Bo
Bo had left Lauren in bed to rest. She was tired and it showed. Bo insisted that she actually sleep this time. No working. No calls. Nothing. Once Lauren agreed, Bo kissed her good-bye and left their house. Bo was touched Lauren asked her to move in. She only wanted Lauren to live and work comfortably. She was content with things as they were, but now she was ecstatic. Lauren is hers and she is Lauren's.
Which brought her to shower and get on her merry way about handling some much needed business. She gently pulled out of the driveway trying to keep the car motor from waking Lauren up. Two miles down the road, she thought it was safe enough to turn on some music. It was nice enough to drop the top on her car and she loved it. It was also nice enough that there shouldn't have been any problems finishing Lauren's lab. That came first over everything besides Lauren herself.
Trick still had his orders too. She hadn't forgotten that he was officially Lauren's driver. Since she wouldn't be needing him today, that left him with time on his hands. Time to test the hair and make sure Rainer is really dead. Bo didn't want the Blood King's shit to come back and bite Lauren in the ass or worse. Her eyes turned blue at the thought.
No harm would ever come to Lauren, that the Doctor wouldn't inflict on herself. Such as accidentally cutting herself with a knife. That gave Bo an idea and something she needed to talk with Aife about. But for now the construction site.
Kenzi
Kenzi found a rock to sit on. She was sure they had worked all through the night and it showed. The building was finally finished. She used her pinky to count four floors. She pulled her shoe off long enough to massage her foot, and did the same with the other.
Her ears perked up when she heard a car approaching. She sighed in relief to see that it was Bo. She jumped up and walked over to the Succubus as she climbed out of her car.
Bo put her hand up to stop Kenzi from coming any closer. She walked around the building looking it up and down. To her naked eye it looked finished but she wanted to be sure.
"Test it". Bo said softly.
Kenzi looked confused but jumped again when she saw a giant of a man walk over and push on the building.
Bo smiled when his little test passed her inspection.
"Come here". Bo said.
The man walked over to the Succubus and waited.
"Take these. Get everything on the list and extras for the smaller items. Call me when you have finished". Bo said.
"Yes ma'am". The man said as he rushed back to his truck.
"Was that? Kenzi asked watching him go.
"Do not concern yourself with him. You have your own work to do". Bo said waving for another truck to pull up.
"What's that? Kenzi asked.
"You and Dyson are going to paint the outside of the building, while elevators and stairs are installed inside. Once they are done, you will paint the insides as well". Bo answered never looking at Kenzi.
"Bo you can't be serious! Kenzi groaned.
"Considering your status as my claimed human, you must do everything that I ask, or take your ass back to the human world". Bo replied as she looked over to Dyson and Vex. The men had already grabbed the paint supplies and were ready to start painting.
"Bo this is me, Kenzi". Kenzi said walking closer to the Succubus.
"I haven't forgotten who you are. Either do as I ask or leave. Because I guarantee you will not be missed". Bo said softly.
"What has she done to you?! Kenzi asked looking Bo up and down. The Succubus looked better. Like they had..she gagged at the thought.
"You will address her as Doctor Lewis and nothing else! Bo snapped.
"Fine what has Dr. Lewis done to you? Kenzi snapped.
"None of your business. I just wanted to make you put some respect on her name". Bo laughed sadistically.
"Bo! Kenzi screamed.
"You have two seconds to get to work! Bo said flatly.
"So this is it huh? This is us now? Kenzi asked.
"One second". Bo replied as she pointed towards the building.
Kenzi shook her head and ran over to Dyson and Vex.
Bo smiled when she saw the other equipment with harnesses had arrived for them to immediately start painting. Vex strapped Kenzi and Dyson on their harnesses and the wolf started to paint on one side of the building while Kenzi worked on another.
"Hello". Bo said answering her phone
"Isabeau I understand you have plans for Trick, and Lauren. But understand I have plans to kill him as soon as I get my hands around his scrawny ass neck! Aife snapped into the phone.
"What did he do? Bo asked as she walked towards her car.
"I have it on good authority he was involved with your great-grandmother's death. I am on my way to confront him at the Dal". Aife answered.
"What?! Bo asked.
"Sasha was given a robe that was found in the Dark Fae compound. It had blood all over it. Queen Aife was engraved on the inside and there was a note in the pocket written in Trick's handwriting". Aife explained.
"Wait, you lost me. Queen Aife? Bo asked in confusion.
"I was named after her. I didn't know that until now. But that's not going to soften my anger about it. If you want him alive, you better get to the Dal, my Succubus is about to surface and she's a real bitch". Aife laughed sadistically.
