Lauren and Bo made love for hours, losing track of time.

As Bo rolled with Lauren in bed, Bo lost all thoughts of her Valkyrie and focused on the beautiful blonde doctor except when brought up.

Lauren knew how sensitive Bo now was to suggestion and kept repeating during breaks, "I'm the only one that loves you Bo. Tamsin is a friend with benefits and a feed."

Bo of course agreed and repeated it but finally asked, "Same deal is before? I can feed from everyone except my ex's like Dyson?"

"Y… yes, but for now, you can feed from Tamsin, until such time my treatment plan works where you no longer have to feed from other sentient beings," Lauren said still sweaty all over in recovery mode.

Bo tried to think but took Lauren for her word. She still had to ask, "And what if Tamsin or the bond are no longer viable?"

"Well if I must, I can make you human, but my current treatment regiment should work to bridge the gap. It would be easier to avoid side effects of the medicine if you can still feed from Tamsin. Just stay with Tamsin and keep her as your good friend that is allowed to make love to you."

"So I put her on the no feed list after you can treat me successfully?"

"I concur with that assessment."

"And you my love? You will be solely mine?" Bo asked with a pout.

Lauren chuckled like it was a given, "Of course, I have always been only yours. I'm not like Tamsin that sleeps around."

"Thanks. Oh boy doc you got all the bases covered," Bo hugged her. Oddly enough, deep down, Bo knew Lauren's comment about Tamsin was a half truth. Tamsin did sleep around UNTIL she became Bo's. Even after Bo broke her heart she still remained faithful. What was she doing NOW? Bo couldn't think about this at the moment for some reason and just wanted to be Lauren's.

"My place tonight babe?" Lauren asked almost rhetorically getting out of the bed to get dressed since she knew Bo was all hers now but needed to make sure Bo was exposed to the attractant more to make her suggestions permanent.

"Sure, see you tonight Lauren," Bo replied pecking Lauren on the lips getting out of bed herself. "Shower with me?"

Lauren agreed but added, "OK. I just can't do wash my hair right now with the new conditioner I'm using with strengthens my hair and make it less prone to splitting at the ends." She needed to make sure that some of the attractant stayed on her just in case. If she washed it all off, then Bo may revert.

Bo relished pushing Lauren's buttons. Lauren was little prudish in sex and pushed her boundaries making her crest again under the shower head. She liked a wet Lauren and although she kept reminding Bo of her hair, Bo just was rabid for her. Tamsin seemed to not mind pushing the limits of love making and was up for anything.

Speaking of, she could now feel the fogginess in her mind where just a couple minutes ago everything seemed ok. She probably needed to feed.

They quickly dried off and got dressed once more.

"Bo have a seen my bra?" Lauren asked sifting through her clothing.

Bo just innocently said, "Huh?" knowing full well she hid it.

Lauren just finally gave up donning her blouse and then lab coat over it. "I guess it'll turn up later."

Bo admired her pointing thought her silk blouse and then as they left the shower area said, "Hey I gotta feed. See you tonight?"

"OK Bo. I'll have dinner ready. Italian?"

"Yum-bo. Sounds good," Bo pecked her love in the lips and left quickly. She not only felt like she needed to feed, but something deep down was telling her something was wrong. She just didn't know what.

Lauren walked down the hall then opened the door to the lab and when she did, her nurse tech Suzie jumped back in surprise for it looked like she was exiting. She apparently came back to do some quick readings on her experiment she was writing a graduate level paper on. She was in a lab coat as well but it was opened showing tons of leg underneath the black sparkly miniskirt. She a matching tight halter top showed plenty to cleavage. Her dirty blonde hair was no longer pulled back but down. It had naturally tight curls going just below shoulder length bordering frizzy.

"Oh. I'm sorry Suzie," Lauren confessed taking her all in and noted that she had no glasses on. She must have switched to contacts. She had never seen her like this before.

Suzie let Lauren into the lab and just reported, "I just stopped in a couple minutes ago to check on my results." She then frowned and added, "Their not what I expected."

