Chapter 7

Lauren was busy doing her experiments when Bo walked into her apartment. She was so preoccupied by the fact that the results she got differed from the ones she expected, that she didn't notice the brunette tiptoeing behind her, until her eyes were covered by a soft hand.

" All work and no play makes Dr. Lauren Lewis a hot girlfriend." Bo whispered into Lauren's ear, putting her arm around the doctor's neck. Laying a kiss on her cheek, Bo chuckled.

Lauren smiled. She pushed the microscope away and turned around. Pulling Bo close, she kissed her on her lips.

Putting the things down in her hand, Bo cupped Lauren's face and kissed her back. She missed her, although she had only been away for a couple of days. She missed everything about her. Her soft, sweet lips. Her warm fingers. Her beautiful face.

" I missed you." Bo whispered to her, as she hugged her tight.

" Missed you too, babe." Lauren buried her face into Bo's hair, resting her chin on the brunette's shoulder. For a moment they just stayed like that, hugging each other, without saying anything. Bo took a deep breath, and closed her eyes. After all the stuff with her mother, the incident with her first boyfriend, and she left her hometown because she was heartbroken when her parents chose to alienate her, she needed this moment more than anything.

After a while, Lauren pulled herself back a little and asked, " So, how was your trip?"

" Alright, I guess." Bo said.

" How was it with your mom?"

" Well, let's say something bad happened to her, which turned out to be something good for both of us." Bo said. She felt relieved that she had reconciled with her mother, however, rather than truly forgive her, she chose to forget about those things.

" What do you mean?" Lauren frowned. She could tell something was bothering Bo.

Bo sighed, " Nothing. She basically couldn't remember a lot of things, especially..."

" You and Kyle?"

" Yeah, that. She just thought I left home, and she was really happy to see me."

" How could she not remember?"

" Maybe she just wanted to forget?" Bo said. Why wouldn't she? She asked herself, it was a nightmare, to all of us.

" Dementia at such young age..." Lauren frowned, looking through her book shelf, " I think I've read something in the neurology science journal, which is related to the treatment of dementia..."

" Lauren." Bo grabbed her hand, " I think it's better she stays this way."

" You sure?" Lauren asked. She somehow found it hard to understand Bo's logic, that her mother not remembering anything was actually a good thing, because that contradicted everything she had been doing for her entire scientific research life.

" Yeah, I am sure." Bo smiled, assuring Lauren that everything was ok. She didn't want to stay on the topic of her mother, so she said, " Oh, and I did put Lady Polly back to her stupid well with Kenzi!"

" Lady Polly?" Lauren asked, her eyebrows raising, " Was she a mean third grade teacher of yours or something?"

" No." Bo chuckled, " She's some sort of...earth bound spirit or something...Anyway, I summoned her with some other kids when we were really young. Anyway, put her ass right back to where she belongs."

" An evil spirit? Was it a tough fight? Were you injured?" Lauren asked anxiously, lifting Bo's t-shirt to make sure she was ok.

" I'm fine, doctor." Bo said as she grabbed her wrists, " Although, I like how you can't keep your hands off me..." She winked at Lauren, leaning over to give her a kiss.

" Yes of course." Lauren huffed out a laugh, " What was I thinking? You have...you have a regular now..."

" No, I wasn't hurt." Bo said, " And don't you think you would be the first person I see when I'm back from a trip?"

Lauren somehow felt a little bit relieved by Bo's answer. She tried hard not to act like a jealous girlfriend, because in fact she was jealous. She was jealous of everyone Bo had ever hooked up, but she knew she had no choice. Bo needed a regular, someone who would be there whenever it was a life-death situation, someone she didn't have to hold back with when feeding. She thought Tamsin would be the perfect choice, because she and Bo hated each other, but sometimes, she just felt that there was something more to the Valkyrie. The hate was too obvious, too strong, sometimes she feared that it would easily be turned into something else. But Lauren couldn't think straight now. Bo was there, in front of her, smiling, her hands on her face, and her lips on the tip of her nose.

" Why don't we go get a bath, so we can..." Bo murmured to Lauren as she slid her fingers slowly down along Lauren's cleavage, her lips pressing on Lauren's ear.

Tamsin felt her headache just getting stronger and stronger, as she listened to Dyson and Trick talk about Bo's Dawning. She knew she had probably rolled her eyes to the ceiling like a hundred times already, but for each sentence she heard, she just had to roll her eyes again. Both Dyson and Trick worried about Bo, because apparently she was pretty far away from being ready for her Dawning, and neither one of them had told her it was something she should really take seriously. They formed a pack and decided to tell Bo everything was going to be ok, and she would come out from her Dawning with no problem.

Does the bitch even know how brutal the Dawning can be? Tamsin asked herself. Then she frowned and raised her head. Why the fuck do I even care? She said quietly in her heart, as she downed another drink.

