It's here! The chapter I teased on Twitter back in December. Hope you enjoy! :)
Chapter 7
Lauren was there, waiting behind the door, arms spread out, smiling, and Bo's knees instantly turned to jelly. Somehow, her legs managed to carry her into the blonde's embrace, and not a single word was spoken, as they immediately sunk into each other, their lips meeting in a kiss that went on, endlessly, endlessly… The door fell shut, and the key landed on the floor, but Bo never noticed. She was too enthralled by Lauren's touch, Lauren's taste, Lauren's scent. The blonde enveloped her senses, took possession of her, and Bo started feeding, helplessly surrendering to the irresistible, inevitable pull that came with the closeness of her mate.
The doctor felt more energised with each gulp Bo took from her, a feeling of exaltation surging through her body, strengthening her, empowering her… and flooding her with unparalleled arousal. She moaned and whimpered, unbelieving that she was finally in Bo's arms again, vowing with her last functioning braincell that she would never let go of her ever, ever again. She held her, tugging at her jacket, to pull her impossibly closer, clinging to her, feeling her, as if she had to make sure that this was real. That this time, they weren't bound by the shackles of a dreamworld.
Bo gave in to Lauren's urgent movements, letting their bodies meld. Her heart felt like it was about to burst with joy, and she was overwhelmed with unrestrained emotion. Tears leaked from her eyes, as her hands were roaming the blonde's body, desperate to touch her everywhere at once. Lauren's chi was filling her up from head to toe, all the way to the very tips of her hair.
So good. So, so good.
Wait.
With a startled gasp, she stopped, pulling away from the blonde, immediately searching her face for any signs of impending unconsciousness. But to Bo's relief, Lauren stood tall, seemingly more energetic than ever.
The brunette's gaze was full of wonderment and awe, but also contained a whole lot of questions. Lauren placed a palm on Bo's cheek and looked deep into her eyes. "You can't kill me, Bo. Take however much you need", she said, and catching her lover's frown, added: "Do you trust me?"
"I do", Bo replied, leaning in once more to kiss her again – tenderly and slowly this time, the previous urgency gone. Knowing that she could no longer hurt the blonde felt liberating. She didn't need any reasons for now – Lauren would fill her in on the why and how later. For now, all that mattered was that she was safe.
For minutes, they stood and kissed, sometimes softly brushing their lips together, and in the next moment devouring each other, sucking on each other's tongues, moaning and whimpering with joy. When they finally broke apart, Lauren searched for Bo's gaze and silently took her hand to guide her to the spacious bedroom.
She'd arrived about an hour before the succubus and used the time to familiarise herself with the place. It was a luxurious three-bedroom apartment with a huge bathroom and kitchen. Lauren led Bo through a door adjoining the lounge and entered a room containing a couple of closets, two nightstands and a king-sized double bed. She'd already removed the comforter and lit some candles sitting on the furniture, which gave the area a beautiful glow.
Bo stood next to the bed, facing Lauren. Under different circumstances, she might've marvelled at the apartment's luxurious furnishing, but right now, she only had eyes for the blonde.
"You're so beautiful", she sighed against her lips and slowly began unbuttoning her top. Lauren tilted her head back, presenting her neck to Bo, who immediately started licking it, while she pushed the shirt off her shoulders and covered the newly exposed skin in light kisses.
Lauren closed her eyes and revelled in the feeling of Bo's mouth against her heated skin, taking in each interaction, each lick, each motion to forever engrave this blissful moment in her mind. The succubus' touch was unequalled. Her every caress, even the mere ghost of a contact felt electrifying, and for the first time in forever, Lauren allowed her mind to get lost in the haze of pure pleasure that Bo was evoking within her burning body. The blonde found herself moaning uncontrollably, writhing and clinging to her lover, as to not fall down. Piece by piece, her clothing fell away, until she stood naked.
Bo was entranced by the sight in front of her. Lauren was so unbelievably beautiful that it made her want to weep. Her chest felt like it was about to explode with joy. She didn't know where to put all this happiness. Shivers were running down her spine, as she covered every square centimetre of her lover's skin in licks and kisses. She wanted to crawl into her, worship her, make love to her forever. Noticing the blonde's shaking legs, she reverently picked her up, supporting her back with one hand and the back of her knees with the other.
