Bette smiled at the sounds that had emanated from Tina. She would love to do that to her lover every night. Suddenly, she was determined. She would seek out Jodi and then come back to Tina, no doubt about it.

She dressed and gently kissed Tina’s forehead whispering a very soft, "I love you" before turning to walk out of the bed chamber.

"You’re going after her aren’t you?"

Bette froze with her hand on the door handle at the sound of Tina’s voice. She heard the blonde shift her body on the bed before looking over her shoulder. Tina was propped up against the headboard awaiting an answer.

Bette looked down at the door handle, her voice soft and low.

"I have to"

"Why didn’t you tell me?"

Bette turned her head to look back at Tina. The pain in the blonde’s voice was enough to break Bette’s heart. She sighed deeply.

"I didn’t want to worry you"

Tina raised an eyebrow, "So leaving in the middle of the night without so much as a word won’t worry me?"

"I told Shane to protect you. She would have filled you in"

Tina crossed her arms over her chest, "I would have rather heard it from you"

Bette could have laughed. Here, Tina was the one in danger and she was worried about something happening to Bette. Never the selfish one, her Tina.

Bette nodded, her eyes slowly taking in Tina’s body. The outline of that luscious body was clear through the thin sheet. Bette’s mouth watered for her lover. She needed another taste.
