Tina:  Why don’t we prepare for bed. We have jewelry on which I don’t want to lose.

Bette: Would you like for me to get us some wine?

Tina:  No, I think I’m fine with water.  I’ve had enough alcohol for the night. I’m going to remove my makeup and clothes and get into my robe.

Bette:  Sounds good.  I believe I will also.  Tina?  I love you so much.

Tina:  I love you too.  I just don’t think those words are adequate to express how I feel. You are my breath, my life and my love.

She then went into the bathroom and began to prepare for bed. Bette put her shoes away, emptied her purse and put the contents in her day to day purse. She then removed her jewelry and put that away. She then removed her dress and hung it in the closet. She was then in her panties and bra. She then knocked on the door and asked Tina for her robe. Tina opened the door and saw Bette in her underwear and bit her lower lip.  She quickly gave her the robe.

Tina:  I’ll be out in a moment.

Tina had removed her jewelry and clothes and had her robe on when Bette knocked on the door.  She wanted to brush her teeth and brush out her hair. It had been up in a bun and well sprayed. The rain and sea spray had made it a bit sticky and she did not want to sleep with it like that.

Bette went ahead and removed her underwear and put on her robe securing it with the cloth sash. The mood between the two was slow and easy. There was definitely arousal between the two but it was not the rushed burning hot arousal which they experience from time to time. This was a mood which would allow them to make love for hours and enjoy each other in depth. This was the mood which always resulted in a greater bonding with each other if that was possible. And the bonding was far more important for tonight than the physical release of sexual arousal.

Tina came out of the bathroom with her clothes over her arm and her jewelry in her hands.  Bette looked at her with admiring eyes and went over and wrapped her in a hug.
