A/N: A little surprise for you guys in this chapter. First thanks to those who read this story, follow it, and add it to your favorites. For those who haven't figured it out Bo is still dealing with inner demons making her balance between light and dark similar to walking a fine line. That made her give into her anger/jealousy easier. I know everyone hates Doccubus apart but technically they aren't together so other people are free game. Again Lauren has to consider all her options no matter how conflicted she feels. Plus she does have that inner animal taking control over her here and there. Still have tons of flashbacks to come. To reviewer Spyklv, I love how you put all the things together. You see the fine print, love it. Warning this chapter is M rated.
Now for that surprise, the long awaited for Lauren/Ava scene that you guys have asked for thanks to the wickedly talented incredible writing of SOMEWHATADDICTED! Who put all their scenes together and added her writing throughout the story for you guys, so give her a HUGE SHOUT OUT at what you think! Enjoy…
BO & TAMSIN
Bo followed Tamsin through the dimly light hallways of the dark fae compound. This was nothing like the fashionable, modern building of Evony's. No, everything about this compound screamed dark fae starting with the first impression of the building on the outside, to the medieval décor inside. Bo thought the only thing it was missing was the decoration of Gargoyles. It was an old, large building that Damon had changed to give the appearance of a castle. At the front were several guards and Bo watched closely as the Valkyrie informed them of their intent. The men pointed toward the elevators and Bo followed Tamsin through the doors as they headed to the underground floor.
As the pair stepped out of the elevator, they were greeted by a long hall with stone walls and flooring that was lit by torches. If the rest of the place didn't look the part, this level certainly screamed dark ages. Bo debated long and hard coming here, thinking it would probably be better if she went to Lauren's and had that talk with Kenzi. Ultimately she decided against it, not ready to face what she had just done. She knew she acted poorly and just took a big step back in winning the shifter's heart. The succubus wasn't just referring to sleeping with Tamsin, but the unnecessary fight she started with the blonde shifter at the thought of her working under Ava. That was what sent her running to the Valkyrie, the mere thought of Lauren with Ava. The idea of the seemingly perfect Ash with Lauren just ignites her dark side. Maybe it's the fact that the beautiful Ash seemed to be so elegant, but Bo knew something that the others didn't. Knowing what she does now, she was proud of herself for going to the Morrigan. Evony was the one person Bo knew wouldn't hold back, and she didn't, holding up her end of the bargain in spades.
Seeing Bo was lost in her own thoughts as they neared Damon, Tamsin nudged her. The door was wooden with metal across it just like the Dark Ages. Tamsin pushed the door open and what they saw was not at all what Bo was expecting. Inside was a UFC fighting ring with two men kicking the shit out of one other. When the door opened, the Morrigan of Montreal glanced over his shoulder, smirking at the two newcomers before turning his attention back to his opponent. Bo leaned towards Tamsin, "That's Finnick from the Hunger Games, and suddenly I feel like Kenzi." The Morrigan fit the description of the Hunger Game competitor to a tee. He had dark blonde hair, sea green eyes, and a bronzed, muscular body. His boxing shorts left little to the imagination. Suddenly he moved towards his opponent in a predatory style, hitting the other fae with a right hook that lifted him off of his feet and sending him flying across the ring.
Tamsin grinned as she explained to Bo, "Lupean, fae of power, pain and suffering."
When the Morrigan faced the two again, his entrapping green eyes were replaced with amber ones before returning back to their true color. He went over to the side of the ring ignoring the fae that he just knocked out. "Tamsin is that the unaligned succubus?" Even his voice was sexy. Deep and seductive without even trying. When the Valkyrie nodded he spoke to Bo, "Any chance you came here to pledge to the dark?"
"I take it no matter what city I am in, this isn't going to change?" Bo wasn't going to swoon for the alluring Morrigan. She headed over to the cage and hooked her fingers into the wires that were separating them. Bo pulled herself up, coming face to with Damon. "And neither will I," she practically purred out.