"Oh?" Lauren bit her pen cap and wondered how fast she could take off her top. It was probably a zippered back. 1.24 seconds. Lauren shook that thought off and just said, "Did you calibrate the spectrometer and other equipment properly?" She was after all with Bo. But Evony has been teaching her a thing or 2 about the dark. If you want it. TAKE IT. Right or wrong was in the eye of the beholder.

"Yes, but the cell regeneration rate across my sample sets doesn't seem to be accelerated. As a matter o fact, they seem to be growing at the same rate as the control," Suzie replied

Lauren looked though the microscope and samples quickly trying to tear her eyes of Suzie. She had never seen her dressed this way before.

"So? Going out tonight?" Lauren asked loading the next culture almost robotically.

Suzie almost forgot to respond since she had a great view of Lauren's nipples and pert breasts when her shirt billowed forward after leaning to look into the microscope. Also her hair was still damp like she just finished taking a shower. Lauren did that every now and then when she did all nighters at the lab. Last time she ran into Lauren with only a towel on when she bumped into her to use the bathroom. She was really hot. If it wasn't for the fact that Lauren was her boss, she might have ravaged Lauren right then and there with just her towel.

"Yea, my friends will be clubbing later and hitting some bars," Suzie cleared her throat not able to think. Her jaw almost dropped when Lauren straightened up with her erect tips now firmly poking through her silk blouse.

"Did you use the correct hormone agent you developed?" Lauren asked.

"Yes."

Lauren was still in nerd mode when she observed that Suzie was staring at her chest. OMG. No BRA and she didn't button up her lab coat. Cover up? Yes, but make it look natural. "How about the enzymes and ATP mixtures in the culture? Did you make sure to compensate for the additional energy and raw materials needed for the predicted growth rate?"

Suzie covered her mouth and stammered, "N… no. So THAT'S why. They can't grow faster if the raw materials for growth aren't there!" She observed the doctor cover up slightly like she was cold but she was so happy, she snaked her hand under Lauren's closing lab coat in the nick of time and side hugged her so hard Lauren's chest just strained against her blouse albeit a little clumsy.

Lauren felt naked as her curves were on full display even behind the thin semi white translucent silk covering it. Suzie must have known and her nipples and areola outlines were now front and center. Lauren had to test her theory feeding her hand inside Suzie's coat as well side hugging her too but fingers fell snaking from her hips and down her short short shirt to her exposed leg. She stroked it as Suzie grabbed the necessary enzymes in front of her free hand. Slowly Lauren pulled the hem of her skirt higher and higher and like clock work, Suzie not only allowed it she pushed her ass out more and before she let go of Lauren, she 'accidentally' tweaked her nipple.

'NICE THONG and REALLY FIRM PIECE.' Lauren thought to herself lost in la la land.

It was ON Lauren smirked to herself knowing full well that when she worked for the light, she stayed on the straight and narrow. NOW that she was with the dark under Evony, she could have ANYTHING she wanted and right now Suzie was a ripe delicious platter ready to eat. Bo? Yes, of course she wanted Bo all to herself, but why not have a guilt free hookup too? If Bo could feed, this would be ok. Besides, even if Bo did know, she was under her spell now.

Lauren just bided her time as Suzie loaded the sample into the microscope adding the enzymes. When she bent forward Laruen requested, "Anything?"

Bo returned deciding to be nice and give Lauren back her bra since she knew Lauren would admonisher her later about it, but from the small windows of her lab, she saw the whole thing. Lauren's and Suzie's aura were burning brighter and brighter for each other and right after a happy side hug, Suzie went to look into the microscope and Lauren quickly unzipped the nurse tech's halter top in less and 2 seconds with it floating to the ground. This was followed by Lauren shimming down her mini almost micro skirt and thong.

Bo had no idea what to do when Lauren split Suzie's legs apart who was still pretending to look into the microscope. She knelt between them and attacked her core and lapping up her nectar.

Bo became buffeted by complex, ambivalent emotions.

