VENUS AFTER DARK
Cedric was speechless. He has seen Shay a dozen times but never up close. Her exotic beauty was stunning. Her eyes were such a striking blue especially against her pitch black hair. The Moreel became suddenly aware of the suspicion in the dark haired succubus's eyes. Realizing the situation he put himself in he went to get up, "Sorry for wasting your time." As he was turning around he saw her hand reach out for his arm with that soft red glow to it. He caught her arm by the wrist making sure she did not make contact with her thrall. "I'm not one for thralls, succubus."
Shay wasn't at all impressed with the stranger's knowledge of what fae type she was. "I didn't realize you were a Moreel. Normally when my thrall doesn't work, and that rarely happens, I would go with kicking you square in the chest. I'm just not feeling breaking my foot, or ankle or even my leg." Since he was quick to point out her species she figured she would return the favor. She felt it in his smooth cool hands. "What was with the weird gaping stare?"
The Moreel knew it was best to smooth this situation over as soon as possible. He never got Odin's permission to tell Shay any information. "It was your beauty and your quickness to point out how unappealing my gender was to you." He turned on his heels and headed to the bar before she had the chance to respond to anything else. From this point on no distractions it was time for strictly work.
The dark haired succubus watched him walk to the bar. He set off all kinds of alarms in the dark fae. She would have to report this guy to Evony and Lauren. This one could be a member of the seethe fae killers. She gave him the once over before retreating to the back. She wanted to be sure she was able to describe him in perfect detail so they would be able to spot him again.
2 DAYS LATER – LAUREN'S PENTHOUSE
Lauren and Bo were sitting in the kitchen as Lauren gave Bo a fork full of the breakfast she just made. "It's good right? See there is more to this seethe than kick ass power and the whole awesome doctor thing." She waited for Bo to finish chewing before gently kissing her cheek.
Bo loved the time the two spent together the past two days. Besides the incredibly hot passionate sex there was just a lot of time for the two of them to talk and be a normal mushy couple. No talk of upcoming doom or her father's return. Just them enjoying time together, they both shut their phones off and Lauren gave strict instructions to the front guards that no one was allowed to disturb them. "Can we do this for another few days?" Bo wasn't ready to go back to the worrying and training.
"Um as much as I would truly love to, I think if we don't turn on our phones soon our friends are going to try their training exercises on the building guards." She already peeked into Bo's thoughts and although she agreed that the past couple of days were amazing and well deserved. Life was still going on outside her penthouse walls and they needed to be ready and prepared or there would be no more days like these. Seeing the slight look of disappointment in her lover's eyes she put her hands on Bo's capturing her attention. "When we win, and when this is over, we will travel the world like you originally wanted. Just us, wherever you want to go, I love you Bo and we will enjoy thousands of days like these once we kick ass." She smiled as she added in the last part confident that they might actually come out of this.
"Fine, but I am holding you to that," the succubus knew she was right of course but still wanted those few extra days. After all they lost over 5 months of time together.
Lauren hesitantly got up to retrieve their cell phones. When she came back in the room she turned both phones on handing Bo's phone to her as she sat next to her again. "No chance that I can convince you not to be there if we find out when this is going to happen?"
Bo got up from her seat as she took the plates to the sink. "None," she called over her shoulder. Turning around she was face to face with the blonde. "When did you sneak behind me?" She put her arms around the blonde's waist as she leaned in for a kiss. They both stopped when they heard their phones making all kinds of sounds.
Lauren grabbed hers, "I have 42 voicemails and about 50 texts." She was laughing as she saw some of the ones her hybrid friend sent her. Bo was checking her phone as well, "About the same here. I think 30 alone are from Kenzi."
"You want to call her or should I?" Lauren asked as she went to the intercom to let the front guard know that she was going to be getting visitors.
"I got it," Bo said as she was dialing the hybrid's number.
"Oh so you two aren't dead?" Kenzi spat into the phone when she picked up on the second ring, "There is a group of fae killers out there and you two decide to go MIA. Are you done acting out 50 Shades of Grey?"
