Tina was smoothing some lotion on the back of her neck, and had let her robe slip from her shoulders. She was sitting on one of the stools in their bathroom, back to Bette, but Bette could glimpse the side of her face in the wall-to-wall mirror Tina was sitting in front of. The blonde looked sad, lost in thought, and seemed unaware that Bette had slipped into the bathroom.

She took over from Tina and continued rubbing lotion on her wife’s shoulders and neck. She started massaging the tense muscles of Tina’s shoulders, concentrating on the muscles near the back of Tina’s neck.   Am I glad I took a shower downstairs! We’ve barely had time to exchange two words since I got back late last night.  And then I spent the whole day with the kids to give Tina a break, while she had to go to office, then went out with Kate … not sure what’s clearly upset her, though.  Have a feeling it’s me.  Well … I plan to make it up to her. And, as always, that won’t be a chore.  At all.  Far from it.  I am the luckiest woman alive, having Tina as a wife….  

She scooped a small dollop of the new body butter Tina had switched to recently from the jar sitting on the counter and rubbed it slowly, deeply into the soft, soft skin of that long, creamy neck.   Tina sighed heavily.  “Bette, we …”

“Shh … T …” Bette knelt on the plush rug underneath the stool as she kissed that neck and licked on a line down from the nape to the L-shape where that neck met her wife’s smooth shoulders, and back up again. Ooohhh I miss her so, and she smells sooo good and her skin still feels as smooth and firm as the first time we made love …

Tina turned around and met her mouth hungrily. She leaned into Bette, who drew her arms around the blonde automatically.  A thousand tiny lightning bolts fired out from where their lips latched together … it’s been sooo long, T …. Tina whimpered as she first cupped Bette’s face and then dug a hand through her hair, and caressing the back of her nape, moving those familiar warm, soft lips sensuously over hers.  Bette cushioned their short fall into the deep, plush rug.
