So what is that you do, Bette? asked Robert, genuinely interested.

The conversation had flowed easily over dinner. Theyd discussed Tinas childhood, much to Bettes amusement and Tinas embarrassment, her mothers cooking and her fathers recent interest in golf. The subject of Eric hadnt even been raised.

Im the director of an art gallery Bette replied.

Tina, help me clear these things away Carol stood up.

Let me help you Bette offered.

No, youre the guest. Stay here and talk to Robert, Im sure ***** be fascinated to here all about your work

Tina and her mother cleared the table while her father and Bette had a brief conversation about art. When Tina and Carol were safely in the kitchen out of earshot he turned to her.

Bette, theres something I need to discuss with you

Sure

Its Tina. I wasnt really sure how to bring this up so Im just going to say it

Bette felt like her heart had stopped beating. This really didnt sound good. What was there about Tina that she had to know? She held her breath while she waited for him to finish what he was saying.

Its clear to me shes in love with you he stated.

I Bette was caught off guard.

The way she talks about you, and then theres the way she looks at you he continued I know my daughter, Bette

Mr Kennard Bette started.

Robert

Robert, II dont know what you want me to say Bette struggled for words.

I want you to tell me that you feel the same and that you arent going to break my little girls heart

Bette stared at him what makes you think were even together?

Bette, come on Robert raised his eyebrows.

Okay, Robert I swear to you the last thing in the world I ever want to do is hurt Tina. I love her more than anything Bette admitted.

Robert smiled then you and me are gonna get on fine

Im glad Bette smiled in return.

You take good care of my baby, Bette

Shes my baby too, you know. Of course I will

Tina and Carol re-entered the room, laughing.

I hope you two have been getting on okay Tina looked at them.

Just fine Bette smiled up at her.

Well Im feeling pretty tired so I think Im gonna call it a night. Bette?

Ill join you

Bette got up and Robert took hold of her arm as Carol said goodnight to Tina.

My wife knows nothing, but maybe Tina should tell her he whispered.

Thats why were here she replied.

Bette and Tina went upstairs, got changed and lay down on the bed.

So what were you and Dad talking about? Tina asked.

T, your fathers a good man. He cares about you a lot

Tina seemed contented with the reply and curled up with her back to Bette. Bette fitted her body around Tinas and draped an arm over her. She nuzzled into her neck and planted soft kisses.

Thank you for being here baby Tina mumbled.

Its okay Bette stroked Tinas stomach and continued to kiss her neck you wanna go to sleep?

Depends what the alternative is came the reply.

Bette didnt answer, but ran her hand down to the waistband of Tinas pyjama pants. She slid her fingers under the soft material and slowly started to stroke Tina, who moaned softly.

Im awake

Good Bette whispered.

She slid two fingers into Tina and rubbed her ***** with her thumb. Biting her earlobe gently, she felt Tinas thighs clench to hold her hand in place.

OhhhhBette Tina groaned.

Bette continued to move her fingers in and out of Tina, who arched her back to press their bodies closer together. She felt Bettes hardened nipples against her back and groaned again.

Ssh baby, we gotta be quiet Bette whispered.

But you feelso goodohh

Bette licked Tinas neck slowly in contrast to the now-fast pace that her fingers were thrusting at.

I love you so much T Bette breathed.

Tina tried to reply but just ended up groaning again. Bette pushed firmly on her ***** and thrust her fingers harder.

FuckBetteIm gonna come

Bette moved her free hand to cover Tinas mouth and sucked on her earlobe, but didnt relent with the pace of her fingers.

Come baby, I wanna feel you come she whispered into Tinas ear.

Bette felt Tinas muscles jerk and her body shake, and heard her muffled groans. She slid out her fingers and wrapped her arms tightly around Tina.

I love you too, Bette

Mmm Bette snuggled against Tina.

Tina rolled over partially and kissed Bette gently. They parted their mouths and let their tongues flick against each other. Tina planted one last kiss on Bettes lips and rolled back over. She took hold of Bettes hand and held it against her stomach.

He knows T Bette whispered, almost inaudibly.
