Listening to the phone ring a second and then a third time, it became apparent that neither Tina nor Bette were going to make the first move to get the phone. Tina was completely content to just hold her wife close, reveling in the smell of her skin and the sweet musk of their lovemaking. Even with the slight discomfort of her silk robe bunched beneath the small of her back, feeling Bettes weight pressing against her felt like heaven to Tina at that moment. Moving her hands along Bettes back, gliding over the sweat just starting to dry, Tina clasped her hands over the dip of Bettes lower back.


Baby, arent you gonna answer the phone?


No. Bette answered, choosing instead to prop her chin on her hands and gaze down adoringly at her wife.


No?


Nope. Whoever it is can just leave a message.riiiiightnow, Bette grinned as the beep sounded, informing whoever was calling that her and Tina were currently unavailable, but if whoever it was left their name, number and a brief message, theyd be glad to call them back at their earliest convenience. Seeing as how being naked and entangled with her wife didnt quite qualify as a convenient time, Bette figured she had a little time before returning the phone call.


Turning their heads at the same time in the direction of the answering machine, Bette and Tina were just able to make out the voice on the other end.


Alice!!


Tina laughed as Bette engaged in an over-dramatic eye roll at the sound of Alices voice.


Why is she calling here at Bette said, as she craned her neck to look at the alarm clock sitting on the table by the bed, 7:30 in the morning?


HmmmI dont know, baby. Lets just listen to the message. Tina answered, distracted by the sleek column of her wifes neck. Tightening her stomach muscles, she arched up, placing a warm, wet kiss at the base of Bettes throat. Unclasping her hands and laying her palms flat against the curve of Bettes *****, Tina lightly ran her palms over and across the smooth skin, feeling the muscles jump when she hit a sensitive spot. Continuing to play her lips over Bettes throat and up along her jawbone, Tina didnt hear the message Alice was leaving. Instead choosing to concentrate on the low, breathy moans coming from Bettes lips, which were slowly making their way towards her own.


Following her wifes lead, Bette chose to tune out whatever message Alice was leaving in lieu of devoting all her focus to the lips and teeth that were currently nibbling along her jaw. Gently gripping Tinas golden tresses between her slim fingers, Bette placed the gentlest of kisses on Tinas lips. Holding the kiss for a brief second before pulling away slowly, loving the small sucking sound their lips made. Whispering a soft I love you, Tee, Bette began to softly kiss her wife. Alternating between kissing and lightly licking her bottom lip and sliding her lips up to let Tina play with her bottom lip, they kissed languidly, content to express their affection in the most intimate way two people can. Their tongues would touch every so often, soft and flat, moving first over the slight roughness before continuing on to the smooth underside. With only their lips still moving, sliding wet and warm and swollen against each other, Bette and Tina began to temper their passion from earlier in the morning, letting the fire simmer for now. Both knew that with the slightest increase in pressure, a small tug on a bottom lip, the first feeling of muscles tensing for motion, that it would be on again. That the love and lust that flowed like blood through their veins would spark and ignite and they would have no choice but to succumb to the conflagration.


Hearing the faint beep in the background indicating that Alices message was over, Tina eased her lips away from Bette, unable to contain the happy grin pulling at the corners of her mouth. Stretching her arms above her head, purposely arching her back and pressing her body into Bette, Tina settled her arms behind her head, still grinning at Bette.


As much as Id love to lay here with you all day, baby, this floor isnt as comfortable as it was a little while ago, Tina said, shifting her hips a bit to emphasize her point.


Wiggling her hips back, Bette laughed and winked at her wife. Yeah? Thats funny because Im perfectly comfortable.


Hardy har har, Tina replied, imitating Bettes earlier eye roll perfectly and earning another chuckle from her wife, who seemed to be enjoying the top position just a bit too much. Come on baby, what do you say..me, you, a warm shower?


At those words, Bette stopped her wiggling and laughing and fixed Tina with a more serious stare. A shower, huh?


Mmmm-hmmm.


Leaning down and placing a soft kiss on Tinas right cheek, Bette asked, You?


Yes.


Placing a soft kiss to Tinas left cheek, Bettes voice dropped an octave as she asked, Me?


Yesssss, Tina answered back, closing her eyes briefly.


I think.*kiss*that sounds*kiss*..perfect.


Dropping a soft kiss to Tinas lips, Bette effortlessly pushed herself off the floor and extended a hand to her wife, pulling her gently off the floor. Placing her warm hands on either side of Tinas hips, Bette slowly turned them until her back was towards the bathroom door. Taking a couple of steps back, Bette raked her gaze over Tinas body, taking in the silk robe, barely hanging on to those beautiful shoulders. Her ***** hung full and heavy, dusky nipples peeking out from the edge of the robe. With the light falling behind Tina, the shadows cast by the open robe caressed wide swathes of her body. Falling over ribs, kissing across the dip of her hip bone, holding tight to the lines of her taut stomach, laying gently down the expanse of her toned legs, and finally coming to rest haphazardly in random patterns across the damp curls at the juncture of Tinas legs.


Beautiful, Bette whispered, barely able to draw her next breath.


Hearing Bettes sharp intake of breath, Tina started to walk towards Bette. On the surface it would appear that she was drawn to that sound, drawn to the desire burning behind Bettes eyes. But deep down, Tina wanted to draw that breath out of Bette again. Wanted to push back with the flame burning within her own body and let it consume them both.


As she got closer, Tina shrugged the robe from her shoulders, letting it pool at her feet. Moving until she was inches from her wifes body, Tina caught Bettes gaze, her heartbeat jumping at the look Bette was giving her. Pausing for the briefest moment, Tina sidestepped Bettes body, letting her ***** brush against her upper arm as she slid her left hand into Bettes, lightly grasping her fingers. Never looking back, Tina gently pulled Bette behind her and strode purposefully towards the shower.


Neither one even noticing the blinking red light, flashing its silent reminder that there was still a message waiting to be heard.