"Okay, okay, I know we should have called but we had to make up for lost time." The succubus felt bad that they worried their friends but when she was with Lauren time felt like it just flew by. Hours only feel like seconds and she wanted the seethe to be just hers for a little while. Lately it seemed like everyone needed Lauren for something.
"Are you two done playing house now?" Kenzi huffed into the phone. The hybrid was happy for her two friends. It's just now was bad timing and they couldn't get past the guard in Lauren's lobby. They knew the two were in the seethe's place but that didn't mean Odin couldn't get to them. The whole group was worried that the dark sorcerer might have taken them to his realm.
The seethe came up behind Bo as she took the phone from her. "Kenzi, it's Lauren, why don't you come by and start moving your stuff in?" The blonde knew how to smooth things over with the little goth.
"You wicked, wicked seethe you are totally bribing the Kenz and it's completely working. See you in a few."
Lauren handed her phone back to her girlfriend. "You're welcome," she said as she kissed Bo's cheek. The brunette was speechless everything seemed to be perfect. She finally had Lauren back, all her friends were getting along, and that's what scared her. When things seem to be going so well it's because doom is usually lurking around the corner.
The seethe was already half way up the stairs as she held on to the banister to talk to Bo. "Babe, stop thinking like that." Lauren started back up the staircase as she stopped again, "You can move your stuff in as well." With that she disappeared up the steps.
That caught Bo's attention as she glanced to where the blonde was just standing. She knew she heard that right. A smile crept across her face till she realized all the shit she had to move. With that she groaned as she headed up the stairs following after Lauren.
About forty minutes later the elevator doors opened as Kenzi came in carrying a box of her stuff. She was followed by her boyfriend who was carrying two cases. Behind him was the wolf carrying another two boxes filled with just shoes and wigs. "Come on guys hustle," Kenzi yelled over her shoulder as she walked to the room she stayed in a few nights ago.
Bo and Lauren were upstairs when they heard the hybrid yelling. She had to peel herself off of the succubus. "We should go down there and let everyone see we are alive."
Bo was biting into her bottom lip as she shook her head. Stepping into Lauren's space she spoke in a flirting tone, "We should definitely. Wouldn't want to be up here all alone doing things like this (she kissed the seethe's neck) or like this (as she kissed her lips softly)."
It took everything in the seethe to stop herself from continuing down this road again. She placed her hands on Bo's shoulders as she stopped her from another kiss or lick. "Bo," she tried to sound as stern as she could.
The succubus threw her hands in the air as she walked past the seethe. "Fine we will do it your way but mine was more fun." With that she was heading down the stairs. Lauren was right behind her.
Hale, Dyson and Kenzi were in Lauren's living room sitting down talking when the two ladies walked in. "How long were you two knocking bits because you got the whole eye glowing thing going on. Kind of blinding," Kenzi was squinting as she talked to the two. Hale and Dyson were smiling at the goth.
"They are kind of bright; will it stay that way long?" Hale was facing them when he talked but not looking in their eyes.
Lauren looked at Bo's beautiful blue eyes. "It, well, it um depends on the length of time we were, let's just say together. Based on that probably till tonight."
"Are they always this bright because it seems a lot shinier than normal," Dyson stated.
"With Bo this is normal but usually no it isn't," the seethe answered. She saw the glare her girlfriend was giving her. She gave her an innocent look. Lauren knew she wasn't too thrilled with her reference to being with other succubi but it was true. Although her eyes would turn green they never shined they way they did when she was with Bo. The same was true for the succubus. Her eyes were a sharp glowing blue much brighter than her normal blue.
The blonde's phone started to ring as Bo picked it up. "Dr. Lewis's lover, what can I help you with," she laughed into the phone.
"Fucking finally, I have been calling for the past two damn days. Is the seethe there," Tamsin ignored the succubus. She was trying to reach them for awhile and didn't want to hear the details of what they were doing.
Bo handed Lauren the phone, "It's Tamsin," she said as she went over to Kenzi. Lauren could only smile at her lover. "Yeah Tamsin what's going on?"
"Really think it's smart to shack up when a bunch of fae are trying to rip you apart limb from limb?"
The seethe shook her head. No matter what the Valkyrie would never learn tact. If they sat down and gave her lessons everyday they would go right over her. "Yes we already got the lecture so if that's what you called for you're a little late."