TRAITOR! Bo thought but she loved Lauren.

BITCH! But she yearned for Lauren.

Backstabbing whore! But she wanted to join in and accept anything so long as Lauren, her love was happy and by her side.

By Lauren's aura alone, it was lust, but it was also more. Bo also KNEW there was always something about that nurse tech's aura that screamed an intimate attraction to Lauren. HER Lauren.

Suzie gave up feigning work dropped her lab coat and pulled Lauren up, sitting her on the edge of the table as Suzie desperately yanked Lauren's clothing off. It didn't take long for them to be all over each other exploring each other's nubile bodies.

Bo froze as they transition to a 69 only clad in their high heels. She was really upset. Sure Bo use to feed around but she needed to feed to survive, but LAUREN had no such excuse.

ALSO Lauren just promised to be monogamous to her just a couple minutes ago and broke that promise perfunctorily.

'That little cunt', Bo thought but she still wanted to please and obey her love.

WAS Lauren her love? She didn't quite know now.

Yes, I want to keep her happy. Bo loved her.

No, she's doing something now that was undermining their relationship. Bo knew she should be furious, but she wasn't. Could Lauren, be doing something underhanded to her?

Bo just resigned to put Lauren's bra on her office chair and left more confused than ever. She was normally not this indecisive and knew it. She needed help and the only people she trusted now, Kenzi and Tamsin.

Kenzi, since she was her sister from the start.

Tamsin, because she had given Bo her unconditional love in deed.

Kendra opened the door to her unoccupied house but it wasn't empty for long when Kiko strolled in behind her.

Kendra made her way to the kitchen, opened the fridge and tossed her a bottled water saying, "Thanks for driving me around and hanging out."

"Not a problem," mentioned Kiko taking a seat at the bar.

"Oh, Eric got sake as a gift when… from his last Op," Kendra rummaged through her cupboards overhead. "He felt bad throwing it away and he never had the taste for it, so if you want it, it's yours." Kendra found it saying, "Ah ha." She then set the black bottle with a short simple label on front of her that appeared to be hand written in calligraphy.

Kiko smiled and observed the Japanese writing and seal and noted, "No wonder he didn't want to throw it away. This is top shelf sake and if I'm reading this correctly, this bottle is an extremely limited edition of sorts." This item had a lot more history but decided to keep it to herself.

"Well take it," Kendra motioned to the black bottle then took out a glass to get water from the dispenser of her refrigerator.

"I feel bad even breaking the seal," Kiko pushed it away from her. "No please keep it in a cool place."

Kendra just smirked and put her hand on bottle to break the wax seal when Kiko like a cat put her hand a top of hers and said in warning, "No Kendra. Don't open it."

Kendra looked at her weird like something had gotten into her. Why was Kiko so adamant about having her keep the bottle AND not opening it.

"Share?" Kendra asked.

Kiko demurred.

"Please," Kendra amended.

Kiko sharply inhaled and said, "The less you know about this bottle the better. TRUST me."

"OK. Again, why from a high level? Is it poison?"

"It is sake but THIS bottle and bottles similar to this are special. These are used in underground rituals which involve assassins. Executing this ritual, even informally has consequences and actions I am obligated to fulfill to keep and maintain my family honor. Please….. this is about as far as I can go in concerning this," Kiko relayed nervously.

Kendra noted how serious she was and the fact that she was on edge. It was atypical of her so Kendra nodded and put the bottle away where she found it. She'd have to do more research on her own later.

"OK Kiko. I'm sorry if I upset you," Kendra said closing the cupboard.

"No problems," Kiko smirked almost relieved.

After guzzling her water Kendra just waved it off and said, "So try not to beak my alarm system, hide in the shadows, use smoke balls to teleport around, or …. Whatever you do emmm for work."

Kiko held in a laugh and just mentioned, "Like a NINJA? At least you got the country right."

"Well I gotta take a shower and feel free to use the guest shower," Kendra offered going up the stairs. "God, I need a hot shower. D-man did a number on me."

Kiko smirked tightly and nodded.

