A/N: Reminder: SPOILER ALERT for 509!
Thanks for all of the feedback, faves, and follows. It means more than a quick note could say.
I rarely write fic that's longer than 100 words at a go or that's got a sex scene. And yet, here we are. This sets up for another chapter, but I'm not sure that I have enough plot figured out to write another chapter. We'll see. Right now, I'm swamped at work, so I'm not sure I'd even have time. I'll see what I can do.
Bo and Lauren had both been exhausted, the kind you feel deep all the way to your bones. They both acknowledged their own want for the other, but ultimately, once they crawled info Bo's bed and wound their bodies together, they were blanketed with sleep.
Despite nearly dying, Lauren was the one who slept soundly. Bo, on the other hand, woke more then once from a nightmare, watching Lauren thrown to the ground again and again, waking each time with a sheen of sweat all over her body. Eventually, she decided to lay awake for awhile. She held Lauren closer to her and took solace in the steady calm of Lauren's breathing.
She wasn't sure how long she was awake before Lauren stirred. The darkness of the windows told Bo it was still early, predawn. Lauren yawned and stretched her long limbs, curling back around Bo's lithe form. Bo let out s slight laugh when Lauren moved her hand across Bo's midsection. "It tickles," she whispered by way of explanation.
"I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were awake." Lauren moved her head to look up a Bo.
"Restless night, I guess." Bo wasn't sure she wanted to tell Lauren her subconscious kept replaying the accident in her dreams.
"Would you like me to move over a little, give you a little space?"
"Not s chance," Bo said as she leaned over to kiss the part in Lauren's hair. They were still and quiet for quite awhile, just holding one another.
"Bo?"
"Hm?"
"You taste amazing. Your chi, I mean. It's like nothing I've ever experienced. Has anyone ever told you that?"
"No one ever tastes it. My mom is the only other succubus I know, and I've never met an incubus. And usually, if I'm giving my chi to someone, it's more that they're dying than that they're actually experiencing it."
"That last bit of chi you gave me? Wow." Bo chuckled at the enthusiastic surprise in Lauren's voice. "Does everyone taste good to you?" Lauren asked her.
"No. I mean, there's not really a lot of bad chi out there, unless it's been intentionally tainted. I'm not crazy about ogres or the one lupercus I've tasted."
Lauren chuckled. "Dyson would absolutely love hearing that you didn't like the taste of his arch enemy." Bo chuckled, too.
"I know, right?"
"How does chi make you feel?"
"Good chi is definitely satisfying. My body buzzes with it. Really good chi, though, that can be nearly orgasmic. You," she paused to bring Lauren's hand to her lips to kiss, "have really, really good chi. I still want to talk about your decision to do this, but not as much as I want to taste your fae chi. Your human chi tasted better than any fae chi I've tasted, so—"
"Really? My human chi tasted better than fae chi? You don't have to lie about that."
"Lauren, that's the truth. Maybe it's about love. There's still a lot I don't know about my species. I do know, though, that I've never tasted anything that could come close to the few sips I've taken from you. There were times I just wanted to devour you, but it was more important to me to be careful. As good as your chi may be, all of you—in one piece—means more." Bo felt Lauren smile into her skin. She hadn't set out to pepper Lauren with compliments; she was being truthful.
"Flattery will get you… everywhere, Bo Dennis," Lauren told her, moving slightly away from Bo to prop herself up on her arm.
"Do you promise?" Bo asked with a grin. She rolled onto her side to face Lauren, propping her head up on her hand.
"Oh, yes."
"Do tell." Lauren silenced Bo with the touch of her index finger to Bo's lips. A second after touching Bo's beautiful mouth, Lauren ran the tip of her finger across Bo's lips, feeling the soft skin just waiting for her. Bo parted her lips slightly, inviting Lauren to slip her finger into Bo's mouth, but Lauren withdrew, running her finger down Bo's chin, her neck, her collarbone, and between Bo's breasts. She paused them and moved her hand to take Bo's hip as she leaned forward to kiss her. Lauren's touch was soft, her lips moving gently against Bo's. Bo's mouth had remained slightly parted, and when Lauren's opened, they explored one another in s way that conveyed they needed but weren't needy. Lauren's hand on Bo's hip worked Bo, laying her on her back. Lauren moved atop her, her thigh sliding between Bo's. When the soft skin of Lauren's thigh moved in with a gentle press against Bo's sex, she moaned into Lauren's kiss. Lauren knew that was her green light to drive Bo forward wherever Lauren wanted to go.
