Chapter 46

“Jeez Tina…” Bette was voicing her annoyance loudly.

Tina snapped back at Bette, “What?!?”

“You’ve only snapped at me about forty times today. God – I can’t seem to do anything right – or at least not RIGHT enough for you! Please crawl out of my *****! Can you please at least TRY to be nice to me?”

Tina looked at Bette. She could feel the tears welling in her eyes. She was about to apologize when Bette pulled her in close – engulfing her in her arms. Tears rolled down Tina’s cheeks.

Bette began quietly singing to Tina…

What did you say
I know I saw you saying it
My ears won’t stop ringing
Long enough to hear
Those sweet words
What did you say

And now the day
The hour hand has spun
Before the night is done
I just have to hear
Those sweet words
Spoken like a melody

All your love
Is a lost balloon
Rising up through the afternoon
‘Til it could fit on the head of a pin

Come on in

Did you have a hard time sleeping
‘Cause a heavy moon was keeping you awake
And all I know is I’m just glad to see you again

See my love
Like a lost balloon
Rising up through the afternoon
And then you appear

What did you say
I know I saw you saying it
My ears won’t stop ringing
Long enough to hear
Those sweet words
And your simple melody

I just have to hear
Your sweet words
Spoken like a melody
I just wanna hear
Those sweet words


Tina softly whispered to Bette, “I love you…”

“I know you do T….I know you do…”

“Baby…I’m so sorry I’ve been crabby.”

“Crabby would be a gross understatement Tina…but you do know that I still love you…right?”

“Yeah I know. You know Baby – the last time you sang to me was when I was in the hospital. Do you remember that?” Tina pulled away and looked at Bette with adoring eyes. “You’ve always known how to calm me down – how to relax me…”

“I would call this more like soothing the savage beast!” Bette winked at Tina.

“Very funny Porter.” Tina cradled Bette’s face in her hands and kissed her. Bette felt her body go weak.

“God Tina – there you go again – disarming me…How do you do that to me?

“I learned from a master .”

“A master huh? And just who might that master be?” Bette looked at Tina and smiled.

“Hmmmm…let me see …there have been so many…Ah…I think that master would be —- you.” Tina kissed Bette again – with more passion. She pushed her tongue through Bette’s lips. Their tongues danced. Bette moaned quietly. Tina moved her hands up under Bette’s tank top. Her touch was so tender. She ran her fingers lightly over Bette’s nipples – they became erect with her touch. “Do you like the way that feels Baby?”

Bette struggled to find her voice. “I love the way that feels T…”

“Well … maybe you’d love this more.” Tina reached down to the bottom of Bette’s shirt and lifted it over her head. She let it drop to the floor. Tina kissed Bette again. She kissed her eyes, her nose, her chin. She nibbled and kissed her way down Bette’s neck. She concentrated for several moments on Bette’s collar bone – that part of Bette’s body – just the thought of it – made Tina crazy with desire. “God Bette, you’re so damn *****…please always share yourself with only me. I need to know that this is mine.” Tina pulled Bette’s erect nipple into her mouth and teased it. “And I need to know that this is mine,,,” Tina pulled Bette’s other nipple ino her mouth and sucked on it gently.

“Tina…I…I…love this more – I’m all yours. Please…Tina please.”

Tina gently kissed her way down Bette’s tummy. She stuck her tongue in her belly button. Tina then began moving back up Bette’s tummy. She sucked one of Bette’s nipples into her mouth again – and then the other.

Bette closed her eyes and let out a heavy sigh. “You’re such a tease T. Such a tease!” Bette’s breathing was becoming labored – her desire was strong – she had to have Tina. She needed to show her how much she loved her. Bette wanted to make love WITH Tina. Bette put her hands on Tina’s head and stopped her – she pulled her up so that they were face to face.

“Tina I want to make love WITH you. Please – Tina – let’s make love to each other.”

What was left of their clothing fell to the floor. They walked over to their bed – hand in hand. Bette placed a hand behing Tina’s head – and one behind her back. She gently lowered her to the bed. “Relax Tina…please relax…” Bette climbed into the bed – pressing her body against Tina’s. She loved the way Tina’s protruding belly felt against hers. She felt the babies kick. “My God T…did you feel that?”

Tina stared into Bette’s eyes. “Yeah Babe – I did – you did too, huh?”

Tears filled Bette’s eyes. “Yeah, I did…I did…”

They both looked deeply into each others eyes as their hands found those secret places – the places that made the other crazy with desire.

Bette and Tina continued to gaze into each others eyes as they went over the edge together.

Bette whispered to Tina, “I just need to hear … those sweet words…”

Tina smiled at Bette. “I love you…”

“I love you too T.”
