The contented couple lay back on the sun lounger, with Tina leaning against the back and Bette settled comfortably between her legs. They were relishing this time to themselves just to freely appreciate each other's company.
"Bette?" asked the blonde, quietly breaking their silent contemplation.
"Yeah?"
"You know that night at SheBar?"
The brunette tilted her head so that she could see Tina's face "What about it?"
"What made you kiss me?"
Bette exhaled "That's a loaded question"
The brunette leant back so that her back was pressed to Tina's front, and she interlinked their hands, their fingers caressing each other.
"Ok…" the brunette started "I'll admit that I was jealous of Brenda. I'd heard too many details about your date with her, I even took my frustrations out on Jodi at that self defense class"
"You did?"
"Yeah….I may have punched a little hard when she had the pads"
"You had no reason to be jealous Bette" the blonde soothed.
"That doesn't change the fact that I was. I just…I couldn't believe you slept with her on the first date. It was so unlike you T"
Tina bit her lip "It had been a while. And it wasn't like I had any intentions of anything serious happening between us. I don't know, it's different when you just see it as something casual"
"It's ok" the brunette said softly, her thumbs stroking the backs of Tina's hands "you were single, you had every right to sleep with whoever you wanted. I just didn't realise how much it would be bother me. I knew from that day here that I was still attracted to you, but I thought maybe that's all it was – attraction"
"What made you change your mind?"
"After that day I started to look at you differently. I started to realise that when I was spending time with Jodi, I was still thinking of you. And then with Brenda…I was insanely jealous"
"I'm sorry" the blonde whispered.
"Hey, maybe it was the kick up the ass that I needed. But then you kept bringing up Jodi in conversations with me, and it drove me crazy! 'Cause when I was with you I wanted to talk about anything but!"
"I had no idea. And I figured if I mentioned her enough it would get into my head that you were hers, that I needed to get over my feelings for you"
"Well that night…it was one time too many. I needed to show you that I didn't feel lucky to have her, that the only time I felt lucky was when I was with you" the brunette explained softly.
"Then why did you cry sweetheart?" Tina ased gently.
"I don't know…I just got overwhelmed by everything…I was so lost…and I realised in that moment how much I needed you"
"I guess it's a good job that my heart's always belonged to you then, isn't it?"
A smile spread across the brunettes face and she lifted the blondes hand to her mouth and kissed it softly.
"Thank you" Bette whispered.
"For what?"
"For being you. For putting up with me. For helping me win Jodi back when it must have been killing you. You're the only person I know who can truly put someone elses feelings before their own. And most of all, for giving me this chance"
"I could never truly let you go" the blonde breathed into her lovers ear.
Sighing contentedly, the brunette closed her eyes and stretched her body out, loving the feeling of Tina's body pressing against hers. Her hands rested over the blondes and she placed them on top of her thighs, her legs bent up on the lounger.
"You know you're the only person I ever let hold me like this" she admitted.
The blonde couldn't hide the smile that spread across her face "Seriously?"
"Yeah" the brunette blushed "with everyone else it was always me holding them. I guess I never felt comfortable enough to be that vulnerable with anyone"
"You never did like to give up control did you?"
"I'm trying to learn T, I'm trying to change"
"It's part of who you are Bette, and I love that side of you. I knew how alpha you were when I fell in love with you, and certainly when I got back together with you. I've always been so proud to watch you at work, taking complete control, and believe me, I love the way you take control in the bedroom"
"I sense a but coming…"
"You've changed more than you realise babe. The most important place for you to give up control is in our relationship, to realise that there's two of us in this partnership and that we both matter equally. And lately you've been doing that. And you know what the most noticeable change is?"
"What?"
"You've been able to give up complete control in the bedroom. Babe you would never have let me fuck you before"
"Get that smirk off your face"
"Bette, you can't see my face" the blonde pointed out.
"But I know the exact look you've got on right now"
Tina couldn't disagree. She was smirking at the thought of how Bette was willing to give up control of her body to her.
"Ok, so maybe I am smirking. But I don't think you quite realise that this was the final step. The bedroom has always been your domain. Sex was your speciality and so you were always in charge. The fact that you're willing to give up that control to me shows me just how far you've come"
With a smile of her own, the brunette turned her head to let the blonde lean down and kiss her. Their hands squeezed together as the passion between them rose. Taking Tina's bottom lip between hers, the brunette flicked out her tongue, earning a groan from the blonde. The kiss grew forceful, both of them clearly excited by their conversation and the close proximity of their barely clothed bodies.
Bette broke the kiss to catch her breath, her pupils dilated as her gaze burned into the blondes.
"You want control of my body?" she asked huskily.
"God yes" breathed Tina.
Bette closed her eyes and ran their conjoined hands up her body, trailing over her taut abs to cup her breasts. The blonde gasped as she felt the brunettes hardened nipples pressing against her hands.
"Looks like someone enjoyed thinking about giving up control" she breathed in Bette's ear, taking the lobe between her teeth.
"Only to you T, only to you"
The brunette let go of Tina's hands, leaving the blonde to her own devices. Tina began to massage the soft mounds of flesh, loving the way that the brunettes nipples were begging to be set free from the flimsy material that covered them.
She lifted the bikini top up, revealing the dark nipples to both her eyes and hands. Immediately her fingers were back on the brunettes breasts, cupping them while her thumbs began to rub over the straining nipples. She increased her motions so that rubbing became flicking, with each movement sending a jolt between Bette's legs. The brunettes head was tilted back against Tina's shoulder, allowing the blonde to look down her body with a smile on her face. The blonde brought her thumbs to her mouth, wetting them before returning them to the brunettes nipples.
