They have done this so many times before. Removing each others clothing, spreading delicate kisses across one another’s body, made love to each other for hours. They used to do it all the time. Every morning, every afternoon, sometimes they’d even wake up during the night and spend a couple of hours making love to each other. You’d have thought by now they would have been more confident, more secure in their relationship? But they weren’t.

Bette stood in the centre of their bedroom, her clothes heaped around her feet. She felt vulnerable and felt the need to hide her body, but she kept her arms firmly by her sides. The candle light flickered across her body, making shadows dance across her mocha skin. It was a beautiful sight to see, she was a beautiful sight to see. Tina was perched on the foot of the bed, her head tilted very slightly to the side and her eyes glinting with lust.

You’re not alone
Together we stand
I’ll be by your side
You know I’ll take your hand

Tina moved to her feet and glided across the room, she too was naked but unlike Bette, she was confident in her body. She lifted her hand and cupped a breast, her palm pressing lightly against a dark coloured nipple. Bette hissed loudly and tried to reach out, but Tina batted away her attempts of touching her. With her other hand, she took a hold of one of Bette’s and weaved their digits together.

She moved her hand ever so slightly, brushing the heel of her hand over the hardening nipple. Every swipe across her skin sent shivers throughout Bette’s body causing goose bumps to appear over her soft skin. Tina rolled the nipple between her thumb and index finger, eliciting a moan from her lover. That’s what she liked to hear. Bette’s moans and gasps were music to her ears.

When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There’s no place to go
You know I won’t give in

It had been tough for them recently. Sometimes Tina had thought about packing her bags and leaving but she knew that once she did, she would regret it. However, deep down she knew that Bette felt worse. Working all the time, not spending time with her, Tina knew she felt guilty. But she wanted to show Bette that it was ok, that they’ll be ok. In a way, she also wanted to convince herself they would be.
