Fire and Ice Chapter 19
April 1999
Tina pretended to be surprised as Bette came to stand directly beside her, their shoulders mere millimeters apart.
"Do you like this?" Bette asked, her tone saccharine sweet. She took her eyes from the painting and presented them to Tina, her question adoringly authentic. She genuinely wanted to know.
Tina was already staring at her with amazement and bent her head to blush when their eyes met. The alcohol had made her cheeks rosy to begin with, so she was sure her face was seven shades of red by now.
"I do. I really like this one…there’s so much beauty there…" Tina focused her eyes on the painting, trying to maintain small talk.
"I agree." Bette concurred, clearly not talking about the painting.
Tina quickly met Bette’s eyes. She knew exactly what Bette was talking about.
Tina stood, lips slightly apart, not frowning or smiling, just looking into the brunette’s eyes. She found so much peace in there…and so much want.
Bette’s face suddenly softened as her throat issued a slight giggle. Her lips spread into an enchanting smile as she casually lifted her palm to Tina’s blonde hair.
Tina braced herself, not yet ready to succumb to such public physical advances. Slightly drunk or not, she knew full well what would happen if anyone spotted them. She herself had not completely admitted what the attraction to Bette was all about. She definately didn’t need to start fielding questions from would-be gossip hounds.
"Oh, it looks like you’ve lost your earring in you hair…" Bette gave off a thousand kilowatt smile as she gently extracted the golden earring from Tina’s blonde tresses. Despite her reservations, Tina felt compelled to tilt her head in order to feel more of the brunette’s touch. Bette extended her hand and lightly swept through the blonde’s tender curls, obliging the Tina’s silent request.
Tina’s body instantly relaxed and offered a shy laugh in response.
Bette removed her hand from Tina with care. She raised her palm and stopped just parallel to Tina’s breasts. She spread her fingers out delicately to reveal the earring, inviting Tina to retrieve it from her open hand.
Tina hesitantly placed her fingers in Bette’s soft flesh, lingering there for a moment before drawing back, smoothly dragging her nails as her hand departed. Bette’s entire body imploded with pure pleasure.
"Tina…" Bette began, sounding like she was almost in pain. "Do you want to go somewhere…?"
Tina felt both fear and desire soak her from head to toe. She locked eyes with Bette, trying desperately to tell her yes, but confliction won out. Tina took a short gulp of her remaining cocktail.
"To put your earring back on…do you need a mirror, I mean." Bette changed paths masterfully, weary of pressuring Tina after seeing the hesitancy in her eyes.
"Yeah…that would be nice…" Tina began, shaded with absolute relief. "I think these drinks are catching up with me too…if you could just point me in the direction of the bathroom then I will…" Tina stopped as Bette waved her hand and shook her head.
"Please…just use the private one in my office…no lines…" Bette smiled enticingly. "Would that be alright?"
Tina nodded, once again rendered speechless, enchanted by the brunette’s smile.
"It’s just right over here…follow me…" Bette pointed as her eyes tried to maintain a level of mock common courtesy. She was having trouble keeping her mind straight knowing that soon her and Tina would be behind closed doors.
Tina joined Bette in stride as they made the short distance to her office, their arms brushing softly as they walked.

Wow do we need to wait,I dont mind but poor Bette and Tina,waiting and wanting must be hard thanks
Firestarter, you should have no problems whatsoever with an NC-17! Of course, we may all be 90 years old at the rate you’re going with this story! Just kidding…naw for real! LOL I’m afraid to read the NC-17, cause if it’s as hot as these chapters have been, my computer will combust!!!
I feel a kiss and more in the future! PPS
Torture…Woman…Torture…but oh so good
One of the more interesting takes on the B/T beginning. I’m really enjoying this. Good work :D
LOL at bettyvhall’s comment. Has it come to this? We ( the fanfic readers) are now concerned about fanfic Bette wantng and waiting on Tina. I mean, I don’t mind waiting but you know how impatient Bette is. Right? Firestarter….you there? PS.
As much as we all know what will happen, as much I can’t wait to read it !!:-)), PPS !!
Sure, the pace you’ve set may very well be frustratingly slow, but wow…the buildup and anticipation are just incredible. I’ll take the slow burn – you’ve written it so superbly. Though it is a bit warm in here…
I must check the site at least 20 times a day for an update. I so love the slow burn of this story. Pretty please…some “action” in the next post? A kiss maybe? Anything?
Wow, nothing like a slow torturous build up to the kiss that must be coming PLEASE!! Can’t wait for the next chapter, they deserve some alone time
Hey, Fire ~ Just wondering if I’d be asking too much if someone at the gallery forgot to restock the handtowels and Bette had to come to Tina’s rescue in the private powder room…Hmmmm…just wondering. Love the build – wish you would post more than once a day!
I’m terrified for you to write an NC-17 too…Afraid I might spontaneously combust while reading it!! I’ve got to say, your writing really let’s me feel the chemistry between these two. It’s almost like you are writing an NC-17 without it actually being an NC-17 so I can’t even imagine what it will be like when you do write an NC-17. I’m not saying this to add pressure, I’m saying it because it’s the truth. Bring on the NC-17!!
OMG….that was soooo sensuous! You really do have the knackfor making your words palpable to the reader. Damn, now I have to wait for the next update!
title should be “step into my office, said the spider to the fly” u were right this is going at a frustrating slow pace, bring on the kiss, and longer chapters!!!!
What is this slow torture. I’m dying here.
OMG this slow dance is driving me nuts,lol…:)PPS
Talk about a “dance of romance,” that only they can do and do so well without even knowing that they are doing so. Loved it. Bring on the NC-17, we know that will happen soon. PPS
firestarter, you have great flair with words. Just write the way you are doing, with fluidity.. let the action flow with feeling naturally.. PPS
ooooohhhhhhhhhh such slow,sweet torture!!c’mon Bette make your move already….lol…i love this story….thanks firestarter …PPS.
honestly, i’m terrified to write the NC-17…so much pressure…;)
omfg…torture…u COULD get a job with the C.I.A. …PPS.
Office, huh? That was just so lame. Not to metion the mirror thing, it’s clear in their foreheads just how they want to be alone. This waiting is so excruciating…
Ok now let see action coming lol!
