Orange County, California

Bette and Tina stumbled into the house, their lips locked together in a frenzy. It was a good thing Bette was a firefighter, because if the sparks they were letting out caused something to ignite, Bette could certainly put it out.

Bette moaned wantonly as they scrambled into Bette’s room and fell unceremoniously on the bed.

Tina, who was on top, moaned loudly. Feeling the very fit firefighter underneath her body was driving her insane with desire.

They started tearing at each other’s clothes desperately. Almost two months of sexual tension had erupted into a full fledged flame and neither woman could contain herself. It wasn’t long until clothes was thrown all over the place and Bette and Tina were grinding their naked bodies together.

It was Tina who took the initiative. She moved her lips down to capture Bette’s breast but froze when she saw the scar on Bette’s chest. Bette had always been very careful to never show the scar that had been a constant reminder of the metal shard that impaled her and the death of her friend who sacrificed herself for her.

In her haze she had completely forgotten about her mark of shame and she immediately moved to cover herself. Tina, however, pushed Bette’s hands away and looked down at the scar more closely. She looked up to Bette’s eyes which were full of tears. Tina read her like a book. In the month and a half that they had known each other, Tina had found herself openly staring at and observing the brunette. She knew instantly that Bette felt ashamed of the scar. No words needed to be spoken.

Tina also knew that Bette had been watching her as well, and she knew Bette would be able to read her. She looked into her brown orbs and moved her hand down to Bette’s chest, softly caressing the scar which felt rough underneath her fingertips. Bette’s eyes welled with tears, she had understood completely.

Tina leaned down and softly pressed her lips against the scar. Her message was delivered. That scar wasn’t something to be ashamed of, it was something to be proud of because she had bravely risked her life to save people every single day. And more so that the scar was created during the 9-11 attacks made Bette a hero.
