A/N Sorry for the delay, things have been crazy. I hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you think. As usual, you guys are amazing, thank you for reading and for the reviews.


A pounding on the door interrupted round four.

"What the fuck?" Tamsin rolled off of Bo and Bo groaned in protest. Tamsin smirked down at her. "Just give me a second, Succu-babe." She threw a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt on and walked downstairs.

"What the hell do you want?" She asked, throwing open the door.

Kenzi was standing there, blushing furiously.

"Kenzi? Is everything ok?"

"Tamsin, I'm so sorry…this is so fucking stupid."

Behind her, a tall, attractive man stepped out from the shadows and spoke. "Sorry to interrupt your evening. Is the Succubus here?"

"What the hell is this?" Tamsin demanded. "Kenzi, are you ok?"

"I'm fine…is Bo here?"

Bo, hearing her name clearly in the muffled conversation, threw on a long t-shirt and padded downstairs.

"Tamsin? You ok?"

The man stepped forward. "Everyone is fine. Are you the Succubus?"

"Who the hell are you?"

He held out his hand. "My name is Julian. I met your human at the club. I would like to have sex with her."

Bo's eyes widened in confusion. "Um…Kenzi?"

Kenzi was staring at the ground, her face red, fidgeting with her hands. She was muttering to herself, but all Bo caught were the words 'stupid Fae laws.'

A smirk spread across Tamsin's face. "Bo, you claimed Kenzi. By Fae law, no one else can touch her. For any reason."

Bo's jaw dropped. "Are you kidding me?"

"How was I supposed to know that?" Kenzi finally burst out. "I'm just minding my own business, getting my flirt on, hoping to get more than that on eventually with this hunky piece of Dark Fae, and he tells me that he NEEDS YOUR PERMISSION?" She turned to Bo. "Do not judge me. And you weren't answering your phone!"

Bo burst out laughing. "Hey, Kenz, zero judgment here. You want to go with this guy?"

Kenzi stepped closer. "Um, hellooo? Bo-Bo, look at him," she whispered. "Wouldn't you?"

Bo shook her head and turned to Julian. "Um, ok. You have my permission?" she paused. "This feels super fucked up." She looked at the man closely. "But if you hurt her, or if you let anything happen to her, I will destroy you. Got it?"

He nodded, smiling. "Thanks." He turned to Kenzi. "Wanna go back to my place?"

"Oh hellz yeah," she responded, returning his smile. The pair walked off, Kenzi giving a little wave to Bo over her shoulder.

Tamsin shut the door and turned to Bo. "Well that was weird."

"Tamsin, I don't like that! Kenzi's an adult; she gets to make her own decisions! I don't have to give her permission for anything."

Tamsin shrugged. "I guess she's never slept with a Fae before. Look, Bo, you did a good thing claiming her. Your protection is invaluable to her. It just comes with some pesky little fine print."

She pulled Bo close. "Now. Where were we?" She scooped Bo up into her arms and carried her back up the stairs.

Evony was sitting at her desk when Lauren walked in. Erin was reading by the fire. Evony looked up. "Finally. What took you so long?"

"I've been working. Very hard, I might add."

Evony glared at her. "Hey. Kid. Give us a few minutes. Why don't you go up to your room and read?"

Erin looked back and forth between the two women, a small smile on her lips. "Sure, Evony." She grabbed her book and headed out the door.

Evony looked at Lauren. "You haven't been returning my calls. You're avoiding me. Is this about the Succubus?"

"Evony," Lauren's voice was cold, "I told you. I've just been working. Besides, I was not under the impression that I had an obligation to return your calls."

"Oh cut the crap, Doc. First of all, you work for me. Of course you have to return my calls. And secondly, this isn't just about you working hard and you know it."

"Bo is absolutely right!" Lauren burst out. "You are dangerous and evil and corrupt and everything that I hate!"

The Morrigan raised her eyebrow. "Not everything you hate, Doc." She stepped out from behind her desk and moved towards Lauren. "I think there are at least a few things that you really, really like about me." Her voice was low and seductive, and Lauren found herself being drawn into her. Evony closed the gap between them fully and wrapped her arms around Lauren's waist. Lauren shook her head, but didn't pull away.

"No. This is wrong."