Damon narrowed his eyes at the stunning succubus before he closed them, inhaling deeply as he bent forward toward the cage. "Your suffering is coming off you like a tidal wave succubus. As you can sense auras, I can sense pain and suffering, as well as inflict it." His lips turned up into a slight smile, enjoying the feel of her discomfort.
Bo raised an eyebrow, "Is that supposed to be a threat?" She didn't like the idea that there was a fae that could control the emotions that she feared the most, if only because of how they could be used. Damon could use Bo's pain at not having Lauren against her in many ways that she didn't care to find out about.
The Morrigan licked his bottom lip before giving one of the most provocative grins Bo has ever seen. "No, why would I threaten someone so breathtaking? Evony told me you were headed to my city, but she failed to mention how gorgeous you were." Damon was definitely flirting with Bo. Her pain and broken heart were enticing, attracting him the way a succubus was attracted to sexual energy.
"Oh good another member of Team Bo," Tamsin spat from where she was still standing as she rolled her eyes. It didn't shock the dark fae that the Morrigan would flirt with Bo. Pretty much everyone did. Knowing his fae type all too well, she knew it would be almost irresistible to him. Tamsin wasn't testing Damon though, she was seeing what Bo would do. She was with Bo at her father's. She saw a side of her that no one else saw except Dyson. Bo was different, she didn't reason. She never killed, but she wasn't the Bo everyone knew. Slowly she came around and when she felt more and more like her former self, they finally left. It took two weeks for her to feel okay enough to leave and she was still wobbling. The Valkyrie was trying to be a friend the only way she knew how, but it wasn't like she had tons of experience. Before Bo and crew, all Tamsin had was acquaintances. Bo expressed how much she wanted to get Lauren back, then gets into a huge argument with her after a night of sex and jumps into bed with the Valkyrie. Tamsin figured this was the best way to test her succubus nature. The dark fae knew her new leader was unbelievably hot, so this would definitely be a great way to test the succubus's fortitude.
LIGHT FAE COMPOUND
With her senses overcome by the beautiful Ash's scent, her touch and her taste, Lauren couldn't say how long they allowed their lips and hands to explore one another's bodies before Ava finally pulled back slightly and touched their foreheads together, leaving both women breathless from the heated exchange. The sexual energy between them was enough to power the compound and with the doctor's wolf hormones kicked it, she was amazed she hadn't shredded the woman's clothes to bits and taken her right there in the lab.
Regardless of any thing she really wanted to do, the doctor was always a stickler for being professional in the workplace. These last few moments, as amazing as they were, already had her feeling a bit upset with herself for allowing it to happen in her lab. She wants this. She wants Ava. She has since the first day she laid eyes on her and blabbered like an idiot. Having the woman in her arms right now looking at her with those crystal blue eyes and smelling her arousal, the doctor is amazed that she has been able to control her wolf enough to avoid the possible awkward moment of someone walking in on the two of them, as they would no doubt destroy the place in a fit of furious passion.
Watching the new fae get lost in her thoughts, Ava kept her body tight against Lauren's while she slipped her hand back under the blonde's shirt and drug her nails along the shifter's toned stomach. Lauren hissed and was immediately drawn back to the present as she turned her attention to the Ash, who was smirking seductively at her. The Mesmer knows Lauren well enough to know what she's thinking and the lab is not where she wants this to happen either. Yes, there is the professional part of the equation and there is a lot of expensive equipment and important research that the pair would no doubt destroy, but mostly, she wanted it to be more romantic and not just some roll in the hay. If she was going to win the shifter's heart, it would not be with a quick fling in the lab, no, she enjoys courting a woman and she would have to remind Lauren that she was better than that.
They have been at this dance for months now, but Ava is ready to take the lead. She enjoys being in control and it's time she officially threw her hat in for the shifter's heart. Nikki and Bo have both had their time with Lauren, so they already had a lead in that department. Sex is a big part of the shifter, but she has reinforced over and over how special the blonde is and how she deserves more. Now she would show her what the Ash of Montreal has to offer.
