Bo eyed Kenzi from behind the steering wheel. The woman was practically glowing, she may as well have been smiling from ear to ear. The odds were stacked against them once again, the biggest odd being the unknown. Not knowing when, what, or why. How they would protect those that they loved. But then there was Kenzi, who still managed to get up every day, as vibrant as ever, and that made Bo have hope.

"What's got you glowing so hard, Kenz?" The succubus asked, finally breaking the silence.

Kenzi looked at her finally, a faint blush creeping into her cheeks. "Just last night. Yeah, I know we have another jerkwad coming after us, but last night, Bo. Hands down, one of my number one nights."

"I thought I saw something new in your aura. That good, huh?" Bo chuckled softly, watching the younger woman next to her.

"Bo-Bo!," Kenzi gasped, smacking her arm, "Get your mind out of the gutter! We didn't get that far..."

Bo smirked seemingly reading Kenzi's mind. The succubus knew this was a different feeling for Kenzi. Women just have a magic taste that Bo had always picked up on. None of her boyfriends had compared to what she's done with women, Lauren, for that matter. It was just on another level and she was excited for Kenzi to experience it. But Tamsin is fae and that level would increase tenfold.

"It was like dying, going to heaven, Valhalla in this case, and being revived by the softest pillows against my lips." Kenzi gushed, clutching her hands to her chest. "Why didn't you tell me what I was missing out on?"

"That's something you have to experience yourself and many women dont take the chance." Bo shrugged. "I'm happy for you, Kenz. You deserve to be happy with all the fucked up things we see every day."

"Thank you, Bo. I don't want to get ahead of myself though. After all, it was just a kiss. However amazing and... stimulating it was."

Bo smiled at that, finally pulling up to the gym. Dyson was waiting outside for them and smiled as he saw them pull up. This was crucial. They were a team and they needed to build like one, but that couldn't happen until everyone improved themselves. And so here they were.

"Tamsin and Lauren are waiting inside." Dyson said, jogging up to the vehicle. " I'll be with you and Lauren. Tamsin is with Kenzi."

Bo looked back at the woman, who immediately flushed. Dyson looked oblivious as ever.

"Bo will fill you in..." Kenzi whispered, practically racing away and into the gym to look for Tamsin.

Tamsin's POV

"Kenzi should be here any minute now." I thought to myself.

I don't know why I'm so nervous. Maybe it's just the unknown. We're here to train... but training can put you in compromising positions. Gods, do I want to be in compromising positions with her. But that's besides the point... I don't want to hurt her, but I have to push her. I need her to be ready. Her role is crucial.

I can see Kenzi now, looking somewhat lost as she approaches the back of the gym. She doesn't see me yet, but she's gorgeous when she's confused. Finally, her eyes land on me and her smile lights up the room.

"Shit... Aaaaand, you're staring now. Say something, you idiot." I think to myself.

"Cat got your tongue?" Kenzi teases quietly.

"What? Pft, no way..." I try to recover miserably. "Just, uh- I don't ever think I've seen you in actual gym clothes before..."

"Well, a girls got to keep her figure somehow." Kenzi smiled and I knew I was in more trouble that I thought.

At this point, my throat is dry and Kenzi is making her way closer to me. Not one to stray from her style, she's dressed in a black sports bra that exposes her stomach, black leggings that fit oh-so-perfectly, and some tennis shoes. She's done away with her hoodie on the ground and her air is up in a ponytail, bangs framing her perfect face. I don't know what the hell has me so nervous all of a sudden.

"You look like you're about to lose it, T." Kenzi says, breaking me out of my thoughts.

"No, nope, I'm good." Was my pathetic response. "I figured we could start with some hand to hand stuff and some different grapples."

Kenzi smiles and takes the lead onto the sparring mats. I'm sure she knows exactly what she's doing because her hips were not swaying that much until now and I'm grateful for it.

"You coming or do I need to pick your jaw up off the floor?" She calls over her shoulder with a smirk.

I say nothing to that as I catch up to her. This is not going as planned, so I dive right into it, hoping I can focus.

"Instruct me." Kenzi says simply, not knowing that I'm about lose it, but find my composure. Two can play at this game.

