As if to prove the point she flipped Tina over so that she was on her hands and knees above her face. She dragged her tongue starting at her clit to her center.  Over and over again she licked her sending her higher with each pass of her tongue. She was open and gaping with her need.   ‘Only you babe, only you, oh god yes…’ She cried out urgently.  She was grinding herself against the lips and tongue that tortured her. She could feel her juices flowing with ease out of her.  ‘Take what’s yours’ she demanded freezing above her, open in more ways than she could name.  

            ‘It’s always been yours. Take me damn it.’

            With a laziness that threatened to kill her, Bette pulled her more firmly onto her mouth and impaled her with her tongue. As if her domination wasn’t complete she lost it when Bette’s fingers pinched her nipples as she rode her mouth with utter abandon.  As she came she cried in love and in joy.  She was sobbing with such force when she came that it scared Bette who gathered her quickly in her arms. ‘T what’s wrong?’  The strong arms held and rocked her.  When she was finally able to she spoke of what was in her heart.

            “Bette, this is it.  I know it sounds sappy but I was born to love and be loved by you.  There is no other love for me, it’s you. It’s always been you.”

            “So when are you coming home?” The brunette asked holding her breath.

            “Didn’t I mention that, I’m Home to Stay?”

            Tina made a large breakfast light fluffy scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and fruit.  She was pouring a cup of coffee when she felt Bette’s arms close around her waist and her lips nuzzle her neck.

            “You smell good. Why didn’t you join me in the shower?”

            “You wouldn’t have gotten any breakfast if I did.”

            “Tina Kennard, the breakfast of champions” Bette returned.

            “Go get our daughter she must be up by now.” Tina swatted her playfully.

            “Spoilsport” Bette grumbled leaving the kitchen as directed.

            They spent the day in the yard.  Tina tended to the garden that Bette had neglected over the time they had been apart.  Angelica was fascinated by the activity and was actually quite helpful.  Bette’s heart swelled with pride as she looked at her family.  She felt content.  She was not aware that she had drifted off to sleep until Tina kissed her gently.

            When Bette was able to focus the events of the last twenty four hours seemed unreal.  Had she really made love all night long with Tina?  Did Tina actually tell her that she was home to stay? 

            “T” she asked groggily, “when did you say you were leaving?”

            “The 12^th of never.”

            “That’s what I thought you said” Bette smiled as she drifted off once again.  “Never works for me.”
