Aife
The succubus stood and walked down the short hall before she opened a door. "Well, this is new". She laughed.
"Sorry, I just needed to work off some..stuff". Isabeau stepped back.
"I won't ask. I just won't ask". Aife waved her hand in the air.
"Honestly, I thought I would get a workout in before I started the rest of my day. I know you don't mind that I'm here, so early". Isabeau punched the bag a few more times before finally stopping. She had been up before sunrise and decided to get away from her neighborhood before she crossed the street and broke her own word and kissed the doctor.
"Hell no, mama was in here late last night working off some steam too. But your stuff is not my steam". Aife smiled.
"Are they still at it?". Isabeau pulled her gloves off.
"That little human really thinks she's running things. She might have been running Trick and Dyson before we arrived, but that's over. I'm going to take this colony, if you don't". Aife handed the young succubus a towel.
Isabeau shook her head and walked around the punching bag. "They haven't threatened Lauren again, have they?".
"They want you or her. It's a simple minded but foolish plan". Aife grabbed a fresh pair of boxing gloves and put them on.
"This can't touch Lauren. But we must deal with them, today". Isabeau took a seat while her mother got her own workout in.
"She's trying to get them to do her dirty work. He won't make a move against us. We have his blood and yours mixed with his is far more powerful than anything those idiots can come up with". Aife went a few rounds before taking a seat.
"If there is so much as a hint of bullshit aimed in Lauren's direction, I will immediately drain all of them". Isabeau seethed.
"Trick has been here for thousands of years. He thinks this is his territory. He doesn't know that it's yours now. Not just by your birthright but by your powers. If we need to show them that over and over again, we will. I did have a little chat with Kenzi last night. The girl looked like she pissed all over Trick's precious pink couch". Aife laughed.
"What time does that dump open?". Isabeau asked.
"Eleven but we don't need to wait. If you want to go, let's go". Aife smiled and stood.
Isabeau followed her mother's car and climbed out when they reached the Dal. She walked in and never stopped until she found the trio. They weren't exactly being quiet with their outrage and plotting.
"Isabeau!". Dyson smiled and stood.
"Have you always been this dumb?". Isabeau asked.
"I'm sorry?". Dyson tilted his head to the side.
"I will never want you. I will never sleep with you. I will never align with any of you. I don't need to. There is nothing that any of you can offer me that I can't get or already have for myself. The little human here is lucky I spared her little sad thieving life. Imagine wasting your only life with these two losers". Isabeau started to laugh. "It's pathetic".
"Lauren is a human too. She's wasting her life on you!". Dyson growled and was suddenly thrown through two brick walls. It shattered around him and he growled again.
"I didn't even lift a hand." Isabeau seethed as she rubbed her hands together. "This is my town, now. Wherever I go. Wherever I sit, is mine. So, you three fuck twits can stop plotting to overthrow me or my mother. My love loves life, that's the only thing keeping any of you alive". Isabeau walked over and took a bottle from behind the bar. Trick didn't object. He couldn't. Not if he ever wants a relationship with the young succubus. "I'm only your granddaughter because grandmother fucked you. I don't need you either". Isabeau read his mind and it shook his being.
"Are we really going to stand here and be horse fucked by them!?". Kenzi screamed.
"Giddy up baby". Aife laughed.
"Don't, Kenzi!". Dyson growled.
"I'm not scared of them. This is our town. They can't just show up and claim it like they've lived here for years". Kenzi bit back.
"I said what I said. You can move. Nobody is keeping you here". Isabeau laughed as she took a drink.
"Trick!? Do something! Say something!". Kenzi threw her arms in the air.
"He can't. He doesn't have the balls to challenge me". Isabeau handed Aife a fresh bottle of her own.
"Kenzi, wait until another time". Trick finally spoke.
"That sounds like you're going to talk behind my back. Talk all that you want. But make a move and you won't be talking anymore". Isabeau threw her empty bottle at Trick, watched it break in his hand and grabbed another one.
Aife laughed as she followed the young succubus out of the bar. She heard the gasps that flowed behind them. "I didn't name her Isabeau for nothing". She laughed over her shoulder.
"What the fuck dudes?! We run this colony. Why are you standing there with your mouths open? Do something. You're Trick. You're Dyson. Do something!". Kenzi screamed.
"I don't know what I can do. She's not like any Fae I've ever seen." Trick shook his head. Just thinking of Isabeau reminds him of his wife. But she's not that Isabeau. She's dark and untrained. Untamed. Ruthless with no moral compass other than Lauren and humans not named Kenzi.
"That's shit. We know who you are. What you can do. Do it. We can deal with anything". Kenzi wanted to slap her leg but she is still recovering.
"I just need one chance with her. One afternoon. One night. She will be more reasonable then". Dyson smiled. "I can't get aroused but she can".