"I am on my way! Bo said as she violently pulled off.
"Excellent". Aife smirked as her eyes turned blue.
Trick and Tamsin
Tamsin was laughing at how neat Trick was stacking the bricks. It was silly really. The place had been destroyed. His lair probably looks like a storm shelter with bricks, and beams strewn down the staircase.
"Are you going to help me or not? Trick asked turning back to the Valkyrie.
"Why don't you try digging around your lair and not the entire bar area. This is useless". Tamsin said.
"Because I plan on rebuilding and I'm trying to save what I can". Trick answered.
"Beams, bricks, and tables. There's no saving those". Tamsin said looking at the rubble.
"Nonsense. Bricks can always be used". Aife laughed as she began throwing brick after brick at Trick. She laughed harder when one hit him right between the eyes.
"Aife! Stop! Trick screamed.
"You should be dead right now. The problem is my daughter has plans for you too". Aife seethed. Bo needed to get there and soon. It was taking all that she had to not kill him. Twist his neck, and drain him at the same time.
Bo pulled up and they all heard her door slam. The young Succubus walked over and immediately stood next to Aife.
"Did you do it? Bo asked.
"I haven't gotten to that part yet. I was having too much fun playing pin the brick on the donkey's ass". Aife seethed.
"Get over here Trick. Now". Bo said seriously.
Trick swallowed and walked across the mess to his granddaughter.
"What's going on? Trick asked softly looking into Bo's eyes.
"You don't ask the questions. We do". Bo said.
"Then ask one, dumbass". Tamsin laughed. The Valkyrie moved away when Aife and Bo's eyes turned blue, flashing in her direction.
"You can leave whenever you want". Bo seethed in Tamsin's direction.
"Nah. I like it here. Free beer". Tamsin laughed slamming one.
Aife jumped over and slapped the bottle out of Tamsin's hand. "Nothing here is free. Not to you. Either pay me in cash or pay with one of your many pathetic lives".
"I don't have any money". Tamsin said.
"Then I guess it will be your ass". Aife said as she ran a finger over Tamsin's face.
The Valkyrie shuddered at her touch. She had never felt anything like that before and she had battled the woman once before. She dropped the bottle and left Trick alone to deal with the women.
"If you ever come back, I will be collecting my payment". Aife laughed.
"Mom. Focus". Bo said.
"Old bitch has two lives before she dies for good. I will be cashing one of those in someday, but for now, the Blood Thing". Aife laughed as she moved back over to Trick.
"Bo don't listen to her. Listen to me, and tell me what's going on? Trick said softly.
"I have listened to her. She said you killed Queen Aife. We both figured out who that is". Bo said coldly.
Trick shook his head as he looked at the floor. He'd hoped this wouldn't have been uncovered. It was his own fault.
"Explain! Aife snapped pulling at his tie.
Trick sighed. "Isabeau was a very young Fae when we fell in love. I wanted to be King to bring order to the Fae world. But she was too young, and Queen Aife was still alive. I had to have her taken care of, to die so Isabeau would be next in line. I had to marry her before she fell for and married someone else. Otherwise I would have only been a prince. Nobody respects a Prince like they would a King. I had to do it". Trick explained.
"Now explain this! Aife said pulling the note out of the robe's pocket.
"Isabeau was supposed to wear this robe when we married. But we couldn't find it in time for our wedding day. So she wore something else". Trick answered.
"There's something else". Bo growled as she stepped closer to Trick.
"Talk! Aife said slapping Trick. The force sent waves of pulses into his body.
"Years later I found out that Evony had it. She was aiming to become The Morrigan. In doing so, she needed one more vote. Mine. I told her she could keep the robe as long as she never revealed I was Fitzpatrick McCorrigan and to keep Queen Aife's murderer a secret". Trick sighed.
"He has to die! Aife snapped as she picked him up. Trick pleaded with her to put him down, but she only threw him into a pile of bricks.
"Mom you know what this means". Bo said quietly.
"It means that he must die Isabeau! Aife screamed.
"It also means Grandmother was the true royal. When she died, that made you the Queen". Bo explained.
"Shit! I've been so angry I missed that! Aife smiled as she stalked Trick.
"It also means we have a problem, since I have taken the lead as Fae". Bo said quietly.
"Oh no sweets. I won't take that from you, I don't need the throne. You can stay in control of the Fae. Besides it's funner this way. I won't be tied down to centuries old Fae bylaws and other bullshit, like they would expect me to be as Queen". Aife smiled at Bo.
