"Well, what can I touch?"
"What's gotten into you?"
"Well, you know nothing just yet but I was kinda thinking that maybe we could umm..."
Lauren, held firmly in her lover's arms, leaned forward to lightly suckle on her succubus's ear, and whispered words that caused Bo to tighten her hold.
"You know that delightfully talented tongue of yours? Well, I want it deep inside of me, laying claim to me, licking me out slowly, and making me scream your name when you make me yours."
Bo shuddered slightly as her eyes flashed blue for a brief second, and a smile that spoke of the many...naughty...things to come in bed later, crossed her lips.
~o~o~o~
"I think Dyson likes me!"
"...Say what?"
"Don't tell anyone this, but I think I might kiss him."
Speechless...Lauren was absolutely speechless...and felt like she'd just been blindsided by a bus, as she watched her girlfriend make moony-eyes while waving at her ex. Then worry flooded through her...something was most definitely wrong with Bo. She had to examine her girlfriend. As a doctor, when when things happened that she had no reasonable explanation for, she used science to find the answer. And right now, as she continued to watch the woman she loved giggle girlishly at the man who seemed determined to always be a thorn in the side of their relationship, Lauren decided that she had to find out the answer to this new mystery.
Now.
~o~o~o~
"You have little specks in your eyes that look like stars."
At any other time in her life, Lauren would have absolutely melted at Bo saying something like this to her. But right now she was way too focused on discovering the reason behind her girlfriend's increasingly strange behaviour, to really focus on the words. Later though, when all this craziness had hopefully passed...she would mentally pull the statement back out, and allow her heart to melt at the absolute adorableness of it.
"Wow, you're really hot. Have you ever kissed a girl?"
Lauren almost paused in her increasingly desperate search for an answer to Bo's mystery 'illness', when those words tripped happily out of her girlfriend's mouth.
This is not happening, Lauren groaned to herself as she took her stethoscope neatly from Bo's suddenly grabby hands, and put it out of her girlfriend's reach.
"You're really starting to scare me."
"Rawr."
"Okay Bo, just listen to me..."
"Rawr!"
"Bo, please!"
"Well...there was this one gross guy...with a magic stick..."
The statement made Lauren freeze, as all kinds of truly disturbing scenarios began running through her mind. An almost uncontrollable feeling of possessive protectiveness made her back straighten, as she silently swore to herself that she would personally gut anyone, who may have touched her girlfriend without consent, doctor's oath to heal and not hurt be damned.
Then Bo laughed like what she'd said was the funniest thing in the world, that hadn't nearly just given her girlfriend a heart attack. Lauren pinched the bridge of her nose, and dropped her head forward as she determined that she needed serious help in finding out what was wrong with her girlfriend.
She needed to see Trick.
~o~o~o~
"Can I have the car keys?"
Trick looked up at the succubus whom Lauren had just informed him was acting anything but herself, and he was beginning to see what the good doctor was talking about.
"No."
"If I don't get the car keys, I'm going to count to a hundred...in French."
"Good grief."
Trick and Lauren spoke in bewildered tones to each other about what could possibly be wrong with Bo, while the succubus in question continued to shout out numbers in French...until she suddenly wasn't shouting anymore. Lauren resisted the urge...barely...to pinch the bridge of her nose again, as she watched her girlfriend dancing on the bar's counter. She quickly moved over to the gyrating succubus, and asked with all the patience she could muster in the moment for Bo to please get down.
Trick quickly cut the music, prompting the succubus to use a 'Kanye' line that Lauren hoped, wished, and prayed she would never hear her girlfriend use again, when Dyson and his new female Dark Fae partner began acting up.
Lauren didn't fight the urge this time; she raised her hand to her nose, pinched the bridge of it, and began counting to ten...in french. She then turned weary eyes to Trick, and said in a low voice, "I think we have a serious problem on our hands."
~o~o~o~
"Ho ho, Dyson touched my boob, ha!"
Lauren just barely...barely...kept from grabbing the stick that was seemingly super-glued to Kenzi's hand, and whacking Dyson over his scruffy head with it while yelling, "bad dog, bad dog!"
This whole situation was seriously beginning to try Lauren's patience. It was also beginning to hurt her heart quite a bit, as she was being forced to watch the woman she loved, constantly flirt with the man who had come between them so often. Intellectually she knew that Bo had no true conscious control over her actions. Her lover was...not well. But it didn't stop her heart from feeling pain whenever Bo would look longingly at the wolf-man, or talk about kissing him...or him touching her 'boobs'.
This whole situation was just rubbing raw that deeply hidden, insecure part of herself that Vex had already taken a jab at earlier...that as a Human, she was never going to be 'enough' to satisfy her Fae lover.
Lauren lightly shook her head to rid herself of these depressing thoughts, and refocused her attention on trying to bring her real Bo back, as she followed Kenzi downstairs with the cries of "pizza, pizza, get the pizza!" trailing behind her.
~o~o~o~
"Grab a weapon, she said."
"For the hundredth time Kenzi, I didn't know!"
"Why are you always rolling your eyes at me with your normal upbringing, and your medical degree!"
"You don't know anything about my life, Kenzi."
"I know that you think you're too good for me!"
"No, I don't actually...you think that I'm not good enough for Bo."
"She's my best friend..."
"And I love her."
"I know! I know..."