Lauren wrapped her arms around Bo's shoulders like it was the most natural thing in the world and let her carry her to the bed, where she carefully put her down. For a moment, the brunette just stood there, looking at her in awe, her gaze so full of love that Lauren's heart clenched in her chest. Wordlessly, she reached out her hands, inviting her to return to her embrace.
With a few precise movements, Bo discarded her own clothes and joined Lauren on the bed, finally sinking back into her arms. They took their sweet time rediscovering each other's bodies, running their fingertips up and down smooth skin, while they kissed without pause. Their gestures grew more and more urgent, and their breathing became heavier as they heated each other up. After long minutes of teasing, Bo felt her eyes flash blue, her succubus coming forth, demanding her prize. She didn't stop her. In an instant, the tenderness from before was replaced with raw need. But she deserved to have her share. Besides, the shift in eye colour had caused Lauren to growl, and at this point, Bo really wanted to watch her come undone. It was only natural to give her wild side the lead.
Positioning herself between Lauren's legs, the brunette moved down her body, spending some time to reverently worship her breasts before scooting lower to circle the bellybutton ring with her tongue. She loved the sexy little embellishment – especially as she was likely one of only a handful of people, who even knew it was there.
Lauren basked in the slow, delicious torture of Bo's tongue, taking in every single one of the succubus' movements with all her senses. Watching the brunette between her legs, she caught her blue-eyed gaze and hummed wantonly. With a knowing smirk, Bo moved lower, breaking eye contact, and Lauren let her eyelids flutter shut to listen to her lover's sounds, feel her fingertips, take in the aroma of their shared arousal and lick her lips, tasting the remnants of their previous kisses. Finally, Bo reached her centre, and Lauren lifted her hips, hoping to feel the succubus' talented tongue. She wasn't disappointed. Slowly, Bo started sucking and nibbling at the blonde's outer lips, moving further down, only to swap sides to give the other side the same treatment.
She basked in Lauren's demanding growls and softly undulating midsection, meeting her every greedy push against Bo's mouth. The doctor's breathing had sped up significantly, so she shifted her focus, dedicating her lips and tongue further inwards to lap up the copious amounts of wetness dripping from her core. She tasted incredible. Even better than when Bo had made love to her in limbo. Of course, the place had been a simulation, so all tastes and smells experienced there were only copies of the real thing. And boy, was the real thing amazing… Unlike anything Bo had ever tasted. She felt defenceless, like she was savouring and inhaling an irresistible drug, unable to stop. Moaning uncontrollably, she drank up Lauren's sweet nectar, giving in to her succubus and letting her take over completely.
Lauren heard the telltale growl, but after minutes of Bo's delicious torture, she no longer had the capacity to lift her head and look. The sound sent her arousal into overdrive, directly catapulting her towards an explosive release, the second Bo's tongue made contact with her clit. Feeling the unstoppable force of orgasm, she helplessly let go of all control, her muscles quivering wildly, as a legendary climax took possession of her body. Incapable of uttering any words, she exhaled in a primal, drawn-out scream, while the heavenly feeling went on and on.
Enraptured, Bo listened to her lover's cries of pleasure, until after long seconds, the blonde's form went limp, and her body relaxed. Lauren was panting heavily, and her hips were still moving – just like her pussy, which was twitching with aftershocks. Awestruck, Bo observed her glistening folds, which she felt inexplicably drawn to. Carefully probing Lauren's opening with her tongue, she watched her lover's reaction. The blonde's breathing was still heavy, but she didn't back away, so Bo went in once more, slightly lifting the doctor's midsection, so she could stick her tongue inside as far as it would go.
"Aah!", Lauren whimpered, jerking her hips upwards to meet the brunette's thrusts. "God, yes, baby", she pleaded with a sob. "Fuck me."
Bo groaned deeply, as her eyes took on an even brighter shade of blue, while her tongue darted in and out at lightning speed.
