“Wow, that’s great. So does that mean you are together?”

“I don’t know what that means, we’re just taking things slow right now. I don’t want to do anything to scare her away.”

“I understand, but we have a problem”

“What kind of problem?”

Shane hesitates, then continues. “ what are you going to do about Kelly?… Bette?…Bette?”…_____

When Bette opened the door, Tina could tell by the quirking of her elegant eyebrow that her appearance had taken Bette by surprise. Bette scanned the room to make sure no one was watching her.

“Sweet…Get closer to me.” Bette murmured before lowering her hands to her sides. Suddenly she froze. “Good Lord” she rasped. Her fingers had encountered, not the fabric of Tina’s dress, but the warm suppleness of her skin. Barely moving her fingertips, she confirmed that she was indeed touching the sides of Tina’s breast.

Bette bound Tina’s eyes with hers, and without releasing Tina from that mesmerizing stare , she slipped the fingers of both hands just beneath the sides of Tina’s dress and caressed the plump outer curves of her breast.

“Jesus Christ, Tina, what are you trying to do to me. Give me a heart attack or trying to get me charged with murder?I love the dress,but darn it, I’ll be miserable the whole night. I’ll want to kill anyone I see looking at you.”

“I__I couldn’t wear a bra with it.” Tina said shakily.

“I can see that” Bette said on an unsteady breath. “Better than that I can feel it.” With a possessive arm around Tina’s shoulders she opened the door wider and invited her into the apartment. As she passed Bette,Bette lowered her head and said. “Do you have any dresses that require wearing a bra?"

Bette introduced Tina to almost every one that were there and then excused herself to go and help Kit. She was sitting by herself on the sofa when Alice joined her.

“Hey Tina”

“Hey Alice”

“I couldn’t believe it when Bette told me you were coming tonight.”

“I was surprised I said yes”

“Don’t worry, Bette has that effect on everybody…Getting them to do what she wants”

“Is that so” Tina said blushing

“I knew Bette wouldn’t give up until she had you. She doesn’t give up easily when she sees something she wants she doesn’t stop until she has it.”
