Tina walked into the house and felt a calm wash over her. She went straight to the bedroom and found Bette sleeping. Naked. The covers were pulled down around her waist and Bette was on her stomach fast asleep. Tina gazed at her for a few seconds letting her eyes wander over Bettes gorgeous body. Tina quickly removed her own clothing and climbed into bed careful not to wake Bette. She lay next to Bette running her fingertips lightly over Bettes body starting at her shoulder and going all the way down to her hip. Bette stirred slightly at Tinas touch, but she didnt wake up. Tina smiled to herself knowing that even in the deepest of sleep, Bette could sense her presence.

Tina quietly sat up and carefully straddled Bettes hips, trying not to wake her. Tina then lowered herself so that her face was right next to Bettes and her ***** were resting on the bare skin of Bettes back. Bette felt the contact and woke up startled. She tried to turn around so that she could see Tina, but Tina didnt let her move. Tina ran her hands along Bettes arms and lightly pulled them so that they were resting above Bettes head.

Tina, what are you doing?

Bettes voice was groggy from sleep but Tina was pretty sure that even though she had just woken Bette up, Bette was getting aroused.

Shhh baby, trust me. I love you.

With that she held Bettes hands in place as she slowly started sucking on Bettes ear. She let her kisses trail down Bettes neck and down to her shoulders. Images of the last time they were in this position flashed before Tinas eyes, but she shook them away knowing that this was not power or domination, this was simply about love.

Bette had the same images flash before her eyes too and it brought tears to her eyes. She was not used to being the submissive one, and she didnt know what Tinas intentions were behind putting her in this position. Bette soon found out however, as she felt Tina pull the sheets off of her completely.

Tina ran her hands along Bettes sides and she continued the trail of kisses down Bettes back, knowing where to pay special attention to, and soon Bette was writhing underneath her, wanting so badly to turn the tables and devour Tina. But not tonight. Tonight was about Tina giving herself to Bette in her own way and Bette was enjoying every second of it.

Tina moved her body lower and used one of her legs to spread open Bettes legs. Bette felt extremely vulnerable as Tina had her in an awkward position, but nonetheless she trusted her completely and knew that whatever she had in mind would be okay. Bette inhaled sharply as she felt Tina run her hands up the inside of Bettes thighs, being careful to avoid going too high.

Tina smiled to herself knowing what state Bette must be in right now and she didnt keep her waiting for long. She let her hand discover the warmth between Bettes legs and quickly she slid two fingers into Bettes wetness. Bette let out a soft moan as she felt Tinas fingers come in contact with her body, and from the angle she was entering at it was easier for her to hit that special spot that would make Bette shiver. Tina continued to stroke Bette slowly and she could hear Bette moaning softly. When she knew that Bette was close, Tina began stroking harder and searching for the spot Bette needed her to hit so badly. As Tina felt Bettes muscles contract around her finger she could see Bette shake from the ***** and Tina felt a sense of happiness wash over her.

WHA THE ***** WAS THAT? thought Tina as she sat up in bed suddenly wide-awake. Tina could remember everything about that dream right down to how Bette felt around her fingers. Tina looked around as she realized she was alone in Alices bed. Tina looked at the clock and saw it was almost five in the morning. That was some dream, though Tina as she settled back in the bed. Even though it had been a dream she loved the feeling of control she had over Bette and she knew that finally she had forgiven Bette. Tina knew that even thought Bette had hurt her badly, Bette had changed and they were communicating better now than they ever had.

She had thought that bringing Candace up last night was a mistake, but she was happily surprised at how well Bette had been able to handle herself. She wasnt defensive or angry. She was just honest. Tina knew that was what she had needed in order to completely forgive Bette and allow herself to fully be a part of the relationship. Tina suddenly realized exactly where she wanted to be.

