A smile spread across her lips when she felt a pair of warm arms wrap around from behind, easily sliding across her silk nightie. She sighed with content, loving the way her wife’s warm frame felt against her own as she pulled Bette’s arms tighter around herself.

The brunette placed a soft kiss on Tina’s bare shoulder before resting her chin on it, "You gonna be okay baby?"

There was no need to think about it, with Bette be her side, in her arms, Tina knew everything will be just fine.

"Yeah" She replied with a smile, grabbing one of Bette’s hands and kissing the back of it. Bette smiled softly and tenderly kissed Tina’s shoulder once more.

They stood there in silence, looking out at the beautiful ocean as wave after wave crashed onto the white sand. Both were utterly content to be there, in each other’s arms after such a long journey. They had faced so many obstacles and it was obvious they would meet many more during their life together but it was something they were willing to do.

"Any regrets?" Bette asked quietly after a while, her tone bearing the worry she had carried for the last two years. It was probably too late to ask but Bette had to anyway.

Tina had asked herself that question many times during the start of her relationship with Bette. It wasn’t because she questioned being with the brunette, that was something she never thought twice about.

She just wondered if anything could have been done to spare the hurt she had inflicted on someone who wanted nothing more than to share a life with her. Many people achieve happiness at the expense of someone else’s misery but Tina wished that wasn’t the case. Eric was a really good guy.

Tina turned in her wife’s arms, wrapping her own around the brunette’s neck and looking deep into her eyes. The look she gave Bette was one that left no room for doubt, silently giving her the answer before Tina even had the chance to voice it.

"Just that I didn’t hurt him like I did" Tina spoke softly, her voice full of remorse as she lowered her head and played with the tiny chain on Bette’s neck. It was the very same chain she played with on that fateful day at the beach, right before she confessed her true feelings to Bette.

Bette held her wife close in understanding, lovingly stroking her back. It was only another couple of seconds before Tina spoke again, beaming with love.

"As for everything else" Tina pulled back to wrap her arms around her wife’s neck again and smiled up at her, "I couldn’t be happier"

Her statement couldn’t have been more true. She had made peace with what happened and she was ready to move on with the love of her life. Her true love.

Bette responded with a smile of her own, dipping her head down to kiss her wife good morning. She moaned softly at how good it felt to have Tina’s lips against her own, pulling back to look deep into her wife’s eyes.

Tina reached up with both hands and pushed her wife’s hair back, admiring every line and every curve of Bette’s face. She took the time to memorize every part of her beautiful wife even though she knew that she would never forget any of it.

She reached up for another kiss, this one deeper and needier. Bette happily obliged and deeply kissed her beautiful wife, lifting her up and carrying her back into their hotel room. She laid Tina down onto the bed, laying over her and taking in the most beautiful sight she had ever seen.

"I love you" She whispered before passionately claiming her wife’s lips.

Neither was sure exactly when they left that bed, loving each other in ways that only they could, in ways most people wouldn’t understand.

Then again, true love can never be fully explained only felt. Hence all the screaming and moaning echoing throughout the hotel halls.