"Wow so disappointing but that's not why I called. Vex and I had a meeting with Carrig and he made it clear you want to be present during interrogations you need to get your ass down to the compound and meet Selene whether Bo likes it or not. Tell her to pout in a corner and get your ass over here because we got shit in two days." Tamsin hung up the phone.
ASH COMPOUND
Lauren strolled through the compound doors. The guards that were there slowly backed away from the seethe. Seeing the glowing green eyes was intimidating to the other fae. Tamsin and Vex were there waiting for her.
"Lovey I hate to point this out but your eyes can guide us through the dark," the Mesmer couldn't peel his eyes off of hers, "You know how those would look with some black mascara? I think I've got some in one of these pockets, hang on love." He started to unzip different pockets as he felt around them.
Tamsin punched her partner in the arm, "Out of everyone they could have paired me with I got this fucking freak." She didn't wait as she pushed through the doors walking a few steps ahead of them. The Valkyrie stopped in front of Carrig's office. "Well douche bags are you going to open the door or should I just throw you out of the way." Tamsin said to Carrig's guards.
"Let them in," Carrig called from his office. He stood by his desk as he watched the three of them walk in. He was immediately mesmerized by the seethe. The Ash couldn't believe one truly existed and here she was standing in his office. The most powerful fae that ever existed and she was awaiting his instructions. He saw her smirk and knew that the she was reading his thoughts. "Welcome Lauren and thank you for coming."
"You really didn't give me much of an option." The seethe looked around the room as memories of her fake human life flashed in her mind. Being a slave coming in this room asking for permission to do anything she wanted. The times she was actually thrown in a dungeon. She had to remind herself that this Ash had nothing to do with that but it was hard to not want to implode everyone in the building with the exception of her two friends. The things that were done to her in this compound were not something she would forget in many years to come. "What are your terms?"
The Ash saw the anger in the seethe's eyes. He knew coming to the building where she once was held a slave couldn't have been easy on her. He knew to tread lightly on this one. No one wanted to anger a seethe. "You want to be present on interrogations; all I ask for in return is meeting the succubus that I had my bounty hunters track down. I know you have chosen a mate I am not asking you to betray the unaligned succubus but simply that you give me the courtesy that I am giving you." He thought this was a fair trade. She wanted to listen to his fae's thoughts and he wanted her to meet the succubus he went through great lengths to find. Even if she became friendly with her that would be a plus for the light fae because as it stood now the seethe only spoke with dark fae succubi and the unaligned one.
After Lauren agreed to the terms she was asked to wait while Tamsin retrieved Selene. Naturally the seethe also asked for permission to use the lab. She still needed to work on the injections so her friends could be comfortable around her instead of picturing the things that they were. The blonde found herself wondering to her old lab. As she pushed through the door she was hit with a bunch of memories at once. This was the first place she met Bo. It was where the succubus confronted her after Lauren slept with her on the Ash's request, although it wasn't the only reason she did it. This was also the place she kissed her thinking she might not have the chance to again as the stubborn brunette went to fight her mother. She didn't need to turn around to know Selene had entered the room. Her inner seethe automatically reacted to the presence of the new succubus.
Selene stood still as she observed the seethe. She seemed lost in thought. Lauren spun around to face the new succubus. Kenzi was right she did look like Alice from Resident Evil. With the short dark brown hair the light blue eyes even her lips and body matched the zombie killer. She watched as Selene's eye color changed from their normal light blue to that succubus blue. This is what the seethe wanted to avoid. Selene's succubus was reacting to the seethe. She put a little more space between them. "Nice to see you again Selene," the seethe tried to start a conversation.
The short haired succubus stood still as she tried to compose herself. At 1300 years old she should be able to control her succubus but right now it was impossible. She closed her eyes as she tried to control her breathing and her thoughts. "Sorry that I didn't say anything last time we spoke. I am…," it was hard to concentrate on speaking when she was using almost all of her brain to not jump the seethe.
