Lauren finally removed her jacket and placed it on the bar stool that Kenzi had adopted. The ride back to the farm had been quiet, though Lauren couldn't help stealing and sharing strong, quiet glances with Bo in the backseat, their fingers gradually touching in the middle of the seat between them, ignoring as Kenzi and Jax fought over the radio dial in the front of the SUV. When they pulled up to the house, Kenzi was half asleep, so Bo took her upstairs, asking Lauren to make her a drink and claiming that she'd be right back. Lauren knew her grandmother was down the long hall, probably doing work in her study, judging from the lights.

She took a deep breath before grabbing two glasses and the rare imported tequila that Gram kept in her cupboard. As a doctor, she knew better than to mix alcohol, especially tequila, so she just went about making that promised drink for Bo as the succubus went about getting a half passed out Kenzi to bed upstairs. When she finished pouring the drinks, she wasn't surprised that Bo had perfect timing. Lauren almost spilled the drinks because her hands were shaking so much. Bo noticed and came to grab one glass from her hands. At first, Lauren was afraid that Bo would use her succubus powers to calm her again. She found that she didn't really want that. She didn't want the succubus; she wanted Bo.

"All tucked in; doctor's orders." Bo smiled, as she brushed her warm, soft hands along the doctor's arm before moving away with her drink. They both sat on opposite sides at the counter, continuing their staring contest from the car, leaning forward so they weren't too far.

"Did you have fun, girls?" Gram walked in and must have noticed the close proximity and high sexual tension. She sounded amused, but Lauren couldn't tell if that was a good thing or not. After all, her grandmother was a Dark Fae Elder and fae royalty, so she would be more aware of the human/fae crossbreeding than most. She didn't know how Gram really felt about her own daughter marrying and breeding with a human. She was always afraid to ask why her parents' coupling wasn't illegal in the fae world. When she had found out why the marriage was allowed, the doctor was not surprised, though she did not think she could be in a loveless marriage. Lauren liked to imagine that it didn't matter, because she had always felt love from her grandparents, but having the knowledge of fae politics changed everything. "Where is Kenzi?"

"She partied a little too hard, a little too fast." Bo smiled but had the decency to move back, probably sensing the inner turmoil that Lauren was having about giving bedroom eyes to the succubus in front of her grandmother. The succubus wasn't asking Lauren for a relationship; technically, she wasn't even asking for sex. Yet, Lauren, in all her social awkwardness, was definitely picking up the vibes from the other woman; this was not something she minded at all. Sex was a natural biological need; she was not immune to its healing qualities. She just hadn't had any sexual encounters in four years; Emily was her last.

"Ah, I love that Kenzi. She is a spitfire; reminds me of me when I was that young, and yes, I was that young once." Gram grabbed the tequila that was still on the counter and poured herself a glass. "I see you girls are faring much better, though."

"Well, there's something to be said for going slow." Bo sent a meaningful glance to Lauren, who read that loud and clear. She felt her heartbeat quicken again, embarrassed to know the succubus could read her energy right now. "Makes the tingle last longer so you can appreciate the experience more."

"Did you get enough to eat earlier? Do you need anything?" Gram smiled, but Lauren could still not tell if her amused tone and smile was an 'oh, you silly kids' or an 'oh, no, not this again' reaction.

"Yes, Gram. We're not too far from bed ourselves." Lauren meant that to sound innocent, but Bo's choking on her drink caused her to realize her blunder. Again, the doctor felt her entire body blush, so she tried to focus on her grandmother. "It's getting late. What are you still doing up?"

"I was reading through your notes from today." Gram came over to place a warm and comforting hand on Lauren's shoulder. "You are so brilliant, child. I am so proud of you. I won't be surprised if we figure this out before the end of the week. The Ash and Morrigan will be elated to know this was solved with such efficiency and timeliness."

"Of course." Lauren smiled, though she felt a little more guarded. She was not as excited as her grandmother about having to leave earlier than her allotted two weeks.

"Seamus gave me some books you will want to look at tomorrow; I left them in your room. I know you, Lauren, do not open those books tonight. Get some rest." Gram patted her shoulder one last time before moving to do the same to Bo. "Good night, girls."

