Chapter One – Alone with You
She rolled over and felt the sheets next to her without opening her eyes, the sheets were cold which immediately caused her hazel orbs to pop open. She sat up slightly and scanned the room. "Baby?" her voice was raspy, even to her own ears. When she got no response she slipped out of bed and into her kimono, taking an extra second to grab the blade near her bed. She walked on the toes of her feet, trying not to make any of the creaky boards in the clubhouse signal her movements to any intruders.
She descended the stairs like a phantom, making nary a noise as she slunk towards the living room. On the last few stairs, she flattened her body against the wall in the stairwell, trying to block herself from view of an intruder. On the last step she swung around swiftly to survey the room and her girlfriend ran smack into her chest, almost spilling the coffee she had in her hand. "Umph." Bo groaned on impact and Lauren let out a little shout of surprise. This caused Bo to burst into laughter, which she tried to hide behind her hand, knowing she was at fault for their collision.
"How many times do I have to tell you about sneaking around the house?" Lauren scolded her but her eyes were smiling.
Bo bit her lip, trying not to get too distracted at how adorable her girlfriend looked in just an oversized button down, her hair still disheveled from sleep. When she didn't answer, Lauren waved her hand in front of her girlfriends face "Hello, earth to Bo?"
Bo reached out and snaked her arm around the blonde's waist, tugging her into her body firmly, she always felt more content being wrapped up in Lauren's aura. She took a deep breath of the blonde's smell before answering. "How many times do I have to tell you a succubus with a human girlfriend and human best friend who is constantly at war with different Under Fae baddies, is never going to stop sneaking around the house equip with weapons when she thinks something might be wrong." The brunette placed feather light kisses against her girlfriends neck when she was done and the blonde groaned with pleasure and tilted her head further to the side, inviting Bo to continue with her affections.
"Well then we need to install an intercom so you can stop ninja-ing around the house in your robe every time I wake up before you." Lauren smirked and Bo chuckled into her neck, pulling back to look at her.
"That's actually a pretty good idea."
"That's the only kind I have sweetheart." Lauren winked at her and Bo shook her head and beamed, staring in disbelief at how beautiful her girlfriend was, wondering if she would ever get used to feeling so lucky.
"Is this for me?" She asked, nodding towards the coffee in Lauren's hand, already wrapping her fingers around it.
"Of course baby." Lauren gave her the coffee and placed a kiss on her brunette's lips. "Good morning, by the way."
They both chuckled and Bo took Lauren's hand and led them both back towards the bedroom. "Where's Kenzi?" Bo asked, she put her coffee and knife on the bedside table and slipped into her inviting sheets on her extravagant four-poster bed, it was probably the most extravagant thing she owned in the house besides her vast collection of weapons. She never really thought much about how much she loved her bed, it really spoke to her personal taste, a little old-fashioned and over the top. Obviously, her bedroom was her sanctuary, which for a succubus, sanctuary is an understatement.
"Kenzi went out with Ozzie for pancakes. I think it's good for her to be around humans more often, especially with the recent craziness of the Garuda and her getting kidnapped." Lauren said thoughtfully.
"I think you're very right babe, it's been a rough few weeks for everyone. Being with her own kind is good for her, that's why I'm so glad you two are getting along now. At least you have each other in this crazy Fae world you two have found yourselves mixed up in."
She propped up a couple pillows and laid her back against them, Lauren slid on top of the bed beside her and immediately rested her head against the brunettes chest and threw her leg over Bo's. Bo sighed contently, she wished every moment could be just like this, just the two of them together, wrapped in each other. She never felt more at peace than she did when her and Lauren were just alone together.
"I love spending my mornings with you like this, I wish it could be like this always." Bo whispered quietly, like her words were just for Lauren, even though they were already alone together.
Lauren lifted her head, resting her chin lightly on her girl's chest, looking up into her beautiful brown eyes. "What do you mean? We pretty much do spend every morning like this and when we're together it is always like this, at least for me. It doesn't matter who else is in the room, I still always just see you." Lauren said softly. Bo for some reason felt her eyes well a little bit. Lauren noticed it instantly and sat up. "Baby what's wrong?" She asked, her hand cupped Bo's cheek and her thumb absently brushed nonexistent tears from her cheeks.
Bo shook her head, trying to find the words. "Nothing, these are happy tears, I just don't understand how in the world I ever got so lucky, especially after all the shit I've done in my life. I never imagined I could be this happy, that I could have something like this with someone." She bit her lip and shook her head, trying to force the tears back into her eyeballs, knowing she was being silly. She so rarely got emotional, she was the calm, cool headed, non-aligned, independent, badass succubus for god's sake and here she was nearly crying about being in love.
Lauren pressed her lips to her girlfriend's lips, giving her a gentle, loving kiss. "You're not lucky, you're just incredible. You have the biggest heart of anyone I've ever met, human or Fae. You love your friends with all of your heart and you'd do anything to protect them and I admire you more than anyone I've ever met. You're completely selfless when it comes to protecting the people you love. You make me feel safe and sexy and loved and adored and special-" Now it was Lauren's turn to get choked up, she laughed and shook her head and Bo chuckled too at the state of the two of them. Lauren fought to get the words out, "-all at the same time. I never imagined I could have anything like we have either, because I didn't think anything like this was even a possibility. When you came into my life and sat down on my examination table, I knew I was going to fall in love with you. If I'm honest, I fell in love with you in that very moment. I felt like I'd been asleep until you walked into my life and suddenly everything was in full color, everything looked different, felt different. I felt alive all of a sudden, all because of you." They were both grinning at each other like idiots at this point. "I think we're both lucky." Lauren said, brushing her thumb against Bo's lower lip lovingly. The brunette couldn't help that her tongue darted out and she sucked the appendage into her warm mouth. Lauren's eyes closed blissfully and she bit her own lip.
Bo was suddenly very, very hungry. She all but dove across the bed, grabbing Lauren's head in her hands and kissing her until they were both breathless. She kissed her with pure hunger, her tongue exploring the other girls mouth like her kiss alone was keeping her alive.
"Baby, I have to go to work." Lauren mumbled in futility after some time.
"Mhmm," Bo wrapped her hands under Laurens knee's and pressed her onto her back in one smooth motion, wrapping the blondes thighs around her own waist. Lauren moaned and dug her fingers into Bo's scalp. "You can be late, I have some pull with the new Ash." Bo joked. Lauren bit her lip to try and stop the smile that crept over her.
"Well we both know we're not going to quit, just promise to be quick." Lauren pleaded though she knew this was also a futile request.
Bo shook her head as she kissed her way between Lauren's breasts. "Can't promise to be quick baby, can only promise to be thorough."
Lauren laughed and gripped her girlfriend harder with her thighs feeling the first waves of anticipatory pleasure ripple through her.