"Selene, I'm sorry can you excuse me for a minute," Lauren walked out of the room making sure to keep a large enough space between her and the succubus. She trailed a little down the hall before pulling out her cell and calling Bo. When the brunette picked up Lauren spoke, "Babe you are not going to like this but in order for me to be present during the light fae interrogations I had to agree to meet Selene. He also agreed to allow me access to his lab."
"I trust you Lauren, and we knew what his terms would be."
"That's not the part you aren't going to like. I need to give some of my chi to Selene otherwise she is going to lose control. I didn't want to do it without letting you know first." Lauren was quiet as she knew what her lover was thinking. Sometimes she wished she couldn't read thoughts.
The succubus got very quiet at hearing her girlfriend's request. She knew how it felt to be around Lauren and being a succubus. It was so incredibly intense but it didn't mean she had to like this request. That chi belonged to her and her alone. Matter of fact everything about Lauren belonged to just her. It was a good thing her eyes were already blue because if they weren't they would be now. "Do I have a choice?"
"Yes, you always do, it would make this a lot easier for me but if you don't want it I won't do it. Just know I was just going to get close enough to get some chi in her no lips touching babe." The seethe hated hurting Bo. She never wanted her to be upset about anything. Even though it would be harder if it was going to affect her lover this much then she would just have to use telekinesis on the succubus. That way she could make sure she didn't lunge for the seethe.
"No babe it's fine. Just a little though or I'll have to kick her ass. Should I just come there and keep her in line?" This killed her unfortunately she knew that the only way to have a conversation was to have some of Lauren's chi. Also knowing how Lauren's chi felt coursing through you was not something she wanted anyone else to experience, well anymore.
"You sure," the seethe wanted to be positive Bo was behind it. This time they both promised neither would do anything to screw up their relationship and she was sticking to that.
"Yes but don't tell me about it. Oh and your making this up to me later with a lot of orgasms." Before she hung up the phone she decided to add one more thing in, "And I couldn't decide on what panties were sexier so I decided not to wear any, see you later babe, love you."
Lauren's mouth dropped open. Her girlfriend was such a tease. Now she had the image of Bo in her sexy outfit with nothing on when she ripped off her pants later. Amazing how the succubus could wrap the seethe around her finger. She stepped back into the lab and without saying anything grabbed the sides of Selene's face as the green chi went into the short haired fae. After less than a minute she pulled back, "Better?"
She lost her balance as Lauren let go of her. Her whole body felt electrifying. She never experienced anything like that but at least she no longer felt the urge to rip her clothes off. Selene placed her two fingers on her lips before she dragged them down allowing her hand to drop. "Wow, that was, wow, lost for words, give me a second. " She closed her eyes before opening them up again, "I've never felt anything like that. Yes it's better, thank you. I want you to know that I am sorry I know you are dating someone."
The seethe was a few feet away from the new succubus. "Actually living with her now, her name is Bo. We have an extremely long complicated history. Thank you for respecting it. And thank you for coming down here to help me."
"I have spent some time with Vex and Tamsin. They filled me in on the Bo/Lauren Saga, least that was what they called it. It sounded pretty romantic actually. Two lovers who had everything against them that somehow beat the odds till the odds beat them. Yet after sometime apart the two found their way back to each other realizing they were each other's perfect match all along. I think Nicholas Sparks might write a novel on you two." Selene laughed.
Lauren couldn't help but join her in laughing it actually was pretty funny how their relationship did play out like a romantic novel. "Well when you put it like that it does sound like something from a book."
Tamsin banged the door open, "Interrogations are going to start you coming or did you find a new toy?" The Valkyrie raised an eyebrow as she glanced back and forth between the two. Seemingly impossible to miss the wide smiles on both their faces.
"Looks like I'm up, time to find out who is trying to kill me. It was nice talking to you this time Selene." Lauren shook the new succubus's hand as she went to leave the room.
"Lauren, wait, if I can help in any way I will. Again Vex and Tamsin filled me in on everything if I hear anything I will let you know. If you find out anything I will be there to help you fight. Let Bo know she is a lucky girl." Selene spoke to Lauren with sincerity etched in her voice. The seethe thanked her again and left to go start interrogations. When she was sure that Lauren was nowhere near her she pulled out her cell phone and dialed Evony. "I got to meet Lauren, I didn't think of you or the dark fae. I used Bo like you suggested and I think I am on her good side." She hung up the phone placing it back in her pocket. She has been a spy for the Morrigan for 100 years and this was the hardest thing she had to do so far. Keeping control of your thoughts was a lot harder then it sounded.