"Good night, Gram." Bo smiled warmly at the departing woman. "Your gram really is awesome."

"I'm starting to think you like my grandmother, Bo." Lauren couldn't help the amused, flirty smirk that followed. She heard the doors shut down the hall, indicating her grandmother had officially retired for the evening. "We should probably get some sleep. We have a lot of work tomorrow."

"Sure." Bo took their glasses to the sink, while Lauren grabbed her jacket, draping it carefully over her arm. She waited for Bo so that they could walk upstairs together. Lauren hadn't realize how long and lonely that walk to the second floor East Wing really was. Bo placed a warm hand on her back, indicating that they should start moving. Lauren felt a strong jolt of electricity down her entire being, not from Bo's succubus powers, but from just the feeling of Bo near her. She didn't know it was scientifically possible to be this turned on; looking at Bo, she could tell that the succubus felt that jolt, as well.

They non verbally decided it would be safest to not touch on the walk upstairs, though the silence that followed was comfortable and tense at the same time. When they reached the apex that lead to their rooms, the only light that was on was from the moon shining into the hall windows. Lauren thought it was a cheesy, kind of horror movie romantic, which caused her to smile a little before they both walked to their respective doors. When she heard Bo turning the doorknob across the hall, something in Lauren snapped. She uncharacteristically dropped her jacket on the floor and made her way to Bo in record time, pinning her to the wall beside the partially opened bedroom door. Lauren just stared at the other woman, trying to regain the confidence that brought her to this action. Bo looked shocked until she settled her hands slowly on Lauren's shoulders, moving them even slower up to cup the blonde's face gently. They stared for what felt like hours. It felt like all they did was stare at one another. Lauren knew it was only a few moments, but it felt like those stares were important.

Bo hesitantly looked to her right, towards the partially open door, probably making sure Kenzi was asleep. The girl really was great at the interruptions. Lauren watched as Bo turned her gaze back to her, staring again. Lauren moved forward a little first but pulled back, her arms still by Bo's shoulders, pinning her to the wall. If Bo really wanted to move, she would have already. There was no doubt the other woman could overpower her, but she didn't. That fact gave Lauren the confidence to lean forward fully this time, slowly, brushing her lips against Bo's without making much contact.

She didn't know what to expect, but she knew she didn't expect Bo to relax fully, wrapping her arms completely around her neck, pulling her forward more. Lauren didn't think she had ever been kissed like this, as Bo reciprocated and leaned more into her. Without much thought beyond the sensations in her body, Lauren allowed her senses to take control. She allowed her arms to fall to Bo's waist, pulling her closer when her arms wrapped around Bo's back.

The kiss never really picked up speed, though the passion continually increased, if that were possible. Every nerve ending in Lauren's body felt like it was on fire. Was this what it was like to kiss a succubus? Or was this purely Bo? Did this have to do with that instant attraction and trust she felt for the woman?

Bo moved her own arms to wrap around and up the doctor's back. When she started to place hot wet kisses up Lauren's jawline and down her neck, the blonde decided to curb the questions and just enjoy the sensations.

"Mmm…" Lauren knew they were probably being too audible. It was a large house, but it was also bare. While they were quiet whimpers and guttural moans of approval, Lauren still worried that the sound would carry; if not downstairs to her grandmother, at least to the other side of the wall to a supposedly passed out Kenzi. Instead of verbally breaking the connection, Lauren decided to pull Bo from the wall and try leading her to the other side of the hall, to the blonde's bedroom. It had been so long since she had done this, but she knew, without a doubt, that this was what she wanted.

She was surprised when Bo pulled back from the kisses when Lauren went to open the door behind her. The succubus's eyes were a deep bright blue, sparkling with energy. She was beautiful, and Lauren found her entire body humming in anticipation.

"What are you doing?" Bo asked, trying to calm her breathing, though not moving from her grip on the blonde.

"I don't know yet." Lauren leaned forward again and pulled back. "Just let me."

Bo seemed to allow this as they leaned back together and kissed again.

"I don't want to hurt you," Bo said. Her eyes had turned back to the deep brown that Lauren knew, but she just shook her head.