"I won't take the throne for now either. There is still so much to be done and corrected. That could be years from now, and right now my focus is totally on Lauren". Bo said looking around at the mess.
Bo smiled when she felt her phone starting to ring. "Do I need to come home and put you to sleep Dr. Lewis? Bo laughed.
"I slept a few hours. In fact I just passed 8 hours of it". Lauren replied.
"Ok. Have you eaten yet? Bo asked.
"Not yet. I haven't even showered yet". Lauren said as she stretched out.
"Then shower and we can go out to eat". Bo said biting her lip.
"Ok. Give me twenty". Lauren said looking around their bedroom. She hadn't even looked outside to see what the weather was like yet.
"Ok". Bo cooed as she hung up.
She looked at Trick. He hadn't climbed out of the mess of bricks yet.
"Bring him to me. We are going out and I don't want my boots dirty". Bo said.
Aife nodded and dragged the man over to the Succubus.
"Stand here...oh and there's this". Bo said cupping Trick's ears.
"What was that about? Aife laughed.
"Come with me". Bo said as they walked far away from Trick.
"What's up. It better be better than me kicking his ass". Aife laughed.
"No I will leave you to do whatever you want to with him. We can test Rainer's shit ourselves. But I do have something kind of personal to ask you". Bo said.
"Ok. I'm all ears". Aife said.
"You know how to thrall people for a long amount of time right? Bo asked.
"Yes of course". Aife laughed.
"Then can you tell me how to...". Bo sighed in nervousness.
"Isabeau I'm not a mind reader". Aife laughed.
"I want to know if Succubi can mate with someone? Bo blushed.
"You want to mate with Lauren? Aife smiled wide.
"I do. But I need to know how I do that, and before I accidentally do it without her permission". Bo said.
"I have never heard of it being done with a woman. But I do have some things you could try with her. I can't guarantee that they will work, but given who your father is, anything is possible with your particular Succubus". Aife explained as she pulled something out of her pocket.
Bo watched as the Succubus scribbled something in a small notebook. When she was done, she nodded and handed the note to Bo.
Bo looked wide-eyed at her mother. "This?
"Sorry I can't say those things outloud to you". Aife laughed.
"But this might make us mates right? Bo gasped, and blushed.
"You need to ask her first. She's been shitted on and kicked around by the Fae for years. But those moves, should work. But understand once it's done, it can't be undone. It's like a fae marriage and you both need to consent to it. Don't be like Dyson and his mate for life shit, when you didn't mate with him, or asked him to do it". Aife laughed at the thought.
"How will I know when..if it worked? Bo asked.
"Confident are you? Aife laughed.
"Mom". Bo blushed.
"She will look different. She will be able to feed you and her Chi will taste different, as well as other parts of her". Aife laughed.
"Shit". Bo blushed.
"You better get going. You have ten minutes to get home". Aife laughed.
"Thanks mom. Do with him what you will". Bo said. She walked over and removed her thrall from Trick, and rushed off.
Bo cringed when she heard a noise. She looked back and saw Aife had run over Trick with her car and kept running him over until she jumped out and grabbed his mangled body. She threw him into her backset and took off ahead of Bo.
Bo's hands were sweaty as she gripped the steering wheel. She was panting in nervousness, and almost missed her last turn. Breathe Succubus breathe, she mumbled as she pulled up. Lauren was just coming outside and Bo could swear she looked like an angel in her white top and blonde tresses blowing in the light wind.
"Good afternoon Dr. Lewis". Bo smiled as she jumped out to open the passenger door for Lauren.
"Good afternoon Bo". Lauren smiled as she took her seat.
"What do you want to eat? Bo asked.
"I'm starving so any and everything". Lauren smiled putting her sunglasses on.
"Are you sure you're ok after last night? Bo asked.
"I'm good. I just drank a sports drink before you got here". Lauren said patting Bo's hand.
"Meats. Potatos. Vegetables". Bo said biting her lip.
"Ahhh exactly". Lauren said as they pulled out into the street.
They laughed and held hands throughout the drive. Bo was still nervous and was trying not to show it.
She spotted a popular steak house and pulled into the parking lot. She ran around and opened the door for Lauren and helped her out of the car. Not because she wanted the lunch to go well, but because she knew she loved the woman. More than anyone. A human that survived in the Fae world. A beautiful human at that, and Bo didn't care at all. Nothing was human about the things Lauren does, did and could do to her.
"Order whatever you want". Bo smiled after they were seated.
Lauren smiled pulling her sunglasses on top of her head. Bo gasped at the sight.
