Previously: We were actually on our way home. Tina said stepping out from behind Bette taking her hand. Bette looked at Tina, then Gabby, then back to Tina. She was curious to see how this one would play out. Suit yourself. Gabby chuckled. She then turned to Bette I want detailssss. She held up her thumb and pinky, imitating a phone and walked away. Tina turned to face Bette who was staring at her, a sly grin pulling at her lips. So, Tinashall I take you home? Bette purred taking a step towards her. Tina looked down at the floor, biting her lip. Yes. Please. ************************************************************** Bette turned into her driveway and pulled the keys from the ignition and dropped them in her purse. Tina? She said looking over at Tina who had been silent for the most of their trip home. Tina are youare you okay? Bette touched Tinas leg, concerned. Still staring at the dashboard Tina began, Ive been sitting here thinking, trying to think. Tina paused for what seemed like an eternity before she turned to meet Bettes worried eyes. And I want this more than Ive ever wanted anything andand its scares the ***** out of me. I have so many things going through my head and so many feelings and Im so fuckingconfused…” Tina’s eyes focused on Bette’s with a greater intensity, “but so clear at the same time. You know? Its like a flood of all of this Tina waived her hand between herself and Bette. and it just washes over me and pushes away everything else. Everything that doesnt matter. Im just so…so not who I was. Not even remotely close to who I was even a week ago. I mean, Jesus. Look at me. Im sitting here in your car telling you all this and you probably think Im insane but I dont even care. Ive lost all my ability. All my ability to hide or lie or play games and… and and I just want you to know that Im not, I repeat, am not crazy. I just Tina? Bette grabbed one of Tinas very demonstrative hands and held it still in hers. Tina, Its okay. She smiled warmly and kissed the tips of Tinas fingers. I want this Bette moved Tinas hand to her chest letting her feel Bettes quickened heart. just as much as you do. Maybe more. I promise you, you are safe with me and we will figure this all out together. Okay? Okay. Tina exhaled. Okay. Bette smiled and nodded. Lets go inside. Bette met Tina on the other side of the car and took her hand leading her to the front door. She interlocked her fingers with Tinas holding her steady. She needed Tina to trust her, to give of herself to her. Bette needed to show her she was safe. Bette needed this woman. She smiled at Tina releasing her hand to retrieve her keys from the bottom of her purse. She turned away from Tina angling her opened bag to the porch light. Her face hidden from Tina; Bette fumbled with the lock, her nerves betraying her confident facade and her dexterity. On her third attempt, Bette felt Tinas hands slide around her waist. Let me try. Tina hushed. Bette took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She felt Tinas hand moving down her arm, past her wrist to her long fingers. She guided Bettes hand and the key into the lock, turning it. Got it. Tina whispered as she pushed the door open. Bette opened her eyes and pulled Tina around to face her backing her through the opened door. She took Tina in her arms kicking the door closed. Holding her close Bette kissed and maneuvered Tina through the house and into the bedroom. Standing above her bed their kisses grew in urgency and deepened with passion. Bette kissed down Tinas neck allowing her fingers to graze her skin lightly before replacing their touch with her warm soft lips. She worked her way back up to Tinas ear taking her pliable lobe into her mouth. Tell me what you want Tina. Bette exhaled. Her hot breathe sinking into Tinas skin. I want you. Tina pleaded Bette ran her soft pink tongue around Tinas ear, her breathing becoming heavier. I want you to show me. Show you what Tina? Bette whispered feeling Tinas hips pushing into hers. I need you Tina took Bettes head in her hands pulling her up to meet her eyes. I need you to show me how” Tina paused and took a breath before continuing, “…how to make love to you. Tina trembled as she laid herself bare. Bette held them both up as she was weakened and steeled by Tina’s trust and vulnerability. She returned Tinas intensity with her eyes and replied, Only if you promise to show me She gently kissed Tinas reddened lips, how to make love to you. Tina broke their kiss stepping back and in one fluid movement pulling her clinging dress up and over her head dropping it by her side. The moon light spilling in from the French doors illuminated Tinas bare skin; the sight of which caught Bettes breath and held it still in her chest. Feeling unable to breathe again until she touched this luminescent woman in front of her, Bette moved to her, running her hand down Tinas soft curves. You are so beautiful. Bette shuttered wrapping her arm around Tinas waist bringing her closer; she kissed her neck. Tinas breathing was growing heavy as she reached around releasing her own bra, needing to feel her skin, all of it, on Bette. Bette slid Tinas laced bra down her arms never breaking contact between her lips and Tinas skin. I want to feel you. Tina whispered tugging at Bettes