Tina played in the pool with Angie, giggling just like their daughter. It made Bette feel good to see them both happy and feeling safe enough to enjoy the day.  Tina’s hair was up and even though she was no longer a vampire, there was something about her very sexy neck that still aroused her.

The look on Bette’s face did not go unnoticed by Alice.

“Hey EV.”

“EV?”

“Ex-Vampire.”

Bette chuckled. “Hey Al. What’s up? You want another beer?”

“Sure. So, how are you guys holding up?”

“We’re ok.” Bette looked longingly at Tina again, thinking that she was hiding her desire well.

“I’m sure you guys have Angie with you at all time, huh?”

“Yeah. We haven’t let her out of our sight. I think she’s getting tired of us smothering her but…we can’t help it.”

“Well, can’t say that I blame you but I’m assuming that hasn’t left much time for…you know…the horizontal mambo.”

Bette rolled her eyes at her comment. “No, but there will be plenty of time for ‘dancing’ when all this is over. Angie is our priority.”

“Well, that’s admirable Porter but you know what they say about blue balls and slayers.”

“What?”

“I don’t know, but it can’t be good.”

“Alice.”

“Come on Bette, it can’t be good to be preoccupied with sex when you have to be on your toes.”

“I’m not preoccupied with sex.”

Alice raised her eyebrow and laughed. “Are you kidding? You two are like the energizer bunnies of sex. What has it been; two or three weeks? You need to be on your game Porter.”

“Alice, please. I don’t want to discuss this with you.”

“I wouldn’t think of it, believe me. I think you should discuss it with your wife. You have an army of witches and slayers here not to mention your sister who has very long nails, to take care of Angie. What’s it gonna take you Porter, ten minutes?”

Bette gave her a scathing look as Alice smiled knowing she had gotten Bette good and embarrassed. She gently put her hand on the slayer’s shoulder.

“Go spend some time alone with your wife, we’ll watch Angie. You’ll only be a few rooms away and I think you’ll be in a much better mood. Think of it as part of your slayer training. A sexually satisfied slayer is a productive slayer.  Hey maybe I’ll lend my little slogan to Peggy to put on t-shirts.”
