A/N: I got such a huge response about kinky freak Lauren in the last chapter, to which my only response is, it's always the quiet ones.

Lauren Lewis was in pain, no not pain, agony. Yeah, agony, that sounds about right. Every muscle in her body was sore, her nether region felt like it had been split in two, and her body was literally covered in scratches and bite marks. Despite this she couldn't keep the smile off her face. Good God what a night! Her succubus did her species proud and Lauren, despite her pesky humanity issues, kept up rather well, topping her lover on more than one occasion. She would have celebrated her victory, but currently movement was a slight issue. She decided for now it was probably best to stay where she was, seated on her couch sipping her coffee waiting for the aspirin to kick in with an ice pack between her legs.

Lauren heard movement and craned her neck to watch her lover descend the stairs. Lauren felt that familiar spike in arousal, Bo was wearing her clothes again, a pair of sleep shorts and a tank top that looked practically criminal. Lauren suppressed a moan, hissing in pain as she felt her inner walls clench. As far as Lauren could tell, Bo didn't have a mark on her, even though she gave back as well as she took, lousy, unfair succubus sexual healing, what a bitch! Bo, for her part, seemed oblivious to Lauren's state as she skipped around kitchen sporting a mile-wide grin grabbing herself a muffin and a cup of coffee.

She came around the couch and planted a kiss on the top of Lauren's head before sitting down. Bo was so bubbly, Lauren was worried she might effervesce. "Morning babe."

"Good morning," Lauren tried to hide her discomfort, seeing Bo like this made it hard for her to stay angry, after all it's not like Bo could help her DNA. "Did you sleep well?"

"Who cares about sleep, Lauren last night was fucking awesome!" Bo was practically gushing, "I mean with you it's always been awesome, you really have no idea how good you are, so fucking hot by the way, but last night was insane."

"Um, thanks," Lauren felt her cheeks flush, which was odd considering what she and Bo had just done to each other.

"Whatever, I should be the one thanking you. I have never came that many times in my life! The best part, I am completely full and I didn't even feed, well you know not in the chi-sucking sense." Bo paused, damn she was giddy, "I love you Lauren, so much, let's get married!"

"What!?" To say Lauren was stunned would be an understatement. They had only been an official couple for a few weeks, hell she was still annoyed with Bo over the whole "blowing her off when she returned from vacation" thing. As much as her inner romantic wanted to believe Bo's sincerity, Dr. Lewis, buzz-kill that she is, reminded her that this was the endorphins talking. "Bo, I, uh-"

"I know, I know, it's crazy right? You're a human, I'm a succubus, blah, blah, blah." Bo sighed, "I'm so sick and tired of everyone telling me what I can and can't do. I know something is wrong with me physically and that takes priority or whatever, but when it comes to you, I've never been more sure."

"Bo, I really am touched that you think of me like that."

"But?"

"But, let's put a pin in it for right now." Lauren saw Bo's face fall, forsaking her discomfort she moved herself closer to Bo, wrapping her arms around the succubus. "Just for right now, OK? We need to take care of you, me and Kenzi first. After that we can talk about our future together, because believe me I want us to have one."

Bo looked at her confused, "Wait, I thought I was the only fucked up one, what's wrong with you and Kenzi?"

Shit, Lauren knew she shouldn't have mentioned Kenzi, time for a little sexual distraction. "Well, in case you haven't noticed, I have been a little, um, amorous lately. Don't mistake, I always want you, but not to the point where I can't physically control myself, as was evidenced yesterday in the lab." Lauren smirked, "In fact if you hadn't broken my vagina last night, I would have had you naked and inside me before you made it down the stairs."

Bo's eye's flashed blue, she abruptly pushed back from the embrace and stood up, "Dammit Lauren, you can't say things like that to me!"

Lauren grinned, "I thought you were full."

"It's like Jell-o babe, there's always room for more."

"Hmm... I'm choosing to ignore that you just compared me to a gelatinous dessert and focus on the fact that you want more of me." Lauren could feel the rumble in her chest, the heat in her loins. She made a move to stand, ignoring the pain, Bo's body was so close, begging to be touched. Lauren pressed herself against Bo, finger's dancing over the hem of her shorts. "Do you want me inside of you Bo?"

"Yes," Bo gasped out, it was barely audible, but it was all Lauren needed. She heard Bo's sharp intake of air as she slipped her hand under the waistband of her shorts. Lauren shuddered at the lack of underwear, happy for one less barrier. Bo was already soaked, Lauren looked at her and smiled, "For me?"

"Always," Bo breathed. Lauren peppered her neck with kisses, murmuring her approval. Lauren slid two finger's inside of Bo, moaning loudly at the sensation. She rubbed her thumb against Bo's clit as she pumped in and out, expertly curling her fingers to hit her G-spot. Bo cried out, bracing herself on Lauren's shoulders as she neared orgasm.

"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!" Kenzi, having decided to join the land of the living, was quite decidedly not a fan of the show on display before her. "After what I had to listen to last night, nuh uh, enough already!"

