I know this chapter is a little shorter but the next one will be a lot longer :)

Bo ran her fingertips down Tamsin's exposed back, tracing the red lines she had left in the soft flesh.

'Did I hurt you?' Bo asked.

Tamsin turned to her, her ash blonde hair falling around her shoulders, immediately lost in the succubus's intense gaze.

'No, you didn't hurt me.'

Both women were twisted in the sheets and basking in the silence that surrounded them; it was a rare moment that they got to be alone together without Kenzi or Dyson being present. Bo leaned in and kissed Tamsin lovingly on the lips whilst Tamsin placed her hands around Bo's waist.

'We should get dressed,' Bo said softly 'Kenzi could come back any minute…'

Tamsin groaned and pulled Bo closer to her, kissing her lips and jawbone hungrily.

'Do we have to?'

Bo gave her a serious look.

'I think you know the answer to that,' she replied, pulling back the sheets 'don't think for a second that I would let you leave this bed if I had a choice.'

Tamsin smiled as Bo winked at her and followed suite, uncomfortable that reality was returning and invading their new-found intimacy. As she watched Bo pull her jeans up she grew anxious at the thought of Kenzi bursting in on them causing her to swiftly look for her underwear. Thoughts raced through her head as she got dressed; would they have to live like this for the foreseeable future? More importantly could they live like this - what if they got caught?

'Are you okay?' Bo asked, bringing her back to the present moment.

'Yeah, just thinking,' Tamsin replied, buttoning up her shirt.

'…about?'

'Just things,' Tamsin said, dismissing her.

Bo placed her hand on Tamsin's arm.

'Talk to me,' she said.

'It's nothing really,' the Valkyrie replied, straightening out her bed-hair and smiling.

Bo gave her a raised eyebrow.

'Okay, but you can talk to me; I hope you know that,' she said.

'I know.'

Bo was about to lean in for a kiss when they both heard the front door slam.

'Hello!' Kenzi yelled.

Bo pulled away and squeezed Tamsin's hand instead. She took a deep breath and then went to greet Kenzi, Tamsin followed, nerves flaring up inside of her. Kenzi was stood in the kitchen clutching a huge baseball bat and giant blue teddy bear. She smelt strongly of spirits and mint.

'Oh Em Gee Bo, you'll never guess what! My aunt and I were sorting through those clock radios when…' Kenzi caught sight of Tamsin and did a double take '…oh I didn't realise you were here, wolf-boy is looking for you.'

'Dyson?' Tamsin asked, racking her brain as to why.

'Yeah something about Ash business?' Kenzi rolled her eyes as though it was the most boring thing in the world and turned back to Bo 'anyway as I was saying…'

'I'd better go and find him,' Tamsin said worried.

She looked at Bo to say goodbye and then her eyes fell swiftly to the ground.

'Okay, I'll catch up with you later,' Bo replied, trying to keep her composure.

She watched as Tamsin left, glancing back at her as she went out the door.

'…erm, what was that?' Kenzi demanded as the door shut.

'What was what?' Bo asked, a puzzled expression on her face.

Kenzi narrowed her eyes at her.

'You two are up to something,' Kenzi accused her 'what is it? Are you planning to steal something, have a family reunion... team up and fight crime together?'

'No, Kenzi come on… we're just adjusting to our new… relations… to one another,'

Kenzi raised her eyebrows.

'So she's finally come around?'

Bo smiled.

'You could say that…'

Bo watched as Kenzi took a bottle of wine out of her bag and placed it down on the kitchen counter.

'Well I'm glad you two have sorted it out, it will be nice to be able to walk into the Dal without all those bad vibes... and I'm telling you they were bad vibes man…'

'Yeah,' Bo smiled, the vibes would certainly be different now 'so you were saying about the clock radios?'
