Bette took a deep breath and stood up, all the while her eyes never leaving Tina. She walked slowly towards her and only stopped when she was stood inches away from the blonde. Placing her hands against the door on either side of Tina's head, Bette leant forward so that her forehead was resting against the blondes and she closed her eyes.

"I need to know that you aren't gonna run again" Bette whispered.

Tina's breathing had already grown erratic. She moved her hands to run up and down Bette's sides before bringing them to rest on her hips.

"Talk to me T…" encouraged Bette.

"Kiss me, please" Tina begged softly.

"Tina, I need you to know that this time…if I start kissing you, I'm not gonna be able to stop"

The blonde slid her hands up to cup Bette's cheeks and forcibly moved the brunettes head back a couple of inches, causing her to open her eyes. She stared deep into them, her own hazel eyes burning with want as she felt herself drowning in the dark soulfulness of the brunettes.

"I don't want you to stop" she whispered breathily.

Bette groaned and parted her lips slightly. Slowly and deliberately, she removed Tina's hands from her cheeks. Keeping hold of them, she pressed their clasped hands against the door on either side of Tina, effectively pinning her to it. Their eyes remained glued to one another as they both tried to read each other's thoughts. Bette was reassured by what she found in the blondes eyes. She tilted her head downwards and brushed her lips against Tina's. Both women exhaled deeply as they parted their lips slightly and Tina leant her head back against the door, feeling as though she no longer had any control over her body. Bette took this opportunity to step in even closer, her body pressed against the blondes. Their fingers curled together, intertwined, as they deepened the kiss. Tina's lips parted further to welcome Bette's tongue. The brunette swirled her tongue in Tina's mouth, and as their tongues made contact with one another the two women moaned into each other's mouths. Bette released Tina's hands and trailed her fingers up and down the blondes forearms. Despite the removal of her restraints, Tina was paralysed by the actions of the brunette and couldn't move her hands from their position above her head. She broke the kiss by lowering her head slightly and paused for a moment.

"Tina?" the concern was evident in Bette's voice.

"I…I can't stand up" Tina breathed.

"Yes you can, babe" Bette whispered, leaning in to kiss Tina on the cheek.

Bette moved her hands to Tina's waist and felt the blondes arms fall by her side. She leant in and took Tina's top lip between hers, sucking on it gently as she started to slide the blondes jumper up. Tina moaned and lifted her arms to allow Bette to pull off her jumper. As the unwanted article of clothing was cast aside, Bette's hands moved to cup the blondes face as she resumed her assault on her mouth. Tina wrapped her arms around the brunettes waist, trying to steady herself as she felt her tongue brush against Bette's. She felt the brunettes hands slide down her neck to her collar, breaking the kiss to look down. Their foreheads rested together as Bette slowly began unbuttoning Tina's shirt.

"Is this ok?" Bette asked.

Tina just nodded, feeling herself to be no longer capable of speaking.

Bette pulled back slightly so that she could see Tina's face "No words T?"

Tina's eyes widened as she tried to get her point across "I…I…"

Bette just smiled and leant down placing a soft kiss on Tina's lips. But this wasn't enough for the blonde, who reached her hand up to the back of Bette's neck and pulled her in, deepening the kiss. The brunette groaned at this unexpected move, and spurred on by Tina's movements, she increased the pace with which she was unbuttoning her shirt. As she reached the bottom she broke away from the kiss once more to look down and appreciate the skin which her unbuttoning had revealed.

"God, you're beautiful" Bette breathed, her finger tracing Tina's collarbone.

Tina blushed. She wasn't used to anyone paying her such open compliments.

"Hey…" Bette used a finger to lift Tina's chin, forcing her to meet her gaze "look at me"

Tina looked shyly at Bette.

"You're beautiful, ok?"

Tina looked into Bette's eyes and could only see adoration. This compliment was genuine, her eyes couldn't hide that.

"Thank you" she whispered.