Lauren froze at the sound of Kenzi's voice. Bo had been so close, she just stood there in a stupor gaping at her best friend. Lauren snapped out of her fog, realizing she was still inside of Bo, pulled out slowly hearing the succubus whimper at the loss of contact. Internally she wanted to scream, fucking Kenzi, little cock-blocking son of a bitch!

Kenzi stood at the top of the stairs, her good hand placed haughtily on her hip, "Well, is one of you going to help me down the stairs?"

Bo made her way over to the stairs, Lauren could tell she was beyond frustrated. She placed her clean hand on Bo's shoulder and smirked, "I'm a little sore so I'm going to take a bath. Why don't you get Kenzi settled and then come and join me?" Lauren leaned in and whispered in her ear, "You know how I hate to leave things unfinished."

Lauren was pleasantly surprised, Bo had gotten Kenzi squared away in record time and they proceeded to spend the next hour fucking in her over-sized garden tub. Bo had known she was sore and tried her best to restrain her inner beast, but Lauren's aggression made that nearly impossible. Lauren knew she was playing a dangerous game, Bo's control only extended so-far and these day's that line was even less. She needed to stop, her body was wrecked, but she couldn't. Bo was like a drug, she was left always wanting more, she had to have more, mmm... more, yeah, more right now.

Gah! This was to much, she could barely walk, it was talk-to-Trick time, he had to have some kind of answer for her. Bo finished cleaning up the bathroom, then helped her get dressed, after which Lauren mad a rule that they were to remain three feet apart at all times. Bo balked at this, but Lauren put on her stern Dr. Lewis face and she conceded. Lauren called the lab to let them know she would be in to pick up her results then she had to run a personal errand for the Ash and to not expect her in for the rest of the day. The results were waiting for her on her desk when she arrived. She somehow managed to maintain her composure, ignoring the stares and snickers from her colleagues as she walked, visibly limping, through the lab towards her office.

Returning to her car, she made Bo drive with Kenzi riding shotgun, while she sat in the back directly behind her, not trusting herself to be so near the succubus. The ride to The Dal was made mostly in silence, which afforded Lauren the peace she needed to read through everyone's results. Bo's were pretty much the same as her initial ones from yesterday morning, her cells were being destroyed then replaced; no infection, no parasite, the Dawning was looking more and more suspect, that meant she was probably devolving, goody. Moving on to Kenzi, her white cell count was elevated and her body was reacting like she was fighting off an infection compounding everything else, her ribs and shoulder were still healing from being trampled in the riot. The kitsune essence was slowly taking over and Lauren had no idea how to remove it from Kenzi without killing her. She hoped Trick would be able to tell them what to do about it because Lauren was at a loss. As for herself, her hormone levels were slightly elevated, but nothing significant, everything else looked fine. From what she could tell, basically she had a bad case of "I got the horny's", ugh, she took a deep breath and mentally prepared herself for what was bound to be the world's most awkward conversation with her girlfriend's grandfather.

Once they arrived at the Dal, Lauren hung back telling Bo to go ahead, she had already called Trick beforehand so he was expecting them, but she needed to talk to Kenzi alone first. Bo looked at them a little confused, probably remembering Lauren's comment from earlier, but she complied anyway and left them to it. Kenzi was staring at the ground, aimlessly kicking at some pebbles, Lauren braced herself, "Kenzi, I think you already know what I am going to say."

Kenzi looked up at her, tears forming behind her eyes, "I can't do that to her. She just got happy, this is going to wreck everything."

Lauren sighed, she empathized with her, she really did, but that didn't change anything. "You don't have a choice anymore." Lauren paused, looking her directly in the eye, "Kenzi you are dying. Your body is treating the fae essence as an invader, and it's loosing. I've found nothing in my research that tells me how to rid you of it without killing you, Trick is our best chance at finding a solution."

"Bo's going to be so angry at me for visiting the Norn."

"Yeah, she is, but she loves you." Lauren placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, "You have to tell her."

Kenzi wiped at her tears, defeated, "OK."

Lauren nodded and led the girl inside. Thankfully the place was empty, save Trick and Bo who were conversing over the bar. They turned towards the door hearing it open, and upon seeing Kenzi's face Bo became instantly worried, rushing to her side, "Kenzi, what's wrong?"

Kenzi started crying again as Bo cradled her gently still mindful of her dislocated shoulder. Lauren cleared her throat and motioned to Trick, "I have the results we talked about," she pointed at the files, "Why don't we leave these two alone and discuss this in private."

Trick looked from Bo to Kenzi then back to Lauren, he nodded softly, "Follow me."

Lauren felt her ass growing numb and her throat getting scratchy as she spent the better part of an hour explaining everything to Trick, she opted to leave out some of the more graphic details, but based on his current pallor she had succeeded in making him sufficiently uncomfortable. Internally she was pleased with herself, she had managed to make it through the entire conversation without relying Dr. Lewis's cold professionalism. "So what do you think, any idea's?'

