Chapter 20

The playful waves were still softly crushing into their ankles but all they could feel was each other. The kiss had prolonged itself only breaking it occasionally to let some much needed air to get inside their lungs and to allow their faces to keep on finding new positions against each other. Their bodies still clutched against one another.

After what seemed like the most pleasant eternity she had ever experience, Tina decided to break the kiss. All her senses were telling her otherwise, but her body was starting to overheat as well as her mind was starting to overload with the need to feel all of Bette all over her, a need she was not yet ready to handle and most certainly not in the middle of the beach. Tina buried her face into Bette’s neck allowing her body to slightly rest against Bette’s not ready to break all contact with the brunette, not wanting to break all contact with the woman who had just set her body on fire.

Bette was not quite sure how to interpret the fact that Tina had broken the kiss, but she certainly was not up to analyze anything at this moment. That kiss had put her in a state she was not at all familiar with and not able to shake yet. She had kissed many women in her life, maybe more than she could even recall but none had ever made her feel complete and at home like Tina’s lips. There was this familiarity, this communication and this incredible chemistry between them when they kissed that was not only driving Bette insane with its hotness, but it was also making her feel safe and at home. And again she had never experienced anything of the sort.

They were just there, feeling their hearts beat against one another. Tina had not yet emerged from her new favourite hiding spot, not able to recover from such a trance. But still there was this one question filtering through her thoughts, and she had to ask Bette, how could she not…

“Bette” Tina whispered into Bette’s ear showing to her that she was not ready or willing to leave that comfortable place she had found to herself.

“Uhh?” was all Bette could manage to reply, pulled down from her cloud by Tina’s single word.