Bette gasped at the increased sensations that the blondes wet thumbs brought. With every flick of her thumb, the brunette could imagine the same movement being replicated on her clit. Her legs were parted, and though her bikini bottoms had dried from the time in the pool, they were dampening once again from a different kind of wetness.
The blonde was revelling in the free and full access she had to her lovers body. She watched intently as the brunettes nipples seemed to do the impossible and harden even more beneath her gaze. She tugged on them, earning a groan from Bette, who's hands were on the arms of the lounger, gripping tightly. Tina knew that it was killing the brunette to just lie there and let her have her way with her, but she also knew that secretly Bette relished these moments when she could focus entirely on the pleasure that she would undoubtedly receive.
"Please…" the brunette whimpered.
"What baby?" Tina teased.
"…I need you…"
"Patience my darling, remember I'm in control…"
"T…I don't have any patience…" hissed Bette.
"Well then I'm helping you learn"
The brunette growled, her back arching as if to prove her desperation.
"Is this making you wet baby?" the blonde asked sweetly, rolling Bette's nipples between her thumbs and fingers.
"You know it is"
"Just focus on what my fingers are doing babe, let yourself enjoy it"
The brunette took a deep breath and tried to ignore the ache between her thighs. She followed the blondes orders and focused her attention on the pleasurable pain being created by her lovers attack on her nipples. She clenched the sides of the lounger, her breathing hitched as the blonde began to tug more firmly.
"Take your bottoms off for me babe" the blonde ordered in her ear.
Bette hastily complied, lifting her hips to slide off her bikini bottoms and cast them aside. She swallowed as the outside air came into contact with the wetness between her legs, causing the ache to grow further.
"Mmm" Tina moaned "God I love your body"
The blonde looked down, admiring the perfection that was Bette Porter. She gazed past the flat stomach to the strip of hair between her legs, her thighs spread in an attempt to entice the blondes fingers. Keeping one hand massaging the brunettes breast, Tina let her other hand roam across her stomach, feeling the toned muscles twitching under her touch.
"I can't believe this is all mine to touch" she marvelled.
"Yes…it's yours…so please just touch me!" pleaded the brunette.
The blonde let out a throaty chuckle in her lovers ear.
"You want me to touch you here?" she teased, her fingers stroking lazily across Bette's neat strip of hair.
"Lower" hissed the brunette.
"Here?" the blonde whispered, lowering her fingers to run up and down the brunette's outer lips.
"Further…in…" grunted Bette through gritted teeth.
"Ohhhhhh, you want me to touch you here?" Tina grinned to herself as she let her finger graze the brunettes clit.
"Yessssss"
"But what if I don't want to touch you there?"
The brunette was whimpering at the extent of the blondes teasing. Tina ran a finger around the brunettes throbbing clit, taking care not to touch it. She loved the feeling of the quivering brunette in her arms, knowing that she held complete power over her pleasure.
Without warning she simultaneously flicked the Bette's nipple and clit, causing the brunette to jump. She then returned to circling, only this time she made absolutely certain that her finger was in complete contact with the brunette's sensitive nub. She licked the index finger of her other hand and began mirroring the same action on Bette's nipple.
"T…" moaned the brunette.
All Bette could do was lie there and let the pleasure take over her. The circles that the blonde was making on her most sensitive spots were creating a rhythm that her hips involuntarily matched, rolling herself backwards and forwards to seek more contact. She was always amazed with how easily the blonde could manipulate her body, reducing her to a quivering wreck with the simplest touches. She arched her back, presenting herself fully to Tina, at a loss for words as she revelled in the feeling that the blonde was quite simply touching her everywhere that she could possibly want.
"Your clit's so hard baby" the blonde purred, bringing a covering of goosebumps to the brunettes body.
"Uhh" was all that Bette could manage in reply.
"It's not like you to be lost for words…maybe I should do all the talking"
The brunette nodded her head furiously, knowing that the sound of Tina's voice was pushing her closer and closer to the edge.
"You've lost all the power baby…you have no control over how hard your clit gets…how wet you get…all that power lies with me"
Bette gulped. It was true and she knew it. It was her own body, but the blonde had complete control of it.
"Because if I do this" Tina sped up the circles on both the brunettes nipple and clit "it makes your hips go faster"
The brunette moaned, knowing full well that the speed at which her hips were rising off the lounger had indeed increased.
"And if I play with your pussy" breathed the blonde, her fingers working down to stroke the spot just above the brunettes entrance "I know you'll get wetter for me"
Immediately the comination of Tina's words and actions sent a flood of wetness through the brunette. She slid down slightly, letting her legs fall off the sides of the lounger so that her feet were on the floor.
"Mmm you've spread youself so wide for me babe"
The brunette was helpless. She was completely vulnerable, but yet she felt safe. Safe and unbelievably turned on. Add the danger element of the fact they were in her backyard in daylight to the way in which the blonde was playing her body like an instrument, and Bette was a woman on the edge.
"And if I do this" Tina drawled in the brunette's ear, pressing down on her clit and rubbing firmly "I know I can make you come"
Bette tried desperately to fight it, attempting to regain an ounce of control, but her attempts were futile. The second the blondes words rang in her ear, she was gone. Her hips rose, the lower half of her body completely leaving the lounger as her face contorted in a silent scream. Tina held onto her upper body tightly with one arm while her fingers continued to rub the brunettes clit, drawing out the orgasm.
Eventually the brunettes body came back down from her high and she slumped back against Tina. The blonde wrapped her arms around Bette's torso, her nose rubbing against her cheek.
"So was that enough proof for you?" Tina smirked.
"Huh?"
"That I can take complete and utter control of your body"
"T…I don't think there was ever any doubt about that"
