Bette parked her jeep in front of a majestic, spacious establishment built in rock and olive wood.
She and Shane had arrived at Helena Peabody’s private lodge.
The day had been long and emotional.
After attending the injured elephant that morning, Bette had sent her team back to the foundation and the two women remained behind spending a few hours following the large bull as was the protocol of surgery aftercare.
Shane did not have to coax the vet too much when they returned home and Bette decided that a little bit of relaxation in the company of her friend would be just what she required.
They made their way inside.
There was no doubting the impeccable taste of the heiress of the Peabody Empire. The interior of the house featured the best in local furniture mixing surprising well with luxurious carpets from Rajasthan and fabrics from London.
The main room extended high up in a ceilingless roof with apparent beams decorated with Masai warrior weapons and ceremonial masks.
One side of the room was occupied by an enormous fireplace and the walls were adorned with multicoloured animal paintings.
"There you are!" a perfectly enunciated English voice boomed.
"Hey Helena" was Shane’s more relaxed answer.
"And who might this be?" Helena mocked with a fake gasp, "Bette Porter in the flesh!"
"Alright, alright, Helena… you made your point, how are you?" Bette said complying with the blue eyed brunette air kissing habit.
"All the better for seeing you both. Come out back, we are fairly busy tonight. The lodge is fully booked and we also have the usual gathering of like minded people from the area" she added with a wink.
So many years ago, Helena’s grand-father had fallen in love with the wildness and soul enriching isolation of Africa. He built the lodge in harmony with the beautiful surrounding landscape hoping to preserve this feeling within it.
Helena had inherited the property and had hoped to respectfully keep her grand-father’s dream alive by transforming the ancestral home into a secluded and exclusive holiday destination entirely dedicated to women.
The three of them made their way outside again, towards the back of the house and followed a stone path that led to an outsized open area offering the true wealth of the Kenyan landscape which was all for the onlooker’s taking.

looks like I’m first yay! Okay number one, i hate Jodi. Even in the show, I’ve always hated her character, I just don’t like her demeanor and the way she views herself. That being said, I hope a lion mauls her (because I also love animals and I’m strictly against killing for sport!) Now Tina and Bette, they had a perfect meeting! There were fireworks flying! hahaha now I cant wait until Bette and Tina meet again, this time in the business sense, talk about fate!
I am good, an’t I? hahahahahaha yeah blow your own trompette mariam hahahah.A reward, please, with a quick post LMAO.Okay Please, kins40 pretty please no Jody, let animals teach her some few lessons like how to respect animals even if you don’t like them? she is cruel and a waste of space. I don’t like her don’t trust her, never liked her and never will.
Wow…Tina had Bette at a loss for words….I’m impressed. This thing with Jodi should be interesting. Bette is obviously not the least bit interested in her. I wonder what Bette is going to need to do to get her to back off.
Really liked how they meet in this chapter, too cute. Please post before your trip.
A lovely chapter, Kins. I really enjoyed it. I hope you have a great holiday.
Interesting story. I like kindhear, wildlife protector Bette. Jody’s the snake of this paradise Savannah. Tibette’s bantering is so cute. I’m looking at their reaction when Tina will present herself at The Melvin porte Foundation, how will their boss-subordinate link will play in their potential dating calendar…. Welcome to France, whishing you a nice and sunny stay, still be prepared for a rainy day.
Hi Kins! thanks for the update! :-) Ugh.. was not so happy when I read about Jodi’s appearance..why? oh why must have this character on the story?! ugh..! >_< but I must thank you again to make her absolutely not an option for Bette in your story :-) haha.. and another thanks for let Tina appears and have opportunity to meet Bette.. ^^, it's such a short but sweet encounter, and so cute too. I can only imagine how thrilled they are when they realized that they'll have more time to be closer when Tina appear on Bette's office as the auditor. And Tina might just surprised so much to know the "bartender" is actually the one in charge in the Foundation. And seems this auditor will have a warm welcome ;-) hehe.. great update my dear Kins!^_^ I do enjoy reading your story! Thanks for sharing with us! :-) Well, enjoy your soon to be holiday and have a great time! :-) I'll be waiting for another update from you as usual! Take care! :-)
LOL!!….omg …these lines is funny!… What is that?” the owner of the hazel eyes said.”Goosebumps.” Bette replied, realising too late that her mouth had spoken faster than her mind worked.The blonde grinned.”Funny name for a bottle of mineral water, Swahili?””Uh… No … No it’s not.” It was now Bette’s turn to grin as she realised that the blonde was amused by her recent slip. “Maji.””Is that your name?” The blonde continued teasing.Bette closed her eyes and let out a small nervous laugh. She was trying to focus on re-establishing their conversation into some kind of synchronised coherence.”No … I’m sorry …. Let’s start again. Maji means water in Swahili and my name is Bette.” The vet finally explained extending her hand in greeting.Taking the hand offered, the blonde instantly felt the connection again.”Tina Kennard.”…Hate hunting. Did they know that almost half of the species in Africa are in the endangered list?..Lions, Rhino’s Elephant’s…wonder sometimes … by then end of the Decade those Animals, we can only see them..in Books?. …sad…..