"I think you've done enough work today doctor," Ava purred, her warm breath against the shifter's skin caused Lauren to shiver.
Trying her best to maintain a level head when her wolf is ready to explode, the doctor replies softly, "Is that so?" She is pretty sure she knows where they are heading, Ava has made that much clear, still, part of her can't believe that the Mesmer wants her and rather than risk doing something she would regret, she lets the Ash take the lead.
Ava brushed her nose against Lauren's neck and inhaled deeply, "Mmm, yes. You're coming with me." She didn't give the doctor any time to protest as she took her hand and led her out of the lab and into her Lamborghini, wasting no time as they sped off to Ava's palace.
LAUREN & KENZI'S PLACE
Bruce knocked on the door waiting for the tiny human to answer. Kenzi held onto the door as she opened it. "You missed it. It was like morning in the Gambino household," she swung the door open wider for the giant to enter.
"What happened now," Bruce huffed. He was afraid of this happening. As soon as Kenzi first started telling him about the Bo/Lauren saga ten months ago, he instantly sided with Lauren. The Goth wasn't a fan of that, but from what he heard, he could easily see the doctor's point of view in the whole thing. When Lauren finally woke up, he saw things through her eyes and knew right then and there that the new shifter would always love Bo, even if she didn't pick a mate. When he saw Bo, he secretly rooted for her knowing the two could perfectly complement each other if Bo would just grow up. That's a big "IF."
"Came home last night and heard the sexcapades. Then it went from Sweet Home Alabama to Mr. and Mrs. Smith when they were trying to kill each other," Kenzi stepped into the kitchen grabbing a slice of pizza that she ordered as she poured her tequila. The Goth was hopeful that Bo would stay and talk to her, but not at all shocked that she didn't. Bo came back different. On the surface the same old succubus was there, but underneath, her best friend had changed. When Kenzi first moved to Montreal with Lauren she talked to Bo on the phone at least four times a week. That never changed, yet she still had no idea that Bo was going to show up in Quebec to celebrate Lauren's freedom.
When Bo showed up in Montreal the next day, Kenzi had hoped that the succubus was there to fight for Lauren and to finally own up to the mistakes she made in the relationship. The Goth knew that Lauren made some errors as well, but the blonde shifter was well aware of her mistakes. The new fae has wanted to have that talk with Bo since they played Amish in the woods ten months ago. By the time they returned to Toronto, Bo was with Tamsin and Lauren decided that it just didn't matter anymore.
Bruce sat at the counter grabbing a slice of pizza for himself, "That doesn't really explain much."
Kenzi shrugged her shoulders, "Yeah well it's about as much as I know. Super short summary; sexcapades, yelling, Lauren went to work and Bo left." All this was precisely why she was Team Ava. Until Bo showed that she truly wanted to try and make amends, how could she feel otherwise? This was difficult for her, too. They were both her best friends and she wanted both of them to be happy. Ava has gotten to know Kenzi, Dyson, Hale and even the two dark fae that have become a part of their group. Nikki did the same. While Bo had yet to sit down and talk, other than that first day when she told them why she came back. Besides that, Bo has made no attempts, only taking time to seduce Lauren. At this point, Kenzi didn't even know what was going on with them anymore, just that Lauren didn't pick a mate and she was pretty happy for that.
DARK FAE COMPOUND
The three had made their way through the castle to Damon's office. Leaving the two ladies alone while he changed clothes, he returned wearing jeans that hugged him in all the right places and a very fitting tight black v-neck shirt that clung to his body like it had been painted on. The door swung open as Vex made his entrance. The dark fae Mesmer was wearing black leather pants with a sheer black shirt. He glanced over at Bo, "Peachy, you made your way here I see. Welcome the unaligned succubus walking freely between the light and dark." He went over to the pair throwing one arm over each of them as he faced Bo, "I don't think this is the way back to the doctor's heart crumpet." He nodded towards the Morrigan, "Thinking of shagging the new boss?"