Once again, Lauren was beyond words, consisting only of the wonderful sensations between her legs. Forcing herself to pry her eyes open, she was met with two shining sapphires in the midst of an orange glow covering all of Bo's skin. Had she not been aroused beyond all reason, the scientist within her would've been fascinated with the succubus' sudden colour shift. But right now, her mind and body could only fathom one thing – the pure euphoria brought forth by the combination of seeing the wild succubus in action, and the turmoil of feelings said succubus was causing between her legs. The orange glow added yet another level to Lauren's arousal, as she felt it emanate from Bo's hands to enter her shaking form.
The pulse wasn't deliberate. In fact, at this point, nothing was, as far as Bo was concerned. She was so utterly lost in their shared trance that everything she did was pure instinct. The sudden change of skin colour had surprised her as well… somewhere in the far reaches of her hazy mind. It had ever happened to her before, but just like everything else since meeting Lauren, Bo simply went with it. It wasn't like she had much of a choice in the matter anyway, as the wild beast within her was in charge now. And for the first time ever, she let her be. Didn't fight her. Accepted her as a part of herself. The notion was elating, because it gave her the certainty that she was finally truly the master of herself.
A surge of euphoria claimed her body as she felt her succubus' raw power in her veins. She pulsed Lauren again, and the blonde arched her back, spreading her legs as wide as possible to let her mate in all the way. Firmly holding one of her thighs with one arm, Bo shifted slightly, pulling her tongue out of her lover's core, only to replace it with two fingers. Lauren cried out at the feeling and pushed herself against Bo, who started fucking her slowly, and wrapped her lips around her clit. She was rewarded with another cry, and another, and another. Over and over again, she pushed into her, synchronising her thrusts with the movements of her mouth, circling, flicking, sucking her sensitive throbbing flesh, while pulsing her in regular intervals to control her pleasure.
Lauren felt like she was hovering above her own body, as Bo kept licking her, repeatedly bringing her close to the point of release, only to pulse her with a calming surge of energy in the last second, effectively halting her climax. Strangely, her treatment didn't feel frustrating. At this point, all of the blonde's senses were heightened from the mere presence of her mate, and she instinctively knew that Bo would utilise every aspect of the art of lovemaking to give Lauren the most intense orgasm she'd ever experienced. The succubus' agonising game of teasing and calming was chasing her towards a new plane of existence, turning her body into white hot energy, ready to burst at any moment.
And when that moment came… so did Lauren. Words could not describe the intensity or the array of sensations claiming her body all at the same time, lifting her high up into the clouds, as if she'd grown wings, temporarily erasing her mind, so she no longer knew, where she was, what she was, who she was. Her eyes rolled back into her head, and her body froze, every single muscle flexed from unimaginable pleasure, before the pent-up air in her lungs finally exploded out of her in a roaring scream. Endlessly, her climax rolled through her in waves, as Bo kept on licking and pulsing, milking from her lover every last bit of bliss her body was capable of producing.
Lauren was spent. Her heart was racing, and she panted heavily. Incapable of producing words, she weakly tugged at Bo's shoulders. The brunette complied, carefully licking the last drops of wetness from her outer lips, before she gently closed Lauren's legs to straddle her hips and leaned down, so that their breasts touched. She buried her face in the crook of the blonde's neck and just listened and inhaled her, as the doctor's breathing slowly calmed.
It took several minutes, until her strength returned, and she spent every second of the wait basking in Bo's warmth. When her arms finally stopped shaking, she ran her hands along her lover's thighs, up her sides and all over her back. Feeling Bo's lips starting to move against her neck, she sighed and grabbed the brunette's arse, earning herself an appreciative growl.
"Kiss me", she demanded, as Bo started grinding.
The brunette nuzzled her cheek, before brushing their lips together and finally sinking into a deep kiss. Lauren moaned into her mouth, urgently squeezing her butt cheeks, as she bucked into her.
The doctor felt too exhausted to top her untamed succubus, but conveniently enough, Bo was in the perfect position for plan B. Never breaking the kiss, she let her hands wander, searching for her breasts. Cupping both of them, she caressed Bo's nipples, and instantly, the kiss grew more urgent… as did her grinding. Breaking the kiss, Lauren looked deep into dark brown eyes and snaked a hand in between their bodies to reach Bo's centre.