Bette smiled at her, thinking about how cute the blonde was. She leant down and began kissing her shoulder as she slowly slid off the shirt, gradually exposing more of the blondes soft skin. Tina could feel goosebumps spreading across her skin as the brunettes tongue trailed along her collarbone. She had been with women before, when she was in college, but none of them had ever taken the time to appreciate her body in the way that Bette was. Her shirt fell to the ground and she felt the brunette's fingers dragging up her arms. She allowed her own hands to slide under the back of Bette's top and began to caress the soft skin that she found. She thought back to the morning when she had seen the toned back fully exposed and felt a stirring between her legs. Now she knew that she could see that back fully displayed for her own enjoyment if she wanted without having to sneak a glance, and the thought excited her greatly.

"Turn around" she whispered huskily.

Bette arched an eyebrow in surprise. So far she had felt entirely in control of this liaison, but now she would be submitting to the blonde, something she wasn't used to doing. But Tina was nothing like any woman she had ever been with before. She planted a gentle kiss on the blondes lips before turning around. She felt herself shivering slightly in anticipation of the blondes touch.

Tina ran her fingers slowly over the slight gap of skin that was exposed between Bette's top and pyjama bottoms. Tracing the lines of the brunette's lower back, she knew that she wanted to take time over this exploration. She took hold of the hem of the top and began to slowly slide it up, her fingers grazing the mocha skin. As every new inch of skin was exposed she felt herself getting more and more turned on. Bette felt the cold air hitting her back, but it was soon replaced by the warmth of Tina's hands. With the top cast aside, Tina placed her palms flat on the toned back before her and ran them up and down. As she took in every contour, she felt her breathing grow more laboured as she thought about what awaited her on the other side of this beautiful body. She took her index finger and ran it slowly down the brunettes spine, antagonisingly slow in Bette's opinion. Tina watched the muscles ripple beneath her fingers as she took her time exploring Bette's back.

"T…you're killing me here" Bette breathed.

The blonde just smiled as she started to run her fingers around Bette's waist. She stepped in close to the brunettes body as her hands moved round to caress her toned stomach and she planted a soft kiss between her shoulder blades. Her fingers stroked the naked skin as she kissed her way across the brunettes upper back, her tongue stretching out to taste her skin. Bette's mouth hung open and her breathing grew heavy, she couldn't believe just how amazing this woman's hands and mouth felt on her skin. Her head fell back as she gasped for breath. Immediately the blonde took advantage, and moved her mouth to kiss the newly exposed neck that was stretched out before her. Trailing her tongue up, she took Bette's earlobe in her mouth and flicked her tongue over it.

"God….Tina…." stammered Bette.

Bette had never felt anything like it. She had never been so turned on by something so simple. The ache between her legs was growing stronger, she felt as though she was on the edge already and Tina hadn't even touched her properly. The blondes hands moved to grip Bette's upper arms and she squeezed them tenderly. The brunette turned her head further and her mouth met Tina's. Their lips crashed together hungrily, their tongues battling for dominance. Both women knew that they were beyond denial now, they had passed the point of no return. Neither of them could deny the strength of the feelings that they had for one another, and Bette thought that she had never been so turned on in her life. As their tongues danced together, Bette spun round and pulled Tina to her. Their arms wrapped round each other, their bare skin pressed together. They were kissing with a frantic pace now, and Tina wove her fingers into Bette's hair, pulling her downwards, desperate for more of her. Wanting to even up the score on the state of undress, Bette ran her hands up Tina's back to the clasp on her bra. Just as she began to unhook it, she was rudely interrupted by a buzzing coming from the blondes waist.

"Officer Kennard?" the screechy tone of Officer Hollamby pierced the air in the room.

"Shit" Tina took a step back and fumbled with the radio that was hooked on her waistband before pressing the button and speaking in to it "Yes?"

At that moment, Tina looked up and caught her first glimpse of Bette's breasts. Her mouth hung open as she stared at the brunettes bare chest. She shook her head slightly to try and bring herself round to focus on whatever it was that Sylvia wanted.

"Are you even listening to me?" Officer Hollamby asked.

"Sorry, it went a little fuzzy" Tina replied, trying to control her breathing.

"I asked where on earth you were"

"Sorry Sylvia, I'm up on the threes, a few of the women were playing up"

Bette looked at her and grinned.

