Bettes eyes opened just as the sky was starting to turn pink. She had such a calm feeling in her soul and as she looked at the woman in her arms she understood why. Waking up before Tina and watching her sleep was always one of Bettes favorite times. Tina looked so relaxed and worry free, so beautiful with the early morning light kissing her face. She had her head on Bettes arm and was so close that Bette could feel her breath. She gently traced her face with her fingers and slid them down her throat, across her shoulder, and down her arm while watching every inch they traveled. When she looked back at her face, Tinas eyes were open and looking at her, filled with so much emotion. Her lips had that ***** smile that turned Bettes insides to jelly.

That was the best sleep I have had in ages, Tina said.

Me too, even though it was only a couple of hours. Im starved Tee, are you hungry?

I could eat, but not just now. With that she started running her hands up and down Bettes back and leaned forward until her lips met Bettes.

Bette enjoyed the kiss for a few moments, then broke away and stood up. Come on Baby, we have a long walk back to the car, and I need a bathroom.

Tinas heart soared when she heard the word Baby. It had been a long time since she had heard that endearment and it sent a shot of longing through her. She allowed Bette to pull her to her feet, but then put her arms around Bettes neck and went right back to kissing her.

This is murder, thought Bette. I have been dreaming of this and I still cant really enjoy it knowing there is still this secret between us. She ran her hands down Tees back and grabbed her bottom, and pulled Tina hard against her. Tina released a long moan into her mouth and hugged her even tighter. It was almost Bettes undoing. Bette broke the kiss and ran her lips across Tees face to her ear. She whispered, Not here Tee, people are already out walking on the beach, and I dont know how much more of this I can stand. Its been quite a dry spell without you.

Tina had latched onto Bettes earlobe and her knees were threatening to give out. She went with the feeling and dropped back onto the sand, pulling Bette with her. For me too Babe, but I am very thirsty right now. Tina whispered back.

Bette almost exploded at the soft words whispered in her ear. She couldnt help herself as her hands moved to mold Tinas *****, gently flicking at the nipples. Oh Babe, Tina moaned. Tinas hands were now running all over her and Bette was seriously losing control. Her right hand released its prize and gently caressed all the way down Tees body, under her dress and up her thigh until it reached the warm prize it had been seeking.

Oh God Baby, where is your underwear? She moaned.

Took you long enough to notice. Tina groaned as she pushed herself into Bettes hand.

You are incorrigible! I love you so much Tee. Bette kissed Tina while her hand explored every nook and cranny of the treasure it had discovered. It only took a couple of minutes and Tinas body stiffened, then convulsed, and finally went limp. Bette had swallowed all of Tinas moans and those moans had driven her over the edge to her own release.

They were both a little out of breath when Bette pulled back and looked at Tina. You are so beautiful, and so full of sand! She laughed as she stood up, pulled Tina to her feet and brushed the sand off her. Tina did the same for her and then they shared another kiss.

I think we had better head back to the car now, cause I am in serious need of a bathroom. Bette said.

Tina laughed, took her hand, and they started back down the beach.

I feel like we are starting all over again. Tina said.

Me too Baby. I didnt know you had a fantasy about making love in public.

I didnt. All I knew is that I wanted you right then and right there. Everyone ceased to exist for me but you Bette.

God Tina, do you have any idea what you are doing to me? This is such an overload of emotions after being without you for so long. I never thought I could be this happy again. Bette put her arm around Tina and pulled her close as they continued to walk.

I was hoping after our talk last night, that maybe we were ready to try being together again. I was thinking about moving back into our house.

Bette stopped and turned to Tina, Are you serious? Do you think we are ready?

Tina faltered a little bit, I am ready, and I thought you wanted me to move back.

Bette leaned forward and kissed Tina again. I do Baby, but we have not settled everything yet. I have more I need to talk to you about. I want you back home with me so bad, but I am afraid you wont want to come home after I say what I need to say. They started walking again.

Youre scaring me again Bette.

I know Baby, and Im sorry.

Are you still seeing her Bette?

Bette stopped and turned Tina to her. The fact that Tina had needed to ask the question tore her apart. She had hurt her so much! She placed her hands on either side of Tees face and looked deeply into her eyes. She could see the pain reflected there and it broke Bettes heart.

Sweetheart, I love you. Only you! I have not been with her since before you left me that night. I only saw her on a couple of occasions after that and each time I reiterated that it was over, that I loved, needed and wanted only you. Tee, I dont want her, I never loved her, and I never want to see her again. You are my life. I love you completely and totally. The love I feel for you consumes me. My every thought and every emotion is centered around you. I will spend every day for the rest of my life trying to earn back your trust and to right the wrong I did you.

Bette finished by gathering Tina up in her arms and kissing her with so much passion that Tina knew every word Bette had said to her was true.

Both were lost in their own thoughts for the rest of the walk back to the car.

I have to think of some way to tell Tina without losing her again. She wants to come home! I need her home.

What in the world could Bette have to tell me that would make me not want to move back home? She loves me and she is not seeing her. What else could it possibly be?

They finally reached the car.

Where would you like breakfast Baby?

Somewhere close Bette. I am suddenly in need of a bathroom too.

Bette held the door for Tina while she got in the car. Then Bette leaned down and gave Tina another soft kiss.

Tee, ahwhat did you do with your underwear?

Tina just laughed.