"I trust you." And Lauren did. She wasn't afraid of what she knew could happen. She trusted that Bo would not kill her.

When Lauren turned around to open the bedroom door, she felt Bo wrap her arms around her body from behind, pushing her hair aside and kissing her neck as Lauren closed and locked the bedroom door. She wanted to avoid any interruptions; not when she was this close to getting what her body was screaming at her to take.

Instead of intensifying or speeding the process, Lauren found Bo to be extremely tender, gentle, and loving about the entire thing. She let Bo take the lead, since her confidence had long gone, and she was not surprised to find that Bo liked that idea. Yet, instead of going fast, Bo had moved slowly, kissed her slowly, peeled their clothes off slowly. When they were finally under the sheets, bodies slick with sweat and moving rhythmically slow as fingers and mouths explored the other, Lauren couldn't help but gasp at the sudden realization of just how much she enjoyed this. In that moment, Lauren completely and utterly relaxed, giving in to Bo and giving in to the feelings she knew had already surfaced in the past few days.

Bo was right; there was definitely something to be said about going slow.

Bo loved these mornings, when she was full and happy. The memories of the quiet whispers and moans from last night made her smile intensely. She went to stretch, her body sore and sated. Instead, she found a pleasant obstacle in her way. Immediately, she looked up, tense and afraid of what she would find. She thought she kept herself from feeding, but the emotions in this room last night were so intense that she could not be completely sure that she didn't. When she saw Lauren's body muscles twitch and the deep sigh from the movement, Bo physically felt herself relax.

Instead of waking the blonde, Bo decided to prop herself up and watch her. She didn't get to do this often with her lovers. Even Dyson told her that first morning after that it was impolite to stare. Still, Bo couldn't help herself. She had never seen Lauren look so peaceful.

Okay, she didn't know the Light Fae doctor that well. Still, this was the longest she had ever waited to have sex with anyone, except for when she lost her virginity. She was usually want, take, have. She never had to work hard to get what she wanted. Wrapping a loose arm over Lauren's hip, pulling her own body closer, and kissing the smooth shoulder fortified exactly why the harder things were the most worth it.

The doctor surprised her last night. She really expected the tension to keep increasing, possibly never getting release the entire two weeks they were supposed to be here. Even though Bo knew the doctor wanted her, the succubus knew that the doctor was also extremely guarded. When she pushed Bo against the wall last night, one of the most erotic things the succubus had ever experienced, Bo felt her inner teenage girl and her hypersexual adult self give each other a high five.

Bo couldn't help the wide grin that spread across her face as she kissed the doctor's shoulder again. The light coming from the window and the birds chirping outside informed her that it was early morning.

"Mmm…" Lauren stirred and Bo could feel rather than see the massive grin that spread throughout the blonde's entire body. "That…just…mmmm…."

"For a highly educated woman, you lack articulation in the morning." Bo leaned up further on one elbow as the doctor turned on her back to face her.

"Just this morning." Lauren didn't seem to mind when Bo leaned down to kiss her. She wanted to do that again, sans morning breath. "We have a lot of work to do today."

"You sound more enthusiastic about that than you did last night." Bo chuckled slightly. Really good sex was supremely therapeutic and refreshing.

"Wow, I can't believe I did that." Lauren's eyes became big, though her facial expression and body language seemed more in awe, with a complete lack of regret. Bo felt herself calm at this revelation.

"I think I was there for the ride, too. It was more of a team effort, I would say."

"Oh, I'm definitely giving you credit." Lauren's playful smirk returned, as she looked at the bedside clock. Bo liked that smirk. "You can try for extra credit, if you like."

"Mmm, as nice as that sounds, I'm afraid I can hear your Gram downstairs in the kitchen." Bo agreed with the grumble that Lauren emitted.

"I have to work in the lab all day. I'll barely get to see you." Lauren's pout was endearing.

"I wouldn't have taken you for clingy." Bo sat up completely, bringing the bed sheet with her to keep as much of the warmth from the bed surrounding her. She really didn't want to leave this safe zone, but she knew they had to.