Jodi..back off you slimey bitch..Bette done found her woman. Amazingly beautiful update as usual!!
Ugh, Jodi’s made herself completely repugnant to Bette within a few moments of their meeting each other, but her pursuit has just begun. I wonder how long it will be before she gets the hint that Bette will never be interested in her? The meeting with Tina was instantly better… I have a feeling that Bette might start hanging around Helena’s establishment a little more frequently. ;) Thanks for the post! :)
So well written. I am captivated already.
Incredible story from you, as always. Haven’t had a chance to read lately, but finally got to enjoy all three chapters. Fingers crossed for a pre-vacation chapter! Have a wonderful time in France…ooh la la!
Yes I like the way that you had them meet each other, before they actually had their scheduled meeting. But I am surprised that Bette did not recognize Tina’s name. Oh well. Continuing the ride.
Amazing as always.Funny 1. meeting.Looking forward to the next chapter.PPS
That was just so aboslutely well written that I could just picture it in my head. Thank you for this wonderful story.
I loved it and I’ll try to wait patiently of the update, Jodi in ur story not deaf but seems blind with ego, she is a hunter and I hate sport hunters it is so cruel to kill for joy. Bette and Tina meeting was breath taking and I loved it a lot, looking forward for their second meeting and many to come,lol. have a nice trip and enjoy ur self to return with fabulous story as usual ;D
Hi kins40, Thank you for expanding the universe of this adventure. It was fun to have Helena present and running a Sapphic Safari Lodge and Retreat. Her relationship with Bette is one of mutual distrust. This giev you plenty of latitude to play with. Perhaps Helena is atrracted to Bette and chas been coming on hot and heavy for too long. Bette does seem very remote and self-contained in this story. I do wonder if this is because she was hurt before and so has closed off her heart or is it how she has been brought up and survived in this hostile environment. Jodi was an absolute pain in the ass. So full of her own importance and cavalierly ignoring Bette’s obvious disinterest. Again, Jodi’s arrogance knows no bounds . It was just perfect to have her disappear (up her own ass would have have been spot on). Then a sudden shudder hit the world as Bette and Tina meet, hands gently caressed a water bottle and two lives were changed forever. Shane, as always, saw it immediately. There was mild flirting and then it was over. Even though I hope you have a wonderful holiday in France I can’t hide my disappointment in not having more chapters to treasure. Please continue soon. Much appreciation from Your Loyal Fan.
Love the parts of the chapter that deal with everyone but jodi in this story, please say NO!!!!!!, I thought I was no.1 in hating jodi in all ways, guess not, others hate her as much as I do. I don’t know what it is about her that I dislike so much, one is her supreme arrogance, can’t stand the character nor the woman. Everything I’ve seen her in she is arrogance personified, hmmnrff!!! Please take her out very, very soon. Let a lion have her for dinner and if anything is left let an elephant stomp the rest of her into the dirt and then s*&t on her. Hate her. Bette and Tina were so sweet, can’t wait until they meet at Bette’s foundation office. Loved robbeedee’s assesment of what should have happened to help jodi disappear. that was priceless. thanks for sharing a great story.
Oh another great chapter. I wasn’t expecting Jodi to appear and I hope she doesn’t cause alot of friction between B&T. Bette, clearly has eyes only for Miss Tina. PPS!
I love this story!!!! PPS!
That was an extremely playful and promising introduction. Those little sparks are sure to turn into a full-fledged fireworks show full of breathtaking pyrotechnic magic. I’ll be waiting patiently for your return and the second rendezvous that is bound to be more business than pleasure…but there’s no rule against pleasurable business is there?
Enjoyable as always Kins, especially the meeting between Tina & Bette. Enjoy your well deserved time away. We’ll be right here awaiting your next installment when you return (or maybe sooner??? ;)
WOOHOO SO GOOD
