Love in Control – Chapter VIII – Will You Marry Me?
“You’re clouding my judgment.”
“I wouldn’t have thought so. I bet it takes a lot to cloud your judgment.”
He said nothing in response, but stopped trying to gently pry his arm from her grip and allowed it to rest around her shoulders. He took a sip from his drink and tried to swallow. She has to know what this is doing to me.
“Besides, I rather enjoy copping a feel of a handsome guy when he isn’t going to have to pay for it.”
Man, when she’s in the mood for it she can really work a tease!
He shook his head. “I’m a gentleman. I am not going to dignify that with an answer.”
They shared a light laugh, knowing that she wasn’t going to actually “cop a feel” of him tonight. After a beat, they simultaneously turned to look in Rian’s direction again. They’d evidently missed noticing that a new group had ascended to the open-deck space, Jade amongst them, while they’d been teasing each other, and snuggling closer together, on the couch. The new group had been shown a table at the far end of the open deck. Jade had taken a seat that gave her a view of Rian and her table.
Meanwhile, two more men had joined Rian’s table, pulling chairs over from the next table. The man with short, spiky hair who’d clearly been trying to impress Rian ever since they’d asked to join her in the lower level was apparently regaling the table with a story. Rian curled several strands of blonde hair around her finger, while she laughed, making eyes with one of the men who’d just joined the table, ignoring the man telling the story.
“She’s getting good at this, stringing that poor guy along, drawing all their attention to her in the process. It’s like she’s feeding off of her audience.” Brom observed his friend, surprised at how adroitly Rian had eased into the vixen role. And relishing it, it looked like. “Must be a crazy feeling.”
“What is?”
“Being onstage or performing … for the sole purpose of seducing. And then getting that immediate reaction from the audience.”
“Mmhmm… yeah. There’s a definite high in it.”
Morgan paused. “But…”
Brom dared to hug her to him a little bit. “But what?” he asked softly.

Nice, enjoyed it especially Tina and Bette in the beginning
I agree the beginning was a laugh with Bette and Tina????
Love it! loved the homage to his #purple majesty Prince!….”when doves cry…”great way to start the day! My thanks!
Oh, that was absolute worth the long wait!
Fantastic and sexy chapter, wouldn’t mind if you write more B&T in your story.
But Rian and Jade captured my heart, they are a great couple.
Thanks for the update!
You can be sure that yes, it was worth the wait
for another fantastic chapter!
My heart always Tibette, however Jade and Rian captivated me.
The whole universe
I’m with all the above especially wkm and Dee22 Tibette always.
Worth the wait, thanks.
Hello everyone. Thanks for taking the time to comment. A few caveats: the story arc for “Love In Control” will not have much Bette/Tina romance, although there will be occasional scenes. Their story is evolving in this book — the evolution will see them in a family unit, rather than as a couple. This particular arc started with scenes in earlier chapters, and will be more central in the next chapters. I think I’ve gone over their romance (exhaustively) in the other books already, anyway, and I really don’t have much more to say about “Tibette” than what I’ve already written in the other books.
I sense that it’s time that they evolve and mature in my stories, as characters, otherwise, their story arc will not make much sense if they remain struck in TiBette-land (at least in my storyline). To be perfectly honest, an evolving, maturing Bette/Tina, in the way I’ve been writing about them, is infinitely more interesting for me to write. I can sense them growing, and it seems to be as part of a family unit: this evolution is more authentic and important in this book than “TiBette.” it’s the other couples, in the meantime, who will be developing their own romances.
In the end this book is about a few kinds of love, what they mean, etc., but make no mistake the evolving Bette/Tina take on love remains the central/anchoring one for this book, particularly as things take a turn in the next chapters.
i may disappoint many of the readers who take the time to click through the pages of this story … I hope they will understand that I really can’t write a story if it’s not something I believe in or can stand behind, or would even want to read myself. I have moved on, and have explored the limits of that particular time in their lives through several books already, and so have the Bette and Tina characters in my storylines. They are different now from who they were in the TiBette version of the earlier books from who they seem to be growing into —
maybe I should re-classify this book to another fandom, different from “L Word” even if Bette and Tina and their family are central characters?
I seem to be raising expectations by slotting this book under “L Word.” And that’s not fair to you, the readers.
While Bette and Tina originally attracted me to your writing, your Jade/Rain and Aerin/Harley characters have captivated me. Their unexplored characters are ripe with endless plot lines. Don’t apologize for the lack of TiBette romance, as your other characters and your writing are rich enough to sustain my appetite for a romantic escape.
