Isabeau
The woman was on her back with her head in the palm of her hands. She smiled at the peace and quiet. Lauren had showered and retired to bed. Isabeau stayed downstairs. All she could do, all that she wanted to do is think of Lauren. If she was getting enough rest. If she was happy with her. If she was happy at all.
She sighed at her next thought. Lauren had stayed with the Dark. Rainer was Bo's Nadia. If Lauren found a way to get to him, she would have freed Bo from the Dark. She never told her about Nadia, but just as quick as Bo jumped to free Lauren, Lauren jumped just as quickly when the opportunity presented itself, and it did, right in Evony's office. Evony was the Ash, and Rainer was Nadia.
As much as Bo huffed and puffed about wanting to be free, her Succubus did not care. So, what if she's Dark, Lauren would still be in her life. She would be able to see her whenever she wanted. It was no different than Bo pouncing on Light Fae Dyson after being told they were forbidden.
The Succubus forbade Dyson too. She loathed everything about that bully. His aura around Lauren. His hatred of her. His arrogance. She thought of that day at the Dal after he and Bo had slept together. He was beaming realizing that he had slept with Bo when she was with Lauren. He would be her healer during her relationship. The woman rolled her eyes. She did not need a wolf healer. She wants a true healer. A doctor.
When Bo was on the run, her Succubus sent human after human to hospitals or morgues. When she met Lauren all of that stopped. When she walked up to the blonde and sent a pulse into her, she knew she could stop running. Stop being constantly paranoid that she was not good enough for anyone to love. Lauren's eyes held it all. Long before they ever touched.
She sighed thinking of the bullshit Lauren endured up to this point. They could have left together a long time ago. Right after the Succubus had killed the Lich. After the Garuda killed the Ash and Bo killed him. They could have been living like they are right now. Away from the drama. Together. She tidied up the room and headed upstairs. She was quiet on the stairs and took an even quieter shower. She settled into bed and closed her eyes. She did not need much sleep, but the doctor might star in her dreams.
Lauren
The Doctor had wondered how long the Succubus was going to stay downstairs. She was not going to pounce on her or guilt into sleeping with her. That was reserved for other people in Bo's life. She sure as hell was not going to use their bond as a reason why it needed to happen right now.
Lauren thought of all the women that had come through her lab over the years. How beautiful they were. A few even asked her out on dates, but she would never date a patient. Until Bo entered their lives. The brunette tried to hide it, but her blue eyes showed up during her exam. So, it was not hard with her first kill and that tint to determine she is a Succubus. From all that Lauren had studied up until then, a Succubus rarely settled with just one lover. It was not in her nature to do so.
But Bo was not an ordinary Succubus at all. Not by a long shot. That was never more evident than when she drained the Lich and his entourage Then spoke to Lauren and collapsed. The Doctor knew the brunette was still alive. Her stomach was still going up and down. Then to Lauren's further amazement, she pushed life back into a few of them. The ones that wanted to come back. Others wanted to die and be free of centuries of enslavement. Lauren felt for them. She had only known that dreaded feeling for far too long. The Lich was far worse than the Ash had ever been, but servitude was servitude.
But the Doctor felt free now. She felt stronger. No longer needing to look over her shoulder. Bowing at anyone's command. Helping Fae that spat at her for touching them in the first place. Now they were on their own. Having to heal on their own. Find whatever ails them, on their own. The Doctor was out, and she is going to stay that way for some time to come.
She turned over under the warm sheets and blankets. The house was quiet. Something she was not used to yet. No alarms. Not a single ticking clock to remind her she had somewhere to be the next day. She does not. Her plan is asleep in the next room. Something Isabeau had come to do when Lauren went to bed first. She did not to disturb her. Something Lauren herself was doing for the Succubus right now.
"We need to get out of each other's thoughts if we are ever going to sleep tonight". Isabeau cooed from the door.
"I kept you up". Lauren blushed.
"I wasn't sleeping yet, and neither were you". The Succubus spoke softly as she walked over to a chair and pulled it close to the bed.
"I'm sorry". Lauren spoke quietly.
"Don't apologize to me Lauren. Just go to sleep". Isabeau made herself comfortable in the chair.
"You don't have to sleep there". Lauren cringed at how uncomfortable sleeping in that chair would be.
"Ok". Isabeau stood and climbed into the bed. She felt Lauren's warmth instantaneously.
Lauren smiled and settled into bed. This was going to be a long night but a good one for the first time in a long time.
"Sleep doctor". Isabeau ordered softly.
The next thing The Succubus knew, she was curled up in Lauren's arms and the Doctor had a tight but gentle grip on her. The blonde and brunette dozed in and out of sleep. This the best body pillow Isabeau could ever think of. If it were possible, she would probably sink into Lauren's body and never want to come out. She let out a breath and Lauren adjusted her arms around her.
