Bo slammed her empty class angrily on the bar top, before storming out the back door. She breathed in the stale air lingering on the Dal's back alley. She dug out her phone. Tapped it a few times and waited for it to connect.
"Come on Kenz… Answer." Bo muttered, when all she heard was the dial tone. "Answer dammit!"
"Hey Bo." Kenzi finally picked up. "It's been a while."
"She's wearing a ring!" Bo wailed as soon as she heard her friend's voice.
"Oh?"
"What do you mean 'oh'?"
Kenzi rolled her eyes groaning. "I mean.. Who?" She corrected.
"Lauren." Bo said sounding suspicious. "You know something."
"It was just an 'Oh'." Kenzi stalled. "So what happened?" She asked innocently.
"I met Lauren at the Dal. She wanted to talked to me, but she was acting so.. unusual that I bolted."
"Unusual?"
"Her demeanor was very.. nervous. In a bad way. Very correct and friendly."
"And?"
"Her aura didn't spike a spark once!"
"Oh."
"Enough with the goddamn Oh's!" Bo snarled aggravated. "What's the hell is going on?" She wondered anxiously.
"You said you rushed out. Maybe you should have stayed to hear what she had to say. She obviously wanted to tell you something."
"But what if it's something I don't want to hear." Bo sighed.
"Then it is and you'll take it like a woman. A good woman, who cares for Lauren. You care about her don't you?"
"I love her."
"I know. I hope you love her enough to let her be happy. To let her go."
"With someone else."
"Yes."
"But.. It can't be Tamsin." Bo thought back to the Tamsin and Lauren in the bar. "I thought there was nothing but hate between them. But now Lauren's wearing a ring and spending time with Tamsin. Holding hands for god's sake!"
"You think Tamsin put a ring on Lauren?" Kenzi asked interested as Tamsin hadn't told her that little tidbit. And neither had Lauren. A ring, huh? They've really got it bad, Kenze thought smiling.
"They were working undercover." Bo spat. "As a married couple!"
"Oh." Kenzi let out again, but quickly apologized. "Sorry. And?"
"And I saw them at the Dal just now.. They were awfully cozy together with.. Flaming auras and.. Lauren has a ring on her finger." Bo swallowed closing her eyes.
"Does Tamsin?"
"I don't know. I didn't see." Bo grunted. "What if that someone else is.. really Tamsin?"
"Then it is." Kenzi said resolutely.
"I'll kill her. I won't let her use Lauren like that!" Bo snarled. "Rip her to pieces with my bare hands!"
"No you won't." Kenzi inserted calmly. "You have to understand that Lauren might.." love, Kenzi thought. ".. Like Tamsin. If so, she not going to let you hurt her."
"Like her?" Bo groaned deflating. "What then?"
"You'll be happy for the both of them." Kenzi said softly and Bo let out a sigh.
"It'll feel like a stab in the gut."
"It will heal." Kenzi said gently. "In time."

Tamsin's eyes were latched on the unknowing blond. Lauren was tinkering around her lab so concentrated, that she had yet to notice the Valkyrie standing by the door. Tamsin smiled remembering the last few days. She and Lauren had been basically living together now and all had gone surprisingly smoothly. No one had commented on their relationship. No one had looked at them the wrong way. And it had already been almost a week.
Only straining thing was that Bo still did not know. To their knowledge anyway. If Bo knew, she hadn't come barging in. Would she? When? Tamsin groaned, she just wanted to stop thinking about Bo and how she'd react. She wanted the elusive succubus to turn up so they could let her know. So that Tamsin could let her know that Lauren was hers.
Stop thinking about Bo. Think about that, Tamsin smirked as her eyes followed Lauren bending over to pick up her pen.
"Hey." The Valkyrie husked as she stepped in and strolled to Lauren.
"Jeez!" Lauren squealed and dropped her pen again. "You scared the bejesus out of me!" She scolded giving Tamsin a glare.
"Sorry." Tamsin said before captured Lauren's lips in a hot kiss.
Lauren moaned responding eagerly. "Hey." She finally murmured pulling away a little. "I thought you were on a case?"
"Hey." Tamsin gave Lauren another peck. "I am, but I had a moment and wanted to see you."
"Now you've seen me."
"I want a little more than just to see you." Tamsin grinned.
Lauren let out a satisfied sigh as she felt Tamsin's kissing her neck. The detective's hands were gently caressing her back.
"Kiss me." Lauren pleaded and Tamsin did.
Tamsin kissed Lauren passionately and finally slipped her tongue in the doctor's mouth, where it received an eager welcome. But when Tamsin's hands latched on Lauren's ass, the blond grabbed the valkyrie's arms.
"What?" Tamsin grumbled.
"This.. this is my work place. I'm sorry." Lauren exhaled out of breath. She didn't want to stop Tamsin. She wanted the woman to continue, but the risk of getting caught.. It was too high. "I like.. this, but there are people around. Too many people."
"Fine.. Your loss." Tamsin grumbled.
"I know." Lauren sighed running her hand through her hair. "I know. I'm going to be hot and bothered the whole day."
"That pleases me." Tamsin teased with twinkling eyes.
"Of course it does."
"Yup." Tamsin grinned until turning more serious. "So.. Have you heard from her?"
"Bo? No. Kenzi texted that Bo called her. Kenzi didn't tell her about us, but prompted us to hurry up." Lauren shrugged straightening her lab coat.
"If she'd be around."
"Maybe Bo sensed something the other night and that's why she left. Maybe I was different to her somehow. I don't know. Whatever it was.. She didn't look too happy."
