Provocations Linger- chapter 16
Last time on Provocations Linger….
A knock on the door interrupted their banter.
Bette raised her eyebrows at Helena.
The heiress shrugged back, she hadn’t requested anything.
Bette approached the door, tightening the sash on her robe as she opened it. Staring, she stood motionless. After a bit Helena was concerned by the silence that ensued.
Tina’s smile had vanished as recognition set in, she also stood staring expressionless back at Bette, taking in the bathrobe, and her clear state of undress underneath.
“Bette?” she uttered finally.
“T. I wanted to…” Bette stopped, momentarily stricken dumb.
Helena peered over her shoulder.
“Oh dear… so much for the ‘Their eyes met across the room’ moment,” she sighed.
“Helena…” Bette warned quietly.
Tina looked back and forth between the two dumbfounded.
“What… what did she say?” she asked finally.
Bette thought she looked a very sexy combination of angry and confused.
“Bette?” Tina’s eyes were growing larger by the minute. Helena looked like she might start laughing and Bette, in that bathrobe was grinning at her like the Cheshire cat. Tina was getting pissed.
“What are you smiling about?” she asked them both, exasperated. Here she’d been worried about how they’d get along yet quite obviously they got on wonderfully.
“You look beautiful,” Bette confessed, her smile growing larger.
“Absolutely beautiful,” Helena agreed, nodding. “That dress is simply amazing on you dear.”
Tina gave the Brit a withering look before turning her attention back to her ex-wife. The hurt expression she wore wiped the smile off Bette’s face.
“I guess I don’t find this as funny as you do,” the blonde told her softly before turning and heading toward the bank of elevators. Tina’s head was about to explode.
“She knew that I’d be here. She knows Helena and I went out. She had to have known yesterday at Sam’s that she’d be here. Certainly Helena knew this morning… Why didn’t either of them tell me Bette would be here?” Her stomach twisted in a knot.
Bette swore softly under her breath as Tina disappeared up the hall. Without a glance back at Helena, she followed her ex wife at a run.
Tina paced before the elevators, willing one to stop and swallow her up before Bette caught up to her. The familiar soft bell announced doors sliding open. Tina jumped in and hit her floor button in one smooth motion but it wasn’t fast enough to prevent the brunette from leaping between the closing doors in time.
Both women, out of breath and a bit frazzled, took a moment before speaking. Bette, remembering her attire decided she didn’t want any more passengers joining them just yet. She hit the red emergency button bringing them to a stop mid floors.
“Bette! What the fuck?”
“I’m wearing a bathrobe,” she offered weakly.
“Yeah. I caught that,” Tina’s eyes flashed in warning. “And?”
“Tina,” Bette scolded softly. “You can’t possibly believe that Helena and I…”
When Tina didn’t answer her right away, Bette took a step closer to the blonde, lifting her face to hers. “T-, I know you know better.”
Tina kept her eyes averted though she could feel Bette’s soft breath on her face. Their bodies were just inches apart and Tina was keenly away of that bathrobe and what didn’t lie underneath.
The blonde sighed, her breath shaky.
“I know you aren’t sleeping with Helena,” she admitted before finally looking into the brown eyes in front of her.

I am so loving this. Thanks! Lin
loving this… can’t wait for the next update..pps
Let me deduce here: If Bette arrived back at the Penthouse minus her lipstick, wouldn’t that mean that Tina is wearing said lipstick somewhere on her person? Hummmm…….You didn’t mention that Tina made a mirror pitstop before she joined Tessa and Sam. Oops!
I love this story!Your/Bette/Tina/Helena timing is impeccable.
I was thinking along the same lines as techgal…wouldn’t Sam notice something up with Tina’s lipstick? Had to giggle a little bit your notes regarding gee gee. BTW…miss that girl and her story. Thanks for the update!
more more pps this is getting good I love it when Bette just goes for it instead of thinking……
I don’t seem very original in my comments, but yours is the first post I look for!
you know i always picture that bette and helena could have been great friends if it wasn’t for the timing of the Tina factor…nice to see how it plays out
HMMMMMMMM to the ending but that elevator ride was hot! hot! hot!
Briliant update and love the elevator scene. Great! Can’t wait to see what happens. Thank you
I love Bette and Helena’s relationship. It will be interesting explaining to the others, Helena will have Bette as her escort. Now, we all know Tina can not avoid Bette because her heart reaches out for the dark brooding brunet.
awesome update, i wish elevator ride was longer LOL and i like this Helena and i like where it’s going, i like, i like, i like LOL
Fantastic update! Thanks a lot for posting. I loved their time in the elevator. :) PPS
I liked the elevator scene. Good kiss by Bette. Tina is in trouble. I see Sam confronting Bette sometime in the evening. What will Tina say???? I cannot wait till your next post.
Hee! Thanks, Zuzu. Glad to see Bette didn’t waste any time
Oh my. Such a lot happening in such a brief time. That discussion Bette and Tina are going to have regarding what happened in the elevator though, looks set be a long one. The evening is going to be very interesting, I think. Love the story, Zuzu, thanks for the post. Cheers!
Another great post! The evening is going to be very interesting. Looking forward to the next chapter.
What is it with Tibette and elevators…..Fucking Hot!! *phew fans self**thud* Zuzu, you have quite a talent in storytelling of making me feel like I am right there in the scene. I love this story. PPVS thanks! :)
Damn, what a kiss!!! Yeah, like the others, I thought I remembered some neck nibbling before that kiss…although I think I’d have trouble remebering my name after a kiss like that, I do hope that T caught a glance in a mirror before making her way back to her room?! Now let’s get this party started….PPVS :)
hmmm Bette and Tina elevator…bathrobes…oh oh distracted…excellent update …and I enjoy Bette jumping her…LOL
Loved it!!! How is Tina going to tell Sam that Bette is Helena’s date for the night. This is getting so good. Thank you PPS
Great chapter Zuzu! Tibette and elevators :-) If Tina and Bette decide to start something again, I hope Tina ends it with Sam first – I like her. I like this Helena too – I hope Tina gets the chance to set her up with Tessa.
Hey Zuzu…another winner! Loved Bette going after Tina and love this Helena. I think their may be some fire works on Fire Island in the next update or two.
God, I love this story. That elevator ride was really something and I don’t think Tina will recover from it anytime soon. They won’t be able to stay away from each other, especially dressing similarly is fantastic. Great and similar minds and all that. Can hardly wait to see what happens next. As for Sam, she knows how Tina feels about Bette and vice versa, she is no fool but is acting like one if she thinks she will get Tina fully. Not gonna happen. “Our girls” can not resist each other. Thanks so much for posting. PPS
Thanks for the update. I loved the elevator encounter. The spark is still there….
in my mind, i always think tina & bette are disloyal when they are seeing other people. :P
OMG I LOVE THIS!