Kendra turned on the shower and got undressed just tossing her workout clothes aside. She found it odd how Kiko reacted in almost fear over a simple bottle of sake. In any case, what was even odder was that she felt as ease with Kiko. It's like they knew each other in a former life if that was even possible. Kiko also resisted answering her questions only if it was really important to her to protect Kendra from harm.

Kendra stepped into the hot streams of water and wet her hair. So far, Kiko was only guarded about 2 things. That bottle of sake and her boyfriend. Otherwise, she was an open book somewhat. The bottle of sake, she needed to look up and as for her mystery boyfriend, she was wondering who he was. Kiko didn't seem to text or communicate to him, at least while she was around her.

Kiko was going to tell Kendra she was going to go. She needed to get back to her place to take that shower, but more importantly, she needed to check into work and review any interesting low hanging fruit contracts that could be done in a day for easy money.

She roamed stealthy into Kendra's room as normal to the sound of water pitter pattering off her body and went to the bathroom archway to say she was leaving. There was no door to this open ultra modern house and through the mirror Kiko just balked at Kendra's nude form through the glass of the stall.

Kiko already knew from yoga class that she was muscular but this took the cake. Kendra was just lathering up and by golly she was beautiful. She was toned so well that she had yet to show her baby bump.

Eric and Dyson were freaking lucky to have her, Kiko mused. Thoughts danced in her head of stripping down and joining Kendra in that shower but alas Kendra didn't see her that way. Also, their friendship was growing by leaps and bounds. Now wasn't the time to throw it all away. Besides, she knew her place. She told Kendra that she was resigned to be her confidant and friend even though Kendra didn't know that she was the target of her affection. In any case, in her line for work, having any type of relationship was a liability even this one.

Guilt was Kiko's next feeling stepping away from the door to be out of sight. How dare she thinking about her friend that way she scolded herself. She needed a drink and she needed it now. She, in addition, needed to distance herself from Kendra a little.

"Hey, I'm going to split," Kiko announced, peering into the mirror at her again surreptitiously.

"OK. So see you tomorrow. Ugggggg." Kendra mentioned stretching her neck.

"Are you ok?" Kiko inquired concerned, but looking at Kendra, she was stretching her neck muscles. Dyson probably did a number on her at the precinct.

"Yea, D-man shifted on me in the interrogation room. He was …. A little rough. I'll be fine."

Kiko was always purposeful with her word but found herself saying, "I can give you a quick massage after you get out." She immediately saw Kendra pause to consider this stepping out from the streams and Kiko also covered her mouth knowing she just probably stepped over the line.

Kendra thought that was nice of her but offered her a way out, "I don't want to keep you. Thanks."

Kiko made a split second decision and added, "I have professional experience in that area and it'll help the soreness go away." How far was she willing to go, Kiko mused?

"OK. I guess I need to have a better range of movement tomorrow," Kendra concluded.

Bo walked briskly into the crack shack. She needed to talk to someone since her mind still felt both clear but unsettled.

It was abandoned with Kenzi at the bar playing with a bottle cap from a beer long since finished.

No noted that Kenzi had her carry on packed and ready to go.

Bo slower her approach and said curiously, "Kenz?"

Kenzi didn't even both to look at her and just said as controlled as she could without blowing up, "Bo Bo, Tamsin sent Arin to back you up when you dealt with Lauren. Arin relayed everything back to Tamsin and me. To say I'm disappointed is putting it mildly."

Bo sat down and began, "I was kicking her butt Kenz, but ….."

"Really? But you ended up doing the tango with Lauren," Kenzi announced glaring at Bo.

Bo tried to get a hold of the situation but had no idea how and stammered, "I… I don't know why I did that. I do love Lauren."

Kenzi just almost had it and nearly yelled, "We ALL love Lauren but YOU missy gave her your heart! Did we forget who's the real victim here?!"

"Tamsin… I… I love her…. She's a really good friend and is bonded to me," Bo stammered not sure why that didn't sound right.