Evony kissed up her neck to her ear, whispering, "Then why does it feel so right?"

Tamsin and Bo had finally worn each other out and fell asleep. They woke up after only a few hours sleep.

"Ugh," Bo complained, smacking her lips. "My mouth is so dry."

Tamsin smirked at her. "Well, you did lose a lot of fluids last night."

"Mmmm," Bo said with a smile, remembering. "Yeah, that was pretty incredible." She reached over and intertwined her fingers with Tamsin's, who smiled back at her. "No complaints here."

Tamsin sat up, kissed Bo on the forehead and started to stand up.

Bo grabbed her arm. "Where are you going?"

Tamsin smirked. "I was going to shower. We have work to do, Succubus."

Bo looked confused. "Work?"

Tamsin rolled her eyes. "Yeah, you know. Finding Erin's dad? Discovering who killed her mom? We have to get the DNA sample to Lauren to see if Roberto is the kid's dad. And Kenzi got Vincent's address, remember?"

"Oh, right," Bo replied. "Ugh," she groaned. "I really don't want to see Lauren. Any chance you'll bring it over to her?"

Tamsin shrugged. "Sure, I guess. What are you going to do?"

"Well, I want to make sure Kenzi makes it home alive. I was going to head home and grab her, then we could all go scout out Vincent?"

Tamsin nodded. "Sure, sounds good. Want some coffee or breakfast before you go?"

Bo beamed at her. "That sounds lovely."

Tamsin smiled and blushed lightly. "It'll be hard to top your blackened eggs. But I'll give it my best shot. Why don't you hop in the shower while I make some food." She stared at Bo, unable to take her eyes from the Succubus as she stood up, stretched, and walked into the bathroom naked. She shook herself out of her daze and went downstairs to make breakfast.

When Bo came downstairs half and hour later, Tamsin was just serving up the omelets. "Mmm, smells delicious," she said, wrapping her arms around Tamsin from behind. Tamsin turned, kissed her lightly, and handed her a plate with a spinach and cheese omelet, hash browns, and a piece of toast. There was already a cup of coffee waiting for her at the table. Bo sat down and took a bite.

"I'm pretty sure you are the perfect woman."

Tamsin just shook her head, smirking. "Thought that was supposed to be you, Succubus?"

"Nope," Bo replied. "There's more to life than sex."

The Valkyrie laughed. "Wow. Straight from a Succubus' mouth." She joined Bo at the table and they ate in contented silence.

When they were finished, Bo stood up. "I'm going to head home to check on Kenzi."

Tamsin nodded. "Sure. I'll head over to Lauren's after I shower. Call me when you guys are ready to track Vincent down."

Bo walked out the door, and Tamsin headed upstairs to shower.

Kenzi wasn't at the apartment when Bo got there. She sent her a text.

You ok? Coming home soon?

The reply came quickly.

SO great. On my way. See you in a few.

Bo smiled. Sounds like Kenzi had had a good night. This was confirmed when the girl walked in the door a few minutes later, smiling like an idiot. She collapsed on the couch and let out a moan of satisfaction. Bo went over and lifted her legs, sitting down and laying Kenzi's legs over her.

"Good night?"

Kenzi sat up halfway, propping herself on her elbows. "GREAT night. It had been so freaking long."

"What kind of Fae was he?" Bo asked curiously.

Kenzi smirked deeply. "A Gemini."

"Ahhhh," Bo nodded knowingly. "Two of him, huh?"

"Damn straight. Both dedicated to fulfilling my every desire." She smiled in satisfaction and lay back. "I'm assuming, based on the fact that you and T were still up when I came by, that you also had a good night of lovin'?"

"Mmhm," Bo agreed, smiling. "Hey, Kenz, I wanted to apologize. I had no idea that claiming you meant that you couldn't sleep with Fae without my permission. That was so fucked up, I'm so sorry."

"NO, Bo-Bo, I'm sorry. I couldn't believe it. It was like he physically couldn't touch me without your permission. On any other night, I would have just gone home but – "

"Oh, Kenz. No. I could unclaim you, but then you lose my protection. How about we just agree that if you ever want some Fae booty, I'll drop whatever I'm doing and give you permission."

Kenzi shrugged. "Works for me, as long as you don't mind potential late night booty calls."

