She hadn't really thought about where she was going with the large bag of Chinese food sitting in the passenger seat of her car. The odd way the traffic and street lights had blurry halos made her think that driving was perhaps not the most responsible thing for her to be doing when she was this tired.
Although she shouldn't have been surprised to find herself outside Bo's place, it was kind of interesting to think that this was where her subconscious had brought her. Thank goodness the food was more than enough for one person. She just hoped Bo was hungry.
She propped the bag in one arm and rapped on the door with her free hand. When it opened, Lauren stood stock still, momentarily stunned.
"What's up, Doc?" Dyson said, grinning infuriatingly at her. She thrust the bag of food into his hands, shoved him back inside Bo's house and closed the door between them.
She turned away, slowly heading back to the car, an ache settling deep in her chest. She should have known that the shifter would be here. Ever since she'd made the mistake of trying to protect Bo from Vex, Dyson and Bo had seemed bound even more. It was as though whatever affection Bo had reserved for Lauren was, from that night forward, diverted to Dyson.
She made it as far as her car before her legs threatened to give out. She managed to climb up onto the hood and sit with her knees drawn up, head between them. She sat in stunned silence, unwilling to fight the tears when they came.
She heard cautious footsteps before she felt a hand on her shoulder. She shoved the hand away, not bothering to look up.
"Lauren-"
"God damn it, Bo, I've been tortured enough for one night!" she growled. "I shouldn't have come here."
"Please, just-"
"Go away!"
"Dyson's gone."
Lauren did look up then. She could feel all the pain and uncertainty from the last couple of weeks boiling just below the surface. "You know, I was seriously deluding myself when I hoped that I might have something to offer you, Bo. But really how can I compare to Dyson?" She scoffed, shaking her head. "I don't even have enough life to heal you completely!" Bo regarded her with a pained expression, which Lauren mistook for pity. "Don't look at me like that. I have made nothing but mistakes as far as you and I are concerned, but I get it now. You don't want human garbage, not when there's man-wolf to be had."
A cloud of anger appeared on Bo's face. "Your biggest mistake is presuming you know how I feel. You've made it twice now." The intensity of Bo's gaze set Lauren trembling. "I assumed you were a quicker study, Doctor."
Before Lauren knew what was happening, Bo had gripped her legs, unfolding her so that she slid forward into the succubus' embrace. The doctor managed to prop herself on her elbows, stunned at the sudden nearness of Bo's body. Bo gripped Lauren's waist, fingers digging insistently through her blouse into her skin, nearly painfully. The succubus' eyes were narrowed, conveying feelings that mere words could not. Not only was Bo angry, she was frustrated. Lauren felt her breath hitch in her chest as Bo raked her gaze over Lauren's body. Etched across Bo's features was one of the most possessive expressions Lauren had ever seen. Bo stood between Lauren's legs, devouring the doctor with nothing but ravenous eyes.
Caught between eroticism and terror, Lauren briefly considered struggling, but with Bo's strength she realized how futile and exhausting such an effort would be. Bo began to run her hands down Lauren's hips and around to her stomach, caressing as though she sensed the doctor's distant distress and set out to allay it. Fingers played at the bottom of Lauren's blouse, skipping across bare skin as it rode up. And then those hands were moving south to work the fly of her jeans. Bo eased Lauren up with one hand, while shifting the doctor's pants down with the other.
Suddenly unable to help herself, Lauren began unbuttoning her blouse. She desperately wanted to feel Bo's hands on her bare skin. Shrugging out of the blouse, Lauren was able to tangle her fingers in Bo's hair, drawing the succubus down until their lips met. Excruciating fireworks went off at the searching hunger Lauren felt in Bo's kiss. She could tell that the succubus was intent on proving something and Lauren was determined to let her.
Bo's fingertips brushed the tops of Lauren's breasts, curling under the fabric covering them. Shivers jolted up and down Lauren's spine at Bo's now tender, yet insistent touch. A loud ripping noise indicated when Bo had decided she wanted more, choosing to violently rid Lauren of the piece of clothing.
Bo broke their kiss. Lauren gasped, attempting to recapture the other woman by arching forward. Bo evaded her, choosing to watch Lauren's eyes as she trailed her fingers down the doctor's breasts, lower across her abdomen, finally stopping inside her thighs. She toyed with the fabric there, too, the final obstruction.
Lauren could feel Bo's heat, the driving passion, and wanted nothing more than to experience what the succubus was offering. Bo's eyes stayed on Lauren's as she bent her head forward, only looking away at the last possible moment to take one creamy nipple into her mouth, eliciting a contented sigh from Lauren.
The succubus' hands began their work then, too. Bo shifted Lauren's panties to the side, slowly, delicately sliding first one finger, then another inside Lauren's slick warmth. To keep from making too much noise, Lauren shoved her hand in her mouth and fought the rising urge to ride Bo. This was the succubus' thing and Lauren selfishly wanted to take it. She wanted Bo to work for it.
Bo's fingers and mouth worked with impeccable skill until Lauren could handle it no longer and allowed herself release with a low, guttural, animalistic moan.
Collapsing back against the hood of the car, and feeling the chilly metal against her back, Lauren draped a hand across her forehead and simply breathed in and out, trying to etch the feeling permanently into her memory. She smiled when Bo nestled herself between her thighs, resting her head against Lauren's stomach.
"Now you get it," Bo said.
