Bette spooned some ice cream and held the spoon near Tina’s mouth. “Ahh.”

The blonde complied and opened her mouth for Bette to spoon in the ice cream.

She wrapped her lips around the spoon. “Mmmm.”

Bette pulled the spoon from Tina’s mouth. “Good, right?”

Bette looked so hopeful in wanting her to like the concoction that she nodded her head and agreed. “It’s good.” She gave Bette a smile.

“See, I told you so.” Bette returned Tina’s smile and continued eating the concoction, until she spooned the last of the ice in her mouth.

Tina stood and tossed whatever cone was left into the trash bin a few feet away.  She pulled Bette to her feet and they entwined fingers. “Come on,” she said as she stepped closer to Bette, “let’s walk off the ice cream.”

The two women walked with their pinkies linked. Once in a while getting stares along the way from the few people, who disapproved of same-sex relationships, but mostly got stares from people who saw then as a striking couple.

“What do you want to do now?” Bette asked, stopping at the end of the driveway and pulling Tina to her for a quick kiss.

“I thought maybe I can finally start that grant I need to work on.”

“Do you need help? I have a lot of experience in grant writing.”

“I can show you my notes and then I need to look over a script that Alex sent me.”

“Alex? Alex George from Alphaville?”

“Yes, I’ve been doing freelance work for him.” Tina tugged Bette’s hand and they walked to the house. “Did you have anything in mind?’’ They entered the house.

“Well,” Bette stopped in the hallway. “I thought maybe we could do the ‘whatever you want.’”

“I’ll race you upstairs.” Tina ran ahead of Bette, stripping off her clothes as she made her way to her room.

Bette chuckled and ran after her as she too began to undress. She was only clothed in her bra and panty when she reached the doorway of the bedroom.

Tina stood naked in the middle of the room. Her eyes were dark with want, her chest heaving. “Is this what you had in mind?” she asked.

“This is definitely what I had in mind.” Bette stepped inside the bedroom. She walked to the naked blonde and stood in front of her. She cupped the back of Tina’s head and brought her mouth down to hers. They moaned into each other’s mouth. “Come on,” Bette stepped away led Tina to the en suite. “I want to have nice leisurely bath with you.”

“A bath…now?” Tina asked, not believing Bette wanted to bathe. “A bath?”

“I want to make love you here and then I want to make love to you there.” Bette glanced to the bed. Bette turned on the faucet and let the large tub will with water. The lavender scented liquid that Tina had poured were starting to bubble. She stood in front of Tina and again brought her mouth do to Tina’s.

They kissed sensually, languidly… each feeling the texture of each other’s mouth. Tina placed her hands on Bette’s hips and slowly reached up to unclasp the hooks on Bette’s lace bra. She pulled it down Bette’s toned arms and let the fabric drop to the floor. She cupped Bette’s breasts and kissed each swell before taking one dark nipple in her mouth and suckled. She heard a moan and did not know if it came from her or from the brunette. “You taste good,” murmured. Tina stepped back slightly. She slipped her hands between Bette’s hips and the lacy panty and eased the flimsy fabric down the long legs stopping once in a while to plant a kiss here and a kiss there. When her face was close enough to the dark curls, she inhaled, creating a new memory with the scent. She placed a soft kiss just above the triangle. “You taste good here, too.” Tina looked up at Bette whose eyes were starting to glaze. Tina stood and turned off water.

“Fuck the bath. Let’s go.” Bette whispered.
