The brunette let her hands slip underneath Tina’s dressing gown as she touched the warm skin of Tina’s back, making Tina arch into her with a soft moan. The sound filled Bette’s mouth, and she allowed her hands to travel around Tina’s ribs, downward to her bottom. Tina’s arms slid around Bette’s neck, their bodies melting against one another as they kissed with a passionate love that rocked them both.

”Tina…” Bette’s desperate plea came from deep inside her, natural as breathing, matched only by her need for the blonde.

Not wanting to break their kiss, Tina didn’t say a word, but gave Bette her answer all the same. Each kiss shoved the overwhelming worries farther from the forefront of their minds.

Soon their lovemaking that had started slowly with so much tenderness, sadness and sincerity for each other started to grow in intensity as it became a frenzy of caressing, pushing into each other, kissing, the kisses just as long, but with increased, breathless passion, now accompanied with much more urgency.

Dancing, leaping and soaring, the flame encouraged them together. Both felt the climax of their lovemaking reach its pinnacle as orgasmic delight ran like electricity through their systems, every nerve ending on fire.

The last spasm, smaller this time, but just as blissful, brought a cry of pleasure to Bette’s lips. Her head fell forward and she buried her face in Tina’s chest while the blonde, who was no less spent, weakly stroked the dark curls.

”Baby?” Tina called to her girlfriend in a gentle undertone. ”I think we’ve broken the deckchair.”

Muffled giggles could be heard from Bette.

”It’s not funny, we now own Shane a new one,” Tina teased, grinning.

The brunette lifted her head off Tina’s chest and let it fall back against the back of the deckchair as she looked at Tina lazily. ”She’ll understand.”

”How’re you feeling now?” studying her lover’s face, Tina wondered.

”Euphoric,” Bette slurred. ”I needed this.”

Tina smiled. ”Me too.”

When Bette closed her eyes, Tina bent forward, pecked her lips and got up from her lap. ”I’ll go make us some coffee and snack.”

After Bette mumbled the incoherent approval, the blonde headed inside the house. She was able to find some ingredients for a sandwich, so she made a few. When she came back outside with a tray of freshly brewed coffee, sandwiches and biscuits, she found Bette asleep. Putting the tray on a deck table, with a contented sigh Tina smiled warmly at the brunette, relieved that she had finally dozed off and would get some physical and emotional rest, which she deserved. Tina reached out and tucked a lock of hair behind Bette’s ear that had fallen over her face, her fingers stroking the strong jawline along the way. She felt so happy just spending these peaceful moments with Bette, it gave her hope.
