Tina quietly climbed the stairs to her bedroom, not wanting to disturb Bette’s phone call. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn’t notice Bette standing in the hallway until she was inches away from her.

"Bette…hey" she said shyly.

"You ok?" Bette reached out and rubbed her arm gently.

Tina just nodded without looking at her.

"T, what’s going on?" Bette reached out her other arm so that she was holding Tina.

"Please Bette, don’t touch me" Tina whispered as she took a step backwards so that she was out of Bette’s reach.

"T…I…why?" Bette struggled for words.

Tina looked up and stared into Bette’s eyes "Because the next time you touch me I won’t be able to tell you to stop"

Bette looked at her with confusion on her face.

"I…I can’t fight it anymore. I want you"

There was a fire in Tina’s eyes and Bette struggled to catch her breath. Realising that that was as far as Tina was going to go in making the first move, she took a step forwards and slowly ran a finger down Tina’s arm.

"Bette…" Tina breathed, before stepping into her to claim her.

Tina grabbed Bette’s face and her lips came crashing against the brunettes as both of them were overtaken by the passionate kiss. She ran her hands down to the hem of Bette’s shirt and held onto it as she slowly pulled the two of them backwards towards the bedroom. Bette gently steered Tina so that they moved together through the open door. When she felt her legs come to rest against the edge of the bed Tina broke the kiss slightly and opened her eyes so that she was looking down at the way their bodies were pressed together. She moved her hands to slowly begin unbuttoning Bette’s shirt while planting a trail of kisses from her mouth, across her cheek to the side of her neck. After she had unfastened the last button she slid the shirt slowly off Bette’s shoulders, taking the time to appreciate the beautiful body that had been concealed beneath it. Even though she had seen Bette’s body the night before, it held a different meaning now that she knew it was all hers to do with as she pleased.
