“I think you and I could have slept on a bed of nails last night”
Tina nodded “True – if this bed isn’t comfortable – just say so and we will buy a new one”
“Babe – it’s okay”
“No – this is our home now – I need to know that you are at ease “
“We haven’t been in the country 24 hours yet – it’s going to take some time”
“I know but I don’t want you to feel that you cannot say something”
“I think communication is something that you and I are good at”
“Communication and sex “
Bette grinned “Communication and sex – I think it’s a pretty good basis for a marriage “
Tina looked at the ring on her left hand “It is amazing to know that I am your wife”
Bette sipped her coffee – still too hot. She lay down and looked up at the blonde.
“I am very proud that I am your wife “
Tina straddled Bette and looked down at her
“You are so goddam hot “
“So are you “
Tina lent forward and kissed Bette on the lips. The kiss was slow and deliberate and delicious. Bette pulled Tina closer and wrapped her arms around her. They kissed for several minutes before either of them moved to do anything other than kiss. Bette squeezed Tina’s ass causing the blonde to grind her hips against Bette’s. Tina wanted sex – she wanted Bette to deep inside of her and she wanted to be deep inside of her partner. The kissing became more demanding – their mouths open and their tongues probing deep inside the other woman’s mouth. Tina pressed her leg between Bette’s and she opened her legs to allow Tina to press her thigh against Bette’s core. Tina heard Bette gasp as Tina started to press her leg hard against Bette who reacted by moving her hips upwards. It didn’t take long before Tina had made Bette come against her leg. She looked at Bette whose face had gone red
“Fuck”
“I want you so much “Tina said “So much”
“More – I want you “
“Open your lips “
Bette grinned – one of their favourite positions was rubbing their clits together – the only problem and it wasn’t really a problem was which one of them would take the top. Bette decided that being married was about compromise.
“Do you want to be on top?”
Tina grinned “God yes “
“My turn on top next time we fuck this way”
“Noted “Tina’s smile just lit her face up and Bette loved to see that look on her face.
Tina sucked Bette’s boobs – rolling her tongue over the hardening nipples and taking tiny bites of the soft flesh that drove her so wild.
“Tina – oh Tina “
Bette was caressing Tina’s ass as Tina bite down on Bette’s breasts – both of them wet and getting wetter by the second. Tina lifted her head from Bette’s breasts when she couldn’t wait any longer to feel the mind-blowing sensation of her clit touching Bette’s. Their eyes met in agreement – they both wanted to start fucking the other woman. Bette opened herself giving Tina a sight of that tiny nub she so craved. Tina opened herself and lowered herself down and took a deep breath before placing her clit against Bette’s
“Oh fucking god “she gasped
“So good “Bette managed to say
Tina looked at Bette – she could see the desire and need in her dark eyes.
“I love you “Tina said quietly to her wife. Bette smiled as she looked up at Tina
“I love you too “
Tina eased back and pushed herself forward starting to rub their clits together.
“Fuck “Bette managed to say as Tina moved back and forward with slow deliberation. There was no doubt that the blonde was totally in control – she was taking her weight on her arms as she thrust back and forth. Bette grabbed the metal headboard of the bed as Tina gradually started to move faster. The blonde could feel her own orgasm approaching making her move faster until she came hard
“Oh fuck “she cried out stopping as she surrendered to her orgasm. Bette opened her eyes and looked at Tina – she loved seeing Tina come like this – she loved how red she went and she could never get tired of seeing her in her most ultimate private moment – moments she had chosen to share with Bette Porter.
When Tina recovered enough she started again – she wanted to come again and she wanted to make Bette come. She started slow again – she was determined to drive Bette higher and higher to her orgasm. Tina gritted her teeth as she pressed hard against Bette – her reward came suddenly when the brunette screamed as she came. Tina didn’t stop as Bette’s orgasm overtook her – Tina was so close to her own release and was moving faster against Bette’s clit. She came a few minutes after Bette causing her to stop while they both recovered.
Bette took hold of Tina and pulled her closer so they could kiss
“Dear God you are the best “Bette said softly
Tina smiled “It’s easy to be good when you are as awesome as you are. I love you”
Bette stroked Tina’s hair which was damp with sweat
“You are wonderful “Bette said
“So are you – and I am really happy with you “