"She was not happy?" Tamsin scoffed. "Does Bo really expect you to wait around for her to get her shit together? Not happy? I don't care."
"Me either really, but I hope she understands." Lauren agreed. "Are you coming home to dinner tonight? Or are you working late?"
"I get off work at six thirty."
"I'll see you at seven then? At my place.. Our place - At home." Lauren corrected smiling.
"Home." Tamsin repeated smiling. "I'll come pick you up from here, okay? We can go home together."
"That sounds great."
"Um.. What about.. I…"
"What is it?"
"We haven't talked about it, but.. Um, you're still wearing your ring." Tamsin cast her eyes down on Lauren's hand, before lifting them to meet the doctor's eyes.
"So are you."
"Yeah.. Um.. I.. kinda like it. Here." Tamsin touched the ring on her finger.
"Me too."
Tamsin swallowed nervously. "Uh.. Would you want to keep wearing it?" She blurted out the question that had been burning on her tongue ever since they came back home.
"I do."
"Really?" The valkyrie croaked out.
"They can be relationship rings?" Lauren said hesitantly.
"Sure. I'd like to keep wearing it too." Tamsin took Lauren's hand in hers. "But just so you know, I'd like to get married someday."
"Me too."
"But I want a proper proposal. I just chucked that ring on your lap, when we drove to the island. That wasn't it. Not it. This, now, wasn't it either! It must be.. A proper proposal." Tamsin finished. "I want a proper proposal. You know, someday."
"I can do that." Lauren shrugged nonchalantly, but her soft smile gave her away. She was anything but nonchalant. Her comment made Tamsin's smile stretch from ear to ear.
"Um.. So.." Tamsin stammered smiling. "I'll pick you up later?"
"I'll be here waiting."
"One more.. little kiss?"
"One more." Lauren promised and Tamsin lunged at the doctor locking their lips in a heated kiss. "Maybe two." Lauren murmured against Tamsin's mouth.
.
Lauren had been working extra hard for the rest of the day to quell the throbbing between her legs, but it was difficult to ignore. Tamsin had really did a number on her. She always did, Lauren smiled as she glanced at her wristwatch. The valkyrie should be here any second and Lauren was ready. Very ready.
Lauren lifted her eyes at the door, when she heard the faintest noise. When Tamsin appeared, she sighed happily. "You're here."
"Finally.. I haven't seen you in hours." Tamsin complained stomping to Lauren.
"Getting addicted are we?" Lauren teased giving the Valkyrie a peck on the lips.
"Totally hooked." Tamsin roamed her eyes over Lauren, who was wearing a lab coat. "So.. You look.. sexy."
"In this thing?" Lauren tugged at her buttoned up coat.
"That's the one."
Lauren sauntered closer. "You should see what's underneath." She whispered.
"Oh?" Tamsin gulped her interest peaking.
"Uh-huh." Lauren murmured.
"Is it a skirt and a top?" Tamsin joked huskily, but waited for something more interesting based on Lauren's tone. "Show me."
"Are you sure?" Lauren cooed stepping back.
"It better not be a woolly cardigan or.." Tamsin said, but trailed off when Lauren dropped her coat in a puddle on the floor.
"Nothing." Lauren said standing naked in front of the Valkyrie. "See?"
"I see." Tamsin swallowed while her eyes darkened.
"I've been waiting for you." Lauren molded her body against Tamsin's. "Touch me."
"What happened to 'this is my workplace'?" Tamsin asked huskily, while roaming her hands over Lauren's warm naked skin.
"It's after hours. Nobody's around in this wing. The doors are locked. Only few people.. including you, have the key." Lauren husked poking Tamsin towards the back room. "Lose the clothes."
Tamsin walked into the room noticing the candles. "Doctor Lewis this is a terrible fire hazard." She berated sternly.
"I love the fire remember." Lauren grinned.
"I remember. They are beautiful." Tamsin admitted sitting on the small bed and pulling Lauren to sit on her lap.
Lauren straddled the Valkyrie, before pushing her flat on her back. "So are you." She whispered.
.
Bo waited impatiently as Dyson opened the locked door to the clinic.
"It's late. Why the hell are we here?" Dyson asked sounding irritated as he trailed after Bo. "And why am I here?"
"You have the key. I don't."
"I don't like this." Dyson stated. "We don't belong here."
"I need to talk to Lauren and she wasn't at home."
"So?"
"So, she's here." Bo motioned towards Lauren's lab.
"She's not. The whole wing is dark! You could have called her."
"I did. She didn't answer. Probably lost in work again. I need to tell her, that only friendship is.. okay." Bo said pleasantly as she yanked open the door to Lauren's lab. "For now anyway." She added to herself.
"The lights are off. Nobody is here." Dyson whispered trying to yank Bo to the hall, but the succubus pull her arm free.
"Is too. See the computer is.." Bo trailed off hearing something.
Soft moans, rustling and heavy breathing where coming from the dimly lit back room.
"Oh crap.." Dyson sighed. "Well, she's lost in something alright." He commented dryly, but when he noticed the shell shocked expression on Bo's face, he felt a bit sorry for the succubus.. even if on some level he was glad Bo got to taste her own medicine for once.
"Is.. Is she with someone?"
"Um.. Like I said.. You should have called first and waited for her to answer." Dyson quickly said trying to get Bo out. "Come on, let's go."
"No."
"A friend would."
"I'm not going anywhere." Bo hissed, but fell quiet, when she heard Lauren talk.
"I think I heard something." The doctor said breathily making both Bo and Dyson freeze on their spots.
"Shit." Dyson grunted.