Bo smiled at her, raising an eyebrow. "You gonna see him again?"

Kenzi gazed at her coyly. "Maybe." She changed the subject. "How's Erin? Did you go over there yesterday."

Bo's jaw dropped. "Oh my god, Kenzi! I didn't even tell you!"

"What? What?"

Bo leaned her head back and closed her eyes. "Lauren is…sleeping with…Evony." She peeked at Kenzi with one eye. She looked absolutely flabbergasted.

"Excuse me?"

"Tamsin kind of…walked in on them."

"Ewwwwwwwwww," Kenzi squealed. "Not a visual I ever wanted or needed."

"Tell me about it," Bo agreed.

"Ugh," Kenzi shuddered. She looked at Bo. "And how does the Succubus feel about that?"

Bo shook her head. "Not great, honestly. I mean, I know Lauren dumped me. And it's not like I can complain about her moving on. But The Morrigan? And…Kenz, it almost feels like Lauren is doing this just to hurt me."

Kenzi cocked her head and looked at Bo, speaking gently. "Bo-Bo, that's crazy-talk. If she was trying to hurt you, she would have flaunted it. She was obviously hiding it. And it's a little self-centered to think that Lauren's sex life will forever be about you, don't you think?"

Bo nodded. "Yeah, I guess you're right."

"Besides," Kenzi continued. "Evony's kind of a hottie…if you're into that evil seductress kind of thing." She paused. "You know, Bo-Bo, Lauren's kind of got a type."

Bo grabbed a pillow and hit her in the face with it.

"Hey!" Kenzi was laughing. "Just sayin'." She looked at Bo closely. "Bo-Bo, are you over Lauren?"

Bo hesitated. "I thought I was. I was feeling really good about moving on and starting over. But seeing her with someone else…it makes me feel really crappy."

"Oh, Bobolicious. Of course it does." She grabbed Bo's hand. "Ok, time for some real talk. Listen to the Kenz closely, ok?" Bo nodded. "Lauren dumped you and broke your heart and for that she will forever be on my shit list. But she's a good kid. She deserves to be happy just as much as you do. And Bo, you guys had enough issues that you were never actually super happy together. Now, I'm not saying that the evil, skanky bitch can make her happy. But she can't have you anymore. She has to start somewhere."

"I know," Bo replied. "You're right."

"And furthermore," Kenzi continued, "I've been meaning to have a little chat with you about Lil T."

Bo looked a little nervous. "Um, ok."

"Bo-Bo, babe. Sweetheart. Platonic love of my life. You know I love you. But you kind of have a bad habit of leaving a trail of broken hearts behind you."

Bo was about to protest, but she just looked at Kenzi and nodded in resignation.

"You can't really help it! I know that, everyone knows that. You're a Succubus. The name doesn't exactly scream monogamy. But Bo, Tamsin is one of the good ones. Pain in the ass though she may be, I love her like a weird sister/daughter."

"I know, Kenz."

"So then you won't be offended if I tell you that you better behave yourself. No running back to Lauren just because you're a little jealous. No guilting yourself back into Dyson's arms just because he's so mopey. I see that way T looks at you. Relationship or not, you're the most important thing in her life. She would do anything for you, Bo. Has, in fact, DIED for you. Please please please, take care of her fragile little Valkyrie heart, ok?"

Bo smiled gently at her friend. "Of course. I promise, Kenzi. I will do everything in my power to make her as happy as she makes me."

"Good. Because I really don't want to break out the power tools."

"Duly noted." Bo's face softened. "She really is pretty incredible, isn't she?"

"She is. And Bo, you deserve incredible."

Tamsin stood outside Lauren's door trying to psych herself up. She would never admit to Bo home much she absolutely did not want to spend any time with her ex. She had actually grown to like Lauren. She was an obnoxious know-it-all sometimes, but she had repeatedly proven that her knowledge came in handy. And she would do anything for Bo, Tamsin knew that. But now that Tamsin and Bo were…whatever they were, Tamsin had an extra reason to dislike Lauren. Tamsin knew that Bo had loved Lauren, and maybe still did. For reasons that she didn't care to explore, this made Tamsin want to strangle the good doctor. She finally steeled herself and knocked.