"Then get on it. Get your game face on. Go get that succubus!". Kenzi screamed.
"Stand down, Dyson". Trick warned.
"Trick. Stop being a pussy. We need to get her. Weaken her. Make her ours. Make her go through this shit!". Kenzi pointed at her legs.
"That will never happen to a Fae. Not that Fae anyway". Trick shook his head. "Call me names again and you can get your booze elsewhere".
"Ugh!". Kenzi screamed. "That older one was here last night. I thought she had killed the two of you. She's too unpredictable. We need to strike now or we will be sitting ducks".
"You would be. We would recover from everything". Trick replied.
"That's an insult too". Kenzi looked at Trick.
"Well, you're a human. We are not. That's a fact". Trick shrugged.
"You guys didn't want to listen to me at first. If we get her or Lauren, that's our momentum. Preferably Lauren because Isabeau will have no choice but to negotiate with us". Kenzi sat back in her soft chair.
"Trick, how hard would it be to get someone? Someone from the compound that likes Lauren. That could trick her into meeting with him or her and then we'd have our time to move on her". Dyson asked.
"I have never needed anything from Lauren outside of a Fae case that I couldn't figure out. I don't know who was friendly with her. When I asked for her assistance, I went through the Ash". Trick leaned on the bar.
"That's it. We go to the compound and ask around. As dull as that nut is, she probably made a friend". Kenzi tapped Dyson's back.
"I think we'd have better luck taking Aife". Dyson stopped in his tracks.
"No, Dyson". Trick spoke behind the wolf.
"The biggest weapon against any enemy is their weakness. Isabeau has shown two of hers. Get one of them, but hurry". Kenzi lifted her voice.
The duo watched Dyson take a deep breath before he walked out of the bar. As he walked out, Hale walked in. "Dyson is in heat again huh?".
"Hale, nice to see you". Trick smiled.
"Thanks Trick. It's good to see you too. Kenzi". Hale nodded.
"Hale, my boy. Come, sit". Kenzi smiled.
"I've never been your boy. I'm not Dyson but I can smell a con a mile away". Hale laughed as he took a cup of coffee from Trick.
"Now, there's no need for that. I just need a little information. That's all". Kenzi smiled.
"Information like what?". Hale turned back to the woman.
"Who were Lauren's friends at the compound?". Kenzi pulled out pen and paper.
Hale laughed. "You guys are behind the times. The compound has an all new staff. Aife cleaned that place up".
"Damn it! Of course she would!". Kenzi threw her items to the floor. "You must know a name. Give me one. Any name will do".
"Do I look like boo boo the fool? Everyone knows about Isabeau and Aife by now. I love my lungs. I love my siren. I love my life. I won't die for you, Kenzi. Trick, my man, thanks for the coffee but you really should dump the lump sitting on that couch". Hale pulled his hat on and started to walk out.
"Well, I never!". Kenzi scoffed.
"And you never will". Hale laughed as he walked out. He has known Trick and Dyson for many years. But when Kenzi entered the picture a lot of shit started happening and he distanced himself from them. A lot of innocents died because of Kenzi's scheming.
"Well, get on the phone, Trick. You're our last chance if Dyson comes back empty handed". Kenzi looked at the man. But Trick didn't do as she asked. In fact, he left her where she was without another word.
Lauren
Lauren had slept in and it was so relaxing. She drew herself a bubble bath and that's where she was. In a bath with music in the background. Not loud enough she'd miss anyone knocking but loud enough to be enjoyed. She checked her phone and half frowned. Isabeau hadn't called or sent a single text. She laughed thinking of how the succubus said she's not going to kiss her until they have another date or two.
She closed her eyes and thought of that first kiss. It was soft, wet and warm. There was a pull to it too. But the doctor knows it's the pull of her succubus. She can already imagine being on top of that one. Pulling at her clothes. Pulling at her hair. Those long dark and delicious locks. She slapped herself in the face with some water and focused on the wine in her hand. She tilted the glass and thought about their conversation. If they are dating, then she needs to find something to do until the next one. She has no alarm to answer to. Nowhere to go but around her house. Her kitchen is stocked with everything she could want or need. How is a scientist so used to doing something not going to do anything?
She washed, dried off and dressed. She walked downstairs and headed towards the kitchen. She had a quick breakfast and walked to check for the newspaper. Now that one was being delivered to her. She gasped when she opened the door. "Can I help you?". She asked.
"Dr. Lewis. I was instructed not to knock but to wait until you opened your door to deliver these. Boys". The man called. Twenty men came forward. They were all carrying a dozen roses. Quietly they walked in and made a circle but not so much that the doctor couldn't walk around. She held the newspaper against her face as tears fell. She knows this is Isabeau's doing but how. How did she know the Doctor loves these flowers? She wanted to tip them but was told that had been amply handled too.
