Thomas hoped Marcone would Kill Lara?

The usefulness of this strategy is dependent on how quickly the protection is reestablished after the act. Mere seconds and they may get burns no matter how careful they are, A few minutes or more and this would be workable. Jim knows surely(or at least he should) but that may be going into too much detail.

I don't think it works that way, unless Justine's girlfriend came to live with them and they had sex just before she had sex with Thomas. Remember HWWB/Justine confesses to Harry on the boat how she set things up so she'd get pregnant and be able to blackmail Thomas into becoming an assassn.

I was keeping it strictly mechanical. Justine and 3rd party have sex to disable protection and then she gets with Thomas which resets it. If it resets instantly, then no cuddles would be possible and they have to spring away from each other to avoid burns. If it takes some time, then there would be cover for your theory about how HWWB pulled this off.

I doubt that it is that simple, especially if by Ghost Story she was taken over by Nemesis.. That is the point of what HWWB/Justine said, it was all planned out, so it is very doubtful that there was a true love reset there, because there was none. It was all an act, that isn't to say that the real Justine isn't buried in there somewhere, but she lost the battle long ago.
vincentric:
The only reason that I have some doubts about her being completely possessed until after Cold Days is because HWWB could have gotten what he wanted if he had struck while they were confronting Maeve. From the time Harry's backup team covers themselves in mud, until they were at the finale where Harry summons Mab, Justine was inside Demonreach's defenses and was not watched suspiciously as everyone was concerned with rushing to Harry's aid. No one, with the possible exception of Mouse would have seen it coming.
