Bette drew away from the kiss, as Tina reluctantly let go of her tongue. 

“You are truly a romantic, Tina.  If I didn’t know any better… I would say that you’re trying to tell me that you…umm…feel something for me?,” she was teasing, but her heart was in her throat. 

Tina began kissing Bette’s face softly all around.  She chuckled, “feel something, huh?” 

“Hmm…,” she continued, “maybe…I do….just a little bit.” 

Bette kissed Tina quickly on the lips, then began to similarly plant soft kisses all over Tina’s face.   

Under the water, still sitting lightly on Tina’s lap, with the back of both hands she began to lightly caress the sides of Tina’s body, as the blonde similarly ran her fingers up and down her spine.  Bette caressed Tina on her sides, down to her hips, and, as she worked her way back up, with her fingers she began to caress the underside of Tina’s breasts, then circle her nipples softly.  Tina moaned, snaked her hands around Bette’s neck, and drew the brunette closer for a kiss. 

“I do feel something for you, Bette Porter,” she said huskily, as she drew away, moaning into the brunette’s mouth. 

“I want you; I need you; I love you; I want you to want me; to need me; to love me…,” the blonde whispered, as she kissed Bette softly after each phrase. 

Bette moaned, sliding her mouth roughly all over Tina’s face, as her hands cupped both breasts of the blonde, massaging them roughly, tweaking, bending, teasing the nipples. 

“Always, T,” she growled. 

“Forever.” 

“Eternal.” 

“No one will ever love you more, Tina Kennard.” 

She captured Tina’s lips in a hot, hungry, searing kiss. Willing Tina to know how much she missed her, hands plumping Tina’s breasts.  Her ache had deepened and grown as they kissed.  If she didn’t…. 

“Fuck me baby,” Tina begged. 

With a groan, Bette felt for Tina’s cleft, and slipped a finger in, parting the flesh.  She pulled out, and pushed two fingers in.  In-out, in-out, in-out. With her other hand, she continued to plump the blonde’s breasts.  Their kiss grew more desperate. 

She whispered as she broke the kiss off, “Tina…You have no idea what you’ve meant to me. What you mean to me. …”