Bo and Tamsin both pushed his arm off of them. "She is hiding from the sunshine gang," Tamsin answered Vex, "by being my very sexy shadow," she winked at the succubus.
Damon watched them, amused at their way of conversing. He liked that he had two dark fae that hung out with light fae. It might give him a way to learn more about Ava besides the little bit that the Ash let be known about her. Evony pulled stunts in Toronto that would never fly in Montreal. Ava would have stopped them and had her removed as Morrigan, if not killed. When Damon did things, he made sure to do them outside of the city limits, or just kill the people that he used to gather information for him. Now he had the unaligned succubus who was going after the blonde shifter that the Ash wanted. He knew as soon as he saw Bo that he would help her in any way he could, but for now, he was curious as to what Vex was doing here. "Did you come here Vex to find out about my sex life? That's more of a conversation at a bar with drinks, not my office," he wasn't flirting with the Mesmer, he just teased him based on his own comments.
"You have been a naughty boy Morrigan. Ava has her ex, Lauren's bed mate and the siren researching that light fae who is comatose in her medical facility, which your on again off again sex kitten saved." Vex sat in one of the chairs putting his feet up on Damon's desk as he put his hands behind his head kicking back.
Right then, Bo regretted going to the compound knowing she should have gone to Lauren's. Now there was another secret she had to keep. It was apparent that Damon had a hand in this and not only was it keeping something from Lauren and her friends, but the frigging Ash. That of course, was her other secret. The things Evony found out, she clearly didn't tell Damon, which made Bo wonder why that would be. Bo knew she screwed up this morning. Thinking of Lauren and Ava just gave Bo a mental picture she was hoping wouldn't pop back into her mind anytime soon. Her jealousy took over and the anger quickly followed. She knew Lauren was asking for them to talk. It would have been her chance to explain all of the things that she has wanted to say for so long. Instead, she wasn't paying attention to a word Lauren said. Bo only focused on the fact that Lauren would be near the sultry Ash, how she never made the mistakes Bo did and didn't have the screwed up history that she did with the blonde.
This led to her next secret, that instead of just agreeing to talk to Lauren later that night, instead of just controlling that jealous side and listening, Bo let the anger control her and wanted to even the score, so to speak. Thinking of Lauren with Nikki and then the possibility of her with Ava, made her go to Tamsin to inflict the same hurt she was feeling. Now of course, she knew that it was asinine and immature, but she couldn't rewind time. Bo was just proud that she didn't jump Damon's bones, because the temptation was very strong. What stopped the succubus was knowing she had a lot of proving to do and two secrets to discuss…well, now a third one.
"Two wolves and a siren, interesting. Ava puts together quite the army. Vex what makes you think I had a hand in this," Damon inquired. Although he did have a part in it. He hired a fae from the next town to try and get information about the Ash, since he had next to none. Then it occurred to him to ask Bo, hoping she would spill seeing as how she was not a fan of the woman trying to bed her ex. "What do you know about Ava?"
Vex snorted a bit when he first heard the Morrigan ask him that. "Because you hate that Ash and considering there hasn't been a lovely twist in irony that you two became chums. Add to that, you are the only one with the brass balls big enough to make a move against her." The Mesmer thought the answer was obvious on why he suspected, he knew, it had to be Damon's work.
All three were staring at Bo waiting for her to respond. Not letting her cards show, she dismissed the question and threw it back at the Morrigan. "I don't like her. I don't like her classy elegant superior ways. I just got here and don't know much about her other then she has connections. What do you know Damon?" Since Bo didn't share Evony's information with her friends yet, there was not a chance in hell she would tell the new Morrigan. Truthfully, Bo didn't tell her friends because there was a part of her that thought they might not believe it coming from Evony, especially after all the incredible things the Ash has done for them lately. The astounding lab she gave Lauren, having a hand in freeing her, getting to know all her friends and getting Dyson his love back to choose a mate again. The woman has been a virtual mother Theresa and it sickened her.
