Chapter One
Her footsteps echoed menacingly as she walked down the sidewalk of the deserted street. It was not in her intention to stay at the lab so late but it wouldn't have felt right if she had left her unfinished work for the next day. No. Lauren Lewis was never one to do such a thing. She was not wired to work that way. It simply did not feel right to procrastinate.
The area she was in was shoddy and dimly lit, save for the occasional flickering of the street lamps as she marched forward. I am definitely going to purchase a motorized vehicle soon. Walking home at 2am is not safe. Not safe at all. She wrapped her jacket closer around her body and picked up the pace as her eyes swept cautiously over her surroundings. It suddenly felt cold and dreadful, as if something was watching her from the dark corners.
As she passed an alleyway, her ears pricked at the sound of a grunt and faint shuffling. Her instincts kicked in and she jumped out of the alley's opening and planted her back flat against the wall. She held her breath and listened for further movement.
It was silent.
Her heart thrummed rapidly against her ribcage and in her ears. She was torn between wanting to run in hopes of escaping pending danger and investigating further in case someone was in danger.
Finally, there was a groan, murmuring, and some more shuffling. Her mind refused to command her limbs to make a run for it and instead screamed at her to check out the source. Something was pulling at her hips, beckoning her to move forward. Creeping behind the rancid smelling dumpster, she peeked over the rusting metal and spotted two lone figures partially hidden in darkness, wrestling fiercely in a lip lock. From what she could make out, a woman was pinned against the wall as the man held her in place with his body. The woman squirmed under his touch and struggled in his grasp.
The setting of their escapade was hardly romantic. Sexual assault?
Lauren gulped and took a deep, shaky breath before stepping out of her hiding spot and tiptoed quietly towards the two. When she was close enough and still at a safe distance, she opened her mouth to warn the man of her presence but was shocked when the woman suddenly overpowered her assailant, effectively throwing him on the floor with ease. He let out a strangled cry as his back hit the pavement with a crack. Lauren watched in fascination as the woman's unearthly blue eyes glowed dangerously in the dark as she straddled the body, their faces inches apart.
A blue mist emitted from the man's mouth and into the woman's. He twitched beneath her and a few moments later, stopped moving all together. I-It's as if sh-she sucked the life out of him! She let out a gasp.
The glowing blue eyes jerked in her direction causing her to jump.
Before she could even think of turning her back and running away, the woman was standing right in front of her in a blink of an eye. "My, my, my. What do we have here?" The voice was as smooth as silk. Lauren's knees almost buckled at the sound coming from the beautiful woman. "What's a pretty little human doing wandering around here at this time of night? Has anyone ever told you that monsters could be prancing about?" The woman said lazily as she reached forward and traced a finger down her jaw.
Lauren was glued in place, mesmerized completely. The blue-eyed woman was dressed in a high collared jacket; the v of her shirt dipped so low that it showed a significant amount of cleavage and tanned skin. She practically oozed sex in the tight jeans and fuck-me heels. The woman's hand was now rested on her collarbone. Fingertips left a blazing trail of electricity on her heated skin that coursed through her body and in between her legs. She shuddered at her growing arousal. "I-I thought… you… rape." She said weakly.
The brunette chuckled darkly and circled behind her, bringing the hand on her collarbone to her breast. Lauren moaned when the delicate fingers squeezed her roughly. "As if a mere human could achieve that fate," The hot breath ground out against her ear. "Mmm, your sexual energy smells delicious. I have never experienced anything like it. I could just – " She inhaled audibly, " – eat you right up." The last bit of her sentence turned into a growl and finally, Lauren's legs gave way.
The woman swept her up effortlessly and smashed their lips together. Lauren felt like she was in heaven as the bittersweet lips moved roughly against hers. The achingly familiar rush of dopamine and norepinephrine clouding her senses drove her head further up to the clouds. The piercing blue eyes and her heightened arousal was all she remembered before everything faded to black.
Bo slipped out of her lavender bath and into a silky red kimono. Slicking her wet hair back, she smirked at herself through the mirror before sauntering over to her bedroom. There, lying peacefully on the couch nestled in the corner of her room was the human she encountered after draining the life out of a lecherous asshole.
After feasting upon the blonde's delicious energy, she was greatly disappointed when the human lay in her arms unmoving. The woman's sexual aura was absolutely delectable and when the moment was over, she found herself craving more. Just as she was about to (grudgingly) toss the body into the dumpster, the blonde had let out a moan. At that moment, something sparked deep within her. Something that she had not genuinely felt in a long time.
Unadulterated desire.
What surprised her even further was the fact that the human was still alive after she sucked all the energy out of her body.
What a predicament this is. Bo stared at the naked woman wrapped in a blanket. When she enslaved humans, she made sure they were humiliated and made to do the dirtiest of deeds for the Fae community. The lucky ones that were educated enough to be of some use to them were allowed to be dressed in proper clothing, given a decent job with pay and were not treated as poorly.
A knock on her door snapped her out of her thoughts. Looking at the security monitor on the wall, she noticed the eccentric Fae bouncing around on the toes of his feet outside her door. "Enter."
The large metal doors swung open and Vex the Mesmer (and also her right-hand man) gingerly skipped in. "Hello Bobokins!" The crooked smile on his face disappeared at the smell of a human. "I knew I smelled something!" He frowned deeply at the sleeping figure. "You never bring filthy humans into your chambers! Don't tell me it's dead. Let me – " he lifted his hand.
"VEX." She seethed out warningly.
"Alright, alright, don't get your panties in a bunch." He dropped his hand in defeat and examined the blonde closely from head to toe. "This one's certainly easy on the eyes, ain't she? Now let me see…" He proceeded to lift the covers.
"I am claiming that human. Back off."
Vex's maniacal laughter bounced off the walls. "The Empress is claiming a human?" He leapt backwards and hopped around the room. "What a day this is! Why are you claiming a human, that isn't like you at all!"
"This one's sexual aura is…" Bo gazed out the window at the memory of the taste. Her blue eyes darkened with lust as her hunger flared up once again. "Phenomenal. I simply can't wrap my mind around it. I have never tasted anything like this. Not even from any Fae I've fed on."
"Oh, oh, oh! A free show!" Vex clapped his hands excitedly. "Better yet, let me join in."
"Have you come in here just to bother me, Vex? If that's the case get your greasy ass out of my chambers. I expect you back here at 1pm along with The Morrigan and The Ash for a new assignment. I've let you fuck around long enough. "
The Mesmer's energetic movements ceased. With a slouch of his shoulders he opened the doors. "Yes Milady." He then gave a contorted smile. "If you ever fancy another – "
Bo growled and he was gone.
Sweet baby Jesus. I have no BETA and I am half awake. So I apologize if anything is out of whack with my typing.
I promise later chapters will be longer. What do you think?
