It seemed like everyone they checked in with, and had thought would be alone for Thanksgiving came – and even those who initially told the couple that they were going to be away for Thanksgiving surprisingly showed up at Bette and Tina’s.   It had been Bette’s idea to invite people they’d met or heard of who’d expected to be alone for Thanksgiving, but the brunette had assured her that most people they’d invited told them they couldn’t come or would be out of town.  What happened??!

Tina was still shaking her head at the improbability of it all as she walked to the other end of the kitchen, around the supporting wall wherein they’d had a custom wine-cooling unit installed to maintain a constant temperature and humidity in their massive floor-to-ceiling wine cabinet.  She eyed the remaining bottles Bette had selected to serve for this party, and had set out in the “serving” row within easy reach for either of them to pull out throughout the long day.  Well, the day’s festive celebrations hadn’t even gotten to its halfway point and Tina saw the row was nearly empty though.  She worriedly counted the remaining bottles.

“We could run low in an hour or so,” she thought, “I’ve gotta find Bette and ask her to pull another ten or so bottles out.”

As she considered their wine options, she felt a pair of arms encircle her waist, and familiar lips kiss the side of her neck.  She smiled as she leaned back into the warm embrace of her wife, closing her eyes to enjoy the unlikely quiet moment they were stealing, amidst the cacophony of voices, laughter, and music.

“Are you upset?,” Bette asked in that signature low sexy voice that still made Tina tingle, even feel an ache, sometimes, down in her core, particularly when carried in a whisper next to her ear.  Like now.

“If I was?,” Tina whispered back, as Bette continued kissing and licking her neck.  She moaned as Bette sucked on a tender spot near the base of a side of her neck, and then cooled it with soothing licks.

“I know a room in this place we can sneak away to,” Bette responded with a low chuckle.

Tina smiled as she lightly held the arms that embraced her, beginning to heat up, thinking of how deliciously sexy it would be for the both of them to steal away to their bedroom.
