“I have felt so much peace since the funeral, T. I needed to say good-bye. Really say good-bye.”

Tina replied, “Your tribute to her was beautiful.”

“And it allowed me to close the door on that part of my life. I feel freer.”

“You seem lighter. Happier.”

Bette nodded. “I am. But that’s not why I was telling you this. My point was…it took me a long time to get comfortable being out. Being confident in myself. So, if I had met you in college, I don’t know that I would have ever approached you. Even if I hadn’t been with Sidney. I don’t know that I would have felt confident enough to approach you.”

Tina smiled slyly at her. “Who says I wouldn’t have approached you?”

Bette chuckled. “Well…that’s a different story. I would not have been able to resist.”

Tina kissed her. “Very wise. That was the right answer.”

“I’m not a fool Tina. Loving you is always the right answer.”

Tina grinned. “I love you, Bette.”

“I love you, too.”

“What do you want to do today?” asked Tina.

Bette’s eyes shot upward, as though she was deep in thought. “Maybe…eat a second meal.”

“You haven’t even finished your first meal. You’re already thinking about lunch?”

Bette shook her head. “No. I’m talking about you as my second meal. I’m still hungry, Tina.”

Tina was instantly aroused and she closed her eyes. “God. You are way too fucking sexy. I don’t know what I’m going to do with you.”

“Just love me. And let me love you.”

Bette pulled Tina closer, nearly into her lap. Her hands slipped under her lover’s t-shirt and found the already hardened nipples. She kissed her lover with the strength to convey her hunger. Tina gripped the sides of Bette’s face, holding her close as she sucked her fiancé’s tongue.

Bette’s hands let go of the heavy breasts in her hands and tugged at her lover’s pajama bottoms. Tina wiggled, helping Bette remove them. And then the brunette slipped down to the floor, spreading her lover’s legs. The pleasant aroma of Tina’s desire greeted her and tickled her tastebuds. She moved her girlfriend’s hips until the moistened sex met her mouth.

The naked lips were smooth and wet and she licked them, tasting her lover’s honey.

“Fuck,” Tina whispered.

Bette’s tongue eased inside her lover’s lips, tasting the delicate petals of the wet rose. There was something soothing about having the essence of her lover’s desire coating her tongue. Tina’s head was thrown back, her hands massaging her needy breasts, tweaking the nipples.

Her talented lover hit a sweet spot and Tina began to see stars.

“Oh my God,” she moaned.

She moved her hips, holding Bette’s head in place, fucking the talented tongue as she chased the pinnacle of pleasure.

“Yes, yes, yes!” she moaned.

That tongue was magical. It tasted and teased. Moved in circles and jagged lines. Slid into her and out of her. And then it began to vibrate, driving Tina to climax as the silken liquid slipped into Bette’s eager mouth.

“Fuck!” Tina yelled when the orgasm blew through her. She seemed to collapse in the chair, losing all semblance of muscle control.

Bette licked her clean and then dressed her once again in the pajama bottoms.

She held onto Tina, guiding her back to bed. Once there, she stripped them both down and gathered the wilted woman into her arms, kissing her forehead and caressing her tenderly.

“How did you do that?” asked Tina, her eyes closed.

“Do what?” asked Bette.

“You didn’t have to prove anything to me, you know.”

Bette chuckled. “I wasn’t proving anything. I just love tasting you.”

“Babe, your tongue fucking vibrated. Are you a cyborg? What the fuck?” Tina whispered, her head resting on Bette’s naked chest.

Bette laughed again. “I am not a cyborg. And that’s a trade secret. I can’t tell you that.”

“Advanced placement fucking. I wasn’t ready,” said Tina.

“What? Advanced placement?”

“Yes. Upper levels. God…my body is still spent. I can still feel your tongue,” said Tina.

Bette gently stroked her lover’s hair. “Go to sleep, T. I’ve got you.”

“Good. I am completely out of it,” said Tina.

“I love you, Baby,” said Bette.

“Love you too. Fucking sex PhD,” she mumbled, before sleep quickly claimed her.