Trick and Dyson were still arguing. One of them thought they should go find something that could boost her stamina on the black market, the other said something about giving her a better weapon. Then they both came down to the agreement that Bo needed more training, but neither of them thought she had enough time left before that to complete anything useful. Finally they talked about Lauren being exhausted researching. The doctor practically locked herself up in her lab, trying to make some energy booster serum for Bo.

God, light people are so fucking useless. Tamsin rolled her eyes again, as she poured herself another drink. Then she realized that she had already emptied the bottle. She cursed and pushed the bottle away. Somehow she felt irritated, but she just didn't want to put her mind on the reason why.

Trick finally realized that he had other customers to attend. Dyson went back to sit down beside her. He looked serious, with a beer in his hand, but he was not drinking. He was indulging in his own thoughts, until Tamsin decided to break the silence.

" Worrying a little bit too much for your ex-girlfriend, don't you think?" Tamsin smirked at him.

" I have to. She's Bo." Dyson said, giving her a light, warm smile. He was actually a little surprised that Tamsin would want to talk about Bo with him.

" Why don't you people just tell her the truth? " Tamsin said. She had no idea how that sentence burnt through her throat.

" What do you mean?"

" Oh Dyson, I think you know what I mean. The Dawning is a bitch, and we've all gone through it. It is gonna be a shit storm, whether you tell her about it or not. Maybe it's time for the bitch to know the ugly truth." Tamsin said. She wasn't even sure why she was talking about this with Dyson. Maybe she just had too many drinks. Maybe she was just bored. Or maybe, it was the thing that kept bothering her, and she forced herself not to think about it.

Dyson frowned. He studied the look on Tamsin's face carefully, and took a swig from his bottle. " You sound like you care..." He said.

" I don't!" Tamsin said, staring at Dyson coldly, " Look, we've already had bodies lying there that connect to her. Do you know how much damage a succubus can do if she devolves into an Under Fae? She could suck the whole town dry!"

" She didn't have anything to do with those killings." Dyson said. As firmly as he sounded, there was still a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

Tamsin noticed that. She huffed out a mocking laugh, " Well, apparently you weren't this confident when that fox bitch said she was killing again."

Dyson sighed. He didn't say anything. He regretted his choice ever since that day. He should have trusted Bo, but he didn't. He should have noticed that it was not the real Kenzi, but he didn't. Hearing Kenzi saying that Bo might start killing again, he just panicked, because deep inside his heart, he knew how easy it was for a succubus's feeding to go wrong, and he also knew Bo had killed before. " She...it wasn't her, and we will prove it." He added, as if he wanted to reassure himself.

" Whatever. I'm going back to the station." Tamsin said, shaking her head lightly. She left her cash on the counter before she walked away.

Lauren let out a light sigh of satisfaction. She was lying in the bathtub, surrounded by hot water. The lights were off, but the room was warmly illuminated with lots of scented candles. They were placed on the floor around the bathtub in the shape of hearts. The air was filled with the warm, sweet scent of gardenia, as if they were in a garden in a midsummer night.

Bo was on top of her. Her face looked so beautiful in the dim, flickering light, that Lauren almost thought she was dreaming. She cupped Bo's face, gazing into her warm, brown eyes for a moment, before she closed her own and leaned over to kiss her. The brunette instantly kissed her back.

Lauren moaned vaguely, her tongue touching Bo's. Bo licked her bottom lip playfully, savoring her taste, before she took the tip of her tongue in her mouth and sucked it gently. Lauren could feel herself burning up, just by a simple, soft kiss. Bo's fingers caressing her cheeks slowly, before they moved down on her neck. The succubus' index finger ran along her collarbone line, as if she was painting her.

Bo chuckled when she saw how much Lauren liked it. She moved her lips to the blonde's neck, when her fingers brushed across Lauren's nipples. The blonde gasped, and grabbed the side of the bathtub.

Bo cupped Lauren's breasts, taking one of her nipples in her mouth. She could feel it hardened between her lips. Circling her tongue on it, she closed her lips around it, pulling it up with the suction of her mouth, then let it go. A soft moan escaped from Lauren's throat, her eyes foggy and her lips half opened. She raised herself a little, so she could see Bo's face. The brunette peeked at her from her chest, smiling, while her tongue flicked on her nipple. Lauren moaned, closing her eyes and falling on her back again.

Bo moved up to kiss Lauren again, her hands pressing tightly on Lauren's waist. Then she grabbed her ass and pulled her close. When the blonde wrapped her legs around Bo's waist, the brunette sank her body down a little, to put some weight on the blonde's center. Lauren almost immediately started panting. Bo chuckled again, tucking her right hand down between them. Lightly caressing Lauren's clit, she watched the blonde open her mouth and moan. She kissed her chin, running her tongue along her neckline again.

The vague, glittering lights of the candles made everything look like a dream. Bo took a glance at the candles, and she smiled. She started to blow them off one after another.

