Tina released a breath she didn’t know she was holding. Her heartbeats were pounding loudly in her ears. The two women breathed in the scent of the amber liquid. Tina glanced at Bette’s mouth and looked her in the eye before glancing back at Bette’s mouth, her lips wet. She cupped the back of Bette’s head before whispering, “Come here.”

Chapter 14

The two women inched closer, their mouths a hair’s breath away from touching before the ringing of Bette’s cell phone interrupted the moment.

“Let it go to voice mail,” Tina ordered before capturing Bette’s mouth, devouring it hungrily.

The ring cellphone was forgotten as Bette returned the kiss with equal fervor. She pushed Tina against the window. Bette pressed her hand against the window near Tina’s head, the heat from her palm left a print on the glass as she cupped Tina’s jaw.

Tina pressed herself against the brunette. Her nipples hardened as soon as it came in contact with Bette.

“God,” she moaned against Bette’s mouth.

Bette captured Tina’s bottom lip and tugged gently. Her hands sneaked underneath the pajama top, caressing the toned waist. She hiked the top and dragged it over her head, tossing it toward the couch. She latched her mouth to the base of the blonde’s throat, her tongue darting to taste the triangle area near the pulse point.

“God, I want you,” Bette rasped.

Tina roamed her hands over Bette’s body. Their mouths met again. Their tongues tangled with need.

“Let’s go to the bedroom. I don’t want Kit to hear us.” Tina whispered.

Hearing her sister’s name was like water dousing the flames she was feeling. “Shit,” Bette groaned. “I can’t do this here. I mean, I want to…believe me…I want to, but Kit’s in the other room and remembering how you are, you can be…um…very vocal and the way I want you…” Bette placed her forehead against Tina’s forehead. “It’s going to feel awkward with her in the other bedroom with her hearing…us.”  Bette gave Tina a kiss.

Tina tried to control her breathing and the throbbing she was feeling. Bette was right. Their first time shouldn’t be rushed and it shouldn’t be with Kit in the other room. “It’s okay…really. Just give me a minute to calm down.” She took Bette’s hand in hers and kissed it. “Let me get my shirt.” Tina walked over to the couch and slipped top back on. She sat on the couch and patted the seat next to her. “Lay with me. I just want to hold you.” Tina adjusted the cushions and placed one at one end of the couch. She lay down on the couch and waited for Bette to join her.