shirt. She raised her arms allowing Tina to pull the hot silk from her body. The cool breeze from the opened window played on her back with the warm touch of Tinas hands as she removed Bettes sheer lingerie. Both women stepped back tracing the new territory before them with their fingertips, both letting the moment, its sights, sounds, sensations burn into them. Lay down. Bette whispered as she pressed Tina to her lowering her onto the cool covers of the bed. A light giggle escaped her lips as she pushed the outfit she had laid out the night before, onto the floor making room for herself next to Tina. She gently rolled on top of Tina, straddling her. She brushed Tinas hair back and placed her lips just above Tinas but not touching. She could feel Tinas hips rising from the bed; into her. Bette stayed just above Tinas mouth, both breathing each others breathe, while Tina unbuttoned her pants pushing them down past her hips. Bette sat up pushing her pants further down shifting her weight from side to side as she moved them down her legs. Tinas hands overlapped Bettes as they both wrestled her free from her constricting clothes. Bette kicked her pants to the side and laid herself down onto Tina. She pressed her lips to hers pulling Tinas tongue to the surface as they kissed passionately. Bette began working her way down Tinas body kissing her sweet smelling skin. Her hands explored, staking their claim, making every inch of Tina, hers. Tina was awash in desire. She was overwhelmed with Bette. Her eyes took in the vision of Bette moving down her body as she held her breathe. Bette looked up into Tinas eyes. She saw her need. Bette rolled off of Tina placing herself beside her, allowing her leg to remain between the warmth of Tinas. She reached across Tinas tight stomach with her smooth palm feeling her muscles respond beneath her touch. She took Tinas hand in hers and retraced her path back over Tinas stomach to her own body. Tina who had, had her eyes closed rolled over on her side finding Bettes eyes on her. Bette began slowing guiding their joined hands down her body. She hesitated and locked eyes with Tina. They stared into each other as their breathing synched; heavy and slow, dripping with anticipation. Tinas hand stirred beneath Bettes urging her on. Together they slipped their hands past the waistband of Bettes panties. Tina closed her eyes again unable to process Bettes beauty and what her body reached for all at once. Her hands began to tremble as Bette led her further and further down. Oh God. Bette exhaled as Tinas fingers slid into her wetness. Tinas eyes opened wide as she watched Bette enjoy her. Bette moved Tina into her rocking her hips creating their rhythm. You feel so good. Tina whimpered shadowing Bettes every move, learning how to please her. The heat radiating from Bette was incredible as they moved together. Tina resisted as she felt her hand being pulled from Bette. Let me. Bette whispered. Tina relented as Bette rolled onto her again; working her way slowly down her body. Bette encircled her navel with her tongue looking up at Tina asking for permission. Tinas hips pushed up to Bette; welcoming her. She moved herself down between Tinas legs kneeling back as she lifted Tinas legs one by one removing her panties. Tina gripped the bed sheets in her tight fists as Bette moved her mouth to where she needed her most. Oh *****. Tina growled as she pressed her hips against Bettes slow tongue. Tina released her grip on the sheets and gently took Bettes hair between her fingers urging her to quicken her maddening pace. Bette felt Tina tighten around her as she buried herself deeper into her. Tinas hips came crashing down onto the bed as her whole body quaked with rapture. Several moments later, Bette felt Tinas hands pulling her upwards as her body quieted. Tina met Bettes glistening lips taking herself and Bette into her mouth. You are amazing. She whispered brushing Bettes hair behind her ear. Bette smiled and kissed Tina running her hand up and down the length of her body. Tina grabbed Bettes hand interlocking their fingers; she pushed Bette onto her back straddling her. Bette smiled, pushing back on Tinas hand pinning her. Let me Tina whispered as she started moving down AHEMMMM. Tina??? Hellooo??? Robert said waiving his hands in Tinas face. Sorry. Sorry. What was I saying Tina stammered; Roberts words snapping her back to reality. Back to the table she shared with him, her divorce attorney. She glanced down noting her dinner plate had been taken. She rubbed her pregnant belly and looked back up at Robert who was smiling at her like she was crazy. Well ahhh, the last thing you said to me was something about a fat guy in a leather vest, but by that look on your face and the fact that I have had ummm Robert raised his glass and closed one eye gauging its contents, 3/4 of a quarter martini since you went mute on methat, that might not have been the end of your story.

Now tell me you didnt turn into one of those clich ***** couples. Beep Beep Beep Robert waived his hands in the air like he was directing traffic. Back up the truck, its our second date. He smiled and laughed at his own joke. No. We didnt do that. Thanks for your concern though Robert. Alright, alright. Im sorry. So you tell me. Whats next?