It was several minutes before Lauren answered. Tamsin had almost turned and walked away when Lauren finally threw open the door.

"Tamsin?" She looked confused. "Sorry, I was running a test, I almost didn't even hear you knock."

"It's cool." She paused. "Can I come in?"

"Um," Lauren responded, "yes. Yes, of course, sorry. Come in." She stepped to the side, allowing Tamsin to enter. Tamsin gazed around the apartment coolly. She was pretty familiar with the place, having basically lived here when Lauren was MIA. But Lauren didn't need to know that. Lauren was clearly flustered by her presence, no doubt remembering their previous encounter. Tamsin, on the other hand, was doing everything in her power to NOT think about it.

"What can I help you with, Tamsin?" Lauren finally managed.

"Got some DNA from one of Erin's potential baby daddies. I was hoping you could compare it to her – off the books."

Lauren nodded. "That's easy enough. Do you have the sample?"

Tamsin handed her the small vial of Roberto's blood.

Lauren gave her a small smile. "Didn't want to just get a cheek swab?"

Tamsin shrugged. "This was more fun."

Lauren took the sample and started walking towards her lab bench. "Do you want to wait? I have Erin's sample analyzed already, it should only take me about half an hour to do this one."

Tamsin hesitated. Did she want to spend half an hour with Lauren? No. But leaving for half an hour seemed pointless. "Um, sure." She looked around awkwardly as Lauren inserted a syringe into the vial and grabbed the blood.

Lauren noticed her discomfort and gestured towards the couch. "Have a seat. Make yourself comfortable."

Tamsin sat on the couch and watched as Lauren took one drop of the blood and placed it on a glass slide. She took the rest and prepared it for a centrifuge.

"So, do I want to know how you tracked this guy down?"

Tamsin smirked. "Probably not." She paused for a moment. "How's the Incubus?"

Lauren glanced over at her. "He's ok. Thanks to you." She gave Tamsin a grateful smile. Tamsin shrugged, and Lauren continued. "But he still isn't responding to my treatments, which is strange. That's what I was working on when you got here."

"Why is he so different from Bo? Aren't they essentially the same type of Fae?"

"Well, that's what I thought. But when I compared them at the cellular level, his DNA shows signs of degradation. I don't understand what could have caused it, but it means that his cells are unstable. I use some of his genetic material to make an injection, but by the time I get it to him, his cells have changed and the injection does nothing."

"Where did he come from? Does he remember anything?"

Lauren looked down. "We think he's suppressing lot of memories. He has a lot of distinct memories of hurting people, but he can't connect them. He's probably had a pretty traumatic life. He's what Bo could have been if she hadn't found the Fae when she did."

Tamsin shook her head. "Bo. Erin. The Incubus. Seems like we need to do a better job keeping track of our own."

"People are always going to fall through the cracks. The best we can do is make sure we help them once we do find them." Lauren paused and looked over at Tamsin. "Tamsin…I wanted to apologize for the other day."

Tamsin held up her hand. "Nope. It's fine. I really don't want to talk about it."

Lauren nodded. "Sure. Of course." She paused again. "Can I ask you a question?"

Tamsin looked over at her. "Do I have a choice?"

Lauren smiled shyly and looked at the ground. "Are you and Bo…?"

Tamsin froze. "What?"

"No, no, it's ok. I'm not asking because I'm mad or upset. Biologically, Valkyrie and Succubae are an excellent match. You're newly reborn, so you're incredibly strong. You and Bo have always had some kind of connection. It would make a lot of sense."

Tamsin didn't know how to respond. She shook her head. "What do you want me to say?"

Lauren looked at her. "You don't have to say anything. I just…Tamsin, I did your medical work up immediately following your rebirth. I know what changed."

Tamsin looked at her sharply. "What are you talking about?"

"Does Bo know?"

Tamsin stood up. "You don't know what you're talking about. This is none of your business."

"Tamsin, please. I'm not your enemy. I'll do whatever I can to help you."

"There's nothing you can do to help. I don't need help. This has nothing to do with you."

"You know how she is, Tamsin. If she falls in love with you – "

Tamsin walked quickly to the door, furious. "Call me with the results." She left the apartment without another word, slamming the door behind her.

Inside the apartment, Lauren just sighed.
