Bette took her free hand and began pulling Tina’s top out of her skirt.  Once she got a portion free, she took her hand and slipped it under Tina’s shirt feeling the silky skin underneath and eliciting a moan from Tina that made Bette want to rip her clothes off. Bette felt Tina’s skin around her stomach and began moving her hand up to Tina’s ***** when Tina gently pulled away from the kiss and broke their increasingly intense progression. 

Tina: Bette

Bette: T, what is it? Are you okay?

Tina looked at the concern spread across Bette’s face and tried to assure her she was fine.

Tina: No Bette, I’m not okay.  I’m amazing!

Both girls giggled and touched their foreheads to each other facing downwards.  Bette held Tina in her arms and tried to pull her closer.

Tina: Bette, I I’m scared.  I’ve never been with a woman. I’ve felt more for you in the past 24 hours than I’ve ever felt for anyone else and it’s terrifying.

Bette:  T, you don’t have to be scared of anything, I’m here for you.  I’ve never felt like this either babe.  You’re doing things to me that many have tried to do before, but failed.  (She moves toward Tina’s ear, lightly touching her lobe and she whispers)  Do you have any idea how wet I am right now.

Tina’s barely audible response made Bette crazy: Oh Bette, my body aches for you.

Tina managed to loosen Bette’s grip and sat on her couch.  Bette sat next her and waited for her to say something.

Tina: I have to take this slow you can understand that right? (Tina turns to face Bette and takes Bette’s hands in her own) I want this to be right for both of us, but we need to do it cautiously.  We’re working together, we just met, I’ve never dated a woman, and technically I’m not really finished with James and

Bette smiled at Tina’s concerns, she knew Tina and James were through, but she also understood the need to take it slow. Bette wanted this to be perfect and she knew that to go further than the conjugal one night stand would be a big change as well as a challenge for her too.

Bette: Babe, I understand everything you’re worried about and trust me, I’m willing to wait to be with you.  I want this to be right for both of us too.  (She began caressing Tina’s face) I want to treat you like a princess (smiling, touching her hand and leg) waiting on you hand and foot.

They heard a noise and looked up, the janitor walked into the room with his headphones on; he glanced in towards the girls’ direction and was startled to find them there.

Janitor: Oh, whoa, sorry I didn’t realize anyone was still here uhh excuse me ladies.

Tina: No its okay, we were just leaving. (She turned to Bette) Maybe we should get going we have some long weeks ahead of us.

Bette: Sure T, but I won’t leave until you agree to have dinner with me sometime.

Tina: I would love too.

With that Bette and Tina cleaned up their offices and walked out of the building hand in hand.  Both of them looked forward to the weeks ahead and couldn’t wait until the moment they could see each other again.
