First, Last, & Forever? (Version 2.0 – Chapter 9)
Bette just kept staring at her wife in front of her, blinking back tears, completely in awe. She knew she didn’t deserve Tina, and wasn’t sure if she ever truly would again. After a few minutes of staring into each other’s eyes, and probably into each other’s souls, Bette finally broke the silence, but not their eye contact.
"Tee, I don’t want to rush this. I want to remember every minute of this night, and I don’t want it to slip away too quickly. Can we just take our time, Baby?" Bette pleaded with her softly.
Tina nodded, knowing how difficult it would be for both of them to take things slowly. She unconsciously licked her lips in anticipation of their reconnection, but quickly pulled her thoughts back to try to honor Bette’s request that they take things slowly.
"You ready for dinner yet?" Their spirits had lightened considerably, and both of their fears had begun to subside. Bette rose from her chair, and extended a hand to Tina, electricity again coursing between them as their fingers touched.
"Dinner can wait. Do you want to dance?" Bette grinned and raised an eyebrow. Tina nodded, allowing Bette to gently pull her up from her seat. They moved to the center of the room, and Bette drew Tina close to her, wrapping her arms around Tina’s waist as Tina wrapped hers around Bette’s neck, taking another opportunity to entangle her fingers in Bette’s silken hair. They moved together slowly to the saxophone that Bette dreaded, but that Tina loved so much.
Tina looked into Bette’s eyes, and moved in for a kiss. Their lips touched softly at first, but Tina playfully bit down on Bette’s lower lip. As Bette opened her mouth to protest, Tina slid her tongue inside, running it over Bette’s tongue, thoroughly exploring Bette’s mouth. Memories of this Tina, the one she had fallen in love with eight years earlier, flooded back to Bette’s mind. This was the Tina who could make Bette do anything she wanted, without complaint.
They completely forgot about the music, but continued to kiss like they hadn’t seen each other in months. And it was true in some respects. For seven of the last ten months, they had lived apart. When Tina finally came home three months ago, Angelica came with her. Yes, there had been plenty of intimate moments between them, cuddling, holding hands, playing with each other’s hair. There was soft kissing, but never much more than that, as they both knew it would take them down a dangerous path. In a sense, this was their first kiss all over again, the start of their real second chance. They both felt it, and savored every moment. They continued to kiss, moving between soft, gentle brushes of the lips, to more searching, intense kisses, to sensual licks of each others lips and tongues, to deep, intense kisses that moved them each a little closer to the other’s soul.

OMG, I think I’m first. be right back.
You snick this one in when I was commenting on the last chapter..does this mean that we will get “the chapter” soon???
Oh great, the dreaded TBC… ok, ok just because this is a great story and you are an amazing writer I’m going to have to learn how to be patient! Still, don’t make us wait too long… pleeeease? Great chappy!
Aww, Bette was mad sweet in this one. I’m glad there are so many chapters to this story already..its nice to read something long and not have to wait on updates. Next chapter is the one right? Or maybe the one after that?
damn Bette is like a kid in a candy store, pacing around wondering what to do for 10 mins or part there of. So am guessing Tina went to pump huh and you made that happen cause you are just plain evil due to the fact that you like teasing ppl!!!
Hey Steph, they just belong together, you can do it! Love your writting! PPS
It just keeps getting better and better. I love it when a plan comes together. PPS
Well that will be like a day or two rather then 9 + minutes…..right Steph…J
this was a beautiful chapter. thanks.
I can understand why this one of your favorite chapters. I had to read it twice to fully delight in and savor every word. Just beautifully written. Love the slow, however agonizing, build-up…. but to mimic Bette’s words, “I don’t think I can wait any longer.”
Tease! Mean cliffie…I love this story! Thanks Steph, it was a great read, just gettin’ better!
It was lovely the first time round..and still keeps me enthralled. Thank you!
Yeah this is torture!!! LOL
Now U really are being a tease but once again beautifully crafted, pps.
Damn that was beautiful and hot. Please post more, thanks!
tease LOL
Here I am, minding my own business, browsing the new fic stories and I come across yours…Just read it from the start and you end it here?? Thats SO not right! Love the story, look forward to your update….umm…like now would be good…
Steph!!! You left it there!?? GRRRRRR. You definately like to tease us don’t you? Okay, this line..”It wasn’t often that Bette didn’t know what to say,” was one I had to laugh at, only because it just reminded me of me. Ness has told me that its on those occassions when I’m speechless, that I actually speak volumes~ Go figure! LOL. Thanks for a fabulous update. Can’t wait to read more.
WOW!!! If that your R chapter I can not wait for the NC-17. Thanks that was wonderful PPVS
Okay, now is that 9 mins 45 seconds LWord hiatus time or real time Steph. You are killing us girl!! S-L-O-W B-U-R-N bummer!! Hope you are enjoying yourself……….pps
I love the build up of this story. There is so much for Bette and Tina to discover and rediscover about each other on their way to bed. Thank you for reposting this because I am STILL enjoying it thoroughly.
Great update, can hardly wait for more.PPS
what a tease… it would easier to have a baby than wait for ” the chapter”….sighs…pps
so sweet Thanks
Absolutely beautiful – I could see Jennifer and Laurel playing this scene with the rings, if only IC had your vision. Anyway it was awesome and then it got wonderful hot – you write so very very well. But you sure do know how to tease a reader.
That was a great chapter Steph! Love it. But have i told you lately that u r such a bad tease ;-)
Okay…so I’m behind and playing catchup, but I love this chapter so much because I’m a sappy romantic! The description of how Bette recognized the rings and the chain was so touching! Warmed the cockles of my mushy butch heart! And the slow burn is so appropriate here, as Bette gives Tina the reassurance of her love that she needs! So now, because I have waited, I can now read the other prelude to “the chapter”, which I know for sure will not disappoint! You truly know how to craft this tale in the way so many of us would have wanted to see on the show itself!
