Finally both women met poolside. Both had found the resolve to come out from behind safe doors and head off in search of the other.

It was Bette who broke the quiet air first. “You look incredible Tina” she said slowly, as she washed her eyes over Tina’s full body, taking in every perfect curve. “That’s funny, I was about to use the exact words on you” Tina replied. In fact, it was a good thing for Tina that Bette did speak first, because at the sight of Bette standing before her in her white bikini, showing her incredibly toned body had rendered Tina in a momentary trance.

The silence between them resumed, as each woman simply stared at the other. It wasn’t an uncomfortable silence; it was more a moment of pure anticipation of what the future, both immediate and otherwise, held for these newly connected souls.

Finally breaking through the quiet, Tina asked softly “Do you have any sunscreen by chance?” Bette replied with a quick “Yes of course, it’s inside…I’ll be right back with it. Make yourself comfortable.”

Tina did just that. She found a chaise lounger that looked incredibly inviting and sat herself on it, stretching out her body. She exhaled deeply as she realized the sun’s warm rays.

Then she felt a shadow, only to look up at Bette standing above her as she heard her “Can I have the honours?”

And answering with only a smile, Tina instinctively sat up and offered her back to Bette.

Her hands felt amazing on Tina’s skin. It was suddenly like the moment they had created in the spa had never ended as Bette’s strong hands covered Tina’s bare skin once again, this time lathering her in cool oil.

Tina closed her eyes to enjoy the moment. She felt so good, thanks entirely to Bette and the day they were sharing. She focused on how perfectly Bette touched her, with the exact amount of pressure and speed and she let her mind wander to her thoughts on how Bette must be an incredible lover – so attentive, so thorough, so determined.

“You’re good to go Tina” offered Bette, as Tina rose to a standing position and turned to face her.

“Bette, I know this may sound crazy, but I think that I am falling for you”