"Punch me, like you mean it." I tell her, smirking softly.

To my surprise, she really goes for it, but I'm quicker. Grabbing her fist, I take that pressure point along her thumb and squeeze just enough.

"Ow, ow, ow!" She stumbles and drops to her knees. "Be gentle, I'm fragile."

"You have a lot of power from where you're sitting, you just don't know it yet." I raise my eyebrow at her, and let go. "You have a free hand and you will use them in anyway possible. Any assailant, easy and number one; The groin."

Kenzi watches me attentively as she sits on her calves, the picture of innocence, although I know that's not the case. It still tugs at the deepest parts of me.

"At that point, they will go down or give you a moment to over power them." I move down to her level laying across the mat. "Get on top of me."

"W-what?" She stumbles, moving slowly.

"Get. On. Top." I demand, but laugh internally at her expression. "Or would you prefer I ask you to straddle me?"

Kenzi's eyes widen, but she does as she's told. Her frame is warm and light against me.

"Now, here you can punch, but you are also vulnerable. An assailant can buck or easily over power you by grabbing your arm." I demonstrate slowly and switch the roles.

Kenzi is below me, my stomach trapped between her legs. Her breathing quickens before she composes herself and I try to hide a smirk.

"Can we take a break, Teach? I need some water." She says nervously.

I nod at her and she all but runs toward the bathroom. Serves her right. Tamsin-1. K-star-0.

Kenzi's POV

I finally catch a break and run into the bathroom, right into a stall. This must be what Bo feels like when she can't feed. The heat surrounding my body is unbearable. I don't know what I expected, but Tamsin is so... so sexy when she's teaching and demanding that way. We're not even an hour in and I don't know that I can handle anymore without spontaneously combusting. I close my eyes for a moment and take a deep breath before pulling out my phone, dialing Bo's number. She picks up on the second ring.

"Kenz, everything alright? Did Tamsin break something? I'll kill her, I-" She rambles.

"No, no. I'm just having a hard time being around her..." I whisper.

"What, why?" She asks.

"Let's just say I want to leave here and jump her bones." I blurt out quickly. "She's just so good at this teaching thing and I'm fantasizing, when really I have no idea what I would do anyway. This is so new, Bo, but it feels so good and she hasn't even done anything yet."

"Yet, Kenz. When the time comes, you'll know and if push comes to shove, you said she was good at teaching..." Bo replies, and I can hear the teasing in her voice.

"You're right, Bo-Bo. Ugh, what is she doing to me? I'm not usually like this." I whimper.

"You're in loooooove." She drawls back. "Oh my goodness, I know why you like to tease, it feels good to return the favor. Now, get back out there and try not to explode!"

And with that, she hangs up. Here we go. I brace myself and head towards the door, but before I can leave, Tamsin crashes right into me.

"Shit, I'm sorry, Kenz." She says, steadying me by my shoulders. She must've been doing some exercise because her skin is glistening with sweat.

"I-uh, um. No problem." I spit out, my voice high pitched.

"You're tense. What's bothering you?" Tamsin asks with concern in her eyes.

"It's you. Being near you... on top of you. I can't handle it without wanting to touch you all over. That day we went shopping, I almost lost it. You're gorgeous and I'm just me, stumbling into something with you. Something I have no idea about!" I ramble. "I want you, Tamsin."

Her eyes are piercing into my soul now, but she doesn't say a word. Instead, her soft lips move to touch mine and every ounce of tension leaves my body. It's not heated or rushed. This is our second kiss and it feels just as amazing as the first. And then, she pulls away.

"You have me, Kenzi. We don't have to rush into things if you're not ready." She says, caressing my face.

I let out a sigh and Tamsin smiles.

"The look on your face when I told you to get on top of me was priceless." She laughs.

You knew what you were doing to me that whole time!" I swat at her playfully and pout.

"Says the one swaying her hips to no avail! I couldn't nearly resist." Tamsins says, pulling me out of the bathroom. "I'll spare you the rest of this for today. But I can't tell you it won't happen again..."

Tamsin winks at me, before turning to grab our belongings. She returns and puts her arm around me, leading me out of the gym.