The brunette sat up to give her more space and immediately threw her head back with a satisfied groan, as Lauren's fingers found her clit.
Lauren watched her, awestruck by her beauty once more. Her back was arched, her enticing neck and creamy stomach exposed, and her breasts were gently swaying with her movements.
"God, you're divine", Lauren breathed as she used one hand to circle a nipple, while busying the other between Bo's legs. Framing her clit, she stroked her slowly, relishing in the copious amounts of slick wetness covering the succubus' swollen pearl. Bo met her every caress, her body slowly bouncing up and down, and Lauren used one of the upwards movements to let two fingers slide inside.
Bo gasped at the sudden penetration, and once more, she let her wild side take over. Opening her sapphire blue eyes, she met Lauren's gaze with uninhibited lust and picked up the pace, fucking herself on the blonde's long, slender fingers. "More", she demanded, and Lauren complied, easily adding a third and then a fourth digit. Bo cried out in delight, as she started riding her hard and fast.
Lauren could tell that the succubus was close, so she went all-in, letting go of her breast and using her free hand to spread Bo's folds and lift the little hood covering her clit, completely opening her up for direct access.
"Yes!", Bo cried, when she felt Lauren's probing touch. "Yes, yes, yes!"
The blonde reacted instantly, flicking her woman's centre at lightning speed, as she held her blue-eyed gaze. Once again, Bo's skin took on the orange glow from before, when the succubus broke forth at full speed. Her cries and moans turned into savage growls, her voice sounding distorted, as she crashed down on Lauren's fingers over and over again.
The doctor was fascinated, but at the same time felt a strange kind of pull – a desire previously unknown. Feeling the first twitches of Bo's inner walls, she stared into blazing blue sapphires, willing her to lean down.
"Feed", she commanded with a deep growl that rivalled the succubus'. "Take me. Take all of me."
Once again, Bo was helpless, but unlike the first time she'd fed from Lauren, there was no fear. She gave in to the irresistible maelstrom her mate's request had caused and leaned down, drawing from her gulp upon gulp of heavenly chi, as her orgasm surged through her. This time, she didn't stop, taking her fill, just like Lauren had asked her to.
The blonde felt elated. The sensations roaring through her were different to earlier, when Bo had pulsed her. And unlike what she might've thought before, this felt even better. Seeing the billowing fog of chi leave her throat was making Lauren euphoric. She was feeding Bo, giving nourishment to this incredibly powerful being, who could not exist without her. It made her heart clench with tenderness, a sudden fierce desire to protect surging through her body… along with yet another orgasm.
Bo watched in awe, as the exchange of chi caused Lauren to start shaking uncontrollably, the movements of her thumb growing ever faster, mercilessly flicking Bo's clit, as the blonde experienced her third climax tonight. Both women's cries and moans echoed through the room, as they frantically moved against each other, their shared frenzy chasing the succubus over the edge once more, seconds before the flow of chi stopped.
When their bodies stilled, Bo eased off Lauren's fingers and collapsed next to her on the bed. Both women were covered in a sheen of sweat, but neither felt exhausted, even though they were panting as if they'd run a marathon.
"Wow", Bo breathed, staring at the ceiling, unable to wipe the goofy grin off her face. For the first time in her life, she'd experienced the thrill of a full feed without having to face the devastation of death right after. The feeling was incredible. She wanted to laugh and cry at the same time, but mostly, she yearned to be close to her mate. Rolling onto her side, she clung to Lauren, possessively putting an arm on her chest and a leg on her midsection.
"You smell so good", she whispered, nuzzling Lauren's cheek, before placing a small kiss there. "I love you so much."
"And I love you", Lauren echoed, drawing small circles on Bo's arm.
For a while, they remained silent and closed their eyes, basking in the aftermath of their lovemaking. The room was quiet, except for the sound of their calming breathing.
Bo's hand was softly caressing Lauren's cheek, and with every breath, she inhaled her scent, deeply appreciating the presence of her mate. She could sense the contently purring beast within her as well as her utter satisfaction at the full feed. Over the last weeks, Bo had learned to accept her wild side little by little, and the resulting change had been extraordinary. For one, because she no longer had to communicate using words. But secondly and more importantly, she didn't feel like a prisoner within her own body anymore. On the contrary, she felt empowered – in the true sense of the word. For the first time in her life, she appreciated the immense power that came with her nature. It felt freeing. And a little unreal.