LIGHT FAE INTERROGATIONS
Lauren stepped into the interrogation room. It was a small room with not much in it. There were four dark colored walls with a wooden chair that was chained to the floor. It had the appearance of an electrocution chair with shackles. The room itself was slightly bigger then a King Size bed. Carrig was standing against the back wall directly in front of the fae who was currently in the chair. Tamsin was on his right and Vex was on his left. Carrig paid no attention to the seethe as she walked in. Instead he turned to Vex, "Vex would you be so kind." With that Vex and Carrig switched places. "Ready to feel the wrath of Vex my friend," the Mesmer lifted his hand as the fae in the chair grabbed his own throat choking himself. Lauren used her telekinesis to push Vex against the wall allowing the fae in the chair to drop his own arm. "What the hell is this," the seethe demanded.
Carrig faced her, "You wanted to be present, did you not? Then please do not question my methods as I am the leader of the light. Did you think we would just bake them cookies and ask them to politely tell us who is trying to kill you?" The Ash couldn't understand the seethe's rage at their methods. After all they were doing this for her. She was supposed to be immune to developing feelings so that she could judge fae on whether they should live or die.
"I judge that based on their actions. This fae has done nothing to deserve torture. I do wish to be present so I suggest you find another way to interrogate." She got closer to the new Ash, "Otherwise you might find yourself as the one I am judging." She hissed out the warning through her clenched teeth. The blonde would not tolerate unnecessary violence.
Tamsin had her back against the wall with her arms crossed over her chest. In the blink of an eye she had the fae out of the chair and on the floor while she was crouched above him. She pulled out one of her weapons and held it to his throat, "What the fuck do you know about the fae trying to kill the seethe." Feeling the gaze of the seethe she looked up, "What, it's not torture your highness."
Lauren read the fae's mind besides absolute fear he had no idea about any of the fae that were trying to kill her. She went behind Tamsin placing a hand on her friends shoulder, "He doesn't know anything."
Tamsin let the fae fall back to the floor as she released the part of his shirt that was twisted in her hands. "See threatened no fucking the fae up. Does it get the seethe stamp of approval?"
The seethe rolled her eyes, "Not really but its better option for now. How many fae have all of you spoken with?"
"You know you've been throwing me around a lot lately Lauren, do you fancy me? Is it a sex game," the Mesmer tried to ease the tension in the room instead he got all three giving him an odd look. "Tough crowd then. 32, we interrogated 32."
"So far none knew shit. If they did they sure as hell know how to keep their fucking mouths closed. Which only means they actually didn't know anything or whoever is in charge is scarier than me, Vex and the Ash."
The seethe stayed there for another two hours as they went through another 16 fae. Not one of them knew anything. The blonde probed into the depths of their minds and subconscious and still no one had a clue. She even took time to speak with some of the fae that they had already spoken to when she wasn't there. Everything was a dead end.
She thanked the Ash for continuing to do what he could in helping her and for the access to the lab. Lauren also thanked Vex and Tamsin and gave the Mesmer a quick apology for throwing him earlier. She made it clear no hurting any fae. If that meant they got no information then the she would have to deal with that. Walking out of the compound she grabbed her phone and called Evony. She stopped in front of her bike as she told the Morrigan she was going to stop by to see how her interrogations were coming along.
MORRIGAN'S COMPOUND
Pulling into the dark fae leaders' compound she put down the kick stand and called Bo to let her know where she was and would be home shortly. The succubus told her to take her time as she was still moving things in with Kenzi, Dyson and Hale. She hung up the phone thinking how normally when Bo said she was with Dyson it would drive her crazy and for the first time ever it didn't. The seethe knew Bo was completely hers and had nothing to worry about with the shifter.
Evony was in the room she met Shay in months ago. She got up when Lauren entered the room. Strutting towards her the dark fae kissed both sides of her face like a long time friend would. "Lauren sweetie I haven't heard from you in days I was beginning to think we were too late and you were already dead." She went back to the chair she was sitting in as she motioned to the chair across from her for Lauren to sit in.
