Tina glanced across the aisle of the bookstore repeatedly. She was drawn to the beautiful woman standing in the section that housed what were commonly referred to as coffee table books. Those expansive tomes, filled with richly detailed photography that usually revolved around a theme. She made her way to the travel section, which by chance led her past the woman flipping through what turned out to be a book that displayed various works of art. She glanced up and smiled at Tina. Tina felt her heart rate accelerate as if an unknown assailant had surreptitiously delivered a shot of adrenaline. She returned the smile and continued to her destination.
Tina enjoyed an occasional early Saturday evening perusing the books of her choice at the West Hollywood shop. She had an ongoing and always-in-the-process-of-being-perfected plan to travel Southeast Asia. Several had already been set aside. There were books from Nepal, Laos, Thailand and Burma. She was flipping through one that reviewed travel and customs in the country of Cambodia when she sensed someone to her right.
"Thailand is a beautiful country," Bette said as she picked up the top book on the pile beside Tina. Tina looked up from her book and smiled widely.
"What made you want to travel there?" she asked, squaring her body entirely to make the inquiry. She tilted her head slightly to one side as she awaited a response.
"My original intention was to park myself on a hot beach," Bette admitted. "But within a few days of my arrival, I started to become more aware of the richness of the culture."
"The culture is what’s drawing me there," Tina said enthusiastically. "And I’ve heard fantastic things about travelling that entire area."
"Bette Porter," Bette introduced herself as she extended her hand forward. "And someone’s been telling you the truth about how enjoyable a trip it can be."
"Tina Kennard," Tina replied. "And it sounds as though you have even more positive experiences to share."
"If you’re already in the serious planning stages, this is the book you should buy to learn about Thailand," Bette said, indicating her approval of the book she had in her hand.
"Why don’t you join me up in the caf for some tea and I’ll grill you for some more information on your trip," Tina suggested. "My treat." Tina had never asked a stranger to do anything unless it was crystal clear it was friendship. She had a bit of a sparkle in her eye as this invitation left her.

Very nicely done. I sort of had a feeling from the start that the girls were engaging in a little bit of role play. Not that I would have been disappointed if it were otherwise, but I think there was a depth to this what wouldn’t have been there had it been a different take on meeting. Quite enjoyable.
this was wonderful, i loved how they looked right were strangers… oh so sexy……………..
wow..u caught me there. splendid i would say…brilliant!!!!!!!!!
I’m going to go back now and look for the clue that told us that this was some role playing by our favorite couple. I’m sure there is one other than the story was written by you. :)I think it would have worked fine either way… but I’m all for having fun within a relationship. And IT IS weird how we will tell perfect strangers things that we’ve never told someone we’ve lived with for a long time. Funny that. :)Thanks for this. I’ll be thinking about this for the rest of the day.
Yes! This is great!
that was amazing. You are incredible. Thank you for posting.
Clue review:1. Title – Snippets of Bliss all take place in the time frame after ‘And it Started with a Phone Call.’ They are all short continuations of that story. (Of course, if you didn’t read that story, the clue would be lost.)2. Tina’s bold invitation…okay so in B&T beginnings, Tina is occasionally the aggressor, but it’s the exception not the rule. “Tina had never asked a stranger to do anything unless it was crystal clear it was friendship.” And she still hasn’t asked a stranger….3. “Only if the right woman comes into view,” Bette replied with a confidence that shook Tina slightly. I wanted to portray Tina as shaken because somewhere inside herself, she realizes that Bette is always this confident, and she needs to step up to the challenge in this situation.4. “‘This is going to be quite the night,’ Tina thought to herself as she stood.” No trepidation? She’d never asked a stranger to do anything and now she’s going to a stranger’s house…not so much…5. “This is a great house,” she said. “I love how you’ve decorated it.” “Thanks,” Bette replied, with what could only be characterized as a smirk. “But I have to admit, I did have some help. (Of course she had some help…Tina decorated the house, and Bette is smirking at the fact that Tina is complimenting herself.6. “What do you do when you come Tina,” Bette whispered. “Do you moan? Do you scream? Do you hold your breath?” “Bette…” “Too much?” (Bette was asking Tina if she felt as though the role-playing was getting carried away. And Tina responded no, she was just getting into it.)7. “And the beauty is, you know there’s no need to be nervous,” (She can have what is illicit on some level, but totally safe, because she’s with Bette.8. “Are we going to fuck or talk?” Tina asked, her voice dripping with lust. (Again, going from not asking a stranger to do something outside of friendship to uttering this phrase? It would be quite a leap.9. She got up to use the bathroom and brush her teeth before crawling back into bed (So now it’s becoming much more clear – either she used Bette’s toothbrush or had her own and I didn’t mention it or…well, she used her own toothbrush in her own bathroom.10. And a clue that would have depended on careful reading and a wicked good memory…the sex scene is exactly the same scene as their first time together in “And it Started with a Phone Call” (Chapter 3?), but it has been purged of all the naughty bits, and only slightly altered where I thought things they said would be too obvious. I wanted readers to have a sense of déjà vu about this, much like I’m sure people in such a situation would. The same…but different.Thanks for commenting!BR>
“I take constructive criticism very well.” Well, I’d offer you some, but there was nuthin’ to criticize. ;-) Brava!
“what do you do when you come Tina?” thud…
Ah…. the joy roleplaying brings. :Dp.s- Thailand really is wonderful….I just came back 3 weeks ago.
