Prophecy of Power
Chapter 35
Bo/Lauren
Bo led the blonde down the stairs into Tricks study by her hand. The brunette felt herself get calmer and calmer, with each second that passes. Bo still marvelled at the doctors ability to make her feel at ease and grounded. Lauren had always had a way of bringing a sense of order amongst all of her chaos and this time was no different. Though the succubus could also feels that Lauren was not as calm and relaxed as she was. Hoping to rectify that, Bo spins around wrapping her arms around the blonde, wanting to get the doctor out of her head and quite possibly out of her clothes again. The brunette claims Lauren's lips in a heated kiss, pulling her body closer. The blonde breaks the kiss after a moment, knowing that this is Bo's way of avoiding talking about the issues at hand. "Nice try Bo," Lauren exclaims, at the intense looking succubus in front of her, she takes a step away making it easier to think and form coherent thoughts.
The succubus raises her eyebrows in an expression of innocence, before responding to Lauren's comment. "What? I wasn't trying anything, get your mind out of the gutter, doctor," Bo watches, the blonde laugh quietly at the succubus' deflection.
"So you aren't trying to seduce me, so that we won't talk about what happened up there with Aoife, just now?" Bo sighs, knowing that the look on her girlfriends face meant that it wasn't going to happen the way she was imagining in her head moments ago.
"Fine you win! We will do the talking thing, but it won't be anywhere near as fun as the plans that were forming in my mind just now," the succubus says, leaning in and giving her lover another quick kiss on her luscious lips, before turning away from Lauren and taking a seat on the couch. The blonde follows and sits next to Bo, avoiding touching the alluring brunette, as her own body begins to betray her, wanting very much to make love to the succubus right here on this slightly uncomfortable antique settee. Bo watches as Lauren's aura flares brightly and chuckles at the doctors neutral expression, which is in complete contrast to the message that her aura is spelling out for the aroused succubus. "Lauren, you are not making it easy for me, your aura is glowing brighter than the sun, right now." Bo sits on her hands stopping the urge to reach out to the irresistible woman sitting beside her.
"Sorry," the blonde says, blushing in embarrassment at her own lack of control when it comes to the succubus and the things she wants to do with her. "See, I told you, it isn't just you that struggles with this bond, Bo. My aura will always betray the way I'm feeling, even if it doesn't show outwardly." The doctor reaches forward, cupping the brunette's cheek, "Never doubt the way I feel about you Bo. I need my mental barriers and my neutrality to deal with the fae I encounter day in and day out, but I can never hide from you, remember that. But you can't protect me from everyone Bo, are you going to attack everyone that insults me because of my humanity and my status with the fae world. Aoife is goading you on purpose, I can handle whatever she has to say about me, I've heard it all before Bo. Try not to let her get to you, that is what she wants. Besides I'm not entirely helpless now, I could hurt her if I really wanted to, so as much as I love your protectiveness, you need to ignore it. The more she sees it getting to you the more she will do it."
"I know you're right, but I can't help it, it makes me so angry. It's not just her, I hate the way my kind treats humans. I obviously won't go around attacking every fae that looks at you the wrong way or says something insulting, but this is my mum. She thinks I'm weak Lauren, because of my feelings for you, for humanity. She makes it so hard, I want to bond with the woman, but she disregards our connection, our love. And I know she has been through a lot and it has affected her mind, but Jesus, she is just so frustratingly horrible."
They are interrupted by Shani coming down the stairs, "Sorry guys, Trick asked me to grab a couple of books for him. I will try to be quick."
"It's fine Shani, but why didn't Trick come down, surely he would know where they are, more than you would," Bo asks.
The sprite laughs, eyes glittering playfully, "I think he was afraid of walking in on something."
"Oh," Bo responds, a blush heating her face at the thought of her grandfather walking in on her and Lauren. "How is my mum?" Shani looks in Bo's direction for a moment seeing the concern on her face before resuming her search for the book titles on the list. Lauren gets up to help the fae search, taking the piece of paper from her and finding one of the titles straight away.
"I've read it several times before," the doctor says, at Shani's look of amusement at the speed in which Lauren had found the book. "I'll find em, I recognise all of the titles," the blonde says, motioning Shani in the direction of the couch. The sprite sits next to Bo, eyes more serious than the succubus had ever seen them.
"You certainly did a number on her face Bo, I allowed her to feed a little to heal her injuries. I think she, respects you a little more if that means much. She is broken Bo, she told me that she didn't want to give you up, but it was for your own safety. I think she is trying to provoke and hurt you, because you make her question the decision she made to abandon you. But the hatred burns deep in her Bo, she wants to bring down the establishment, and I think she was hoping you would just fall into her arms and help her, no questions asked. She wasn't expecting the compassionate and caring woman, that she was confronted with. I think she was hoping to turn you against Lauren, so that she could gain some control over you."
"Yeah well that's not going to happen, the sooner she realises that the better," Bo says, in frustration. Lauren comes over with a pile of books heaped in her arms.
"Here you go, Shani. Let Trick know that we will be up shortly."
"No problems, thanks Lauren," the sprite responds, getting up from her position on the couch and taking the books from the blonde and making her way back upstairs.
"Bo, are you alright?" Lauren sits next to a frowning succubus, curling her arm around the brunette's shoulders, wanting to comfort her.
"Yeah I think so, I want to get to know her, Lauren. I have been wishing to find her, since I found out I was fae. But what was she protecting me from, or who, my father? Is my father, the dark king that held her captive for hundreds of years, was I the product of violence and torture. Is that why she abandoned me, because I would be a reminder of what happened to her?" Bo shivers at the thought, of how she may have been conceived.
"Only your mum can answer those questions, Bo. Lets try to get her well first, before you try to broach the subject of who your father is, Okay?" The succubus just nods in response feeling tired and sad all of a sudden, as she leans into the blonde, needing the comfort that Lauren always offers. "Are you ready to go back up?" the doctors asks, kissing the side of Bo's head.
"Could you just hold me for a bit longer?" the succubus asks, snuggling into the blonde a little more.
"Of course," Lauren responds, her heart aching for the now despondent and vulnerable succubus.
