Now six weeks later Tina was ensconced in a new relationship with Henry and his five year old son Mikey. She knew it was going to take more than sleeping with Henry to get any closer to her answers which is why she’d so readily agreed to date him. She had to validate what it was about the hetero lifestyle that suddenly had so much appeal.

Tina and Henry were now dating exclusively and things were going well for the new couple. Mikey and Tina loved spending time together and he loved the attention. His mother was remarried and they had two other children so when he was with his mom, he didn’t get the undivided attention that he got from Henry and Tina.

Henry didn’t hesitate to introduce Tina to his sister and her family and their friends. Whenever Tina and Henry went out with Mikey people would assume she was the mother and comment on what an attractive family they made. She loved taking on the mother role with Mikey and wondered why she was so apprehensive about starting a family with Bette.

Tina and Henry had a heart to heart talk after their first sexual encounter. He confronted her about using him sexually in a way that he didn’t deserve. She apologized for her insensitivity towards him, and found that once she let herself go, sex with Henry was very gratifying. It was a bit of an ego boost for him when he managed to bring forth the moans and screams by which he measured a woman’s pleasure during lovemaking. Henry was a good, attentive and considerate lover. He wanted their sex life to be good for both of them and once Tina stopped orchestrating their love making and let nature take it’s course they found they were very compatible in bed.

Henry accepted Tina’s declaration that “it will never be as good for me with anyone else as it was with Bette” not as criticism but as fact. He’d made a mistake of thinking that he could compete sexually with Bette if he employed some of the lesbian lovemaking techniques that he’d seen in girl on girl adult porn not realizing that their first time together not being as fulfilling as it could had little to do with his skills as a lover but everything to do with the emotional connection that was lacking. Henry didn’t delude himself into believing that Tina was over Bette so quickly regardless of what she said, but for now he was happy that he was who she had chosen to be with.
