Chapter 2

Lauren

Lauren watches the retreating figure disappear into the darkness unable to think for a moment as the remnants of Bo's touch continue to roll across her skin. Bo had never truly frightened the doctor before and she needed several minutes in order to collect herself before finally getting up off the floor. The blonde walked straight towards the front door, closing it and sliding the dead bolt home. This simple action helps to calm her further till she can finally begin to figure out what has just taken place.

Pouring herself a glass of wine, the still slightly shaken doctor sits in the dark staring out the window wondering where Bo could be and if she is alright. The instinct to protect Bo from herself and anyone else that may cause her harm was still strong in the blonde doctor. The fact that the succubus hadn't actually physically hurt her gave her the slightest glimmer of hope that somehow, in the future, they may actually be able to rebuild the relationship that had become so very important to her. "Was it just Bo's anger that caused the succubus to act that way, or was it something else?" Lauren could not imagine the Bo she knows ever being so cold and harsh to anyone, even someone that had hurt her the way she had. Lauren had never seen Bo use her power to ever hurt or dominate anyone maliciously. The succubus had pulsed a lot of desire into the doctor, enough that just the thought of it made her body betray her with an overwhelming ache deep between her legs. Lauren pressed her thighs together waiting for the feeling to pass, taking several deep calming breathes.

What could she do? Call Kenzi and say what exactly? Even if Lauren knew what to say to the little goth girl, it wasn't like she would believe her. Kenzi would probably just say "Bo's angry and has every right to be. So suck it up, Dr. Freeze, and get over it."

Lauren sighed loudly. "Maybe it would have been better if Bo had just drained me," she said to the empty room. Everything seemed to be piling up over the last few weeks. The Ash's displeasure that Lauren had not successfully kept Bo away from Vex had been obvious and unpleasant. The doctor had worked tirelessly over the past five years earning his respect and confidence. Seeing that she had lost his favour had affected her more than expected.

Having to ask Dyson to help Bo with Vex also gnawed at the blonde. Dyson being Bo's hero again just intensified her feelings of inadequacy at the failure of protecting Bo . At least The Ash was slowly starting to treat her like he had before the incident.

But losing Bo was proving very difficult to move past. She hated herself for even getting this emotionally involved with the succubus. She knew it would get messy right from the start, but she did it anyway and look where it got her. It's my fault, all of it. The doctor had seen how much pain she had caused Bo. It had been written all over the brunette's face, so why didn't she deserve that much and more in return?

Lauren's feeling towards the succubus had grown even more, if that was even possible, the constant pain she felt tearing her up inside. The usually in control doctor had lost count of the times when she had to slip away somewhere private to be alone, to collect herself from the emotions threatening to spill over. It was affecting her work on all fronts and it was driving her crazy. Lauren sat in the dark emotionally exhausted, unable to shut down the swirling mass of feelings that would not relent.

"Karma's a bitch," that's what Kenzi would say, Lauren thought with a small shake of her head. I'm sure Bo acted this way because she's hurt and angry, Lauren mused. It had been building up inside the succubus for three weeks before finally spilling over. Add in Bo's hunger and who can blame her for doing what she did? Best to just put it behind me and forget it ever happened, the blonde decided with an audible sigh.

Finishing the last of her wine, Lauren proceeded to put the glass in the sink and headed for the stairs, hoping that she wouldn't have too much trouble getting the sleep she so clearly needed.

Bo

After running for what felt like an eternity, the dark haired succubus slowed to a walk before stopping altogether to take in large gulps of air. Sweat was dripping off her brow as she leaned shaky hands on her knees trying frantically to catch her breath. The succubus was still hungry. It gnawed at her relentlessly urging her to keep moving, to find what she so desperately needed. Up ahead Bo spied a woman trying to flag down a cab. The succubus took in the sight of the figure in front of her with ravenous eyes. Dressed in what looked like a very expensive perfectly fitted little black dress, she was an exquisite sight to behold. Bo admired the view for a moment longer as a cab pulled up to the curb, before coming to a halt next to the beautiful redhead.

The brunette sauntered up to the women and lay a hand on her exposed shoulder, letting a large pulse of power escape from her fingers. With a sharp intake of breath a pair of sparkling green eyes turned towards the succubus.

"Hello there," Bo purrs taking in the red head's delicate features. "Mind if we share a cab, I have been waiting here forever trying to get one." The succubus releases another pulse into the woman, enjoying the look of pure wanton lust entering those shining eyes.

