“Ouch! Damn it!” Tina yelled.

Startled Bette asked, “What is it baby?”

“My breasts are so tender and my nipples are cracked and raw.” Tina said as she repositioned herself against Bette.

“Let me see them,” said Bette.  As she cupped Tina’s breasts gently in her hands she saw why she had flinched at the hard contact.  Both nipples were extremely red and chaffed.

“I never thought that I could be this sore,” Tina said with a pained expression.  “They sent some vitamin E gel home with me from the hospital that is supposed to help with the rawness.  Do you remember seeing it in my suitcase?”

Bette lay silently as she ran the tips of her fingers gently across Tina’s breast.  Lowering her head she softly kissed each of her nipples.

Tina gasped at the tenderness of her touch.  Still cupping he breasts Bette scooted closer to Tina so that their nipples touched ever so slightly.

“Oh Bette what are you doing to me,” Tina sighed as she propped herself up on an elbow.

“Lay on your back for me.”

As Bette lay down Tina reached out and lightly cupped one of her breast. Leaning closer she began to kiss and gently suck on her nipple.

“Baby please don’t do this,” Bette pled knowing that she had another five weeks to go before she could be with Tina.

Tina continued sucking her nipple and began to knead her other breast with her left hand.  As she began to tease it with the tip of her tongue she felt Bette pull away from her.

“What’s wrong” Tina asked in a quivering voice.

“You know that we can’t do this Tina,” Bette replied as she up and grabbed a robe.

“Just because I can’t it doesn’t mean I can’t make love to you,” Tina whispered softly.

“I can’t Tina I just can’t,” Bette said as she left the bedroom.

Tina lay back and felt tears stinging her eyes.  She already had so many thoughts about Bette not wanting her that she now allowed them to fill her mind. 

Bette entered the kitchen clearly shaken by what had just happened.  She sat down and cupped her face in her hands.  “Fuck!” she thought to herself.  She sat down and drank some orange juice trying to figure out what she needed to do.  Finishing her drink she began to get the turkey ready for the oven.  She finished with the turkey and stood running her hands through her hair nervously.

Hearing the shower running she decided that she would lie back down until Tina finished in the bathroom.  She felt her body tremble with excitement over what had happened earlier and allowed her hand to drift down across her smooth stomach.  She began to stroke herself gently imagining that it was Tina touching her.

Tina walked from the bathroom and stared as Bette’s hands moved on her body.  Her eyes were tightly closed, her head was thrown back against the pillow and one hand caressed her breast while the other one moved urgently beneath the cover.  Bette began to tremble as she reached her orgasm and her body shook gently savoring her release.  She was startled by the sound of a door slamming and her eyes flew open as she heard Tina sobbing in the bathroom.

“T Tina what’s wrong baby?” Bette asked cautiously as she approached the closed door.

Through her tears Tina yelled, “You don’t want me to touch you but you lay in my bed and got yourself off!  I wasn’t enough for you before when you went to Candace and

obviously I’m still not what you want.”

“God Tina is that really what you think?” Bette asked as she rested her forehead against the closed door, her vision blurred by tears.

“I don’t just think it – I know it!” Tina screamed.