Brilliant! Would love to think we could see this kind of reconnecting in season III…
I KNEW that scene sounded very fimiliar, down to Tina mimicing Bette’s actions. Since I recognised it I’d probably say I commit too many of the wrong things to memory but since you rather more politely put it as a ‘wicked good memory’ I’ll go with that. Admittedly, in my defence ‘And it Started With a Phone Call’ is the way I prefer to believe my favourite couple got together. As much as I enjoy other B&T beginnings, you know after reading it that it HAS TO BE the way it happened, lol. At first I didn’t want to read this because I thought, ‘Hey, this is meant to be part of the Snippets series why are they acting like they don’t know each other?’ Then I cottoned on. Thanking you for this great snippet.
I loved that! I have no criticism whatsoever…only positive, gushing praise.
Loved it!!!! But I especially liked your comment in the comments. Kinda of like at the end of Six Sense when they did the flashbacks with the clues. Well, by #6, I thought something was fishy…Bette wouldn’t ask Tina/stranger about how she came, but I knew something was up when Tina asked her if she was going to fuck or talk. Very clever, Fins!!! Looking forward to the next one. Actually, that was so clever, I’m going back to reread!
Terrific! I’m clearly going to have to re-read your “phone call” story.
loved it!!, I had an inclination by “clue 4” and was getting rather suspicious by “clue 5” and well.. 6.. hehe.. that just made me go :D:D:D:D cuz i knew what was going on.. hehehehe nice touch with clue 10.. i did get teh deja vu a bit.. oooh im such a geek with ur story!! :D *bows down in a i’m not worthy sorta way*
Cool, thanks for that. Its refreshing to read quick beautiful stories with a twist. I havent really read your other stuff and it was still clear in the end about the role playing. So its good that you can still read this story without needing to have read the before stories. I think there needs to be more fan fic like this: Clever, brief and hot! A+ jks! :)
This is soo cool, JKS! Loved the subtle hints throughout the chapter. I was on the fence the whole time ’til Tina went to brush her teeth. This was so fun! Excellent job. :)
Slinky, rhythmic, romantic and sexy …. This piece oozes charm like hot chocolate to thirsty winter taste buds. A pleasure to read, a very great pleasure ….. Thank you for sharing your talent and inspiring such visions.
whoa! Very nice! Thank you for sharing.
Whoa, that was fantastic!!! U likes this chapter..well I loved, loved, loved it. The clue review had me grinning cause by clue three i kinda figured out what was happening. Great JOB!
That was a fun and sexy read. Thanks.
Here we go again Swimmie. First it was steering clear of NC-17s which I classified as mumbo jumbo. Now it’s the constructive criticism spiel. My criticism is: stop using words I don’t know the meaning of. Concomitant? That’s okay, I finally got it. ;) This luscious story was unbelievably sexy and totally hot. As a result, I’ve misplaced my calm. Have you seen it by chance? I’m off to the bookstore now to see if I can locate it. I’ll look in the travel section first. Oh yeah, it seems to me that you’re the wicked good one babe. ;)
OH hun you wont get any negitive comment on that…lol it was hot it was very sexy and after saying all that it was damn cool! have to tell you the only problem here was that it ended! would love you to post more.anyway thanks i loved it
Hey this is great JKS… a role playing game. You had me for a few minuts, but I defenitly felt a deja vu reading the sex scene. I love your comment – thank you for that. Please try and post more…I’m always looking forward to Snippets of Bliss :o))
I forgot to ask – what about Destiny…will there be more posts to that, it’s great story?? I’m really in to that one….as everything you write :o))
Great chapter
haha! highly clever, pal. i knew the love scene was familiar! i was thinking “oh god, is she really fresh out this time? it couldn’t be!”. well, you weren’t and i really appreciate the shout-out to what is probably my favourite fan fiction story of all time.cheers!p.w.
wow, that was one great chapter. I felt that something “wasn’t right” but didn’t know what until the clue no. 9. shame on me;)
Love the story. I read all the time but never comment. This is just such a cute story.
That was awesome!!! *big grin*
That was so cute a role playing game. I like it very much. Keep up the good work.
so you want constructive criticism ?1 — you cannot end it there2 — you don’t post enough3 — you are too bloody good how’s that then ?? great chapter
god that was good. loved how you kept us going throughout. glad you like this story cuz i love it. just keep doing both. im sure youll not hear no line of complaint. excellent. thanks.
jks, I love this story. The beginning was so clever and well written. I was a bit surprised at Tina’s aggressiveness b/c in other fanfic, she’s so cautious and timid. At the end of the 2nd page, I kinda had an idea of what was going on. What a great way for lovers to keep the love fresh, uninhibited and hot!
BUT, in my defence, i thought something was dodgy when Tina went and cleaned her teeth, but its 0500hrs here, so i think i did well to catch it on hint 9!!!!!! cheers luv
Genius!
ooh, vewy vewy goood! I like it! keep writing. I’ll be reading.
This was a wonderful read. You continue to out due yourself. Your stories are thoughtful, sexy and intelligent. Please don’t change a thing.
I’m glad to read there’s been a variety of times that people figured out it was role play…there were a couple of hints I thought might be too much, but I don’t try this type of approach very often, so I thought I might get away with it. Also good to know I can recycle love scenes…I read them so much as I write them, they are nothing short of tedious by the time I post, hence my recent consternation at travelling that particular path…
Excellent!! That was SO sexy, playful, and very intriguing. The role playing added layers to their intimacy…to their expectations. It was HOT! Thanks for this fascinating story with a twist.
Excellent! You had me completely fooled.
your a bloody marvel and no my memory isnt that good, you sneak!!! Love your writting, my only cristism is – where have you been and why so long?? Next post please
Loved this!!!!
that was just absolutely…two thumbs up, no wait, 4 if i use my toes…delightful, intruiging, playful, sexy as hell, and of course…perfect, loved it
Wow that was awesome and amazing!
i thought it was awesome. loved your doing this kind of story.
