After unpacking her things in the room she’d been given, Bette decided to change into another bikini set. She tossed sunscreen and other beach essentials, grabbed a large floppy hat, and then slipped on a gauzy bikini cover.
She saw Tom was already lounging in a hammock in the private beach area of the cottage. A cocktail was set down in the sand, next to one of the trees the hammock was tied to.
Bette walked over to him and laughed as she pushed gently on the hammock. “You’re livin’ the good life out here, aren’t you sailor?”
Tom murmured something incoherently and then pointed to a spot over his head.
Bette gave him a last gentle nudge and walked to the hammock tied a few feet away.
Just as she relaxed into the hammock, she heard her cell ring. “Hi, baby,” she greeted Tina warmly.
“Wow … I didn’t expect the cell reception to be so clear in the middle of the ocean!” Tina exclaimed.
“Oh, no, baby, we had to change our plans. We’ve gone to the Golden Cove… the resort-spa that Juliana mentioned two nights ago, remember … because we were told there was a tropical storm that suddenly developed. Tom was afraid that we’d be hit by the storm where we were anchored in, so we left,” Bette explained.
“Oh, good. So if Jackson needs to reach you, he can either call your cell or the Golden Cove?”
“Sure … but why does Jackson need to reach me?” Bette asked.
“He called me half an hour ago, just as I was wrapping things up here in the office, said he needs to speak to you about a conference in Switzerland sometime in mid-January,” Tina started to say.
“Oh, yeah. He mentioned that as I was walking to the car with Dave. Said that it’s one of those memberships that all the big names amongst foundations, finance, and other areas belong to, and their annual retreat takes place in Switzerland in January. He said Peter had been a member of that group, and that he could easily transition that membership to me, since his foundation’s assets are moving to mine,” Bette continued.
“Where is Dave now, by the way?” Tina asked, after a moment’s pause.

‘It could turn out to be a fatal mistake’ is the intriguing tempting sentence and then 21 pages later we’re still wondering!
Great Story over it’s many twists and turns and another great chapter. Thank you looking forward to 33.
Indeed still wondering about that sentence.
It is a very good and intriguing story, so many happens and it keeps you captivated to the end.
I like all appreciate the beauty of Brete, I like Tom drooling over Bette, Tina presume I like his love Bette, please keep writing and indulging with your stories, thank you very much!
I bet those fishing shops have nice little pointy knives…the kind you can strap to….well – where ever you can hide one ! The girls have to win ! Mr Green with the lead pipe in the library ! Get that snake off her path !
Love your story and look forward to every twist! I don’t even try to guess where you’re going, but just hang on for the bumpy ride. I’m probably in the minority, but I can’t stomach Tom! He is so inappropriate and disrespectful. A peeping Tom that doesn’t bother to hide in the bushes. At least Ashley called him out on his behavior. Cannot imagine Tina allowing him to be their donor and Bette allowing him to continually ogle her. Don’t imagine Bette would tolerate Miller acting that way towards Tina. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
Hi, am glad you are enjoying the story, and thanks for telling me what you think. Several thoughts in response: 1) the Bette in this storyline is an inveterate flirt, something that Tina has had problems with from the start ( see early chapters in “Let It Happen” and a few chapters in “Love Soul Heaven Hell), yet she believes she’s in control of it… we’ll see; 2) all the same, she is insanely devoted to Tina; 3) and Tina feels the same. But still, there was a point when they were questioning their expectations about the other (in their own ways; in “Let It Happen”). I have to say I once wrote out a couple of chapters that threw into that (crazy) mix an issue, sexual fluidity, that seems highly relevant to people. Or maybe fluidity expressed in various ways — one chapter that was going into “Let It Happen” after they broke up, and another for “Love Soul Heaven Hell” after the chapter on cheating), that explored those issues in an interlocking way. The chapters were interesting, and took the storyline in unexpected directions, but they each didn’t fit into the flow of the books, so I ended up shelving them. I may pick up on them again, because I think the topic is… well, topical!
In the meantime, I hope Tom doesn’t turn you completely off the rest of the story. (Maybe you can give him a break … don’t we all have those male friends who we know we won’t end up dating but like playing with, anyway?) :-) hope you enjoy the rest of the ride.
ok, from the fishing shop Miller gets a box cutter to be detected by Green’s detector which gives him a feeling of being clever. She also gets 2 or 3 large plastic cable ties, makes great restraints, some plastic fishing line that can be wrapped around the neck, easy and a lot of praying! Excellent chapter. Keep going!!!! PLEASE.
I do not like all this charm
Tom play Bette, ok! He and his friend

Changing the subject I like the pace