The blonde took a seat on her couch and inhaled the scent of the flowers. She noticed a note on one of them. "Can't wait until our next date", the card read. Lauren smiled and squeezed it in her hands.
As clean as she felt after her bath, she had never felt this pure. This cared about. Nobody she had dated before had done all of this. She's giving the doctor space to be herself and think. She's probably giving the doctor time to back out of dating her. But that's not going to happen. Ever. Well, what will she do now? Lauren wondered to herself. She's never been a person who watches tv all day. Not even binging science shows. There was always something to do. Something to dissect. She could dissect her feelings for the succubus but she won't do that ever, either. She wants them to grow naturally and they are. The woman walked her to the door and waited until she heard the door lock before she went to her own house across the street. She did lean close enough for a kiss but only inhaled the blonde's breath. What succubus can do that? Hers.
Well, there's a full day ahead of her. She's about to find something to get into.
Isabeau and Aife
"I still don't like it here, but for Lauren, I'll stay. I will do anything for her". Isabeau took a bite of her food.
"We can clean it up. Make it more suitable to your tastes". Aife looked around the small restaurant. They had cleared it down to the cook and waiter after they walked in.
"How long do you date before you become a couple?". Isabeau asked.
Aife laughed at the question. It is absolutely adorable. "That's something the two of you will have to decide for yourselves".
"You know I'm not very patient. But if that's what you got, that's what you got". Isabeau wiped her mouth with a napkin and ordered another drink.
"Go on ten dates, go on fifty dates. Have fun. Relax. Breathe. She doesn't seem the type to just date you to be dating you. Look at her girlfriend. She'd been in that pod for years. She is interested in you sweetie. I know your patience level is not very high. But wait. Wait with her." The old succubus is enjoying this show. She gets to watch her daughter actually date someone. Something her mother and her missed out on when Aife was Isabeau's age.
"I'm just not sure what we can do. How many times can we go out and eat? How many times can we go out dancing? I don't even know what's here to do." Isabeau pushed her plate away.
"It's a boring town but you my dear, can liven it up. Get out and think of stuff. Make up something to do. Take her walking. Take her hiking. Or let her pick where you will go. She wants to date you here so she must have some idea of what you can do". Aife pushed the waiter back before he could get to the table again.
"Well, damn!". Isabeau laughed. "It's not so much as me wanting to date her as it is her wanting to date me. Got it".
"You're Fae, Isabeau. A human wants to date you. You. You two are going to have a lot of fun. Enjoy it. Let it happen, naturally". Aife leaned back in her seat.
"Ugh!". Isabeau laughed.
"I know, baby, I know. Just wait". Aife pushed another drink towards the young succubus.
"I'm going to need my own gym at home." Isabeau pulled her phone out and dialed the nearest sporting goods store.
Aife laughed until her stomach hurt. She knows it's not funny but it is. A succubus holding out for sex is priceless and naturally impossible. She only feeds on Doug because he's only into men and only friends with Isabeau. Hell, that boy is family to them after all of these years.
Dyson
The wolf was in his car and getting nowhere. He had been on the road for hours. No Light Fae lead had led anywhere and he wouldn't dare ask a Dark Fae for help. He can't get that succubus out of his mind. Images of them together keep popping into his head and the thought causes him to shift in his seat. His wolf wants her like fresh meat on a bone.
She's beautiful too. Feisty but beautiful. He bit his lip so hard thinking of her and Lauren, that it nearly bled. That doctor doesn't deserve to have a Fae. Let her waste her life on a useless human. For years he'd been in and out of bed with women but none of them look like they could match him like Isabeau probably could. Hell, he knows she can. She needs to know that.
He growled when his car spun around and it wasn't his doing. Isabeau, he thought. He must be close to her or Lauren. He held on as his car sped down the street and he couldn't stop it.
"If he dies, he dies". Isabeau looked at Aife.
"What? Who?". The succubus looked around.
"Dyson. He's close to our neighborhood. I sent his ass going in another direction. With me not knowing the area all that well, if he dies, he dies". Isabeau explained. "No innocents will though". She smiled.
Lauren
The doctor had played around in her house all day. She worked in every room, in the backyard. Dusting, cleaning. But there was nothing to dust. There was nothing dirty inside. She stood drinking a glass of water when there was a knock at her door. "Yes?". She opened the door.
"Dr. Lewis? We have instructions to take you for a full body massage". A man gestured to a limousine.
"I didn't order this". Lauren laughed.
"It's on the house". The man smiled as Lauren walked to the car. She climbed in and laughed again. The back seat was filled with small medical equipment. "To keep your mind occupied on the ride over". A note read. That succubus is going to spoil her. If their date is tomorrow, then this must be Isabeau's idea to have Lauren relaxed and ready for anything.
Isabeau
"I want the whole town, make it happen". Blue eyes smiled wildly as she hung her phone up and licked her lips as she sat back.