"Not clingy, just…Bo, last night…"

"It's okay, Lauren." Bo was afraid Lauren was going to tell her that it couldn't happen again. Wasn't that how it first started with Dyson? She was always afraid history would repeat itself. She was even more afraid that she had bad karma for all of those one night stands and dead bodies she left during those ten years. When she really wanted something, someone, she was afraid they wouldn't stay, either.

"No, Bo. Last night was…I have never…it's been awhile since I've done that, with anyone."

"Even yourself?" Bo liked that she caused Lauren's entire body to blush.

"Well, beyond the medicinal effects of masturbation, which surprisingly I prescribe to more patients than you would think. The effects of release, even small less intense releases caused by manual stimulation, are…"

"Lauren, thank you." Bo relaxed again. "Last night was great for me, too. Despite what you might think, I haven't done that ever."

"I highly doubt you've never had sex, especially considering I was privy to just that act when you healed the other day." Lauren was amused but finally decided to sit up fully, as well, mimicking Bo by pulling the sheet around her body to keep out the cold from the room.

"I've had sex more times than I can count." Bo bit her lip, trying to decide if it was a good idea to bare her feelings so much to this woman. They really were strangers. Then again, it didn't take long for her and Kenzi to form this close bond, either, even if it was purely sisterly and lacked the sexual attraction. Seeing Lauren's questioning and concerned eyes, Bo decided it was a risk worth taking. Dyson and Kenzi's warning be damned. "I've never made love to anyone before."

"What?" Lauren pulled the covers tighter to her body. Bo didn't know if this was from the shock of that admission, or the unwelcomeness of that admission.

"I've never made love to anybody before last night." Bo rolled her eyes. "I'm not professing my love for you or anything, so don't freak on me, but that's what that was last night. We made love."

Lauren seemed to let this information settle. Her seemingly slow processing made Bo's heart beat faster, anticipating and hoping for a positive reaction. She hoped that she read the doctor correctly.

"We really did, huh." Lauren took a minute before she fully smiled. This caused Bo to relax again. She hadn't killed her and she had made love for the first time.

"I didn't feed, either. I mean, beyond the natural feeding that sexual contact gives me, I didn't feed from you." Bo cleared her throat. "I didn't feel the need because you were already filling me up so much."

"Oh my god, did you just make a dirty joke?" Lauren was obviously trying to stop an amused smile from forming, trying to pretend to admonish the succubus but failing miserably.

"Not my original intention, but now yes." Bo's eyes flicked down the body beside her, covered in the white sheet. "You're the first human I've tried fully sleeping with since I've learned to control my powers. I mean, I've fed from random humans, but it doesn't really require sex."

"Oh, that's…intense."

"I'm glad it was you. I'm glad you were my first."

"Oh, well…" Lauren cleared her throat, though Bo could not tell if it was from discomfort. "You're not the first fae I've…"

"That's okay." And Bo really meant it. "We should get up and get ready before your gram or Kenzi comes looking for us." Lauren just nodded before making a move to grab her clothes from beside the bed, trying to keep the covers wrapped around her. "Lauren, it's okay. You don't need to be modest now. I saw everything already. I'm a big fan of everything."

"Oh, well…of course." Lauren shook her head in amusement before letting the sheet fall from her body and grabbing her clothes much quicker, still covering her body with the bundled clothes. Bo was not so modest, as she moved from the bed and around the room picking up her clothes, loving the feeling of sexual energy coming from Lauren as the blonde's eyes followed her around the room. "Why are your clothes everywhere and mine piled in one place?"

"Even in passion, you're the most organized person I've ever met." Bo pulled on her pants without buttoning them and threw on her tanktop to hide some of the cold in the house from her body, though she didn't bother with her undergarments. "Though I can't say the same for your jacket."

"Oh, right." Lauren's smile and blush were so intoxicating, as she still stood there, still with her clothes hiding her most intimate places.

"I'm going to hop in the shower in my room. Hopefully Kenzi is still asleep." Bo moved towards Lauren, continuing to invade her personal space, and took the bundled clothes from Lauren, placing them on the bed beside them. She fully wrapped her arms around a renewed nude Lauren before leaning in to give her another kiss. "Thank you for last night. See you later?"