"Well get yoursef back down here won't you? I'm falling asleep and could do with some fresh air" Officer Hollamby moaned.

Tina rolled her eyes "On my way Sylvia"

And with that, Tina clicked off the radio and turned to Bette "I'm really sorry babe, I'm gonna have to go"

Bette nodded and put her top back on "I understand"

"Can we take a rain check? I'm not running, I promise" Tina looked over at Bette as she buttoned up her shirt.

Bette smiled "I know, it's ok. I'll hold you to that"

"Thank you" Tina smiled shyly as she finished with her shirt and pulled on her jumper.

Bette stepped forward to fix Tina's jumper before looking her up and down "Looking good"

Tina blushed "Goodnight Bette, sweet dreams"

"Oh they will be" Bette grinned "Night Tina"

As the blonde officer left the cell, Bette lay back down on her bed, unable to wipe the grin off of her face. She reached down below the waistband of her pyjama bottoms and raised her eyebrows in surprise. She knew that she was turned on, but had no idea that Tina had caused her to get this wet. She slipped her finger between her folds and closed her eyes, allowing her head to be filled with images of Tina. As she brought herself quickly to orgasm, all she could picture was the lustful look in the blondes eyes and the soft curves of her body. For the first night since she had been in the prison, she slept soundly, her dreams no longer haunted by a beauiful blonde, but instead filled by her.

The next day Bette couldn't hide the smile on her face.

"Someone's looking a bit happy today" Shane said, poking her in the ribs.

"Yeah well, I just feel like I've got a whole wait off my shoulders what with getting rid of Jodie yesterday" Bette explained.

Shane just smiled knowingly.

"Oi, where's Helena?" Denny asked, sitting down to join them for breakfast.

Nikki jumped in to explain "She wasn't feeling well so I think she's staying in her cell"

This seemed to satisfy everyone's curiousity, and they continued on with their everyday chatter.

Meanwhile, Helena was sat on her bed in her silk pyjamas. She looked up as the door was pushed open, and wasn't surprised to see Jim Fenner standing there.

"I heard you weren't feeling too good, and thought I'd come and check on you" he said with a smile.

"That's very kind of you" Helena replied, leaning back slightly on her lower arms.

"You know" Fenner shut the door behind him and moved so that he was standing infront of Helena "I think I might have a way to make you feel better"

"Oh really?" Helena raised an eyebrow "What's that then?"

He reached down and undid his belt "I think you know"

"Isn't that against the rules Mr Fenner?" Helena looked up at him innocently.

"My job is to help the women, I'm just doing my bit" Fenner dropped his trousers.

"Are you sure we won't get in trouble?"

"Just let me take care of you"

Helena nodded as Fenner lay down on top of her. His hands moved under her top and immediately began groping at her while he slobbered on her neck. Helena bit her lip and closed her eyes, letting her thoughts take her anywhere but there. After a minute or two she could no longer take any more, and put her hands on his shoulders, causing him to pull away and look at her, confused.

"What's wrong?"

"Look, I'm not sure about this. I'm not feeling too well, and I just don't want to break any rules…"

"We're not stopping now. I was just starting to enjoy myself" Fenner glared at her.

"I'm sorry, I just don't think I want this"

"Of course you do" he reached for her again.

"I'm asking you to stop!" Helena warned him, blocking his hand.

"Come on love, you know you want it"

"No I don't. I heard about you. Did Bette have to push you off too?"

"You don't know anything you little bitch!" he snarled, fury blazing in his eyes.

"Get out of my cell"

"You're gonna regret this" he glared at her, pulling up his trousers.

"I don't think so"

As soon as he'd left her cell, Helena gathered her towel and wash bag and walked out on to the landing.

"Miss!" she called, trying to get the attention of Officer Fairbanks.

"Oh, hi Helena, are you feeling any better?"

"A little. I'd like to go for a shower if that's ok?"

"Sure. I'll walk you down there"

Helena smiled gratefully. When she got to the showers, she scrubbed herself furiously, determined to wash away any trace of the disgusting man. At the same time, Nikki was walking out of Helena's cell, grinning to herself. It was one-nil to the inmates.