"Thanks Evony your words are touching." She sat across from the Morrigan. "Were you able to find out any information from your fae?"
The Morrigan's face changed from smiles to annoyance. "No little back stabbing shits. And none are dead like promised." She crossed her legs as she sat back in her chair. "I have gone through about 50 fae so far."
"The light only went through 32 how did you cover so many more."
"Honey because I am not the light, they are slow at everything if you ask me." Seeing this was not an acceptable answer by the seethe she continued, "I also have some of my trusted fae doing interrogations. Girl can't do everything on her own."
"Can we do a few interrogations now so I can read their minds for myself?"
The Morrigan stood from her chair, "Of course honey follow me." Evony was glad in that moment that she prepared for a surprise visit from the seethe. They went into the dark fae interrogation room which was so different then the light fae one. This room was huge. It had a large black Persian throw rug in the middle of the room. There was a large black leather chair that was shaped in a wave almost. If you sat in the chair it was like you were lounging. There was a slight incline to the back of the chair and the legs lifted up by the knees and lowered again past that. Next to the leather chair was two regular leather executive seats.
Lauren pointed to the chair, "What the hell is this?"
Evony glanced over her shoulder since she was facing the seethe. "I'm not a barbarian. Make them nice and comfortable and talk to them. They are scared enough of me least if I treat them like this they think I am about to kill them. You know sort of like how humans give someone their favorite food before they sentence them to death." She sat in one of the executive leather chairs.
Lauren followed sitting in the one next to her. "Gee, Evony how nice," she made no attempt to hide the distaste in her voice. It was sort of impressive though. Her reasoning and logic actually made sense. Who knew that the Morrigan would be more civilized then the Ash. Evony yelled out for the next fae to come in. Two gigantic faes came in the room behind a smaller fae in comparison to the two goons.
The fae was simple looking. Not too much taller than Lauren, receding hair line, what was left was very short and blonde. He looked terrified as he saw Evony. She had a huge smile on, "Lance be a dear and sit down while I just ask you a few questions."
He looked back towards the door and the two goons were now standing directly in front of it. He stared at the chair like he was expecting it to jump up and clamp shut with teeth right on him. He very hesitantly sat in the chair. The Morrigan got up and put her finger on his shoulder pushing him into the chair, "Sorry but I don't have all day. I do have a whole clan of dark fae to run. Now let's make this short and sweet." She pulled her chair closer to the leather chair. "Oh and Lance don't lie to me it aggravates me and that's not good for either of us."
Okay so the seethe wasn't too happy with the fact that Evony was using fear to get answers but she had to admit it was better than torture. Evony stood up and sat next to Lance, "What do you know about the fae that are little shit back stabbers betraying me their wonderful leader to make plans with light fae on killing my friend here?"
The dark fae had such a panicked look in his eyes it was almost painful to look at. "I just heard whispers Morrigan that is all. Simple chit chat about a large number working together that want to take her out before she reaches full power. I don't know anything else I swear. I wouldn't lie. You have to believe me."
Evony got up, "Alright shut up you're giving me a headache." She caught Lauren's eye when she got the all clear from the seethe she snapped her fingers at her two goons. They came over and hooked their hands under Lance's arm ripping him out of the seat and dragging him out the door. The seethe didn't appreciate that neither but she knew with Evony it could have been worse. She sat with Evony for another two hours just like she did with the Ash. Besides the little bit of information that Lance had there was nothing else. He didn't even know the exact number as he heard all different amounts ranging from 10 to 2,000.
Lauren thanked Evony for allowing her to be in there during interrogations and was headed back to her bike. Just as she swung her leg over her phone went off. Getting it out of her pocket she saw Shay's face by her number. "Hey," she spoke into the phone as she pulled on her biker gloves.
"Hey, where are you?" Shay hated sounding like the pathetic ex.
"Just leaving Evony's we did some interrogations. What's up," she could hear some concern in Shay's voice.
"Did you get anywhere in the interrogations?" The older succubus couldn't help but wonder if Evony found out anything in the past 12 hours since she last talked to her. She was sure she wouldn't though it seemed that this group was really good at keeping their mouths sealed shut.