"I'm not going anywhere". The succubus whispered.
"Neither am I". Lauren squeezed her in response.
Isabeau smiled when Lauren started to snore, she had finally fallen asleep. If it was only that easy for the Succubus to do so. This was the life she had wanted for such a long time. It was scaring her that it was finally a reality. Someone that cares for her and is not afraid at all.
"I can think of ways to put you to sleep". Lauren whispered.
Isabeau violently blushed at the thought.
"That's what I thought". Lauren turned over and the Succubus was now face to face with Lauren's chest.
"My eyes are up here". Lauren laughed.
"Lauren…Lauren I…". Isabeau started when she was pulled into a kiss. It was long, wet, slow, and warm. She pinned Lauren under her and took control of the kiss. She felt her shirt being yanked on and broke it. "Lauren? Are you sure? We don't have to".
Lauren was panting hard. It was the fiercest kiss she had ever shared with anyone. "I'm sure. I'm really, really sure".
Isabeau held her mouth open in shock but closed it once Lauren pulled her back to her.
The doctor's hands were warm as she pushed the shirt up and over the woman's head. Isabeau blushed when it was pulled off, she was naked now. Completely.
Lauren broke the kiss and traced the woman's face down to her neck and sucked on it. The Succubus moaned and slammed her eyes shut. Lauren was pinching her nipples every time her tongue contacted skin.
She pushed them up and she was face to face with the Succubus breasts now in the Doctor's face. She looked up into blue eyes and smiled. She kept eye contact as she took a nipple into her mouth. Those blue eyes glistened like crystal as she gently bit it.
She smiled as she made her next move. She ghosted her fingers down the Succubus legs and entered her. She watched the woman bite her lip and hold a scream. She was already warm against Lauren's fingers. The Doctor increased her pace and climbed on her when the Succubus fell backwards. She licked her fingers in front of her and entered with both hands as she kept her eyes locked on Isabeau's. She licked her way up her body and paid much attention to both breasts as she increased her pace. Isabeau grabbed Lauren's head and held it in place as her tongue circled her nipple. She let go as she screamed. Lauren moved down her body and settled between her legs. She looked at her again as she flicked her tongue over her pounding fingers.
"Mmm". The Doctor moaned when juices flowed down her fingers and into her mouth.
"Lauren! Isabeau panted as she struggled to hold another scream in. She flinched when she came hard. She watched as the Doctor put every finger in her mouth and popped her lips. She flattened her palms against Isabeau's legs as she licked up the remaining juices.
Isabeau was panting. She was flinching in places she did not know she had before. Lauren pulled her up and out of the bed. She helped her to the bathroom, and they jumped in the shower.
"Lauren…..". Isabeau panted.
"It's okay. I will wash you". The Doctor laughed as she lathered the woman up and rinsed her off. She washed herself while Isabeau watched in enjoyment.
When she could not take it anymore. She gently pushed Lauren against the wall and kissed every spot she could find on the doctor. She made her way down to her knees and stayed there. She looked up at Lauren and found her looking down at her. She leaned in and took a long lick. She pulled back and rolled her tongue around in her mouth. She had missed that taste. She had missed Lauren.
She was pulled back and lapped at Lauren for hours before they both finally tired of the water. Isabeau carried Lauren to bed and they slept as they were.
Kenzi
Kenzi threw an empty bottle across the room. She had been alone for hours and did not like it. Dyson was gone to Evony and Hale…well shit she was not sure where Hale was. Probably being a dick and not helping her get her best friends back. Bo. Dyson. They were both gone. Out of her life in a flash.
On one hand, she could blame Lauren. Years ago, that was her go to defense when something bad happened with Bo. But on the other hand, Bo has wanted Lauren back for a while. She might not be as miserable as Kenzi thinks she is.
What a clusterfuck. Trick is dead. Bo is gone. Dyson is gone. She has nobody to talk to. Nobody to hang with. Her liquor was gone, and she did not have money to buy more. She could work a case, but Bo's powers always helped. She has no choice, she has to try and track the Siren down. He is the only Fae left in her world.
Dyson
The wolf growled in agony. Evony was not Bo. Not even close to being Bo. But here he was mated to her. He started to wonder if their bond was legal. Evony is Dark, and he is Light. But considering how He and Bo easily broke that law, him ratting the Morrigan out would not fly with many Fae.
He felt bad for the young ones. They were cursed to be mated with the Morrigan too. He thought about Aife and Bo. Descendants of the Blood King. If anyone could break the curse, they could. But they will not. Bo could not care less about the Morrigan's problems. Aife would only point and laugh.
They were all doomed to the Morrigan. She did not look happy about it either.
