Joy In Dying

Chapter 09:

As promised Bo had talked about her family with me. To say I was stumped by what I had heard from her was a huge understatement. I was not only dating a Succubus, but as I came to learn, I was dating a very powerful Demigod –or demigoddess-.

Bo had opened up on the drive down to our destination, explaining a lot of family drama to me. It turns out her father wasn't kidding when he said they were an older family or that his name was Greek. Trying not to spook me Bo went on to explain how her father was not only Fae but the ruler of the underworld. I was actually dating Hades' daughter non-the-wiser.

Apparently when Jack got together with Dyson and Kenzie's mother he had wanted much like with Aife to leave his post in Tartarus and raise his family. Unlike his brother's Poseidon and Zeus, Jack was rarely able to leave Tartarus and bed women to create little offspring. When he confronted his siblings about the fact, he was given his own niece to qualm those desires. He resonatingly refused, he kept the young girl as company for many years but could not see past the fact that this was his own flesh and blood.

As a blessing or a curse Jack had been developing a strong sense of morality. He was upset that his siblings had given him the shittiest job out there, confining him to the existence of darkness. At first he had raged and acted out against it and his siblings, which is why he got 'confined' to Tartarus. After a few millennia his niece Persephone gave him the gift of freedom for a few days, he was to return to Tartarus on his fourth night without anybody knowing. In this time he had met and eloped with Dyson and Kenzie's mother. He wanted to change and raise his unborn child, the prospect of creating life instead of taking it was the breath of fresh air he needed. His shifter woman had already assured him she would stay or follow him in the direction he chose. He pleaded with his brother Zeus to let him live amongst the humans and raise his child to which his brother adamantly refused taking the woman from his side.

Jack had spent his coming nights and days bitterly pondering on the life of his offspring and what had become of the woman who had given him a chance. He grew angrier and more desperate as time went by. Because of her kindness Persephone had been punished and vanished from Tartarus, not even her company did Jack have. As a last failed attempt Zeus brought over a war prisoner who had been offered as sacrifice to him by the Dark Fae.

As soon as Jack laid eyes on her he knew he could be a different man. The dark haired woman was all he had ever wished upon and then some. It took no time at all for his charm and hospitality to win her over. Not after long they were inseparable and head over heels for one another. Jack had told Aife of his plans to escape, to create a family with her and succeed being something different than the dark existence he had withstood for so long. He had finally found someone who had not only convinced him but proven to him that he WAS able to love someone else. Sensing his uneasiness Zeus took action once more.

One day Jack woke alone once more. His wails and wrath was seen everywhere. The most fierce hurricanes hit the earth, he even stopped snow from coming down in North America for a year during winter in a tantrum as he mourned his broken heart. When he thought it couldn't get any darker in his existence a light at the end of the tunnel. A message had been delivered to him by connections of his niece who had been living amongst humans. It was simple and concise and Jack knew his course of action then. He was a father once again.

It took a few years for Jack to figure it out, but with the help of his niece he found a way to detach himself from Tartarus as long as he returned every century for a year's time. It was a small price to pay to live the existence he craved. The taste that Aife had given him of love had been a mere taste of what he could grasp as a Father. He wanted nothing more than to know a child's unconditional love towards their parent.

In his quest Jack ended up making a living as a surgeon in a small town outside of Montreal. He had moved to Canada when he had caught whispers of his daughter being in foster care somewhere in that country. Zeus had sealed Aife away in some institution where she had given birth and had been separated from their daughter. The thought of his love being locked away and their child growing up in the system had filled him with rage but he couldn't act on it, he knew his darkness was far too great to give into it.

As faith would have it not long after he had found out the exact whereabouts of his baby girl a woman fell on his table. He found himself doing surgery on the woman he loved, the mother of his child. He fought hard and saved her, helped her recover and together they found Bo. They took her out of the system bowing to find her siblings as well and reunite them as a family.

As a romantic like her father, Bo beamed while telling me the story. She found it admirable that her parents had withstood so many difficulties to find each other and then her and her siblings. Much to Jack's surprise, his firstborn had been doubled in twins and he got Kenzie as well as Dyson. As I remembered how they interacted at dinner when I was there I could tell the whole family loved one another and didn't take lightly the sacrifices they had gone through for each other.

As much glee the story brought to her, Bo did warn me how they were constantly looking over their shoulder. With Jack out in the world there was nobody back in his place to rule the underworld and for this Zeus was livid. He needed someone at that post at all times, the arrangement had been made in the beginning of time. If a keeper was not in Tartarus consecutively for a century then Zeus would have to take the post himself, and that was a faith good enough for his brother but not him.

"Cover your eyes Lau, it's the last time I promise" I heard Bo's voice break our comfortable silence in the car.

"Yay!"I muttered as I covered my eyes with my hoodie and giggled.