"Not much just that it's a large group that wants to kill me before I reach a hundred percent. I guess they aren't that stupid, another day in the life of a seethe." The seethe had to admit that it was smart for them to attack when she wasn't at full power. It made even more sense that while she had no clue about any of them they probably knew an awful lot about her. This was the only logical explanation as to why no one could get any answers. This group clearly knew who the seethe's friends were and was going through great lengths to make sure nothing got back to the blonde.
"I think I might have something can you stop by my work before you go…well wherever it is you were going after you left Evony's?" The dark fae asked without sounding to desperate to get her ex to her job. She did want Lauren to see her at work especially after her private show but she also wanted to tell her about the strange visitor she met a couple of days ago. Evony called her after Lauren called her to let her know that the seethe would be with her for a bit. Shay took this as her opportunity knowing Bo clearly wasn't with her.
"You can tell me now."
"I can't at work and all let me give you directions I will see you here." Shay gave her the directions to her job purposely keeping the name out of it she hung up before Lauren got to ask her. She knew that Lauren wouldn't think much of it considering she always hung up before saying good bye.
Before moving her bike she knew she had to make one other call. "Hi babe, we are almost all done moving in. I think I might have to take advantage of that pool or I can wait for you," she loved toying with the seethe.
A low growl escaped Lauren's lips. She knew she wouldn't be in the sexy flirting move after she talked. "Second time today you aren't going to be happy."
"What now?"
"I have to go to Shay's work. Before you get upset hear me out. Her work which means I will not be alone with her there will be other fae around. She has some information about this group that is trying to kill me and she couldn't stay on the phone." She was preparing for the yelling and screaming.
"That's it I'm going to have to pull a Hand that Rocks the Cradle on this bitch or Hand that holds the seethe in this case."
Lauren couldn't help thinking that was Bo. Total complete Bo reaction, "Do you trust me?"
"Yes, but I don't trust her, that skank," she figured she might as well not hold back. "Fine, but after you get your ass back here or I will have Dyson trace your number and I take her hoe ass on."
"Yes boss, I love you," with that Lauren hung up the phone and revved up the bike. She followed the directions that Shay gave her. It didn't take her more than fifteen minutes to get there. The blonde looked up and saw the sign Venus After Dark. She knew she was going to be in a shit load of trouble for this but she had to know what Shay knew.
The seethe pushed open the doors it lead to a little small entrance way. There was another door that put you in the club. It was only lit up by black light around the stage and the bars. Directly to her right was a bar and there was one to the left. Right in front of her was the stage it had a T shape to it with chairs going all around the entire T. There were cocktail waitresses that were wearing shorts that were so tiny the bottom of their asses were hanging out. There tops were bras with a shirt that had a deep V in it showing the bra and it stopped right below the breasts exposing their entire stomachs. Yes, she was in deep deep deep trouble.
She thought there was nothing that could make this any worse. Immediately she was proven to be completely wrong when her eyes focused on the stage. Standing there in 6 inch stilettos, wearing a black sheer embroidered lift bra and underwear that she could only describe as lace mesh front and caged back in cross-dye lace was Shay. Who at the moment was half way up the pole with her upper body dipped back letting her hair fall behind her while she seductively spun around. Her one leg was wrapped around the pole tightly keeping her in place. She glanced up catching the seethe's eye. Lauren literally fell into the seat that was closest to her. Big, big, huge, tremendous trouble, the seethe couldn't peel her eyes from the stage.
AN HOUR OUTSIDE OF TORONTO
Udano was satisfied with the fae around him. He never imagined there would be 82 of them. What he was even happier about was the strong under fae that decided to join in the cause. Although there wasn't many under fae they had a ton of light and dark fae. Some were stronger than others but overall he was pleased with all of them. He took his place on the stand. "We know her group. We know the fae they are. The wolf shifter, siren, succubi, pyrokines, Valkyrie, Mesmer, even the dark fae leader was a possibility in the mix, and the twins' half succubi half pixies. Her chosen mate is the unaligned succubus. Get rest for tomorrow we kill a seethe."
