Tina was lost in thought, all she could think of was Bette sitting on the sofa watching tv, eating dinner with a knife and fork, and herself kneeling at Bette’s feet, wrists tied behind her back, eating her food from a bowl.

Bette was reading the blondes facial expression. She could see the blonde was obviously battling with something, in an instant she looked so vulnerable. “Honey” Bette said gently, “Hun” she said again, pulling the blonde back in to the present.

“Huh?” Tina responded.

Bette leaned back against the bed, “Come here” She put her arms out, pulling in the blonde gently, who turned to the side snuggling in to the brunette.

“What’s up baby? What are you thinking?” She says caressing the blonde’s face and hair.

“I just…” It’s almost as though Tina has just woken from a very long amazingly kinky dream. “I feel so… I mean… I would do anything, anything for you” The blonde says very seriously.

Bette smiles at the comment, knowing she would do anything for Tina too.

“I would…” the emotional blonde struggles to get out the words.

Bette patiently waits.

“I would kneel, and eat from a bowl on the floor…” Tears well in Tina’s eyes, “if you asked me to”

Bette realizes the depth of everything Tina must be feeling. Her dominant persona, although it had always been there, was something that had grown stronger over time. She had learnt, and experimented with different partners. But for Tina, this was all happening so quickly. She cursed herself for moving so quickly with the girl.

“Babe” Bette helps Tina to turn towards her, moving the girl’s legs, so that Tina was straddling Bette’s lap. The brunette wraps her arm around Tina’s waist. Bette looks her in the eye. Tina refuses to look up. “Please look at me”

Tina looks up, her face stained with tears. Bette sits up straight, pulling her into a protective embrace. “I’m so sorry”

Tina begins to cry more, hugging Bette back, her head in the crook of her neck. Tina tries to talk through tears, but just gives up.

“It’s OK, it’s OK baby” Bette rubs her back, feeling awful.

After a while Tina begins to calm, pulling back and looking at Bette. Seeing the hurt and fear on Bette’s face. “Baby what’s up?” She asks.
