This time when they arrived at their new location, Bo felt nauseous. She hoped this was the last place they had to apparate to today. She looked around the wooded area. It was getting dark and Tamsin didn't look too good.

"Let's go," Tamsin said, leading them once again, this time on a dirt path that lead to a beautifully landscaped yard in the middle of the woods. Bo saw apple and plum trees with glowing lights strung along them.

"Where are we?" Bo asked, completely astounded by the property.

"Believe or not, I have a friend," Tamsin replied. "We're in Norway."

"Nor-what? Norway! Shtako, no wonder I feel like my insides got turned upside down," Kenzi said, rubbing her stomach. "That's a long way to apparate."

Bo noticed a shadow of someone approaching them. When the woman, who Bo thought must be in her early fifties, saw Tamsin, she opened her arms wide for an embrace.

"Let's get you inside," she said in an uneasy voice. "Who are your friends, Tamsin?"

"Acacia, this is Bo and Kenzi," Tamsin sputtered, obviously in more pain than when they first arrived.

They exchanged hellos, and followed Acacia inside. The door on the back porch led to a rustically decorated room with high ceilings. Across from them was a wall of windows that gave view to a large body of water in the distance.

Acacia walked Tamsin to the couch and left to get bandages. Bo sat with Tamsin, feeling bad about the attack. She was about to offer her chi when Acacia returned to patch the Valkyrie up and get the scoop on her friend's unexpected visit.

After hearing their story, Acacia didn't seem surprised at the trouble. "We've dealt with worse," she said smiling at Tamsin. She patted her knees and then raised herself up. "Come on, then", she said, gesturing to Bo and Kenzi. "I'll take you to where you'll be sleeping."

Acacia showed them their rooms and then headed to her own bed.

Bo said good night to Acacia and quickly returned to Tamsin in the living room.

"Let me help you, Tamsin," Bo pleaded for the third time. She was still feeling guilty that Tamsin took the knife wound instead of her. "It will heal so fast and we don't have to kiss for me to give you chi."

"Are you going to keep pushing this?" Tamsin complained.

"Yes," Bo admitted.

Tamsin was ready for it to stop. "Ok, fine," she grumbled.

Bo walked over to the couch Tamsin was sitting on and kneeled down in front of her. Being so close to the Valkyrie pushed Bo's hunger to the surface. She had to use immense self- control to lightly hover above Tamsin without touching her.

Tamsin also had to settle her own nerves from having Bo so close.

When Bo moved in to give her chi, they stared into each other's eyes in silence.

When it began, Tamsin felt a surge of vigor and then the new feeling of her wounds repairing themselves. She felt stronger. Underneath all of those sensations was the thread binding her to Bo and the familiar ache from looking into her brown eyes. A painful longing for goodness burned in the Valkyrie. Like a moth to a flame, she couldn't turn her eyes from the Succubus.

When Bo stopped sending chi to Tamsin, it was hard to remove herself from the blonde's gaze, especially since it almost seemed that their breaths had begun to match each other's.

"Wow, if that's what 'not kissing' looks like, I can't even imagine the sex," Kenzi said, fanning her face.

They both hadn't noticed Kenzi in the room until her words brought them out of their trance. Bo pushed herself off the couch, and wasn't surprised to watch Tamsin make a quick exit.

"Nice one, Kenzi! " Bo snapped.

"What? I'm just doing what I do," Kenzi proclaimed with extended arms.

Bo's hands moved to her hips. "And what's that exactly?" she asked, staring at her friend.

"I don't know—my thing. There isn't a name for it, but it's definitely mine and it's definitely unique."

"Unique is one word for it," Bo said sarcastically. "Come on, let's get some sleep."
