Now it was Bette’s turn to bring up her hand to Helena’s face. She looked one last time into Helena’s eyes and closed her own as she bent her head and placed her lips softly over Helena’s. The kiss was tender and tentative. Bette wasn’t sure how Helena would react to this and as Helena placed her hand behind her neck and added more pressure to the kiss, she let loose a little of the selfcontrol she had and kissed her more passionately. Air was getting short and they both pulled back to retrieve some of it. They breathed into one another as they were still so close to each other.

This time Helena went in for another scorching kiss and as they were kissing she turned her body slightly and pulled Bette on top of her. Her hands run over Bette’s back until she reached her lower back and put her hands underneath Bette’s tank top. She laid her hands flat on Bette’s back and wandered with her palms against her soft skin further up. When Bette felt the change in their positions and Helena’s hands on her skin, she broke the kiss and looked down at Helena and whispered

„Helena… are you sure you want to do this? I don’t think that we should…I mean, I- I don’t want to hurt you…“

„You are not going to hurt me. I want you, Bette… I need to feel what I see in your eyes when you’re looking at me.“ Helena was near tears and her voice was filled with desperation.

„What if you’re not ready? I have feelings for you and I really don’t wanna hurt you“ Bette caressed Helena’s face and kissed her once on her lips.

„Please, I need to feel you“

Upon hearing that she bent down to Helena again and engaged her in a kiss filled with passion, longing and need. Helena continued to stroke Bette’s back up and down and when she arrived on her lower back again she pulled the tank top up and over Bette’s shoulders and head. She caressed over the naked skin of her back and spread her legs slightly for Bette to lie between them. She brought her hands around and touched Bette’s breasts. They felt so soft against her hands and she squeezed gently, bringing her nipples to peaks. Bette moaned in Helena’s mouth as she felt her fondle her breasts. She brought her own hands down and in between Helena’s sweater and skin. She broke the kiss and pulled it over her head. Helena didn’t wear anything underneath and Bette was rewarded with two soft mounds. She kissed her way down her neck over the collarbone and down to between her breasts. On her way down she nibbled and sucked on a few places that made Helena gasp with pleasure. Bette kissed and licked her breast without touching her nipple. She kept doing that for a few moments and when Helena’s breath grew more heavy she took the nipple into her mouth and sucked it lightly, making Helena moan quietly. When she gave the same treatment to the other breast, Bette touched Helena’s arms with her palms and fingertips. But when she came to Helena’s left wrist she stopped and looked up. She brought the arm down to her and looked at the fresh scars. Shock was in her eyes and she looked at Helena, but Helena averted her eyes away from Bette. She had forgotten about that. Bette made Helena look back into her eyes as she placed her fingers under her chin and turned her to her.
