“I know I’m being silly but I don’t want that many women looking at you…that way.”

The olive toned woman laughed. Still chuckling Bette asked, “Exactly how would they look at me in a sea of other like-dressed women?”

Tina angled her head towards Bette and pointed out plainly with a serious glint in her eyes. “Like the way only I’m allowed.”

Bette cleared her throat and changed the subject but stayed on topic.  “Okay although I’ve kind of wanted to go on one of those trips to Alaska someday.”

“Hmmm… that does sound interesting.”

“Europe?”

“We did that last year Babe.”  Tina smiled. 

Bette’s mouth and face radiated too.    

The South of France, after touring Greece, Italy and Spain was a nice choice to spend time alone after their commitment ceremony.  The vineyards, the people and a chateau that offered the conveniences of modern living amidst yesterday’s air.  It was perfect for the young couple.  To celebrate in a quiet, small location that allowed them to focus on each other. 

They enjoyed good food, culture and were away from tasks that bound.  No schedule, no interruptions.  Nothing to do but be with each other, take pleasure in the present and contemplate the rest of their lives.

It was just right for them then.

“Asia?”

“Sure…although we’ll need a fair number of days for that.” 

Traveling alone would require a day both ways she thought.  But if they did plan for something in that side of the world that would mean at least a week together, maybe two.  Two weeks of unadulterated Bette.  Tina’s smile grew.

“Why are you smiling?”

Tina admitted, “I’m excited.”

“Oh really,” Bette lightly made fun of her companion, raising her brows with innuendo “I wonder why…”

“Will you stop!”  Tina said with lips upturned in joy, “If it’s just your body I wanted, we both know I already have complete access right here.”

To emphasize the point, Tina pressed the length of her body against Bette’s.  Her light skin brushed against Bette’s deeper tones and she licked her lover’s neck before kissing the side of her mouth. 

The studio executive looked at the woman on her side and somewhat beneath her, their gaze still mischievous though also very intent.  She broke eye contact to glance at Bette’s lips before meeting the brunette’s gaze again, smiling demurely.

It was Bette who moved to complete the demonstration.  Her fingers lightly touched Tina’s hairline.  Smooth lips found Tina’s and caressed with so much affection it was hauntingly beautiful.  She lifted her head and pulled Tina gently towards her so they could kiss deeply.

And oh did they kiss.

With eager lips and warm tongues, each was responsive and loving.  Lips grasped and stroked as the couple maneuvered up and down to increase this passionate touch.  Indeed, they did not need to leave home to have this.  To feel this.