"What's so funny?" Bo asked and I smiled.

"I'm just excited, you haven't told me where we are but from the waves of energy rolling off you I'd gander we're close eh." I mentioned and she laughed.

"I love it how you've kinda turned on the Canadian accent since we crossed into the states." She pointed out and I blushed.

"I didn't notice." I whispered as I felt her hand in mine.

"It's very cute Lauren." She assured me before telling me it was ok to unveil my eyes.

We had crossed into the states last night. That was the only hint Bo would give me and it was only because she needed my passport for the crossing. We had bunkered down on a small hotel along the road when Bo was too tired to drive any longer. She had insisted we were on a schedule and set alarms for us leave on time. She even gently and lovingly turned down my advances to relieve her tiredness.

We set out again before first light and here I was uncovering my eyes after about ten minutes as we pulled in to a loading area that I didn't recognize. She flashed a plastic badge she hadn't let me see to the guard and he smiled letting her in and instructing where to park.

She gave my hand a gentle squeeze as I flicked specks of fabric from my favourite Penguins hockey jersey. She had seen me light up as I opened the duffle bag in the hotel room to find my jersey packed on the very top of the pile. I had carefully put it on for bed and when we woke up Bo convinced me to wear it during the day since she found it absolutely adorable. It was battered and loosing it's crispness with the name in the back but I loved it, my father had given it to me before leaving.

"Are you ready?" Bo asked pulling me out of my musing.

"I guess you'll tell me. Am I ready Bo?" I asked as she gave me the most excited smile.

"Yeah I'd say you're as ready as you'll be." She assured me as we got out of the car.

I carefully appraised her form, she was stunning as always. Even though she was wearing one of my Penguins v-necks her cleavage made the top look sultry almost. She had commandeered it from my bag after 'wanting to match me', I found her extremely adorable. Her jeans hugged her every curve and I silently hoped this was a very fancy hotel room so I could ravish her accordingly.

She guided me to an elevator and we ventured deeper into the complex. I started getting really nervous as we went up the floors. I glanced at my girlfriend who had immediately linked out fingers together as soon as we were out of the vehicle. She gave me a wink and an excited smile.

"Are you going to tell me yet?" I pondered and she smiled.

"I have a friend who works here. He owed me a favour from a long time ago. We're going in through the staff entrance and I'm sure you'll figure your surprise from there." She answered with a slight squeeze of my hand.

"Are we allowed to be here?" she gave me a mock hurt look and then smiled.

"Of course! I have legit connections sometimes. It's been very hard keeping your brain distracted so you wouldn't figure me out." She laughed.

"Why are you doing all this for me? Going through all the trouble?" I enquired curiously.

She turned to look at me with surprise and a look I couldn't quite place before her face softened. She brought her palm up to my cheek and caressed my face as I leaned into her touch looking into her eyes. Her lips spread out in a gentle smile and I could feel myself melt at the sight of so much care in her eyes. I couldn't possibly hope or fathom anything deeper than that from Bo. I was slowly realizing that the woman was becoming a constant fixture in my life and I liked the way it felt. I liked the way my heart fluttered before seeing her even if she had just left the room.

Before she could answer me properly the elevator 'dinging' brought us back to reality and the surprise at hand. She gave my hand a small tug placing the land yard around her neck and her credentials shone on her badge next to the black and gold letter reading 'MEDIA'. I was about to ask her about it as she led us down a corridor when I felt the unmistakable chill that I knew so well. It was intense how fast I got thrown into the familiar feeling I had grown to love as a child.

I almost couldn't believe my eyes as I stared at the beautiful clean pristine ice as the Zamboni made laps. The stands were empty for now, it was very early in the morning and people had only started to trickle in for practice. I knew by heart the scrimmage wouldn't start yet and it would be over in a hurry. It was media availability day and so only reporters were allowed in the venue. I looked up with watery eyes at Bo as she gave me a gentle smile her eyes holding my own. She had pulled some favours to get us into practice but here we were.

I had just about lost my mind when I realized where we were. I had closed the distance between me and the boards and pressed my palm against the cold glass. I closed my eyes to steady my emotions as my breath shook. As I saw a coach hit the ice the comforting sounds of his blades hitting the ice reached my ears. I couldn't believe I was so close.

I turned on my heels and threw my arms around Bo's neck. I felt tears slip down my face as I kissed her purposely and urgently. Her arms wrapped around my waist and she held on tight. As we pulled apart and I leaned my forehead against hers she wiped my cheeks free of tears. I saw her pout and search my eyes worriedly.

"Please don't cry Lau, I just thought-"

"You're perfect." I breathed and tightened my hold on her. "I'm crying of happiness. You've made me so unbelievably happy today."