Lauren's lips left Bo's in favor of an exploration of her lover's skin. She placed kisses on Bo's chin, her jawline, moving down Bo's neck as Bo began to work her fingers into Lauren's hair with one hand, while the other moved down to cup Lauren's ass. At that bit of encouragement, Lauren nipped at the skin where Bo's neck became her shoulder, and Bo let out a sigh Lauren knew meant that she should keep going.
Bo moaned again, louder, when Lauren made her way to Bo's breasts, paying them each due respect with the curling of her tongue and the way her teeth moved over Bo's sensitive skin. While Lauren's mouth paid attention to Bo's chest, the hand she'd be trailing down Bo's torso moved down to the curls of Bo's abdomen, tracing circles through Bo's hair before moving down to caress the inside of Bo's thighs.
"Lauren," Bo breathed out, one hand kneading Lauren's scalp, which the hand on Lauren's ass pulled her closer still. The way Bo pushed Lauren closer in made Lauren smile into the skin of Bo's abdomen. She crawled back up Bo's middle to place more kisses on her neck, her jaw, and the corner of Bo's mouth before taking her into a fiery kiss. Bo's head rose from the bed to keep contact with Lauren's fevered lips as Lauren sank her fingers between Bo's folds. The slight loss of control that Bo had had in their kiss told Lauren Bo wouldn't be able to draw this teasing out long before her need would be too great. Lauren moved her mouth back to teasing and sucking Bo's nipples while her fingers moved through Bo's wetness. She dipped two fingers inside Bo and moved her slick fingers to Bo's core, caressing Bo's nerve center before applying more pressure and intensity.
The sounds Bo made when they made love drove Lauren mad with want. Lauren doubted her touches could ever convey the passion Bo ignited in her.
When Lauren quickened her pace, Bo felt her own skin quiver. "God, Lauren. You feel," she paused. It was becoming damn near impossible to speak. "So... so...good." The last word was practically a growl. Lauren moved her fingers in and out of Bo while her thumb worked Bo's bud. When she started to feel Bo's muscles contract against her hand, she grazed Bo ever so lightly with her short nails.
Bo tipped over the edge, and she was loud. Lauren moved her hand to Bo's hip, resting it on her hipbone while she felt her girlfriend tremble beneath her. Bo's sights and sounds drove Lauren mad, and she moved against Bo's thigh, feeling her own wetness there before Bo even touched her.
Lauren's next move was pure instinct. Her mouth moved hard against Bo's before she pulled away slightly, the blue stream of Bo's chi pulled deep within Lauren, and Lauren climaxed. What tiny semblance of thought she had before she went over the edge was full of shock at how quickly taking in Bo's chi made her come. She couldn't scream; her body only wanted Bo's life force.
Lauren's control slipped in her ecstasy, just as Bo began her return to earth. The feel of Lauren's body writhing on her own was enough to tip the flow of chi from Lauren to Bo. With Bo's first real tug, another wave of passion rolled over Lauren; Bo could feel her muscles contract.
Bo was used to always keeping a bit of awareness when she fed. She learned a little bit of her mind needed to be present if she were to stay in control. Tasting and feeling Lauren was making that very, very difficult. Never had Bo experienced a feed like this. Every push and pull of chi, every muscle contraction, every sweat-sheened move they made against each other, every delicious taste drove Bo wild, and not just with pleasure. With love.
In a thin thread of awareness, the sort of moment Bo normally held onto when she fed, an idea dawned on her; she knew why Lauren chose to be a succubus: We could cycle in our passion like this forever. In the awareness that would normally keep her grounded, she did what she knew they needed, the opposite of what she wanted: she stopped feeding. She buried her face in Lauren's neck, her hair, and she just focused on breathing, purposely keeping her mouth from Lauren's for a moment. She knew the initial emptiness she felt for the first seconds after she stopped a passionate feed, so she held Lauren tight. Lauren sobbed into Bo's hair. Bo pushed her brain into the present and set about soothing Lauren, rubbing her back, her hair, and when they were finally able to pull far enough away from one another that Bo could see Lauren's face, she wiped tears away with the pad of her thumb.
"Shhh," Bo whispered. "I have you. I love you."
Lauren took a deep, choking breath. "I love you," she whispered in return. She looked into Bo's eyes. "How can I feel so full and so… empty?"
"It won't always be like that. It's hard at first, when it stops, when the chi stops."