Damon flashed his killer smile, "All I know is she is powerful, connected, has money and was the Ash long before I was the Morrigan. What makes me so curious about her is why so little is known." That's exactly what bugged him. Either she was that smart to let so little information leak, or there was something she had to hide. Damon couldn't prove one way over the other, but that's what he has been trying to do with very little success.
AVA'S RESIDENCE
The ride to the Ash's home was filled with a comfortable silence as both women took their turn casting wanting glances at the other. Ava maintained contact with the wolf by keeping her hand on Lauren's knee, stroking it lightly with her thumb to remind her of her intent. She knew that the blonde had a tendency to get lost in thoughts and with her ex screwing with her feelings, she didn't want to risk a chance that Lauren might change her mind. The thought of that even being a possibility caused the Ash to step harder on the accelerator in an effort to get home as quickly as possible.
Being with the Mesmer brought about a calm that Lauren hadn't expected considering how badly her wolf wants to dominate the woman. Maybe it's because Lauren has finally accepted Bo for what she is and that their relationship will always be filled with moments of intimacy and mind blowing sex, coupled with childish immaturity and anger. She deserved better, everyone told her so, Dyson, Kenzi, Ava. Allowing herself to be free of the hold Bo had over her just moments ago, the words the Ash spoke to her not so long ago echoed in her head, "The one who makes you cry, isn't worth your tears."The doctor took a deep breath and looked over at the blue eyed Mesmer who had a wickedly seductive smirk on her face. She finally believes that she is ready to explore her options. Bo was always in the background of her mind, her heart, preventing her from moving forward. While the shifter plans to keep a tight lock on her heart for now, it was long past time to quit fooling herself with her ex and let her wolf out to play.
When the Lamborghini pulled up to Ava's palatial residence, Lauren couldn't recall any of the ride. She smiled appreciatively as Ava trotted around to open her door like she always did. The blonde had to admit that it was a nice feeling to be doted upon. No one else that she has ever been with has been so considerate of her needs or feelings and it made her feel special, which was new territory for the doctor.
Once again, Ava grabbed her by the hand and quickly led her inside. She has been here a few times over the last few months and it was the typical afternoon scene of servants milling about, but as they turn an unfamiliar corner to the Ash's private quarters, Lauren notices a distinct change in décor. The long hall is adorned with antiques, sculptures, family photographs and portraits that encompass Ava's entire life. The geek in her wondered how old certain pieces were and if anyone famous did the work as she took in the familial history.
Opening the door for the shifter to enter her suite, the blonde was in awe of the size of the quarters. It was like an apartment in itself, complete with a small but modern kitchen, living room, office area, a beautiful picturesque window overlooking the city and a giant bedroom. Ava locked her door to avoid any unnecessary interruptions, not that anyone would dare, and moved to the kitchen to open a bottle of wine, leaving the shifter to get a better look at the space. Lauren casually walked toward the window, "This is quite the place you have here."
Ava just smiled her response and continued pouring two glasses of the sweet red wine. Lauren could immediately sense the change in energy. With her heightened senses, she could practically smell the woman's arousal over her sweet perfume, as her wolf began to stir once more. The Ash glanced up to catch brown eyes watching her every move intently and smiled inwardly at finally having the new fae's full attention. From a distance, the Mesmer took in the sight of the blonde. She was stunning beautiful, yet awkwardly adorable, and now the wolf has given her that hint of danger that made the total package unbelievably sexy.
Lauren moved gracefully back across the room catching a glimpse of the enormous bedroom with a custom made, oversized canopy bed. Ava approached her predatorily, holding a glass out to her. Accepting the glass, Ava offered a toast, "Lauren, may you finally get all that you so richly deserve."