Evony
If she could do it, the woman would kick the back of her own ass. All of this was her fault. She thought mocking Bo back then about Lauren and Nadia would never come back to haunt her. But she knew the thought and news of Lauren having a girlfriend would hurt Bo, and it did. It was delicious the way the Succubus stormed out of her building ready to confront the Doctor. Since Lauren was Light Fae that gave her some protection against anything violent that Bo would try to do. Then Kenzi told her about Bo's multiple chi suck and she thought she could use that to her advantage too. Especially once they learned Bo had been Dark Fae all along. Then she had her Doctor in her clutches. She could destroy the Light Fae without leaving her office seat with a powerful Succubus like that under her thumb.
But now the Morrigan was under Aife's thumb. That damn Tshombe was loyal after all. But loyal to the wrong women. She cursed him in her mind.
Lauren and Isabeau
The Doctor rubbed the Succubus back as she tried to sleep. But she was still reeling from their lovemaking.
"Are you okay? Lauren asked.
The woman's head snapped around and Lauren found blue eyes again. "I'm very well".
"Too much huh? Lauren asked.
Isabeau smiled as she pinned Lauren beneath her. "I didn't go all out with you yet Dr".
"I held back too". Lauren said as she pushed a lock behind Isabeau's ear.
"It's not that I don't think you can handle it. I just did not want to go there until I warned you about it. You were not scared that first day, so I knew I just needed to send a pulse into you and see how you would react. That damn Dyson ruined everything". Isabeau cooed again as she kissed Lauren's hand.
"Your hair is thicker". Lauren smiled as she pushed the same lock back again.
"That's what you want to say to me? Isabeau teased. The Doctor was so quick to notice everything.
Lauren looked the woman up and down. The scientist in her was kicking in and she wondered if anything else was going to grow on the brunette above her.
"My eyes are up here". Isabeau laughed.
Lauren laughed too and pulled the succubus down into a tight, tight hug.
"I love you too Lauren". The Succubus smiled into long locks. She pulled back and flipped the Doctor on top of her. "Ah ha".
"What? Lauren asked.
"Your hair looks thicker too Doctor Lewis". Isabeau smiled.
"We are too goofs right now". Lauren laughed.
"But you're having fun right? Do you want Bo back? Isabeau turned serious with paranoia.
"Yes. I am having fun and don't you go anywhere. You said you would not remember? Lauren held her head to make her look at her.
"I did say that". Isabeau whispered.
"Then stop worrying about Bo. Okay? Lauren raised the Succubus head again.
"I just thought…" Isabeau sighed.
"Is she hurting? Lauren asked.
"No. Not at all". Isabeau's head popped up to look in the Doctor's eyes again.
"Then stop worrying about it. I know what I am doing. I know what we did". Lauren rubbed her thumb over the woman's cheeks.
"I just thought that I did all of this without ever asking you. You went in to get Bo out and wound up with me instead. I just want you to be sure about this Lauren. I can do undo all of it, if you want me to". Isabeau said in shame.
"How is that any different than me being a doctor? You thought my life was in danger and acted immediately. I do not blame you for that. I knew the risks too". Lauren smiled as she wiped Succubus tears away.
"Lauren". Isabeau said.
"I accepted the string. I accepted all of this and everything that came with you a long time ago. There is no doubt in my mind that any of this is wrong. I know my choice. I made my choice". Lauren kissed the tears dry this time.
The Succubus nodded and fell on the woman. She closed her eyes as Lauren rubbed her back again. Her insides were calm so that calmed her too. She actually has a mate. A mate that loves her. A mate that is not afraid of her. She sighed as she listened to Lauren's heart slow to a regular beat. She smiled knowing she was in there. She was really in there. Her. Isabeau. The Succubus part of Bo is inside of Lauren's heart. Her body is in Lauren's arms. She felt tears burn again and she let them fall.
Lauren stayed still as much as she could so that the brunette would finally rest. As powerful as she is, she looked like a scared child. Scared she had done the wrong thing. Scared Lauren did not genuinely want to be her mate.
There is no spell here. No brainwashing. The Doctor is in full control of her brain and her life. And her life was starting to snore a little. She smiled at the sound. The woman had finally fallen asleep. Even as her Doctor, she knows she does not need much sleep, but she still preferred that she get some rest. She had looked tired for years. Even after a feed.
The Doctor looked down and found a small smile on the woman's face. She knew she was already dreaming about something. Probably their night or something they will do in the future.
Lauren exhaled and closed her eyes. She just let her mind wander wherever it wanted to. She needs sleep too. If the woman in her arms did not put her all into tonight, she was going to need lots and lots of energy of her own, but she knows deep down, she is ready for it. Ready for their future. One second at a time. One day at a time. One obstacle at a time. Soon she heard her own snores, and felt her body being pushed deeper into the mattress from Isabeau's weight on her.
Lauren always thought she was never going to be good enough for this woman. But the Succubus trusts her. That is good enough for Lauren to feel good enough. Probably more.
