"Cheers" Bette raised the glass.

Closing her eyes, she leant her head in to Tina’s neck. She took a moment to inhale the familiar scent, silently thankful that Tina had never changed her brand of perfume. In one swift lick she removed the salt, wishing she had an excuse to maintain contact for longer. She avoided Tina’s gaze as she knocked back the tequila, not wanting to reveal how much she’d enjoyed their close proximity. Carefully she took the lemon into her mouth, just avoiding contact with Tina’s lips, but close enough to cause a fluttering in her stomach. Any urge to wince from the taste of the tequila was overridden by the excitement she felt from the blonde in front of her.

"Your turn" she said softly.

Slowly Tina poured a line of salt down Bette’s neck, enjoying watching goosebumps appear as she dragged the metal shaker across her skin. Bette picked up the slice of lemon and placed it in her mouth and sighed as she waited for Tina to begin what she was sure would be slow torture.

Not one to disappoint, Tina gently ran her tongue up the contours of Bette’s neck, a laborious lick that she knew would drive the brunette crazy. Bette finally exhaled a breath that she hadn’t realised she’d been holding when Tina’s tongue broke the contact. However, she remained with her head bent into Bette’s neck.

"I think I missed a bit" she whispered into her ear, and Bette bit her lip to keep from moaning.

Tina flicked her tongue carefully against the soft skin of Bette’s neck, enjoy the reaction that the brunette’s body could not hide. She then took the shot and drank it, trying to ignore the fact that it burned her throat. She screwed her nose up in disgust, and Bette couldn’t help but smile at how cute it was. However, the smile was soon wiped off as Tina leant in to take the lemon. She opened her mouth to take the bitter fruit inside, engulfing the slice as brushed her lips against Bette’s before biting down on the fruit and pulling away.

"You know what, I think I could start to like tequila" Tina said with a grin.

Bette could only murmur in response, her brain was still unable to function following the close contact with Tina. She was only stirred back to reality by the feeling of an arm being placed around her waist.

"There you are, I’ve been looking for you everywhere" Jodi said, leaning on Bette to steady herself.

All Bette could do was wonder why contact with her girlfriend created no electricity, no feeling at all, when even the touch of Tina’s arm sent jolts throughout her whole body.
