Story written on October 18, 2011 by kins40.
They had found the agonising leopard chained to a tree by a snare tied tightly around its right foot. As they were about to move in, to free the injured animal, Bette noticed that the cat was salivating profusely, a clear indication that the animal was not fully immobilised. She had called the team back at the last second, narrowly avoiding a goring incident that the leopard’s sharp claws could have easily inflicted.
The brunette was furious with herself for her mistake but her mood also had a lot to do with the fact that she was missing Tina with all her heart.
The feelings were not new or unfamiliar. All she knew was that they had once formed part of a very unhappy time in her life which she was determined to leave behind once and for all.
Shane was right; it had been a long time ago. Maybe this was the nudge, she needed. The swipe from sharp claws from a frightened, frustrated and stressed animal, to understand that she had to give a chance to whatever it was she and Tina had started.
She loaded the dart into the blowpipe and bringing one end to her lips, she inflated her cheek, holding her breath for a few seconds whilst she adjusted her aim to the hind quarter of the spotted cat. She blew out a sharp breath to liberate the red tufted dart and administer an additional dose of tranquiliser.
"Let’s see to you now beautiful creature." She smirked at her own double entendre.
**********
The day was drawing to a close and Tina let out a big sigh. She had hoped that Bette would make it back to the foundation before she’d have to leave for the day. Shane had been waiting for her as she arrived that morning to tell her about Bette’s unforeseen change in schedule.
Tina had tried to hide her disappointment but had failed miserably; owing her a playful elbow bump from the photographer who reassured her that Bette would make it up to her.
She missed the beautiful brunette. As incredible as it seemed, she felt this irresistible connection with the troubled vet. She was attracted to her in a way she had never experienced before.

Can’t stop there! Great chap, love the drama, PPS!
c`mon kins you can`t stop there!!!!! please hurry back so we can find out what was in that email……..x
Fan-fucking-tastic!!! I’ve been waiting for this kins, you are seriously amazing, this is how u write after a writer’s block session? Wow…
Wow… I surely didn’t expect that!!! Here I thought there wouldn’t be any tibette interaction in this chapter, and BAM! What an entry…! I loooove it! So glad Tina saw the scene and the way that F***ing JL behaved with Bette. 2 against 1, baby! Now step off, b**ch! So she wants to quit huh? I thought the email was already her company asking her for an explanation, but I guess not, since J was hoping to “buy” Bette with that threat… No, it seems that Tina is much MUCH clever than JL and had of course anticipated the conflict of interest. Good for you, Tina! Oh, and so scary that thought of Bette under the claws and teeth of that leopard! But o so much more pleasant that description of her in jeans, t-shirt, and… wet hair!!! Do you really want to kill me, K?… Anyway, brillant ending to this chapter, and so looking forward to the next! And by the way… I knew you’d rock my friend, you are awesome! Remember that if you ever meet one of those writer’s blocks again! (Oh, et merci pour le clin d’oeil…) Thanks buddy! xxx Kw
Another fascinating chapter, thank you
Yes! Attagirl, Tina! (I can almost hear Jodie’s blood boiling… “Curses! Foiled again!”)
I think a Hippo should eat her in one GULP! Then spit her out for the crocodile appetizers!
Great update. What a way to take the starch out of the little evil bitch. Way to go Tina. That’s my girl!!! She saw that there is a huge conflict of interest and submitted her resignation before anything came up. Integrity plus. Great job Kins!!! Is the next chapter ready? Thanks.
Excellent. It’s what I hoped Tina would do. Didn’t want to see Bette hurt again by Tina opening her heart to love only to leave her when the job was over or threaten the foundation with a compromised audit. Jodi is just an annoyance but she does add a little spice to the story. Glad you are over the writers block.
Loved it but hate to be left hanging.
yessssss!!!! Take that you lead-filled bitch sorry. Take it away Tina. Thanks kins40 for the amazing story.
Thanks for the update. I wonder what was in Tina’s “URGENT” email. I hope whatever it is Jodi didn’t have anything to do with it.Please post soon!
What is the chance of a drunken Jodie toppling into that cast-iron fire bowl?? Although it may disrupt the beautiful setting and delightful ambiance, it would be a fitting end to the menace that is JL. Loved Tina trumping Jodie’s dastardly plan….touche’. Can’t wait for Bette’s reaction…..and perhaps more kisses….
You really can’t stop there. Tease. Love this story and love your writing. Thank you.
Excellent story.Thank you for the update.Again…a lion or a snake for Jodie would be fine for me.PPS
Hi Kins! When I reached the end of page 3… My mind already telling me to mentally prepared that there won’t be any Tibette moment in this chapter but JL JL JL JL >_< ugh! *You were killing me softly here* then suddenly T made an impressive entry!! Woohoo!! ... But alas, it's such a short celebration as there is no more pages aka frustrated hanging in the air. Dang! Anyway Kins thanks for the update, I hope there won't be anymore blocking for you ;-) and one more thing... I LOVE how you make T so MUCH smarter than JL :-) it's such a thrilled to read ;-)
Yea, a new chapter! Sorry to hear you’ve been battling the dreaded writers block :S But it appears you’ve found a way to break through because this update rocked! Sooooo Tina quit eh? Was it because of the email she received or the one she sent? Few things are ever as “simple” as they seem and I get the feeling this could be the case? Hopefully she talks with Bette about it someplace safe away from where Jodie can overhear them (but we can – nudge, nudge, wink, wink…). Ya know, I never really had a problem with the JL character on TLW but I have to say I find _your_ JL is most reprehensible! Maybe she should personally experience “green” hunting so she can see how “safe” it really is (Ha!). BTW, I appreciate how you’ve integrated issues of wildlife preservation in your story. Having to euthanize any creature especially when it’s due to greed and carelessness takes a bigger emotional toll than most people realize. Thanks again for sharing such an awesome story Kins! Looking forward to your next post :) x iHH
Okay so this is the first chapter that i’ve read of this story and oh how i loved it! But can you please do me a favor and that is if its not too much to ask.. Can u please add me, phacey as a character on the next chapter as someone who will BITCH SLAP that mad woman from hell jodie lerner! It will certainly add more spice to your freakinly awesome story hahaha!! PPS!8-)
Yes Tina
HA! EAT THAT YOU F…..Hate you Lerner!! and DON’T MESS WITH TINA… You don’t her to get angry!
Just caught up. Your stories are always a treat! Love the scenery for this story. This coconut-like Bette (hard outside soft inside) and honest-soft -caring Tina is a great combination. The nature describing parts give this story film quality and the kisses match the mid day temperatures.. Thankful that you share your stories with us!
Great writing after writer’s block! I know Jodie’s blood is boiling!
Holy crap! Why is Tina quitting? The urgent message, I presume. I’m sure Jodi had something to do with it. PPS!!
Hey K, really enjoyed that chapter. Won’t say much more but I shall be back ;)
What a perfect way to end an evening..off to Africa with your lovely story! Oh yeah..by the way..JL is psycho!!
Great one, Tina. I hope she finds a more fulfilling new job soon. Or maybe she’d want to try a different career? Thank you kins for always imagining exciting new worlds for our favorite couple. The way you write them we feel like we’re really there. :)
Well, that is a blast in Jodie’s face, LOL. As usual you keep us hooked to ur words to the last one then leave us hanging there until ur next post. please please don’t keep us waiting too long ;D
