(from Houseguest 5)

"Goodnight, Shane."

As Tina left the dining room, Shane watched her departing form. And she smiled in spite of herself.

Trying not to focus on what she had seen in the guest room, and what else the woman she invited into their house might do now that she was without supervision, Tina slipped into a pair of cotton pajamas. Taking care to be quiet, and slipped under the covers.

Almost immediately, she felt a warm hand at her waist, under the pajama top.

"I thought," Tina’s words were interrupted by Bette’s kiss, and then a subsequent kiss. "I thought you were asleep," she said, once Bette had moved to nuzzling her neck.

"I don’t want to sleep yet." Bette rolled Tina onto her back, resting partially on her wife. "I was just saving my energy."

It was fairly obvious to Tina that Bette’s energy level had returned to high, at least based on how efficiently the other woman’s hands were working towards removing her clothing.

Tina repositioned herself so that Bette could complete the removal of her top. She marveled, first at how focused her wife was in her attention. And then, after she had removed the pajama bottoms, on how wonderful Bette’s naked body felt against hers.

Letting her hands roam down Bette’s back, Tina cupped Bette’s *****, and pulled her lover closer. The two women’s lips met in another kiss, before Bette was off, her mouth blazing a path down Tina’s body.

Within moments, the assault by Bette’s mouth on her ***** had driven all worrying thoughts from Tina. There was enough time to concentrate on that, later. All that was truly important to her was with her now, in this bed. That deserved her full attention.

Under the pretext of dusting, Tina spent about a half hour the next morning checking around the living room for anything else that might have ‘gone missing.’

She and Bette had spent the early morning in some gentle wakeup activities, followed by a light breakfast in bed. Bette had wanted to get into the gallery early to make some overseas calls, some plan for a new artist.
