Exquisite Desires: Chapter 12

Bo's POV

.


Tamsin unfortunately left about an hour later. I knew she would've been leaving soon to go to the station, so I used my limited time with her wisely.

I had made her 'help' me pick out an outfit for the day, showing her different combinations of clothing as she sat on the edge of my bed. I paid close attention to her body language as I posed in front of her, and she reacted the most satisfied with a dark blue tank top, dark jeans, and black boots with high heels.

Sadly, though, my subtle attempt at seducing her ended when Dyson had called the Valkyrie to work. After she left I sped back upstairs and jogged frustratingly into Kenzi's room.

"Ughhh..." I grumbled after falling face-first onto her bed.

"What's wrong, sista?" Kenzi said after walking into the room from her bathroom. She sat onto the bed beside me and patted me on the shoulder. I moved my head to where it was lying on its side.

"It's Tamsin," I whined, sighing as I continued to feel confused. "I really like her, Kenzi."

"Then do something about it," Kenzi responded, lifting up her hand and examining her nails.

"Like what?" I said, lifting my head and staring in interest at the lovable human.

"Something romantic!" She answered, looking at me with wide, excited eyes. My head fell back onto the bed in disappointment.

"Tamsin isn't really the romantic-type," I said in a discouraged voice. It's not that I didn't like that about Tamsin, although it just would've made it easier for me to show her how much I really cared for her. Instead, the woman was a hard puzzle to solve and made almost everything a challenge.

"Maybe just buy her a beer," Kenzi mumbled as she continued to pick at her nails. My head shot up after I played around her suggestion in my thoughts.

"Kenzi, that's brilliant!" I exclaimed as I jumped up and drew my best friend into a big hug. I squeezed her tight in happiness as she wiggled underneath my grip.

"God, Bo, take a chill pill," She laughed when I released her from my arms. I jumped off of her bed and speedily walked out of her bedroom.

"Thanks, Kenzi, you're the best!" I yelled after I exited the doorway.


I had waited most of the day before I made contact with Tamsin. It was hard, not talking to her for this long, and I realized I couldn't handle being Valkyrie-deprived for an entire day.

I was at the Dal, sitting next to Kenzi at the bar when I pulled out my phone from my pocket. It eventually displayed Tamsin's number and I hit the call button, bringing the device up to my ear.

*Ring, ring, ring*

"Hello?" I heard the comforting tone of the woman's voice. I took a few moments to register it in my head, relishing it's familiarity. "Hello?"

"Hi, Tamsin, it's Bo," I caught myself from the obvious trance I was in.

"What's up?" She asked through my phone, her voice chiming with friendliness. I couldn't help but feel a smile grow on my face after noticing it.

"Just at the Dal with Kenzi," I said, turning to look at the goth as she drained a glass of beer, motioning a refill to Trick. "What are you doing later?"

"Uhhh..." I heard through the call. The detective was quiet for a few seconds as she was, most likely, pondering. "I don't think I'm doing anything. Why?"

"You should come over," My mouth blurted out after hearing of her empty evening. I wanted to jump at Kenzi again and give her another hug as excitement enveloped me.

"I can do that," The Valkyrie admitted to me. "On one occasion."

"There will be beer," I smiled as I spoke, reassuring the woman through the phone.

"I'll be there," She stated to me.

"See you later, then," I excitedly responded.

"Definitely,"

Click.

"Kenzi, Kenzi, Kenzi!" I wiggled on top of the bar stool, shaking my arms with enthusiasm.

"I heard, I heard," Kenzi laughed to me as she took a sip of her replenished beer. I squealed in happiness and shook her arm after she placed her drink on the counter.

"This is about to be great!" I proclaimed with joy. I couldn't wait to spend the evening with Tamsin, even though I had just seen her this morning - which must've been why I was in such a great mood.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw someone enter the bar. I didn't think much of it, until they neared me and Kenzi with a confident stature.

"Sorry to bother," The stranger interrupted my thoughts. I turned my head and standing before me was a woman who could've been mistaken for Cleopatra, the exotic Egyptian goddess. I took in the sight of her as my eyes grew wide at her appearance. She had such divine facial features and was more beautiful than I thought possible. "Have you seen an incredibly sexy Valkyrie around here recently?"

Whoa. Whoa.

"Pardon?" I choked, my head throwing itself forward it complete shock.

