Both of their stomachs dropped upon hearing Tina’s words.

Tina was shocked at her own bravery, but also nervously proud of her directness and honesty. The level of comfort she felt around Bette seemed to remove any of the artificial layers that existed in the beginnings of past relationships. There was no game playing, no second-guessing for her heart. She knew exactly what she was feeling, and was compelled to share it with the beautiful brunette.

Bette closed the gap between them as she took a step forward and fluidly reached out and took Tina’s hands in her own and replied softly with “Well then I better catch you, hadn’t I?”

Hearing these words, Tina smiled and let out a small laugh. The two women stood staring at each other, letting their hands intertwine for the first time.

Both of their hearts were racing. Playing with each other’s hands was so sensual for both women. It was so new and exciting but at the same time it felt very comfortable and very familiar, like they had been holding hands for years.

Tina closed her eyes slowly and felt her heart beating through her chest. She took Bette’s right hand and raised it to her left chest, smoothing it out so it lay flat against her skin. “Do you feel that Bette?” she whispered, still with eyes closed. “My heart hasn’t raced like this for years, I fear it’s going to leap out of my chest.”

And then suddenly Tina felt the most amazingly sensual surprise she had ever in her life felt – she suddenly felt Bette’s lips pressed gently against her heart, right above her bikini top.

Tina let out a slow moan as Bette did this, and she opened her eyes. Bette held the kiss for seemingly an eternity before raising her head. She then held Tina’s chin in her hand and whispered “Please open your eyes for me.” Tina’s legs were shaking, the moment almost too intense for her to handle. She had been lost in complete raw pleasure. But she slowly did as Bette had asked and opened her eyes only to find Bette’s wide, sexy smile just a few inches from her face.

Tina looked at the woman who had captivated her every thought and desire and heard Bette utter the words “What I was going to ask you in the spa, I will ask you again without interruption this time…Would it be ok if I tasted your lips?”
