Chapter 36 – TRUTH
“I’ve never stopped loving you.” Tina’s lips were practically upon hers. Bette could feel Tina’s hot breath on her cheeks. The earthy aroma of her perfume.
“Don’t . . . “Bette pleaded, her defenses crumbling into an array of dust before the pull that Tina had on her. She grabbed onto Tina’s forearms to try to hold her back.
“Never stopped.” Tina reached up and cupped the back of Bette’s head. Her hand tangling in the mass of curls as she pulled the brunette slightly down to her. “There’s never been anyone else that I’ve felt this level of love for. Only you.”
“I can’t . . . “Bette’s resolve was disintegrating by the second. Her impulses were making her dizzy. Her palms were sweating on the material of Tina’s sweater.
“I’ve missed you so much.” Tina’s voice was a ghost of a whisper against Bette’s ear. Her face then nuzzled into Bette’s neck as she said breathlessly. “I want you too much.”
Bette felt the tingle of Tina’s soft lips on her skin as it was set on fire with desire at every spot that Tina touched. Tina’s lips followed the line of Bette’s jaw till they reached her chin and then ascended upward.
“We can still have a life together.” Tina brushed her lips across Bette’s cheek. Her soft voice sending a new set of shivers through Bette’s body.
“No, it’s not . . . “Bette was losing all her hard fought control. Tina was driving her to immense distraction with her caresses, her closeness, and her scent.
“Please.” Tina begged as she hovered over Bette’ mouth for just a second, waiting for her to comply. To meet her in this building passion.
“Not . . . possible . . .” Bette mumbled as her eye lids slid shut.
Tina closed the distance and their lips finally met in a powerful jolt. The electricity of their lips connecting sparked instantly as it once had long ago. This kiss, this one earth shattering kiss would never be enough for either of them.
Never.
Neither woman knew who moaned first or how many times. It didn’t really matter as they were both caught in the sensations of being held by the other woman for the first time in ages. Just that it happened again and again as their lips and tongues slid along each other. Savoring the taste they had been without for all these years.

The long awaited talk between them, still Bette was trying to avoid it but Tina didn’t give her the chance.
I do understand Bette’s reasons to ghost Tina but on the other hand she was moving to be with Tina. So yes i understand Tina’s anger and heartbreak as well. She wasn’t giving the choice to help Bette.
And now Bette is still struggling because of her own health, she denies herself the love she and Tina still have for each other. You can say it’s honorable of Bette to set Tina free to find someone who will love her and have a family with but Tina made it clear she only wants that with Bette, the love of her life.
Thank you for this chapter.
I hope life treats you and your wife well.
Hey pal,
Hope you’re doing well where you are. It’s been hot & steamy over here – YUCK!
Yeah, Bette just can’t seem to help herself & wants to deny herself & Tina a chance at happiness once again due to the bleak outlook for her illness.
But, TK is one determined lady, so hope is not lost yet.
Thanks for your continued support & advise.
Enjoy the rest of your summer – fall is not that far away.
Wow, so intense. Talk about stubborn – I just want to strangle Bette myself.
I know she’s trying to protect Tina again, but give the lady a chance.
Yet, I can detect cracks in Bette’s armor, hopefully Tina can poke some more holes in it.
Thanks for your efforts and look forward to the last chapters.
It was intense to write too!!
I have felt the same urges about Bette in certain instances in this story as well – you’re not alone in that.
This was Bette’s last big stance so, we’ll see who has some influence over her & what direction they point her in the next chapter.
Thanks for hanging in there.
Very powerful chapter. We indeed learned a lot.
To me, Bette’s just scared bat shit crazy because of her undying love for Tina and once again, a missed opportunity for them to rekindle their relationship because of her illness. She doesn’t want to burden Tina again and she’s trying to protect TK as she thought she had done in the past.
TK needs to just go after her and not stop until Bette tells her about her illness.
I’m sure you have that all mapped out!!
Thanks for the exceptional chapter and your wizardry with words and emotions.
Keep well and I hope your wife is doing better.
Hey, thanks for the wonderful comment & your trust in the story & me.
You’re right about Bette’s motivation to protect TK once more. But, she’ll have to face the truth about her feelings for TK & realize just how deeply she loves & needs her.
Much more coming your way.
Thanks for the mention about my wife. Fingers crossed.
The heartache here for both Tina and Bette was so sad. They love each other so much, but Bette’s so stubborn in her quest to protect Tina that she’s hurting her more.
I certainly hope she realizes this mistake and allows Tina back into her life.
Great work as always.
Hey JW,
Lots of angst in this chapter & love lost & hope getting a kick in the pants.
Bette’s goin’ get some much needed advice & an ultimatum or two this time, so look for a shift in direction.
As always, thanks for your support.
Hey Collins,
Loved this update! Loved Tina here, she was determined to get all the TRUTH out. Happy to see that Bette answered all Tina’s questions, and Tina made it clear she still loves Bette and wants to be with her. The next thing is for Tina to get all the answers about Bette’s health. Already looking forward to the next update.
Hope all is well with you and your wife, my friend.
Hey pal,
TK was the star in this chapter – super determined & unwilling to admit defeat with Bette’s words or actions.
The health issue is the next big challenge & TK will get some help along those lines.
Thanks for the remembrance for my wife.
Take care of yourself & enjoy the remainder of the summer.
This was worth our wait. Loved every word.
Tina has the heart of a lion and won’t give up on her love for Bette.
Bette has to give herself a chance for happiness and face her illness with Tina by her side.
Post again when you can and take care of yourself and your wife.
So glad you’re still with me on this journey of denied love & eternal hope.
Bette will a lesson in listening from someone she loves very much – that should kick start her to get her priorities in order.
Hopefully will have an update by the end of this month.
Hey Collins,
At long last I have got around to re-reading your lovely story!
It really is one of those I can’t put down. I’ve waited ages for you to continue this story! It’s been a hectic year for me and you by the sounds of it, but I am trying to catch up.
This story is getting better and better! What a conundrum our couple are going through.
Why, oh why did Bette just walk away all those years ago, didn’t she know she would have needed the support of the woman she has never stopped loving !
Why didn’t Tina ever get on that plane….she must of read about the death of Bette’s father and brother and know Bette would have needed her?
I’m supposing Bette’s illness is related to the China visit many years ago and hopefully her colleagues will find a curse for her to EVENTUALLY be with the woman she loves?
It’s truly heartbreaking what our couple are going through right now, they both need to stop being so stubborn and open up with each other. The way you have written this chapter is exceptional, you really are with them, willing them one and feeling the emotion of their situation through your words.
Don’t leave it to long to post! Take care of yourself and your wife ….. We are waiting for the next chapter !!
Hi Janice,
Thank you so much for taking the time from your own busy schedule to comment. This novel for me has been a labor of love – both for Tibette & London, my favorite city.
Yes, its a complicated story of hope, anguish & eternal love. Well, if Bette or Tina had actually seen each other again years ago, we wouldn’t have a story. Ha!!
The story is definitely in the last quarter & a few chapters are left.
And yes, you’re on the right track about the relationship with Bette’s work in China and her current illness.
Thanks for the kind words about my writing, means a tremendous about to us writers when readers appreciate what we’ve created & hold dear to our hearts.
Yes, my wife is doing better & a big surgery coming up end of next month – so fingers crossed!
I’ve posted the next chapter on AO3 because I couldn’t get access to this site until tonight – have no idea why – it just wouldn’t accept my password.
I’ll try to post it here now.
Thanks again & I hope you enjoy the next few chapters.
See ya soon.
