Tina: Oh, Bette… I can’t take anymore right now. I’m sweating.

Bette: Relax T…. I’ve got you. It’s not bad and you just relax and enjoy your afterglow. If you need to sleep, then sleep. I’m right here and I’m not going anywhere. When you wake, there is some water on your night stand. You do need to drink that. Now, have you cooled down enough for me to hold you?

Tina:  Yes, please. Shit… Bette. That was unbelievably good. I just need to close my eyes for a minute. I love you so much Bette.

Bette: Yes, you do. Just do that and relax and I will talk to you when you wake up.

Tina was asleep before Bette finished her sentence. Bette smiled. She enjoyed nights like this with Tina. Tina’s complete surrender was always brought her such joy. Bette then made herself comfortable, and put her arm over Tina’s waist and relaxed into sleep as well.

Tina awakened some 6 hours later. She was thirsty. She turned over to her night stand and saw the water Bette had left for her on night stand. The light from the bathroom gave her just enough light to see it and the lamp. She looked at Bette. She was on her belly and face the other side of the bed with the sheet barely covering her butt. Bette’s back was muscular. The hours of swimming had kept it and her arms toned. Bette’s hair was shorter these days than it had been during most of their life together. But her face had an innocence and an angelic quality when she slept. Her long legs and arms which propelled her through the water laying on the bed as if she were about to take another stroke in the water. Tina loved just staring at Bette as she slept. After Tina finished her water then she went to the bathroom to pee and then returned to the bed.

Tina eased herself into the bed and scooted to Bette and she gently snuggled against her warm body. She then began to kiss her shoulder and rub her back. Bette began to awaken.

Bette: T?  Do you want a little more attention?

Tina: I am wanting to kiss you. You are a wonderful lover, Bette. I can’t imagine anyone could be any better.
