After grumbling a little about going out into the surprisingly chilly night almost as soon as they all stepped out the five readily agreed with Peter that the view of the clear night sky afforded from the big lawn was indeed exceptional, and that relaxing under the stars would be a great way to end the evening. Someone had brought them marshmallows, while Jenna had fetched her stash of Belgian chocolates from her room. Lastly, the chef had sent over extra home-made graham crackers from the batch that she’d whipped up for children of the staff – they now had all the key ingredients for ‘smores!
Before leaving them Peter poured out a few glasses from the 3-liter 1996 Opus One that had been consumed halfway through during the party earlier. The glasses he poured out were for him, Bette, and Brom. Then he left the huge bottle for the five to polish off while they hung out by the fire.

Peter and Brom knocked on Bette and Tina’s door, and after they heard Bette respond that they were coming out shortly, Peter walked ahead to the living room hall to make sure it was completely empty, and then waited for Bette, Tina, and Brom to join him.
Bette responded to Brom’s clipped questions with one-word answers as they walked to the living room hall. Before long, the frustration he’d felt several hours previously reignited and he started to ask Bette sharper questions about the attack earlier that night, unwilling to yield to her silencing glare.
Tina gave Bette a calming squeeze and then flashed Brom a warning look, trying to tell him not to push her wife. “She’s told me about what happened, Brom, and maybe we shouldn’t start our conversation with all that,” Tina advised their friend, cutting into the barbed back-and-forth between Bette and Brom. Tina didn’t elaborate about everything she and Bette had talked about after the brunette had emerged from her shower. Apart from describing what had happened in the tunnels, Bette had told her about aspects of what she’d learnt from Jancis, and about the ton of gold that she, Jules, and Tom had moved from the tunnel.
Bette had considered telling Tina also about Jancis’ and Phillip’s decision to break the chain of custodians and select someone who would begin to surface gold. Jancis had said she and Phillip had reached this decision once they’d realized that those who’d been chasing the gold were getting closer than ever before to the custodians. However, Phillip had been struck by a brain aneurysm before he and Jancis had been able jointly to select the person or pair who would be entrusted with this important task. And then Jancis had said she’d selected Bette on behalf of both she and Phillip.

So glad to see this story back!
More bette and tina NC-17 please
Thanks for the update, enjoyed it.
Wow Jules and Diane are not Bette and Tina but that was so hot! There are so many twists and turns and you never really know who to trust. I love it! Thanks for posting.
I’ve spent the last three weeks reading “Let It Happen”, “Love Soul Heaven Hell” and “Empire State of Mind”. I’m a sucker for a good love story and an even bigger one for a love story with mystery, action, and intrigue. I particularly enjoy FanFIction when the author takes the characters in directions different from the original series. I’ve enjoyed how Bette turns out to be some business genius, who is sought after by the world’s movers and shakers. Yet, despite her enormous success in the business world, art still plays and important role in her life, and her life with Tina. I am riveted by the connection between Bette and Tina throughout these stories. Despite their rocky start, their connection remains the axis upon which these stories revolve around. They’ve weathered former suiters, art thieves, fighting factions in a war zone, greedy gold thieves, and rogue intelligence agents, and their connection seems to grow stronger and stronger.
I also enjoy how you keep tying earlier scenes to the current plot line. It’s as if the first two stories laid out all the puzzle pieces and in the third story, we get to see how Bette finally puts all those pieces together. Clever, quite clever. I have a sneaking suspicion that her rescuer, Harry, from the caves, will eventually play a role in wrapping up this gold mystery. I can’t wait to see how this all plays out and whether you have another sequel planned for us. You have some crazy, mad skills as a writer, and I hope you continue to share those skills with your readers.
What can I say….. thanks for the read through! Glad to note the broad storyline “coheres” for you, the independent reader. I must confess there is a future arc I’ve written out, but still mulling over. Do let me know if it works (if I can manage to insert it before this one ends).
Welcome back Sky!! I was wondering what was happening with Tom. I hope the antidote will work for him. His Mom did I want a legacy for him( yes I know his legacy is Tina and Bette’s baby). Is the mystery killer the woman that Tom’s mom contacted. Philby has to be stopped. Glad to see Bette and Brom make up. Diane and Jules have to get married. Diane has to trust her heart. Jules only wants her. I love all the intrigue and backstory. Bette and Tina would be the best guardians for the gold and Peter’s fortune. Their big hearts and giving souls would make them the true protectors of the world. Keep this marvelous story coming with all its twists and turns. I love it!!
Oh my, I was blessed with 32 pages of bliss. My reward for threatening the life of his first born if, my computer tech could not fix my computer, in a timely manner. He was instructed to fix it now or die trying. Discussion on phone that could have started an International incident. But, he did, and I read and reread my reward. Very much worth probably the beginning of WWIII! The episode is amazing and everything is coming together as a good novelist desires. Maybe, Diane should speak with Tina about jumping into forever with J. Tina had somewhat of the same concerns as Diane. And look how well that turned out! Please keep writing and I will try not to threaten the life of anyone else!
A New Chapter! That pleasant surprise.
You have a great story in his
hands, mystery, romance and lots of action.
I love your story.
Do not delay to post a new chapter.
10 stars.