Noticing the light getting dimmer, Lauren raised her head a little and looked at Bo confused. She wasn't sure what Bo was going to do, but Bo smiled at her. " Relax, babe." She said, " Let me love you..."

The last candle was out. They dwelled in complete darkness in the bathtub. Lauren felt Bo's kisses moving down again, first her chest, then her belly, then her thighs. Then she heard the water splashing lightly, and Bo moved up again. " Close you eyes." Bo said, " And count backwards from 60."

" What? Why?"

" Just do it, doctor." Bo whispered to her ear, her tone full of teasing.

Lauren smiled. She threw her head back and started to count.

60, 59, 58...

Her legs were spread, and Bo's mouth covered her core. The brunette gave her a long, hard lick under the water, and she groaned.

55, 54, 53...

Bo sucked her clit, pressing her lips onto it, when she licked it with the tip of her tongue. It almost felt too much for Lauren, but she didn't say anything. The only conscious part of her mind was focusing on the counting. She fisted her hands tightly, then grabbed the sides of the bathtub to ease the tension when Bo moved her tongue rapidly from left to right, then up and down.

38, 37, 36...

Bo pulled Lauren's delicate folds lightly between her lips, then her tongue back to her clit again. Pleasure built up from that swollen, throbbing spot of Lauren's, and she had to bite her lip to stop from screaming out loud.

18, 17, 16...

Lauren moaned out loudly, because biting her lips apparently wasn't working anymore. She raised her hips under the water, and pressed her center tightly against Bo's mouth. When the brunette flicked her tongue on her clit again, ecstasy finally exploded inside her. She came on Bo's tongue. Her orgasm hit her so hard that she just lost count of the numbers. She arched away from the bathtub underneath Bo, reaching her arms out desperately trying to grab something, her legs kept squeezing tight and opening wide. Water splashed everywhere. Bo pressed her tongue firmly on her throbbing clit, keeping her on her peak longer. Lauren arched away from the tub, tucking her hands into Bo's hair, not sure if she should pull her closer, or push her away. A stronger, more intense wave of orgasm hit her when Bo sucked her again. Lauren screamed, every part of her muscles tensed up, every cell in her body exploding in pleasure.

" 5, 4, 3..." Bo whispered to her as she moved back up to her ear. She was gasping for air, but giggling. She held Lauren tightly in her arms, before she switched their position.

Bo looked at the blonde who was on top of her, her skin still blushed from the orgasms she just had, and her legs shaking. She raised herself and kissed her. Gently pulling some of her Chi out, Bo enjoyed the warm, soft taste of her energy. It felt like a ray of sunshine in the early summer, so gentle, so sweet.

Bo broke off the feeding after a few seconds. She had been with Lauren long enough to know how much Chi she could draw without hurting the blonde. She knew she needed far more than that since she had not fed for a couple of days, but right now, she just wanted to enjoy this moment with Lauren.

The blonde was so exhausted from her experiments, studies and the sex, that she fell asleep the moment her face touched the pillow.

Bo was awake. It had been two hours now, and she was still staring at the ceiling. The peaceful breathing from the blonde should have calmed her down, but it didn't. The clear, limpid moonlight should have calmed her down, but it didn't either. She was too hungry to fall asleep, and every bit of her mind was thinking about nothing but feeding. Her hunger was trapped inside her body, roaring like a wounded beast. She needed to feed, and she needed it now. The craving for some strong, delicious Chi just consumed her mind.

Then she realized that she was thinking about Tamsin. She was thinking about the rough, wild sex they had every single time, those painful foreplays, those dirty talks, those screaming orgasms. She was thinking about how fiercely Tamsin's Chi flew to her, and how amazing it was, especially when they were both on their peaks at the same time. She couldn't help but picture the Valkyrie on top of her. Every details of their sex together flashed through her mind, how they hungrily bit each other without worrying about hurting the other, how they thrust into the other person so hard that it was actually painful, or how they forced the other person to scream just by waves and waves of agonizing orgasms they were able to bring each other to. She was so hungry that she got turned the first moment she thought about the blonde, her hands running up and down on her own body, then stopping between her legs. Bo caressed herself desperately, hoping that would ease her desire. Her hunger got stronger and stronger, her body burning up with her desire. With her finger rapidly rubbing her clit, a few moans escaped from her throat. Even though she knew it wouldn't help relieve her hunger, she just couldn't stop.

Lauren turned herself around beside Bo in her dreams. The blonde murmured something, and sighed in satisfaction, as if she just dreamed about something wonderful. Her hands lightly touched Bo's arm, when she tucked herself closer to the brunette. Bo opened her eyes, her mind returning to reality. She suddenly realized what she was doing and she quickly pulled her fingers out. She felt like a thief who just got caught.

Hunger and guilt ravished inside her. She closed her eyes in despair, and sighed, her heart filled with agony, frustration and self loathing.