The woman was told to order what she wanted and she did, and then some. Bo wasn't shocked or turned off by it. She used to think Lauren never ate since she was always in her lab. Bo excused herself leaving Lauren at the table alone.
"Can I help you ma'am? A waiter asked.
"I need something you don't have here. If you can get it for me, and put it in my car, there's a big tip in it for you". Bo said. Bo passed him a note and he nodded in response.
"Are we ready for dessert? Bo cooed as she joined Lauren again.
"Ohhhh I don't think I can". Lauren smiled.
"But I want some". Bo pouted and winked.
"Ok. Ok". Lauren smiled as she waved for Bo to pick a dessert for herself. The Doctor couldn't eat another bite. She had a salad, steak, baked potato and soup.
The waiter brought Bo's dessert, and winked at her when Lauren wasn't looking.
"Well I'm stuffed now". Bo smiled wiping her mouth with a napkin.
Lauren smiled and finished her drink before standing after Bo pulled her chair out. The Succubus handed the waiter their check and a huge amount of cash.
They walked out to the car and Bo opened the door for Lauren again.
"Here". Bo said.
"Bo? Lauren smiled.
"You said sports drinks were good for you after last night. So I had the waiter go out and grab some. Top that off with the amount of wine you just consumed, I wanted you to have these". Bo smiled.
Lauren smiled and leaned over to kiss Bo. She pulled back and smiled again pushing Bo's hair out of her face.
They were off and driving again before Bo suggested they pull over to talk since it was a nice day and she really didn't have anywhere to be. She trusted Aife would handle Trick. Even if she killed him, Rainer's hair samples would still be secured and she would find another Doctor to test them. Unless Aife let him live, then he would be doing that as she instructed and return as Lauren's official driver.
Bo pulled over and helped Lauren out of the car again.
They walked down a long trail as little kids ran around the park. When they reached a bench, Bo suggested that they sit.
Lauren smiled as Bo helped her ease down on to it. The women stretched out with Lauren in Bo's arms. They laughed at the kids playing.
"Bo. I know there is more to this since we could have gone home". Lauren said quietly.
"Ahh you know me so well already". Bo smiled.
"So talk Succubus". Lauren said sitting up.
Bo took some much needed deep breaths.
"It will be ok Bo". Lauren said patting Bo's shaking hands.
"I love you Lauren. It grows at an insane speed just about every day. Even when I'm away from you...". Bo trailed off and took another breath as Lauren held her hands.
"I talked to mom about this today. I just want to get this right, before I screw it up...". Bo said panting.
"Bo. Just say it or ask me". Lauren said now holding Bo's head in her hands.
Bo looked at Lauren and tears were burning her eyes. She knew she had just fallen for Lauren again, and she hadn't even asked her yet.
Licking her lips, she closed her eyes as tears fell, and she smiled when Lauren dried them with her thumbs.
"Will you mate with me Lauren? Bo asked opening her eyes again.
"What?! What did you say? Lauren asked as her mouth suddenly went dry.
"I want to mate with you. Mom doesn't think it's possible for regular Succubi, but with my lineage it's possible". Bo said as tears finally fell.
"I'm not sure that's possible either". Lauren said as she searched her head for answers. She had studied Succubi before but never up close until Bo and never to that extent.
"Lauren? Bo said as the Doctor looked everywhere but at her.
"I'm sorry I was thinking". Lauren said returning her eyes to Bo.
"I want this Lauren. I want you forever. I just found you and I can't lose you. I can't. I love you, and I think...I think she does too". Bo cried again.
Lauren licked her lips. This was all new to her. An emotional loving Fae. A Fae that loved her enough to ask her to mate with her, and not just do it without her consent. She was asking her. The woman she loved was asking her.
"Yes. Yes I will mate with you". Lauren said as her own tears fell.
"Are you sure Lauren? I didn't want to do it without asking your permission". Bo cried again.
"I'm sure". Lauren smiled as she leaned in to kiss Bo. They only stopped when they heard children giggling.
Bo blushed and pulled Lauren up so they could head to the car.
They were down the street when Lauren spoke. "So how soon do you want to do this?
"Is tonight too soon? Bo asked.
"Bo it's almost six. It's almost night sweetie". Lauren smiled.
"Shit! Sorry Lauren. I didn't realize it was that late already. You probably need dinner now". Bo said.
"I will have my dinner very soon". Lauren said as she winked at Bo.
"Are you sure you are ready for this Doctor? Really sure, and ready? Bo asked.
"I am, but I don't think you are Succubus". Lauren said trailing her hand down Bo's jeans.
Bo jerked, her eyes flashed blue and she sped up.