Kenzi just lost it and yelled in Bo's face, "Tamsin LOVES you and ONLY you! She let the bond form because of that love. REMEMBER unconditional love? You promised it to her and she is giving it back to you and YOU fucking set it on fire! AGAIN."

"I… I needed to bed with Lauren… to… to" Bo backed up trying to digest this. "I… I needed to feed…."

"YEA just BLAME it on something you CAN'T do Bo!" Kenzi jump out of her seat angry. "Tamsin also filled you up before you left so don't freaking tell me that it was an URGE because you weren't hungry."

"I… Kenzi…."

"To make it WORSE you fucking GAVE your heart to Lauren and put Tamtam in the 'friends with benefits zone'! T-sam was nice enough to let you tango with her or anyone else you wanted but NO. You… you…."

"She means more to me than that," Bo yelled back.

"A friend BUT NOT LIKE THAT!" Kenzi screamed back but at the same time hook punched her former friend.

Bo was shocked and surprised that her best friend punched her so hard she was knocked off her stool and was lying on the ground. The shooting pain was from her jaw and back of her head she managed to bump on the bar.

Kenzi didn't apologize and just kept ranting, "You came here to FEED from my daughter Bo.. MY DAUGHTER! You promised Lauren that you'd make sure T-sam doesn't interfere or harm LAUREN or your 'blossoming' relationship with the doctor who is KNOWN to have more skeletons in her closets than Genghis Khan! T-sam hides NOTHING from you. You also promised your HEART to Lauren. HOW DARE YOU! You're using Tammy! Using her until Lauren can find a way to keep you feed via injection."

"It's not like that…" Bo got up still holding her jaw but was at a loss for her defense.

"THEN what Bo Dennis!" Kenzi spat back extending her luggage handle sharply ready to roll out of there.

"I…"

"FUCK YOU! You and back stabbing Lauren then would kick her to the curb like a piece of trash," Kenzi pointed towards the door. "You …you… you… I hate to say this…. SLUT!"

That name really hurt Bo to the core.

"Tamsin is a free spirit! She doesn't want to be tied down," Bo yelled back not knowing if that was 100 percent true.

"BUT she chose to be with you… LOVE YOU UNCONDITIONALLY! Even against everything she holds dear! She moved Valhalla and earth for YOU. She took YOUR pain you saddled her with through the bond. She'd die for you. Now she won't move on killing or hurting Lauren now of the same reason. LOVE. Tamsin keeps her promises which is more than I can say for you! " Kenzi walked toward he door rolling the small suitcase behind her.

"Kenz… where are you going…." Bo welled up. Her best friend was leaving her and it looked like for good.

"We're DONE Bo!" Kenzi didn't even bother to look back.

"Nooooo," Bo yelped in pain with tears streaming down her face and then begged. "I.. I need you. I can't hold everyone together with.. without you … PLEASE."

Kenzi, still brooding with distain, just craned her head to look at Bo. "You SHOULD have thought about that before screwing my daughter over… figuratively and literally!... No Bo. YOU were the glue that kept everyone together, but you are also the only one to blame if it falls apart too," Kenzi opened the door to leave.

Bo collapsed to her knees and sobbed totally broken. Kenzi was right about being the only one to blame for her actions. What had she done?

Kenzi frowned and left for Spian. She hated to see their relationship end this way. Maybe their close friendship would have survived if Tamsin was never her daughter. Maybe not. THIS was not the Bo Dennis she knew, not anymore.

There once mighty succubus crumbled to the floor in utter defeat.

It didn't take long for Kendra to finish up and come out of the shower with just a towel tightly wrapped around her body.

Kendra felt a little naked but trusted Kiko just enough to follow through. It wasn't like she was naked and her workout gear covered less than this towel.

Kiko just kept it casual and motioned to the bed pulling her comforter back, "Just sit first so I can get the knots out of your neck.

Kendra complied and Kiko kneeled behind her and worked her neck and shoulder blades.

It took a couple minutes and Kendra finally relaxed. Kiko was really good at this and Kendra queried surprised, "Wow. I pay for good massages like this. Are you a licensed and do this moon lighting?"