"It wasn't like this earlier, and it wasn't this—"
"Intense?"
"Yes."
Bo leaned her forehead against Lauren's. "It's more intense when you feed in the throes of sex." Bo paused. "But this, this was like nothing I've ever felt. You knew about the cycling of chi, didn't you?"
"I thought it would be possible, but oh god, I had no idea it would be like this." Lauren's skin was cooling, and Bo felt her shiver. Bo pulled the sheet around them and pulled Lauren back to her.
"Maybe this wasn't the best first succubus lesson. I think we went from Succubus 101 to Advanced Succubus Techniques in your first two feedings. God, Lauren, it was—"
"Amazing. Life altering."
Bo leaned in and kissed Lauren softly. "You're amazing. And, forget what I said earlier about how amazing your human chi tasted because I have no words for how epically amazing your fae chi tastes." Lauren chuckled in a way that told Bo that her compliments were making Lauren a little self-conscious. "Really, Lauren. You're amazing. Everything about you is just amazing." She kissed Lauren again sweetly. "And, I'll teach you. I'll help you learn."
"How the tables have turned," she said, kissing Bo. Lauren laid her head down on Bo and snuggled in close. "I don't think I could sleep," Lauren told Bo, her body still feeling truly alive, "but there's no way I'm getting out of this bed and letting go of you." Lauren felt Bo smile against her.
"Good, because I'm never letting go of you."
As morning drew near, both women dozed. Bo's sleep wasn't deep, but it was nightmare-free. When her phone buzzed on the nightstand, she was close enough to consciousness to grab it quickly, though not before it work Lauren.
"Hmm," Lauren sighed. "Who?"
"Trick."
"Seriously?"
Bo swiped the screen to take the call. "Hey, Trick," she yawned into the phone. "It's early," she told her grandfather.
"Or late, depending on which of us was just at last call. Actually, I'm surprised I didn't see you. I thought you would be by to celebrate."
"Plans changed," she told him.
"That's actually why I called," he said, his tone serious.
Bo sighed. "Trick, can we do this in the morning?" Hearing the frustration in Bo's voice, Lauren ran her hand softly up and down Bo's arm.
"I don't think this should wait, Bo. Can you come by?"
"Now?"
"Bo, this is serious. Do you know of another succubus in town?"
"You're the keeper of the names. I'd think you'd know before me," she said, her eyes growing large in her discomfort. She looked at Lauren, who caught the look immediately and gave Bo a questioning look.
"Not according to what I heard this evening from one of my regulars. He said he thought he saw my granddaughter with a blonde succubus tonight."
"Really?"
"Yes, really. He said he passed an accident scene on his way here and noticed you run to a blonde woman lying in the road. He said he didn't see what happened before she was hit by a car. He said he saw her draw your chi." Trick clearly paused to convey to Bo that she was caught in a lie. Bo paused, trying to think of what to say. "So…"
"So, that did happen. Just after someone nearly died didn't seem like the right time to start talking lineage and clan affiliation." Bo was trying to downplay her involvement. She only just found out about Lauren hours before, and they hadn't yet discussed how soon anyone else needed to know. Somehow, 4am wasn't the time she thought she and Lauren would have agreed to for starting to tell everyone.
"Bo, we might need her. Can you find her?" Phew, Bo thought, he doesn't know it's Lauren. "She might be a huge asset to our fight against the Ancients."
"Message received and understood. You may be right about that." Bo eyed Lauren. She will, indeed, but an asset to this fight. Lauren looked quizzically. "I'll stop by in a few hours. We can work on a plan then," she told her grandfather.
"Good. Thank you, Bo."
"You're welcome, Trick." Bo ended the call before Trick could ask further unsettling questions. "Well, shit," she said, drawing her attention back to Lauren. "Someone saw us. He doesn't know it's you, but they recognized me."
"Shit." Lauren paused only briefly as her mind and her mouth began running in overdrive. "We can't tell Trick. I'm not ready to tell Trick. I wasn't ready to tell you, yet, Bo. I wanted to run more tests, to understand my Fae strength and emotions better. Everything is happening too quickly. I'm not ready to deal with the Fae politics that we're sure to encounter when the word is out that I can turn someone Fae."
"Someone who isn't Evony."
"I wasn't even going to touch on that subject. But, yes. It caused enough problems when word got out that I had a serum to take away someone's Fae."
"Things are about to get a lot more… interesting."
