Previously:
Bette began a slow scan, bottom to top, lingering at a few favorite spots. She grinned. Tina had clearly dressed to catch attention. Bette was used to women doing that for her.
~~
Bette continued her approach to the group of three, her mind on automatic as she plotted the conquest of the woman who, to Bette, was clearly signaling that conquest was welcome. A confident smile began to form. She then saw Eric slip his arm around Tina’s waist and the smile disappeared. Bette suddenly realized that she not have assumed that a woman with a boyfriend had dressed for her attention.
Even Bette noticed that her response was odd. Normally she would either have gone into combat with her rival or would have respected the one who had made the first claim. Normally she would have turned her attention to the abundant prey that remained. This time, though, she felt sad and unsettled. She had no time to analyze her responses, not that she would have, because Alice spotted her approach and called out.
“Our hostess arrives.”
Bette flashed her professional smile at the group, “I’m so sorry that it has taken me so long to get to this part of the room.” Tina was the closest, so Bette reached out her hand to shake hers first. Their eyes met as they grasped each others’ hand.
Eric responded as the two women shook hands, “That is not a problem. We were among the last to arrive.”
As the two women released their grip, Bette ran two fingers along Tina’s palm and fingers as she moved her hand away.
“Fuck!” Bette and Tina both thought.
“What was that?” Tina thought, as she continued to feel the effect of Bette’s fingers on her own hand and Bette thought “Did I do that?”
Alice saw the confused expressions of the women’s faces and suppressed a delighted grin. She thought, “This is going to be so much fun.”
Eric continued to speak, oblivious to drama occurring a few feet away. “We are both delighted to have been invited and we’re looking forward to a wonderful evening.”
Bette’s gaze held Tina’s for a moment longer before she reached her hand to Eric’s.
“Bette,” Alice prompted, “Eric has been saying how delighted they are to have been invited and that they are looking forward to a delightful evening.”

Pancha’s stories are some of those that I re-read every few months, cos they were that damned good. Your stories, Spumoni, are ones that I re-read because they’re that damned good. Different writers, different stories, but definitely the same level of quality. You’ve been in my favorite authors list since I first read you, and that’s not going to change, Spumoni. Like, *ever*. Now then, on to this installment: I want to see how much longer Bette’s patience holds out with the lawyer… maybe Alice can like, play on his paranoia til he goes back to the office. As for Tina… her girlcrush must be starting to evolve, I think. I hope she talks to Bronwyn about those implications and complicating factors soon. Great chapter, I look forward to more of the dinner. Thanks Spumoni! :)
Yes, I love all this intrigue and I love the idea of the girlcrush that Tina has sold herself. I also miss Pancha and am grateful you have come to us with this wonderfully well-written story. Hmmmm (humming)
Ah, Bette is besotted!
Hi, dear sweet Spumoni! *waving* Let the fireworks begin! All the pent up feelings, the inner thoughts, eagerness on the comments; all of them were just wonderful, dearest friend. Bette’s disdain to everything that Eric said or remarked, was hilarious. Alice was very accute on her interventions. Yep. Bette should thank her for doing such a great job with Tina and Eric. Ah, goose bumps and electricity running on both B&T’s hands and bodies are described beautifully. We truly enjoyed reading this update, sweetie. Thanks for being so generous.

Well Spumoni…you may think this is plodding, but I think it’s building the tension between them. One doesn’t think that they are hetero for their whole lif and in one meeting jump into the arms of a lesbian (even Bette Porter). This is very sexy the way you are building the emotion bit by bit. Can’t wait for your next post!
Hope this is going to be a really long dinner. Can’t get enough of it!
Pancha’s “Is this Love” is indeed a classic, as are most of her later works. RIP Pancha. Spumoni, I put you in a similar league as Pancha. Your wolves story is sheer genius. I am enjoying the pace of this one too.
Oh yes…the power of a hand-shake! Ah-hah!!!! Nice build up in tension! I’ll go check Pancha’s story…but only becuase I’m waiting for your next update. :)
don’t sell yourself short…your stories are absolutely wonderful…this chapter is another delight…did i miss bette’s humming? have to read it again :)
They speak!And a ‘personal’ tour of the gallery has begun. Well, too bad for Porter (not!) that she can’t slink back to her office just yet. We’ll all just have to learn to deal with our collective goose bumps. While I recommend that everyone read ALL of Pancha’s stories because every last one of them was terrific (and as great a writer as she was, she was an even better person. I miss her every day.), I would say the same about you, which is why you’re one of the few I still read around here anymore. And why, like fortlw, I remember the wolf pack (both the two and four legged members) and wish they’d come trotting this way again. Oh, and Bette does owe Alice thanks, even if Alice’s efforts were mainly for her own amusement.
Wait, was that some kind of secret lesbian handshake like the Free Masons have? Why didn’t anybody tell me? How does it go again? No finger pulling involved, I hope.
Another great update..thanks. Tina is so funny with her “girlcrush” safety net. I love it. Can’t wait for the next part.
However, the two of them had never discussed the implications of having a girlcrush on a lesbian. Tina sensed that that was definitely a complicating factor and that she needed to talk to Bronwyn at her first opportunity….. do you sense that Tina? you might just want to ‘text’ Bronwyn ‘honey.’
Your stories are absolutely brilliant. Thank you for them. Finally they meet again. And now how will the plodding go :) Thank you again:)
Spumoni, the wit and pace of YOUR story led me to recall Pancha’s “What is Love.” I love this story. Take your time, “plod” (your term) if you like. I am happy lingering in the le salon de la Bette Porter. Yes, Pancha was a very good writer. You are in my favorites as well. Thank you.
My brother made his childhood toolbox into a briefcase when he was eight years old, as well. Eric is a tool, and a dull one at that. I guess Bette and Tina will be in a full embrace before he is aware of what’s going on. I love seeing Bette’s characteristic confidence undone by her attraction to Tina. Alice is making lots of points (talking and otherwise) with Bette. Bette owes her big time! Thanks!