"I believe her name is Tamsin, if I am correct," The woman noted, bringing an elegant finger to her dark hair and twirling a strand with it. Her other hand crossed around the middle of her chest.

"What does someone like you want with Tamsin?" I heard Kenzi ask curiously.

"Someone like me," The woman responded, her eyes suddenly flashing an erratic, electric blue color. Her display only lasted a second, and was instantly tamed by her natural blue eye color. "Wants everything to do with Tamsin."

"You're a succubus?" I stifled out of my throat; this cannot be happening.

"Her body, at least," The woman continued, turning away as she mumbled on about the Valkyrie. She suddenly turned her head back to me and bore her eyes into mine. "And as are you, Bo."

"Who are you?" Kenzi immediately asked after the woman declared my identity.

Kenzi and I were both fully facing the succubus, which did not turn out well. The stranger's hand found itself on Kenzi's leg, softly motioning a sensual touch over the exposed skin. I saw waves of enthrallment being pulsated instantly into Kenzi, the area glowing with a orange-red color.

"I'm Odessa, darling," The succubus purred as she continued to touch my best friend in an enticing manner.

"Holy shitballs," My friend gasped as she leaned towards the woman with hungry-looking eyes. I threw my arm out and grabbed 'Odessa's' and yanked it off of Kenzi.

"Do not touch her," I declared, standing up off of the stool. My body blocked Odessa from Kenzi as I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Someone's a little protective," Odessa spoke, dragging the first word out. I raised my eyebrow at her showing I wasn't phased by her attitude.

"What do you want with Tamsin?" I felt myself growl defensively at the suspicious woman. She grinned at my tone and winked decisively at me.

"I plan on engaging in certain vigorous activities with her," Odessa clearly answered me. I frowned at hearing her words and couldn't help but feel jealous at the thought of Tamsin with someone else. "I would invite you to join, but you're not my type."

"Excuse me?" I stepped forward towards the woman, bringing my arms down to my sides as hands balled into ready fists.

"I only do Valkyries," She responded, leaning her head towards me with a serious expression on her face.

"Well, I'm afraid I can't let you 'do' her," I heard myself state confidently. The woman chuckled at my confession and brushed it off without hesitation.

"And I'm afraid you can't stop me," She answered, an annoying smile forming on her perfect face. Right now, I wanted nothing more than to bash that face in with quite a few punches. I would not sit around while this woman planned to violate Tamsin just for the sake of a quick feed.

"You couldn't be more wrong," I said as I motioned to move towards her in a fighting stance. Before anything escalated even more Kenzi shot in front of me, causing me to stop in my tracks.

"Bo-"

"What, Kenzi?" I frustratingly asked her. I really wanted to teach this bitch a lesson, and having Kenzi in the way wasn't helping in any way.

"I would let you do this," She said, her voice at a calming volume and she tried to relax me. "But you have a date tonight and, as your best friend, I will not let you look like a disaster during it."

A date - I liked the sound of that.

I sighed and took a step back, turning away from the woman and lightly grabbed Kenzi's wrist.

"Let's go,"


When we got home it was getting late and I rushed inside to get ready. I remembered how Tamsin liked the outfit I was wearing now, but I wanted to see the expression on her face when I surprised her with a different one.

Kenzi had been a great friend and went over to Hale's for the night, kissing me on the cheek and wishing me good luck before she left. Surprisingly, I was increasingly becoming nervous and thoughts of Odessa drooling over Tamsin kept flashing through my mind. I did not want to mention her tonight but I had the feeling of wanting to make sure Tamsin wasn't interested in her in the same way. I tried my best to push the thoughts away as I went through my cabinet, searching for a suitable outfit.

A shirt and pants? No.

A skirt? No.

A dress?

...hell yeah.

I found a black, v-neck dress hidden in the back of the clothing cabinet and took it off of its hanger. The edges were traced with lace and I nodded in satisfaction as I examined it.

After dressing, I brought the hair on top of my head to the back with a bobby pin and straightened the sides, a look I remember doing the last time I wore this dress. While doing so I heard a distinct knock on the front door downstairs. I practically jumped after hearing it and turned to hurry down the stairs.

I paced towards the door, releasing a nervous breath as I tried to keep my cool. My hand shakily found the knob and eventually swung the door open, my hair moving in the brief breeze.

Tamsin stood there, wearing a light denim jacket over a white shirt and deliciously tight black jeans.

"What up, succubus?"
