By the time Kit finished the song, not a dry eye had to be had. Everyone in the room including the wait staff stood and watched as the two women danced together; each one thinking how Bette and Tina were made for each other and this continued throughout the night.

Chapter 32

Bette wrapped the robe tightly around her, but let the belt undone as she made her way to the large windows covered with drapes. She parted two panels careful not to let too much light in their suite at the Plaza Hotel.

Had it only been a few hours ago when she and Tina finally crawled into bed? The reception had been a great success. Their friends were all happy for them and offered many congratulations during the evening. Bette smiled as she recalled the clanking of the silverware against a glass which indicated their guests had wanted to see a kiss between the two women. They did not disappoint in their public displays of affection.

Bette glanced at her sleeping wife, who was sprawled out on her stomach. The comforter barely covered Tina’s naked body. She turned back to the window and looked down at Central Park. Despite the early morning, the city was coming back to life from its brief rest. She smiled when she felt warm arms snake around her waist.

“What are you doing?” the sleepy blonde asked as she rested a cheek on Bette’s back.

“Nothing,” she replied. She wrapped Tina’s arms tighter around her and leaned back a little to Tina’s warm embrace. “Just watching.”

“Come back to bed,” Tina urged.

Bette looked out the window a final time and allowed herself to be dragged back toward the bed. “Best offer I had today.”

Tina gave Bette a Cheshire smile. “Today’s just beginning, wife.”

Bette chuckled and returned Tina’s smile. She liked hearing Tina call her wife. She stopped and pulled Tina to her, their hips colliding. She placed one hand on the small of Tina’s back and threaded her fingers in the blonde’s hair before cupping the back of Tina’s head. “Yes, just beginning.” She lowered her mouth to the blonde’s. She had meant to go slowly, but something primal took over…took over both of them. She backed Tina toward the bed, not once breaking contact.
