"Another Night"

Tina let a small smile come to her lips as she felt the bed sink with the familiar weight as Bette slipped in behind her into their bed. Lying on her side, her back to her partner, she felt one of Bette’s hand reach under her waist, the other snaked up under the t-shirt, which was all she was wearing.

The lower hand pushed against her pubis, drawing her into Bette. Tina could feel the other woman’s body pushing against her. With one hand, Bette’s practiced fingers teased the outside of her labia; with the other, the fingers danced between Tina’s nipples.

Attempting to force Bette to move faster, Tina thrust her hips forward. She let out a moan in frustration as Bette pulled her hand back, stifling Tina’s attempt to draw her lover’s fingers inside of her.

"Not yet," Bette whispered into Tina’s ear, a sound that was as much warm breath as low purr.

As Tina gave another frustrated sob, she felt Bette suck in her earlobe. Needing a closer connection with her partner, Tina turned her head, trying to capture Bette’s mouth with hers.

But Bette responded with a slight wink and pulled away, lifting herself from the bed.

Tina’s eyes remained focused on Bette, her lover keeping maintaining eye contact as she backed from the bed. Bette was dressed as she had been the night of the Provocations opening, wearing the black suit.

Although she tried to follow Bette, Tina was unable to move herself from the bed. She struggled, but to no use; her body remained in place.

By this time Bette had reached the far side of the room, near the door. Awaiting her there was Candace, also dressed as she had been that night, the sleeveless white vest accentuating both her dark skin and her well-developed arms, the plunging neckline accentuating her *****.

Bette grabbed Candace’s hand, just as she had that night. But rather than letting the hand drop, she pulled the other woman forward, drawing her close. Their lips met with the kiss that Tina had been denied.

Giving a throaty laugh, Bette pulled Candace from the room, leaving Tina alone, immobile, in the bed.

With a great burst of effort, Tina struggled and pulled herself free, pitching herself from the bed, only to smack her arm on the floor, bringing herself fully to consciousness.
