Bette stood still as she felt Tina’s tongue on her lips. That was all the encouragement she needed to deepen the kiss. She didn’t want to scare Tina, so she let Tina explore her mouth. There was no dueling of tongues, no fighting for control…just the savoring of the texture of the mouth and tongue. Bette let out a moan when she felt Tina’s fingers rake her biceps before grabbing the back of her head. She felt the blonde strain against her…felt Tina’s breasts against her own.

“Tee…” she whispered when there was a break in their kissing.

Tina didn’t know what came over. She leaned her forehead against Bette’s. “I’m sorry…I don’t know what came over me. I just wanted to kiss you and so I did.”

“Please don’t apologize for kissing me. Never apologize for that because I wanted to do the same thing…you just beat me to it.” Bette took Tina’s face in her hands and kissed the blonde.

This time there was the dueling of tongues…where one would feint the other would parry. Bette backed Tina against one of the pergola’s post. They were cloaked in the darkness the morning glory vines offered.

Chapter 7

Tina cupped the back of Bette’s head with one hand and placed her other hand on her hip.  Their bodies strained against each other. Tina let out a moan. Her chest heaved against Bette’s. This was the first time she had kissed another woman and it was heavenly. She savored the feel of Bette’s velvet tongue against her own. Bette tasted of berries with a hint of pepper from the wine she had consumed earlier. She couldn’t get enough of the brunette who had captured her attention from the moment she sat down next to her in the theatre. She wanted to get drink Bette in and consume her and be consumed by her. She let out another moan as she pressed her body against the brunette.

Bette had never felt what she was feeling with the blonde before. Yes, she had slept with women before, but there was something about Tina that made her…made her want to just be with her.  Never in her adult life had she felt that way. She let out a gasp when Tina pressed her body against hers.