Caught off guard by the heartfelt words, Lauren found herself blushing slightly and rolled her eyes at herself for still feeling shy and vulnerable at times, despite her wolf. Even though she now has the courage to act on her desires, part of her is still the awkward geeky girl that is surprised when anyone gives her attention, particularly a woman as beautiful as the Ash. The glasses clink and shifter sipped her wine, savoring the sweet liquor before giving a sexy smirk of her own, as she openly allowed her eyes to rake down the dark haired mesmer's breathtaking body.
Taking another look at the oversized bed, Ava comments, "I know it's big, but it's the best night's sleep you'll ever have."
A sly smile pulls at Lauren's lips as she teased, "Who said anything about sleep?"
Watching the mesmer's eyes darken with desire, both ladies put down their glasses as the Ash followed the shifter into the bedroom. Lauren ran her hand over the comforter and smiled, "You know, they say that anyone with a bed this big must be over compensation for something."
Ava chuckled at the playfulness of the doctor. "Well, I can assure you, that if we are comparing size," she motioned across her generous breasts with a glint in her eye, "the bed is much too small."
Lauren threw her head back and laughed heartily, "Touché."
Unable to hold off any longer, Ava reaches around and pulls Lauren against her. They have been building up to this since they met. She could feel the heat in the shifter's glances, their kisses were mind blowing and she felt an ache between her legs imagining how the sex would be. Lauren let her head fall back, exposing her long neck to the Mesmer, who wasted no time nipping and sucking her way down. The blonde shifter moaned as her arousal grew by leaps and bounds as the woman knew just how to push her buttons. Her wolf no longer caring to stay contained, Lauren pushed the Ash back to the wall and crashed their lips together in a fiery kiss while her leg slipped between the mesmer's and rubbed against her throbbing sex.
Ava had no plan to be dominated, she wanted to show Lauren who was in control as she swiftly flipped them, crashing the wolf's back against the wall and diving in for another earth shattering kiss. As Lauren moved to regain control, Ava used her ability, pinning the shifter's hands back to the wall and grinning wickedly. The wolf didn't find it nearly as funny as she struggled against the unseen force to be free. The Mesmer slowly undressed the helpless shifter whose anger was nearly equal to how turned on she was right now.
Lauren hissed, "That's cheating," as she closed her eyes feeling the burning inside at being dominated. The wolf didn't enjoy it, but there was something else more exciting to it that had her ramped up to ten in a hurry. Lauren felt as if she would burst out of her skin if she was not released soon and she wasn't entirely sure that was a good thing, but it sure felt like it.
Ava leaned in, her lips just millimeters away from Lauren's, "All's fair, so they say," she whispered with a smile. "I thought you'd enjoy it. You could just relax and be pleasured, let me have my wicked way with you. I promise you'll not be sorry."
While the proposal was enticing as the shifter could feel the wetness dripping from her core, she also knew that Ava liked control and that was one thing she didn't intend to give her, at least not tonight. "I think it's you that has a hidden desire to be dominated," Lauren rasped back. "All these years of controlling everyone around you and never letting go even once to allow yourself to be pleasured. I think you've been waiting for someone strong enough to take that control." The blonde knew she was on the right track when something changed in the mesmer's eyes.
Suddenly she was released from the hold and without any further thought, Lauren lifted the mesmer up and carried her to the bed while the shifter's tongue forcefully explored the warm recesses of her lover's mouth. Ava gave in to the wolf and as Lauren dropped her on the bed and hovered over her, the Ash closed her eyes and dropped her head back in submission. Inside the wolf howled in victory, quickly ripping and tearing the clothes from the woman's body without regard. Lauren let her claws and incisors out slightly, taking on a partial shift as she watched the Mesmer tremble slightly. She grinned and lightly teased her sharp claw down from her lover's collar bone, between her delicious, silky mounds and stopped just above her wet center. Ava looked on with terrified excitement as she allowed the wolf to continue on, trusting that Lauren would not lose control as her need to be touched grew with every passing moment despite her fear. The blonde lowered herself down and nipped lightly on Ava's shoulder, earning a groan as the woman arched her hips up asking to be touched where she so desperately wanted it.
