‘What?! Ok, perfect example, a couple of weeks ago, you and I were meeting with the exec from the lichtberg gallery…’ Bette groaned and shifted in Tina’s arms trying to hide her face. The blonde laughed as she continued ‘we were walking round and letting him see my work and I tripped and you caught me before I face-planted the floor! Afterwards, you stumbled over your words and couldn’t look at me, so don’t tell me I haven’t noticed you!’ Tina grinned and let out a squeal as she lightly pinched Bette’s waist and felt the Brunette spin round to try and tickle her.

They laughed together, each relaxing into the other’s company and after a few minutes of light caresses, they lay on their sides facing each other. Tina pulled the sheets up over them and adjusted her face so that it was only a few inches from Bette’s.

‘Ok, well do you know that when you get stressed, excited and tired, you’re southern accent comes out more?’ Bette teased as she grinned at Tina. She had taken Tina’s hand and their fingers were intertwining, dancing in a rhythm of their own. ‘And… as I have found out more recently, that can also be added to when you’re turned on.’ Bette chuckled and flashed a dazzling smile.

‘Oh my god, you noticed that?!’ Tina hid her face in the pillow as she laughed. ‘God, that’s embarrassing.’

 ‘I think its sexy.’ Bette beamed. She leaned in and placed a soft kiss on Tina’s lips. She loved the gentle way they were laying but she was also becoming excited as their hands seemed to have a life of their own. Neither woman could stop touching the other, innocent flicks of fingertips here and there appeared to have Bette’s body responding as she had never done before.

‘Hmm, well I’m not sure I believe you, but I’m glad you think its sexy.’ Tina chuckled, responding to Bette’s lips on hers and deepening the kiss. They both moaned as tongues touched, lips smashed harder together and the tiny distance between them became non-existent as mocha flesh met creamy skin.

The sky was light through Tina’s curtains when they fell asleep. Bette’s arms held Tina close as the blonde’s legs were interwoven with hers, both women physically and emotionally exhausted but utterly content and excited about the new journey they had started.