The assassin just chuckled, "No I'm not licensed but I'm self taught to the point I'm better than most."

"Oh yea…. Right there," the detective grunted. It was rewarded with more pressure and Kendra was in heaven.

"I can feel it."

Kendra found it odd that Kiko was this good and when Kiko laid her in bed to face down and loosened her towel on her body, it was fine with her.

The cop just had to ask, "So you learned it as part of your job?"

"Yea," Kiko just shrugged.

"Mmmmmmmm. Why if you don't mind me asking? I don't see the fit." It was a moment later when Kendra kind of put it together saying, "Don't tell me. You pose as a massage therapist as a means to get to your target?"

Kiko was in heaven since she had full access to all of Kendra's body moving the towel around a little too much. She just had take a 'gander and the goodies' albeit her back side. She had a cute ass. Apparently this was something that only Dyson and Eric had. She just finally replied, "Correct. This is just one of the several ways I utilize to get close to my targets."

Kendra added, "Oh. And then you, 'take care of them'."

"Well it depends. Sometimes I need information. I can get it the nice way which is to ask. The really nice way, which is to offer them sexual favors to a degree…."

"Or go mid-evil on this ass," Kendra completed.

"Yes."

Kendra huffed out, "And I guess it has the side benefit knowing if they are armed and also being able to scope out the place, since they're probably faced down."

She's quick, the assassin noted mounting her lower back. At this point the massage was just a veiled excuse to put her hands all over the sexy detective's body LEGALLY.

"God Kiki….. YEA… right there… oh my….. Ugggggggggg!" Kendra moaned in sheer pain and pleasure. Kiko just knew how to work her hands. Her finger strength was exceptionally powerful and her back muscles were adroitly being kneaded like dough. She was becoming Jell-O under one of the most dangerous assassins in the country. Did she trust Kiko now that she realized that she was mounted? It was tactically a bad fighting position, but THIS was one of the best massages ever. It barely registered that Kiko set her towel totally aside and she was totally naked now.

"Kiki? Do I look like a Hawaiian hula girl on a dash board?" Kiko growled ever so slightly but put more pressure on her finger tips to the now trapped and helpless cop. How she wanted to OWN her. She cherished the control she had over people's lives. It was a guilty pleasure of hers.

"Ahhhhhhh! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!" Kendra beat the bed then jeered. "God soooo good! Kiki … Kiki… Kiki!"

Kiko dropped on top of the cop and put her in an almost playful but firm head lock with one arm and massaging her sore muscles even harder. "REALLY?"

"GOD! I'm not into S&M but… SHIT Kiko… This is better and fucking SEX!" Kendra grunted in near excruciating pain but relished it at the same time.

Kiko finally asked in a whisper next to her ear, "So you trust me then not to choke you out?"

Kendra realized what a bad position she was in and also totally forgot Kiko was an assassin; An extremely experienced one at that.

"Yeeeeeeeees," Kendra hissed going limp to show her the trust she had. In this position, she was dead in the water anyway.

Kiko was about to bite her ear lobe but stopped short letting her go and resuming her deep tissue massage. 'Shucks,' thought Kiko with a frown. She ALMOST took her.

"May I call you Kiki?" Kendra finally asked.

"May I call you Kennie?" Kiko counter offered.

"Sure."

"Then Yes."

Kiko added some oil towards the end and completed her massage on Kendra's lower back only to find that Kendra was fast asleep. She was in such a deep slumber that dirty thoughts ran through her head but decided it was time to go before she crossed way over the line.

She got up stealthy off of Kendra but to her surprise Kendra flipped over and just grabbed her arm to prevent her from leaving and said in a dreamy voice, "Hey. Can I get the deluxe package? Sore abs."

The mercenary's jaw almost hit the ground but did keep her composure. Kendra was now totally nude in front of her; Kendra's body inviting a cold hearted killer to take it. Kennie had no freak idea how bad of an idea this was.