Shifting back to her full human form, Lauren's eyes flashed yellow, loving every second of this. She could feel their hearts pounding together and based on the scent, she knew that her lover was more than desperate to feel her inside. Ava reached up and pulled Lauren's face to hers, sucking on her bottom lip while their hips took on a life of their own. The Mesmer needed more. She wanted the wolf to take her and for the first time in her life, she was ready to beg for it. Lauren worked her way down, taking her time to appreciate the Ash's most prominent assets as the shifter teased for a few more minutes, prolonging the Ash's agony by letting her tongue dance around the area that was bursting at the seams to be touched.
"Dammit Lauren, I need you inside me" she hissed, causing the blonde to smile, but not to give in to her demand. When Ava tried to sit up again, Lauren growled, her eyes flashing dangerously and pushed her hands over her head, pinning them to the bed. Ava relented, but began to grind her hips harder in an effort to dull the ache. The wolf sat back on her heels and turned her attention to the soaked center before her. Licking her lips in delight, she grinned wickedly as she forcefully spread the Ash's legs, devoured the wetness within and brought the Mesmer to multiple, explosive orgasms with her talented tongue.
Content that her point had been made, the shifter finally released her lover's legs and slid up her body, running her sex coated tongue over her lips to taste herself. "Mmmm, you were delicious Ava," Lauren purred against the woman's lips, feeling her shiver still from even the lightest contact. The Ash looked up into brown eyes, no words coming to her as her mind was good enough at the moment. Pulling the blonde down against her body and holding her tight, the one thing Ava knew for sure was that Dr. Lauren Lewis was something special and she was going to stop at nothing to win her heart.
LATER THAT NIGHT
Bo knocked on the door to Lauren and Kenzi's place feeling slightly nervous at seeing the blonde shifter. She heard Kenzi yell that it was unlocked and let herself in. The tiny Goth was in the living room with Bruce. The brunette looked around but didn't see anyone else, "Where is everyone?"
"D-Man, Hale, and Nikki should be back in the next hour. Hale just called. Lauren must still be working, they had some faemergency earlier that D told me about. Tried reaching her a few times, but just got her voicemail." Kenzi answered from the couch. She wasn't going to push Bo to talk. When the succubus was ready, Kenzi would be there.
Bruce called out to Bo, "We got take out, help yourself and come on in here." He was trying to get Bo comfortable. When people were comfortable they opened up and he knew that Kenzi was secretly ticked at Bo's behavior, but would never broach the subject.
The brunette grabbed a plate, threw some food on it and headed into the living room, sitting next to Kenzi since Bruce took up the whole love seat. "I screwed up," Bo sighed. Suddenly losing her appetite, she put the plate down. She needed her best friend. She didn't know Bruce well, but she would take any and all the advice she could get at this point. For now she would leave out Evony and Damon. Confessing about Tamsin was all she could do, step at a time for her.
"No shit Sherlock. Kinda of got that this morning when I awoke to Anakin and Obi Wan Star Wars III, Revenge of the Sith going down," Kenzi placed her drink down on the table, observing the look on her old friend's face. She realized that Bo was finally going to open up. She also chose to ignore the smug look Bruce was giving her.
TORONTO
Evony was unwinding from a rather trying day with her feet kicked up on her desk and a stiff drink in her hand when one of her dark fae knocked on her door. "What," she spat out. It was a long day and she didn't want to be bothered anymore. She loved being the Morrigan, but she wasn't a fan of the politics. She played nice, played being the key word, for the fae elder's sake, but the rest was just exhausting and put a crimp in her extracurricular activities.
The man stepped cautiously into his boss's office, "I think I found it Morrigan."
The irritation faded rapidly from the dark fae leader as a small smirk tugged at her lips. "Sweetie, next time lead with that."