Trick took a deep breath, willing himself to speak, "The Dawning is an ancient right of passage we all go through. Based on what you have told me it appears that Bo's has begun, 200 years early I might add, and she is already showing signs of devolution." He walked over to his desk and pulled out what looked like a giant phone book, "I will have to contact a Lodestar, they specialize in training and preparing fae for the rituals."

"So is Bo's devolution what is affecting me."

Trick nodded, "Most probably, yes."

"But why?" Lauren was confused, "I'm not even fae."

"True, but you are Bo's lover." Trick paused, choosing his wording carefully, "Her primal nature is coming forth and the sexual component of your relationship as well as the mutual love and desire between you two is the driving force behind it. You are Bo's chosen mate, from now on anything that effects her will inadvertently effect you as well, the fact that you are human is incidental."

"How is that possible?" Lauren shook her head, this didn't make any sense. Yes, they were in love, but still, "Bo is a succubus, since when do succubi mate with anyone."

"Bo isn't like most succubi." Trick was proud, that much was obvious, but there was a sadness about him, "Did you know she even tried to be faithful to you when you were out of town. Kenzi finally had to convince her to feed."

"Do you remember when that was?"

"Oh, I guess, Sunday or Monday."

There it was, things were finally clicking in to place. It all made sense; Bo's insatiable hunger, the black out caused from the sudden chi overload, the intense anger was still a mystery, but that could be chalked up to an adverse reaction from the succubus starving herself. "Monday was the night of the riot at that club, hmm... makes sense why she lost control the way she did." Lauren pinged on something else, "Is that why she ignored me when I returned, because she had been starving herself and was afraid she would loose control with me?"

"Could be Lauren," Trick shrugged, "she didn't share that information with me."

"Well great now I feel like a jackass, I've been angry with her all week because she blew me off." Lauren sighed, "Typical Bo, trying to do the right thing in completely the wrong way."

Trick shook his head, "Like I said you'll have to talk to her about it."

"Oh believe me I intend to. She will be punished." There it was again, that low rumble inside her chest, the growing fire between her legs. Lauren grinned wickedly as images of Bo being tied up and paddled filled her brain. Mmm... yes, there would be much punishment, with whips and spanking-

"Ahem," Trick cleared his throat loudly, bringing her back to reality.

Lauren blinked, "Uh sorry, what were we talking about?"

"Kenzi," Trick said flatly.

Lauren shook her head, Kenzi, who's Kenzi? What does a Kenzi matter when there is naked Bo? A naked Bo tied up, blindfolded and waiting for her? God Bo is so fucking hot. She had been so close last night to getting her whole hand up inside, she was right there and Bo loved it, coming so many times, screaming her name. Maybe with a little more lube-

"LAUREN!"

Lauren snapped out of her fog, "What, huh?"

Trick was clearly annoyed and uncomfortable, "Damn you weren't kidding, were you?"

Lauren blushed, "It's bad Trick, uh I mean it's good, oh so good, but bad for maintaining focus."

"Well try please."

"OK, you have my attention, I am listening." Lauren was going to focus on Trick, she was not going to think about fisting his granddaughter, no she was going to be good, she could do this. "How can we help Kenzi?"

"We need to find the fae whose essence she has," Trick paused, "there is a ritual that will transfer it to it's rightful owner."

"There is a ritual," Lauren was surprised, she'd looked through a dozen books in the Ash's archives and hadn't seen anything about any ritual. "Why couldn't I find something on it?"

"Because in most cases, the human either dies or the fae simply kills them to take it back instead of bothering with the ritual."

"But it has been performed with success in the past?" Lauren nodded, this could be good, find the fae missing their "mojo" as Kenzi would call it, do the transfer and presto, yeah right, there is always a catch when it comes to the fae.

"There have been a few instances over the centuries, but the ritual itself is not without risk and humans have still failed to survive it."

Lauren sighed, ah and here we have the catch, "You aren't filling me with a lot of confidence Trick."

"I wish that wasn't the case, but it's what we have." Trick turned back to his phone book, "I need to make a few phone calls, I will get in touch with a shaman I know that can perform the ritual, you should go talk to Bo, bring her up to speed."

Lauren nodded, this was not going to be fun, "Alright." With that Lauren departed Trick's lair and ascended the stairs toward the main bar. Her head was full, so many things to process, and once again here she was, wet and horny. Would Bo be up for a quickie in the cask room? Lauren smiled thinking of Bo's legs wrapped around her waste, biting her shoulder to keep from screaming, as Lauren fucked her on some wine barrel. She flexed her hand, her fingers literally begging to be inside the succubus.

Lauren was so busy thinking of the different ways she wanted to pleasure Bo that she almost walked into the door. Shaking off her misstep she opened it cleanly, entering the bar all thoughts of sex fading from her consciousness. There was Bo, down on the floor, eyes glowing feral blue, snarling, with her hands wrapped around Dyson's throat.