Her smile widened and her eyes watered. She squeezed me once more and then her face lit up as she nudged me towards the ice. I watched as the players hit the ice one by one and now I could understand Bo's insistence on wearing my hockey gear. I felt her hold me by the hips while we watched them skate out one by one. You could hear their yaps and calls as they looked for one another on the ice. I was mesmerized as I watched them toss a puck around and Bo guided us to some seats.

As we watched the practice I talked to Bo about my childhood with my father and brother before they left. My father had been a humble but wealthy man whose father had come from England. However, being raised in North America my father loved hockey with a passion. My brother Drake hadn't taken to it as much as I had but he still came to games with my father and I. We had never seen them this privately in practice and I was glad I was sharing this with Bo.

As they were turning to go back to the locker room right by us the captain turned to me with a smile and handed me a puck. I couldn't believe it! I jumped with excitement as Bo laughed and assured me I had a puck given to me by the captain.

As we closed the hotel door behind us I couldn't help but squeal and jump around with joy. Not only had Bo brought me to my hometown of Pittsburgh, but she had taken me to a morning skate and to watch the game. We had crushed the Columbus Blue Jackets 6-2 and I had gotten a puck from the captain which he later signed. The day was absolutely amazing but the best part of it all was Bo's company.

I turned from my little geek ramble to see her staring at me endearingly. I rushed to her arms and pulled her close to me. I couldn't believe that she had gone through such lengths to give me a childhood memory back. The one memory I had given her of my father and she had gone all out to recreate it. I couldn't quite put into words how much the gesture had captivated me and I did the only thing I could think of which was kiss her.

My lips crashed hungrily against hers. It was slow and passionate, a slow ember burning patiently but furiously on the inside. My tongue seeked hers and she moaned as they crashed together. My body reacted on instinct and I rolled my hips against hers and she moaned against my mouth. I wanted to show her how much she meant to me.

Soon our kiss had turned intoxicating and we hit everything stumbling towards the bed in our haste for one another. I pushed her into the bed as I stood in front of her, her breath ragged and shallow as her chest rose and fell making her cleavage follow suit. I pulled my jersey and my shirt off in one swift movement and I was left in my unbuttoned jeans and a bra inches from my girlfriend. I heard her breath stick in her throat and a groan escaped her as her eyes flickered that primal blue hue I had grown to strive for. A wicked smile crossed my lips as she squeezed my hips with her fingers gently but urgently. I moaned as she reached back and squeezed my ass.

My lips crashed into hers as I pushed her back until she was sitting up with me straddling her hips, our lips locked in a battle for dominance as our hands roamed freely against our bodies. I felt her bite my bottom lip and I pulled back snatching it from her teeth, I grabbed fistfuls of her hair and pulled her hair back attacking her exposed neck making her moan loudly. I ran my hands to the front of her shirt and tugged at the hem pulling it off effortlessly, I continued my trail of kisses down her collarbone and chest until I reached her bra I took it off and pulled her towards me, her perky breasts inside my mouth and like a hungry kid I suckled greedily on what had been offered me.

She quickly tugged at the rest of our clothes and I complied, once again straddling her, completely naked now as her hands roamed my body and her eyes drank me up. I pulled her hair once more and attacked the pulse point on her neck, knowing it was her weak spot as she mumbled incoherently. Her panting and moaning had me in some sort of ecstasy as I continued my travel down her body. I applied pressure on her shoulders and pushed her back as I unbuttoned her jeans and in one swift motion left her naked for my eyes to drink up. She looked at me from heavy lids and I noticed that even though we had sex before and mind blowing epics, this was different, more intimate somehow. We had peeled each other's layers back slowly and cautiously, we had torn walls put up in the wake of others similar to us. Now as we shed the last bits of insecurities that we felt about daring to completely let go with someone else we gave each other fully knowing what it entailed.

I smiled and attacked her lips with my own as my hand found her already wet and pulsing center, I pulled back from her lips and started tracing her lower lips with my finger looking at her expressions as I teased her. She groaned and glared at me behind cerulean eyes as I bit my lip enjoying her sounds and expressions.

"Lauren I-" her voice was thick with lust as I interrupted her with my lips smiling into the kiss.

When I thought for sure she'd had enough teasing I plunged two digits in her inadvertently, her loud gasp as her eyes rolled to the back of her head was intoxicating for me and I deepened our kiss muffling her moans. I worked a steady rhythm and her moans filled the apartment as they turned into screams, I had introduced a third finger along the way as her screams got louder with lustful instructions 'deeper', 'faster'.

We were lost in one another as her hands gripped at my back leaving half moon slivers of white skin where her nails would dig too deep. I was consumed in the room by her letting go of her inhibitions and giving herself to me. Suddenly her hand was on my crotch catching me by surprise, she cupped it and then I felt her fingers inside of me, making a steady rhythm that matched my own.