Kiko nodded hesitantly and knew what Kendra was asking for was going WAY beyond friendship. To Kendra though it was being a very good friend. For Kiko however, this was equivalent to sex.

The assassin keeled next to the detective like a hunter to the prey and began with her abs. Kendra was so appetizing even though she covered her breast by crossing her arms over her chest as well as keeping her legs tightly clamped together. By Kendra doing this, it was even MORE of a challenge that must be conquered. Kiko HAD to get Kennie to reveal her secret Davinci's code of her OWN free will.

That didn't take long when she began to move up to her torso. Kendra was not only near asleep but was so relaxed, that she let a simple touch from Kiko's hands move her arm and hands out of the way.

As a massage therapist which she was not, it was a no no to touch her breasts but did so anyway. Kiko wanted more, oiling up, caressing her breasts, even her nipples until fully erect.

HEAVEN.

She then oil up her friend's inner thighs and like a miracle, the oceans parted ever so slightly revealing her sacred temple.

There, in that most vulnerable state, Kendra was an open book. PREY ready to be taken down. Kiko was almost rabid in lust, her oiled hands caressing her perky breasts. She trained to keep her composure.

She kneaded her inner thighs and kept approaching her sacred temple doors. It inched closer and closer.

She brushed against, grazing her field of dreams.

CLOSER

Her fingers frolicked and played in the field of dreams.

CLOSER

Her fingers reached her temple doors.

The detective was in a deep asleep.

Her raiding party split, with one hand caressing her firm tips her other polished the doors to the temple entrance.

There she stayed with her expression finally breaking to that of neediness. She bit her bottom lip to keep from plundering her best friend and raiding her most holy temple without warning.

So close but Kendra wasn't slick for her. It meant that she's better not ruin her trust.

With that realization, Kiko found herself resuming her normally massage and right as she completed, she worked up enough courage to cover her up and then perk Kendra on the cheek stealthily.

Kiko mused that Kendra was more addictive than Kennie even realized but relationships in Kiko's field were a weakness. Not only will it keep her from moving around, but with the surprisingly strong friendship they just formed, it was clouding her judgment. Others she worked with already recognized a change in her availability. What would happen if someone tried to hurt Kennie? Kiko hated to admit it, she'd respond in kind with or without a contract.

Bo was so distraught that she ended crying herself to sleep on the couch. She knew that if she saw Tamsin again, Tamsin would surely kill her. That and she made that same promise to Freya too. She did love Tamsin even in her messed up state.

Would she keep it her word? Yes. Her word was everything to her. Lauren had yet to text her or call which was good and bad.

Good since she got a little time to think and bad because she knew she was probably preoccupied with Suzie. It of course didn't help that she couldn't think straight.

It seemed like an hour passed for Bo, but to her it was hell. For the first time she was burdened with both confusion and indecisiveness, in addition to wallowing in self hate. Bo was so emotionally drained, she was dead to the world but she roused by an angel.

This angel must have known her state of sheer exhaustion, shell shocked at recent events. This one picked her up carrying her up the stairs to her shower to sit her in a chair while the blonde drew up a bath.

Bo tried like a drunk to identify this person but her vision was blurry. Even rubbing her eyes she could barely even stay awake. It was a blonde woman. Lauren? Tamsin probably hated her guts after all right now.

After a couple of minutes without a word, she was helped out of her clothing and hoisted into the tub where she plopped sloppily into the warm sudsy water that smelled more like pungent bath salts.

Someone who loved her was using a sponge to wash from head to toe her from outside of the tub. The sponge was a little more abrasive than she was use to but whoever was doing this cared for her deeply.

Bo wanted to say something, but she was babbling like a drunkard. No matter, this angel knew her, understood her without words and as such Bo trusted her.

Finally the angel waved a hand over her heavy lids and that was all Bo needed leaning her head back and drifting off towards her dreams.

Her final thought as smell of these weird bath salts cleared both her sinuses and her mind before the cloak of sleep fell over her?

'This blonde isn't Lauren. It's my angel Tamsin.'