It was a pretty intense scene between her and Kenzi, and Lauren couldn't really believe that she'd allowed herself to get into it with the dark-haired girl like that. But the situation with Bo right now was pretty serious. And with her and Kenzi being attacked by 'man-pigs', she just really hadn't had the patience or energy to deal with Kenzi's snide comments anymore.
But it now felt like she and Kenzi had finally turned an important and needed corner in their 'relationship'. It felt to Lauren that they were finally beginning to understand each other, and both of their places in Bo's life. And right now Bo's life and their lives were in danger, and they needed to work together to solve this problem.
So, Lauren breathed out a soft, "moving on?" which Kenzi for once easily answered in the positive to, and they both walked out of the room...together.
~o~o~o~
"As for me, I'm going upstairs to take a swab."
"Whoa whoa whoa, doc you're going in solo without backup?"
"I think I can do this..."
"You're as stubborn as you are bossy...godspeed."
"What happened!"
"I don't wanna talk about it!"
And Lauren really...really...didn't want to talk about it. The horrors that she'd experienced upstairs would be shared with no one for the rest of her natural-born life. As she hung exhausted from the side of the doorway, her mind flashed back to images of Bo stalking her almost as soon as she'd entered the succubus's bedroom, followed by Tamsin, and terrifyingly enough Dyson. They had all in unison decided that the good doctor was going to be 'It', and they were all going to 'catch her' and do very 'naughty' things to her body...which to their childish minds equaled tickling her until she couldn't breath.
She'd run desperately around the room as fast as she could, climbing on top of the bed, and ducking around the few bits of furniture Bo had in the room, all while trying to use the swab to get her sample. At one point she'd been caught on the bed, and was promptly pounced on by a very energetic Bo. She'd only just managed to escape her lover's grasp...something Lauren never thought she'd ever willingly want to do...by the skin of her teeth, though her jacket had suffered a small casualty on the shoulder. She'd however finally...finally...managed to get the swap sample, and had escaped the room and all the very very disturbing things that had gone on in there.
She would be having nightmares of Dyson's rough hands trying to make their way under her shirt, to tickle her soft flesh for weeks.
~o~o~o~
"You must have gone to some crazy-ass medical school."
"Afghanistan."
It felt like a small, nuclear bomb had gone off in the suddenly quiet room, and Kenzi could feel the shock travel all the way through her body.
"Shit dude...how long?"
A long breath left Lauren's body, and she had to close her eyes briefly to savagely pull back on the memories, that tried to flood her mind of a time in her life she really didn't want to think about right now.
"Long enough."
"Why didn't you ever say so?"
Lauren allowed a very tiny smile to come to her lips, as she replied.
"You never asked."
Kenzi was absolutely positive now...Dr. Lauren Hotpants Lewis was the official freaking MacGyver of Science, which Kenzi thought was pretty damn badass. But she'd never tell Lauren that...she did have her own reputation as a badass to maintain after all.
~o~o~o~
"Are you playing...spin the bottle?"
"That was so dope...let's do that again!"
"Yeah, let's not!"
Lauren had had it.
This day had been alternately frustrating, exhausting...and heartbreaking...and she was now officially done with it all. Bo exclaimed with a loud "ow" as Lauren slammed the syringe filled with the antidote into her girlfriend's shoulder, with probably a little more force than was necessary, but really her Bo kissing Tamsin again right in front of her...wasn't going to happen.
"Hey, where's our pizza?"
Lauren looked at Dyson over her girlfriend's shoulder, and with her most droll look and voice replied.
"There's no pizza coming."
~o~o~o~
The day was finally over.
The longest, most trying and possibly most ridiculous day of her life was finally done, and Lauren couldn't be happier as she curled her sated, naked body with a soft purr around the warm body of her lover.
"I'm sorry...again," Bo whispered as she pressed her lips into long, golden hair and pulled the woman she had unintentionally hurt more than once this day closer into her arms.
"Bo, sweetie, it's alright. I've already told you that it wasn't your fault. The Morrigan, and to a certain extent Vex, were the ones responsible for everything that happened today," Lauren breathed out softly against her girlfriend's neck, as she felt Bo twine their slender legs together, and place a soft lingering kiss on her bare shoulder.
"And speaking of Vex, Kenzi told me you have a pretty mean right hook," Bo said with a softly-amused grin as she took her lover's hand, turned up the knuckles, and softly kissed along the slightly-bruised skin.
Another soft purr of pleasure slipped passed Lauren's lips, as she allowed her lover's gentle ministrations with her body, to sooth the quickly-fading ache of pain this day had caused her heart, from Vex's somewhat cruel comments earlier in her office, to seeing her lover locking lips with the blond Dark Fae.
I love you...Bo wanted to whisper the words to the woman in her arms so badly...but she realized with a soft, affectionate grin that Lauren had just fallen asleep in her arms. So, instead she breathed the words softly into her lover's skin, as she lovingly pressed her lips in tender, near-reverent kisses along the smooth skin laid out before her.
Today had been an exceptionally trying day for them all, and Bo honestly could not remember much of anything that had transpired during the day. But none of that mattered to her in this moment, as she closed her eyes and allowed her body to slip into peaceful slumber with her lover. What mattered was that at the end of the day she was curled up in her warm bed, with the woman she loved held securely in her arms...and she wouldn't have it any other way.
Really hope you all enjoyed this chapter ^.^
