She walked back into the kitchen after putting Angie down for her nap and was faced once more with Bette’s back, watching as the brunette cleaned the dirty breakfast dishes. She approached the counter and leaned against it right beside Bette. She didn’t say a word and just looked on as Bette cleaned plate after plate, wanting to smile when she noticed Bette nervously avoiding her gaze. Tina liked seeing a flustered Bette, she realized.

"Bette" She said softly, "Look at me"

Bette froze in place at the sound of Tina’s request, the warm water clearing the soap from her hands. For a moment it seemed like she wouldn’t do it but sure enough, Bette found the courage to turn and look at Tina.

She looked up at the blonde so timidly, her body shaking so lightly it was hard to notice. It felt like a lifetime had passed before either woman so much as took a breath, silently conversing with their eyes.

They told each other everything they couldn’t voice, expressing themselves in a way that left no room for error.

Bette saw the want in Tina’s eyes, the longing shining in those beautiful hazels assuaging all her fears. The doubt was gone, her questions answered.

It was at that moment when she couldn’t fight it anymore.

She lunged forward and grabbed the back of Tina’s head, pulling in for a scorching kiss.

It was passionate from the very beginning, hard, deep and utterly wild. Their heads angled as their tongues sought out deeper contact, their teeth banged together, their lips only breaking apart for small gasps of air.

Whatever issue they may have had, whatever fear had kept them from being together didn’t seem to matter anymore. Nothing, except their need for more. More kisses, more touches and just . . more of each other.

Tina arched up into Bette, emitting a deep moan from the brunette that sent a shiver throughout her body. Before she even realized what was happening, Bette was backing her up against the counter until the rounded edge pressed into her rear. Lost to her desires, Tina couldn’t help but repeat her action and arched her center into Bette’s. She parted from Bette’s lips with a gasp when the brunette lifted her up, sitting her atop the marble.