"Lauren?", she asked quietly, propping herself up on her forearm to observe the blonde's face.
"Hm?" Lauren opened her eyes to meet Bo's scrutinising gaze.
"Are you really… okay?", Bo asked, hesitantly biting her lip. "I mean, I can see you're alive, of course, but…" She moved her hand down, resting it on Lauren's chest above her heart, almost relieved when she felt its strong beat. "It's just… I didn't stop. This was a full feed, and you're the first of my lovers to ever…" She interrupted herself, unable to say the rest out loud.
"Shh", Lauren hushed, cupping her face to pull her down into a gentle kiss. "I'm perfect. I told you, you can't kill me."
Bo frowned. "And I believe you. But why is that, exactly?"
For a few seconds, Lauren pondered about how much to tell her and then decided to go for the safe route. Trick hadn't explicitly asked her to keep his link to Bo to herself, but she felt that it wasn't her place to give away the ancient fae's secret. Besides, now that she knew about it, she was sure that he'd let Bo know as soon as he saw her.
"Over the last weeks, I studied a heap of books concerning succubae and incubi", she started explaining. "I learned a lot… but nothing about our specific case." She made a little pause, trying to find the right words. "You see, what we share is special. So special that it's extremely rare. Not a lot of your kind ever even consider entering into a bond, because it limits their… um, choices."
Bo smirked. "Yeah, doesn't seem like a very succubus thing to do."
"Exactly", Lauren confirmed. "Which is why there's hardly any research about true mates. But with the help of Trick, I managed to come by another book – an ancient one, from the 13th century."
"Trick?", Bo echoed.
"He owns a bar in town. He's fae, like you, but… nicer than a lot of his kind." She smiled at Bo's questioning frown. "One of the things that make him special is his age. He was alive in the Middle Ages… which is why he owns quite the impressive collection of books from that time."
"Wow", Bo said. "The things he must've seen…"
Lauren nodded, giving her a faint smile. "I'm pretty sure you'll meet him soon."
"So, what did his book say?", Bo inquired.
"The author described a very particular case of another bond he studied in his time. One much like ours, only in his case, both parties were fae." Silencing Bo's impending protest by placing a finger on her lips, she continued: "I know. I was hesitant at first, too, believe me. But as it turns out, when it comes to succubus and incubus mating bonds, the genus of the partner is irrelevant."
"Wow, how unusually… progressive", Bo said with a slightly sarcastic undertone, and, catching her lover's raised eyebrows, added: "It's just that from what I've learned about the fae up until now, most of them seem to be stuck-up arseholes, who don't even notice humans. Did the book really say the bonding works with humans, too?"
Lauren swayed her head. "Not in so many words." Bo rolled her eyes. "But", the blonde added emphatically, "well… look at us." She took her hand and placed it back on her chest. "I just survived a full feed from you; and not only that, I actually feel stronger than ever before."
"But how is that possible? How are you not… like all the others?"
"I'm not sure", she replied gently. "At least not yet. Remember, I only learned about all of this recently, and I'm going to have to do a lot of tests to get to the bottom of it. But look at the facts… I'm alive, and you feel exceptionally energised, don't you?" Bo nodded. "You see", Lauren continued, "from Trick's books, I learned that due to our bond, my chi will gradually become more potent, so that eventually, you'll only need me to survive. Which means, the bond not only makes monogamy possible for succubae and incubi, who desire it, but due to the nature of extraordinarily potent chi, it also makes them more powerful than most fae… at the cost of being dependent on their mate." For a split-second, Lauren held her breath, expecting a shocked reaction at this revelation. But Bo didn't even flinch.
"Your chi does taste better than any I've ever had… much better", she purred, absent-mindedly drawing small circles on Lauren's skin. "But I figured it's because of my feelings for you… which are also new and quite honestly, kind of weird."
"I agree. But I believe our mutual feelings were necessary for the bond being able to establish in the first place. And they are both the result, as well as the foundation for it."