"Absolutely." Lauren's dazed expression as she left was enough to fuel Bo's thoughts for the rest of the day. Maybe she would "get hurt" later when scouting the woods for clues. Would she really do something like that on purpose just to have a chance to see the doctor? Bo actually wasn't sure, but the thought made her smile mischievously as she picked up Lauren's jacket from the floor, smoothed it out before handing it to the blonde before walking across the hallway to her own room.

Once there, Bo shut the door, wanting to lean against it and sigh the biggest happy sigh ever, but she avoided the cliché so that she didn't wake the stirring Kenzi. Instead, she stripped completely, tossing her clothes towards her bag before heading to take a shower. She really didn't want to wash the lingering memories of Lauren's touches and kisses from her body, but she knew that some fae were creepy and could smell things like that. She heard Kenzi enter the bathroom and pee, seemingly not caring that Bo was in the shower. Then again, Kenzi never really seemed to care about them sharing spaces.

"Bo, where is the toothpaste again?" Kenzi sounded like she had lost her voice from screaming at a metalhead concert all night. "Oh, tequila, thou art a cruel mistress."

"Did you try beside your toothbrush on the sink?" Bo rolled her eyes in amusement as she washed the last of her conditioner and body wash from her body. All signs of Lauren were washed away and that made Bo sad for a moment, as she turned off the shower.

"Oh, right." The familiar sounds of teeth being scrubbed followed, as Bo grabbed her towel to dry off and cover herself before exiting the shower. Kenzi immediately stopped brushing her teeth when she looked at the succubus. "Holy shitballs!"

"What?" Bo felt self conscious for a minute, standing there feeling like a drowned rat. She needed to comb her hair soon before it tangled too badly.

"You're…glowing." Kenzi stepped closer to her, toothbrush dangling from her mouth. "You got laid last night! Dude, Dr. Hotpants, really? Does she have some like toxic lady parts because you are seriously glowing, like…your skin and aura are…glowing big time."

"Huh?" Bo was concerned as she looked at herself in the mirror. She did look like she was glowing a bit, though it wasn't a direct glow. More like an underlying hum that surrounded her body. "Nifty."

"That's all you have to say? You're not freaking out? I'm totally freaking out." Kenzi put her toothbrush up and rinsed the suds from her mouth. "Did you like, eat her?" Before Bo could give a smartass reply, Kenzi picked up on her semantic faux pas. "Don't answer that. I don't wanna know."

"It's not bad, Kenzi. I mean, sure, I feel different, more…filled somehow. I'm not freaking, though. I actually feel better than I have in like, well…ever."

"Woah, that's some pretty powerful crotch rocket the doc has then."

"Kenz…" Bo felt herself become serious again. She really needed to talk to her best friend about this. "I made love to her, Kenz. I've never made love before in my life."

"Sure you have. Remember wolfman? There was some serious love happening there." Kenzi had sobered her sarcastic commentary when she noticed Bo's demeanor change.

"Love was there, sure, but we never made love. It was always sex and healing." Bo suddenly freaked. "What does this mean? I glow when I make love?"

"Maybe? Or…maybe it's that powerful fae-heritage human timebomb you cracked open last night? Could it have really been that good?" Kenzi stopped to seemingly ponder this. "I would seriously consider switching teams if it was that good."

"Kenzi." Bo chuckled, needing that tension released. "Should I be scared about this? Why am I not scared about this?"

"Because you lurve her." Kenzi was only half joking; Bo could tell. They went through this similar conversation when she was first trying a relationship with Dyson. "Look, Bo, it's still early. You really just met this chick. Granted, this is the longest courtship you've probably encountered, what with all those super sexy powers you have, but it's still early. I know you don't want to make the same mistakes you made with Dyson, so…and I can't believe I'm saying this, but…give her a chance to just…be with you. We're out here for two weeks, on a beautiful secluded farm, with lots of potential for steamy romance and star-gazed snuggles, so why not try?"

"You always know what to say." Bo smiled genuinely at her best friend, as she finally grabbed for the comb, cursing the tangles that formed in her hair but not really caring about the pain as she recalled the events from last night again.