Tina got out of bed quickly and got dressed. She threw all of her things into her suitcase and ran into the living room. She left a note for Alice saying she had gone home and thanked her for everything. She had been staying with Alice for over a month and although she knew she could stay there as long as she needed, she felt bad for being such an inconvenience. Alice had been sleeping at Danas for the past week or so, Tina knew those two were starting their own relationship, but still she felt bad for using Alices apartment. She grabbed her suitcase and practically flew down the stairs to her car.

She drove back to the house that her and Bette had shared for so many years and as she sat in her car she couldnt help but feel a million different emotions running through her body. She was so happy to finally be home, but she was hesitant knowing that things could fall back to their old rhythm so easily. She shook all the negative thoughts out of her head as she got out and grabbed her suitcase. She walked up the stairs and opened the door quietly.

She went back to the bedroom and set the suitcase down near the door. Tina felt tears forming in her eyes as she watched Bette sleeping. Tina moved over to the bed and climbed in next to Bette. She looked at this incredible woman lying next to her and Tina knew that everything would be okay. She smiled as she saw a slight wrinkle in Bettes eyebrows and she wondered what Bette was dreaming about. If it was anything close to mine she is in for a big surprise, Tina said to herself with a smile.

She wrapped her arm around Bette pulling her close and she settled her head right next to Bettes. She felt Bette unconsciously respond by putting her hand over Tinas and Tina felt so good to be home.

Tina woke up a few hours later and found Bette laying there staring at her. Bette was trying to figure out if Tina was real or not and Tina smiled at Bette as she kissed her good morning. They laid there for a few minutes in complete silence, just appreciating the sight and closeness of one another. Tina ran her fingertips over Bettes face and Bette leaned in to her touch, kissing her palm.

Hey.

Hey yourself.

Been here long?

Tina smiled at Bettes last comment knowing that Bette must have been so confused when she woke up.

I had a dream about you last night and it made me realize that this is exactly where I want to be.

Bette smiled at Tina and it was a smile Tina hadnt seen in a long time. It was one of those smiles that come along once in a while that makes your heart melt. It is driven by love, and when shared by the right person, can make everything else just disappear. Tina felt tears of happiness building in her eyes but she didnt let them fall. Instead she pulled Bette in for another kiss. When they broke the kiss, Bette had a smile on her face as she said,

I had a dream about you too.

Tina smiled and raised an eyebrow. She wondered if that kiss last night had set both women up for R rated dreams.

Oh yeah?

Yeah.

Tell me about it.

I had a dream about the first time I saw you. I could feel all the emotion run through my body again like it really was the first time I saw you. You were so beautiful that day and you still are that beautiful.

Tina blushed at Bettes compliment, and also at the thoughts of her own dream. Bette could see a little smirk on Tinas face so she playfully swatted at Tina as she spoke.

Okay, okay. What was your dream about then?

Tina smiled knowing it was something she would never tell Bette about. It was a private moment that she had to keep for herself and even though she may one day reenact it, she could never tell Bette how it made her feel. She decided to give Bette the rough details instead.

Lets just say I found you sleeping naked and the rest is up to your imagination.

They laughed, as they lay there in each others arms completely content. It had been a rough ride for the past month or so, but Tina and Bette both knew that it had been a good one. They had grown closer because of it, and while Tina was not glad that Bette cheated on her, she was glad that Bette had worked so hard to change. Bette knew she had a good thing, and Bette was so happy that Tina had given her another chance. They didnt move all morning and when Bette finally got up to try and make them coffee she stopped when she saw Tinas suitcase by the door.

Baby?

Yeah?

Bette pointed at the suitcase next to the door. Tina rolled over and smiled at Bette as she pulled her into her arms again.

Im home for good baby.

Bette started crying again, and this time it was uncontrolled. Tina held on to her tightly as she realized that Bette was finally able to let out all the emotion she had been holding in for the past few weeks. Bette let herself fall apart in Tinas arms knowing that everything would be okay because this time they were going to pick up the pieces of their broken life together.