I felt my pace quicken before hers did and in seconds I was moaning as loud as she was with her fingers deep inside me. My hips moved involuntarily and started riding her hand as she trusted her hips against mine matching my movements, our lips locked as I felt her fill me up with a second finger, I broke from her mouth gasping loudly and moaning with every movement. At this pace I'd be spent before she ever was and I couldn't let her down. I sped my hand motions as she screamed in ecstasy for a moment lost, her fingers still but deep inside me. I relished the feeling as I stared at her beautiful face, her head thrown back, the dark hair matted to her forehead.

As soon as she caught up with herself her hand started her ministrations again, shaking with anticipation, unsteady as I knew she was close. I lowered my upper body onto hers, our breasts touching as our fingers moved deep within each other and I started nibbling her earlobe and licking inside her ear, whispering all sorts of things into her head, at the one that seemed to make her breath catch in her throat I continued.

"You like that hunh?" I asked her moaning my words as I felt her add another finger, my body trembling from the pleasure "you like it when I fuck you, don't you? You like it when I fuck you hard."

I could see her eyes flicker in intensity as the hue of the blue changed. I shivered knowing the power she harnessed yet praised her control over it. I covered her lips with mine, she went still inside me and I rocked my hand deeper and harder knowing she was about to cum, her throat produced a gradual moan as it turned into a scream of my name when it passed her lips. Her walls contracted against my fingers as I felt her tremble underneath me gasping for air and searching for my lips at the same time.

When our lips met I felt her fingers move inside me with a vengeance, faster, deeper stronger and my lips wouldn't produce the words to describe the pleasure this woman was giving me. All of the sudden I was on my back, she had flipped us over and was now on top of me pummeling her fingers into me, my whole body rocking at the intensity of the pleasure; I was so close. She leaned closer and sucked my neck, undoubtedly leaving a mark on it, I raised my hands to her back trying to grab hold of anything at all as the force of my orgasm hit me. I heard her hiss as I screamed her name and seconds after her lips were upon mine once again both of us panting from what had seemed like the greatest pleasure of my life.

"It just keeps getting better and better with you, doesn't it?" I asked jokingly when I had regained my breath.

She full on laughed as she pulled me close to her kissing the top of my head. I sighed in happiness and laid my head on her heaving chest. Bo always had this certain glow to her after sex that was contagious. I guess her being a sexual creature her anatomy was formed to look the best after she had 'fed'.

"You're an amazing creature Bo." I mused as she hummed her approval.

"I'm nothing but a Succubus." She modestly added and I raised my head to look into her eyes.

"No. You're a powerful Succubus, I can tell. You're also the most gentle and caring being I've ever met. I have never dreamed that someone so amazing would be interested in nerdy ol' me but here we are." I confessed as she shook her head.

"Smarts are sexy and I love when you geek out and ramble about anything and everything." She added in earnest as I smiled.

"I love you Bo." I confessed as I saw her expression change.

I saw her eyes water as they shone with hope, her bottom lip trembled as she searched my eyes. I could see her mouth opening and closing slowly as she tried to speak but the words eluded her.

I pressed a soft kiss to her lips as I gently caressed her face. She pulled apart and gave me her trademark grin. I kissed along her jaw as I burrowed into her neck and she wrapped her arms around me.

"I love you too Lauren." She whispered and I closed my eyes relishing in how it felt to hear it coming out of her mouth.

"Meeting you has been the best turn my life could've take Bo." I confessed as she drew circles on my back.

"After Kyle I never thought I'd love anybody again. I felt too cold, too detached. I had become a creature of habit only feeding and moving on. My Father always reminds us of the power love can have over darkness and I feel like that's you Lauren. You're my light in the dark."

I could hear the knot in her voice and as I kissed her again I knew we were now forever changed. I couldn't live without the woman in my life, plain and simple I wouldn't now. She had changed me, for the better and I couldn't be happier for that. I felt my eyes droop as slumber took me but I had never felt any safer than I did in Bo's arms. I was glad for the long ride ahead of us because I was ready to get as much time as I could with the vixen. I was once again excited for the future and after Nadia I didn't think it possible, but for an extraordinary being like Bo nothing was impossible; even love.

AN: I hope everybody is enjoying the nice little bond Bo and Lauren have developed on this one. I'm sorry if I'm writing too much smut, it's just really fun and inevitable with these two ladies. Especially when Bo is a Succubus in this story. I wanted to warn you guys that things will start getting rocky in the next chapter. We're coming to the point of Lauren's demise and I thought you guys deserved a heads up. It'll start getting a bit more violent in the next chapters but nothing as hardcore as Sun Don't Shine. Don't lose hope my kiddos Bo ends this story at peace and with her heart full of love. Don't forget to review lovelies!

Cheers eh!