"Where do you need to go," the woman asks between quick, shallow breaths.

"Your place would be lovely, don't you think?" Bo responds with a sultry smile playing across moist red lips.

"Oh yes that would be… God yes, let's go."

"After you," says the succubus sliding her hand down to the small of the women's back ushering her into the cab.

"What's your name?," the brunette enquires, placing a hand on the woman's thigh gently infusing another dose of desire.

"Holly," the redhead replies in a barely audible whisper.

"I'm Bo, it's a pleasure to meet you ."

"God you're beautiful. I really want to kiss you. Can I please kiss you?"

Bo smiles, tracing a power filled finger along the red head's cheek to her chin, pulling her slowly towards her full parted lips for a sweet but chaste first kiss. Bo intensifies the kiss, taking a little sip of Holly's essence. The woman tastes like apples and sunshine, she tastes delicious. Holly groans into the succubus' mouth, tongue probing Bo's with a desperate urgency. The two women did not notice that the cab had stopped until the cab driver, trying not to openly stare, clears his throat and says, "that will be $16.89 ladies." Holly gives a small whimper of disappointment when Bo withdraws from the kiss. The succubus pulls a $20 from her leather jacket and tosses it to the driver. "Keep the change," she says before sliding out after the redhead and slamming the cab door.

After entering a modest looking apartment building, Holly grasps Bo's hand as they enter an elevator and begin their assent to the eleventh floor. Bo taking advantage of having the elevator to themselves, pushes the enamoured redhead into the corner before crushing her lips against the other woman's in a fierce chi sucking kiss. Bo pulls back with difficulty wanting to at least make it to the woman's apartment before taking her fill. Wouldn't want another dead kill in an elevator, Bo thinks as flashes of the distant memory glance the forefront of her mind. The memory causing the succubus to again question what is driving this insatiable hunger circulating inside her entire being. The elevator finally reaching it's destination opens it's doors allowing the women to enter another smaller hallway lined with doors on either side. Before entering the red head's home, the succubus scans the hallway making sure no one has seen her enter the apartment.

Kenzi

Dyson is driving a very drunk Kenzi home from the Dal. "Hey Kenzi, did you see where Bo went tonight?"

"Nope, can't say I did wolf man. I didn't know I had to keep a leash on her," Kenzi slurred in response. "She probably just found a nice fae to snack on and took 'em home. She's big enough to look after herself, Dyson."

Dyson gave a low growl in response trying not to think about Bo and whomever she had decided to snack on.

"Okay, Kenzi out you get, we're here."

Kenzi looked up fondly at the debilitated building, that was home to her and the succubus. It looked dark and quiet; Bo must have gone home with someone.

With a final small wave at Dyson, Kenzi stumbled up the stairs heading for the closest soft surface to pass out on.

Bo

Bo woke up with a start unsure of where she was. The room was dark, only a few discernible shapes visible. Reaching out to what looked like a bedside lamp she fumbled in the dark looking for the switch. Light flooded the tastefully decorated modern bedroom causing the succubus to blink a few times allowing her eye's to adjust to the sudden brightness. With newly adjusted eye's Bo looked to the other person occupying the bed. It was a sight she had seen many times before, but was surprised by how little she felt as she took in the view of the dead woman lying next to her. She should care that she had taken this woman's life right?, That the monster inside her had claimed yet another victim. The succubus just stared curiously at the wide open eye's, creepy smile and spidery blue veins and felt nothing. Bo did, however, think about what she should do about the problem. Do I just leave her here, would they be able to trace the body to me? she wondered.

Making a decision she pulled out her phone and called Dyson. The light and dark clean up messes all the time, why shouldn't they clean up mine? Bo paced the small distance of the room waiting for Dyson to pick up.

"Bo, what is it, it's late?" growled the shifter on the other end of the line.

"Well, hello to you too, Dyson," Bo retorted. Bo realised that she should be more upset about what's happened so adjusted her voice to sound a bit more distressed.

"Dyson, I really need your help, I fed off someone and … and … oh Dyson, I don't know what happened, why I couldn't stop. I woke up and … she's dead."

There was nothing but breathing on the line for a moment, then Dyson obviously coming to a decision told her to find out where she was and text him the address.

"Hale and I will take care of it Bo, go home, I will call you later."

Bo hung up the phone a slow smile creeping onto the succubus's face. "Well that was easier than I thought it would be," she said to herself.