Bo frowned. "I think my brain just exploded."
Lauren took a moment to organise her thoughts, which the brunette used to put her head on her chest to listen to her heartbeat.
"Okay, this is all just speculation, but I have a theory", Lauren started. "I found it… odd, to say the least, when I developed such deep feelings for you after knowing you for barely an hour."
"Right?!", Bo chimed in with a chortle. "Tell me about it!"
"Initially, I thought it must've been your pulse, but my feelings never faded, and then you told me, you felt it, too." Bo didn't reply, but kissed her chest and cuddled closer. "At this point, I assume that the bond is, much like love itself, a process that involves a whole array of chemical reactions in our bodies – pheromones, hormones, the whole nine yards. Now, my theory is that the bond is nothing but a very intense kind of love. One that can only exist between two people, who happen to have a very specific set of preconditions that happen to match in a unique way." She turned her head to face Bo. "Simply put, you and I are a perfect match, purely based on the chemical composition of our bodies."
Bo grinned up at her. "I did find the composition of your body exceptionally yummy right from the start."
"Likewise", Lauren replied with a smirk. "Not to burst your romantic bubble, but I should probably add that scientifically speaking, our type of 'perfect match' likely isn't even that rare. I mean, there's over seven billion people on this planet, after all."
"But you said, what we have is rare", Bo complained with a little pout.
Lauren gave her a warm smile and caressed her cheek. "It is. What makes us different from all the other perfect-match couples is the fact that you're a succubus. You have to understand that your powers go way beyond seduction and remarkable strength. According to my theory, your inner succubus recognised her optimal mate in me, the second I touched you for the first time. Her insight caused your desire to pulse me. Which immediately sealed the bond."
"That sounds like neither of us had a choice", Bo said a little reluctantly, lifting her head to properly face Lauren. "I mean, don't get me wrong, the intensity of my feelings for you is… overwhelming. But I can't help but think… what if she'd been wrong? I find it hard to believe that no-one ever entered into this magical super-marriage and later on realised they'd made a huge mistake." She huffed in frustration. "It all just seems so… haphazard."
Lauren placed a finger under the brunette's chin to face her. "You're forgetting how unique you are, Bo", she said softly. "You didn't know you were fae at the time, nor what that even meant, so your succubus took over. Her instinct told her, what to do."
"What about you though? You didn't have a choice either…"
"It seems that way, doesn't it? I've thought about this a lot over the last weeks. Especially after reading in one of Trick's books that the bond had to be mutual."
"How was that mutual?", Bo exclaimed. "I mean, neither of us was even aware of what was happening."
"Yeah, see, I think that's where you're wrong", Lauren explained. "I believe that deep down in our subconscious, we were aware. Both of us. You in the shape of your succubus, and me… Well, just remember, who initiated our first kiss outside at the Light's compound. You actually fought me and tried to resist, but I wouldn't cave."
"Because of my pulse…"
"No, Bo. Your pulse was too mild. By far not strong enough to thrall me into total oblivion, like other succubae are capable of. And how could it be? After all, you'd only just learned, what you were. You had no comprehension of what your true power was." She made a little pause to let her words sink in. "I helped you escape and initiated that kiss because deep down, subconsciously, I felt… I knew that it was the right thing to do. And by doing so, I sealed the bond. It was my part of 'I do', if you will", she added with a smirk, thinking of Bo's earlier "super-marriage" analogy.
"You did say, it was worth dying for", Bo pondered out loud.
Lauren nodded softly. "Because subconsciously, I already knew then that you couldn't kill me."
"That actually makes sense", Bo admitted with a weak smile.
Lauren caressed her cheek. "Again, it's just a theory. But fact remains that you can't drain me. On the contrary, you'll make me stronger each time you take my chi…" She made a little pause and then, hearing a grumbling sound from her stomach, continued with a grin: "Starving, however, is still possible. I think Ali left us some goodies though. Want to have dinner with me?"
Bo smirked. Their lovemaking had more than worked off the salad she'd had earlier, and now that Lauren mentioned food, she realised how hungry she actually was.
"I'd love to have dinner with you", she said.
